NOVEL WEB Chapter 27
"Why is my aunt sharpening the knife in the middle of the night? What's the purpose of sharpening the knife?"
Chen Bin thought secretly.
Who knew that my aunt, who had been sharpening the knife with her head down, suddenly said: "Abin, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"Have you discovered me a long time ago?" Chen Bin was shocked. Since he was discovered, he just asked to the end!
"I ordered a takeaway, why are you still in the kitchen?"
"Sharpening the knife." The aunt said coldly.
Nonsense, of course I know you are sharpening the knife!
Chen Bin laughed dryly and said, "What are you sharpening the knife for?"
The aunt's answer surprised Chen Bin.
Aunt said: "Murder!"
"You said it so bluntly?" Chen Bin was more and more confused.
"Who is my aunt going to kill? Did she know in advance that the woman in red was coming, so she sharpened the knife to prepare?"
Chen Bin was getting more and more confused about the temperament of his aunt's family. Who is the source of the weirdness? Who is just infected by the weirdness? What is the purpose of being infected?
"Mr. Chen Bin, please take your takeaway."
The voice of the woman in red came from outside the house.
Chen Bin was relieved when he saw that his aunt did not react after hearing the voice.
"It seems that only when my aunt and the woman in red meet can the 'Berserker' bloodline be triggered!"
Chen Bin came to the door to pick up the takeaway and asked tentatively: "Can you leave the takeaway at the door and I will pick it up later?"
"No, there is a rule that you must open the door in person to pick it up." The woman in red said.
"It really doesn't work. Should I open the door?"
Chen Bin began to think about it. While he was thinking, the woman in red began to knock on the door, or more accurately, to smash the door.
"Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!"
The voice was repeated mechanically and strangely, as if Chen Bin would be smashed by the woman if he hesitated for a while.
At this time, in the meeting room of the senior leaders of Longguo.
Everyone looked at the live broadcast screen, feeling extremely nervous.
"What is Chen Bin thinking? Why hasn't he opened the door yet?"
"Although opening the door is risky, it can at least ensure safety at this stage. If the woman in red breaks the door, the result will be hard to predict."
Xiao Zhao, who has been serving Qin Lao, seems to have seen Chen Bin's thoughts.
"Chen Bin wants to get the takeaway without opening the door for the woman in red!"
"This is impossible! What's the point of doing this?" Someone puzzled.
Xiao Zhao narrowed his eyes and thought: "He wants to... verify!"
"Verify?"
"Yes, he wants to verify, what is the difference between letting the woman in red enter the room and not entering the room, and to control the variables for a control experiment. All the Chosen Ones who are still alive have let the woman enter the house, and he wants to be the only control group!" Xiao Zhao analyzed.
In the ghost story copy.
Chen Bin's idea is indeed as Xiao Zhao said.
Seeing that the door was about to be broken open, Chen Bin asked, "How much money do you make from delivering this takeaway?"
The woman in red outside the house heard this and stopped knocking. After a moment of silence, she said, "Four yuan per order."
"If the takeaway is overdue or lost, how much is the fine?" Chen Bin continued to ask when he saw that there was a chance.
"As long as the customer doesn't complain, it's fine." The woman in red said.
The so-called world of ghost stories is wrapped in a layer of horror by the weirdness, which makes many people ignore its underlying logic in the real world.
Chen Bin took out two hundred ghost money from the system and stuffed it out through the crack in the door.
"I won't complain about you, leave the takeaway, and you can go."
The woman in red looked down at the ghost money and said, "Mr. Chen, I have my own professional qualities and am a takeaway driver who abides by my duties."
Chen Bin understood when he heard this.
It's too little!
Chen Bin took out another thousand ghost money and stuffed it out through the crack in the door one by one.
What professional ethics, morality, isn't it? It's just that the price is not right. It's okay, I have money!
"Ahem." The woman in red coughed twice and said, "The customer is God. The job of the takeaway is to provide convenience to the customer instead of causing trouble."
Through the cat's eye, the woman in red said seriously, pocketed 1,200 yuan, put the takeaway at the door and left.
Chen Bin has also figured out how to use ghost money.
Unlike the real world, ghost money in the world of ghost stories is equivalent to increasing the weird favorability of a specific group.
So that they change their original behavior logic.
"Fuck, it's different with money!"
"Money is really omnipotent!"
"I think Brother Bin can add some money and let the woman in red come to the door for service."
"No, money is not omnipotent, uh... at least not in the world of ghost stories. It can only target specific people, such as my cousin, and you can't use ghost money to force him to do something."
"My cousin is still young and ignorant, heWhen you grow up, you will understand the importance of money. "
After making sure that the woman in red had left, Chen Bin successfully opened the door, took the takeaway, and returned to his room.
He did not let the woman in red in, nor did he let her meet and fight with his aunt.
[Ding, the host spent 1,200 yuan in ghost money and received a consumption cashback reward: Eye of Delusion Experience Card*1]
[Eye of Delusion Experience Card: After using it, the host can see the extent to which all people within the line of sight have been eroded by the weirdness]
Chen Bin did not expect that he did not choose the [Eye of Delusion] clearance reward, but actually got the experience card, which is not bad.
[Ding, the woman in red's favorability towards the host: love like the tide]
Chen Bin: "? ? ? "
"I just gave her 1,200 yuan, and she loves me like the tide? This is probably the person who has the highest favorability towards me so far. ”
[The red-dressed woman’s love for the host is very special. She will not take the initiative to hurt you, but she will definitely not provide any help to the host]
Hearing the system’s prompt, Chen Bin was even more puzzled.
“This is the first time I have met someone who has such a high degree of favorability towards me, but will not provide any help. Forget it, as long as she does not take the initiative to harm me, it will be enough. However, I ordered a week’s worth of food at once today, and I will not meet this woman in the future.”
“Hiss… I can’t tell. This red-dressed woman doesn’t look like a supporting role!”
In the kitchen, the aunt was still sharpening the kitchen knife strangely.
Chen Bin was not in a hurry to use the [Eye of Delusion Breaking]. It could only be used once, and wait until everyone was at dinner tomorrow to use it, so that he could see the whole family at once.
Back in the room, Chen Bin ate some fast food and prepared to rest, and suddenly a message came from his mobile phone.
Ding——
When he opened it, Chen Bin frowned.
“A message from my mother? ”
The message is as follows:
[Oh my God! I must be crazy, I am so stupid, I actually sent you to my aunt's house to live for a week, their family is ×××… Don't be afraid, my mother will definitely come back early to pick you up, before that you must survive!]
There is garbled text in the message, and the key sentences are blocked and cannot be seen clearly.
Then the mother sent another message.
[Before I come back early, you must pay attention to the following:]
[1: Don't let my aunt see you order takeout]
[2: If you see my aunt sharpening knives in the kitchen at night, be sure to lock the door]
[3: Aunt Wang lives next door to my aunt's house. She is my mother's classmate. Aunt Wang is the only person you can trust]
[4: Between midnight and 6 am, you can hide in the bedroom closet if you are in danger]
[5: Remember, my mother will not come back early, Aunt Wang is... Aunt Wang is... Aunt Wang is the only person you can trust!]
