Chapter 323 Three Questions: Do you want to have snacks?
There was something wrong with Mako's father, no doubt about having come to a place like the Horror Cave, and stopping just because of the danger... is somewhat lacking in initiative.
So the final result was that the four of them sat together in the living room with Mako and Mako's father, neatly arranged.
The environment inside was very normal, not shrouded in darkness like what Ranran and the others saw outside.
Ran Ran therefore guessed that in the horror cave, the existence of the door was a medium similar to a converter, dividing the inside and the outside into two different appearances, but...
Soon she thought of the danger she encountered in the coffee shop, and the space inside actually turned into the same appearance as the outside, a sea of blood red.
So it is not a converter, but a kind of sleight of hand.
The doorkeeper disguises the world inside the door as peaceful, but the scene seen from outside the door is the real thing!
Darkness is the real thing!
Ranran sat on the soft sofa. The evening light passed through the clear glass windows, casting a warm yellow hue on the entire living room.
It was clearly a comfortable scene, but because of that guess, Ran Ran only felt that the temperature around him dropped by several degrees, and silent black seemed to be hidden in this space.
She turned her head and looked around, "Where is the little brother from before?"
The man said in an unhappy tone, “He was disobedient and I locked him in the room.”
Disobedient? What is the specific behavior? And then... this man seems to treat his two children very differently...
Ran Ran blinked her eyes and said, "I think that little brother is quite obedient. When I was his age, I always made people around me angry. He is much more obedient than me."
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she seemed to want to agree with Ranran's words.
The man looked at Ran Ran angrily, "He disobeyed my wishes. Can a child who disobeys his father's wishes be considered obedient?!"
"I just locked him up. The punishment is already very light."
"So what does it mean to disobey you?" Ran Ran was full of curiosity, "I really want to know."
The man's face darkened as he yelled at Xiaonv, "You're a mother and you didn't say a word. No wonder you raised your child like this!"
The laughing girl was surprised and confused.
The surprise was that the man always pointed the finger at her. This man seemed to insist that she was Ranran's mother, and an irresponsible mother at that. So she could not easily fight against this identity, otherwise it would be dangerous.
She was at a loss because she really didn't know what to do.
Ranran's various reactions have completely disrupted her plans. Does she really have to be so cruel as to... kill everyone?
Ran Ran was completely unaware of all this. She turned her head and glanced at the sky. "It seems that it will be time for dinner soon. Uncle, how long do you plan to keep him locked up? Will he have dinner?"
"There used to be..." The man stared at Ran Ran and smiled sinisterly, "Now there is no more."
"all because of you."
Ran Ran was silent for a moment. As expected, even if we put aside everything we knew about the horror cave, just this warm and beautiful house and this man who looked like a bad person...
When the two are connected together, you can tell something is wrong. This sense of incongruity is clearly something wrong.
"If you don't want to feed him, then don't feed him. Just say no. It's none of my business. If you insist on giving your son dinner, can I stop you?"
Ran Ran blinked her innocent big eyes as she spoke, and this sentence that sounded extremely provocative turned into a sincere question from a child with her expression.
But even so, Shen Dinghai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Yang Guang was the same. He looked at Ran Ran with even more admiration, as if Ran Ran was a role model he wanted to learn from for the rest of his life.
The man actually ignored Ran Ran, put the tea set on the coffee table, and spoke almost in a friendly manner.
"Tea and snacks, everyone, please have some."
Ah...ah? Why is this turn so abrupt? Ran Ran looked at Shen Dinghai and saw that he had the same expression as her.
Shen Dinghai whispered to Ranran, "It feels like an NPC in a game is forcing the process forward without regard for logic." Ranran suddenly realized that his nephew's description was so accurate.
In order to verify her guess, she tried again and asked an irrelevant question.
"Uncle, what food have you prepared for dinner today?"
But the man still looked at her with a kind smile, "Little friend, don't you like snacks? Zhenzi really likes these exquisite snacks."
As expected, the reaction was still the same... Just like what the second nephew said, Mako's father seemed to be forcing his way into the next stage, and even his negative attitude towards her seemed to be cleared, making a 180-degree turn.
How much he hated her before, but now he can talk to her in a friendly manner?
So Mako's father is not actually a being with independent consciousness?
Just like the other humanoid monsters in the moth road, he can only react passively to the outside world, but he has a fixed process to follow, unlike those monsters who can only react simply, just like...
There is a script that requires him to perform personally.
The corresponding plot of the scene he performed at the door before was to prevent humans from entering the house.
Ran Ran understood a little bit. They had entered a script-killing game where they would really die. To survive the horror cave or make it disappear, they needed to grasp the key behind the script.
Unfortunately, Ran Ran didn't know anything about script-killing. He just heard Shen Dinghai mention it a few times. He wanted to take Ran Ran to experience some entertainment down the mountain when they were both free, but he didn't expect...
The horror cave is coming, and a more "hardcore" script-killing game appears.
Since Mako's father's agency was limited to this extent, Ranran guessed that he must not be the key to the existence of this horror cave.
She didn't want to waste her energy on him anymore, and her attention should be turned to the two children, or even the mother who had never appeared in this family.
In front of everyone, Ranran asked without any hesitation.
"Machiko, please tell me more about your mother. I haven't seen my mother for a long time."
Zhenzi, who had always been friendly to Ranran, did not respond. She just sat quietly on the sofa, like a doll with empty eyes.
Mako's father's smile froze because Ranran didn't answer him at all. He picked up the tray with exquisite snacks from the coffee table, walked in front of Ranran, and looked down at her.
The smile on his face became strange and distorted because it was forced.
"I'll ask you one last time, little boy, do you want some snacks?"
In an instant, the nerve in Ranran's brain that sensed danger exploded like a broken rubber band.
Danger!
Ran Ran met the man's eyes. She could almost foresee that if she rejected the man's third question with silence or direct words, something very bad would happen, but...
She wants to give it a try!
After all, isn't their mission in the Horror Cave to explore?
Even if you are playing a script-killing game, you have to explore every branch line thoroughly! It is not enough to just win, you have to win thoroughly!
Ran Ran suddenly stood up and knocked over the tray in the man's hand.
The exquisite snacks were scattered all over the floor. The tray in front of him was held steady by the man, but it was too late. He was very angry.
Anyone with eyes could see that he was angry.
Ran Ran blinked and said indifferently.
"Oops, sorry, I accidentally knocked it over."
The man's face suddenly turned from red to purple, and in the blink of an eye it swelled up like a blown-up balloon!
Ranran nodded in her heart.
It is indeed a monster. How could a normal person’s face look like this?
