Chapter 326 How’s the food for tonight?
"Maki, what toy do you want to play with?" Shen Dinghai suppressed his mixed emotions and forced a he had to die no matter what, he would rather his death come later, no matter what kind of struggle it required.
Mako's eyes lit up when he heard that, "So you guys are willing to play with me!"
Before Shen Dinghai could respond, Mako had already jumped off the sofa and ran towards her bedroom with cheerful steps.
In the second room in the corridor, with Mako's action, the door was opened a crack. Shen Dinghai stared at it for a moment, but was stunned by the decoration style of the room.
It doesn't fit Mako's image of an innocent and pure little princess at all. There is no fantasy or doll, but a large area of black and red, as if it were paved with blood, which would become oxidized and dark after a long time.
Shen Dinghai stood up in a flash. He suppressed his fear and said, "Zhenzi, let me help you! In case there are too many toys for you to carry by yourself."
Mako was not tall enough, and her hands were still hanging on the door handle. Hearing this, she turned around and looked at Shen Dinghai deeply, which made him feel uneasy.
This is so abnormal, there must be clues! So Shen Dinghai has to go, even if he is scared to the point of shaking legs!
Mako pushed open the door slowly and without making any sound, exposing most of the scene in the room to Shen Dinghai, as if opening a door to a dark world for him.
"Big brother, do you want to come into the room with me?"
Mako stood at the door waiting for Shen Dinghai, with only him in her clear eyes.
Shen Dinghai broke out in a cold sweat and didn't feel happy at all. Under normal circumstances, he would have boasted that he was popular among children, but now he was in a horror cave!
There are no children in the horror cave, they are more like little monsters!
Her dad just turned into a big purple balloon. I don’t know what color balloon she will turn into when she opens her mouth…haha…
While Shen Dinghai was preparing himself mentally, he moved slowly, as if the messenger from the underworld was standing in front of him.
Mako's brows furrowed again, "Big brother, are you reluctant?"
Shen Dinghai was startled when he heard this and laughed, "No way! I'm just a little curious, what on earth do you like, Zhenzi..."
Mako had a pair of bright eyes. "I like dolls. The prettier they are, the better. The more clothes they have, the better."
Shen Dinghai was even more frightened, and his voice was a little shaky as soon as he spoke, "Do you like dolls... But I don't see any dolls in your room..."
Mako actually said, "Where's my doll?"
"I used to have a lot of dolls, they were very, very beautiful. If the dolls I bought weren't beautiful enough, my mother would make prettier ones for me. If the dolls didn't have enough clothes, my mother would also make prettier ones for me."
Shen Dinghai was stunned. He realized that he could get clues without entering the gloomy and scary room in front of him!
"Your mother is so nice, but why did she leave?"
Mako had asked her father before, when her mother would come back, so the probability of Mako's mother passing away is relatively small.
Of course, there are also those who lie about traveling far away in order to help their children better accept the death of their loved ones, but Mako is still a seven or eight-year-old child, and her ability to accept is still good, so it shouldn't be that...
As soon as Mako mentioned her mother, tears welled up in her eyes. Her answer made Shen Dinghai's heart skip a beat.
"Dad said Mom went to a very far place and it will take a long time for her to come back."
It really is such a low probability event!
Wouldn't that mean the clue is broken? But Shen Dinghai thought again, the death of Zhenzi's mother is not the end of the story, we can still explore why she died. Generally, in horror movies, the cause of death of the deceased is very important. In an instant, Shen Dinghai's mind was full of possibilities: death from illness? Suicide? Or murder?
It is not a good idea to ask a child this kind of question. After all, Mako was kept in the dark about her mother’s death, so she certainly doesn’t know more details.
When Shen Dinghai was about to ask for other clues, the sinister voice of Mako's father sounded again.
"Guest, dinner is ready. I hope you won't mess around with Mako anymore."
Shen Dinghai didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He was of course relieved that he didn't have to enter Zhenzi's bedroom, but when he thought about having to face the huge purple balloon again, Shen Dinghai felt his scalp tingling.
He turned around and said cheerfully, "You misunderstood me. I was just kidding. Mako wanted to play with the toy and I came with her to get it."
Mako nodded, and Mako's father's expression immediately improved a lot.
"That's good. You can bully anyone in this family, but you must never bully Mako."
Mako's father smiled and said, "Guest, please take a seat."
Shen Dinghai just turned into the restaurant and walked to the long dining table. He already saw Yangguang and Xiaonu sitting upright at their seats, but...
Their faces were pale, even their lips were bloodless, and drops of cold sweat were sliding down their foreheads.
Shen Dinghai suppressed his surprise, and the moment he approached the dining table he understood why they had such expressions.
The long dining table was nearly seven or eight meters long, covered with a white tablecloth and evenly placed with silver candlesticks. There were four chairs on each side of the table, and some seats had exquisite porcelain tableware in front of them.
The restaurant is only a few steps away from the living room. Shen Dinghai had seen the restaurant shortly after he entered the door. At that time, the dining table was empty and it looked clean at first glance. But now it is filled with dishes like a Manchu Han banquet...
You know, it only took a few words for Zhenzi's father to leave the living room and go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Shen Dinghai hadn't even started chatting with Zhenzi yet. How could Zhenzi's father prepare so many dishes in such a short time? The most important thing is those dishes...
These are not for human consumption!
Shen Dinghai suppressed his shock and glanced calmly at the contents of the plate.
……
Shen Dinghai just took a glance and felt his soul fly away. It was no wonder that Yangguang and Xiaonu looked like that, because they were forced to sit at the dining table and stare at her.
Shen Dinghai pulled out the chair stiffly and sat down like a zombie.
Mako's father looked at him with a smile on his face, "Are the guests satisfied with the dinner dishes?"
Shen Dinghai's mind was struggling fiercely. He had to behave like a normal person, but he couldn't point out the murder facts of Zhenzi's father in order to avoid triggering his taboo of killing...
How to answer this question???
Before Shen Dinghai could answer, the smile on Mako's father's face became increasingly twisted and perverted.
"Your two companions were full of praise for my cooking skills!"
Cooking skills?! Where does cooking skills come from? Does it refer to whether the knife is sharp or fast?!
Shen Dinghai looked pale, holding back his fear, and glanced at the table again, "They are both very polite people, haha... I can only comment on their cooking skills after tasting them, now..."
"All I can see is that your cutting skills are pretty good!"
