Chapter 294: Only the living can see the sun the next day
The sky was gradually getting darker. Lu Qing was lying on the wooden bed in her room, blinking as the light passing through the gap in the window gradually dimmed.
After feeling that the sky was almost dark, Lu Qing, who was lying on the bed, straightened up and changed from lying to sitting.
With her feet touching the ground and her knees straightened, she stood up, walked to the door of the room, and reached out to push the door open.
Arriving in front of her mother's room door during the day, Lu Qing did not feel the sense of danger coming from the darkness, unlike that time during the day.
After calming down, Lu Qing stood in front of the door, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes, opened the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered the house, Lu Qing smelled a faint fragrance. Her mother's room was similar to other rooms, there was not much difference.
The mother was not here at this time. Lu Qing looked at it and then found a piece of letter paper covered with a ballpoint pen on the desk in the room.
And that faint fragrance comes from this letter paper.
Taking away the ballpoint pen, Lu Qing opened the letter paper, which was filled with words.
[My dear child, when you see this letter, your other two brothers and sisters should be dead by now. Do not doubt that this is what I did.]
[Don’t have any doubts or doubts, please be patient and continue reading.]
[First of all, my dear children, you died a long time ago. You are all beings from hell. I think you should have felt the reaction caused by the rejection of the heart and body. 】
[That heart belongs to me, um... I want to say that I have five hearts, one of which was given to your father, and the remaining three hearts were given to me.
Dear children.】
[I rescued you and pretended to be an ordinary mother to live with you in this wooden house, but your father noticed something unusual. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally told him the truth. 】
[Unfortunately, he didn't seem to be able to accept the fact that I had turned into a monster. He just fainted from fright the first time he saw my true form. I was very sad, but I knew it was not his fault. After he woke up,
I continued to pretend to be a human and asked him to keep this matter a secret.】
[Your father agreed, but the next day, he committed suicide... But the good news is that he did not succeed in committing suicide, because my heart did not allow its host to die like this.
】
[I locked your father in the basement and told you that he went out hunting. I pretended that your father never came back after going hunting. I had thought about killing your father when he figured it out.
Let it go, but an accident happened.】
[My heart rejected your father, which caused your father to mutate, becoming stronger and attracting the attention of the mutated animals.]
[A mutated centipede smelled your father's scent. It actually ignored my breath and secretly dug a tunnel, got into the basement, and then took over your father's body. Fortunately, I arrived in time.
I couldn’t let it swallow my heart.]
【And now, that guy is already a corpse.】
[Oh, I seem to have digressed a little too much, let’s get back to the topic.]
[Although your father’s incident made me very angry, it made me realize a problem, which is rejection. If this problem is not solved, all my children, including you, will die. 】
[No, to be precise, I will die too. Because I am missing four hearts, my body has always been in a weak state. I cannot hold on like this for too long. I regret my impulse. The fear of death lingers.
On top of my head, so I plan to take back all my heart.】
[But after careful consideration, I plan to give you a chance. Yes, this opportunity is for you. I plan to conduct a test. 】
[This test is conducted on the three of you. I will select the individual who is most likely to survive in the dark forest from the three of you, then kill the other two, and finally tell the truth to the one who survives.
child.】
[And after knowing the truth, you can only have one choice...]
The handwriting broke off here. Lu Qing turned the letter over and found that there was another line of writing at the back.
[Aqing, come to me in the basement. Only the living can see the sun tomorrow.]
[Don’t try to escape, I can feel the position of all hearts.]
[Kill me, then eat all the hearts, and you won’t die...]
"..."
When Lu Qing looked at the letter left by her mother, her mood was as complicated as the artist's colorful canvas. All the clues were finally connected together, and Lu Qing finally understood what happened in her family.
Suddenly, the noticeboard vibrated and a new line of text appeared.
[Lu Qing was filled with complicated emotions when she saw the letter left by her mother. She knew that if she wanted to survive, she had to do what her mother said. In order to prevent her from escaping, her mother specifically threatened Lu Qing with death in the letter.
And left the hope of survival.]
[It is worth mentioning that the mother took action only after the heart rejection period of her brother and sister had reached, because the rejection of the heart and the body meant that the heart had begun to become weak due to the scarcity of energy. This was more convenient.
Take action.]
[In addition, there are also many lies on the front of this letter...]
"It's your uncle, you never finish what you say." Lu Qing read the text on the notice board and said a rare curse word. This is the first time. This notice board is exciting every time. It's really
It's too easy to make people angry.
After scolding the sign, Lu Qing analyzed it carefully.
First of all, things were similar to what she had guessed before. The corpse in the basement was indeed the corpse of the father in the background, and the heart was indeed installed for them by their mother.
The only thing Lu Qing didn't expect was that their hearts were actually their mother's hearts.
In the content of the dream itself, there is indeed no inevitable death scenario. As long as she can defeat her mother and devour all the hearts, she will not die of heart rejection.
But here comes the question, what is the method of swallowing the heart? Is it possible to bite it directly with your mouth?
Lu Qing couldn't help but shudder as she imagined holding a bright red heart in her hand and then putting it in her mouth.
That's a nightmare...
As for the test mentioned in the letter and what was said on the notice board, Lu Qing thought of something else.
The notice board said that when the heart enters the rejection period of the body, it means that the heart has entered a weak state due to long-term failure to keep up with nutrition. This is why the mother chose to do it at this time, so this so-called test
, could it be the lie that the sign said?
In fact, there are still many questions that remain unanswered. Since the mother’s goal is to recycle all the hearts, why didn’t she recycle the younger brother’s heart but keep it in his body?
Where was my sister at this time? If according to mother's statement, she should be dead at this time. Where is the body?
"Ah, forget it, just go to the basement to see mom!"
Lu Qing had a headache thinking about these questions. After thinking about them for a long time without making any progress, she simply stopped thinking about them.
After searching in the room for a while, Lu Qing quickly found the entrance to the basement. After lifting the lid above, there was a dark staircase underneath.
Lu Qing walked down the stairs slowly, not forgetting to close the lid at the basement entrance as she walked.
