People who lose their husbands often know that...
After the husband dies, you can inherit the inheritance!
It just so happened that seven days ago, Yun Zhi's husband Xie Huaijin suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in the dead of night, dying unexpectedly.
Good news: Yun Zhi inherited the inheritance from her deceased husband.
Bad news: The inheritance was a bank card that read 【Heaven and Earth Bank】.
Haha, her husband really had a sense of humor, huh (laugh).
Just as Yun Zhi was ready to sneakily carry a hoe to the graveyard tonight, dig up Xie Huaijin, and whip his corpse a few times, a line of blood-red characters suddenly appeared before her eyes.
【Sinister Game has loaded into the Blue Star world, new player Yun Zhi is being bound...】
The next second after the text appeared, Yun Zhi found herself in a different place, only still clutching the black bank card Xie Huaijin had left her.
"What's going on?" Yun Zhi looked around in confusion, then casually tucked the bank card—which she still inexplicably held—into her clothes.
"Could it be that that bastard Xie Huaijin knew I was planning to dig him up and whip his corpse, and got upset enough to drag me down to the underworld?"
Yun Zhi's materialistic worldview, held for over twenty years, began to totter.
At least her sudden appearance here definitely couldn't be explained by science.
Just as Yun Zhi was confused, a black pop-up window appeared before her, with black background and red text, looking somewhat sinister.
【Newbie World Loaded】
【Instance Name: Happy Housewife】
【Instance Difficulty: One Star】
【Player Identity: Housewife】
【Instance Mission: Survive Seven Days】
【You are a happy housewife. You never go out. Every day you take care of everything at home, keep the house tidy, prepare delicious meals, and wait for your husband to come home...】
Please note: You love your husband very much, and your husband loves you very much too】
"Sinister Game?" Yun Zhi looked closely at the content on the black pop-up window, memorizing all the information.
Her beautiful face showed a look of focused seriousness.
At the same time, a platform called 【Sinister Game Live Stream】 suddenly appeared forcibly on many people's phones.
Numerous livestream rooms quietly opened on it.
【What is this software? Why did it suddenly appear on my phone?】
【What Sinister Game livestream? It's just sensationalist nonsense! They need to crack down on this garbage virus software】
【The one before didn't see the latest news? This is real. Many people have suddenly disappeared, and it's said that unknown foreign magnetic fields have been detected in many areas worldwide】
【I can testify. I was at work, and a colleague next to me suddenly vanished】
【The Sinister Game is real. I saw in another livestream room that a player was eaten by a Ghoul. It was so bloody】
【Have you read any novels about rule creepypasta? This is that kind of situation】
【Wow, this streamer is really beautiful】
【What's the use of being pretty? A solo instance can't let others help you. It's not like the Ghoul will let her off just because she's good-looking】
Yun Zhi didn't know that as soon as she entered the instance, she was already being watched by many spectators who hadn't yet joined the Sinister Game, even being sentenced to death.
At this moment, the black pop-up window before her had disappeared. Yun Zhi stood up from the sofa to inspect the situation inside the house.
This was the home of her and her "husband" in the game.
The house wasn't big, a standard three-bedroom, two-living-room layout. The living room was quite spacious. When Yun Zhi first entered the instance, she was sitting on the living room sofa.
The entire living room was decorated very warmly. The floral-patterned sofa cover on the back of the couch and the small green plants placed around the room all showed that the "housewife" herself was someone who especially loved life.
There seemed to be a faint incense in the room, but Yun Zhi always felt there was a strange smell of blood mixed in with the fragrance.
She frowned and began to search for the source of the blood smell, finally stopping in front of the closed bathroom door.
The bathroom door pushed open. The light inside flickered on and off. From the toilet, scarlet blood slowly seeped out, spreading toward Yun Zhi's feet.
【Oh my god, is that blood? The Ghoul appeared so fast...】
【Based on my years of experience watching horror movies, a jump scare is coming next】
【I suggest the streamer avoid it first. Isn't the mission to be a happy housewife? Just pretend you didn't see it】
【Whoa, how dare she walk in? Does she not want to live?】
【Just mindless suicide tactics. Boring, not watching anymore】
Because of the terrifying scene, the bullet comments in the livestream room increased noticeably, but most of them criticized Yun Zhi's decision to enter the bathroom.
However, Yun Zhi didn't show the terrified, tearful expression that the bullet comments expected.
Instead, the bloody sight made her even calmer.
She blinked, glimpsed a mop nearby, and casually grabbed it to mop up the blood on the floor.
"What's going on? The floor is so dirty. This won't do. My husband will be angry if he sees it when he comes back," Yun Zhi frowned as she mopped.
After mopping around the toilet, Yun Zhi finally saw a large clump of black hair inside the toilet bowl.
The hair seemed to sense someone's presence and slowly turned its head, but it only turned halfway.
"Splat——"
Yun Zhi shoved the mop forcefully onto the hair: "Honestly, so filthy! It must be the upstairs neighbors not being clean!"
The big clump of hair was washed away down the drain pipe, and the toilet finally stopped oozing blood.
The Ghoul that was flushed away: ...Damn, where did this crazy woman come from?!
After a brief silence, the audience in the bullet comments suddenly flooded with 【Awesome!】
【Where are those who said she was doomed? Get owned】
【What's going on? The way she seriously cleans almost makes me want to call her "Wife"】
【Are you crazy? Tell me, is this cleaning legitimate?】
【Ghoul: Speak up for me!】
After finishing cleaning the bathroom, Yun Zhi finally smiled with satisfaction.
"I think I'm playing the housewife pretty well, right?" She admired herself in the mirror.
After all, when she first entered the instance, the black pop-up window had already prompted that as a housewife, she never goes out and needs to keep the house tidy and prepare delicious meals.
"Following the rules definitely won't go wrong. That way, at least I can stay alive," Yun Zhi judged calmly, her expression unchanged.
As if she hadn't been affected at all by the bloody scene just now.
【The streamer is right. When entering an instance, you have to follow the rules. If she had ignored it, she would definitely have died later for not matching the character setting】
【Traps are everywhere right from the start of the instance. How is anyone supposed to survive? And you have to survive seven days in this instance】
【There must be an Instance Boss too】
【Looks like the boss in this instance should be the "husband," right?】
While the bullet comments were discussing, Yun Zhi had already gone to the kitchen to prepare tonight's dinner. Fortunately, the ingredients in the kitchen were all normal, so she easily stir-fried two dishes she liked.
As a former Working Emperor, Yun Zhi had worked as a kitchen helper in a hotel and carried corpses at a funeral home—these tasks were nothing to her.
At six o'clock sharp, the dinner was ready, and the front door of the house opened at the same time.
Yun Zhi looked over at the sound. The tall figure of a man stood silhouetted against the light in the doorway. She could make out his handsome features and those deep, mysterious eyes like a cold pool.
Their eyes met, and Yun Zhi blurted out: "Husband, you're back?"
【Oh my god, such a handsome man! I'm drooling all over】
【If a Ghoul is this handsome, I might actually be okay with it】
【Get a grip, no matter how handsome, a Ghoul still eats people】
【Wait, am I the only one who thinks our Zhi Jie's "husband" sounded way too natural?】
【Yeah, it seemed to slip out. She's not being seduced by good looks, is she?】
【Zhi Jie, don't be fooled!】
If Yun Zhi could see the bullet comments, she would definitely answer their questions.
Because the man before her really was her husband——
Her deceased husband Xie Huaijin, who had just died seven days ago and whose funeral she had just attended!
