That was Xiao Hei's fantasy, the crocodile's tears.
The moment his daughter jumped to her death, Xiao Hei wished he had jumped with her.
This thought turned into an obsession, and in the world of the anomaly, it became a loud noise.
The black cat is the incarnation of Xiao Hei's love, the incarnation of Xiao Hei's desire.
The instant Su Qingyu realized most of the truth, the dilapidated and broken houses all returned to their appearance on the first day.
Father, Mother, Younger Brother, and even Grandma, who had gone to the hospital, all stood neatly in front of Su Qingyu.
They didn't speak, just waved at Su Qingyu.
Everyone had a kind smile on their faces.
The main door opened, and unlike the darkness before, there was light outside.
The black cat squatted at the doorway playing with its tail; the light shone on it, and it turned to ash.
Su Qingyu met the S-class clearance standard, unraveled all the truths of the 【Sweet Home】 instance, and walked out of the one-star rule horror alive.
She stepped out of the house.
Su Qingyu discovered a black leather backpack leaning against her feet.
She opened the backpack and searched through it.
A familiar tablet computer.
100 Underworld currency.
And, a note.
According to the content in the novel 《Thriller Descends》, Su Qingyu knew that after clearing an instance, there would usually be rewards.
This black backpack was similar to a beginner's package reward.
Shouldering the backpack, Su Qingyu asked Shuangxi, "How much Underworld currency do you need to go to the hospital? I'll reimburse you."
If Shuangxi wasn't treated in time, Shuangxi's Tribute Card would shatter.
Su Qingyu didn't have many Paper Figurine Tribute Cards, and she didn't want to lose Shuangxi, a reliable helper.
"Master, I can't go to the hospital for treatment right now." Shuangxi shook her head, raised her arm, and pointed at the pitch-black corridor, "That is the only way out. If you go that way, Master will enter a new rule horror."
"Then go back into your Tribute Card and rest."
For the new anomaly, Su Qingyu didn't plan to use Shuangxi again.
Shuangxi nodded, turned into white smoke, and entered the already cracked blank card.
Next, Su Qingyu unfolded that "Mom's Note."
The note contained handwritten text:
Child, this is your first time leaving home, and Mom is very worried because a murderer sneaked into this building not long ago.
You have to grow up, and I can't keep you at home forever. To ensure you can travel safely, Mom wants to remind you of a few things. Please keep them in mind.
【1. If you are scared, you can come home. As long as you come home, you will forever be Mom's good daughter, and Mom will protect you for life.】
【2. If you insist on leaving, Mom will support you. Remember, do not believe the words of unfamiliar residents, and do not go to their homes as a guest.】
【3. Mom is a full-time homemaker. You will not meet Mom outside. Dad will go out to work. If you get lost and meet Dad, you can ask him for directions. Please distinguish which person is your father.】
【4. Our property management company only knows how to collect money; they never do any work and never manage the floors.】
【5. The security guards are nice people. They do not belong to the property management; they are hired personnel. If you have any problems, you can ask them for help, and they will be happy to assist you.】
【6. If you encounter danger, find the police. The police phone number is 65321.】
The note listed six rules.
Su Qingyu put her mother's note into her pocket. The time displayed on her watch was 9 AM.
There was an exam from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM today.
Su Qingyu decided not to enter a new rule for the time being.
She sat on the ground, at the transition point between the two rules, waiting for the exam.
At noon, she spent 2000 Underworld currency to order fried chicken from the Ming Bao App.
At 4:30 PM, the exam began.
Clicking on the online class software on the tablet, the entire computer screen went black.
This exam was a computer-based test.
In the center of the screen, yellow numbers appeared; it was a one-hour countdown.
As the countdown began, the numbers shrank to the upper left corner of the screen.
The exam consisted of sixty multiple-choice questions and four essay questions.
The multiple-choice questions were divided into thirty single-choice questions, each worth one point.
Fifteen multiple-choice questions, each worth two points.
Four essay questions, each worth ten points.
Even more terrifying was that all the text above was in a strange language.
Su Qingyu had already left the 【Sweet Home】 instance; the notes she recorded in the instance could not be taken with her.
Even if she had concentrated intensely and listened carefully these past few days, it would have been impossible to become proficient in understanding the strange language in such a short time.
Time ticked by second by second.
Su Qingyu took out a Tribute Card.
This Tribute Card depicted a stern-faced young man, seven feet eight inches tall, as thin and tall as bamboo, wearing a dark robe, and with a precious sword at his waist.
A line of small print on the back of the card read: Use a finger or pay 100 Underworld currency.
Su Qingyu threw out 100 Underworld currency and the Tribute Card simultaneously.
With a puff of white smoke, the man from the card appeared.
A youth with black hair, black eyes, and pale, ghostly skin, with a huge hole in his chest.
His right hand was made of white bone, and his left hand was flesh and blood.
"What is your name?"
The youth pointed at the empty space where his heart should be, "My name is Wuxin."
If one approached the empty space near his heart, the sound of whistling wind could be heard.
"Why don't you have a heart?"
"I was originally the young general of the Shen family. Because I was suspected by the Emperor, my surname was stripped, and I died with my heart gouged out."
"Can you read?"
The youth nodded.
"Very good, help me fill out this exam paper."
The youth extended his right hand, which was made of white bone, "Master, give me your heart, and I will help you."
Tribute Cards were divided into white, green, blue, gold, and red.
Wuxin's and Shuangxi's Tribute Cards were different. Shuangxi's card was white, while Wuxin's card was gold.
Su Qingyu could feel that Wuxin was a powerful anomaly.
"Can it be replaced with Underworld currency?"
Wuxin's fingers twitched. "Do you have ten thousand Underworld currency, Master?"
Although Wuxin's face was expressionless, Su Qingyu felt she heard contempt in his words.
Su Qingyu remembered when she first asked Shuangxi if anomalies had emotions, Shuangxi's answer was uncertain.
Wuxin slightly raised his chin. His eyes were black, with no white pupils.
"Master, you should be glad we didn't meet in an instance, otherwise, you would surely die."
Indeed, there were many joys with chuunibyou anomalies.
Su Qingyu directly took out her Heaven and Earth Bank Card and mentally withdrew ten thousand Underworld currency.
A stack of Underworld currency landed in Wuxin's hand, which was all that remained of his right arm. Wuxin began to look at the questions on the tablet as Su Qingyu wished.
"Master, I am good at ancient literature, not mental arithmetic."
The subtext of this statement was that he could help Su Qingyu fill out the exam paper, but he couldn't guarantee its accuracy.
This was simply a rip-off!
Su Qingyu put her forehead in her hand, "Then help me translate the questions, and I'll do the writing myself."
She still had to rely on herself.
Thus, for the next hour, Wuxin was responsible for translating the strange language, and Su Qingyu was responsible for solving the problems.
Wuxin would then convert the answers into the strange language and fill them into the exam paper.
"Master..."
"Hmm?"
"This is not an instance. Why are you answering questions?"
