Chapter 067 How many sheep did we get today?

(Deduction begins!)

(You look toward your mother.)

(You: “Mom, how’s Grandma doing lately?”)

(Mother: "Grandma is in good health. Do you miss her?")

(You: "Today I heard from my neighbor that you left grandma in the hospital and didn't care about her anymore. She has to sleep in the hospital corridor.")

(Mother frowns, and father taps you on the head with chopsticks.)

(Father: "You don't even trust your own parents, but trust outsiders? ")

(You: “I heard…”)

(Father: "Stop talking. Do you think we are all heartless people?")

(The veins on my father's forehead were throbbing, and he seemed on the verge of exploding.)

(Don’t you dare continue to make your father angry. He has the ability to kill you in an instant, just like your mother.)

(The parents refused to admit it.)

(You don’t know whether your parents really didn’t do such a thing or they were just acting. Maybe the situation in the inner world and the outer world is different.)

(You steal a glance at your sister.)

(She is concentrating on a chicken thigh and doesn't seem to be paying attention to your conversation.)

(You: "Tomorrow is Sunday and we have a day off. Dad, do you still need to go to work?")

(Father: “Well, the company has been quite busy lately.”)

(You: “I want to go to the city with you…”)

(Parent: “You can’t go.”)

(Your parents speak in unison, and you almost drop your chopsticks in shock.)

(Father: "After your birthday, you can go out.")

(Why are you?")

(Father: “No reason!”)

(My father angrily knocked over the dining table, and all the food on the table fell to the ground.)

(Instead of blaming your father, your mother pointed fingers at you.)

(You terminated the game!)

Gu Yi sucked on his chopsticks, thinking silently.

His father's frustrated look at the end gave Gu Yi a bad impression.

Gu Yi had a vague feeling: his parents didn't let him go out, not because he would die if he went out, but because they would die if he went out.

The parents restricted their son's freedom because of their own interests.

"Brother, those are chopsticks, not chicken legs."

"Um?"

His sister interrupted Gu Yi's thoughts.

Gu Yi stared at his sister in a daze, then he realized that he had almost bitten the chopsticks off.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Are you feeling unwell? Is the food not to your liking?"

The parents put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time and looked at Gu Yi.

Gu Yi shook his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. I just remembered a math problem from this morning. I should have a better solution."

Gu Yi said this while concentrating on eating.

The concern expressed by my parents just now was genuine.

If they were really lying, then Gu Yi could only praise them for their excellent acting skills. Could it be that what grandma said was not trustworthy?

Gu Yi finished his dinner with a heavy heart and returned to his room. He took out his paper and pen and wrote new clues on the unsolved puzzle.

1. Is a seriously ill grandmother trustworthy?

2. The clue to leaving the other world may be with the father.

Squeak——

The door suddenly opened.

Gu Yi hurriedly crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it into the trash can.

"Brother, can I come in?"

My sister was wearing pajamas and looking at me through the crack in the door.

"Um, what's up?"

Gu Yi grinned.

At home, my sister may be the person I trust the most.

The younger sister walked into the bedroom with a frown on her face. She stood in front of Gu Yi and asked doubtfully, "Are you really my brother?"

"Why am I not?"

"You look so weird today."

"What's strange about that?"

"Everything is weird." My sister shook her head and said, "I feel like you've become a different person."

Gu Yi had a smile on his face, but his heart was beating fast.

He had been playing the role so well that even his parents hadn't noticed anything wrong, but he didn't expect his sister to notice something unusual.

This is enough to prove that the parents don't care about their son at all, and they are not even as sensitive as his sister.

"You think too much."

"Then why were you like that today? You didn't say a word at the dinner table and you were always in a daze. This is not like you."

"The college entrance examination is coming soon, and I feel a little nervous."

"is that so?"

"Yes, of course."

Gu Yi nodded seriously.

No matter what, my sister was just a third-grade elementary school student, so Gu Yi made up a reason and sent her away.

My sister looked at Gu Yi doubtfully, then turned and left the room.

Gu Yi turned his head and prepared to continue thinking about the puzzle, but heard a new prompt from the system.

"My sister has doubts about your identity."

"My sister's favorability towards you has decreased."

Gu Yi frowned slightly.

This unexpected reminder made Gu Yi's heart tighten.

The younger sister also possesses strange powers. If she knew that she was just an adventurer pretending to be her brother, would she tear herself into pieces?

"It's really troublesome. I have to figure out how to solve the puzzle while acting to please the kids?"

Gu Yi sat at the desk and thought for a moment.

At present, the clues he has obtained are still too few, and there is no way to advance the plot. Now all he can do is wait for the third day to come and see if the newly unlocked diary can give him more information.

The mother knocked on her door, indicating that it was time to go to bed.

Gu Yi nodded, washed up and went to bed.

A lot of things happened today. Gu Yi lay in bed, thinking about his grandmother's skinny appearance all the time, and couldn't fall asleep at all.

"Gu Yi...Gu Yi..."

The mother's voice called her.

Gu Yi subconsciously wanted to open his eyes, but suddenly remembered the instructions on the house rental contract.

So he pretended to be asleep and ignored it, and at the same time began to deduce silently.

(Deduction begins!)

(Mother called out twice more.)

(You hear the door close.)

(You jump out of bed and look through the crack in the door.)

(My parents are sitting in the living room, whispering to each other.)
