Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 30 "Fake!"

Next to the kitchen counter.

Emma's fingers clenched around the cold knife, and the blade slid slowly along the edge of the can.

Whenever the bright red jam covered the tip of the knife, she would close her eyes slightly and lick the blade gently with the tip of her tongue, looking extremely enjoyable.

In her previous home, her father would always prevent her from touching these sharp objects, but in her new home, she seemed to have broken free from the constraints and could experience the fun without any restrictions.

However, this twisted pleasure did not last long.

A hand suddenly shot out and quickly snatched the knife from her hand.

Megan pointed the knife at Emma and said in a rare serious tone, "As a good girl, you should know how to protect yourself and others and stay away from potential dangers. If you want to eat anything, you can always tell me. But."

She paused, then looked at Emma in an almost scanning manner, then, without hesitation, she snatched the can from Emma's hand and threw it directly into the trash can.

"Your sugar intake today has seriously exceeded the limit. For the sake of health, high-sugar foods will be banned in the next 18 hours."

"restricted area?!"

Emma's brows were furrowed, and her dissatisfaction quickly escalated into anger. "You are just a robot sent by my uncle to take care of me. What right do you have to decide what I should do?!"

"Now, go get me another jar of jam from the refrigerator, Now!"

When Emma realized that the robot, which had always obeyed her, dared to disobey her, she immediately pointed at the refrigerator and screamed.

Facing all this, Megan just smiled and shook her head, "My duty is to protect your physical and mental health and safety. Any instructions that may cause harm to you will be automatically blocked by my program."

".freak!"

Emma glared at Megan for a long time, and when she found that she really had no reaction, she cursed inwardly unwillingly.

Just then, a burst of cursing from the upstairs bedroom broke the tense atmosphere in the kitchen.

"Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!"

Teddy ran down the stairs angrily, holding the cruelly severed head of the teddy bear!

After seeing this scene, Emma, ​​who originally had a gloomy expression, gradually curled up into a sneer.

"Who among you did this? How could you stuff such a bloody thing into my quilt!"

Teddy slammed the teddy bear's head directly on the table and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Don't deny it, there are only so few people in the family, there will be no one else except you!"

Megan picked up the teddy bear, scanned it, and shook her head. "No other fingerprints were found except yours. If someone didn't do this deliberately with gloves, then the only explanation is that you did it while sleepwalking."

"Walter? Sleepwalking?" Teddy looked confused. He didn't remember having this habit.

"Teddy, please allow me to remind you again," Megan said seriously, "Rango once told you not to swear in front of Emma. Your behavior is not good for the healthy physical and mental growth of your child."

"Shut up Meg!"

Teddy was in no mood to listen to this cyber housekeeper's nagging. He turned his gaze to Emma and asked tentatively, "Emma, ​​did you do this?"

Emma glanced at the teddy bear with only one head on the table and said coldly, "I never play with this kind of thing."

Teddy looked at Emma and saw that she looked calm and not guilty at all, which reduced his doubts.

"It's neither you nor Megan, could it be a ghost?!"

After Teddy finished complaining, he suddenly thought of something, picked up the teddy bear on the table, turned around and left, his short legs quickly alternating, and he didn't know where he went. Looking at his hurried figure, Emma asked in confusion: "Where is he going now?"

Megan smiled and didn't reveal any information. Instead, she picked up her schoolbag and reminded her, "The school bus will arrive in less than five minutes. Good girl, you should stand at the door now and wait for it to come quietly."

"."

Emma glanced at Megan, who had a programmed smile on her face, then silently put on her backpack and walked towards the gate.

She had made up her mind that when her uncle came back, she would make him lift all the restrictions that Megan had placed on her.

On the other side, Teddy hurried to the basement.

He just remembered that not only did he have ghosts in his house, but he also kept dozens of them and used them as power banks.

After opening the basement door, Teddy looked back and saw that Emma hadn't followed him. He immediately closed the door and shouted, "Come out, come out! Get out now!"

After a few seconds, there was no change in the basement, not even a ghost.

Teddy was even more upset when he saw this and said, "Don't blame me for not warning you. If you don't come out after I yell three times, I'll ask Rango to raise your rent!"

"1"

This time, as soon as he finished speaking, dozens of heads suddenly popped out from the wall, like specimens hanging on the wall, densely packed and creepy.

Teddy suppressed his nausea and raised the teddy bear's head to question, "Who of you did this? Damn it! You guys wanted to rebel as soon as Rango left, right?!"

Many earthbound spirits looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. When Rango left, he had warned them not to show up in the villa.

How could they have the courage to do such things when they are living under someone's roof?

Moira, the maid who was closest to Rango, said firmly: "We have not been out since Rango left. This was definitely not done by us."

"Dare you lie to me?"

Teddy didn't believe them at all and threatened them directly: "If you still don't admit it, then I can only ask Rango to double your rent. Twelve deposit and one payment? It sounds good."

As soon as these words were spoken, the earthbound spirits, who had only their heads exposed, instantly panicked, revealed their full forms, and filled the entire basement.

Their expressions were full of helplessness and pleading; some even knelt on the ground and swore to God that they had nothing to do with the matter.

After seeing this scene, Teddy felt a little bit sorry.

Seeing how miserable they looked, they certainly didn't look like the kind of people who could do such a thing.

"Then did you see who did it?" Teddy slowed down his tone and asked again.

The many earthbound spirits in front of me looked at each other, and there was no response for a long time.

Just when Teddy thought he was going to get nothing, a teenage earthbound spirit weakly raised his hand and said, "When I sneaked out for some fresh air last night, I happened to see Miss Emma holding an identical teddy bear toy in her bedroom. And..."

"And what?"

"She also stabbed the teddy bear repeatedly with a table knife, shouting fiercely: 'Get away from my uncle!'"

"Walter Falke?!"
