I'm a mentally ill person, and I was chosen to participate in the Rules of the Strange Tales.

"Yes, Grandpa has always needed someone to take care of him, it's so good that you could come."

[By the way? I remember Nohara Shinnosuke was very restrained around his family, right?]

Upon seeing this comment, everyone fell silent.

It goes beyond mere restraint; Shin-chan almost caused Misae to go through menopause early.

Hello, first of all, thank you all for your support. I'll bow in thanks.

Please take a look and try it out. If you don't like the style below, please let me know so I can make changes (don't worry about bothering the author, making changes isn't a big deal).

However, since everyone has already read this far, it proves that their mental strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, so my reminder seems unnecessary.

P.S.: Just a quick question: Do you prefer lighthearted and fun shows like Patrick Star and Crayon Shin-chan, or do you prefer shows like Detective Dee and Conan that require deduction?

Chapter 25 The Grandfather on His Deathbed?

It must be said that apart from being a bit remote, this village is incredibly comfortable in terms of both scenery and air quality.

Walking was too boring, so Shinnosuke voluntarily relinquished control, letting Jiang Xiao take over again.

The houses in the village are not close together; it takes about two minutes to walk between the two closest houses.

Strange layout~

After walking for about ten minutes, Jiang Xiao was led by three little girls to a small red brick building.

Jiang Xiao pushed open the wooden door, and what came into view was a simple and rustic rural hall.

"you are back!"

"Dad, you should have said 'I'm home' instead."

Bai Yi corrected her father's grammatical error once again.

I looked around at the surroundings.

Cement floor, whitewashed walls.

There were still some dark gray old oil stains on the wall, and a Great Wall brand ceiling fan covered in dust was hanging overhead.

The furnishings inside the hall are even simpler.

A wooden dining table, several wooden stools, and some rice and flour piled up in the corner.

Oh, and there was also a CRT TV and a Subor game console.

It was already lunchtime.

Jiang Xiao could hear clattering sounds and the fragrant smell of cooking oil coming from the kitchen.

Hearing the commotion outside, a somewhat cold woman's voice came from the kitchen.

"Xiaoyi, is Dad back? Dinner will be ready soon. Go boil some water."

"Yeah! But Xitang and Shishi are trying to take my dad away from me!"

"It's okay, you are all my good daughters. There's no question of fighting over you. Taking one is the same as taking three."

Jiang Xiao was a little confused. Was this some kind of strange rule?

The viewers in the live chat also began to question the game's difficulty.

Wait a minute, the art style is so harmonious?

[It's not quite the eerie scene I imagined.]

[Yes, I thought the first one would be one of those eerie old houses or strange villas.]

[Yes, yes, yes! Then there are human arms and legs in the kitchen, the whole family has deathly pale faces, and finally there are memorial tablets in the living room—that's what a ghost story should be like!]

[Uh, you can't just look at the surface! Have you forgotten how the chosen ones from India, who only looked at the surface, died?]

Also.

Don't be fooled by appearances; after all, it's Seven Star Ghost Tales, it can't be that superficial.

"Dad! Why don't you go upstairs and give Grandpa his medicine?"

"Grandpa lives in the outermost room on the second floor. Daddy, don't go into the other rooms!"

Shi Shi handed Jiang Xiao some medicine bottles, each labeled with the number of pills for each type.

Why didn't Shi Shi go and give Grandpa his medicine?

Jiang Xiao didn't want to go and wanted to pass the job on to someone else.

Unexpectedly, the expressions of the three little girls changed instantly after these words were spoken.

Jiang Xiao actually detected resistance and fear in their eyes.

This grandpa is probably no good.

Only a stronger version of the supernatural can truly frighten it.

Rule 1: You will play the role of a dutiful father, and you will fulfill all your child's requests.

"Is the reason that Shi Shi doesn't like Grandpa enough?"

"Bai Yi hates Grandpa, does Daddy want Bai Yi to hate him too?"

"Dad, Xitang doesn't want to kill you yet. I hope you'll listen to me."

Do you dislike your grandfather?

The sounds from the kitchen changed, becoming hoarse and muffled.

"Xiaoyi! Is your new dad being naughty again? How about we change our dinner to include Dad?"

"Haha, my dear wife, I was just teasing Shi Shi, I just can't do anything with you~"

Jiang Xiao took the medicine bottle from Shi Shi and went upstairs to the second floor.

The little girl's expression then returned to its original sweetness.

This perfectly illustrates what it means to change your mind faster than turning the pages of a book.

But apart from Jiang Xiao, there really wasn't any other chosen one who would dare to refuse their children's requests.

[I feel like if Jiang Xiao and the little girl hadn't had such a high level of affection, they might have just died.]

[Yes, this time the little girl even explained it to him. You know, those who were ignorant before were just choked.]

That's true. It seems this game needs to improve its relationship with these kids.

People from other countries who were watching the live stream in China immediately reported the news.

"What?! Is that even possible? To increase your relationship with the child? I'll search to the death."

The Prime Minister of Japan stroked his chin, debating whether or not to reveal the news to Umekawa Naikura.

For this reason, a large number of members of parliament in Sakura Province said that this news could be temporarily withheld.

We'll share it all together when we receive other valuable information next time.

The Prime Minister thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Anyway, Mei Chuan Neiku has the Five Limbs Substitute Death Technique, so it doesn't matter if he gets killed once.

It's better to wait until next time and deliver both messages together to maximize benefits!

Many countries have chosen the same approach as Japan, believing that the news is not very important.

Of course, some countries immediately passed this message on to their chosen ones.

Many of the chosen ones were completely baffled when they received this news.

What are you talking about?

How can I improve my likability with these children?

Even seeing these strange children made my heart clench with fear!

You want me to improve my relationship with him?!

Even those chosen ones who know this news can only act according to circumstances.

The most important thing right now is to survive!

At this moment, Jiang Xiao had already arrived at the door of the outermost room on the second floor.

‘Dong dong dong~’

I knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

"Dad, I've brought you your medicine."

There was a long silence inside.

‘Dong dong dong~’

There was still no response.

Holy crap, what are you trying to prove with that aloof attitude?

Jiang Xiao pushed the door open and went inside.
