Chapter 769: A Family Dinner

So, do I really want to hack someone?

Dorothy looked at these two monsters with animal faces and human bodies. She looked terrified and shivering on the surface, while in her heart she was thinking about this problem.

Don't look at the appearance of these two monsters as quite bluffing, but she had just observed their walking posture and habits. And judging the target's strength intensity from these small details revealed unintentionally during action is the basic skill of a martial artist.

Hmm, it's really a basic skill. Dorothy had already mastered this skill proficiently before crossing.

Therefore, from the walking posture of these two monsters with loose lower plates and floating footsteps, Dorothy basically judged that these were two noobs.

They might have strength and speed far beyond ordinary people, but at least in terms of technique, there is nothing worth praising.

Just like the novice village boss in the game, maybe the attack power is quite high, and the newcomer might go directly gg after eating two hits, but the moves are fixed and the routines are rigid. As long as you are familiar with the skills, it is easy to clear the level without injury.

Therefore, if these two monsters were for an ordinary little girl, they might indeed be difficult to defeat, but if measured from the angle of numerical strength, this has not really reached the level of being absolutely invincible.

Dorothy was just struggling with whether to directly lift the axe to hack this pair of monsters according to the subtext described in the letter, and then set fire to the wooden house, completing the final "exorcism" ceremony.

This should undoubtedly be the correct clearance process, and the difficulty is how to subdue these two monsters with the body of a weak little girl.

It's just that Dorothy was not very willing to follow this process.

After all, according to the description in the letter, these two monsters in front of her are her "parents."

Then, do "I" really want to accept this "filial" fate?

This is the point Dorothy is struggling with.

Of course, whether it is from the description in the letter just now or from the words and deeds of these two monsters in front of her, this pair of parents are definitely scumbags, the kind that deserve to die.

Dorothy didn't have a soft heart to the point of not being able to make a move on such scumbags.

She just felt a little bit sorry for this little girl she was playing, this quite good and strong little girl shouldn't bear this kind of sin.

After all, no matter how normal a person is, once they bear the sin of killing their relatives, their future fate is basically destined to fall straight into the abyss.

These two scumbags can die, but it shouldn't be "me" who does it.

Dorothy thought about it and finally made up her mind.

Although she didn't know if not following the game prompts would cause any plot changes and then increase the game difficulty, it didn't matter. She was just happy herself.

Dorothy was never a person who liked to take the usual path. She hated being arranged by others to act the most. She only wanted to do what she wanted to do.

Then, "I" will be saved by me.

Dorothy thought so in her heart.

And just at this time, because she didn't wait for an answer for a long time, the terrifying and strange faces of the pig-headed man and the snake-scorpion woman also showed anger, and two hands immediately fanned over from left to right.

Boom.

Accompanied by the sound of wooden wall panels breaking, the storm outside the house also blew in along the broken hole in the wall, only making the pig-headed man and the snake-scorpion woman subconsciously raise their hands to block in front of them.

However, the next second, they were stunned.

Because a rusty axe had been placed on the pig's neck, and the sharp poisonous scorpion tail behind the snake-scorpion woman's butt had been cut off, and the scorpion tail needle flashing with cold light was also pointing at the position of the eyeball on the face that had turned 180 degrees because of the pain.

Hmm, just a little bit away from pig-head separation and snake-brain piercing.

"Hey, can you two understand human words? Can you communicate?"

The little girl held the axe in one hand and the scorpion tail needle in the other, asking so.

Spirit Realm creatures some act purely according to rules, some have wisdom and can communicate. Dorothy didn't know which one these two monsters belonged to. She hoped it was the latter, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be so gentle today.

Fortunately, although neither the pig-headed man nor the snake-scorpion woman spoke, Dorothy still keenly sensed the uncontrollable trembling of these two monsters' bodies.

They were afraid, they were afraid.

And knowing fear, knowing fear, then it is easy to handle.

"We are a family. Family members shouldn't move their hands so casually, know that?"

She smiled and said so.

The smile on that little girl's face was bright, like an angel.

"Then Dad, you must have brought a gift for your cute daughter, right?"

She asked the pig-headed man like this.

And the pig-headed man was silent for a moment, and finally reached into his arms and touched it, and finally took out a red cloak and handed it to Dorothy.

Dorothy frowned slightly at this, but didn't say anything. She put away the red cloak, and then turned to look at the shivering snake-scorpion woman with a smile.

"Then Mom, I'm hungry. Let's have a reunion dinner as a family one last time, okay?"

And to this, looking at the scorpion tail needle right in front of her, where did the snake-scorpion woman dare to refuse? She had to carefully nod that snake head.

"Hmm, great, I love Dad and Mom the most."

The smile on the little girl's face suddenly became a bit more cheerful, and she put away the axe and scorpion tail in her hand.

And the pig-headed man and the snake-scorpion woman, who regained their freedom, looked at each other, but didn't want to resist anymore.

Under Dorothy's eye signal, the pig-headed man sat on the wooden wall that had been destroyed before, blocking the wind and rain outside with his fat body.

And the snake-scorpion woman tremblingly came to the stove and began to cook a bit awkwardly.

And Dorothy put on the red cloak she had just obtained. As soon as this cloak was put on, a piece of information suddenly came.

【Courageous Red Cloak: This is a reward for those who dare to resist fate. May it always keep you full of courage to move forward.】

"Good guy, this is really like a game, and you can explode equipment after fighting monsters."

Dorothy thought to herself.

It seems that the normal way to get this red cloak should be a prop obtained by defeating this pig-headed father.

However, complaining is complaining, but after putting on this red cloak, she felt that her body was much warmer, as if there was a fire burning in her heart. At the same time, her physical strength and power seemed to have been greatly increased.

Hmm, although it is still a mortal body and has not restored mana and witch body, it is at least not the level of a little girl who has no power to bind a chicken before.

Yay, everything is getting better.

Looking at the father who blocked the wind and rain with his body and guarded the warmth of the family, and looking at the mother who was busy by the stove, creating the warmth of home, Dorothy nodded with satisfaction.

She returned to the desk before and picked up the letter written in blood.

There were only a few lines of words on this large piece of letter paper, and there were large blank spaces.

Dorothy thought about it, and then cut off the scorpion tail needle in her hand with an axe. This hollow-structured scorpion tail needle was barely able to be used as a pen.

She sucked a little blood from the scorpion tail with this scorpion tail needle, and then raised her pen to write a sentence on the letter.

"Dad and Mom do love me. Everything before was just a misunderstanding. After a friendly exchange, I now have a relatively complete home."

"There is nothing more important and precious than family in this world."

"Every little girl should have a happy and complete home."

Although she didn't know if doing this had any meaning, Dorothy didn't like tragedies. So, anyway, she was idle, so she simply added a good ending to this unfinished letter.

However, the next moment after she finished writing, the original handwriting on the letter disappeared, and then the ugly handwriting like a dung beetle crawling appeared again.

However, this time it was not blood, but words written with carbon sticks.

"The demons on Dad and Mom suddenly left, and they seemed to have become different people. Dad started to quit drinking, found a job as a dock porter, and started making money to support the family. Mom also stopped going to people to play cards every day. She started learning cooking, and made a lot of delicious food every day. So good."

"Mom also asked me to send some bread she just baked to Grandma outside the city tomorrow. Grandma runs an orphanage outside the city alone, which is quite hard. I don't know if I can help with anything tomorrow."

Dorothy: "..."

Ah, this, do I count as passing the first level?

However, looking at the new content on the letter, she nodded with satisfaction.

Although this might also be a part of the haunted house game plot, the sense of achievement of avoiding the bad ending and walking on the good ending still made her quite satisfied.

"It seems that the branch routes of this game are quite many, and it is made quite exquisite. If it weren't for forcing people to play and not giving a logout key, I would definitely give a good review."

Dorothy thought to herself.

She now really thinks this game is a bit interesting.

"Just don't know how the sisters are. I should be able to meet them in the later levels."

Dorothy thought of the lost sisters.

She was a little worried about the safety of the sisters, but the sisters were all extraordinary and had many life-saving means, so they shouldn't have any accidents. She only hopes that as the game progresses, everyone can unite sooner.

And just at this time, a scent of bread came.

The snake-scorpion mother brought over three bowls of thin meat soup and some freshly baked bread.

"Time to eat."

She looked at her daughter in front of her with some fear, and then said in a low voice.

"En en, thank you, Mom."

Dorothy also put away the letter and answered sweetly.

Since she decided to play an action role-playing game, she naturally had to play a qualified "me" well. This requires getting into the play, not messing around.

Thus, mother and daughter came to the pig-headed father, and the family sat together for a long time, enjoying this dinner that was actually not very delicious.

After all, the family is so dilapidated, where are the good conditions? The meat used to make the meat soup is already the best ingredient in the family, just that small piece. However, the snake-scorpion mother was quite "pitying" and gave the most meat to Dorothy's bowl, and there was almost only clear soup in her and the pig-headed father's bowls.

As for the bread, the black bread mixed with stones and bran is really hard and hurts the teeth.

But it doesn't matter. For a child, being able to eat together as a family is enough, isn't it?

"Originally your grandma said she planned to pick you up, but now I don't know if you are still willing to go. If you are not willing, then forget it."

During dinner, the snake-scorpion mother hesitated for a moment, and finally said so stutteringly.

And on the side, the pig-headed father, who was chewing black bread, stiffened his body when he heard this, and the two monsters looked at Dorothy fearfully.

To this, Dorothy didn't say anything.

After all, she had just seen the plot of the next level from the information in the letter. Undoubtedly, the next level should be in Grandma's orphanage.

As for what the snake-scorpion mother just said about grandma planning to pick her up.

Sigh, don't delve into the details of this kind of horror game, it's easy to think carefully and be terrified, ruining the mood.

In this world of all villains, that grandma, who doesn't know if she is a real grandma, is estimated not to be a simple character.

According to the normal game difficulty, after leaving the novice village, the strength of the monsters will become more and more powerful. That grandma is estimated not to be as persuasive as this "Dad and Mom."

But she had no choice, so she had to follow the plot.

"Hmm, I will go. I haven't seen Grandma for a long time."

The little girl nodded and said so.

"I think you'd better not go."

At this time, the pig-headed father suddenly said so.

Dorothy looked up at him in surprise, but he just continued to bite the hard black bread.

"Always have to go."

Dorothy shook her head, and then turned to look at the snake-scorpion mother.

"Mom, do you have anything to bring to Grandma?"

She asked so.

"En en, yes, yes, you take these breads over. There are many people in the orphanage over there, and the food is not enough."

The snake-scorpion mother showed a terrifying smile on her snake face, and then nodded constantly, saying so.

Just like this, a peaceful and warm day passed.

The next day, early in the morning, the pig-headed father walked towards the dock early. From today on, he prepared to be a porter properly.

And the snake-scorpion mother, who was wearing an apron around her waist, handed a basket of black bread to Dorothy, and then told her the direction of Grandma's orphanage.

"Just keep walking along this road and you will arrive, but no matter what you hear on the road, don't look back. There are wolves outside the city, you have to be careful."

She exhorted so.

And Dorothy naturally nodded, put on the hood of the red cloak, and walked out of the house with the basket.

It's just that, when she was about to walk out of the city, passing a shop window, she suddenly remembered something.

"I don't seem to know what I look like yet. This is the animal world, I should also be an animal. Don't know what it is, is it a harmless little rabbit?"

Dorothy thought curiously.

Hmm, the appearance of her father and mother is not good, she can't be like them.

So, she poked her head to look at her reflection in the shop window, but at this look, she was stunned.

What was reflected in the mirror was the face of a little girl with red lips and white teeth, as cute as a little angel.

Hmm, she is really a human.

And it's not just a human, the key is that she is too familiar with this face.

"Damn, Ati?"

Dorothy was shocked. ===== CHAPTER 770 =====
