The younger brother's face looked as if he had eaten shit.

If he could, he would never want to see Nanxi again in his life. Just seeing her would remind him of those horrific memories...

Why do you say this family became like this because of me?

Nanxi, on the other hand, was not polite at all. As if she had returned to her hometown, she ignored her younger brother's objections and pushed open the door to go inside.

The layout of the house seemed the same as before, but upon closer inspection, it was found to be dusty everywhere, with an indescribable sense of disorder.

"Who let you in!"

The younger brother stormed in angrily, but before he could do anything, he met Gu Xing's cold, warning gaze. His hand froze, and he could only watch helplessly as Nanxi strolled leisurely through this familiar yet unfamiliar home.

Nanxi asked, "Where's Mom?"

Mentioning this, I noticed my younger brother's face turned even paler, and he didn't say anything.

Nanxi stopped worrying about it and went to her mother's room after looking around.

The room was meticulously furnished, and in stark contrast to the outside, it seemed to be spotless, as clean as a showroom.

Nanxi walked in and immediately saw a box on the table.

"Don't!"

The younger brother, pale-faced, spoke up to stop him.

Nanxi was puzzled.

Although the younger brother was furious, he still reluctantly said, "Don't go into Mom's room. Mom isn't the same as before. If she finds out you've gone into her room and touched anything..."

Just thinking about that scene sent a chill down his spine.

He reminded Nanxi not for Nanxi's sake, but because his mother would take her anger out on him when she came back!

My mother is different from the previous mothers.

Nanxi nodded very seriously: "Can't we go in?"

After saying that, he stepped inside without hesitation the next second.

younger brother:"……"

[Hilarious! In this situation, the more restricted a place is, the more it becomes a must-visit spot!]

[Doing it the other way around is the right way, right?]

【Okay, okay, okay.】

Nanxi walked straight to the table and opened the box on it.

After opening.

I immediately spotted something familiar inside the box.

"puzzle?"

Nanxi was somewhat surprised, not expecting that there would be a golden puzzle piece inside the box.

She was wondering if it was just an ordinary fragment when she put it in her backpack and had it appraised by the system, confirming that it was indeed the golden, mysterious puzzle piece!

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

Nanxi continued looking into the box and found that there was only a family photo left inside.

The photo was originally a family portrait of Dad, Mom, and Gu Xing's younger brother. Now, everyone's heads in the photo have been blacked out with a black marker, leaving only Mom's skinny face with a strange smile on her face. She is dressed in a black dress and is holding a photo of a child pasted on her.

Next to the photo were a few words written in blurred handwriting—Family…the only remaining family.

Seeing this, Nanxi turned to look at her younger brother at the door: "Does your mother not want you anymore?"

"..."

The younger brother remained silent, then turned and left.

[Younger brother: Kind words cultivate good relationships, while harsh words wound hearts.]

[Younger brother: You've talked too much, you've crossed the line.]

[Haha, I almost thought Nanxi had become a good person.]

Nanxi smiled, but when she turned her head, she saw the tall man beside her staring intently at the family photo, seemingly lost in thought.

A thought suddenly struck her: "What did you remember?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing raised his head, and his icy aura immediately softened: "Wife, I remember everything."

Whether it was the days Nanxi lived in the Happiness Family home, or everything that happened in the basement that day.

Gu Xing has remembered everything.

"Xuanxuan is Haohao. Half a year ago, I came to my mother's place and took Haohao away, and then..."

Before Gu Xing could continue speaking, the ghostly aura in the air suddenly pressed down on the room like a dark cloud.

"Thump!"

A sharp, black finger, like a poisonous thorn, reached in through the window, its long knuckles piercing the wall. Then, a woman dressed in a long black dress, resembling a skeleton soldier, appeared behind the finger.

It's Mom.

Mother looked even thinner than before, her skin no longer recognizable except for the protruding bones. Like a wild beast, she entered the room, her dark eyes fixed on the two of them, a fanatical smile spreading across her face.

"Nanxi, ah, it's you, Nanxi, you're finally back... Ah, thinking about it, I think I saw you on the bus just now too. Is it because you finally agreed to come back that Gu Xing brought the child back with him?"

"That's great! If that's the case, then we'll still be a happy family..."

"But why did you go to that bus first thing after you got back, instead of going home immediately?"

The mother's speech quickened, consumed by a frantic anxiety; her fingernails scratched incessantly at the wall, making a piercing sound: "What's your relationship with those people in the car? Are you going to leave with them?"

Sudden.

She quieted down, her voice soft: "If I kill them all, will you not leave?"

At that time.

Their family was able to rebuild and return to a peaceful and happy life.

Nanxi immediately sensed something was wrong: "What do you mean?"

A strange smile appeared on the mother's face. She took two steps forward, and then it became clear that she had an extra tail on her back, which was not human and was as long as a scorpion.

At that moment, a figure was pierced by the tip of the tail. With a flick of the tail, the figure was immediately thrown to the ground like a rag doll and lay motionless.

It's Liu Ya.

"I think I ran into this guy on my way here." The mother's dark eyes revealed no emotion, and her flat, emotionless voice made the scene seem particularly eerie.

Liu Ya.

Despite overcoming numerous challenges in this four-star dungeon and possessing considerable strength, he still died so easily.

It doesn't seem to have caused any harm to the mother at all.

Nanxi frowned as she looked at Liu Ya on the ground.

Her mother's voice, however, was full of expectation: "If that's the case, would you be willing to stay here with us forever?"

Nanxi is back, Gu Xing will be back, and so will Xuanxuan...

This is another happy family.

"No."

Nanxi's cold voice shattered her mother's beautiful fantasy.

"I'm not staying. I hate you."
