I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

In the photo, there wasn't anything frightening, just an ordinary family of three.

Who else could this family of three be?

Naturally, it was Li Xiaoming and his parents' family portrait. In the photo, all three were beaming with smiles, looking incredibly happy and content.

Li Xiaoming's father was named Li Tong. At that time, his face didn't have a terrifying fierce look, nor was there a cleaver from Mo Fang embedded in his head.

The couple was leaning against each other, holding a baby stroller, appearing deeply in love. Inside the stroller was Li Xiaoming, still sucking on a pacifier.

"It's amazing to see a couple so in love."

Qin Nuo murmured, just about to flip to the next photo, when suddenly the game's notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the player for triggering a role-playing task!"

"The role-playing Li Xiaoming has always been puzzled: why did his father treat his mother like that back then, and why did he suddenly become so hostile towards him? They were once so happy as a family. Was it because of that strange woman?"

"Role-playing task: The player must find out the reason for the collapse of Li Xiaoming's family within 24 hours!"

Qin Nuo was a bit surprised to trigger a role-playing task, but along with the surprise came some confusion.

The task's content seemed to provide enough obvious information.

Li Tong's family of three was originally happy, but then it was clear a third party got involved. Li Tong must have had an affair, and the mistress brought a child to cause trouble.

The child was naturally Li Xiaodie and Li Xiaodong.

The information and clues obtained were enough for Qin Nuo to deduce what had happened back then.

What more investigation was needed?

Or was it not as simple as he thought?

Qin Nuo continued flipping through the photos, all of which were happy pictures of the family of three. At that time, the couple seemed to be on a trip, with the photo backgrounds always showing different sceneries.

Until the last photo, the people in it had changed.

It was a family of four, two children, and two adults, but all the heads in the photo had been maliciously cut off.

There was no need to ask who the other three were; the only question was about the woman, who should be the so-called third party.

Judging by her attire and style, she seemed to belong to the upper class, with an elegance even surpassing Mo Fang.

Even with her head cut off, her figure and skin showed she was a stunning beauty, no wonder Li Tong couldn't resist.

Seeing this, Qin Nuo felt a bit of regret.

He didn't know where this woman had gone, but it was certain that if their biological mother were around, Li Xiaodie and Li Xiaodong wouldn't be so sloppy and withdrawn now.

Li Xiaoming ate fruit while they could only watch eagerly from the side.

Li Xiaoming drank soup while they could only watch eagerly from the doorway.

"Ah!!"

As Qin Nuo was lost in thought, Li Xiaodie's voice came from the side.

Turning his head, he saw Li Xiaodie holding something in both hands, spinning around joyfully, overjoyed.

"Found it, found it, brother, we found what we were looking for!" Li Xiaodie waved to Qin Nuo, looking extremely excited.

"What is it?"

Qin Nuo couldn't help but walk over, only to find she was holding a wallet.

A crumpled wallet.

Li Xiaodie skillfully opened the wallet and took out a few pieces of Ghost Currency, grinning, "Brother, we have money now, with money we can buy lots and lots of delicious things."

"The uncle's bun shop downstairs, I've been craving their meat buns for so long. Before, when I went to steal with second brother, he caught us and beat us up. After that, second brother wouldn't let me go with him to steal anymore. He always stole by himself, every time getting beaten up until his head was bloody, and then he'd give the buns to me..."

"Now that we have money, we can buy them openly!"

Li Xiaodie grinned, holding the wallet like a treasure, her smile so radiant.

At this moment, she was purely an innocent child.

Qin Nuo felt a bit complicated hearing this and asked, "Why steal, isn't there food at home?"

"Mom only treats brother well, only makes dishes brother likes, she doesn't let us touch your food, we can only eat some vegetables, and my brother and I often wake up hungry in the middle of the night. Dad doesn't care about us, so we can only go downstairs to steal buns to eat."

Hearing this, Qin Nuo remembered that at the dining table, the dishes in front of Li Xiaodie and Li Xiaodong were always those few meager dishes.

Li Xiaodie took a few pieces of Ghost Currency, put the wallet back in place, then waved to Qin Nuo, holding up the Ghost Currency, "Brother, let's go buy meat buns, and then bring some back for second brother."

Apparently, Li Xiaodie thought he was also sneaking out to steal Ghost Currency.

Although Qin Nuo sympathized with Li Xiaodie, he still said coldly, "I'm not here to steal a wallet."

"Besides, if mom and dad find out the money is missing, you'll be in big trouble."

"This is dad's wallet, he'll scold us, but he won't hit us," Li Xiaodie grinned.

Qin Nuo said nothing more and walked towards the door.

Li Xiaodie watched him and suddenly said, "Brother, are you looking for something else? How about I help you find it?"

Qin Nuo didn't respond.

Li Xiaodie pointed to a corner by the bed, smiling, "Hey, brother, look, what's that?"

Qin Nuo stopped, followed her direction, and asked, "What is it?"

"I don't know, it's so strange," Li Xiaodie said, putting her finger to her mouth, pouting.

Qin Nuo walked over and looked at the corner by the bed.

There was nothing there.

At that moment, Qin Nuo felt a chill.

His right hand involuntarily raised, grabbing the incoming dagger.

Qin Nuo turned to look at the dagger, then at Li Xiaodie, who was gradually turning ghostly, with a shocked expression.

She was ghostifying!

Had he made a mistake in his role-playing?

Qin Nuo looked at Li Xiaodie, who had suddenly attacked him, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Li Xiaodie's smile was gone, and she said seriously, "Brother, can you die?"

"If you die, mom will care for and love me and second brother. You can't be so selfish, hogging mom's love all to yourself."

"So, can you die?"

Qin Nuo's face darkened.

Despite his expression, he understood that Li Xiaodie's thoughts were very simple, simple to the point of horror.

She believed that Li Xiaoming's existence took away their mother's love for them.

But in reality, their real mother was likely already dead!

The mother she thought she knew had treated them as illegitimate children all along.

With a snap, Qin Nuo crushed the dagger in his right hand and said coldly, "Put away these ridiculous thoughts. Unless I'm brain-dead, I won't listen to your nonsense."

Li Xiaodie looked very downcast, staring at the broken dagger in her hand, and said softly, "But I just want mom's love, is that not okay?"

Then, she looked up, her little face still innocent, but her eyes filled with malice, "Brother, if you won't die, then I'll keep cursing you to die."

"One day, you'll be cursed to death by me!"
