My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 38

The Forensic Doctor looked at the startled Yue Yiyue. She found it somewhat amusing. For a moment, she had thought her wife was so tasteless as to fall for this boring kid.

Handing over the medicine, she noticed Yue Yiyue’s face seemed somewhat familiar.

After a moment of contemplation, her excellent memory brought back the image of this interesting little lunatic.

She was one of the only two human survivors of that game.

Back then, Yue Yiyue was probably a little older and her face more weathered.

Her eyes held a look of madness, protecting the little monster behind her.

Speaking of which, the Forensic Doctor felt a little nostalgic. After all, back then she could dissect those things without inhibition.

With that thought, she inexplicably smiled. She asked Yue Yiyue in a remarkably pleasant tone: “What are you worried about?”

“Are you worried about Gu Nanqiu?” Before, she treated the little monster like a treasure, hiding it throughout the slaughter.

Even after personally witnessing its immense true form, and with her sanity points nearly zero due to mental abnormality, she still rushed forward to protect it.

She heard that Yue Yiyue had amnesia, but somehow she had once again gotten involved with that little monster.

She took back her earlier evaluation of Yue Yiyue. After all, in some sense, they were peers.

“She will come looking for you and take you back. All you need to do now is wait. You might need to stay here for a while?”

The Forensic Doctor looked at Yue Yiyue, who was still confused in bed.

Looks like her brain is broken, but that’s none of my business.

At this hour, she should be figuring out how to cook with her dear wife, not staring blankly at this seemingly demented person.

After the Forensic Doctor left, Yue Yiyue still hadn’t fully processed things.

So, where was she now?

Why did I forget to ask just now?

And that Forensic Doctor seemed oddly familiar.

There was a strange feeling—her heart beat exceptionally fast when she saw her.

As if something had happened between them before.

But Yue Yiyue was sure it wasn’t anything good.

She sat on the bed, feeling like exploring this place to see if she could find any information about it.

Or a way out.

But she also considered a few things, like the Forensic Doctor, who seemed formidable.

And the Boss. Recalling when she passed out, she seemed to see human organs cut into different pieces in the basin next to the Boss…

It was always best to be cautious in someone else’s territory.

Being “familiar” with the Boss only meant they had met a couple of times.

And she was just being chased by a monster. She vaguely remembered the restaurant…

The restaurant…

What about the restaurant?

Yue Yiyue clutched her head, which started aching again, and dove into the quilt.

Damn it.

She seemed to have forgotten something again.

What the hell is interfering with her mind?

What exactly did she forget?

The Boss walked in and saw Yue Yiyue hitting the wall somewhat hysterically. She noticed the medicine placed on the side table hadn’t been touched.

Tsk, knew leaving it to the Forensic Doctor was unreliable. Yue Yiyue had a history of offending that crazy woman.

She grabbed the person, whose forehead was bleeding from hitting the wall, pressed her down, stuffed two pills into her mouth, and made her swallow water.

Had she arrived a moment later, she might have seen something more interesting.

But then Gu Nanqiu would kill her, and there would be chaos again.

She looked at the unfortunate soul boredly, tucked her into the quilt, and healed the wound.

After doing all that, she took a bite of the fried chicken placed nearby.

“Tsk, you’re so slow to arrive.”

Her head ached intensely. When Yue Yiyue opened her eyes, she felt her vision was bloodshot.

She sat up, clutching her head.

An alluring aroma wafted through the door, awakening Yue Yiyue’s sluggish sense of taste.

She got out of bed and followed the scent out of the room. She saw a spiral staircase ahead, twisting and winding to different places.

There were pieces of meat hanging all around, like air-dried cured meat.

There were also dried chili peppers, corn, bananas, and the like.

On a shelf to the side were various breads, fragrant and steaming. They looked very soft and delicious.

“I’m very delicious. Take a bite of me~” The bread noticed someone was there. It immediately jumped enthusiastically, coaxing Yue Yiyue to eat it.

?

Yue Yiyue rubbed her eyes. Did that bread really just talk?

Oh no, my nerves must have broken down.

She took a deep breath and calmly walked down.

Next, a candy jar vigorously promoted itself, hoping Yue Yiyue would take just one piece, just one…

Potato chips crawled out, hoping Yue Yiyue would tear away its disguise and listen to its shattering.

Only a bottle of soda cheerfully hopped over: “Hey, human, you’ve gone the wrong way. They’re in that room, but I suggest you don’t go right now. The wives are getting heated.”

Hearing this, Yue Yiyue stopped. She looked at the object in confusion, thought for a moment, and decisively returned to her room.

She definitely wasn’t fully awake.

The soda watched Yue Yiyue. It hopped and jumped, catching up: “Human, I was once your kind too, so I’ll give you a hint. Listen up, because I’m very satisfied with my current body. Really, I used to always have to agree to people’s demands, always having to do things perfectly, without leaving any mistakes. I was truly tired of human life. Thankfully, the Master gave me a new life.”

It chattered on: “Will you stay here too? Do you have any favorite food? Speaking of which, that bread over there regretted it. It wants to be eaten and assimilate the person, so it can gain power and return to the human world, but it’s very weak now.”

“Human, I’m one of the oldest employees here, so take my warning: don’t randomly eat the things here.”

“The rules here are few. The fact that you haven’t gone crazy since arriving means, oh, right, you must be a distinguished guest… Hmm, then you can’t choose a new body. What a pity.”

“Thank you for telling me all this.” Yue Yiyue listened as she walked. Although she found it absurd, she strangely accepted it.

After all, she transmigrated into a book.

Yue Yiyue decided to believe the soda only a little bit, just a tiny bit.

“Then I’ll stay in the room. Can I leave later?”

“Leave?” The soda paused: “Why would you want to leave? This place is so wonderful?”

Then it realized: “I see! You want to clean up that garbage, right? Of course you can! As long as you accept assimilation, you can gain a new body, and then you can go clean up that garbage, and you’ll receive the Master’s commendation!”

“You can drink me! After all, as I said at the very beginning, I am the oldest employee here. Drink me, and you will gain even more—”

The hidden dagger was revealed. Yue Yiyue slammed the door shut, cutting off the soda’s incessant chatter.

She couldn’t figure out the current situation. Her phone had no signal.

She found a corner that made her feel safe and huddled there.

Can I get out?

As long as I don’t do anything, will they let me out?

Will Gu Nanqiu notice I’m missing?

Will she worry?

And I really was… it was just a small bite from Nanqiu, wasn’t it?

Yue Yiyue fiercely scorned herself for making such a fuss over something so small.

“Yue Yiyue, are you awake? Yiyue, hurry, someone is here to pick you up.” A noisy voice. Yue Yiyue stood up, her legs feeling numb.

Pick her up?

The term felt unfamiliar.

She didn’t remember kindergarten.

After elementary school, she always returned to the orphanage alone, and it had been that way ever since.

Who would come to pick her up?

Gu… Nanqiu?

No, this place is strange. If she came, she would definitely run into trouble. Protagonists are like that.

But what if… it really is her?

She hobbled to the door, nervously grasping the doorknob.

When the door opened this time, it wasn’t the spiral staircase, but a living room?

Yes, a living room.

A fireplace, sofas, thick blankets. The whole room felt warm and cozy.

Fog covered the windows, obscuring the outside view.

It looked extremely homey.

Only Yue Yiyue, dressed in a T-shirt, looked out of place in this room.

“Ginger milk curd. Drink it.” The Boss handed over a cup: “Come here. You can’t stay here too long.”

“She’s here to pick you up.” The Boss handed Yue Yiyue something wrapped in black cloth: “I’m returning what I owe you. I’m sorry about the past.”

Even though I killed you and planned to kill you again, one thing is one thing. At least I saved you this time. A flicker of regret passed through the Boss’s eyes.

“You had a pretty good time staying here, didn’t you?”

Yue Yiyue, you must say yes, or my business won’t be safe again. That crazy person will surely slaughter me again. Resurrection is exhausting! The Boss looked eagerly at the dazed human, hoping her lying mouth would spit out something helpful.

Yue Yiyue nodded blankly: “Thank you, Boss.”

She took a sip of the milk: “You don’t seem to owe me anything, do you?”

Didn’t the Boss already give her this thing?

The Boss thought about how she had been crammed into that shrine back then. She cursed the madwoman in her heart, but she said sweetly: “Oh, it’s fine if I give you a little extra. Hurry up. She’s waiting for you at the door. Don’t keep her waiting.”

She draped a heavy coat over Yue Yiyue’s shoulders: “It’s a bit cold walking back from here. Take it off when you feel warm, and put it anywhere. Remember, you absolutely, absolutely must not wear it across the—”

When Yue Yiyue pushed the door open, she saw a familiar figure at the entrance. She felt her heart skip a beat—

But when she walked in front of the person, Yue Yiyue concealed her disappointment: “Ye Qiu?”

The woman in the wool coat was sucking on a lollipop, the wind blowing her hair around carelessly, giving her a rebellious look.

“If you’re disappointed it’s not Gu Nanqiu, you can just say it.” She extended her warm hand, meticulously straightened Yue Yiyue’s collar, and wiped off the milk stain on her mouth that Yue Yiyue hadn’t noticed: “But if she could come to this place, wouldn’t that be strange?”

“Hold my hand properly. You sure can run.” Ye Qiu complained, but the voice, laced with laughter, didn’t sound like a complaint at all.

It sounded more like… flirting?

A cold wind blew, and heavy snow fell.

It was winter here.

Yue Yiyue wore the boots the Boss had prepared, stepping on the soft ground, sinking in deep with every step.

All the cold dissipated the moment she took Ye Qiu’s hand.

“Why did you come to pick me up?” This was what concerned Yue Yiyue. They weren’t related, and this place looked dangerous.

“You’ll know later.” Ye Qiu had already anticipated this question: “Did you only drink the milk inside?”

“If you had eaten anything else, you would never be able to leave this place.”

Her voice was deliberately lowered, like teasing a child, creating a slightly spooky atmosphere.

In this atmosphere, Yue Yiyue suddenly recalled a time—and only that one time—when she was picked up in elementary school.
