Chapter 6 The Unexpected

On the way back, Lin Yi was trembling with fear.

Occasionally, he looked up and glanced at his mother who was driving, and countless thoughts popped up in his mind.

"Take off the coat and strangle her to death?" Lin Yi thought to himself.

"No, if these monsters also have shells on their necks, the coat will not strangle them at all."

"Besides, I'm still sitting in the car. If she steps on the accelerator and the car rushes out, I will die with her."

"Or... poison their food?"

"But what if they smell it?"

Lin Yi was not only upset by this, he didn't know how many monsters there were in this world.

Even if he could kill the monster in front of him, what about the other monsters?

Does this mean that he has to live in this world full of monsters?

"Yiyi, why don't you speak?" The mother's voice came from the driver's seat.

Lin Yi was startled and said: "I didn't do well in the exam, I feel uncomfortable, and I don't want to talk."

"Yiyi, mom told you." The gentler the mother's voice, the more disgusted Lin Yi felt.

"Grades are not important to you. Even if you don't do well in the exam, your parents won't blame you."

Lin Yi sneered in his heart: "Yes, of course you won't blame me. After all, you will eat me in two days, and grades really don't matter to you."

"Yiyi, I heard from your classmates that after the exam, you seemed to lose your temper with the invigilator. Is that true?"

Lin Yi's mother's words made Lin Yi alert.

In the examination room where Lin Yi was, Zhou Kai was the only classmate in the same class.

Lin Yi didn't know the other classmates at all. Logically speaking, they couldn't know Lin Yi's mother.

So, who told her about the exam room?

Recalling that her mother knew that Lin Yi was staying on the rooftop, Lin Yi suddenly realized that she might have been under surveillance.

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded.

Since she already knew, if she lied now, she would probably be suspected.

"Mom also heard that you mentioned some 'monster', is that true?"

When she heard this, Lin Yi shuddered.

Inadvertently glancing out the window, there were few pedestrians on the road, and Lin Yi realized that this was not the usual way home.

"This monster... is testing me!"

Lin Yi's breathing became rapid, and he kept thinking about how to deal with it.

"Yiyi, why don't you say anything?"

"Monster..." Lin Yi opened his mouth, "I saw a monster."

The mother sitting in the driver's seat suddenly stepped on the brakes, and the car stopped suddenly.

"Yiyi, the monster you said--"

Just as the mother was about to turn around, Lin Yi continued: "I saw the test paper turned into a monster, and the questions on it, every word on it."

"I clearly did those questions, but when it came to the test, why couldn't I answer them?"

"..." The mother in the driver's seat was silent for a while.

"Yiyi, is this what you mean by 'monster'?"

Lin Yi nodded: "The teacher once said that we should treat each question as a monster in the game. Answering a question correctly means that you have defeated a monster."

"But, this exam... I really can't answer it."

"Yiyi, don't be afraid. Mom said that even if you don't do well in the exam this time, we won't blame you." The car started to move, and Mom didn't look back.

"So, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The exam is over, just relax."

"You must be in the best condition."

If it were in the past, Lin Yi would definitely be very grateful for his mother's understanding.

And now, Lin Yi knows very well why she said that.

After all, only by maintaining the best condition can you make your meat more delicious.

"I may be too tired." Lin Yi followed his mother's words and said, "I should be fine after I rest after returning."

"That's right." Mom smiled, "Mom will make you delicious food in the evening."

Delicious? Lin Yi frowned.

He didn't want to eat, and he didn't dare to eat.

Who knows what the food I have been eating is made of.

When I thought of this, Lin Yi's stomach was churning.

"There have been many cases of evil people injuring people in our city recently. The police have identified the suspect as An Chengdao, the owner of the meat shop on Qianjiang Road. The suspect is still on the run. Please be vigilant, and if you find any clues, please notify me immediately..."

A news report suddenly broke into the car radio, but before the news was finished, my mother switched to music.

"It's so scary." My mother's tone sounded a little worried, "It's been so long, why hasn't this person been caught yet?"

"Yi Yi, it's not safe outside recently, otherwise, you should stay at home these days."

Lin Yi Jue thought it was ridiculous.

If it's not safe outside, is it safe at home?

Anyway, this ghost place is full of monsters, does it matter where you stay?

It's just a question of who will eat you in the end.

"But, my classmates have agreed to have a graduation dinner tomorrow."

Lin Yi gradually got used to talking to these monsters, "It would be bad if I was the only one who didn't go."

Perhaps because he was afraid that his mother would stop him from going out, Lin Yi continued: "Actually, I don't want to go out either. After all, I didn't do well in the exam this time, and I'm not in the mood to do anything."

"But after all, I have made an appointment with my classmates. How about this, I will come back after dinner with my classmates tomorrow, and then rest at home for a few days, not going anywhere, and adjust my mentality."

"Okay." Mom finally gave in.

When he arrived at the community and entered the elevator, Lin Yi met Grandma Liu upstairs.

"Aunt Liu, you have brought your grandson over again." Mom glanced at the child in Grandma Liu's arms.

"Yes." Grandma Liu nodded and said with a smile, "You know, my husband just likes children. He misses them so much after just a few weeks of not seeing them."

"So, I brought this little guy back to accompany us for two days."

Lin Yi turned his back to them, and he didn't know what mood he should use to face the child in Grandma Liu's arms.

He remembered clearly that last year Grandma Liu was holding a little girl who was about 5 years old.

And now, Grandma Liu is holding a little boy in her arms.

This child is not Grandma Liu's grandson at all, but their food.

"I'm sorry..." Lin Yi kept repeating in his heart.

At this time, Lin Yi couldn't even guarantee his own safety, and there was no way to save this poor child.

"By the way, I remember that your Lin Yi will be 18 years old the day after tomorrow." Grandma Liu's words made Lin Yi's scalp numb.

"Yes." Mom smiled and nodded.

"You have waited for so long, Lin Yi has finally grown up." Grandma Liu also laughed, "You must be looking forward to that day."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, and the scene of June 10th kept flashing through his mind.

"I won't be killed by you again." Lin Yi secretly swore, "This time, I must survive!"

After returning home, Lin Yi told his mother that he was tired and wanted to sleep.

He hid in the room, thinking about what to do next.

During this period, his mother came in several times.

Although Lin Yi closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, he could feel his mother standing by the bed, staring at him.

In the evening, the doorbell rang at home.

There were footsteps outside the room. Lin Yi thought it was his father who came back, and he became more worried.

The door was opened, and someone came to Lin Yi's side.

"Lin Yi, it's me." A familiar voice came from his ear.

"Zhou Kai!" Seeing that the person in front of him was Zhou Kai, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Yi, something happened." Zhou Kai's face was very ugly.

His eyes were red, as if he had just cried.

"What happened?" Lin Yi became nervous, "Are we exposed?"

Zhou Kai shook his head: "Lin Yi, I'm sorry."

There was a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he looked down and saw that Zhou Kai was holding a knife in his hand.

And the blade pierced into Lin Yi's body.

"You... why..."

"I'm sorry, but I have to do this, because... only in this way..."
