Chapter 55: Big problem (2)
"Is the memory you're talking about what happened last night?"
Tran Thien Nga could guess what Hoang Tuan would say.
"What happened last night?"
She really had no clear idea until now.
After seeing the figure lying on the windowpane outside, she lost her memory and fell into a strange sleep.
Hoang Tuan looked at Tran Thien Nga sitting on the bed and nodded silently.
Dinh Phuc said, "Regarding what happened last night, Tuan and I have already discussed it. Our situation is the same. We fell asleep after encountering some strange things."
He paused and changed the subject.
"Do you both think it's a compulsory mechanism in this world? Every time we reach that point, we have to fall asleep?"
"Is it because we fall asleep as soon as we encounter those strange things?"
Dinh Phuc's thinking was straightforward.
He directly linked the issue of sleep to the rules of the world.
But after speaking it out.
After thinking about it, he felt it wasn't the case.
Because during yesterday's reasoning process, in fact, they all understood that the main rule of this world was "Obey mother's command."
Perhaps.
The main reason for falling asleep was because mother had given the command...
"Do we have no choice but to obey after mother gives the order! Finally, we have to complete that order, like yesterday when mother told us to sleep, and we ended up falling asleep."
Dinh Phuc said thoughtfully.
In fact, from a certain perspective, it could be explained like that; after all, from the beginning, all three of them thought that "sleep" was related to the food, which they have now put aside.
From Tran Thien Nga's perspective.
The only ones who had eaten the food last night were Hoang Tuan and Hoang Lan.
They didn't use chopsticks to eat.
Hoang Lan is not speaking now.
She is an NPC belonging to this world.
But after Hoang Tuan ate it, he vaguely encountered a situation similar to theirs, losing memory and suddenly falling into a deep sleep. If there was an issue with the food, there must be some difference.
Therefore, doubts related to food were thrown out of the minds of Dinh Phuc and Tran Thien Nga.
"It's not that simple. If the mother's command is impossible to disobey, then yesterday we should have refused to eat, and it shouldn't have worked."
Tran Thien Nga said to Dinh Phuc, inserting a small contradiction into the reasoning.
At this point, Hoang Tuan looked at the two people in front of him.
He silently reached for the dark blue backpack beside him, unzipped it, and took out something to eat. While he was thinking about the meal his mother made last night, he picked up the food to eat.
Tran Thien Nga and Dinh Phuc could clearly understand how he did it at that moment.
But Hoang Tuan himself knew very well...
He simply didn't eat those things; all of them were eaten by the insects inside him. In theory, he was just like them, not eating.
"Could it be that because I didn't eat the meal, I encountered this problem?"
Thinking to himself, Hoang Tuan crushed the instant noodles in the bag, tore open the package, and stuffed the crushed noodles into his mouth, filling his stomach beforehand.
He also controlled the insects to eat today's noodles...
There was inevitably a bit of hunger.
"How much food do you have in your bag?"
Tran Thien Nga looked at Hoang Tuan eating and suddenly asked him.
"There's quite a lot, enough to barely survive for a few days." Hoang Tuan said.
"Can you give me a piece of the biscuit? I'm really hungry..." Tran Thien Nga pointed at the things she had vomited out from the trash bin.
Hoang Tuan was taken aback.
He turned back and glanced at Dinh Phuc.
And at this moment, Dinh Phuc was also sitting on the bed, quietly looking at the instant noodles in his hand...
As if waiting for Hoang Tuan to give them something to eat, just like yesterday.
"Oh, what I mean is, just enough for myself."
Hoang Tuan declined, looking out the window and suggesting to Dinh Phuc and Tran Thien Nga, "You two can go downstairs and buy some food when mother is not paying attention."
...
After Hoang Tuan's reminder.
Tran Thien Nga looked at Dinh Phuc.
"I'm a poor student with no money. Dinh Phuc is a father, so he must have money." Tran Thien Nga said.
As someone who had been to many worlds many times.
In general, they would only bring some cursed items or some items to escape danger, like a small dagger or something.
When they saw Hoang Tuan carrying a backpack full of snacks yesterday, they had already classified Hoang Tuan as a strange guy with an abnormal brain in their hearts.
After all, who would bring such a mountaineering backpack just to store snacks?
As a result.
This time, Hoang Tuan was very calm about taking out 100,000 cash from his body and asking if they wanted to borrow it.
Who carries cash inside here?
"What on earth are you carrying..."
Dinh Phuc looked at Hoang Tuan's large backpack and even suspected that besides snacks, there were entertainments like PSP in there...
"It doesn't matter. Do you want to borrow or not? Leave your contact information and address for each other. After leaving this world, you can return it to me."
Tran Thien Nga looked at the space for "Party B's Signature" on the promissory note, and she felt like she was dealing with loan sharks...
After the loan event was over.
Mother came back from shopping at noon.
All three of them stopped talking.
When mother went out to buy groceries, Dinh Phuc and Tran Thien Nga took the money and went to a nearby convenience store to have a quick meal and fill their empty stomachs.
Today was different from yesterday.
Nothing strange happened...
At night, the three of them fell asleep on the bed just like yesterday.
Waiting for Hoang Tuan to open his eyes.
Now it's Tuesday morning...
...
The early morning mist in the city just dissipated.
The warm sun penetrated through the white clouds, scattering the bright and dim spots through the dense foliage, sprinkling into the house.
The breakfast stall on the ground floor of the apartment complex was still the same.
Hoang Tuan woke up from his bed and poured himself a glass of milk, then glanced at the old-fashioned clock on the wall.
Today, the house was very quiet.
Everyone else had gone shopping, and he was the only one left at home.
After finishing his milk in the living room, Hoang Tuan did not stay there but turned back to his room.
Slippers on the ground.
Leaving the sound of rubbing footsteps...
In the bedroom.
He looked at the strange object that had been on the bedside table since he woke up.
His face was a bit puzzled.
He couldn't remember who put this axe in his room...
