When Tu Tri woke up, it was already dusk. She slowly sat up, looking out the window at the orange sunset shining on her bed.
She rubbed her eyes, then raised her right hand and placed it in front of her eyes. The joints were clear and delicate, the skin was white and shiny. It was her hand.
Tu Tri blinked his eyes in confusion, looking around, what came into his sight was the bedroom in his memory: After many years but still clean and tidy desk, wardrobe full of pink posters, and under it was this single bed.
Tu Tri smiled, she could finally see.
Three months ago, Tu Tri was in a car accident and almost lost her eyesight. Fortunately, she met a kind-hearted Miracle Medical Science and Technology Company. They provided her with surgery and medicine that her family could not bear. She was left with a pair of eyes, although her vision was still slowly recovering.
Straight to today!
She could finally see this world again.
Tu Tri hurriedly got up from bed and headed towards the outer bedroom. She wanted to tell this good news to her parents who were still busy outside, who had been taking good care of her parents.
Tu Tri took a few steps towards the door, about to unscrew the latch. Suddenly, she stopped moving, a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to her forehead, Tu Tri instinctively took two steps back.
In the next blink of an eye, a line of text appeared before her eyes without any trace.
[Don't let 'it' group find out you can see.]
The writing style was neat and proper, but its color was eerie and red, as if it was written in blood. It moved along with Xu Zhi's swaying head, stubbornly guarding in front of her eyes.
Tu Tri patted her forehead, Hong Tu did not disappear. She closed her eyes again, Hong Tu still existed.
"Could it be that there is a problem with her brain?" Tu Tri muttered to herself. She retreated to the bed, and began to think about the next course of action. The most appropriate solution was to tell her parents, and have them contact the Miracle Company. After all, the Miracle Company had promised too much. Once she showed any abnormality, she could find them, and they would be free to take responsibility for her life.
But if, the problem is not the brain, not the eyes, or to be more precise. This Hong Tu, is actually a reasonable existence.
Just as he thought that, the bedroom door was pushed open.
"Tri Nhi, we heard some movement in your room, so we came here to take a look."
"Good boy, what's wrong with you? Can you see?"
Worried voices came from the door, speaking were indeed Tu Tri's parents in this world.
Tu Tri transmigrated to this world half a year ago. The original body's name is Tu Tri, a 16-year-old girl who just graduated from a female vocational school. The original body has parents, an older brother, and an older sister. Although the family is poor, it is warm and loving.
"Nothing." Tu Tri said hoarsely. The situation was unclear right now, she couldn't rashly tell her parents about the strange Hong Tu in front of her.
"Can you see?" Mother's tone was urgent. As she spoke, she walked past the door and towards Xu Zhi lying on the bed.
Tu Tri first saw a very stiff leg from the door, then it went straight, then turned 90 degrees, and finally fell to the ground. It was like a slow-motion walk.
Tu Tri:...!
Her pupils suddenly constricted, her mother's walking posture was so strange! She held her breath, looking at her mother's other leg also using a stiff shackle as she walked away.
Immediately after, her mother appeared before her.
This is a paper-made person. 'It' is similar in height to its mother, has the same facial features, and wears a paper-made gray shirt and black pants. On its face are painted two delicate eyebrows and a pair of jet-black lifeless eyes. Its lips are bright red, as if it had just drunk a large cup of blood.
Tu Tri only felt a basin of ice water poured down from her head, her whole body became cold. She bit her tongue, held back the urge to scream, and looked blankly ahead.
At this moment, she finally understood what that Hong Zi meant.
"Good boy, are you really okay? Your face is pale." "Mother" arched her back, brought her head in front of Tu Tri, and used a pair of jet black, lifeless eyes to glare at Tu Tri.
"Shouldn't you be able to see?" 'It' tried to say, its tone was no different from the gentle and kind mother in Xu Zhi's memory.
Tu Tri bitterly smiled and shook her head, "I don't." Just as she finished speaking, she felt that her tone was too shaky, so she said again, "I'm afraid that if I still can't recover, what should I do?"
With that, she resolutely lowered her head and cried.
"Be good, don't cry." "Mother" stretched out two pieces of paper as arms, hugged Tu Tri, and said painfully, "Don't be impatient, we'll go slowly."
Feeling two paper arms wrap around him, Tu Tri suppressed his fear and disgust and cried even louder.
"Enough!" A roar came from the door, and only then did Tu Tri remember that there was still "Father". If it wasn't as she expected, "Father" should be just like "Mother", a strange paper man.
She opened her eyes and saw that her "father" had also stiffened his steps and walked to her bedside, using a pair of ink-painted eyes to stare at her.
"Zhi'er, usually when I advise you to eat more nutritional supplements, you are always picky, refusing to eat this or that. Now you are angry." "Mother" is kind, "Father" is strict. 'It's' tone carried a hint of heartache and anger, "From now on, you must eat well."
After saying that, 'it' magically pulled out a bowl of food. "This is mixed liver noodles, it's very good for restoring eyesight."
"Father" brought this bowl of mixed noodles to Tu Tri.
Tu Tri looked over, the bowl was filled with wriggling maggots, and there were also suspicious sucker-like structures covered in tentacles. Hong Tu appeared before his eyes again:
[Don't eat the food 'it' gives you. Otherwise you will become 'it's' kind.]
No need to remind me, I won't eat! She covered her nose, "It's just that liver is so fishy, I really can't eat it."
The original Tu Tri was indeed a bit picky, not liking to eat things with a strong fishy taste. "Father" was silent for a moment, sighed, then put away the maggot-ridden tentacle.
At this moment, Tu Tri saw that "Mother" was using ink to draw her eyes, moving around, as if she was thinking about something. She had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, in the next moment, "Mother" had prepared the food properly and brought over a bowl of food.
"We don't eat liver, we eat dumplings. Be good and tell me your favorite is pork and cabbage stuffing." "Mother" brought a bowl of steaming hot "Dumplings" that was still being whispered to be steamed in front of Tu Tri.
Tu Tri saw that the so-called dumplings were actually a bunch of little toads, with strange horns on their bodies that sucked the toads.
She must be crazy to eat this stuff.
"I still haven't eaten or drunk anything. Dad, Mom, you all go out and leave me alone." Tu Tri said.
The two paper people used unfocused, ink-painted eyes to glance at each other, then mechanically and stiffly nodded their heads.
"Okay!" The group of them exclaimed together. Then they walked away with strange footsteps, and closed the door with kindness, like truly caring parents.
Confirming that the two paper people had left, Tu Tri then fell paralyzed on the bed, gasping for breath. The scene that had just happened was too terrifying, and also too crazy, it had overturned her previous understanding of this world.
What the hell happened, why did my parents turn into paper people, and even entice me to eat maggots, tentacles, toads, and other disgusting things.
Tu Tri shook his head, took several deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down. Along with searching for the cause, it was better to leave this place, go see if the outside world was normal, and then look for help.
Tu Tri stood up, stretched her joints a bit, and walked towards the window. Her house was on the second floor, she could jump out the window directly.
Just after walking a few steps, another row of blood red words appeared before his eyes:
[If you continuously refuse 'its' food three times, 'its' will become suspicious and will use coercive means to force you to eat.]
Tu Tri felt nervous inside, "Father" "Yang liver mixed noodles" once, "Mother" "Dumplings" once, she had already refused twice.
Yin Hong Zi's words, if she refuses one more time, she will be beaten.
Just as Tu Tri was mentally forcing himself to pour maggots into the paper man, a voice came from the window, "Little Tri sister, can you see?"
This voice was extremely cute and milky, but Tu Tri felt her scalp go numb. Because she saw that outside the window at this moment, a small paper person was changing direction.
"Nini, is that you? Where are you?" Tu Tri said anxiously, she stretched out her hands, haphazardly and confusedly probing forward. "Nini" closely sized her up, as if trying to determine whether she really couldn't see, or was just acting.
"Little sister, so you still can't see." "Nini" said with a disappointed voice. "I'm upstairs talking to you, don't worry."
Tu Tri heard that, let out a long sigh of relief, her expression immediately relaxed. But at the same time, her heart became more tense.
"Nini" is guarding outside the window, don't even think about running out the window. Could she only rush to the living room and then escape through the main door?
No way, "Father" and "Mother" are still waiting for her to eat.
"Nini ah." Tu Tri searched the original owner Tu Tri's memory, "Didn't you play hide and seek with Xiao Dung and Xiao Mei and the others today?"
From Tri's thoughts, if "Nini" wanted to properly act out the role of the real Nini, could she imitate her actions? For example, every evening, she would go find her little friends to play with.
As long as "Nini" leaves, she will have a chance to escape.
"Wait a moment." "Nini" said in a childish voice, "Little sister Zhi, I came to find you."
"I got a lollipop. I'll give this lollipop to you to eat. Hehe."
"It's delicious, you like strawberry flavor the most."
"Nini" said as she reached out, picked her head off, and took out a claw-like thing from her paper-made neck, and passed it to Tu Tri.
The thing was getting closer and closer to Tu Tri. Tu Tri clearly saw that it was a large spider half the size of a hand, with its entire body covered in ash black, its eight legs covered with dense suction cups, and its shaggy back was covered with strange compound eyes.
Tu Tri:!
Help!
Who are you, where are you, what should you do now
