PFC Chapter 288 Vitamin Tablets
Chapter 288 Vitamin Tablets
The blog did not reveal the blogger's identity, and some people in the comments section asked the blogger how they knew the blogger was Lin Wen's boyfriend.
The other party did not explain, only saying believe it or not.
Yan Xun scrolled down the blog and found a conversation with a master in the middle.
Me: My girlfriend knows that person.
[Master: It's not surprising that you're from the same school.]
[Me: Are you serious? People can really change their own names?]
[Me: My luck has been terrible ever since I started university. Maybe someone's been sucking away my luck.]
[Master: This possibility cannot be ruled out. Do you have anyone you suspect?]
【I have.】
[Me: They were nobody at first; if I hadn't struck up a conversation with them, they would have been nobody.]
[Me: I've seen those things, they were very ordinary. Did they steal my luck?]
[Me: What should I do?]
[Master: Has your girlfriend met any xqd (a derogatory term for a person seeking sexual harassment)? Has she had much contact with him?]
Me: Not much.
[Me: Did he steal my luck?]
[Me: You said he had a menacing aura.]
[Me: Is it him?]
[Master: You haven't had any contact with him, so it shouldn't be him.]
Me: We've met before.
Me: I saw him at the bar.
[Master: You've only met him once. There are so many people in the bar, he won't bother you.]
[Me: How could that be? But my luck definitely went downhill after I met him.]
[Me: I just remembered, after my girlfriend told me about him, I couldn't write anything anymore.]
You: Then kill him.
[You: Didn't you always think this kid was gloomy? Didn't you always suspect he had a crush on Lin Wen?]
[Me: How can you be so heartless? When did I ever say that? I just felt that his few instances of specifically thanking Lin Wen seemed deliberate.]
[You: Is it my heart, or is that what you really think? You know the answer yourself. You can fool others, but you can't fool me.]
[Me: Shut up!! You're annoying!]
The conversation seemed to match the information Fang Shuo had revealed about his conversation with the master, but the recorded text was far less calm than he appeared in the chat.
There was even a "you" in the conversation.
"Xie Qingdu and Lin Wen have frequent contact?" Yan Xun asked curiously.
“It must be Fang Shuo’s imagination,” Lou Yanchuan said. “At that time, they were not on the same campus. At most, Xie Qingdu would occasionally see Lin Wen when he came to the old campus and thank her.”
"Although Lin Wen didn't say it, she must have helped Xie Qingdu with the poverty subsidy."
It's rare for Xie Qingdu to encounter a kind person who helps him, so it's normal for him to express his gratitude.
Yan Xun felt that Lou Yanchuan's guess was not unreasonable, "But who are you?"
"It's possible that Fang Shuo is exhibiting some symptoms of schizophrenia," Lou Yanchuan said. "Of course, this is just a guess."
“He suspected Xie Qingdu and Lin Wen’s relationship, but he couldn’t show it, so Fang Shuo pointed out his thoughts.” Lou Yanchuan looked at Yan Xun. “Besides him, who else would have known he would suspect Xie Qingdu like this?”
As long as you don't pursue the hidden quests, Yan Xun thinks the difficulty of this dungeon is probably around C level.
The events happening in houses with roofs of the same color are similar. Even if players can't find clues in their own house, they can search in other houses with roofs of the same color.
"The instance is a 15-day survival instance. It seems there won't be any new rules or strange phenomena over the weekend," Yan Xun said. "So, the weekend is a good time for players to search for clues?"
"The first monster they saw on that foggy day was Kong Ling transformed into a dog-headed man."
"Perhaps all of our neighbors will turn into monsters on foggy days."
He already knows the secret of the Cun Tou family, and he has some clues about Fang Shuo and Du Yun's families. However, he still lacks some clues about Shu Fan and his own family.
The most difficult thing about Yan Xun's family is that his parents keep their mouths shut.
Shuangshuang, who only reveals a little information, is a primary school student and knows only limited things.
Lou Yanchuan lives abroad most of the year and is unaware of many details.
And he himself lacked all his memories.
In the dungeon, whether it's players or NPCs, they will all find new memories after triggering plot points, except for Yan Xun himself.
No matter what clues he found, his memory was a blank, as if he had lost his memory during that time.
Thinking of this, Yan Xun frowned. "Could there be some kind of amnesia spell in this instance that deliberately hides my memories?"
Otherwise, he couldn't think of a reason why he alone couldn't find new memories.
Duan Songen knew that he had worked at Anxin Sanatorium, Shu Fan knew Kong Ling, not to mention Du Yun and others.
Lou Yanchuan, who lived in the same family as him, also remembered some things from the past.
Only Yan Xun himself doesn't remember anything.
His memory was completely blank, except for the information he knew when he first entered the instance.
It's like everyone else in the game is constantly opening new memory capsules, while his own capsule remains blank, as if his memories hold some great secret that he cannot know.
……
That evening, Yan Xun was in his bedroom when he heard a knock on the door.
"It's me." It was her mother's voice from outside.
Yan Xun walked over and opened the door, seeing his mother holding white pills and a glass of water.
"Vitamin tablets," Mom said.
"Remember to eat."
Yan Xun reached out and took it, but his mother showed no sign of leaving.
Yan Xun knew that she wanted to see him swallow the pill in front of her. He picked up the pill, put it in his mouth, and then drank a few sips of water, letting his mother see him swallow...
Only then was her mother relieved. She took the water cup from Yan Xun and said, "Go to bed early. Don't stay up late even during summer vacation."
Yan Xun nodded, looking at his mother, "Why do you only give me food at night...?"
"Vitamin tablets?"
"I was busy taking your sister out this morning and forgot." The mother's expression was natural, as if she didn't find anything strange about it.
"Then give me the vitamin pills, and I'll remember to take them on time," Yan Xun said.
"You forgot? The doctor only prescribed one pill, saying it's not good to take too many," Mom said. "I'll give you a new one next month."
She spoke as if it were perfectly natural, seemingly not seeing anything wrong with needing a doctor to prescribe vitamin pills once a month.
—It seems she has said this countless times, and Yan Xun has never questioned it.
"Did Mom go out today to get my vitamin pills?" Yan Xun asked.
Mom smiled and said, "It's on my way."
Holding the glass, she added, "Go to bed early, don't stay up late."
After saying that, she picked up the glass and left the third floor without Yan Xun's notice.
When his mother left, Yan Xun spat out the pills he had hidden under his tongue.
He looked at the pill on his fingertip and felt a rare sense of absurdity... In this scenario, he felt it would be logical for his mother to bring him a cup of talisman water.
After confirming that his mother had left, Yan Xun went down the stairs to the first floor and tried to knock on Lou Yanchuan's door.
"The door is unlocked."
Lou Yanchuan's voice came from inside the room.
Yan Xun opened the door and entered, only to see Lou Yanchuan sitting on the bed. Lou Yanchuan looked surprised to see Yan Xun enter. "Is something the matter?"
He glanced at the time. "Coming to see me so late."
Yan Xun closed the door, went to the edge of the bed, and plopped down.
Then reach out.
"Look." Yan Xun gestured for Lou Yanchuan to look at the pill on his fingertip.
"This is?"
"My mom just came upstairs and handed it to me." He recounted the events in detail, not missing a single detail. "She said it's vitamin pills, prescribed by the doctor once a month."
"You believe it?"
"It seems that the me in the instance believes this statement."
Yan Xun said, "Because she said it so matter-of-factly, as if it were some kind of truth."
"Then it seems the version of you in the dungeon isn't very smart," Lou Yanchuan said.
"Don't take this opportunity to launch a personal attack," Yan Xun warned.
"I just checked my email and found an email exchange from many years ago." Lou Yanchuan changed the subject. "I don't know who was on the other end, but in the email, I complained about something in an incredulous tone."
Yan Xun gave him a questioning look.
“I told them that my brother and sister-in-law had actually had a baby,” Lou Yanchuan said. “They didn’t tell me at all. When I got home, I suddenly found out that I had a nephew.”
"...Isn't that surprising?" Yan Xun pondered. "If you hadn't been home for several years and suddenly saw that your brother and sister-in-law had a child, you would probably be shocked in the same way."
“Yes, but we can still look for some details,” Lou Yanchuan said. “Your reply to my email also reflects your thoughts.”
"I said it was a miracle."
"I didn't reveal any more details, but I described in detail the shock I felt when I got home and found that I had a new nephew."
"In the email, I said that my brother and sister-in-law were also very happy."
“I asked my brother and sister-in-law what my nephew’s name was, and he said it was Yan Xun, and he took your mother’s surname.”
“But the brother I remember was a complete chauvinist.” Lou Yanchuan looked at Yan Xun. “That’s why I thought he was an old-fashioned person and I couldn’t talk to him.”
"So in the email, I also expressed my joy at my brother's change of mindset, feeling that it was a sign that he was slowly changing."
“But Yan Xun…” Lou Yanchuan looked at Yan Xun, “You know a person doesn’t suddenly change.”
What do you think changed his mind?
Yan Xun understood Lou Yanchuan's meaning.
From the other party's email records, Lou Yanchuan saw the confusion about his brother's sudden pregnancy. This confusion and surprise stemmed more from the question: why did his brother and sister-in-law suddenly have a child?
"Do you think your brother has some hidden health problem? Is that why the two of them can't have a new life?" Yan Xun asked directly.
"We haven't found any evidence for this part, so we can only make inferences," Lou Yanchuan said.
Yan Xun understood that Lou Yanchuan was thinking the same thing. "If that's the case, then there should be some medical diagnosis records or reports from back then at home."
Where would this thing be hidden?
Yan Xun thought about it and realized that a storage room was unlikely.
The only possible place is probably in the parents' bedroom.
If their deductions are true, then what is Yan Xun? An adopted child?
Yan Xun looked at the pill on her fingertip. "Mom said the doctor prescribes these vitamin pills for me every month."
"Is the date on the calendar the day she went to see the doctor?"
He held up the pill in his hand, examining it carefully. Although he didn't know what it was, it was clearly not a vitamin pill.
……
The next day, Yan Xun woke up at 10 a.m.
He slowly walked down to the first floor. "No new mail?"
He asked his parents, who were sitting at the dining table.
"No." Dad turned a page of the newspaper. "It seems there won't be any new notices over the weekend."
He looked at Yan Xun and said, "We're going to the amusement park. Remember to watch the house."
"An amusement park?" Yan Xun asked.
"Shuangshuang saw the amusement park flyer yesterday," her mother sighed. "She said she wants to go."
Yan Xun pulled out a chair and sat down. "Can't I go?"
“Yan Xun, you’ve grown up,” Dad said. “Besides, there’s a haunted house in that amusement park, isn’t that what you’re most afraid of?”
"We only managed to buy three tickets," Mom said again, looking at Yan Xun apologetically. "Next time."
Yan Xun was not surprised by this result at all.
Based on his previous guess, the players' activity areas could only be within the community, at most to the convenience store at the entrance, and they couldn't go anywhere else.
“Okay, I’ll watch the house,” Yan Xun said nonchalantly.
Soon, Shuangshuang rushed downstairs like a cannonball, urging her parents, "Hurry up, hurry up, the amusement park is about to close."
“It’s only 10 o’clock. No amusement park closes this early,” Dad said, putting down his newspaper. “But you really should eat breakfast soon.”
Shuangshuang stopped talking and just stuffed bread into her mouth, glancing at Yan Xun with her eyes every now and then.
Finally, she swallowed the bread in her mouth. "Brother, aren't you going?"
“I’m not going,” Yan Xun said.
Shuangshuang looked a little disappointed, but didn't say much. The joy of going to the amusement park had already made her forget about everything else.
Around 10:30, the three of them left. "There's food in the refrigerator in the kitchen," Mom instructed. "You can also go to the convenience store near the entrance to buy something."
Yan Xun stood at the door. "I know."
He waved to them, "Goodbye."
Yan Xun closed the door only after the three had completely left.
He walked through the living room to Lou Yanchuan's room and knocked on the door three times.
"Come in," Lou Yanchuan said.
Yan Xun opened the door. "Keep an eye on things for me."
I'm going to their bedroom.
Seeing Lou Yanchuan roll up his sleeves, he asked curiously, "What were you doing just now?"
"Change the water." Lou Yanchuan wiped the water droplets from his hands. "Change the water for the goldfish."
Yan Xun looked at the half-open bathroom door. "You're still keeping them in the pool?"
"There's nowhere else to raise them besides here," Lou Yanchuan said. "Anyway, we'll be leaving the instance soon."
Would you mind if I went to take a look?
"Why would I mind if you caught the goldfish?"
Yan Xun discovered that this was Lou Yanchuan's flaw; he either loved to speak in riddles or asked rhetorical questions. He simply assumed it was Lou Yanchuan's habit... He walked straight to the bathroom, pushed open the half-closed door, and immediately saw the white goldfish slowly swimming in the pool.
The white goldfish looks to be in good condition, at least better than Shuangshuang's goldfish.
"How is it?" Lou Yanchuan asked.
Are you satisfied?
"Not bad." Yan Xun turned around. "It seems this goldfish won't die anytime soon."
