Han Fei did not accept Chen Chen's mission immediately because now was not the time.
He had just logged in so he could not exit the game freely. If he was captured by Weep now, even death would be a luxury for him.
Actually, Han Fei had everything planned out. Before accepting the mission, he needed to complete another mission and stay in the game for 3 hours.
Then he could exit the game at any time, that would be a life-saving trump card.
Han Fei acted like he did not hear the voice in his mind. He helped Meng Si to a chair in the living room. "Granny, don't worry, I'll figure out a way to save Chen Chen later."
"I'm worried about you. To sacrifice another's happiness to save your own family, I really don't want to do that anymore!" The old lady appeared to be under great pressure. She felt like she was being tortured.
Han Fei picked up the hidden meaning in the old lady's words but he pretended not to understand. "You've just saved my life. Even a drop of water should be returned with a spring of water, much less a life-saving one!"
Seeing the sincerity on Han Fei's face, the granny slowly lowered her head. She seemed to be reminded of something from the past and there was guilt in her eyes. "You are a good child. Wait here for a moment, I'll go get something for you."
The old lady then entered the locked bedroom. She rummaged through the room for a while before coming out with a jade pendant that was mottled on the surface.
"Granny, there's nothing valuable at home. This small jade pendant was left behind by my mother. When I was young, I was afraid of walking at night. Wearing this makes me feel safer." The old lady handed the jade pendant to Han Fei. "If you don't wear this, I won't allow you to do something so dangerous."
Seeing the old lady's firm attitude, Han Fei reluctantly accepted the jade pendant.
When he touched the pendant, the voice in his mind appeared again.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've obtained Grade G Item — Meng Si's Amulet.
"Meng Si's Amulet (Grade G Normal Item): A amulet prepared by Meng Si's mother for Meng Si."
The introduction was short, Han Fei had no idea what the pendant could do. However, in his memory, most amulets could ward off evil spirits.
Han Fei was embarrassed to receive an item for free. "Granny, I won't argue with you. I'll accept this. Is there anything else you want me to do?"
"Nothing else."
"I'm really sorry for taking your things for free. Think about it again, any job is fine." Han Fei wished to receive another mission from Meng Si. "I noticed you've left the candle lit, did the fuse burn again? I'll help you fix it! "
"No, no, it's best not to turn on the lights now. Only the light from the fire can show Weep."
"Then let me help you tidy up the room! Sweep the floor, mop the floor, clean the windows, I'll do anything! " Han Fei used his actions to prove it. He did his best to help the old lady with the cleaning. He cleaned the places that the old lady normally could not clean.
At this moment, he gave off the feeling of being simple, hot-blooded, pure, and honest. Meng Si's friendliness towards him was also increasing.
The old lady's gaze softened as she watched Han Fei bustle about the house. Her expression softened like she was looking at her own grandson. "Why don't you come and chat with me? My children are all out of town. They haven't been home for a long time. The house is always so quiet."
"Notification for Player 0000! Meng Si's Favorability toward him had reached Friendly! Triggered Grade G Normal Mission: Listen and Accompany! Do you wish to accept the mission? "
Han Fei was waiting for this moment. He accepted the mission without hesitation.
Han Fei moved a chair over and sat down next to the old lady.
Initially, Meng Si was just talking about family matters but slowly, she was reminded of something that happened many years ago.
"There was once a woman who adopted three children due to various reasons. The eldest was the most honest. He was not a bad person but he was not a bad person.
"The second child was an abandoned baby that she found at the hospital. His face was slightly deformed but he was exceptionally clever. He was the kindest and kindest of the three brothers.
"The third child was very mischievous. His personality was completely different from the eldest and the second child. Whoever punched him, he would return the punch with a kick. Due to the fact that the third child often got into fights, the woman would always scold him. The child never argued back but the woman knew that the third child never thought he was wrong.
"Every time he was scolded by the woman, the third child would run out of the house. He liked to burn ants and break earthworms. Then he would watch from the side.
"Actually, whenever the third child ran out of the house, the woman would follow him silently. Of the three brothers, the one she loved the most was the third child and the one she worried about the most was the third child.
"The second child was very clever but he never showed it. Even if he could get full marks, he would purposely make it so that it was average in class. The third child was different, he was always number one. He was aggressive, hard on others but harder on himself.
"As the days passed, the three children grew up and became sensible. The woman thought she could live a good life but to her surprise, the second child and the third child fell in love with the same person.
"Of the three brothers, the second child was the first to marry. The woman could not understand why the second child with the deformed face would be the most popular.
"When the second child returned home for the wedding, the third child helped out in the kitchen. He single-handedly slaughtered all the chickens, ducks and fishes that were to be served at the wedding.
"The third child did not show up at the wedding and he did not speak to the second child.
"After returning home, everything returned to normal, and Third Brother's temper became a lot better. However, the woman had a bad feeling about this."
"Not long after that, the woman found the carcass of a crow inside the truck that the eldest used to transport the cold drinks.
The careless eldest did not think much of it but the woman felt something was wrong. She suspected that someone else had used the truck.
"That crow is like a bad omen."
The woman started to pay attention. She found bird feathers, animal fur and very small blood stains inside the truck.
"She cleaned and sanitized the truck again and again but not long after that, the thing would appear inside the truck again.
"She checked the GPS of the truck and realized that the truck had been tampered with and nothing could be seen. To find out, she asked a friend to install a very small GPS device inside the truck.
"Then the woman realized that the truck would always go a certain direction. One night, the three brothers did not return home. The woman decided to follow the truck to take a look.
"Based on the GPS, she came to the edge of the old city. When she entered an abandoned bungalow, she saw her three children fighting each other."
At this point, the old woman's voice shook. "She also saw a dead body lying not far away from the three children."
Without saying anything else, the old woman clutched her chest. She seemed to be in great pain.
Even Han Fei was shocked by the old man's words. He thought only one of the three brothers was the killer, he did not expect all three of them to be insiders!
