"Alzheimer's?"
Although Su Zimo has no elders who have changed into dementia after getting old, but he knows that when his grandfather enters old age, he starts learning computers and various minority languages from scratch like a young man, just to avoid Alzheimer's disease. He hopes that he will remain awake until the last moment, which is also a very important point for the Su Group.
It is precisely because of this that Su Zimo knows how terrifying Alzheimer's disease, which is often seen in ordinary people's jokes, will become in the advanced stage.
The old man felt a significant loss of memory because of his illness. He would forget what happened yesterday, and he couldn't remember anything. Gradually, even looking at the people around him who had been with him for more than ten years or even decades, his mind began to shake.
With the decline in memory, the old man's judgment and understanding also began to decline, he couldn't keep up with what others said, and he forgot how to do the things he often did on weekdays. . In this way, the sick old man will make outsiders feel dumbfounded, as if he has suddenly become stupid.
But compared to forgetfulness and dementia, the most frightening thing is that some Alzheimer's patients will have very large mood swings. They may be drinking tea very calmly one minute ago, and the next second they can't control the big ones because of some small things. cry. Sometimes some patients who were originally optimistic and peaceful will become very easy to get angry, and it is not surprising that they fall into a violent mood because of some sesame and mung beans.
In short, taking care of such an elderly person is not an easy task for any family.
Even if it is to find a doctor... Ordinary drugs have little effect on patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease. Almost only some expensive trial drugs can be used, but the effect is only mediocre. It is better to make the elderly happy. In the environment of children and grandchildren around their knees, they enjoy their old age in peace.
But it seems that the Bai family living in this villa didn't think so. They placed the old man in a luxurious villa. In order not to make the villa look like a gorgeous cage, they arranged many servants and servants. A dedicated family doctor stayed in the villa to take care of the elderly who could not take care of themselves due to illness, and advanced enough funds to the housekeeper every month, so that he was responsible for managing the expenses of the elderly and various expensive medicines used by the family doctor.
The Bai family did not expect that the family doctor's housekeeper would go so far as to embezzle all the money that should have been spent on the old man for his own use.
Of course, the reason why the Bai family didn't find out may be because they didn't take the money to heart, or they spent the money to reassure them, until the housekeeper asked for an advance that was beyond the range of expenses, the Bai family was talented finally began to refuse.
But before the Bai family continued to discover anything, the butler must have stopped the fraudulent ledger, and instead sold all his treasured books without the old man having any resistance, leaving only some empty shells to hide their eyes and ears.
"But the old man doesn't seem to care about these complicated facts." Su Zimo quietly listened to Jin Lei's speculation this time, then looked at the messy hall and said, "He just wants to finish this unfinished banquet. That's it, every May 15th, I'm afraid it's the only chance for the old man to see his granddaughter."
Even through just a few short lines of "Notes on Lonely Mountain: Postscript", Su Zimo can feel the love of grandparents for grandchildren, which is no less than the relationship between Su Zimo and his grandfather.
"What should we do?" The madman spread his hands and looked at Su Zimo, "Could it be that the so-called chance of survival is as simple as completing the unfinished banquet?"
"Don't we still have our own identities?" Su Zimo waved the "Housekeeper's Self-cultivation" in his hand. Maybe it was because the poisonous snake happened so suddenly that everyone seemed to forget what they had just completed. role-playing tasks.
You know, the poisonous snake that was sleeping there was still wearing that "tight" maid outfit.
"Is this the role of role-playing?!" The madman slammed his forehead, "How stubborn is that old man, and at such a time, he has to urge people to role-play as a servant to prepare a banquet? When I woke up, I met Li Gui and got angry, wouldn't it be because the old man thought we were negligent in our duties, so he ran over to urge him?"
"Maybe this is the truth." Su Zimo said, and asked the lunatic, "Mr. lunatic, you seem to know something related to the banquet. Could you please tell us what to do?"
The madman did not refuse, but after looking around carefully, he said, "The most important thing now is to clean up the hall and rearrange the dining table, right? I remember that the dirty tableware was piled up in the corner over there. Now, after arranging it, it should be barely usable, as for the food... just use the supplies we bring with us, anyway, Specter can't really eat."
"There is a broom in the maid's room!" Qi Xiaomin hurriedly ran to the room inside, took the broom and dustpan out, grabbed it in her own hand, and shoved it directly into Du Xin's hand.
Liu Xu, who was wearing a chef's costume, didn't say a word, but silently walked towards the pile of discarded plates in the corner.
Everyone is wearing the clothes of the corresponding characters, everyone has joined the party preparing for the banquet, and everyone is sure that as long as the unfinished banquet is completed, they will be able to clear the level from this nightmare world!
But Su Zimo, who was standing there holding the professional book on housekeeping, suddenly had a very bad feeling. He always felt that there was something he hadn't considered, and that there were very important clues that had not been discovered.
What makes Su Zimo unbearable the most is that he knows that he is not a trainer, so why does he want to join the tasks of the trainers in the role of "housekeeper" now? Is it really okay to do this
"Su Zimo, what are you doing there?" Dr. Jin just found a stethoscope from the upstairs room, and patted Su Zimo on the shoulder as he passed by.
"After all, Mr. Su is the housekeeper, just watch us do it." Qi Xiaomin fanned the dust in front of his nose while continuing to clean the already dilapidated ground, coughing a few times from time to time.
"No, I just always feel like we're missing something."
"Oops!"
Almost at the moment when Su Zimo's tail sounded to the ground, that groggy feeling struck again, which meant that the practitioners were about to usher in their fourth night!
The survival time given by this nightmare world mission is five days. If the practitioners fall asleep again at this time, they will only have the last day!
And this day may be much shorter than twenty-four hours.
…
"What else is wrong?" Qi Xiaomin and Du Xin pulled the poisonous snake that was still sleeping in the maid's room back to the living room, and found that the other practitioners had also come out of their rooms and were sitting around the long dining table.
"That old man appeared in the dark just now. In order to urge us to set up a banquet, he almost bit my hand off!" Du Xin belongs to a relatively disadvantaged group among all the people, and he shares the same disadvantage with Qi Xiaomin and the sleeping poisonous tongue. Lying in a room, so their room received the most serious ghost attacks.
Everyone could see that Du Xin's hand was blue and purple, and he couldn't move his arm until now. If it wasn't for Liu Xu from the chef's room rushing over and punching away the Specter who could "cloak", Du Xin and the others would have been bad this time.
Su Zimo also held the metal pen tightly in his hand. Every time he woke up, the attack of the ghosts in the room would become more violent. If it weren't for the fact that the practitioners of this mission were hidden, maybe they didn't need to look for them. Any chance of survival can make the practitioners downsize at the moment of waking up.
"Don't worry, as long as you can pass the customs, everything will be fine." Although the practitioners continued to comfort themselves, they could see that everyone was overwhelmed with worries, and they didn't even care about the half-cleaned hall around them.
"Did we make a mistake?" Even Dr. Jin began to hesitate, "Is there really a chance to prepare a banquet?"
"All clues lead to this road, don't they?" Su Zimo put away the metal pen, "I can think of only one loophole."
"Vulnerability?" Hearing these two words, the eyes of the other testers focused again.
"It's the role we're playing now." Su Zimo looked at Du Xin and the others, who were wearing maid uniforms that didn't fit at all, and Liu Xu, who was wearing a chef's uniform as wide as a sack. "Is it correct?"
"Wrong?" The other practitioners were also a little stunned.
"Ah!" Dr. Jin seemed to suddenly remember something, and said clearly, "Our current role-playing identities are determined by the room where we woke up for the second time, but... that room also seems to have Alzheimer's disease. The old man is messing around? At first, I felt relieved and encouraged Cheng Yun to wear a maid outfit, but there seems to be something wrong. "
"Yeah, no one has ever said that the roles we play now are correct." Su Zimo lowered his head and pondered, "I even think the roles you need to play were decided when you entered this nightmare world. After all, you need to play roles. There are ten characters, and you are exactly ten… people…”
As Su Zimo spoke, his voice dropped.
After all, he was the eleventh outsider.
However, the other practitioners didn't seem to notice the mistakes in Su Zimo's words, and just said annoyed: "Then how can we know the correct identity? That old man probably couldn't throw us into the correct room for a lifetime. !"
"Attention... Mirror... "
At this time, in the silent hall, I suddenly remembered a timid voice that I had never heard before. The feeling that I did not dare to communicate with other people when I suppressed the voice came from hiding behind others before, but now my hands are tightly closed. Holding the little girl Wanling named "Broken Ghost" gardening shears.
"The mission said, pay attention to the mirror." When everyone's eyes converged, Wan Ling couldn't help but closed her eyes, and then she became fluent in what she wanted to express.
At that time, Su Zimo walked alone in front of the covered decorative mirror, considered the angle, and pulled the large tablecloth away at a very fast speed, then took a few steps back.
The strange thing is that Su Zimo didn't see the Specter that Xiaohuo said before in the mirror, but only saw himself who looked a little tired from fighting for several "days" in a row.
and nothing out of the ordinary.
After thinking about it, Su Zimo glanced at the movable bracket under the large mirror, and turned the mirror to the direction of the long dining table next to him, so that he could see the other practitioners sitting on the long dining table through the mirror. .
At that moment, everyone's body was completely stiff. They turned their heads to look at the picture in the mirror, but many people's faces became pale and fearful. The whispering voice said: "Su handsome guy, what are you doing... what a good thing... "
Su Zimo, who had been moving the mirror, knew that they must have seen something in the mirror, so he carefully walked away from one side of the mirror and slowly returned to the position of the practitioners on the other side of the long dining table.
He raised his head and looked at the mirror that was aligned in front of him...
There are no figures of ten sitting practitioners in the mirror at all!
Sitting there, it was clearly ten ferocious ghosts in uniforms covered in blood. When those ghosts turned their heads and looked at the practitioners, they rushed to the dining table and attacked everyone outside the mirror. !
