chapter 8
Footsteps sounded outside the door, “thump, thump, thump,” each step seemed to tread on my nerves, making my eardrums vibrate.
Sisi hurriedly threw herself into my arms, trying to squeeze out the Beheaded Big Boss lying there.
“Mommy, it’s Grandpa and Grandma coming back from the old home, don’t be afraid.”
The man refused to be outdone, remaining motionless. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately grabbed my hand, blushing as he repeated, “Don’t be afraid.”
What a pure-hearted Big Boss!
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Anyway, I can’t see clearly. If I can’t see clearly, I just treat them as normal people.
Instead, I’m actually looking forward to new NPCs coming online to help me clear the level.

Getting closer, I finally saw that Black Granny was incredibly thin, as if only a skeleton was holding up her clothes.
Not a single hair remained, her facial features blurred together, only her mouth opening and closing was clear.
Her exposed skin was completely charred, like freshly made charcoal.
If not for her voice, I really couldn’t tell she was a woman.
I hurriedly reached out with my other hand, grabbing Black Granny’s charcoal-like hand, and said with concern:
“Mom, how did your skin get so dry? Last night I made a cucumber mask myself, do you want to try it?”
Black Granny, who was cursing, froze for a moment, then stammered:
