My pupils shrank.
What? Has the security guard uncle come by? The coldness rose up from the soles of my feet again. I only felt despair spreading, even enveloping me.
But what I didn't know was what it meant for Dad to invite the security guard uncle over for tea.
"I just asked the security guard uncle to come to our house. I think I saw a mouse. I remember Mom is most afraid of mice."
I nervously came up with a lame excuse. I didn't know if they would believe it.
But if they didn't leave soon, my heart really couldn't take it anymore.
The sweat of fear on my body felt like I had just washed my hair.
Dad touched my head again. Then he stood up. I suddenly felt the atmosphere relax a lot.
I lowered my head and quietly took big breaths.
"It's okay, catching mice is Dad's specialty. However..."
The monster dad paused, and I heard a crisp sound as if from his hand, very subtle. But in this silent space, I heard it clearly.
I looked up and saw he was holding a cockroach in his hand. The cockroach was already crushed. But he had no intention of throwing it away.
Instead, he enjoyed watching the cockroach die in his hand.
As if to remind me that I was just like that cockroach. He could crush me at any time.
I instinctively protected my neck.
The monster dad comforted me like a child. Of course, I was indeed a child. However, the more he talked like this, the more I felt I was on the brink of death.
Finally, when it seemed like they had enjoyed my fear, the monster mom suggested going to bed. Only then did they plan to leave my room.
However, as they were about to leave my room, I smelled a strong smell of blood the moment the door opened.
I just glanced lightly and almost vomited.
I saw the head of the security guard uncle on the living room floor intact, but other parts looked like they had been twisted like a rag.
"Xiao Xi, what are you looking at?"
The monster mom's voice returned to gentleness. I could only shakily shake my head, forcing down the stomach acid that was about to come out.
The door stood wide open as they stood at the doorway, as if they wanted me to see that scene.
It was at this moment that the monster dad told me news that I couldn't have imagined.
It turned out that the monster mom's diagnosis report had reached the monster dad's hands. He glanced at it briefly and threw it on the ground.
"Xiao Xi, do you know that your grandmother has died?"
I lifted my head abruptly. I saw the monster dad's neck seemed like it was about to break, pressed very low. He didn't wait for me to answer, he took out his phone.
It said that Mrs. So-and-so had passed away, and they hoped all relatives and friends would come to pay their respects.
The relatives in the group chat also echoed it.
I looked incredulous. How could this be? Just the day before yesterday, I had seen grandma myself.
I recalled the scene where I saw grandma yesterday. The faint smell of dead rats on her hands.
And the part in the diagnosis report where only two living people were mentioned. I finally understood what it meant to have two living people.
It turned out that when she mentioned two living people, she included herself, but she was no longer one of the living.
The monster dad and mom seemed to enjoy my shocked look even more. Their faces even carried a smug smile. They then formally left my room.
I just collapsed on the ground. The diagnosis report lay right next to me.
I looked at the diagnosis report that brought me a glimmer of hope, and I directly picked it up wanting to tear it up.
But the next second, I realized something was wrong. The paper was slightly thicker, and it seemed like a layer could be torn off from the side.
Had grandma hidden a secret inside?
I carefully peeled off the thin layer. Grandma had left another sentence.
【Find your little brother, it will all end. I will wait for you in the hospital, Grandma will come look for you at 6 o'clock in the morning. Remember. You can only trust me right now.】
