System [I am in a horror dungeon]

The two went to another room, which was a study room. There were two bookshelves in it, filled with books. On one bookshelf were some professional books, all about medicine, psychology and finance. Several spaces were empty, probably taken by the little boy to his room. On the other bookshelf were some famous novels. Judging from the traces, some horror and suspense books were the most read, and they were placed in the bottom four rows, just the right height for the little boy to reach.

"Chu Lingxian, if you look at it this way, this family doesn't seem to be in any particular difficulty. It's a two-story loft house with one bedroom, one living room, two bathrooms, a study, and balconies in the front and back. It's not very credible to say that they can't make ends meet."

"Indeed. The layout, decoration, and furniture of this room are not ordinary. It is hard to believe that their family is in financial difficulty. Then why does Lu Nanxing keep saying that his family is in financial difficulty and can't even afford to eat?"

"on purpose?"

Lu Nanyin also laughed when she said this. Why did she deliberately say that her family was in financial difficulty?

But Chu Lingxian felt that she was right. She did it on purpose. Why? To encourage her son to work hard? Or to confuse her husband and make him stop gambling?

Lu Nanyin felt that the second possibility was more likely. After all, he was a compulsive gambler who would beat up men when he was drunk. Everyone would want to get rid of him.

After a while, it was dark outside and the sun was about to set. Xiao Wei came back with his schoolbag, said hello to his mother, and went upstairs to his room.

Lu Nanxing was cooking dinner. She responded to him, watched him go upstairs and close the door, then returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

"She's been in the kitchen all afternoon. What takes so long?"

"I don't know. Maybe there are some dishes that need to be prepared."

The two of them didn't notice that Lu Nanxing in the kitchen took a bag of powder of unknown substance and sprinkled it into the dish with an expressionless face, then added seasonings, stirred evenly, and served it on the table.

"Xiaowei, it's time to eat, come down quickly."

"Got it, Mom, I'll be right there."

The first thing Xiao Wei did when he entered the room was to drag out the cage containing the kitten and stab the knife in his hand into the kitten's body again and again. The kitten kept struggling. When he heard his mother calling him to eat, he put the kitten back into the cage and went downstairs.

Chu Lingxian smelled blood, and the two of them came to the door of Xiaowei's room. When he went downstairs, they slipped in and saw the dying kitten under the bed at a glance.

The two men went over immediately and checked the kitten's injuries. There were several knife wounds in the kitten's internal organs, causing severe internal bleeding. It was beyond help.

The kitten looked at them, with curiosity and more of a plea for help in its eyes. Looking at the kitten's eyes, Lu Nanyin thought of the little steamed bun from before.

She searched the space and all she could take out was the life powder she got in the last round. She didn't know if it would be useful to the kitten.

Seeing Lu Nanyin taking out the medicine powder, Chu Lingxian did not stop her. Instead, she looked around the room. The window was open, but the screen was closed. If they had enough strength, they should be able to open it.

Lu Nanyin sprinkled the powder on the kitten's wound. After a while, the kitten's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The kitten licked the previously injured area and it no longer hurt or bled.

He fed the kitten some more powder and then said to it, "Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi, please don't make any noise, okay?"

The kitten seemed to understand what she said and knew that she was doing it for its own good, so it swallowed the powder obediently without saying a word.

There was a puppy in another cage. Lu Nanyin gave the remaining medicine to the puppy. The puppy was well behaved and obedient, lying there without making any noise.

After doing all this, she had no more medicine powder left, but she didn't feel bad because she had used it where it was needed.

"This way."

Chu Lingxian climbed onto the windowsill at some point, but now she couldn't open the screen window with her own strength.

Lu Nanyin couldn't get onto the windowsill, so the kitten put her on its back and then jumped onto the windowsill.

Then the two of them and the kitten opened the screen window and looked down. They found that they were on the second floor. The kitten jumped down easily.

At this moment, the sound of broken porcelain came from downstairs, and Xiaowei's roar: "Why? I..." Xiaowei covered his stomach. Now his stomach seemed to be twisted together and he was in excruciating pain.

Lu Nanxing looked at her and also covered her stomach. She also ate that dish, but not much, so she could still hold on for a while.

She sneered: "Everything has a cause and an effect. You can only get such an effect if you sow the cause."

She laughed until tears came out, and looked upstairs. "Did you think no one would find the things under your bed? Or did you think I wouldn't do anything to you? Don't forget, you are not my child. I have waited for so long, and now I can finally avenge my daughter. Even if I die, I will be satisfied."

The kitten led the two to the stairs. The Dai kitten was still afraid of what had happened and was afraid of Xiao Wei, so he was reluctant to go down.

"Chu Lingxian, should we... call the police?"

Chu Lingxian seemed not to hear her words. She just stared at Lu Nanxing, feeling that there were some things they didn't understand.

It was not until Xiaowei's breathing became rapid that Lu Nanxing endured the severe pain and calmly dialed the number. After Xiaowei fell down, he dialed the number, called the emergency number, explained the reason, and then fell down.

At this time, the kitten slowly went downstairs and stood not far from the two of them, watching. After a long time when neither of them moved, the kitten approached them.

Blood was flowing from the corners of Xiao Wei's mouth and nostrils. He stared at Lu Nanxing with his eyes wide open. Chu Lingxian pressed the pulse on his neck, but found that he had no breathing and no heartbeat. Even if a doctor came, it would probably be too late to save him.

As for Lu Nanxing, her eyes were moist as she stared at the ceiling. She vaguely saw a little man walking towards her and saying something. She forced a smile, "Xiao Wei, mommy... avenged you... ahem... punished... this devil, and we can be reunited now."

Lu Nanyin watched Lu Nanxing's mouth opening and closing as if she was saying something. She wanted to move closer to listen, but was afraid that she would scare her. She only moved a little closer and didn't hear clearly what she said. She could only see her closing her eyes with a regretless smile.

"Chu Lingxian, what did she just say?"

"She just said that she had avenged her daughter and punished the devil, and that they could be reunited now."

"...That's it."
