Chapter 246: Brothers 10

The two holes were circular and had irregular edges . Feng Bujue raised the lamp to study it . He noticed that there was a pillow-size space inside the wall, it was empty, but something seemed to be written on the layer of wood behind the wall . He used the wrench to knock away the wooden planks between the two holes to create one large hole . He pushed the lamp and then his own head in, but he still could see the words clearly . Only the topmost words were translated . It was a curse . The few sentences between it were as small as ants, and they looked like squiggly lines .

Feng Bujue understood that this was the place to use the magnifying glass . He pulled his head back from the hole . He used the magnifying glass to scan at the content . As he expected, he could see the translation of the words in his menu even if his eyes were so far away from the words themselves .

“Hakuna Matata!

“Ain’t no passing craze

“It means no worries

“For the rest of your days

“Yeah, sing it, kid!

“It’s our problem-free philosophy

“Hakuna Matata!”

There was a remark at the end of these lines . “A miraculous ancient African saying, will work every time . “

Feng Bujue finished reading the content and then slammed the magnifying glass onto the ground . “Are you kidding me! Miraculous your head! Have you lost your mind to put something like this in such a dark and fantastical setting? And what does it have to do with Africa? Are you seriously telling me that it was a blockage created by a curse and you actually need me to solve it using an African saying?

“And what does it have to do with the scenario earlier? If I kept the door closed, how would I have received this hint? Would I open the door to a boar and a mongoose singing? What kind of setting is this? The scenario is so blindingly dull, the sound effects are bizarrely loud, and there is a sh*t like smell everywhere… The world’s setting is unknown, there are strange setups everywhere, and the puzzles are maddening . The rules change to the creator’s whim, and the hints are getting crazier and crazier!”

He roared and then took a long time to catch his breath . He cursed a lot . It seemed like Hakuna Matata had left a deep impression on him…

Ten minutes later, he calmed down again . He picked up his stuff and returned to the staircase and repeated the saying that he was shown . The magic circle flickered, and then came the sound of glass shattered . Several seconds later, this wall made up from meat collapsed like an avalanche…

Feng Bujue thought that after the spell was lifted, the meat wall would disappear into thin air . He did not expect this to happen . This surprised him as he was buried under the mountain of flesh . “Motherf*cker!”

He crawled out . He was lucky that his face was guarded, or else just the disgusting smell alone would have push him into another rampage .

Regardless, the path to the second floor had opened, and that was progress . Feng Bujue adjusted his emotions . Humming the ‘spell’ on his lips, he walked up the stairs . The layout of the second floor was slightly different from the ground floor . The area right above the foyer was a row of rooms while the rest looked the same . All the doors were closed . Feng Bujue was not in a hurry to explore . He followed the trail of blood on the ground to see where the synthetic creature from earlier had gone . He ended up before the room that was right above the ground floor foyer .

The appearance of this door was different from the other doors . The two door panels were metallic . Even an outsider could tell that this was an expensive metal; it was completely different to the cheap-looking and rusted steel doors in the basement . The door was more than 2 . 5 meters tall, and the upper edge of the door was close to the ceiling . The width was about as wide as the corridor itself .

“Hmm… This kind of size… is in consideration of the movement of the monster,” Feng Bujue said as he reached out to pull at the door handle . “Should have known it wouldn’t open . “

He had guessed that . One would enter this kind of room in the later part of the game . So, he returned to the staircase and started his search with the room closest to the staircase .

Feng Bujue was not under the effect of Death Warning, so there was a chance he might be killed once he opened the door . Thus, he opened the door carefully . He took out the iron rod from his inventory and used it check for traps . After doing all that, he raised the lamp and walked into it .

It was a bedroom, and it looked surprisingly clean . The bed was well made, and the sheets were folded . There was a photo frame on the bedside table, and two closets sat by the wall . Similar to ground floor, the windows were closed, and there was only darkness outside . There was a small flowerpot on the windowsill, which had nothing but soil . There were two rational explanations for this . First, the plant had decomposed; second, the plant had mutated into some kind of creature and walked out .

Feng Bujue walked to the bed and picked up the frame . In the photo frame was another faded picture . This time, there were three of them, two young boys about fifteen and a mother about forty . Like in the study, Feng Bujue looked at the picture for several seconds and a cinematic appeared .

There was lightning outside the window . It was a thundering night . Just inside this room, a young man with brown hair sat on the chair beside the bed . A woman was lying in bed . Her face was pale, and her eyes were sunken . The two held each other’s hands, and there were tears in the woman’s eyes .

“Arthur… there is something I have to tell you…”

“I know,” Arthur replied . “I am from the Xin clan . I am… adopted…”

After hearing that, the woman was silent for a few seconds . “No, you are my son . Even if I didn’t give birth to you…”

“Mom, of course, there is no need for you to say that . Of course, I am your son . I will always be your son . ” Arthur gripped his mother’s hand .

“You are very clever and strong . I don’t need to worry about you . You will always take care of yourself . ” The mother sighed . “But your little brother, he’s too kind and weak . He…”

“Don’t worry, mom, he is my only brother,” Arthur interrupted . “I will take good care of him . “

He lowered his head as he sank into sadness .

Lightning flashed once more . At that moment, the video gave Arthur’s side profile a close-up .

The young man was smiling…
