"Thank you. If it weren't for you, Lena and I might have..."

"No need to say more, madam. This is not a place for you. Take your child and go home."

"Thank you."

...

Choosing to enter the game again, Wang Wenfei mentally prepared herself, telling herself to focus on patrolling no matter what. Finally, after many attempts, she got a role similar to Lu Xiaoxiao's, patrolling outside and saving the little girl who was almost strangled to death by Dulleson.

She escorted the somewhat disheveled but unharmed mother and daughter away from the Dewey Manor.

And Dewey, when the illusion was about to shatter because the master of the illusion's wish had been fulfilled, she saw Dewey again.

This time, the mother and daughter left with a white light behind them, which made Wang Wenfei feel relieved.

It was then that she finally noticed Dewey standing beside her. She stood at the entrance of the manor, wearing a glamorous and elegant evening dress, watching the mother and daughter leave, just like her.

"Are you leaving too?" Wang Wenfei asked unnecessarily.

"No need."

Dewey declined Wang Wenfei's suggestion with a fake smile. Her eyes were charming, but like a fleeting firework in the sky, only boundless silence remained after the amazing beauty.

"Since this place is named after me, I should be its master." Dewey turned and walked towards the dark depths of the courtyard. Wang Wenfei wanted to reach out to stop her, but she was forced out of the game by a prompt that it was over.

Lying in the game pod, Wang Wenfei couldn't calm down for a long time.

The reason why she had played "Mrs. Dewey's Manor" so many times before was because she wanted to give Mary and her daughter a happy ending.

It was a beautiful ending where the mother and daughter didn't meet after being bruised and battered to death, but rather saw through all the truth, survived, left the place, and returned to a plain life.

And now, having finally fulfilled all these wishes, she had even more wishes.

She wanted to give Dewey, who had once fallen into darkness but was still kind and helped Mary, a happy ending.

However, there seemed to be limitations in the game.

The other party's final destination was always there...

For several days after "Mrs. Dewey's Manor," Mingmei didn't play any other games.

On the one hand, there was too much classwork and homework. On the other hand, "Mrs. Dewey's Manor" still had a strong lingering effect.

Afterward, she also went online to the forum to read many analyses of the game.

She also enjoyed reading some people's fan works.

Just last night, someone finally cleared a storyline that had been discovered but never fully completed—the story of choosing to continue patrolling and saving Lena.

Previously, some players had accidentally played it, but then got stuck trying to protect Mary and her daughter from Dulleson's pursuit and safely get them out of the manor.

Yesterday, a player finally uploaded the complete storyline.

Seeing Mary's claret-colored dress still unstained by blood, Lena still a rosy-cheeked little human cutie, and the mother and daughter leaving the manor together happily, many players burst into tears.

[Wuwuwu, although I know these are illusions created by the dead Lena for Mary, this damn ending still healed me QAQ!]

[Bullshit, I haven't seen the original plot, I don't have the eye of God, ah ha ha ha, I just want to say they didn't die, they went home happily together ha ha ha ha!]

[Another one has gone crazy, okay, take me with you, dog head!]

[Does no one feel sad that Dewey is standing alone at the door of the manor at the end? In this storyline, as long as the player helps Mary and her daughter avoid Dulleson's pursuit and leave safely, Dulleson is still Dulleson, the Mary mother and daughter leave, and the dirty things that happened in the manor will still happen...]

[Stop talking, wuwuwu, I'm obviously not the chopping board, why am I getting the knife?]

[I'm really shuan Q, coming in to swallow knives late at night!]

[Knowing that you have to swallow fast enough, the knife won't kill me! Come on, who's afraid of who?!]

...

Mingmei felt like everyone else in the forum late at night, staying up late to swallow knives!

She was really awesome!

Relying on the fact that she had a day off tomorrow, she dared to blatantly stay up late surfing the Internet.

She had just said goodnight to Mu Chen a second ago, and the next second she was lying in bed, her whole face illuminated by the screen of her optical computer in the darkness.

"Meimei is still not sleeping so late!"

Unfortunately, her wish to stay up late surfing the Internet quietly alone was also doomed to fail.

When Yan Hui's late-night video call came in, Mingmei wanted to curse herself for being so quick to answer without thinking.

The video call projected, Mingmei turned on the lights in the room and saw her two uncles slurping spicy hot pot late at night.

Looking at their background, it seemed to be their family's spicy hot pot chain store.

She just didn't know which store they were eating at so late.

"It's Xiaoshi Spicy Hot Pot Federal No. 1 Store in the Federal Capital Star. It's already off-work hours. I specially asked Mingsong to make it for us!"

As if seeing the puzzled expression on Mingmei's face, Yan Hui specially explained it and also filmed his wronged nephew cooking spicy hot pot in the back kitchen.

Ming Song noticed the camera and immediately put on a professional fake smile.

Mingmei: ...

Poor nephew.

He had clearly been promoted to management, but in the middle of the night, he was still called up by two elders who didn't respect their age to make spicy hot pot. How pitiful.

"Uncle, why are you two eating so late?"

"Too busy? I stayed in the dissection room all day, didn't drink a drop of water, let alone eat anything." Yan Hui immediately started selling his misery, and the face that had just been smug because he had eaten spicy hot pot immediately turned into a pitiful, weak, and helpless look.

It made Mingmei really want to say, "Drink more hot water."

"Uncle, why did you go to a dissection room on a business trip?" Mingmei asked, subtly probing the truth of their trip.

"The Zerg are causing trouble."

Probably because the matter was done, Yan Hui wasn't as secretive as before.

However, this matter couldn't be explained clearly in a video call.

"After your Uncle Ruanruan and I have sorted things out, we will send them to the family group. Remember to sign for it then."

"Oh."

Mingmei didn't expect that what her uncle called "sorted out" was compressing and packaging a research report with hundreds of thousands of pictures and texts and sending it into the group.

So much so that Mingmei was completely dumbfounded when she saw the compressed package report later!

"By the way, I remember you seem to have a day off tomorrow, right? You can leave the school. Remember to sign for the Federal specialties that your Uncle Ruanruan and I bought for you. Just go to the Central Starport to pick them up then."

"Wait... what is it that can't be delivered directly to the door and requires me to pick it up at the port?"

Mingmei was stunned. What couldn't be solved by a courier now?

"Ah, well... it's inconvenient. Call your dad and bring your ID, you'll probably have to register then."

Mingmei: ???
