I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror Chapter 25 Grandpa Hanging by a Thread?

I must say, aside from being a bit remote, the village was very comfortable, both in scenery and air quality.

Walking was too boring, so Shinjiro willingly gave up control and let Jiang Xiao take over again.

The houses in the village were not close together, with the nearest neighbors likely a two-minute walk apart.

Strange layout~

After about fifteen minutes on foot, Jiang Xiao was brought by three little girls to the front of a small red brick building.

Jiang Xiao pushed open the wooden door and was greeted by the sight of an old-fashioned rural hall.

"You're back!"

"Dad, what you should say is 'I'm back,' right?"

Bai Yi corrected her father's grammatical mistake once again.

He glanced around the environnt that t his eyes.

Cent floor, whitewashed walls.

There were so old black and grey oil stains on the wall, and overhead was a ceiling fan from the Great Wall brand covered in dust.

The furnishings inside the hall were even more simplistic.

A wooden dining table, a few stools, and so sacks of rice and flour piled up in the corner of the room.

Oh, and there was also a big old-fashioned color TV and a Little Tyrant ga console.

It was already ti for lunch.

Jiang Xiao could hear clanging sounds and the aromatic scent of cooking oil coming from the kitchen.

Upon hearing the noise outside, a sowhat cold woman's voice ca from the kitchen.

"Xiao Yi, is your dad back? Dinner will be ready soon, go boil so water."

"Mhm! But Xi Tang and Shi Shi want to fight over dad!"

"It's okay, you are all mama's good daughters, there's no need to fight over anything. Whether it's looking after one or three, it's all the sa."

Jiang Xiao was a bit stunned. Was this Analog Horror?

The stream's chat also began to question the difficulty of the ga.

[Sothing's not right, why is it so harmonious?]

[It's not like the creepy scenes I was imagining...]

[Yeah, I thought it would start with a sinister old house or a strange villa.]

[Exactly! Then in the kitchen, there would be human limbs, an entire family with pale, dead faces, and spirit tablets being set up in the hall—now that would be a Kaidan!]

[Ugh... You can't just look at the surface, rember how the chosen one from the Land of Spirit died because he only saw the surface?]

That was true.

Couldn't let appearances deceive him, after all, it was a seven-star Kaidan. It shouldn't be so easy.

"Dad! You go upstairs first and help grandpa take his dicine."

"Grandpa lives in the room furthest out on the second floor, dad, you shouldn't enter the other rooms~"

Shi Shi handed Jiang Xiao so dicine bottles, each marked with the dosage.

"Why doesn't Shi Shi go feed grandpa his dicine?"

Jiang Xiao didn't want to go, and was trying to push the chore onto soone else.

But upon saying this, the expressions on the three little girls' faces changed in an instant.

In their eyes, Jiang Xiao could actually see resistance and fear.

This grandpa was probably no good.

What normally scares sothing creepy is sothing even creepier~

[Rule one: You will play a devoted father who fulfills every request of his children.]

"Because Shi Shi doesn't like grandpa... Is that reason enough?"

"Bai Yi hates grandpa. Do you want Bai Yi to hate you..?"

"Dad, Xi Tang doesn't feel like killing you just yet, but we hope you will be obedient."

Hate grandpa?

The voice from the kitchen changed as well, becoming hoarse and muffled.

"Xiao Yi! Is our new dad being disobedient again? If so... shall we change our dinner to eating dad?"

"Ha ha ha, oh Mrs. Nagger, I'm just teasing Shi Shi for a bit, I'm at my wits' end with you~"

Taking the dicine bottles from Shi Shi's hand, Jiang Xiao went upstairs.

The expressions on the little girls' faces finally reverted to their original sweetness.

A perfect illustration of how flipping faces can be faster than flipping a book.

But other than Jiang Xiao, there were indeed no other chosen ones dare enough to reject the requests of their children.

[I feel like if it wasn't for Jiang Xiao's high affection with the little girls, he might have been gone just now.]

[Yeah, this ti the little girls even explained to him; rember the ones before who didn't get the chance were just gone straight away.]

[That's true, looks like it might be important to raise our affection with these kids in this ga...]

The people from other countries camping out in the Dragon Country live stream imdiately reported this piece of news.

"What? Is that even a thing? Raising affection with children? Damn cunning."

The Pri Minister of Sakura Country, stroking his chin, hesitated about whether to disclose this information to ichuan Neiku.

But with only two opportunities to pass on ssages in this Kaidan, every piece of information had to be used to its fullest potential.

Because of this, a large portion of Sakura Country's parliant suggested holding onto this ssage.

Waiting until the next ti they got so other valuable information so they could pass them on together.

Thinking it over, the Pri Minister felt that seed sensible.

After all, with the Five-limb Substitute Death Technique, even if ichuan Neiku died once, it wouldn't be too bad.

```

Might as well wait for next ti and deliver two ssages together, maximize the benefits!

Many countries chose the sa approach as Sakura Country, all believing that this ssage wasn't particularly important.

Of course, so countries imdiately passed the ssage on to their Chosen Ones.

Upon receiving this ssage, many Chosen Ones were left with faces full of question marks.

What are you talking about?

Increase my rapport with these kids?

Just seeing these creepy children freaks out!

And you want to improve my feelings toward them?!

Even the Chosen Ones who knew about this ssage could only play it by ear.

The most important thing right now was to survive!

By now, Jiang Xiao had reached the door of the outermost room on the second floor.

'Knock knock knock~'

He knocked, but there was no response from inside.

"Dad, I've co to bring you your dicine."

Inside there was a long silence.

'Knock knock knock~'

Still no reply.

Goddamnit, what kind of aloof act are you putting on?

Jiang Xiao pushed the door and entered.

The scene before him made him pause.

The first thing he saw was an old man lying on a white wooden bed.

But in terrible condition!

This so-called grandfather seed to have less than half a life left in him?

The old man had many tubes chaotically inserted into him, aside from the oxygen mask on his face.

The whole room was filled with a rancid stench of rotten flesh,

but mainly, there was a black mist swirling around the old man's chest.

This mist was the most direct source of contamination in Analog Horror.

Once a Chosen One made contact, they would beco infected by the mist and turn into sothing eerie.

Seeing Jiang Xiao co in, the old man turned his head toward him revealing a ghastly smile, seemingly trying to say sothing.

But because of a tracheotomy tube in his neck, he could only make a 'heh heh' sound.

This is freaking disgusting, Jiang Xiao frowned in disapproval.

There wasn't a bit of flesh on the face, just a layer of dried up, moisture-deprived old skin.

Interesting~

Such an unsettling old monster living upstairs, no wonder Shi Shi and the others didn't dare co up.

"Dad, I've co to give you your dicine."

Jiang Xiao tried to keep his posture low, removing the oxygen mask from the old man's mouth.

However, the old man was clearly unappreciative, his mouth tightly closed, staring at Jiang Xiao with a malicious gaze.

"Be good, open your mouth, I'm doing this for your own good."

Jiang Xiao was still patient, persuading the old man to take his dicine as soon as possible.

Is this still Jiang Xiao?

The comnts couldn't believe it; when had Jiang Xiao ever been so gentle?

[What's happening?]

[This seems normal, but why does it look so strange when it's Jiang Xiao doing it?]

[Has Jiang Xiao recovered from his ntal illness?]

[Impossible! With such a severe illness, there's no way he would have recovered in just a few days.]

[Er, Jiang Xiao acting normal is a good thing for us, right?]

[But I feel like unless sothing unexpected happens...]

Jiang Xiao, after a lot of coaxing, realized that not only did the old man have no intention of taking his dicine, but his lips kept moving, mumbling sothing.

"Dad, are you unable to speak?"

The old man didn't respond, just staring intensely at Jiang Xiao with his eyes rolling back.

"Alright, I get it, Old Bideng, you old fart want to kill , right?"

The old man grinned sinisterly, nodding while licking his cracked lips.

Without a mont's hesitation!

'Slap!'

Jiang Xiao swung a hefty backhand that sent the tube flying off the old man's neck!

The old man was smacked so hard he stared at Jiang Xiao in disbelief.

"What the hell are you looking at? The fuck, you can't speak and still dare to be so arrogant to your dad? Who do you think you are acting all high and mighty in front of ?"

Seemingly unsatisfied, Jiang Xiao lifted his palm-fan-sized hand and gave him another combo of backhands to the left and right!

'Slap slap!!!'

The old man's nosebleed was wrenched out with an "ow," and his head buzzed.

You have to realize that Jiang Xiao's strength now was at 16, far surpassing normal human limits.

With these slaps, he almost smashed the old geezer's brain to pieces!
