Zhu Yan pondered softly for a moment.
The specific details of these people's family relationships were not provided by the Nightmare Bookstore.
In other words, Zhu Yan didn't know the interaction dynamics of Feng Yaozu's family, nor did he know what details might expose his disguise.
Under these circumstances...
Zhu Yan raised his eyes and glanced at the bleak, gray apartment building.
With a thought, in the next moment, he had transformed into the appearance of "Feng Qiang"!
The female voice had previously prompted him to collect "enough meat for 5 people."
In this family, the one who came out to collect supplies today was Feng Qiang.
Therefore, disguising himself as "Feng Qiang" to enter the house first and deliver the meat was the safest approach.
Zhu Yan lowered his eyes and pushed the door. The main door was locked tight and didn't budge.
"Player, the instance begins in 9 minutes and 50 seconds."
The female voice dutifully issued the prompt by his ear.
"Please enter Room 803 of the apartment building as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."
9 minutes and 50 seconds. There was enough time.
Previously, in the Cannibal House Landlord instance, Zhu Yan had already discovered that instance scenes could be entered early.
The Cannibal House Landlord instance seemed to have involved a lot of operation, but in reality, it ended less than a minute after it officially began.
This "Family Feast" instance was the same.
Outside the building door was an electronic intercom.
Zhu Yan reached out, pressed the "Call Guard" button, and quietly listened to the long dialing tones.
Things like family upbringing are passed down through generations.
He had seen how his aunt raised her son; it should be quite similar to how Wang Lanhua raised Feng Yaozu.
Later, the difficulty of disguising himself as "Feng Yaozu" would be much lower for him.
"Hello? What do you want?"
The call was answered, and a muffled voice came from the other end.
"Room 803," Zhu Yan imitated Feng Qiang's tone. "Owner Feng Qiang, I forgot my keys."
The person on the other end didn't waste words with him. Accompanied by a "beep" prompt, the main door clicked and popped open.
Zhu Yan pushed the door open and walked into the somewhat narrow corridor.
A faint, stuffy odor of decay lingered in the corridor.
Zhu Yan pressed the elevator button and checked the details on his disguise once more.
"Feng Qiang" would enter first and put the meat inside.
Then he would test the reactions of Wang Lanhua and Li Mei to further determine their interaction dynamics with Feng Yaozu.
After that, he would find an excuse to come back out, disguise himself as "Feng Yaozu," enter again, and find a way to trigger the start of the family feast!
He just didn't know who the other two participants of this family feast were...
Ding.
The elevator doors opened.
Zhu Yan inspected his appearance one last time. After confirming there were no mistakes, he walked up to the iron door of 803 and rudely knocked a rapid series of bangs.
"Open the door!" Zhu Yan shouted in Feng Qiang's voice.
He usually knocked three times, but he guessed Feng Qiang wouldn't be so polite.
"I'm back!"
The sound of things being set down came from inside, followed by hurried footsteps.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?!"
It was a somewhat shrill female voice.
The next second, the door was jerked open from the inside.
A short, chubby woman stood at the door. Her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips all drooped downwards. Her lips were pale, making her look both weak and mean.
There were deep, knife-like wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. It was definitely Wang Lanhua.
"What's the meaning of knocking like that?!"
Zhu Yan felt relieved.
Just like Feng Qiang in the previous instance, Wang Lanhua in this instance also hadn't received an advance notification of the instance.
Wearing "Feng Qiang's" face, Zhu Yan pulled a long face and stepped into the room.
"Take off your shoes!" Wang Lanhua suddenly shouted.
"Why do you have so many bad habits today?! I gave you a son, what right do you have to give me attitude?!"
Holy shit.
Zhu Yan was startled by her.
How could his aunt's mother be even more hysterical than his aunt?
Well, that didn't matter.
Zhu Yan quickly grasped two of Wang Lanhua's personality traits.
Favoring sons over daughters, and being detail-oriented.
"Oh, my son doesn't have to change his shoes, so why do I have to?"
Zhu Yan's mind spun as he began to fish for details about Feng Yaozu.
He kicked off his shoes, slipped into the slippers Wang Lanhua threw over, and cursed under his breath.
"Are you the same as your son?!" Wang Lanhua scolded. "Where's the meat?! Why are you empty-handed? Where's the meat our son wants to eat?!"
Whenever Zhu Yan faced this kind of tone, he felt as if all his strength had been drained.
He absentmindedly observed his surroundings and noticed another woman in the kitchen.
This woman was about the same age as his aunt, but she looked much younger than his aunt had this morning. With jet-black hair and snow-white skin, she was meekly chopping a piece of ginger.
This should be Li Mei.
Wang Lanhua jabbed Zhu Yan in the ribs, hurting him so much he bent over.
"He was clamoring for meat this morning. If you don't bring out the good stuff, what if he comes back from the instance hungry?!"
Damn it.
Zhu Yan immediately made a mental note of this grudge.
It's not a gentleman's way to leave a grudge unavenged.
This wretched woman, he was going to jab her in the ribs three times!
"What meat? Our son even told me this morning that he wanted to eat human flesh. Is that the meat you're talking about?"
This was actually the truth.
What did Feng Yaozu say when he was alive?
That he was going to kill Zhu Yan and eat his flesh!
Wang Lanhua suddenly fell silent.
She glanced back alertly, yanked Zhu Yan further into the room, and slammed the door shut with a "bang."
"Is your damn brain broken?!"
Wang Lanhua lowered her voice, her expression exasperated.
"What's wrong with you?! Trying to drag me down with you?!"
"If it weren't for my ability, could you touch the money in other people's bank cards? Let me tell you, you better take it easy and humor me a bit!"
Zhu Yan felt that the logic in these sentences was somewhat jumbled.
This woman seemed to lack brains.
He glanced at Wang Lanhua and said, "Get a basin. Our son wants to eat human organs, and I managed to dig out three sets today."
Wang Lanhua slapped her thigh. "Oh, you old fool, why would we need so many?"
Saying so, she happily trotted into the kitchen and grabbed two huge iron basins.
Right before stepping out, Wang Lanhua's gaze swept over Li Mei, and a trace of visible disgust flashed across her face.
"Put them in here."
With a thought, Zhu Yan activated his ability "Telekinesis."
He waved his hand, and the organs of Feng Qiang and Feng Yaozu slipped wetly from his hands, splatting into the basins.
It was a disgusting sensation; the things were even still emitting steam.
Zhu Yan lowered his eyes, hiding the disgust in his gaze.
He recalled Wang Lanhua's disgusted expression just now and asked in a low voice, "What's up with that woman Li Mei again?"
"What else could it be." Wang Lanhua lowered her voice and rolled her eyes.
"You know our Yaozu's ability, he can even drain Feng Yuan, but he just can't drain Li Mei."
Wait.
Holy shit.
Zhu Yan felt like he had just stumbled upon some juicy gossip.
Wang Lanhua and Feng Qiang knew that their biological daughter was being drained?
"That bitch Li Mei, if it weren't for her ability still being somewhat useful to keep us safe, we would have done away with her sooner or later."
Wang Lanhua leaned in close, winking and making faces.
"Didn't we pick out those two girls from our relatives' family for our son a few days ago? Their folks are all dead now, so they've got no one looking out for them."
"They're both coming over today. Make sure you prepare that meat properly—don't let any of that foul, bloody stench come through."
"I'll slip a little something into their drinks. Tonight, our Yaozu is going to get a proper nourishing!"
