Chapter 30 "Fake!"
Next to the kitchen worktop.
Emma's fingers clenched the cold table knife, and the blade slowly slid along the edge of the can.
Whenever the bright red jam covered the tip of the knife, she would close her eyes slightly and lick the tip of the knife gently with an expression of great enjoyment.
In her previous home, her father would always prevent her from touching these sharp objects, but in her new home, she seems to have broken free from the constraints and can experience this fun without restraint.
However, this twisted pleasure did not last long.
A hand suddenly stretched out and quickly took the knife away from her hand.
Megan turned the handle of the knife to Emma and spoke in a rare serious tone, "As a good girl, you should know how to protect yourself and others in life and stay away from potential dangers. If you have anything you want to eat, you can tell me at any time. but."
She paused for a moment, then looked at Emma with an almost scanning attitude, and then, without hesitation, she took the can from Emma's hand and threw it directly into the trash can.
"Your sugar intake today has seriously exceeded the standard. For the sake of health, high-sugar foods will be classified as prohibited for the next 18 hours."
"restricted area?!"
Emma's brows furrowed, and her dissatisfaction quickly escalated into anger, "You are just a robot sent by my uncle to take care of me. What right do you have to decide what I should do?!"
"Now, go to the refrigerator and get me another jar of jam, Now!"
Realizing that the robot that had been so obedient to her actually dared to disobey her, Emma immediately pointed at the refrigerator and screamed.
Faced with all this, Meghan just smiled and shook her head, "My duty is to protect your physical and mental health and safety. Any instructions that may cause harm to you will be automatically blocked by my program."
".freak!"
Emma glared at Meghan for a long time, then found that she really had no response, and cursed secretly unwillingly.
Just then, a burst of curses from the bedroom upstairs broke the tense atmosphere in the kitchen.
"Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!"
Teddy carried the cruelly severed head of a teddy bear and ran down the stairs angrily!
After seeing this, Emma, who originally looked a little gloomy, gradually curled up into a sneer.
"Which of you did this?! You actually stuffed such a bloody thing into my quilt!"
Teddy slapped the teddy bear's head directly on the table and shouted dissatisfied: "Don't deny it, there are only so many people in the family, and there will be no one else but you!"
Megan picked up the teddy bear, scanned it, shook her head and said, "No other fingerprints were found except for yours. If someone didn't do it deliberately wearing gloves, then the only explanation is that you did it while sleepwalking."
"Waterfa? Sleepwalking?" Teddy looked confused. He didn't remember that he had this habit.
"Teddy, please allow me to remind you again," Megan said seriously: "Lango once told him not to say bad words in front of Emma. Your behavior is detrimental to the healthy physical and mental growth of the child."
"ShutupMeg!"
Teddy was not in the mood to listen to this cyber housekeeper's nagging now. He turned his gaze to Emma and asked tentatively: "Emma, did you do this?"
Emma glanced at the teddy bear with only one head on the table and said in a cold tone, "I never play with such things."
Teddy looked at Emma and saw that she looked calm and showed no signs of guilt, and the doubts in his heart could not help but diminish.
“It’s neither you nor Megan, could it be done by ghosts?!”
After the grumbling Teddy finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, then directly picked up the teddy bear on the table and turned away. His short legs alternated rapidly, and he didn't know where he went. Seeing his hurried figure, Emma wondered: "Where is he going again?"
Megan smiled and did not reveal any information. Instead, she lifted her schoolbag and warned her: "The school bus will arrive in less than five minutes. Good children should stand at the door now and wait quietly for it to come."
"."
Emma glanced at Megan, who always had that programmed smile on her face, then silently put her schoolbag on her back and walked towards the courtyard gate.
She had made up her mind that when her uncle came back, she would let him lift all the restrictions Megan had placed on her.
On the other side, Teddy has hurried to the basement.
He just remembered that not only was there really a ghost at home, but he also kept dozens of them as power banks.
Pushing open the basement door, Teddy glanced back. When he saw that Emma had not followed, he immediately closed the door and shouted: "Come out, come out, get out of here!"
After a few seconds, nothing changed in the basement, not even a ghost.
Teddy became even more unhappy when he saw this and said, "Don't blame me for not warning you. If you don't come out after I shout three times, I will ask Lango to increase your rent!"
"1"
This time, as soon as he finished speaking, dozens of heads protruded from the wall, like specimens hanging on the wall, densely packed and creepy.
Teddy suppressed his nausea, raised the head of the teddy bear and asked: "Which of you did this? Damn Fuck! You want to rebel as soon as Rango leaves, right?!"
Many earthbound spirits looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Lange had told them not to reveal themselves in the villa when he left.
How can they have the guts to do such tricks when they are under the roof?
Moira, the maid who had the closest relationship with Lango, said firmly: "We have never been out since Lango left. This matter was definitely not our fault."
"Dare you lie to me?"
Teddy didn't believe what they said at all, and directly threatened: "If you still don't admit it, then I can only ask Lango to double your rent again. Twelve deposits and one payment? It sounds like a good deal."
As soon as these words came out, the Earthbound Spirits who had only their heads exposed suddenly panicked and appeared in full form one after another, crowding the entire basement.
Their expressions were full of helplessness and pleading, and some even fell to their knees and swore to God that this matter had nothing to do with them.
After seeing this, Teddy couldn't bear it.
Looking at how miserable they were, they really didn't look like people who could do this.
"Then did you see who did it?" Teddy slowed down and asked again.
The numerous earth-bound spirits in front of me looked at me and I looked at you, but there was no reply for a long time.
Just when Teddy thought he would get nothing, an earthbound spirit dressed as a teenager raised his hand weakly and said, "When I sneaked out to get some air last night, I happened to see Miss Emma in the bedroom holding a The exact same teddy bear."
"And what?"
"And she stabbed the teddy bear over and over again with a table knife, shouting repeatedly and viciously: 'Get away from my uncle!'"
"Walter Falk?!"
