"Alzheimer's disease?"
Although Su Zimo didn't have elders with dementia in his old age, he knew that when grandpa stepped into old age, he learned computers and various niche languages from the beginning like a young man, just to avoid Alzheimer's disease. He hopes that he will remain sober until the last moment, which is also very important for the Su Group.
It is precisely because of this that Su Zimo knew how terrible Alzheimer's disease would become after the late stage of Alzheimer's disease.
The old man feels that his memory has obviously diminished because of his illness. Yesterday’s things will be forgotten today. I can’t remember it anymore. Even if I watch people who have been with me for more than ten years or even decades, I start to shake my mind.
With the decline in memory, the old man’s judgment and comprehension also began to decline. He couldn’t keep up with what others said, and he often forgot what to do on weekdays. He began to feel bored and negative about his hobbies and interests throughout his life. . In this way, the sick old man will make the outsiders feel dumbfounded, as if suddenly becomes silly.
But compared to forgetfulness and dementia, the most terrible thing is that some Alzheimer's patients have very large mood swings, and may be drinking tea very calmly a minute ago, and they can't control it because of some small things in the next second. Cry. Sometimes some patients who were originally optimistic and peaceful will become very angry, and it is not surprising that they are caught in anger because of some sesame and green beans.
In short, caring for such elderly people is not a simple matter for any family.
Even looking for a doctor... Ordinary drugs have little effect on patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease. The only drugs that can be used are some expensive trial drugs, but the effect is only mediocre. It is better to let the elderly happy Enjoy your old age in an environment where your children and grandchildren are around their knees.
But it seems that the Bai family who lived in this villa did not think so. They placed the old man in a luxurious villa. In order not to make the villa look like a gorgeous prison, they arranged many servants and A dedicated family doctor stays in the villa to take care of the elderly who cannot take care of himself because of illness, and advances enough funds every month to the housekeeper to make him responsible for managing the elderly's expenses and various expensive medicines used by the family doctor.
The Bai family did not expect that the house doctor of the family doctor would be embarrassed, and all the money that should have been used on the old man was used as his own.
Of course, the reason why the Bai family didn’t find it might be because they didn’t take the money in their minds, or spent the money to reassure them, until the housekeeper asked for an advance of expenses beyond the scope of their support. Finally began to refuse.
However, before the Bai family continued to discover anything, the housekeeper must have stopped the fraud of light and dark accounts, and instead sold all of his treasured books without any resistance from the old man, leaving only empty shells to hide his eyes and ears.
"But the old man didn't seem to care about these complicated facts." Su Zimo listened to Jin Lei's speculations quietly this time, then looked at the messy hall and said, "He just wanted to complete this unfinished banquet. Only, on May 15 of each year, I am afraid that the old man can only see his granddaughter.
Even through just a few lines of "The Notes of Gu Shan", Su Zimo can feel the kind of grandfather's love for his grandchildren, which is no less than Su Zimo's previous feelings with his grandfather.
"What should we do?" The madman spread his hands and looked at Su Zimo. "Is it the so-called first-line life, is it so simple to complete the unfinished banquet?"
"Don't we still have our own identities?" Su Zimo waved the "Butler's Self-cultivation" in his hand, perhaps because the poisonous snake happened too suddenly, everyone seems to forget what they just finished Role-playing tasks.
You know, the viper that was asleep there was still wearing that tight-fitting maid costume.
"Is this the role of role-playing?!" The madman slammed his forehead. "How stubborn is the old man. At this time, he must urge people to role-play to prepare for the banquet? Every time from the room." When I woke up, I met Li Gui and got angry. It wouldn't be that old man felt that we were neglecting our duties, so ran over and hurried?"
"Maybe this is the truth." Su Zimo said, and then asked the madman, "Mr. Madman, you seem to know something related to the banquet. Could you please tell us what to do?"
The maniac didn’t refuse, but after looking around for four weeks, he said,
The most important thing now is to clean up the hall and then rearrange the dining table? I remember those dirty dishes were piled up in the corner over there. Now, if it is sorted, it should be barely usable. If it’s food... just use the supplies we brought with us. Anyway, Li Gui can’t really eat."
"There is a broom in the maid's room!" Qi Xiaomin hurried to the room inside and took the broom and dustpan out, grasping it in his hand and stuffing it directly into Du Xin's hand.
Liu Xu, dressed in a chef's costume, didn't say a word, but silently walked to the pile of discarded plates in the corner.
Everyone wears the clothes of the corresponding character, everyone joins the party preparing for the banquet, everyone is convinced that as long as this unfinished banquet is completed, they can pass through this nightmare world!
But Su Zimo, who was standing there holding the professional butler's book, suddenly had a very bad feeling. He always felt that something had not been taken into consideration, and he always felt that very important clues had not been discovered.
What Su Zimo couldn't help but relieve was that he knew he wasn't a veteran, so why should he join the quest of the veterans with the role of "butler" now? Is this really no problem?
"Su Zimo, what are you doing there?" Dr. Jin just found a stethoscope from the room upstairs and patted Su Zimo's shoulder as he passed by.
"After all, Mr. Su is the housekeeper, just look at us and do it." Qi Xiaomin fanned the dust in front of his nose while continuing to clean the already broken ground, coughing from time to time.
"No, I just always feel that something has been ignored by us."
"bad!"
Almost at the moment when Su Zi's ink tail fell to the ground, the groggy feeling hit again, which means that the practitioners are about to usher in the fourth night!
The survival time given by this nightmare world mission is five days. If the trainers fall into a deep sleep again at this time, the time left for them will be the last day!
And this day may be much shorter than twenty-four hours.
...
"What's wrong?" Qi Xiaomin and Du Xin pulled the still-sleeping viper in the maid's room back to the living room, and found that other practitioners had also come out of their respective rooms and sat around the long dining table.
"The old man appeared in the darkness just now. In order to urge us to arrange the banquet, I almost broke my hand!" Du Xin belongs to a relatively weak group among all people, and with the same weak Qi Xiaomin and the sleeping tongue Lying in a room, so the ghost attack they received in that room was the worst.
Everyone can see that Du Xin has a large piece of purple on his hand, and he can't move his arm until now. If Liu Xu, who was not in the chef's room, rushed and punched away the fierce ghost who could "split", Du Xin would be worse this time.
Su Zimo also held a metal pen tightly in his hand. Every time he woke up, the fierce offensive in the room would become more violent. If it is not because the trainers of this mission are hiding all of them, maybe they do not need to find The first line of vitality can make the trainers reduce their staff at the moment they wake up.
"Relax, as long as you can pass the customs, everything will be fine." Although the practitioners continue to comfort themselves, they can see that everyone is worried, and they can't even care about the hall that has been cleaned halfway.
"Did we make a mistake?" Even Dr. Jin began to hesitate. "Are the first lines of life really preparing for the banquet?"
"All the clues lead to this path, don't you?" Su Zimo put the metal pens away. "There is only one loophole I can think of."
"Hole?" Hearing these two words, the eyes of other testers focused again.
"That's the role we are playing now." Su Zimo looked at Du Xin wearing a completely unfit maid costume, and Liu Xu wearing a sack-like chef uniform. "Is that correct?"
"Wrong?" Other practitioners were also a little stunned.
"Ah!" Dr. Jin suddenly seemed to remember something, and said clearly, "Our current role-playing identity is determined by the room where I woke up for the second time, but... that room also seems to be Alzheimer's. The old man with the disease is arrogant? At first, when he felt relieved, he encouraged Cheng Yun to wear a maid costume, but there seems to be something wrong."
"Yeah, no one has ever said that the role we play now is correct." Su Zimo bowed his head and thought, "I even think that the role you need to play is determined when you enter this nightmare world. After all, you need to play. Has ten characters, and you are exactly ten... people..."
Su Zimo said, and his voice fell.
After all, he is the eleventh outsider.
However, other practitioners did not seem to pay attention to the mistakes in Su Zimo's discourse, but just said annoyedly: "Then how can we know the correct identity? The old man may not be able to throw us into the right room after a lifetime." !"
"Attention... mirror..."
At this time, the quiet hall suddenly remembered a timid voice that I had never heard before. The feeling of suppressing the voice seemed to dare not communicate with other people. It came from hiding behind others before, but now tight in hands Holding the Wanling girl named "Broken Ghost" garden shears.
"The task says, pay attention to the mirror." When everyone's eyes came together, Wan Ling couldn't help closing his eyes, only to speak fluently.
Su Zimo walked alone to the covered decorative mirror at that time, considered the angle, and pulled the large table cloth directly at a very fast speed, and then took a few steps back.
The strange thing is that Su Zimo didn't see the ghosts that Xiaohuo said before in the mirror. What he saw was that he looked tired because of several days of battle.
There are no exceptions.
After thinking for a while, Su Zimo glanced at the movable bracket underneath this large mirror, and turned the mirror hard to the direction of the long dining table next to it, so that he could just see other practitioners sitting on the long dining table through the mirror. .
At that moment, everyone's body was completely stiff, they turned their heads to look at the picture in the mirror, but many people's faces began to become pale and fear, even seniors like madmen also tightened the muscles of the whole body, using almost The whispered voice said: "Handsome Su, what are you doing... what a good thing..."
Su Zimo, who had been moving the mirror, knew what they must have seen in the mirror, so carefully walked away from the side of the mirror and slowly returned to the position of the trainers on the other side of the long table.
He looked up and looked at the mirror in front...
There are no ten sitting practitioners in the mirror!
Sitting there, it was clearly ten fierce ghosts in uniforms all covered in blood. When the ghosts suddenly turned their heads and the trainers looked at them for a moment, they rushed to the dining table and rushed to the people outside the mirror. !
