Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 293 Don't meddle in things that aren't your business

The players who happened to witness the bribery scene on the screen were unusually silent at this moment.

They stared at the elderly housekeeper on the screen, who was carefully counting money with her head down and spitting on her fingers, and for the first time, they looked completely bewildered.

Honestly, they just randomly picked a live stream to watch, and they never expected to see a real-life version of "money makes the world go round".

"...Do you think if we do this again next time, we might live a little longer?"

"...I think we can give it a try."

"..."

Players who had figured out the new method regained their composure and clicked "follow" in the upper left corner of the couple's live stream.

Regardless of whether the other party is famous or not, the fact that the two of them could come up with the idea of ​​bribing monsters is enough to make them take notice.

Anyway, they don't lose anything.

As for how long the couple will live, and whether they can become players ranked on the leaderboard in their town... that has nothing to do with them.

Judging from the current situation, Liu Yao and Wang Han, two players who are timid yet sometimes daring, have indeed left an impression on many players.

For example, there's Wang Rui, a "rice weevil" who thinks about eating all kinds of instant noodles all day long.

She excitedly typed on the keyboard, contacting the players in charge of recruiting for the monitoring team.

[I've found an incredibly smart player!!! I should try recruiting them! I think they'll definitely activate their talent skill!!!]

----------

The next ten minutes after Mr. Xiao called the young master and young lady away.

Yu Shijiu, who had originally planned to go back to her room to rest, wandered around the second-floor corridor for a while. Finally, amidst the strange looks from many players who came back to their rooms, she stopped at the window at the end of the corridor.

It was said to be for moon gazing.

Other players: "..."

Do they look stupid?

Despite their complaints, the players quietly returned to their rooms, having no intention of "courting death" with Yu Shijiu.

Others may have the ability to court death, but if they recklessly do so, they are truly courting death...

Yu Shijiu didn't care about other people's opinions. He slowly pushed open the window in front of him and leaned out to look down.

—To be honest, there's nothing much to see, just some branches twisted in the dark and the occasional shrieking of birds.

This reminded Yu Shijiu of the bird he encountered when he first entered the game.

I didn't notice at the time, but now it seems that the bird was probably a "dead bird" too.

After all, its strange appearance and odd coloration made it completely different from the sparrows and other birds that occasionally land on the windowsills of sanatoriums.

Oh, it can still fly even after being pinched so hard its eyes roll back.

Yu Shijiu leaned lazily against the window, her thoughts in disarray. When she heard footsteps behind her, she didn't even flinch.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Chusheng's calm and indifferent voice rang in my ears.

The faint warmth emanating from the newcomer's body made Yu Shijiu subconsciously tense up.

He subtly stepped aside, only to find it had no effect.

"..." Yu Shijiu bit her lower lip in annoyance, but still didn't turn around.

"Didn't see anything."

Lu Chusheng didn't care about the impatience in the boy's tone. He looked up at the dark forest not far from the window and the shadowy birds that occasionally flapped their wings and took flight in the darkness.

There is no moon.

Lu Chusheng suddenly spoke up.

He gazed at the pale gray-black edge of the sky and said in a low voice, "We can admire the moon when we get back to town."

The moon is beautiful in town.

The game "Dawn" does this quite well; the different weather conditions and the starry sky, full moon, and half moon are not much different from the real-world scenery.

Even more beautiful.

"...I don't like moon gazing."

Yu Shijiu suddenly turned around, and he gave Lu Chusheng a wicked smile as Lu Chusheng looked at him with suspicion.

"The moon looks ugly. I hate this yellowish thing that keeps changing."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He remained silent for a few seconds, and just as Yu Shijiu was about to push him away, he suddenly spoke.

Do you remember things from the past clearly?

Ever since that dream last night, Lu Chusheng had felt that something was wrong.

If he and Yu Shijiu have known each other for a long time in real life... then why does Yu Shijiu seem completely unfamiliar with him?

It's impossible for both of them to have memory problems—

"clear."

Yu Shijiu's wicked smile faltered slightly. He keenly sensed the probing intent hidden in Lu Chusheng's words and frowned with displeasure.

"My memory is very clear."

He remembered all those gruesome memories stained with blood, the memories of not having enough to eat or wear in the sanatorium, and even the memory and feel of him cutting off Liang Guodong's head... He remembered them all clearly.

There's no need for Lu Chusheng to tentatively ask me if I have a problem with my brain.

"..."

Lu Chusheng almost immediately noticed that Yu Shijiu was not in a good mood. He realized that his words might have been misunderstood by her, and quickly explained:

That's not what I meant, I meant—

I don't care what you mean!

Yu Shijiu's round eyes were red-rimmed, and at some point, dense blood vessels filled the whites of his eyes again, as if he had been stimulated.

Lu Chusheng opened his mouth, somewhat annoyed.

Should he not have said that?

"Alright, Captain Lu, you should think about how to escape becoming the bride tomorrow. As for the rest," Yu Shijiu said coldly. He turned his head away from Lu Chusheng, but a smile habitually appeared on his lips.

"Don't meddle in things that aren't your business."

“Nosy person,” Yu Shijiu suddenly took a step forward.

Lu Chusheng was stunned and forgot to step back.

The boy who was close to him raised his head, and an endless aura of killing intent spread from the depths of his bloodshot eyes.

"He's going to die."

Yu Shijiu made a throat-slitting gesture towards Lu Chusheng's neck, then squeezed through the gap.

"..."

Unlike when going downstairs, the carpet in the hallway felt perfectly normal underfoot, just like a soft wool carpet. The previous sensation of blood oozing out when stepped on seemed to be just the player's illusion.

Yu Shijiu seemed oblivious to this. He stormed back to his bedroom, slamming the door shut and leaning against it, panting heavily.

This shouldn't be happening...

Yu Shijiu's brain was pounding rapidly. He tried hard to suppress his out-of-control emotions, but his eyes were still very red and even a little sore.

why?

Yu Shijiu didn't quite understand what was wrong with her.

Liang Guodong is clearly dead, so why would he still have such strong murderous intent towards him?

No, absolutely not.

Yu Shijiu closed his eyes, cold sweat trickling down his chin, his collar slipping down his skin, icy and shivering.

"It's Lu Chusheng's fault..."

"He shouldn't have asked me that for no reason..."

The dark room was eerily quiet.
