Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 276 Good Sister, Good Brother

"Oh, it's Brother Lu," He Lingling said.

Xu Han was interrupted by He Lingling as soon as he spoke.

"Shi Jiu might be being targeted."

He Lingling's face turned extremely pale, and she quickly voiced her suspicions:

"I suspect there's something seriously wrong with the young lady. As an important NPC in this instance, she shouldn't have such a strong liking for the players."

NPC favorability can indeed exist during the day.

Players can indeed gradually delve into the story from this point.

But the prerequisite is that the player has to "get hurt".

There is no clear standard for what constitutes an injury. It could be a physical injury, a psychological injury, or even a self-inflicted internal conflict caused by losing an argument with an NPC. All of these can be considered injuries.

Just like in "Aide Sanatorium", before Yu Shijiu became good friends with Xue Xue, Xue Xue had thought about "eating" Yu Shijiu more than once, and even threatened Yu Shijiu several times because of this.

This can also be considered a form of "player injury".

It's just that Yu Shijiu doesn't buy into that.

“But Miss is different.” He Lingling licked her lips, momentarily disregarding Lu Chusheng’s status, and began to tug at his clothes—

Before she even touched Lu Chusheng, he strode upstairs.

He Lingling pulled at nothing: "..."

She didn't seem to notice and continued in a low voice:

"The young lady's behavior is so strange. She seems like a good person, but her room is so close to her stepmother's... This proves that the young lady can't possibly be as 'good' as she appears."

It could be a disguise, or even a more malevolent face hidden beneath a friendly mask.

He Lingling: "I suspect she's in Yu Shijiu's room right now."

Lu Chusheng paused, but did not respond; he simply quickened his pace.

He did not doubt He Lingling's words.

The opponent's innate skills are the foundation of her survival in the Dawn game.

Moreover, Yu Shijiu and He Lingling are teammates now, so she has even less reason to lie.

The fact that He Lingling is so anxious now can only mean that Yu Shijiu is very likely in real danger.

Even if Xu Han was slow-witted, he could sense the danger from He Lingling's series of words and was instantly terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Didn't Shi Jiu say he was sleepy and wanted to go to sleep...?"

"Yes."

He Lingling closed her eyes and ran up to the second floor. She and Lu Chusheng then ran towards the door in the middle of the corridor.

She wasn't worried that Yu Shijiu wouldn't be able to control the situation.

She was just worried that if the young lady deceived Yu Shijiu in some strange way... Yu Shijiu might not be able to tell the difference.

After spending time together, He Lingling discovered that Yu Shijiu's perception in certain aspects was surprisingly simple.

No wonder Anjie talked to her for a long time before they entered the game.

Anjie said, "Lingling, once you go in, try to pay close attention to Shi Jiu's mental state. I suspect that his tendency to go crazy at the sight of blood was likely triggered later on."

"Try to keep him away from certain NPCs and players who are obviously preoccupied with something."

"Yu Shijiu is actually a very innocent child."

"..."

----------

As the last drop of blood fell from the young lady's fingertip, she finally smiled slowly.

When a smile appeared on his pale face, the coldness and gloom on his face seemed to dissipate considerably. She reached out and touched the boy's hair on the bed with a hint of pleasure, her voice hoarse and gentle:

"Good boy, little brother."

The young lady gently stroked the top of the boy's head, her expression a mixture of sighing and annoyance.

"If you continue to be so obedient, I might consider—"

A thin, pale hand suddenly grasped her hand.

The young lady's pupils widened instantly.

She looked away in shock and met the gaze of the boy who had opened his eyes on the bed, his face covered with half-dried blood droplets.

"Wow."

The well-behaved and adorable boy tilted his head, and the soft pillow beneath him sank slightly with his movement.

"If I continue to behave, what will you do, sister?"

The young woman tried to pull her wrist away from her grasp—but she couldn't.

She stared nervously at Yu Shijiu's still-lying body, blinked frantically, and then quickly reached behind her with her left hand, which wasn't being held.

The next second, a huge pair of shears, used for pruning branches and leaves, appeared out of thin air and stabbed at the boy on the bed.

The young lady's usually expressionless face was now twisted and terrifying.

She murmured to the boy on the bed, "It's not my fault! It's not my fault! Don't worry, I won't kill you... I won't kill you..."

I just need you to be a little more obedient.

The moment the giant scissors appeared, Yu Shijiu's heart began to pound.

Great.

It finally appeared.

It appeared so quickly.

Yu Shijiu's gaze followed the figure of the giant scissors, and finally leaned against the wall just as the scissors were about to land on his shoulder.

Under the strong inertial pull, the young lady, who had not broken free of her wrist, was dragged in front of Yu Shijiu and her wrist bone was broken in an extremely twisted position.

click-

Despite the intense pain, the young lady, still in human form, let out a terrible scream, writhing in agony, yet continuing to viciously stab Yu Shijiu with the large scissors.

She could have stopped.

Yu Shijiu thought.

Considering the large pair of scissors that the young lady was about to own, and the fact that she had helped him that morning... he didn't really want to confront her.

If only the young lady hadn't come to his room.

Yu Shi felt somewhat disappointed.

He looked at the young lady who still didn't "cherish" the "chance" he had given her.

"Sister, you have disappointed me so much."

Yu Shijiu sighed, then threw away his limp wrist and dodged the unusually fierce pair of scissors.

The large scissors were plunged hard into the bed he had just lain on, embedding themselves in the bed frame due to the excessive force.

Yu Shijiu couldn't help but show a hint of heartache.

This big pair of scissors will be his soon, so he can't break it.

Miss:"……"

She didn't realize Yu Shijiu's greed; she only felt that she was being looked down upon.

Yes, I was looked down upon.

This is the first time, the first time, that young lady's identity has been exposed so quickly!

Why did you wake up?!

The young woman shook her broken wrist, the excruciating pain causing her to burst into tears, which mingled with the intense malice in her eyes.

“You could have stayed asleep. If you had stayed asleep, we could have been a good brother and sister…”

"?"

Yu Shijiu looked up in surprise upon hearing this, "We're good younger brother and older sister now too."

The young lady froze in place, the large scissors she was holding high.

"what?"

“I said,” Yu Shijiu, standing barefoot on the ground, patiently repeated:

"We can be good older sister and good younger brother now!"

Aren't they already like that?
