Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 264 Hug your thighs tightly

For some reason, the young master suddenly dared not utter a sound.

After he fell silent, the atmosphere at the table instantly became much more peaceful, with only the clinking of bowls and chopsticks being heard.

As for Yu Shijiu... he naturally lowered his head and buried himself in his food once again.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He looked up at the boy whose eyes were squinted into slits as he ate, and his memories of the boy became clearer and clearer.

The time period I remember was when I had just started university... Did I already know Yu Shijiu back then? Or did we meet through Lai Bao/Feifei...?

So here's the problem: someone with such a distinct personality like Yu Shijiu shouldn't have no memories of her, but she really didn't know her before entering this game instance...

For the first time, Captain Lu felt that there might be something wrong with his brain.

To be precise, it's a memory problem.

He lacked a memory of Yu Shijiu.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why he only feels that Yu Shijiu looks familiar, but has no memory of the other person in his mind... And as it stands, Yu Shijiu doesn't seem to have any memory of him either.

Forget it.

Lu Chusheng lowered his head slightly, just as he was about to take a steamed bun, the player next to him quickly handed him a nutritionally balanced sandwich and milk.

Lu Chusheng tilted his head slightly.

Ah Yuan, who was next to him, whispered ingratiatingly, "Captain Lu, have some of this. It was just made, it's fresh and nutritious."

Not wanting to miss any opportunity to gain favor, A-Yuan exchanged a glance with his teammate sitting opposite him, and at the same time, he mentally cheered himself up.

If you want to live longer, you have to be willing to be a follower!

A Yuan had long understood this principle when he was a corporate slave in real life.

Try to please your boss and get a raise!

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He looked at the breakfast being handed to him, and the words he wanted to say about refusing disappeared in his throat when he saw A Yuan's eyes, which were full of flattery and pleading.

"……Thanks."

Captain Lu, as expected, couldn't escape his kind heart and accepted the breakfast.

A Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He opened and closed his sweaty palms under the table and wiped them on his body.

That's great! Lu Chusheng didn't refuse, which means my chances of survival have increased a little.

The teammates sitting opposite him wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, exchanged glances with A Yuan, and finally lowered their heads to eat their breakfast with peace of mind.

Lu Chu noticed the eye contact between A Yuan beside him and several players opposite him, but he didn't show it.

...They all just want to live.

Lu Chusheng thought quietly.

Everyone in the Dawn Game who still has even a sliver of hope for the future wants to live long enough to earn a million points and leave the game.

Better to die than live.

This is the mindset of most people... People like Yu Shijiu, who seem to be living day by day, are far too few.

This was the first time the young master had left after finishing breakfast.

Before leaving, he glanced down at Yu Shijiu, and then rushed towards the stairs the moment she looked up.

Yu Shijiu, who only saw a blur after looking up, was speechless.

He blinked in confusion, then skillfully took the milk handed to him by the lady next to him and took a sip.

Why does the young master look so strange?

Doesn't he have no memory of being stabbed by himself last night?

Seeing this, A Yuan whispered, "How strange, why does the young master look like he's hiding from someone?"

Lu Chusheng, who knew the inside story: "..."

He pursed his lips slightly and said casually, "Maybe he's scared."

After all, he killed someone, and that person was his own stepmother. It's only natural for him to be scared and run away.

The captain of a certain inspection team seemed to have forgotten that the "murderer" who had stabbed the young master countless times in front of him last night was still sitting there drinking milk.

A Yuan was stunned for a second, somewhat confused.

Scared?

What is the young master afraid of? What does he have to be afraid of?

A-Yuan suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened in horror.

The young master is afraid, but why is he afraid? Is it because he did something wrong? Or... did he actually kill his stepmother?

A Yuan was terrified by his own guess, but he quickly memorized it and prepared to discuss with his teammates how likely it was that "the young master killed his stepmother".

Sure enough, clinging to powerful figures really works!

A Yuan secretly glanced at Lu Chusheng, who was eating bread next to her, and her rapidly beating heart relaxed a little.

After everyone finished eating, Xu Han was the first to want to talk to Yu Shijiu, but He Lingling pulled him back.

"Don't go for now."

He Lingling looked at the young lady who was holding onto Yu Shijiu's hand tightly not far away with complicated eyes.

"Let him chat with the young lady more."

Xu Han was stunned: "...But, but NPCs and players—"

"Alright, alright!"

He Lingling rolled her eyes: "I know, I know! Do they look like they're dating?! Are you sure you're not putting your head and butt on backwards?"

Xu Han's face crumpled in grievance: "...I really didn't mean that."

"Then let's hurry up and go out for a stroll, and..." He Lingling glanced at the players scattered around them, lowering her voice.

"Don't forget that Mr. Xiao will be back at noon."

Judging from yesterday's plot, Mr. Xiao seems to be the most normal NPC, but everything was fine in the villa before he left yesterday, and when he came back, he found that his wife and children were dead... It's uncertain whether Mr. Xiao can continue to be normal.

In He Lingling's view, if her wife and children had died... well, she would definitely call the police to tie up and interrogate all the players, including NPCs, who were suspected of being the murderers in the villa.

But this is a game.

We cannot treat it with the same perspective as in reality.

"Let's wander around first, and then we can come up with some excuses for ourselves."

Mr. Xiao, that was the first level of crisis, but the most terrifying crisis was at night.

Tonight's night will not be as peaceful as last night.

At the same time, after finishing his meal, Lu Chusheng put down his cup, glanced at Yu Shijiu and the young lady, one an NPC and the other aboard, and declined A Yuan's suggestion to go looking for clues together.

"Feel sorry."

Lu Chusheng nodded slightly and stood up: "I have some other things to verify."

A Yuan was reluctant to give up, but she still nodded.

----------

"Want to go for a walk in the yard together?"

The young lady asked Yu Shijiu in a low voice as he sat on a chair digesting his food, the roses in her arms still bright red and fresh.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu looked at her and couldn't help but let out a burp:

Are we going to the flower garden?

The young lady seemed amused by his hiccups and nodded, saying:

"Yes, the roses and other flowers over there are blooming beautifully, perfect for an after-dinner stroll."
