Chapter 244 Flowers
Chapter 244 Flowers
The lottery game featured almost no bloody scenes.
But the old housekeeper's face, which always wore a faint smile, still couldn't hide her strangeness.
He Lingling couldn't help but wonder if the events that happened after midnight were related to the room selection.
If there really is a connection, it's best to go back to your room as soon as possible.
Yu Shijiu nodded, "Okay, then I'll head back now. Oh, right," he suddenly remembered what the old housekeeper had said, and whispered:
"The housekeeper told us not to leave our rooms after midnight."
He Lingling's heart skipped a beat: "Did the housekeeper say that?"
“Yes.” Yu Shijiu nodded as she walked towards the door. “She said it herself.”
What NPCs say can be quite significant. In some cases, their words can even save a player's life... Of course, choosing to believe what NPCs say also means accepting the possibility that they might be lying.
After all, NPCs sometimes lie too.
However, judging from the current situation, the chances of the butler lying are not high, quite small.
He Lingling only snapped out of her reverie after Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng disappeared by the door.
She quickly turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up. A few minutes later, she jumped onto the bed, lay down, and closed her eyes.
Yes, the Xiao family is very wealthy; they even have a private bathroom in every room for convenient washing and grooming.
Xu Han, who witnessed her series of actions, was speechless.
"?????"
She just suddenly fell asleep?!
Xu Han stood there stunned for a few moments, glancing at He Lingling who had fallen asleep in an instant, before scratching his head and heading towards the washroom.
No way, is He Lingling really that tired?
Completely baffled, Xu Han felt that something was a little strange.
On the bed, He Lingling, who had already begun to fall into a nightmare, had cold sweat slowly seeping from her forehead and back.
------------
"Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?"
When Lu Chusheng uttered the same sentence for the third time in just over ten seconds, Yu Shijiu finally couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"No need, no need, Captain Lu!"
Yu Shijiu was still a little overwhelmed with emotion. He waved his hand, opened the door to his room, and sighed as he turned back to Lu Chusheng.
"I can manage on my own."
Lu Chusheng: "..."
His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched slightly for a moment and then relaxed: "Okay."
Lu Chusheng said instantly, "Remember to call me if you need anything."
Fortunately, the rooms the two stayed in were not far apart.
Yu Shijiu nodded quickly, turned around and closed the door tightly.
boom--
The sound of the door closing startled Lu Chusheng, who was still somewhat worried.
He unconsciously touched his chest, feeling a tightness and discomfort, but he didn't know why.
"Captain Lu!"
The door not far away opened again, revealing A Yuan's dark but handsome face. His expression instantly improved when he saw Lu Chusheng walking towards him.
"Captain Lu, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Ah Yuan lowered his voice and urged quickly, saying urgently, "It'll be midnight in one minute!"
Only one minute left?!
Upon hearing this, Lu Chusheng's brow twitched. Ignoring the inexplicable discomfort rising in his chest, he quickly walked toward the room where A Yuan was.
As Lu Chusheng entered the room, A Yuan's eyes turned red with anxiety. She quickly closed and locked the door, panting heavily.
Lu Chusheng lowered his eyes to look at him.
Panting heavily, A-Yuan lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly and explained:
"I'm sorry, Captain Lu, my emotions fluctuate a lot, and I tend to relax like this in safe areas. Don't worry, if something really happens, I definitely won't make a sound..."
While A Yuan was introducing himself at length, Lu Chusheng merely glanced at the clock on the wall that was pointing to twelve o'clock, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Go wash up first."
Lu Chusheng interrupted A Yuan and turned to walk quickly toward the bathroom.
If he's not mistaken, the game won't give players much time to rest.
"..."
A Yuan, who was interrupted, stood there stunned for a few seconds, and then belatedly realized what was going on. She quickly followed Lu Chusheng to wash up.
------------
The room assigned to Yu Shijiu in the game was very large.
It was a fairly large bedroom with two beds, one against the wall and the other against the window, separated by about two meters of space for walking. The beds were covered with clean white sheets and blankets, and the dim light made them look very comfortable and warm.
The clock on the wall was pointing to twelve o'clock.
Yu Shijiu was not in a hurry to wash up.
He stared at the bed near the window, his gaze lingering several times on the curtains swaying gently in the breeze.
The next second, Yu Shijiu walked to the bedside and knelt down on one knee. When he moved to the edge of the window, he leaned out to look at the bottom of the unclosed window.
Below the window was a beautifully designed street lamp, which emitted a soft white light in the darkness, illuminating the clusters of flowers around the villa, making them appear exceptionally vibrant and fragrant.
A faint floral fragrance drifted into the room on the breeze. Yu Shijiu held her breath slightly, her gaze fleeting over the flowers before retreating back inside and closing the window.
In that instant of retreat, the flowers that had been blooming quietly in the night suddenly trembled and swayed as if blown by the wind.
rustling --
A cool breeze blew past the beautiful, fragrant flowers, and little by little, strand by strand, the petals gradually settled on their branches and leaves…
The vibrant flowers shivered in the cold wind, and the roots with sharp thorns beneath their petals began to writhe and grow menacingly, resembling some kind of eerie creature that had come to life.
When the eerie green and blackish stems and leaves entwined around the streetlights, this bizarre scene made many viewers watching the live stream gasp for breath.
This time, the game instance isn't a humanoid monster?
rustling...
In a room on the second floor, a long-haired "lady" in a white dress stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a pale face. She looked down at the strangely growing flowers, and her bloodless lips moved slightly.
right………
The flowers seemed to sense that someone was watching them. Their eyeless bodies twisted and began to coil backward, their eerie human-like appearance causing great fear in those who looked at them.
The "Miss" took a step back as the flowers were about to fall on her.
brush--
She drew the curtains in front of the French windows.
----------
The unusual situation in the courtyard went unnoticed by any of the players.
Yu Shijiu was very sleepy after washing up.
He yawned lazily, his eyes blurry with tears, and chose the bed against the wall. He climbed over, covered himself with the blanket, and lay down before turning off the light switch by the bedside.
Yu Shijiu blinked the water clinging to her eyelashes and drifted off to sleep as an overwhelming sense of drowsiness washed over her.
As night approached, the quiet corridor outside the door was suddenly filled with the sound of footsteps.
