Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 268 Can I go to sleep now?

"..."

Seemingly not expecting Yu Shijiu to be so "shameless," Mr. Xiao's expression twisted for a moment before returning to normal.

"can."

Mr. Xiao said.

Seemingly to prevent Yu Shijiu from continuing to pester him tomorrow, Mr. Xiao added another sentence.

"From now on, whenever you're in the villa, just tell the butler what you want to eat."

The old housekeeper still had that dutiful, smiling face, and upon hearing this, she simply nodded slightly to Yu Shijiu.

Yu Shijiu was instantly delighted.

He suddenly gave Mr. Xiao, who was a head taller than him, a big hug, and happily walked towards the second-floor stairs, looking like a "foolish man who has nothing to worry about as long as he has food and drink."

"In that case, I'm a bit sleepy now, I need to go back to my room and take a nap, then come down for lunch..."

"Mr. Xiao, is that alright?"

Can Mr. Xiao say no?

Of course not.

He looked at the boy who was holding the handrail and looking at him, closed his eyes briefly, and nodded.

"can."

Yu Shijiu went upstairs with a clattering sound.

The remaining players downstairs, their faces twitching from watching: "..."

Sometimes they really want to call the police, I'm not kidding.

Why does Yu Shijiu clear dungeons so easily?! Is that really fair?!

Players both on and off the screen were simultaneously complaining in their minds.

Xu Han looked proud.

Basic procedure, don't overthink it.

However, there are exceptions among players.

For example, A-Yuan, who is hidden in the crowd.

He frowned as he watched Yu Shijiu disappear downstairs, thinking that someone with such an abnormal personality probably wouldn't survive long in the Dawn Game.

No matter how strong he is or how outstanding his talent and skills are, if Yu Shijiu continues to treat the game so carelessly, he will eventually be doomed.

A Yuan wasn't envious or jealous; he genuinely felt that Yu Shijiu wouldn't live long.

The game of Dawn is not that simple.

Based on the game dungeons that Yu Shijiu has cleared so far, they can only be considered to be of medium difficulty at best... Some game dungeons are truly a matter of life and death.

A Yuan had never personally encountered such a game instance, but some of his close friends had... and they all died in the end.

Thinking about how powerless he was while watching from behind a screen, and how he ultimately accepted the props his friend passed on to him before dying in despair... A-Yuan couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He must live.

Whether it's for myself, for my daughter... or even more so for those friends who died in the game.

and so……

A Yuan glanced at Lu Chusheng in the corner out of the corner of his eye and secretly made up his mind.

As long as I stick close to Lu Chusheng and am a little more obedient and smart, at least when I encounter danger in this game instance, Lu Chusheng will definitely not leave me to die.

All the players present had their own thoughts. They looked at Mr. Xiao, whose thinking had obviously been led astray by Yu Shijiu. Just as some were thinking about whether they should learn from Yu Shijiu, the usually quiet old housekeeper stepped forward once again.

"Sir, the lady is dead."

Just as the regular plot was pulled back to the main storyline, Mr. Xiao once again revealed a ferocious and twisted expression, looking at the old housekeeper in disbelief.

"What did you say? Madam is dead? How could Madam, who was perfectly fine at home, suddenly die?!"

"When I got up this morning to bring breakfast to my wife, I found her body in the room."

The old housekeeper continued to respond to the same question diligently.

At the same time, she quickly recounted the humiliating manner of the lady's death.

This time, Mr. Xiao was even angrier.

He suddenly looked up at the silent players around him, his distorted, refined face gradually turning cold.

"My wife was perfectly fine, how could she, how could she suddenly die... Who, who killed my wife..."

Mr. Xiao's muttering voice rang in the ears of all the players, and at the same time, their body temperature suddenly dropped.

Outside the villa, the sun was still warm and bright, but inside, separated only by a wall, the temperature suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees, as if a comfortable nest had been abruptly plunged into an ice cave, making everyone shiver with cold.

Players with poor physical condition even felt as if their blood vessels were frozen.

He Lingling almost immediately pulled Xu Han to the back of the crowd, lowering his head to avoid Mr. Xiao's gaze, and tugged at Xu Han's arm to make him lower his head.

Xu Han is quite tall and stands out in the crowd.

He Lingling was hesitant to gamble on whether Mr. Xiao, who was now clearly becoming strange, would see him.

Although Xu Han was confused, he was still very obedient. He obediently lowered his head and hunched his back, and for a moment he was not very noticeable in the crowd.

From a distance, it looks rather sleazy.

At least from Chen Yi's perspective outside the screen, Xu Han has grown a lot.

Their movements and reactions have become much faster.

Chen Yi chuckled as he watched Xu Han on the screen, who quickly recovered, and felt that his and An Jie's ideas were indeed correct.

"What are you laughing at?"

Anjie, who had just reached the second floor, saw the smile on Chen Yi's face and was somewhat puzzled:

"What funny part did you see?"

Chen Yi shook his head, "I just feel that Xiao Han has indeed made a lot of progress."

Previously, it would take me several seconds to react, but now I can immediately realize what my teammates want me to do.

"It's time for him to make some progress."

Anjie snorted and walked into the kitchen, gently taking out the strawberries she had bought one by one and placing them in a clean basket.

She turned on the tap, washing the strawberries while looking up at Xu Han, who was hunched over and had his neck hunched over, on the big screen. A smile flashed across her eyes.

"Otherwise, if none of us are around him in the future, how will he complete game dungeons alone?"

No one stays together forever.

No matter who it is,

The atmosphere in the kitchen quieted down.

Chen Yi seemed to have realized something as well, and for the first time, his usually cheerful, Buddha-like face froze.

"Sister An."

Chen Yi asked with some difficulty, "Is there really no other way?"

"..."

The sound of rushing water masked Anjie's trembling hands.

She calmly shook her head.

"The future cannot be changed."

"You should know very well, Chen Yi."

She couldn't gamble on a possibility with almost no hope; that would be unfair to everyone.

It's unfair to Chen Yi, Xu Han, He Lingling, and Yu Shijiu.

Chen Yi remained silent.

He stared at He Lingling's pale face and Xu Han's hunched-over face on the screen, then switched the screen to Yu Shijiu, who was already asleep in the room.

Chen Yi knew that An Jie was right.

But he was still unwilling.

Why...?

Even now, Chen Yi still has doubts.

Will everything seen in the Oracle of Delphi really come true?

Ange has completely believed it.

But he still refused to believe it.

------------

To everyone's surprise, Mr. Xiao, who had been "stimulated" by his wife's death and was beginning to act strangely, suddenly became inexplicably quiet.

Under the watchful eyes of all the players, who were on high alert, he slowly regained his composure.

In the end, he only said one sentence.

"It doesn't matter who the murderer is anymore."
