Chapter 311 Unexplained Heart Palpitation
Wang Rui quickly started sending messages, her fingers still trembling even though she knew Lu Chusheng couldn't have died so easily. "Brother Lu actually committed suicide in the game!!"
"..."
Wang Rui's message stirred up a large number of slacking-off monitoring team players in the group.
[What the hell?! How could Brother Lu possibly commit suicide?! Wang Rui, did you stay up all night secretly watching the live stream again and go crazy?!]
【I didn't!!! Don't slander honest people! If you have time, go watch Brother Lu's live stream!!!】
[…Alright, alright! Stop chatting nonsense. I don't believe Brother Lu would really commit suicide; Wang Rui must be making things up.]
[Exactly! What kind of strength does our Brother Lu have? How could a mere game instance make him break down and commit suicide?! Absolutely impossible!!!]
【…】
Wang Rui looked at the string of bubbling messages on the screen and clicked her tongue.
Luckily, she was quick enough to screenshot the picture of Brother Lu's suicide, otherwise these people would have really been at odds with her.
Wang Rui decisively posted a picture of Lu Chusheng slitting his throat with a dagger (she set the view to be visible only once and also blocked Lu Chusheng).
[I told you I wasn't lying! I didn't stay up all night watching live streams! I have photographic evidence!]
【…】
The group fell silent instantly.
Wang Rui stared at the group chat, where no one dared to post a single message for a long time. She looked up at Lu Chusheng's live stream, which was currently black, and bit her lower lip nervously.
If she hadn't known that Lu Chusheng's "suicide by slitting his throat" must have had its own reasons... she would have been too frightened to think for herself.
So why did Brother Lu suddenly "commit suicide"?
Wang Rui's palms were sweating with nervousness. Even though she deliberately took screenshots and posted pictures in the group, seemingly not caring, she was actually very apprehensive.
"Damn it..."
Wang Rui felt cold sweat breaking out on her back. She silently ran her fingers through her thinning hair, her face full of worry.
"...Never mind, I can't be the only one who's scared..."
Those people in the group! Not a single one of them will escape!!!
Sure enough, after the picture was viewed by many players, the group chat, which had been quiet for a few minutes, suddenly erupted into a clamor.
People kept contacting Wang Rui by phone and chatting privately behind the scenes. Every message they sent contained an exclamation mark of extreme fear and disbelief.
"..."
Wang Rui didn't reply to any of them or answer any of their calls.
She sat in front of Lu Chusheng's computer screen, which had suddenly gone black, and nervously began biting her fingers.
...It'll be alright, it'll be alright...
Wang Rui closed her eyes silently.
...It must be that Brother Lu noticed something, it must be.
------------
boom!
The boy who jumped down from the first floor stumbled and almost rolled into the rose bushes, but luckily he managed to twist himself back up.
—As for the bizarre infant ghost story about being tricked into using their own umbilical cord as a seatbelt…
It closed its eyes, opened its mouth wide, and howled loudly, before Yu Shijiu, who had regained his footing, reached out and hugged it.
"Tsk."
Yu Shijiu reached out and flicked the baby's grotesque head, then curiously leaned closer to its bizarre and ugly face, grinning as she said:
"You can even scream like that? I thought you could only cry and laugh."
The baby monster: "..."
It stopped howling abruptly, awkwardly turned its head, and positioned the back of its head directly in Yu Shijiu's face in a twisted posture.
Yu Shijiu: "..."
He stared at the baby's strangely large, round, bluish-purple back of the head and couldn't resist touching it.
It's quite slippery.
It just feels a little strange.
When the infant monster became helpless and angry again, Yu Shijiu picked it up and started wandering around the villa's yard.
Jumping off the second floor was nothing to Yu Shijiu; her knees were just slightly sore and numb, and of course, they hurt a little, but Yu Shijiu couldn't even feel that slight pain.
He was very curious about the villa courtyard at night.
The couple who tried to steal their cookies had encountered "Madam" in the flowerbed not far from the gate...
Yu Shijiu excitedly hugged the baby monster in his arms and slowly walked along the path the couple had run.
"I promised to take you to find your mother..."
Yu Shijiu's voice was as gentle as a lullaby in the darkness, soft and soothing, like the tone of someone coaxing a baby.
"If you see Mommy, baby, will you leave me?"
"..."
The baby monster: "..."
Its face was a grotesque, purplish-blue infant's face, its mouth slightly open as Yu Shijiu rambled on incoherently—
squeak……
The sound of a sharp object being dragged rang in their ears. The baby's eerie expression twisted for a moment before turning into an obedient snuggling against Yu Shijiu's shoulder.
"good."
Yu Shijiu stroked its smooth, round head and nodded affectionately:
"Don't worry, even if I find your mother, I won't just hand you over to her."
"..."
The infant looked up in a panic, trying to grab Yu Shijiu's clothes, making sounds like "Awooooo" and "Eeeeeee".
—Maybe not, I could be handed over easily…
"Are you that excited?"
Yu Shijiu sighed, "It seems you still prefer being with me, baby—"
An inexplicable palpitation suddenly interrupted Yu Shijiu's words, and the arm he was holding the infant monster instantly went limp—the infant monster, which was still gritting its teeth (in fact, it didn't have any real teeth) and acting cute, instantly fell to the ground.
pat!
It was the sound of something soft falling onto a hard, gravelly road.
The baby monster lying face down on the cobblestone path: "..."
It looked up, bewildered and angry, and saw the smile on the face of the terrifying human dragging the giant scissors gradually disappearing.
……
Something beside him seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
Yu Shijiu's heart tightened slightly, and a surge of aching and swelling deep within him instantly threw his mind into chaos.
Something's not right, something's not right, something's not right—Yu Shijiu's chaotic thoughts were suddenly broken by a gaze hidden in the shadows.
He suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the huge floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the villa, illuminated by the streetlights and moonlight.
Swah——
It seemed someone had slightly drawn back the curtains, and a woman in a white dress was peeking out through the gap, looking furtively at something.
The woman behind the curtains is, without a doubt, a "ladies' girl".
The young lady's gaze remained timid yet ruthless, as if she were looking at a scene she had long been accustomed to seeing.
The other party did not seem to see Yu Shijiu standing in the middle of the road.
Through the young lady's gaze, Yu Shijiu suddenly realized something.
He suppressed the inexplicable fear in his heart, slowly shifted his gaze, and looked towards the end of the road where the couple had frantically fled.
