Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 340 Poisoning

It's not just Liu Yao.

Wang Han, who was very close to her, almost instinctively pulled his girlfriend behind him and stared wide-eyed in the direction from which the scream came.

The other players also stopped what they were doing and looked over.

Including Yu Shijiu, who was busy stuffing cake into her mouth.

Aside from Mr. Xiao, who was still exchanging affections with the "bride" on stage and seemed oblivious to the commotion below, all the players, including the young master and young lady, noticed it.

In a corner of the crowd, a pale-faced male player was convulsing in pain, screaming repeatedly, with crimson-black blood constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He looked like he had been poisoned.

Upon realizing this, Yu Shijiu was speechless.

He stared blankly down at the half-eaten cake in front of him, and subconsciously touched his stomach.

If there's no pain or itching for now, it should be fine to eat the whole thing, right?

He thought that as long as he didn't eat any meat tonight, everything would be fine... After all, after looking around the kitchen, it seemed that only the infant's corpse in the freezer was somewhat abnormal.

That's what Yu Shijiu thought, and that's what he did.

Just as he was about to continue stuffing cake into his mouth, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed his arm.

"Don't eat it."

It was Lu Chusheng.

At the same time, He Lingling and Xu Han, who rushed over to stop them, breathed a sigh of relief. The former kept turning her head to check the condition of the poisoned male player, while the latter ran directly to Yu Shijiu, grabbed the cake, and threw it into the trash can.

Yu Shijiu: "?"

He was startled for a moment, then said with some dissatisfaction, "Since we've already eaten it, what's the point of eating half versus eating the whole thing?"

As she spoke, Yu Shijiu broke free from Lu Chusheng's hand when he wasn't paying attention.

"..."

Lu Chusheng looked at the other person's hand as it broke free and fell silent for a moment.

"Ancestors."

He Lingling felt utterly overwhelmed. She quickly pulled a large bag of snacks from her backpack and handed it to Yu Shijiu, saying with a headache:

"No matter what, don't eat yet. Are you hungry? Come on, have some potato chips! These flavors are so delicious! They're a million times better than your cake!"

Yu Shijiu's complaints vanished instantly. He happily accepted the potato chips He Lingling handed him, tore open the packaging, and started eating.

Lu Chusheng, who was standing to the side, finally realized what was going on.

He lingered thoughtfully on the potato chips in Yu Shijiu's arms for a while, belatedly realizing that he could actually use snacks to beg for "friendship".

I must have had a brain fart last night and didn't think of that. Yu Shijiu seems like someone who loves to eat so much... I can't believe I didn't consider that...

Seeing that Yu Shijiu was finally not thinking about the cake that had been thrown away, He Lingling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Han, who was standing next to Yu Shijiu, peeked at the potato chips in Yu Shijiu's hand and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"These potato chips aren't cheap, you're really willing to spend money on them."

"It's not like I'm buying it, so why would I be reluctant?"

"..." Xu Han realized something, "You didn't buy it? Then who bought it?"

"Sister An."

He Lingling said casually, "Sister An eats so much every day, what's wrong with her being so hospitable and letting me take some snacks with me when I left?"

Xu Han: "..."

He clenched his fists angrily, "Just as I thought! Sister An is no longer the Sister An who was kind to me alone!"

Now, besides Yu Shijiu, there's another one taking away his affections: He Lingling!

In a fit of rage, Xu Han waved his hand, and a bag of spicy strips appeared in his hand.

He placed the spicy strips in front of Yu Shijiu, whose eyes were shining, and grabbed the back of his hand as the latter reached out to take them.

Yu Shijiu: "?"

Xu Han coughed. "Don't worry, Shi Jiu. Let me see if you've been poisoned."

Yu Shijiu said "oh" and took the spicy strip, letting Xu Han frown and "take his pulse".

It's not really about "taking a pulse".

Xu Han's healing talent skill is more about dissipating and alleviating people's wounds and toxins, thereby transferring the function to his own body.

Like this moment.

Xu Han felt the twisted toxins in Yu Shijiu's body, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Help me, help me up."

Just a second before the transfer, Xu Han shouted at He Lingling.

What Xu Han considered a “shout” was actually just a tiny sound.

Fortunately, He Lingling had already sensed something and quickly supported his swaying body, frowning as she said:

How long is the cooldown period?

Yu Shijiu also looked over. He saw Xu Han's face suddenly become weak and pale, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand.

"Don't move..."

With his last bit of strength, Xu Han grasped Yu Shijiu's hand and whispered, "Wait a minute, it'll be fine in a minute."

Yu Shijiu pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

Many players ate something tonight.

Apart from a few players who genuinely had no interest in eating, the rest of the players, who had almost completely relaxed, naturally had the leisure to eat something.

The food and desserts in the villa were quite good. Since there was no danger nearby, it wouldn't hurt to have something to eat to fill our stomachs.

If no one has been poisoned.

At this moment, the male player who was the first to show signs of poisoning was already unconscious.

He began to see distorted rose branches and the salty smell of soil. The rose branches and soil that rushed towards him quickly sealed his mouth and nose. The extreme pain of lack of oxygen prevented him from screaming, and he even had the illusion that he was being buried alive again.

Of course, this is just a male player's personal feeling.

To the other players, he simply lay on the ground, his face turning blue and red, constantly vomiting blood.

The players next to him looked very grim, especially those who had also eaten.

"……How to do?"

The player who had also eaten was trembling with anxiety: "I drank quite a bit of alcohol just now, could it be... could it be like him?"

"...Did you just drink alcohol?"

Another female player turned pale: "I just ate some food and drank some beverages. I thought the food at the wedding wouldn't be a problem..."

"..."

Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She hid behind her boyfriend, took a deep breath, and whispered:

"Luckily, we ate a lot at noon and are still so full that we haven't eaten anything, otherwise we would definitely have been poisoned too."

Although the words were meant to be kind, they always sounded smug.

Liu Yao realized this and immediately shut up.

Wang Han, however, was thinking more deeply. His face was grave as he gazed at the group of players gathered not far away, watching the poisoned male player, and he said in a low voice:

"Yao Yao."

"Ok?"

"Don't you think it's a little strange?" Wang Han's voice was somewhat low.

"How could only one person be poisoned? Even considering the time elapsed since they ingested the food, it can't have been this long—"

Almost immediately after Wang Han finished speaking, screams of agony rang out from the group of players surrounding the poisoned male player.
