Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 343 Hide and Seek

"..."

While Xu Han was still confused, He Lingling gritted her teeth and nodded directly:

"I'll do as you say and go to Madam's room."

She understood Yu Shijiu's meaning in almost the shortest amount of time.

It's nothing more than the most dangerous place being the safest place... Although it sounds far-fetched, sometimes game dungeons are really that simple.

"go!"

He Lingling pulled Xu Han up and, supporting his limp body, ran upstairs.

Behind him, the commotion between the chaotic group of players and the old lady housekeeper gradually subsided. As Mr. Xiao on stage coughed violently, A Yuan was so frightened that he took several steps back.

"I rely on!"

Ah Yuan, who was closest to Mr. Xiao, was stunned when he saw a streak of blood spurt from Mr. Xiao's throat.

He never expected that Mr. Xiao would actually vomit blood!

That shouldn't be! Shouldn't it be the players who are coughing up blood?

"How about we play a game now?"

The old housekeeper's voice pierced through the terror and reached everyone's ears.

Yu Shijiu rummaged through the few remaining potato chip bags and sighed:

"Let's begin."

Lu Chusheng, standing nearby: "..."

He took a very slight step forward, and saw Yu Shijiu take a step to the side.

"..." Lu Chusheng was a little annoyed, "We have to go together later—"

"I think that couple who tried to steal my cookies looked pretty good..."

Yu Shijiu muttered to himself in a way that everyone around him could hear, and then walked toward Liu Yao and the other person who were cowering in the other corner.

Lu Chusheng behind him: "..."

He forcefully shoved the half-empty bag of potato chips back into his hand.

Yu Shijiu didn't seem to want to talk to him much, probably still angry about last night... He realized he had indeed been meddling too much. He really shouldn't have interfered so much, after all, dreams are dreams, and memories are memories he recalled himself, and they really didn't have much to do with Yu Shijiu.

Having successfully fooled himself, Lu Chusheng took a deep breath and turned to look at the stage.

On stage, Mr. Xiao collapsed to the ground, gushing black blood. Standing beside him, A Yuan's face was filled with terror, and his white suit was splattered with blood.

Noticing that Lu Chusheng was looking at him, A Yuan wanted to jump down and find him, but he restrained himself.

There was no other reason; it was simply that even though Mr. Xiao was vomiting blood, his hands were still tightly gripping his feet, as if afraid he would run away.

Help! You're spitting blood and about to die, why are you pulling on me?! Even if you pull on me, I can't save you!!!

After all the players quieted down, the old woman butler gestured to the shadowy figures to put the players down.

The players who were put down were pale and ashen-faced. The aftereffects of the poisoning had blurred their vision, and they could even vaguely see some terrifying hallucinations.

"The game is this: before dawn, find Miss, Mr. Xiao, and the young master's guest, and you can get a bowl of antidote soup that I have prepared."

The elderly housekeeper smiled slightly under the glaring, furious stares of everyone present.

"Of course, it can also be considered that you found it together, so I can give you another bowl."

"..."

Almost simultaneously, all the players' eyes turned red.

Some of them wanted to rush forward and fight the old housekeeper, but they were quickly grabbed by the shadowy figures and had their limbs and necks strangled. Within a few seconds, one of the players who made the first move had his neck broken by branches that grew out of the shadowy figures.

A game notification sound then rang out.

Two players have died in the current instance, "Equivalent Invitation."

No one dared to resist anymore.

Those players who had been momentarily overwhelmed and tried to resist instantly lost their strength, and their necks, which had been forcibly twisted halfway by the branches, froze in place.

The elderly housekeeper didn't pursue the matter further. She smiled at the players whose necks were twisted in half and politely inquired:

Do the guests have any further objections?

"..."

"……No."

After a long while, one player finally gave a dry response.

Once someone takes the lead, other players will naturally follow suit. In no time, the entire wedding venue was filled with the trembling, terrified nodding of players who had eaten the food.

"In that case, let's start our game in ten minutes."

The old housekeeper glanced down at her watch, then turned and met the gaze of Mr. Xiao, who was spitting blood on the table.

Mr. Xiao was no longer the gentle, polite, and refined man he once was. He looked utterly disheveled, and his luxurious suit was covered with blood and vomit that he had vomited himself.

He stared intently at the old housekeeper below the stage, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.

"You, you actually dared to—"

"gentlemen."

The old housekeeper interrupted his angry questioning by raising her wrist and tapping the clock above.

when--

The large wall clock inside the villa seemed to have struck the hour, its loud chimes echoing throughout the entire villa at that moment.

"I advise you to find a place to hide right away."

The old housekeeper said, "If our guests find you and bring you before me in ten minutes... you should know what will happen to you, right?"

At this point, the old housekeeper's eyes widened, her cloudy, yellowish eyeballs swirling and twisting several times within their sockets, making her look as if they might fall out at any moment.

Mr. Xiao fell silent.

He clearly remembered something; the intense abdominal pain brought him to his senses as he looked towards the flowerbed not far from the wedding venue.

The butler was an executioner he had personally trained.

His specialty was chopping and separating human flesh and bones bit by bit... At the time, he felt that if such a perfect technique were applied to himself, it wouldn't be a perfect thing.

Despite the excruciating pain in his internal organs that threatened to make him faint, Mr. Xiao forced himself to stand up straight and run into the villa while vomiting blood.

They were completely oblivious to the fact that the blood dripping from their bodies might give them away.

It's also possible... that he won't be exposed.

The players did not stop them.

Putting aside the fact that the old housekeeper had set a ten-minute delay before they could go look for him, the twisted rose branches growing from inside Mr. Xiao's skull made them hesitant to chase after him immediately.

How could there be such an easy-to-find monster?

They are not stupid.

The only one who felt fortunate was A-Yuan.

After the old housekeeper diverted Mr. Xiao's attention, he finally let go of his foot.

...He was standing alone on the wedding stage, feeling somewhat lost and helpless.

"Mother-in-law!"

Yu Shijiu raised his arm and took a loud breath, attracting the attention of the old housekeeper:

Can we participate in the hide-and-seek activity too?

The other players who hadn't eaten and wished they could bury their heads in the ground: "..."

Damn it! You're insane!

Liu Yao and Wang Han watched helplessly as Yu Shijiu stopped in front of them with an "evil" smile: "..."

Damn it! All I did was glance at the bag of cookies in your hand a few times! Why are you holding a grudge like that?!
