Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 267 Bizarre Pair of Chapters

Upon learning of Mr. Xiao's return, all the players scattered around the villa rushed back.

Mr. Xiao, who left yesterday, left a deep impression on everyone.

Mr. Xiao looks like a gentle and refined middle-aged man... That's what all the players thought before they saw "Young Master".

If Mr. Xiao's personality is truly gentle and kind... how could he possibly have raised such a son?

In reality, it is only bad genes that perpetuate the cycle of life.

Moreover, this is in a game.

Almost a second before Mr. Xiao stepped into the villa, all the players found an empty spot and stood still, pretending to be busy.

As for what they're busy with... nobody knows.

"Is everyone here?"

After the butler opened the door, Mr. Xiao was immediately surprised to see the players scattered in various corners of the living room.

Have all the guests eaten?

Mr. Xiao turned his head and asked the old housekeeper.

"have eaten."

The old housekeeper bowed her head slightly: "As you instructed, the kitchen prepared a great many dishes today, including street food and Western-style nutritious meals."

There's even a lot left in the kitchen now.

Mr. Xiao seemed to have realized this, and frowned slightly:

Is there much food left in the kitchen?

The old housekeeper said, "There are still quite a few, sir."

Mr. Xiao sighed upon hearing this, seemingly annoyed by the leftover food.

"Same as always, remember to pack extra."

"Ok sir."

The old housekeeper bowed slightly and spoke again under the anxious gaze of all the players.

"Sir, there is something I need to tell you."

Mr. Xiao bent down and unbuttoned his suit jacket. "Is there anything else?"

"The lady is dead."

The breathing of all the players suddenly stopped.

coming.

The main storyline is about to begin!

Sure enough, Mr. Xiao paused in unbuttoning his suit jacket. The next second, he looked up in disbelief, his refined face seemingly contorted into a ferocious expression.

"What did you say?"

"The lady is dead, sir."

The old housekeeper kept her head down and said in a low voice:

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

Mr. Xiao's hands trembled, and he seemed unable to bear it, taking a step back.

"Mr. Xiao, please be careful."

The boy's voice came from behind Mr. Xiao. He turned his head slightly and looked at the boy's well-behaved face, which still had some baby fat.

"you--"

Yu Shijiu quickly picked up where Mr. Xiao left off, nodding and saying, "It's me, Mr. Xiao. Do you remember me?"

“I spoke with you yesterday, and you even had the housekeeper make me lots of delicious food.”

Mr. Xiao's facial muscles seemed to twitch, and for a moment, the veins on his refined and gentle face seemed to throb, but it only lasted for two seconds, no, it was probably less than two seconds before it disappeared.

Yu Shijiu seemed completely oblivious to this. He continued to look at Mr. Xiao with "concern," supporting the other's shoulder as he nearly fell, and lowered his head:

"Mr. Xiao, I'm a little scared."

Mr. Xiao, whose train of thought had been interrupted: "..."

The players nearby, their minds preoccupied with figuring out how to escape suspicion, were speechless.

And He Lingling and Xu Han, who had just come down from the second floor: "..."

Xu Han looked shocked and couldn't help but nudge He Lingling again—

He Lingling avoided it with a blank expression.

"Do you want to die?"

He Lingling's almost silent voice came through.

Xu Han: "..."

Oh, for now, I don't want to die.

He was just a little shocked, and vaguely felt a sense of "pride".

Xu Han used to be terrified and frustrated by Yu Shijiu's "suicidal" behavior—but now...

Xu Han secretly glanced at the players around him, whose faces were all contorted with rage, and couldn't help but smile.

Shi Jiu is their teammate now! Although their actions are somewhat risky, Shi Jiu can handle it perfectly well! They just need to sit back and win!

- Strange.

He Lingling's lips twitched, and she resisted the urge to hit Xu Han on the head (simply because she didn't want to attract the attention of the NPCs).

Although Yu Shijiu's actions were risky, they also allowed him to distance himself from the situation to some extent.

For example, it's almost unheard of for a "murderer" to be so blatantly close to the victim's husband.

Mr. Xiao appears gentle, but no player knows what his true personality is.

"Your name is..." Mr. Xiao thought for a few seconds, "...Nineteen, right?"

Yu Shijiu was overjoyed, "That's right, Mr. Xiao, you actually remember me!"

Mr. Xiao sighed and, with Yu Shijiu's help, slowly straightened up.

"You were the only child who dared to speak to me first, how could I not remember you?"

Lu Chusheng, sitting in the corner, frowned silently at those words.

It's not a good thing that Mr. Xiao said that.

It's not a good thing when an NPC praises a player for being brave.

This suggests that the other party has two perspectives: one is that they believe Yu Shijiu is "innocent," while the other—

They believe that the "murderer" is Yu Shijiu.

Based on the current situation, Lu Chusheng felt that Mr. Xiao was likely in a state of skepticism.

"Really?" Yu Shijiu seemed unaware that Mr. Xiao was watching her, and stood next to him with a grin, looking up.

"Mr. Xiao, may I order whatever I want today, just like the housekeeper?"

All the players nearby: "..."

Some players who couldn't control their facial expressions couldn't help but lower their heads.

Really.

They overestimated themselves.

What truly defines shamelessness and an inability to see the bigger picture, and the iconic scene where someone completely disregards the plot and forcefully links everything to food—it's definitely more "interesting" to see it in person.

What a load of rubbish!

They were terrified!

Sure enough, the town's evaluation of Yu Shijiu is so strange. How could it not be strange?! Even the NPCs are speechless!

Lu Chusheng paused for a second, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxing, clearly having thought of something.

Also.

Lu Chusheng thought.

Yu Shijiu's thought process is always different from theirs.

Just like back then, he straddled the security window without caring whether he would fall.

If someone doesn't care about life or death, and doesn't even care about their own life or death, how could they possibly care about the opinions of other people or strange NPCs?

Mr. Xiao was clearly stunned by those words.

It took him a long time to snap out of the strange conversation. He then slowly released his grip on Yu Shijiu's hand and took a step back without making a sound.

Yu Shijiu noticed his movement and moved an inch closer to him with a bright look in her eyes.

Mr. Xiao, who witnessed this scene, was speechless.

He could barely keep his composure.
