Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 286 Safe Period

"The clues to clear the game's storyline are still unclear. Since it's still relatively safe, it would be better for us to go back and rest to recharge."

As for A Yuan, who shared a room with him, Lu Chusheng guessed that, given A Yuan's personality, he probably went straight back to his room after finishing his meal.

"Ah."

He Lingling nodded directly. She quickly stood up and looked around the empty and luxurious first-floor hall. Looking out through the villa's main door, she could still see a few scattered players wandering around aimlessly.

"Would you like to come to Shi Jiu's room half an hour before dinner to talk some more?"

He Lingling withdrew her gaze and said in a low voice.

"no need."

Before Yu Shijiu could speak, Lu Chusheng directly refused on his behalf, "Talking is just a waste of time. This afternoon is an absolutely safe period."

"I'd rather sleep a little longer than waste this time."

Lu Chusheng was telling the truth.

Yu Shijiu, whose words had been interrupted, glanced at him but didn't say anything.

But something still felt off.

What is it?

After a few seconds of silence, He Lingling nodded and took Xu Han's arm.

"Understood. We'll discuss everything tonight. As for Mr. Xiao, who's so grief-stricken he can't even come downstairs for lunch—"

He Lingling gradually revealed a cold smile: "I want to see if he can forget all his grief by tonight."

At night, the lady can "come back to life".

Although it's highly likely they'll go looking for players.

Whenever she thought about this, He Lingling would get so angry that her teeth would itch.

Why do the monsters that get killed never go after the culprits but instead come after innocent people like them?! Dawn Games is absolutely despicable!

Xu Han nodded silently and followed He Lingling upstairs.

Despite not being very bright, he knew what he should do.

Just be a good boy and do the logistics and medical support staff.

"Shall we leave too?"

Lu Chusheng turned his head to look at Yu Shijiu, his gaze lingering for a moment on the food residue at the corner of the other's mouth.

Shouldn't we help Yu Shijiu wipe it off?

Yu Shijiu wiped his mouth again with the tissue in his hand, and his mouth was instantly clean.

"Let's go."

He looked at Lu Chusheng strangely, "Shouldn't we all go back to sleep?"

"..."

Yu Shijiu heard Lu Chusheng seem to sigh.

"They should all go back to sleep."

Lu Chusheng: "Good afternoon, Shi Jiu."

"..."

After parting ways with Lu Chusheng, Yu Shijiu lay quietly on the bed, the image of Lu Chusheng saying "Good afternoon" still seemed to float before her eyes.

He thought Lu Chusheng looked strange.

It looks a little stranger than before.

Yu Shijiu thought.

But it seems I don't dislike it?

----------

When Lu Chusheng returned to room number eight, he was surprised to find that he did not see A Yuan.

He frowned slightly, but showed no intention of going to find the other party.

A Yuan's personality seems bold and meticulous, but in reality, he is a reclusive person who dares not do anything himself and hides in the shadows. In order to pass the level, he can even hide in the dark and watch the monster kill other players with his eyes closed.

Lu Chusheng personally does not agree with this approach.

But he could understand it.

Not everyone has the courage and guts to confront the supernatural head-on.

Not to mention, A Yuan's talent and skills are a bit too much—

Click.

The door was turned open.

Lu Chusheng turned around and met the gaze of A Yuan, who was hanging his head.

A Yuan was visibly listless. He was first startled by Lu Chusheng in the room, then quickly took a deep breath and patted his chest.

"Yes, it's Captain Lu! I was thinking, I was thinking you'd be back later..."

"Ah."

Lu Chusheng didn't say much. He smoothed out the wrinkles in the sheets on his bed.

"It's safe this afternoon. If you'd like, I suggest you and your teammates get some rest."

After saying that, Lu Chusheng lay down on the bed, and under A Yuan's gaze, he neatly covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes expressionlessly.

To be honest, Lu Chusheng looks like a calm corpse right now.

A Yuan was startled by his own thoughts: "..."

He stood there hesitating for several seconds, then finally gritted his teeth and walked to Lu Chusheng's bedside, whispering:

"There's something I feel I need to tell you."

Lu Chusheng's expression remained unchanged, and he did not open his eyes, seemingly unconcerned about what A Yuan was about to say.

Ignoring Lu Chusheng's attitude, A Yuan continued to speak:

"After you and Xu Han left, I... I went and opened the door to Miss's bedroom—"

"what?"

Lu Chusheng suddenly opened his eyes. He turned his head and looked at A Yuan standing by the bed, his gaze deep and serious.

"You opened the young lady's bedroom door?"

A Yuan gritted her teeth and nodded: "Yes, I thought I shouldn't always hide in the back, I could also take the initiative to look for clues, so I wanted to go and see the young lady's body..."

After A Yuan recounted what she had seen, Lu Chusheng remained silent for a long while.

He had long anticipated that the young lady would "come back to life".

But it was unexpected that A Yuan would take the initiative to push open the young lady's bedroom door.

"fine."

Lu Chusheng closed his eyes again. "It's normal for her to be resurrected."

A Yuan: "..."

He wanted to ask why, but in the end, he swallowed the question back.

A few minutes later, Lu Chusheng heard the sound of the door being carefully opened and then closed again.

Lu Chusheng slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the empty room, seemingly lost in thought, and let out a very low sigh.

----------

In the corridor.

A Yuan quickly walked to Lan Ping and Qi Weitao's door and knocked on it.

dong dong dong-

Soon after, the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind the door.

It's Lan Ping.

Lanping still looked timid, staring at Ayuan at the door with wide eyes.

"Brother Yuan..."

"Tell Uncle Qi not to go out this afternoon, to get some rest and sleep, and to try to catch up on all the sleep he needs tonight."

A Yuan quickly interrupted Lan Ping, "You are also Lan Ping. You are weak and need more rest."

"..." Lan Ping was silent for a second. Her hands, hanging by her sides, slowly clenched, and her nails dug into her palms.

"I know."

Lan Ping said softly, "Brother Yuan, you need to be careful. Lu Chusheng doesn't seem very willing to help us."

"...He wouldn't stand by and watch someone die."

A Yuan licked his lips. "At least I won't stand idly by if I can help. Alright, you should tell Uncle Qi that I'm leaving now."

After saying that, A Yuan turned to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Lan Ping behind him.

"Brother Yuan!"

A Yuan turned around.

"what happened?"

“…No, it’s nothing.” Lan Ping pursed her lips delicately, looking at A Yuan’s face, her voice slightly hesitant.

"I was just thinking, you've always told me and Uncle Qi about your daughter in real life... but you've never mentioned your wife..."
