Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 327 Just check it out.

"……That's it."

He Lingling sighed, wiped her hair haphazardly from her forehead, and softly imitated the old housekeeper's humming from the previous night.

“I knew something was wrong right away. Wasn’t that the instrumental music that was playing in the villa when we went downstairs for dinner last night?”

"At first I thought it was just music meant to trigger our inner fears... but last night when the housekeeper hummed it like that, coupled with her kissing the skull..."

"Do you think it's possible that the relationship between the butler and 'Madam' isn't as simple as it appears on the surface?"

As the plot has progressed, it's now a certainty that the "Madam's" body is buried in the flowerbed. If their guess is correct, then there should be more than one "Madam" buried in the soil beneath the flowerbed...

"Could the butler and the 'Madam' be related?"

He Lingling hesitated for a moment, but still held back her opinion.

"I think it is."

After listening to He Lingling and her companion's entire experience last night, Yu Shijiu nodded in agreement, "They must be mother and daughter."

He pointed out in one sentence what He Lingling was somewhat unsure about.

"...But this is just our guess."

He Lingling actually leans more towards the mother-daughter relationship, since the relationship between relatives can be so close that they can kiss a skull... Apart from the mother-daughter relationship, it seems that no other relative relationship is enough to support this action.

He Lingling was still somewhat conflicted: "What if we guessed wrong—"

"will not."

Yu Shijiu interrupted her, lazily pressing his thumb joint, making a crisp "crack" sound.

"They must be mother and daughter."

"But we have no clear clues to indicate..."

"Just go and check it out."

Yu Shijiu said.

"..."

He Lingling was speechless for a moment, "...Investigate? Where should we investigate?"

"The butler's room."

Yu Shijiu gave him a look that said, "Are you stupid?", but he quickly hid it under a smile, revealing a gentle, innocent face.

"No, Sister Lingling, I definitely didn't mean you were not very smart."

“…Thank you,” He Lingling rolled her eyes, completely misunderstanding the situation.

"The last sentence doesn't need to be said."

Did Yu Shijiu not realize that he was practically writing the words "trying to cover up" on his face?

Yu Shijiu thought the response was excellent and nodded happily:

"Then I'll go by myself?"

"...Don't you need me to come with you?"

Out of consideration for her teammate, He Lingling asked a question.

"no need."

Yu Shijiu approached her with a smile, then cleared his throat hesitantly, "But could you give me a new bag of bear-shaped cookies?"

"When I have more points in the future, I will buy it for you too, Sister Lingling."

"..." He Lingling silently closed her eyes, took out a bag of cookies from her system backpack and handed it to Yu Shijiu.

"Don't eat too many snacks."

"not good for health."

"Mmm," Yu Shijiu happily took the new bag of bear-shaped cookies, stuffed the cookies into her pocket, opened the door, and went out.

"Shall I go take a look first?"

Out of politeness, Yu Shijiu said it again.

“…Go on, go on,” He Lingling couldn’t help but say.

"be careful."

She was met with a wave from Yu Shijiu's back.

"..."

He Lingling slowly closed the door. Just as she turned around, she heard the glass door of the bathroom be pushed open with a "whoosh," and a steaming mist filled the room. Xu Han, who was radiating heat, walked out from behind the door.

"what?"

Xu Han peeked into the empty bedroom, scratching his head in confusion:

"Where's Shi Jiu? I just heard his voice."

He Lingling: "..."

At your showering speed, who will you see when you come out?

------------

Inside bedroom number eight.

A Yuan, Lan Ping, and Qi Weitao stared blankly at the dresses that the housekeeper had just brought up.

"Brother Yuan..."

Lanping bent down and picked up the exquisite, beautiful, and elegantly designed white wedding dress from another box. She looked at it from left to right and swallowed.

Are you going to wear this tonight?

A Yuan's face twisted in an instant, "How is this possible!"

He quickly opened another exquisite box and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the relatively normal-looking white suit inside.

"I'm wearing this, how could I possibly wear a wedding dress!"

Lanping covered her mouth and laughed: "Oh, I was just saying. Speaking of which, the size of this wedding dress really does seem to match your figure, Brother Yuan..."

A Yuanchun pretended she couldn't hear anything and turned to look at Qi Weitao on the other side.

Qi Weitao's face didn't look very good. He walked quickly to the window with a sullen expression and looked out. Then he carefully touched the rosebuds leaning against the window through a piece of tissue paper, his eyes filled with horror.

"Uncle Qi?"

A Yuan noticed that Qi Weitao's expression was off and instinctively called out to him.

Qi Weitao turned to look at him and said, "I thought about it for two days before I realized that these roses by the window should represent us."

"what?"

Ah Yuan didn't even realize this. He was first chosen by Mr. Xiao to be the "bride," and then he was pulled into a dream by the "madam" and almost scared to death. He didn't notice anything unusual about the roses by the window.

"I just had this guess too."

Qi Weitao sighed, his face turning pale as he thought of the female player who had died in the other room.

"...I went to check on the body of the dead female player before I came here."

The corpse was a gruesome sight; there was hardly any healthy flesh left on its body. The twisted body and the ripped, scarlet flesh were all contorted together... To be honest, any normal person would feel like vomiting.

Qi Weitao was no exception.

He didn't know how he managed to restrain himself. After looking at the female player's corpse, Qi Weitao looked towards their window.

"The roses outside their window were half withered."

Qi Weitao said, "This shows that my guess is very likely correct."

The roses growing in front of each player's window may truly represent each player's "fate".

However, it's just a possibility. After all, quite a few of the roses in front of the window were destroyed by the players themselves on the first day (only Yu Shijiu destroyed the roses). Qi Weitao himself had also picked one to observe it.

Apart from the fact that the buds haven't fully opened, it looks no different from other roses.

Perhaps if Rose gets into trouble, the player won't be in trouble, but if the player gets into trouble, Rose will definitely get into trouble.

"...I guess so," A Yuan's face was still pale. He closed his eyes slightly. "Uncle Qi, I shouldn't be in any trouble tonight, right?"

Lanping paused, looking at the wedding dress.

"...Did Lu Chusheng promise to help you?"

After a long pause, Qi Weitao's hoarse voice rang out.
