Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 269 Come forward

Players: "..."

What do you mean?

Mr. Xiao's attitude changed so quickly that even players who were constantly on guard against him randomly selecting people for "interrogation" found his words somewhat inexplicable.

What does it mean that it's no longer important who the murderer is now?

"I invited you all here because I wanted to find out if you were living well under my financial support."

Mr. Xiao's voice interrupted many players' train of thought. He just stood there with his face contorted, and on that refined and gentle face, only his eyes were calm.

"Yesterday, I was very happy to see that everyone was doing well."

As Mr. Xiao was speaking, he randomly walked over to a player and bowed his head:

"But my wife was murdered last night."

"I am in great pain."

Mr. Xiao said, "It doesn't matter who the murderer is; what matters is that I need a wife."

"..."

If the players were still somewhat bewildered before, then this statement has now shocked them all.

What does it mean to need a wife?

A wife is still necessary?

What strange words!

"so."

Mr. Xiao reached out and pressed down on the player in front of him who was trying to escape, his voice low and deep:

"Which of you lives in room number eight?"

"..."

Boom——

Ah Yuan, who was hiding at the edge of the crowd, suddenly widened his eyes.

He stared at Mr. Xiao in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear.

Room 8... Room 8... Room 8...

This time, the unlucky ones chosen are actually myself and Lu Chusheng?!

How could this be?! How could someone like Lu Chusheng be chosen by Mr. Xiao? This is ridiculous, it's simply impossible—

"I'm."

Lu Chusheng still didn't understand the strange situation. He stepped out from the corner and walked towards Mr. Xiao through the open path created by the crowd, calmly saying:

"I drew room number eight last night."

Mr. Xiao looked up and gazed over.

The player he targeted quickly seized the opportunity to run away, terrified, and rushed into the crowd of players, hiding his head and not daring to say a word.

No one knew that when Mr. Xiao placed his hand on his shoulder, the eerie coldness emanating from that hand seemed to penetrate the fabric and flesh, rushing straight into the depths of his bones!

In that instant, he felt as if his body, his brain, and all the bones in his body had been frozen.

Mr. Xiao is in danger.

No, it's extremely dangerous!

The player who escaped unharmed was trembling and almost fell to the ground when He Lingling, who was in the crowd, caught him with quick reflexes.

"Be careful."

He Lingling glanced quickly at Lu Chusheng, who was walking towards Mr. Xiao, her eyes flickering slightly.

Lu Chusheng's intervention was within her expectations.

After all, in a game instance where the other party is present, as long as the players in the same instance do not do anything to harm or betray their own kind, Lu Chusheng is not stingy with the opportunity to step in.

His status as a veteran player and the captain of the inspection team has indeed elevated Lu Chusheng's sense of responsibility to a new level.

As long as the person being targeted is still salvageable and hasn't done anything wrong.

The player who was helped up by He Lingling looked at her gratefully and thanked her sincerely.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."

Heaven knows if he had accidentally fallen just now and drawn Mr. Xiao's attention back to him.

That solves everything, doesn't it?!

The thought that he might be standing still and at Mr. Xiao's mercy made the player tremble all over again.

That feeling just now was terrifying.

He absolutely, absolutely does not want to experience it a second time!

"You're welcome."

He Lingling gestured to Xu Han beside her to be quiet, and began to gently probe for information:

"I just felt your demeanor was a bit strange just now... why were you standing there making Mr. Xiao—"

The player looked somewhat agitated: "No!"

He lowered his voice, nervously clutching his hair, and said quickly and absently:

"That feeling was so strange! It was as if I was being sucked into place by something, my skin and bones... even my brain were frozen in place by that coldness..."

Incoherent words kept escaping from the player's mouth, and many players around who noticed this scene frowned.

Their bodies were frozen, their consciousness was frozen... This deadly power from the monster was something that most of the players present could not resist.

It was at this moment that everyone realized just how quickly Lu Chusheng had spoken up.

Very quick and decisive.

Otherwise, the first player to die in this game instance might appear.

This unlucky player, who was targeted by Mr. Xiao, can be said to have escaped with his life.

No, it was Lu Chusheng who saved his life.

-

As Lu Chusheng approached Mr. Xiao, the eerie chill emanating from him grew stronger and stronger. Eventually, even Lu Chusheng's arms broke out in goosebumps.

A chilling, goosebump-inducing terror flashed through Lu Chusheng's mind, but his expression remained unchanged.

He looked at Mr. Xiao and repeated the sentence again:

"I am the guest who drew room number eight."

"..."

Mr. Xiao showed no intention of approaching; he simply stood there staring at Lu Chusheng, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, a strange upward smirk appeared on his lips.

"is it?"

Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "But I remember there should have been two children in room number eight."

"Besides you, child, who is the other person?"

A Yuan: "..."

His face turned pale instantly, and he only managed to remain still with the support of his teammates.

One person isn't enough; we need two more.

"Do both people have to appear at the same time?"

Lu Chusheng responded without changing his expression, his eyes meeting Mr. Xiao's without blinking:

"I think it's enough for me to come out on my own, as for my roommate..."

Lu Chusheng glanced at A Yuan, whose face was pale in the crowd, and said, "His health may not be very good right now."

A-Yuan, caught in a panic, was taken aback.

He stared blankly at Lu Chusheng's back, a strange, aching emotion washing over him in an instant.

Even though Lu Chusheng hadn't actually accepted his invitation to team up... the other party was still choosing to cover for him...

For a moment, A Yuan even considered rushing out of the crowd to talk to Mr. Xiao face to face.

He said he wasn't feeling well, so he didn't come out immediately.

But this is not possible.

A-Yuan knew very well that he could never do such a thing.

Being afraid is one thing, but having Mr. Xiao see through your heart is another.

He cannot go out rashly.

It seems that Lu Chusheng can handle Mr. Xiao on his own... The most urgent thing is to try to conceal the fact that he is another roommate of room number eight...

Subconsciously, Ah Yuan was told...

He couldn't admit it... at least not under the current circumstances, he couldn't respond to Mr. Xiao's inquiry.
