Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 257 Strange

"Ah."

After responding, Lu Chusheng walked into the bedroom, but paused when he saw the bed not far away, which was in a similar state to the one he had left in.

"You weren't asleep just now?"

A-Yuan carefully closed the door, then sighed upon hearing this.

"How could I dare to sleep?" A-Yuan muttered, tugging at his hair. "There's constant wailing and howling outside, sometimes a woman crying, sometimes a man yelling, I just can't sleep..."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He instantly pictured Yu Shijiu stabbing someone cleanly and decisively, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Nothing will happen tonight."

Lu Chusheng still said, "It's best to go to sleep now."

After all, they might not be able to sleep for the rest of the time.

When all the NPCs in the game instance begin to become monstrous, players may never wake up again if they close their eyes.

A Yuan is a veteran player, and his talent skills have been unlocked, so his understanding of the game's dungeons is naturally very deep.

"I know."

A Yuan responded and nodded. Just as he was about to go to sleep, his gaze suddenly stopped on Lu Chusheng's arm, who was bending over to get into bed not far away.

"Captain Lu?"

Lu Chusheng had only taken off half of his shoes when he heard this and turned to look at A Yuan.

The other person hesitated for a few seconds, then tentatively pointed to his arm and whispered:

"Is your arm injured?"

Lu Chusheng paused slightly, then followed A Yuan's gaze and raised his hand, instantly seeing a large patch of blood on his arm.

"..."

Sometime during the night, the fabric on his arm was stained crimson with blood...

Yes, Yu Shijiu used his own clothes as a cloth to wipe the fruit knife.

"You're not injured; you must have bumped into something accidentally just now."

As he spoke, Lu Chusheng decisively took off his white clothes.

A Yuan: "..."

He instinctively widened his eyes.

Lu Chusheng's physique was widely recognized in the town. His skin was fair under his clothes, and his muscles, developed through years of training, were very powerful. To the naked eye, the well-defined muscle lines on his body looked even more beautiful under the lights, and his slightly bulging chest muscles were faintly visible under his white vest.

Many players watching on the screen at this moment: "..."

"...Seriously, no matter how many times I've seen it, I still think that Lu Chusheng's physique is something that very few people can surpass..."

Thin but not weak, with well-proportioned muscles, broad shoulders, narrow hips, and a V-shaped waist... He's also highly intelligent and strong. It's really hard to imagine what kind of woman such a man would like.

"My goodness..."

A female player who had watched Lu Chusheng's game livestreams many times sat there, her face slightly flushed and the corners of her mouth turned up.

"Watching Captain Lu's live streams is definitely a treat!"

"..."

For the first time, none of the players around him, regardless of gender, denied it.

There's no way to deny it.

Lu Chusheng's appearance, coupled with the other party's somewhat ridiculously upright personality... to be honest, the contrast is quite strong.

No wonder most players in the town admire Lu Chusheng.

Before the inspection team arrived, the atmosphere in their town was chaotic and corrupt, with people seeking revenge and indulging in debauchery... and occasionally, there were even mentally ill individuals who wanted to take everyone with them to die...

At least for now, the town is operating quite normally under the supervision of the inspection team.

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

A-Yuan admitted that he was envious.

No man could help but envy Lu Chusheng's perfect physique.

Just by looking at his muscular physique, you can tell how strong Lu Chusheng's ability to clear the game is.

By the way, what is Lu Chusheng's innate skill?

"You go to sleep first."

After taking off his clothes, Lu Chusheng carried his blood-stained clothes to the bathroom without turning his head.

"It's almost two o'clock. If you don't want to miss any clues tomorrow, I think you'd better get some sleep."

Sufficient sleep is very effective in nourishing the human brain.

Especially for players like them whose day and night are reversed and whose biological clock is disrupted, they need to find opportunities to rest in the game in order to keep their brains active.

Having a clear mind to think is the first essential element for players to complete the game.

A Yuan quickly shook off the random thoughts in her mind and hurriedly went to bed and climbed up, but she still couldn't help but call out to Lu Chusheng, who had already gone into the bathroom.

"Captain Lu, could you tell me what you just saw?"

Lu Chusheng, who was just about to turn on the tap: "..."

He looked at the faucet covered in limescale and did not hesitate:

"We'll talk about everything tomorrow."

"……All right."

A Yuan didn't insist anymore. He crawled into bed and his mind went through the game's plot of the day in a jumbled mess. Before long, he forced himself into a deep sleep.

-

In the bathroom.

Lu Chusheng stood in front of the tap, turned on the water, and carefully rubbed the blood-stained clothes in his hands.

The white clothes were gradually soaked through in the clear water, and the semi-congealed bloodstains on them were slowly moistened and cleaned little by little by the man's rubbing.

Lu Chusheng slowly raised his head only after the bloodstains on his clothes were completely cleaned.

In the full-length mirror, the man in the white vest had a cold and stern look, his expression indifferent to the point of being aloof. His short hair, which should have been neat, had several strands hanging down because he had been looking down for a long time.

Very strange.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Chusheng awkwardly raised his hand to touch his chest.

Beneath my palm, I could feel the rapid, pounding of my heart, the sound of which was quite agitated in the otherwise quiet bathroom.

Why does my heart feel a little strange every time I meet Yu Shijiu?

Lu Chusheng was somewhat confused about his current situation.

Clearly... there are no scenes involving Yu Shijiu in my memory...

"never mind."

Lu Chusheng sighed after thinking a bunch of random thoughts, shook the soaking wet clothes in his hands, and casually picked up a clothes rack hanging on the wall.

—Perhaps I've seen Yu Shijiu before, when I had no memory of it?

Lu Chusheng thought.

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

Yu Shijiu stood behind the door for several seconds after returning to her bedroom.

He was still tightly gripping the small, delicate fruit knife in his hand, and the blood that hadn't been wiped clean dripped down the handle little by little, finally dripping onto the floor.

tick-

The sound of blood dripping awakened the boy who was waiting behind the door.

Yu Shijiu rubbed his hair in frustration, making it even more messy than before, which was already tangled from Lu Chusheng's rubbing.

It looks like a black, long-haired bird's nest.

Bird Nest himself was oblivious to this. He angrily went into the ensuite bathroom in his bedroom and started washing the fruit knife, muttering something unintelligible.

Phrases like "Goodnight or not, aren't you annoying..."

Only after Yu Shijiu had cleaned himself and the fruit knife did he lazily yawn, walk out of the bathroom with teary eyes, and climb into bed to sleep.

Before falling asleep, the boy opened his mouth in a daze.

Actually, saying goodnight is acceptable.
