Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 624 It’s getting dark

There's really no need to be so careful... Judging from the female customer's current state, she probably didn't even notice what the two of them were doing.

but……

Lu Chusheng cautiously glanced back at the bed, which had remained quiet and motionless, and felt as if he had been stared at by something several times.

The feeling of being watched... although there was no explicit malice intended to harm him, was enough to make him wary.

As the female customer's emotions gradually became more irritable and her voice grew louder, Yu Shijiu became so annoyed that he almost grabbed an axe.

—Although the female guest seems to be doing well so far, the noise she's making is really annoying.

"Shhh."

Just as the bizarre female guest, whose emotions were collapsing, began to scream, Xu Han's voice suddenly rang out behind Yu Shijiu.

Xu Han leaned closer to Yu Shijiu, quickly stuffed a few wads of cotton into Yu Shijiu's ears, and whispered before leaving:

"Shi Jiu, you'd better not get so close. It's not like you can't hear her. I think her voice is quite loud, it's annoying and it hurts. You should stay away."

Yu Shijiu: "..."

Yu Shijiu silently put the axe that had just appeared in his hand back and nodded obediently.

God knows he almost turned around and chopped someone down when he sensed someone approaching from behind.

Fortunately, it wasn't cut.

Yu Shijiu thought.

Xu Han felt a tickle in his heart and wanted to touch Shi Jiu's head—cough, no wonder Sister An sometimes wanted to touch Shi Jiu's head.

—There's really no way around it! Shi Jiu just looks so young and cute!

I want to pat your head! I really, really want to!

As Xu Han, who was habitually lost in thought, turned to leave, the emotionally distraught female customer suddenly stopped talking. She gripped Yu Shijiu's arm tightly, so tightly that her nails almost dug into his flesh.

When Yu Shijiu felt a stinging pain on his skin from being pinched, he didn't really take it seriously, but to fit the scene, he still pretended to be in pain.

"lady……"

Yu Shijiu timidly shrank back, the axe that had appeared twice earlier had already disappeared.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

Yu Shijiu pretended to ask a question.

"..."

The female guest, however, stared intently at Yu Shijiu, her gaze sliding from his forehead down to his eyes, nose, mouth, chin, and ears—

The female guest suddenly screamed, a wail that sounded like she was crying blood:

"Run! Run! All of you, run! Get out... get out of here! Time, time is running out! Time is running out!!!"

This time, the sound of the crashing waves outside the window could no longer be ignored by the two people and the cat inside. Lu Chusheng rushed towards Yu Shijiu, and Xu Han's eyes widened in horror.

Only Yu Shijiu didn't look up. He remained locked in eye contact with the female guest, even gently smoothing her long, stiff, curly hair, and said softly:

"Madam, what's wrong? What escape? And what do you mean by 'time is almost up'?"

The last trace of tenderness on the female guest's face had vanished. Her indistinct, blood-stained pupils stared at Yu Shijiu as she continued to wail and beg pitifully.

"Let's run away... Let's talk... Take me with you, please take me with you when we run away... Please... Please... Please..."

The female customer, completely changing her previous demeanor, grabbed Yu Shijiu's arm and began to sway as she stood up from the stool, making a move as if to kneel down—

Yu Shijiu stopped him with lightning speed.

As Lu Chusheng ran behind Yu Shijiu and straightened his tail, Xu Han had already run to the window and stared blankly at the sea outside for several seconds.

After stopping the female customer who was kneeling and begging despite having broken bones, Yu Shijiu's expression changed several times.

He looked down at the female customer who had suddenly started trembling and convulsing. Just as he was about to reach out, "Fatty" ran forward and bit the female customer's sleeve and long skirt, pulling them up a little.

The eyes of the person and the cat were filled with bruises and bleeding wounds.

At that moment, Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng both stopped breathing.

They suddenly thought of a possibility at the same time.

A female customer... Is she really a female customer?

With a similar appearance (same type) and figure as He Lingling and Shi Yuan, slender and delicate yet still unable to hide her gentle appearance... these external factors combined are exactly the selection criteria for those female employees in the second-floor cabins, aren't they?

The shock of the "guest" suddenly becoming a "second-floor employee" left Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng speechless for a moment.

By the window, Xu Han, pale-faced, stared at the darkening sky and the churning sea, its surface appearing even more eerie and terrifying under the moonlight... He gazed at it for a long, long time.

After about a minute, Xu Han slowly turned his head and said to Yu Shijiu and "Feifei," who were huddled together, heads bowed, seemingly looking at something—

"That nineteenth one?" Xu Han swallowed nervously and asked cautiously.

"If I remember correctly, the latest time right now should be noon, right?"

"correct."

After confirming that the strange female guest was likely a second-floor employee, Yu Shijiu was in a bad mood.

This means that a large part of the "stories" they hear may be highly personal... While this isn't a big deal, it is certainly somewhat irritating.

But what bothered Yu Shijiu even more were the numerous wounds on the "female guest's" body.

When Yu Shijiu first saw the "female guest" with blood flowing from all seven orifices and her face unrecognizable, she thought it was her transformed state. However, after considering that the other party might not actually be a "guest," it became clear that the "female guest's" transformed state was likely due to her being deliberately "tortured" before her death...

Yu Shijiu was a little unhappy. "What's going on outside?"

Xu Han opened his mouth, then hesitated before saying, "...It's dark outside."

It's really dark now.

Upon hearing that it was getting dark, Yu Shijiu's expression changed instantly.

He quickly abandoned the "female guest" who had closed her eyes and fallen silent after saying "Take me with you to escape," ran to the window, opened it, and stared in shock at the surging waves and the almost moonless night.

"How come it's dark?"

Yu Shijiu said in disbelief, "We haven't had lunch yet!"

So I just missed a meal?!

Xu Han, who was still standing nearby, was speechless.

Lu Chusheng, who was about to walk over, was speechless.

The person and the cat stared at each other blankly, their mouths agape in disbelief.

No, what are you talking about?

Should we be worrying about whether or not we eat a meal a little less right now?!

Shouldn't they be shocked at how quickly time has passed, and perhaps a little worried about what might happen if it gets dark so fast—why are they concerned about missing a meal?!
