Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 354 Miss and Madam

"disgust……"

As the young lady pushed the young master out, He Lingling, whose consciousness was wandering under the bed, suddenly convulsed for a moment.

Startled, Xu Han quickly pinned down her wriggling arms and legs, not caring how strange their position was, and whispered:

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Don't move... What if we both get caught? That could kill us..."

"..."

He Lingling still did not respond to him.

She was still immersed in the illusion following the outbreak of "Ghost Eyes," and the painful, sharp, piercing, and hazy sounds in her ears grew louder and louder.

There were men and women, old and young... and finally, an even more unbelievable, ferocious, and painful roar.

"Why?!"

The woman's scream pierced the darkness; she looked up in agony just before the axe fell, her eyes bloodshot.

"We...we're not friends, are we?"

The only response she received was the window curtains slowly being jammed shut.

boom!

The axe fell heavily from mid-air, the woman's thin body convulsed and twitched, and amidst endless screams, her body and head were severed, her arms and legs were also cut off, and in the sticky, scarlet blood, the reflection of the man covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief was seen.

"Take care of it."

It was Mr. Xiao's voice.

"Remember, her body must become nourishment for this villa. Only by making the land sufficiently moist and fertile can my career reach new heights."

"housekeeper."

Mr. Xiao covered his mouth and nose and turned around, his glasses gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

"If you do everything well, you will definitely get a high salary that you can't get anywhere else."

"do not let me down."

His response was the butler's trembling voice, which he tried to suppress as he remained calm.

"...Yes, sir."

The old housekeeper's voice didn't sound as hoarse as it does now; she seemed to repeat herself, raising the axe high and then bringing it down again—

"I will try my best to do my job well..."

"Don't blame me... Madam..." the old housekeeper murmured to herself, her hand trembling as she raised the axe again, her eyes wide open in the woman's deathly gaze.

"I need money...I need money...I need money to go find my daughter and wife..."

The old housekeeper wept uncontrollably, her face and body covered in the lady's blood. Seemingly unable to bear the woman's gaze, she trembled as she pulled a handkerchief from the pocket of her apron.

She bent down and placed the handkerchief over the woman's eyes, then raised the axe once more...

The sound of an axe chopping into bone kept echoing in He Lingling's ears. Fear, nausea, and the sound of flesh and bone being chopped apart filled He Lingling's entire brain.

She started to feel some discomfort in her stomach.

A nauseating urge surged up from her throat, and He Lingling couldn't help but gag.

It was covered by a hand.

"..."

My goodness!

Xu Han felt like he was about to faint, and he wasn't kidding; he really felt like he was about to faint.

I was so scared I almost fainted.

How could He Lingling suddenly develop so many strange symptoms? It shouldn't be like this... Didn't Shi Jiu say that Madam's room was the safest place?

Everything will be alright, everything will be alright...

Xu Han bit her lower lip, repeatedly opening her mouth to control her fear, and tightened her grip on He Lingling's hand.

As a result, he didn't notice that He Lingling had actually regained consciousness.

Because—the young lady who pushed the young master out slowly turned her head and walked straight towards the bed.

"..."

Xu Han found it hard not to wonder if the young lady had discovered something.

But how is that possible?

Is the young lady trying to find another place to hide?! No way! Are their luck really that bad?!

Xu Han groaned silently, already calculating what items in his backpack he could use to escape.

Just as the young lady was about to reach the bedside, and Xu Han finally thought of which prop he could use to escape, a somewhat weak hand scratched the back of his hand a few times.

Xu Han was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body.

"...Don't move."

The owner of that hand gently wrote two words on the back of his hand.

He Lingling, who has just regained consciousness, is now in so much pain that she can't see clearly.

Despite the excruciating pain in her eyes, she pulled Xu Han, who was terrified, aside and gently, silently exhaled a breath from her throat.

...She finally realized what was wrong.

The book on Mr. Xiao's desk was filled with densely packed stories about using human sacrifices to prolong wealth.

It might just be a scam... but it's clear Mr. Xiao believed it.

Believing means that Mr. Xiao will definitely do it.

"If one wishes to prolong their path to wealth, the best form of sacrifice is to use one's own flesh and blood... thereby achieving career advancement, wealth, and status... and among these, women hold the highest position. If someone carrying the bloodline of the one involved is tortured and suppressed, the optimal state of wealth can be achieved..."

He Lingling's throat was full of blood.

She suppressed the urge to vomit and cough, her chaotic and throbbing brain rapidly connecting and integrating the clues.

If we connect all the events, it's that Mr. Xiao blindly believed what was in the book—perhaps Mr. Xiao really encountered something at the time, and he had the idea of ​​sacrifice, which led to the increasing number of "ladies".

Every pregnant "madam" is targeted by a jealous but dim-witted young master one night, resulting in a gruesome death...

This is almost entirely different from their initial guess.

But this fact is even more shocking and terrifying, enough to make one tremble with fear.

What is the human heart?

This is the human heart.

"She won't look under the bed."

He Lingling held Xu Han's hand, her fingers trembling slightly, but she still wrote the next sentence word by word on his palm.

"She just came to visit her friend."

When her "Ghost Eyes" were activated, she saw far too many scenes of this villa from the past.

Among them, the image of the dying "Madam" gazing into the eyes of the woman on the second floor of the villa is the one that He Lingling remembers most vividly.

Those eyes were filled with pain, disbelief, and despair.

Xu Han: "..."

At first, he didn't quite realize what was happening, but once he did, he instantly got goosebumps all over.

Help... He's even more scared now, what should I do?

He Lingling's guess was correct.

When the young lady walked to the bed, she did not bend down. She simply stood by the bed, reached out and touched the blood-stained sheets, her voice very soft.

"Sorry……"

The two people under the bed heard the young lady's voice in the room.

"I wanted to come and help you... but I couldn't..."

"Sorry……"

The young lady's low sobs echoed in He Lingling and the other woman's ears, like the weeping of a vengeful spirit, following them like a shadow.

dong dong dong-

The tightly closed door was suddenly knocked on.

The young lady's crying stopped abruptly.

She looked up at the door not far away and slowly stood up.
