Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 331 Corpse

From a distance, the old housekeeper still had that very strict yet gentle appearance.

Whether it's bending over to arrange chairs or occasionally taking out some extremely beautiful red roses to decorate the surroundings... she looks perfectly befitting of a butler.

Pity.

If Yu Shijiu hadn't known that "Madam" was actually placed in the villa by the butler, he would have definitely exclaimed how dedicated the butler was.

But that may not be the case now.

What is hidden beneath the busy and respectful facade of the old housekeeper?

Yu Shijiu looked away a split second before the old housekeeper noticed his gaze.

After confirming that the housekeeper and the shadowy figures were not available to return for the time being, Yu Shijiu lazily yawned, grabbed a small cake from the table, and dragged the large scissors to the old housekeeper's room.

Hmm, I'll have to look for it.

Logically, players would definitely think of checking the butler's room for clues.

Strangely enough, even though today is the third day of the game, only He Lingling (Xu Han) and Yu Shijiu among the players thought of going to check on the old housekeeper's room.

This was no longer carelessness; rather, the clues about the old housekeeper seemed to be obscured by something unseen.

It makes it difficult to see and causes people to subconsciously ignore it.

"Well."

Yu Shijiu took a bite of the small, delicate cake, a satisfied smile on her face, as she walked through a corridor leading to the kitchen.

From the beginning until now, the place where the butler has appeared most often is the "kitchen".

The kitchen was also searched by many players, but no one found anything and they all returned empty-handed.

By the third day, no one in the kitchen had chosen to continue checking.

When Yu Shijiu arrived at the kitchen, he realized why no players were coming here anymore.

Because the kitchen was just too clean.

Very clean.

Unlike some game dungeons where the kitchen is covered in gore, swarming with mosquitoes, or even filled with all sorts of bizarre, bloody chunks of meat, this kitchen, which looks huge, is so clean that it makes you wonder if the owner has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

There wasn't a speck of dust on the walls, and the countertop was spotless, free of dust and grease. The only slightly dirty thing was some kitchen waste in the trash can.

What's too normal is the most abnormal thing.

Yu Shijiu understood this principle quite well.

He walked to the refrigerator and opened it. The cold air blowing in his face made his arms involuntarily break out in goosebumps.

The dense, countless shapes made him tremble slightly.

But similarly, the refrigerator was also very clean.

There were only some fresh vegetables that needed to be prepared and drinks that were sorted into somewhat obsessive-compulsive neatness.

Yu Shijiu closed the refrigerator and opened the freezer compartment.

The chicken, duck, fish, and other meats in the frozen compartment also looked very green and healthy, clearly of a color that was perfectly safe for humans to eat.

If not, then sandwiched between a freshly cleaned chicken carcass, something that looks like a finger.

Yu Shijiu narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to take that "finger".

hum.

It was the sound of a frozen chunk of meat falling.

Yu Shijiu used his wrist forcefully to pull the "finger" out of the ice.

At the same time, there was also the sound of fragile ice cracking.

Click—click-click—

The ice around the "finger" that Yu Shijiu had pulled up began to thaw at a visible speed, and a small, extremely familiar corpse appeared before him.

"..."

Yu Shijiu remained strangely silent for a few seconds, then shook the water that had dissolved in his hand.

Why did this corpse look somewhat familiar to him?

Players in front of the screen: "..."

"Wait, isn't that... what was that called? Wasn't it that little monster from last night?"

"Right? Apart from her skin looking a little paler, she really does seem..."

"..."

Yu Shijiu, standing in front of the refrigerator, finally found a common ground with the familiar large head of the corpse in front of him.

“…So it was you, baby.” Yu Shijiu hugged the dripping wet baby’s body tightly, then stuffed the pale, frozen body back into the freezer.

The infant monster, who was completely unaware of anything at the moment, simply said: "..."

Just as Yu Shijiu was about to close the refrigerator door, the chicken, fish, shrimp, and other meats in front of him began to distort at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"..."

The chaotic, twisted meat mingled together, crimson, bloody chunks of flesh slowly mixing with the pale, bluish-white corpse of an infant—ultimately giving rise to a frozen layer of infant corpses.

"..."

Yu Shijiu was shocked.

He stared at the sudden filling of an entire cryogenic chamber with the corpses of infants, hardly believing his eyes.

It was just ordinary meat a moment ago...

"It seems your purpose isn't to be used as fertilizer."

Yu Shijiu took a deep breath, forcing himself to accept the miserable fact that he definitely couldn't eat meat for dinner tonight, and then closed the refrigerator door listlessly.

Feeling dejected, he wandered around the kitchen again, making sure there were no other clues, before slowly walking out of the kitchen.

At the same time, the old housekeeper, who was busy arranging seats in the garden, suddenly looked up.

Amidst the dense shadows, the butler, the only one with a definite human form, stood out as a striking bright spot. She raised her head, her body, already somewhat hunched due to her age, appearing even more bent.

On the second floor, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The young lady was still wearing a white dress, her pale face shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see her expression.

The old housekeeper, her head raised, gradually cracked a smile as she looked at the young lady standing by the French windows, enveloped in countless shadows.

"almost."

The old housekeeper chuckled softly. Suddenly, a small indentation appeared in her abdomen, from which some uncontrollable tendrils began to emerge, gradually tightening around her belly. Trembling blood splattered out, landing on the surrounding white chairs, leaving scarlet spots.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the young woman silently backed away, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

In the blink of an eye, the old housekeeper returned to normal, smiling as she directed the shadowy figures to work, humming a cheerful tune as she did so.

"Da da da—da da da da da da—da da da da..."

--------

After leaving the kitchen, a small storage room was located not far away in the back.

Beside the storage room, a tightly closed, antique wooden door stands on the wall, appearing particularly conspicuous in the quiet corridor.

Is this here?

Yu Shijiu walked over slowly, her footsteps making a slight noise in the corridor.

Yu Shijiu stopped by the door.

He hesitated for a second, looked back at the empty corridor, and pushed open the wooden door in front of him.

creak-

The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and the boy's figure disappeared behind it.

boom.

The wooden door was closed.
