Chapter 300 Umbilical Cord
Inside bedroom number six.
Unaware that something was attacking from behind, Yu Shijiu's hand remained on the window sill. Just as all the players in front of the screen held their breath, unable to bear watching—
Yu Shijiu suddenly turned his head to dodge the meat strips that were sweeping towards him from behind.
pat!
The meat strip slammed viciously against the glass, and at the same time, the eerie black-haired head outside the window quickly disappeared.
"嘤——"
The eerie wailing of a baby broke the deathly silence in the bedroom as it reached Yu Shijiu's ears.
As the sound of wind breaking came, Yu Shijiu turned her head and bent over to dodge the meat strip that attacked her from behind again, and quickly rolled to the ground along the edge of the bed.
The bed creaked, followed by the sound of something getting stuck under the bed—Yu Shijiu had rolled under the bed under the sheet.
Players in front of their screens, holding their breath, exclaimed: "!!!"
"Fuck!"
One player was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, unable to believe it: "He actually knew there was something behind him?!"
How is that possible?! How could a player know there's an attack from behind without turning around? — Actually, it's not entirely impossible.
Experienced players could easily guess from the plot where the monster attacking them would come from... but Yu Shijiu was not a seasoned player, so his sudden turn of the head to dodge the attack shocked so many players.
"...How is that possible?" A player stared blankly at Yu Shijiu, who was rolling under the bed using the sheets as cover, and murmured in confusion.
"How could he possibly dodge a monster's sneak attack..."
Clearly, Yu Shijiu's entire gaze and attention were drawn to the eerie sight outside the glass window!
This is unscientific! It doesn't make any sense at all!
“…Alright, alright,” one player sighed, slowly sitting back down on the hard bench in the square, his expression somewhat complicated as he looked at the screen.
"It's not hard to admit that he's a player who's naturally suited for Dawn games."
"..."
No one spoke.
Everyone stared at the seemingly impossible dodge on the screen, falling into silence.
On a level that many people haven't noticed, the players in the town of 7369 in the game Dawn are paying more attention to this player named Yu Shijiu than they are interested in a new player.
This is no longer just a matter of interest.
This is a collection of envy, jealousy, and even astonishing worship.

"..."
Under the bed, Yu Shijiu blinked, cold sweat dripping from her forehead and sliding down her cheeks, feeling a little chilly.
He didn't care at all, and quietly groped under the bed little by little in the dark.
The large scissors that the young lady "gave him" were clearly under the bed... he shouldn't have been unable to find them—
As the cold, piercing scissors touched his fingertips, Yu Shijiu's smile widened.
Yeah!
Yu Shijiu paid no attention to the cuts on his fingertips caused by the sharp blades. He quickly found the handle of the large scissors and firmly controlled the scissors that had changed owners.
It's just too dark.
Yu Shijiu huddled under the bed, the surrounding darkness clinging to him like a shadow, as if it might devour him at any moment.
If only a light were on now...
Yu Shijiu rubbed the large scissors in his hand, preparing to find an opportunity to rush out and turn on the lights.
Only with the lights on can he fight against something he can't even see clearly yet—
Yu Shijiu suddenly thought of something.
Last night he and Lu Chusheng left the room together, which means that "Madam" definitely won't come looking for them... But who was that black-haired head he saw at the window just now?
Besides the "Madam," there will be other people—
"嘤——"
The baby's eerie, childlike cries rang out again.
Yu Shijiu's thoughts were interrupted. He silently gripped the large scissors, curling up in the darkness into a position where he could rush out at any moment.
This time, the baby's cries seemed much closer.
Much closer?
Yu Shijiu: "...Ha."
He let out a soft chuckle from his throat, his eyebrows curving like the clear moon, revealing an innocent naiveté.
He seems to have forgotten something again.
Last night, the "Madam's" body lay twisted on the ground—her protruding abdomen was flat, and blood from her ruptured lower body had almost completely soaked the carpet in the room... Where is her child?
The baby in her belly shouldn't be hanging from the ceiling...
Realizing this, Yu Shijiu ignored the lowered gaze and, through the gap between the sheet and the floor, used the moonlight coming in from the window to slowly look into the eyes of an infant lying on the carpet not far away, whose body was covered in bruises and whose face was distorted.
The infant's skin was bluish-purple, and its eyes were completely black, exuding an astonishingly cold and venomous aura. It opened its mouth wide in a strange way towards Yu Shijiu, and a mouthful of writhing flesh mixed with yellowish-green liquid dripped out of its mouth, staining the writhing strips of flesh around it.
Hehehehehe—
The grotesque creature that the infant had transformed into laughed out loud.
It stopped crying because it had found its prey... no, to be precise, it should be called a "toy".
Countless strips of flesh dripping with blood and yellowish-green liquid—no, they were umbilical cords.
Click.
The window was blown open by the cold wind.
As the temperature suddenly dropped, the dirty umbilical cords that had been wrapped around every corner of the bedroom rushed wildly towards the underside of the bed. The edges of the sheets were blown up by the wind, revealing the thin boy hiding inside the room.
“Hehehehehehehe——”
The baby laughed even louder.
It lay in the dirty, sticky liquid, its bluish-purple little hands grabbing the umbilical cord scattered all over its body and stuffing it into its mouth, chewing on it with a gurgling sound.
Yu Shijiu: "..."
Using the wall behind him, he quickly slid down the foot of the bed and out from under it, once again dodging the frantically attacking flesh-colored umbilical cords.
Luckily, there was no carpet under the bed, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to slide out.
With an uncontrollable smile, Yu Shijiu quickly stood up, leaning against the wall for support.
The moon outside the window has become even rounder without me noticing.
The pale, bright moonlight shone through the window, and a cold wind swept in, carrying the unique fragrance of roses outside. This fragrance mingled with the stench of decay and rot in the bedroom, creating a nauseating stench.
Even Yu Shijiu began to feel as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her stomach, and she started to feel uncomfortable.
Perhaps he really shouldn't have eaten so much at night.
For the first time, Yu Shijiu had a slight doubt about the food.
Wait, why hasn't the butler brought up the desserts he mentioned yet, even though it's so late?
It has to be said that Yu Shijiu's thought process is indeed very enviable at times.
At least at this moment, almost no player could have imagined that he was thinking about these things.
How could anyone be thinking about desserts when facing a life-or-death situation?
