Chapter 280 Disposing of the Corpse
Chapter 280 Disposing of the Corpse
Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu pulled her head back from the broken windowpane and snorted indifferently:
"If I beg you, will you still help me?"
Xiao Li responded angrily: 【If you beg me, I'll definitely help!】
Yu Shijiu's lips curved slightly. "Then I beg you."
As soon as Yu Shijiu finished speaking, Xiao Li's digital brain paused for a second.
Wait, what did Yu Shijiu just say? — Beg, beg for what?
Please.
Yu Shijiu said it again without caring, his tone even becoming somewhat pitiful.
"I really, really love this pair of big scissors. You'll help me bring it back, right, Xiao Li?"
Xiao Li was still a little confused and instinctively wanted to refuse: "No, I said I won't help you—"
"What do you mean?"
Yu Shijiu interrupted it directly, looking aggrieved as if the game system could go back on its word.
"You clearly said you'd take it back if I begged you?"
Xiao Li stammered: "But, but, but your attitude is too, too unlike what I'm asking for—"
"I beg you."
Yu Shijiu quickly interrupted it again, making a kneeling gesture with his hand in his palm, "Xiao Li is the smartest and most trustworthy game system."
"right?"
Xiao Li fell silent.
It pursed its lips in a hint of smug delight, then coughed:
Since you've asked me, well, well, it's not impossible. It's just a pair of scissors, haha, it'll definitely work, haha...
Having received a definite answer, Yu Shijiu ignored the occasional twitching laughter from Xiao Li in his head, dragged the large scissors to his bed, and racked his brains for a way to hide them.
Where should I hide it? Where can I hide it so that the lady who has come back to life won't take it back?

"Brother Lu, where should we put the body?"
Xu Han held onto the young lady's arm, looking with some reluctance at the bloodstains left behind her as she was dragged along.
Goodness, so much blood! How am I going to clean this up later...? There doesn't seem to be a mop on the second floor.
"In the young lady's room."
Lu Chusheng responded quickly, seemingly annoyed by Xu Han's slow pace. He simply hoisted the young lady's body onto his shoulder and said:
"Go and open the door."
The young master was stabbed to death late last night, which was relatively easy to handle since everyone was "asleep." But now—
Lu Chusheng looked at the bright sunshine outside the window at the end of the corridor and felt uneasy.
If Mr. Xiao or anyone else finds out... things will be difficult to handle.
Xu Han had already obediently run to the door of the young lady's bedroom. He carefully pushed the door open and made way for her, and saw Lu Chusheng throw the corpse on his shoulder directly inside.
Bang.
Xu Han's eyelids twitched.
Good heavens, he thought Lu Chusheng would put the young lady's body on the bed.
So you just threw it away so crudely and simply?
Lu Chusheng had no idea what Xu Han was thinking.
If he found out, he would be speechless and have a headache.
This isn't real life, where someone kills someone and has to dispose of the body carefully without making a sound.
In the game, as long as the NPCs don't see any signs of murder on the surface, it's fine.
Ultimately, everyone who is destined to be targeted will eventually be targeted; it's just a matter of when.
"Close the door right now."
When Lu Chusheng turned to leave, he realized that Xu Han hadn't followed. Looking back, he found that Xu Han was still standing at the door, seemingly lost in thought.
Xu Han snapped out of her daze, nodded in agreement, and glanced curiously into the room.
The young lady's bedroom was very dark, about the same light as when he and He Lingling came in to check it out that morning.
The young lady didn't seem to like bright light; the heavy curtains blocked out all the light in the bedroom, leaving only a faint, dim glow.
In the dimly lit bedroom, the edges of some furniture were faintly visible, along with a dense cluster of blooming roses...
Xu Han shivered as he smelled the strange, elegant floral fragrance and quickly closed the door.
What were you spacing out for?
On the way back, Lu Chusheng asked him.
Xu Han recalled what he had just been looking at, licked his lips, and whispered:
"It's a bit strange, Brother Lu. There are so many roses in Miss's room, and the fragrance is almost pungent..."
Miss, do you like roses that much?
Xu Han was a little confused.
Lu Chusheng paused upon hearing this, but did not turn around.
So far, there are still too few clues. The young lady is a girl, and it seems that a girl liking flowers is not a very obvious clue... We can only keep it as a suspicion for now.
"Not surprisingly."
Lu Chusheng simply said, "It seems quite normal for girls to like flowers."
He didn't say it definitively, implying that there might be a problem with the fact that the young lady liked roses.
But Xu Han didn't seem to notice.
Xu Han just scratched his head, feeling inexplicably irritated.
"Really?" Xu Han muttered to himself, "I still feel like something's off..."
Lu Chusheng naturally heard Xu Han's mutterings, but he didn't point it out.
Sometimes, it's better to discover clues yourself and realize the seriousness of the situation.
Just consider it as me helping Anjie take care of someone.
"Go back first."
Lu Chusheng glanced discreetly at the dark corner of the stairs beside him and whispered:
"Let's see after tonight."
Xu Han nodded and went into deep thought.
--------
In the corner of the stairs.
Ah Yuan hunched over against the wall, breathing rapidly, so much so that all he could hear was the sound of his own rapid breathing.
He had just witnessed Lu Chusheng and the player named Xu Han throwing the young lady's body into the room.
The loud thud when the body hit the ground made him tremble for several seconds.
—Players can actually kill NPCs during the day?
Has Lu Chusheng ever done this before?
It seems not. Then why—A Yuan suddenly thought of the bedroom that Lu Chusheng and the other person had just come out of.
Bedroom number six is the room where Yu Shijiu lives alone.
A Yuan: "..."
He bit his lower lip, and felt that everything made sense once he thought about it this way.
Yu Shijiu killing an NPC is as easy as chopping cabbage; it's perfectly normal for him.
A Yuan never expected that Lu Chusheng would be involved in handling the subsequent disposal of the body.
This is such a stark contrast to Lu Chusheng's past behavior...
It seems that Lu Chusheng and Yu Shijiu have a very good relationship, much better than he imagined.
Remembering what Qi Weitao had told him, A Yuan struggled to control his trembling arms and, suppressing his fear, walked toward the young lady's room.
There seemed to be residual blood on the carpet in the corridor; it felt soft and yielding underfoot, as if blood might splatter at any moment.
Ah Yuan took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and pushed open the young lady's room door—
The next second, after seeing the scene in the bedroom, he stared wide-eyed in horror.
