Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 266 To leave safely, you must listen to the rules.

The temperature around the flowerbed remains normal.

Yu Shijiu even felt a little sleepy under the warm sunshine—which was normal, since he had gone to bed too late last night and woke up early, so it was only natural to feel sleepy after a big meal.

Hmm, and the delicate fragrance of flowers all around makes me even sleepier.

Even when relaxed, Yu Shijiu knew he should still be symbolically "diligent".

Everyone's busy finding clues to beat the game, wouldn't it be too... too comfortable to be the only one sleeping?!

Thinking of this, Yu Shijiu's eyes brightened slightly. Just as she was about to tell the young lady that she wanted to go back and rest a little longer, she heard the sound of a car horn coming from the path outside the villa gate.

At the same time, the young lady who was squatting by the flower bed stood up abruptly, but swayed slightly due to squatting for a long time—and was then quickly supported by Yu Shijiu.

"elder sister?"

Yu Shijiu said with "concern": "It must be because you ate too little this morning. Look, you almost fell down because of low blood sugar."

Miss:"……"

She patted Yu Shijiu's hand gratefully, "Thank you, Nineteen."

"You're welcome."

"Father is back."

"That's what the young lady said."

Yu Shijiu noticed that the young lady's body stiffened for a few seconds, and then slowly relaxed.

"Mr. Xiao is back?"

Yu Shijiu feigned surprise and said, "...Then, what should we do...Madam, what about Madam Xiao—"

"it does not matter."

The young lady suddenly spoke up, patting Yu Shijiu's hand reassuringly and saying gently:

“You didn’t kill your mother, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Yu Shijiu nodded, his mind seemingly wandering to the heavens for a moment.

—But sister, although I didn't kill your stepmother, I stabbed your brother dozens of times.

"Ok!"

Yu Shijiu continued to nod vigorously, her eyes seemingly brimming with tears, "Sister, you're right. I didn't hurt anyone. I'm not afraid."

"nineteen."

The young lady looked at the boy opposite her and sighed, a hint of worry showing on her pale face.

"I need to remind you of something."

"Sister, tell me."

Yu Shijiu remained obedient.

“Fathers like obedient children,” the young woman paused for a few seconds and said slowly:

"So in your father's eyes, you guests are all children he has wholeheartedly supported. Although the children he has supported are not as close as his own children, you are still children in his eyes."

The young lady said, "You must be obedient, because if you are obedient, you will win your father's favor."

"As long as you are obedient and win your father's favor, you can leave here safely and innocently."

"..."

Yu Shijiu nodded again, "I understand, sister."

He said earnestly, "I will definitely listen to Father very, very well. Oh no, no," Yu Shijiu lowered his eyes somewhat embarrassedly and whispered:

"I will listen to Mr. Xiao's instructions."

- Strange.

Yu Shijiu could tell that what her mistress was saying was true, at least in her mistress's eyes.

But how could a game be that simple?

No player would believe that they can place all their hopes on being "obedient" to an NPC.

Who knows if this NPC will suddenly lose their mind and send them to their deaths? If they're really told to die, are they really going to obey and do it?

"Ah."

The young lady clearly believed her; she patted the dust off her skirt and said softly:

"Then let's go back to the villa. Father..."

"What's wrong with Mr. Xiao?"

Yu Shijiu asked curiously.

"..." The young lady shook her head with a wry smile: "My father doesn't really like me coming to the flower garden."

"why?"

Yu Shijiu's heart skipped a beat.

It's a flowerbed again... which also represents the strangely growing roses in the flowerbed.

"Perhaps it's because my father loves flowers."

The young lady said, "My father tends all the flowers in the flower garden himself. He loves flowers and plants and always does everything himself, not letting the housekeeper or the others do it."

"Wow."

Yu Shijiu exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Xiao is so down-to-earth!"

"...Actually, no."

The young lady looked somewhat uncomfortable and didn't continue speaking.

Yu Shijiu naturally wouldn't delve into the details.

He glanced back at the flowerbed before leaving, his gaze lingering on the roses that had just been planted in the soil.

...When will these roses "die"?

------------

"Mr. Xiao is back?!"

Xu Han, who was wandering around the villa and didn't want to miss a single corner, was startled and quickly ran to the window at the end of the corridor and looked down.

He Lingling, who had already seen an expensive car drive by, was speechless.

She tugged at Xu Han's outstretched neck and said irritably:

"He's already driven past, what can you possibly see now?"

Xu Han was pulled painfully, and upon hearing this, he grimaced and retorted:

"That doesn't necessarily mean you won't see anything at all. I actually saw some exhaust fumes..."

"Yes, yes, yes, the exhaust fumes from this car can get all over your face."

Xu Han: "..."

He was furious, pointing at He Lingling and saying "you" several times in a row, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Alright, alright."

He Lingling slapped Xu Han's hand away expressionlessly and frowned, saying:

"That door still won't open?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Han immediately lowered his hand and shook his head:

"I can't open it. I've tried many methods, including using props, but nothing works."

He Lingling fell silent.

She stared at the room near the stairs, her brow furrowed deeply.

"This is troublesome."

There are very few doors in the game that can't be opened even with items.

In most cases, players will use items to open NPC doors and go inside to check for clues... Although they usually won't find anything very useful, they can at least open the doors.

If you encounter a door that can't be opened even with props, then there's only one possibility.

The story hasn't progressed to the point where the player can open the door.

Simply put, aside from using items to open it later, the only other option is for players to take the risk and rely on NPCs to enter the room.

Choosing either of these options is extremely dangerous.

The former involves waiting too long, which may result in missing many clues (and potentially causing the deaths of many players)... while the latter is for the brave to risk their lives.

Who knows what the NPCs will do?

It's important to know that even if the NPCs in a game instance appear normal on the surface, they are actually all monsters.

The kind that kills and eats people.

He Lingling's face was very pale. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the sound of the villa door being pushed open on the first floor.

"Go down first."

He Lingling immediately headed for the stairs: "Mr. Xiao has arrived at the villa."

Xu Han subconsciously followed her downstairs, but couldn't help looking back at the room that couldn't be opened at all.

This room appears no different from the other rooms on the surface.

Why can't I open it?
