Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 252 Cause of Death

"My stepmother was murdered."

Lu Chusheng said.

“When I covered my stepmother with the clothes, I examined her body. In addition to the ligature marks on her neck, there were bruises of varying degrees all over her body. These bruises were caused by the violent beatings she suffered before her death. But what really caused my stepmother's death was not these injuries.”

Lu Chusheng's voice grew softer and softer; he actually didn't like entering game instances.

Especially these game instances that are clearly very dark and even tragic.

"Sister Lingling is right."

Yu Shijiu, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke, "My stepmother is pregnant."

The stepmother did not die from violence or beatings before her death, but rather from severe bleeding caused by the miscarriage of her unborn child.

She might not die at first. If she received timely help, the stepmother's unborn child would indeed be lost, but she herself could be saved... But here's the problem: everyone else in the villa seemed to be in a deep sleep and couldn't hear the stepmother's cries for help or her sobs.

No one heard it.

No one came to rescue her.

Everyone was "asleep".

Everyone.

Yu Shijiu's lips slowly curled up, and his eyes, which appeared even more intense in the darkness, seemed to be glowing, or as if some strange crimson color was gradually spreading over them.

"coincidence."

Yu Shijiu smiled sweetly.

Under Lu Chusheng's slightly puzzled gaze, Yu Shijiu walked step by step toward her young stepmother, whose body was covered by Lu Chusheng, by the bedside.

This time, the boy didn't care about the blood under his feet. He walked step by step through the thick blood on the carpet, accompanied by the sizzling sound of the water, until he bowed his head in front of his young stepmother.

The flashlight beam flickered slightly.

Yu Shijiu lowered his head and met the gaze of his young stepmother, whose eyes were wide open in death, revealing a pair of empty, resentful eyes.

The stepmother's eyes were very bright when she was alive. After all, she was young and clearly well taken care of by Mr. Xiao. She exuded an aura of great happiness.

But at this moment, the stepmother's beautiful eyes widened, the fine lines around her pupils seemed to have been torn apart, and her eyes were filled with sinister resentment and pain.

"Does it hurt?"

Yu Shijiu squatted down, reached out and gently touched his stepmother's open eyes, a joyful smile curving his lips.

"My mom is too."

"No one hears my voice, no one is willing to help me take Mom to the hospital..."

“We are the same.”

Yu Shijiu felt the cold, stiff skin beneath his hands, and slowly, slowly, he used force to close his stepmother's eyes.

"Don't worry," the boy's soft, sweet voice was very clear in the darkness, like a sweet melody that came to mind in the dead of night, absurd yet exciting.

Lu Chusheng, who hadn't quite understood what Yu Shijiu was planning to do, immediately realized what she was up to, and his heart started pounding.

"What are you going to do?"

Lu Chusheng asked in a deep voice.

"What?"

Yu Shijiu had already stood up. He waved the flashlight in his hand, and Lu Chusheng felt that the flashlight was a little brighter than usual, whether it was his imagination or not.

"I'd like to find someone to talk to. Captain Lu, what do you think of my idea?"

Lu Chusheng paused for a second, instinctively wanting to object to the other party's dangerous suggestion, but he swallowed the words back.

"...I'll go with you."

"..."

Yu Shijiu glanced at Lu Chusheng in surprise, and her eyes curved slightly when she confirmed that he really intended to accompany her.

"Okay."

The boy nodded cheerfully, and the flashlight beam swayed wildly amidst the chaos.

"Let's go now."

"……it is good."

"But before that, we need to take a look down the hallway."

Lu Chusheng thought of a suspicious point and said.

"of course can."

Yu Shijiu nodded, "It's not too late for us to go find that person after we finish watching, since we're both on the second floor anyway."

"..."

As the two figures gradually disappeared into the bedroom filled with the heavy smell of blood, the "stepmother," whose body was covered by Lu Chusheng and whose eyelids were closed by Yu Shijiu, suddenly moved.

With a "crackling" sound as the bones twisted, the stepmother's contorted limbs and head began to tremble slowly. She lowered her head slowly, and her pale, skeletal hands gently touched her abdomen.

Her once prominent belly, hidden beneath her wide skirt, is now flat and perfectly smooth.

“…Mine, mine…”

Its head was bowed, and its once beautiful, black hair was now a tangled mess of weeds, showing no signs of life.

"My...my child!!!!"

The stepmother's voice was shrill and pained. She stared at the bloodstains around her, writhing on the carpet, searching frantically for her child, who was now completely unrecognizable…

Why, why, why didn't anyone come to save her... why didn't anyone help her save her child...

They must be killed! They must be killed! These vicious people who refused to help those in need…

It lay prone on the ground, tears streaming from its torn mouth, and from between its twisted limbs, a long, translucent, flesh-colored umbilical cord slowly emerged...

----------

in the corridor.

Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng walked on the blood-soaked carpet, and with each step, a shallow layer of blood foam appeared around the soles of their shoes.

"Do they watch their doors?"

Yu Shijiu turned her head to look at the doors around her that were all marked with bloody handprints, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

“I don’t think we need to look. It’s obvious that they’ve all been marked by their stepmother.”

The stepmother is clearly calling for help tonight. Any player who hears the sound but doesn't come out will be resented by the bewitched stepmother. The player will be fine on the first night... but tomorrow night is another story.

After all, the stepmother died so tragically, the players who were resented by her would only suffer even more.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chusheng silently closed his eyes and sighed.

"never mind."

Lu Chusheng stopped looking at the doorway, which was covered with his stepmother's bloody handprints pleading for help, and whispered:

"Who are you going to find?"

Yu Shijiu licked the corner of his mouth, the glint in his eyes reflecting repeatedly under the lamplight.

"Who?"

"Of course it's 'Young Master,' Captain Lu."

Yu Shijiu's voice was very low, and when he mentioned "Young Master," a strange laugh seemed to rise from deep in his throat due to great excitement.

The eerie laughter, like the hooting of an owl, echoed through the silent corridor, sending chills down one's spine.

"Captain Lu, don't tell me you didn't find out who killed your stepmother."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

As Lu Chusheng watched the bloodlust gradually rise in the eyes of the boy in front of him, his heart pounded faster and faster.

Yes.

The person who killed the stepmother was the "young master".

It's that "young master" who showed malice towards the players more than once during dinner.

Now, the other party has killed his stepmother due to his own loss of control.
