Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 509 Leaving the Door Open

He Lingling and Xu Han were panting heavily after the bumpy climb up the stairs to the third floor; they were completely exhausted.

"My God, climbing these stairs is much more tiring than exercising."

Xu Han wiped the sweat from his face with the back of his hand, and sighed as he carried the restless Xiao Li.

"Can't you be quiet for a bit? It's so tiring for me to carry you like this."

Xiao Li: "..."

Her eyes, bulging with crimson blood, writhed erratically in their sockets, and she glared at Xu Han with a twisted, hateful gaze.

Xu Han felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze, and licked his lips, not daring to look into Xiao Li's eyes any longer.

Good heavens, Xiao Li's eyes are really scary...

He Lingling calmed her racing heart, wiped her sweat, and said, "Don't stop, we're almost there, let's hurry and go back to the room first."

She paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Let's go to your room."

"?"

Xu Han couldn't believe it. "Why did you go to my room? My dog ​​runs around everywhere."

"It's ok."

He Lingling held onto the railing and continued walking uphill, saying, "Your place is safer."

"..." Xu Han muttered something, then resignedly continued carrying Xiao Li uphill.

At this moment, they were only one flight of stairs away from the third floor. The lights in the stairwell were dim, and the safety signs emitting a greenish glow looked a bit eerie. Xu Han didn't dare to stare at them for too long.

He has a vivid imagination, and if he stares at safety signs for too long, his mind starts to wander into strange and random thoughts.

Xu Han felt a chill run down his spine as he thought of something, swallowed hard, and quickened his pace to walk uphill.

He Lingling rubbed her calves and quickly caught up with Xu Han.

When the two men carried Xiao Li and pushed open the door to the fourth-floor stairwell, the lights in the corridor flickered briefly before quickly returning to normal.

Xu Han was startled when she opened the door and her breath caught in her throat. She quickly ran towards her room.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Xu Han urged as he ran. "Let's run faster, Chen and the others will probably be up soon."

He Lingling: "..."

She exhaled and chased after Xu Han.

He Lingling quickly followed Xu Han into the room. Before closing the door, she frowned and carefully observed the corridor, making sure there were no eyes watching them from the shadows before quietly closing the door.

"and many more!"

Xu Han tossed Xiao Li, who was on his shoulder, onto the sofa, and turned around to see He Lingling preparing to close the door. He quickly stopped her.

"what happened?"

He Lingling turned around, frowning as if she was about to say something, when she saw Xu Han rush to the bedside, grab the vase on the bedside table, and dash towards the door.

He Lingling: "..."

He Lingling's lips twitched slightly.

Xu Han quietly carried the vase in her arms to the corridor, found an empty room, put the vase down at the door, and tiptoed back into the room to close the door.

"call--"

Xu Han patted his chest. "Didn't you say that human heads would grow out of these vases at night? Shouldn't we throw all the vases out right away?"

He Lingling gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised, "Finally, you've got a brain! Xu Han, you're amazing!"

Xu Han's lips curled into a smile at the compliment, but he held it back, secretly pleased:

"No, no, it's just something ordinary, just thinking about it, haha."

He Lingling suppressed a laugh, "Okay, very impressive, very ordinary... Let's go and gag Xiao Li even more tightly."

"it is good."

Feeling ecstatic from the praise, Xu Han instantly felt refreshed and walked towards Xiao Li on the sofa—

"Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!!!"

The Samoyed, who was sleeping on the bed, was woken up. It opened its mouth wide in confusion and barked several times, barking incessantly at Xu Han.

Xu Han paused in his steps.

He then quickly winked at He Lingling, meaning that He Lingling should "comfort" the dog.

He Lingling: "..."

She glanced speechlessly at the Samoyed that was about to jump off the bed, sighed, and walked towards the Samoyed.

"Good boy, good dog," He Lingling gently stroked the Samoyed's head and said softly, "Don't bark, okay? Let's play together for a while, okay?"

The Samoyed stared at her with its round eyes and nuzzled He Lingling's head.

The soft fur and the faint, distinctive scent of dogs wafted over, making He Lingling's smile appear much more genuine.

The smell of puppies is indeed wonderful; they smell so fluffy and sweet... Hehe, I'll hug them a little longer.

While He Lingling was petting the dog with great energy, Xu Han took out several towels from the bathroom and wrapped them around Xiao Li's entire head.

Li, whose eyes were even covered: "..."

Xu Han looked carefully at Xiao Li, who was wrapped up like a dumpling on the sofa, stroked his chin and looked at him carefully for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands.

"I forgot, I forgot, I forgot—" Xu Han looked around, his gaze landing on the fruit knife on the coffee table not far away.

"...We can't leave no holes, what if they suffocate later?"

Xu Han muttered to himself as he made a few slashes on Xiao Li's nose with a fruit knife, giving Xiao Li some breathing space before letting out a sigh of relief.

Li, who is no longer alive, was speechless.

He nodded, looked left and right for a while, and walked towards He Lingling with satisfaction.

He Lingling, who witnessed the whole thing: "..."

She paused for a few seconds, then exclaimed "Wow!" and continued her mindless praise.

"Xu Han, you're amazing! You even thought of things like breathing so carefully."

"Not at all," Xu Han straightened his back and said modestly, "Just thinking about it, haha, just thinking about it casually, haha..."

"..."

He Lingling smiled silently, not revealing Xu Han's secret delight.

Let Xu Han's confidence soar for a while.

After all, in some ways, Xu Han did... quite well.

The fact that you could think of whether a strange NPC could breathe can also be described as being meticulous.

----------

In the stairwell.

Disappointed, Yu Shijiu climbed to the fourth floor with Chen Yi, but found nothing amiss.

"Why is there nothing?"

Yu Shijiu muttered something and reached out to push open the door to the fourth-floor stairwell.

Chen Yi was both amused and exasperated. "You must be the only player out there who wants to encounter danger."

Yu Shijiu was unusually embarrassed by the comment, "No, I don't think I'm the only one."

Chen Yi smiled and shook his head, "Maybe, but so far I've only seen Shi Jiu, you."

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He mumbled a few words, bent down and scratched his chubby head, "Should I go back to my room and rest for a while?"

Chen Yi nodded, "You go back first, I need to go to the third floor to bring Lingling's pet over."

"Uh-huh."

Yu Shijiu nodded obediently, "Then I'll leave the door open for you, Brother Chen."

"No!" Chen Yi quickly stopped him. "I'll knock, please don't leave the door open."

Given Yu Shijiu's current highly sought-after status, leaving the door open... is really quite dangerous.
