Infinite: Dawn Game

At this moment, Yu Shijiu, who was unanimously considered a "fool" by all the players, took a step back with some disdain when he saw that Liu Laosan still looked dazed.

He turned his head to look at Yang Wan, an elderly woman with a pale face:

"Grandma, why don't you talk to the village chief yourself?"

Yang Wan: "..."

She felt the gazes of the elderly people around her and the village chief fixed on her, and her hands hanging at her sides trembled.

Is he really an idiot?

Yang Wan was in despair.

Liu Laosan finally snapped out of his shock. He looked at the unpredictable young man in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze:

"You said you went to the ancestral hall last night, so you're the one who burned it down, right?"

"?" Yu Shijiu was instantly shocked, his almond-shaped eyes widening in disbelief. He shook his head and said:

"Don't slander me, I didn't burn down the ancestral hall."

Liu Laosan was also dumbfounded: "You said you went to the ancestral hall, so if you didn't burn it down, who else could have done it?"

The elderly people nearby also joined in shouting:

"That's right, I saw you go to the ancestral hall alone. Isn't that the ancestral hall you burned down?"

"Yes, I couldn't sleep and got up to see him. Old Mrs. Liu wouldn't admit it, but look, she's admitted it herself now!"

"That's it!"

"..."

For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with the scolding and roaring of the old people. Yu Shijiu, the protagonist, just watched them and lazily yawned as the old people's voices grew louder.

Only after the elderly realized that the "culprit" hadn't stopped speaking did Yu Shijiu say:

"Have the grandparents finished talking?"

The elderly people: "..."

The surrounding players who were watching the show: "..."

You're quite polite.

Seeing that Yu Shijiu was still looking lazy, Liu Laosan's smile almost faded, and his usually gentle tone became somewhat stiff:

"Guest, please don't tease us old folks. All we need is an answer."

"is it?"

Yu Shijiu: "If I said I burned it, would you still be so polite?"

Liu Laosan and the other elderly people: "..."

That's impossible. If Yu Shijiu admits it, they'll definitely take action to appease the "God Lord"—

"What a pity, I really didn't burn it," Yu Shijiu said sincerely.

"I just went to get a lantern."

Take a lantern?

Upon hearing this, not only the elderly but even the players who were just watching the spectacle were somewhat incredulous.

Just take a lantern?

Lin Feng had just finished explaining the requirements for recruiting for the inspection team to An Li. She looked at Yu Shijiu, who was surrounded by the elderly people in a circle, and took a deep breath.

Lin Feng, who had some dealings with Yu Shijiu, now sees things very clearly.

Yu Shijiu may seem genuinely "innocent and naive," even falling into such an obvious trap set by the monsters, but in reality, she is incredibly wicked... For example, right now, Yu Shijiu is clearly playing these old people for a fool.

Ironically, apart from Liu Laosan, none of the elderly people seemed to have realized what was happening.

"What are you going to do with the lantern?"

This time, it wasn't even Liu Laosan who spoke, but Yang Wan, who hadn't said a word from the beginning.

She looked extremely anxious at that moment, her aged and wrinkled face covered in cold sweat, with beads of sweat dripping down her forehead and finally into her deep wrinkles.

Yu Shijiu said, seemingly "honestly," "Because I don't have a lamp."

Yang Wan: "..."

She closed her eyes briefly, her expression one of complete acceptance: "Next time, just ask me for a flashlight."

Yu Shijiu exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Thank you, Grandma!"

Yang Wan glanced at him but didn't say anything.

The elderly people, including Liu Laosan, were extremely anxious. Liu Laosan even said directly:

"You can't trust what he says, so why should we only listen to him—"

"Why not?"

Lin Feng, speaking in a low voice, seemed surprised:

"Wasn't that old man's side of the story just now also his own?"

The crowd was silent.

Liu Laosan's originally kind face suddenly turned cold, his snake-like eyes piercing the group of players as he coldly said:

"Which guest said this? Please step forward."

An Li, who was next to Lin Feng, took a quiet breath and looked at Lin Feng with some worry.

Lin Feng made no attempt to hide herself; she stepped out of the crowd and looked at Liu Laosan, who had a stunned expression on his face.

"it's me."

Liu Laosan: "..."

Upon seeing that it was Lin Feng, Liu Laosan's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

Lin Feng was the person he "chose," just like Yang Wan chose that boy...

Yang Wan finally found her chance. She looked at Liu Laosan with a cold smile and said:

"This looks like a tourist invited to the village by the village chief, right? What do you think, village chief?"

Liu Laosan's expression changed repeatedly.

"What are you doing here!"

For the first time, Liu Laosan couldn't help but reprimand the "tourist." He angrily pointed at Lin Feng, his voice sharp and shrill for the first time, and even his mouth and eyes seemed to begin to distort.

“I’ve already said it! Since he admitted to going to the ancestral hall last night, then he must have burned it down! No one is allowed to say another word!”

The crowd was silent.

Looking at Liu Laosan's obviously distorted and twisted eye sockets, Lin Feng's fear dissipated considerably.

Liu Laosan's anger now only means that Lin Feng has challenged his "authority".

The "authority" of the village head.

"is it?"

Lin Feng said calmly, "But we don't seem to be under your jurisdiction."

"You!" Liu Laosan was so angry that his eyes popped out, and thin, purplish-red nerve endings fell to his chest. His bloodshot eyes rushed directly at Yu Shijiu.

Yu Shijiu, who was watching the show from the sidelines: "?"

What does this have to do with him?

Just as Yu Shijiu was about to cut off the village chief's monstrous eyes, a huge orange shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.

"Meow!"

Accompanied by Fatty's sharp meow, the long, attacking eyeballs were fiercely bitten by Fatty's open mouth!

The next second, village chief Liu Laosan let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Before Feifei could bite off the nerve behind his own eyeball, Liu Laosan quickly withdrew his eyeball.

Fatty's mouth slipped, and crimson blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

It arched its body towards Liu Laosan, who had fallen to the ground due to the recoil, and kept panting.

This scene left many people stunned.

Some new players who had just joined and didn't know Fatty yet stared at it in disbelief.

The bite force is strong enough to injure a monster... Can a pet really do that?!

"Where did you get this cat? Can I go find one?"

One player in the crowd couldn't help but whisper, "If I could get an orange cat like that, I'd be willing to log into the game..."

"...Come on, you're kidding me," one of the players who knew the situation rolled their eyes.

“That belongs to Lu Chusheng.”

The first player opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Yu Shijiu looked at Liu Laosan, who was covering his eyes and screaming in pain, his dimples appearing and disappearing.

"Village chief, do you have any more questions?"
