Infinite: Dawn Game

Liu Yao reached out and tugged at her boyfriend's arm. Wang Han swallowed hard, looked at her, and winked.

Why are you pulling me? Are we looking for a chance to slip away?

Liu Yao understood what her boyfriend was trying to say: "..."

She hesitated for a second, then nodded slightly and gritted her teeth as she moved back little by little.

There's no way around it; they can't afford to offend either Yu Shijiu or Mu Tangtang. If they can't afford to offend them, they'd better leave as soon as possible.

"That's it."

Surprisingly, Xylitol's performance has regressed.

The adorable little girl in the princess dress took a few steps backward, grabbed Grandma Mu's hand hanging by her side, and sighed softly.

"Since brother also likes to eat, Tangtang won't say so many annoying things."

"Grandma," Mu Tangtang gently tugged at Grandma Mu's hand, "Let's go home."

Grandma Mu's gaze returned to Yu Shijiu in front of her, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened.

Yu Shijiu and Grandma Mu locked eyes for a few seconds, and Yu Shijiu vaguely felt that the other's gaze was a little strange.

But if I really had to say what it is... it's hard to say exactly what it is.

"Isn't Tangtang going to eat anymore?"

Grandma Mu looked away and gently stroked her granddaughter's hair.

Xylitol shook its head.

"I'm not eating it anymore. I can buy it again tomorrow, it's the same thing."

After saying that, Mu Tangtang waved to Yu Shijiu with a smile, "See you next time, brother."

Yu Shijiu: "?"

What do you mean, "see you next time"?

Why can't he understand what Xylitol is saying?

In front of them, Mu Tangtang was already pulling Grandma Mu toward the store entrance, pausing for a moment as she passed Liu Yao and Wang Han, who were trying to leave but hadn't.

Liu Yao and Wang Han: "..."

The two tried their best to suppress their smiles and nodded at Mutangtang with beaming smiles.

Goodbye, older brother and sister.

Mutangtang pulled Grandma Mu aside, said goodbye to Liu Yao and the other woman, and then walked straight out of the store.

Only when the store door made a soft closing sound did Liu Yao and Wang Han finally breathe a sigh of relief and gasp for air.

"Oh my god."

Liu Yao patted her chest, still shaken, and said, "It really scared me to death. I didn't even dare to breathe."

"Sigh, I bet Mushroom Tang doesn't remember our faces..."

Wang Han was a little worried about this.

Liu Yao was indeed stunned for a second, and her face turned pale instantly.

"I...I don't think so?"

Yu Shijiu didn't show any curiosity. He continued to lead Feifei to pick out new snacks on the shelf, but his eyes were already drawn to another super-sized spicy strip.

"...It's huge."

Yu Shijiu stared in shock at the spicy strips, which were nearly half a person tall and placed on the upper shelf, and thought of Xu Han.

"Hehehe, last time I went shopping with Anjie, I saw a giant spicy snack. Judging from the packaging, it looked like those super spicy sticks, and it looked delicious. Of course, it was also quite big, but Anjie wouldn't buy it for me... saying it was too expensive, blah blah blah..."

With the illusory mutterings of Xu Han filling Yu Shijiu's ears, he reached out and took the giant spicy strip without any hesitation.

After taking it down, Yu Shijiu held the bag of spicy strips and thought about it seriously for a while. Finally, he decided to give one to each of Xu Han and An Jie at lunchtime... and he and Feifei would eat the rest.

Fatty, who silently straightened up and pushed the shopping cart behind him, thought: "..."

It squinted at Yu Shijiu, who was holding a bag of spicy strips and seemed to be thinking about something, and made gurgling sounds in its throat.

Forget it, meow! Shi Jiu's owner doesn't listen to her at all, meow!! I'm so angry, meow! Meow, that stupid owner always wastes money, meow meow meow!!

Unfortunately, Yu Shijiu didn't understand its string of cat language at all... Speaking of which, didn't Chen Yi give him a prop that could understand cat language?

Yu Shijiu listened to the incessant meowing of a cat in his ear and took out the prop from his backpack.

The fat, green eyes lit up when they saw the prop that Yu Shijiu had put in his hand.

This thing... it seems to have been given to me by that chubby, fair-skinned Brother Chen...

The fat man's tail wagged excitedly behind his bottom.

Just as Yu Shijiu was studying whether the translation tool could be used simply by pressing a switch, he heard Liu Yao's cautious voice beside him.

"Um, Yu Shijiu," Liu Yao leaned a little closer and whispered:

"You need to be careful of Xylitol and her grandma."

"Ok?"

Yu Shijiu looked up, staring blankly at Liu Yao and Wang Han who were still there, and tilted her head in surprise.

"why?"

Liu Yao looked at him and sighed, "The two of them, well, let's just try not to get too close to them."

Wang Han nodded in agreement, "Yao Yao and I don't know much about Mu Tangtang and her granddaughter, but we've heard some things about them from other players."

"...They really did eat human flesh."

"..."

After they finished speaking, they held their breath and waited for Yu Shijiu's reaction.

Yu Shijiu seemed genuinely stunned for a few seconds, then raised an eyebrow, "That's it?"

Liu Yao and Wang Han: "..."

What does this mean?

Did you see them eating human flesh with your own eyes?

"...No, that's not true."

Yu Shijiu stroked the cat's head as it pushed the shopping cart over, and said casually:

"Besides, what's wrong with eating human flesh? Even if they really did eat human flesh, we have to consider the circumstances under which they did it. Do you know why they ate it?"

"...I really don't know either."

Liu Yao and Wang Han were sweating profusely from Yu Shijiu's questions.

That's why.

Yu Shijiu scratched his chubby chin, "Maybe Mu Tangtang and the other one didn't eat human flesh?"

That said, eating human flesh... does seem rather disgusting...

Yu Shijiu paused for a second after thinking about this, then pretended to be nonchalant and continued petting the cat.

Well, that's just a possibility, only a possibility.

"……you're right."

Liu Yao sighed, "It seems I can't always listen to what others say anymore."

Wang Han, standing next to him, had a somewhat distorted expression. He wanted to say something, but couldn't get the words out.

"I've bought everything," Yu Shijiu tossed the last bottle of cola into the shopping cart, let Feifei stand up and push the cart, and then smiled and said goodbye.

"I have something to do, you guys can explore on your own."

Liu Yao and Wang Han: "...Okay, take care."

After Yu Shijiu and Feifei's figures disappeared through the store's door, Wang Han, who had been holding back for a while, whispered:

“Yaoyao, although what Yu Shijiu said earlier makes sense, let’s try to keep our distance from Mutangtang and her granddaughter…”

“I know,” Liu Yao wiped her face, “Although it’s just hearsay and doesn’t seem very credible, I really don’t have a good feeling about the two of them…”

--------

Chrysalis shop.

Yu Shijiu and Feifei stared at the densely packed "pupa" in the pupa shop, looking carefully again and again, but they couldn't see the middle-aged man who had bought them lunch boxes before.
