Lin Yin opened his eyes.
Her consciousness was a little hazy, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare. The dizziness lingered in her mind, and it took her three minutes to regain control of her body.
"Why did I... faint?"
She slowly sat up, holding her aching head, and realized that she must have experienced something terrible before she fell into a coma.
In front of her was a dark ceiling, and a thick, strange smell still lingered. She sat up from the bed, opened the door, and found that the hall was empty. The clock on the wall was approaching twelve o'clock in the evening.
Ten bowls and plates were still placed on the table in the hall, but the dishes had been cleared away. Then she remembered what had happened - she fainted after eating these dishes.
When Noel and the others started eating the horrible New Year's Eve dinner, the clever Bei Wang quickly found an opportunity to run away. Lu and Luna also found an opportunity to leave the hall soon. Only Noel and Lu Shu were still swallowing until someone from the New World Guild came and called Noel away.
Finally, Lu Shu was the only one left in the hall, eating diligently. Seeing him eating so happily, Lin Yin couldn't help but try a bite... Then she became dizzy and lost consciousness, and slept until now.
...What kind of New Year’s Eve dinner is this!
It's simply poison!
Lin Yin was furious when she recalled this. She looked up at the closed doors. At this time, most people were already asleep.
Lin Yin relied on her memory and went upstairs to find Lu Shu's room. According to her judgment, Lu Shu, who often suffers from insomnia, should be awake now. She wanted to ask Lu Shu how he could eat all those dishes. It was simply shit.
She walked to the door and suddenly heard a sound coming from Lu Shu's room.
"...Are you going to continue like this?" An unfamiliar male voice came from inside the door. The voice was low and magnetic, not like a long-distance communication, but more like it was right inside Lu Shu's room.
Is there a stranger in the room?
Lin Yin held his breath and leaned over to the door to listen carefully.
"...Why not?" Lu Shu's voice.
"...You used to look half dead. Apart from holding your knife, you would wander around the unfinished buildings in the city all day long. You slept under bridges, picked up scraps, ate garbage thrown away by other children, and were driven away by the urban management as a beggar. When I looked at you during that period, I felt that you were living a life worse than death...Your life is good now, but is that enough? Xiaoshu, have you ever thought about what to do with your terminal illness after returning to reality? Look at your hair color, it can't be saved." A strange voice.
“…Sure, there will be rewards after the world game ends, which should be able to cure my illness.” Lu Shu’s voice.
"...I really haven't seen you so happy in a long time. When you were eating tonight, I felt that you were really happy in your heart. I am happy for you to be able to celebrate a Dragon Country New Year and have a New Year's Eve dinner in this world." A strange voice.
Lu Shu hummed.
"...Do you want to continue living like this?" A strange voice.
"...Of course." Lu Shu's voice.
"…Even if you will die in a year?" a strange voice.
“…No. Even if I die, I have already found the meaning of living.” Lu Shu’s voice.
"...So, this is why you can eat so many disgusting dishes? For the faith in your heart? Gu Wu wants you to go back and recognize your ancestors, Xiaoshu, they said that they will return your parents' tablets to the ancestral hall. Maybe they have found the people who burned your house that year." A strange voice: "Do you want to go back and take a look? They should be able to give you an explanation. The reason why you still insist on not committing suicide is to avenge your parents, right?"
“…They are nothing more than scapegoats. Some people wanted me dead back then. Even though I am rich now, they may not tell the truth. I know I am not smart, and I would not be able to tell if they were fooling me.” Lu Shu’s voice.
"...Then do you want to go back?" a strange voice.
Lu Shu was silent.
"...I understand." A strange voice.
The conversation ended and there was silence inside the door.
Lin Yin covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes flickering. She knew from a young age that something had happened in Lu Shu's family, but who was this strange voice that was talking to Lu Shu...?
She covered her mouth and slowly backed away, trying not to make any sound. But she heard a creaking sound, and the door in front of her was pushed open.
The warm yellow light from the room spilled out, and a tall figure in Hanfu stood in front of the door.
"Lin Yin?" Lu Shu opened the door and raised his eyes: "What are you doing here?"
Lin Yin knew she had been discovered, so she simply didn't try to hide it, and looked directly inside the door: "Lü Shu, it's midnight, who is the man in your room?"
“I didn’t…” Lu Shu denied subconsciously.
Lin Yin quickly rushed into Lu Shu's room, glanced at the wide-open wardrobe, and tried to see if there was anyone hiding among the clothes.
Everyone has the responsibility to be vigilant against the recurrence of HaiLan Home incidents.
Lu Shu silently watched Lin Yin search. They had known each other since childhood, and Lin Yin's behavior was not considered to be crossing the line.
Finally, Lin Yin turned around, looking puzzled. She did not find anyone in Lu Shu's room. The doors and windows were also closed, and there was no sign of anyone jumping out of the window.
She glanced around and suddenly found Xiaobi on Lu Shu's shoulder. This mantis usually went to sleep at midnight, but now it was full of energy.
She had a vague guess in her mind, but she kept it to herself: "Okay, then I'm going to bed. I'm just passing by."
“Yeah.” Lu Shu nodded and watched Lin Yin go away.
Lin Yin's room was clearly on the second floor, and no one knew how she happened to pass by the third floor.
Until the door closed, the mantis on Lu Shu's shoulder spoke: "Xiao Shu, although you are not smart, you have smart friends."
