Chapter 28 Dawn

This time, for Lu Xiaoyao, it was another blink of an eye, and dawn broke.

"Huh? Bai Xiao, you're up so early~"

When Lu Xiaoyao woke up, Bai Xiao was already getting dressed.

Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's voice, Bai Xiao felt a little guilty and turned back to smile at her.

Heaven knows how horrified she was when she woke up at dawn and realized she had fallen asleep again, but then she discovered that nothing had happened to her.

Then, she turned her head to look at Lu Xiaoyao, who was sleeping in her bed, and when she saw that she was also fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She gently carried the still-sleeping Lu Xiaoyao back to her own bed before getting dressed.

But as soon as she put her down, Lu Xiaoyao woke up.

"Yeah, I saw you weren't awake, so I didn't call you."

"Calling or not, it's the same. The bed's already cold, so I should wake up."

Lu Xiaoyao rubbed her messy hair and said, "My system still says I didn't dream all night and slept soundly. What about you?"

"Me? Me too."

That's a lie!

The system actually told her that her sleeping posture wasn't good, causing muscle pain all over her body, which made Bai Xiao feel a little guilty. The backend detection is really something.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyao's system didn't tell her that she had slept from one bed to another during the night.

After Lu Xiaoyao got up and got ready, Bai Xiao took a step forward and opened the door, using her foot to step on the small note that had fallen from the door.

No one came in last night?

Confirming this, Bai Xiao's expression completely relaxed.

So, she stood at the door, opening her mouth to say something to Lu Xiaoyao, when suddenly, Bai Xiao's face turned green.

"Huh? What's wrong with you..."

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoyao didn't know what was going on, so she stepped forward and stood at the door as well. Immediately, not only did her face turn green, but it also twisted—

Oh, sh*t!

What is this smell?!

An indescribable stench wafted through the hallway.

One whiff makes you want to vomit, one inhale sends you to heaven!

"Ugh!"

Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but gag, and Bai Xiao also stiffened her face, grabbed Lu Xiaoyao, pulled her back into the room, and slammed the door shut!

[What the heck?! What's going on? What's going on?]

[What happened? I don't understand?]

[Huh! As soon as they opened the door, their expressions were off. Could it be they saw something?]

[Bull! I have a third-person perspective, and everything around is clean. Nothing at all.]

[Then what is it?]

[What exactly is it?]

While the live stream was in an uproar, Mingmei, who had returned to her body, looked at Mu Chen, who was pulling up his collar to cover his face, and she had already guessed what was going on.

"Can that chives and chicken cutlet boxed lunch really cause such a bad breath?" Mingmei asked as she saw Mu Chen cautiously preparing to go out.

Last night, they finally chose to enter Zhen Po's room. Zhen Po was sleeping with his mouth open and snoring.

There was also the eaten chives and chicken cutlet boxed lunch on the bedside table.

At that time, Mu Chen smiled, looked at the broken piece of wood at the corner of Zhen Po's door, and told Mingmei two interesting things.

First, the butler had entered his room, as proven by the broken piece of wood that Zhen Po had placed behind the door.

Second, he had overheard the servants talking during the day that the butler had a very sensitive sense of smell and didn't like pungent smells.

Although Mu Chen didn't have time to explain in detail at the time, Mingmei could roughly guess what was going on.

"Game props, they should be a bit exaggerated... but—" Mu Chen said, actually unable to explain it clearly for a while, "It should be temporary."

After saying that, Mu Chen went out, and Mingmei waited for a while before going out as well. As soon as she went upstairs, she heard Lou Jia, with a dark face, standing with Julian at the door of her room.

Mingmei then saw a servant cleaning, um, the butler's vomit from last night.

No wonder.

Anyone would be pissed off if they found something like this in front of their door first thing in the morning.

Even the cleaning servant was unhappy. Not only did she have to clean this stuff first thing in the morning, but the whole floor smelled like it had been splattered with manure. The smell was still faint here, but further inside…

A stench that life couldn't bear!

Without the servant muttering, Mingmei had already noticed an indescribable smell.

A stench that was so obvious that it didn't need much description.

It was like eating a lot of beans and sweet potatoes alone and then farting in the quilt all night.

So terrible!

Mingmei just went upstairs and went down again, without any hesitation, and then directly opened Lu Xiaoyao's live stream remotely to watch.

Upstairs is toxic!

Danger!

As soon as she opened it, she saw Lu Xiaoyao with two cotton balls stuck in her nostrils, looking like she was about to die, following Bai Xiao towards the increasingly smelly depths of the corridor.

[Oh my god, how stinky is it?]

[Looking at my daughter's expression, I also want to...]

[!!! Stop with your dangerous thoughts!]

[Speaking of which, shouldn't this live stream platform be changed? Other live stream rooms can enable empathy, why can't escape games?]

[Probably afraid of leaving a psychological shadow on the players. After all, the feeling of the streamer dying in the game is not what the players want, right?]

[But we can't get boxed lunches either. Why do the streamers get boxed lunches when they enter the game, but I get either knives or bullets?]

[Pfft, the person in front exposed their non-chief bloodline!]

……

"This door is Zhen Po's. The door next door is Mu Chen's, who should we knock on first?"

Just as Lu Xiaoyao and Bai Xiao were talking about who to investigate, Mu Chen, who had just returned to his room, heard the movement and opened the door himself.

At this time, he was already wearing a mask, and his exposed eyebrows looked as if he was very angry: "Was someone splattered with dung at the door? Why is it so stinky so early in the morning?"

He directly shifted the suspicion to Zhen Po.

"Huh? You smelled it too?" Seeing Mu Chen like this, Bai Xiao and Lu Xiaoyao exchanged glances. So, the smell really came from Zhen Po's room?

Soon, Mu Chen directly bypassed Lu Xiaoyao and the others and knocked on Zhen Po's door. Naturally, a muffled response came from inside. Mu Chen heard clearly that it didn't sound like he had just woken up.

He didn't know what the other party had been doing inside for so long.

Then, he heard the sound of the door moving. Mu Chen realized that something was wrong and subconsciously retreated behind Lu Xiaoyao and the other two.

The next second, as Zhen Po's door opened, a devilish smell dozens of times stronger than outside hit Lu Xiaoyao and the others!

Lu Xiaoyao: !!!!

Bai Xiao: !!!!

Mingmei saw the petrified expressions of Lu Xiaoyao and Bai Xiao in the live stream. The cotton balls couldn't block the fierce stench!

The all-pervasive stench surrounded them, and Lu Xiaoyao's eyes were about to have spiral patterns, muttering: "This is, what kind of biochemical weapon is this?"

Bai Xiao couldn't bear it any longer and asked him directly: "Did you fart?"

Zhen Po: "…?"

"No!"

Zhen Po shook his head repeatedly, not knowing if he had gotten used to the smell. He didn't feel anything wrong with the surrounding air at all.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the words "suffocation" appeared on Lu Xiaoyao's face—

So stinky!!!!

Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with her sleeves, regardless of whether it was impolite or not, and asked, keeping a distance from Zhen Po: "Do you know that your breath is very bad?"

Zhen Po hesitated, standing in place, looking at the expressions of the three people in front of him. Zhen Po stretched out his hand, took two steps outwards, until he stood in a slightly less smelly place and waited for a while. Then, he took a breath—

"…"

Died.
