Chapter 271: Attack

The day after the guard mission ended, Lu Yunze basically locked himself in the Bedroom and spent the whole day there.

Unless he was playing games with classmates, he rarely sat at the desk thinking for an entire afternoon like now.

‘What should I choose?’

At first he thought it was a simple choice, but the more he thought, the more complicated it became. By the time he came back to his senses, it was almost dark.

Lu Yunze looked at the sunset outside the window, sighed, and then continued looking at his shopping cart.

‘How should I buy it?’

“So even Young Master has choice paralysis?”

“Ah!?”

Hearing Jiang Sui’s voice, Lu Yunze reacted exaggeratedly. He hid his Mobile Phone while turning his head, and as a result his cheek was poked into a dent by Jiang Sui’s extended finger, looking especially comical.

“You—how did you get here?”

Lu Yunze was already used to her appearing in his Bedroom. It felt like as long as it was the Bedroom he slept in, no door could stop Jiang Sui.

“Young Master, did you not hear the commotion outside?”

Hearing that, Lu Yunze indeed paused, noticing that downstairs seemed quite lively.

Jiang Sui pinched her chin and spoke with interest:

“What could make Young Master so serious? Are you preparing something, a New Year gift?”

“Ah, yes, it really is a gift.”

Lu Yunze chuckled, thinking that it really was a gift, but not a New Year gift.

To end the topic, he quickly asked what had happened downstairs.

“Why doesn’t Young Master go take a look himself?”

Lu Yunze had no choice but to temporarily set aside the shopping and got up to go downstairs.

Unexpectedly, a guest had come, and an important figure from yesterday’s protection mission at that: Official Liu.

As soon as he saw Lu Yunze and the others, he was all smiles, repeatedly praising their performance yesterday to Luo Qiaoying.

Official Liu had come this time to express his thanks and invite them to a dinner banquet as a return gift for saving his and his daughter’s lives.

Luo Yao and Luo Heng both wanted to go; it didn’t matter whether Lu Yunze went or not. Luo Qiaoying also had no objection, but before they left she reminded them not to play too wildly and not to eat so much that they stuffed themselves sick.

Everyone set off together. To prevent anyone from getting dead drunk, they also brought two Servants, including Jiang Sui.

The place Official Liu invited them to was a famous Western Restaurant in Donghai City. This place was chosen because, on one hand, it was prestigious enough, and on the other, it was recently holding a strange event.

Just how strange it was, Lu Yunze saw the moment he walked in.

The female Waiters here were all bunny girls, uniformly!

Smooth backs exposed to the air, Uniforms revealing soul-captivating deep cleavage, and various sizes of long legs wrapped in the same style of fishnet stockings.

The entire restaurant, because of the appearance of the bunny girl Waiters, was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and the guests, especially the male guests, were smiling so widely they could not close their mouths.

“This is an old tradition of this restaurant, an event held once every year,” Official Liu explained. “I heard the Boss and his wife used to run a small business and grew step by step by using bunny girls to attract customers.”

“Well, that is indeed strange.”

As soon as everyone sat down in the private room, a bunny girl walked over with a catwalk and swaying hips to Lu Yunze’s side and set down the menu.

“What would you all like to eat?”

With a sweet voice and fresh fragrance, Lu Yunze coughed once and remained completely composed.

After ordering, the dishes were quickly brought to the table, and everyone immediately began enjoying the sumptuous dinner.

Halfway through the meal, Lu Yunze said he needed to use the bathroom. He got up and left the private room, and just as he came out he heard teasing from behind:

“Young Master seems to really like bunny girls.”

“Why did you follow me?”

“No, I’ve been guarding outside the door the whole time.” Jiang Sui grinned with an ehehe.

‘Really?’

Lu Yunze remembered that before he got up, he had seen her standing in the corner, staring fixedly at him with a gaze that had an intense presence, making him restless.

“Young Master still hasn’t answered my question. Do you like bunny girls?”

“Ah, um… I do like them a little.”

Hearing that, Jiang Sui did not darken her expression; instead she pinched a corner of her skirt and muttered:

“Could it be that you’re tired of seeing Maid Uniforms every day, so you want a change of flavor?”

“Not at all. I think Maid Uniforms also really do it for me.”

“Really?” Jiang Sui tilted her head.

“Could it be fake?”

Although Lu Yunze explained it that way, Jiang Sui’s gaze remained intriguing, as if she were thinking of something naughty.

Fortunately, after that Jiang Sui did not continue pestering him at the table; she merely stood in the corner of the private room, silently watching him.

“Aren’t you going to eat something?”

“No, I’m not hungry. I don’t have much appetite.”

The other Maid accompanying them had long been starving, so she joined the meal, and no one blamed her.

Jiang Sui refused Lu Yunze’s kindness several times, each time saying she had no appetite, but she never mentioned why she had no appetite.

After waking up today, she had felt sore all over and listless. Her neck especially ached, and it didn’t seem like a stiff neck from sleeping wrong.

Jiang Sui thought she was just too tired and would be fine after resting for a couple of days.

After dinner ended, everyone said goodbye to Official Liu and returned to Luo Qiaoying’s residence.

“You didn’t eat anything tonight. Are you really okay?”

Lu Yunze came to check on her again before she returned to her room.

Jiang Sui wasn’t in the mood to banter with him, so she smiled mischievously:

“If I said I wanted to eat Young Master, would Young Master let me eat him?”

Lu Yunze blinked, rolled up his sleeve, and raised his arm, his expression as if saying: Come.

Jiang Sui only chuckled at that, then entered her own room.

Feeling her body grow heavier and heavier, Jiang Sui took a shower early and lay down on the bed.

Usually at this time she would still be holding strategy meetings with the Black Cat, but after Senior Cat said she had to leave for a while, she still hadn’t returned, and Jiang Sui suddenly had a lot more time.

Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and Jiang Sui soon closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

‘Where is this?’

Jiang Sui suddenly opened her eyes, feeling that something was very wrong.

She got out of bed, went to the Corridor, and wandered aimlessly until she reached the Living Room.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside. Even without turning on the light, Jiang Sui could see the corpses on the Living Room floor.

They were all people she knew—Luo Yao, Luo Heng, even Luo Qiaoying had not been spared. Everyone had become cold corpses, their hideous expressions fixed on her.

Jiang Sui felt a wave of nausea, but she held it back.

Her gaze swept across the floor once and finally stopped on that corpse.

‘Is this real or fake?’

“Lu Yunze?”

‘Why is he among them?’

The same manner of death, the same hideous expression, and the same gaze fixed on her.

Jiang Sui’s breathing quickened rapidly; she wanted to run over, but her body was out of her control.

Just then, the Puppets sitting in the corner raised their heads under a flash of lightning.

They raised their knives and walked toward Jiang Sui in perfect unison, the blades reflecting the cold light of electric arcs.

“Tsk, I’m so thirsty. I should’ve known better than to drink so many drinks.”

She had played too wildly tonight, and Luo Yao had fallen asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, but she woke again after only half an hour, her mouth dry.

She left her Bedroom, went to the Living Room to drink water, and thunder was rumbling outside; it looked like it was going to rain.

“Mm, I still want something sweet.”

A loud, muffled thunderclap exploded by her ear and illuminated a face behind Luo Yao.

“Jiang Sui?!”

Luo Yao was badly startled; only after turning around and seeing it was one of their own did she sigh in relief.

“What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?”

Anger rose in Luo Yao, and she directly pushed Jiang Sui’s shoulder aside and walked to the Sofa.

“I’m thirsty. Get me some milk from the Refrigerator. Oh, and go close the curtains; it’s going to rain heavily.”

Luo Yao rubbed her temples as she spoke, and only reached out when Jiang Sui’s footsteps approached.

The Little Maid standing beside her revealed what was in her hand—not bottled milk, but a sharp fruit knife, whose blade even reflected Luo Yao’s face for a moment.

Boom!

Another clap of thunder, and Lu Yunze suddenly woke from his dream, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He had had a bad dream about Jiang Sui; in the dream, the girl died in a very tragic way.

‘Was it because she had been acting a little off tonight?’

“Aaaaah!”

A scream cut through the quiet residence; Lu Yunze’s heart lurched, and he immediately jumped out of bed.

He did not go to the Living Room right away; instead he first went to Jiang Sui’s room and found the door open, yet no one was inside.

Lu Yunze hurried to the Living Room and happened to see an even more astonishing scene.

“Jiang Sui, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill your master?!”

The suddenly thrust fruit knife was caught by Luo Yao’s hand in the emergency, and thin blood seeped out, dripping onto the floor.

Luo Yao discovered that Jiang Sui’s strength was tremendous; she actually could not match her and was forced back to the wall step by step.

Seeing the blade draw closer and closer to her chest, Luo Yao’s expression twisted, and she used Wind Control Power.

The burst of wind knocked Jiang Sui away; just as she was about to hit the table, luckily Lu Yunze dove over in time and caught her in his arms.

“Brother Lu?!”

Luo Yao was stunned for a moment.

“Why did you save her?”

“Wait, this is a misunderstanding.”

“What misunderstanding? Are you saying this wasn’t your intention?”

“I mean, Jiang Sui is being controlled right now!” Lu Yunze shouted outright, stunning Luo Yao.

When had Luo Yao ever seen him yell at her like that? She was dazed for a moment.

“That Secret Arts Practitioner from last night—she’s back!”

“Huh?”

Luo Yao had been knocked out at the time and didn’t know, but Lu Yunze remembered clearly: Jiang Sui’s current state was exactly the same as Lili’s last night.

Expressionless, stronger, only able to do one thing: “killing.”

Lu Yunze whispered an apology in her ear and was about to use a grappling hold to restrain her.

Just then, the girl in his arms let out a faint, trembling voice:

“Young Master.”

“You’re awake?”

“Young Master, you’re hurting me.”
