Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 443 I want to...go there

Chen Yi was not lying.

It was a long time ago.

While the male player, who had been corrupted by the blue cat, was attacking them, Chen Yi noticed that the female player's pet dog was constantly protecting its owner, and was even scratched several times by the corrupted male player.

I also heard the pet dog making sharp, pitiful cries and whimpers in its throat.

It was the voice of a girl who sounded very young.

But the female player didn't notice.

The female player was terrified; she didn't even know that the "girl" inside her pet skin was suffering terribly.

Under extreme pain, the pet's "backlash" may come even sooner.

Even before the elevator plummeted, the female player's pet dog desperately saved her.

From the perspective of a calm and indifferent bystander, this is nothing more than an act of snatching "prey".

Unfortunately, the female player seemed to have forgotten about Fang Xiaoxiao on the second floor.

"She was well protected."

Yu Shijiu smiled, her apricot-colored pupils gleaming with an eerie amber luster under the emergency lights.

He lowered his head, his fingers slowly and methodically tearing at the scabs of blood clinging to the hem of his trousers, his fingertips peeling away a dark red, hardened patch bit by bit, replying nonchalantly:

"So it's normal to be attacked back."

“Besides,” Yu Shijiu stopped what she was doing, tilted her head, looked at Chen Yi, and said with a smile:

"Brother Chen, you must have noticed that those players who started relying on 'pets' on the third floor have very weak awareness, right?"

"She was going to die sooner or later."

It's either today or tomorrow... it's just a matter of time.

Yu Shijiu didn't say the last sentence.

He actually still had some regrets.

After all, so far, only the female player whose head was swallowed by her pet dog has genuinely thanked him.

It's actually a bit of a shame that the other person died like that.

"……Um."

Chen Yi, standing beside him, seemed to be deep in thought; a smile appeared on his plump face.

"Shi Jiu, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Chen Yi praised him generously.

"But we need to find another place to hide now."

Chen Yi shook the prop in his hand, which was getting paler and paler, with a hint of helplessness. "Although I really don't want to say it, it's probably because there are just too many strange things around us."

Yu Shijiu looked outside the barrier.

Those who sensed something was wrong slowly stopped. Some of the human-pig monsters continued to chase after the other surviving players, while the remaining half of the human-pig monsters, with confused expressions on their twisted faces, continued to linger by the barrier and tentatively began to ram into it with their bodies.

"A prop that could originally last for forty minutes is now almost expired after only twenty minutes."

Chen Yi stood up helplessly, and after a brief moment of thought, decided to move about two meters toward the elevator.

"In my opinion, we can stay on the fourth floor."

Chen Yi pulled out another protective prop, saying, "As long as the prop can be used continuously, we can hold out until dawn. We can even take turns sleeping."

The place to sleep isn't as comfortable anymore.

"..."

It was very quiet around me.

Chen Yi's hand holding the prop trembled for no apparent reason, and his triple chin also quivered.

He turned his head to look at Yu Shijiu, who was still staring at the human-pig monsters outside the barrier without saying a word. "Shijiu?"

“…Oh.” Yu Shijiu turned her head to look at him, her almond-shaped eyes gleaming with an almost transparent, crazy light in the dim light.

As he spoke, he suddenly tilted his head, revealing half of his face beneath his disheveled, long black hair, which resembled a delicate, white porcelain doll. He spoke slowly:

"Brother Chen, what do you think about us changing direction and moving little by little?"

Chen Yi: "...Where?"

Chen Yi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"There."

Yu Shijiu pointed her slender index finger toward the end of the corridor.

Chen Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw countless mutilated, grotesque figures writhing and tangling like maggots in the thick, dim light at the end of the corridor. The rising and falling human groans, mixed with the sticky sounds of flesh rubbing together, wove together a nauseating, terrifying scene in the confined space, resembling a dense swarm of insects.

"Shall we try going up the stairs and see if that works?"

Ok?

Ok?

Is it okay, Brother Chen?

The answer is, of course, no!!!

But Chen Yi ultimately swallowed those two words.

Is it really appropriate to so coldly and seriously refuse a child's first request?

Chen Yi tried to explain how dangerous it was to go up the stairs in a very natural way, and then looked at Shang Yu Shi Jiu's eyes, which suddenly became watery and full of expectation for some reason.

Chen Yi: "..."

Countless words of comfort swirled in his mind and throat, finally settling into one sentence:

"Well... okay, but Shi Jiu, you have to promise me you won't run around everywhere."

Yu Shijiu's eyes instantly crinkled with laughter, she smiled sweetly, revealing dimples, and exclaimed "Wow!" before nodding frantically.

Chen Yi, who had said something stupid: "..."

He felt the three layers of fat on his chin, the five layers of fat on his stomach, and even the fat on his back starting to break out in a cold sweat.

I'm sweating with embarrassment at my own stupidity.

This is the first time.

Inside the small villa outside the game live stream, Anjie had already taken out a box of tangerines and started peeling them with a blank expression, then stuffing them into her mouth with the same blank expression.

On the fourth floor, Yu Shijiu and Chen Yi plan to venture into the lion's den... On the first floor, Xu Han, He Lingling, and the grandmother and granddaughter Mu Tangtang are just going through the motions...

After completing this game's dungeon, even Ange, who thought nothing could stir her emotions anymore, couldn't help but feel a little murderous.

Itchy hands.

Anjie continued to scratch her itchy fingertips expressionlessly, then stuffed a whole tangerine into her mouth.

puff.

The tangerine was bitten and swallowed, leaving no trace.

Anjie continued to stuff things into her mouth.

She is so hungry.

So hungry I wanted to swallow the whole table and chew it up.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell of the small villa, which had not been visited for a long time, was suddenly rang.

Anjie paused in peeling the orange.

She grabbed a tissue from the side, slowly stood up, and went downstairs while wiping her hands.

"—"

Anjie went downstairs, opened the door, and looked up to see an extremely cold and stern face.

She was slightly surprised.

"Captain Lu."

Anjie gave a familiar, polite smile. "Did you need something?"

"..."

Having finally managed to squeeze out some time from a pile of things, Lu Chusheng looked at her and politely handed her the snacks and cake he had bought.

"To visit someone without prior notice."

Lu Chusheng's face, which was as cold as ice, revealed a slight, forced smile.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation."

Anjie: "..."

She didn't accept them, but instead stared down at the "gifts" Lu Chusheng offered, her mind filled with a surging, overwhelming astonishment.

Why would Lu Chusheng suddenly come looking for her?

Until Anjie saw that exquisitely packaged cake box.

cake……

In their small group of only five people, the only one who truly loves eating cake is... Yu Shijiu.
