Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 923 Follow

This sentence silenced the group for a moment.

They all recalled the suffocating loop in the instance, the despair of countless "Thumbelinas," and the grand "liberation" that Fang Youhua and the Thumbelinas accomplished together.

But beneath the veil of joy in this victory lies a heavy burden of blood and tears shed by countless "Thumbelinas".

"...By the way, where is Yang Hua?"

Chen Yi thought of Yang Hua, who had been standing next to them after they came out of the dungeon, and subconsciously turned around to look at him.

Sure enough, Yang Hua followed far behind the group, head down, his steps somewhat slow, as if he hadn't fully recovered from the shock of the dungeon and Fang Youhua's "death".

When Anjie saw her, she stopped and turned to look at her, her tone calm but leaving no room for refusal:

"Yang Hua, what are you doing following us?"

The group of people instinctively turned around at the same time to look at Yang Hua, who was following behind them.

"..."

Yang Hua looked up when she heard this, her eyes still a little red.

She glanced at An Jie, then at Yu Shijiu's mutated arm, and at He Lingling's pale face. Her lips moved, but in the end she just shook her head silently, quickened her pace, and walked past the group.

Yang Hua didn't know why she was following them. She just subconsciously followed them out of the live broadcast square, feeling a heavy and uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

"Eye of All Things" was almost completely wiped out in this guild competition, with only she remaining alive. The others were probably taken back to the guild to suppress their pain and mental pollution...

As Yang Hua pondered, he thought of Fang Youhua, who had "died" at the last moment.

Fang Youhua's "death" was so tragic, and the mental pollution she suffered was probably the most severe among all the victims.

"..." Yang Hua walked several steps alone, deciding to go to the guild's base to find Fang Youhua.

Regardless of the circumstances... Fang Youhua had indeed helped her many times, so she felt obligated to visit her.

Only after Yang Hua's figure completely disappeared around the street corner did Yu Shijiu and the others resume their conversation.

"What was she doing following us just now?"

Xu Han asked with some curiosity, "You wouldn't be thinking of switching jobs now that we've won, would you?"

An Jie, He Lingling, and Chen Yi: "..."

Yu Shijiu thought Xu Han's words made a lot of sense and nodded seriously: "I think what you said is very likely, Brother Han."

The other three: "..."

"Eye of All Things" is a large guild with a well-established system and reasonable rewards. Aren't you two being a little too biased towards our small team?

Just as the group was about to leave the street occupied by the live broadcast square, a yellow figure suddenly darted out from around the corner like lightning, carrying an undeniable "momentum," and rushed straight towards Yu Shijiu!

“Meow——!!!”

The large, plump orange cat pounced precisely on Yu Shijiu's calves, its two front paws tightly gripping them, its fluffy head rubbing against them, purring loudly, its green eyes filled with the excitement of reunion and... a hint of barely perceptible grievance.

—That's too much, meow! You didn't even take me with you into the dungeon, meow!!!

Feifei was very unhappy and grabbed Yu Shijiu's leg, scratching it angrily.

Yu Shijiu stumbled from the impact, looked down and saw it was Feifei, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Fatty!"

Yu Shijiu quickly bent down and vigorously rubbed the orange cat's fluffy head with his normal right hand. Then, as if he had thought of something, he grinned and stretched out his mutated left hand, carefully touching the fat back fur.

The touch of the beast's claw was clearly different from the warmth of human fingers. The moment Fatty was touched, its ears twitched and stood up instantly. It turned its head in confusion—its eerie green pupils instantly caught sight of the furry "monster's claw."

Fatty: "Meow?"

—What the heck, meow?

Yu Shijiu suppressed a laugh and scratched his chubby back fur with his mutated hand.

The next second, unaware of any danger, Fatty pressed itself against Yu Shijiu, its pink and soft nose sniffing carefully. Then... it sneezed a little, and then, under everyone's gaze, it stuck out its tongue and tentatively licked the back of Yu Shijiu's paw.

"Wow! It's not scared at all?"

Xu Han asked in surprise.

"It seems that Feifei still recognizes you as a person, Shi Jiu, not your hand," Chen Yi said with a smile.

Anjie watched this scene, and her cold, hard lips softened slightly.

He Lingling said softly, "Animals are much more perceptive than humans. Even if their owner's appearance changes, they can sense that their owner's inner self hasn't changed at all."

Yu Shijiu was quite satisfied with Feifei's actions.

He let Fatty lick his mutated paws, and his mutated arms seemed to relax a little because of the familiar, warm licks.

It seems Fatty still prefers him. Look, as soon as he left the dungeon, Fatty ran over to find him...

Yu Shijiu was overjoyed. As he looked up and talked with An Jie and the others, his gaze inadvertently swept over the end of the road leading to the live broadcast square not far away.

There seemed to be a black figure flashing by; the figure looked somewhat familiar.

Yu Shijiu was taken aback.

Is that Lu Chusheng? He's here, but why didn't he show up? Does he not want to see me?

The thought lingered in Yu Shijiu's mind for a moment, but was quickly interrupted by the chubby, sticky rubbing against him.

Yu Shijiu smiled, picked up the heavy Fatty with one hand (right hand), and held it tightly in his arm. This position made Fatty twist uncomfortably for a moment, but it quickly gave in, resting its fluffy cat head on Yu Shijiu's shoulder, and its thick yellow tail wrapped around his arm contentedly.

"Let's go, Fatty, let's go back and rest together."

Yu Shijiu said with a smile.

"Meow!"

Fatty lazily licked Yu Shijiu's messy black hair.

Then... all the players on the street watched as Yu Shijiu, carrying a large orange cat that looked even bigger than himself, dragged an eye-catching mutated arm as he continued walking forward, his posture natural yet... conspicuous.

Anjie and the other three walked behind Yu Shijiu. Apart from Xu Han making a couple of comments about his chubby and robust physique, the other three didn't think it was a big deal.

Lu Chusheng's "pet cat" has grown up quite a bit over the years, and cats are "liquid animals"—they can become super long and soft creatures with a single pull... Thinking about it that way, it's not so strange.

"Let's go back and see how many points we won, whether it's enough to buy Fatty a mountain of dried fish."

Chen Yi said this with a smile.

"Meow!"

The chubby creature being held in front of them pricked up its ears in agreement.

Xu Han immediately leaned over and whispered, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, could you give me some points to buy things too..."

"Don't even think about it."

Anjie interrupted him, "How the points are used needs to be allocated according to the team's development plan, especially after this."
