Infinite: Dawn Game

The players who were just discussing whether Yu Shijiu had gone mad were speechless.

They all stared at the boy on the screen who seemed completely unfazed by flames and giant earthworms, and swallowed their saliva briefly, urgently, and belatedly.

Oh no, it's not that they're not afraid at all; they're practically chasing after the monsters and hacking at them while letting out eerie, strange laughter, making it hard for players to tell which one is the monster...

Although we've seen plenty of this kind of thing—chasing after monsters and hacking at them—it doesn't mean players won't be shocked by this scene once again.

What kind of ability is this? And judging from the current situation, Yu Shijiu's talent skill hasn't been activated yet... What the hell kind of monster is this?!

“No,” one player said with difficulty, “is he really not afraid of getting crushed to death?”

Yes, smash them to death.

The giant earthworm, now split in two by the pain, has no brains to bite Yu Shijiu. The greatest danger Yu Shijiu faces right now is the ancestral hall that is being burned by flames!

Players all have this uneasy feeling about whether or not they should swear...

At this moment, in a confessional room of the Black Robe Church.

Zhou Yuanyang, still seated at the head of the sofa with his beloved centipede, squinted slightly as he looked at the large screen playing a video on the screen opposite his desk and smiled:

"See? This is the quality a Dawn player should have."

The other black-robed players sat upright in their seats.

They watched as Yu Shijiu, wielding an axe and chasing after a strange earthworm on the screen, and their lips twitched simultaneously.

With this level of skill, they might still be lacking... After all, when it comes to them entering game instances, it won't be them chasing monsters, but rather the monsters chasing them...

But no one dared to say it aloud.

They just kept their heads down, not daring to speak, waiting for Zhou Yuanyang to speak.

The centipede that was crawling on Zhou Yuanyang's head crawled down his cheek. Its fine, delicate legs were flexible and slender, but they carried a chilling venom. It slowly fell onto Zhou Yuanyang's shoulder.

Zhou Yuanyang didn't care about any of that. He stared at the bizarre scene of chasing each other on the big screen, his beautiful gray eyes narrowing slightly.

"This earthworm can't touch Yu Shijiu."

Zhou Yuan admired the Dao.

"why?"

As a seasoned veteran player, Zhou Yuanyang's observation of game dungeons was incredibly sharp. He had seen the giant earthworm trying to strangle Yu Shijiu, and naturally, he hadn't missed the moment the giant earthworm suddenly stopped.

It's as if we're being blocked by some unseen force.

It was during this brief pause that the fire axe severed the giant earthworm's ties.

Although Zhou Yuanyang believed that even if the giant didn't freeze in place, Yu Shijiu would cut off its bond... what exactly was this inexplicable power that stopped the strange earthworm's killing actions?

Not a single player spoke at the long table. Most players didn't even dare to wipe their sweat, afraid of being spotted by Zhou Yuanyang.

God knows, they didn't really understand this game instance either...

"Hmm?" Zhou Yuan tapped the table, a half-smile on his face.

"Didn't anyone notice?"

"..."

In the midst of this eerily quiet silence, there was a knock on the door of the confessional.

dong dong dong-

The knocking sound was like heavenly music, relieving the restless black-robed players, who turned to look at the door.

The next second, the door to the confessional was pushed open by the newcomer.

A tall woman dressed in a black nun's habit stood in the doorway. Her skin was extremely pale, and her eyes were covered by a long white cloth, revealing only her straight nose and a pair of bright red lips.

She is a nun.

The nun's lips curled upwards, as if they were overflowing with sweet wine.

“Bishop Zhou.”

The nun's voice was very gentle. She chuckled softly and looked at the large screen not far away through her white-covered eyes.

"I want to ask you for someone."

Zhou Yuan looked up at her, leaned back, and his once beautiful gray eyes seemed somewhat dim:

"Who?"

"he."

The nun smiled and pointed at the boy on the screen who was chasing the earthworm monster, the curve of her lips growing deeper.

Zhou Yuanyang: "..."

He chuckled softly, raised his right hand from the edge of the chair, and the large centipede crawled up his arm, finally stopping at Zhou Yuanyang's fingertip.

“I can’t make that decision for him,” Zhou Yuanyang said. “I’m not even sure I can recruit him into the church.”

The nun seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this. She walked to the desk, approaching the seat of the first player below Zhou Yuanyang, and slightly bent down to hold onto the back of the chair.

"Really? Even Bishop Zhou has things he can't do?"

The player who was being held onto the back of the chair was so frightened that he trembled all over. He straightened up mechanically and tried to walk away, but the nun pressed his shoulders down.

“You sit down,” the nun said, her pale fingers stiff and cold like a bloodless corpse. She pressed down on the player’s shoulder, casually hooked the player’s hair, and turned her head to look at Zhou Yuanyang.

"Five bottles of Memory Labyrinth, in exchange for him to be my drug user for a day, how about it?"

Zhou Yuanyang's pupils contracted for a moment, and the large centipede that had been resting on his fingertip hissed instantly, its head opening its mandibles toward the nun.

"Don't be nervous," the nun said gently, covering her mouth with her hand and smiling. Her eyes, hidden by the white cloth, seemed to curve slightly.

"Whether it succeeds or not, I can give you a bottle of Memory Maze by teaching Master Zhou. How about it, is that a good deal?"

The nun didn't seem to think Zhou Yuanyang would refuse her. She slowly stood up and turned her head to look at the big screen again. Looking at the scarlet eyes that seemed to be burned red by flames, a slightly intoxicated expression appeared on her face.

"He's so cute."

The nun sighed, "It would be even more adorable if I could be my medicine man."

The black-robed church players standing nearby, who thought they were already abnormal enough, were speechless.

They exchanged a furtive glance, then quickly looked away, afraid of being seen by the nun.

Damn, sometimes I really feel like church is not a place for humans...

Zhou Yuanyang seemed to have finally made up his mind. He gripped the large centipede in his hand tightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly as the centipede obediently lowered its head to bite his finger and suck blood.

"I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee success."

Zhou Yuanyang: "As you can see, he can chase after monsters even before using his innate skill, let alone after activating it."

As of now, Zhou Yuanyang has only seen Yu Shijiu possess the talent skill "Slaughter".

“Of course,” the nun said with an understanding smile.

“I understand Bishop Zhou’s concerns, so this deal is valid in the long term.”

As she spoke, her eyes, hidden behind the white cloth, remained fixed on Yu Shijiu on the large screen, and she said:

"But the reason this monster couldn't kill him must be for some other reason, right?"
