Infinite: Dawn Game

"To be precise, even Liu Laosan wasn't sure if he could leave Changsheng Village."

Lin Feng said.

"Isn't this normal?"

Yu Shijiu thought it was something else, and upon hearing this, he glanced at Liu Laosan, who was already delirious on the table, and said with a smile:

"I thought you already knew about this."

Lin Feng asked in a daze, "What do you mean?"

Yu Shijiu slowly pulled up his trouser leg, gesturing for Lin Feng to come and take a look:

“You see, even though I didn’t eat the problematic food that Yang Wan made for me, I’m still getting older.”

Under the sunlight, the boy's calves were beginning to show the strange changes of human skin aging. In addition to the dense dry skin, a layer of somewhat familiar mucus was even slowly appearing on his slightly dry skin.

Lin Feng's pupils contracted, and she subconsciously bent down and reached out to touch Yu Shijiu's calf. The slightly sticky feel made her tremble involuntarily.

"What's this?"

Yu Shijiu smiled and pulled down his trouser leg. He thought for a moment and said, "It should be the slime from those earthworms, right?"

Lin Feng stared at him in shock.

Earthworm mucus?

This shows what?

This means that players may still age regardless of whether they eat the food prepared by the strange old men.

This is not just a matter of food, lodging, and transportation; the biggest problem is actually because of the place they live in, Changsheng Village.

People who come to this place will inevitably be gradually assimilated.

Although Yu Shijiu didn't seem to care much, how could he, as a human being, not care at all?

Lin Feng instantly remembered An Li's ridiculously wrinkled skin and realized something.

"Damn it."

Lin Feng cursed under his breath, and his mind, which had been somewhat hazy since the beginning of the game instance, finally began to slowly clear.

"We've misunderstood."

Yu Shijiu seemed a little confused: "Huh? What did we misunderstand?"

The Longevity Village is indeed drawing on their life force.

There is no doubt about this.

Lin Feng stood up abruptly, biting her lower lip hard. The gushing blood cleared her mind, which had been clouded by the alcohol.

"I need to go to the village guesthouse first."

Lin Feng spoke quickly: "I need to verify something."

If, if it really is as she thinks, then it's very likely that the conditions for their passage will become clear...

Yu Shijiu did not refute. He wished the game could be even more chaotic, preferably like the previous instance, "Hundred Ghosts Night Parade".

That way it's more satisfying to chop.

"Okay."

Yu Shijiu smiled and nodded: "Let's go together."

The boy's smile was sweet: "Sister."

Lin Feng: "..."

She couldn't help but shiver; she felt a chill run down her spine when Yu Shijiu called her "sister."

Changsheng Village wasn't very big. Because Lin Feng and Yu Shijiu quickened their pace, they arrived at the village's guesthouse in less than ten minutes.

Before the two could even get close, a strong fishy smell wafted over on the wind.

Yu Shijiu sniffed and came to a conclusion:

"Earthworms used to surround this place."

Besides the pungent smell of human blood, the wind carried an even stronger earthy odor from the slime on earthworms, as if this "guesthouse" had been surrounded by thousands of earthworms not long ago, making people feel physically nauseous.

Yu Shijiu was no exception.

Although he wasn't afraid of earthworms, his sense of smell and taste were still within the normal range.

—Of course, this excludes those you kill yourself.

Lin Feng's expression grew even more serious.

Although she had already guessed that the players staying in the guesthouse were likely... she still didn't want to think too badly about the situation.

What if those players are still alive?

After all, there are still more than ten hours until the next day arrives.

"Help, help..."

A short cry for help rang out not far away, and Fatty was the first to move.

It meowed and ran in front of the two of them, taking a step ahead of Lin Feng and reaching into the bushes.

Then a series of slightly hurried meows came from Fatty's mouth.

Lin Feng and Yu Shijiu, who were following closely behind, glanced at it. The former keenly sensed something, while the latter smiled and comforted it:

"It's nothing, at most it'll just be someone dying."

Everyone has to die.

Lin Feng: "..."

Fatty: "..."

When Lin Feng stepped forward, she realized why Fei Fei had suddenly let out such a rapid, yet unmistakably frightened, meow.

In the grass not far away, a human head soaked in blood and mucus appeared. The once regular features were now twisted into an incomprehensible expression of fear.

He whispered for help, and when he saw Lin Feng and Yu Shijiu appear behind Feifei, his scarlet eyes suddenly burst forth with an intense and astonishing light.

"There are still people alive... That's wonderful, that's wonderful..."

The male player opened his mouth wide in surprise, blood and slime flowing from the corners of his eyes and mouth, wetting the ground that buried him, but he remained oblivious and continued shouting loudly:

"Quick! Help me! Help me!"

Just as Lin Feng was about to step forward, Yu Shijiu suddenly grabbed her arm.

"Sister," Yu Shijiu said gently, "why don't you want to take another look?"

"..." Lin Feng's foot, which she had just lifted, suddenly stopped in mid-air. She actually thought about it for a while, and then stopped moving.

Seeing that the two didn't move, the male player started yelling anxiously. If he could crawl out of the bushes now, Lin Feng had no doubt that the other party would probably take out a knife and attack them.

"Damn it! Come save me! Can't you see I'm being buried alive?"

"We're all players of Dawn Games! Why don't we help each other? Why don't we help each other!"

"..."

"Please, please help me! I really don't want to die! Please, please save me..."

"..."

The male player's voice grew softer and softer until it was nothing but a tearful plea, swaying along with the weeds blown by the wind, a scene of desolation and misery.

Lin Feng pursed her lips. She subconsciously wanted to take a step forward, but Yu Shijiu stopped her in place by not letting go of her hand.

"Sister, what did you come to see?"

Yu Shijiu suddenly asked.

Lin Feng subconsciously explained, "I came to check if any of the players in these guesthouses had been sacrificed by the village elders—"

She stopped abruptly, her momentary softening vanishing instantly at Yu Shijiu's question.

Yu Shijiu's pupils are very light, especially in sunlight, they look like two beautiful amber-colored glass marbles illuminated by the light.

But those eyes became somewhat eerie when they looked at the male player in the bushes.

Like this moment.

"Is that so?"

Yu Shijiu released his grip on Lin Feng's arm and looked around.

"Then sister, please look around carefully. Are they really still alive?"
