Infinite: Dawn Game

The culprit had already slipped into the room behind the nurses' station where they were supposed to rest.

It wasn't much different from the decorations in the patients' wards, well, it just looked more rudimentary.

Yu Shijiu had less than half an hour to find clues. He quickly searched everything outside, and finally his eyes fell on the wardrobe and the bedside table.

Although I don't understand why, it seems that the monsters in the game all love to write diaries or daily logs?

However, it's understandable. Just like those patients in mental hospitals who were originally normal people but have been injected with drugs for many years, causing them to become delirious, they do write things to keep themselves conscious.

With this thought in mind, Yu Shijiu walked to the bedside table, opened the cabinet door, and sure enough, found a thick blue notebook deep in the last shelf.

Yes, that's it.

But Yu Shijiu was disappointed after opening it.

Unlike what I imagined a diary to be, this was a bill.

One book records the medical bills for Xuexue's treatment of heart disease from childhood to adulthood.

However, this bill completely confirms that Xuexue is Xue Yan's daughter.

After all, apart from having a very deep blood relationship, who would meticulously record a little girl's medical history from childhood to adulthood, and even carefully write down one precaution after another?

Except mother.

Not to mention that Xuexue's real name is Xue Xue.

The homonym for "Xue Xue".

Sure enough, after Yu Shijiu opened the notebook covered with receipts and even medical records, Xiao Li's long-silent voice rang in his ears:

Congratulations on completing the side quest! 500 points have been credited to your account.

Xiao Li's voice held a human-like sigh of relief: "Oh dear, only two minutes left! I was so scared!"

Yu Shijiu put down the notebook in his hand and placed it deep inside the cabinet. He then saw many things that little girls liked to use.

Hair clips covered with snowflakes of various colors, sparkling crystal balls, and some very cute and translucent snowflake pendants.

Considering Xuexue's name, Yu Shijiu felt that Xue Yan seemed to "love" her daughter Xuexue quite a bit.

So why does she let Xuexue call her "Nurse Auntie"?

Yu Shijiu didn't want to delve into these matters. He gleaned some inconsistencies from Xiao Li's feigned "worries":

"So what will happen if I don't finish?"

Xiao Li paused for a few seconds, then giggled: "Of course I have to be punished!"

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He was so angry he laughed. As he straightened up and walked towards the wardrobe, he sneered:

Can I file a complaint if a proprietary system exploits language vulnerabilities?

Xiao Li: 【…No, you can't, I'm telling you, players can't…】

Yu Shijiu ignored Xiao Li's constant nagging and opened the wardrobe door. He saw many little girls' dresses and outfits, each one very pretty, with lace and bows that young girls like.

He glanced at it briefly and closed the wardrobe door.

Just as Yu Shijiu was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the refrigerator in the corner of his eye.

refrigerator?

Is the head nurse in a nursing home allowed to have her own refrigerator in her room?

Excluding the possibility that the hospital will provide them, the only possibility is that you have to buy them yourself.

But in a place like a sanatorium, there are special canteens for meals, and probably shops for cold drinks... so putting a refrigerator in the room seems a bit redundant.

Thinking of this, Yu Shijiu walked to the refrigerator.

As soon as you get close, a strong, frozen fishy smell instantly fills your mouth and nose. Unlike the faint fishy smell in the air at first, the fishy smell becomes stronger the closer you get.

Yu Shijiu narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to open the refrigerator.

The refrigerator door opened, revealing several densely packed, frost-covered chunks of meat.

Those were the internal organs of people who had been frozen white.

Whether it's human brains, pancreas, or even more so, hearts that are still beating even when frozen.

An entire refrigerator full of human internal organs.

Yu Shijiu's gaze was drawn to the sticky note behind the refrigerator door.

The sticky notes, frozen stiff, were written in neat yet slightly crooked handwriting.

"Xuexue's Snack Cabinet (?????)"

The emoticons in the background look cute, but together with the densely packed human figures inside the refrigerator, they exude a chilling aura that makes you feel cold from the bottom of your heart.

This stark contrast in the scene, even through a screen, sent chills down the spines of many players.

Such “motherly love” and such deep affection for one’s child is truly both shocking and terrifying.

Yu Shijiu remembered the "snacks" Xuexue had given him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

It seems that Xuexue really did give herself what she thought was good.

Yu Shijiu closed the refrigerator door, walked to the door, and looked up at the wall clock.

The time above has already reached 1:23.

He had been in the room for almost forty minutes.

Xue Yan will probably be back soon.

Yu Shijiu didn't want to confront Xue Yan so soon, so after leaving the nurses' station, she quickly walked back to the ward. On the way, she encountered Xu Han, who was squatting on the ground, putting a plastic bag over the severed arm, and He Lingling, who was holding a mop and preparing to mop the floor.

"It's troublesome."

Yu Shijiu was in a good mood after reaping a lot of rewards, and thanked two players who were cleaning up as he passed by.

Xu Han and He Lingling: "..."

Xu Han felt fortunate that An Jie hadn't actually dragged anyone into the mess, otherwise he probably would have been furious.

He Lingling rolled her eyes, but still reminded him as Yu Shijiu fast-forwarded past:

"Our main quest can be completed after a three-day trial period. What about you?"

Yu Shijiu paused, turning back to look at He Lingling, seemingly somewhat shocked:

"Three days, a trial period?"

Xu Han chimed in, "Yeah, we're all interns. I guess all we have to do is make rounds and clean the rooms, and maybe avoid getting bitten by those weird patients in the wards."

After all, this dungeon is actually quite simple.

It's perfect for new players like Xu Han who haven't played the game much yet and aren't very skilled, just like He Lingling had the same idea when she brought Yu Shijiu into the game.

But as things stand, Yu Shijiu's mission is completely different from theirs.

Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, He Lingling actually had a rough guess.

This instance might be a game unlocked by Yu Shijiu's talent skill.

She was like that back then too.

However, this limits the amount of help she can offer.

The way to complete the game is completely different. Even though the game may not be difficult, there is still a certain risk of death for the player.

He Lingling can only help a little at most, but she would never risk her own safety to help a player she finds agreeable.

For example, right now, if Yu Shijiu's innate skills really do appear in this game...

He Lingling's eyes darkened for a moment, her already deep gaze now as cold and still as a stagnant pool.

"You will have two lives at the end of this instance."
