Infinite: Dawn Game

The front desk staff clearly remembered that the female guest in front of them was a perfectly healthy person when they checked her in.

How could he suddenly become blind?

Xu Han didn't hear He Lingling's conversation with the receptionist behind him at all. He continued running forward frantically until he left the receptionist far behind without even noticing.

"..."

Finally, He Lingling noticed that there was no movement behind her and tugged at the back of his clothes.

"Has she given up on pursuing me?"

He Lingling asked in a low voice.

Xu Han: "How is that possible! She was just chasing me—"

He was pulled to a stop and turned around to look—only to find that there was nothing behind him.

The receptionist who had both arms (but still had legs) cut off, but whose face was half rotting, was gone.

Xu Han: "..."

"You're really not going to pursue it anymore?"

He stopped in place, panting heavily, and carefully put He Lingling down from his shoulder.

He Lingling, who finally managed to stand still, uttered: "...Ugh."

She leaned over, supporting Xu Han's shoulder, and began to gag, tears streaming down her face.

"Sorry," Xu Han realized that his action of carrying someone was not good, and scratched his head awkwardly, "I forgot for a moment."

“…It’s alright,” He Lingling straightened up and wiped the water from her face. “Did you see the receptionist’s current state?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Han exclaimed "Holy crap!" several times and quickly described the front desk staff's condition, patting his chest in lingering fear as he spoke.

"...The maggots on her face, I literally saw them fall off in a cascade when she smiled! Fall off, you know? It was terrifying, oh no, it was disgusting, really! So disgusting! I don't even want to watch it a second time..."

He Lingling was somewhat confused. In her mind, she constructed the current state of the front desk staff, and a bizarre image of a half-rotten, armless woman appeared before her eyes.

Why do all the staff members not have arms?

He Lingling frowned as she thought of the staff member who delivered the cake and late-night snack.

That staff member also had his arm severed, and even his leg was cut off—

He Lingling looked up sharply, listened carefully to the sounds behind her, and pulled Xu Han back:

"Stop talking, something's coming from behind, let's go."

Xu Han immediately stopped making a sound, grabbed He Lingling, and ran in another direction.

Xu Han remembered this direction.

It's the road leading to the restaurant.

The thought that the bowl of braised pork was made from human flesh made Xu Han secretly groaned.

There can't be anyone still in the restaurant this late, can there? He can understand if there are people at the front desk, but he really can't understand the restaurant!

What kind of restaurant stays open so late at night instead of sleeping?!

------------

Fourth floor.

At the nun's prompting, Mu Gui pushed open the door and went out.

As soon as the door opened, the staff members who had been searching for players all around the fourth floor suddenly turned their missing limbs and stared at Mu Gui, who was standing at the door, with their cold, scarlet eyes.

Mu Gui was so frightened that his legs went weak. He looked up at the staff who were crawling toward him with a stiff, fearful gaze.

Those red intestines, which were dangling around and dripping what looked like intestinal fluid or blood, wrapped around one of the workers whose head had been split open and sucked upwards with force.

Pastoral Rules: "..."

His eyes widened in horror, and his first instinct was to return to the room—

"Pastoral rules".

A nun's lazy yawn came from behind, "Don't disappoint me."

"..." Mu Gui dared not utter another sound. He lowered his head and walked out of the room step by step amidst the nun's laughter as she teased the teddy dog.

At the same time, the moment the nun left the room, a small, grayish bead appeared in the nun's hand.

She glanced casually at the empty doorway and tossed the small beads in her hand towards the door.

Dang Dang Dang——

The little bead landed and bounced directly to the door. With a loud, cracking sound, the little bead shattered into pieces outside the door.

A gray barrier then appeared, completely obscuring the door.

“…Good little puppy,” the nun said, stroking the head of the little teddy bear in her arms, a smile playing on her lips.

"Only then will there be delicious food."

In the corridor, Mu Gui trembled as he raised his head, looking at the grotesque, human-pig-like creatures writhing frantically toward him, before closing his eyes in terror.

----------

The second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, Yu Shijiu resumed his frenzied slaughter—while Chen Yi behind him carefully examined the eerie faces of each staff member.

Yes, he felt something was wrong starting from the later part of the third floor.

Whether it's the fourth floor or the third floor, these monsters chasing the players all look too familiar.

It was as if they had seen them somewhere not long ago...

This was something Yu Shijiu said to Chen Yi while holding a strange human head and turning around with a grin.

Yu Shijiu said at the time:

"Brother Chen, don't you find it strange? His face is exactly the same as that guy I killed on the floor above, oh no, that monster?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, but after careful examination, he found that it was indeed the same face.

If it's just one face, it could be considered a coincidence, but what if it's three, four, five, six... or even more identical faces?

When Chen Yi saw the faces on the third floor that all looked almost identical, his breath caught in his throat.

Chen Yi initially thought that the monsters on the fourth floor had spread to the third floor... but unfortunately, that wasn't the case at all.

Yu Shijiu is right.

The monsters on each floor are replicated to the same scale.

Whether it's the form, the attack method... or even the time it takes to run, the same applies to those monstrous corpses that are gradually being devoured and reborn.

This is not a good thing.

If the monsters on each floor are replicated proportionally, they won't get tired, won't die, and won't feel pain... In addition, the monsters on each floor will return to their undamaged state... If such a terrifying constitution increases day by day over time... By the last day, players might not even survive an hour.

The effect of escaping three times is negligible.

Chen Yi felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

If that's really what he thinks, then this game instance is no longer a simple chase-type instance.

Considering what Dawn Games mentioned about dungeon upgrades... the boss behind the Fuling Hotel must really hate and despise these players.

While previous hide-and-seek game instances at least gave players a chance to breathe, "Fulling Hotel" doesn't want to leave any of them any way out.

Unless you keep using props to smash the road.

However, this kind of road-smashing behavior is something that no ordinary player can replicate, except for those top players from large guilds who have no shortage of items and points.

The bizarre boss behind the Fuling Hotel has gone mad.

Chen Yi drew this conclusion from these subtle clues.
