Infinite: Dawn Game

Yu Shijiu didn't notice at first.

"...How about we go somewhere else?"

Chen Yi noticed, and without making a sound, he blocked Yu Shijiu's path, then pulled out another lollipop from his pocket as if coaxing a child.

This time it's blueberry flavored.

"Have a piece of candy to tide you over."

Chen Yi's bulky body completely blocked Yu Shijiu's view, and also concealed the male player whose eyes were bleeding.

"Let's go first—"

Why didn't you save us!

Chen Yi spoke too late.

The male player, covered in dirt and with his eyes slightly bulging, leaned against the wall to stand up and roared in a hoarse voice, questioning the player.

"You could have helped them! So many people could have been saved last night! Why didn't you do anything? Why did you hide?!"

"?"

Chen Yi: "..."

He couldn't help but clench his fists.

No wonder Anjie has been reluctant to enter game instances this year; she's afraid of encountering such idiots again and again.

Yu Shijiu stopped in a daze, peeked out from beside Chen Yi at the male player, and pointed to himself uncertainly.

"You're here?" Yu Shijiu asked in disbelief, "Are you talking about me?"

"Correct!"

The male player's voice was already hoarse and very unpleasant. He coughed and looked at the bewildered boy not far away with a gaze that seemed to be filled with hatred.

"You're so strong! Why did you hide all night? You could have saved everyone!"

"..." Yu Shijiu's eyelids twitched, and he chuckled, finding it somewhat amusing.

The laughter clearly enraged the male player even more. His head was throbbing, the bruises on his neck were throbbing, and the smell of incontinence in his nose made him completely lose his reason.

Pain, shame, anger, hatred...

A flood of emotions surged through the male player's mind, and he roared:

"What are you laughing at! What are you laughing at all day long? You laugh when you're killing people! You laugh when you see me being choked! Do you know that when you laugh you look like a complete madman!"

"Shut up!"

Chen Yi suddenly turned around, his gentle, plump face now filled with sinister anger:

"Do you want to die?!"

Chen Yi was so angry he was about to go crazy. He admitted that he was dumbfounded by all the stupid things the male player in front of him did.

He was choked by a monster because he was less skilled and weaker! Yet he took his anger out on innocent people because he almost died?! People like that would be better off dying and being reincarnated.

"Brother Chen."

Yu Shijiu grabbed Chen Yi's arm and shook her head slightly, "It's okay."

The fat guy next to him was already hissing angrily, his emerald green eyes fixed on the male player not far away, his body slightly lowered.

This is a posture indicating an imminent hunt.

Yu Shijiu grabbed Chen Yi and squatted down. He stroked the fat cat's tail, which was sticking up in anger. The soft fur traveled through his palm and into his brain, but the smile on Yu Shijiu's face remained unchanged.

What you said is very interesting.

Yu Shijiu looked up at the male player who was trembling and leaning against the wall not far away, her tone gentle and calm.

"Why should I save you? Who are you? Will saving you give me more points? Or will I get all your items and points if I save you?"

The male player stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and blood was already oozing from the corners of his ruptured eyes.

"That's a human life! Human life is the most important thing—"

"stop."

Yu Shijiu raised his hand and made a stop gesture.

He was squatting, yet he looked up at the male player with an undeniable, condescending, and mocking air.

"Before saying such things, think about what kind of person you are."

"Understand?"

Compared to the male player who was emotionally charged and spoke recklessly, the other players didn't dare to say a word.

The male player was the one closest to death among them, so his breakdown is understandable. But this kind of behavior of pushing "moral blackmail" onto others is very unpleasant.

Yu Shijiu's smile grew brighter and brighter.

At that moment, Chen Yi blocked Yu Shijiu's path. He looked at the axe that was gradually appearing in Yu Shijiu's hand with some concern and pursed his lips.

Strictly speaking, Chen Yi was not a pushover.

In other game instances, if Yu Shijiu wanted to take action, he definitely wouldn't stop her... but in the Fuling Hotel instance, there's also a nun.

Unlike the players who were fleeing in the chase, the nun hadn't appeared even once since last night.

This indicates that the nun used a super-advanced tool, causing the monsters to completely ignore her presence.

Just this one use alone, roughly estimating the price, would amount to nearly five thousand points.

This is equivalent to the points an average player would earn by fighting tooth and nail in a game instance.

Even more.

In this situation, it would be better if Yu Shijiu didn't make a move. However, once he did, there was an astonishing 99% chance that the nun would use points or items to lure other players into attacking Yu Shijiu.

Besieged by wolves in front and tigers behind...

"Shi Jiu..."

Chen Yi opened his mouth, and then everything went blurry before his eyes.

Something heavy and sharp suddenly flew out from beside his ear.

Accompanied by screams and the sound of heavy objects being embedded in the floor tiles behind him, Chen Yi shut up.

He felt that his current attempt to stop it was incredibly foolish.

……never mind.

Even if things don't go well, I can still clean up the mess myself.

Chen Yi sighed, looked down at Yu Shijiu who was looking up at him with bright almond-shaped eyes, and reached out to pull her up.

—Although Yu Shijiu doesn't need it.

"Thanks, Brother Chen!"

Yu Shijiu gave a very "gentle" thank you, and then walked briskly towards the players not far away.

Fatty swaggered behind him.

Chen Yi's chest pocket moved, and two furry heads popped out, meowing several times.

“…Be good,” Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, “Don’t shout.”

"Meow."

Yu Shijiu walked up to the male player who was slumped on the ground and had lost control of his bladder again.

He first wrinkled his nose in disgust, then bent down and forcefully pulled up the axe stuck next to the male player's head.

The cracked floor tiles made a soft, clattering sound.

Yu Shijiu took out a tissue and carefully wiped the congealed blood off the axe, then blew off the dust.

"Sorry, I don't like being morally blackmailed."

The boy tilted his head, his slightly curved almond-shaped eyes filled with a deep, cold, and twisted look. "I especially dislike it when people say I'm crazy."

"If there is a next time."

“The cracks aren’t in the floor tiles,” Yu Shijiu smiled, her tone cheerful as if she were talking about what delicious food she was having for dinner.

"Your head will be the one that cracks."

The male player was trembling with fear. He stared at Yu Shijiu, who was turning and leaving with the axe, but he couldn't say a word.
