Infinite: Dawn Game

The pastor did not immediately respond to the nun's words for the first time.

The nun didn't seem to mind. She stood up, holding her pet, and looked down at Mu Gui, who was still lying on the carpet, and chuckled softly.

"I'm not really going to let you die, what are you afraid of?"

The shepherd, who was curled up on the carpet, looked up and stared intently at the nun who had walked over to sit down on the sofa. He then asked her a question.

"Never have you?"

"..."

The nun chuckled as she placed the sleeping pet on her lap and slowly took out her lipstick to apply.

"of course."

The nun's lips turned even redder, and she pursed them slightly, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"You are the first person I have successfully sown discord with, or rather, recruited. How could I possibly bear to let you die?"

"..."

The pain from the numerous wounds covering Mu Gui's body made him feel somewhat dazed. As he listened to the nun's words, his gaze became increasingly unfocused.

"……it is good."

Shepherd Gui said softly, "I believe you, I believe in you..."

"Not."

The nun gently stroked the sleeping teddy dog ​​on her lap. "You have no choice but to trust me."

"Here."

A glass bottle filled with blue liquid was casually tossed towards the pastoral area by a nun.

Mu Gui's eyes widened, and despite the pain, he sat up quickly, caught the glass bottle, and eagerly twisted off the stopper, tilting his head back.

The moment the blue liquid flowed into his throat, Mu Gui's wounds began to heal at a visible speed.

"It works well."

The nun watched the wound heal, sighed, and stood up.

"Come catch up once you're healed."

Sister: "It's breakfast time. We should go down and eat now."

"Remember to change your clothes."

The nun frowned: "I don't want the players who follow me to look too dirty."

"……Yes."

Mu Gui stood up awkwardly and dragged his still tired and weak body toward the bathroom.

The nun was still holding the sleeping teddy bear in her arms, her eyes lowered, her gaze fixed on the teddy bear in her arms.

This is a yellow curly-haired Teddy dog ​​with big, black, darting eyes when it's open. It's both cute and infuriating.

Last night, it just lay by the bedside and kept the nun company as she slept peacefully all night.

No strange sounds were made.

"good."

The nun gently stroked the teddy dog's head, her voice very soft:

"As long as you behave well, I will not throw away a dog that is very obedient to its owner."

...But the premise is that you absolutely, positively, must listen to me.

Only the most obedient "dogs" can survive on my charity.

restaurant.

After finishing their meal, Yu Shijiu and the others left the restaurant, having also packed up leftover steamed buns for everyone.

Xu Han's stomach was very bloated. He rubbed his stomach uncomfortably, burped, and his face turned ugly.

"...Oh my god, my burp tastes like soy milk."

The others nearby: "..."

Yu Shijiu didn't care, and Chen Yi was busy thinking about other things and didn't respond.

He Lingling retorted as usual, "Stay away from us, you stink."

Xu Han: "?"

He was furious. "What do you mean, 'stinky'? ​​Who among us hasn't drunk soy milk and eaten steamed buns? You ate and drank too! You, you don't stink—"

"Stop."

He Lingling said coldly, "I didn't burp."

Xu Han: "..."

Does not burp mean you don't smell bad?

Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly heard a hiccup.

"belch!"

He Lingling and Xu Han subconsciously looked in the direction of the hiccup and saw Feifei roll her eyes and let out a loud hiccup from her throat.

Two people: "..."

Feifei glanced at them disdainfully and continued to follow Yu Shijiu forward.

"Let's all go back and catch up on our sleep."

As Chen Yi pressed the elevator button, he finally managed to sort out a little of the jumbled mess of plot lines in his mind.

"We have to keep running away at night, so we can't afford to be in a bad mental state."

"...Can't we hide on the first floor tonight?"

Xu Han scratched his head. "The first floor is quite safe. As long as we hide well, we'll be fine."

"No."

He Lingling, who was standing to the side, shook her head. "The first floor is unlikely to be safe tonight."

Xu Han: "?"

"why?"

They were perfectly safe last night—

"Because all pets need to stay with people."

Yu Shijiu was so sleepy that he yawned repeatedly and leaned lazily against the elevator wall, saying:

"You were safe last night because your pets weren't with you, which is why the first floor was safe."

Xu Han was stunned.

He was still a little dazed and didn't quite understand what Yu Shijiu meant by those words.

What does it mean to be safe when pets are not around?

"Shi Jiu is right."

Chen Yi sighed, "I had the same thought. Based on your experience last night, we can probably conclude that you are safe when your pet is not around."

Before the chase began last night, almost all the players were hiding motionless in their rooms. But then, the game required them to bring their pets with them... Why was that?

They were too busy escaping last night to notice, but now it seems that pets have another function besides "protecting their owners" and "assimil to their owners".

--position.

All players with pets were targeted by the hotel staff who appeared eerie in the dead of night.

How can players escape from locked positions?

Aside from killing the staff, all they could do was keep using props to buy time, which is probably why they couldn't get to the first floor from the elevator last night.

Because there were no players with "pets" on the first floor.

"...That's it."

Xu Han suddenly realized and subconsciously looked at He Lingling, "It seems that Mu Tangtang and her grandma really didn't bring their pets last night."

He Lingling was blind at the time, so she could only nod hesitantly:

"...If you say so, then it is."

Chen Yi: "?"

"Wait," he turned to look at Xu Han, "Mustard?"

Chen Yi frowned. "Was Mu Tangtang with you guys last night?"

"correct."

Xu Han scratched his head. "Didn't I just say that?"

"No."

Yu Shijiu interjected, smiling as he looked at the red numbers flashing above the elevator buttons:

"But Brother Chen, I actually saw Mu Tangtang and the others when I came down."

Chen Yi: "..."

He took a deep breath and subconsciously looked at He Lingling.

Noticing his gaze, He Lingling shook her head innocently, "I don't know, I couldn't see last night, I don't know if Mu Tangtang and the others brought their pets."

"Definitely not."

Xu Han stated confidently, "Mu Tangtang only brought a tattered thermos, and her grandmother only carried some human severed limbs; they really didn't bring any pets—"

"What did you say?!"

This is He Lingling.

"What did you say?!"

This is Chen Yi.
