Infinite: Dawn Game

He swallowed the foam.

The cool, minty foam mixed with water went down his throat, making Yu Shijiu cough again.

"Cough cough cough-"

Yu Shijiu suppressed a cough as she quickly walked to the bedside table.

Lu Chusheng, who had just jumped onto the bed: "..."

He took a step forward, suppressing his shame, and let out a "meow".

"Hey Fatty, your voice sounds weird?"

Yu Shijiu stared at the little girl in the vase on the bedside table, her ears twitching after hearing the cry of "Feifei".

"Could it be a cold? Why does it sound a little hoarse?"

Lu Chusheng, the pirated "Fat Fatty," lowered his head, not daring to speak at all.

Aren't all cats' voices exactly the same? How could Yu Shijiu tell the difference?

Lu Chusheng was so guilty that he didn't dare to utter another sound.

Yu Shijiu didn't notice this. He went straight to the bedside table, staring intently at the little girl in the vase above, her head turned away and her face pale. He finally connected the things that had bothered him these past two days.

Such a large vase, and a picture frame almost the same size as the vase on the wall at the foot of the bed...

The "vase-shaped little girl" type of eerie creature likely exists in many game instances and is quite common... it's just that Yu Shijiu didn't notice this at the time.

Thinking about it now, even ordinary people in the fantasy world could have their limbs cut off and be skinned and sold as "pets"... including quite a few children and babies. Since Fuling Hotel is involved in this kind of industry chain, they would definitely make ornamental "items" like the vase girl as well.

In the end, you'll make money anyway.

The little vase girl was clearly not very intelligent; she could only turn her head when she heard a sound. Her long, thick, black hair fell down her cheeks, like a black snake wriggling in the dark.

"Hehehe..." The little girl in the vase looked at Yu Shijiu, who was getting closer and closer to her, and her pale face twisted even more strangely.

"Hurry...hurry...hurry..."

The little girl in the vase looked quite young, probably only seven or eight years old. Her features were delicate and pale, but her lips were an eerie red, as if she had eaten something raw.

Yu Shijiu interrupted his overly vivid imagination, walked forward with a cheerful smile, and swiftly and accurately shoved the toothbrush into the mouth of the little vase amidst the vase girl's excited laughter.

The little girl in the vase, who had just grinned to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth, was like: "?"

Lu Chusheng, who had raised his paw beside him: "..."

He silently withdrew his claws.

"Let's brush our teeth."

Yu Shijiu quickly stepped back, dodging the little girl's angry, wildly wriggling hair, and walked to the bedside to pick up Feifei.

Yes, I picked up half of it.

"I haven't even finished brushing my teeth yet, and I've already swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste foam! Ugh... Come on, let's hurry up and wash up before we go out, the chase is about to start again..."

As for the picture frame on the wall at the foot of the bed, which hasn't shown any abnormalities yet...

Yu Shijiu felt that people who collect these things are all rather bored.

Lu Chusheng's version of "Fatty," who was being dragged upside down and walking upright: "..."

If it weren't for his thick, fluffy cat fur, he probably would have blushed on the spot.

Captain Lu has never made such an embarrassing mistake before.

They can't even admit it or resist it.

Yu Shijiu, who had been carrying (actually dragging) "Feifei" to the bathroom, let go of "Feifei" and let it lick its fur. He quickly grabbed a water cup, gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, washed his face with a handful of water, and rushed out.

"It's past twelve o'clock... The chase is about to start, we need to go downstairs to find Brother Chen and the others..."

Yu Shijiu, who was muttering to himself, looked like an eighteen-year-old boy. He shook the water off his hands and walked towards the door.

Lu Chusheng followed silently behind him without saying a word.

When she opened the door, Yu Shijiu still looked back once.

On the edge of the bedside table, the little girl in the vase was still staring intently at him, her huge, dark eyes filled with resentment and malice. Her split lips revealed sharp teeth that snapped the toothbrush in half, and she swallowed it back into her mouth with a crunching sound right before Yu Shijiu's eyes.

While chewing, he looked at Yu Shijiu and let out a strange laugh.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He looked at the little girl in the vase and sighed.

Lu Chusheng looked up at him and saw Yu Shijiu open the door and say with a hint of sympathy:

"How pitiful, she was so hungry that she even ate her toothbrush."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

His breathing paused slightly, and he smiled helplessly.

Sometimes, Yu Shijiu's words are really... a bit ridiculous.

Lu Chusheng thought so.

Click.

The door is closed.

Silence fell over the room once again.

The little girl, who was being ignored to the point of almost going crazy, suddenly quieted down.

It slowly opened its mouth wide, its sharp teeth still stained with red blood and bits of plastic from a toothbrush, and emitted a series of shrill laughs in the dimly lit room.

"Hee hee hee……"

The little girl's head in the vase began to shrink like a rotting corpse, and then her head and hair disappeared above the vase without a trace.

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

Inside a room on the third floor.

Xu Han, determined to bring her "pet" with her, looked utterly desperate.

He stared at the Samoyed, who was engrossed in chewing up the pillow, and his head was about to explode.

What's going on?! Why did he have to bring such a "lively pet" with him when he ran away?! Won't that make the escape even more difficult?!

Unfortunately, no matter how crazy Xu Han was, he still had to take the Samoyed out in the end.

—Because the prop I used to put the Samoyed to sleep last night didn't work anymore!!!

And it's the kind that's non-refundable and non-exchangeable!

As Xu Han thought of this, his right hand, which was holding the syringe, began to tremble uncontrollably.

What a waste! This item could easily fetch around 500 points if sold, and now, the last use is invalid?! How can it be invalid?!

Xu Hanqi felt a sharp pain in his heart.

If he hadn't become incredibly healthy after entering the Dawn Game, he suspects he might have been so angry that he had a heart attack.

"Xu Han?"

Chen Yi knocked on the door. "Hurry up, we're leaving."

He Lingling's voice followed, "Hurry up, hurry up, we still need to go to the fourth floor to meet Shi Jiu. There are less than ten minutes left before the chase starts."

"Coming, coming, coming!!"

Xu Han quickly responded loudly, "Coming, coming! Coming right now!"

He Lingling and Chen Yi, standing outside the door, looked at each other and sighed.

Separated by just a door, Xu Han could no longer muster his anger. He kept begging and coaxing the Samoyed, who was still biting the pillow cotton as if lying, and finally managed to coax it into going out with him.

As Xu Han put the rope around its neck, she felt utterly exhausted.

Good heavens, why did they give him such a disobedient "pet"?!
