Infinite: Dawn Game

At this shout, the male player finally realized the consequences of losing the race and struggled to his feet.

"I can, I can, I definitely can..."

The male player walked to the side of the "track", looked down at the burning embers and smelled a certain aroma of hair and meat, and his stomach churned.

But he no longer had the chance.

He had to stand up—no, he had to run!

The male player gritted his teeth and stepped onto the burning coal track, running frantically into the distance under the unbearable gazes of the other players!

At first, it was just a little sore from the heat on the soles of his feet, but when the soles of his shoes melted from the heat of the charcoal, the male player let out a heart-wrenching scream.

All of this was witnessed by the remaining four players, whose fear grew until they couldn't help but bend over and vomit.

This time I really threw up.

It wasn't just the faint aroma of meat in the air; there was also the sight of scarlet, charred blood flowing from the feet of the figure running frantically on the "track" not far away.

This is no longer simply facing death.

At this moment, all the players understood the consequences of losing the "race".

They will replace those things called "food" and become the new "food".

"...This is torture."

Xu Han trembled all over, unable to bear watching: "It would have been better to just die."

If he had just died, he might not have had to endure this despairing pain while alive.

The male player clearly had no items. He looked to be in his early thirties, with a weathered and ordinary face and muscular limbs. In reality, he was probably an ordinary person who made a living by physical strength. He might have a wife and children, or he might have no family at all...

But at this moment, he could no longer be called a "person".

Male gamers are now merely "exhibits" for others to admire.

"..."

He Lingling lowered her eyelids in silence.

She didn't look at the male player who was frantically running forward on the "track" or the Aries girl. Instead, while everyone's attention was focused, she quietly reached out and lifted the curtain on the other side.

As expected, He Lingling saw that in the vases placed on shelves, tables, and the ground not far away, one after another, beautiful and handsome human heads grew out.

Pale faces, bright red lips, and cold teeth... Men and women of different ages huddled together in a small vase, intently watching the competition on the "track".

...This is a spectator match where the roles are completely reversed.

He Lingling lowered the curtains and leaned close to Xu Han beside her, her hands icy cold.

"what happened to you?"

He Lingling heard Xu Han ask her, "Why are your hands so cold? Like ice cubes..."

As Xu Han spoke, he rubbed her hands together and whispered:

"I'll heat it up a bit for you."

Boom——

Thunder rumbled again, and blinding lightning ripped through the clouds, piercing He Lingling's wide eyes. She stared through the glass at the bowl-sized lightning bolt in the dark clouds, her heart pounding faster and faster.

"Xu Han."

He Lingling pulled her head back, her hands trembling as she grasped Xu Han's hand, and whispered:

"We cannot be discovered."

"We absolutely cannot be discovered."

“This is a revenge game against the group of ‘guests,’ and we, we are very likely to…” He Lingling paused for a second and closed her eyes.

"You're probably wrong."

"The Fuling Hotel is not a game of chasing dungeons."

He Lingling said, "It is still a puzzle-solving role-playing story game instance."

Xu Han's pupils dilated in shock, and he exclaimed, "...What?!"

elevator.

Yu Shijiu and Chen Yi moved aside as the elevator doors opened.

Two female players, covered in blood and their faces obscured, rushed out of the elevator, exuding an aura of blood.

It was fortunate that Yu Shijiu and Chen Yi dodged quickly, otherwise they might have been covered in blood.

"We're safe! We're safe!"

The long-haired female player burst into tears of joy, hugging the other female player and crying, "We can get out of here alive, we definitely can get out of here alive!"

Another female player with short hair was not in good condition. Her face, covered in blood, looked somewhat stiff. The calico cat in her arms was nestled against her chest, moving slightly as if it were being affectionate.

"...Xiaoling?"

The long-haired female player called out to her companion, "Why aren't you saying anything? We've already left the second floor..."

Yu Shijiu paused in his steps toward the elevator. He glanced suspiciously at the short-haired female gamer who remained frozen in place, then carefully examined their faces before finally saying earnestly:

"I suggest you stay away from her."

Yu Shijiu said sincerely, "Her 'pet,' and her current state, seem very strange."

Chen Yi, who was standing next to him, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Lu Chusheng, who had just come back to his senses from the statement "Yu Shijiu actually killed someone", turned his head to look at the two female players, his dark green pupils shrinking slightly into vertical pupils.

The calico cat on the female player's chest—

"no, I can not!"

Another female player with long hair shook her head and retorted:

“We hardly used the ‘pets’ at all; we relied entirely on ourselves to rush down from the third floor! The ‘pets’ couldn’t possibly become monsters…”

"it is true."

Chen Yi also spoke up.

“If you want to live, stay away from her, or,” Chen Yi hesitated for a second, then lowered his eyes and said:

“Hard your heart and try to kill her before she transforms into a monster.”

"..."

"You're lying."

The long-haired female player shouted, her face grim, "This could never happen!"

In the dim light, her blood-stained face became twisted and grotesque.

"You're lying! Xiaoling can't be hurt! She can't be hurt!"

"..."

"let it go."

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Yu Shijiu shrugged indifferently.

"I'm just trying to be helpful, you should thank yourself and her for not being stuck in the elevator with us last night."

After all, some of those people from last night died, some survived, and those who survived were a bunch of ingrates. If it were any one of them, Yu Shijiu wouldn't bother with all this talking.

"Let's go."

Yu Shijiu stepped into the elevator first, feeling that her rare act of kindness had been taken for granted, and she looked downcast and somewhat unhappy.

I finally tried to do a good deed but got scolded. I'll never do good deeds again.

Good deeds never get rewarded.

Yu Shijiu thought.

Lu Chusheng followed silently behind him.

"Think about it for yourself."

Chen Yi looked at the long-haired girl and said meaningfully:

“The transformation into a monster takes time to incubate.”

Chen Yi said, "Similarly, your companion couldn't have suddenly become like this, so think carefully, have you really never used a 'pet' before?"
