Infinite: Dawn Game

Near the window that had been blown open by the storm, the glass, which had already been shattered in many places, was shaking violently in the wind and rain, making a crackling sound, as if the window frame would break completely and fall down at any moment.

Lightning churned in the clouds, and each time it illuminated the sanatorium, players could be seen on different floors being chased by long-tongued monsters.

Yu Shijiu only stood there for a few seconds before his face was splashed with cold rainwater. He blinked the raindrops off his eyelashes and leaned slightly forward to look down.

On the ground floor, where the grass had been collapsed by the torrential rain, a man in a white coat lay sprawled on the ground, his body contorted in pain. Beside him lay his shattered glasses, and his body was covered in various wounds inflicted by shards of glass of different sizes. Blood slowly oozed from the wounds, mingling with the rainwater and meandering like blood snakes of varying thicknesses.

The dean is dead?

Yu Shijiu stayed by the window for too long, and He Lingling and Xu Han exchanged a glance. Curious, they leaned closer and peered down as well.

"Fuck!"

Xu Han was shocked: "What the hell? Did the dean accidentally fall and kill himself?!"

He Lingling: "..."

She closed her eyes briefly: "Can't you say something meaningful?"

But what exactly happened to the dean? How could he have fallen to his death from the building all of a sudden?

This scene left not only Yu Shijiu and his two companions bewildered, but also the players watching the live stream in the town.

"Did he accidentally fall?"

One dumbfounded player said the exact same thing as Xu Han, and received eye rolls from different directions.

"Please, like He Lingling said, say something meaningful!"

"Then how do we explain the dean falling and dying? It seems so strange!!"

"..."

The players exchanged glances, and someone whispered:

"That's pretty normal in games, isn't it... After all, most monsters think differently from humans. What if, I mean, what if the Dean just liked to jump off buildings and commit suicide?"

There was silence all around.

This actually has a strangely real feel to it?

------

Regardless of what the players in town thought, Yu Shijiu felt somewhat regretful at this moment.

He looked at the dean's twisted corpse on the grass, then turned to He and Xu with disappointment, saying:

"Looks like I can't raise my favorability rating anymore."

I actually quite like Xuexue.

The way the dean treated her mother, Xuexue probably hates him so much she might wish he were dead. If Yu Shijiu were to torment him properly, Xuexue would be so happy that her points might double...

Yu Shijiu couldn't help but lick her lips when she thought of the big cake Lu Chusheng had given her.

His licking, with his eyes still bearing traces of lingering crimson, startled He Lingling and the other woman. They thought Yu Shijiu had gone mad and wanted to beat up his own people as well.

Xu Han stammered and took a step back, "Well, um, I think, I think, you could go down and whip the corpse again, maybe, it might be useful?"

Although He Lingling felt it was a bit beneath her dignity, after all, she was a well-known player on the leaderboard... However, she had originally made it onto the leaderboard because of her rare talent skills, so it seemed understandable to show weakness occasionally.

Thinking of this, He Lingling nodded: "I agree too."

As for that disgusting dean, it would be too good for him to be whipped after his death!

Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, Yu Shijiu's amber pupils seemed to glow faintly.

“Yes,” Yu Shijiu wiped the rain off her face and clapped her hands with a smile:

"You can get points for desecrating a corpse!"

He and Xu: "..."

What? Points!!

Before the two could react, Yu Shijiu had already excitedly run out of the office, not forgetting to take the mop from behind the door before leaving.

"Wait--"

"Hiss—ah—"

He Lingling suddenly thought of the two strange nurses outside the corridor. Just as she was about to stop them, she heard a series of loud cracking sounds outside the corridor, accompanied by the strange nurses' sharp screams. Yu Shijiu's excited footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

The two people in the office: "..."

After a long pause, Xu Han swallowed and whispered, "So, we're safe now?"

He Lingling wiped the rain off her face and nodded hesitantly, "...I guess so?"

Before He Lingling could finish speaking, there was a knock on the office door.

The two were startled and looked up at the same time.

Outside the wide-open office door, a girl with snow-white skin stood by the door. She gently knocked on the door panel. With a "bang bang," she tilted her head, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a grotesque way, revealing her scarlet gums and a mouthful of sharp teeth.

Hello everyone,

The girl grinned, revealing her sharp teeth. "Have you seen my doll?"

She sighed in distress, her dark eyes as cold and venomous as a snake's.

"It's been with me for a very long time, I can't live without it,"

"It's a promise, you guys have to help me find it."

He Lingling and Xu Han: "..."

Damn it, I should have run out with Yu Shijiu earlier.

And when exactly did we agree to talk to her?!

----------

Inside the elevator, Yu Shijiu looked down at the mop handle that had broken during his fight with the monster nurse, feeling somewhat regretful.

This is unusable, it's too fragile...

As Yu Shijiu pondered, he looked at the increasingly new fruit knife in his left hand and felt satisfied.

He guessed that the fruit knife was something he'd gotten from the trial game, since it was stained with the blood and hatred of the vengeful spirits (and maybe even love), plus his "mother" had been stabbed by this dagger... so he brought it out himself.

It's quite easy to use, but it's too small and too short.

As Yu Shijiu pondered, a drop of bright red blood suddenly fell from the fruit knife.

As the drop of blood fell, strange cries and laughter from a woman suddenly filled the elevator, intertwining in a bizarre and terrifying way.

Yu Shijiu paused.

He slowly raised his head and, unsurprisingly, met the gaze of the eerie creature hanging upside down above the elevator.

On the other person's bloodied and unrecognizable face, rotten chunks of flesh fell off bit by bit, several of them narrowly missing Yu Shijiu's body as they fell.

It smelled fishy and disgusting.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He frowned, and even his smile seemed to falter.

The round openings around the eerie eyes twitched, and tiny white worms began to wriggle and fall down.

"Can you see me?"

It grinned maliciously and tried to get closer to Yu Shijiu, repeating:

"You can see me! Become like me and stay with me! Stay, stay!! You have to stay!!"

Poof!

A broken mop handle was inserted into the monster's eye socket, which let out a terrible scream. The white worms around the eye socket were gradually submerged by the blackish-red pus that flowed out.
