Infinite: Dawn Game

Inside the restaurant, apart from the male player's maniacal laughter, everyone else remained silent.

Until even the waiters started laughing at the vase.

The laughter of the men and women gradually grew louder and more intense, mixing with the thin laughter of the male player, creating an absurd scene that made the other four players take a step back.

"The match is over!"

"Let's congratulate this gentleman on winning the race through his own efforts!"

Behind the curtains, Xu Han heard the sound of his teeth chattering.

creak—creak—creak—

What did he just see?

What did that man do?

"...Humans will not entrust their lives to something that is not even human."

He Lingling's voice rang out softly, slowly penetrating deep into Xu Han's brain through his eardrums.

He instantly got goosebumps all over.

"...But it waited for that man for a very, very long time..."

Xu Han subconsciously clenched his fists, "It clearly, clearly believed that man..."

She clearly gave up on her final push to wait for that man... but in the end, she was pushed hard and lost all hope of survival...

why?

We could have crossed the finish line together and survived...

"People are selfish."

He Lingling gently placed her hand on Xu Han's shoulder, her voice low and husky.

"Not to mention that the Aries girl isn't really a real person, and the man won't think he did anything wrong."

After all... Aries girl has already died, hasn't she?

He Lingling's violent chest heaving subsided, but an absurd and desolate fear enveloped her, giving her the illusion that she wouldn't live much longer.

This kind of situation happens far too often in the game Dawn.

Whether it's between monsters and players, or between players themselves... this seemingly harmonious but actually disharmonious "cooperation" can break down at any time.

Like gamblers dancing on a tightrope, none of them can predict what their "partner" will do next.

trust?

What is trust...?

"Do not."

Xu Han shuddered. He suddenly looked up, grasped He Lingling's hand, and said earnestly:

"I will keep my word. Sister An, Brother Chen, and Shi Jiu will definitely feel the same way."

Xu Han pursed his lips, stared at the stunned He Lingling, and said, word by word:

"And you, He Lingling."

"……what?"

He Lingling's voice was a little hoarse, and she subconsciously whispered:

"I don't understand what you mean—"

"the same as you."

Xu Han said, "You would never do the same thing as that man."

"He broke his 'promise' with the Aries girl, but you and we would never do such a thing."

"..."

He Lingling stared at Xu Han for a long while, then lowered her eyelids and her lips moved slightly.

--Fool.

No one can remain unchanged forever.

He Lingling thought to herself with almost indifference.

No one can maintain this kind of "trust" that is similar to entrusting one's life to another forever.

In the eyes of most players, this kind of "naivety" that is so close to "stupidity" is nothing more than laughable.

It's really funny.

He Lingling continued to observe the scene not far away through the gap in the curtains, her lips pressed into a straight line.

After the waiters loudly announced their true victory, the male player finally exhausted all his strength and collapsed on the ground like a rag doll, motionless.

The waitresses smiled as they looked at the Aries girl who was stuck on the "runway," and sighed regretfully.

"Little lamb, little lamb."

The waitresses all said in unison, "You're still too naive. How can you always trust others so easily?"

The waiters sighed again.

"What do we do now? This gentleman has won against you, so you'll have to be roasted in his place..."

"...Meow..."

The Aries girl on the "track" curled up, her bewildered gaze occasionally glancing at the male player on the ground with his head down, while she kept making pitiful and confused "baa~" sounds.

The other four players couldn't bear to listen any longer.

They gritted their teeth, their puzzled gazes first falling on the Aries girl in the "track," and then on the male player lying on the ground.

The female player who had spoken up to warn the male player was so angry that she was at a loss, and in the end, she could only hang her head and remain silent.

She has no right to say anything.

After all, the male player just wanted to live; he just wanted to survive...

"There's nothing we can do, little lamb."

The waitress's long hair slowly swept towards the Aries girl on the "runway".

When the Aries girl realized she was about to be caught, she clearly began to feel afraid; her charred wool started to tremble, and she even tried to run away—

Useless.

The waitresses with black hair were even faster, quickly surrounding the Aries girl who was trying to escape. The black hair then formed a circle and tightly wrapped around the Aries girl's neck, pulling her towards the grill next to the "racetrack".

"What~"

"Baa baa~"

The Aries girl's piercing screams echoed throughout the restaurant, each sound so heart-wrenching that it made everyone want to close their eyes.

Until the Aries girl was forcibly lifted onto the already reddening grill by the black-haired men by the neck, the restaurant, which was already filled with a faint aroma of meat, suddenly burst into an unprecedentedly strong aroma of meat.

At the same time, the Aries girl's pitiful howl could be heard.

"What~"

"Meow meow (Help me)!!!!"

"Meow meow meow meow meow meow (Help me, help me, help me...)!!!!!!!!!"

"..."

The Aries girl's eyes remained fixed on the male player on the ground, who never looked up.

It seemed to be crying for help, yet it also seemed to be filled with resentment.

Amidst the increasingly pitiful screams of the Aries girl, the male player finally raised his head.

He didn't notice at all that the other four players next to him had quietly moved a few steps away from him.

It's okay if male players notice.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong.

He didn't do anything wrong.

He was just an "NPC" who was already dead and corrupted. He was just being a little selfish in order to survive. What's wrong with that?

this is not.

People are not killed for their own sake.

Moreover, he didn't harm any other players.

He's just an "NPC," just an "NPC"...

The male player kept repeating this sentence, and after a while, when he looked at the Aries girl being tossed and roasted on the shelf, he had a completely at ease and guiltless expression.

"Yes... I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong, I did absolutely nothing wrong..."

The male player's cheeks began to twitch, and he gave the Aries girl a twisted, bizarre smile.

"Yes, you were the one who chose to wait for me... I didn't force you... I didn't force you..."
