Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 484 Photographs

Yu Shijiu's drowsy eyelids lifted slightly, and he slowly took the newspapers and photos, responding with a sound.

"Okay."

Even so, Yu Shijiu couldn't help but yawn.

Lu Chusheng subconsciously looked up at his sharp chin and face, feeling that the other person's cheeks, which used to have a hint of baby fat, had disappeared.

Have you lost weight again?

Lu Chusheng felt a little uncomfortable and secretly decided to buy more food to send to Anjie and the others after they left the dungeon.

Completely absorbed in his own consciousness, Captain Lu completely forgot one thing.

That's because Yu Shijiu is young; he's been growing all along.

It's been almost three months since Yu Shijiu came to Dawn Games. He's been fed by Chen Yi and the others every day. Although he doesn't seem to have gained much weight, he has definitely grown taller.

Adolescence is a time of rapid change, and the chubby cheeks that were once youthful and not very noticeable naturally fall out even faster.

This is just Yu Shijiu's normal growth process after reaching adulthood.

Yu Shijiu didn't notice that Lu Chusheng was looking at her.

Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. After all, in his eyes, Lu Chusheng was just a giant orange cat named Fatty.

Who would have thought that Captain Lu would suddenly appear inside Fatty's body?

Almost no one knows.

The photo in Yu Shijiu's hand had a strong, fishy smell, as if it had just been taken out of blood.

Yu Shijiu glanced at the blurry bloodstains in the photo, wiped them on his clothes, and looked down at the photo without any disgust.

The photo is a bit blurry, but it's not hard to tell that it's a simple operating room with cold, white lighting. On the operating table inside, a man lies with his abdomen cut open, and a nurse stands beside him holding a metal tray with a scarlet heart that seems to still be beating...

This is the first photo.

Having experienced the illusion, Yu Shijiu didn't look at it for long before picking up the next one.

The next photo shows the same simple operating room, but this time the man operating on the operating table is replaced by a fair-skinned and beautiful girl.

The girl was wearing a blood-stained white dress, her limbs were tightly bound to the operating table with straps, and there was a pair of blood-splattered hands wearing blue gloves on her right hand.

This is a girl who is being dismembered while she is fully conscious.

Yu Shijiu paused slightly in the hand holding the photo.

Through the photograph in his hand, he gazed at the girl on the operating table across dimensions that were impossible to reach.

What kind of eyes are those?

The girl lay on the operating table, her once bright and lively eyes now fixed on the person next to her whose only exposed hands were visible. Her eyeballs were almost bulging out. She seemed to be pleading for help, or perhaps begging, but beneath the shallow surface of this hope to live was a much deeper hatred and despair.

She was filled with hatred.

Yu Shijiu flipped through several pages in a row.

This is a series of connected photos, showing a girl on the operating table who initially had all four limbs intact but was eventually cut into a deformed "spectacle" with only her torso remaining.

In the last photo, Yu Shijiu saw a nurse carrying a beautiful blue and white vase with a beautiful glaze, walking towards the operating table in the corner of the photo.

"..."

Yu Shijiu's breathing paused for a moment.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the vase-like girls outside the barrier, who were emitting strange laughter and ruthlessly strangling one human pig after another.

They were just as beautiful, young, with long, beautiful hair and the most expressive features—but here, they could only become one wronged soul after another, living in the abyss of hatred.

Yu Shijiu was speechless for a moment.

He lowered his head again.

This time, the pleading and pleas for help in the eyes of the girl whose limbs had been amputated in the last photo had completely disappeared.

She stared intently at Yu Shijiu through the photograph, her lifeless eyes filled with the madness and hatred that had driven Tongli Road to madness.

From the moment her limbs were forcibly removed and she was turned into a "pretty object" kept in a vase, the real her was already "dead".

Yu Shijiu thought quietly.

He slowly turned the photo over, and a line of somewhat distorted black characters was reflected in his eyes.

"I...can't save her...I'm sorry...I can't save you. I'm...useless."

"..."

The words are very short, but the strokes are broken several times, which shows that the person who took the photo was close to a mental breakdown at the time, which is why the black characters look somewhat distorted.

Yu Shijiu sorted through these photos that represented a girl from birth to death and placed them at his feet.

Lu Chusheng also peeked out to look at the photos.

Yu Shijiu ignored it and took out new photos to look at.

Chen Yi, standing beside him, slowly unfolded the blood-soaked newspapers, bringing them closer to the congealed blood-written characters, squinting as he carefully examined them.

"An investigation by newspapers across the country has revealed strange meat containing human genes in multiple locations in **town of **province... It is preliminarily suspected that this meat containing human genes came from the same person..."

"Another horrific murder case! The victim's internal organs were forcibly removed, leaving only rotting flesh found by sanitation workers in a trash can. A police autopsy revealed that the victim's organs were removed while the victim was still alive..."

"A woman's body, with her limbs severed, was discovered in the bushes of a deserted city. The perpetrator, in a state of utter depravity, cut off the adult victim's hands and feet and stuffed them into a vase... Inside the vase, the victim's severed limbs were covered in rotting flesh and maggots, a horrifying and gruesome scene..."

"..."

After reading several reports about death, Chen Yi had a headache. He gritted his teeth and continued to painstakingly read the newspaper.

These reports made no mention of the Fuling Hotel whatsoever. It's unclear whether he overlooked something or if the Fuling Hotel itself was a cover-up...

Chen Yi read the newspapers in front of him word by word several times, and finally saw a tiny piece of text at the very bottom corner of one of the newspapers.

"Job Posting: Due to the expansion of its floor space, Fuling Hotel in this city is now sincerely recruiting various talents. If you are interested, please bring your health certificate and ID card to the fourth floor of Fuling Hotel for a relevant interview."

"……interview?"

Chen Yi considered the two words carefully, his head throbbing with pain.

It's normal for Fuling Hotel to hire employees, but the problem is that it requires its employees to be in good health. Does this mean that employees are also a kind of "ornament"?

That shouldn't be possible.

Chen Yi glanced at the pretty girls outside the barrier who were still strangling the human pig monsters, and dismissed the guess.

If they were truly just pitiful people, these pretty girls wouldn't have ended up killing each other with the monsters and monstrous creatures... It wouldn't even qualify as killing each other; a one-sided massacre to vent anger would be a more accurate description.
