Infinite: Dawn Game

As the filthy and disgusting liquid flowed towards him, Yu Shijiu took a step back expressionlessly.

The veins on his hand, gripping the mop handle, bulged, and the bluish-purple veins seemed to be straining.

"Stay away from me, you ugly thing."

This is disgusting.

Yu Shijiu didn't even want to use the fruit knife to attack the other party.

The monster, whose eye had been stabbed, still tried to resist. Yu Shijiu closed his eyes, pulled out the mop handle, and with a sticky water sound, stabbed the mop handle into the monster's other eye.

puff-

Its eyeballs exploded again, and the monster screamed and shrank back, slowly climbing up the elevator floor as it frantically tried to escape.

How could any human being not be afraid of themselves?!

The monster, now blind, felt fear for the first time. It clung desperately to the gaps in the elevator, trying to squeeze in and disappear as quickly as possible.

"and many more."

Yu Shijiu looked at the dark red pus stuck to the mop handle, and irritably slammed the mop handle onto the ground—

Click.

The tip of the mop handle broke off.

The eerie creature, completely unable to see what was happening, scurried even faster into the crevice, fearing that it would be the one to be broken in the next second.

"Didn't you hear me say 'wait'?"

Yu Shijiu watched the monster that was desperately shrinking its body with impatience. He wanted to touch it but was disgusted by the white worms moving all over its body. He could only bang on the wall next to him, making loud "bang bang bang" noises.

The monster dared not move again; it huddled into a ball, its head trembling.

Do you know Xue Yan?

Yu Shijiu asked.

The female ghost in the bathroom ran away when he opened the door, so he barely learned anything about Xue Yan and her daughter, which is why he was able to "talk nonsense" with the dean for so long in the office.

The grotesque, trembling body suddenly paused for a few seconds. It tilted its head, probably thinking it was looking at the person in front of it, when in fact it was completely the opposite.

"Xue Yan?"

The monster repeated the sentence, a mocking look briefly appearing on its bloodied and mangled face before quickly disappearing.

“I know her,” the monster nodded, white worms rustling down from its rotting flesh and crawling onto its hair, which was long enough to cover its body.

“She’s a shameless woman,” the monster said, as its blurred flesh began to mutate.

Yu Shijiu noticed its unusual appearance and his gaze lingered on the tongues that were beginning to grow densely on a certain part of the other's body.

Her tongue was riddled with holes from being gnawed by white worms, and festering blood dripped down it. It moved with the eerie voices, as if mocking Xue Yan.

"She used her good looks to seduce the hospital director, who then promoted her to head nurse, making her the most arrogant and domineering nurse in the sanatorium, withholding wages and verbally abusing other nurses and doctors..."

The eerie creature continued to recount the bad things Xue Yan had done, its tiny, broken tongue trembling excitedly in the air, seemingly also indignant on behalf of the doctors and nurses.

"...A person like Xue Yan should have died long ago. She's just a slut who only knows how to seduce men to climb the social ladder! She's clearly unworthy of her position and has such a low level of education, how did she manage to become the head nurse?!"

"This is so unfair, so unfair..."

The monster became more and more agitated as it spoke, and its body, which had been shrinking into the gap, was halfway out due to its agitation. It then began to hurl insults at Xue Yan with even greater fervor.

Yu Shijiu was not surprised by this.

Xue Yan has been "trained" by the dean into a qualified "pet." In the eyes of the dean, who is also her owner, a pet is not considered an independent individual with human rights.

Therefore, the more arrogant and disdainful Xue Yan became, the happier and more excited the dean, as the instigator, would be... happy that he had turned a person into an animal, excited that he had completely brainwashed Xue Yan into his possession...

Therefore, every time the people at the sanatorium insulted Xue Yan behind her back, they were actually preparing to further indoctrinate the director.

After all, everyone is criticizing Xue Yan, so the only person who doesn't criticize Xue Yan, and who even claims to love her and keeps comforting and accompanying her, can easily cause a person's mental state to collapse.

Xue Yan seemed to have compromised.

The monster got more and more carried away, and Xue Yan in its mouth became the epitome of heinous evil. As countless ugly and disgusting words poured out of its mouth and the holes in its tongue, Yu Shijiu was so annoyed that she could no longer bear it.

He raised the broken mop handle in his hand once more.

As the sharp spikes from the broken mop handle pierced the tongues still grumbling with excitement, the monster let out a scream even more agonizing than when its eyes were gouged out.

Countless, tiny, screams emanating from the tongue.

This time, the monster wasn't oozing disgusting pus, but a glaring crimson.

Yu Shijiu stood still, his smile gradually deepening. For a moment, his amber pupils seemed to turn into tiny slits from the blood in front of him, like the prelude to a beast going berserk.

"So, that's how it is..."

The boy chuckled and looked down at the screaming monsters on the ground, repeatedly poking at their shrieking tongues with the mop handle in his hand.

“That’s right…that’s more like it,” a laugh escaped his throat, and beneath his slightly tousled long black hair, his strangely focused eyes resembled a crescent moon.

"Your weakness is your tongue..."

Off-screen, countless players watching the live stream fell completely silent.

Watching Yu Shijiu laughing and stabbing the monster relentlessly on the live stream, their initial desire to comment vanished.

"Can he really live a good life after coming out like this?"

One player muttered to himself, the fear in his eyes no less than that of the monster struggling in despair on the screen.

No one responded to the player's question.

At this moment, whether they were seasoned veterans or new players who had just left the game and hadn't fully adapted yet, they all felt a deep sense of fear and trepidation as they faced the young man on the screen who was frantically slaughtering monsters.

From this moment on, the name Yu Shijiu was truly imprinted on the list of players who should not mess with him.

There's really no difference between killing someone and killing a monster.

-

The eerie creature looked up in terror, its eyes beneath its long hair now just two blurry, swollen lumps of rotting flesh. Staring at the crimson-black void before it, it opened its mouth, and a scream of agony before its demise echoed throughout the elevator.

"Monster...monster...monster...monster...monster!!!!"

Drop drop-

As the eerie creature inside the elevator completely vanished, the elevator doors, which had shown no signs of opening, slowly opened.

Outside the elevator doors, all was dark. In the thick darkness, one could faintly hear crisp footsteps, accompanied by the occasional laughter of the eerie creatures, creating an incredibly bizarre atmosphere.

Yu Shijiu raised her eyes, slowly stepped forward, and walked out of the elevator, which was covered in scarlet.

drop--

The red light on the elevator door flashed, then slowly returned to silence.
