Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 490 Coincidence

The nun's laughter was very soft.

Looking at the haggard woman in the mirror, whose face was unrecognizable, she was momentarily unsure whether she should continue smiling.

Continuing to laugh seems a bit silly, but if she doesn't laugh, all she can do is cry.

Tears are the most useless thing.

With a smile on her face, the nun lowered her head and began to clean the bloodstains from the white blindfold. Her rough, scarred fingers scrubbed the white cloth with great force, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

—Just like she always has.

She squatted by the river, mechanically washing a heavy, filthy basin of clothes. Every time she looked at the flowing river in front of her and saw her hands, which were frozen and covered in sores, she had the urge to jump in.

But she didn't want to die.

At that moment, she only had a tiny, tiny urge to jump.

Nuns weren't always called nuns.

She has another name.

Unfortunately, she didn't want to use that name anymore.

slam-la-

After washing the white cloth clean, the nun set it aside to dry. She then carefully washed her face and hands, and took one last look at herself in the mirror.

It was still that same weathered, aged face.

But in reality, she is only in her thirties.

If it weren't for that accident... she would be living the life she has now.

After all... nuns are very beautiful women.

The nun lowered her eyes slightly and turned off the light as she left the bathroom.

In the darkness, the nun's aged and weathered face gradually returned to normal, slowly freezing in her most youthful and beautiful moment, solidifying little by little.

Outside the town.

The female gamers who had been watching the nun's live stream were getting anxious.

"What happened? Why did the nun's live stream suddenly go black? This has never happened before!"

"Yeah, this never happened before. How come Dawn Game is regressing after leveling up?"

"In the real world, a black screen indicates network lag. Does that mean Dawn of the Game is also lagging now?"

"But everyone else's live streams are fine, aren't they?"

"..."

"...The nun probably hasn't entered game instances much before, has she?"

This was a male player cautiously interjecting.

"That's because the nun herself is very capable and doesn't lack points."

A female player who followed the nun retorted to him, "The nun can live a good life without entering game dungeons, so why does she have to work so hard to earn points in game dungeons?"

The male player was speechless for a moment: "..."

"I think you're just—wait! The screen should go black!!!"

"It's really done! Wait, why did the room suddenly go dark?"

"My goodness, the nun can walk so fast in such darkness, she's really amazing!"

"..."

Some of the male players nearby exchanged glances: "..."

No wonder everyone says that the female gamers who imitate the nun are brainless fans... Looking at it this way, the term "brainless fan" is perfectly fitting for them.

They truly never expected that even at Dawn Games, there would still be someone so infatuated with following a single person... and that person was even a woman.

The male players chuckled, their expressions a mix of mockery and incomprehension.

These few sarcastic laughs, hidden in the crowd, did not reach the ears of the female players who were excitedly watching the live stream screen.

As they watched the nun push open the bathroom door on the live stream screen, their hearts finally began to settle down.

"Oh my god..."

A female player wiped her face, and the fear in her eyes gradually disappeared.

"I really thought something had happened."

"will not."

Another female player looked up and said, "The nun is very powerful; there's no way something could happen to her."

"...Yes, I heard that players can actually make the live stream go black for a short time, but it requires a lot of points, so most players are reluctant to use it."

"? There's such a thing?"

"It's always been there, but it costs a thousand points for every minute the screen is black... so almost no players use it."

Even the most renowned players on the leaderboard wouldn't easily risk having their live stream go black with a thousand points.

This does them no good.

But why did the nun suddenly use her points to make her live stream screen go black?

The female players looked at each other, somewhat puzzled by the nun's thoughts.

"...Could it be that the nun suddenly wanted to try out the black screen function?"

"Oh my god..." another female player exclaimed, covering her mouth, "That's actually possible."

After all, judging from the nun's personality, she really is the kind of person who does whatever she wants.

"..."

--------

Fourth floor corridor.

When Yu Shijiu and "Feifei" emerged from the heavy darkness at the doorway, Chen Yi, who had been standing there anxiously, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the few minutes he waited, he had already ruined one protective item and had just taken out another new one to use.

"Are you injured?"

Chen Yi quickly used the props, and the barrier that reappeared blocked the monsters that rushed towards him after smelling the human scent, making "bang bang bang" sounds.

Yu Shijiu, who was immediately grabbed by the arm and spun around by Chen Yi as soon as she came out: "..."

He spun around in a daze, then subconsciously shook his head: "No, I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all."

"Really?"

"real."

Yu Shijiu nodded seriously.

He really wasn't injured.

Chen Yi was somewhat skeptical, and only after carefully checking Yu Shijiu's entire body did he let go of her.

But Chen Yi still frowned and sighed: "It seems the manager won't lay a hand on the customer—"

"A move? The manager?"

Yu Shijiu looked up at him and said, "No, the manager will attack the guests, he just didn't attack me."

Chen Yi: "?"

"What? You didn't attack me? You really didn't touch me—"

Then Chen Yi saw the axe that Yu Shijiu was holding in his right hand.

There were only some residual brown bloodstains on the axe surface, which looked like they had been there a long time ago, with no trace of fresh blood at all.

"..." Chen Yi believed Yu Shijiu's words.

"Then why didn't he make a move?"

Chen Yi inquired.

“Oh,” Yu Shijiu said quite honestly, “because I exposed his secrets.”

Chen Yi: "?"

What's the truth?

"What's your background?"

"I tricked him," Yu Shijiu explained with a smile, bending down to stroke the chubby dog ​​that was quietly sitting at his feet.

“I noticed a cigarette burn on his wrist, and it looked familiar. Guess what? I saw the same cigarette burn in the illusion.”

Yu Shijiu: "Same location, same shape of cigarette burns, same Fuling Hotel. Oh right, listen carefully, the manager's voice and the man in the iron cage sound quite similar."

"Brother Chen, there shouldn't be such a coincidence in the world, right?"

"..." Chen Yi fell silent.
