Infinite: Dawn Game

Chen Yi interrupted Yu Shijiu for the first time. He looked at Yu Shijiu with his chubby face, whose features were not clearly visible, and sighed deeply.

“I know that other players in town think you’re someone who might not be thinking straight.”

Chen Yi carefully chose his words and said, "But I know you are not."

Yu Shijiu pursed her lips and licked the lollipop with the tip of her tongue.

The sweetness filled my mouth once again.

"You won't kill anyone."

Chen Yi said, "I know you wouldn't kill someone without a reason."

Moreover, those players were just harassing him with potions... but they couldn't possibly harm Yu Shijiu at all.

It would be difficult for Yu Shijiu to actually fight them.

Chen Yi firmly believed this.

Yu Shijiu lowered her eyelids slightly as she listened to Chen Yi's voice.

"is it?"

Yu Shijiu heard his own voice ring out, "But Brother Chen."

"I have killed people."

----------

At a table in the corner of the restaurant.

Xu Han was completely bewildered as He Lingling led him to sit down here, still not quite understanding what was going on.

"What's up? Shouldn't we be discussing what to do tonight?"

Xu Han said.

"It's already been agreed upon."

He Lingling sat opposite him, poured herself a glass of water, and after carefully smelling it to make sure it was okay, she took a sip to moisten her throat.

"You've already discussed it?"

Xu Han looked completely bewildered. "How come I didn't know?"

“You don’t need to know,” He Lingling took another sip of water, “you just need to listen to us.”

"..." Xu Han was shocked. "No, you really don't consider me family?"

"That's not the case."

He Lingling's throat, which had been feeling a bit sore from the dryness, was much better now. She cleared her throat and said:

"We'll follow Xiao Li when she comes out."

Xu Han: "...No, why are we following her?"

"because……"

He Lingling quickly and briefly recounted what she and Chen Yi had guessed, "...That's about it. Your task tonight is to tie up Xiao Li with me."

“…No,” Xu Han thought seriously for a moment, considering his own abilities and He Lingling’s petite frame, and asked sincerely:

"Do you really think we can do this? You're not kidding."

He Lingling sneered: "Are you dissatisfied with my abilities?"

“No,” Xu Han shook his head very quickly. “I think you are very good, very capable, and have excellent abilities.”

—Although this time the game dungeon forcibly prevents you from using talent skills.

"Then don't talk nonsense."

He Lingling: "Take a good look at the guests nearby and see if there's anything wrong with them."

Xu Han subconsciously turned his head to look around, and unsurprisingly saw the same scene as when he had dinner last night.

The players who had long since died, along with the "guests" of the Fuling Hotel, devoured the blood-stained "meat dishes" in front of them, completely disregarding the gruesome blood on the dishes.

Yes, tonight's "meat dishes" have been upgraded again.

If last night's "meat dishes" were simply made from human flesh but still looked glamorous, then tonight's "meat dishes" represent a unique pursuit of returning to simplicity.

In short, human brains, hands, hearts, lungs... all sorts of human limbs and internal organs are served directly to the table for people to enjoy without any cooking.

Xu Han felt like vomiting again as he watched this scene.

He Lingling also has some.

She suppressed the urge to vomit and tapped on the table.

"Tonight, the nun will tempt other players to target Shi Jiu, so we're the only ones who can lure the manager out. You better not mess things up."

"understood."

Xu Han looked away, covered his mouth, and took a deep breath.

"Don't underestimate me."

Xu Han said somewhat unhappily, "I never hold anyone back."

"I didn't mean that."

He Lingling said quite sincerely, "I'm just worried that your pet dog will be a hindrance."

Xu Han: "..."

He almost forgot he had a "pet"...

"Probably, no?"

Xu Han hung his head with a long face, "That dog is so disobedient!!!"

"Alright," He Lingling interrupted his wailing, "Don't forget what I said when you see Xiao Li later."

"……I know!"

----------

"..."

Chen Yi stared intently at Yu Shijiu and sighed, "You've killed people and it's all over."

Yu Shijiu: "?"

No, Brother Chen, what did you say? I didn't quite understand—

"You must have been driven to the edge to resort to violence."

Chen Yi looked at Yu Shijiu with affection and reached out to touch her hair. "You are such a good child."

Yu Shijiu: "..."

Players watching this rare heartwarming scene live on their screens were speechless.

"Does Chen Yi have poor eyesight?"

"...Probably, otherwise why would he think Yu Shijiu is a good kid?"

"Yeah! Yu Shijiu clearly looks like a really vicious person inside and out—"

"Excuse me, but honestly, Yu Shijiu does seem to be a pretty good person, in terms of looks?"

"...Please stop talking! Have you all forgotten that Yu Shijiu can take down a monster cabbage with a single axe strike?!"

"..."

Inside the instance, Yu Shijiu himself was stunned for about thirty seconds before nodding in agreement.

"I think you're right, Brother Chen."

Yu Shijiu said seriously, "I am indeed a rare good kid."

Chen Yi coughed for no reason, avoiding Yu Shijiu's sincere gaze, "Yeah, so could you not be so aggressive and rush to the front tonight?"

"Of course -"

Yu Shijiu slammed on the brakes. "Why?"

He didn't quite understand, "I can be a good kid even if I'm at the forefront."

"...Ahem," Chen Yi, somewhat embarrassed by his failed attempt to fool him, quickly changed the subject:

“I know you’re a good kid no matter what, but I worry about you getting hurt.”

"Brother Chen."

Yu Shijiu looked at him disapprovingly, "I'm an adult now."

"..."

Chen Yi remained silent for a few seconds, too embarrassed to say that eighteen years old is actually just a child.

There was no way around it; after all, Yu Shijiu looked quite serious right now...

"Then it's settled this time."

Chen Yi still refused to give up his persuasion: "This time you really can't stay too far away from me."

"Oh."

Yu Shijiu nodded without any hesitation, "I will."

Chen Yi: "You said the same thing yesterday and the day before."

As a result, upon seeing the monster, he ran faster than a dog.

Chen Yi didn't dare say those words aloud.

"is it?"

Yu Shijiu's eyes widened, his expression one of disbelief:

"Oh my god! Did I really say that?"

Chen Yi: "..."

His gentle, chubby face turned into a wrinkled mess.

"Shi Jiu," Chen Yi said weakly, "you can't lie to me this time."
