Infinite: Dawn Game

Chen Yi hesitated.

"What else?"

Yu Shijiu was puzzled. "Doesn't this mean that Xu Han and the others didn't kidnap the wrong person?"

"The real Xiao Li has been brought under control; the cleaning lady is just a figment of Lin Shuli's imagination."

Yu Shijiu said, "From the current perspective, we are definitely able to force Lin Shuli to come out."

"..."

Chen Yi nodded, "Then let's rest for a while..."

He had a bit of a headache. "The props can probably last for about two hours. Let's rest first, so we'll have some energy if we have to go out and join the chase later."

Yu Shijiu had no objections. He nodded and said, "Okay, before we rest, I need to confirm one more thing."

Chen Yi: "?"

"decide what?"

"painting."

Yu Shijiu spoke succinctly, walked to the wall opposite the foot of the bed, and reached out to take down the frame of the painting that was soaked in blue-black paint.

"Now that we know Lin Shuli, the messy blue-black lines in this painting... look somewhat familiar."

“Brother Chen,” Yu Shijiu’s fingers traced each line on the drawing, pausing briefly at each spot, and said:

"Doesn't this shape resemble a closed door in the dark?"

Chen Yi stared blankly at the distorted, nonsensical blue-black paint on the painting, and slowly made out the outline of a door by following Yu Shijiu's finger.

This outline... is at least 90% similar to the gate he just saw in the illusion, if not 100%.

The difference is that the twisted blue-black door in the painting is the shape seen from the outside.

It's like it's being forcibly shut down.

"...This is Lin Shuli's perspective."

Chen Yi remained silent for a long time before sighing, "After he was locked out, he looked back at the gate when he tried to escape."

Twisted, chaotic, and haphazard dark blue paint gradually outlines the scene the boy sees during his terrified escape, depicting inch by inch the countless hands reaching out for survival from the closing door.

At this moment, even the players outside the screen remained silent for a long time.

Some people sighed, thinking about the hands they saw while watching the live stream.

"So those paint-dripping hands from the picture frame are actually people trying to escape?"

She ultimately didn't say the word "goods".

As a fellow human being, even if we don't live in the same dimension, she believes she should respect all life.

Only species that respect life and cherish their own lives can be called "human".

"Those are the goods, aren't they?"

The person next to him didn't seem to care and casually said:

"To be honest, this Fuling Hotel game instance is too boring. It's long and tedious. The only interesting part is that so many people die at the beginning. After that, it's all just some meaningless plot. It's quite boring."

This remark enraged the female player who had just sighed. "What do you take their lives for? A joke?"

The man looked at her as if she were a lunatic and clicked his tongue.

"If you're sick, just die already. I like watching people die, so what?"

"you!"

"do not talk."

The player watching with the female player glanced at the male player who was standing there talking nonsense, and said with a forced smile:

"When he gets brutally killed during his game dungeon livestream, I hope he still sticks to his idea and doesn't think that he can't die."

The male player stood up angrily after hearing this, pointing his finger at the two men's faces.

"What exactly do you guys want?! What's wrong with me making a casual comment while watching a live stream? What's wrong with me saying what I want to say? If you don't like it, get lost! All you sanctimonious hypocrites, go to hell—"

Snapped!

The male player was suddenly slapped in the face without anyone noticing, the force of which was so great that he flew out and rolled several times on the ground.

The players next to him were instantly speechless.

Including the two female players who couldn't stand it anymore and were preparing to change seats.

"Who? Who is it?"

The male player, his face swollen like a pig's, scrambled to his feet, his face still bearing traces of blood from the handprint, but he couldn't see them. He continued to frantically point at the onlookers and howl.

"What kind of man hides in the shadows and strikes? If you've got the guts, come out and fight me face to face!"

"Alright, alright," someone couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to stop him from continuing his incoherent howling, rolling their eyes as they said:

"The force of that slap could have hit three of you. The fact that they didn't come out is already a favor to you. And you're still thinking of courting death?"

"That's it."

The players watching nearby nodded in agreement, "That kind of force is no joke. If it were a punch, it could probably kill someone."

"Tsk tsk tsk, hard to say. It might kill someone, but it will definitely make them dizzy."

"That's hilarious..."

"..."

The male player, who was being treated as a joke, was so angry that he almost had a stroke. His face was flushed red as he retorted, but he couldn't catch his breath and actually fainted.

There was a pop.

The male player who fainted lay on the ground unattended.

Several of his companions in the crowd wanted to pull him up, but they also felt that his behavior and words just now were a bit embarrassing, so they hesitated and did not want to move forward.

Only when the other players' attention was drawn back to the live stream did they sneak over to the unconscious male player and drag him away in a sorry state.

Outside the crowd, Lin Feng, dressed in the uniform of the inspection team, waved her hand with a cold expression and chatted with her companion for a few words.

His companion laughed uncontrollably, winking and saying, "Hiding in the shadows to beat someone up, what kind of man are you?"

Lin Feng: "..."

She gave a slightly helpless, stiff smile. "My hands are itching."

Lin Feng was a woman of few words, perhaps because she had only recently emerged from a game instance; she still carried a strong smell of blood.

It's also possible that it's due to her innate skills.

"Aren't you afraid of being found out?"

Lin Feng shook her head. "He can't tell."

Perhaps some people in the crowd noticed, but the male player who fainted certainly didn't. If he could, he wouldn't have been jumping around and yelling so recklessly.

My companion was a round-faced girl who was very lively and not very tall. If there were any familiar people around, they would recognize her at a glance.

Wang Rui had finally managed to get a day off.

Wang Rui, clinging to Lin Feng's arm, complained, "Brother Lu is such a shrew! He knows my talent and skills are useful, yet he keeps exploiting me. I'm so tired and bored. I definitely need to go shopping and get some fresh air today!"

Lin Feng patted her head. "Okay."

After she finished speaking, she added, "I'll go with you."

"That's awesome! Sister Feng, I love you the most!!!"

"...Actually, it's not necessary."

Lin Feng was both amused and exasperated.

----------

"have a rest."

Chen Yi pulled himself out of his pity and said to Yu Shijiu, "We don't have much time left."

"OK."

Yu Shijiu put the painting aside and said with a smile, "Then let's go to sleep."

Once I wake up... it'll be time to get started.
