Infinite: Dawn Game

The next second, He Lingling quickly stepped forward and pressed down on Xiao Li's body, saying urgently:

"Her body is going limp! Hold her down! Don't let her slip out of the ropes!"

Chen Yi and Yu Shijiu simultaneously pressed down on Xiao Li, whose body was beginning to go limp. The latter stared in shock as Xiao Li convulsed into a bloody, mangled mess of soft flesh, his brows furrowed.

"What's this?"

Yu Shijiu didn't quite understand.

Xiao Li, who had been weeping blood on the sofa, had somehow turned into a twisted, trembling mass of soft flesh. The blood, tears, and the twisted, broken body were all limp together. The only normal thing about her face was now convulsing into a shattered mess, a sight that filled one with dread.

Xu Han, who rushed over, was so frightened that he took a step back and whispered several times as he pointed at Xiao Li, who was being held down.

"What's wrong with her? What's wrong with her?!"

He Lingling's face was grim. "How could things have suddenly turned out like this?"

Yu Shijiu shook her head, "I don't know—"

He stopped abruptly, looked up and met He Lingling's gaze, then hissed.

Chen Yi also noticed something. "Is it because... Xiao Li was skinned and had his tendons pulled out before he died?"

"..."

Xu Han's pupils trembled in shock at those words, "What do you mean, what do you mean by being skinned alive and having your tendons pulled out..."

"So that's it."

Yu Shijiu thought for a moment and frowned slightly: "So Xiao Li, who was covered in blood and hung in the hall in the videotape, had already had her tendons pulled out at that time."

It's just that the skin hasn't been peeled yet.

"This is the only way."

He Lingling sighed. She felt her temples throbbing rapidly, and even her eyes were a little sore.

"……What should we do now?"

Xu Han snapped out of his shock, hesitated, and pressed down on the soft, muscular body beneath his hand, feeling a tingling sensation all over his body.

"Shi Jiu, how much time do we have left?"

Chen Yi asked, his head throbbing with pain.

"According to the plan of leaving at 5:30... there are still fifteen minutes left."

Yu Shijiu said, "Shall we go to the first floor now?"

"...go."

Before Chen Yi could respond, He Lingling spoke first:

"There are many strange things on the third floor, and it takes us time to walk up, let alone kill the strange things. It's better to get out of here sooner."

That being said, everyone present knew that there was really no other way to put it.

Xiao Li's current state seems a bit strange, although it's unlikely... but if Lin Shuli sees his sister like this and thinks they hit her, then things will get complicated.

Yu Shijiu didn't care what Lin Shuli thought; in the end, he would have to fight Lin Shuli no matter what.

...Oh, strictly speaking, it's a life-or-death struggle.

Yu Shijiu thought about it for a moment, but ultimately decided not to say it.

There's something off about saying it out loud.

"it is good."

Chen Yi stood up, stretched his still somewhat numb and swollen limbs, and turned his head to say:

"Xiao Han, take Xiao Li with you... You can carry her or hold her, just one thing: please don't let her fall, okay?"

Xu Han swallowed hard upon hearing this, but he still refused, nodding repeatedly and hesitantly:

"Yes, yes, yes, I definitely, uh, I'm sure I can..."

Xiao Li, who had been pressed down on the sofa, gradually stopped moving. She stared at everyone around the sofa with her blood-red eyes, as if trying to memorize each person's face.

Xu Han felt a little flustered by her gaze, and couldn't help but take a tissue and gently cover Xiao Li's eyes.

Xiao Li: "..."

The blood and tears quickly soaked through the paper, but they did indeed obscure part of Xiao Li's bloodshot eyes.

Xu Han was no longer afraid. He took a deep breath and hoisted the limp Xiao Li onto his shoulder, trying to convince himself that nothing was wrong... nothing was wrong, nothing had happened.

He Lingling followed behind her and reached out to support Xiao Li's swaying head.

The soft, sticky texture, similar to the sensation of breaking through the muscles of fruit or meat, traveled from the palm of her hand all the way to her brain, and the eccentric He Lingling couldn't help but shiver.

"...Let's hide in the back and stay far away."

Before leaving, He Lingling said, "Just don't get in the way."

Xu Han: "...Oh."

The third floor was still filled with strange creatures and decorative waiters, and because they hadn't fought with players for a long time, they were so numerous that it triggered trypophobia in some people—only Yu Shijiu would open his eyes and start slashing.

As soon as Xu Han and He Lingling appeared, the temperature in the corridor suddenly dropped a few degrees.

In a corner of the corridor unseen by anyone, countless brains, quietly curled up in the crevices, began to wriggle. The white brains, streaked with blood, gathered together and slowly crawled toward Xu Han and He Lingling.

All of this went unnoticed by Yu Shijiu and the others in the corridor.

"The temperature has dropped."

Chen Yi blocked the gap behind Yu Shijiu, and after cutting the attacking human-pig monster in half with his knife, his expression turned solemn.

"Lin Shuli should have already seen Xiaoli."

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it,” Yu Shijiu said with a smile as he turned around. “Looks like we need to get down to the first floor as soon as possible.”

The final escape route is on the first floor.

They had to get rid of the eerie things in the corridor and get to the first floor quickly.

"Ah."

Chen Yi said to He Lingling, who had followed him, "Lingling, you two go into the elevator first!"

He Lingling nodded and ran in that direction, while Xu Han, carrying Xiao Li, also ran very fast, not forgetting to turn back and shout:

"But there are brains in the elevator! Are we really going to be okay?"

Chen Yi and He Lingling: "..."

Chen Yi's face immediately turned ugly. "...Even if we have to, we have to go in. This time, go straight to the first floor!"

Xu Han made two "oh" sounds and frantically chased after He Lingling's retreating figure.

A white Samoyed was following behind, jumping around.

The Samoyed seemed genuinely a bit silly, and wasn't afraid of the few scattered human-pig-like creatures that surrounded it, barking at them incessantly.

Xu Han shouted angrily, "You idiot! Come here right now!!!"

Only then did it reluctantly turn around and run wildly towards Xu Han and the other person.

Seeing that Xu Han and the other person were almost at the elevator door, Chen Yi also shouted to Yu Shijiu to quickly step back.

Yu Shijiu was very obedient this time. With a flick of her wrist, she took away a row of grotesque human heads in front of her and quickly retreated.

The chubby creature beside her was incredibly agile, retreating while biting at the monsters attacking from the side, and occasionally glancing at Yu Shijiu.

It was somewhat worried that Yu Shijiu might get hurt.

Xu Han and He Lingling had already run to the elevator. He Lingling quickly pressed the button—beep beep beep!

The elevator doors suddenly opened, and the two people who were about to step inside froze on the spot.

Inside the elevator, a woman with her eyes blindfolded and a tall man behind her with his head bowed smiled at them, her lips crimson.

"ah."

The nun greeted them with a smile, "What a coincidence? You haven't gone down yet?"

Xu Han was so startled that he took a step back and subconsciously looked at He Lingling.

Why did the nuns come down here?!
