Infinite: Dawn Game

He Lingling's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but she continued to smile politely.

"Thank you."

This time, the nun didn't say anything more. She just stood in the elevator watching Yu Shijiu's back as he slashed at the monster in the corridor, without uttering a word.

Mu Gui kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

It was almost 5:30 when Yu Shijiu and Chen Yi returned. Yu Shijiu raised his wrist and said, "Brother Chen, it's almost 5:30."

"Let's go downstairs first," Chen Yi said in a low voice, subtly blocking the nun's gaze.

"Lin Shuli should wake up when we get to the first floor."

"..."

He Lingling and Xu Han remained silent, staring intently at the edge of the elevator in front of them and the gradually activating brains above.

If their guesses are true... then each part of these brains is most likely a "Lin Shuli"...

Xu Hanguang felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it and dared not speak.

If that's the case, wouldn't Lin Shuli know everything that they did and talked about at the Fuling Hotel?

Oh my god.

Xu Han's mask of pain.

He felt his head was buzzing... probably because his already low-capacity CPU had burned out...

Drop drop!

The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing a dimly lit first-floor corridor.

The sound of the elevator doors opening broke the eerie silence inside. Chen Yi reached out and nudged Yu Shijiu, whispering:

"Shi Jiu, let's go."

Yu Shijiu walked out carrying an axe, followed by Chen Yi and the others as they exited the elevator.

Xu Han felt an itch on the back of his neck while carrying Xiao Li, but he could only endure it.

I'm sorry, it's very impolite, but he still can't quite accept the sticky, soft human flesh...

The nun and the pastor were the last to leave the elevator.

After stepping out of the elevator, the nun deliberately walked slowly until she saw Yu Shijiu and the others turn into the corridor before she stopped.

Mu Gui pursed his lips and asked softly, "Sister, where should we go now?"

"Go to the main gate."

The nun smiled and said, "Someone's already working up ahead, we can just lie down and follow behind."

Mu Gui was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "It's Yu Shijiu and the others—"

"Shhh."

The nun put her hand to her lips in a shushing gesture and said with a smile:

"Don't tell anyone, it's not a good idea."

Mu Gui stood there, speechless, and nodded slowly.

...Although he didn't know what the nun meant by those words.

Why is it bad to say it out loud?

But the pastoral rules dare not be spoken of.

As a "subordinate," Mu Gui only needed to keep quiet and follow along to escape.

The less he meddles in other matters, the longer he can live.

----------

First floor.

The lights in the first-floor corridor were dim, unlike the bright and dazzling lights on the second, third, and fourth floors, making the surrounding walls look particularly gloomy.

"Is he coming out?"

Yu Shijiu was somewhat irritated.

He has never been very patient.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "It should be soon."

He Lingling nodded in agreement. She was probably the one with the strongest sixth sense among the four. "I could feel that someone was watching us."

...She had experienced the same feeling of being watched when she lost her eyes.

Then her eyes were "taken away".

As the three walked and talked, Xu Han, carrying a small gift, weakly interjected.

"Um, um, can I say something?"

"what happened?"

Chen Yi turned his head to look at Xu Han. From his angle, he could just see the little Li that was constantly twisting on Xu Han's shoulder.

Honestly... Xiao Li's current state looks really twisted... and terrifying.

Her limp body, her eyes constantly brimming with bloody tears, and her venomous gaze were all physically unsettling.

Xu Han has indeed become much bolder.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi added with relief, "Are you tired of carrying it? Then I'll take over—"

"no no!"

Xu Han quickly shook his head. He swallowed hard, cautiously turned his head to look at the dimly lit surroundings, and whispered:

"What I really want to say is, where are we headed right now?"

"door."

He Lingling responded, "Aren't we leaving? So naturally we should head towards the hotel entrance."

Chen Yi nodded, "Lingling is right."

All they have to do now is bring Xiaoli to the hotel entrance... and then, with a little "hand" that doesn't quite conform to socialist values, they can "invite" (force) Lin Shuli out.

"……Yeah?"

Xu Han scratched his head. "But I'm thinking, isn't the route we're taking a little off?"

The rest: "..."

Chen Yi stopped in his tracks, and He Lingling's face also turned ugly.

Yu Shijiu hissed as he held the axe, and said thoughtfully:

"Yes, the road we're on... it looks kind of familiar."

This looks... kind of like a route to a restaurant?

Xu Han muttered, "...We can't go to the restaurant. Although that pretty waitress there didn't kill anyone last night, she didn't say she wouldn't kill anyone tonight either..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty, who had been standing silently beside Yu Shijiu, suddenly roared several times towards the dimly lit corridor directly opposite them.

Unlike the usual soft meows, this was a wary growl, the kind that comes when encountering a strong opponent.

The group immediately stopped talking, held their breath, and looked up at each other.

In the dimly lit corridor, the once peaceful crimson corridor was now filled with the sound of footsteps.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps...

The footsteps were heavy, indicating that the person was a rather large and imposing figure. Each step seemed to leave a deep dent in the heavy, blood-stained ground beneath their feet.

Yu Shijiu gripped the axe tightly.

He Lingling and Chen Yi subconsciously wanted to activate their innate skills—the former impatiently withdrew them.

She still can't use "Ghost Eye".

Xu Han's neck was getting increasingly itchy.

If at first he just felt an itchy, slightly uncomfortable sensation on his neck, now it felt like tiny insects were constantly crawling on the back of his neck, even biting his skin—

This time, Xu Han couldn't resist reaching out and scratching it.

puff-

The slightly sticky, eerie, and rotting sensation made Xu Han's hair stand on end.

Then his hand froze in place.

In the dim light, Xu Han looked down shakily at the hand that had just grabbed his neck, and saw that his hand was covered with a festering, broken piece of pinkish-white liquid.

...It's somewhat, somewhat like, like those pig brains—

"!!!!!!"

Xu Han was so frightened by her own shocking guess that she wanted to scream, but she forced herself to stop her trembling hands from reaching for He Lingling beside her.

"He, He Lingling..."

Xu Han's hands trembled as he whispered, "You guys, don't look yet, look at me first, check if there's anything on the back of my neck..."

He Lingling was pulled to the side by him and saw Xu Han cautiously turn his head—He Lingling's pupils suddenly shrank due to fear.

"Xu Han!"
