Infinite: Dawn Game

Logically speaking, only one of the three female players has a talent skill (and it's a support-type skill), making it difficult for them to find any clues in the game's dungeons.

But Shi Yuan...

Before leaving, He Lingling glanced back at Shi Yuan, who was still staring intently at the wardrobe, and called out to Sun Qin.

"Sun Qin, let's go."

Sun Qin responded and quickly followed her, still somewhat bewildered as she left the room:

"Aren't we going with Shi Yuan?"

"She'll come down by herself in a bit."

He Lingling walked along the narrow, dimly lit corridor of the ship's cabin. She looked up at the doors around her that were covered with decorations.

"Let's go down first."

"OK then."

Sun Qin turned around and looked worriedly at the wide-open door behind her, then sighed.

...How did she end up being dragged into the Dawn Game due to bad luck?

Is it because she couldn't bear the stupid thing she did—jumping off a building after arguing with her boyfriend for cheating on her?

Sun Qin now thinks back to the excruciating pain of her internal organs ruptured before she died, and she still feels weak in her hands and feet.

Once a person dies, they no longer want to die... especially after personally experiencing such intense pain.

If she could do it all over again, she would definitely be so stupid as to jump off the building—Sun Qin felt that she might actually stab her boyfriend, no, her ex-boyfriend.

As long as the other party doesn't die, that's fine.

Compared to Sun Qin's wildly imaginative and absurd fantasies, He Lingling was recalling the "piano girl" she had seen while passing by the dance floor.

The girl playing the piano must have died in the story.

The kind where someone dies a very tragic death.

Perhaps she could try to chat with the "piano girl" who might seem normal during the day tomorrow, and maybe get some information out of her... But the problem now is that if she and Sun Qin want to get off at the second floor of the ship, they have to go through the dance floor.

The scene on the dance floor that she saw before she left, whether it was the girl playing the piano at the booth or the "guests" dancing in the dance floor... all seemed to show signs of something strange to varying degrees.

If all the guests on the dance floor are now possessed, can the two of them really cross the dance floor safely?

------------

Lower deck.

This was a much dimmer cabin on the ship, filled with densely packed wine barrels and scattered hay.

Unlike the strong fishy smell permeating the stairs, the smell in the lowest area of ​​the hold was completely different.

It has a slightly fishy smell, but it's not very noticeable.

When Xu Han came down, he was overwhelmed by the stench and almost couldn't hold onto the barrel of wine.

There are quite a few players who have done similar things to him.

From what Yu Shijiu saw, there were at least five or six.

The burly, dark-skinned man stood at the very front, with several NPC crew members beside him bending over and placing wine barrels, all working busily.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?!"

The burly, dark-skinned man tapped the empty wine barrel at his feet. "Newbie, hurry up and come help! Don't you want to eat dinner earlier?!"

Seeing this, the players who felt nauseous could only suppress their retching and move forward, bending down to carry buckets of liquor and arranging them like the NPC crew members.

Xu Han gagged, tears streaming down his face, and shoved the wine barrel against the wall, muttering under his breath:

"My God, we're supposed to be fighting like crazy in this dungeon and then have to do all the work? What kind of dungeon is this...? Are we supposed to work until the game ends...?"

Unlike Xu Han, who was rambling on and on, Yu Shijiu, while carrying the wine barrel, turned his head to look at the dark corner on the other side.

The fishy stench there... seemed stronger.

Yu Shijiu thought to herself, and with a sudden inspiration, she quietly approached that corner, taking advantage of the large crowd in the lower deck.

"...Am I right, Shi Jiu? Tell me, what kind of game dungeon has you having to do work too—huh???"

Xu Han, who had been busy and exhausted, looked up, wanting to complain, but he didn't see Yu Shijiu, who had been following him all along.

No... where did Shi Jiuren go?

Xu Han was completely bewildered, so his movements naturally slowed down, and then—he was seen by the burly, dark-skinned man.

The burly, dark-skinned man, thinking he was slacking off, stormed over and yelled:

"No work, no dinner tonight! Not a single bite!"

Xu Han, who had been sprayed with spittle in his face: "..."

He suppressed the urge to vomit and continued to work diligently with his head down.

The burly man was finally satisfied, and before leaving, he patted Xu Han on the shoulder.

"That's what a young man should be like! He needs to be more energetic! That's how a good man should act!"

Xu Han, whose shoulder was throbbing from being slapped, was speechless.

He was so aggrieved that he dared not utter a single word.

How come even NPCs have such strong grip?!

No one knew the inner screams of Xu Han, while Yu Shijiu had already used the crowd as cover to reach that corner where it was not clearly visible.

Before her was a thick darkness. Yu Shijiu blinked, glanced back at the burly, dark-skinned man who hadn't noticed them, and reached out to touch the "darkness" in front of her.

puff-

Yu Shijiu's hand, which was extended into the "darkness," was suddenly bitten by something.

It didn't hurt, but it felt like something soft was holding your finger. Just as Yu Shijiu was startled and tried to pull away, the unknown thing stuck out its tongue and licked around Yu Shijiu's finger.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

Seeing that the unseen thing in the "darkness" didn't seem to have any intention of harming him, he thought for a moment and was about to grab the other's "tongue" when his shoulder was suddenly pressed down.

"what are you doing?"

Yu Shijiu's eyelids twitched.

It was the voice of a burly, dark-skinned man.

The burly, dark-skinned man moved closer to him, the steam rising from his body seeping through his thin clothes, making Yu Shijiu's scalp tingle.

“…Me.” Yu Shijiu blinked, resisting the urge to reach for his axe, and answered honestly:

"I don't know what bit my hand."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the NPC crew members, who had been working busily, all stopped what they were doing.

Yu Shijiu felt the hand pressing on her shoulder tighten even more.

Hearing the cracking sound of bones shifting in his shoulder, Yu Shijiu gripped his axe, ready to retaliate—

"Hahahahaha!"

But then he heard the loud laughter of a burly, dark-skinned man.

"Look how scared you are!"

The burly, dark-skinned man laughed and released his grip. He strode over to Yu Shijiu and reached out to press a switch on the wall.

Click.

As the switch was pressed, the dark, indistinct corner was illuminated by light.

The light was still dim enough to strain the eyes, but it was enough for everyone present to see the scene clearly.

Yu Shijiu was slightly stunned.

Standing before him, holding his hand in its mouth, was a pure white goat with enormous horns standing upright on its head.

The goat's bright black eyes stared at him, and its bright red, withered tongue occasionally darted out from the corner of its mouth that held his hand.

"..."
