Infinite: Dawn Game

All the players who were hiding lowered their breathing.

The person who was most afraid was Xu Han.

Xu Han felt like he was about to vomit from the fumes.

Besides the strong stench of the dead sheep in front of him, what terrified him most was the sheep's seemingly unseeing eyes that kept staring at him.

Strangely enough, even though the cabin door was closed and there was no wind inside, the dead sheep hanging upside down kept swaying back and forth in the same spot...

Xu Han felt like she was being swayed so much that she was almost hypnotized.

A sudden, needle-like pain shot through Xu Han's arm, causing him to turn his head sharply. In the darkness, he met the eyes of Yu Shijiu, who had also turned his head.

"what are you doing?"

Yu Shijiu opened his mouth silently.

For some reason, Xu Han was able to see the other person's lip movements clearly even in the dim and murky light.

He instinctively tried to speak, but Yu Shijiu grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him back.

"!!!"

Xu Han was terrified. As she frantically tried to stand up straight, her eyelashes suddenly dripped a pool of scarlet blood onto the ground.

The kind that sticks to the skin.

To be precise, the drop of foul-smelling blood slowly slid down his forehead, down his brow bone, and finally dripped down his eyelashes to his cheek.

Xu Han was stunned.

He subconsciously looked up, but saw nothing.

Yu Shijiu frowned at him, then reached out and covered Xu Han's mouth, which looked like it might scream at any moment.

"Shhh."

Yu Shijiu murmured, "They're coming soon."

Xu Han was still immersed in the fear of a drop of blood inexplicably dripping onto his face, and upon hearing this, he could only nod frantically.

Yu Shijiu then let go of her hand and focused on listening to the approaching footsteps and the whispered conversations of the "masters".

"They are all asleep."

"Um... Brother Ang, do we really have to do that?"

It was Wang Ji's voice.

"...We haven't done anything yet."

This is the sound of Angkor.

"……it is good."

As the two voices drew closer, the breathing of the players hiding in various corners grew fainter and fainter, almost imperceptible.

"That sheep..."

Wang Ji's voice rang out in the dimly lit cabin, "Should we take it with us?"

Angkor stared indifferently at the sheep carcass hanging upside down: "...Tomorrow's."

"what do you mean……"

Wang Ji had a rough idea of ​​what was going on and was somewhat incredulous: "Let those newbies handle it?"

Angkor turned to look at him: "Is it not allowed?"

Wang Ji: "It's not that it's impossible, but isn't this too fast? Shouldn't we wait a few days until the newcomers have adapted to things on the ship before letting them handle it?"

"No need this time."

Angkor Wat directly refused: "I already have someone in mind."

"..."

Wang Ji paused for a moment, then hesitated, "Who?"

"The best performers in the lower deck."

Angkor said softly, "Don't you know best?"

As the one who led the male crew members to the hold to move things and feed the sheep, Wang Ji was indeed the one who knew best.

Wang Ji opened his mouth, then sighed, "Those two lads look quite young..."

"Who isn't young?"

Wu Ge suddenly snorted coldly, "Wang Ji, tell me, how old were we when we boarded the ship? How old was Xiao Min when she was selected to board the ship?"

Wang Ji fell silent again.

Angkor sneered, "We were younger than them back then. Weren't we just eighteen? Or even younger? Do you remember?"

Wang Ji wanted to say something, but in the end he lowered his head in vain. "Brother Wu... shouldn't we let go of the past, try to let it go..."

"Ago?"

Suddenly, Angkor burst into laughter. He grabbed Wang Ji by the collar and pressed him close, saying each word distinctly:

“I’m telling you, I can’t let it go! I never will! Unless! Unless you let me go, unless you let me go…”

Angkor spoke the last few words almost silently.

Yu Shijiu and Xu Han, standing behind the sheep carcass, both frowned, wishing they could get closer to Wu Ge and Wang Ji to listen.

Unfortunately, they couldn't hear anything at all.

After such a heated argument, Wang Ji's voice visibly weakened. He sighed and whispered:

"Does it have to be this way? What if... what if Xiaomin finds out..."

"Don't mention Xiaomin!"

Angkor's voice, which had just calmed down, immediately rose again, and he growled furiously:

"I've said it before, neither you nor I have the right to mention Xiaomin's name!"

"..."

Wang Ji's breath hitched, and after a moment, he helplessly lowered his head and gave in.

"it is good."

Wang Ji's voice was low: "Brother Wu, I will help..."

"..."

The cabin fell silent for a moment, and a few seconds later, the players hiding in the shadows heard Wu Ge pat Wang Ji on the shoulder.

"I didn't want it to be like this either..."

Angkor's voice seemed to tremble: "It's all, it's all their fault that we were forced to this... They forced me, they forced us... They forced us to have no way out."

“Wang Ji, you're too early to know… so you have no idea what those people actually did…”

Angkor's perpetually furrowed brow and dark, deep-set face twisted like a demon in the dim light.

"Angkor?"

Wang Ji was startled by his sudden change in expression and quickly grabbed his arm, saying anxiously:

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"uncomfortable?"

At this moment, Angkor was completely different from his decisive and serious demeanor during the day. He looked at Wang Ji, who was looking at him with concern, and suddenly gave a strange laugh.

"Aji, Xiaomin isn't young anymore. If I introduce her to someone, do you think she'll agree to date him?"

"???"

Completely bewildered by the sudden shift in topic, Wang Ji asked, "Brother Wu, what are you talking about? Didn't you always say that Xiaomin is still young and that we need to work hard to earn money to support her education?"

If you're focused on studying, it's impossible to find a partner and get married so early.

Wang Ji felt increasingly uneasy and a chill ran down his spine. He felt that something seemed off about Angkor Wat...

"……yes."

Angkor's eyes suddenly went blank for a moment, and he said blankly:

"Yes, Xiaomin needs to go to school, and she wants to be a teacher... She can't, she can't find a boyfriend so early..."

"Yes."

Wang Ji followed up, saying, "So, let's work hard and save more money for Xiaomin's education, hehe!"

Wang Ji meant what he said, but for some reason, Wu Ge suddenly stopped talking.

"Angkor?"

Wang Ji asked in confusion.

Angkor only glanced at him before striding toward the upside-down sheep carcass.

After seeing the sheep carcass, Xu Han's relaxed breathing instantly stopped again.

...My goodness! Hadn't I already seen it all?! Why did I suddenly come over for another look?! Is this some kind of dramatic turnaround?!
