Infinite: Dawn Game

For a moment, He Lingling thought that she had really been discovered because she was awake.

Fortunately, fortunately... Wu Huimin's grip on her foot wasn't very tight, which meant the other party was just lying to her.

Realizing this, He Lingling felt a chill run down her spine, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

It's okay...it's okay...just pretend you didn't feel anything...

He Lingling forced herself to stay still, pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed.

"..."

At the foot of the bed, Wu Huimin, her face cold, hung her head, her long, black hair cascading down her face, completely obscuring her expression.

No, you can still see a little bit.

If He Lingling dared to open her eyes now, she would see Wu Huimin's long, drooping hair, and those eerie, cold eyes staring intently at her through the gaps in her hair.

Wu Huimin was somewhat disappointed.

She muttered, "She actually fell asleep... How could she really fall asleep..."

He Lingling, who was pretending to be asleep: "..."

She felt cold sweat dripping down her forehead, but she still dared not move.

Even when the footsteps grew fainter and fainter, as if they were about to reach the washroom, I didn't dare to open my eyes.

Just as He Lingling breathed a slight sigh of relief when she could no longer hear footsteps, a gentle breeze suddenly blew her bangs.

He Lingling's skin, hidden under the blanket, instantly broke out in a dense layer of goosebumps.

It wasn't the wind... it was... it was—Wu Huimin was standing by her bedside at some point, blowing air into her forehead!

He Lingling was so frightened that she almost lost her breath. The cold sweat on her back made her clothes stick firmly to her spine, which was very uncomfortable.

"Ugh……"

A sigh came from above: "They're really asleep... You guys have such good sleep quality. I was just thinking of finding someone to chat with..."

"..."

He Lingling pretended to be asleep, but her hand, hidden under the covers, was already digging into her palm. The intense pain made her briefly suppress her trembling.

He Lingling only opened her eyes abruptly when the footsteps faded into the distance and the sound of the door opening and closing rang out. She stared at the rough, dim ceiling and gasped for breath.

...Just a little bit, if she hadn't been able to hold back and made a sound just now... she would very likely have been caught by Wu Huimin.

Even if no one is likely to die on the first night, it doesn't mean the possibility of her being targeted later in the story won't increase...

This is an incredibly frightening guess!

He Lingling began to quickly adjust her breathing. Listening to the light footsteps fading into the distance in the corridor outside the door, she knew that she needed to catch up.

Even if you're scared, you have to follow.

Having regained control of her trembling hands and feet, He Lingling quickly sat up, propped herself up, and began to put on her shoes as she walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

A woman's cold voice suddenly came from behind, "Are you going to challenge Wu Huimin to a one-on-one confrontation?"

It is Shi Yuan.

He Lingling paused while putting on her shoes, but quickly continued putting them on.

She replied, "Yes."

To quickly uncover the secrets hidden within this ship, she had to go, and had no choice but to go.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Shi Yuan spoke again: "I'll join you too."

He Lingling turned around in surprise and met Shi Yuan's gaze, who remained calm.

"Two people traveling together can help each other out to some extent."

As Shi Yuan stood up, He Lingling realized that he had already put on his shoes.

This made He Lingling realize something—Shi Yuan had also woken up long ago.

He Lingling's heart sank: "You were awake just now too?"

"Ah."

Shi Yuan walked to the door and grasped the handle. "To be honest, I wasn't asleep at all."

He Lingling: "? What—"

"I've been in a bad mood lately and have been having trouble sleeping."

Shi Yuan said succinctly: "I was finally getting a little sleepy when I heard Wu Huimin calling for help in the middle of the night."

She sighed almost inaudibly: "It seems the plot of the second-floor cabin is all about Wu Huimin."

"..."

He Lingling gave her a complicated look and nodded: "Let's go."

He Lingling walked over to her side, "Let's go and see together."

Shi Yuan didn't say anything. She turned the doorknob and went out first, followed closely by He Lingling.

As she closed the door, He Lingling glanced casually at Sun Qin, who was fast asleep on the bed, and then closed the door a little quieter.

When the door was closed and the room fell completely silent, Sun Qin, who should have been fast asleep in bed, suddenly sat up, clutching her chest and panting heavily. She looked at the closed door with a complicated expression and pursed her lips.

"...No, no..."

Sun Qin slapped herself hard across the face, then curled up in a ball, clutching the blanket, and muttered to herself.

"Going with me wouldn't have made any difference, I really wouldn't have made any difference... That's why I didn't wake up..."

Sun Qin kept reassuring herself, "Absolutely, absolutely not afraid, not so afraid as to not dare to go..."

After a while, Sun Qin slapped herself hard again, then shrank back into bed and forced herself to sleep.

Yes, Sun Qin was awake too.

A few scattered players stared wide-eyed at Sun Qin's live stream, bewildered:

"So just now... all three people in the room were actually awake?"

However, He Lingling was unlucky; Wu Huimin grabbed her foot...

"It seems so."

Another person smacked their lips, "I really didn't see that coming. I didn't expect Sun Qin to be such a good actress. I really thought she was asleep..."

"It's probably because Wu Huimin didn't grab Sun Qin's foot. If she had, would she have been able to pretend like that?"

"That's true..."

"Wu Huimin looks just like a female ghost... Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, aren't ghosts and monsters the same thing?"

"...I think so..."

"..."

The conversations in the town did not affect the plot of the instance at all. After a brief moment of guilt, Sun Qin curled up in her blanket and forced herself to fall asleep.

Players watching this from outside the screen: "..."

I just said Sun Qin was a kind person, and now she's instantly abandoned all her burdens and gone straight to sleep... It's kind of ironic...

"..."

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

Second-floor cabin corridor.

He Lingling walked behind Shi Yuan. Looking at the dimly lit surroundings, she quickly moved to be level with Shi Yuan and whispered:

"Wu Huimin has most likely gone to the dance floor."

"..." Shi Yuan glanced at her and nodded: "Okay, then let's go to the dance floor."

"..."

He Lingling was momentarily speechless.

Based on her previous observations of Shi Yuan, he shouldn't be a person who doesn't like to talk...

But when she thought of someone who had already died, He Lingling's eyelids twitched slightly, and she sighed.

Oh well, people always change.
