Infinite: Dawn Game

This ambiguous statement piqued Xu Han's curiosity. He wanted to say something but felt it wasn't his place to speak, so he scratched his head in frustration.

Yu Shijiu didn't seem to mind at all; he even tilted his head with a grin and said:

"So what?"

The boy's face was as white as paper, and he was as thin as a rake, but he had a pair of round, amber almond-shaped eyes. His cute and innocent appearance was completely contrary to what he said.

"Anything I can't stand, anything that makes me uncomfortable, anything that tries to control or hurt me, I don't want to talk to them or say anything to them. Just kill them and everything will be fine."

Talent skills are derived from the player's own desires. He Lingling herself was blind before entering the Dawn game. As a born blind person, she suffered a lot of pity and ridicule, both overt and covert. She was even followed by some bad people with ill intentions because of her beautiful appearance.

Fortunately, no one has ever succeeded.

But she didn't want to be blind anymore.

So because she couldn't see, when she was run over by a speeding truck, she hated her blind eyes more than the pain of her limbs being crushed.

If only she could see, then she wouldn't be subjected to everyone's cautious pity and sympathy, nor would she be pointed at and called "little blind girl," "invisible good-for-nothing," and so on...

She was "resurrected" in the game Dawn.

Therefore, Yu Shijiu's innate skill, besides killing, can only be killing.

For the first time, He Lingling didn't know what to say. She just looked at Yu Shijiu, who casually uttered the word "kill," and it was as if she could see through him the little girl who was curled up in the darkness, hating herself for not being able to see.

"As long as you don't regret it," He Lingling's eyes began to blur. Using "Ghost Eye" too frequently was taking a toll on her body.

She said softly, "Your future isn't necessarily all bad."

The atmosphere around them was a bit awkward, and Xu Han ultimately didn't dare to say anything. He simply stepped forward and took Yu Shijiu's wrist.

A faint warmth emanated from her wrists. Yu Shijiu looked down and saw that Xu Han had almost completely healed the injuries on both of her wrists.

The price was that Xu Han looked a little tired. He rubbed his hair, coughed, and helped He Lingling away.

Judging from the situation, they seem to be preparing to clear customs and leave.

Yu Shijiu stood by the door, the words He Lingling had just said still echoing in his ears.

Why would he regret it? What did he regret? Did he regret killing his own father?

Oh, it seems like I'll still regret it. I should have made a few more cuts. Thinking about it now, I do feel a bit regretful.

When the aroma of instant noodles wafted to the door, Yu Shijiu immediately closed the door and happily ran towards the source of the fragrance.

-

In the corridor, He Lingling was starting to disappear from sight. She gritted her teeth, clutching her internship certificate, and was about to tell the system she had passed when Xu Han couldn't contain himself and said:

"Um, I'm a little curious, what exactly did you mean by that sentence you said?"

"..." He Lingling didn't hide anything, "Actually, it's nothing. I wanted to see how Yu Shijiu fared in the next dungeon, but what I saw seemed a bit off."

"What's wrong?" Xu Han asked, even more curious.

“I saw it,” He Lingling said, turning her head with her eyes closed, “that Yu Shijiu was shot in the head.”

Xu Han: "..."

Xu Han's eyes widened: "Holy crap?! Is this for real? So Yu Shijiu won't even survive to the third instance? That's impossible! How could this be?!"

He Lingling regretted it. Frowning in annoyance, she slapped Xu Han, "Shut up, just finish the level!"

She could hear the commotion of the long-tongued monsters in the ward.

"……Oh."

A few seconds later, the two figures in the corridor swayed and slowly disappeared under the watchful eyes of many players.

At the same time, sounds also rang out inside the game instance.

Congratulations to players He Lingling and Xu Han for completing the game "Aide Sanatorium"!

[Number of players remaining: 13]

Many players, still hiding in their rooms discussing how to survive the night, were speechless.

What does that mean? Why can they complete the game ahead of time?!

One player muttered, "Wait a minute, isn't it supposed to be that if one person clears the game, we can all clear it? Why are we still here..."

A more experienced player nearby sighed:

"It's a dungeon where all players can clear it without any mandatory requirements. This game instance requires us to stay here for three full days."

"..."

No one spoke.

They simply looked at each other and huddled together to discuss how to maximize the use of their few remaining items.

After much discussion, one of the male players rubbed his eyes hard and said in a low voice:

"If only that boy would go crazy again..."

"..."

The player next to him, who had also witnessed the carnage, felt a chill run down his spine and swallowed hard, saying:

"If he can go crazy again, then all we need to do is hide."

"..."

Drop drop-

The elevator doors beeped urgently, and as the red dot flashed rapidly, the dean, dressed in a neat white coat, appeared inside. He adjusted his glasses and stepped out of the elevator.

The fourth floor was very quiet, and apart from the low breathing sounds of some eerie creatures, it was cleaner than the three floors below.

There were no bloodstains or body parts left from last night's fight, only countless scarlet tongues still growing densely on the upper part of the ceiling, writhing chaotically in the direction of the dean's gaze.

"You guys are so good-looking!"

As the dean spoke, he reached out towards the wriggling red tongues, which obsequiously stretched downwards, only to be torn in half by the dean and stuffed into his mouth like a snack.

As he chewed, a heavy aura of resentment emanated from the dean, like a venomous snake spitting venom at the surroundings.

Strangely, instead of scattering and fleeing like the grotesque nurses, the tongues wriggled downwards one after another, trying to let the director eat them first.

The dean accepted all comers' tongues without hesitation, breaking off half of each one and stuffing it into his mouth, while carefully avoiding the splattering dark red blood.

"You're so obedient, that's the right thing to do..."

The dean smiled and tore off more tongues that were eagerly moving closer to him.

For a moment, the scene was both terrifying and bizarre.

As the camera shifted, many players felt a chill run down their spines and their scalps tingle upon seeing this scene.

The hospital director walked to ward 119 amidst the "enthusiasm" of the patients.

"Is this it?"

The tongue closest to the dean twitched slightly.

"Okay, you're very obedient."

After the dean soothed the tongue, he tore it off and threw it into his mouth. The remaining half of the tongue immediately and happily retracted into the ceiling.

Just as the dean was about to knock on the door, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from behind him.

What are you doing on the fourth floor?

It was Xue Yan's voice.
