Infinite: Dawn Game

Xiao Li was clearly taken aback. It looked down at the strange nurses and Xue Yan who had surrounded Yu Shijiu. The data within its body kept changing and reorganizing, and finally it snorted:

[Let's gamble. If you survive, I'll give you an extra 500 points on top of the game's reward points.]

Unfortunately, it's impossible for him to survive.

"500 points?"

Yu Shijiu clicked his tongue and rolled over to avoid another attack from the giant tongue, but inevitably a few drops of saliva dripped onto his arm.

hiss--

The arm that had been spit into felt a sharp pain; the giant tongue's saliva was even corrosive.

No wonder people say that human words are the sharpest knife and the most poisonous medicine.

Yu Shijiu now understands.

—No wonder, that bastard Liang Guodong didn't care how others looked at him, so he didn't kill him but just sent him to a mental hospital.

Seeing the several holes corroded on Yu Shijiu's arm, Xiao Li was clearly more confident:

500 is still not enough? Then how much do you want?

Yu Shijiu replied without hesitation, "At least bet five, seven, eight thousand points, right? Otherwise, how stingy would that be? Are you a stingy system?"

The girl's voice stopped abruptly, and a few seconds later, Xiao Li's exasperated voice responded with a cold laugh:

"Fine, fine, eight thousand it is! I'll see if you can survive!"

"I mean what I say. The money must be in my account as soon as I leave the sanatorium. I don't accept delayed payments on bets."

Xiao Li was so angry she laughed; her usually sweet childlike voice turned shrill.

I would never lie! If I said I'd give it to you, I meant it! I absolutely won't go back on my word! Going back on your word is for little dogs!

"That's good," Yu Shijiu dodged the tongue of another strange nurse at an incredible angle, and with a forceful slash of the fruit knife at the tip of his left hand, another strange nurse was taken away by him.

The boy wiped the blood from his eyes and said with a smile:

"It's a deal."

This scene shocked even more players in front of their screens.

"Can you still fool the system?"

Xu Han, who had already woken up, sat on the sofa in the living room, staring dumbfounded at Yu Shijiu on the TV screen, who was killing monsters while coaxing the system.

Anjie, standing next to me, was making juice. She slowly sucked on a slice of orange, raised an eyebrow, and looked at the big screen.

"This is the only time we'll learn it; there's no way we'll be able to learn it this time."

"Why?" Xu Han asked, puzzled. He reached for a slice of orange, popped it into his mouth, and mumbled indistinctly:

"If it works, we can give it a try, it's not like we'd lose anything..."

He was completely oblivious to the way Anjie looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Chen Yi, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but laugh out loud. He explained with a cheerful smile:

"This kind of loophole is terrible if it happens even once. Do you think Dawn Games will let players exploit it a second time?"

The answer is of course impossible.

The reason Yu Shijiu's system agreed was because, after weighing all factors, it believed that Yu Shijiu was doomed, and it was just a matter of empty talk.

But will Yu Shijiu really die?

That's not necessarily true.

Chen Yi looked at the boy on the screen, who had dodged and killed all the strange nurses and doctors but had also suffered many injuries. His small, fleshy eyes were filled with complex emotions.

That's incredible... Even if he were a madman, it's still amazing that he could do that...

------

In the corridor, Yu Shijiu, having dealt with the last annoying monster, lay half-reclined among the corpses, dodging another attack from the giant tongue. He was completely exhausted.

Xue Yan was clearly nearing her limit. Her already pale face began to rot, and crimson blood dripped down. The gossip around her continued to pierce her heart like knives.

The more pain the heart feels, the faster the giant tongue generated by the heart grows, which looks quite impressive.

But that's not necessarily true in reality.

For example, Xuexue, who is still crying and trying to escape the tongue cage.

Yu Shijiu glanced at Xuexue, who was crying inside the tongue cage. His remaining rationality was dwindling after making the bet with Xiao Li.

“I really don’t want to do this,” Yu Shijiu said, standing up and quickly approaching the tongue cage where Xuexue was hanging as she dodged the giant tongue’s attack.

"But I always feel that if Xuexue is left alone in the sanatorium, wouldn't she be too heartbroken..."

As he spoke, the fire axe, stained with the blood of countless monsters, slashed fiercely at the tongue cage in mid-air.

Seeing this, Xue Yan's eyes widened in fury. The giant tongue that was originally aimed at Yu Shijiu's back and heart abruptly changed direction and coiled around the tongue cage in mid-air.

Xuexue, trapped in the cage, even forgot to cry out. She stared at the fire axe coming at her, her eyes flashing with disappointment and disbelief, before finally settling on sadness.

The moment the giant tongue enveloped the tongue cage, the fire axe spun in Yu Shijiu's hand like a piece of paper. Yu Shijiu's blood-soaked long hair flew wildly, dripping blood. With a cold smile, he rushed towards Xue Yan, who was completely unprepared at the moment.

"I'm sorry," Yu Shijiu's voice rang out, and Xue Yan finally realized what was happening.

But it was too late.

As the giant tongue was severed at the root by the fire axe, both Xue Yan and the giant tongue let out a miserable scream.

Suffering is inevitable when the power generated by resentment is taken away.

Blood trickled down the severed connection between Xue Yan and the giant tongue. The former collapsed to the ground, losing its support, while the latter writhed like a mass of resentment, its sharp teeth at the tip of its tongue making a "clattering" sound as it tried to turn and bite the culprit.

But to no avail.

The giant tongue began to rot, its countless mocking and gossiping pronouncements echoing through the corridor before finally disappearing, leaving only a long, decaying corpse of a tongue infested with maggots.

Deprived of her power, Xue Yan collapsed to the ground, and the tongue cage under her control began to disappear, revealing Xue Xue, who was no longer crying out.

The corridor became quiet.

A moment later, the fire axe in Yu Shijiu's hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

The killings were so numerous that even fire axes broke.

At the same time, Xuexue also realized what was happening. She looked at Yu Shijiu and then ran towards Xue Yan, who was unable to move.

"Mommy!!! Mommy, Mommy!!! Mommy, what's wrong?"

Stamina is about to run out, and the effect of "Kill" is about to disappear.

Yu Shijiu limped behind Xuexue, his arms broken in the fight and hanging limply at his sides. Visible blood dripped down his fingers, falling onto the countless pieces of corpse.

But he just stared at the top of Xuexue's head without saying a word.

Xuexue didn't turn around; she simply rested her head on Xue Yan's chest, where her heart had already been lost, and silently shed tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Mom..."

Xuexue's sobbing voice echoed in the corridor. She screamed, blamed herself, and cried as she recounted how she was a burden.

"She's gone."

Yu Shijiu said.

Xue Yan is dead. The moment her giant tongue was severed, she was completely annihilated.
