Infinite: Dawn Game

The newcomer spoke in a casual tone, and although his voice was magnetic and elegant, it somehow carried a chilling and sinister undertone.

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

As the voice of the newcomer rang out, many players dressed in the same black cloaks entered the cocoon shop. This time, no player dared to speak.

Unlike Lu Chusheng, the players of the Black Robe Church are truly vengeful and do not value the lives of ordinary players. If you offend them, they may not make a move in the town shop, but in the game instance, you will definitely be retaliated against, or even completely slaughtered.

Lu Chusheng frowned slightly. He turned his head to look at the player from the monitoring team next to him. The latter shook his head, his tone containing a hint of disdain that was not easily detected:

"Brother Lu, it's Zhou Yuanyang."

Zhou Yuanyang.

One of the two bishops of the Black Robe Church, but only veteran players of the Inspection Team know that Zhou Yuanyang was a veteran player of the Inspection Team before becoming a bishop of the Black Robe Church.

However, after Zhou Yuanyang later defected from the inspection team, those members who had once admired and worshipped him changed their attitude.

They could understand if Zhou Yuanyang had betrayed other guilds, but he chose to join the vicious Black Robe Church, even going so far as to draw his sword against Lu Chusheng.

This was incomprehensible to all the players on the monitoring team.

Lu Chusheng's expression remained unchanged. He simply turned back indifferently to look at the cloaked figures who had already entered the cocoon shop, his gaze settling on the last tall man.

The newcomer walked with a steady gait. He casually lifted his hood, revealing a face half-burned and half-androgynous, a smile playing on his lips.

"It's been a long time, Captain Lu."

Lu Chusheng looked at him, and something seemed to flash across his cold eyes, but it quickly returned to calm:

"Zhou Yuanyang".

Lu Chusheng called his name, "What are you doing here?"

"It's been a long time since I've visited this pupae shop,"

Zhou Yuanyang yawned lazily, and a jet-black centipede slowly crawled out from under his cloak, stopping on his half-disfigured profile.

"Just checking to see if there are any promising talents I can mentor."

That being said, both of them actually understood each other's purpose.

—Recruit Yu Shijiu.

However, Lu Chusheng wanted to keep Yu Shijiu by his side and raise her properly in order to prevent her from going astray, while Zhou Yuanyang wanted to increase the power of the Black Robe Church.

Although both involve recruitment and seem to have similar objectives, their actual motivations are worlds apart.

For some reason, Lu Chusheng was somewhat worried that Yu Shijiu would choose Zhou Yuanyang.

Sometimes, Yu Shijiu does seem a bit crazy.

Lu Chusheng remained silent this time. He simply turned his head to look at the slightly ajar glass door and lowered his eyes, saying:

"I brought you a cake, a ten-inch one."

As he spoke, the player behind Lu Chusheng quickly stepped forward and handed the large cake he was carrying to Lu Chusheng.

Lu Chusheng took the cake, passed by Fang Zhi, whose face had turned pale since Zhou Yuanyang appeared, and placed the cake on the glass door of the cocoon.

"Want to come out and try some?"

Lu Chusheng remained aloof, but his voice was surprisingly gentle.

Zhou Yuanyang laughed. He stood up, his face both terrifying and beautiful, a perfect blend of angel and demon. He clapped his hands.

“Captain Lu has been getting stingier and stingier lately. How can he even bring out something like this, Zhao Xuan?”

A man in black robes stepped forward, respectfully placing his right hand diagonally across his left chest, and bowing slightly to Zhou Yuanyang.

"bishop."

"Take out your gift and let Captain Lu take a good look at it. Let's see what kind of gifts our new player likes."

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xuan took out a strip-shaped object wrapped in black cloth.

Fang Zhi's body trembled.

As someone who was close enough to the scene, he still remembers the moment when the player named Zhao Xuan chopped off the arm of the sharp-mouthed man without batting an eye.

It seems like all the blood splattered on him at that time.

Lu Chusheng didn't turn around. He gently tapped the glass cover, his voice low and somber:

"A variety of flavors, whatever you want to eat, we have it."

Zhou Yuanyang chuckled and was about to say something when the glass cover was suddenly opened from the inside. Before the person appeared, a huge, fat orange cat appeared.

The chubby orange cat meowed and shook its tightly packed fur. Amidst the flying cat hairs, Yu Shijiu sat up.

He grabbed the orange cat that had opened the cover, blinked, and met Lu Chusheng's gaze.

Yu Shijiu gave a sweet smile. "Captain Lu, would you believe me if I said I just fell asleep?"

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He was slightly taken aback by the boy's obedient smile for a few seconds, then nodded:

"I believe."

The two short words stunned Yu Shijiu, who had only said them casually, for a few seconds. He looked into Lu Chusheng's eyes and was about to speak when he saw out of the corner of his eye a person in a black robe walk up to him and extend a strip-shaped black object.

Judging from its shape, it looks a bit like ham or something similar.

The man in the black robe tore off the black cloth covering the object, revealing a man's arm that was frozen white. In the center of the palm of that arm, there was a flat, pierced wound.

Yu Shijiu knew exactly what this thing was.

His expression remained unchanged, but the curve of his eyebrows arched upwards in a strange way.

"what is this?"

The man in black robes named Zhao Xuan was not old, probably around twenty years old. His voice was very youthful, yet it carried a chilling, sinister quality.

"The player who offended you, I chopped off his hand and packaged it up."

The implication was that this was a "gift" he had specially prepared for Yu Shijiu.

Yu Shijiu seemed quite satisfied. He looked at the arm, whose skin and flesh were frozen white, and gestured for Zhao Xuan to take a step forward.

Zhao Xuan glanced back at Zhou Yuanyang behind him, and only after receiving a signal from the latter did he silently take another step forward.

But Zhao Xuan didn't see that Zhou Yuanyang's gaze lingered on Yu Shijiu for quite a while.

To be precise, it was that orange cat.

Zhou Yuanyang seemed to remember something, and he looked at Lu Chusheng, who was silent, his hands hanging down in his black robe tightening slightly.

How did Lai Bao end up in Yu Shijiu's arms?

According to his memory, this orange cat, which entered the Dawn Game with Lu Chusheng, was always inseparable from Lu Chusheng and was even very impatient with other players.

If you're not careful, getting caught is just a regular occurrence.

So how come it's so close to Yu Shijiu now?

Zhou Yuanyang was somewhat puzzled, with a persistent, negative feeling that today's efforts might be in vain.

As Zhao Xuan's severed limbs approached, before Yu Shijiu could do anything, the orange cat he was holding suddenly meowed, swiftly bit the severed arm, and threw it aside with a "bang."

"Meow! Meow meow meow!!!"

The cat's meows were incessant. The orange cat arched its back, revealing its sharp fangs, and glared at Zhao Xuan with hostility.
