Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 709 Enough

The tattered wallpaper, its lines twisted and contorted in the light, was left behind by the owner of the house whose footsteps echoed.

Ah Jin looked up at them with a hunched back, making muffled sounds in his throat as if something was blocking his vocal cords.

"Brother Ajin".

Yu Shijiu greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see! How have you been these past few days?"

Ah Jin stared at him with bloodshot eyes, without uttering a word.

Xu Han swallowed hard and gently nudged Yu Shijiu, "Shijiu, we don't have much time left..."

The implication was that they should hurry up and stop wasting time with Ah Jin... Although they would eventually have to face Ah Jin as the BOSS, Xu Han felt uneasy all over.

In the "Sheep Sacrifice" instance, strictly speaking, there are only ten players left... Including those few who are unlikely to die easily for the time being, there are only four ordinary players still alive.

No...maybe a few players are still alive...

Yu Shijiu was very obedient. After being persuaded by Xu Han and seeing Ah Jin's red eyes, he raised an eyebrow and turned around to continue walking uphill.

Xu Han, who had expected to have to explain further, was surprised: "!"

Good heavens! This is the first time Shi Jiu has been so obedient! Before, no matter what Chen Ge and He Lingling said, she wouldn't listen—could it be that I hold a higher place in Yu Shi Jiu's heart than they do?!

Xu Han was instantly delighted, and followed Yu Shijiu with a big smile.

Zhu Ge looked on in astonishment, then gazed at Xu Han with an expression of admiration and whispered a compliment:

"Yu Shijiu seems to listen to you a lot. He must consider you a good friend, right?"

This obviously flattering remark made Xu Han smile even more broadly.

"No, no..." Xu Han suppressed a laugh. The fear and panic he felt upon learning who the BOSS was had largely dissipated. He whispered:

"It must be because Shi Jiu likes me more, that's why she's only occasionally willing to listen to my advice..."

Brother Zhu: "You're too modest, you're too modest. I've watched Yu Shijiu's live streams for so long, and he's not the kind of person who's easily obedient..."

"Hehe," Xu Han's confidence swelled to a certain point, and he started to chuckle foolishly: "No way, no way, it's just a coincidence, just a coincidence..."

The two were speaking very softly. Although Yu Shijiu, who was walking in front, could hear some indistinct words, he did not know that they were talking about him.

"..." Lu Chusheng glanced silently at Xu Han, who was laughing foolishly, then squinted and quickly followed Yu Shijiu.

Why does Yu Shijiu listen to Xu Han so much? Is there something about Xu Han that Yu Shijiu particularly likes? Or is Xu Han very important to Yu Shijiu?

Or……

Various inexplicable guesses appeared and disappeared in Lu Chusheng's mind, making him grind his teeth in frustration.

As for Ah Jin, who was walking at the very back... he seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, and no one turned around to look at him.

Of course, Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng felt it was unnecessary—after all, A Jin couldn't possibly fight them here, as for Xu Han and Brother Zhu.

Well, they were just a little too shy to turn around and make eye contact with Ah Jin.

Are you kidding me? The BOSS is actually an ordinary crew NPC like Ah Jin! If someone said that in an old game dungeon, they would both think that person was out of their mind!

But it was Yu Shijiu who said this—and Xu Han actually thought it made a lot of sense.

What's wrong with that?

He felt something was off about Ah Jin from the moment it started raining—all the NPCs were just standing there, and Ah Jin was running around with the player all by himself! He should have guessed that Ah Jin was the BOSS right then and there!

Xu Han's mind was buzzing with all sorts of random thoughts, and they had already arrived at the third deck.

Yu Shijiu looked at the door in front of her, which was half-open just like last night, and pushed it open without hesitation.

creak.

After the door was pushed open, the sound of rain mixed with the miserable cries of humans reached Yu Shijiu's ears.

After seeing the scene on the deck, Yu Shijiu blinked slowly, his grip on the axe tightening.

On deck, the sheep-headed men (including guests and the rest of the crew) were dragging a male player with his throat slit to hang on a "rack"—the same kind of thing that had tied up Wu Huimin before.

The male player whose throat had been slit was clearly beyond saving. He was half-corrupted by the goats, with horns growing on his head and his pupils in a half-open, elongated shape. His wrists and ankles had been slashed open by the goat-headed people, from which thick, murky blood spread, staining the deck on his body red and forming red ravines and pools of blood.

Beside him hung upside down two male players with wide-open eyes, their faces unseeing in death.

The same wounds, the same empty, fearful eyes, and a corpse dripping blood from the wounds.

They were really unlucky.

Yu Shijiu sighed, licked his lips, and strode forward.

Seeing him speed up, Lu Chusheng behind him narrowed his eyes and quickly followed.

In a corner of the deck, Sun Qin was trembling after Shi Yuan, who had regained some strength, pulled her into the corner.

She was genuinely scared, but she was the one who had stood in front of He Lingling and Shi Yuan just now.

Shi Yuan found it amusing and was about to say something when he heard the door being suddenly pushed open.

Shi Yuan was startled and immediately stood up, pulling Sun Qin to his and He Lingling's side.

He Lingling was still bleeding and crying. All she could see was a murky blackness, and she couldn't see anything clearly. She could only listen to the sounds around her and be on guard.

"somebody is coming?"

He Lingling asked in a low voice, "Is it Shi Jiu and the others?"

Shi Yuan nodded weakly, then, remembering that He Lingling was blind, said:

"Yes."

"……That's good."

He Lingling's anxiety subsided slightly. She tried to suppress her fear of the darkness and calmly said:

"Let's try to be quiet. Things will be better once Shi Jiu and the others 'clean up' these goat-headed people."

Shi Yuan and Sun Qin: "..."

Sun Qin swallowed hard: "Really? I remember there's only one person who can fight, just one, right?"

"two."

He Lingling: "There's also a cat."

Sun Qin: "...?"

Shi Yuan chuckled, a smile spreading across his pale face: "That cat is quite formidable too."

"Ah."

He Lingling's hands, hidden under the blanket, clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her flesh before loosening again.

"One person and one cat are enough."

As long as the rest of them don't drag the team down, it'll be fine.

Sun Qin was very obedient, and even her breathing became much softer, for fear of being targeted by those sheep-headed people and becoming a burden.

Over here, the goat-headed men who were busy hanging up the half-dead male player finally noticed that someone was coming towards them. One by one, they slowly tilted their heads and looked at the boy dragging an axe towards them.
