Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 596 Association

Xu Han, unable to hear anything, was getting anxious and frustrated. Just as he couldn't help but take a step forward—

"By the way, what were you guys talking about just now? What did you mean by 'I'm the scariest'?"

Suddenly, Angkor, who was no longer in a hurry to leave, asked a question.

Xu Han, who had just approached: "..."

He silently withdrew the foot he had just taken a step forward, lowered his head, and carried the two buckets of goat milk toward the iron gate.

Wait, how did we suddenly go from petting cats to talking about this? Is this appropriate? Is this a really bad leap in our conversation?!

No one could know the extent of Xu Han's inner turmoil. At this moment, Yu Shijiu looked at the round, flesh-colored bump slowly swelling on Wu Ge's forehead and felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

The shape of this round bag inevitably reminded him of the eyes that had appeared on Angkor Wat's face last night—

puff!

When the flesh-colored round sac suddenly burst open and blood splattered out, Yu Shijiu's breath hitched.

There was no other reason; it was simply that blood had splashed onto his face.

As the thick, sweet smell of blood filled the air, Yu Shijiu unsurprisingly saw a familiar eye emerge from the flesh-colored bump on Wu Ge's face.

The goats were deep and listless, as if they were staring at his vertical pupils at any moment.

"..."

"No."

As her thoughts churned, Yu Shijiu lowered her eyes slightly and whispered:

"It's just a casual chat... After all, Brother Wu, you beat up Brother Jin this morning..."

The eye on Angkor's forehead blinked slowly, and as blood trickled down his cheek, Angkor himself seemed oblivious, and asked again:

"Just because I hit Akin?"

"correct."

Yu Shijiu nodded seriously: "I'm afraid of pain. When I saw Brother Wu kicking Brother Jin, I felt a little bit scared."

"..."

Wu Ge stared intently at the boy in front of him, hoping to see something amiss on his face... but even after his three eyes had become a little sore from looking at his face, he still couldn't see anything.

Yu Shijiu kept her expression unchanged, looking at Brother Wu somewhat embarrassed... while also secretly pushing away Brother Wu's hand that was on Feifei's body.

Lu Chusheng, noticing the two hands moving on his body: "..."

He glanced at Yu Shijiu, who seemed completely honest and genuinely just a little scared, and then helplessly lowered his head to lick his furry arm.

Hmm...so cute.

The goat's eye on Angkor's forehead also began to slowly disappear, and apart from some blood still flowing out on both sides of his cheeks, there was nothing unusual to be seen.

"You guys go up first."

Angkor stood up, patted the wrinkles in the fabric at his knees, and before leaving, added a final reminder:

"It's best if you don't lift your face."

Lu Chusheng subconsciously looked in the direction Wu Ge had left.

"?"

Yu Shijiu touched her face, puzzled, and looked at Xu Han: "What's wrong with my face?"

Xu Han, upon hearing Angkor's last words, was speechless.

Xu Han considered his words carefully, and said with a mixture of hesitation and shock:

"Could it be that you're too young, Shi Jiu, and the guests on the second floor are afraid they'll think you're a child laborer?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu suddenly realized: "It seems that I still need to eat more to grow taller and fatter after I go out."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

Anjie and the other players watching from outside the screen: "..."

If He Lingling were here, she'd roll her eyes several times and sigh, "There really are more idiots in the world..."

Lu Chusheng, who had only a vague idea of ​​what was going on, hesitated before finally managing to make a "meow meow" sound.

"..."

Lu Chusheng remembered that Yu Shijiu should have a language converter, so why hadn't he ever seen Yu Shijiu use it?

Completely unaware of what Lu Chusheng was thinking, Yu Shijiu lowered her head, patted the dust and rust off her clothes, and picked up the two buckets of goat milk.

"Let's not waste any more time. So what if they say I'm a child laborer? I'm not a real child laborer. I've been an adult for several months now..."

Xu Han pouted, suppressing a laugh, and followed him up the stairs:

"Yes, yes, Shi Jiu is an adult now."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu raised his chin and said, "I just need to eat more good food to grow taller."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll have Brother Chen cook you lots of good food when we get out!"

"I've heard that having more calcium in your bones can help you grow taller?"

"Then let Brother Chen get you some big bones to cook."

"I want to drink some delicious mutton soup."

"Okay, okay, after we get out, I'll ask Brother Chen to buy some fresh mutton to make mutton soup... Um, I'll pay for it, I'll use my points to buy the mutton!"

Xu Han finally realized that his series of responses had been a bit too generous with other people's money, and quietly added a sentence.

"?"

Yu Shijiu turned around and glanced at him, then said with a grin, "Actually, I can also contribute points."

Eating and drinking for free every day, Brother Chen still had to work in the kitchen for half the day... After a few months, Yu Shijiu, who initially didn't think much of it, started to feel a little embarrassed.

None of his own blood relatives had ever treated him this well...except for his mother.

Thinking of her mother's suicide, Yu Shijiu's smile faded almost imperceptibly.

But considering that Dawn Game seems to absorb the dead into the game... Yu Shijiu's heart started pounding.

Yeah...yes...yes!

Why didn't he think of that at first?!

Since most of the players recruited by Dawn Game are people who have died in real life... is it possible that Mom also entered Dawn Game after she died?

Thinking of this, Yu Shijiu's breathing became rapid, and even her eyes felt slightly sore.

"Shi Jiu?"

Xu Han, who had walked halfway and could already see a corner of the second-floor cabin door, was puzzled when Yu Shijiu suddenly stopped.

"Why did you suddenly stop leaving?"

"……nothing."

Although she had some thoughts in mind, Yu Shijiu knew that now was not the time to talk about these things.

He composed himself, and under Xu Han's puzzled gaze, forcefully lifted the two buckets of goat milk up and down, quickly saying:

"I'll go up and knock on the door first."

Xu Han, completely bewildered, stared at the screen: "???"

No, what is this?

Despite his thoughts, Xu Han still huffed and puffed as he followed after them, carrying the goat milk.

Yu Shijiu had already reached the door of the second-floor cabin and knocked on the door without hesitation.

dong dong dong-

The knocking echoed in the small, cramped space, carrying a faint, chilling resonance.

At the same time, Xiao Li, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly reappeared online.

【what's on your mind? 】

Yu Shijiu wasn't startled by the girl's voice that suddenly rang in his mind. He calmly replied, "I was wondering if my mother would also be absorbed into the Dawn Game after she died."

"...You really have a wild imagination."

Xiao Li sighed humanely: "Putting aside the fact that not everyone is lucky enough to be absorbed into the Dawn Game after death, even if your mother were absorbed, there are thousands upon thousands of towns in the branches of the Dawn Game... Do you really think your mother could be in the same town as you?"

"..."
