Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 439, 4th Floor?

"Shi Jiu?"

"Meow meow meow!"

Chen Yi's concerned voice and Fei Fei's anxious cries made Yu Shijiu slowly open his eyes, just in time to see the brains of the screaming players not far away slowly wriggling and retreating from the back of their heads.

After the illusion ended, the elevator was filled with the exhausted panting of all the players.

The brain flowers quietly left the players' brains and merged back into the brain flower walls around the elevator.

"..."

Yu Shijiu's head still hurt a little. He rubbed his hair and looked down at Feifei.

Fatty, who was pressed against the thigh, raised its head and meowed softly several times.

Waaaaah, you're all finally awake, meow! The elevator was so scary, meow! I was all alone here, meow pfft! I was so scared, meow...

That statement is, of course, false.

Fatty wasn't afraid.

But that didn't stop it from shamelessly rubbing against Yu Shijiu's waist and acting cute.

"Okay, okay," Yu Shijiu was very receptive to this, quickly bending down to hug the chubby, soft cat's head and rubbing it several times, comforting it:

"Is Feifei scared? Don't be scared, don't be scared! I'll always be with Feifei!"

Fatty: "Meow!!"

I love you the most, meow!!

Chen Yi, who was completely ignored, was speechless.

He smiled helplessly, but still had to interrupt the affectionate master and pet couple, reminding them:

"Shi Jiu, the elevator is about to open."

Yu Shijiu paused in rubbing the chubby head.

He looked up and saw that the elevator buttons, which had been covered by murky, bloodshot eyes, were gradually returning to normal, and the blurry, blood-red numbers above were gradually becoming clear.

—It's the 4th floor.

Drop drop-

The elevator emitted a warning sound that the doors were about to open. At the same time, the players who were sure that their hands and feet were still intact and had finally calmed down looked up at the elevator doors.

As the beeping sound continued, the elevator doors slowly opened.

All the players gathered together as if facing a formidable enemy, clutching their items and staring intently at the opening elevator doors.

Yu Shijiu also thought of something and bit the soft flesh on her cheek.

The blood-stained axe reappeared in his hand.

Feifei stopped acting cute and stood warily beside Feifei, watching the elevator doors open.

Chen Yi, however, always felt that something was missing in the elevator.

He quickly scanned all the players and corners in the elevator, and the strange sense of lack in his heart grew stronger.

Wait... something seems to be missing—

drop!

The elevator doors opened completely.

At the same time, the laughter, cries, and murmurs of countless eerie NPCs reached the ears of all players, causing their eardrums to vibrate and their pupils to dilate.

Contrary to their expectations, the corridor outside the door was not empty, but rather teeming with grotesque human-pig monsters—these monsters, which had been roaming the fourth, third, and second floors, were now chewing on blood-stained cat fur with their gums, their hollow eye sockets all facing into the elevator.

"...I'm back..."

"...You can't escape...you can't escape...you'll never escape..."

"Come back...come back and be with us...wouldn't it be better to come back and stay with us forever?"

"...Why are you running? Don't run..."

"..."

The voices of countless men and women mingled together, creating a strange, distorted, and terrifying sound.

Not to mention the blood and animal hair constantly gushing from the mouths of these human-pig-like monsters...

This scene could cause new players entering a game instance for the first time to completely collapse and faint.

Yu Shijiu wiped the blood from his face and suddenly laughed:

"Brother Chen."

He grinned as he raised his axe, watching the grotesque creatures gathered around the elevator, ready to pounce and break in.

"Do you think they're allowed to get into the elevator?"

"...They probably can't get in."

If they could get in, these monsters wouldn't have stared at them for so long and only made some insignificant verbal threats.

At that moment, Chen Yi stopped thinking about anything else.

He frowned as he stared at the densely packed, human-pig-like ghosts and monsters lying in the corridor, veins bulging on his forehead.

"But we need to go out."

Although the elevator doesn't seem to be closing yet, it's impossible for them to stay inside indefinitely.

This is impossible.

not to mention……

Chen Yi looked at the white cat and black cat he had placed in the corner before entering the illusion... and slowly, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"pet".

They also had to hold their "pets," which were clearly not good Korean stuff, in their arms.

In the corner, Chen Yi's white cat and He Lingling's black cat simultaneously raised their heads, their round pupils staring straight at Chen Yi and Yu Shijiu, and ran over while meowing.

The former was directly picked up by Chen Yi after bending down, while the latter was held by the back of the neck by Yu Shijiu and placed on the chubby head.

After learning what was sewn into these "pets," Yu Shijiu decided that she didn't want to hold them for the time being.

No matter how cute she looks, it won't work.

Fatty shook the black cat on its head a few times, looking a little annoyed, and meowed several times.

Just as Chen Yi and Yu Shijiu and the three cats were about to step out of the elevator, several people suddenly shouted from behind.

"Wait! Are you guys out of your minds?!"

"Yes, look at this! Look at all these monsters outside! If you go out, you're doomed! You can't go out! You absolutely can't go out!"

"..."

Yu Shijiu ignored their nonsense, grabbed the axe, and led Feifei straight out of the elevator.

Then, the scene of axe blades, blood shadows, and blood spikes appearing in a blur that required heavy censorship was repeated.

Chen Yi walked behind, and when he looked back at the players who still wanted to stay in the elevator, the fat on his cheeks lifted up briefly.

"As fellow human beings, I feel I can remind you one last time."

Chen Yi pointed to the elevator buttons next to him, which were still surrounded by eyeballs, and said, "Starting just now, the numbers on the screen began to show a countdown."

“Now…” Chen Yi glanced at the countdown on the screen above the button and squinted.

"She's turned 18."

After saying that, Chen Yi didn't linger any longer. Holding the white cat, he followed closely behind Yu Shijiu as they fought their way through the bloody path.

"..."

"You must be kidding me, how could that be?"

"What countdown? How could an elevator have that?"

"I think he's just lying to us—"

"No, it's not."

Not all the players were fools; those who didn't speak up carefully examined the elevator buttons several times and finally came to a surprising conclusion.

It really is a countdown!

"No! I want to get out! I absolutely have to get out!"

"What's wrong with you? You're dead if you go outside!"

"Aaaaaah, let me go! I need to get out—"

When the blood-red countdown reached its fifth second, a loud cracking sound came from inside the elevator as the steel cable snapped.
