Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 698 Bewitching

Scarlet, viscous...blood.

Thinking about how Wu Huimin had been hung upside down and bled like an animal while she was alive... Sun Qin still felt some sympathy for Wu Huimin.

But sympathy is one thing, but when it comes to one's own life, one can no longer continue to "sympathize".

Sun Qin continued with a forced chuckle: "Yes, yes."

As the two talked, Sun Qin remained standing in the room, and Wu Huimin seemed to have no intention of entering the room either, standing at the door, smiling broadly as she "chatted" with Sun Qin.

"Brother Yao asked me to come find you to play the piano."

Wu Huimin suddenly said, "Qinqin, come with me quickly, Brother Yao seems to be in a bad mood today."

"..."

Sun Qin was startled at first, then hesitated for a moment before turning back to look at He Lingling and Shi Yuan lying on the bed, and said tentatively:

"It's usually not at night—"

"It's needed during the day too."

Wu Huimin leaned forward, her pale lips parting slightly, revealing glimpses of her sharp teeth.

"If the customer says they want us to listen, then we have to work."

Wu Huimin said, "What if the guests get angry? Will we still be able to get paid?"

“…” Sun Qin’s mind went blank for a moment, and she nodded subconsciously: “…Yes, yes, the needs of the guests are more important…”

Wu Huimin's worried expression turned into joy: "Yes, yes! Qinqin, come out quickly. It's okay to be a little late. I'll go talk to Brother Yao for you. He's very kind to the waitress who can play the piano. He definitely won't fine you..."

Wu Huimin's voice grew louder and louder, assaulting Sun Qin's brain through her eardrums. She frowned slightly in discomfort and obediently made to walk towards the door—

"Cough cough cough-"

A coughing sound, as if someone were coughing up their lungs, came from the room behind her, pulling Sun Qin back from a strange "submissive atmosphere."

"!"

Sun Qin took a step back in alarm, pulling back the foot that had just stepped out of the doorway.

Outside the door, Wu Huimin, who had been all smiles, suddenly changed her expression. Her delicate, fair face, which had been smiling, quickly became distorted, and dark brown lividity began to appear. The stench of a rotting corpse wafted in along with the fishy smell that wafted through the corridor.

"……Well."

Sun Qin covered her mouth and nose from the stench and looked up in astonishment at Wu Huimin outside the door.

It was at this moment that, as if a layer of fog covering her eyes had been completely lifted—Sun Qin finally realized that something was wrong.

The corridor... There were windows in the corridor, but at this moment, the corridor was filled with a gloomy and deathly silence that made one's chest feel suffocated, and mottled mold and rust, like festering wounds, constantly oozing rusty tear stains that meandered toward the ground.

The sunlight outside the window couldn't penetrate an inch of the corridor at all.

Realizing this, Sun Qin gasped in shock—the air in the corridor was filled with a salty, fishy smell mixed with the stench of decaying rust, which she inhaled and felt so nauseous that she bent over and dry heaved.

"Qinqin..."

Wu Huimin's face suddenly contorted into a grimace as she stood in the corridor through the door frame, calling out Sun Qin's name, each call louder than the last.

"Why...why...why won't you come out?! Don't you want to play the piano anymore?! Aren't you afraid of being kicked off the ship?!"

Wu Huimin roared fiercely, her hoarse voice sounding like a sticky "squeak" coming from her throat, which was infected with water mold, as if there were worms wriggling in her throat.

Sun Qin: "..."

Sun Qin tried to run away as fast as she could, but her legs gave way and she fell to the floor.

Just a little bit... so close!

She almost got tricked into going out just now!

Sun Qin's pupils contracted involuntarily with fear. She gagged and peered through the frantic Wu Huimin towards the side of the corridor—

Similar to what she had just seen, the windows around the dilapidated and filthy corridor were still shrouded in a thick, inky darkness, accompanied by the rumble of thunder and the sound of rain pouring down...

Sun Qin was trembling all over.

She stared in disbelief at the "alternate space" that was completely different from the room, both stunned and somewhat panicked.

How could this be...? Why does time flow differently in the hallway and the room?!

Wu Huimin was still crying. Her bluish-purple skin was covered with strands of wool soaked by the rain, which clung to her skin, making her look somewhat eerie and pitiful.

"Qinqin," Wu Huimin continued, still trying to seduce Sun Qin, and began to sob, "My hands can't play the piano anymore, my hands are ruined... Please help me... Please help me..."

Sun Qin gritted her teeth and ignored her voice. After her weak legs felt a little better, she supported herself and crawled towards the door.

Outside the door, Wu Huimin watched Sun Qin struggling to crawl towards the door from inside the room, a sinister smile gradually spreading across her tearful face—

Wu Huimin's smile froze.

Sun Qin struggled to climb to the door and reached out to touch the edge of the door. She gritted her teeth and pushed hard!

boom!

The moment the door was closed, Sun Qin, with a burst of strength she didn't know she had, jumped up and quickly tried to lock the door from the inside—but it didn't lock properly; the lock seemed to be broken.

"Gan!"

Even knowing that Wu Huimin seemed unable to enter the room, the fact that the door couldn't be locked still made Sun Qin's heart race and her body break out in a cold sweat.

too frightening.

For a fleeting moment, Sun Qin "saw" what would happen to her after she was "tricked" out.

They were used as food reserves by Wu Huimin and "ate" until their bodies were completely destroyed.

Sun Qin's legs began to feel weak again from her own speculation—she felt like a boneless chicken claw that had been bitten off and spat out by an old lady.

They're all quite soft.

I got really scared.

"Oh my god..."

Sun Qin slowly stood up and dragged a cabinet to block the half-closed door. She was terrified throughout the whole process—she was afraid that Wu Huimin would suddenly stick her head in and attack her face.

Sun Qin knew her own limitations; she was likely to be frightened by the constantly protruding face... but she probably wouldn't faint.

She sighed, looked at the blocked door and thought for a long time. Then, very solemnly, she ran into the bathroom, filled a large basin with cold water, and placed it on the cabinet to increase the weight.

Although its effect was so slight as to be almost negligible, Sun Qin still felt a little reassured.

"Ugh……"

Sun Qin walked towards the bed with shaky legs, then paused, remembering that He Lingling's cough had reminded her.

Wait, could He Lingling not have fallen asleep at all?

Pretending to be asleep?!

Excessive!

Sun Qin was furious and ran to He Lingling's side, lowering her head to expose her. Even though He Lingling was asleep, she still had her brows tightly furrowed, and the deep furrow between her brows was something that a girl her age should not have.

"..."

Sun Qin's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

After a while, Sun Qin let out another long sigh in the room.
