Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 714 Overthrow

"Hehe... Meow..."

The man's face, which had been mangled and bloodied from being bitten, was now covered in blood-stained wool, which clumped together and emitted a strong stench of blood, causing him to back away in fright.

Zhu Ge, annoyed at being bumped into by the male player again, turned around and said, "You fucking want to get beaten up, don't you—"

Upon seeing the eerily "resurrected" dead player, Zhu Ge was so frightened that he lost his voice and started running away.

The male player's legs were already weak. As he watched the dead player getting closer and closer to him, he struggled to retreat and fell to the ground with a thud.

"No...no no...no no no..." The male player turned around and looked at the dead player who was staring at his gaping mouth, screaming in terror.

"No, no, no... It wasn't me! I didn't kill you! I didn't kill you..."

The player who died opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and a gurgling sound of blood flowing backwards came from his throat.

"Why...why didn't you save me...why...why didn't you...save...me..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

As the dead player's mouth widened, the male player's mental defenses completely collapsed. He could only scream, close his eyes, and wait for his head to be bitten off.

"Damn idiot!"

Suddenly, a strong force grabbed the male player's arm and dragged him backward several times, narrowly avoiding the bite of the dead player.

"Don't you know how to run?! You're a grown man!"

Zhu Ge was so angry that his face turned red, and his eyes were bloodshot with fear.

"Just hang in there a little longer! If you just hang in there, you'll beat the game, you know?!"

"I've never seen a coward like you! A coward whose legs go weak at the slightest scare!!!"

"..."

The male player who was being scolded stared blankly at the dead player who was now some distance away and whose expression was growing increasingly furious because he hadn't managed to bite him. Tears streamed down his face.

"Thank...thank you...thank you..."

Brother Zhu spat, "If you want to thank me, then get the hell up! How long can I keep you waiting—"

"Brother Zhu!"

From behind Zhu Ge came Xu Han's urgent shout: "You—run!!!"

Xu Han's roar made Zhu Ge's back stiffen. He quickly looked up and saw behind the dead player... three "familiar" figures suddenly got up behind him.

Those two unlucky "sacrifice players" who were chosen first... they, no, they, have also been resurrected...

"Fuck...he...fucked...fucked..."

A series of terrified curses roared from Zhu Ge's mouth. He instantly released the male player's arm and ran faster than a rabbit.

This time, the male player, who had been terrified, finally regained his strength and ran away crying and screaming.

In the corner, Xu Han wiped the cold sweat from his face and, with trembling hands, returned to the trio of He Lingling, who were all looking "peaceful and serene," and squatted down beside them.

"I...are we...are we safe here?"

Xu Han wiped away sweat as he spoke.

After listening to the cries for help, pleas for mercy, fighting, screams and other noises for a while, He Lingling's expression was complicated. She closed her eyes, which were dry and uncomfortable, but it was more than ten times better than the pain that felt like being pricked by needles and cut by knives.

"should."

He Lingling closed her eyes and recalled the events she had experienced again, as if she were tearing them apart, her brows furrowed tightly.

No... no, it's not that the plot is wrong, but that the events it went through have almost nothing to do with what's happening now.

Based on He Lingling's understanding of sacrifices, she did not believe that the guests would use "humans" to ask the so-called "sea god" for help from the very beginning.

They are, after all, educated people with privileged lives, and should naturally disdain such feudal superstitions.

However, judging from the memories and the events that followed their arrival, the sacrifice was indeed effective.

The rain has indeed stopped.

He Lingling felt that the name of the dungeon was deconstructible. She pursed her lips and slowly spoke in the darkness.

"What if the animal sacrificed at the beginning was indeed a 'goat'?"

"The guests really wanted to leave alive, but they were absolutely unwilling to kill people indiscriminately at first, after all, the crew members on the second deck were all people they had carefully selected to please them."

After the word "thing" was uttered, all four of them fell silent.

Xu Han scratched his head awkwardly, feeling a bit out of place—he was the only one of the three men present who wasn't a "thing".

A bit scary.

Xu Han has always felt that being a girl requires courage. No matter where you are, it seems that girls bear the neglect and other unpleasant things they experience.

"You believe that the 'goat' was the first to be sacrificed."

Shi Yuan asked, "So you mean the waiters only started moving after all the 'goats' in the lower deck were dead?"

"There is a more than 90% probability."

He Lingling nodded: "I now suspect that Ah Jin carries not only the fears and expectations of the crew and waiters... but also those 'goats.'"

"..."

Sun Qin looked up in astonishment: "This, isn't this a bit far-fetched, fantastical?! Goats, they're animals!"

Xu Han's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He had thought of something, and his face gradually turned pale.

What's wrong with the animals?

He Lingling remained calm: "I know many people believe that humans are a superior being to any other species, but don't forget, this is just what humans think."

“Think about it carefully,” He Lingling said. “If we really threw unarmed humans into the primeval forest to fight wild beasts and giant snakes head-on, who would still dare to say that humans are superior to all other species?”

"..."

Sun Qin's face turned deathly pale: "Then, then you mean..."

"Escape, survival."

He Lingling: "The crew and guests wanted to use the sacrificial ceremony to leave the ship, but the 'goats' that were slaughtered might not."

“They can’t leave even if they want to,” Xu Han sighed. “Their corpses end up in the stomachs of the guests and crew.”

The moment those words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

He Lingling praised Xu Han for the first time: "Very good, you've finally grown up."

"……etc."

Xu Han, who was being praised, only felt a chill run down her spine.

He almost immediately thought of the bowl of mutton soup that Angkor had arranged for him to drink on the first night, and his face turned deathly pale, all the color draining away.

"So...so we all drank mutton soup..."

"Ah."

He Lingling nodded expressionlessly: "So we all unconsciously began to become strange in the subsequent plot."

“…Oh my god.”

Xu Han trembled and hugged herself tightly, unable to believe it:

"At first I thought it was because the wool had drifted into my nostrils or because I was unlucky enough to be targeted by a monster!"

"IM about the same."

He Lingling was quite unconcerned that her guess was overturned (although it was also herself who was overturned), and said seriously:

"Now the most important question is, what will happen to us if we can't solve Ajin's problem before dawn?"
