Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 828 SOS Song

"He Lingling! That's enough!"

Xu Han felt as if his entire past had been exposed, and he stood up angrily, shouting, "You've gone too far—what the hell?! What is this?!"

Xu Han's horrified roar instantly shattered the cheerful silence on the pond. Yu Shijiu's smile vanished instantly, and he looked at Xu Han seriously, "Brother Han?"

Xu Han's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at the water's surface and said:

"So many! So many fish! So many fish!"

He Lingling and Yu Shijiu stood up at the same time. The former's eyes narrowed. "Fish?"

Yu Shijiu quickly walked to the edge of the lotus flower and looked down at the colorful fish swimming below the water, extremely excited.

"Fish? That's great! So, will lots of fish come to help us escape the wedding?"

He Lingling thought about it more deeply and hesitated, saying, "...That might not be so certain."

Xu Han also exclaimed, "My God! These fish's eyes look a bit strange. Hmm, why do I feel like their eyes look a bit like human eyes?"

"Could they speak human language?"

Yu Shijiu thought of the original story and said with great interest:

"It makes sense that fish that can talk have the same eyes as humans, right?"

Xu Han stared at the dense schools of fish below the water's surface, then glanced at Fang Youhua and the others who had also stood up and were looking down at the water not far away, and whispered in agreement.

"Yes, yes, I think what you said, Shi Jiu, makes perfect sense."

"..." He Lingling was clearly thinking more deeply. She hesitated for a few seconds and said tentatively, "Actually, there is another possibility."

Yu Shijiu and Xu Han looked at her at the same time, "Anything else?"

He Lingling nodded: "Yes... that's right, they have eyes just like humans, which may be because they ate human flesh."

"..."

Yu Shijiu and Xu Han remained silent for a long while.

Yu Shijiu said with some emotion, "Sister Lingling, you really have a very rich imagination."

Xu Han's lips twitched with fear: "Don't make it sound so scary! Where in the original Thumbelina story is there any mention of piranhas?"

"We were already forced to elope, and if piranhas come after us, how are we supposed to survive?"

"Brother Han," Yu Shijiu said with some disagreement, "I think Sister Lingling makes a lot of sense."

Xu Han: "...Makes sense? Then aren't we caught between a rock and a hard place?! Holy crap! Is the game trying to wipe us out?!"

"It's okay, it's okay," Yu Shijiu comforted her. "I could kill hundreds of fish this size without getting tired."

Xu Han's expression changed instantly, and he said righteously, "...Okay, Shi Jiu, you have to protect me."

"Okay."

Yu Shijiu nodded with a smile.

He Lingling: "..."

Her lips twitched, and she continued to look down at the fish that had gathered together.

For some reason, He Lingling felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the fish gathered below the surface of the water.

why?

Is "Ghost Eye" reminding me to be careful?

He Lingling calmed herself down and was about to tell Yu Shijiu and the other person to try to avoid touching these fish—

"So many! So many fish!"

Suddenly, Thumbelina's joyful voice came from the lotus flower next to Yu Shijiu.

The three of them immediately stopped what they were doing, looked at each other, and fell silent.

"Fish, fish..."

Thumbelina's voice grew increasingly cheerful; it sounded like she was singing, or perhaps praying.

"Did you come here for me?"

Thumbelina said, "Do you all know that I was kidnapped by an ugly toad to be his bride? Waaaaah... I don't want to be a toad's bride, I don't like it, I don't like them..."

"..."

The three of them looked serious. Yu Shijiu stared in astonishment at the lotus flower from which Thumbelina's crying had come from, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

Based on the conversations he had with Thumbelina, she shouldn't have shown any weakness upon seeing these schools of fish.

You should at least observe carefully before speaking, right?

Thumbelina isn't stupid.

Feeling something was off, Yu Shijiu frowned, and after thinking for a moment, still reminded him:

"I feel something's not right. Listen to Sister Lingling, Brother Han, you should stay away from the water."

"Oh."

Xu Han's most perfect trait is that he is quite pragmatic. Upon hearing this, he immediately took several steps back and stood firmly in the center of the lotus flower, staring straight ahead, not daring to move.

He Lingling paused for a few seconds before looking at Yu Shijiu, "And what about you?"

She certainly didn't miss the fact that Yu Shijiu's words just now didn't include himself.

"I?"

Yu Shijiu winked at He Lingling and said with a smile, "I'll be fine."

He Lingling hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking: "..."

But what Yu Shijiu said was indeed the truth.

He will definitely be fine.

Even if there really were piranhas, they probably could only withstand two blows from Yu Shijiu's axe.

Thinking of the scenes of Yu Shijiu fighting those monsters in the past, He Lingling swallowed and decided that when Yu Shijiu really made a move, she would better find a chance to stay away.

Putting everything else aside... she was actually a little afraid of getting covered in blood; even without being a germaphobe, it was still quite disgusting.

It's not much different from the disgusting feeling of a toad licking its own arms and legs.

As the Thumbelina on the neighboring lotus flower cried louder and the melody of her song grew more and more mournful, the fish that had been barely visible before drew closer and closer to the surface of the water.

"Fish...fish...please save me...please save me..."

Thumbelina on the lotus flower cried out repeatedly for help:

"I don't want to marry that ugly toad, I don't want to be the toad's bride, please help me, please help me..."

"..."

Yu Shijiu glanced at He Lingling and Xu Han beside her, and suddenly smiled at them.

Both of them felt a sudden tightness in their chests. He Lingling's pupils contracted sharply, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart. Suddenly, she guessed what Yu Shijiu was planning to do.

Sure enough, the next second, Yu Shijiu opened her mouth and began to make strange cries for help, just like Thumbelina.

"Please help me, please help me..."

Yu Shijiu imitated the mournful tone, but the smile on his face grew deeper and deeper:

"I don't want to marry an ugly toad, I don't want to be a toad's bride... Fish, fish... kind fish, can you... can you save me?"

At the same time, Chen Yi and An Jie, who were observing the fish and waiting for an opportunity, suddenly looked at Yu Shijiu, who was standing on the edge of the lotus flower and "singing" not far away.

Anjie: "..."

She took a deep breath, and the veins on her forehead throbbed several times, almost revealing the bluish tinge along the fleshy edge.

She stuffed two more pages into her mouth, savoring the lingering ink flavor, and took several deep breaths.

It's alright, it's alright. Yu Shijiu is very capable; they're just a bunch of fish that don't know their own strength. They won't have any effect on him.

Splash!

The fish that had been swimming beneath the surface of the water suddenly leaped out and rushed toward Yu Shijiu, who had made the sound.
