Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 708 Social Animals

They were all wrong.

From the very beginning, the boss of the "Sheep Sacrifice" dungeon was not just a single "person".

It is a group of "people".

Are goats social animals?

Yes.

Are humans social animals?

Yes.

Although this reason doesn't apply to the vast majority of "people"

But who dares to deny it?

A person can feel lonely... so can a goat.

Goats are sometimes considered a derogatory term for "humans".

This ship, floating on the sea and almost completely isolated from the outside world, is a huge, not very spacious "communal" sheepfold.

sheep pen.

Those tattered pieces of cloth buried in the hold, those knelt and kowtowed while the herd of goats stood by indifferently... those fragile, helpless lambs sacrificed...

Angkor and Wangji are the more capable leader sheep.

Crew NPCs with similar abilities to Akin are like sheep waiting to be dominated.

The guests who indulged in extravagance on the second-floor cabins were the true "people" on this ship.

But in the later stages, the order created by "humans" in an objective sense is completely broken, and the flock without a leader will begin to feel helpless, go crazy... and collapse.

All sheep (people) want to live.

All the sheep (people) are trying their best to survive.

When survival becomes an impossible reality, the forcibly constructed order on this ship will collapse and be destroyed, and the status between "humans" and "sheep" will be completely reversed.

After all... the power of these driven, silent "sheep" far surpasses that of "humans".

"..."

After sorting through these absurd clues, He Lingling felt listless and lacked energy—not only had she become blind again after being told about "Ghost Eyes," but excessive blood loss would indeed make her feel lethargic.

What's more, this instance... the ending is so absurd it's almost ridiculous.

But upon closer examination, it actually makes sense.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it... This saying has been proven countless times over a long period of time.

Shi Yuan almost immediately calmed down, "Then it's alright, as long as we can live, we can live."

As she spoke, she reluctantly raised her hand to check the time, and said coldly:

"There are about five hours left until dawn."

Sun Qin was already overwhelmed by the flood of information and had a splitting headache. She was still trying to process what He Lingling had just said.

He Lingling was exhausted. She leaned on Shi Yuan's warm, trembling shoulder and slowly uttered a "hmm" from deep in her throat.

On the three decks of the ship.

The sheep-headed people's increasingly hoofed hands and feet were running back and forth on the deck—they had begun to "process" the second "sacrifice".

pat-

Fine rain fell from the night sky, dripping onto the wet heads of the sheep-headed people, making their chaotic and indifferent gazes even more frenzied and chilling.

“…Meow…meow…less…less…”

"...The sea god thinks it's not enough...the offerings are too few...the offerings are too few..."

"The offerings... are too few..."

"More...more 'sacrifices'...to make the sea god...meow...meow...even happier..."

"..."

------------

Yu Shijiu and Xu Han saw Wang Ji's "corpse" at the stairwell leading to the third-floor cabin.

Wang Ji's corpse still looked somewhat human-like, without excessive wool or ubiquitous horizontal pupils... In short, it was a fairly conventional "corpse".

"……hiss."

Xu Han gasped, hesitatingly avoiding Wang Ji's corpse, not daring to look into the other's eyes that were staring intently at the ceiling.

"He, how did he die?"

Brother Zhu was also hesitant to look and asked a question.

"Who knows?"

Xu Han complained, "He was perfectly fine before we left, did he die in the dungeon's cutscene?"

"..."

Lu Chusheng approached Wang Ji's corpse, lowered his head to smell it, frowned, and took a step back—the corpse really didn't smell good.

Yu Shijiu made a serious guess: "Could it be that Brother Wu killed him? After all, Wu Huimin is dead. Brother Wang obviously knew that Wu Huimin was Brother Wu's sister, but he didn't tell Brother Wu about it."

"..." Xu Han licked his lips, "That, that was quite ruthless..."

Yu Shijiu stepped forward with great interest and examined Wang Ji's corpse several times, his gaze lingering on the tip of the knife protruding from the other's chest.

"Looks like another sneak attack?"

Yu Shijiu felt that the manner of death was a bit strange, but he couldn't find any other suspicious points, so he could only temporarily confirm that Wang Ji was killed by Wu Ge's sneak attack.

Quite miserable.

This misery applies to everyone.

Everyone except those "guests".

Mr. Yao, who was the first to be dismembered, can also be considered one of the "tragic" victims.

"Ugh."

Xu Han walked around Wang Ji's body and up the stairs. "If you ask me, Brother Wang shouldn't have hidden it. If he hadn't, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way..."

"Who knows?"

Yu Shijiu twirled the axe in his hand: "Maybe even Brother Wang only discovered that Wu Huimin was working on the ship after it had set sail?"

"..."

Xu Han didn't know what to say.

Brother Zhu sighed, "Then that would truly be a tragedy."

At first, not stopping it could be considered evil... but later, when I saw my friend's sister being "tricked" into working on the ship, I wanted to speak up but was worried that my friend would go crazy, so I chose not to say anything... This kind of chaotic emotional choice is indeed too complicated.

Zhu Ge felt he could understand Wang Ji's actions.

Wang Ji probably just wanted to wait until he got off the ship to talk to Angkor... He thought this voyage would also end safely.

"uh-huh."

Yu Shijiu walked towards the stairs, then suddenly turned her head to look into the depths of the corridor and smiled slightly.

"Why don't you come out?"

Yu Shijiu's words startled Xu Han and Zhu Ge so much that they froze on the spot, too afraid to move.

Why isn't it coming out?

Is anyone there? Who is there? How long have they been there?!

A torrent of intense fear and panic swirled and boiled within their minds, like water being boiled.

Lu Chusheng followed Yu Shijiu's gaze and looked towards the end of the corridor—felines are always more perceptive than humans, and he had already noticed that there were "people" there.

"Ok?"

Seeing that the person at the end of the corridor had not responded for a long time, Yu Shijiu tilted her head and repeated the sentence in confusion.

"Why won't you come out or answer?"

Yu Shijiu said patiently and obediently, "Brother A Jin?"

Xu Han and Brother Zhu's eyes widened instantly.

Brother Jin?!

That ordinary NPC who keeps appearing and whom Yu Shijiu thinks might be the BOSS?!

real or fake? !

Shouldn't the other party have already gone to the third deck by now?

"..."

After a long silence, heavy footsteps echoed at the end of the corridor.
