Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 704 Sunset Warning

Yu Shijiu stared intently at his head as he ate his bread for a long while, her expression blank.

Just as Xu Han felt his scalp tingling and his whole body starting to tingle and get goosebumps from Yu Shijiu's gaze, Yu Shijiu looked away.

call……

Xu Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He was terrified... Why was Shi Jiu suddenly looking at him like that? It made him wonder if he'd been corrupted by the goat too...

Xu Han couldn't resist after holding back for a long time, so he turned his head to peek at Yu Shijiu and was stunned.

Yu Shijiu broke the breadstick in half again and lowered his head to feed it to Feifei.

Feifei paused for a few seconds, then shook her head to avoid it—but Yu Shijiu grabbed the soft flesh on the back of her neck and forced her mouth open.

"Eat."

Yu Shijiu stuffed the bread into "Feifei's" mouth, and with his other hand, he half-forcefully and half-gently stroked the back of the orange cat's neck, then slowly stroked it again and again.

"Eating something will prevent your stomach from feeling uncomfortable."

As Yu Shijiu spoke, he stuffed the remaining half of the breadstick into his mouth and chewed it with great satisfaction.

Xu Han stared blankly for a moment, his eyelids slowly drooping—he was also getting sleepy.

Having not slept well last night and not rested much today, drowsiness gradually crept over Xu Han's body and mind. He sighed and forced a yawn to suppress his sleepiness.

"Sleepy?"

Yu Shijiu, with her sharp ears, heard a yawn and quickly turned to look at Xu Han.

"what?"

Xu Han was a little confused by the question and felt a little embarrassed: "Yes, I'm a little sleepy."

"Then go back and get some sleep."

Yu Shijiu stood up, stuffed the rest of the bread into his mouth, and mumbled:

"Nothing should happen during the day, so let's all go back and get some rest and sleep."

Most importantly, once a person falls asleep, they won't feel so hungry.

"……Oh."

Xu Han obediently stood up, glanced at Zhu Ge who was "sleeping" against the corner of the wall, and reached out to help him up.

The three people and the cat slowly walked past the sheep-headed people who were busy eating "meat" and drinking "soup," and left without looking back.

After they had completely gone, the sheep-headed people who had finished their share of "soup and meat" looked up blankly, their noses twitching as if they were trying to absorb the remaining aroma of "soup and meat" in the air.

"...And...and soup..."

"Meat...there's meat...there's still meat..."

"Nobody eats it...it's meat and soup that nobody eats..."

"...It's mine, it's mine..."

"No...I saw it first...It's mine...It's mine..."

"its mine!"

"its mine!"

"..."

The sheep-headed people crowded in the corridor saw the ownerless "soup" and "meat" on the ground. The dense red veins in their horizontal pupils almost burst open, and blood flowed all over their faces.

They—no, they already are.

They tore at each other for the ownership of the "soup" and the "meat," tearing at each other with all their might—*splat*—the neck of the goat-headed man was bitten open.

Bang! — This was the sound of a goat-headed man, his eyes bloodshot from killing, slamming his goat horns against the wall.

Snap—this is the goat-headed man being…

More and more sheep-headed people began to tear and attack each other frantically. In just a few minutes, the corridor that was just filled with the aroma of meat and broth was completely replaced by the pungent smell of blood.

evening.

Around six o'clock, Yu Shijiu opened his eyes from his rest while holding "Feifei".

The dormitory room was still terribly dark, and the sky, reddish-brown, looked strangely bright through the half-open window not far away.

Yu Shijiu had seen this color of sky a few times before.

At that time, he was confined to a sanatorium and could not get out. The only thing he could access was the window that was always open and the sky outside the window.

This kind of magnificent, almost unsettling, reddish-brown sunset usually foreshadows one thing—it's about to rain.

In real life, the rain might start tonight, or it might start tomorrow.

But now, the time for rain... is probably not far off.

After appreciating the rare beauty of the sunset and the deep sea for several minutes, Yu Shijiu stretched, his joints making a cracking sound.

"Well."

Yu Shijiu lazily pinched the bridge of her nose and looked at "Feifei" who was squatting beside her, also staring at the red sunset without blinking.

"Sleep a little longer?"

Yu Shijiu suggested, "If we sleep a little longer, we'll probably wake up to a torrential downpour."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

Lu Chusheng lowered his head and licked his paw. Each time his barbed tongue licked the paw pad, a gentle tingling sensation would travel to his brain.

I am a cat now.

After habitually brainwashing himself, Lu Chusheng leaned against Yu Shijiu, pretending to be drowsy and closing his eyes, while secretly peeking at Yu Shijiu with his eyes half-open.

Contrary to his words, Yu Shijiu did not fall asleep. He continued to gaze at the remaining beauty of the sunset outside the window. His open almond-shaped eyes were faintly glowing red in the sunset, making them exceptionally beautiful, like beautiful rubies.

"...Go to sleep."

Nearly twenty minutes later, Yu Shijiu finally got enough of the sunset, yawning and shrinking back into the blankets, shivering.

In Lu Chusheng's view, the trembling was more like "excitement".

Seeing the sunset, Yu Shijiu was actually a little agitated, or rather—he was hoping it would rain soon.

It's raining... which means the sheep-headed people will all come out.

Is there any difference between a sheep-headed person during the day and one at night? Anyone with a sound mind can tell.

"Fatty~"

Yu Shijiu, who was huddled under the covers, called out to him in a muffled voice, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's sleep a little longer, the more we sleep, the more energy we'll have!"

Lu Chusheng: "..."

Lu Chusheng sighed, wagged his tail, walked over to Yu Shijiu, lay down next to her, and then raised a paw to pat her chest.

The boy was very happy to be photographed and soon fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Lu Chusheng stared at his smiling face with his eyes wide open, and slowly blinked.

There are less than six hours left until midnight.

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

11:55.

He Lingling was jolted awake from her sleep, her mouth so dry that every time she swallowed, she tasted blood.

Water... I need to drink some water.

He Lingling struggled to get out of bed, but paused when she saw two figures lying on the other bed.

The dry, sore throat from lack of water made her rush into the bathroom and turn on the light without thinking much about it.

Click.

The bathroom light was turned on, and He Lingling, enduring the dry pain, raised her head and stood in front of the mirror, staring expressionlessly at her reflection.
