Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 465 The 2st time

Xu Han, who had been rambling on and on to himself until his throat was dry, finally stopped and licked his lips. Then he saw the three of them start walking forward as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

Xu Han: "?"

"Wait, what were you guys talking about? I didn't understand. What about me? Can I play too?"

"If you can beat them."

He Lingling said coolly, "If you can beat us, no one will say anything against you."

Xu Han: "..."

He was both angry at being looked down upon and a little guilty: "Actually, I could manage to fight back a few times, but besides, do you think you can beat them?"

"I can't beat them."

He Lingling has a very clear understanding of her own abilities, "so I don't ask myself if I can play."

Xu Han: "..."

He lowered his head dejectedly and remained silent.

Yu Shijiu and Chen Yi, who were walking at the front, ignored the habitual bickering between the two. The latter stuffed a lot of props into Yu Shijiu's hands while continuing to whisper instructions.

"We can take action, but if we actually see the manager, it's best to run away if we can. We don't know how many days we'll have to stay here... If we stay for ten days or half a month, things will get complicated."

Putting aside whether physical strength can withstand it, even a person's spirit may not be able to endure ten days or half a month of torment... No wonder Dawn Games has players who suffer mental breakdowns and wander the streets every now and then.

“Mmm,” Yu Shijiu remained obedient. “If I find that the manager is very angry, I will try my best not to take action and run outside.”

Chen Yi nodded with apparent satisfaction, though he didn't know how much of Yu Shijiu's words could be believed... After last night, Chen Yi understood Yu Shijiu's nature quite well—that she would forget everything once she got into a fight.

Anjie should really be allowed to speak to Yu Shijiu.

However, if it were An Jie... Chen Yi suspected that An Jie might go crazy with Yu Shijiu, after all, An Jie wasn't exactly a good-natured person either.

Chen Yi fell silent upon thinking about this.

Looking at it this way, it seems that he's the only one in the team who can be considered normal and reliable?

This answer made Chen Yi take a deep breath, feeling somewhat stifled, just as he heard Yu Shijiu ask again:

"Should we hide in that storage room now?"

"Ah."

Chen Yi shared the same idea.

Game instances don't have random NPCs appearing out of nowhere. Since that male NPC who claims to be a reporter appeared, there must have been some plot point they triggered.

—For example, that videotape.

Chen Yi thought of the videotape he had stuffed in his pocket but hadn't played yet, and wondered where in the hotel he could find a chance to play it.

Since this thing exists, then naturally there must be a machine that can play videotapes... or perhaps it's not a machine but an opportunity.

It's similar to seeing that male reporter who attacked me with his eyeballs again.

“Hey Chen,” Xu Han, who had just arrived, scratched his head, “the storage room is pretty small, it shouldn’t be able to hide the four of us.”

“Hmm.” He Lingling frowned and nodded. “It’s not just the little one, but also the old lady who takes things from the storage room. Because I can’t see, we didn’t dare to talk to her last night.”

According to the normal storyline, they should have been "chatting" with the elderly cleaning lady last night...

“…Then Shi Jiu and I will go in.”

After a moment's thought, Chen Yi made the final decision: "Since the restaurant is safe for now, you can go to the restaurant and wait for us. We'll check the storage room and come find you."

Xu Han and He Lingling had a lot of props, so Chen Yi wasn't too worried about their safety.

“Okay,” Xu Han was actually a little scared, but he still nodded. “Then Brother Chen, you and Shi Jiu need to come find us quickly. He Lingling and I don’t have much attack power. If we encounter any monsters, we’ll have to use props, which is such a waste.”

"..."

Chen Yi was speechless at what he said, and quickly waved his hand to urge him, "Hurry up and go, there won't be enough time. What are we going to do with the props if we're not going to use them? Sell them?"

"It could fetch a lot of money."

Xu Han muttered, "So many people want to buy it but can't."

Even so, after explaining the exact location of the storage room, Xu Han was still pulled away by He Lingling.

They need to find a table at the restaurant in advance, otherwise other players will come running over, and the restaurant will probably become unsafe.

"Don't skimp on the props," Chen Yi said, still a little worried. He added to the two figures as they walked away, "You can earn points later, but once you're dead, you're really gone."

"understood."

He Lingling and Xu Han turned around, nodded, and walked away.

At this moment, only Chen Yi, Yu Shijiu, and "Feifei," a big orange cat with a two-faced personality, remained in the corridor.

Lu Chusheng had been pretending to be stupid since the beginning, keeping his head down and licking his fur without making any noise, so the others didn't notice him.

“Let’s go,” Chen Yi called to Yu Shijiu, “Let’s go check out the storage room first.”

Yu Shijiu nodded; he was quite eager to meet the elderly cleaning lady and the NPC who claimed to be a reporter.

These NPCs, who can trigger a lot of plot and danger at a glance, are clearly the link that supports a certain part of the game's dungeon.

The two people and the cat quickly left the spot.

Just one minute after they disappeared, the sound of car wheels turning suddenly filled the silent corridor.

An elderly cleaning lady, pushing a cleaning cart and coughing with her head down, appeared at the end of the corridor. She held a walkie-talkie hanging on the cart, cleared her throat, and then answered the question from the other end.

“…Oh…I see…Yes…I understand…A guest is coming down…Okay, okay…I will clean the first floor properly…Okay, I understand, Manager…cough cough cough…”

"..."

The elderly cleaning lady coughed as she put the walkie-talkie back on the cleaning cart and slowly walked down the corridor.

Rolling...rolling...

The sound of the cleaning truck's wheels echoing through the quiet corridor drowned out the beeping of the elevator not far away.

The "guests" from various floors have arrived in the elevator.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in the ears of all the surviving players.

Like a cold, indifferent death pronouncement, the mechanical sound penetrating the eardrums was calm and icy.

[Attention players, the second night of the chase at the Fuling Hotel is about to begin... Please be aware of everyone around you... Please be aware of everyone around you... Please be aware of everyone around you...]

"What do you mean?"

One of the players huddled in a corner of the elevator, watching in terror as the doors slowly opened, and whispered:

"Why do I have to say 'please pay attention' three times..."

"……do not know."

His companion beside him also looked grim, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Have all the rules changed tonight?"
