Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 194 Sin (Part 2)

The sticky, fishy smell was carried by the wind, seeping into our breaths inch by inch, like the inherent nausea of ​​Changsheng Village.

A smile slowly appeared on the woman's face. She looked at Yang Wan's distorted face and body, seemingly unable to see the earthworm-like limbs growing from various parts of the other's body and the sticky fluid that fell from them.

"Do you want to leave?"

The woman's face—oh no, it should be Gong Nianwen—was the one who asked.

Yang Wan looked at her blankly, bloody mucus dripping from the corner of her cracked mouth:

"Leave?" Yang Wan scoffed, her pupils turning bloodshot.

"Of course I want to leave. I dream of leaving this place. To leave, I'm even willing to continue committing crimes, to continue being an unforgivable sinner. I want to turn innocent people into my 'substitutes' to live in this village in my place..."

In the end, Yang Wan even let out a strange laugh from her throat, then choked and lowered her head, coughing repeatedly, spitting out a large number of tiny pink earthworm larvae that looked like insect eggs.

The earthworm did not die.

The earthworms were still alive inside their bodies.

Yang Wan had never realized this as much as she had at this moment.

She can't possibly get out.

Feifei couldn't possibly get out either.

Those old people—no, they should be the old people who were transformed into "stand-ins" by the previous group of tourists—can no longer leave Changsheng Village.

This is a "curse".

It is a curse that can never be broken, a curse that has been passed down through generations along with the twisted desires of the first generation of villagers.

"You once thought of reminding me."

Gong Nian's remaining face continued to speak; she seemed completely oblivious to Yang Wan's despair, continuing to say to herself:

“But I didn’t think that much about it at the time. I thought you just wanted me to bring back some cooking seasonings for you and your grandma.”

"It's all a lie!"

Yang Wan quickly dragged her broken and grotesque body closer to Gong Nian, her turbid white pupils wide open as if they were about to burst open.

"I just want you to trust me a little more, to believe a little more that there are indeed children in Changsheng Village who need to learn, and to believe how pitiful and lonely the elderly in Changsheng are! Only in this way! Only in this way!"

Yang Wan's voice was almost a shout, and she said through tears:

"Don't you understand even though you're dead? Only in this way can more people come to the Village of Immortality! Only when people come can we, the previous batch of 'substitutes,' leave this hellhole!"

No one is innocent.

Even if someone is innocent at the beginning, they may end up not being innocent.

They are sinners as long as they want to take action, as long as they want to convert others to gain "freedom" for themselves.

with no exceptions.

"I know."

Gong Nian's tone remained calm. There was still some vomit on the corner of her mouth, but she no longer had human hands, so she couldn't wipe it away.

"But what can we do? Does any one of us really want to be the so-called sinner?"

Gong Nian's eyes grew increasingly red, and the purplish-red cracks on her pale, bloodless cheeks multiplied, like a mask about to burst open.

"I am a sinner too..."

Gong Nian's lips curled upwards, and the blood and flesh stuck between her teeth fell down gently and slowly onto the half-dead corpse in front of her.

Yang Wan finally realized what was going on.

She looked at Gong Nian, whose speech was now becoming incoherent, and said, "You—"

Before Yang Wan could finish speaking, she saw the giant earthworm with a human face suddenly wrap around the half-corpse in front of it, and the ring-shaped flesh on the earthworm's body was trembling little by little.

“I am the unforgivable sinner…” Gong Nian’s face was twisted in a bitter smile, and the flesh on the earthworm’s body trembled and writhed silently.

“I ate it, my father.”

When her consciousness was overtaken by the mind of the "God" which had no intelligence whatsoever.

The "god" mistakenly took his longing for his father as "appetite".

appetite.

appetite.

appetite.

Desire—desire—disgusting desire!!!

These are desires that humans shouldn't have, yet they are everywhere!

Gong Nian's face began to crack inch by inch. She pressed her father's body into her own body bit by bit. The writhing flesh seemed to have signs of life and kept throbbing, gradually merging the remaining half of Uncle Gong's corpse into the surrounding earthworm corpses.

Yang Wan looked at the bizarre scene before her and subconsciously took several steps back.

"Let's go."

Gong Nian's face, on the verge of collapse, struggled to speak:

"Perhaps, you can leave Changsheng Village without a 'stand-in'..."

--------

whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The sound of rapid breathing lingered in her ears. As Yang Wan ran step by step to the village entrance, she saw an old woman standing in front of the village stone tablet, bending over and wiping it with a cloth.

"Philippines—"

"Don't call me!"

The old lady interrupted Yang Wan sharply and walked into the village with the basin of water in her hand.

"I'm just here to clean the stones. After all, I'll be the village chief of Changsheng Village from now on."

The old lady said.

Yang Wan's eyes widened suddenly, and she said in disbelief, "Feifei! Do you know what you're saying?!"

What does it mean that he will be the village chief of Changsheng Village from now on?

“I know,” the old woman said calmly, her eyes flashing with a chilling light as she looked at Yang Wan, who was still panting and battered.

"I don't want to live such a tiring life anymore."

"But we can leave now!" Yang Wan said urgently.

"Yes, it was the 'God' who said it! It said we can leave now!"

“No,” the old woman shook her head, “the only way to leave Changsheng Village is to find a ‘substitute.’ There is no other way to leave.”

"But this is what the 'God' said—"

"What 'god'? It's nothing more than a powerful earthworm conjured up from human imagination."

The old woman gripped the basin of water tightly in her hands, and the wriggling earthworm larvae in her eye sockets protruded from their mouths, making a hissing sound.

"Now, I will continue to provide for this 'earthworm' and ensure its survival."

It will also allow Changsheng Village to survive forever.

It wasn't until the old lady left that Yang Wan came back to her senses from the immense disbelief.

She thought of what Gong Nian had said before he disappeared.

Once they completely believed that the "substitute" could allow them to leave Changsheng Village, they couldn't bear to die.

Gong Nian's pale face is still vivid in my mind.

Humans don't want to die, given even the slightest possibility.

Yang Wan covered her ears in pain, screamed, and ran out of the Changsheng Village area, disappearing into the fog that shrouded the village year-round.

boom--

Yang Wan's body suddenly swelled up in the mist, and finally ruptured into a bloody, mangled mess.

The minced meat was bitten by the earthworms in the soil and quickly crawled away and disappeared in the soil.

As Gong Nian said, she left Changsheng Village in another way, yet it seemed as if she had not left at all.

An old woman holding a basin of water in Changsheng Village suddenly stopped.

She slowly turned her head, her cloudy, yellowish eyes rotating 360 degrees before finally settling at an angle that made the earthworm larvae stand out even more.

“I told you so,” the old woman said, her lips twitching calmly, revealing a small crack in her skin.

Earthworm larvae emerge from the cracks in the flesh, like another extension of human desire.

"Chang Sheng Village, you can't get out."

We are all sinners.
