Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 790 Bow

Thumbelina sat motionless on the edge of the table, her eyes fixed and her body still, gazing at the scenery outside the French windows. She sat there for the entire day.

Even Yu Shijiu next to him got tired of watching.

In the afternoon, Yu Shijiu got up and left to wander around with An Jie and the others, and they also discussed whether any players had been selected in the Eye of All Things last night.

Yu Shijiu responded, "It's okay, I'll be selected tonight even if I wasn't selected last night."

Anjie and the other four: "..."

Chen Yi said cheerfully, "Shi Jiu is right, we will be chosen eventually."

Based on their experience, they estimate that every night players will be selected by the "Thumbelinas" in turn, and then one by one they will be tempted to make the selected person make a mistake.

As long as you don't open your eyes or respond, nothing will happen.

The group searched every corner of the table but found no clues, so they gave up. They figured that in the first scene, only the "Thumbelinas" and the foster mother posed a threat to the player's life.

Strangely enough, they didn't see anything when they climbed the flowerpots during the day, not even the corpse of the female player named Xiaonan in the Eye of All Things.

Yu Shijiu responded, "Xiao Nan's body was eaten by Thumbelina last night."

"..."

The five of them, who had been lounging around all day, drinking water whenever they were thirsty or hungry, looked listlessly at the sudden downpour outside the French windows. Before they could even speak, they saw Thumbelina, who had been sitting there all day, rush towards the match bed.

The six members of the Eye of All Things, who had also come up empty-handed, grumbled and climbed onto the table. Fang Youhua also saw Thumbelina running back to her bed, and her eyes flickered slightly.

"Go back to your respective beds."

After Fang Youhua finished speaking, she dragged her tired limbs toward the match bed.

-

"...It's my foster mother coming soon."

He Lingling, with her sharp ears, glanced at Fang Youhua and his group of six backs before standing up, stretching, and saying:

"Go back to your beds first, maybe there will be dinner tonight."

That being said, He Lingling didn't really have much hope that her adoptive mother would bring "dinner".

Judging from the situation yesterday and this morning, the foster mother seems gentle and kind, and her attitude towards them seems to be very gentle and caring, but in reality, she just treats them as "playthings".

Yes, playthings.

A plaything that can be easily discarded or even killed.

He Lingling felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of what Yu Shijiu had said about the many "Thumbelina" corpses and heads in the flowerpots.

—The foster mother most likely received a great many seeds from the witch.

She had so many seeds, so many disobedient, unpleasant, and displeasing "seed crystals," which she could kill at will.

It's just a seed anyway.

If you get bored after killing it, you can just "plant" another one, right?

He Lingling guessed that this was what her adoptive mother was thinking.

After all the players were asleep on their own matchstick beds, the door was opened.

"La la la~"

The foster mother hummed a familiar lullaby as she approached the table, the tray in her hands swaying and making a faint tinkling sound.

"Huh? Are the children all asleep?"

The foster mother placed the tray in an empty spot on the table, smiling as she looked at the children "sleeping" in the matchbox bed, and casually pulled a bell the size of a palm from the pocket of her apron at her waist.

Danglanglang——

When the piercing bell rang, all the players who were pretending to be asleep felt a sharp, stinging pain in their ears, as if they were being pricked by needles.

Now, no one could bear the pain in their brains, and they opened their eyes one after another with muffled groans.

As the protagonist of this game instance, Thumbelina was the first to rub her eyes and get up.

She looked as if she had just woken up, her big, bright eyes still glistening with tears, making them appear as if they had been soaked in water, making her look especially beautiful and well-behaved.

"Mother."

Thumbelina reached out her hand to her foster mother, who was shaking a bell, and said softly:

I miss you so much~

Every word and sentence is filled with genuine feelings.

The other players next to them started up slowly.

Xu Han looked at Thumbelina with envy, secretly resolving to learn how to reach out without blushing or skipping a beat.

The adoptive mother seemed to really fall for it.

As for He Lingling, An Jie, Chen Yi, Yu Shijiu... the three of them looked at the hand with the thumb outstretched in tacit agreement.

Even though Thumbelina was trying her best to control herself, they could still see that the other person's hands, arms, and even body were trembling.

The shaking doesn't happen frequently, but it's still noticeable if you look closely.

The foster mother probably couldn't see, after all, Thumbelina was too small.

"Oh dear," the foster mother's eyes curved into crescents, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepening, revealing an eerie tenderness: "My dear daughter misses her mother."

Thumbelina nodded and said earnestly, "Yes, I miss my mom."

Then Thumbelina was picked up by her adoptive mother and placed in her palm.

Thumbelina staggered as if she couldn't stand still, but quickly changed her posture and knelt in her foster mother's hand, rubbing her forehead against her wrist.

"Mom, you worked hard today."

"Thumbelina said in a low voice with her head down."
