Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 225 Beginning

Upon realizing that Yu Shijiu had entered the game, Feifei quickly ran out of the bathroom, meowing angrily as she charged toward the sofa.

What a pity, just one second short.

Fatty, having missed its target, angrily scratched at the cushion on the sofa where Yu Shijiu had leaned against, meowing loudly.

That darn owner, meow! They didn't even include me in the game!!

Fatty barked angrily until someone knocked on the door from the outside.

It stopped scratching the sofa, hesitated for a few seconds, and then cautiously approached the door with its cat-like steps.

"Meow?"

Who?

The person outside coughed and whispered, "It's me, Laibao."

A slightly familiar male voice sounded outside the door, and the wariness on the fat cat's face gradually disappeared.

It gripped the doorknob, twisted the door open with force, and then took a step back.

Outside the door, the baby-faced male player suddenly let out a wail and lunged at Fatty.

"Ahhh, my Laibao!!!"

Fatty quickly jumped to the side to dodge the baby-faced male player's bear pounce, his gaze turning somewhat cold.

"Meow meow meow!"

Don't touch me, I'm a bad guy!

The baby-faced male player lost his footing and slammed his head against the wall, instantly becoming dizzy from the impact.

But he didn't forget to try to address the fat creature in front of him, which seemed to have split into two:

"Come on, let's go back to the inspection team to eat. Laibao, have you eaten yet? You probably haven't, right? I specially prepared lots and lots of dried fish, chicken breast, and freeze-dried food!"

Fatty, who wanted to refuse, was speechless.

It glanced back at the empty living room, suddenly let out a cold snort, and walked towards the baby-faced male player with its head held high.

"Meow meow meow meow!!!"

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, meow! I don't want to stay in the homes of these owners who don't want me anymore, meow!

...Just don't meow for now.

After shouting, Fatty secretly added another sentence in his mind.

The baby-faced male player instantly beamed with joy, his dizziness and headache vanished, and he quickly ran to the door and blocked it from closing.

"Come on, come on! You can eat whatever you want there! I'll get it all for you!"

"Meow meow meow!"

That's more like it, meow!

Fatty glanced back at her and Yu Shijiu's house several times before following the baby-faced male player out of the house.

The door slammed shut with a loud bang.

After walking out, Fatty suddenly remembered something, and abruptly looked up to bite the baby-faced male player's trouser leg.

The baby-faced male player, who was rambling on and on to himself, exclaimed "Ah!" and looked down to meet the fat man's eerie green eyes.

In an instant, the baby-faced male player seemed to realize something.

"Oh right, Brother Lu asked me to come. He said you might not have anywhere to eat these next few days."

The baby-faced male player spoke with a hint of anger. He whimpered a few times and then squatted down to pounce on Fatty. This time, Fatty, who was stunned in place, did not dodge.

It was Master Lu Chusheng who sent the other party to find me... Does that mean Master Lu Chusheng knew that Master Shi Jiu wouldn't take me into the game?

What does this cat mean? Does it look down on me?

Fatty got angry again. Its usually soft and gentle squeaking suddenly turned hoarse, and a series of extremely hoarse meows came out of its throat, startling the baby-faced male player who was hugging it and desperately sniffing it.

what sound?

When he realized it was Fatty making the sound, the baby-faced male player was speechless.

He pretended not to hear and got up to continue walking forward, his gaze very calm.

Yes, it's just an auditory hallucination.

"Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow!!!"

That's too much! That's too much! That's too much! That's too much! Meow!!!

Baby-faced male player: "...Wow, the weather is so nice today!"

"Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow!!!"

This cat will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never forgive those two wicked owners who "abandoned" meow so easily!!!

"Wow, the air is so fresh."

The baby-faced male player continued muttering to himself.

"Meow meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow!!!!"

Unforgivable!!! Unforgivable!!! Unforgivable!!!

Players on the surrounding streets stared at the bizarre behavior of the person and the cat, assuming they had gone mad again.

There are just too many crazy people at Dawn Games every day... so two more won't make a difference—wait?!

That cat looks kind of familiar!

----------

This is a forest covered with rotting, withered leaves. Underfoot is deep, almost black, soil. Many insects with black shells crawl out from among the rotten leaves, spitting out their mouthparts to gnaw on the charred, decaying leaves.

In stark contrast to the withered branches and leaves on the ground, the surrounding forest was densely covered with lush, verdant foliage. Birds among the branches sang songs that humans could not understand, hopping and chirping among the branches.

The birds looked down at the twenty or so people lying haphazardly on the ground, their dark little eyes darting around, seemingly very curious about these humans lying on the ground.

Until, a small, jet-black bird couldn't resist flying to the ground. It looked at the thin boy lying among the crowd and curiously lowered its head to peck at him—

"Ha-"

The moment consciousness returned, Yu Shijiu suddenly opened his eyes.

He instinctively grabbed the small, dark shape in front of him, which he couldn't see clearly, and heard the soft, cold shape in his hand emit a sharp squeaking sound.

"Chirp——"

After the overlapping images in front of her disappeared, Yu Shijiu could see the dark shadow in her hand.

It was a small, somewhat dirty black bird.

Yu Shijiu noticed the other person's eyes rolling back as he held them, and subconsciously let go.

flutter--

The little black bird, now free, let out a sharp cry again. It flapped its wings and rushed to a nearby branch, hiding behind the dense foliage, trembling as it tucked its head into its feathers.

Yu Shijiu, whose mind was still a little dazed: "..."

He blinked slowly, and smelled a damp, rotten odor from the back of his head—

Yu Shijiu quickly stood up, turned around and saw the rotten and smelly garbage mixed with soil on the ground, and his heart clenched.

This game's start was the most disgusting.

He touched the back of his head, where he still felt the lingering rot, and unsurprisingly, his hand was covered in sticky, decaying material.

They were the rotten leaves stuck in my hair.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He remained silent for a few seconds before frantically shaking his hands.

The twenty-odd people lying on the ground gradually regained consciousness. They sat up, clutching their throbbing heads, trying to clear their minds.

Among them, Xu Han, who was sighing and groaning, and He Lingling, who remained silent, stood out particularly.

The former is too verbose, while the latter is too quiet.

Xu Han tearfully shoved the rotting leaves behind his head toward He Lingling, complaining:

"Holy crap! What a bizarre start! Are we really going to someone else's banquet like this?!"

He Lingling rubbed her temples, feeling a slight headache, and subconsciously looked for Yu Shijiu—

Oh, no need to look.

The only two players standing in the entire arena, no, the only two, one of whom was Yu Shijiu.

Another one—

It was Lu Chusheng.
