Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 578 Murderous Intention

"..."

In the moment of excruciating pain as her head was bitten off, He Lingling heard the faint cheers of the NPC guests beside her.

"...Saved..."

"Hahaha...I knew it...hahaha..."

"...The lower class will always be the lower class...How could we possibly..."

"We can't possibly die!"

...It hurts so much, my neck hurts so much...

These were He Lingling's last words as she descended into darkness.

Off-screen, Anjie, who was peeling an orange, suddenly stood up, staring at He Lingling on the screen with a grim expression, her chest heaving violently.

How...how—

"Sister An."

Chen Yi's voice came from behind, "Do you want to buy some mutton? I don't see any in the refrigerator."

"..."

Anjie slowly calmed her rapid breathing, trying her best to respond in a calm tone.

"no need."

Anjie thought of the goat she had just seen, and goosebumps rose on her tanned arms.

"Don't buy lamb for the next two weeks."

Chen Yi was a little puzzled, but didn't say anything: "Is that so? I was thinking that lamb was on sale at the supermarket recently, so I was thinking of buying some to freeze and eat later..."

“…” Anjie said, “There will be discounts in the future.”

Chen Yi chuckled: "That's true. Sometimes supermarkets have a lot of discounted meat... I don't eat lamb, but I can eat beef..."

"..."

Anjie stared silently at He Lingling's black and red wavy, distorted screen.

The worst-case scenario is that... once He Lingling comes out of the "Sheep Sacrifice" game instance, she will never want to eat mutton again.

The experience of having my head bitten off by a goat... is definitely not a pleasant memory.

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

Its daybreak.

When Yu Shijiu woke up from his sleep, he saw Wu Ge walking in from the cabin door with a whip in his hand, and lashing the crew member opposite him who was bending over to put on his shoes with a dark face.

"what!!!"

The crew member who was whipped screamed and instinctively crouched down, covering his head, too afraid to look up.

"I rely on..."

Xu Han, who was half-asleep and putting on his shoes, was instantly jolted awake. He quickly put on his shoes and hid behind Yu Shijiu, exclaiming in terror:

"Why are you hitting someone so early in the morning? Is that really okay?"

Yu Shijiu: "...Um, I need to wear shoes too—"

Lu Chusheng, who was waiting to the side, quickly pushed Yu Shijiu's shoes closer and made a soft "meow".

"Feifei is so good."

Yu Shijiu smiled and praised him, then bent down to put on her shoes.

"Akin!"

Wu Ge put away his whip and kicked Ah Jin, who was crouching down with his head in his hands, so hard that Ah Jin fell back several steps before sitting down against the bed.

"Didn't I tell you not to steal goat's milk?!"

Goat milk?

Yu Shijiu noticed that the crew members who wanted to come up and persuade him had all stopped.

Is goat milk... a very important thing on a ship?

Ajin remained silent, silently holding his head and looking down.

Angkor was even more enraged. He took a deep breath, kicked the silent Ah Jin several more times, and said coldly:

"This is the last time! If there's a next time, you'll be thrown into the sea as bait!"

After saying that, Angkor raised his head and roared, "What the hell are you all standing there for! Put on your shoes and get to work! None of you want to work properly, do you? Do you all want to be bled dry and used as bait?!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the crew NPCs who were frozen in place all quickly ran away.

Only a few players who didn't understand the situation remained... as well as Yu Shijiu, Xu Han, and Feifei, who wanted to see how the story would continue.

Seeing that they hadn't left, Angkor raised his whip with a forced smile:

"You want to too—"

"Angkor."

Yu Shijiu raised his hand and said, "Brother Wang told me last night that I should do the work of milking goats today."

Xu Han, who was standing next to him wishing he could bury his head under the deck, thought: "...???"

No?! Wu Ge just beat up this crew member NPC named Ah Jin because of the goat milk, and now Shi Jiu, you're so reckless as to say you're going to milk the goats?!

Good heavens! Good heavens! Good heavens! Are they really not afraid of getting beaten up by Angkor Wat?!

Xu Han inwardly groaned that he was likely to be whipped, while simultaneously struggling to overcome his fear and stepping out from behind Yu Shijiu to shield him—

Well, his innate skill is quite effective at healing these kinds of superficial wounds on himself... and it doesn't require much stamina (healing others requires double the effort)... it just hurts a bit.

Lu Chusheng glanced indifferently at Xu Han, whose legs were trembling slightly.

Although he is timid and not very smart... Xu Han is a good person.

Yu Shijiu looked at Xu Han, who was trying to cover himself, with a puzzled expression, and pulled the other's arm back.

"Brother Wang told me last night that he wanted me to go milking goats with him."

Xu Han, whose arm was being held and unable to move: "..."

What should I do if my legs suddenly feel weak...?

Wu Ge, who had been interrupted, frowned and looked at them. The rage in his eyes reminded Xu Han of the scene last night where Wu Ge was gouging out and eating his own eyeballs—ugh.

Xu Han choked up, almost feeling nauseous again.

Good heavens, he's really not a coward, he just saw something so disgusting and outrageous!

"Wang Ji said that?"

Wu Ge didn't look at Xu Han, who was hanging his head; he was looking at Yu Shijiu.

"When did you say that last night?"

"When we were in the lower deck."

Yu Shijiu, looking very honest and well-behaved, said:

"Brother Wang said that we two have a special connection with sheep."

Xu Han, who was hanging his head beside him, was speechless.

What do you mean by having a connection with sheep? How come he doesn't know that? Wasn't he there when he was talking to Wang Ji last night? How come he doesn't remember Wang Ji saying that?

Yu Shijiu, always "honest and law-abiding," looked at Wu Ge's increasingly furrowed brow and said:

"Wang Ge, is it Brother Wang who will take us to the lower deck to milk the goats?"

Wu Ge stared at him for a while, then kicked Ah Jin next to him, saying, "It's not Wang Ji, it's him."

Yu Shijiu then pretended to suddenly realize something and looked down at A Jin, who was still holding his head, "So it was Brother A Jin who took us there."

From the beginning, Yu Shijiu noticed that when he said "milking goats," A Jin, who had been silently squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, turned his head and looked at him and Xu Han several times.

How to describe that look in her eyes?

It's complicated, with doubts, hesitations... and a hint of panic and murderous intent that's hard to hide.

Yu Shijiu could understand the doubt, hesitation, and panic, but the murderous intent... Why would A Jin have murderous intent towards herself and Xu Han because of the words "milking goats"?

Yu Shijiu was curious about the inexplicable "killing intent." He pulled Xu Han's arm, bowed slightly towards A Jin, and said with a smile:

"Brother Jin, shall we go milk the goats now?"
