Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 628 Begging

Yu Shijiu had thought more deeply than he had. Upon hearing this, he shook his head and said:

"She is saving you, but she is also saving herself."

Xu Han was a little confused and exclaimed, "What?"

"You saw her grabbing me and begging for help before she lost consciousness, right?" Yu Shijiu calmly pointed out the suspicious points:

"Rather than saying she was kind-hearted and wanted to save people, it's more accurate to say... she was looking for someone to save her."

“A place like this,” Yu Shijiu stood up, staring expressionlessly at the gleaming, luxurious room, and said in a low voice:

"A cage of riches has trapped her on this ship, with absolutely no way to escape."

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he looked down at the "goatskin" on the ground that had him curled up. He belatedly realized that the way the "goatskin" had curled itself up... looked a bit like it was hiding.

He possesses a "goatskin" that female customers desire, and wants to hide himself away.

Why does it hide itself?

Xu Han felt a chill run down his spine. He struggled to suppress his fear of the unknown and asked:

"Then, then, where are we going now?"

"Let's find Sister Lingling first."

As Yu Shijiu spoke, he bent down.

He picked up the curled-up "goatskin" and put it back deep inside the wardrobe, saying:

"Once everyone is gathered, we'll discuss what to do tonight."

"……it is good."

Xu Han agreed without objection.

As for "Fatty"... the two of them tacitly ignored it.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He licked his paw pads and responded with a deep meow.

----------

Boom boom boom!

When the loud knocking started, He Lingling was already struggling to breathe from being hugged so tightly by the short-haired female guest.

She struggled to lift her head from his embrace and cried out:

"Miss! There's a knock at the door!"

The short-haired female customer remained silent, continuing to cling tightly to He Lingling without letting go.

He Lingling: "..."

If she hadn't sensed absolutely no murderous intent emanating from the short-haired female customer's embrace, she would have genuinely wondered if the woman intended to kill her...

"Miss?" He Lingling said with effort, "I have to go open the door."

"...You can open the door."

After a while, He Lingling heard the voice of the short-haired female customer, whose voice trembled slightly.

"...If possible, remember to come back and take me with you, okay?"

"..." He Lingling's eyes felt a little sore for some reason. She nodded and said:

"If I can, I will come back to pick you up."

Only after receiving this definite answer did the short-haired female customer finally agree to let go.

When the knocking on the door turned into a fierce kicking, He Lingling could roughly guess who was kicking the door.

Thinking of this, He Lingling hesitated and turned to look at the short-haired female customer, her gaze immediately freezing on the spot.

Instead of the short-haired female guest standing in the spot, stood a snow-white, fluffy "goatskin" figure.

The familiar "goatskin".

It was the "goatskin" that grabbed He Lingling's shoulders in the bathroom.

The difference is that this time, the "goatskin" didn't come to capture He Lingling. Instead, it stood there quietly watching He Lingling, its empty pupils revealing a hint of pleading and hope.

It was begging He Lingling to take it away; it was... hoping to gain true freedom.

He Lingling's heart skipped a beat.

When the door behind her was kicked so hard it was about to fall, He Lingling finally turned around, walked behind the door, and opened it.

"Sister Lingling."

Just as Yu Shijiu was contemplating whether to kick the door open, he missed and barely managed to pull his foot back.

He Lingling was so frightened when she opened the door that she almost got kicked. She patted her chest while holding onto the door frame.

"Shi Jiu, have you always been this strong since you were little?"

This is something He Lingling has wanted to ask for a long time... It seems that Yu Shijiu's strength has exceeded that of ordinary people ever since he entered the game...

"Forehead."

Yu Shijiu was truly stumped by the question. He was about to nod when he suddenly recalled the scene of his hands and feet being forcibly tied up by several doctors and nurses in the sanatorium, and he froze for a few seconds.

My strength... doesn't seem to be innate... If it really were innate, how could I have been pinned down and tied up on the operating table by those doctors and nurses...

Thinking of this, Yu Shijiu's eyes changed repeatedly, but the last thing she said was, "It's innate."

Yu Shijiu said without batting an eye (pretending to): "I think I was very strong when I was little - um, I was the one who dragged my mother's body out of the bathtub back then."

He Lingling, Xu Han, and Lu Chusheng: "..."

The emotions of all three froze instantly because of Yu Shijiu's words. Lu Chusheng even followed his animal instincts and pressed himself against Yu Shijiu's thigh, rubbing against it carefully.

He Lingling's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She felt a little guilty and unsure of what to say. She opened her mouth and said:

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to—"

"fine."

Yu Shijiu noticed her guilt, shrugged nonchalantly, and said:

"I've almost forgotten how I felt back then, Sister Lingling, you don't need to try to comfort me—by the way, did the 'guest' who pulled you into the room lay a hand on you?"

"……No."

At this point, He Lingling's expression turned serious, and she shook her head, saying, "Aside from the somewhat dubious 'story' she told at the beginning, she ultimately asked me for help."

Help?

Yu Shijiu raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when Xu Han interrupted, "Another call for help? Good heavens, are we that lucky? It's always these non-threatening 'guests' who come to us..."

"..." Yu Shijiu was silent for a few seconds, but still did not tell the specific details of the fat man she had encountered.

"More or less," Yu Shijiu said vaguely, "It's pretty good."

Lu Chusheng, the only one who knew the inside story, remained silent and continued to nuzzle his head like a cat.

"You too?"

He Lingling's eyes widened, and she frowned, saying, "We can't possibly save all the 'guests' here, can we?"

She didn't believe that all the "guests" here were "good".

To get to the bottom of it, the short-haired female passenger claimed that she was innocently tricked into boarding the ship—but among those who boarded the ship, apart from the employees who were genuinely working hard to earn a living, the rest of the "guests" were actually there for "enjoyment."

I heard that there is "pleasure" on this ship that allows one to indulge their desires, which is why I boarded it.

He Lingling believes that the short-haired female customer may indeed have been "deceived".

But she must have witnessed many instances of "second-tier employees" being suppressed and abused... He Lingling dared not blindly assume that the short-haired female customer would step in to save people, after all, in the eyes of most people in power, the lives and dignity of the lower class are not worth mentioning.
