Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 210 Crazy

The little boy, barely taller than his thigh, walked up the stairs, holding onto the handrail as he made his way to his mother's room, finally stopping at the door that wasn't fully closed.

"Mother?"

The little boy peered through the crack in the door, but couldn't see his mother in the bedroom.

He bit his lip nervously, then hesitantly pushed open the door and went inside.

crunch--

The sound of the door opening was like the sharp, grating sound of fingernails scratching against a door panel, giving one goosebumps.

The little boy suddenly felt a sense of fear.

He swallowed hard; his small body seemed tiny in the enormous bedroom.

"Mother?"

The little boy called out again.

"We should go eat dumplings now, Mom. Did you forget that they were steaming dumplings in the kitchen just now?"

The little boy called out "Mommy" in a childish voice, and even shook the lukewarm steamed dumplings in his hand.

No one responded to him.

Is Mom not in her room?

The little boy tilted his head, and just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the bathroom door that wasn't fully closed in the distance.

"?"

The little boy seemed to remember something. His round, almond-shaped eyes darted around, finally curving into a crescent shape.

Is Mom going to play hide-and-seek with me again?

He laughed happily and tiptoed toward the bathroom door.

"mom!"

I've found you!

Along with the opening of the bathroom door, a strong, sweet, and fishy smell wafted out.

The little boy didn't know what the smell was. He sniffed the somewhat pungent odor and peeked towards the bathroom door.

The showerhead in the bathroom wasn't turned off properly, and the dripping sound echoed throughout the empty and quiet space, like a duet of fishy smell and water droplets.

The little boy saw the red in the bathtub through the hazy frosted glass door of the bathroom. He slowly widened his eyes and thought of the dress his mother wore when she got up to make dumplings this morning.

It's a very beautiful red dress; the hem of the skirt looks like flower petals fluttering when it turns.

He thought his mother was waiting for him inside.

So the little boy pushed open the frosted glass door.

tick-

tick-

Tick ​​tock tick tock——

The water from the showerhead dripped down like transparent pearls, finally landing on the crimson carpet of blood, splashing up beautiful, swirling droplets of blood.

The little boy was stunned.

Inside the bathtub, his mother, dressed in a red dress, stared at him with her eyes open. Her wrist, hanging by the side of the tub, had been cut open with a deep wound that exposed the bone.

The crimson flesh around the wound was turned outwards, revealing the stark white bone. The continuous dripping of blood and the sound of water dripping from the shower mingled together... It sounded awful, so awful, so awful.

"..."

The little boy stood there, stunned.

When he witnessed his mother slitting her wrists and dying in the bathtub, he was still holding a steamed dumpling that his mother had made not long ago.

The bright red of blood mingled with the aroma of dumplings. The mother's eyes were still wide open as she stared at her child at the bathroom door. Those almond-shaped eyes, which should have been beautiful and lively, were now lifeless.

Little Yu Shijiu stood at the doorway, looking at his mother, whose face was pale in the bathtub, somewhat bewildered, yet slowly approaching her.

"Mother?"

The little boy whispered, "Get up and eat dumplings..."

No one responded to him.

No one responded to him.

No one answered him!

Suddenly, his past memories began to swirl, and Yu Shijiu began to mechanically put on a smile. He picked up the soup bowl in front of him, tilted his head back, and quickly drank a large bowl of noodle soup. He even started grabbing dumplings with his bare hands and stuffing them into his mouth.

"These dumplings are delicious, really delicious..."

So Mom, please wake up! Wake up and eat dumplings with Shi Jiu, okay?

Shi Jiu is such a good girl, she doesn't run around and eats her meals obediently... so why is that?

Why aren't you responding to me?

"What the hell?!"

Xu Han, who couldn't catch Yu Shijiu at all, shouted, "What's wrong with him? Is he crazy? This can't be eaten anymore!"

Chen Yi was so anxious that cold sweat poured down his forehead. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling helpless as if he wanted to activate his talent skill but couldn't.

His innate skill is only a defensive support skill, which can resist Yu Shijiu's attacks, but cannot bring the opponent to their senses.

Now, Yu Shijiu has clearly "gone mad" without any warning.

Fatty, who was dozing downstairs, suddenly woke up. He looked up at the noisy second floor, a hint of worry flashing in his dark green eyes, and jumped off the sofa in an instant.

Just as Yu Shijiu's eyes began to redden, An Jie, who hadn't moved an inch, suddenly reached out and chopped at the back of his neck—

It missed; Yu Shijiu dodged it.

Anjie: "..."

This is the advantage of being an offensive player; it's really difficult to launch a successful sneak attack based on instinct, especially during times when you might activate your special abilities at any moment, unless you also...

After a few seconds of silence, Anjie still chose not to confront them head-on.

"I'm fine. As long as I finish these dumplings, Mom will wake up..."

Yu Shijiu swayed and shook off Xu Han, who was trying to help him, his eyes empty and mechanical.

"I understand, I understand, I understand!"

Yu Shijiu curled his lips into a maniacal smile and burst into laughter.

"As long as... as long as I kill everyone—"

"Meow meow meow meow meow!!!!"

A series of urgent and panicked meows suddenly rang out from the stairwell, and then a yellow cat, whose huge afterimage could only be seen, pounced on Yu Shijiu.

With a "thump".

Yu Shijiu, who had gone mad, was suddenly knocked unconscious by Feifei. The fire axe that had just appeared in his hand, now broken in half, fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"..."

Ange closed her eyes.

An Jie, who was about to take action, frowned. She slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and quickly said to Xu Han:

"Help Shi Jiu go to her room to rest for a while."

As for the food on the table that inexplicably drove Yu Shijiu mad... she decided to leave it for the time being.

Xu Han shuddered. He looked at Yu Shijiu, who was lying quietly on the ground, swallowed, and slowly squatted down to help her up.

...How come everything was fine for a moment, and then suddenly, it became abnormal?

This isn't a game instance... everyone's doing fine, isn't that right...?

The chubby guy, still sitting on Yu Shijiu's chest, was all bristling and baring his teeth.

"Meow meow meow!!"

Don't come any closer! You bad guys are meowing away!

Yu Shijiu was perfectly fine when she arrived, how did she become like this after just one meal?!

Xu Han was startled and took a step back, looking pleadingly at An Jie and Chen Yi beside her:

"...It, it seems to be preventing me from touching Shi Jiu..."

Anjie had a headache and was about to speak when she heard Chen Yi sigh.

"We didn't do anything."

Chen Yi was also very upset, as he genuinely liked Yu Shijiu.

"He seems to be..." Chen Yi thought carefully about what had just happened and confirmed that Yu Shijiu only started to go crazy after he asked him if he had eaten.

"Is it because I questioned your appetite that you've become like this?"
