Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 693 The Lock Cylinder is Broken

The stench of decay and rot at the entrance to the lower deck was getting stronger and stronger.

This was Yu Shijiu's first thought after entering the lower deck.

Could it be that there are more dead sea fish now?

Yu Shijiu wrinkled his nose, supporting himself against the soft, strangely textured wall as he descended, hearing the sound of "Feifei" cleverly closing the bottom hatch with its paws behind him.

"Fatty, you're awesome."

After habitually praising Fei Fei, Yu Shijiu, who had gone downstairs early, walked very quickly and finally found the location to turn on the light.

There was a snap.

As the not-so-bright light came on, Yu Shijiu squinted and looked in the direction of the strong, pungent smell of mutton.

Behind the railing, the somewhat disheveled goats looked up at him, their tired and cold eyes showing no sign of diminishing.

"Still locked up?"

The sight of the goats still obediently kept behind the railing surprised Yu Shijiu. He had thought that these goats, which were clearly another representation of the "guests" and "waiters," had long since been running around all over the lower deck.

Lu Chusheng, who rushed to his side, looked up and his expression instantly became complicated.

...So, the little madman knew that the lower deck was likely the most dangerous place, yet he still came alone?

Lu Chusheng took her back by himself—after all, he was still there.

"Could it be that we can't get out?"

Yu Shijiu peered out from the railing with some displeasure, watching the "goats" move their horizontal pupils in the direction of his gaze, and strangely felt a sense of amusement.

Seeing that Yu Shijiu seemed to be searching for clues, Lu Chusheng hesitated for a moment, then ran to a corner to rummage around.

The clothes and fabrics he had pulled out were still piled up in the corner, some even covered in soft, sticky, dirty stains that couldn't be cleaned off.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the pile of fabric, Lu Chusheng stopped rummaging through it and slowly walked toward Yu Shijiu, who was already itching to open the gate.

Yu Shijiu had already taken out the key, and just as he was about to insert it into the lock, the sound of footsteps behind him made him turn around.

"Did you find anything else?"

Yu Shijiu asked with a smile, only to receive a very unhappy (in his own opinion) shake of his head from "Feifei".

"There's not much of a plot, so it's normal that you can't find it."

Yu Shijiu casually comforted him, "Should we go in and play with the cute little lambs? They look a bit lonely."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He stared intently and in astonishment at the goats behind the fence several times—they looked so familiar, hadn't they?!

This wasn't just something Lu Chusheng made up. Thanks to Feifei's eyes, he saw that almost all the goats had varying degrees of injury and blood on them. Their white wool was congealed into clumps of black blood, and coupled with the goats' eerie gazes, the scene was undeniably terrifying.

Lu Chusheng suspected that Yu Shijiu hadn't seen it clearly at all.

—Otherwise, even if he were crazy, he wouldn't say those goats were cute...right?

Lu Chusheng was actually a little unsure.

But as it turns out, Yu Shijiu really didn't see it clearly.

Because Yu Shijiu discovered that the lock cylinder was broken.

The worst kind of bad.

Yu Shijiu paused slightly, his eyes slowly narrowing.

The lock cylinder is broken... So, are these goats locked behind the fence really unable to get out?

At this moment, a strange excitement and a sense of entitlement spread from the depths of his brain, stimulating Yu Shijiu from head to toe.

this means--

Sensing something was wrong, Lu Chusheng rushed towards Yu Shijiu. The already broken lock, thrown carelessly by Yu Shijiu, suddenly fell to the ground with a clang.

A sound.

Lu Chusheng bit the corner of Yu Shijiu's clothes.

The goats that had been slowly approaching from behind the railing had bloodshot eyes, and their endless malice and chilling aura seemed to penetrate the railing and fall on the man and the cat.

Lu Chusheng felt a chill in his heart.

"……Meow."

It's time for them to go.

Yu Shijiu was pulled back a step by him.

The next second, terrifying bleating sounds of sheep of varying degrees filled the entire lower deck, like the wails of a young child in extreme pain, piercing the eardrums and making everyone's heart tremble.

"……Walk."

Yu Shijiu licked his lips and retreated step by step, gripping the axe tightly in his right hand as he backed towards the stairs.

—He didn't really want to back down, but Feifei really wanted to, so let's not fight it out.

Yu Shijiu thought nonchalantly—he still wanted to see if he would run into his mother in the guild competition.

What if he accidentally dies from overdosing? He should at least see his mother one last time.

With this thought in mind, Yu Shijiu couldn't help but show some regret. He still really wanted to fight these goats and see if they would turn into human corpses after their heads were cut off.

Pity.

What a pity.

Yu Shijiu, who was almost out of the railing area, felt as if a thousand pounds were under his feet.

Lu Chusheng, who was pulling him, was speechless.

Too obvious.

Is it possible to do something slightly less obvious?

It's impossible.

They watched helplessly as countless goats angrily broke through the fence, the chains clanging loudly, and the goats' hooves seemed to move like a thousand horses galloping.

"..."

That's too late.

Lu Chusheng sighed almost imperceptibly, released his grip on Yu Shijiu's clothes, and prepared to rush out—"Then there's nothing I can do, you guys rushed here yourselves!"

Lu Chusheng watched Yu Shijiu's retreating figure as she charged into the flock of sheep with an axe, her face expressionless.

One, two, three... forty.

Yu Shijiu swung the blood-stained axe so fast it was almost a blur, and the goats howled as their severed limbs and heads flew up one after another.

Lu Chusheng felt he should be angry and needed to express his helplessness... but he didn't.

He simply stood still, and when he saw some goat-like monsters trying to ambush him, he suddenly rushed forward and bit their necks hard!

As the man and cat retreated to the stairs, their biting and tearing antics continuing, Yu Shijiu, his eyes bloodshot with rage, watched the goat-like monsters begin to twist and resurrect, his lips trembling slowly—

"Meow!"

Lu Chusheng bumped into his thigh.

Yu Shijiu: "Ouch! That hurts!"

Lu Chusheng: "..."

Yu Shijiu blinked, watching "Feifei's" heroic figure as he killed the monster, and finally went up the stairs and started running towards the bottom hatch.

Seeing that the little madman was finally willing to run away, Lu Chusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He bit off a goat monster that charged at him, its body torn to pieces, and nimbly leaped over more of the charging goat monsters, quickly catching up with Yu Shijiu.

After exiting the lower deck, both the person and the cat remained in place.

When I went into the lower deck, it was a murky and dark night, but when I came out, it was a bright and sunny day.
