Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 655 Partnering

Shi Yuan felt conflicted, but still said, "Let go."

He Lingling shook her head: "I'll let go as soon as we go together."

Seeing that the two seemed about to fight, Sun Qin, who had been watching silently for a long time without daring to interrupt, tremblingly raised her hand:

"Um, should I stay in this room alone?"

Honestly... she felt that being alone was even scarier.

—Although what these two people are about to do is more dangerous.

“How about,” Sun Qin swallowed and whispered, “I can join too—”

"not so good."

Shi Yuanqi laughed. She couldn't understand why someone else wanted to "courte themselves" and couldn't even pull He Lingling's hand.

"Tonight might not be safe—"

"It's definitely safe."

He Lingling interrupted Shi Yuan and calmly said, "I can guarantee that none of the three of us will die."

Shi Yuan: "You guarantee it? How can you guarantee it?"

"here."

He Lingling raised her hand and tapped her temple, her finger twitching slightly at the corner of her eye.

"I can feel."

"..."

Shi Yuan was speechless for a moment when he thought of He Lingling's innate skills.

"Then, then I'll go too?"

Sun Qin, barely daring to breathe, interjected again, "Is it not appropriate for me to be here alone? I wasn't with you guys last night..."

Sun Qin felt a little ashamed just thinking about it, and lowered her head, saying, "Take me with you..."

"No."

Before Shi Yuan could speak, He Lingling directly refused, saying, "Wu Huimin might come back."

He Lingling: "Sun Qin, you may need to stay in the room and wait for her."

Sun Qin: "..."

She was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Huh? I'm going to have to stay in the room alone?!"

"Don't worry, you're safe."

He Lingling comforted him, "I estimate that this room on the second floor is the safest right now."

Having said all that, Sun Qin had no choice but to remain silent and nod.

"Ok."

Sun Qin thought carefully about how she could help... but it was really insignificant. It would be better for her to stay quietly in her room and not be a burden.

“That’s settled then,” He Lingling said quickly. “Shi Yuan and I will go to Mr. Yao’s room now. Sun Qin, what about you…”

He Lingling pondered for a moment and said, "I suggest you just fall asleep, the deeper the better, ideally with someone right next to you watching you so you won't wake up."

Sun Qin: "..."

Sun Qin's eyes widened: "I...I might not be able to do it. Sister He, do you mean Wu Huimin will do that later?"

"It's just a guess."

He Lingling comforted her, "Just consider it a heads-up. Don't overthink it. Just get some rest and sleep. Shi Yuan and I should be back soon."

What could Sun Qin say? She couldn't say anything, so she could only nod and drag her stiff, numb hands to the bathroom for a quick shower.

When Sun Qin came out of the bathroom, He Lingling and Shi Yuan were gone.

Sun Qin stared blankly at the tightly closed door, sighed, and silently climbed into bed to force herself to fall asleep.

— Just like He Lingling said, maybe you won't be afraid if you sleep soundly. After all, you can stretch your body and relax your fear without any restraint if you can't feel anything.

--------

While Sun Qin was forcing herself to sleep, He Lingling and Shi Yuan were already on their way to Mr. Yao's room.

"Is it the one at the end of the corridor near the dance floor?"

Surprisingly, Mr. Yao's room was located in the area closest to the dance floor; the dance floor was visible as soon as the door was opened.

"Yes."

Shi Yuan nodded: "This is the location he told me about."

"Mr. Yao's position on the second floor should not be very high."

He Lingling was somewhat surprised by Shi Yuan's words, "Why do you say that?"

"..." Shi Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still said:

“In places like this, which are outside the control of the law, people generally prefer a quieter spot. Apart from people who need to keep doing things or making arrangements, most guests probably don’t like to be too close to the dance floor.”

In short, while the dance floor may be fun and exciting at first, if guests see this recreational area as soon as they open the door, they will feel like "servants" of a lower class.

“Your idea…” He Lingling was a little unsure what to say: “It’s a bit strange.”

"It's very strange."

Shi Yuan smiled slightly upon hearing this, but his expression remained indifferent: "But that's what those guests think."

"Ok."

He Lingling shrugged and sighed, "I guess I'm just too poor to understand what you rich people are thinking."

"I don't understand either."

Shih Yuan: "But sometimes when you're in the thick of it, you have no choice but to mingle with them."

"..."

He Lingling noticed He Lingling's sudden drop in mood and cleverly changed the subject:

"So what are we supposed to say when we go in?"

"……do not know."

Shi Yuan told the truth: "I came to see Mr. Yao just to see how the plot should continue."

"That makes sense." He Lingling nodded with a smile.

"I was thinking that Mr. Yao might have something that could help us slow down the contamination—but now it seems I can only share the same thought as you."

When He Lingling brought up the topic of "polluting sheep", Shi Yuan's heart stirred.

"So, what can prevent us from being polluted?"

Shi Yuan finally asked the question.

"Goat milk".

He Lingling had no intention of hiding anything; she had no intention of concealing it from the moment she brought it up—this was with Yu Shijiu's tacit approval.

"Goat milk..."

Shi Yuan silently repeated those two words, and when he thought of Yu Shijiu and the others waving at He Lingling in the dance floor, he understood.

This is the clue that Yu Shijiu and his team discovered.

“But the supply of goat milk is likely limited,” He Lingling continued, “so we should avoid contamination as much as possible, lest we become delirious at the last minute and be automatically ‘dead’ by Dawn, which would be disastrous.”

"..." Shi Yuan chuckled: "Dawn Games probably wouldn't do that, would they?"

"Who knows?"

He Lingling laughed along, "We're all just mortals, how can we expect everything to be so rosy?"

"……Too."

"...If you ask me..."

"..."

As the two spoke softly to ease their fear and panic, they arrived at Mr. Yao's room...

He Lingling and Shi Yuan simultaneously looked up at the seemingly ordinary door in front of them and said in unison:

"I'll knock on the door."

"..."

The two exchanged a glance, and He Lingling naturally made a "please" gesture.

"Then come on."

He Lingling: "I won't fight you for it."

Shi Yuan: "..."
