Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 193 Sin (Part 1)

I remember arriving in Changsheng Village in the summer.

Yang Wan and a few friends planned a trip right after graduation. They wanted to visit some popular tourist attractions online, but the high cost deterred them.

"What should we do? Where should we go? There's nothing fun around here..."

My friend is a girl with a rather irritable temper. She seemed a bit annoyed that having to choose between different options when going out to play made her very impatient.

The friends next to each other exchanged glances, and hesitated before saying:

"How about we wait until we've saved up enough money before we go?"

"...Probably not," Yang Wan sighed after roughly calculating their working hours and the number of days they went out to play.

"We can only stay for a month at most before we have to come back and find work. Our families won't let us stay away from home for that long."

"..."

The group fell silent instantly.

Two of the boys hesitated for a moment, "How about we don't go for now, and we can go together again after we've started working and earned some money?"

Feifei, a girl with a bad temper, sighed and hesitated.

"Actually, it's not that it's impossible, but like Wanwan thought, I'm also worried about whether we'll still have time to go out and play in the future..."

Once you graduate and start working, it won't be so easy to go out and have fun anymore.

None of them were students from wealthy families, and as the conversation continued, the atmosphere became increasingly gloomy.

Just as they were about to give up on their graduation trip plans, Yang Wan came across a tourist attraction on her phone.

It is a very old village.

It is said that the scenery is very beautiful. Because it has been isolated from the world for a long time, the village still retains many traces of the past. Both the houses and the scenery are in a state of beauty that has never been developed.

It hasn't been developed... which means the cost of living in that area must be low.

Yang Wan quickly scrolled through the promotional videos on her phone, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Such an affordable and beautiful place is truly perfect.

"How about we go to this place?"

Yang Wan excitedly picked up her phone to show her friends, "I think the scenery here is nice, and I heard that the elderly people there are very kind and honest. If we go, the cost will probably be very low."

"It's just a village, isn't it?" The rather hot-tempered girl clearly didn't want to go, but after some discussion, she finally nodded.

"But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter where we go, the main thing is that we have to go out and have fun together."

"That's right. It's not the place you go that matters, it's the people you go with."

"..."

After deciding on a location, Yang Wan and a few friends agreed on a departure time and returned home with all her belongings from her four years of university.

After returning home, Yang Wan glanced at the recommended attractions on the video several times, flipping through them repeatedly before closing her eyes in satisfaction and going to sleep.

Hmm, I'm going to go out and have fun in a couple of days, with my friends...

This is what 22-year-old Yang Wan is most looking forward to.

Yes, that was the thing she regretted most later.

If she hadn't suggested the trip to Changsheng Village, her friends wouldn't have died one after another at that so-called beautiful and cheap tourist spot.

------

A corrupt ancestral hall.

When Yang Wan slowly regained consciousness from her dazed state, she saw the "God of Changsheng Village" devouring a corpse that was only half-dead.

The corpse had huge backpacks on its back, which kept hanging in mid-air as the "god" gnawed at them.

Finally, "God" began to feel irritated. It suddenly bit down on the cumbersome backpack, and as it chewed with its sharp teeth, it began to writhe and vomit wildly as if it had been poisoned.

The scene was terrifying.

It's disgusting too.

A giant earthworm with the face of a beautiful woman, "tourists" whose bodies have been bitten down to half their original size, and earthworm corpses dried up everywhere.

The stench and slimy, fishy smell in the air almost made Yang Wan vomit like a "goddess".

But she is no longer human.

Yang Wan herself knew this.

She slowly touched her face, and the deep wrinkles on her face made her laugh, but her smile was particularly ugly and distorted.

What is she laughing at?

She laughed at herself for being foolish and stupid, but at the same time she hated herself for choosing a "cursed" village for her graduation trip, which ultimately led to the deaths of her best friends in the village of immortality.

Yang Wan always felt guilty.

The kind of sin that is unforgivable.

But ironically, she is still "alive".

As Yang Wan gradually regained the ability to move her twisted legs, the strangely shaped and disgusting old people around her slowly "woke up".

As they gazed at the completely destroyed ancestral hall, their eyes falling upon the dried earthworm corpses around them, they let out sharp, mournful cries.

"Why! Why did we fail?! The village chief clearly said that the previous groups of villagers all succeeded! They were all able to successfully leave Changsheng Village! Why can't we!"

"How could it possibly fail! Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible! This is impossible!"

"Come back to life! Come back to life!!!" This was the old man, unable to bear the blow, kneeling on the ground and desperately sweeping the dried earthworms together.

"Why is this happening? We should have been able to succeed..."

The old woman next to Yang Wan spoke in a trembling voice, her tone revealing an unconcealable despair.

Yang Wan froze, then slowly turned her head to meet the eyes of the old woman whose head had been partially shaved off.

"Feifei—"

Yang Wan called out instinctively.

"Don't call me!"

The old woman's eyes widened suddenly. From the side of her skull that had been split open, wriggling pink earthworm larvae were emerging, but she seemed oblivious, only screaming desperately:

"You're a sinner! You're the one who killed them all! Why aren't you dead? Huh? How come you, the culprit, are still alive?!"

Feifei was hurling insults at Yang Wan, but Yang Wan only felt her heart pounding.

Bang, bang bang——

She instinctively reached for her heart, but couldn't feel any heartbeat at all.

Yes, if I'm no longer a "human," how could I possibly have a "heart" that only humans have?

The insults from Feifei faded into the distance. When Yang Wan finally snapped out of her auditory hallucinations, she saw Feifei and the old people hunching over as they left the ancestral hall.

Yang Wan subconsciously took a step forward.

"They still want to find a body double."

A woman's hoarse voice came from behind Yang Wan. The tone was strange, with a sticky, wet sound.

Yang Wan turned around and met the gaze of the "God Lord" who had been hanging his head.

The latter, a beautiful woman, had a face as pale as paper, with purplish-red cracks beginning to appear on her cheeks.

Out of her biological instincts, Yang Wan took a step back in fear.

“Don’t be afraid,” the woman’s mouth moved, and she seemed to sigh.

"I am now human consciousness."
