Death Draw System: Infinite Revives in the Horror Dungeon

Shen Yu gently placed the rattle into Yun Han’s trembling hands.

"If you ever feel scared..."

"If your heart hurts..."

"Just shake this."

He smiled softly.

"Mom and Dad will come to take you home."

Yun Han lowered her head.

"My... rattle..."

She stared blankly at the familiar toy resting in her palms.

Her tiny fingers slowly tightened around it.

For a long moment...

She said nothing.

Then—

[Ding!]

[Yun Han’s Favorability +15]

[Current Favorability: 65]

Footsteps echoed from outside the courtyard.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

Old Wang and his wife hurried back after hearing their son’s shouting.

Before they reached them, Shen Yu leaned close to Yun Han and whispered quietly.

"If you can’t escape..."

"Then don’t run."

The little girl blinked.

"Huh?"

Shen Yu forced a faint smile.

"At least..."

"They won’t beat you so badly."

Yun Han looked up at him in surprise.

Her large eyes were filled with confusion.

She didn’t understand why this strange older brother...

Seemed to know everything.

By the time the couple entered the courtyard, Shen Yu’s expression had already changed completely.

The warmth disappeared.

In its place was the smile of a seasoned businessman.

He walked forward naturally.

"So you’re the Wang family."

"We’re here to take over the previous supplier’s route."

Old Wang’s eyes lit up.

"Oh?"

"You know the business?"

Shen Yu chuckled.

"Of course."

"Men."

"Women."

"Young."

"Old."

"Pretty."

"Ordinary."

"As long as you have money..."

"I can find whoever you want."

His calm confidence immediately dispelled most of the couple’s doubts.

The old woman eagerly stepped forward.

"We need someone who can work."

"A sturdy girl."

"Strong enough for farm work."

Old Wang nodded repeatedly.

"Yes."

"The previous one wasn’t obedient."

"This one has to listen."

Shen Yu crossed his arms.

"No problem."

"So..."

"What’s your budget?"

The two exchanged glances before smiling warmly.

"Friend."

"Come inside."

"We’ll discuss it properly."

The couple respectfully led Shen Yu into the main house.

Outside...

Mo Han, Luxian, and Tai Shan stood frozen.

The three stared at each other.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Mo Han finally spoke.

"No way..."

"He..."

"He acts like he’s been here before."

Luxian immediately shook her head.

"Impossible."

"The last time Hezang Village appeared..."

"Shen Yu was still locked inside Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital."

"He couldn’t possibly know this place."

Mo Han frowned.

"Then why..."

"Why does he look like he’s returned home?"

No one had an answer.

Unable to figure it out, Mo Han decided to quietly search the courtyard for clues.

Unfortunately—

Clang.

Clang.

Clang.

Several villagers carrying rusty shovels slowly surrounded the yard.

Their expressions were cold.

Their gazes filled with suspicion.

Mo Han’s face instantly turned pale.

Without another word...

He obediently retreated into a corner.

Moments later—

Something unbelievable happened.

One after another...

The villagers walked toward Shen Yu with bright smiles.

"Friend!"

"I want a female college student!"

"I want one with wide hips!"

"So she can bear lots of children!"

"I want twins!"

"I’ll pay extra!"

The villagers who had looked ready to kill them just moments earlier were now smiling so broadly that wrinkles covered their faces.

The contrast left Mo Han completely speechless.

"What..."

"What the hell..."

"The future never mentioned this..."

Time quietly passed.

The crimson glow of sunset gradually disappeared beneath the distant mountains.

The lively courtyard slowly became eerily silent.

Dark clouds rolled across the sky.

Cold moonlight descended over Hezang Village.

Then—

Buzz—

The world distorted once more.

The scenery blurred before everyone’s eyes.

When Shen Yu opened his eyes again...

He found himself standing once more at the entrance of the Wang family’s courtyard.

Pop!

Pop!

Pop!

The deafening sound of firecrackers exploded around them.

Inside the courtyard...

Round banquet tables had already been arranged around the enormous red coffin pit.

The atmosphere was festive.

Yet horrifying.

Every villager sitting at the banquet held a gravestone in their arms.

Some smiled.

Some chatted.

Some laughed.

As though carrying tombstones to a wedding banquet was perfectly normal.

Mo Han instinctively took several steps backward.

"What..."

"What is this?"

"The village..."

"It changes at night?"

His scalp tingled.

Without hesitation, he activated his Future Echo.

The familiar fragmented whispers once again echoed inside his ears.

Fish head...

Fish tail...

Pig heart...

Dare you disobey my orders...

Mo Han’s eyes widened.

"My ability..."

"It’s back!"

A grin immediately spread across his face.

He looked toward Shen Yu.

"Good."

"Now let me see..."

"How exactly you survive until the end."

He grabbed Tai Shan’s sleeve.

"Come."

"We’ll take the safest seat first."

But before he could move—

Shen Yu had already acted.

Without the slightest hesitation...

He grabbed Luxian’s wrist.

"Come with me."

"Huh?"

Before she could react...

He led her straight toward the corner banquet table.

Unlike before...

He deliberately avoided the seats marked by the fish head and fish tail.

Instead...

He chose two ordinary seats beside an elderly villager.

Only after sitting down did Shen Yu finally turn toward Luxian.

His voice was low.

"Whatever happens next..."

"Don’t touch the fish."

"And don’t question anything I do."

Luxian stared at him for several long seconds.

The confidence in Shen Yu’s eyes...

Made it seem as though he had experienced this banquet countless times before.

"Hey!"

A rough voice suddenly rang out.

"Outsiders aren’t allowed to sit."

"You stand."

The moment the villager spoke, Luxian’s body froze.

"..."

She slowly turned toward Shen Yu.

"You..."

"How did you know?"

Her voice was filled with disbelief.

"You really..."

"You’ve never been to Hezang Village before?"

It was obviously me...

I was the one who heard the future.

Luxian’s thoughts were in complete disarray.

This was supposed to be everyone’s first time entering the dungeon.

Yet Shen Yu behaved as though he had rehearsed every single step countless times.

Without hesitation...

Without doubt...

He had chosen the only safe seat.

The old villager beside him merely glanced over before lowering his head again, showing no intention of driving him away.

Luxian cautiously tried to sit beside him.

Instantly—

Dozens of icy gazes landed on her.

Her scalp tingled.

She hurriedly stood back up.

Only then did those terrifying eyes slowly withdraw.

Her breathing became uneven.

Everything...

Everything Shen Yu had said...

Had been correct.

She stared at him.

"Shen Yu..."

"What exactly are you?"

Shen Yu merely smiled faintly.

"Relax."

"This banquet..."

"Will be over soon."

Luxian almost laughed from disbelief.

"Over soon?"

"We only just arrived."

"How can it end already?"

"Are you..."

"Speedrunning an S-Rank dungeon?"

To her...

Everything Shen Yu did was simply outrageous.

He entered the dungeon for the first time.

Yet he knew every danger...

Every trap...

Every safe choice...

It was as though he possessed the walkthrough to the entire instance.

Shen Yu ignored her question.

His eyes never left the crimson coffin at the center of the courtyard.

Beneath the scarlet bridal veil...

A pair of misty eyes quietly watched him.

Neither hatred.

Nor resentment.

Only longing.

Above Yun Han’s head...

The familiar pink heart floated gently.

Favorability: 65

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes.

If I climbed into that coffin this time...

She probably wouldn’t hurt me anymore.

Maybe...

Even if I crossed certain boundaries...

She would still forgive me.

That thought lasted only a second.

He immediately discarded it.

No.

That’s not why I came back.

This loop has another purpose.

"Damn it, Shen Yu!"

Mo Han’s annoyed voice suddenly echoed across the courtyard.

"You bastard!"

"How did you know not to sit in those two seats?"

Grumbling to himself, he dragged Tai Shan toward another empty table.

Just to be safe...

He stuffed a villager’s child into Tai Shan’s arms before sitting down.

Only then did he glare suspiciously at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu simply smiled.

"Mo Han."

"If you want to clear this dungeon quickly..."

"Listen carefully."

Mo Han snorted.

"Hah."

"Since when did you become the leader?"

"I’m warning you—"

Before he could finish...

Shen Yu calmly interrupted.

"Activate your Future Echo."

"Right now."

"Listen carefully to every voice that appears inside this courtyard."

Mo Han blinked.

"...What?"

"You..."

"How do you know about my ability?"

His pupils shrank violently.

He had never revealed his talent to anyone.

Not even Luxian knew exactly what his ability did.

Yet Shen Yu had named it without hesitation.

Fear quietly crept into Mo Han’s heart.

Who...

Who exactly is this guy?

Just as the atmosphere became tense—

Bang!

A villager sitting beside Mo Han slammed his palm onto the table.

The loud noise instantly silenced everyone nearby.

The middle-aged man slowly raised his head.

His cloudy eyes stared directly into Mo Han’s face.

"What are you whispering about?"

"This is a wedding banquet."

"If you don’t follow the rules..."

His lips slowly curled into a chilling smile.

"You’ll become..."

"The next dish served on the table."

The noisy courtyard instantly fell silent.

Even the firecrackers outside seemed distant.

Mo Han’s throat bobbed.

"..."

He obediently shut his mouth.

Only then did the villager slowly withdraw his terrifying gaze.

Across the table...

Shen Yu quietly picked up his chopsticks.

Without looking up, he spoke in an almost inaudible voice.

"I told you."

"If you want to survive..."

"Listen first."

"Ask questions later."

Mo Han stared at him for a long moment.

For the first time since entering Hezang Village...

He silently did exactly as Shen Yu instructed.

Closing his eyes...

He activated Future Echo.
