Your type of online game is too fake, right?

Arturia couldn't help trembling.

On the road of chasing and killing the devil, she also unknowingly turned into the same appearance.

"how about you?"

Arturia couldn't help raising her head, looking at the young swordsman in the image.

"What will you look like again?"

The swordsman won seven battles, he changed Japan: Chapter 117, Chapter 110, Chapter [-] Days to Come ([-] words)

Three years later, Kyoto.

The once tall and luxurious imperial palace has disappeared, and only the ruins of the ruins are left here. Since I heard that many people died here, and no one is willing to come here, so in just three years, this piece of land has been destroyed. Overgrown with weeds, it has become a paradise for small animals such as foxes and mice.

"But don't be too careless. I heard that there are several litters of wolf cubs here. They were really taken away, but no one can save you."

The leading man was carrying a shovel, teaching the young men behind him a lesson, and after looking at the hoes and picks with shattered steel edges in their hands, they all admitted that the little thing in their hands was really not very good. It is easy to face hordes of wolves.

So it's better to get together in groups, at least it's safe enough.

Of course, it’s not that there are no bold people who want to go alone. After all, everyone’s share is definitely not as refreshing as eating alone, but after hearing a few howls of wolves, these bold people still suppressed this danger. idea.

"That's right, that's right. Everyone wants to make money, and I want to live alone, but money is something that you have to earn, so you have to spend it."

Seeing that everyone was already united, the leading man couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Fortunately, at least he was able to persuade him, otherwise he might end up empty-handed in this quest line if he only relied on his own words.

After all, this quest line is really too weird.

As an experienced veteran player, he can confirm that what he entered is definitely the Toyo mission line, but when he was about to cosplay the Toyo Samurai, he found that it was not the case at all.

Not to mention the samurai, even the emperor is gone, now this land has become a fighting field for warlords, soldiers with rifles squatting in the trenches and fighting passionately - although this old player He also thought about whether to go to the battlefield for a while, but the scene of heavy artillery fire directly dispelled his thoughts.

Can't fight, this really can't be fought, he has a little understanding of the battlefield after experiencing the novice mission line, this level of battle is completely out of his reach - even if he has already been fighting in the previous few mission lines With good attainments, those skills in hand-to-hand combat and cold weapon slashing are completely unable to cope with this kind of scene.

In the war in the era of hot weapons, soldiers have been reduced to consumables on the battlefield. If he dares to go directly, the best ending will only become a number on the death list.

So after much deliberation, the old player decided to settle for the next best thing and forget about getting some benefits.

And now is the time for him to reap the benefits.

The ruins of the imperial palace, this kind of place, you can tell that there must be treasures. Although the soldiers from the East have searched here many times during the three years of warlord melee, there are always some places that they can’t find—even if you take ten thousand steps back He directly recruited people to pry some city bricks and sell them, which could also be exchanged for some Jin Xiaoping.

This is the wisdom of old players. As long as you have an idea, you can always get some benefits.

Going home empty-handed is a symbol of stupidity, and at the last time he has to take some gold coins with him. This is his insistence as an old player.

But even if it's just to earn some gold coins, it's still a bit intense.

The main reason is that this game is too real, from modeling to the overall look and feel, and of course the npc's intelligence of the hell - if it is put in other games, if he needs to call people, he only needs to click it, No one would disobey his words, but if it was changed here... People would run away, panic, bargain, and even walk alone because they wanted to eat alone, and then were killed by wolves for no apparent reason.

Of course, he didn't care too much about whether these npcs died or not, but the problems caused afterwards were extremely disgusting. When he came to dig city bricks once before, two people were taken away by wolves. He took the corpses back here Afterwards, he was surrounded by coolies who worked hard, insisting that he pay for it, and refused to let him go.

Are you kidding, he is a player, and he is still a player with a little fighting power, how could he be able to bear this anger?

So the two sides fought, and he punched three punches and kicked two kicks. These coolies didn't have a few full meals, so they were no match for him.

But on the second day, he realized the seriousness of this matter.

He still wants to continue to hire workers, but no one is willing to work for him. In order to get more manpower to help move bricks, he ran all over the capital, but no matter how he made cakes for those coolies, or even increased their wages, he still couldn't do it. No one wants to talk to him.

At that moment, the old player suddenly felt that what he was facing was not a trivial matter of killing one or two NPCs, but an invisible behemoth.

That is the rejection of an individual by the whole city, and he has no way to shake a giant of this level.

So after hesitating for a day, he still pinched his nose and paid the money, not only the settling expenses of the two npcs, but also the soup and medicine expenses for the treatment of those who were injured—and after he bowed his head and admitted, Kyoto The whole city opened its doors to him again.

This time, he was much more disciplined in his work. Not only did he agree on the wages and the amount of compensation in advance, but he also took the initiative to restrain these coolies during the process of moving bricks.Even though he now has several teams under his command and has become one of the best contractors in Kyoto, he has never made any move to separate the coolies.

"Don't be alone, be careful, and don't be alone."

While prying the floor tiles with a shovel, the veteran player once again reminded those busy coolies.

"Try to move around each other as much as possible, it doesn't matter if you work slowly, safety first, everything is for safety first."

Yes, just like in those horror movies, there are always some idiots who will walk away for various strange reasons, and then turn into corpses inexplicably.The meaning of the rules and regulations is to try to stop those idiots from doing stupid things, at least don't know that it is a dangerous behavior, but still have to...

"……Eh?"

The old player was suddenly stunned.

Then, he walked over quietly.

The further he moved forward, the faster his pace became. He knew that maybe it was wrong for him to do so, and that this kind of silent disappearance might be asking for his own death, but he couldn't control himself, couldn't control his own emotions. idea.

After all, the Qianli figure caught in her sight is really too beautiful.

It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, even though it was just a glimpse, he was already shocked - so even if he knew it shouldn't be like this, and he knew that it might put him in danger, he still quietly He ran over silently.

Those coolies should not see this beauty, such beauty can only be enjoyed by him alone.

However, before he enjoyed this beauty, those wild wolves entrenched in the ruins of the imperial city were ready to enjoy him first.

"Ow!!!"

Six or seven wild wolves rushed over at the same time, and they bit him one after another with just a pounce - even if he didn't turn up his perception too much for the sake of playing experience, he was also bitten at this moment in pain and couldn't move.

"I'm just... giving it away?"

It wasn't until this moment that the old player realized what a stupid thing he had done. He could still spend half a month's worth of gold coins here, but because of this mistake, he was about to be bitten back into the landing space. This is simply...

"Om-"

There was wind blowing in his ears.

The breeze blew, and what fell on the ground was the head of the wild wolf. Dirty wolf blood gushed out, splashing the old player's head and face.

But the old players no longer care about this.

Just because he saw that figure again.

The figure standing under the moon, wearing a cherry-colored haori.

"Who... are you? It's very dangerous here!"

"Is it dangerous? It's okay."

In the sight of the veteran player, the girl swordsman put away her sword and returned it to its sheath.

"I used to work here for a while, and this time I just came back to take a look... I just didn't expect that this place has broken down like this."

"Ever worked...?"

The old player couldn't help but tremble.

Although the girl in front of him was still breathtakingly beautiful, at this moment he was much more sober.

It's just because, with his attainments in combat, he didn't even see when the knife was pulled out.

Master!This is definitely a master!

In addition, what the other party said just now, has worked here before... Could this be Warrior Ji who once guarded the palace?

"Damn it!"

The old players were sweating immediately.

Although theoretically speaking, as a player, he must be involved in such a special event, but he has not forgotten that he brought someone to dig city bricks just now—in front of Ouchi's guards. In order to steal the bricks of the imperial palace, how many lives does he have?

"That... where did you come from?"

While trying to stabilize the opponent, the old player began to try to find an opportunity to escape.

"Look at your dusty appearance..."

"Okay, I don't care about you stealing bricks, grab your things and leave quickly."

Seeing the sweaty clumsy performance, the girl swordsman named Okita Souji just shook his head.

She doesn't really want to continue this boring conversation, she just wants to be quiet after revisiting the old place.

Walking among the broken bricks and broken tiles, she seemed to be able to see the pictures of the past, but after the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood in her mind overlapped with the weeds in front of her eyes, she always felt a little inexplicably absurd.

Once upon a time, this was the place that all samurai yearned for, and as a samurai, she was no exception. With loyalty and bravery as her creed, she maintained the prestige of the shogunate and the majesty of the royal family. After all, only the shogunate and the royal family can bring true Order, and only order can bring peace and stability.

But it's a pity that everything is over, whether it's the royal family or the shogunate... During that bloody fight, all the old order has been turned into a passing cloud.

"It's over, it's over."

At that time, she had lost all thoughts, and even wanted to sleep here with those countless corpses.

However, after less than seven days, she suddenly realized that everything was not as simple as that.

The cause of the incident was that too many people died in the imperial city, and the unpleasant stench of corpses had already spread outside. Therefore, for their own physical and mental health, and also to prevent any epidemics, the people spontaneously organized a clean-up team, The corpses were carried out and burned.

Of course, this is also a process of making a fortune. Burning the property on the corpse into the fire is also a waste, but before taking it back to exchange for money, they still use flames or boiling water to burn the property as much as possible, after all, according to the doctors. , which would be safer.

Okita Souji, who had turned into a soul state, just floated in the air, watching those people like ants moving house, cleaning up the pile of corpses in the entire palace bit by bit.

Indeed, it was all over.

But everything seems to have no end.

If at the beginning, she was just desperate, then now she is only left with boundless confusion - obviously in her impression, the collapse of the imperial family and the shogunate will definitely shake the earth, it will definitely It was right that the sky was collapsing, but what she saw right now was not like that.After the corpses were disposed of, people still lived as usual, as if no one had died, as if nothing had happened.

So many people have died, the importance to these people is not even as high as the price increase of brown rice and miscellaneous grains.

Whether it is the royal family or the shogunate, their life and death seem to be really not that important.

The impact on Okita Souji was a bit too great. After witnessing all this, she felt that her three views were shattered. She vaguely felt that she had touched something, but after thinking about it, she couldn't tell what it was one thing.

So, after being confused for half a year, she left here.

The part of the magic power belonging to the royal family has dissipated with the extinction of the royal family, but the magic power from that foreigner still maintains her figure. In a sense, she is also a ghost that cannot be freed. , but in terms of action, she is surprisingly free.

In the next two years or so, she went to many places, including Osaka, Edo, the mainland, and even the distant West... She once looked up at the sky from the highest peak of the snow-capped mountains, and once struggled with the waves on the stormy sea , England and France are no longer legends to her, and her footprints have been left in those places.

But now, at the last moment of her life, she returned to Toyo, to this land of her hometown.

Originally, as a member of the Shinsengumi, she wanted to return to Mibu Village, but when she walked around, she unexpectedly found that she had come to this place that she didn't want to recall.

"So this is ah."

At this moment, the young swordsman named Okita Souji vaguely heard the answer in his heart.
