In the weird second dimension of killing gods

At last……

Hayasaka Ai looked blankly at the small token that suddenly appeared in her hand. She seemed to be drawn into this game.

……

Buddhism says there are eight sufferings in life.

Birth, old age, illness, death, failure to seek, meetings of resentment and hatred, separation from love, and the excess of the five Yins.

[The Sea of ​​Bitterness Game] is also divided into eight levels. The first four levels of birth, aging, sickness and death are called "mortal suffering" by players in the forum, and the last four levels are called "ghost and god suffering".

The game in which mortals suffer and the game in which ghosts and gods suffer are equivalent to two competition areas.

Players need to collect the clearance rewards for the first four levels of the game before they can enter the game of the Ghost and God level.

In addition, each level of the game requires a different price.

Participating in the game of "life and suffering" will result in the loss of flesh and blood.

Huoxia had a lot of flesh and blood eaten during the game, and also lost his brain, lung lobes, liver and other organs. Although he will not die during the game, once the game is over, he will probably be left with no body left.

However, "old and painful" games will make players lose their youth.

In other words, it is normal for people participating in the game to suddenly age, or even turn into bones or corpses.

"Suffering from illness" means suffering from all kinds of strange diseases.

"The pain of death" is the risk of dying in the game. This kind of death is not death in the general sense, but the transformation from a human into a ghost, that is, the soul is trapped in the game.

"To sum up, you, as a novice, have been dragged into a second-level game."

On the desolate battlefield, Huoxia gave this explanation to Hayasaka Ai.

At this time, both of them were wearing full body armor, even their faces were covered tightly, and the voices they made were also hissing, as if they were using a voice changer.

Because of cognitive impairment, Hayasaka Ai should not be able to recognize Huoxia, and Huoxia should not be able to recognize Hayasaka Ai either.

but.

The goddess Athena in my mind pointed out Hayasaka Ai's true identity.

Huo Xia also decided to give this unlucky guy who was forced into the game some guidance.

"But don't worry, as long as you follow me, you will definitely get out alive. If you are lucky, you may even be able to obtain cursed items or even spells."

The rewards for completing [Bitter Sea Game] are usually cursed objects with strange effects and powerful spells.

As for the settlement and payment standards, even experienced masters or advanced players are confused and think that there is no logic in them.

Hayasaka Ai's delicate body was hidden in the huge armor, and her pretty face was a little tense. She complained: "Why am I involved in this kind of thing?"

That’s all I can say now.

Huo Xia said calmly: “If you refuse your master’s mission, you will surely have a safe holiday.”

Hayasaka Ai hummed, then became a little wary and said, "Hey, what is God talking about? What master?"

"No need to hide it." Huo Xia shook her head, "I still know that you are a maid of the Shinomiya family, and... you look a lot like Ms. Hayasaka Nao."

"Really?"

Hayasaka Ai smiled instantly, and seemed happy that she looked like her mother.

Huo Xia nodded slightly and said, "So, why did Miss Kaguya send you here to observe secretly?"

Hayasaka Ai regained her composure.

"I have no comment to make."

Huo Xia nodded and said, "That means you admit that you are Kaguya's maid."

Hidden under the helmet, Hayasaka Ai had already frowned slightly, feeling a little tricky... The gap in level between Miss Kaguya and this man was too big.

Huo Xia said to herself, "I have a close relationship with the Shijo family, and I have a good relationship with Chika who belongs to Kaguya. Recently, I have become closer to Momo and Arisu, so I asked you to come and find out, right?"

"Anyway, with the education provided by the Shinomiya family, she hopes to find a great helper."

"Or rather, the old man from the Shinomiya family hinted at something..."

Hayasaka Ai said unhappily: "It has nothing to do with that old thing!"

Huo Xia did not comment, and said leisurely: "Let's skip the matter of the Ice Sculpture Lady. Anyway, she is the same as Shijo Zhenfei, who seems smart but is actually unexpectedly slow."

"Your comments on the young lady and Lord Shijo really make me speechless..."

Hayasaka Ai was speechless.

From any perspective, the eldest daughter of the Shijo family is an angel investor in the Huoxia family's business, and can even be said to be a benefactor.

But this is how he evaluated Shijo Shinki...

It really makes me wonder what to say.

Huo Xia shrugged: "It's just stating the facts. If you have ever met a real concubine, you can detect that the other party is a pushover in relationships and has the lowest nature in relationships."

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

Huo Xia clapped his hands and said, "It seems that there is still some time before the game officially starts. I have one more thing I want to tell you. I wonder if you are willing to listen."

"Please say."

Hayasaka Ai's tone turned cold, like a business-like tone.

Huo Xia asked, "Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"

Hayasaka Ai was slightly stunned, and wanted to show her loyalty, but she heard Huo Xia continue to say: "Now Japan's economy is supported by the four major chaebols, among which the Shinomiya chaebol controls the transportation and banking industries."

"Among them, the transportation industry has entered a turning point in this era..."

Taking advantage of this time, Huo Xia expressed his own views, and finally, he stated that he and the Shijo family shared the same ideals.

"With Japan's size and status, it is impossible for it to monopolize the hydrogen energy industry, especially it is impossible to rely on occupying supporting patents and expect to eat and drink for free."

"The adults of the Shijo family hope to open up the patents monopolized by the Shinomiya Zaibatsu and cooperate with the United States or China to maintain Japan's transportation industry."

“This is also the basis of our cooperation.”

"To be honest, compared to the Internet company, my job as a lobbyist is to help connect the four families with western companies, which is actually my main job."

Huo Xia continued, "In order to achieve this goal, we need to take advantage of the contradictions within the Shigong family, defeat the Shigong family, and complete the goal of occupying the magpie's nest."

"So, I need to find a partner within the Shigong family."

"Kaguya is a good choice, but if I come into direct contact with her, it will give everyone bad ideas. For example, Kaguya will join forces with me to fight for the inheritance of the Shinomiya family, or it will make the Shijo family suspicious."

“So, I want to hire you.”

Hayasaka Ai hesitated for a moment and asked again: "What do you need me to do?"

Huo Xia said: "Just join my side. I am very interested in this kind of business method of knocking down a giant. No, it should be a game."

For Huo Xia now, money is no longer important.

but.

This game of forming alliances and bringing down giants is very interesting.

It's nothing.

Just like her sister Nagasaki Suyo who loves music and is passionate about band career, she also likes this kind of career with all the hustle and bustle and maneuvering in the world of fame and fortune, and she especially likes starting a business from scratch and defeating giants.

Very interesting isn't it?

Hayasaka Ai asked again: "What can I get?"

Huo Xia said slowly: "I will teach you supernatural powers, such as spells, magic, qigong, etc., and give you a proper job and identity. You will gain the ability to be independent. In a word, I will ensure that you will not be bullied by anyone."

Hayasaka Ai pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It will take some effort to quit my original job, and I need your help."

Huo Xia nodded with satisfaction.

He doesn't have much attachment to his career in World No. 996, but he still has to deal with the aftermath, especially the affairs of his stepmother and sister. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, and a weak foundation is exactly like their family.

Especially for his own sister, Huo Xia really needs a reliable woman who can help his sister Nagasaki Suyo take over all the industries and connections he has managed over the years.

I hope this person can be more reliable.

While the two were talking,

A voice that seemed to be trying to make fun of suffering rang in my ears.

The sound sounded like a painful whimper, but also like a joyful laugh.

【All living things are suffering, play the world】

[The living arrive, the dead arrive]

[The bearer of the order has arrived! ]

[The game is called "Life and Death Chart", with thirty-seven living people and sixty-three dead people.]

[Players can move freely on the field and occupy the territory. After occupying the territory, they can make a rule. Other players need to act according to the rule before they can pass, or pay a fine before they can pass. ]

[There are a total of 100 territories, and the game time is one day and one night. 】

[Players can pledge allegiance to other players, or accept allegiance from other players. Each player can only pledge allegiance to one person, but can accept allegiance from multiple players. ]

[The number of people who pledge allegiance and the number of territories occupied will determine one's status. ]

[A person of higher status can cast a curse on a person of lower status. If the person being cursed is in the territory of the person casting the curse, or if the person casting the curse is loyal to the territory of the person casting the curse, the person must obey the curse.]

【Results will be calculated based on the number of territories occupied at the end.】

[Note: The game ends when all territories are occupied by one person, or when all people pledge allegiance to one person.]

Very simple rules.

It sounds like a normal game.

However, in the player forum, there is a saying that "the simpler the rules, the greater the danger", because the rules are not used to bind the living, but to bind the dead.

Many ghosts will actually launch sneak attacks without any moral principles!!

After hearing these rules, Hayasaka Aida frowned and said, "According to this rule, you need to accept as many loyalty as possible from others or occupy enough territory within one day and one night. It sounds difficult."

Huo Xia nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.

The "territory" in this game is easy to occupy, so it is also easy to be snatched away by others, so most players will choose the "loyalty flow" style of play, that is, they will say a specific code before entering, and then many people will be loyal to one person, which is the team play method.

Before entering, Huo Xia chose this style of play.

But now that I have entered the game, I need to ask my "consultant" lady.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoya, how can I pass the game and successfully obtain the spell reward?" Huo Xia asked in his heart.

Instantly, Athena's cold voice rang in my mind.

"Don't call me Xiaoya."

Just like a pre-set conversation with a few words, Athena emphasized a sentence before saying, "First, help this woman grab a piece of territory, then help yourself grab a piece of territory, and then issue the same rules in both territories."

"The rule is to pledge allegiance to the lord of this place."

"After that, you will accept this woman's loyalty, occupy all one hundred territories, and promulgate this rule in all of them. At the same time, all the people you meet will be given the same spell, 'Pledge allegiance to me'."

After that, Athena didn't say another word.

No explanation why.

Huo Xia frowned slightly, not understanding the reason for doing this, but he didn't intend to ask more questions, as long as the result was smooth.

"Then let's set off."

After reminding Hayasaka Ai, he waited for her to look over before saying, "The birthplace of this game is random. Since we are together, we are not in the territory now, but on the road. If we want to move, we can't rely on our feet, but on our thoughts."

"like this……"

Huo Xia first searched the armor on his body and found no chains, ropes or anything like that, then he directly pulled Hayasaka Ai's hand.

Both of them were wearing heavy armor, so there wasn't much feeling from holding hands.

Huo Xia couldn't help but think: "This armor is quite heavy. It shouldn't be a problem for an adult, but it might be difficult for Arisu. I hope she can handle it."

Although she thought so, the rules of the game "Promotion Chart" had been thoroughly studied by the players' forum, so the little princess must be fully prepared.

Holding Hayasaka Ai's hand, Huo Xia just said: "Let's move forward together now. You can also just say it and you can jump to the next space."
