Hey.

He stopped walking, looked up, and saw something on the chair where he often sat. He hesitated for a moment, and a faint blue light appeared in his eyes.

This is an old phone, no signs of traps or poison. Is this someone trying to contact me?

The boy's expression didn't change at all. It was obvious that he was used to it. Since he didn't hide his identity as a player, it was normal for people to notice him.

After passing the first copy, some newcomers will find that they cannot hide their identities for long and have to face the life and death test of the next copy.

The best way is to seek help, and the identity of "classmate" gives you the most sense of security.

"Someone from the first year? He wants to hide his identity and test me first."

Ayanokouji has seen recorded phone calls, voice changers, messages disguised as love letters, and the like. He will accept them based on the other party's value and will not force them.

In the reincarnation game, teammates with ulterior motives are more terrifying than monsters.

The boy was very cautious. He walked around the bench twice, put on medical rubber gloves, and then picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

"Hello, Ayanokouji-san, just as I expected, you are a player." A dry male voice came from the phone, and it didn't sound like someone of the same age.

This is normal. If they don't even use a voice changer, it would be too much of an underestimation of the intelligence of the college elites.

Several faces appeared in his mind, and as the boy was wondering which one it was, his whole body stiffened slightly.

“Have you heard of Li Dan?”

Just a few words made everything clear. Ayanokouji had seen all kinds of misleading statements about identity, some of which said they were outsiders, but no one had ever mentioned a certain name right away, and he had heard of this name before.

Ayanokouji did not answer yes or no, but asked:

"You're not from the school?"

"Of course not, but your reaction is interesting." Yuki let out a low laugh. He didn't get an answer, but the answer was no longer important.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is a player, and a veteran player at that, and that's enough.

Several kilometers apart, separated by the receiver, both sides were on edge, realizing that the other party was not simple.

When did he enter the school?

Ayanokouji had a desire to check the temporary pass right now, but he knew it was not important. It was obvious that the other party had spies in the school who could accurately locate him, and they also had an intersection in the copy.

"What do you want? A test or cooperation?"

"Is there no option of confrontation?"

"If you wanted to confront me, you shouldn't have called me." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka regained his composure. No matter what the other party wanted to do, there was no need to be nervous in his own home.

Talking to smart people is easy, I don’t need to waste any words at all.

Yuki leaned back in his chair. Even though there were only a few words spoken, both parties put in hundreds of times more thinking than speaking.

In terms of intelligence, he is not better than Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, but he has an intelligence ability that transcends logic.

“I want to cooperate.”

"Because of the player group, it may also be related to those financial groups?" The boy had already guessed it and shook his head slowly: "But there is one thing you can't solve. How to prove that you are not a member of the financial group? After all, the probability of encountering academy newcomers in the reincarnation game is not low."

We are all smart people so there is no need to beat around the bush. Yuki couldn't answer the boy's question, so he chose not to answer.

"If I'm not mistaken, you don't have an absolute advantage in Advanced Development High School. There are still people who are against you."

"Very good intelligence reconnaissance ability. Either you have informants, or they actively come to you to stage a show."

"It is indeed possible. Even if we make a pledge of allegiance, it is not credible. Why don't we start with the reward?"

Yuki still chose to avoid the topic and directly infer the purpose. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said "hmm", he was also very interested.

After just a few minutes of communication, he could tell that the other party was very capable and did not resort to any useless tricks like self-torture.

"I want to know more in-depth information about the reincarnation game, such as its impact on reality."

Yuki went straight to the point, but Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was stunned. This purpose was indeed beyond his expectations.

There was no requirement to form a team, nor was there any talk of cooperating to deal with a certain party, and it didn't even have anything to do with me.

This purpose is too simple, and somewhat inconsistent with the other party's powerful intelligence capabilities. Would they take the risk of contacting me just for this little intelligence?

Moreover, he has the desire to acquire knowledge but lacks the ability to obtain answers, which means that he is not of high level but has far-reaching ambitions.

"Are you not afraid that I might mislead you?"

"The truth will eventually come out. It just takes some time. I will always find out."

Very rational, and this is not an ordinary player, because the vast majority of players are either concerned about whether they can survive, or are obsessed with extraordinary powers. Who cares about the problems of the reincarnation game itself.

No matter how much you know about these things, it is useless. If you cannot change the rules, you can only adapt to them. Knowing too much will only trouble yourself.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka found it more and more interesting that there was someone in this world who had the same ideas as him.

"How far have you investigated?"

Yuki in the truck suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Things did not deviate from his expectations. People like Ayanokouji Kiyotaka would definitely look for the deeper truth and would not be confused by the immediate interests.

This is inevitable, and it is also a test to see if you are just talking big.

"I have found out that the game copy is connected to reality, and the reincarnation game has not been around for long. In the end, it is not just a game, but more like a selection mechanism."

Yuki stroked his chin and spoke slowly under the strange look of Hayasaka Ai. He rarely mentioned these things, and Hayasaka Ai found it even more difficult to understand.

It’s hard enough to survive in the dungeon, how can these two monsters have the leisure to think about the game settings?

"You know a lot. You really put in a lot of effort." The young man nodded slightly. It was very good that he could find out these things, and he did not hide the fact that his player level was not high.

This is more useful than swearing and swearing. At least it is honest and willing to expose one's own weaknesses, so one changes one's attitude.

"I have the answer. I can tell you everything except what is forbidden by the rules of the game, but it will cost you a price."

It was really interesting to listen to these two people talking in circles. After talking for a long time, they finally got back to the original topic.

Hayasaka Ai touched her forehead. She was considered smart, but she felt that her IQ was still not enough. When negotiating a deal, one could work backwards from the purpose. Shouldn't it be about mutual trust first and then gradually going deeper?

Yuki smiled faintly. They were indeed the same type of people, not following the usual path. Since there was no way for them to trust each other, they could just build a logical chain based on their respective needs.

"Just tell me, who do you want to deal with?"

"You should know without me telling you that this is also a test. I just want the result."

If you can't even figure out who your enemy is, then there is no need to talk about the next step of cooperation. Since you are pursuing the truth of the world, no matter what you want to do with this truth, you must have some skills.

"Okay, but I need an advance payment. After all, the risk is huge."

"That's no problem. I'll give you some free information first." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka agreed. To be honest, he just treated it as a scam call and didn't lose anything.

Anyway, given this person's IQ, he will be able to verify it sooner or later.

"You must be curious about the density of players in the academy. I won't beat around the bush. The reason for this situation is—"

Amid Yuuki's slight panting, the young man paused for a moment and replied in a flat tone:

“This is because of the random diffusion effect of the players.”

PS: I know some people think it's a technical secondary school brawl, so let's stick to the original setting...

Interlude 2: Chapter 13: First Face to Face Contact

The van was very quiet, without any sound for a long time. The phone call had been hung up, and Yuki got the answer he wanted.

Just as he thought, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka knew a lot of things and spent a lot of time exploring the truth. People like them cannot tolerate the situation of "knowing the facts but not the reasons behind them".

"I see. Is this the spreading effect of players?"

Yuki turned off his phone and huddled back in his seat.

Players are randomly selected by the reincarnation game, and their number is not too large, which can be ignored among the seven billion people in the world.

But according to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's theory, this is more like a disease called "player". When too many pathogens gather in one area, they will spread out randomly, allowing more people to become players.

In the closed high school, the kings of scrolls are very suitable for reincarnation games, so the survival rate of newcomers is relatively high, and then the number increases like raising Gu.

Yuki can also verify this answer, but it takes a lot of time and there is no similar environment. This can even be linked to the castle and hospital he found.

Is there a sense of erosion of reality?

Yuki's head was swelling with thought, there was another problem here, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka understood what Mari wanted to do, but this thing was meaningless to survival, just like a fish on the chopping board would not think about why the knife fell.

Is he just bored or has some other agenda? It doesn't matter. The deal has been concluded and I have time to figure out his intentions.

Yuki turned his head and saw Hayasaka Ai's slightly pale face. He knew what she was worried about without asking.

If players have a diffusion effect, doesn't that mean...

"Don't worry, this spread is random, and the number won't be too large. There are more than 500 people in the entire Advanced Training Academy. No matter how crowded the players are, the number will not exceed one twentieth." Yuki comforted. He felt that the spread would also be limited, otherwise all the players would become unlucky.

"Well, it's just a probability." Hayasaka Ai forced a smile, but the cloud on her face did not disappear because she suddenly remembered that Kaguya Shinomiya had disappeared.

"Why don't you just go back and ask her?"

"That's not even a good question..."

"That's something you have to test. Besides death, there are also distortions in the dungeon. You don't want Kaguya Shinomiya to become a different person, do you?"

Yuki doesn't like to escape, he just solves the problem if there is one.

"If so, will you help her first?"

"No, I don't know Kaguya Shinomiya. I'm just helping you."

Yuki had a blank expression on his face, but Hayasaka Ai felt that these were the most gentle words she had ever heard. She said nothing, just opened the car door and got out quietly.

"You don't want me to stay and help?"

"It's okay, I can handle it myself. Don't worry. Shinomiya Kaguya will definitely be monitored. If she really becomes a player, it will be very dangerous."

Being an ordinary person, you can only be a toy at most. But if you become a player, you are a competitor. The enemy will not be merciful, because every old player has experienced killing and should never be underestimated.

"I know, and I will be particular about the method and manner. I will not have direct contact with Miss Kaguya."

"You don't believe her?"

"How is that possible?" Hayasaka Ai paused and bit her lip slightly, "But I'm not alone now, I have to consider your interests."

The reincarnation game would distort the players, and she didn't dare to confirm it 100%, and she didn't want to drag Yuuki and Sakurajima Mai into it.

Just these words are enough. Only by considering each other can we last long.

Yuki said nothing, just watched the figure disappear into the distance. He didn't believe Shinomiya Kaguya, but he believed Hayasaka Ai.

There's no way. I can't be as cold and heartless as Lu Ge.

Yuki also got out of the car. The car was stolen, so if Ayanokouji Kiyotaka wanted to check it, he had a chance, but he knew that the other party would not check it. Given their equal intelligence, it would be a waste of effort.

Start with the first clue.

Since it is a transaction, he will not play fraud. If he says he will do something, he will definitely do it. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Are the enemies a group of people from the chaebol and the academy?" Yuki didn't even have to guess, he knew what Lu Ge wanted him to do.

He wants to be the one who reaps the spoils. Coincidentally, I also want to divert the trouble away. At least we have a common enemy.

Yuki's starting point is still profit. Only when the water is muddied can his small group have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Because of Hayasaka Ai, the two sides will confront each other sooner or later.

He opened the player panel and deliberately looked at the equipment column.

"It just so happens that I have a card in my hand."

......

Yuki stayed in Tokyo and rented a room near the Advanced Training Academy using a fake identity.

The money was of course given by the senior, which gave Yuki the illusion that he was being kept, and the latter also started performing activities.

Looking at the press conference on TV where Mai Sakurajima was introducing her comeback plan, Yuki couldn't help but smile. This was also discussed in advance.

The school is the most dangerous place. Even if her identity is exposed, with the aura of an artist, others who want to touch her have to consider making corrections to the game. Plans are plans, but when they will be implemented is still in Mai's hands.
