After a while, the foot on Yuki's thigh twitched slightly, as if it was about to escape control, but this time, Yuki held the ankle firmly.
"You." Mai pursed her lips lightly and did not continue to exert force. Only a smile appeared on the boy's face.
He is not frivolous, but rather as serious and confident as he is in the copy. He is sharp and decisive.
Yuki entered the game state and calculated the success rate based on the atmosphere.
Click.
The door lock clicked, causing the two people who were concentrating to turn around at the same time. They saw Hayasaka Ai standing at the door, pulling a suitcase in her hand, blinking slightly confusedly.
From her perspective, the posture of the two was not only ambiguous, but could be said to have violated the student code of conduct.
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. After a few seconds, Hayasaka Ai, who always appeared to be a cold and cool player, was the first to blush and immediately walked out of the door.
"excuse me!"
PS: Happy Labor Day everyone. I'll take a break and plan how to write the next copy. Damn, it will be troublesome if I have no experience.
On a hot summer day, the night breeze blew up the white gauze curtains. A few slices of leftover watermelon were placed on the plate, emitting a faint sweetness.
It’s almost there, the atmosphere is definitely there.
Yuki sat upright on the chair, touching his cheek with his fingers. A few minutes ago, he keenly felt that the atmosphere was right and the success rate of his confession was as high as 80%.
What else is there to say? Just go for it. As for failure? I'm not some young boy. Why should I worry about it?
With two lives combined, he is almost forty years old. The word "indecisive" does not exist in Yuki's dictionary. He is more like a copy guide and likes to hold the initiative in his own hands.
It was a mistake. I should have locked the door, but this stupid maid probably didn't know that.
Yuki turned his head and looked at Hayasaka Ai with a sad look, causing the latter to look up at the ceiling instantly and pretend that she saw nothing.
Although Hayasaka Ai can pretend to be a Shibuya hot girl, she is actually more innocent than Sakurajima Mai, and is often humiliated by Shinomiya Kaguya.
"Haysaka, Yuki was just helping me apply the medicine just now." Sakurajima Mai explained from the side and glared at someone fiercely.
"Yeah, that's right, it's just applying medicine, it's a common thing when practicing martial arts."
Do you think I'm blind? The atmosphere was so ambiguous when applying the medicine, and you deliberately explained it. Doesn't it make it even more impossible for me to pretend nothing happened?
Hayasaka Ai really wanted to teach these two how to avoid embarrassment, so she immediately activated her self-defense mechanism, took a deep breath, took out a headdress from her pocket and put it on her hair.
A magical scene happened. The innocent girl, who had a slightly blushing expression just now, suddenly became expressionless and returned to her poker face.
Professional, calm, and full of reason, as if even if he saw two people doing something shameful, he would pretend nothing happened, bow gently, and close the door.
"Yuuki, please put your clothes on before you explain."
"Okay okay."
Not to mention Sakurajima Mai, even Yuki didn't react in time. He quickly put on his shirt and buttoned it up while marveling at the seamless switch.
The offensive was reversed in an instant, as if I was wrong.
"Uh, Senior, why don't you go take a shower? I'll go change my clothes too. We should get back to business."
Being seen in person, Sakurajima Mai was of course embarrassed and annoyed, but she knew she had to back down and pretend nothing had happened.
"You dare to plot against me secretly. I will settle the score with you when I have the chance."
She also reacted and realized that she had fallen into a "trap". She glared at someone again and quickly went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.
In an instant, the two of them ran away without a trace, and Hayasaka Ai was the only one left in the empty living room. She looked around, put down the teacup, loosened her clasped toes, and covered her face.
Oops, I seem to be the bad guy.
She was not blind and had read many related books. Of course she knew what had happened. This interruption distracted her heavy mind and she had a strange idea.
But I seem to be quite happy to be the bad guy?
There was a little yearning and a little jealousy, but when I thought about the clues I had found, I put on a cold mask again.
This isn't something I should be touching, at least not now.
......
The night wind blew in, blowing away the last breath of youth. When Yuki came out after changing his clothes, he had already returned to his serious state of strategy without Hayasaka Ai's reminder.
Hayasaka Ai cast a grateful look and said calmly, "I have also got some results from my investigation."
Yuki sat back in his chair and asked, "Let me guess, have you confirmed the identity of someone that night?"
"You figured it out?!" Hayasaka Ai sat up straight instantly, gritted her teeth, and said as if she had made up her mind:
"Yes, after taking care of my family affairs, I returned to Shuchiin yesterday and found that the student council president had taken two days off and happened to go to Kanagawa for an exchange. His back was similar to the one I saw that night."
Student Council President?!
Yuki was stunned at first, then realized that this was not referring to Shirogane Miyuki, but the squinting boyfriend.
"What a coincidence! If I'm not mistaken, Shuchiin also belongs to the Shinomiya Group."
"That's right, the chairman of Shuchiin is none other than Miss Kaguya's brother, Shinomiya Koukou." Hayasaka Ai nodded expressionlessly. At this point, there was nothing to hide about each other's identities.
The president of the Shinomiya Group suddenly fell seriously ill, and then discovered a player suspected to be from the Huang Guang faction. Anyone could smell the scent of conspiracy, and Hayasaka Ai suddenly realized that she had made the right choice.
According to her wish, if the Shinomiya family is really related to the reincarnation game, and her identity as a player is exposed, it would be strange if she is not exploited to death.
"You are already a tool, and if you are given more value, not only will the freedom you desire be far away, but even Miss Kaguya will be implicated."
Hayasaka Ai showed a self-deprecating smile, she was thinking too simply. If Yuki hadn't stopped her, she would have been exposed now.
"Hayasaka-san, please have some tea."
Just when she was feeling depressed, Sakurajima Mai brought her hot tea without asking any extra questions.
"Thank you, Mai-senpai, aren't you curious?"
"I have also heard about the style of the Shinomiya family. If they are really related to the reincarnation game, your wish will indeed be difficult to realize."
"You know what I want?"
"I don't know, but I know you don't want to be a tool anymore." Mai still didn't say much, just glanced at Yuuki who was holding the back of the chair and thinking hard, "Relax, we can even survive the bloodthirsty red moon safely, we will definitely find a way."
Hayasaka Ai held the tea and somehow relaxed. What Sakurajima Mai said was right, whether in the copy or in reality, the three of them were an independent group.
And his foresight showed its value, as if he had predicted everything in advance.
"Since reality and games are inseparable, your affairs are also within our covenant. We prosper together and suffer together." Yuki raised his head and stated his position seriously.
"Have you ever thought of selling me to the Shinomiya family?"
"There is no benefit in doing this, and as I said before, I don't want to be a tool of others, especially such a behemoth."
When their eyes met, Hayasaka Ai's expression softened a lot. The reason why she was willing to tell the secret was that she couldn't hide it at all, just like Yuki's first sentence had exposed her thoughts just now.
On the other hand, it was because of her understanding that as early as in the copy, she discovered that this man was very independent and was not willing to hand over his life and property to the hands of others.
Regardless of whether the difficulty of the copy is affected, he and Li Dan cannot coexist.
"Thank you, I feel much better now." The girl drank a sip of hot tea and completely relaxed. If you looked closely, you could see a barely detectable mist in her eyes.
I've been weighing the issue over and over again these past few days, but I still can't make up my mind. I just can't discuss it with anyone. Even when I walked in just now, my mind was in a mess.
As for what Yuki's stance is and whether he can do it, it doesn't matter. What matters is that now he doesn't have to carry it alone.
"It seems Hayasaka-san is not as strong as she appears."
Mai Sakurajima looked over secretly and also felt that she was getting closer to her. It was only fair for everyone to expose their weaknesses. As for what to do, she let him worry about it.
In fact, Yuki was not worried at all. Although it is said that one will have immediate worries if he does not plan for the future, he also has to consider the progress of history. The three of them had just passed the novice copy and had no right to fantasize about the future.
If you have this free time, you might as well study how to use the accumulated reinforcement points.
"Try your best to hide your identity, work hard to become stronger, and then pretend nothing happened."
Nothing happened?
Hayasaka Ai didn't follow the train of thought at first, but she soon realized that solving problems requires both wisdom and strength, and as players, most of their strength comes from the reincarnation game.
"How strange, I'm actually looking forward to the next dungeon mission."
"That's right. Players are not completely restricted in reality, which may be to prevent anyone from playing badly. Whether it's personal ambition, obsession with supernatural powers, or simply wanting to protect themselves, it gives players another reason to struggle to survive."
Yuki shook his head and sighed. He didn't know who created the reincarnation game, but this person really understood humans.
The contrast between the rhythm of the game and reality turns players into aliens, and then makes them ecstatic about the power they gain. Not to mention that if someone has a terminally ill patient at home, they will see hope, or if someone was originally poor and destitute, they can exchange their identity as a player for wealth and glory.
Even if Yuki himself has been deliberately ignoring interpersonal relationships and has always been alone, doesn't he now have two teammates he cares about?
Only veteran players are eligible to afford these things, no wonder the elimination rate is so alarming.
Suddenly, Yuki had a deeper understanding of the reincarnation game. He tapped the table lightly and turned his head to ask:
"Senior, did you find anything unusual in the alley?"
"The police investigation has ended, and the cleaners are cleaning the scene." Mai raised her head slightly, thought carefully for a while, and raised her finger. "By the way, except for a teahouse in the alley, no one was open, and then some discussions appeared on the Internet."
She took out her cell phone and searched for it, then handed it to Yuuki and Hayasaka Ai.
This is a bit like a forum for local students, where fire is artistically processed and turned into something like an urban legend. There are countless such things appearing on the Internet every day, and anything that cannot be explained will be related to ghosts.
No one mentioned the reincarnation game in the post, or if it was mentioned it would become invisible, but there was a highly praised comment that aroused Yuki's curiosity.
[Don't go too far.]
It's a nonsensical sentence that even ordinary people can see.
"Haha, this is fishing, how dare you plagiarize my idea." Yuki grinned and thought that the hook was too straight, but if there was a chance, he really wanted to take the bait.
I have to communicate with other players. If my guess is correct, this should have something to do with the Shinomiya Group. Even if we exclude the factor of Hayasaka Ai, they pose a threat to me as well. I should confirm this.
Just as he was hesitating, his fingers tapping the table suddenly paused. In the confused eyes of Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai, he stood up instantly as if he had been electrocuted.
[Player Yuki, prepare to enter the regular mission - Devil's Hospital. ]
[It is detected that the player has turned on the team function. Do you want to share the task? ]
【One-hour preparation countdown begins. 】
Each word contained a huge amount of information, but Yuki was not surprised that the reincarnation game had no signs, but rather——
Opportunity?
PS: I continue to work over 6,000 today, it’s just labor.
Just like when you first enter the game, the reincarnation game doesn’t care whether you are eating, sleeping or having sex. It will appear without any warning, say a long paragraph, and then disappear very rudely.
It doesn't answer any questions, nor does it give too many hints. Only a blood-red countdown flashes in sight.
But it’s completely different from last time.
Yuki stood there in a daze. There were three paragraphs in total, and each paragraph contained a huge amount of information. It turned out that the old players knew the name of the copy, but they could not analyze too much information from the name.
Whether it is the bloodthirsty red moon or the devil's hospital, one can only vaguely distinguish the time or place.
He then saw the confused Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai, and more information flooded his mind.
Even for veteran players at the same level, the events in which they receive quests are different, and the contents of the dungeons will also be different.
"This is very humane. I can choose whether to bring them with me, and they can also choose whether to follow me. This avoids the relationship breaking down in real life and bringing problems into the game."
"What are you mumbling about?" Sakurajima Mai walked over in confusion, and as soon as she took a step, she received an invitation from Yuki.
[Player Yuki invites you to enter the regular mission - Demon Hospital, do you want to follow? ]
【Select remaining time: 59 minutes and 15 seconds. 】
The two girls, including Hayasaka Ai, became visibly nervous, as if they had just gone through a not-so-long vacation and then suddenly received a notice to take an exam.
Ah this...
“Do we still have a choice?”
"Sure, the service of the Samsara game is very considerate, but I guess if you refuse, you will receive mission information soon and won't have much time to rest."
"Wait a minute, doesn't this mean we can't choose a mission to enter?" Hayasaka Ai reacted quickly. They had actually discussed a similar topic two days ago.
