Yuki felt his chest burning, and the air he exhaled passed through his throat, causing a dry and painful feeling. He leaned his back against the wall, and after the adrenaline faded, he couldn't even move a finger, and could only slowly roll his eyes.
Besides the eye-catching blood, there were two huge corpses in the field of vision. One was almost cut into two parts, rolling up and down to a distance, and the other was in pieces, as if it had been torn apart by a cutting machine.
In addition, there was a girl who was covering her head and groaning. Her school uniform was dyed red by blood, but she didn't care about that.
'No wonder you don't want to use it. The side effects of this chaos item are too great. After using it, you will lose the ability to protect yourself.'
Now Yuki wanted to do something to Hayasaka Ai, but the latter couldn't resist at all. Of course, he wouldn't do it either. He just nodded slightly.
A strong teammate, more trustworthy than those two old players.
Hayasaka Ai's judgment, instinct, and physical fitness are all very good. This personality seems to be born for games. She is worthy of being an outstanding talent cultivated by the Shinomiya family and an excellent product of talent and hard work.
[Player Yuki, you received a gift from Red Moon]
Just as Yuki was sighing, that strange voice sounded again. It was not as annoying as before, but almost like heavenly music.
Gift? Is there any other gift?
Yuki's first reaction was that it was a bummer, as there was no prior warning at all. Immediately, his understanding of the reincarnation game deepened.
This game has no hints and does not need any hints. He likes players to come up with the most interesting solutions between life and death, whether it is cowardly or brave.
"What a bad character this is. Do you just like watching others struggle?"
He gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction, then loosened them. He had no right to complain at this stage. He just happened to have recovered some strength, so he straightened his back slightly.
What is the gift?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, his eyes automatically turned to the long sword beside him. He saw that this beautifully shaped samurai sword was soaked in a pool of blood, and there were a few bloodstains on the blade covered with beautiful patterns.
He opened the panel and saw the description in the equipment column:
Katana (Alienation), a permanent entry-level enhancement magic.
Hiss, it’s still so simple and violent.
Yuki originally thought that the knife was stained with the blood of the Licker and would be infected with the T virus or something like that, but it turned out to be related to him. After a moment of stunned silence, he felt that he had gained a lot from this thrilling battle.
'There are too many restrictions on entry-level enhancement magic, such as the material, size, thickness of the enhanced item, the not-so-short cooling time, and the uniqueness of the enhancement. This is equivalent to freeing up my hands. Wait a minute, what does this alienation mean?'
Since joining the game, Yuki has been focusing on collecting various information, and he quickly concentrated his energy and got an explanation on '*'.
Ordinary, alienated, disordered, extraordinary, mysterious, chaos, abyss...
Just like skills and physical strength, there are levels, and confusion and above will produce side effects, just like the "petals" in Hayasaka Ai's hand, which grew wildly when bleeding and cut a Licker into pieces.
Never mind, even if the quality is poor, at least I don’t have such serious side effects.
Yuki was very good at comforting himself, and then he saw that Hayasaka Ai seemed to have gotten through the painful period, gasping for breath while trying to stand up.
"Look at what's wrong with my head?" She was still a little confused and a little scared. When she saw Yuki quickly dodging away, her face turned pale instantly.
No way...
After a moment of daze, Hayasaka Ai raised her hand tremblingly, and then touched her own smooth skin. Her originally pale face turned red instantly.
"You, you dare to scare me!"
"Ah? I didn't say anything." Yuki laughed secretly and turned his head away with some disappointment. He thought he could scare out Hayasaka Ai's 'crybaby' nature.
Looking at the harmless Yuki, the girl's eyes twitched. She wanted to jump over and blow his head off, but the other party had saved her life after all, so she could only bear the grudge.
"When did you figure that out?" Hayasaka Ai pursed her lips at the two corpses that were slowly melting into the stone steps. "And how did you know that this monster would become weaker underground?"
"There's something called a control group experiment, which determines the changes in the subject based on the different environments. For example, it only takes one second for it to disappear when the moonlight is at its brightest, two seconds in the stairwell, and it simply chooses to crawl in the basement. Well, I've made comparisons after several encounters, and this monster shouldn't have the IQ to hide its shortcomings."
Yuki talked eloquently, causing the girl's gaze to change continuously.
This sounds simple, all you need is calmness and observation, but how many people can remain calm in that situation, let alone observe every detail? No, it's more than that.
“But there is no definitive evidence for this either.”
"Gambling, or probability theory, is an integral part of the experiment. I can see that this reincarnation game cannot be won by brute force. For example, on the ground, the two old players will suffer."
It is an invisible hunting method, and with the patience of a skilled hunter, it will not be easy for Li Dan and Thomas to kill it.
Hayasaka Ai nodded subconsciously, her eyes becoming strange again: "Are you really not an old player?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so hard-working. If you're a top student in the mock exam, you're still a top student." Yuki spread his hands and stretched out his right hand without further explanation: "It's a pleasure to work with you, Miss Hasaka."
The girl looked at the hand in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and shook it.
"It's a pleasure to work with you. Looks like I have someone to cling to."
For a moment, she became a little more playful.
“Let’s just help each other.”
As the monster's corpse sank, the two men leaned against the wall to recover their strength, chatting casually.
Yuki then realized that Hayasaka Ai's solution was unique. She pushed the door open by dragging the 'Novice Guide's' head, cut off a petal based on the rules, and obtained a chaos item called 'Frontal Lobe Fragment'.
The gift Hongyue gave her was also very simple. It randomly upgraded her skill by one level, and then randomly increased her skill to the level of hacking that she had originally mastered.
"This is of no use for now. It would be better if it were physical strength."
"You're dreaming. I guess specialized points are harder to obtain than strengthening points. Besides, this thing might be useful in the future." Yuki touched his chin, feeling a little depressed.
In terms of skills, Hayasaka Ai has just as many as I do, but this has nothing to do with talent. When I first traveled through time, I had to earn money to support myself, so how could I compare with the Shinomiya family in terms of resources?
Just when he was about to complain, he heard the sound of footsteps again, causing the two people who had just relaxed to tense their muscles again. Hayasaka Ai also returned to her player form and arched her back like a female leopard.
The Red Moon gift has come again? Is there still a need for human life?
The two men looked towards the archway without blinking, quietly tightening their swords and axes. After a few seconds, a dagger appeared in their sight.
Hayasaka Ai immediately leaned forward and was about to rush forward to take the initiative when she was held down on the shoulders by Yusuke. She turned her head away in confusion.
"One of our own."
Yuki answered, looking upwards with a slightly surprised look. Behind the short sword was a pair of plump and slender black silk legs, followed by a bunny girl costume that perfectly outlined the body curves.
Mai Sakurajima didn't follow the sound of gunfire to find Li Dan? Was she too scared, or was she courageous?
The answer is unknown, because the bunny girl was already standing at the entrance, looking at the two of them with a dull look.
The bloody and huge corpse of the licker had not completely disappeared yet. Large amounts of blood flowed along the stone steps to the depths, and the girl of the same age who had spoken to him not long ago was even covered in blood.
It had been nearly five hours since the game started, and for the first time, she felt the strangeness between people. Looking at each other and then looking at herself, it was as if they were not living in the same world.
Fortunately, Mai Sakurajima is well-informed and mature beyond her age, so she swallowed her saliva and said, "You, you guys are..."
"Haha, I did a few small things. Mai-san, you are quite brave to chase us alone." Hayasaka Ai instantly regained her hot girl image and said in a teasing tone, "The fate of going alone will be miserable. If you can't find us, guess whether you can survive for five minutes?"
The girl in blood-stained clothes holding an axe was scary, but the teasing tone made Mai frown slightly, and she heard the contempt in the words.
"I have made a judgment that if I go to find Li Dan, my chance of survival is even lower. If I encounter danger, he will not do his best to protect me."
"Oh? Could he?"
Mai shifted her gaze towards Yuuki and nodded slightly.
The fact that she pushed herself away before explained a lot of things. Sakurajima Mai was not stupid. She knew that the licker's first target would be herself. Most people would have been scared silly in that situation and would not have the mind to save others.
"It's not just about the survival rate. He saved me before, and I wanted to help. At least I wouldn't let him go alone."
Hayasaka Ai's lips moved slightly, and she held back her sarcastic remarks, because there was no burden due to the copy. If Yuuki was alone, he would be dead even without the Licker's action.
I don’t know whether this is true or not, and I don’t feel moved at all, but this rationality is commendable.
"Yuki-san, I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman." Hayasaka Ai still had that teasing tone, but her eyes were rational and cold, as if asking him what to do.
The two's cards cannot be exposed, and this big star is of no use in the game. At least his intelligence and rationality are far from enough. The bloody battle he just experienced was terrifying, so how could he have the energy to take care of a burden?
No matter what, I must go back alive, there are still many things to do.
It was very dangerous to interfere in the affairs of two women. Yuki didn't say anything. When he noticed Hayasaka Ai's gaze, he just spread his hands.
"I've always been a gentleman."
"Why didn't you notice when you were playing tricks on me just now?"
"That's to relax you. If you stay tense for too long, your heart will have problems. I'm a doctor after all."
"A medical student, and only a first year at that."
The corner of Yuki's mouth twitched slightly. He ignored Hayasaka Ai's argument and looked at Sakurajima Mai. He saw that the bunny girl senior was biting her lip and raising her chin, but the hand holding the dagger was shaking slightly.
She was awaiting trial. Neither of them needed to take any action. If they turned away from her, they would be dead. She had already experienced the terror of walking alone.
But even so, she refused to kneel down and beg. It was useless and would cause her to lose her dignity as a human being.
Yuuki is not a saint, and he has no interest in vases, but his speculation about his 'true self's characteristics' made his eyes soften, and he turned to look at Hayasaka Ai.
"Ms. Hasaka, we are a tripartite alliance."
PS: 6500 words were updated today, and there will be another one later.
Bloodthirsty Red Moon: Chapter 12 Grass!
Triple Alliance?
When hearing this, Hayasaka Ai was a little confused and disappointed.
It was a good fit for her to join forces with this man, as they both demonstrated their value, especially Yuki. Her rationality, fighting power, and professionalism made her very satisfied. Besides, this man was definitely in Japan and wouldn't dare to stab her in the back easily.
The perfect partner, but why bring her along?
Hayasaka Ai looked back and forth at the two of them, her eyes becoming more and more ambiguous, and she covered her mouth and laughed, "Yuuki-san, it seems that you have a lot of unrealistic fantasies about the entertainment industry."
Sakurajima Mai's hand holding the knife shook even more violently, and Yuki felt a headache, but he couldn't refute other people's suspicions.
"I never give up on my comrades, and I keep my word."
"You two are considered comrades in arms?"
"Just barely, right? And since she dared to come to me, the word 'reluctant' can be removed." Yuuki put away the knife. He couldn't say that Sakurajima Mai might be very useful in the future, so he could only make an analogy:
"We are players, but we also have our own personalities. If I abandon you when I see a better partner, that's really despicable."
The blonde girl tilted her head slightly and thought about it carefully, which did make some sense. If this guy was really someone who would do anything to survive, the knife just now should have cut off both herself and the monster.
She reluctantly accepted this reason. After all, she had time and she could tell the truth from the falsehood with her own eyes.
"Okay, but I still have to remind you that it's dangerous to act cool in this kind of game~"
"Don't worry, I'm more professional than you." Yuki rolled his eyes. Hayasaka Ai's switching back and forth between various forms was a little unpredictable.
But one thing is certain, her desire to survive is no less than mine.
"Mai-san, come here. Since we are allies, let's have a good discussion." He turned his head and waved to the girl who was standing blankly above him.
After she finished speaking, Sakurajima Mai did not move. This result was really beyond her expectations. She originally thought that it would be great if these two people could take her back to reunite, but they actually became teammates?
"Why? I don't think I can help you in any way." She looked doubtful. When the monster appeared just now, it was difficult for her to stay calm and make judgments, let alone fight it.
"She doesn't know she has that ability yet? Yeah, it hasn't been shown since she joined the game."
After relaxing, Yuki suddenly discovered a blind spot, but he couldn't ask directly "What about your puberty syndrome?", so he had to touch his chin with a deep expression:
"I know your value better than you do."
After these words were spoken, Sakurajima Mai became even more confused. She thought about it for a while, and suddenly covered her chest with her hands, her face red, and she looked alert.
The two of them haven't been together for too long, and Yuki had only said something like "You're dressed very provocatively" to show his interest, so naturally he would think in that direction.
Hayasaka Ai couldn't hold back after watching this scene. She turned her head away and said, "Pfft, you're not very good at pleasing girls."
"I want you to take care of it!"
Mai Sakurajima watched the two people's expressions gradually become more complicated. Somehow, her body instinctively moved down the stone steps, and the alert expression that had just appeared disappeared without a trace.
In any case, the way these two people now look is more in line with common sense, rather than cold-blooded players struggling to survive.
Yuki watched the bunny girl senior slowly approach, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere.
In this reincarnation game, staying rational is a necessary option, but if you become a robot with only logic left, how can you write the word "trust"? Just like Hayasaka Ai's mask, your mood will change according to different people and things.
After going through the "gift" sent by the red moon, a small group was finally formed, and in this dead silence underground, they recalled the experience of the past five hours.
