Why is my time traveling to the second dimension such a weird rule story?

But for now, he could only put away his curiosity and stay silently in the swimming pool waiting for night to fall.

From the direction of the blocked swimming pool, there would be some unusual sounds from time to time. It's just that none of the people in the room paid attention to it. The thing couldn't enter the building without being fully recognized, so they just maintained each other in peace.

Gao Hai himself sat against the wall, half-squinting his eyes to pass the time.

Fujiwara Chika was sitting next to him, her head tilted to rest on his arm, and she was already asleep.

Miko, who was sitting on the other side, was a little reserved at first, about three fists away from Gao Haihai, but after sitting for a while, the girl also started to feel sleepy. So he kept his eyes open and closed, and his body swayed before falling on Gao Hai's body, and fell asleep just leaning against him.

Xiong Mi stood at the door of the swimming pool, holding a cigarette and puffing away at the smoke. From time to time he raised his head and stared at the sky, his expression seemed to have a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Goto Ichisato himself sat carefully opposite Gao Hai. The two of them were about fifteen or six meters apart in the hall, facing each other.

"..."

Little Boqi opened his mouth, looked at Gao Hai, and then became quiet again.

She moved a little uneasily, hesitating as if she wanted to get up, but in the end she just continued to sit where she was.

Then, after another moment of silence, the girl's expression became tormented, like a volcano that was about to erupt after its endurance reached its limit, and then... nothing happened. Goto Ichiri did not explode, but instead became decadent and depressed.

"Anything you want to ask?"

So Gao Hai's voice reached Goto Ichiri's ears at the next moment, causing the girl to subconsciously raise her head, and then she saw the man smiling at her.

Chapter 68: The exploration of Yoruyama Middle School experienced by Ichiri Goto

Gao Hai could clearly feel that Goto Ichiri suddenly became nervous.

Obviously they have communicated with each other more than once before, and they have a relatively basic understanding of each other, but Ichiri Goto still acts as if he is meeting for the first time, trembling once after saying a few words, always cautious, always cautious. He was so timid that he didn't even know what to say.

And a particularly magical thing is that although Xiao Boqi will act like she has been bullied a lot anytime and anywhere, according to the original setting of the comic, she has not actually been bullied that much. Because of his outstanding appearance, and the fact that when he doesn't speak, this child is said to give off an aura that makes people difficult to get close to, and makes people stay away from him, so he has always had a smooth ride since he was a child, but he will only be ignored by his classmates. Be distant without being bullied.

To be honest, this setting makes people want to complain. If Gao Hai didn't know much about Japanese atmosphere before, and at most just thought this setting was a bit strange, then after being popularized by Fujiwara Chika about Neon's outrageous atmosphere culture , let’s look back at Goto Ichiri’s experience. Uh...how should I put it, it really feels like a fairy tale.

And assuming that this background will not change due to any parallel time and space effects, well, it should not have changed. After all, when Chika was talking about the [atmosphere] issue before, Goto Kazuri's reaction did not seem to have really experienced this deeply. A person with a story to tell, compared to Kaguya's complex reaction at that time, it can be seen that he is a person with a story.

In other words, her social fear is innate.

In a harmonious and happy family, her parents sincerely loved her and took good care of her, her classmates never bullied her, and her entire childhood and adolescence went smoothly without any setbacks, Goto Ichiri herself developed severe social phobia. , and even a strange personality that vaguely transforms from social phobia to social terrorism.

Gao Hai really didn't know how to complain about this kind of twisted personality in heaven. Of course, although it is strange, it is also very fun, and there is a sense of beauty that can force her to sign the liability agreement transfer form and put her in debt.

But I'm still in the dungeon after all, so I'll leave the teasing until I get out of this hellish place and return to daily life.

"Regarding her state, it can now be confirmed that she indeed retains her self-awareness. So the most important question next is how to separate her from the strange thing and ensure that she is maintained at the moment she escapes control. vital signs.”

Gao Hai went through all kinds of evil thoughts in his mind, and finally just said it seriously.

"she?"

Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment. This idiot had obviously been worried about Kita Ikuyo's problem, but now she didn't react immediately after Takahai took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"Your friend, when she was in the attached teaching building, she helped block the core obsession that was chasing her. This alone is enough to prove that she is still alive, or at least her self-awareness has not completely disappeared. There is still hope.”

Gao Hai didn't expect that Xiao Boqi could be so pure. He almost couldn't hold himself any longer. He twitched the corners of his mouth a few times before continuing.

"...Ah, well, she, she is...still alive, right? She can...be saved, right?"

The pink-haired girl became excited almost immediately at this moment, but after seeing Gao Hai make a gesture of silence and gesture with his eyes to Qianhua and Miko, who were sleeping next to him, she finally Teng Yili quickly lowered his voice and became as quiet as possible, but his anxious look obviously couldn't be restrained for a while.

Excited to this extent, should we say that their relationship is really good?

Looking at this little girl who is sincerely worried about her friend, Gao Hai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Why didn't he make such a friend in his campus life? Well, but if he really had such a friend, it wouldn't be a good thing for him. After all, he traveled through time and completely abandoned the interpersonal relationships in the original world. From this point of view, it's better to have no friends.

Tsk, I'm getting off topic. Let's focus on the current problem first.

"At least it is certain that there is still self-awareness. As long as there is self-awareness, there is hope of being saved."

Gao Hai nodded affirmatively, and as his words fell, Goto Ichiri's eyes immediately flashed.

It feels like a little puppy. If this child is properly trained, she may be more... No, no, no, she is not my girlfriend now. Now is not the time to consider such things. Let's deal with the current problem first. Anyway, I want to leave this dungeon, and it is necessary to crack the illusory third core obsession, so whether I save Kita Ikuyo or not, I will face her sooner or later. So before that, Goto Ichiri, a girl who knows Kita Ikuyo and has a close relationship with her, must confirm whether she can get more information from her.

"In short, being able to save is one thing, and how to save is another. There are still many things that need to be carefully considered. Therefore, before facing your friend again, I need to know more information. If you don't mind, I hope to confirm what happened in the dungeon exploration that you and her separated."

Considering that there are two girls who have fallen asleep beside him, Gao Hai spoke in a low voice.

But the person sitting opposite is a Red Moon-level player after all, so it is not so quiet that he can't hear what he is saying. So Goto Ichiri closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then began to tell Gao Hai about the situation at that time.

At that time, Goto Ichiri, Aoyama Nanami and Kita Ikuyo, together with other Red Moon-level player teams, entered the huge dungeon [School Tales] to collect intelligence data for further investigation and even the possibility of taking away the core obsession.

And it was during this exploration that Goto Ichiri himself accidentally came into contact with Asamoto Eriko's core obsession.

This contact process was quite outrageous in the eyes of other players. Goto Ichiri just played the guitar for six hours continuously without even taking a breath, and then the obsession guitar automatically flew to Ichiri and became her property.

However, for Goto Ichiri who accomplished this feat, it was a hell where she would be doomed if she made a mistake and there was no way to escape.

Many people later believed that this core obsession might have left his guitar to someone before his death, so there were rules related to the "test" in the obsession after death, and Goto Ichiri happened to have the corresponding answer key, so he was lucky enough to get this extremely precious core obsession.

But Goto Ichiri herself knew very well that she was not lucky to accept a certain test at that time, but that the strange creature had locked her and triggered the killing rules to attack her. If she had not made a decisive decision at the last minute, and realized through her own musical sense and blessing that the strange creature was actually playing a certain emotion when playing the guitar, and then tried to imitate and keep up with this emotion with her guitar, the girl would have been killed on the spot.

In the following six hours, in the eyes of others, this was a hearty challenge of the player's top-level core obsession, and finally won a glorious victory. But for Goto Ichiri himself, it was a harsh and suffocating torture.

The evil creature named Asamoto Eriko was not playing a piece of music at all. Those noisy notes that were not a melody at all were essentially the manifestation of extreme madness. Despair, pain, rage, distortion... these emotions were released with the crazy music, exerting all-round pollution. In order to survive, Goto Ichiri had to do her best to imitate the other party's music, forcibly combining her own performance with the evil performance, so that the weirdo could not distinguish between herself and Goto Ichiri, and thus avoid its killing.

This emergency measure barely saved Goto Ichiri's life at first, but Asamoto Eriko's performance changed very quickly and a lot, and all kinds of distorted emotions were almost constantly changing. For this reason, Goto Ichiri had to concentrate on playing with the other party's rhythm for more than four hours before finally keeping up with the other party completely, making it impossible for this weirdo who identified the player based on the music to recognize her. But even so, Goto Ichiri's own situation was still extremely dangerous, because as long as she stopped playing for a while, no, even if she couldn't keep up with the other party's performance, the weirdo would immediately find her and attack.

At that time, neither Nanami nor Kita could rescue Goto Ichiri, because her actions had tied her to the monster, and outsiders could no longer interfere with the concert between humans and the monster.

If it continued like this, there was no doubt that Goto Ichiri, whose physical strength and energy had limits, would eventually die.

But with more than four hours of continuous playing, she gradually began to understand the emotions expressed by this strange thing, and realized that there was something missing in the other party's performance, and there were some tones that were deliberately concealed. It's like a song that only keeps looping in the intro and never gets to the point. It needs further guidance to release the next thing.

Then she tried the tune that channeled the creature.

Instead of echoing the other party's crazy and distorted voice, I try to add my own notes to the playing and try to introduce other emotions.

At the beginning, this almost killed the mentally exhausted Goto Kazuri on the spot.

But with the support of Nanami Aoyama and Ikuyo Kita, she finally persevered and began to try to modify the content of the performance again and again, trying to turn herself into the protagonist of the concert.

Then, at the cost of exhausting the life-saving obsessions of himself and Ikuyo Kita and losing most of Nanami Aoyama's obsessions, Goto Kazuri finally found the hidden emotions and played them out to join During this loop of performance. The strange thing's performance began to be led astray by the girl, and gradually began to play along with her. And when Ichisato Goto finally took the initiative and played a complete song of his own band, completely covering up the music of Eriko Asamoto, the strange thing disappeared without a trace, and the core obsession The Mono-guitar automatically flew in front of Goto Ichiri and was taken by her.

The hidden emotions are regret, sadness, and a hint of expectation and joy.

As for more specific information, Ichiri Goto didn't know, but of course she shared this information. Takakai speculated that Eriko Asamoto's last wish was to see that [teacher] again, which included reference to this piece of information provided by Ichiri Goto.

If the story only stopped here, it might indeed be called a beautiful story of victory after hardships.

However, Goto Kazuri and others, who had struggled to obtain the guitar that was their obsession at that time, still had a lot of time to complete the task of "survive in the dungeon for 24 hours". At that time, the situation of the three of them was already very bad, even if Obtaining this core obsession guitar cannot change their disadvantage.

For players who are struggling in the Red Moon level dungeon, backstabbing each other is a rare behavior, because everyone has a difficult time, and everyone is also aware of the possible chain reactions of doing so. But if it is a team that has suffered heavy losses, but if it is a Red Moon-level core obsession that can greatly change the team's combat power, the situation is completely different.

Although no one from the other player teams took action at that time, although everyone inevitably became greedy, they still carefully restrained themselves from actually taking action. But as the survival time gradually approaches the last few hours, the environment in the dungeon becomes increasingly harsh and harsh. Under the survival crisis, more and more players begin to pay attention to Goto Ichiri's team. Among the survivors, The atmosphere in the room gradually began to change.

Qingshan Nanami realized at that time that an accident was likely to occur if this continued, so the three of them left the team at the last hour and went to another place in the dungeon that was currently relatively safe. That was also one of the investigation areas they were responsible for at the beginning, which was the 10th underground floor of the main teaching building.

And the tragedy happened there.

"That thing... it has no shape, no sound, no color, no breath..."

Gotou lowered his head and whispered in a weak voice.

Her body was trembling slightly, and her emotions made Goto Ichiri reluctant to further recall the scene at that moment, but her reason was forcing her to think of those things that made her painful.

"It felt really strange and strange. We didn't see anything. There was nothing on the other side of the corridor. There was no feedback. But all of us thought that there was something there."

"We can't see it, we can't feel it, we can't describe it, but we instinctively feel that it is there, but we can feel that it is coming towards us, approaching us step by step. All means of confrontation cannot It takes effect because neither the obsession nor the blessing can select the target and cannot find this thing that does not exist. "

"Then, she (Kita Yuyo) rushed up..."

Chapter 69: The autistic girl who is good at playing the little theater in her head and the emergence of mutations

Ichiri Goto himself does not know how Kita Ikuyo ended up in this possessed state.

That point in time is already close to the end of the game and is about to return to the real world. Moreover, after Kita Ikuyo sacrificed his life to buy time for Ichisato and Nanami, the remaining two people did not dare to stay to observe the specific situation, but took this opportunity to escape.

To be precise, Nanami escaped by dragging her one mile that she refused to walk. It was also after that incident that Nanami's cautious style began to become more cautious, which is why the things that prevented the true concubine and others from taking action happened before.

As for Gao Hai, in addition to lamenting Goto Ichiri's terrifying maneuvers when facing the core obsession, he couldn't help but think about the fact that her team encountered the third core obsession, and soon realized that Goto Ichiri was The reason why our team was in danger when their vitality was severely damaged, and the highest level of [Ghost Stories without Roots] faced them head-on, was probably not a matter of luck, but some guy who couldn't afford to play tricks secretly.

After all, the KP called [writer] is really a giant baby that cannot be played with. Through subsequent analysis, Goto Ichiri imitated the performance of the weird, guided and changed the performance of the weird, stimulated the residual emotions of the weird before his death, and made the other party imitate her performance in the process of six consecutive hours of super-high-intensity anti-human solo. In fact, she made herself more like Eriko than Asamoto Eriko herself in terms of rules, so she tampered with the ownership of the obsession guitar and obtained it.

It can be said that this is something that is basically impossible for anyone else to do except Xiao Boqi. From the player's perspective, this operation is a miracle that cannot be replicated. But precisely because it is a miracle, it will never be accepted by the [writer]. In the eyes of the stupid literary youth who blindly advocates tragedy, relying on human will, talent and hard work to complete an impossible miracle is undoubtedly an extremely disgusting situation for it, so it will definitely target Goto Ichiri's team, and Kita Ikuyo's half-deadness is like a scar deliberately used to mock Xiao Boqi, and it lures this desperate girl to return to the copy to try to save her friend.

[The lovely girl achieved a miracle with courage and perseverance, but she paid the price of her friend. In the end, in order to save her friend who died because of her, she tried to achieve a miracle again in despair, but sadly lost to reality and slept in darkness with her friend. Ah, what a wonderful story]

Takahashi could even imagine the expression and words of the writer.

It was really disgusting and made people want to vomit. It was obviously killed, but it still jumped out from time to time to disgust people. No, next time I go to the bloody city, I must give this thing a few hard hits to calm down.

After cursing the unlucky thing [writer] in his heart, Takahashi continued to listen to Goto Ichiri with an unchanged expression on his face.

Kumimi, who was standing outside the house, had already smoked his fifth cigarette.

Chihua and Miko were still sleeping quietly. It seemed that it would take a while for them to wake up.

There is still no progress on the side of the real princess in the mental link, but at least they have not been attacked by anything yet, so they can only be safe for the time being.

"..."

After Goto Ichiri finished talking about the disappearance of Kita Ikuyo and her return to the real world with Aoyama Nanami, she became quiet and stopped talking, and her body shrank slightly.

Recalling the painful experience in the past is obviously quite sad for the girl. In fact, Gao Hai has noticed that there are some crystal flashes in the corners of Xiao Boqi's eyes. Obviously, she is trying her best not to cry.

Such a pitiful little girl has to survive hard in the copy. Oh, forget it, the situation here is not much better, so I'd better think about what to do next.

Suppressing the irritability in his heart, Gao Hai tried to analyze the specific situation of Kita Ikuyo now.

"That, you... you, can you really save her?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Boqi couldn't help but speak again, looking at Gao Hai with a little hope and a little fear.

For the girl, she really couldn't think of any way to save her friend who was possessed by the Red Moon-level core obsession. In fact, in the eyes of any player, Kita Ikuyo's situation was enough to be judged as completely dead, and there was no possibility of rescue. If it weren't for Gao Hai's appearance, to be honest, Goto Ichiri himself had more or less given up this extravagant hope and dared not continue to expect it.

But, what if it is really possible?

If it is this "miracle"...

"Well, I will."

Gao Hai nodded lightly, and the answer sounded very flat, as if it was just a trivial matter.

"Really, really?"

Goto Ichiri subconsciously moved closer to Gao Hai and asked again in a low voice.

"Of course it's true, but I definitely can't do it alone. I need your help. I need you to help me act together."

Gao Hai continued to nod and said, while his eyes kept watching the changes in Goto Ichiri's expression.

"Then, then what do I need to do?"

The anxious girl's voice subconsciously became louder, but then she noticed that Chika, who was sleeping against Gao Hai, unconsciously curled her lips and moved her body, so she quickly covered her mouth and calmed down.

She became a little excited while talking, and almost forgot that there were other people.

Ichiri Goto, who realized that she had lost her composure, looked very embarrassed. She had subconsciously imagined in her little theater in her mind that she was sentenced to death for speaking too loudly.

"Hawu...ahwu...ramen...good..."

Chika, who was sleeping soundly, mumbled indistinct dreams, and her whole body fell on Gao Hai.

"Woo..."

Jizi was not sleeping well. She seemed to have a nightmare and dreamed of something not so good, so her little hand subconsciously grabbed Gao Hai's wrist and squeezed it tightly.

As for Gao Hai's words, he didn't say anything more, but just smiled at Ichiri again.

The reason why I chose to communicate with this shy girl, in addition to confirming whether there were any omissions in the information about Kita Ikuyo, was actually to appease this important fighting force.

After all, since Kita Ikuyo appeared before, Goto Ichiri's mood has obviously begun to become unstable. In this case, it is necessary to communicate with her carefully, and make sure that she will not do anything irrational due to the stimulation she has received, and stabilize her mental state.

Of course, Gao Hai did not deny that he also wanted to increase the familiarity between himself and Ichiri, to ensure that the girl can trust him more in getting along with each other, so as to ensure that the cooperation between them is smoother. As for the favorability, as long as it is not a yandere, of course the higher the better.

However, Gao Hai did not realize that because he did not immediately answer Ichiri's question about "what needs to be done", the other party's little drama in his mind has begun to run wild.

This Mr. Gao, is he going to want me to do that kind of thing?

Little Pochi, whose knowledge reserves are already fully adult, couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.
