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

"This dirty headband... No, it's not a headband. It's just a piece of cloth torn from a T-shirt, right? And it's a men's T-shirt, Miss Kaguya, what's going on? I hope you can tell me."

The maid with long golden hair stepped forward and asked the rag with suspicious red and white stains in her hand.

"This..."

Kaguya lowered her head and looked at the rag, her eyes slightly frozen.

Then, as if she had thought of something, Kaguya reached out and gently tapped the rag.

"It seems that a slight change of style is not bad, um. Then, please ask Hayasaka to help me choose a suitable red headband."

Interlude 1-03: Shijo Shinki wants to have a serious conversation

In the end, the result of the security guards' best efforts was that they had no way to catch up with Gao Hai. They were easily thrown off by the other party. They could only stare at the other party in amazement as he jumped three meters high and landed outside the school, and then quickly disappeared into the residential area without a trace.

With Gao Hai's agility and nerve reaction that have exceeded human limits, it is easy to escape the pursuit of these security guards unless they are surrounded.

Even compared with hiding from those weird things in Shirakawa Apartment, Gao Hai now even feels a little comfortable in the process of escaping the encirclement. Well, of course, he still remembered to wear a mask and a hat to disguise himself when he was escaping. He also used sunglasses as a cover when he was looking for Zhenfei all the way, and avoided most of the surveillance.

However, despite this, in the process of escaping from Shuchiyuan and using the residential area to get rid of the security guards, Gao Hai still noticed a figure following him. The other party's physical fitness is very strong, so strong that it is no longer something that ordinary people can have. It gives him the feeling that it is the level that can only be achieved by the second dimension people or the players who have passed the game and got the blessing. But even so, the other party's speed is still not as good as Gao Hai, who is now slightly stepping into the superhuman level, so he got rid of the other party in a short while.

"Huh, then, the stickers are done, let's go home."

Mumbling to himself, Gao Hai avoided the surveillance cameras at various intersections and sneaked back home, changed his clothes, and then lay back on the bed very simply, closed his eyes and slept until dusk.

Sitting up from the bed, feeling that the pressure accumulated in Shirakawa Apartment was completely exhausted, Gao Hai breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at his watch.

The scale of this watch is now firmly stopped at the number 2.

There are 10 chances to start over.

After disintegrating the ghost story core of Shirakawa Apartment and causing the entire apartment to collapse and dissipate, his watch absorbed all the derivative existences that lost the support of the ghost story core, turning them into nutrients for the watch, thus restoring 1 scale.

In other words, in order to restore his number of rollbacks, Gao Hai must destroy the ghost story core of the copy and crack the key obsession of the entire copy. Only in this way can he use the power of the watch to absorb those derivatives and increase the number of rollbacks for himself.

It doesn't sound like an easy thing.

But now, we can only take it one step at a time.

Gao Hai couldn't help but think of the time when the watch activated this ability. At that time, he seemed to be affected by something. The emotions at that moment, and the words he said, were not so much that he wanted to say those words and do those things, but rather that something helped him do all this.

"... Do you actually have self-awareness?"

Gao Hai couldn't help but look at the black watch on his left hand and asked.

No answer.

Of course, there was no answer.

But Gao Hai became more and more suspicious that there was a certain consciousness inside this mysterious watch.

He longed to start over, so he got the power to roll back.

He wanted to kill the two old players and didn't want the people he cared about to forget him, so he got the ability to recycle obsessions and bring people back together.

Then at the critical moment of leaving the dungeon, his watch had the ability to absorb the existence derived from the ghost story.

Just right.

Everything was just so right.

But why?

Gao Hai didn't think that all this was just a story of [Deus Ex Machina].

The moment he activated the watch, he knew that he would eventually have to pay for this power. When the scale was reset to zero and the 12 chances he was given were used up, he would have to pay the price and stay in the city of death forever. Although he didn't know what would happen if he stepped into the city, Gao Hai didn't think it was a good thing.

What exactly are you?

Thinking like this, Gao Hai couldn't help but think of the box he picked up in the hut.

After waking up, the box was gone.

Also gone was the note left on the box.

[Don't let anyone know where you came from]

He could still remember the words on the note clearly, so clearly that it made him shudder.

Ah, it felt like he was deeply involved in a conspiracy.

Gao Hai scratched his head.

Moreover, this [Sacrifice Game] doesn’t have any instructions for newcomers. He still doesn’t know what the characteristics of the three difficulty levels of dusk, dark night and red moon are. Is there any player summary of this game itself? Basic rules and stuff like that. The only three players I met in the dungeon who had experienced the game, Lao Guo and the traitor girl were pure cerebral palsy, and they were idiots who couldn't communicate and could only be killed. Green...well, this guy's various reactions have always made me nervous. Gao Hai suspected that he was lucky enough to have a super thigh to pass the test, so he didn't know all the information about the sacrifice game.

There must be a gathering place for players to communicate.

There must be some way to find places where other players can communicate and interact with each other.

Both Lao Guo and the traitor came specifically to Baichuan's apartment. They had some knowledge of that apartment in advance, and they probably obtained the corresponding information somewhere. Moreover, the system prompt also said that admission tickets can be traded, which means that there is likely to be a trading market among players.

Speaking of which, why didn’t I get the ticket after I cleared the game? Could it be because I crashed my copy of the game?

All kinds of thoughts are going around in my mind.

Gao Hai decided to get up from the bed and search on the computer to see if he could find any clues. He picked up the mobile phone he found in the house, which should have belonged to the former [Gao Hai]. As soon as he turned on the screen, he saw several Missed calls.

Um? Whose number is this?

Gao Hai, who didn't think about it for a moment, called back. Almost as soon as he dialed, the call was connected directly. The next moment, a girl's voice with suppressed anger rang from the phone.

"Haijun, do you know how much I have been suffering until now?"

Even if he couldn't see the other person's face, Gao Hai could feel the girl's angry look.

"Ah, true concubine?"

At this time, Gao Haicai suddenly realized that when he hugged each other in Xiuzhiyuan, before letting go of Zhenfei and preparing to run away, he whispered to the girl his phone number, which was the phone number he found at home. Number.

As a result, he didn't receive a call for a while after returning home, and he was really tired, so he simply took a nap.

Unexpectedly, I missed the other party's call while sleeping. It turned out that the phone was on mute. I didn't notice it at all before. By the way, I remember that Neon’s mobile phone cannot be muted? Or is my phone a special edition?

"I'm very sorry. I was very tired when I got back, so I took a nap."

Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Gao Hai began to apologize without any hesitation, his tone and attitude were extremely sincere.

"Aren't I tired? I have to work hard to escape from that ghost place and have to go to class for a day, and do you know what the rumors about me are in the school now? A pure girl who was deceived by a bad guy outside the school, just Because of your hug. In broad daylight, a strange man hugged a girl whose clothes were full of stains and tears. Do you know how much trouble you have caused me-"

The girl whose voice was getting louder and louder was like an angry lioness, roaring through the phone.

Gao Hai was already considering whether to take a picture of Tuxiazao and send it to him as an apology. However, after the other party roared, he quickly returned to his normal tone.

"In short, don't break into the school in the future. Even if you do, at least wear tasteful clothes and take care of your image. Don't sneak in and steal the teacher's clothes like you did today. Since It’s about paying more attention to your image in the real world.”

"I keep all the obsessions you gave me with me. These things can still be used in the real world. I'm worried about the risk of losing control, so we have to meet tomorrow to transfer these obsessions to the black watch that can pass through. You are the one who is taking care of me. I have also contacted my great-aunt. She has some helpers that can be mobilized to help her search for traces of other players. Don’t look for them randomly, as you may be counter-tracked.”

"Lao Guo and the woman disguised as Maeda Miwa gave me a very bad feeling. Maybe the player group itself is not united, and may even be in a predatory state of the jungle. As new players, although it seems that we have got a lot of It’s a nice improvement, but it’s not a good thing if you’re being watched secretly.”

"In addition, I found that my body has become a lot stronger. Whether it is strength, speed, or body coordination and control, it is completely different from before. The strange voice talking about the sacrifice game said that I got an A-level evaluation, and then I also heard the voice of a little girl saying goodbye to me, and then I found that I could feel the kindness and malice of people around me. As long as a person stands in front of me, I can instinctively know whether he will be good to me or not. . Although the judgment is vague, I think this should be the blessing given to me by that child.”

"You also got this power, right? It's better to be more careful. Our power needs a little time to control after it is improved. During class in the afternoon, I accidentally pulled down the classroom door handle. Hey, hey, are you listening? Why haven’t you spoken for a long time?”

It was obvious that the true concubine really had a lot to tell Gao Hai, so that she kept chattering for a long time before she noticed that there was no sound at all from Gao Hai's side, and she immediately started shouting with dissatisfaction.

"I'm listening. We need to meet tomorrow, right? When, morning or afternoon? About what time?"

Gao Hai spoke quickly, his voice full of concentration and enthusiasm.

"After all the talk, you only heard one thing about meeting, right?! Ha, that's enough, you really make me wonder what to say. Because of you, I became the focus of the whole school. My father also called to ask if I was dating a weird guy. It's all your fault."

The girl's voice was filled with resentment at this moment.

"You can answer your father and tell him that I'm not a weird guy."

Gao Hai thought for a while and said tentatively.

"Do you think you can get me to admit that I'm dating you by beating around the bush like this? You idiot, how can you become a boyfriend and girlfriend after knowing each other for four days? Such things... should be. Should be more cautious. You, don't be so anxious all the time, can't you give me a little... a little time to think? My mind is still very confused now, I can't think about such things..."

From anger, to shame, to shy and hesitant stage, it took less than ten seconds in total.

Gao Hai didn't know whether to say that this guy was doing it on purpose or was born that way. He could only say that the two-dimensional girls were really amazing in their ability to act cute.

"I know, sorry, maybe I was a little anxious. Anyway, we all survived safely, which is a good thing worth celebrating. I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, Zhenfei."

Therefore, the corners of his mouth curled up more and more, and the joy in his voice was completely undisguised.

"Wu... What nonsense are you talking about again? Anyway, don't come here tomorrow in a decent manner!"

Beep——

In the end, the girl hung up first and ended the call hastily.

Gao Hai put down the phone and sat on the chair in front of the desk on one side of the bedroom. After sitting for a long time, he shook his fists and whispered "Okay".

No matter what situation he would encounter next, Gao Hai felt that he was ready to face it. What the hell is this supernatural horror and weird story set? He just wants to please the otaku and fall in love. Ah, of course, it is also important to collect information and intelligence to understand his own situation, but it is better not to delay both.

When thinking about this, Gao Hai turned his head to look out the window, and then lowered his head to look at his phone.

Then he paused and turned his eyes back to the window.

He stared at the pale face of the woman stuck on the glass outside the window for a moment.

Gao Hai:? ? ?

Interlude 1-04: Visible phantom and the beginning of a new day

What's going on?

In an instant, Gao Hai's whole body tensed up, and he almost stood up and ran out of the bedroom door immediately.

He had clearly escaped from the copy.

And throughout the day, he had clearly not encountered any abnormalities, and he had been in a safe environment. Why did this kind of thing appear just as night was about to fall? Could it be that there are all kinds of weird things in the real world? It's just that they usually exist in a state separated from ordinary people and will not be discovered by people. Because I participated in the rule ghost story game, my [horizon] was opened in a sense, so I can see these things?

Various thoughts flashed through Gao Hai's mind quickly.

But soon, he frowned.

He didn't feel anything from the face of the woman in front of him.

Through the blessing given to him by the little girl, Gao Hai had the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and between people and non-people.

This ability did not work on the big face in front of him.

It was as if this thing did not exist here, or it was just a natural phenomenon, and it did not have any tendency or emotion.

"..."

After a brief hesitation, Gao Hai stood up, walked to the desk, and stretched out his hand to open the window.

The woman's face just looked forward and continued to float motionlessly.

And Gao Hai had already reached out and tried to touch the other party.

His hand went straight through the thing.

Nothing was touched.

This thing seemed to be some kind of stereoscopic projection or something, and it did not have a touchable entity at all.

But, what exactly is this? Why did he see this thing?

After a brief thought, Gao Hai put on his clothes and walked out of the house.

This time he saw more things.

Under the dark sky that was about to fall at night.

In the sky, twisted figures floated in the city, in the air, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear, sometimes disappearing, and sometimes suddenly appearing.

Gao Hai saw countless corpses, countless weird things, countless twisted and grotesque things.

Most of them were still floating in the sky, but some, such as the pale woman's face, had fallen from the sky and floated aimlessly in every corner of the city.

People on the street walked by and ignored them, and they also didn't pay attention to those passers-by.

Occasionally, someone would pass through those things directly, and those things would also pass through pedestrians, vehicles, walls and other things on the road, just like the strange things in the bug game that lost the collision volume and could easily pass through the wall, like running a wrong program, like an illusion, floating unnoticed.

What on earth are these?
