The next day, Akihabara went under martial law.

It's not because of the appearance of the killer, the reason is very simple, after all, death is painless for adventurers.

A group of well-guarded adventurers dressed in white robes and wrapped from head to toe. With a spray pole in their hands and a large wooden bucket full of disinfectant on their backs, they sprayed disinfectant on the street every distance they walked.

This stems from the fact that a murderer who can teleport and is still focused on getting things done is running around.

And then the epidemic spread.

The most fundamental perpetrator and the unleasher of the source of the virus epidemic is sitting on the floor at this moment, and in front of him is the original pathogen holder and developer of Wen Xun who rushed back to Akiba, Qiu Mo.

Qiu Ting Yuba whispered weakly, "Actually, I didn't expect that the vial epidemic pathogen would be so powerful, let alone that it could survive for so long in a natural environment of minus seven or eight degrees." "Defend yourself.

Originally, according to her status and status, even if she poked such a big basket and was questioned in public, she should not have knelt on the floor to such a degree of treatment, but the first person to come to the door was a member of her guild and a friend for many years...

Qiu Mo was still angry and half-crazy at this time, and scolded back bitterly: "I didn't expect it? What's wrong with it, it's just to take away my occasional bottle of baby blight strains that I have to collect!? Take it and use it, forget it? Pour out the whole bottle for me! ”

"Uh, that..."Autumn Courtyard Yuba was also sweating profusely, and it was difficult to organize the words to appease: "Qiuqiu... Qiuqiu, why don't you do a clinical trial, I'll help? I think you have a lot of work to do to keep track of detailed data, right? ”

"Really?" After a while, the anger on Qiu Mo's face subsided a little, and he asked in an inquiring tone, "I've recently extracted several new plagues from monsters, huh?" Would you really like to contribute to scientific research? ”

The words of the dialogue focus on the two words "in person", and its meaning is self-evident.

Thinking of the weird and uncomfortable feeling, the girl hesitated for a moment, but when she saw the other party's face clouded, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Hmm! It's true! The answer came down.

The adventurers on the side all watched this scene in their eyes and couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

(It's really the group of madmen who went to the courtyard don't mess with it, although the dream that I saw after death was a bit painful and embarrassing, but compared to being a test subject of a bacterial infection myself?) It's better to be dead, right? ）

It's a public lecture hall at the Loderick Chamber of Commerce, and it feels like a university classroom.

Today there is a 'research conference' for adventurers, at least the middle and senior members of the guilds of the 'Round Table Council'.

It happened that Loderick came in through the side door, unraveling the embarrassing situation of Autumn Court Yuba at this time.

The girl stood up calmly as if nothing had happened, and found a seat where no one was there, of course, others didn't dare to say anything more in person.

(It's terrible...... I knew that I wouldn't have run out to avoid the limelight if I knew it would be like this, and it would be as uproar in my guild as it is now? ）

"Ah~ It's no problem to listen while eating, the interim report of the investigation has been released." Loderick gestured to the adventurers who were discussing cooking skills, and then stretched the whip as several assistants hung up a peg slightly smaller than the blackboard.

"There are three things I want to report to you."

"The first is about the gender difference with the real world, players who use characters of different genders in the real world, regardless of the original gender in the real world, will change towards the gender of the character and move closer to it, the most obvious point is the player's voice......"

There was a slight commotion among the participants on the field, after all, playing a game, it is normal for many players to create characters of a different gender than themselves.

Listening to Loderick's speech on the stage, the ball mill sitting next to the audience poked Qiuting Xiye and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" You're going to be a real girl! Surprise or not? Happy or not? ”

"Don't make a fuss about it! What do you have to say so far? ”

Seeing that there was no fluctuation in the other party's heart, Qiu Mo "cut~" and focused his attention back to the lecture.

"The second is optical observation, although there are still many cases that have not been confirmed, but after our long-term observations, we have found that between Akihabara and Mt. Fuji, no! It should mean that the distance between any two points is increasing at a slight rate. ”

One of the adventurers raised his hand, and after receiving approval, "What do you say in your words, President?" Is it true that the size of this city, Yamato, or the world is increasing? Inquiry.

"That's right." Loderick nodded, affirming the questioner's words.

(My guess is correct, the deteriorating debris is closing in the details of this world...... ）

After giving the seated adventurers time to think, discuss, and digest, Loderick continued to signal his assistant to put on a new drawing and pick up the whip again.

The adventurers, who were still discussing, fell silent and waited for the next topic.

"The last thing is about the background description of props, our well-known weapons and equipment and props explanatory texts in addition to the basic information to explain the provenance, characteristics, and role of props are embellishments, explain the view of the world, and increase the setting of the game atmosphere, which does not have much role in the game era, and can be said to be dispensable."

(If it was really dispensable, it wouldn't be brought up here, would it?) ）

Just as Autumn Garden Xiye was thinking like this in her heart, Loderick's next words made the girl take it seriously.

"However, we found that some of the props showed exactly the same effect as the background text, is this a series of accidents? Or is this world of 'fantasy myths' still undergoing large-scale changes, and I think the cataclysm is likely to continue. ”

"This can be wonderful..."Qiu Mo frowned, leaned into the ear of Autumn Garden, and said, "I remember that one of the members of our guild uses curse-type equipment, right?" ”

"You're talking about the Frost Moon, right? I have the impression that after all, that set of equipment looks quite stylish, so it took a lot of thought to put together a whole set, right? ”

After saying that, Autumn Garden Yuba raised his hand, and after receiving the signal, he stood up and asked, "So did you say that it would affect the owner of the item?" For example, the murderer who has been heard in the streets and alleys recently, in the process of fighting, I observed some strange places. ”

Loderick was very curious and lifted his glasses, "Tell me about it?" Interested in asking.

"First of all, the guard didn't use the guard's standard weapon, and he was insane, but it didn't affect his skill... No, I don't think that belongs to the guard's skills. The Guards only relied on the overwhelming power of that set of power armor to suppress the adventurers in the 'Forbidden PK' area, and it was unlikely that they would have the kind of combat experience that would deal with several experienced adventurers at the same time. ”

"Oh? This is a living example, and we need to follow up. ”

Just as the two of them wanted to continue discussing this issue, the communication between Yuba Akiwa and Loderick rang at the same time, and the name of the contact person was not his friend, but the ID of the emergency contact person of the 'Round Table Council'.

This kind of reading from the emergency liaison officer will not be 100% good.

"State of emergency!! Please gather at the Guild Hall Meeting! ”

The liaison officer's tone was hurried, and after repeating the words, he hung up the words, probably contacting the next guild leader who held the seat, right?

"I'm actually going to meet in that council room, and now it's a big deal..."

When Loderick and Yuba Akiwa heard the news, they both did the same thing before rushing to meet with the other guild leaders, contacting their lieutenants and putting their guilds in a state of combat readiness.
