Chapter 231: There was a tacit understanding
In the midst of everyone's ridicule, Maeda took Natsuki and his sister to a house that belonged to him.
The house is simply built of wooden planks, and although it looks simple, it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
And as Maeda pushed the door open, everything in the room appeared in front of Natsuki's eyes.
There is no excessive decoration, just a simple bed, and then there are some simple decorations on the wooden wall, which is where Maeda lives now.
"Sorry, it's a bit shabby." Maeda said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, we're here to talk about things, aren't we? As long as you can talk about things, it's fine. Natsuki said absently, and finally looked at a simple stool next to the bed and asked, "Can I sit here?" ”
"Yes, please be seated, the place is basic, I'm sorry." Maeda Mae sat directly on the bed with his sister Rina Maeda and said.
"I said I don't care, and Maeda-san doesn't care either! So, let's get started. Natsuki looked at the brother and sister sitting side by side and said.
"Okay, Kazama-san, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask." Maeda nodded heavily.
"So, first of all, can you tell me what happened before you were trapped here?" Natsuki asked.
"Well, I really don't remember anything special happening, I just fought monsters and upgraded with Reina-chan as usual, and then collected all kinds of resources, and when I went back to town, I sold the resources and went offline, no different from usual. Then that day, when I went offline like Rina, I found that I was obviously offline, but I was still in the game, and Lina was successfully offline, only I couldn't go offline in the game. Speaking of the events of the previous few days again, Maeda seemed to recall the panic at that time, with a somewhat bitter smile on his face.
"I was so flustered that I didn't know what was going on, I couldn't go offline after countless attempts, and at one point I even suspected that something had happened to me. It's the kind of person who travels alone to another world similar to the game.,Isn't it very popular lately.。 Maeda said that he was a little embarrassed again.
"It wasn't until I realized that there were still a lot of players on the street that I realized that I hadn't crossed over, I just couldn't get off the line! Then I also wanted to ask the official for help, but I found that the message I sent to the official was like a stone in the sea, and no one paid attention to me at all, and then I tried to ask for help from others, and I was treated like a fool, and everyone thought I was joking. Maeda recalled that time, and the expression on his face was not good-looking.
"Then the next day, after my sister went online again, I told my sister that I wasn't offline, and I learned from my sister, in reality, I was obviously offline, but I just became a little unfamiliar! I didn't know the reason before.,I had all kinds of speculations with my sister.,It wasn't until my sister brought what Kazama-san said.,I realized.,It turned out to be me.,It's just that there's only a little consciousness on my body.。 Maeda smiled bitterly.
"In other words, you're not stuck here because something happened to you, or that you triggered something, right?" Natsuki nodded and asked.
"That's right, I didn't trigger any events, and I'm sure I didn't get any tasks related to that." Maeda nodded heavily.
"Then let me ask one more thing, have you lived here for a few days, and you are familiar with everyone outside?" Natsuki continued to ask.
"Yes, everyone is very nice people, and I am thanks to everyone for taking care of me these days." Maeda nodded and said.
"So, do you all have anything in common? I mean, are there any common characteristics of those of you whose consciousness has been left in this world? Natsuki said.
"The common denominator? I think about it, I really haven't thought about it, but when you mention it, I really think about it, somewhere that feels a little strange these days. Maeda frowned slightly and thought.
Natsuki and Rina Maeda waited expectantly.
A moment later, Maeda suddenly realized that there was a result.
"I thought about it, and I really thought of something in common." Maeda said with an expression of discovery of a new continent.
"What is it?" Rina Maeda asked more eagerly than Natsuki.
But it's true, after all, it's her brother who is trapped, and of course she cares more.
"Personality, I've found out these days, everyone's personality is really too similar, although I seem to be a little boastful when I say this, but everyone, including me, seems to be very enthusiastic about people, and people who are willing to help others are very good people." Maeda said with a serious face.
"Ah, really, brother, you're still joking at this time, what kind of common denominator is this, everyone is trapped here, and it's natural to help each other find a way out of trouble." Rina Maeda looked at her brother with disgust.
"No, not for granted! There are many people who pass the buck to each other in the predicament, fall into the well, and even think that everything is possible to hurt themselves! How can it be that all the people who are trapped are such a coincidence of personality. Natsuki shook his head, affirming Maeda's judgment.
"Huh? Is that really the common denominator? Rina Maeda was stunned for a moment.
"Chances are, that's the common denominator, and that's why these people, including your brother, were stayed." Natsuki nodded and said.
"But, but why? Do you want to keep people with such a character? Rina Maeda was still puzzled.
"yes, why? I'm a little bit of an eyebrow, but I can't confirm it yet. Natsuki shook his head and said.
"Does Kazama-san know anything?" Maeda said with a shock in his spirits.
"Yes, so I need to check it out now, so I'll take my leave." Natsuki stood up and said.
"Okay, then please Kazama-san." Maeda stood up, bowed solemnly to Natsuki, and said.
"Please, Kazama-san." Rina Maeda also bowed.
"You're welcome, after all, have I accepted the commission! See you later. Natsuki nodded at the two of them, then turned and walked out of the small wooden house.
"Kazama-san, I'll send you." Maeda followed closely and said.
"No need, you can accompany your sister first, she is very worried about you, and I have to take a look around here and observe." Natsuki looked at the group of people around him, even in such a situation, who were still very lively, and seeing that they could talk and laugh in this situation, he knew that he must be a very optimistic group of people.
"Understood." Maeda Maio immediately knew that Natsuki wanted to get to know these people so that he could judge if they were really enthusiastic people as he said.
This is also the proper meaning of the question, after all, a person's feeling is unreliable, or two more people to judge it, how to say it is also a major matter involving everyone to get out of trouble, but you can't be sloppy.
So Maeda finally nodded at Natsuki, turned around and went back to the wooden house, leaving Natsuki alone, and spun around on the roof of the skyscraper.
"Yo, isn't this the young man who just came back with little Mazuo? Why are you alone, do you want to come over and sing together? An uncle who was holding a guitar and singing to himself greeted Natsuki.
"No, I just wanted to walk around here, thanks for the invitation." Natsuki smiled and waved his hand.
"Haha, then you can go around by yourself, there is no need to be restrained here, everyone is a very good person! To be honest, I kind of liked it and didn't want to leave. Uncle Guitar smiled heartily and continued to play the guitar.
Natsuki, on the other hand, continued to walk here, and soon someone else accosted him.
"Boy, let's dance together." Several people gathered together to dance also greeted him.
Look at their men, women, young and old, everyone is lively.
And along with one person inviting Natsuki, the rest of the people also discovered Natsuki's existence.
"Come on, come on, let's jump together."
"No, no, I still have some things, and I'm already leaving." Natsuki gestured in the direction of the elevator, meaning that he was about to take the elevator and leave.
"Are you leaving? It's a pity, but I'll remember to come back next time. Although everyone was very reluctant, they could only regret it.
At the same time, several people waved at Natsuki, and kept saying, "I must come again." ”
"Let's dance together next time."
Something like that.
So under everyone's attention, Xia Shu is not good to continue shopping, since he has already said that he wants to go, plus in fact, he is almost shopping, after all, there is not much place here, there are only dozens of people in total, and Xia Shu has seen almost it, so he really nodded to everyone, and then turned around and left.
So when Natsuki entered the elevator, he could still see people outside waving to him from afar, and it wasn't until the elevator door closed that Natsuki was isolated from everyone.
The elevator goes all the way down, and through the transparent elevator window, Natsuki can see the night view of the brightly lit steel city in the distance.
The slums in front of you are much darker in comparison.
Xia Shu came all the way to the bottom floor, and walked out of the elevator with the elevator door open, looking at the dark alley in front of him, with only sporadic street lights, in contrast to the brilliant lights in the distance, it was really a stark contrast.
So after taking a few steps, Natsuki was out of the slum.
However, Natsuki did not continue to stay in the game, but quit the game directly.
That's right, it's quitting the game.
Natsuki rolled over on the bed and put the game helmet he had just taken off on the head of the bed, at this time outside the window in reality, it was already time for the lights to shine, Natsuki stood up, as if he had just done before entering the game, and pushed open the window again and looked out of the window.
Looking at the lights in the distance and the lights in the distance, the whole of Tokyo is illuminated.
Then take a deep breath.
"Sure enough, this is the reality, although the difference is very subtle, ordinary people may not feel it, but there is indeed a difference!" Natsuki felt the subtle difference, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What, then, is the purpose of trapping the human soul in the virtual? No matter how you think about it, it should be related to Magatama! And they are all people who have the passion of this special craft, and the purpose is even clearer, do you want to forge Magatama dominated by this emotion? Sure enough, I still have to ask her. Natsuki muttered to herself, then closed the window and turned to walk out of the room.
Opening and closing, Natsuki came to the outside of the room, but instead of going downstairs, he came directly to the next room and knocked on the door.
At first, there was silence in the room, and it wasn't until Natsuki knocked a few more times that a lazy response came from the room, "It's coming, wait a minute." ”
After a while, a beautiful woman in a nightgown opened the door and looked at Natsuki with a surprised expression, this person was naturally Saori Kamiyo.
"Is it Natsuki-kun? Is there anything wrong with Xia Shujun coming to me? Saori Kamiyo said with some surprise in her eyes and a little smile.
"What? Don't you invite me in? Natsuki completely ignored Saori Kamiyo's sexy nightgown and said directly.
"Huh? Did Natsuki-kun actually want to enter the lady's room at night? I really can't imagine that Xia Shujun is such a person. Saori Kamiyo said teasingly.
"Well, if you're not welcome, I'll just go back." Natsuki said with a nonchalant smile.
"Who said it's not a good drink, Xia Shujun come in." Saori Kamiyo let go of half of her position and continued to look at Natsuki teasingly.
"Okay, thanks for the invitation." Natsuki didn't care, so he walked in directly.
Then Saori Kamiyo closed the door and returned to the room.
"Okay, Xia Shujun sit down, what do you want to drink?" Saori Kamiyo asked naturally, as if the person who teased Natsuki just now was not her.
And for the attitude of Saori Kamiyo, who is like a variety of demon girls, Natsuki doesn't care at all.
"Black tea is fine." Natsuki is a natural pointer.
"Black tea? Natsuki-kun wait a minute. Saori Kamiyo said and really started to brew tea.
After a while, a pot of tea was brewed, and Saori Kamiyo brought it out and poured a cup of tea for Natsuki.
And in this process, Natsuki has been sitting quietly in front of the tatami, waiting for the tea brewed by Saori Kamiyo, not in a hurry at all.
Soon, a cup of tea was in his hand, and Natsuki took a sip and nodded with satisfaction.
"Actually, I came to you because I wanted to ask you something." After Natsuki drank the tea, he said directly.
"What's the matter, Xia Shujun just said it directly." Saori Kamiyo responded with an expression that I had already guessed that you wouldn't come over if you had something.
In this regard, the two seem to have a tacit understanding.
