I don't know when it started to rain in the sky, and Shiraishi was prepared, so he took out a raincoat and unfolded it on himself.

After experiencing a certain virtual world, he found it inconvenient to run with an umbrella. Coupled with the unpredictable weather in this world, Shiraishi has prepared a lot of disposable folding raincoats.

The raindrops hit his body through the raincoat, and Shiraishi pulled down the transparent brim of the raincoat and entered the woods.

After walking some distance, through the bushes and branches, he saw a crimson umbrella in the distance.

- Two high school girls standing under a tree with an umbrella, wielding a mini flashlight, cast a not-so-bright pillar of light into the canopy in front of them.

After watching it for a while, Sonoko Suzuki closed the umbrella and slowly raised it, as if she wanted to poke something in the tree with the tip of the umbrella.

A small hand reached out from below and pulled her, as if trying to stop it, but was quickly slapped away by Sonoko Suzuki.

Although these people were not the target of the murderers, seeing this posture, Shiraishi was really a little curious about what they wanted to do.

He took a step sideways, bypassing a hanging branch in front of him, and saw a small honeycomb hanging from the tree in front of the three of them, and the tip of the umbrella in Suzuki's garden was getting closer and closer......

The spirit of death of the "......" young people is really admirable.

Shiraishi was silent and decided to stay away from them.

But before that, he suddenly noticed something moving in his field of vision—as if a black person had suddenly run past in a black background.

No, it's not like it...... This is really a person!

Shiraishi looked at the figure that had been completely detached from the dark background because of the proximity to the flashlight.

Almost at the same time, a water drop sounded in his ears, and the light screen popped up, and the task of refresh on it was:

[Save the weak and poor female high school student who is limited by the fear of ghosts x1]

【Countdown to Deadline】

[Location: Yes, evil is happening as far as your eyes can see]

…… The task detected a few seconds in advance, you still have a face to post, and you still have time to write this kind of secondary two notes!

Looking up again in a not very happy way, the bandaged man in a black robe was already under the cover of the rain, and approached behind Mao Lilan, who quietly held his axe high, ready to split.

But shouldn't the target of the bandage man be Tomokako Ikeda, why do you want to kill Moriran instead?

Is it too dark around and Takahashi recognizes the wrong person?

But the two girls have one long hair and one short hair, the difference is very far, and there is Suzuki Sonoko's flashlight, which shouldn't be.

While thinking about it, relying on the fact that no one could see him in the dark, Shiraishi had already thrown out the tightrope very skillfully.

The steel wire connected to the steel claws traveled through the forest in a path that did not conform to the rules of physics, but at first glance it was handsome and reasonable, and the silver snake struck its target with the precision of a hunt, clicking and clasping the handle of the axe in the bandage man's hand.

The bandage man is in a position where his hands are raised above his head and the axe is facing backwards.

Shiraishi tugged with all his might, and the rain-soaked axe handle suddenly slipped out of the bandage man's hand, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground backwards.

The murder weapon has been confiscated, and in the face of an ordinary man without a weapon, even if it is a weakened version of Mao Lilan, he will not be powerless to fight back.

The steel hook grabbed the axe and quickly retracted it, Bai Shi snapped the handle of the axe, and raised his hand back to ease the momentum, the whole set of actions was not dragged in the mud and water, and it was in vain that he practiced countless times.

Soon, however, a sense of out-of-body detachment struck, and the scene in front of Shiraishi's eyes blurred.

…… It's not unfamiliar, and it's an experience every time I enter and exit the Virtual World Planning Station.

Shiraishi was stunned for a moment, realizing that something wasn't quite right.

He turned his head sharply and saw a bubble floating at the top of the axe.

This thing is translucent, and it is very inconspicuous at night, even if it can see at night, more than ten meters away, Shiraishi couldn't find it at all just now.

At this point, with the cushioning action of catching the axe, the bubble hit his shoulder.

…… The good news is that this time I did encounter a hidden mission.

The bad news is that this is the timing...... It's so inappropriate!

There is a buffer time of a few seconds from the time it is triggered to the time it enters the planning station.

Shiraishi tried to activate the mask and try to put his body into the Poké Ball, but he couldn't, and the reason given on the light screen was that the contact was unstable.

It's too bad......

At this time, it was too late to regret it, Shiraishi relied on the procrastination spirit of fighting the bloody boss when he stayed up late before, and threw the axe towards the mountain stream dizzily, and then he wrapped his raincoat and threw himself into a relatively lush grass nearby.

As a rule of thumb, it doesn't take too long to enter the virtual world.

I hope it can be done before I am discovered, and when the time comes, I throw away the raincoat, and no one knows that he has been lying in the woods for more than ten minutes......

The surrounding scene swirled and changed, and when Shiraishi opened his eyes again, he was already sitting in the virtual world planning station.

He sighed, stared at the Q version of the villain who came out of the edge of the screen, and felt that there should be condemnation here:

"It's too dangerous, if the bandage man passes by me when he escapes, and slashes me, won't I be gone? Can there be an extended buffer period next time? ”

The Q version assistant straightened the yellow hard hat on top of her head, shook her head, and a text box appeared next to her:

[The environment is safe, and it will be opened immediately after judgment]

"......" is really fake, how effective is the act of throwing yourself into the grass?

Shiraishi felt a little relieved.

But the question should be asked in advance: "What if something happens to the body?" ”

The Q version assistant thought seriously for a moment, and a text bubble on the background of the wrench popped up on the top of the biu: [Warranty]

…… And the fix function? It was a bonus. It's this wrench icon that is inexplicably reassuring, and it's better to draw a syringe than this.

However, the worst concern was finally solved. Then there is only one detail left to confirm: "Free? ”

As soon as the words fell, the Q assistant and the bubbles above her head froze, and suddenly there was no movement.

Shiraishi almost thought it was stuck, and he reached out and poked the screen.

The Q assistant was pushed by him and thawed from the solidified state.

She fumbled in her pocket, and reluctantly pulled out a small purse with a buckle. Glancing up at Shiraishi's curious gaze, she turned around secretly and turned her back to Shiraishi.

"......" Shiraishi looked at her back, and could only hear the sound of small coins colliding from time to time, and the door-picking assistant was probably counting the money.

I don't know how many times I counted it, but the Q version assistant put the wallet away again, turned around, and nodded his head in a slightly invisible amplitude. Through the expressionless bun face, Shiraishi seemed to see her heart of the battle between heaven and man.

actually paid out of his own pocket to help repair the ...... has been pitted for a long time, and suddenly there was a wave of backpits, and Baishi was still a little moved.

"Then let's get started." Shiraishi relieved himself slightly, and he waved his hand, wanting to finish the task quickly, and got up from the grass.

……

In the woods around the villa.

Ryoichi Takahashi was dragged and lost his center of gravity, and he took a few steps back before he could barely stand firm. In the process, he inevitably stepped on a few branches, and there was a cracking sound under his feet.

He didn't know what was going on, and after steading himself, he turned back in panic, but there was no axe in sight, and there was no one who had taken it away.

This inexplicable accident made his whole body tense.

At this time, the three people in front of them were also disturbed and turned back one after another.

The moment he saw the bandage man, Moriran and Sonoko Suzuki let out an exclamation that pierced the night sky.

Ryoichi Takahashi is not a pervert after all. He was not excited by the frightened shouts of the girls, but, like most people, he was disturbed by the sound full of fear, and he couldn't help but get anxious.

…… No matter where the axe goes, he must act quickly and solve the target in front of him.

Anyway, the opponents are just two slender girls, and a child who is so scared that he can't even scream, even if there is no axe......
