Chapter 5: The Pseudo-Story of the World Bug (Part II)
At dusk in the exchange world where Gu Wu was located, after getting bad news from the system, he decided to rush to the scene to solve it before dinner, after learning about the relevant address and the possible harm.
It is important to know that the coastal forest is not far from the beach that tourists visit, and if a bug in the vicinity continues to expand, it will inevitably have a bad impact on the beach and the surrounding area.
In the past, Gu Wu remembered that he had read it before, saying that people who disappeared every day in the world actually encountered strange phenomena.
Although it is returned, the current situation is a reality for Gu Wu.
This is a world of exchange, a world created by the system, and at the same time, a world full of possibilities, and it is acceptable for Gu Wu to have these situations happen.
However, he still planned to ask the system again before leaving, after all, this kind of problem should not be solved by himself in theory.
Gu Wu, who came to the bathroom alone, asked the system very bluntly.
"Is that bug in the coastal forest you mentioned related to me? Isn't it your responsibility to create new problems since the last time the hole was filled? β
[In response to the host, the problems that this system is responsible for repairing are generally based on bugs created by the world itself; To explain it in an easy-to-understand way...... The lack of gravity in a certain part of the world, the distortion of the character's image, the collapse of the basic setting, etc., but the current bugs are due to the influence of different characters. γ
The system may have felt that Gu Wu could not agree with such an answer, so it added
[In response to the host, this kind of BUG is generally caused by conflicts and overlaps in the settings after a large number of characters appear, even if the system will fix them, there is no guarantee that they can disappear completely.] γ
"In that case, can I do anything?"
[In response to the host, those bugs are vividly 'distorted things created by overlapping settings', and they themselves are attached to the world of multiple settings, so theoretically it is not my responsibility, but the host is the master to solve them.] γ
Once the protagonists of multiple worlds are together, the settings overlap and conflict, and then the distorted parts are manifested?
Gu Wu, who understood it like this, didn't waste time in the bathroom any longer, he looked at the time displayed on his mobile phone.
"Try to get it done before dinner starts, I don't want to waste time on this kind of problem."
[Responding to the host, this is also a good thing, because once the bug is eliminated after it is generated, it means that the same type of situation will not occur in the future.] γ
"Did you just eradicate it? It's a good thing, and I guess Altai doesn't have to feel uneasy anymore after knowing it. β
AltaΓ―r was uneasy about the possible collapse of this world, because once it was gone, Shimazaki would have nowhere to go.
But once the problem is solved, there is no need to think about the troubles associated with it.
Leaving the bathroom and coming outside, Gu Wu was stopped by Luise and Tina, who had just stayed in the kitchen.
"Let's go together, the master's problem is our problem."
"Alone, not very good ......"
This matter is not serious, at least Gu Wu at the moment has the ability to solve it.
"Don't worry, you just need to help out in the kitchen, I'm looking forward to your potato stew."
"Why does the master know?!"
"You can smell it even if you don't look at it."
After all, since he came to this world, he has eaten a lot of delicious food, and Gu Wu, who is lazy in his time, eats in addition to playing, and lives a life that many guards envy at home.
Gu Wu, who told them that there was no need to go along, immediately left, during which Alan and Selti also wanted to go along, but he still chose to refuse, and one of the helpers was enough.
Because Jin Muyan was the first to offer help, Gu Wucai decided that the two of them would go to the scene.
When he left the living room and came to the corridor, Gu Wu noticed that the clothes on Jin Muyan's body were not convenient for movement.
"Do you want to change your clothes? I think Richardson can figure it out for you quickly. β
"No, no, there's no need for that."
"Then let's do it quickly."
Gu Wu said this, his eyes swept over the scene, and he noticed Kirishima Dongxiang who was staying in the living room.
"Kirishima-san is completely taking me for a nuisance."
"I told her I'd be back as soon as possible."
"It's all the same......"
Time is precious, so it's important to be quick.
ββββ
The coastal forest mentioned by the system is near the beach, and it is not too far to walk there, not to mention that the two of them are not going to walk there on their feet.
Gu Wu, who used his ability on the way, flew into the air, and he grabbed Jin Muyan, who was about to cross the roof and wall, and rushed to his destination in a direct way.
"Just like back then, the kind of ability you have is even more exaggerated than I am now."
"Mr. Kaneki won't be surprised at all."
"Because I'm used to it, instead of being confused about the unexpected, I know that the first thing to do is to understand, and only after figuring it out do I have time to calm down and think about the fundamental problem."
It's not about why you're fighting, it's about it after defeating the enemy.
After all, indecisive words can put oneself in a very troublesome situation, and only those who have experienced it understand the correctness of this approach.
Kanekiken is no longer the Kanekiken of the past, and his growth in this world has caused him to change his original mind.
"And what is the 'problem' in your mouth?"
"Just as you have the kind of non-human abilities you have, that 'problem' is also supernatural."
"Sure enough, there are many things in this world that go beyond common sense."
"yes, that's a bit of fun, isn't it?"
Kaneki Yan, who was set by the system as a resident of this world, shook his head in denial about Gu Wu's question.
"I don't think all the pain I've experienced is wrong or unreasonable, but the fewer things that affect my life and bring danger, the better."
Ken Kaneki continued
"The fact that they have to 'depend' on humans if they want to survive is not correct in itself, but it is not wrong, after all, the world itself can be said to be a combination of contradictions, and even something beyond common sense must have a right and a wrong."
The reason for this trouble comes from the conflict and distortion of the protagonists' settings.
Gu Wu originally wanted to let the protagonists get to know each other and see if a new story could be born, but he didn't expect that it would breed trouble.
The action was right in the first place, but the impact was wrong.
If the BUG in the Coastal Forest is not dealt with by Gu Wu, it will surely bring misfortune to people.
"At the end of the day...... It's a question of ability. β
If the real power is enough to ignore everything, what would that world look like?
Not a utopia, not a dystopia, but a world ruled by the 'true gods'.
Instead of continuing to ponder on doubts that had nothing to do with the present, Gu Wu looked at the scene below.
"We're coming, it's starting to descend now, please get ready, Mr. Kaneki."
"I was ready the moment I went out."
After crossing the beach, we will soon reach the coastal forest, which is the destination of the rocky terrain.
The forest is not always deserted, and during the summer months, people bring their families and friends to camp here, so you can see the "Do Not Litter" sign at the entrance and inside the forest.
At dusk, the coastal forest seems to be engulfed in a shallow red mist, and the leaves are still lush in autumn because of the sea breeze.
Landing on the ground covered with leaves and grass, Gu Wu, who confirmed the space in front of him, looked around, because he didn't know the specific location of the 'BUG' in the system's mouth.
Gu Wu, who was going to ask about the system, heard Jin Muyan's voice at this time, he showed a serious expression, and he looked in the direction of three o'clock with the fingers of his right hand.
"There's an unusual movement over there, so I guess it's hard to spot in the air."
"Let's just go over and have a look."
Unusual movements...... This means that this bug is a little different from the last bug that was solved with Altair.
Gu Wu, who began to move towards the suspicious spot, heard the sound of dry branches breaking with every step he took, or the faint crackling sound of leaves and weeds being trampled.
And now the sun is sinking in the west, and the unfavored coastal forest is only the sound of waves from the sea not far away.
His vision was gradually restricted, but Kanekiken, who had taken the lead, had no intention of slowing down, and he used his hand to remove the branches and leaves that blocked his vision, and reached the area closest to the sea in the coastal forest.
Due to the perennial erosion of this area by the sea breeze, most of the rocks on the side of the sea are broken, and there are naturally no rotten leaves or weeds.
And it was in such places that creatures with distorted shapes appeared.
They are like a combination of a mouse and a squirrel, but with the wings of a seagull, exactly like the hybrid species in a science fiction movie.
The two men hiding in the shadows did not take immediate action because the monster standing in front of them turned around, and seven or eight monsters with similar appearances appeared behind it.
"What are those things?"
"Mr. Kaneki, I can't answer this question......
"If it's a monster......"
"Whether they are or not, they don't seem to be able to communicate."
The two decided what to do and rushed out at the same time.
The distorted things that are born out of the conflict of the setting are the existence of the embodiment of the bug.
Gu Wu relied on the copied power to give a heavy blow to the space in front of him with a powerful skill, and the distorted space was squeezed and hit by the impact! Smash the earth hard!
Boom! Some of the monsters were squashed, while others reacted, and they fled as if they had lost their rabbits the moment they realized the enemy.
Gu Wu, who had eliminated the three in an instant, turned to chase after him, but the figure beside him also pressed closely.
Scallop sliced through the space and forged ahead in the inaccessible forest, slashing the monsters' bodies along with the trees with their incomparably sharp blades and terrifying speeds.
The fleeing monsters realized that they could not escape, so they jerked around and bounced with brute force.
Bang! The ground was trampled with great force to send flying debris, and the remaining monsters attacked from both sides with their nimble movements and speed.
Gu Wu mobilized his skills, and the invisible barrier instantly cut off the space on both sides! Stop the monsters that keep going!
The crimson one-eyed shone in the forest that had just fallen into the night, Jin Muyan swung his body, he stepped on the trunk of the tree and the stone to move twice, and hit hard at the same moment when Gu Wu lifted the barrier!
Under Kanekiken's control, Katsuko flew apart, forming multiple scales that cut through the enemy's body like a poisonous tongue.
Ken Kaneki is strong, there is no doubt about that.
At this time, there is movement under the soles of the feet, is it an even bigger monster?!
"Kaneki! Retreat! β
"Yes!"
The next moment-
With a loud bang, the seaside area of the coastal forest collapsed violently, and the truck-sized twisted monster broke through the confines of the ground and appeared in the rubble and grass and trees, roaring at the two of them at the same time!
A twisted monster that resembled a combination of animals, he launched a surprise attack on Kaneki with his claws, wings, and giant tail.
He blocked the claws, and then stabbed into the trunk of the tree to mobilize his body to move to a distance, and Jin Mugang, who had opened the distance, wanted to charge twice, but was stopped by Gu Wu.
"Leave it to me."
Gu Wu was the first to rush out this time.
He mobilized his strength on the way, and this power was taken over, and it was a fake that did not belong to Gu Wu.
But as long as you can use it, it's a good thing!
Hearing the monster's roar, the translucent body smashed down towards Gu Wu.
"I hate bugs!"
The invisible pressure distorted the space, the terrifying destructive force destroyed everything in front of him, the terrifying impact uprooted the surrounding trees, and the loud noise even covered the sound of the sea.
The moon gradually appeared, and Gu Wu looked at the huge crater in front of him, and directly above it there was something like a luminous stone.
Gu Wu stretched out his hand to grab it, and then a large amount of information flowed into his mind.
It is the information of the setting of the protagonists.
They have their own ideas and hope to seek some change in this world.
PART OF THIS EXPECTATION CREATES A DISTORTED BUG.
Even the protagonist has an unbearable side, everyone has some 'broken' part, and then moves forward in an incomplete posture until it becomes complete.
ββββ
"We're back."
"Welcome back! Master! β
When they returned to the residence, the dinner party had not yet started, and they were all waiting for Gu Wu and Jin Muyan.
Looking at the people in front of him, sure enough, he will never get tired of eating such a dinner.
"There's going to be an event in the world next, a sports-related event."
When the food was gradually brought to the table, Gu Wu said.
"You can participate in this event if you want, and I will offer a good pay, which is a job that kills two birds with one stone."
Next is the time for this group of protagonists who are 'real things' to do things for Gu Wu.
