Enter the game.

A pixel RPG style is coming.

The cheerful music, the vivid pixel figures, and the small village full of fantasy flavor all make people feel relaxed.

If it weren't for the fact that this game would kill people, Kiryu would have thought that he was playing a retro RPG game.

He tries to control the villain, but there are already NPCs that automatically come forward to chat.

"Is it a guest on a trip?"

"Welcome to Baruna Village, press the B button to run."

Kiryu moved the villain, and he found that the villain looked a little like himself, although it sounded strange to say that a pixel villain was similar to a large living person, but the intuitive feeling was so weird.

Walk around along the path.

There is a shop with a shield sign next to it.

He controls the villain to enter the store.

Shopkeeper: "I'm sorry, I'm off work." ”

Click again.

"Sorry, it's already off work."

It's repetitive meaningless conversations.

Walking up from the shop, there is an iron fence, and there is an NPC blocking the way at the door, and the NPC who looks like an old man says, "Tonight is a full moon, and a ceremony to present a puppet to the god of spring water will be held." ”

Click again.

"Tonight is a full moon, and there is a ceremony to present a puppet to the god of spring water."

This is an NPC that can only speak one line.

No matter how Kiryu clicks and wanders, he can't find a new dialogue.

A game that makes people scratch their heads and feels weird.

"Do you have to wait for the night of the game?"

Kiryu looked out the window, it wasn't dark yet, and it wasn't his style to just sit back and wait.

Rather than encountering a supernatural incident and just wanting to solve it by himself, Kiryu prefers to find a helper, whether it is to call the police in time or find a master of related professions.

Mizuaki Kirisaki, who often travels on business, is difficult to contact, and even his Doudou often can't get through to his phone, Kiryu is lucky and dials Mizuaki Kirisaki's phone.

Mizuaki Kirizaki listened to Kiryu's words: "A game where you will die in seven days? I've indeed heard, you've been entangled in that game? ”

Kiryu: "That's right, so I'd like to ask you if there's any information over there." ”

"Hmm......" Kirizaki Mizuaki muttered, "Go to the Dashan Research Department of Nandu University, I have a friend in modern sociology, maybe I can help you, and I'll send him an email here." ”

After hanging up, a minute or so later, Mizuaki Kirisaki sent an email with a private number.

Kiryu edited the message, asking tentatively.

It didn't take long to get a response from the other party.

"It's not dark yet" Kiryu glanced out of the sky: "Time is pressing!" ”

Take the subway to Nandu University, and while inquiring, it takes a long time to hurry, and the sky has been covered with a layer of darkness.

Nanto University, Faculty of Sociology, Daisen Research Laboratory.

Kiryu knocked on the door.

"Please come in~"

"Excuse me" Kiryu entered the door and found a man in the same style as Mizuaki Kisaki, looking down to read a certain document.

He should be the target Kiryu is looking for this time.

Noki Oyama, associate professor of modern sociology at Nanto University.

Should I say that he is worthy of being the person who deals with Mizuaki Kirisaki?

The sloppy scum, the messy hair that hasn't been cut for a long time, all have the smell of "research scholars", but it's different from the decadent and handsome guy like Mizuaki Kirizaki.

Professor Oyama wears a white polo shirt, wears a necklace around his neck that looks like he was brought back from a trip to a shrine, and holds a pen in his breast pocket.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Kiryu took the initiative to speak: "I am the first-class Kiryu who spoke before. ”

"Let's find a chair to sit on first," Professor Oyama waved his hand casually.

Kiryu looked around, but couldn't find a place to sit, and each chair was filled with materials.

"Ah, it seems that there is no place to sit" Professor Oyama scratched his hair helplessly: "It's all very critical information, abstracts and the like, and they are still being processed, so in order not to mess up their order, so I can only grieve you to stand first, okay?" ”

Kiryu nodded.

"Okay, just stand and talk," Professor Oyama said.

"I already know a little bit about you, the game?"

"Hmm" Kiryu took out his phone and wanted to open the nameless game, but every time he opened it, it flashed back, and it seemed that he couldn't enter.

Professor Oyama took Kiryu's mobile phone: "Recently, I happened to be studying related materials, especially the medium of the Internet, which made me see the characteristics of supernatural tales, time periods, and large ranges, which are more terrifying than word of mouth, and it should be that weird tales have entered the modernization." ”

"Did you know that a student at this school died mysteriously?" According to Kiryu's introduction, Professor Oyama clicked on the mailbox and checked the information sent by the mysterious garbled code, and the document was invalid.

"I heard that it was a strange death caused by playing this game" Kiryu nodded: "It seems that there is some kind of curse, seven days of death." ”

"Hmm" Professor Oyama handed the phone back to Kiryu, "I also sorted out the relevant materials, etc., it doesn't seem to be here"

Professor Oyama said, "I'll go get the materials back, you wait here first...... By the way, don't mess with the data! ”

After repeated admonitions, Professor Oyama pushed the door open and left.

"Ding Dong"

Kiryu suddenly picked up his phone and found that the phone screen flickered and automatically entered the nameless game.

Baruna village, at night, pitch black.

He controls the movement of a pixel character called "Kiryu First-Class",

Compared to the joyful music of the day, the music at night is a little weird, like the 8-bit music of nocturnes under the moon.

The whole village was empty.

He controls the villain to walk upwards and finds that the iron door, which would otherwise be impassable, has been opened. And there are many little people standing in two rows.

Approaching the villain, click lightly, and find a dialogue from the NPC: "The puppet that worships the god of spring water has been selected."

To the right, click on another.

“……”

Kiryu went to click on the NPCs one by one.

"It seems to be called...... Daisen Hoki"

Kiryu was stunned.

"Oyama Hoki?"

If I'm not mistaken, Professor Oyama's name is Oyama Hoki, right?

Go to the top NPC and tap lightly.

"You can't participate in the sacrifice without torches"

"You can't participate in the sacrifice without torches"

"You can't participate in the sacrifice without torches"

Kiryu sighed, he wanted to see where Professor Oyama was, but he wasn't familiar with Nanto University at all.

"Could it be that Professor Oyama also played this game?"

Kiryu can only move the character, looking in the game, and the shop is closed.

You can't participate in the sacrifice without torches.

Eventually, he found a ghost hovering in a well, approached and got a torch.

"Ahh

The screams brought Kiryu back to his senses.

Not good!

His heart suddenly burst out, and he quickly rushed out of the research room, and saw a girl staggering on the ground.

"Where?" Kiryu asked.

The girl shivered and pointed to the reference room in front of her.

Kiryu took two quick steps forward and looked at the data room with the door open.

The body of Professor Oyama Faki collapsed to the ground.

There were still many traces of water all over his body, and water overflowed from his mouth and nose, and his whole body was swollen.

Kiryu took a deep breath and stepped forward, gently touching Professor Oyama's mouth and nose.

Didn't breathe.

After checking again, there was no heartbeat.

It's really dead.

"Drowning?"

"The name of the doll offered to the god of spring water is Oyama Hoki?"
