Late March.

The last vestiges of winter chill are gradually dissipating, and a touch of new spring blooms in the pink cherry blossoms flying in the sky.

Tokyo Aoyama Academy, kendo club training ground.

Phew-

The sharp sound of the bamboo sword breaking through the air suddenly pierced the silence, accompanied by the young man's low roar.

"Noodles!"

With his sword in both hands, Kitahara struck the visor of his opponent in front of him steadily.

The young man who was a head shorter than him took a few steps back, then pulled off his mask, stared at him with an incredulous face, and said, "Beiyuan, have you become stronger again?" I was able to hold up a few tricks in your hand a few days ago. ”

"Maybe it's because I've been practicing more diligently these days." Kitahara Shu also ripped off his mask, revealing the handsome cheeks that could make countless girls' hearts flutter, he exhaled softly, his face was full of helplessness, "Soon after the start of school, it will be the Tokyo Metropolitan Kendo Tournament, I am the main general, I can't embarrass the school." ”

These words are used to comfort his friend Ishigami Yu, lest he feel too curled and feel uncomfortable.

In fact, with Kitahara Xiu's current strength, he is not worried about disgrace to the school at all.

His real goal is to lead the kendo club to the top four in the tournament so that he can get a good amount of money from the school.

This is undoubtedly tempting for him, who is desperately short of money.

"Kendo Conference, I heard that Fujii's seniors were killed in the first round last year, and the main general of the Tokyo Kendo School collapsed in the first round, and Aoyama Academy, which has steadily entered the quarterfinals every year, is directly out of the bottom of the game, and this news is also a sensation."

Yu Ishigami is just an ordinary member of the kendo club, and he didn't have the opportunity to go to the scene to observe last year, but because of last year's defeat, these kendo club members haven't had a good life all year.

"If you are the main player this year, the bad old man of the coach must be holding his breath, wanting to rely on you to get a good ranking, and be ashamed! Don't let that pressure go down. ”

Yu Ishigami has an understanding expression, his best friend is like a copy of the former master Fujii Xiong, who also emerged in the first grade, was favored by the coach, and was able to follow the kendo club in the first year, and was also ordered in the second year to serve as the head of the kendo club, saying that he was not under much pressure, and the ghost didn't believe it.

If you lose as badly as Fujii's predecessors in the kendo tournament, the popularity that your best friend has accumulated this year will be over.

Throughout the spring break, Yu Ishigami has been accompanying Kitahara Shu to practice swordsmanship, and he can vaguely feel the huge pressure that the head of the kendo club puts on his best friend.

He patted Kitahara on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Speaking of last year's kendo conference, Kitahara Shu didn't expect that Fujii senior, who was showing off his martial arts in the kendo club all day, would lose so badly, he was still a freshman in high school last year, and he was fortunate to attend the annual Tokyo Kendo Tournament with the team as a backup member of the kendo club, and unfortunately witnessed the scene of Fujii being beaten up.

In the following year, Kitahara Shu worked hard to earn money to support himself while adapting to the new life that had come through time, and because of his outstanding swordsmanship, he was promoted to the main general by the coach and enjoyed a kendo scholarship worth 200,000 yen.

That's right, he is not really Kitahara Shu, the soul that lives in this young body is actually a social animal from a parallel time and space, a big country on the other side.

Before you know it, it's been a year.

Turning back from the flying thoughts, the mobile phone that Kitahara Shu put aside just happened to ring.

Time's up.

Yu Ishigami didn't want to be tyrannized by his friends anymore, he took off his thick protective suit, packed up the backpack on the side, and said with a sense of relief: "It's finally time!" That's the end of the spring break training! School starts in three days, and I'm going to spend more time with my Mieko-chan these days. By the way, you should also have a good rest in Beiyuan, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and the training will be more effective. ”

Mieko Endo is the girl in the neighboring class that Yu Ishigami is pursuing, and has been chasing for a year, but the relationship has always been tepid, Yu Ishigami wanted to take advantage of the spring break to pursue it, but for the sake of his friend's competition, he resolutely set aside most of the spring break to accompany his friend to practice swords, and the last three days released pigeons, Kitahara Shu can understand very well.

"I will, don't worry." Kitahara Shu also changed out of his kendo uniform, picked up his backpack, and walked out of the training ground with him.

The two of them walked along the tree-lined path with their satchels on their backs, and the usually crowded school was extremely quiet at this time, and the cherry blossoms on both sides of the cherry trees were fluttering one after another, spreading all over the ground.

Come to the bicycle parking lot.

"Then I'll withdraw first." Shi Shangyou patted his friend's shoulder, and before leaving, he stuck his head back again, "Kitahara, don't go to work today, I'll send you something good in a while, go back and relax." ”

"Got it, got it." Kitahara Shu pushed him, and he walked towards another trail, where he lived near the school and walked home quickly.

"Remember to combine work and rest~"

In the distance, you can still vaguely hear Shi Shangyu's advice.

Kitahara Shu smiled faintly, grabbed the shoulder bag strap on his chest, and walked quickly outside.

Back at his rental house in the urban village of Mikicho, Kitahara let out a sigh of relief, first ran to the bathroom to wash his face, and then sat back at his desk.

The narrow room can only accommodate a small wooden bed, a desk, and the rest of the space is enough to even choke on his feet, and the one-meter-seventy-five Kitahara Shu has to curl up his legs when he sleeps, but what can he do.

This is the most affordable rental house he can find.

Kitahara Shu's original family is in Yamanashi Prefecture, his parents are fruit farmers, and he has a sister who has albinism and is two years younger than him.

My sister's monthly medical expenses are enough for his parents, and the family can't afford to pay for his tuition to study in Tokyo.

Coming to Tokyo alone, he had to earn his tuition and living expenses with his own hands, and most of the savings he had accumulated in the past year were sent home to his parents to share the pressure.

Watching anime in my previous life, it was clear that the male protagonist had both parents dead, and there was a sister and a house, how did he get to himself and become so realistic?

Probably there is no protagonist to die.

Kitahara Shu smiled self-deprecatingly, the walls were plastered with various schedules and schedules, in addition to attending classes, he had to work two part-time jobs, rain or shine, to ensure his daily expenses.

If it weren't for the fact that the mock test after the start of school would affect the placement of classes in the new school year, he would not have stopped working for these three days.

After picking up a colored pen and drawing a circle on today's kendo training plan, Kitahara Shu turned on the lamp and prepared to review his homework.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the side lit up.

When I opened it, I saw that it was a LINE message from Yu Ishigami.

The kid didn't say anything, and just sent over an oversized installation package.

Is it unspeakable butter?

It's quite in line with Yu Ishigami's style of acting.

On LINE, you can see whether the other party accepted the document or not, and in order to prevent Yu Ishigami's follow-up information bombardment, Kitahara Shu still clicked on download.

After a while, Kitahara Shu saw an extra fox mask-like icon on the desktop of his mobile phone, and the words "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" were written in red font underneath.

Looks like a horror game.

This piqued Kitahara's interest.

He also loves to play games, especially thrilling horror games.

Click on the icon.

Play the game.

The phone screen is black, and the lines of text on the very simple interface are slowly emerging, and there are no other picture patterns, which is actually a pure word game!

You wake up in an abandoned shrine. 】

[At the beginning of the Heian Dynasty, Buddhism, Shinto, and martial arts declined one after another, the nobles took over, and the imperial power collapsed. 】

[Major orders are systematically, natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, ghosts and gods are rampant, and in the era of peace, peace has become an unattainable dream for most people. 】

[In the third year of Enryaku, the Heian Dynasty moved its capital to Nagaokakyo, countless forces surged, and under the war, human life was like a mustard, and the ghosts and gods who fed on human flesh and blood gradually recovered, coveting every life in this land. 】

[The only people who can fight against ghosts and gods are a certain group of special beings in human beings, who can see invisible things, hear inaudible sounds, and feel untouchable powers, they practice spiritual arts, kill ghosts and hunt demons, and ghosts and gods are mortal enemies of each other. 】

【Temples, shrines, dojos...... They are everywhere, they are the chosen ones, they are the only saviors. 】

They are known to the world as psychic. 】

[Wake up, newborn psychic, you must fulfill the unfulfilled long-cherished wish of your ancestors and expel all the unscrupulous ghosts and gods on the earth! Slaying demons and hunting ghosts, this is your fate, and it is also your way back. 】

[Click 'Out of the torii' and step into the Heian period.] 】

Kitahara Shu was surprised that this was a play on words set in the Heian period.

In ancient history textbooks, the Heian period, which spanned 400 years, occupies very little space, and as the last ancient social dynasty in Japanese history, most people think of the great onmyoji Abe Harumi and those dazzling demons and monsters.

Japanese-style games prefer to use the Warring States Period as the game background.,Kitahara Xiu's memory and Heian era related games.,It's a gacha mobile game made by a big factory in the previous life.。

There are many games with elements of the Heian period, but with it as the background theme, Kitahara Shu is the first time I've seen it.

The world view is easy to understand, and the player takes on the role of a psychic whose goal is to slay demons and hunt ghosts and banish them from the world where humans live.

But how can a word game reflect this kind of plot well?

Kitahara Shu clicked [Out of the torii], in short, continue the game first.

[Walking out of the torii, you see a towering stone statue, a blindfolded man in a black robe, looking far ahead, as if he was staring at something, as if he was waiting for something. 】

[As a newborn psychic, you feel the talent that is dormant in your veins seem to be drawn by the wonderful power contained within the statue. 】

[You suddenly realized in your heart that the statue in front of you was dedicated to the king of psychic, and in the gaze of the spirit king, you awakened the unique psychic bloodline talent. 】

【Bloodline Talent Randomly Drawn ......】

[After the extraction, you can choose one of the following three bloodline talents, which cannot be changed after being confirmed, please choose carefully.] 】

[Top psychic medium, your spiritual sense is extremely keen, and you are naturally more affinity to spiritual power than other psychic, which makes it easier for you to practice in the Heian era, when your spiritual power is becoming increasingly poor. Talent Effect: Initial Ghost Resistance is doubled, and the speed of all spiritual spells is increased by 20%. 】

[Descendant of the sword bearer, you have an extremely precious sword bearer's bloodline, which is naturally suitable for kendo practice, but the sword-wielder's bloodline has always been cursed by ghosts and gods, which also makes you more likely to encounter various events in the Heian era when ghosts and gods are raging, triggering a supernatural crisis. Talent Effect: Kendo spirit cultivation speed increased by 100%, kendo talent is top, event trigger probability increased, ghost and god event trigger probability slightly increased. 】

[Reader of ancient books, you have a strong reading ability, especially good at analyzing all kinds of ancient classics, which gives you a valuable exploration skill in the foggy Heian era. Talent Effect: Top reading and memory ability, obtain the only natural skill: Ancient Book Translation. 】

[Warning: All bloodline talents are unique, and each psychic will only inherit the bloodline talent by other psychics after death.] 】

This is the player's initial talent choice, many games have similar settings, Kitahara Shu does not find it new, the interesting thing is that these bloodline talents are unique, similar to exclusive titles, and the functionality is unique.

This means that the initial talent of the game will most likely determine the direction and experience of your subsequent games.

As a veteran game fan, Kitahara's first reaction was to brush up on his initial talent.

The problem is that this word game doesn't even have the step of creating an account, and there are only three options left in the entire interface, and I don't even know how to log out and start over.

Forget it, it's just a little game to pass the time, and there's no need to be so complicated.

Judging from the description of the three talents, the top spirit medium is equivalent to a cultivation genius, and the buff effect is the doubling of the initial ghost and god resistance and the increase in the speed of cultivation of spiritual arts, and he still doesn't know what the mechanism of ghost and god resistance is, judging from the text description, this is a decent bloodline talent.

And the reader of ancient books is to take the route of exploration and decryption, to use his brain, he is already enough to burn his brain at the end of the day, it is better to play some violent output, relax and relax.

Kitahara Shu decided to pick a second talent, a descendant of the sword wielder.

[Psychic, you have successfully awakened the bloodline talent under the gaze of the Spirit King statue, the descendant of the sword bearer (the only), your heart begins to burn, and the bloodline of the sword-bearer that once flowed in the blood is gradually recovering, and you feel unprecedented strength and satisfaction. 】

[Buff effect obtained, kendo spirit cultivation speed increased by 100%]

【Acquired Top Kendo Talent】

[Warning: The probability of event triggering has been increased, and the probability of triggering ghost and god events has been slightly increased, so please be careful about it.] 】

Kitahara Shu saw three rows of text flashing on the screen in a row, and at the same time, an inexplicable burning sensation suddenly rose in the mouth of his left chest, as if something was gushing out.

- Unprecedented strength and satisfaction.

The text in the game echoed inexplicably in his mind, Kitahara Shu stood up suddenly, his chest was burning like fire, he pulled down the collar of his shirt, and was stunned to find that there was a red bamboo sword mark in his heart!

When touched by hand, it is rough and textured, just like a tattoo.

In the next moment, the kendo swordsmanship that he had practiced this year flashed in front of his eyes like a marquee, and every frame of the picture was extremely clear, as if it was deeply engraved in his mind.

He was sure that his swordsmanship had reached a great level!

The rewards in this game are embodied in reality?

Kitahara Shu held his mobile phone with a face full of surprise.
