Chapter 2 Malicious Games

Looking down, there are a lot more LINE messages on my phone.

Usually, there are not so many people looking for Kitahara Shu.

He looked at the phone screen in amazement, and touched the bamboo sword tattoo on his chest, and a sense of unreality arose.

Fortunately, he read a lot of online articles in his previous life, and this sudden supernatural event didn't have much impact on him.

Kitahara Shu is more concerned about some of the negative effects brought by the bloodline talent of the descendant of the sword bearer, and the event trigger probability is good, at most there are more daily trivialities, good and bad, but the trigger probability of that ghost event has increased slightly......

That doesn't sound good.

Since the game rewards can be brought to life, what else ......

Kitahara Shu shuddered and decided to continue playing this [Hyakki Night Walk] first.

Gamers must be more than just themselves, at least the Yu Ishigami shared with him is one of them, if everyone can bring the game rewards to the real world, then it is the era of national transcendence?

I didn't expect to read a lot of Reiki recovery novels in my previous life, and such things would happen to me one day.

A sense of crisis suddenly rose in Kitahara Xiu's heart, and it won't be long before the world is about to undergo earth-shaking changes.

If you want to survive in the new world, the game [Hyakki Night Walk] is the key!

phone screen.

[You glanced back at the dilapidated shrine, and you could vaguely see the two big characters of the Spirit Court, which was a mysterious organization formed by the Spirit King and gathered countless psychics to fight against ghosts and gods. It's a pity that after the Spirit King was divided, the Spirit Court fell in the Heian Era, but you won't forget that you are still a part of the Spirit Court, and after awakening the bloodline talent, you will embark on a new journey to return to the Spirit Court, kill ghosts and hunt demons, and find the remains of the Spirit King. 】

[Obtained Main Quest: Find the Remains of the Spirit King (Unique)]

[Obtained Starter Mission: Kill any ghost or god (0/1) (Level)]

[Starter Quest Obtained: Return to the Spirit Court (Only)]

[Hint: The difficulty of the task is divided into 10 levels, and the difficulty is in descending order: A, B, C, D, pentehexyl heptoxin, non decide]

[It's getting late, you know that once the sun sets, the ghosts and gods hidden everywhere will be revived, they feed on human flesh and blood, and they like to eat psychics with abundant spiritual power the most, continue to stay, you may encounter ghosts and gods, and become their meal. 】

Two new options pop up on the screen, "Continue to Stay" and "Go Now".

Kitahara Shu thought for a moment and chose [Continue to stay].

The plot text tells him to continue to stay, and there is a possibility of encountering ghosts, and it just so happens that there is one of the lowest difficulty in the beginner quest to kill any ghost, which should trigger a beginner tutorial according to the usual practice of the game.

Tutorials will teach players how to fight, how to use rewards, other features of the game, and more.

His bloodline talent is a descendant of the sword bearer, and his combat power should belong to the top category among novice psychics, and it is enough to complete the novice tutorial......

[You choose to wait outside the shrine, night falls, a very strong sense of uneasiness rises in your heart, although your body and mind are trembling and afraid, but you still choose to stay, it's dark! ] 】

[I don't know when, a thick fog rose around, you can't even see the statue of the Spirit King on the side, and suddenly there is a brisk pedal song in the fog. After a while, a barefoot, pot-bellied smiling monk walks towards you. 】

[Before you could speak, there was a sudden tearing pain in your body, and in the strange singing, you died, and you were devoured. 】

Is this dead?

Kitahara Shu's first instinct was to immediately jump up and check his body.

Thankfully, the tearing pain in the text description didn't reach him.

The game character died violently, and his real person was not directly destroyed by humanity, and this game is a bit of a conscience.

As soon as the mobile phone screen goes black, when the player's psychic dies, a very ethereal and sad soundtrack will be heard, and a burning red candle will appear in the middle of the screen, and there are several large characters engraved on it-

Descendant of the Sword Bearer.

The candle flame burns, and the candle seems to be a little shorter.

The plot text resurfaced.

[You died, your consciousness sank into the endless country of yellow springs, you turned into a burning red candle, held in your heart by a pair of white and slender, huge hands, and the girl's murmur sounded, as if praying for you. 】

[The girl realized that you are a psychic from the country of reeds, even if you die, your soul cannot rest in the country of Yellow Springs, and before recovering the remains of the spirit king, the psychics will undergo the cycle of death and resurrection for the rest of your life, she let out a soft sigh, and retrieved the red candle of life that belongs to you from the rows of candlesticks that have long been burned out, and rekindled the fire of life for you. 】

[You open your eyes again and wake up in the ruined shrine, this is your first resurrection, returning from the land of yellow springs to the land of reeds, making you realize that you will not really die. 】

Game characters don't really die!

Then the previous violent death can be understood.

Kitahara Shu let out a sigh of relief, and although the gameplay and content were full of malice towards psychics, at least it wasn't unreasonable.

In fact, repeating death and resurrection countless times is a very painful thing in itself, but it is something that his game character needs to go through, and he can't feel it himself, so it doesn't matter.

Think of it as an increase in the experience and immersion of the game.

[Your body is full of fatigue and restlessness, your resistance to ghosts and gods has been greatly reduced, and you realize that you need to rest for an hour before you can continue to move. 】

New options have emerged, "Keep Moving" and "Rest Put".

Kitahara Shu decisively chose [rest in place], according to the text description, even if he forcibly set off, the result will not be too good, this should be the game's physical punishment mechanism.

Just take advantage of this hour's break.,Deal with the non-stop LINE messages.,By the way, ask that resentful friend.,What's going on with this game?

Exit the game screen and open the messaging app LINE.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, and it was only ten minutes, and he had 36 unread messages.

LINE's design is similar to WeChat, but like a certain sound, it can display the two states of messages delivered and read, and it is said that after this feature is enabled, the breakup rate of Japanese couples has increased significantly, but what can be done about it?

In this world, LINE is a chat software developed by the National Communications, and other competitors have been smashed, so you have to use it if you don't want to.

Kitahara Shu was the first to find the information of Yu Ishigami in a row of messages, good guy, he sent himself 7 messages alone.

That nonsense is ignored.

Yu Ishigami: What's going on, Kitahara, aren't you already cool?

Yu Ishigami: It's been an hour! Are you this guy that lasting?

There is also a mysterious little video he sent on it, click on it and take a look, the sweet-looking cute rabbit-eared female anchor slowly took off the bunny girl costume on her body......

Kitahara Shu decisively forked out the video and only replied: What's going on with that game?

Soon, Yu Ishigami sent new news.

Yu Ishigami: The game? What's new? Have you found any good games lately? Anyway, are you just done, this is too outrageous, the physical strength of the head of the kendo department is good.

On the other end of the phone, Yu Ishigami saw that the interface showed that it had been read, but he didn't receive any new messages from Kitahara Shu, so he smiled and put down the phone.

It's good that the dead friend is fine, he didn't reply to his message for an hour just now, and he thought something had happened to Kitahara Xiu.

In short, as long as he can reply to the message, as long as he is not working, what is he doing, Yu Ishigami supports it with both hands!

It seems that Yu Ishigami didn't know about [Hyakki Night Walk], Kitahara Shu went back to rummage through the chat history, and was surprised to find that the message he sent him the installation package was mysteriously missing.

At present, it is very likely that this news was not sent to him by Yu Ishigami, but it is not ruled out that Yu Ishigami is also a gamer, but he just concealed this matter from himself and deliberately pretended not to know.

In short, the chat history disappeared, and Ishigami Yu couldn't ask anything for the time being, so he could only keep an eye on it, act carefully, and pretend that nothing happened to him first.

Forking off the chat box of his resentful friend, Kitahara Shu began to read other messy messages.

Sister Aoi: Brother, the cherry tree at home is bearing fruit, and my mother said that I want to send you a basket, and this year's cherries are very sweet. [Picture]

Looking at the huge cherry tree in the picture and her sister Kitahara Aoi who is wearing a white dress and a light golden high ponytail next to the tree, Kitahara Shu smiled lightly and replied yes.

After thinking about it, he added: Aoi, have you taken medicine well recently?

Sister Aoi: The medicine is very bitter, but Aoi has a good food to eat, brother, don't worry about Aoi.

The little girl is accompanied by a photo of taking medicine with a bitter face, she also inherited the high appearance of the North Yuan family, albinism makes the skin a little pale pink, with those watery peach blossom eyes, it is estimated that when she reaches high school, she will definitely fascinate countless boys.

This year, Kitahara Shu always likes to chat with his gentle and kind sister after a tiring day, and sometimes makes video calls, and the blood connection between his family makes him feel a trace of unprecedented warmth.

Even if she is a traverser, she still has the blood of the Kitahara family flowing in her body, she is her biological sister, and the feeling that blood is thicker than water will not change.

Saving money and finding a way to make his sister's illness better is the first big goal he set after coming to this world.

Kitahara Xiu chatted with his sister for a few more words, and then continued to check the news, and there were a few invitations from girls who had no impression, and wanted to invite him to sing K, eat, and watch movies together, but they were directly ignored.

It's not that he doesn't want to fall in love, the problem is that he's too busy and busy now, and he can't afford to talk about the extra cost of falling in love.

The last message came from the kendo club group chat.

Tokyo's No. 1 Sword Hero: @ζ‰€ζœ‰δΊΊ, after the mock test at the beginning of the school year, the training intensity has increased, and I will come to come over for additional training on Toyao Day (Saturday) in the future, have you heard it?!

This tone, as soon as I heard it, it was the old coach with a straight face all day long, and Kitahara Shu replied with a "yes", and soon, other "sword heroes" lined up to repeat it.

Japanese schools are hierarchical, a small, condensed Japanese society with pyramidal relationships in classes and clubs, and seniors have absolute authority over juniors.

Kitahara Shu is the current head of the kendo department, located at the top of the pyramid of the club, he didn't speak, and the other "swordsmen" didn't dare to speak out first.

This interpersonal pyramid is the same in the classroom.

Handsome, with excellent grades and strong athletic talent, even if he doesn't have much interpersonal communication, he is defaulted to the top of the pyramid by his classmates in the class.

It is this unhealthy atmosphere that will lead to all kinds of school bullying.

Kitahara Shu can't change anything, he can only try not to hurt anyone.

After spending an hour, Kitahara Shu opened the [Hyakki Night Walk] again.

[After an hour of rest, your ghost resistance is fully recovered, it is getting late, and if you continue to stay, you may encounter unknown ghosts and gods, while the night has not completely descended, you need a shelter to resist the hidden crisis in the night. 】

Again, select "Stay" or "Go Now".

With the lessons of the past, Kitahara Shu did not hesitate and clicked [Let's Go Now].

[The lonely psychic embarks on a journey to an unknown area, and after walking for a while, you find that the night has fallen at some point, and a thick mist rises in the air. 】

[Choose East: There is a faint sound of brisk pedal singing.] 】

[Choose the West: That's the way back to the shrine, and your intuition tells you that going back to the shrine is not a good decision.] 】

[Choose South: That's the area where the fog first filled, and now it's completely impossible to see anything.] 】

[Choose the North: Rare light flickers, but what is behind the light?] You have no way of knowing. 】

First of all, exclude the East.

Kitahara Xiu died in the hands of that fat smiling monk before, he couldn't beat it just now, and he definitely can't beat it now, he used to be looking for death.

The choice of the South seems to be a matter of luck, and this malicious game for psychics will obviously not give them much luck, and it will be ruled out.

Kitahara Show actually wants to try to go back to the shrine.,Text description,The game doesn't encourage players to go back.,But many games like to play text traps like this.,It seems to be wrong.,It's actually correct.。

As for the north, if there is a bit of exploration, you can also try it.

After thinking about it again, Kitahara Xiu finally chose to set off towards the north.

There are lights, or it could be a nearby village, or maybe it's a so-called shelter.

[You chose the north, after all, the lights may mean that there are villages nearby, which is better than choosing to go head-to-head with the ghosts and gods you have already seen, go back to the shrine that is not recommended, and try your luck, you think so, so you don't hesitate to move towards the light. 】

!!!

This plot text?

Kitahara looked at the pile of words, and there was no doubt that the text spoke to his heart.

It's also weird.

However, thinking that the game reward has also been materialized, he can reluctantly accept this level of mind reading.

Acceptable and acceptable, but the real fear that came from his body made it difficult for him to calm down.

The game itself, like the content of the game, is full of indescribable weirdness.

[As you get closer to the light, as you get closer to Him, you realize that it is not a lamp, but a huge eye connected by a thick flesh tube! The eyes are glowing like lights, apparently to attract some people, and you don't have time to run away! 】

[Behind the huge eyes, in the mist, a rotten and fishy, mountain-like ghost corpse slowly squirmed towards you, and after a while, you were devoured completely! You're dead again! 】

The ethereal and mournful music sounded again.

Again, the red candle engraved with the words Descendant of the Sword Bearer.

Kitahara Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly, this was his life red candle, a small part less than just now.

He hurriedly took out the measuring stick from the table and marked it on the screen of his phone with a marker!
