My double is steve

Because Fang Mo was too enthusiastic.

Natsuki Subaru finally accepted this heavy thank you gift.

But just as he nodded in agreement, Fang Mo actually stood up and left. He also said that you two should cultivate your relationship first, and then simply left him here alone.

"I really..."

Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

He turned his head and glanced at the little pet that Xie Dongwen said was 'docile and clingy'.

Under the dim light, its outline became increasingly blurry. Its asphalt-black and shiny body kept squirming, as if it was constantly being dissolved by the surrounding shadows, and then regenerated. The densely packed tentacles were as unconscious as worms. Twisting.

And inside its translucent body, the dense green eyeballs are like countless sticky insect follicles, flickering intermittently.

In fact, logically speaking.

Ordinary people would lose their minds just by witnessing this scene.

But unfortunately... this thing kept making creepy and weird noises.

I saw the Shoggoth prostrate on the ground, slowly squirming like a nightmare-like amorphous mass, his body split from time to time, and sharp teeth and a tongue grew out. While gnawing at the wooden floor, he fired bursts of sharp blows at Natsuki Subaru. Horrible sound.

"Bah..."

"Bah... love..."

"Metta... dishes..."

"vegetable……"

"vegetable……"

"Cai...b..."

Natsuki Subaru was lying on the bed, looking at the Shoggoths who kept making long and monotonous sounds not far away, and had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

It had been less than a few minutes since Xie Dongwen left, and this Shoggoth had already said "cai" to him almost a hundred times, and occasionally even used a "b". Although Caiyue Subaru also admitted that he was indeed a scumbag... But this It was so noisy that I couldn't calm down and think about things.

To know.

It's now the fifth week.

This means that he has experienced four previous deaths in this mansion.

From Natsuki Subaru's point of view, this mansion is very difficult to conquer. There is definitely more than one death plot. Rem's side is a minefield that triggers the death plot, but in addition, there must be some details hidden under the cover. Something that I had been ignoring before.

And now he needs to do something.

Just remember the words that Xie Dongwen taught him before.

Calm down, think carefully, constantly sort out all your experiences since entering the mansion, recall every previous reincarnation, every week, pay special attention to the details that are easily overlooked... Only in this way can you find out the solution to the problem. way.

But that's what he said.

But Subaru Natsuki couldn't calm down at all now.

Not to mention that the Shoggoths here have been noisy, even if the surroundings are quiet, Natsuki Subaru will think of those few lines of bloody garbled characters as long as he closes his eyes.

Why, I have been in a coma for five years, wake up quickly.

What else don't wake up and save them.

"What the hell..."

As soon as he thought of this, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but frown. It seemed that only he could see this information. Rem had also taken the book before, but the other party insisted that it was just a fairy tale book. That’s all, so only players can see these?

What about other players?

Can Xie Dongwen also see these garbled characters?

"pity……"

The more Natsuki Subaru thought about it, the more irritated he became. In the end, he rubbed his hair hard twice: "Rem took away that fairy tale book. I really care about it. I really want to study the contents in it again..."

"Gulu..."

However, as he was talking here, the Shoggoth on the ground suddenly made a move, and suddenly began to squirm violently without warning.

"Um?"

Seeing this, Natsuki Subaru also stood up and glanced at the other party.

"Crunch, crunch..."

I saw the Shoggoths stretching out a few tentacles, then wrapping them around the legs of the bed next to them and starting to chew on them, making bursts of chewing sounds that were heartbreaking.

"Hey! Don't eat the bed!"

Natsuki Subaru immediately stopped him when he saw this, and at this moment, the ring on his hand suddenly lit up with a faint white light. The Shoggoth who was chewing on the bed stopped instantly, and all the mouths on his body opened wide. Open, revealing the boundless depth inside.

"You... are you hungry?"

Seeing this, Natsuki Subaru suddenly recalled Fang Mo's statement.

This thing seems to be quite edible, and it has no dietary restrictions. It can eat any wood, leaves, etc., so is it hungry?

"You wait."

Thinking of this, Natsuki Subaru also sat up from the bed: "I'm going to get you something to eat. No more chewing on the bed."

"Gulu..."

The shoggoth let out a meaningless growl.

Natsuki Subaru sighed when he saw this, then opened the door and walked out. Then he took a lot of kitchen waste from the kitchen and planned to go back and feed it to the Shoggoths.

Just wait until Natsuki Subaru returns to his room.

Only to find that the Shoggoth has disappeared.

"???"

Natsuki Subaru was stunned at that time, and quickly looked around. The painting style of this thing is indeed very scary, especially at night. Emilia will definitely be shocked when she sees it, not to mention there are As for Rem, if the two maids suspect it, will it be over?

However, just when Natsuki Subaru was about to go out to search.

Accompanied by a squirming sound.

The Shoggoth actually pushed open the door and came back from the outside. He even opened his mouth, spit out something and threw it in front of Natsuki Subaru.

"Um?"

Natsuki Subaru looked down.

It turned out that it was an unknown book.

There were some twisted alien characters written on it, which seemed to be some kind of recipe. He had vaguely seen this book a few weeks ago.

"Recipe?"

Natsuki Subaru was slightly startled when he saw this, and then he responded: "Wait a minute, did you find me a fairy tale book just now after hearing me say I wanted it?"

"Gulu..."

The Shoggoths lying on the ground sped up and squirmed a few times again.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru was also a little surprised. This thing is indeed a bit too smart. He knew what he wanted after just one sentence. Of course, he was still a little confused: "But why is it a recipe? It shouldn't be a fairy tale. Book?"

"vegetable……!"

The Shoggoths on the ground made a sharp sound.

"Okay, stop talking."

Natsuki Subaru immediately raised his forehead when he heard this, then leaned over and picked up the sticky book: "I appreciate your kindness, but remember not to take things randomly next time, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

"vegetable……?"

The shoggoth's shrill voice took on a slightly off-tone tone.

"I told you it's not because of the food!"

Natsuki Subaru rolled his eyes, and then put the pile of kitchen waste on the ground: "Aren't you hungry? Eat quickly... No talking!"

"Gulu..."

The Shoggoth let out a low growl, and ate the pile of potato peels obediently, without making any movement.

"Really."

Seeing this, Natsuki Subaru sighed with a headache, and then flipped through the recipe book in his hand: "Fortunately it's just a recipe book, this shouldn't cause..."

However, this was only half said.

Natsuki Subaru's words suddenly froze in his throat.

Because just now, he saw with his own eyes that the pictures and text in the recipe melted again, turning into a dazzling scarlet color like blood.

Those few lines of creepy garbled characters resurfaced again.

"this……"

Natsuki Subaru's face turned pale when he saw this, and he subconsciously took two steps back: "Why even this book? Wait... Isn't it a problem with the book?"

"No, calm down."

Natsuki Subaru quickly took a deep breath: "You must calm down..."

"Oh, yes."

Just as he was talking, Subaru Natsuki suddenly felt blessed, and he suddenly became tough: "I'm not panicking at all, I'm not panicking at all, I'm the calmest, I'm super calm, I'm calm in the face of danger, I'm very smart... …”

In short, after the effect of the tough talk protection is activated.

Natsuki Subaru's brain was running rapidly. At this moment, he had realized that maybe the problem was not with these books at all, but with himself. As long as he opened the book, the content on it would be replaced with these garbled characters.

"It's strange, obviously it wasn't like this in the past few weeks."

Natsuki Subaru frowned. He had accidentally looked through some books during his previous reincarnations, but there were no such garbled characters on them, but now they were inexplicably like this: "Could it be..."

No reason.

Natsuki Subaru suddenly thought of a possibility: "...Did I explain the ability to return after death to Brother Dongwen?"

Thinking about it carefully, I did hide this matter in the first few weeks, but then I couldn't bear it anymore, so I told Xie Dongwen about it. After that, my reading seemed to be garbled, so this There must be some connection between the two things.

"It must be so!"

The more Natsuki Subaru thought about it, the more reasonable his speculation became, so he immediately continued to speculate along this idea.

"Could it be that after I explained this matter, because I violated some rules... I was noticed by something? For example, doctors from the outside world, or players trapped in the game?"

Natsuki Subaru frowned and kept reasoning: "Then their purpose...should be to send me news, right?"

"Is this kind of messaging one-sided?"

"No, that's not right."

Natsuki Subaru suddenly shook his head, and his whole person became calmer: "If it was one-sided, they would not be able to watch me. They must have some way to see or monitor me, so this kind of communication The message should be from both sides..."

"Are they waiting for my reply?"

Thinking of this, Natsuki Subaru's expression suddenly lit up: "Well, that's definitely the case. Then how should I reply to them now... should I write it in a book?"

"Yes, pen."

After realizing this, Natsuki Subaru immediately started looking around.

"Gulu..."

When the Shoggoth next to him saw this scene, he very cooperatively extended one of his tentacles. The tentacles hardened and lengthened, and finally broke into two sections with a snap, turning into something like a pen. , it just looks slimy.

"Thanks, Brother Xiu."

Natsuki Subaru immediately grabbed the pen and started writing on the book.

It is worth mentioning that I don’t know whether it is a problem with the pen or the book. The text written by Natsuki Subaru is also red. In addition, he writes very quickly, which makes this line full of a kind of Inexplicable madness.

If any outsiders read this book, they will find that there is an extra line of crazy and hideous words on the original normal menu, and this line of words is still red, as if it was drawn with blood, as dazzling as it is, and it is not at all It is as if a normal person could write it, but there is a strong sense of violation between the lines.

【what do I do? 】

It's just that Natsuki Subaru didn't notice this, he just raised his own question.

And this seemed to stimulate the book, and soon, a lot of garbled characters appeared on the book again.

【wake up! Find a way to wake up! 】

[Why is the word "stepping on the horse" in Japanese? Is that a little devil? Kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you...】

[…No, don’t make trouble upstairs, help me! Come on and save us! 】

[CNM coward! 】

"I……"

After Natsuki Subaru saw these gibberish, his expression froze obviously.

Faced with this lot of garbled characters, to be honest, he didn't know how to respond. The hand holding the pen was shaking slightly at the moment. This felt wrong whether he was returning to the top or the bottom.

The above keeps making me wake up, but the method is not mentioned.

The following is even more abstract. It doesn’t even feel like it was entered by the same person. It feels like...if I have to say it, it’s like a group of players, and they are all in different places, and there is no unified feeling between each other’s camps. .

To be honest, after seeing the three words "little devil".

Natsuki Subaru even fell into a trance.

He almost thought it was written by Xie Dongwen, but fortunately, he was no longer confused. Now he felt particularly clear-headed, as if he could distinguish the true from the false in this world.

"Then... let's verify it again."

Natsuki Subaru thought about it, picked up the pen and started writing.

【Why am I here? How can I wake up? 】

As he wrote, it didn't take long before bloody words appeared in the book again.

[You suffered a serious car accident and became a vegetative state, but a scientific research project funded by the government required clinical trials, and this was the only chance to awaken your consciousness, so your parents agreed, and your consciousness entered here. 】

【Little devil! Let me kill you a thousand times! Not enough! ! ! 】

[But something went wrong in the experimental project. Your brain is highly active, but you still can't wake up. 】

[Don’t listen to them, my friend, please don’t wake up. 】

[As for how you wake up, it’s very simple...]

[Save us, don’t wake up, don’t wake up, we have been trapped here for a long time, we also miss home, you are the only one who can save us, as long as you...]

【shut up! Shameless old thief! How can we, the Han people, be saved by foreign countries! 】

[...save it all. 】

[… Ruin all this. 】
