Why is my time traveling to the second dimension such a weird rule story?

Extremely subtle footsteps that were almost lost in the sound of rain.

If his perception was not good enough, Gao Hai was sure that he would not be able to detect the presence of footsteps.

tread--

The second sound of footsteps sounded.

There was almost no difference from the previous footsteps. The sound was exactly the same in size and loudness. It was approaching from the corridor straight towards his position.

tread--

The third sound of footsteps sounded.

There was no difference between the first two footsteps, and the intervals between the second and third footsteps were exactly the same.

not human.

Gao Hai quickly made this judgment.

It is impossible for human footsteps to be so regular. This kind of mechanically precise footsteps is definitely not owned by humans. Moreover, almost half a minute has passed since the power outage and the lights were turned off. The servants of Kaguya's family should have come over to check on the situation long ago. But from just now to now, Gao Hai didn't hear any movement at all except the footsteps. This is quite unreasonable.

Or, this thing that broke into the mansion in the dark had already killed everyone in the mansion except him and Kaguya. Or, the power of this thing caused the surrounding environment to change, making it impossible for him to sense the movements of the servants, and the servants were unable to reach the location of the room.

No matter what, it is certain that the person who comes is not good.

So Gao Hai pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

boom!

The sudden sound of gunshots was particularly harsh at this moment.

The bullet did not come out of the muzzle, and there was no spark from the gun.

But based on the location of the footsteps of the thing outside the door, after Gao Hai decided to fire, the bullet appeared out of thin air in the corridor outside the door and flew towards the location where the fourth footsteps sounded.

The preliminary test was that 15 rounds of bullets were fired in an instant, hitting the location of the thing from all directions.

Although this is an infinite bullet mode that does not have weird characteristics, Gao Hai has been able to confirm through testing that the bullets in this mode can still exert a certain degree of control over weirdness, and can knock away or suppress physical monsters. , so it can be used for testing.

As for whether the person outside the door is actually a person, this is unlikely. After all, Gao Hai's own senses are still difficult to be deceived. And, with the sound of the fourth footsteps, another of his blessing effects has started to operate automatically, giving him a warning.

Can't open the door.

You can't meet that thing, you can't see that thing.

If you see it, you will die!

The third effect of Hirano Sosuke's blessing pointed out to Gao Hai a clear "safe zone" at this moment, that is, any environment that is separated from the thing outside the door and can be in the same room without being blocked by the other person. .

Click click click——

The sound of breaking glass rang out from the corridor.

Those 15 bullets hit the walls, cabinets and lamps in the corridor, making bursts of explosions at this moment.

The fifth footsteps were already approaching the door of the side hall in the next moment.

The target was not hit.

Ordinary bullets don't hit anything. In other words, the thing outside the door... doesn't actually have an entity in the true sense?

boom!

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Hai immediately pulled the trigger again.

This time, he used the special bullets that only had 10 bullets. Once used, they had to wait 24 hours before they could be refreshed. They could seal the power of Kaidan.

Accompanied by a sudden flash of fire, Kaguya's eyes widened, and at this moment she felt an extremely strong feeling that was difficult to describe in words. It was as if something appeared along with the bullet coming out of the barrel, attached to the bullet, and roared towards the target designated by Gao Hai.

Sizzling——

The next moment, the lights came back on.

The heavy rain outside the window still hasn't stopped, and it continues to rain.

The strange footsteps had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed, and there was no trace left.

After Gao Hai stood silently at the door for a moment, he reached out and grabbed the door handle and slowly opened it.

There was nothing in the corridor outside the door. There were only holes made by random gunfire at various locations in the corridor, as well as gravel and glass scattered on the ground, indicating that what just happened was not a tragedy. Fantasy.

"What happened just now?"

Kaguya asked in a low voice as she cautiously poked her head out of the room behind Gao Hai.

"I'm here to give you tickets, but the way I give them is a bit unusual."

Gao Hai, who answered like this, had already seen something scattered on the ground that obviously did not exist here before.

The thing looked like a piece of paper.

In terms of style, it looked a lot like an invitation. It was very finely made and had a vague sense of age.

After confirming that this thing would not jump up and bite people, Gao Hai picked it up and found that it was a job description. The content was completely written in German. It was an already signed one, dispatching a certain non-commissioned officer. Instructions for deployment to Baidos Concentration Camp.

Gao Hai could sense the influence of strange power on this job description.

Just like the graffiti that Kaguya brought back, it should have a strong weird atmosphere, but somehow it stabilized and could be used independently.

A ticket.

I have to say that although Gao Hai thought about what this thing might be, he was still in a very heavy mood after seeing such a thing being delivered to his door.

There is no doubt that this was delivered to him by the power of KP, and Gao Hai estimated that among all the players so far, he was probably the only one who had really come into contact with the existence of KP. These things hidden behind the dungeon are obviously higher than the strange talk and weirdness. They exert influence in secret and create one dungeon after another. It can be said that in those tragedies, KP is always the individual who fuels the flames.

Why do they do this? What is their relationship with the sacrifice game? What position do these KPs take? What is the ultimate purpose of doing these things for at least several decades? What else will they do to this world in the future? Does the black watch I own have some kind of connection with these things?

One question after another weighed on Gao Hai's heart, making him feel particularly heavy.

He knew that with his initial contact and cracking of the Red Moon-level dungeon, he was far from being able to compete head-on with those things.

Even though he already had such a powerful force, and could use the combination of different blessings and the functions of the watch to exert a power far beyond that of ordinary players, he was still too insignificant in front of these mysterious beings.

However, since these things are so powerful, why do they still shape the dungeon in a secret way? The KP of Shirakawa Apartment used wrong information to induce Sanchez to make the wrong choice, the KP of the Red Nut Gray Cave used wrong ideas to induce Fornen, and the KP in Fujika Middle School induced Alice in some way. They did not use their own power that surpassed ordinary people's cognition too much, but used language, communication, and strategies to induce people to make choices and make copies one by one.

Whether it was the Red Nut Gray Cave dungeon or the Fujika Middle School dungeon, they were once able to cause huge disasters. But because of the influence of these KPs, they eventually became controllable dungeons that could be provided to players for exploration and investigation. From this point of view, what these KPs did did not seem to be completely bad? Although they did add fuel to the flames and trigger one tragedy after another, they also controlled the scope of these tragedies and [stabilized] them.

What exactly are they trying to do?

Gao Hai couldn't think of the answer to this question for a moment, or he actually had some guesses, but in the absence of any evidence, these ideas could only be guesses, so he didn't dare to really make a conclusion.

Forget it, take it one step at a time, the small fish in the foundation-building period should not think about how to interfere in the affairs of the Daluo Jinxian, but should deal with the things in front of them first.

"Don't worry, at least now, um... there shouldn't be any more situations, right? Let's go, it's almost time for us to enter the dungeon."

Concentrating his thoughts in his heart, Gao Hai put the job description with strange power into the watch space, then turned around, looked at Shinomiya Kaguya who didn't understand the situation, and spoke to her.

However, as if deliberately reversing his words, Gao Hai had just finished speaking when a servant hurried over from one side of the corridor. The other party was startled after seeing the abnormality in the corridor, but quickly adjusted his expression, bowed his head respectfully to Kaguya and said:

"Miss, the ladies of the Shijo family and the Fujiwara family are here."

Interlude 3-11: Shijo Maki wants to join the premonition of Gao Hai

Taka Hai had to admit that he still underestimated the ability of his two girlfriends.

They actually judged that he was hiding something from them based on the fact that he didn't molest them, and even speculated on the possible situation. It's really not to be underestimated. Obviously, he was still thinking about hiding this matter.

Taka Hai, who was silently complaining in his heart, looked at the two girls sitting on the same sofa, and Kaguya sitting opposite, with an unnatural expression, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"So, because my aunt's maid was trapped in the dungeon, Haijun decided to go in with my aunt, and the two of them ran into a high-risk dungeon of the same level as Fujika Junior High School, and they also planned to act privately without telling me and Fujiwara, is that what you mean?"

After roughly figuring out the situation, Zhenfei sighed, looking at Gao Hai and Kaguya with a complicated expression.

"It was my idea, she just asked me for help."

As Gao Hai said this, he took out his mobile phone to check the time, and confirmed that it was not past the most suitable time period for entering the dungeon that Xiong Mi had told him before, and there was still some time to chat and talk, so he was a little relieved.

"Is that so... Then, can you tell me why we can't get involved?"

Because they were talking about serious matters of life and death, Zhenfei didn't show any temper with Gao Hai, but looked at him seriously and asked.

But because of this, Gao Hai knew that it might not be easy to convince Zhenfei to let go of this matter. After all, although this girl often complains about Kaguya Shinomiya's stubbornness, she is actually quite similar to Kaguya in this respect.

Qianhua didn't say anything, but just gave Gao Hai a somewhat apologetic smile. She didn't have the idea of ​​intervening like Zhenfei. In her opinion, since Gao Hai made such a decision, he must have his reasons, so she was more inclined to believe Gao Hai. But Qianhua's thoughts could not influence Zhenfei, so in order to avoid any bad scenes, she also followed Zhenfei and wanted to hear what Gao Hai was planning.

"There are many reasons. The dungeon is too dangerous and uncertain. According to intelligence, the information pollution characteristics of this Zao Li Primary School dungeon are also terrible, so off-site assistance like Fujika Middle School cannot be used. And although my main goal in entering the dungeon is to save people, you all know that I must break the core obsession to successfully leave the dungeon, which determines that this mission will inevitably become more difficult. Considering that I now have a certain ability to protect myself in the Red Moon-level dungeon, if I bring Shi Gong and the person I want to save, there is still room for turnover, but if there are more people, the situation is hard to say."

In a calm voice, Gao Hai slowly explained his thoughts.

Shinki sat calmly on the sofa, listening to Gao Hai's words quietly, and then looked up at Gao Hai.

"So, because I would hold you back, Hai Jun chose to act without telling me?"

The girl's voice was a little volatile.

"... Maybe there are some factors in this regard, but it's not entirely true. In any case, this action is unnecessary and too risky. I still haven't been able to clearly understand the inside story of this dungeon, and the old players who know the situation are all very secretive. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the person to be rescued is Shi Gong's friend, and it would be easier to identify people if I took her with me, I would have wanted to go in alone."

Faced with Shinki's attitude, Gao Hai hesitated for a moment, but still explained the situation again.

"In any case, this matter was caused by me, and I should have been responsible for it. It's already very unpleasant for me to let Gao Jun get involved, and it's really not good to involve Shijo and Fujiwara..."

Kaguya also bowed her head slightly at this time and said very apologetically. But there was a hint of anxiety in her voice. Even though she knew that the best time to enter the dungeon had not yet passed, she was attacked by a strange thing that broke in inexplicably. Gao Hai was the only one who solved the problem. Then she ran over with Zhenfei and Qianhua. Such constant delays made the girl anxious. At this time, she could only stabilize her mentality as much as possible and force herself to hold on.

"Even if this is the case, we can still participate. We have experienced danger many times, right?"

But obviously, this reason could not convince Zhenfei.

"Since we have decided to establish a team, no matter what the situation is, we should face it together, right? Let me go too. Haijun and I have a spiritual connection, which makes it more convenient to collect and organize information. It is also easier to confirm and analyze the situation when encountering danger. If the three of us are together, it will definitely be easier to conquer the dungeon."

Zhenfei took a deep breath, and then refuted Gao Hai and Kaguya in a serious tone.

Compared with the scene of the little girl who was throwing a tantrum without caring about anything, the reaction of the real concubine at this time can be said to be quite restrained and rational, but it is precisely because of this that Gao Hai feels that it is really troublesome to persuade this girl.

He certainly knows that if the real concubine participates, she will definitely be able to help a lot.

After all, Shijo real concubine is the first one who experienced the dungeon with Gao Hai, established a close relationship together, and is the most familiar and tacit partner with each other.

But this time, she really can't be involved.

If Gao Hai didn't have any particularly clear reasons before, he just planned to go deep into the dungeon with Kaguya without telling everyone because he knew that the real concubine might stop him. At most, he would come back and get a few scoldings. Then, after getting the ticket to Baidos Academy and further understanding the existence and power of KP, he felt that it would be better not to let the real concubine participate now.

Gao Hai doubted whether the KP would prepare something in the dungeon of Zao Li Primary School.

And if this Zhenfei, whom he likes the most, cares the most, and has the greatest connection with him, enters Zaodachi Elementary School with him... To be honest, although there is no concrete evidence, Gao Hai instinctively feels that something might happen that will make him regret for the rest of his life.

However, he cannot say such thoughts and reasons directly.

After all, he is still very clear about the stubborn temper of this girl. If he says such words, she will only be more determined to participate, so he must use other reasons.

At this time, Qianhua stood up, walked to the side of Kaguya, grabbed her hand and motioned her to follow him to leave the room temporarily, leaving this side hall to Gao Hai and Zhenfei.

After the two girls left, Gao Hai was silent for a while, and suddenly thought of the thing that suddenly appeared before, walking in the corridor with the ticket of Baidos Academy. Gao Hai did not see the appearance of that thing, but he got the hint of [seeing will die] through the blessing, that is, the thing itself is a malicious weird existence, or the result of the power of the obsession.

The ways KP used to get himself tickets to Zaoli Elementary School and Yeluoshan Middle School were both [reasonable] ways.

Then this ticket to Bydos College should also be [reasonable]. In other words, although I did get the ticket through that weird thing, the guy who sent the thing in probably didn't do this kind of thing just to send a courier.

Is it the mysterious player behind the female face gang?

The player who has Alice's black umbrella is likely to use low-level players to do something. Could this thing be his means of temptation?

"You checked the time several times before. There is a time requirement to enter the copy of Zaoli Primary School, right? Let's go now. Although I came a little hurriedly, my aunt's grandmother originally left some spare supplies. I can prepare them in two minutes."

Zhenfei has stood up and is going to act directly.

At this time, Gao Hai also stood up and stretched out his hand to press on the girl's shoulder.

"No, this time, you really can't follow in."

Gao Hai said in a serious voice, lowering his head and looking into the girl's brown-purple eyes.

"After Shinomiya and I enter the dungeon, I'm afraid that you and Chika will be in trouble. If you are not here, the target may shift to your family and friends. So, you have to stay to solve this problem. In this matter, I can only rely on you and Chika."

Interlude 3-12: His bond with the world and the moment of entering the dungeon

In the end, Shinki was successfully persuaded and stayed reluctantly.

After seeing the broken marks of bullets in the corridor on the second floor, understanding the previous attack and the possible second wave of attacks, Shinki finally decided to stay after a moment of hesitation, and went with Chika to contact Goto Ichiri to find ways to prevent possible attacks.

After all, both Shinki and Chika have family and friends who need to be protected. After Gao Hai and Kaguya enter the dungeon, if the two of them also follow into the dungeon, no one will be able to detect if there is another attack in the real world.

The only one who can be considered as "family" is Kaguya Shinomiya, who has a negative family harmony. After Hayasaka Ai was trapped in the copy, even if someone really came to take revenge on her family, Kaguya would not care at all, and might even think that it was a good thing.
