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

What was I doing just now?

Gao Hai, with a frown on his face, lowered his head and saw the crooked words written on the back of his hand, which seemed to be written by him at some point.

There was only a very short sentence written on it:

[Just next to it]

So Gao Hai turned his head and looked at Ji Gang who was hanged beside him.

Is there anything next to me?

Chapter 3: Are you going around in circles now?

Hualala--

In the raging rain, Kaguya woke up from the dark room.

She frowned slightly and subconsciously reached out to cover her forehead. She could feel waves of dizziness and headaches, just like the kind of nervous fatigue that only comes from not resting for a long time, making it difficult for her to concentrate.

Where is this place? I didn't see Gao Jun's voice, which means that Gao Jun and I were separated to different places? This is really not a good thing...

Dinglingling--Dinglingling--

In the crisp collision sound, those crystal-like translucent decorations hanging down from the top of the bed were gently shaking and colliding at this moment.

The window, which seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, now let in a little light. Because the glass itself was very blurry for some reason, Kaguya could only barely recognize that it seemed to be daytime at the moment, and could not see clearly what was outside the window.

In any case, she could not stay still, and had to confirm the surrounding situation.

Thinking of this, Kaguya sat up from the bed full of dolls, walked down the bed carefully, and looked around.

The overall color of this bedroom was pink, and all kinds of cute decorations and toys, and all kinds of clothes in the closet, all showed that this child was well-off in life. The books and awards placed on one side of the room also showed the excellence of this child.

[Miyazawa Hana]

This is the name of the girl on the award certificate, the name of the child who may have lived in this room.

This name always feels like I have heard it somewhere before.

Kaguya couldn't help but have such thoughts in her heart. She searched around the house first, but didn't find anything worth paying attention to, such as the rule sheet. Then she tried to open the window and found that the windows on both sides of the bed seemed to be stuck by some force. Even with her enhanced strength, she couldn't open it easily. Then, she turned her eyes to the only door in the house that could be entered and exited.

From here, you should be able to leave this bedroom, but what will it look like outside? Considering the danger of this copy itself, Kaguya thought it would be better to be more cautious.

Slowly walked to the door, put your ear to the door, and listen to the movement outside.

Kaguya listened carefully for a while, but didn't hear anything unusual.

Then she reached out and grabbed the door handle, twisted it gently, and the door that was not locked was opened by her.

Outside the door was a slightly empty hall.

A round carpet that seemed to be a little moldy was laid in the middle of the hall. The pattern on it had obviously faded and it was difficult to see its original appearance.

There was a door on each side of the hall, and both doors looked like anti-theft doors, which was quite inconsistent with the wooden structure of the hall. At the same time, there was a staircase on the left side of the hall, leading to a higher platform. Standing under this platform, Kaguya could see that there was another door on the platform.

What is this place? The architectural style is completely different from the bedroom just now, as if two rooms were forcibly pieced together.

Feeling that the temperature around was a little low, Kaguya subconsciously shrank her body, put her hands around her chest and grabbed her sleeves, then stepped forward carefully, and slowly entered this cold and dim hall.

Soon, she noticed a yellowed notice posted on one side of the hall.

[Daytime Management Regulations of Zaoli Primary School]

[1. Ensure that all students are within the teacher's sight. Once a student is found to be out of the area where the corresponding management teacher is, the teacher must immediately find him/her and not let the student move freely in the school without supervision]

[2. Strictly manage student activities according to the student schedule and count the number of students at any time. Once the teacher finds that the number of students has decreased, the student activities must be stopped immediately until the teacher finds all the students under management]

[3. Students can only move in the corresponding classroom and are not allowed to go out without reason. When there is a necessary reason to go out, such as going to the toilet, at least one management teacher must accompany them before leaving]

[4. Teachers must carefully understand the content of the conversation between students and be aware of myths, monsters and strange stories. Topics like this need to be strictly controlled. Such topics are not allowed in Zao Li Elementary School. Teachers should guide students to view the world with scientific concepts.]

[5. Appropriate corporal punishment should be given to students who violate management regulations, and it must be ensured that the other party recognizes the mistakes in their actions. Those who do not change after repeated education must be supervised by special management teachers.]

[6. When parents come to the school to pick up their children, teachers need to ask students to confirm the parents' eyes, nose and mouth in turn. Parents can only take the students back after confirmation. If the students cry, parents must wait for 10 minutes before taking the children back.]

The content of the notice is written entirely in Japanese. Some of the wording and grammar are slightly different from now, but it is not difficult for Kaguya to recognize it.

As the first rule sheet she obtained in this copy, Kaguya carefully read the contents of this notice from beginning to end several times, memorized the contents in her heart, and then out of caution She also tore down the notice. Then, when she was thinking about whether to go elsewhere for further exploration, a door on the right side of the hall suddenly opened.

Kaguya was startled and quickly retreated. When she couldn't find a place to hide, she could only retreat towards the stairs, so that if she encountered a problem, she could choose to open the door on the left or escape up the stairs. .

Squeak——

The next moment he pushed open the door and walked in, it was Gao Hai.

"How's the situation here?"

Gao Hai who asked this question did not approach Kaguya immediately. Instead, after closing and locking the door behind him, he kept a distance from Kaguya and asked carefully.

"We haven't encountered any problems yet. Where are you, have you found any trace of Hayasaka?"

Kaguya shook her head and carefully observed Gao Hai as she spoke, but also did not approach him immediately.

Teammates who were separated from each other in the dungeon may not necessarily be able to trust each other immediately after reuniting. The two of them still understood this simple truth.

The power of blessing is judged to be human, with no malice or distortion of personality, so there should be no problem.

After careful observation, Kaguya, who was generally sure that there was nothing wrong with Gao Hai in front of him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Step - step -

But it was also at this moment that both Kaguya and Gao Hai heard the footsteps of something approaching from above the stairs, from the second floor platform surrounded by railings, and from the door.

Very strange.

Kaguya was certain that she had never heard this footsteps before.

But the first time she heard that voice, she felt a strong sense of familiarity.

[Hide quickly, that thing may be out to find someone! 】

Ji Gang said nervously, reaching out and opening the door of the bedroom where Kaguya just walked out.

[Everyone, come with me. It will be fine if you hide here! 】

Miyazawa Hana also said hurriedly.

You have to hide quickly.

"You go first, I'll be behind."

As Gao Hai spoke, he took out his pistol and stared at the door above the platform vigilantly.

Kaguya quickly ran back to the room she came out of, then lay down on the ground and hid under the bed.

[You will be safe here, you will definitely not be found here]

Miyazawa Hana, who was hiding with her, said seriously.

Click——

After entering the house, Gao Guang went to the door, locked it, and then turned around to face the house.

The roar of thunder sounded outside the window.

A flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the dim room and cast Gao Hai's shadow onto the bed.

At this moment, Kaguya seemed to vaguely feel that something was moving on the bed.

Under the bed where she was the only one hiding, Kaguya moved a little uncomfortably, put the notice she tore off next to her, and then touched a few scraps of paper.

Um? This is……

Kaguya turned her head and looked over with some confusion, and found that they were two yellowed pages crumpled into a ball, just like the notices she held in her hand.

She let go of her hand, and the crumpled notice she had held before fell to the ground, next to the other two pieces of paper. It seemed that there was no difference in color and size between the three pieces of paper.

Kaguya's eyes widened slightly when she noticed something. She grabbed one of the paper balls, opened it, and found that it was a notice. It was exactly the same as the one I tore off before, with no difference even in the traces of the tear.

"..."

In the silent moment of trance, Kaguya looked to the side, directly in front of her, to the bed board in front of her, and saw a line of slightly rough handwriting drawn out with her fingernails.

[Am I walking in circles? 】

Am I...am I going in circles?

Jingle Bell--

With a crisp collision, Kaguya slowly sat up from the bed.

Miyazawa Hana was humming a song while sitting at the small table in the bedroom, writing something in her notebook.

Ji Gang yawned and was fiddling with a tumbler on the toy cabinet in boredom.

Gao Hai stood leaning against the door, not holding a pistol, but standing silently with his head lowered, as if he was dozing off. But after Kaguya stood up, he immediately raised his head and looked at Kaguya.

【are you awake? 】

Gao Hai asked.

"Well, this time's copy...well, it's not as scary as expected."

Shinomiya Kaguya shook his head and said, getting off the bed, his forehead touched the hanging ornaments hanging from the top of the bed, and there was another crisp sound of tinkling bells.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the dungeon, the two of them acted together, which could avoid a lot of problems.

Kaguya, who couldn't help but have such a happy thought in her heart, looked at the four figures standing in the room.

Chapter 4: I act alone, alone, alone.

Gao Hai stood up from the sofa.

He looked around, at the shabby little living room that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

Then, he lowered his head and looked at the words written on his hands.

[I acted alone]

[I want to find my teammate Shinomiya Kaguya]

[I want to find Hayasaka Ai who disappeared in the Hayate Elementary School dungeon, and I have less than four days]

[I investigated the bedroom where I woke up first (crossed out)]

[I may have woken up here more than once]

That was the text he wrote himself.

Gao Hai was sure that it was his own handwriting, and he could still recognize his own words, but it was also because of this that he felt a strong sense of confusion at this moment.

Bedroom?

Which bedroom?

Gao Hai remembered that when he first entered this dungeon, he woke up in this shabby little living room.

In fact, in his current memory, he had just entered the dungeon and just woke up, and everything was just beginning. He didn't even have time to carefully observe the surrounding environment and confirm what the current situation was.

But now the records left in his hands told him that this was not the case. He had actually been in this dungeon for a while, and he had explored here, and the place he explored seemed to be different from the place where he woke up now.

Have I forgotten those exploration experiences?

Is this the effect of some kind of mental pollution? Does this copy have some kind of memory-deleting mechanism?

Or... these words I wrote down now are actually a deception created by some strange power? I really just arrived at this place, and I really haven't done any investigation on this copy yet. Is it just that some special mechanism of this copy is trying to deceive me?

Gao Hai took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

First of all, it can be confirmed that he should not have suffered from mental pollution, at least not mental pollution in the conventional sense.

When his willpower was strengthened by various blessings to the point that he could look down on most players, and even Red Moon-level players were not as strong as his willpower, Gao Hai could be sure that if he suffered from mental pollution, even if his cognition was distorted, there should be some traces left. He could never fail to notice any abnormality. At least he should have had a headache, dizziness, and discomfort all over his body, but he didn't encounter any of these.

If the intensity of mental pollution was not enough to hurt his mind, it would be understandable, but the problem is that he has now encountered an unreasonable abnormality. If the mental pollution path doesn't make sense, then what should it be?

While thinking, Gao Hai slowly stood up from the sofa, frowned slightly and looked around.

The light in this living room was very dim, there were no windows, and there was a door on each of the four walls that led to unknown places. Three sofas, one large and two small, were placed together around a low table. Not far away, there was an extinguished fireplace and a small cabinet that seemed to be used to store sundries.

On the low table right in front of Gao Hai, he saw a yellowed piece of paper.
