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

Hayasaka Ai, whose mind was a little confused, tried to hold her face as tight as possible and didn't show the discomfort in her heart.

Gao Hai saw that the girl's expression was calm, and knew that she had completely adjusted her mentality, so she turned around and turned to Kaguya without saying anything more.

Coincidentally, Kaguya had almost finished flipping through the notebook at this time. After noticing Gao Hai's sight, she put down the notebook with a serious expression, first looked at Hayasaka with concern, and then felt relieved when she saw that the other party was in good condition, and then looked up at Gao Hai, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Gao Jun, why did you take off your apron?"

Looking at Gao Hai's angular and not overly bloated figure, Kaguya coughed lightly and asked.

"That apron seems to be a [gift] at the moment. I'm a little worried that if I keep wearing it, I may be targeted by something, so for now, I'll keep it in this form for the time being. How are you, do you have any ideas?"

Gao Hai pointed to the notebook that Kaguya put down, looked at her and asked.

"My idea is related to this apron. Since it is a gift, I wonder if we can use this gift to find the identity of the person who gave the gift and where the other party may be?"

It is obvious that business is more important at the moment. Kaguya calmed down and stopped paying attention to Gao Hai's chest and abdominal muscles. She spoke her thoughts in a calm tone.

Chapter 29: New changes in the venue and people in action

Squeak--

After a slight sound, it was Gao Hai who opened the door and looked at the kennel outside.

All the cages have become quiet, and the mixed-haired puppies inside are motionless, losing all vitality like fur dolls.

Just like the soup pot in the small room will solidify after the butcher is sealed. These living people who have been transformed into mixed-haired puppies have actually become part of the weird mechanism, and will lose their ability to move as the weirdness is sealed. So they are indeed no different from death, and they are already in a state where they cannot be saved.

But on the contrary, this also means that this kennel, like the small room deep in the kennel, has become a temporary safe house.

"Come out, this room is safe for now."

Takahashi waved behind him, and then Kaguya and Hayasaka came out carefully and came to Takahashi's side.

"Here... this kennel..."

Returning to the kennel where she had been trapped for several days, Hayasaka Ai subconsciously trembled and her face turned pale.

The way she mistakenly entered the kennel was actually similar to Kaguya's. They both triggered the [Friend] rule during the investigation, and then they were lured into the kennel by [Friends] because they walked around. When they realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape, they were closed by [Friends] and could not leave. The difference is that Kaguya had Takahashi to save her, so she only acted as a dog for dozens of minutes, while Hayasaka experienced torture for several days.

At the beginning, Hayasaka herself could still maintain her consciousness as a human, knew clearly who she was, and tried to escape from this place.

But her efforts naturally did not achieve any results. The puppy in the cage could not save itself no matter what method it took, unless it used the obsession mechanism like Gao Hai to create an [external force] for itself, so that it could successfully escape from the cage.

So after a hard day, Hayasaka began to feel a little confused the next day, and began to find that her thinking ability was getting worse.

The girl herself did not know that this was because she was being transformed by the power of the ghost story and was gradually turning into a real dog. But she still felt the fear of this self-consciousness being weakened little by little, and gradually fell into despair.

By the third day, Hayasaka was actually a little confused about whether she was a human or a dog. Her memory as a human had begun to fade a little bit, and she even couldn't help but suspect that it was just her illusion, not her own experience.

Fortunately, Gao Hai and Kaguya came in time. Although more than three days had caused considerable damage to Hayasaka's cognition and self, these things could be gradually repaired after she turned back into a human. If the two rescued Hayasaka at the last minute of the sixth or seventh day, even if she could recover, she would inevitably have some sequelae. For example, Neon has a very famous Red Moon-level player team [Red Society], and there is a player who was trapped in Hayate Elementary School for six days. Afterwards, her companions spent more than half a month, with the help of obsession objects, to correct some of the player's behaviors, and until now, this player still does all kinds of unbearable behaviors.

Of course, for the three people who are still in the dungeon, this kind of thing is not what they need to care about.

"It's okay, it's okay, we will take you out."

In the previous communication, Kaguya already knew what Hayasaka had suffered during this period, so she immediately comforted her softly.

It's a bit subtle. In the more than ten years that Kaguya and Hayasaka have been together, although she really treats Hayasaka sincerely, she has almost never treated her little maid in such a gentle voice.

However, it is precisely because of Kaguya's current performance that is full of contrast with usual performance that Hayasaka can recover faster. Although it may not be polite to say this, it is precisely because her eldest lady's performance is too abnormal that Hayasaka can get out of her current abnormal state faster. How to say it, just like your boss who used to work 996 every day suddenly gives you a long vacation, asks you about your well-being and sends you fruits and gifts. At this time, you naturally will not pay more attention to your own troubles, but can't help but think about whether the other person's brain is wrong in the strong sense of disobedience, so you will also be relieved from your own abnormal state faster.

Of course, the relationship between Hayasaka and Kaguya is not that bad, but even so, Kaguya's performance is still too abnormal for her, so it is difficult not to pay attention.

"... Miss, I'm in good condition now, thank you, don't worry too much about me."

Hayasaka said in a low voice and forced a smile at Kaguya, trying to make herself act more normal.

"Don't force yourself. We are in a very dangerous place now. If you have any problems, you should speak up immediately. If you hide them in your heart, it will be bad if you really get into trouble. After all, we must overcome the difficulties as a team now."

Kaguya felt a little relieved when she saw that Hayasaka seemed to have no major problems, but she still warned her seriously.

"Well, I know. I have no problem, but I am still a little uncomfortable with this dress."

Although she also thought about whether to explain this inexplicable instinctive impulse to the eldest lady, Hayasaka finally looked at Gao Hai in front of her, hesitated for a while and decided not to bring it up. After all, she is also a girl, and Hayasaka still has a sense of shame.

Crack——

Taka Hai, who was at the front, did not pay attention to the movements of the two people behind him, but continued to move forward cautiously, opened the door of the kennel, and looked outside.

The hall is still the same as before, and it seems that there should be no big problem at present.

Considering that this butcher monster obviously has a deep relationship with the special existence [Chiyoko Hachiya], Gao Hai was worried that the other party would come to seek revenge or something. But at present, it seems that there should be no other intelligent monster like Alice, so although the monster ran over and snorted, it did not do anything to Gao Hai.

"It's safe outside, come out, and then we have to find something that can be used as clothes for Hayasaka."

Gao Hai said this, and after Kaguya and Hayasaka walked out of the room, he walked down the stairs and returned to the lobby on the first floor.

Gao Hai noticed here that there were some graffiti paintings on the surrounding walls that had not been there before, which seemed to be painted [black].

Some graffiti looked like completely random lines, but some of the lines in them just formed a twisted black human figure, and some pictures used bright colors to draw what looked like children or adults, and then drew black human figures standing next to these people. There is also a graffiti on the wall that Gao Hai is very concerned about. This graffiti roughly and simply draws a classroom, as well as students and teachers in the classroom. At the same time, a [black] smiling face drawn with red crayon appears at the top of the layer, which has destroyed the original appearance of this childish graffiti to a considerable extent.

The reason why Gao Hai paid attention to this picture has nothing to do with the content of the painting. It's just that after seeing this thing, Gao Hai vaguely realized that the place where this picture was drawn might be the classroom where he and Kaguya triggered the rule to die in the first round.

When [The Butcher] temporarily disappeared from the copy, did anything change in that classroom?

Gao Hai, who noticed this, knew that the direction of his next investigation was almost that classroom. However, this is not bad. Where you fall, you stand up again. This kind of thing is not unfamiliar to Gao Hai.

"Kaguya, keep an eye on the movement behind you at all times and report every 30 seconds."

Speaking in this way, Gao Hai opened the door and returned to the corridor he had passed countless times. Then he noticed that the mirror in the far end of the corridor was smashed by someone, and the graffiti on the wall became more than at the beginning.

"There are more children's voices. Although I can't see them, I feel that they seem to be everywhere now. There are their figures in every room..."

Kaguya behind him spoke softly, with a bit of hesitation in her tone.

Sigong Kaguya, who couldn't fully perceive those things, frowned. She was at the end of the team and heard very obvious sounds of children playing and fighting since she returned to the hall, as well as the roar of various things being thrown to the ground, smashed and destroyed.

It was like a group of crazy bear children, destroying everything.

Although she couldn't help but have such thoughts, Kaguya never saw any children, and gradually she couldn't help but have some doubts and suspicions in her heart.

Hayasaka Ai in the middle of the team was silent at this time. She didn't know what role she could play at this moment, so she just followed Gao Hai carefully and moved slowly forward with him.

Gao Hai quickly opened the door and entered the [Teacher's Office] that he had visited once before. He first summoned the fire fighters and asked them to search and investigate the office to find text that could be read clearly. Try to see if they can find it here. What a clue.

Hayasaka, who was walking behind, took off the soft cover from the slightly dirty sofa cushion in the living room and tied it around his waist. It was like making a temporary skirt, completely covering the area from thighs to knees.

Gao Hai didn't pay much attention to the fact that the girl's fair thighs were blocked. Instead, he opened the classroom door after signaling the two girls behind him to be alert, only to find that the situation inside was no different from when he came before.

Did I understand it wrong?

Gao Hai, who frowned and thought for a while, thought about it and asked Hayasaka and Kaguya to follow him into the classroom. The summoned firefighter stayed in the office to continue investigating.

"There's no more graffiti or anything like that here, and... I can't hear the voices of those children here anymore."

Kaguya walked into the classroom and said to Gao Hai.

"Where was the previous office? Did you hear anything in that office?"

Gao Hai asked, without trying again to open the observation room with the magnetic card.

"...No, I can still vaguely hear the voices of children there, but the distance feels quite far away. After entering this classroom, I can't hear any children's voices at all. This place seems to isolate those sounds. ?”

Kaguya carefully observed the room as she spoke, and stayed beside Hayasaka without going too far away from her.

"Rather than being isolated, it feels more like being freed from some kind of bondage. Because the [Butcher] was sealed, did the [Children] lose some rules that restricted their actions? If so, I want to get clues from them. The difficulty may become much greater.”

As Gao Hai spoke, he looked at the two doors on the side of the classroom that he had not opened yet.

One of the doors leads to somewhere, and the other door looks somewhat similar to the door of the Nap Room. Speaking of which, students are now running around without restraint, so school-related scenes such as [classrooms] and [offices] no longer have traces of their existence. Can we think that there were originally many [black] Huhu]’s nap room is now empty?

It might have been dangerous to stay in the nap room before, but if you go there now, it might become safer.

Thinking this way, Gao Hai turned around and looked at Kaguya. The two sides had a tacit understanding and didn't need to say anything. They already knew each other's division of labor. So Gao Hai quickly walked to the door of the nap room, and Kaguya followed and carefully guarded the surroundings. At the same time, he did not forget to drag Hayasaka to join him.

These two people have been able to cooperate very skillfully.

Mr. Gao's investigative actions were completely professional. Although his eldest lady looked unprofessional, her awareness and actions were already excellent, and the two of them had a good sense of cooperation. Before I knew it, how many times had the two of them worked together in danger?

A few days ago, I was still doubting whether Mr. Gao would be harmful to my young lady, and whether he had the legendary hypnotic ability, but I didn't expect that this was actually the case. Where I, the maid, cannot see, how much suffering has the eldest lady gone through, how much blood and sweat has she shed? It's so incompetent...

Hayasaka's mood and mentality had basically recovered completely at this time.

She slowly focused her attention, and when Gao Hai was about to open the door to the nap room, she learned to be vigilant about the surroundings like Kaguya, observing the entire classroom for any suspicious signs.

Then, she heard a small, hallucinatory call.

[Hey, hey, look here]

The girl's eyes turned slightly following the voice.

Then she saw a gap in the wall on one side of the classroom, which had opened at some point.

And a woman leaned out from the dark room behind the wall, grinning and waving at him.

Chapter 30: Strange and unknown phenomena are gradually emerging

[Hello, are you a new student? 】乊

【What's your name】

[Come and talk to me, come and become good friends with me]

Amid the faint laughter, Hayasaka's eyes gradually became trance-like.

Who is that person on the other side?

You can't see clearly what the other person looks like, and you can't seem to distinguish the other person's voice, but you seem to be able to feel that the other person should be your friend, someone you can trust wholeheartedly, no need to doubt at all, the best and best friend.

From the day I enrolled here, I have become a good friend...

After I have been studying here for a long time, I have become very, very good friends with myself, and I wholeheartedly do her best...

Therefore, what needs to be done is actually very clear. All I need now is——

Snapped!

Kaguya's outstretched hand patted Hayasaka's shoulder.

The girl's consciousness suddenly woke up at this moment.

She didn't go to school here.

She has never made any friends here.

Obviously, these were all fictitious memories that did not exist at all, but Hayasaka had such a real cognition at that moment, and sincerely believed that there was a friend who was very close to her there.

But now, there was no one there, just an empty wall.

"Miss, what was that just now..."

Hayasaka shrank slightly, and the fear of having her mind directly changed once again enveloped her, making the girl a little at a loss for a moment.

"Don't think about it, don't look at it, don't let those things occupy your mind."

After giving a warning, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately began to check Hayasaka's condition. Through the combination of sensing malice and sensing normal and abnormal blessings, she quickly determined that Hayasaka was just a little dazed, and there was nothing wrong with her, and she was not affected more.

And Gao Hai, who noticed the abnormality, immediately stopped and turned his eyes to the direction that Hayasaka had looked at before, that is, the direction of opening the hidden door.

At this moment, in Gao Hai's sight, the wall seemed to have a slight ripple, like the surface of water dripping with water drops. But after a closer look, he found that there was no change on the wall, as if everything was just an illusion, just his own imagination.

The thing just now did not match the characteristics of [Black], it should be some new thing that has not appeared before.

It did not find me, nor did it find Kaguya, but targeted Hayasaka? Kaguya and I did not sense the existence of that thing, which means that it only targeted Hayasaka. Does she have some characteristics that neither Kaguya nor I have? Or is she just unlucky to be chosen?

In the absence of a specific answer, now we can only leave this classroom as soon as possible.

However... although a very dangerous and terrible monster was successfully sealed, the chain reaction that followed now looks less and less optimistic.

Gao Hai guessed that it might be because of the disappearance of [The Butcher] that some things that would have been checked and controlled by this rule expanded their scope of influence and could appear in places that could not appear due to the restrictions of the rules. Therefore, now their team will encounter things that have never been seen before in the known areas they have been to before.

As for whether it was the KP who was causing trouble... This possibility was not high. Although Gao Hai had no good feelings towards the KP, he was sure that the guy had his own set of aesthetics and self-esteem. It was not a very decent behavior to secretly attack his ability to rewind. If he continued to cause trouble during the dungeon and arbitrarily modified the various rules and settings in the dungeon, this would not be in line with the image of a KP who was extremely confident in his own script and extremely disgusted with [situation changes].

[Hehehe... Hahaha...]

While thinking this way, Gao Hai heard laughter coming from all around him, which seemed to come from the children sitting in the seats, around him, laughing at him.

[Classmates, class is about to start]
