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

Subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to let her eyes meet the man sitting opposite her.

Without Hayasaka's support behind the scenes, no one could see what was happening here and now. She was completely isolated, only in the same place with the man in front of her. Kaguya, who clearly realized this fact, couldn't calm down, and felt that her heart was about to jump out of her mouth.

What should I do now? What should I do?

Panic.

When she realized that things were completely going in an uncontrollable direction, when she realized that she had no external help and could only rely on herself to face the unfamiliar situation in front of her, Kaguya couldn't keep a stable state of mind.

What will Gao Jun do to me?

He is a person who treats feelings very straightforwardly, says whatever he wants to say and does whatever he wants to do without beating around the bush. In such a place where there is no interference from external forces, what would he want to do to herself?

Kaguya couldn't help but think of the photos and videos that Hayasaka had shown her, those she secretly took of Gao Hai and Zhenfei Chihua during their date.

Will he do those actions that are so intimate that they make people blush?

The girl subconsciously shrank her body and pressed her legs together tightly.

It felt terrible.

Even though Gao Hai didn't do anything now, but just stayed where he was, Kaguya still felt a sense of panic.

However, while feeling scared, she seemed to be curious.

If he really wanted to do something to me, should I... cater to him?

If I don't reject him, what will happen?

It seems... slightly, there is an impulse to make things develop in that direction...

The girl, who was in a difficult mood, couldn't help but shake her feet gently.

Gao Hai, who didn't know Kaguya's rich inner drama, just looked at the scenery outside the window quietly for a while, and then turned his head to look at Kaguya.

"How is the recovery?"

He asked.

"Hey, recovery?"

Kaguya, who didn't expect Gao Hai's first sentence to be about this thing, was stunned, and didn't understand what Gao Hai was talking about for a moment.

"Hayasaka has many sequelae because she was a dog for too long. Although you were a dog for a shorter time, you still suffered the same thing. How have you recovered in the past two days? Are you okay?"

Takahashi said, looking at Kaguya seriously.

"Well... I've recovered well. I, I'm fine. I'm not like Hayasaka who was greatly affected by being a dog for too long. Basically, I'm fine after I'm back."

Realizing that Takahashi was concerned about her, Kaguya's originally flustered heart calmed down a little. Although she was a little disappointed for some reason, her mood did not seem to get worse, but she felt more relaxed.

However, her answer to Takahashi was not true, but a lie.

In fact, although her sequelae were not as serious as Hayasaka's, they had already reached the point where they would affect her life. It was just because her willpower was pretty good that she could restrain herself when there were outsiders.

Therefore, when she went to bed at night in the past few days, Kaguya had completely turned into a natural person and could no longer wear pajamas.

But how could she possibly tell Gao Hai about this? Just like the arrogant and insincere character of Zhenfei herself, Kaguya also has a strange self-esteem and a somewhat twisted competitive consciousness. This kind of distress that is difficult to overcome by herself, unless it is exposed and discovered by others, she will never take the initiative to say it even if the world ends.

"That's good, after all, the next mission has been determined. The final result of the discussion in the morning is to act together with the people from the [Slow Fish Gang], [Red Society] and [Market] to enter the remaining [Yellow Mountain Middle School] area of ​​[Campus Tales], try to find the doll house that is probably not in the Fujika Middle School area, and save the trapped Red Moon-level player. In other words, it will be a tough battle next, and I have decided that all of us will enter this dungeon. Although this is very dangerous, in order to ensure that the team's strength can be further improved and that individual personnel will not be left behind, I think this is a risk that should be borne."

Gao Hai's voice has become serious.

After hearing this, Kaguya quickly changed her mindset, recovered from her initial shyness, listened carefully to what Gao Hai said, and nodded slightly from time to time.

Enter the remaining areas of the [School Tales] dungeon to complete the rescue mission? In addition to Gao Jun's own limitations, that is, he must crack the core obsession of the [Ye Luoshan Middle School] area and further destroy this pseudo-Red Moon-level dungeon that has destroyed nearly half of the area.

It is certain that this will not be an easy task, or since meeting Gao Jun, Kaguya has never seen this man go through a simple game that can be easily passed.

He always experiences hard and difficult battles, and always experiences one ordeal after another.

Compared with Gao Hai's side, those dark fragments in her memory, those things that made her sad and troubled, can almost be said to be whining without illness. But faced with such a difficult and dangerous situation, faced with repeated death and the torture of repeatedly searching for a way to survive, this man still kept smiling, remained unmoved, as if no matter how heavy the burden was, it could not crush him.

Kaguya was suddenly stunned.

She suddenly remembered Gao Hai's attempt to kiss her in the ruins of Shirakawa Apartment.

At that time, she finally chose to kiss him on the cheek, which was actually very inconsistent with her personality. Logically, she should have severely criticized Gao Hai for his frivolous words and deeds and his infidelity to Zhenfei, but she instead made the kind of intimate behavior that she would never do at ordinary times.

So, is that the case?

The girl blinked and figured out why she was attracted to this man.

Even though he was on the verge of death, he could still laugh out loud and make slightly excessive jokes very freely, as if death itself was not worth mentioning to him.

It was at that time that she realized the shining point of this man, was attracted to him, and slowly changed because of him.

It was precisely because of the dazzling light that she was able to ignore the shortcomings of the other party and tolerate his imperfections. Because just that light is enough for me to look up to and pursue.

"I will do my best to help Gao Jun complete the clearance."

Therefore, Kaguya finally said this seriously.

"Are you so motivated? Can you accept that I am putting everyone in danger on my own initiative?"

Hearing this, Gao Hai couldn't help but smile, leaning back in his chair and sighing.

Only then did Kaguya hear the slightly suppressed emotions hidden in Gao Hai's words. He was actually not completely sure whether this approach was correct. He was actually still a little hesitant about whether to bring everyone into the extremely dangerous Red Moon-level copy. It was just out of his own rationality that he finally made up his mind to do so.

"Of course, after all, we are a team, Gao Jun."

Kaguya's mouth was slightly smiling.

"From the moment we become players, danger is destined to accompany us."

"And meeting Gao Jun, being able to become a partner and comrade with Gao Jun, and facing various dangers in the dungeon together, this is a kind of luck."

"No matter what kind of danger there is ahead, I believe Gao Jun will be able to lead us through and overcome it. I will also exert my full strength and strive to truly help Gao Jun, become Gao Jun's trusted helper, and face those dangers with Gao Jun."

Even the words became a little clumsy.

At this moment, the girl who tried hard to express her feelings even felt that she didn't know what she was saying, and she felt that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But Gao Hai just listened silently, without making even a single laugh.

Until Kaguya finished speaking, the expression on his face relaxed, and there was a little bit of a happy arc.

Reaching out and grabbing the girl's slender hand.

Gao Hai lowered his head and looked at Kaguya who was a little embarrassed and wanted to avoid his sight. After a long pause, he finally spoke softly.

"Well, I understand. Thank you, Kaguya."

Takahashi smiled gently, and that smile made Kaguya even more flustered. She had to lower her head and try not to let the other party see her rosy cheeks.

What? This is like a confession atmosphere.

Almost at the same time when this thought came to her mind, Takahashi came close to Kaguya's head, and his lips were almost touching her ears.

"So, can you try to date me, lovely Miss Kaguya?"

Boom——

Kaguya's mind exploded at this moment.

She widened her eyes and stared blankly at Takahashi, who was smiling in front of her. She watched his head get closer again, until their foreheads touched each other, until his smile was so close that they could kiss directly, and then she finally realized what happened.

"Just now, was that a confession? You, you, you, are you confessing, Gao Jun?!"

The girl's cheeks, completely unprepared, were like ripe red apples.

"Well, yes, I am confessing to the lovely, beautiful, and very delicious Miss Kaguya. I like you very much. Do you want to date me?"

Gao Hai's voice was not confused at all.

The girl, who had completely forgotten her plans and goals before coming here, let out an extremely shameful cry at this moment.

A few minutes later, when the Ferris wheel stopped again, before the staff opened the door of the car, Kaguya quickly escaped from it, covering her red cheeks and running away neatly.

Ah...

Gao Hai, who was still sitting in the car, was dumbfounded.

No, is this the common gene of the Shinomiya Shijo family?

After Gao Hai's confession just now, Kaguya was stunned for several minutes without giving any response, and then after the car stopped steadily, she came to her senses and directly chose to flee the scene, even breaking the door of the car for this.

In the end, it was unknown whether she agreed to the date. Was today's work a success or a failure?

Takahashi, who was left behind by the fleeing Kaguya, could not think of the correct answer for a moment.

Interlude 3-28: Information about [Nightfall Mountain Middle School] and hints from Huanmeng

Takahashi pondered for a long time whether the date with Kaguya in the afternoon was a success, but still could not come up with any answer.

The main reason was that she ran away too easily, and Takahashi did not even have the chance to observe whether she was shy or what was going on.

However, after that, Hayasaka sent Gao Hai a video, in which Kaguya rolled around on the bed with a pillow in her arms. It was obvious that the girl was just embarrassed, so the date was finally concluded to be a complete success.

Later, after returning to the hotel, Gao Hai sat back in his chair and took out his mobile phone after receiving the news from the construction team that the repair process was going smoothly and could be completed ahead of schedule. He saw a lot of messages sent by Zhen Fei.

All the information about [Yeluoshan Middle School] that could be found on the forum has now been sorted out by Zhen Fei and sent to Gao Hai's mobile phone after being classified.

Among them, whether it was the relevant information about the two copy cores that had been taken away, or the only relevant information left in the copy, Zhen Fei sorted it out. Some of the information also left messages from Zhen Fei herself, and some even had messages from Qianhua. It seems that the two girls should have sorted out the information together.

It's really a very reliable partner, saving him a lot of trouble at once.

Gao Hai, who sincerely admired Zhen Fei's efficiency, sighed a few words and then connected his phone to the computer, transferred all the documents sent by Zhen Fei to the computer, and then clicked to view.

Yeluoshan Middle School, one of the four dungeon areas of [Campus Tales], is also a dungeon area with the most core obsessions, the largest and most complex scenes, but at the same time the highest operability for players. Although this school is a Red Moon-level dungeon area with many dangers, compared to the Fujika Middle School area where Alice is frantically chasing players, and the Zaoli Primary School area where cognitive blocking backtracking plus dog-changing mechanisms attack players' spirits in various ways, this school can actually be considered "simple" in a sense.

One of the most intuitive manifestations is that two of the three core obsessions of Yeluoshan Middle School were taken away by Red Moon-level players, so that the entire dungeon area has undergone tremendous changes.

As a high school-based dungeon area, Yeluoshan Middle School covers a large area, including two teaching buildings and an abandoned old teaching building, a school building and an abandoned school building, an indoor gymnasium and an outdoor court, an open-air swimming pool, a large venue, a wind farm on the back mountain and the top of the mountain, and a tunnel left over from the war. It can be said that the map area is large, the area is large, and the map is crisscrossed and complex, comparable to the horizontal comparison between Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring.

But it is precisely because this place is too large and the internal rules are extremely complex and changeable, so players can use the different rules of different areas to continuously adjust their strategies, so that they can successfully bring out two of the core obsessions.

Well... Then the remaining core obsession is the only one, which directly raises the difficulty level of this dungeon area several times. Although it will not become a complete death zone like [Bydos Academy], it is basically not a place where players can survive for a long time.

The first core obsession is a little girl playing the guitar.

The guitar is now in Goto Ichiri's possession. It is a terrifying obsession that can directly affect time itself. As long as it is used properly, it can be easily used to insert non-existent people in history to record and search for various clues or obtain key items. The operability is terrifying.

As for why the source of this core obsession is a seemingly ordinary little girl, according to the information compiled by Zhenfei, this girl herself seems to be a rare split personality patient. She has split into five different personalities and has been in a state of near mental disorder. As a result, the school secretly arranged to transfer her from the mental hospital where she was supposed to stay to this school.

The ghost stories of Yeluoshan Middle School are often related to the students' [imagination]. This girl was involved in a rumored ghost story that can travel through time. After some development, she began to be able to use the guitar to create non-existent people and things. In the end, she was completely trapped in endless fantasy and split, causing the second teaching building to become an extremely distorted area. At that time, Goto Ichiri, Kita Ikuyo and Aoyama Nanami, together with another Red Moon-level player team, entered this area, and Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo successfully brought out the core obsession.

Now, with Goto Ichiri bringing out this obsession, the area related to this core obsession in Yeluoshan Middle School has been blocked. But in order to restore the dungeon to a normal exploration and a relatively safe level, Miss Pochi has decided to take the obsession back and reopen the area related to this core obsession.

The second core obsession that followed was a young boy who looked unremarkable but detonated a bomb in the school, killing more than half of the teachers and students.

This core obsession was actually the direct cause of Yeluoshan Middle School's fall from normal operation to the dungeon world. According to the clues investigated by Zhenfei, the boy himself was very shy and an introverted and timid child. As a result, after he was promoted to the first year of high school, he began to be bullied and was constantly bullied by students, and no one made friends with him.

If it was just that, it would be fine, but somehow, this boy was also associated with a fictional ghost story. Classmates and teachers began to think that this boy represented one aspect of the strange power in the school, and that as long as the boy continued to suffer, the chances of others being threatened by ghost stories would decrease. In other words, as long as the boy was tortured, it was equivalent to letting him take the place of everyone else in the school to bear the torture of those strange things.

How long did this torture last, whether anyone realized what was being done during the process, and whether anyone helped the boy, the specific information in this regard has not been investigated. But what is certain is that in the end, the boy stole a missile from the abandoned military base on the back mountain of the school. I don’t know how he did it, but he successfully detonated it in the school auditorium, killing most of the teachers and students who came to the auditorium at that time. As a result, the Yeluoshan Middle School area began to undergo a vicious change, disappearing from the real world and entering the dungeon world.

"Is this a weird version of Angola Newman?"

Gao Hai couldn't help but complain after reading the information of this core obsession.

However, I always feel that this story structure is very familiar. Pick a victim to bear the pain, and then say that everything the victim suffers is borne for everyone else, so that everyone can naturally watch him suffer, or even actively harm him.

Anyway, Gao Hai doesn't like this kind of story.

The obsession of this core obsession was taken away by a Red Moon-level player team from the United States. According to the observation of the [Red Society] players who were traveling with him at the time, the obsession seemed to be a lame kitten, an extremely rare living obsession. As for the specific effect of that thing, because the player team is very mysterious and no one has witnessed its use of this obsession, it is still completely unknown.

Of course, Gao Hai is not panicked at all. He is 1000% sure that the obsession will return to the copy in some "reasonable" way. After all, since this mysterious black watch requires him to crack the copy, it will definitely not let him enter a copy with an incomplete core obsession that cannot be completely cracked. Just like Alice's fourth obsession will resonate and force Gao Hai to return to the copy after collecting the other three obsessions, this kind of thing is bound to happen.

I just don't know if there will be any unexpected variables in this action. After all, two of the three core obsessions of Yeluoshan Middle School have been basically solved, at least the cracking methods have been basically solved. In other words, in terms of the actual difficulty of the copy, the current Yeluoshan Middle School is no longer as difficult as Fujika Middle School and Zaoli Primary School.

Putting this question in the bottom of his heart, Gao Hai continued to read the information and soon saw the third core obsession of Yeluoshan Middle School, which is also the only core obsession in Yeluoshan Middle School that has not been cracked and the core obsession object has not been found.

The foundation of [Strange Words Come True], a terrible thing that is completely made up of imagination and is believed to have no roots.

A core obsession that is very likely to be created by a "writer" using some kind of loophole, and to guide those researchers step by step to ensure that Yeluoshan Middle School cannot be cracked, so-called core obsession that cannot be cracked without weaknesses.

Part of the power of that thing is now attached to Kita Yuyo. When Gao Hai was in Fujika Middle School, he almost had his head split by this thing. Speaking of which, that group of students were also killed and manipulated by that thing once. Now thinking back, it is still a pity. I can only say that my power is not strong enough. It is already difficult to protect myself and the people around me. I really don’t have the spare energy to take care of those ordinary people.

Although even if they survive, they will be forced to be identified as Dark Night players by the [Sacrifice Game] because they have cleared a pseudo-Red Moon-level copy, resulting in the next official entry into the game starting at Dark Night level, and there is basically no way to survive. After all, ordinary players don’t have "market" investment like Gao Hai, who can easily get a ticket to the Dusk level.

Forget it, why think so much, death is death, it has nothing to do with me.

Gao Hai shook his head slightly to drive those messy thoughts out of his mind, then looked through the remaining information and some related rule sheets. When he felt a little sleepy, he turned off the computer, went to the bathroom, quickly washed up, and then went to bed.
