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

"In short, this group of cultists has been mobilized. There are 27 people in total, 7 of whom are Red Moon-level players who have officially passed the Red Moon-level dungeon, and 20 are Dark Night-level players. Originally, there was Dusk below this But before participating in this dungeon operation, all the players who had not passed the Dark Night level dungeon were killed and made into props. Then they used a method to force Dark Night level players to participate in the Red Moon level. The price of the props for the dungeon is that they will be trapped in an unknown area after entering the dungeon and will not be given an identity by the dungeon.”

"According to this guy's memory, in fact, those Dark Night-level players only participated as consumables. From the moment they entered the dungeon, they locked up all those Dark Night-level players and did not allow unauthorized actions, so now there are only 7 Oh, no, there are 6 Red Moon-level [Cultists] operating in the dungeon. You used an obsession to summon a follower to kill a strong man of this level. I don’t know what to say... "

As he spoke, Xiong Mi's tone took on a hint of emotion, while Gao Hai was silent at this time, just listening and lowering his head in thought.

A large player team of 27 people in total came out in full force, just because they got a prophecy about [Man of Destiny] Don?

Although he is now in a different world with real supernatural powers, Gao Hai himself is not very willing to believe in fate. Especially with the black watch as a plug-in, he didn't feel that there was any unchangeable fate on the road ahead.

But now, he has become the "Man of Destiny" in the eyes of others, and he is also the target of a group of crazy cultists. This matter makes Gao Hai feel a little funny.

However, no matter what those guys think, Gao Hai has only one attitude anyway, and that is to kill one by one, or kill the whole family in a group. From the moment these guys killed him in the first episode and even cast a curse on him that caused him to be killed in the safe zone, there was no possibility for Gao Hai to reconcile with this group of people.

"How much information do you have about the other six Red Moon-level players?"

Gao Hai asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Except for some basic information, there is almost zero. What should I say about these guys? Their defensiveness has become extremely abnormal. Judging from this guy's memory, the seven of them will do it after every cooperative action. Clear each other's memories to ensure that each other's trump cards are not exposed, and to prevent each other from killing each other. Therefore, I can only find out from this person's memory the extraordinary mobility of the other six people in this mission. Power, and there is no way to determine whether it is an obsession or a blessing."

Xiong Mi shook her head and said, and then gave a rough explanation of the characteristics and exposed abilities of the other six cult players that she extracted.

This group of players is indeed quite strange. It can be seen from the memory of this prisoner that these people are obviously comrades who cooperate with each other in the dungeon, but after leaving the dungeon, they may fight each other to the death at any time due to various reasons such as their beliefs and ideals, and If they don't die, they can continue to cooperate next time they enter the dungeon.

In order to ensure that such a twisted team could survive, they used various cursed obsessions and contractual obsessions to intimidate and exploit each other, forming a team that hated each other, betrayed each other, loved each other, collaborated and trusted each other. team. The level of abstraction is astonishing. Probably only an extremely dangerous existence like the Red Moon level dungeon would allow these people to build such a weird team.

In any case, compared to the encounter with the enemy without any information in the first round, this time Gao Hai finally obtained information about these madmen and knew their situation. If he encounters them again, Gao Hai can be sure that he will not be killed inexplicably again.

"The dungeon has undergone huge distortions, and the previous exploration experience has been basically invalidated, and now there are a group of crazy players running in. Ha, to be honest, I don't know what to do in this situation, but you guys, really Don’t you feel any despair at all?”

Xiong Mi let out a long sigh at this time. She had always had no expression in front of Qianhua, Miko and Gotou Kazuri, and was as reliable as usual. But now that she and Gao Hai were alone, she finally showed a somewhat negative look.

In her opinion, this mission has been a complete failure so far.

Qihai and others were trapped in the patio area of ​​the main teaching building. Although according to Gao Hai, the connection there had not been broken, Xiong Mi estimated that the possibility of coming out safely there was low.

His deputy Kenmochi is dead, the red moon-level player Kenta Hayashibe of [Red Club] is dead, and Gao Hai's new lover Hayasaka Ai also died in the main teaching building. Three players, including two Red Moon-level players, all died in one building. Coupled with the terrifying number of monster students already gathered in the building, Xiong Mi didn't even dare to think about the main teaching building. To what extent are the demons dancing around now?

Even though this does not mean that Xiong Mi will accept her fate or stop resisting, by now Xiong Mi knows that this mission has completely failed. Now that there is only a group of defeated soldiers left, it is impossible for them to pass this dungeon, and because this dungeon mission does not have an unlimited time limit, they cannot even survive the time to escape from the dungeon. In other words, all of them will definitely die in this place.

That Gotou Ichiri was a bit stupid and probably didn't think of this, but Nanami Aoyama and Ren Nanagawa, the two Red Moon-level players, would definitely figure this out. When that time comes, Xiong Mi estimates that the team on that side will collapse. After all, there are not many people like her who are unwilling to surrender at this second even if they die in the next second.

But at the same time, Xiong Mi knew very well that it was impossible for Gao Hai not to understand this matter.

This man who had fought alongside her in Touka Middle School, her de facto savior, was not stupid, and he knew exactly what the situation was. However, his emotional reaction was no different from before, and there was no problem at all.

It was obvious that he had reached a dead end step by step, with almost no chance to turn around, but this man still maintained a very casual and relaxed state. Xiong Mi even vaguely felt that the other party had become more open-minded and calm, as if...how to put it, as if he was actually ready to die, and even had some expectations, and some couldn't wait to die. .

Is this person already crazy?

Considering that she had faced various situations where her companions were going crazy, Xiong Mi looked at Gao Hai with a bit of scrutiny. She really suspected that Gao Hai had gone crazy at this moment, so she could Maintaining an optimistic attitude despite this desperate situation.

"Desperate?"

Gao Hai was stunned for a moment by Xiong Mi's question.

He quickly figured out what Xiong Mi meant, and also realized that his current attitude was actually somewhat wrong in the eyes of others.

However, he really couldn't feel hopeless.

The death of Hayasaka Ai could not stir up some waves in Gao Hai's heart, because he knew it was false. He knew that as long as he died once, the lovely girl who regarded him as his master would be resurrected, and she would Back to the stage when the dungeon just started, without any attrition.

Even if everyone on Zhenfei's side died, whether it was Nanami Aoyama and Ren Nanikawa who led the team, or Zhenfei and Kaguya, who were closely related to him. Even if they died tragically in front of Gao Hai, he would not have any fluctuations in this. At most, you may feel a little unbearable when the death process of the two girls is not peaceful, and you may feel that if there is a next time, it would be better to find a way to make them die faster.

After four dungeon explorations and more than ten deaths, Gao Hai now truly has no way to react emotionally to [death]. He will not have any fluctuations in the death of himself or others, but will pay attention to whether the death process is painful or not. This is the limit of what he can do.

After all, for him who has the ability to look back, death is just a false illusion, just a failure in the game, and just a button aliased as "Restart". Call it indifference or loss of humanity. Anyway, he has become like this, and unless he loses his memory, there is no possibility of returning to his previous state.

So he won't be able to despair about it, so he won't be able to despair about it anymore.

"Even if there is only a small chance, we can't give up. Moreover, in my opinion, it is still very early to reach a desperate situation. Don't worry, I will let everyone leave this dungeon alive, and I will also rescue all those trapped. Ah, of course, that’s assuming those people stuffed with dolls can actually be saved.”

But it was impossible for Gao Hai to say this.

Even when facing the true concubine, it was impossible for him to express such feelings. Maybe after seeing his son die enough times, he can talk to this girl, but for others, not yet.

So Gao Hai just grinned, made an optimistic expression, and encouraged Xiong Mi.

"...Really? Forget it, if you need anything from me, just tell me."

Xiong Mi nodded slightly, showing no special attitude towards Gao Hai.

"Of course, I can't get through it alone."

Gao Hai smiled and replied.

"..."

Xiong Mi didn't speak anymore. This experienced player could naturally see that Gao Hai was unwilling to tell the truth. At the same time, he could also hear that the seemingly empty promise on his lips was actually filled with strong confidence.

Obviously more than one teammate has definitely died, but this man is really confident that he can keep everyone alive...

Not crazy or anything...resurrection? Life giving? Going back in time? Or some other ability?

There are quite a lot of secrets in this kid, but it is precisely because of this that he can become that [miracle] and achieve what others cannot. However, with such ability, one will inevitably face the burden that comes with it. I hope this kid can hold on.

With just a few abnormalities in his performance, Xiong Mi could guess where Gao Hai's confidence lay, and also saw the hidden dangers behind this power.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. In short, a bunch of people are already targeting you. Although they are not in the campus now, it is estimated that they will take action soon and find a way to enter the campus to find you. You now what idea?"

Xiong Mi yawned and asked, changing the subject.

"Although I do think I am quite attractive, I still don't really want the attention from this kind of thing. So if I have the chance, of course I have to kill them all, so that I can be stable. By the way, It’s time to let others in. There is no need to avoid others when discussing combat issues.”

Gao Hai touched his face, with a very ordinary confidence in his voice.

Then, remembering that there were three girls guarding the door, he first confirmed the situation of Shimiko and Qianhua through the spiritual link, and then opened the door to let them in.

Goto Ichiri still looked timid, but Miko looked at Xiong Mi with some fear. She probably sensed something and knew what happened in the house. As for Qianhua's words, she seemed a little depressed. Considering her lively temperament, the previous process of carefully guarding the door without saying a word must have been a bit torturous for this girl.

"Then, let me tell you the information I got from my 'interrogation', and then let's discuss the next tactical arrangements."

Before the three people came in, Xiong Mi had burned off all the excess parts of the player, blocked the container containing the brain with his body, and then spoke seriously.

Everyone showed serious expressions at this moment, including Ichiri Goto himself, who temporarily put aside his social fear side and became focused.

Gu——～

But before that, some unharmonious sounds sounded from the three of them.

"Well, speaking of it, I have been consuming physical energy from the beginning of the dungeon to now, and I have used blessings several times, but I have not replenished my nutrition at all. How about we eat and talk?"

Gao Hai listened to the sound coming from his stomach, then looked at the blushing Mianzi and the slightly embarrassed Qianhua next to him, and then looked at Xiong Miyi who was not hungry because he had the blessing of the red moon level. The two people inside showed awkward but polite expressions.

Chapter 67: Time for flirting and time for rest and recovery

Pick up the smoking noodles with a fork and chew gently.

The crisp and delicious vegetables make a sound when crushed between teeth.

Lower your head, take another sip of the fragrant soup, and feel the taste unfold on the tip of your tongue.

Gao Hai took a long breath and sighed sincerely.

He felt that his soul had been purified at this moment, and the meaning of life had been sublimated at this moment. Through the bits and pieces that penetrated his taste buds, he seemed to see his troubled and happy life, and the future. The path to be taken.

Ah, maybe this is the truth of life.

After all, eating is our true first instinct to perpetuate ourselves.

so……

"Eating instant noodles won't cause so much drama, right?"

Xiong Mi finally couldn't help but complain.

"This is Tang Da Ren. This kind of high-end instant noodles cannot be taken too seriously. This thing is different from the low-end instant noodles like Master Kong and Qiao Noodle House that are usually just for trouble. People who choose to buy instant noodles like Tangda Ren do so sincerely for the taste of instant noodles, and this alone is enough to differentiate it from other instant noodles.”

Gao Hai, who was feeling deeply about life, shook the plastic fork in his hand and retorted very seriously.

"Hmm, the taste is indeed very special. This is the first time I have eaten something like this."

Chika Fujiwara on the side nodded and commented in a serious manner, but judging from her reaction, it was not that she thought the instant noodles were delicious, but just that she felt novel because she had never eaten such food before.

Yotsuya Miko didn't speak, she just ate the noodles quietly. It seemed that she didn't finish the food too fast, but the noodle bucket she was holding became lighter as quickly as possible. However, this may also be because she didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and Gao Hai and Qianhua would stop and shout a few words while eating, so it was a waste of time.

By the way, even Xiong Mi and Gotou Ichiri, who were not hungry, were eating noodles with Gao Hai and the others. Among them, Xiong Mi felt hungry because he and Gao Hai were eating and chatting and couldn't help but make a bowl of instant noodles. Goto Ichiri felt like everyone was eating instant noodles and it felt like not eating alone. I was ostracized, so I quickly ordered a bowl too.

In addition, the source of instant noodles is Xiong Mi herself. She brought various brands of instant noodles and instant rice through a space backpack, as well as self-heating hot pot and even snail noodles. Considering that the types of these things were too complete, Gao Hai suspected that this woman was actually a junk food lover.

"Then, what's the next step? Is it better to continue digging along the line of Eriko Asamoto? What's the first step?"

The topic returned to business, and Gao Hai asked while twiddling the noodles of seafood ramen.

"After all, this is the path with the most clues and the most abundant intelligence at present. Hey~ To obtain the key information related to Morihara Koji, we must find the abandoned neon army base in the forest. Considering the group of cultists She is still active outside, and it is getting closer to night. It can be said that there is basically no need to think about this road now... Don't think about it for the time being. She is still blocking her way. What about Doss’s core obsession? Don’t say whether we can successfully untie this obsession. If the interference is successful, your little girlfriend will soon be hunted down by another core obsession. Oh~”

Xiong Mi nodded seriously and analyzed the current situation very straightforwardly, while sipping the Korean spicy beef noodle soup in his hand.

"The biggest problem with the information about Ms. Eriko is the contradiction, right? According to the previous contact, she has a complete antenatal artery and is a living person. But the later investigation found more than one related information about Ms. Eriko, and these things have no relevant clues in the direct contact with the core obsession in the early stage. That is to say, the information we are investigating now is missing a link. How to fill this gap may be the key to solving the obsession. Ah, of course, there is also the identity of the [teacher]."

Fujiwara Chika, who participated in the discussion very naturally, was not at all shy. While talking about the contradictions in the information investigated by Gao Hai in the first and second rounds, she sipped the sour and spicy pork bone ramen.

"..."

Yotani Miko remained silent. She was still a little afraid of the elder sister, Kumami. Although her perception was far superior to that of everyone present, Miko herself was not good at thinking about how to solve problems such as core obsessions. Therefore, she was just listening to the audience and sipped the soup of the original Gu chicken soup ramen. Well, she was the fastest person to finish the noodles among all the people present. Now there was only soup left in the plastic bucket in her hand.

"..."

Goto Ichiri also remained silent. She was not good at thinking. In fact, she was still in a daze in the second round, and had no idea what was going on. Therefore, she listened to the communication between Gao Hai and others blankly, pretending to participate from time to time and nodding "hmm" to agree, while not forgetting to sip the miso ramen in her hand.

Anyway, at least the atmosphere at the moment was quite harmonious.

After experiencing the previous exploration, various dangers and fatigue in the process, the few people can now take a short break. Gao Hai was actually quite emotional about this. You know, in the first two areas of [School Tales], he was chased and killed like a dog, whether it was Fujika Middle School or Zaodashi Elementary School. It was too difficult to take a break. He could only sleep for a while in the bloody city after being killed to recover his energy.

Although the composite copy of Yeluoshan Middle School + Bydos Research Institute is a mess, and there is no way to crack it yet, at least the monsters here do follow the rules, and they can find time to rest and recover their energy and physical strength.

However, this may also be due to the KP with clown makeup behind the scenes?

Gao Hai couldn't help but think of the thing he saw in his dream.

KP, this group of inhuman things, suspected of transcending time, at least can be regarded as four-dimensional life, Gao Hai just doesn't quite understand what their position is, and what kind of relationship does this [Sacrifice Game] have with them.

[Writer] is undoubtedly a smart thing that cannot be played, but even such a rotten thing must abide by the rules, secretly guiding the original Neon military and researchers, making [School Tales] a restricted copy that is separated from the real world. And although the clearance conditions set by this thing are already very bad, this also proves that "KP must set clearance conditions for the copy" and that "core obsession must be able to be cracked" is a rule that KP must abide by.

If the player is looking for loopholes in the rules of the weird things and finding a way out, then these KPs seem to be abiding by the rules set by something at a higher level to guide the birth of one copy after another and witness the players cracking them.

Considering that the KP in Shirakawa Apartment misled Sanchez to kill the indigenous survivors in the apartment, it seems that it can be understood as the rule that [the copy can only be cracked by the player]. This feeling is just like the organizer who built the competition venue and worked hard to make the audience enjoy it. As for these players, they are probably the actors on the stage, just like the slaves facing the lions and tigers in the Colosseum, using their own blood to please something, right?

And... that clown KP said that time is running out.

No, not just him, [Faceless] also said that time is running out.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Gao Hai felt.

He could feel that there was something in front of him, a huge shadow that was invisible now and had completely covered him.

That thing would definitely appear in front of him, and when that thing appeared, it might be the time when he needed to make a choice for himself and the fate of the whole world.

Even with the existence of the black watch plug-in, Gao Hai still couldn't suppress the uneasiness in his heart. This feeling of being pressed step by step by something unknown, unable to escape, and having no choice but to face the other party, is really uncomfortable.

I don't want to be a great hero. Can't this kind of thing be handed over to a more glorious protagonist?

Gao Hai, who had finished his noodles and soup, threw the empty noodle bucket into the trash can on the side of the room, sighing inwardly.

The final result of the discussion was to explore the dormitory building again.

According to the information we have now, no matter whether Asamoto Eriko is a person or a group of people, the most important thing for this core obsession is still the mysterious [teacher]. Gao Hai is suspected of stealing her identity, and no key clues have been found so far. At present, it seems that there is a great possibility of finding clues related to the dormitory building.

Although the female ghost who jumped off the building is difficult to deal with, with the help of Goto Ichiri and Kuma Mi, maybe we can still find a way to restrict her. As long as the biggest threat wandering in the dormitory building is controlled, the difficulty of the investigation will be much smaller.

Of course, since it is mentioned that we need to deal with the female ghost who jumped off the building, it means that we have to investigate the dormitory building in the middle of the night.

After all, Gao Hai did not obtain any effective information during the daytime investigation. Combined with the day and night change mechanism of this copy, it is still necessary to explore at night.

There is still a reply from Zhenfei. Nanakawa Ren tried to get out of the skylight from the air with a paper man obsession, but the obsession got out of control and disappeared without a trace. Nanami Aoyama temporarily denied further digging or destroying the wall, and decided to build a tent in the dense bushes in the courtyard to try to isolate the students' sight and see if there would be any change.

Gao Hai estimated that this operation would not bring any effect.

However, Gao Hai exchanged another very important information with Zhenfei, that is, the [name] of the cultists.

Since entering this copy, everyone who quickly realized that [name] was important here deliberately did not call each other in communication, and even tried to avoid [referential] names, just to prevent the triggering of possible unknown mechanisms. But the cultists did not know this. They were in the forest area and had no contact with the rules table in the campus, so they still called each other by code names or names normally.

So Gao Hai told Zhenfei all the names of these people, and then through Nanami Aoyama, these names turned into lines of blood words floating in the air, drifting to the eyes of the group of weird students standing by the window and looking at the courtyard.

To be honest, Gao Hai was a little impatient in his heart, wanting to see what the group of cultists whose [names] were leaked to the monsters would face next.
