Chapter 124: The changing strategy and secret instigation

Up to now, most of the past about Yeluoshan Middle School and Bydos Research Institute has been revealed.

The clues are pieced together step by step, and the fog of unknown gradually dissipates.

At this point, Gao Hai truly felt confident in successfully cracking this copy. Of course, the things at hand still have to be completed properly. Whether it is collecting cat corpses and continuing to investigate [Kouji Morihara]'s obsession, or entering the deepest part of the underground base and obtaining mirror fragments. These two prerequisite events that must be completed before the obsession can be solved must be done well.

In addition, it seems that it is of little significance for Fujiwara Chika's group to continue the investigation. After working on it for a long time, the main campus of Yeluoshan Middle School was essentially nothing more than a smoke bomb. We had not seen enough things before deeply merging with [The Void], so for the sake of safety, Qianhua continued to investigate. But now that it has been determined that the strange things in the campus cannot be pointed to the source, it is better to let Qianhua and the others withdraw.

Well, let Qianhua and the others join Hayasaka's group, it will be safer this way. After all, the fact that Qianhua went to take a nap for no reason made Gao Hai a little uneasy. He felt that he had to interrupt the other party's actions. If he continued, he was worried whether Qianhua's group would be assimilated by the [atmosphere] of Yeluoshan Middle School. Lose.

Thinking this way, Gao Hai did not hesitate and immediately communicated with Fujiwara Chika through the spiritual link.

{Gao Hai: Qianhua, how is the situation over there now? }

{Fujiwara Chika: Second period, class is in progress. What's wrong, Ah Hai, did you encounter any problems over there? }

Listening to the voice coming from the spiritual link, um... no problem, her consciousness is still normal.

{Gao Hai: After class, leave the campus with your teammates and find Hayasaka Aoyama’s group to meet up. I got some important clues from the underground base. It is now basically certain that the monsters on the main campus have little to do with solving the core obsession. You can stop exploring over there. Next, we will use the underground base as the current most important clue. Important directions for exploration}

{Shijo Maifei: Haijun, are you and your aunt okay? }

Before Qianhua could answer, Concubine Zhen intervened. She was still a little worried about the situation on Gao Hai's side.

This is what happens when a private chat becomes a group chat, and everyone can hear what you say. Gao Hai felt that he had to find a way to improve this function in the future so that he could have one-to-one private chats, so as not to be overheard by others and lead to social death if he used the spiritual link to discuss some inappropriate topics.

Thinking like this, Gao Hai didn't have time to say anything, but Qianhua's answer stunned him.

{Fujiwara Chika: Hmm...I know, I can ask Gotou-san and Nanagawa-san to come over, but I’m afraid I can’t leave}

{Fujiwara Chika: When the first class was over, a school leader came to me. Well, it was the vice principal. He said he wanted me to speak as a student representative at the school-wide meeting tomorrow morning. I didn't refuse at the time, but now I find that I have some strange connection with this campus. Both Goto-san and Nanagawa-san tried to help me break this connection but failed. Nanagawa-san said that I might not be able to leave the campus in this state. My existence is now imprisoned here.}

Speaking at the whole school meeting tomorrow morning?

Student Representative? !

The unexpected answer made Gao Hai realize the problem.

It’s not like we haven’t reached the second day of the first program. Where did the whole school meeting come from on the second day of Yeluoshan Middle School? !

Has the future changed?

Why is this happening?

Is it because of what these players did that led to changes in the future? But for now, nothing they do will affect the operation of the main campus? If I have to say something that may have an impact...

Gao Hai realized the problem.

That's right, there is a place where you can use human thinking to affect all areas in the dungeon without being affected by or only a few rules.

[Gao Tianyuan], did those scum start to take revenge after being screwed by Gao Hai?

If they were acting, Chika Fujiwara would definitely not be the only one affected. In this way, Chika mentioned that Goto Ichiri's behavior was a bit abnormal. At that time, I thought that Porchi instinctively sensed that something had happened to Kita Ikuyo so he didn't say anything, but now it seems that maybe it is also [Takamagahara] People are doing something secretly.

Tsk, these bitches are really capable of sneaking in and stabbing someone secretly.

{Gao Hai: I may know what the problem is. I will explain to everyone later that this matter is probably related to [Gao Tianyuan]. As for now...are you sure you really can't break the contact? Where's Goto's guitar? Can't that obsession help you turn down that invitation? }

{Fujiwara Chika: No, Goto-kun tried to make up such a plot, but the individuals she created never acted successfully. How should I put it... It's like something is specifically preventing it. Every time those individuals are created, When you want to take action and do something, you will be blocked due to various accidents. Like being blocked by a student passing by, or being tripped inexplicably, in short there is no way to change it}

{Takahashi: Okay, then don't let your teammates leave. Under such circumstances, you can't stay alone on campus. Um... I'll ask again and think of a solution. You must protect yourself and communicate and cooperate with your teammates. Goto and Nanakawa are both Red Moon-level players. They have more experience and ability than you. Listen to them and don't mess around.}

{Fujiwara Chika: Well, don't worry, Ahai. Don't forget that I'm a game expert. This little trouble can't defeat me.}

Takahashi didn't know what else to say, so he could only ask as carefully as possible.

{Shijo Maki: Is there anything we can do? If it was [Takama-hara] who was secretly making trouble, I don't think those people would just target one of us. Well, those fanatics stopped after two tentative attacks before. Could it be that they had contact with [Takama-hara]? But it always feels a bit strange. According to your experience with those crazy people in Fujika Junior High School and Hayate Elementary School, their influence on the surface of the dungeon should be very low. Only when you go deep into the deep area of ​​the dungeon can you encounter them, right? }

Mahi quickly realized that the situation might be more complicated than expected. While continuing to talk to Takamiya Chika in the mental link, she began to remind Xiongmi and others who were in the lounge.

{Takamiya: Maybe they can't affect the surface area of ​​the dungeon, but if they do so, they will pay a price, and before that, they don't think it's necessary to do so. In this case... It seems that the field I released has caused them a lot of damage...Mahi, I will send you the blood key now, you will return to the campus and join Hayasaka Aoyama's group immediately. There is no need to stay in the forest area any longer}

{Shijo Mahi: What about you, Haijun? If we hadn't attracted the fire, these fanatics would have definitely entered the underground area.

{Takahashi: There's no need to worry about my situation. If someone really comes to the underground base to find me, I'm sure I can keep them all.}

{Shijo Maki: Okay, I understand. Be extra careful, Kai-kun. }

No nonsense.

No repeated questioning and inquiry.

Maki, who confirmed that Takahashi's decision was not a sudden inspiration, immediately began to execute it.

After confirming from Takahashi that he had been pulled into a certain spiritual realm by [Takama-ga-hara] before, and that Goto Ichiri and Fujiwara Chika in the main campus might have been secretly manipulated by [Takama-ga-hara], and that the fanatic group might have had contact with [Takama-ga-hara], Xiong Mi only thought for less than 1 minute and made preparations for a comprehensive transfer.

Afterwards, Takahashi transmitted the extremely rare space-type obsession object, the blood key, to Maki through the deep link of the black watch. Maki then used this key to open a door that had been removed in advance and hidden in the campus of Yeluoshan Middle School. In less than 5 minutes from the beginning of the discussion to the action, the second group of people who stayed in the forest area returned to the school area without a single one left.

However, this development did not ease Gao Hai's expression.

[Takamagahara] Ah, these things hiding behind the scenes, making trouble and shitting everywhere, I really didn't expect them to have an impact on the surface area of ​​the copy.

Although there is actually no direct evidence at present, it is very likely that Gao Hai overreacted and thought too much. But in a weird copy, and a red moon-level copy, Gao Hai always felt that it would be better to be startled and overreacted, rather than encountering a problem and not thinking about how to solve it and how to prevent it next time.

However, it's really troublesome...

After ending the communication, Gao Hai sighed for a long time.

"What happened?"

Kaguya, who had already put on her clothes and covered the kiss marks on her shoulders, noticed that Gao Hai's expression was a little wrong after the mental communication, so she came up and asked.

"Maybe someone is stabbing me in the back, or maybe I'm just overthinking it, but no matter what the situation is, it won't affect our next move. Get ready, it's time to start a fun collection game."

Grinning at his companions, Gao Hai took back the [Silent Doll], opened the door of the cabin, and cast his eyes on the dilapidated corridor under the dim light.

The senses that were stronger than before showed Gao Hai all kinds of things hidden in the darkness at this moment, and the complex and intertwined passages were also fully displayed in Gao Hai's perception at this moment.

He said that he was confident that he could keep any fanatics who came, and he was not kidding. Now, with the deep integration of the Red Moon-level core obsession [Nothingness], he already has more than 1000% combat power, and has truly gained a home advantage... Bah, how is it the same as setting a flag, this sentence doesn't count, doesn't count, anyway, I didn't say it, so it doesn't count.

Concentrating their thoughts, Gao Hai and Kaguya acted quickly.

At the same time, in the forest outside the Yeluoshan Middle School campus, a handsome young man stretched out his hand and opened the door of the [Lounge].

"Hey, have you slipped away?"

Reaching out and rubbing the bullet hole on his shoulder left by a pursuer, the man grinned, his expression suddenly became extremely distorted, and then quickly returned to normal.

"Then, Mr. Puside and Mr. Heathcote, the investigation of the underground military base will be handed over to the two of you. After all, the [Cursed Cat] was lost in the hands of you 'conservatives', so it is your responsibility to find it back."

"And Mr. Maseru, Mr. Zoma, please come with me, and with me, Miotiad, to take down the heads of Xiongmi and her colleagues from the [Slacking Gang], and use them as sacrificial vessels for the next sacrifice of our believers."

"Ah, the divine revelation we have longed for has finally arrived. Let's start our new era from here!"

Amid the calm voice, a large number of mutilated corpses have been piled up in the open space outside the abandoned dormitory building, gradually dissipating in the burning flames.

Those were the Dark Night-level players who entered the dungeon with these fanatic players and were preserved as consumables. Now, these middle-level believers who didn't even have a chance to appear on the stage have all been drained of their vitality and burned completely, so that they don't even have a chance to become strange.

Then, these believers who were no longer in the normal human category in terms of thinking disappeared one after another, hiding in the gradually dimming woods, and went in two different directions.

Chapter 125: Nanami Aoyama's thinking time and the attacking black shadow

Yotani Miko... is she dead after all?

Although she didn't want this to happen, Nanami Aoyama had to accept the fact that her teammates died in front of her eyes after confirming it again and again.

It happened very suddenly. Nanami Aoyama, who had been guarding Hayasaka and Miko who were sleeping on the ground, was waiting there, but suddenly Miko stopped breathing. The blessing of immortality was then quickly activated, causing Miko to enter the 10-minute immortal stage, but even so, she herself showed no signs of waking up.

This gave Nanami a bad premonition, so she began to try to wake the two people up. But whether it was shaking the body, making a loud noise, piercing the skin or applying pain, or using obsessions to stimulate their minds, it had no effect at all. Both Hayasaka and Miko remained in a deep sleep. Then, Miko stopped breathing and died on the spot after the 10-minute immortal time ended, while Hayasaka continued to sleep and still could not wake up.

It must be said that Nanami was actually a little angry at this time.

She was very opposed to the risky action, but the man named Gao Hai insisted on the decision to disperse the action, and the others followed him. Among them, letting Hayasaka and Miko, two new players who were not at the level of Red Moon players, explore the mysterious and unknown area of ​​the Bydos Research Institute was the most irrational and risky decision in Nanami's opinion. However, everyone still chose to pass this decision.

What was the result? One of the two girls was dead, completely dead. Obviously, she was a very potential player and a very good girl, but she died like cannon fodder. What is this? Does this man named Gao Hai really not care about the lives of his teammates? Or is he really able to rewind time at will, so he can remain indifferent and not care at all even if the closest person to him dies?

But yes, because he has the ability to rewind, such a development seems to be really careless. Anyway, the dead will come back to life again, and the torture and pain they have suffered will disappear. He just sacrificed a non-existent person, so it won’t hurt to die, right?

Although Nanami didn’t know what Gao Hai himself was thinking, for her, letting Miko and Hayasaka go deep into danger and causing the death of one of them, such a decision has made her begin to think that Gao Hai might be a bit cold-blooded. It’s just that it’s still in the stage of teamwork, so although Nanami is very unhappy in her heart, she still endures all her emotions. First, she informed Miko of her death through the communication obsession, and then quickly dealt with her body and burned it to avoid being possessed by the weird.

During this process, Nanami discovered that Chika and Shinki knew about Miko's death in advance. It seems that the special means that the people in Gao Hai's team have to communicate with each other may be of a higher level than she expected. However, neither Shinki nor Chika showed much emotional fluctuations about Miko's death, which was obviously inconsistent with the harmonious atmosphere in Gao Hai's team before, so it was further confirmed that Xiong Mi's guess about the ability to rewind was there.

As for Gao Hai herself, when Nanami was about to communicate with her, the other party did not answer the call at first (at the same time, Kaguya was comforting Gao Hai's emotions), and later answered the call only to say that he already knew about this matter. There was no emotion in her words, and even her tone was a little cold and indifferent (Nanami mentioned the problem of dealing with Miko's body), as if Miko's death was really unimportant, which made Nanami have more complicated emotions.

Does this man really just regard his teammates as tools, or has he lost his sense of death because of the rewind? Not only him, but also the girls around him are like this. Am I overreacting a little?

After thinking for a long time, Nanami calmed down a little and didn't continue to think about asking Gao Hai how he viewed the death of teammates. In fact, she also knew that after being involved in the world of [Sacrifice Game] and experiencing all kinds of torture and pain, her heart was actually somewhat distorted. Especially after the accident of her teammate Kita Ikuyo, who was taken care of by her like a sister, this distortion undoubtedly became greater.

She was more cautious and careful than before, and was more afraid of radical and adventurous actions, always thinking that she could just survive. This mentality made her more or less unsuitable to stay in the exploration team of Red Moon-level players. In fact, the reason why she and Goto Ichiri joined the [Market] with better safety guarantees was because of this.

If it weren't for Xiao Boqi's insistence on saving Xiao Ikuyo, I probably wouldn't enter the Red Moon-level dungeon again...

Thinking of this, Nanami's mood became more complicated.

In addition, perhaps because of the incident with Kita Ikuyo, Nanami realized that it was difficult for her to trust those unfamiliar players who were powerful but not well known, and she was easily suspicious of various trivial matters.

Calm down.

I still have to complete my duties during the mission exploration, and I can't waste my attention on such things.

Thinking of this, Nanami carefully checked the surrounding situation again, and after confirming that there was no strange creature approaching, she carefully confirmed the situation of Hayasaka. Then she suddenly received a message from Chika, and learned that Goto Ichiri might have encountered some problems, so she needed to contact Goto after the first afternoon class on campus to confirm her specific situation.

There were no unexpected situations in the contact process this time. Although Goto Ichiri was a little wrong when facing other people, because she trusted Nanami very much, and her mental state was not too bad, she quickly told Nanami that she heard someone talking to her during class and that she felt that Kita Ikuyo was completely dead.

Since she couldn't leave Hayasaka for a while, Nanami cut her wrist after a little consideration, and used her blood to make a palm-sized doll, letting it float to Goto Ichiri's side. This blood with the power of obsession was then swallowed by Goto Ichiri and entered her body, ensuring that if she lost control at a critical moment, she could be suppressed in the first time to prevent her from hurting others or herself.

Not long after, with the second class at the main campus, and then after class, another meeting was held in the communication. This time, Takahashi fully revealed the problem of [Takamagahara], explained various situations one by one, and confirmed the focus of the next action. After exchanging basic information and confirming that the various teams of the ground operation would be the first to converge, Takahashi contacted Nanami again in private, explaining to her the death of Kita Ikuyo and the situation that Goto Ichiri might encounter.

"Has the body been burned?"

"Yes, I have to do this when the vitality and soul have completely disappeared, otherwise there is a possibility of being possessed by a strange thing. I'm sorry. Anyway, the reason why that person (referring to Pochi) was found and the current problem occurred is probably that [Takamagahara] used this information to attack her and found a mental flaw, and imposed something like a curse on her. Be very careful next time, the means of those immortals who have lived for hundreds of years must be more than just this."

"I understand, please be more careful, that, that is to say, there was still hope (referring to Kita Ikuyo), right?"

"Even now, there is still hope. Although I don't know what news you have been told, I haven't concealed it much, I think you should understand. Anyway, everyone will go back intact, but please rest assured about this."

Since it has not been confirmed whether calling out names on campus will have any bad effects, even if using communication-type obsession objects, Nanami and Takami did not call out anyone's name, and just communicated briefly for a while.

Of course, the names of the fanatics hiding in the forest, here is still the same strategy as in the second round, the Qianhua team will try to chant the names of those guys in front of each weird student, and in order to ensure the effect, they will chant them through various means after each class.

At this moment, Gao Hai has confirmed that Xiong Mi will soon open the door with the blood key and transfer back to the campus. Since Hirano Sosuke, who has been chasing the fanatics in the woods, has not found the traces of the fanatics for a long time, Gao Hai and Xiong Mi both think that the group of lunatics have begun to change their strategy, so the most important thing is to reunite as soon as possible.

Not far from the hidden place set by Nanami, there is a door that has been removed in advance. It is thought that people from Xiong Mi will soon be teleported through this door.

While thinking about this, Nanami suddenly felt something strange and looked up at the sky.

It was dark.

The light from the gap in the woods gradually disappeared, and the whole forest began to gradually fall into darkness.

What happened? Something is wrong!

Nanami didn't hesitate and immediately used the communication obsession, but... it couldn't connect.

The photo obsession that could be used as a shelter was also in an unusable state. This feeling, is the space blocked?

In the dim forest, the door that was supposed to be a connecting passage had disappeared, and in its place were three figures in black robes standing not far away.

"God's guidance allows you and me to meet here. Hello, this beautiful lady. If possible, I hope to use the human skins of you and the girl behind you as a gift to Mr. Xiong Mi. Please also You must fulfill my trivial wish.”

A young man who seemed to be very delicate and gentle took a step forward and spoke sincerely to Nanami Aoyama, who was surrounded by blood lines.

Chapter 126: The development of the school area and the deepening of the underground area

"Block 17."

Picking up a broken piece of kitten and putting it into the space of the black watch, Gao Hai counted in a low voice, straightened up and looked at the still dimly lit road ahead.

"The number of these fragments is a bit too much."

Kaguya next to her was holding a lighting flashlight and couldn't help but whisper after Gao Hai picked up the fragments.

"You have to ask what the people who killed the cat thought at the time, hmm... But compared to how many fragments there are, I am actually more concerned about why these fragments became so scattered. It feels like these fragments were They were deliberately discarded in different places in this underground base, and they were made like this deliberately just to torment people. It seems that Morihara Koji may have been entangled with those students for quite some time before he got rid of the pursuit and finally escaped from the underground base. ”

Gao Hai shook his head slightly with helplessness and said that he could already imagine the scene at that time.

The big boy who liked kittens, after initially escaping from the chase, probably tried to go back to the place where the little cat was tortured and killed, hoping to take the cat's body back. And such behavior is likely to be noticed by the living students among the bullies. So they took away the cat body and deliberately scattered the fragmented kittens everywhere. In this way, it was more difficult for Morihara Koji to take out the body, and they used this as a means to play a game of "hide and seek" with him. .

As for why living students and monster students can form a bully group, this is a matter of the rules of Yeluoshan Middle School itself, and this is what this place is like. It would be better to say that Morihara Koji, a big boy, could still maintain normal thinking ability after entering Yeluoshan Middle School, and was not completely assimilated by this place. Moreover, he still had the ability to rescue those who were persecuted similar to him. This is the reason. An even more incredible and miraculous place.
