Chapter 2 Obtainable Territory: Mihua Town(1/2)
Edogawa Conan looked confused: "What? No way? Brother Shirakura, what's wrong with you??"
"I seem to be hallucinating..."
Edogawa Conan thought he was saying that everything they encountered now was like an illusion, and couldn't help but agree: "Yes, this doesn't look like something that would appear in the normal real world!"
Ah, that's not what I'm talking about.
Shirakura's eyes drifted as he looked, and he stopped trying to break Edogawa Conan's world view.
The interfaces he used when playing games in his previous life were all in front of him, and they seemed to be usable. Opening his fingers, Bai Cangwang felt that if he used the game skills like he just did, he might still be successful in reality.
The environment was not safe enough. Bai Cangwang only had time to briefly feel the skills of the game character he currently held and the game interface that could be operated independently. He had no time to see in detail whether there was any difference in the interface. There was another explosion sound outside, and he didn't
Know what happened.
The howling of the monster has disappeared. Looking out the window from the room, Bai Cangwang saw a lot of shaking figures. He couldn't tell whether they were guests who had escaped or some unidentified people. In short, there should be no one outside.
So safe.
I don’t know who is doing what, but there is an explosion... Shirakura Nozomi decided to take Edogawa Conan to find a way to escape first and check what is going on outside.
Because of the accident just now, the Bluetooth headset was no longer in my ears. It fell into the monster's belly, and then fell to the ground after the monster disappeared. Shiro Cangwang picked it up and hung it on his ear. Surprisingly, there was still sound inside.
Bai Cangwang took out his mobile phone in his pocket and took a look. Except for Satoru, who he called each other by name, the others who were in his team were all randomly matched teammates. After the accident on his side, no one
Exit the team voice channel.
"I'm now at the cafe in Miwa Town! The place has been cordoned off, and the police are dispersing the crowd. There is indeed a murder here. I heard that it was a random murderer who has not been caught recently.
People..." In the team channel, a strange teammate said, "There is a bomb inside, and someone has already taken care of it, and Wang will probably be rescued soon."
The feeling of being missed by strangers made Bai Cangwang feel soft inside. He said to the channel: "I'm fine for the time being, thank you."
Wu asked him: "Where are you?"
"I'm still in the cafe." The cafe shook violently in another shock. Shirakura picked up Edogawa Conan and said, "Let's get out of here first."
Edogawa Conan did not refuse. There was nothing left to explore in this room. Even the murder scene at the beginning had been completely destroyed. Although he was curious about the origin of these monsters, he was more concerned about it now.
How did he and Bai Cangwang return home safely?
He wrapped his hands tightly around Bai Cangwang's neck, ensuring not to interfere with Bai Cangwang's movements. At the same time, he calibrated the dial on his watch and said, "I'll help you look behind you, but you have to be careful, Brother Bai Cangwang."
"
Nodding, Bai Cangwang put away his mobile phone and said to the strange teammate through Bluetooth: "I am taking the neighbor's children with me. Do you think there are police outside?"
The unfamiliar teammate said: "Yes, a professional team has already entered!"
Bai Cangwang hugged Edogawa Conan and frowned.
"No, no one has come in here. There is a group of people outside... maybe not people. They are fighting. Have you seen this?"
The teammates' voices suddenly became panicked: "What kind of fight? No, order has been maintained outside, and some people have even been rescued from the coffee shop... Didn't you see this?"
The figures were intertwined with each other, their mouths opened wide as they gnawed at each other. Bai Cangwang couldn't see clearly, but he felt that something was not right. He first turned off his own voice so that the channel could not hear their conversation.
He lowered his head and asked the bespectacled Edogawa Conan: "What's over there?"
Edogawa Conan was suspiciously silent for two seconds: "Zombies?"
Bai Cangwang paused in his progress, and instead walked around the wall, followed the green belt and hid in the backyard of the cafe, secretly taking advantage of the gap to look at the road outside the cafe in front. Edogawa Conan clicked his glasses, and
Together he observed the outside environment.
This is incredible.
Where are the escaped guests outside? Although they are still wearing clothes, the ones scratching each other are all moving humanoid monsters with rotten faces and bloodstains all over their bodies. It is not sure whether they are human beings.
Corpses, because these humanoid monsters will have some strange parts growing on their bodies, or some parts of their bodies will undergo strange changes.
For example, Edogawa Conan saw a "person" looking at the sky with his mouth wide open through his glasses. His feet were not feet, but plant roots deeply rooted in the soil.
The world view was shocked again. Edogawa Conan swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Shirakura, is there a possibility that I am dreaming, or this is my hallucination."
It seemed like there were only two normal people left in this space, him and Edogawa Conan.
Edogawa Conan, who tried to use various theories to prove the magical reality, sought recognition from Shirakura Nozomi, but Shirakura Nozomi hesitated to speak and gave up thinking.
Shiracura Nozomi, who was reincarnated as a native of another world and grew up for 15 years, suddenly regained his memory and found that he was not only a reincarnated person, but also reincarnated with the game character skills and game system, he fell silent.
"Ah... um... how about treating this as a parallel world?"
"Don't be so perfunctory in your tone!" Edogawa Conan complained softly.
"I'm serious." Shirakura Nozomi leaned close to Edogawa Conan's ear and whispered softly, "Look carefully at the sky. Did you notice that the clouds are moving? This is not like the world we were in before, right?
There is a possibility that it is not our fault, but the world's fault."
Edogawa Conan: "..."
He wanted to both agree and complain, but in the end his attention fell on the sky mentioned by Bai Cangwang.
This was something that Edogawa Conan, who was in shock of having his world view shattered, did not observe it immediately. After Shirakura Momo prompted him, he looked up and found that the clouds in the sky did not move at all, and even the buildings in the distance did not move at all.
It's blurry. It's like reality and illusion are mixed together. It's another divided space, full of all kinds of fantasy and weirdness.
Bai Cangwang also just discovered it.
After being able to use the skills of the game character, due to the attributes of the character, he was more sensitive to light, and he realized that the light properties in the sky were not quite right. The light elements seemed to be blocked by an invisible film and were not really affected.
Shine on this land.
Therefore, Bai Cangwang boldly concluded that this is not the space they were in before, but it is very likely that it is a different space that has been divided.
【--Ding!】
Bai Cangwang's pupils were shocked and he looked at the pop-up mission interface.
[Hidden map boss: Rice Flower Town, kill to get the territory: Rice Flower Town.]
This is a guild mission. Bai Cangwang dug up memories that are as old as time. He still remembers that when building a guild, he had to kill the map boss of a town or village first...
So why can we play online games in reality?!
Bai Cangwang frantically poked at the system customer service, but unfortunately, the system reminded him that the network was disconnected and he could only play solo. He took the time to read the mission description and finally understood the current situation.
[The monsters that breed from the darkness are getting stronger and stronger. They are coming here along the opposite side of the world, eating away at the world step by step. This land is about to be polluted, and this is the sore it has carved out. 】
In other words, what he and Conan are encountering now is actually a part of the space separated by Yoneka Town. Only the first-stage monsters that were cleared out with the dispelling skills in the cafe just now are now newly refreshed in the second-stage.
The monsters that have invaded the entire map are the main attack force of this map, but in the end, only by killing Miwa Town, the boss of the map, can everything be restored to its original state.
But the entire space is a boss, right?
The reality became more magical. Bai Cangwang pressed the call button and said in the team channel: "Awu...you don't have to think about the interview. If things don't go well, just prepare to attend my funeral."
According to what the mission description says, if you can't defeat the boss, he will go to the sky with Miwa Town.
"Ha?! What did you say? I'm on my way here. Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you right away-"
Before he finished listening to Satoru's words, Shirokura Nozomi turned off the Bluetooth communication, hung the earphones to Edogawa Conan's ears, stuffed the phone into the child's pocket, squatted down and patted his head: "Conan, what's wrong with the sky is because of the sky.
It's fake. In fact, we are in a large game now. Everything is projected, so there are these weird things. Since we pursue excitement, we must pursue it to the end, right? Let's play a hide-and-seek game.
? Let’s see if you can hide well without being found by Brother Bai Cang. If you are still not found, I will give you a huge reward.”
Being coaxed like a child, Edogawa Conan was not happy at all.
Not to mention that this technique of coaxing children is so old-fashioned that no one wants it in a movie script.
"You don't want to get rid of me, do you?" Edogawa Conan squinted at him, "Let me know in advance that I will go wherever you go."
Bai Cangwang: "...Tsk."
I forgot that Edogawa Conan is very smart and cannot be deceived.
"You just said 'tsk', didn't you! You really want to get rid of me!" Edogawa Conan was furious, "If you want to go home, you have to go back together, you are not allowed to leave alone!"
The child's voice, even when angry, was tender and not intimidating. If it weren't for the danger in this area, Edogawa Conan would have wanted to stick an anesthesia needle in and knock Shirakura down.
Shirakura Nozomi also knew that Edogawa Conan was a very independent child. He reached out to cover Edogawa Conan's eyes and said, "Okay, Shirakura brother is going to play a hide-and-seek game with you. You have to close your eyes."
Close your eyes and count down, wait until I shout 'ok' before you can open your eyes, okay?"
These words were a bit confusing. Before Edogawa Conan could react for a moment, he felt Nozomi Shirakura put him on a chair in the backyard garden. He stretched out his hand and touched it. He didn't know where the quilt came from outside his glasses.
After posting a page of paper, Bai Cangwang had already walked out of the backyard when he heard the footsteps.
"I won't go far, and you won't come out from there either. This is the agreement between us."
The boy with white hair and golden eyes spoke softly. He usually seemed easy to bully and was always very gentle. His tone was even gentler when he specifically wanted to comfort a child. But before Edogawa Conan's eyes were covered,
Seeing the look in his eyes - the gentle and harmless golden eyes became extremely sharp, the cold air was overwhelming, and the sharp aura in his body was completely different from that of the soft young man, like snow blowing in a strong wind, cold and sharp
.
His heart was beating. Although there was no sound around him, Edogawa Conan felt that it was extremely noisy. It was because his heart was beating faster and faster.
In the distance, Bai Cangwang had walked out of the small garden in the backyard of the coffee shop and came to the side of the coffee shop, separated from the group of humanoid monsters in front of him.
Opening his fingers, Bai Cangwang took a deep breath and felt a familiar touch appear in his hands. He clasped his hands, and a thick gold-edged white holy book was held in his hands.
All of this is not imagination, it is reality. The fate of the past and present life is complicated, and as the memory wakes up, there is also this power that was not real in the first place. Just like the reincarnation of him, it is illusory but actually exists in reality, and it really appears.
To be continued...
