07. Realize the true truth of Bodhi, break the demon and return to the original god
【Dream Failure】
[Coming out of the dream...... You wake up slowly]
Makisu and See-Hashi return to their respective wooden houses. The familiar waves and noise come to your ears.
There was darkness in front of me, waiting for the system to settle.
【Settlement completed】
[Current difficulty: Nightmare]
[Currently on Nightmare difficulty, a special world view will be loaded]
[Hide Main Mission: Obedient.] Reward: 10 teeth (fail)]
What follows is a long period of darkness, as if to give the player enough time to ponder.
[You feel something passing by around you......]
[Gaze of the Unspeakable: Ignore]
[Gazes received on Nightmare difficulty and above will affect the attitude of certain characters towards you.] When the attention reaches a certain level, random events will occur. 】
Surprisingly, quest failures are still perceived by certain beings.
The checkout page ends, and the duo retreats back into the chat.
Transparent Bridge (all): I'm sorry, I'm ......
Finally escaping the nightmare, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. But her mind was disorganized, and she couldn't think properly.
There is an invisible horror to this game mode. No one wants to wake up while doing something: am I playing or is it reality?
It's definitely not going to be a good feeling.
Masu (all): It's nothing, it's impossible to clear the customs anyway.
Transparent Bridge (Whole): This quest ...... Violated Petra's edicts, right?
Mu Su (all): You've been subjected to an unwarranted disaster. How's that, was it killed?
Transparent Bridge (all): Hmm...... What does it mean to be innocent?
She wasn't embarrassed to say she was suicidal.
Masu (all): It's literal.
Mu Su didn't seem to have the intention of explaining too much, and Transparent Bridge couldn't concentrate on thinking about what it meant literally, so he simply gave up and asked instead, "What about you?" What have you experienced? ”
She wondered how Mu Su had survived the diary.
Mu Su (all): Because I didn't want to hire assistants, I went to the basement to find a desk and chair for office, and then I walked the stairs for a long time, and when I came out, I came to a beach, and the voice told me to go to the wooden house. Then an ugly monster chiseled through my door, dug a hole and made me fall into a trap, and tried to insult me, and I resisted in every way to subdue it, and the voice made me go to sea again, and it was gone.
Mu Su is not very good at narrating.
And he was also embarrassed to say that he had fallen into a trap he dug himself.
Transparent Bridge was stunned, and replied for a long time: "Why are you different from me?" Mine is ......"
She described it briefly, not wanting to recall too much.
Transparent Bridge (all): ...... I'm going to give feedback to the game company later.
Masu (all): We're different!
Transparent Bridge didn't know what to reply to Mu Su, so he had to change the topic: "Speaking of which, why did you say before that this copy could not be cleared?" ”
Matsu (all): Didn't you notice? It has been leading us into more dangerous situations, forcing us to choose no longer to listen to the whisper's commands, or to obey it and die.
Transparent Bridge (all): What if we refuse?
"That's better, the main task is to ask us to be obedient. If we refuse, we will be judged as a failure. ”
Transparent Bridge was about to think down along what Mu Su said, and suddenly he was stunned, how could he feel that Mu Su was not quite right.
The chat content presented in the form of text makes De Musu look far more serious than before.
Transparent Bridge (all): Probably understood...... Sure enough, none of the nightmares and dreams are tricky. There is also a question, the background of this dream...... What is it?
She was still haunted, desperate to know why she had gone through this.
Masu (all): The, Deep, Dark, Fantasy.
A deep, dark fantasy...... Transparent Bridge groaned in his heart.
Transparent Bridge (all): I guess I understand. When I have time, I'll look at the 21st century classics. But you...... Why do you know this?
It seems to have something to do with the dungeon, and Transparent Bridge feels like he's becoming a little suspicious.
Matsu (all): Hmph...... The wisdom of mortals, the inferior nature of human beings. Since you have asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy -
Sure enough, nothing has changed.
Transparent Bridge chuckled, and replied without waiting for Mu Su to finish: "I'm a little tired, so let's do this first, let's get down." ”
Her mood was a little sluggish, and she chose to go offline after speaking. She sends a letter to the game company explaining what happened to her in the dream.
Until the incident is properly explained, she will not be logging into the game for a while.
Mu Su also exited the chat room, and while lying on the wooden bed, he glanced out the window and chose to go offline.
……
Makisu removes the game mask.
It was as if real starlight poured in from the window.
Opening a detective agency Mu Su is not just a casual play, he is very serious about playing.
If you are serious, you can't just fool around. Mu Su stood beside the bed, crossed his waist and looked into the room.
The bedroom is not small. There's a lot of room to spare behind a queen bed, and it's more than enough to put down a set of desks and chairs.
But the question is -
Mu Su scratched his head and shifted his gaze to the big bed.
If you use a room as a detective agency, wouldn't it look unprofessional to put a bed.
Although Mu Su likes big beds very much, he also likes to put them in a big bed, or lie down on them when they are hard. But for the sake of career development, he resolutely decided to change to a small bed.
In the middle of the night, this thing ran to knock on the door of the old couple's room without the slightest sense of public morality, and after explaining his intentions, the old couple expressed their support for his behavior, after all, this can also make this place a little more lively. There may be a single bed in the basement, which can be changed tomorrow morning. Just the desk and chair can't do anything.
As I said before, Mu Su existed as an acute child who put on his pants halfway through, where to wait for tomorrow morning, asked the location from the old couple, and ran to the basement by himself - and finally came back empty-handed.
He suddenly felt that it was convenient for the bed to be bigger.
History is always strikingly similar, but there will always be differences.
……
The transparent bridge took off the mask, and the delicate face had a haggard and pale face that could not be concealed.
Short black hair was messy and scattered in front of the forehead.
She stared at the ceiling in a daze, and let out a long sigh of relief. Then I didn't know what to think, and my expression froze.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the table across the bed.
I saw the original empty table......
Still empty.
Oh come on, you're not really stupid enough to think you have a diary on your desk.
——
*Decree of Petra: A federal decree issued in 2214. It is strictly forbidden for virtual reality games to have content that confuses the game with reality.
*The decree was originally established in 2213 as a third-generation game called Between Fiction and Reality. The game element is to allow the player to interact between the game and reality. A woman named Petra Owen began to struggle to tell the difference between the two after five days of playing, so much so that she opened the hatch and was sucked into space during a mission.
*A total of eighteen citizens, including Petra Owen, were killed or injured because they were unable to distinguish reality while playing the game.
