enter the game.
A pixel RPG style is coming.
The cheerful music, vivid pixel figures, and small villages full of fantasy all make people feel relaxed.
If he hadn't known that this game would kill people, Kiryu would have thought he was playing a retro-style RPG.
He tried to control the villain, but an NPC came forward to chat automatically.
"Are you a traveling guest?"
"Welcome to Baruna Village, press the B button to run."
Kiryu moved the little man, and he found that the little man looked somewhat similar to himself. Although it sounded strange to say that a pixel man looked similar to a living person, the intuitive feeling was that it was so weird.
Walk around along the trails.
There is a shop with a shield sign next to it.
He controls the villain to enter the store.
Shop owner: "Sorry, I'm off work."
Click again.
"Sorry, it's time to get off work."
It’s a repetition of meaningless conversations.
Leaving the shop and walking up, there is an iron fence. There is an NPC blocking the way at the door. The NPC who looks like an old man said: "Tonight is the full moon, and there will be a ceremony to present the doll to the god of spring water."
Click again.
"Tonight is the full moon, and there will be a ceremony to present the doll to the god of springs."
This is an NPC who only knows one line.
No matter how much Kiryu clicked and wandered, he could not find any new conversations.
It's a confusing and weird game.
"Does the game have to wait until night?"
Kiryu looked out the window. It was not dark yet, so it was not his style to just sit back and wait.
Rather than just wanting to solve the supernatural incident on his own, Kiryu is more willing to find help, whether it is calling the police in time or looking for experts in related professions.
Kirisaki Suimei, who often travels on business, is difficult to contact. Even his Oudou often can't get through to his phone. Kiryu is lucky enough to call Kirisaki Suimei's number.
Kirisaki Suimei listened to Kiryu's words: "A game where you will die in seven days? I have indeed heard that you have been entangled in that game?"
Kiryu: "That's right, so I wanted to ask if you have any clues over there."
"Hmm..." Kirizaki Suimei pondered: "Go to the Dashan Research Department of Nanto University. I have a friend in modern sociology who may be able to help you. I will also send him an email."
After hanging up the phone, about a minute later, Kirizaki Suimei sent an email with a private number.
Kiryu edited the information and asked tentatively.
He quickly received a response from the other party.
"It's not dark yet" Kiryu glanced outside: "Time is running out!"
Taking the subway to reach Nandu University, it took a long time to make inquiries while rushing, and the sky was already covered with a layer of darkness.
Nandu University, Department of Sociology, Dashan Research Laboratory.
Kiryu knocked on the door.
"Please come in~"
"Excuse me." After Kiryu entered the door, he found a man similar to Kirisaki Suimei, lowering his head and reading some information.
He should be the target Kiryu is looking for this time.
Faki Oyama, associate professor of modern sociology at Nanto University.
Should I be said to be someone worthy of dealing with Kirizaki Suimei?
He has a sloppy beard and messy hair that hasn't been cut in a long time. He has the smell of a "research scholar", but he is different from the decadent and handsome guy like Kirizaki Suimei.
Professor Oyama is wearing a white Polo shirt, a necklace that looks like he brought it back from a trip to a shrine around his neck, and a pen in his breast pocket.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Kiryu took the initiative and said, "I am the Kiryu Ichibo whom I called before."
"Find a chair to sit on first." Professor Dashan waved his hand casually.
Kiryu looked around, but found no place to sit. Every chair was piled with information.
"Ah, there seems to be no place to sit." Professor Dashan scratched his hair helplessly: "These are very critical materials, abstracts and the like, which are still being processed. In order not to disrupt their order, I can only I feel sorry for you, please stand for now, is that okay?"
Kiryu nodded.
"Okay, let's talk standing up," Professor Dashan said.
"I already know something about you, what game?"
"Well" Kiryu took out his phone and tried to open the nameless game. Every time he opened it, it would crash and he seemed unable to enter.
Professor Oyama took Kiryu's mobile phone: "I happened to be researching related information recently, especially the Internet, which allowed me to see the characteristics of supernatural stories, time period, and wide range. It is more terrifying than word of mouth. It should be It’s weird stories that have entered modernity.”
"A student in our school died mysteriously, did you know?" Professor Oyama opened the mailbox based on Kiryu's introduction and checked the mysterious garbled message. The file had expired.
"I heard that playing this game caused a mysterious death." Kiryu nodded: "It seems that there is some kind of curse, and you will die in seven days."
"Yeah" Professor Oyama handed the phone back to Kiryu: "I also sorted out the relevant information, wait, it doesn't seem to be here."
Professor Dashan said: "I'll get the information back. You wait here... By the way, don't touch the information!"
After repeated warnings, Professor Dashan opened the door and left.
"Ding dong"
Kiryu suddenly picked up his phone and found that the screen flickered and he automatically entered the nameless game.
Baruna Village, night, pitch black.
He controls the movement of a pixel character named "Kiryu First Class",
Compared with the joyful music during the day, the music at night is a bit weird, like the 8-bit music of Symphony of the Night under the Moon.
The whole village was deserted.
He controlled the villain to go up and found that the iron door that was originally impenetrable had been opened. And there are many little people standing in two rows.
Get close to the villain, click lightly, and find a dialogue from the NPC: "The doll to worship the God of Spring Water has been selected."
Go to the right and click on the other one.
"..."
Kiryu clicked on the NPCs one by one.
"It seems to be called... Dashan Faki"
Kiryu was stunned.
"Dashan Faki?"
If I remember correctly, Professor Dashan’s name is Dashan Faki, right?
Go to the top NPC and click lightly.
"You cannot participate in sacrifices without a torch."
"You cannot participate in sacrifices without a torch."
"You cannot participate in sacrifices without a torch."
Kiryu breathed out. He wanted to see where Professor Dashan was, but he was not familiar with Nandu University at all.
"Did Professor Dashan also play this game?"
Kiryu could only move the character and search in the game, but the store was closed.
You cannot participate in the sacrifice without a torch.
Finally, he found a ghost floating above a well, and after getting close, he got a torch.
"ah!!"
The scream called Kiryu back to his senses.
not good!
With a sudden thought, he quickly rushed out of the research room and saw a girl staggering and sitting on the ground.
"Where?" Kiryu asked.
The girl trembled and pointed to the information room ahead.
Kiryu took two quick steps forward and looked towards the open door of the information room.
The body of Professor Dashan Faki collapsed on the ground.
There were still a lot of water stains all over the body, water overflowed from the mouth and nose, and the whole body was swollen.
Kiryu took a deep breath and walked forward, gently touching Professor Oyama's mouth and nose.
No breathing.
I checked again and there was no heartbeat.
Really dead.
"Drown?"
"The name of the doll worshiped to the god of spring water is Oyama Haki?"
