【Name: Rabbit Statue】
[Type: props (copies cannot be taken out)]
[Effect: The holder can enter the time and space where Usagiami Town is through it]
[Note: This is a game played by many Hope Middle School students. The mission goal is to rescue ## (data deleted). Unfortunately, no one has cleared it so far]
On the rabbit stone sculpture in Reiko's hand, four lines of item descriptions were refreshed.
Zeiss glanced back and forth, lost in thought.
The "Rabbit God" should be the source of the divine power in this copy. Next, he might be able to meet the "Rabbit God" first to see if he can capture the divine power.
But how to transfer divine power? Sign a contract? Judging from the rules and the bloody food chain of the gods, he should be required to eat the Rabbit God, right?
As for Rabbit God Town, as the name suggests, it is the place where the Rabbit God lives, but what does it have to do with the games played by middle school students? Is Usagiami Town a location in the game?
Qiss couldn't make an accurate judgment for the moment, but he could still understand the word "rescue" in the note - this game requires players to rescue a certain existence, and many predecessors have failed.
Zeiss hated rescue missions as always, and the memories of "Double Happiness Town" were bad enough for him. He had already made up his mind to turn the rescue targets into corpses and take them away when he encountered such missions in the future.
But this dungeon is obviously not suitable for too violent cracking methods. First of all, the dungeon is positioned for solving puzzles, and most of his props have been blocked. The [Pocket Watch of Destiny] can at most save his life, even if he goes back many times. , he still can't beat God.
Secondly... he has only just found the clue to God. If he ends the copy too early, he may not have time to make further contact, which is equivalent to wasting this opportunity.
Qisi silently put away the blade subconsciously sandwiched between his two fingers, raised his right hand and pointed at the rabbit statue in Reiko's hand, showing a nervous expression: "Lingzi, this thing in your hand seems to be... the rabbit statue?"
He looked around and whispered mysteriously: "I seem to have heard a rumor that at the cost of one's life, the Rabbit God can fulfill the prayer's wish...
"So Reiko, do you want to invite the Rabbit God?"
"Please ask the Rabbit God?" Reiko's face was full of confusion, and her puzzled expression did not seem to be hypocritical. "I have never heard of this matter. How can I have a wish and sacrifice a person's life to achieve it?"
Qisi remembered that in the copy of "Colosseum", Chang Xu risked his life to kill him, and Chu Xun and Fan Zhanwei died for unknown reasons.
He curled his lips and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Reiko, I still think this statue is a bit weird. Can you let me take a closer look at it?"
Lingzi did not doubt that he was there and put the rabbit statue into Qisi's hands.
The moment his fingers came into contact, Qisi felt a cold breath penetrate into his skin through his fingertips and penetrate into every capillary.
Time stood still for an instant. Reiko's movements stopped at the moment when she handed the statue to the god. The air became thicker, and countless golden and red debris flowed around her body, rising to the top of her head and falling again like reverse rain. .
They were broken prayer tapes, and the writing on them was blurred by stains, making it difficult to identify the specific content.
A figure in white clothes quietly appeared in front of Qisi, erratic like a ghost.
Qisi saw that the man had a face exactly like his, with an indifferent expression.
"Welcome to experience the game "Escape from Rabbit God Town" made by me. The mission objectives are to be explored. Warm reminder: Be careful of rabbits." The man said calmly, opening his hands and making gestures.
The prayer tapes floating in front of you are intertwined with lines of text.
[Game name: "Escape from Rabbit God Town"]
[Mission goal:? ? ? 】
【Warm reminder: Beware of rabbits】
[Save point: None]
【Do you want to start the game? 】
There is actually a game nested inside the game copy. It looks like one of those gaming games on the market that can be archived and rolled back.
Ziss is in no rush to study the game.
He looked at the young man in front of him and asked: "Who are you?"
The young man who looked the same as him said numbly: "My name is 'Lu Ming', and I am another you."
Ziss smiled: "I don't think I would be such a boring and vulgar person who would sit here and wait for others to play with this kind of word game that can be rolled back."
The young man didn't seem to hear what he said and asked steadily: "Do you want to start the game?"
Qisi almost understood that this young man was different from the one he saw in the glazed tower in the copy of "Colosseum". He didn't have his memory and his personality was different. He just had his appearance.
It's like a poorly made puppet. It may exist just to conveniently illustrate that "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" is a game "Lu Ming" made for himself.
Zeiss looked around. Nearby, Reiko stood like a sculpture. The corridors, steps, and offices were filled with watery colors, as if they would melt at any moment.
He walked to the window sill and looked down. The students in school uniforms seemed to have been pressed on the freeze button. The running and jumping students were suspended half a centimeter above the ground, casting a cluster of small shadows.
He and the young man were the only ones able to move in the entire campus. The hand of the destiny pocket watch stopped at five o'clock in the evening. The dungeon process was stuck, and the NPCs were on standby.
The whole world seemed to be born because of him, waiting for him to make a choice.
Qiss walked back to the young man and asked: "Can I ask what the format of this game is?"
The young man replied expressionlessly: "You will enter the space of Usagiami Town and play the role of a person living in Usagigami Town. During the game, the outside world will stand still."
Zeiss asked again: "Can I answer 'no'?"
The young man nodded: "Okay."
It seems that this game called "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" is not compulsory to play.
If the player has no idea about clearing TE and cracking the world view, he can choose to give up the game directly, spend the next seven days carefully at Hope Middle School, and take the NE route to complete the game.
It's a pity that Ziss is not only ambitious for perfect clearance, but also very interested in the Rabbit God. No matter what the purpose is, he is destined to not be able to bypass this link.
He pondered for a moment, touched his chin, and said, "Let's start a game first."
All the surrounding prayer belts sank, and they were spread layer by layer on the ground. The flowing words in gold and red floated:
[Escape from Usagi Kamachi Episode 1, Begins]
Qisi felt dizzy for a while, and the scene in front of him was blurred inch by inch, like a water dish of mixed colors, colorful.
In the haze, someone was whispering a strange song: "On August 7, there will be a fireworks display, and the ghosts of the first seven will return..."
The murmur was sad and gentle, like a complaint, but it was quickly obscured by the noisy voices, leaving only a noisy murmur in the ears. Zeiss saw two interfaces hanging high in the upper left corner of his vision.
The newly appeared interface is located at the bottom. It is a small golden box with information such as [One Week], [Warm Tips], [Archive], [Load] and other information written in red on it. The [Task Target] column is blank. .
Two lines of text slowly refreshed on the original system interface:
[The main mission has been triggered]
[Main mission: Participate in the fireworks festival seven days later]
Seven days, another seven days.
There are seven days between August 1st and August 7th. Reiko’s note said that she only has seven days left...
Come to think of it, "seven days" is not only the time limit for the copy, but also a countdown to a major event that is about to happen.
It is not yet known what the mission goal of "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" is, but if he is required to escape as the title of the game requires, then it is undoubtedly contrary to the main mission.
Unless he leaves immediately after attending the fireworks festival on the seventh day.
But after participating in the fireworks festival, is it really possible to leave?
Qisi's right hand tightly grasped the rabbit statue that Reiko gave him. I don't know if it was an illusion. After entering the game, the color of the statue became much brighter, with black, white and red colors clearly visible, and even black clothes could be seen. Gilt arabesques.
Qisi put the statue into his arms, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, finally getting out of his dizzy state.
In front of you is a lively market street, with men and women in kimono walking up and down the street. Red or white lanterns are hung in front of the shops on both sides, and the tassels hanging from them are fluttering in the wind.
Between the shops, rows of red silk threads form a light network across the street, with dense red silk hung on it, with golden words written in various colors on the red silk.
Judging from the format, it was the same prayer ribbons that Zeiss had fluttered between heaven and earth before entering Usagi-gami Town, but they had not yet been depreciated.
This place is undoubtedly closer to the CG at the beginning of the dungeon than Hope Middle School. They are all in the Japanese style, and they all reveal a strange mixture of gods, ghosts and humans...
Qisi stood in the middle of the street, wearing a long dark red kimono, with wide cuffs embroidered with blue and black cloud and crane patterns, and the falling golden tassels swaying.
Next to her is a girl wearing a red and white kimono. The red front is decorated with golden butterflies, which makes her skin white and bright.
She looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old, with a beautiful face and delicate facial features.
A very familiar face. Although the dress and temperament are completely different, it can still be seen that this girl is Reiko, the little corpse in the pit, and a classmate of the third grade (10) of Hope Middle School...
The system prompt appeared, and Qisi knew that she was also called "Lingzi", with the same character and the same name.
Lu Ming put Lingzi into the game he made, and arranged a death ending for her where she was buried in the soil and turned into a rabbit. I don’t know what his psychology was...
Qisi opened his mouth to speak, but found that he could not make a sound. The "speak" function seemed to be disabled, and he could only passively watch the game CG.
At this moment, Reiko was still alive and well, behaving like everyone else, and didn't notice anything strange about Qiss at all.
She looked around curiously and sighed: "This year's fireworks display will definitely be very lively!"
Judging from her expression and listening to her tone, she seems to be very familiar with the character Zis is playing now, at least as a companion who often plays together.
Just like Lingzi and Lu Ming in Hope Middle School.
Qisi heard his character take over: "There are still seven days until the fireworks festival, how did Reiko know it would be lively?"
"Xiaoqi, have you forgotten? The Rabbit God will come this year, and everyone will come to participate in the fireworks display!" Reiko said with a smile, "Of course it will be lively when there are more people!"
People were coming and going around him, and the fragrance mixed with sweat made him a bit drunk. The pedestrians soaked in it all had cheerful smiles on their faces, and they were confused and confused.
Chiss suddenly realized that he could speak out.
He lowered his voice and said tentatively: "Lingzi, can you tell me something related to the Rabbit God?"
Reiko stopped and looked into his eyes seriously: "All of us here know the legend of Lord Rabbit God. Xiao Qi, you are the best among us in telling it, why do you still need me to tell it to you?"
Her tone was gentle and her smile was sweet, but Chiss smelled danger in her.
He is now playing "Xiao Qi" and cannot let the NPC see the abnormality, otherwise the game may fail.
There are more and more people on the street. Although it is not crowded, the market is still crowded, and a few comments float from time to time.
"I heard that Kanna-sama is very seriously ill and I'm afraid he won't survive this August..."
"Don't talk nonsense... Alas, it's rare to see such a kind and kind family leader as Kanna-sama. How could he get such a disease?"
"Let's organize this year's fireworks display well, pray for Lord Kanna, and hope that Lord Rabbit God will bless you!"
Ziss could clearly hear the comments of passers-by. Those voices seemed to be part of the background information of this game and needed to be known by the "players".
He seemed to be really playing a word game. Gray dialog boxes kept popping up in front of him, with lines from the game characters written in white text.
"Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you? You look very different today." Reiko in front of her was still staring at Qisi with a smile, her lips became more and more protruding, and dense rabbit fur oozed from her cheeks.
Her eyes were soaked in red and dripping with blood. Her hands with sharp nails put on Qisi's shoulders, sending cold wetness through the material of her clothes.
Qisi stared at the game panel of "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" for a long time, but couldn't find the option to "Exit Game", and the word "Load File" was also gray.
With no other option, he directly pulled out the blade from the special bracelet and quickly slashed the girl's neck.
Blood flowers bloomed on the fair skin, and the rabbit fur on the girl's face retracted from the skin. The world was suddenly covered in gray, giving it the texture of an old black-and-white photo.
Lines of white characters were written in handwriting in the void in front of me:
[The end of the first episode of "Escape from Usagi Kamachi"]
[Achieve the ending ① The evil ghost who committed murder]
[As a partner of evil spirits, you showed your flaws while visiting the market, and you happened to be discovered by Reiko who was traveling with you. In order to continue hiding, you brutally killed Reiko regardless of their friendship.
[There is no escape from your crimes during the day. The passers-by who witnessed your murder took you to the Rabbit Temple. The head of the family killed your relatives and gave you a fair trial in front of the Rabbit God.
[You are imprisoned in the prison behind the Rabbit Temple and will be executed after the fireworks festival. No, there may be no "after", but there is no way to change the outcome of your death.
【You can never escape...】
