In the cold night, the bus marked with "Route 375" on the front parked silently by the side of the road, only the air-cushion door slammed softly and swiveled to the right.
Lin You stuffed the card she had drawn out in advance into a card case and put it away, jumped down the last step in a few steps, and waved brightly to the driver in the driver's seat ahead. The latter shivered, glad that his mission was over here.
As soon as Geng Qinghe got out of the car, he quickly pressed the door closing button on his back, happy to find a place to cool off by himself.
"Ah ah ah," the former was almost pinched by the car door, "don't get angry—"
Fortunately, he dodged in time, and he took two steps forward, and then saw the bus behind him gradually fade away, and instead reappeared on the ghost card.
Geng Qinghe thought that walking in such a hurry must have caused a lot of psychological shadow.
...Forget it, his sister Youyou didn't do it once or twice. Thinking back to what he did back then, he has long been used to it.
They got off the car some distance away from the eastern barrier, which was naturally Lin You's idea—the whole city entered the night, and most of the human players temporarily hid in the barrier just in case. , but it does not rule out the possibility that the other party still assigns a few people to patrol around.
There was a lot of noise in the north, but Lin You still hoped that when he was close to the remaining two barriers, which were probably on guard, he could restrain his edge a little, so as not to overwhelm the enemy.
They had to walk the rest of the way by themselves, and it was much more convenient for two people to avoid the eyes and ears of the patrol than a huge bus.
Every time she passed a street light, Lin You held up the crude map, trying to figure out where they were now.
Geng Qinghe was not idle either, he ran from door to door into roadside shops, trying to find something useful with his ability. The light is so dim, it's not easy not to stumble and knock one piece inside.
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets back and forth, he really found something.
Cylindrical, smooth-topped—
"Sister You!" He yelled excitedly, "Sister You, I found the flashlight!"
Lin You heard the words and hurried over, and sure enough, she saw a cluster of lights shining between the dark shelves. The bright light of the flashlight pierced the darkness, but Geng Qinghe hurriedly turned it off again for fear of causing trouble.
The only flaw is that it is too conspicuous to walk on the street with a flashlight in the middle of the night. Lin You holds it to look at the map, and Geng Qinghe is on the side to block the light from time to time.
According to the picture, they were only two blocks away from the school. Lin You slid across the map with her fingertips, planning the next travel route in her mind, and was thinking about it, but was suddenly pulled by Geng Qinghe.
At the same time, she also heard that unnatural sound.
"...who?" she asked alertly.
"Ah, it's me."
The figure walking out of the shadows got closer, and he could see that it was a strange man. Seeing them, he just smiled, "I haven't seen you for so long, it seems that I have forgotten it?"
Lin You: "..."
Geng Qinghe: "... who are you?"
"Okay," Lin You elbowed him, "That one's surname is Gu."
Hearing this, the latter opened his mouth wide and pointed at Gu Heng, "You you you—"
This is really where to go!
"I think it's too much deception," Lin Youpi said with a smile, "I'm afraid that I will be recognized and chased and beaten."
Gu Heng sneered, but did not deny it.
"I saw you getting off that bus from a long distance."
He said, "I've heard about the situation over there, and there's something wrong."
It was his sister Youyou who was praised, and Geng Qinghe also felt honored, and immediately echoed: "That's needless to say!"
On the contrary, the person involved didn't think there was anything wrong. Just as Lin You waved his hand, Geng Qinghe suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, by the way," he asked a little curiously, "Where did you go last time, that book?"
Gu Heng said "ah".
"We should not be in the same building at the time."
He smiled, "I was waiting to find the key and went out. I only heard about her heroic deeds in the forum later. It's a coincidence that I ran into it this time."
Geng Qinghe couldn't help being speechless, but Lin You didn't relax her vigilance. She stared at Gu Heng, "You are from the ghost? Where's the evidence?"
The guy being questioned by her smiled, his fingers poked into the neckline, and what he drew out was a metal chain exactly like theirs.
No matter how good he is at deceiving, the token cannot be faked. After seeing the token in the opponent's hand, Lin You believed him at this time.
Gu Heng didn't think it was too offensive. In his opinion, this was a proof that his strength was valued. He tilted his head, raised his chin, and looked in the direction of two streets away as a gesture.
"I came over an hour ago," he said.
"A team of two, they appointed three groups of people to go around the outer circle of the barrier to check for any abnormalities, and—"
"And," a completely unfamiliar voice sounded suddenly, "They are right behind you."
... ? ! !
Geng Qinghe was startled, turned around and almost broke his neck.
The two players held the portable chandeliers, and their figures slowly appeared in the air. This was obviously the ability of one of them, and they stood in front of Lin You and the others, probably relying on the confidence given to them by the ability of the other.
"I guess," Gu Heng raised his eyebrows, "You didn't hear the first half of our conversation."
Otherwise, when he heard the phrase "heroic deeds", he should know who he was facing, and how could he have the courage to come out and arrest people so recklessly.
"You, what do you mean?" The leader couldn't help but panicked, looking at his companion, "Old Song—"
The "Old Song" in his mouth has froze.
A pair of soft and boneless arms wrapped around Lao Song's neck from behind, and he was surprised to find that he could not resist the opponent's movements at all. He had no choice but to let the girl stand on tiptoe, wrap her arms around his shoulders, and then lean her chin lightly on her shoulders.
He couldn't help holding his breath, lowered his eyes, and saw the tear mole under the girl's left eye.
She smiled bewitchingly, and slowly tightened her arms.
"Would you like it," she whispered beside her ear, her black shattered hair tickling his ear a little, "do something for me?"
The expression of Lao Song's teammates had long since changed from surprise to jealousy, and he stared at the two of them. Obviously, even if Tomie Kawakami hadn't done anything to him, he had already become her captive.
As soon as she let go of her commanding words, two human players with staring eyes rushed straight in, scrambling for fear that the other party would complete the task ahead of her to please her.
After their figures disappeared into the barrier, Tomie Kawakami slowly shaved his sideburns behind his ears. She turned around with a half-smile, "They said that not long ago, someone accidentally picked up a button that I didn't know what it was for, and I asked them to ask for it."
Lin You smiled and said, "That was really hard work."
The Chuankami Tomie split body bred with that tube of blood snorted proudly. She kept her neck up, wishing to look at people with her nostrils. It was a big concession to obey Lin You at this time.
But having said that, even if it wasn't an order from the other party, she might really do it—she has never hesitated to use various means to prove her charm, and deeply enjoys the happiness of the other party falling into the devil for herself .
They didn't wait for a few minutes at the entrance of the alley, when they saw that old Song came running out of breath, and desperately passed the thing he was holding forward as if asking for credit, wishing to stuff it into Fu Jiang's hand directly.
And his teammates hurriedly chased after him, trying to grab the button and hand it over to the beauty.
Was he a step too late? Lao Song hurried to Chuan Shangfu Jiang, but the other party was not in a hurry to pick him up.
"It's not exposed, is it?" She curled her long hair with her index finger.
"No!" Lao Song hurriedly shook his head, "They didn't take this thing too seriously, they all believed what I said."
Only then did Fu Jiang Shi Shiran take away the gadget he presented.
Now that the thing is in her hands, her beautiful phoenix eyes turned to the two of them, and these two guys are useless.
"Then," she smiled softly, "I'll trouble you to end yourselves."
The undisguised malice in the tone made Geng Qinghe tremble reflexively, but the reaction of the two people was as if they had received a great gift, and they responded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay!"
The two of them tugged at the red silk rope on their wrists without hesitation, pulling so forcefully that their fingers and wrists turned red, but they didn't seem to feel any pain at all.
At the moment when the red line was finally torn off, the two players who came back to their senses suddenly because they were on the verge of being out of the game showed astonishment on their faces - but it was too late.
"That button," Lin You smiled and reached out to Tomie Kawakami, who was playing with her spoils, "Can you give it to me?"
She asked in a nice voice, but it fueled the other party's arrogance for no reason.
"For you?" Fu Jiang sneered, "Why?"
Lin You: "Because I have a doctor here who has been particularly curious about your physique and wants to use you as an experimental subject, it is up to me to make it happen?"
Tomie Kawakami: "..."
Just now he was immersing himself in his own charm, but when he turned his head, he was deflated, and Fu Jiang's face turned blue and white. She stomped her foot angrily, recalling her previous experiences, and stared at Lin You with hatred and fear, but in the end she obediently handed over the button.
"You'd better not let me catch you."
These were the last words she squeezed between her teeth before disappearing in place.
Geng Qinghe was a little apprehensive, "Sister You..."
"If she can catch it, let her catch it." Lin You didn't take it seriously, "I'm not even afraid of Abel, how can I be afraid of her?"
She was holding this lightweight button, which was exactly the same in shape and size as the ones in the private hospital, only the color was different. The transparent window that popped up also told her that with just one touch, the enchantment covering not far away would disappear in an instant.
"The only problem," Gu Heng, who had been watching the drama silently, said at this moment, "How to control everyone after destroying the barrier."
He heard that the other party actually made a battle like the Hyakki Night Walk, but—
"If they run in all directions at the same time," he said, "a few will slip through."
It doesn't matter in front of it. At this point, the end is approaching, and the fewer players who miss it, the better.
"Don't worry about this."
Lin You smiled inexplicably, "I have an idea—although I don't know if it will succeed."
"I'll try it when my skill CD is refreshed, maybe I can really trap everyone."
Anyway, she is used to preparing a backhand, even if it can't be implemented, there are still a lot of monsters in the ghost card, ready to go at any time.
Inside the gymnasium.
The human players came up with a plan for the patrol team to work in two-hour shifts, but when the time came, there were only two people left to come back.
"Hey, have any of you seen Lao Song and the others?"
The team members who returned to the venue were all interrogated in this way, but they themselves couldn't explain why they came here - each of the three teams had its own area of responsibility, and who knew that they just disappeared without a sound.
"Don't tell me something happened..."
"Where can this go?"
"Didn't Lao Song and the others come back to get things?"
"That button..."
The last sentence was earth-shattering. The players who didn't pay much attention to it just now and thought they were temporarily out of contact also turned their heads and looked at the speaker for no reason.
"I don't know." The person who spoke was also confused. "He just said something, and then hurriedly took it and wanted to run outside. I didn't give it to me, it was him!"
The player who was pointed at was panicked, and was about to say something when he suddenly felt someone shaking his chair.
"Hey, just ask, why are you shaking my chair?!"
The girl behind him also looked blank, "Who shook your stool?!"
She herself lost her footing, and only then did she realize that the ground under her feet was shaking. Other players also discovered this, screaming one after another,
"Enchantment!" I don't know who saw it out of the window, "The enchantment is gone!"
One stone startled a thousand waves.
Now they all understood that it was an earthquake caused by the collapse of the barrier, and there were screams, but before the players figured out the consequences they were about to face, the scenery in front of them was completely different.
...
Dozens of people looked at the place they were in now in bewilderment. No matter how you looked at it, it was a central square located in an underground station.
On the wall not far away, there was a sign that was so weathered that the words could hardly be read clearly.
— Kisaragi Station.
Inside the secret door.
"This is it?" Lin You sat down on the chair.
"Yes, yes," the station manager who had to show up—One-legged Abor twitched his eyes and said with a smile, "It's here."
She does it very simply.
In the second after destroying the barrier, he tried to use the Kisaragi station scene card he had obtained before.
What she first thought of was actually the nature of Kisaragi Station itself—different dimension space and time difference. She thought that this might have a certain effect.
Unexpectedly, Kisaragi Station directly replaced that gymnasium. In this case, Lin You, who is the owner in a certain sense, simply came in together, and another card randomly drawn gave her an idea, and she decided on the spot. plan.
At the beginning, Meiji, the elder sister of the popular sisters, sat in the broadcasting room and watched them play the game of finding their bodies. Now it was the first time for Lin You to really walk in here, and she couldn't help but be speechless looking at the surveillance screens.
strangeness.
Looking at one of the many players, she thought.
Why is this person's face so blue and purple and swollen like this? Like being beaten up.
After thinking about it, she couldn't figure out what was going on, Lin You didn't care anymore, she found the control button under the old man's guidance.
The TV set that the one-legged old man had placed there in advance turned on, and on the screen, the mouth of the very representative puppet Billy opened and closed.
"Hello everyone."
In the broadcasting room, Jigsaw watched Lin You take over his role with a blank expression, and read out the doctored line with a smile.
"For the chance of winning, I want to play a game with you."
