Nightmare Lord's virtual game

"Aa ...

The forest stopped here, and the view was instantly widened. Shesta walked to a shallow beach with rocks and stones. There was a flashlight on the ground on the opposite bank.

But there was no one. Shesta called a few times, but no one responded. After hesitating for a while, Shesta walked into the stream, and her shoes and socks were immediately soaked by the cold stream water.

"I can even feel the height of the water... Is this the virtual world... It's worth spending more than 100,000 to buy it... Oh, it's dangerous--"

While walking, the stream suddenly flooded over the knees. Fortunately, Shesta's reaction speed and sense of balance successfully saved the day.

The flow rate of the stream was faster than expected. If the soles of the feet slipped, they would definitely lose balance-this stream was actually full of dangers, but at this time Shesta had come to the center of the stream and had no way to retreat.

Once again marveled at the powerful virtual technology of the nightmare world. In order to avoid being washed away by the stream, Shesta held on to the rocks in the stream and carefully explored the way with her toes, and finally reached the other side.

Accompanied by the sound of wet footsteps, Shesta found the light source.

A flashlight, much larger than the small flashlight in Shesta's hand.

Once again getting a light source in the dark and silent forest, it should have been a happy thing, but Shesta frowned.

-There is a narrow shallow beach under her feet and a steep cliff in front of her. No matter how she looks at it, there is no human breath. What is going on?

Judging from the bright light of the flashlight, the battery should still be sufficient.

The flashlight has been in the owner's hand until tonight, or until just now, right?

If it was placed here during the day or last night, it must have run out of power.

But where is its owner?

The most important thing is that just before, Shesta had seen a light source in the distance. Although it was not clear at that time, it was most likely the light from this flashlight - the flickering light.

That is to say, just before, someone was using this flashlight...

Could it be that, like me, someone got lost in the forest and encounteredIt's difficult, for example, it was washed away by the stream or something...

This is indeed very likely.

However, the flashlight was artificially sandwiched between two rocks like a fixed light source.

...No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it was lost accidentally. It should be said that the fact that the light source was lost late at night is itself very unusual.

"So suspicious."

The detective's intuition told her that this was very suspicious, maybe... there was danger!

The myth challenge is a detective challenge. Detectives usually investigate cases, and the most common one is naturally murder cases...

For example, there is a murderer in this forest, who was committing a crime just now, heard her screams just now, used the light as bait, and hid in a blind spot to attack her...

Wait, blind spot?

Shesta immediately raised her head.

"Good evening?"

Shesta heard a human voice as soon as she raised her head.

Above her head was a cliff made of rocks, and a face suddenly stretched out from the edge of the cliff.

"Good evening?"

"Ah--it's a human! I'm so scared!"

"..."

Shesta felt that her lines were stolen!

"Sorry, can you pick it up for me?"

A female voice.

Shesta roughly understood the current situation.

"Did you drop it?"

Shesta picked up the flashlight and slowly turned it to the top of her head. A figure covered her eyes with her hands.

"Ouch~"

A cute exclamation came from above.

A young girl, and very cute.

"It's so dazzling."

"Ah...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"I'm so scared, don't shine it on my face suddenly."

"Actually, I'm lost now...Do you know how to get to the nearby village?" Shesta asked.

"If that's the case, you're completely lost." The girl said.

She was indeed completely lost. If she had known, she would have taken the bus directly to her destination... However, Shesta did not regret her choice.

Although Shesta is not a game fan, it does not mean that Shesta has never played a game. On the contrary, as a detective, Shesta knows how to make a game.

Generally speaking, games will run according to fixed procedures. For example, RPGs will be carried out according to the pre-set plot of the game. If the player tries methods outside the plot, that is, things that the system has not set, they will definitely fail. Generally speaking, they will be directly rejected by the system, and in worse cases, they will die.

Shesta did not follow the time set in the game. Generally speaking, such behavior will be rejected by the system, and she will finally take the bus back to her destination.

However, now Shesta has entered a dangerous forest and encountered an NPC in the game!

In other words, this is also set by the game.

...HideLine?

"Can you do me a favor? I want to find a place to rest."

"Sure, then let's go to my house?" the girl said directly.

"Huh?"

So, to Shesta's surprise, she came to the girl, Chie Serizawa's house, or to be more precise, an apartment.

It was dark, and the whole apartment could not be seen. Only a simple outer wall could be seen, which looked like a student dormitory.

Chie Serizawa's room was No. 202 on the second floor. When she walked up the rusty stairs, it started to rain outside. The rain was getting heavier.

It was late at night, heavy rain, and the branches that stretched into the corridor had almost no vision. She could not see anything except the fluorescent lights above her head and the door in front of her.

"To be honest, it feels very unreliable..." Shesta murmured.

To be honest, the detective's intuition made Shesta feel some danger, but this intuition made Shesta herself feel a little puzzled.

Because the other party was just an ordinary 21-year-old college student.

If the other party was a burly man, then Shesta would never go directly to his house - this would simply be a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

"Am I overthinking... No, this is a game..."
