After Binding to the Option Simulator, I Was Forced to Become a Phantom Thief

Bai Ye, a sophomore in high school, suddenly discovered that he could see things that others couldn't.

For example... some existences that have been floating around him, taking away the c...

Chapter 76 Water Color: In a horror movie, the one who is last is the one who disappears.

"Where on earth did Linglan go? She disappeared from my earphones just now. She didn't respond when I called her at first, and now she even dropped her earphones here..."

Youyu picked up the earphones. There were no signs of fighting on the earphones or around the scene. It was very likely that Linglan accidentally lost the earphones here.

"Is Sister Linglan such a forgetful person? We are in the Dionysus space, it shouldn't be possible..."

Shuise patted his head, which was a little swollen due to the ups and downs of emotions, and stared at the headphones belonging to Linglan on the ground, sincerely hoping that he was hallucinating.

"… Let's check the surroundings first. Maybe there are some clues around."

You Yu sighed and handed the headphones in his hand to Bai Ye, but the moment the latter took the headphones, the black and gold halo surrounding them spread out uncontrollably in an instant, fragments of golden light fell and flashed, fluorescent vines spread from above the headphones, and then scattered under the illumination of the halo, starting from the headphones in Bai Ye's hand, covering the entire interior of the stone house.

The passive ability of [Black Sun Righteous Man's Unwavering Heart] is taking effect, and some kind of soul tag ability on the headset, or soul particles, begins to disintegrate under the ability of "invalidation".

The green soul particle vines quickly spread throughout the stone house, and then quickly dispersed under the rotation of the halo, like a midnight dream, leaving no trace.

But the moment the green disappeared, the three of them noticed the terrible changes happening around them.

"Wait...is this still the stone house we just entered?"

Shuise's voice trembled even more: "These... red things, are they blood?"

You Yu frowned. He gathered the three people's oil lamps together to create a light source, then held it high up. With the fluorescent green soul particles dissipating in the air, it illuminated the entire stone house.

I saw... the floor of the stone house, which was a flat and smooth stone floor just now, was now covered with bloodstains.

Countless bloodstains were either spilled or splashed, covering the entire stone house. The bloodstains were dark in color and looked like they had been there for many years. Even the blood-covered stones below had lost many traces of time.

A glittering crystal fragment was quietly suspended in the center of the bloodstain in the entire room, flashing a translucent crystal white light. It was so holy that it didn't seem like something that should exist in this room at all.

"Crystal fragments."

You Yu took a deep breath and took out another crystal fragment from his pocket. The fragment was completely different in shape from the one in front of him. He explained, "This is the second crystal fragment. The first one was found in the crest of the giant feathered serpent when I slashed its eye with my sword."

Bai Ye looked at his team panel vigilantly, and the "Token Fragment (0/5)" on it had changed to "(2/5)".

There is no need for the DM system to lie on the team panel. It seems that You Yu and these crystal fragments in front of him are real, and...

"The collection criteria for the Token Fragments have also changed this time. It is no longer the same purification requirement as before."

Bai Ye stared at the two crystal fragments in You Yu's hands, which fit together perfectly in an instant after they met. The mechanism of the Dionysus space in the warm-up match had actually changed. It seemed that the DM system would do everything it could to cause trouble for the demon players.

The task has changed from purifying the fragments of the token at a fixed location to finding five fragments, piecing them together and then purifying them. It is hard to say who has the advantage.

"But I still have many questions that I can't figure out. Why was the token fragment left by Linglan covered by the power that was attached to Linglan's headphones just now, which is similar to some kind of soul tag ability? Why did Linglan disappear, leaving only her headphones here as a reminder..."

You Yu was a little dazed by everything in front of him. He couldn't understand why Linglan didn't tell them directly through the headset. What kind of situation would make such a powerful main attacker like Linglan have no chance to notify her teammates, and she could only remind her teammates the location of the token fragments in this way.

"The token fragment shouldn't be enough to make Lily of the Valley give up her headphones. I think she has something more she wants to tell us."

Bai Ye looked at the stone cottage and made a straightforward statement.

"You're right...Bai Ye, Squid, you...you guys come and look at this!"

Shuise's voice began to tremble again. He was closest to the door of the stone house and naturally was the only one who could clearly see the scenery outside.

You Yu and Bai Ye looked at each other, took a step forward, one on the left and one on the right, stood beside Shuise and looked outside the house. The moment they looked at the buildings outside the house, their pupils trembled slightly uncontrollably.

I saw the temple complex outside. The originally old buildings were all covered with various forms of blood. The strong smell of blood came from deep inside the temple complex, enveloping everyone's sense of smell like a demon.

Countless blood was wantonly splashed on the streets of this ancient temple, piling up one after another, and with the overlapping of blood and the passage of time, it turned into indelible traces.

The originally pale white mist seemed to be affected by some external factors and turned directly into a flowing strange green, making the entire temple complex even more eerie and terrifying.

In comparison, even the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in Huangquan Town can almost be described as gentle.

"Is this... the underworld?"

Mizuiro wished he could pass out right now, but he stubbornly maintained his consciousness because he was worried about Suzuran's current condition.

"It is indeed the underworld."

You Yu was only surprised for a moment when he saw it, but he quickly regained his composure when reasoning. As the liaison of the detective agency, he has the deepest relationship with the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau, and naturally he is the only one who can explain the situation in front of him.

"Mitklan is the underworld controlled by Mitlan, the god of the underworld who brings death in the legend of Ink City. It is said to have nine layers of land, which is the final destination of the soul. This mission requires us to find the door at the 'end'. It seems that the specific method is to move through the temple complex and find a way to cross several layers of the underworld to reach the ninth layer of the underworld."

You Yu took a deep breath. He still had no idea where Lily of the Valley had gone. The surrounding environment had also changed suddenly. But even so, there were no traces of anyone leaving the stone house on the bloodstains. It was as if Lily of the Valley had appeared out of thin air in the temple and then disappeared out of thin air.

"At least we can now be sure that the direction of Ink City is correct, but what awaits us there is not only the two Ten Commandments tokens, but also the demon apostles of Demon King Midlan who can already control the meteorites."

No matter how treacherous the DM system is, the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau also participated in the design of the Dionysus Space. No matter what, the Dionysus Space will definitely reflect the relevant information of the game space they are going to enter next and the information of the corresponding demon apostles.

"But there is one more thing that is crucial."

“Is this the second or sixth level of the underworld?”

Bai Ye looked at the thick green fog. According to the legend of Ink City, it was the seed that only appeared in the sixth layer of the underworld and extracted the memories of the dead.

"Obviously, it should be the sixth floor."

You Yu said it with absolute certainty, and the smile that always appeared on his face reappeared: "Because I just heard the revelation of fate again."

As soon as he discovered the changes in the outside world, he chose to use his good luck to sense the surrounding environment and search for clues. Unexpectedly, although he did not find any traces left by lily of the valley, he heard a few words left by fate.

[The sixth level of the underworld... This is your final destination. 】

"What does this mean? It's the end right after we got here? Isn't it going to be a demon king that will jump out soon?"

Shuise's face became even uglier. Since entering the game of the Reunion Season, the adventure intensity of the Squid Detective Agency has increased more than a little, and the opponents they face have been directly raised from the previous highest Demon God level to the Demon King level.

Even though he was just a demon king whose consciousness and body had turned to dry bones with only fragments left, it was enough to inspire fear in people.

What's more... he really doesn't want to...

Shuise's silver eyes turned and finally closed, hiding all the emotions in his eyes. When he opened them again, the frightening sharpness had completely disappeared, replaced by deep-rooted fear.

"That's not the case, but in the Dionysus space, this Mitklan should only have two layers. One is the Mitlan temple complex in the surface world that is hidden deep in the jungle of the Ink City and has long been lost and pursued by archaeologists of the Ink City. The second is the legendary God of Death Mitlan, which is also the ruling area of ​​the Demon King of Meteorite in the inner world... the real underworld."

You Yu noticed Shuise's strange emotions. Shuise has never had any resistance to these strange things. He understood and patted Shuise's shoulder to comfort him. Bai Ye, who was the most sensitive to emotions in the past, looked up thoughtfully, and after looking at Shuise, he took a step forward as if nothing had happened and patted Shuise's shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. After all, this is just the Dionysus space. Maybe we will have to face the real ninth-level Midland in reality."

Bai Ye's smile was more devilish than that of a devil. Shuise slapped his hand away with tears in her eyes: "Are you serious? Do you really want to comfort me or scare me to death?"

The boy with light blue hair completely lost his usual aristocratic airs and hunched over behind You Yu. His slightly curved cheeks looked very easy to pinch, which made Bai Ye have some thoughts.

Bai Ye stretched out his hand to pinch Shuise's cheek, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you are scared we can all walk in front of you, don't be nervous."

Shuise: ...Do you really not know that in horror movies, the last person to walk away is usually the first to disappear?
