Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Hot Spring Dungeon (2) ...

Players are grilling, phew, players are thinking.

From the beginning of the game to now, apart from those periodic monsters, the player has encountered a total of three BOSSes, namely the human trafficking organization BOSS, the port mafia BOSS and the big-eyed BOSS that they just experienced.

Among them, only the old man of the port mafia was captured by the player steadily, the boss of the human trafficking organization was snatched away by the hateful Xiao Yuan Xiaoye, and the big-eyed boss was just missed by the player.

How could this happen? What went wrong?

The player fell into deep thought.

"Boss, run!" Before the player could come to his senses, a bloody hand grabbed the player and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.

The player who felt like he was floating in the sky: "..."

"What happened, Redhead-kun?"

The player is worthy of being a player. He can quickly adjust his posture in the air, change several poses in a row, and even take beautiful photos.

"I don't know. I came to this place as soon as I entered the hot spring hotel." Oda Sakunosuke pulled his boss while moving around to hide. The bullets he carried had been used up in the journey just now.

"Then I was chased by the people behind me."

"Who's chasing you?" The player raised his head. There was nothing but a cloud of dust and scattered weapons. "Why can't I see anything?"

Could it be of the same nature as what I just encountered?

Didn't the chief see those who attacked him?

Oda Sakunosuke opened his eyes wide, his azure pupils shrinking slightly, but then he calmed down and said vaguely, "They are some people whose faces I can't see clearly. They are holding different weapons."

"My ability tells me that being touched by them would have a very negative impact, so I can only use weapons and the terrain to try to avoid them."

"I see." The player looked at the disheveled appearance of the red-haired NPC, took out an aloe vera bandage and wrapped it around his injured neck, at least managing to hold back the dangerous health bar.

"Those should also be hallucinations." The player made a judgment based on what Oda Sakunosuke said and his previous experiences.

"Hallucination? But why...?"

"Well, while Perfect is a precognitive ability, it still has a lot of limitations." The player changed into a detective suit and adjusted his black-framed glasses. "I really need to upgrade it."

"...Superpowers, can they be upgraded?"

"Hey, Red Hair, you have to trust your boss." The player patted him on the shoulder and smiled brightly. This kind of skill that is not specially marked can definitely be upgraded, but the player has not yet obtained the key props.

Players always have a way.

"But now, we have to find a way to get out. Here are the bullets."

"Oh..., thank you, Chief." Oda Sakunosuke took the bullet and loaded it. He looked at Kamikami Chiyo's empty hands with some concern. "What do you use, Chief?"

"Don't worry." The player chuckled and said excitedly, "I'll use this!"

Player: No time to be sad, now it's bombing time!

Looking at the heavy weapon in the leader's hand, Oda Sakunosuke said: "..."

I want to report someone for cheating, but they won't let me. How can dual pistols be as exciting as heavy weapons?!

He looked at the two guns in his hands, and a rare different emotion appeared in his calm eyes.

Ignoring the NPC's condemning gaze, the player blasted the place to pieces with a few shells. Suddenly, all the faceless humanoid creatures and strange-looking monsters were exposed under the absolute force.

The truth is only within the range of the cannon. This kind of crushing game is so cool!

This special heavy weapon is quite useless and is only effective against monsters around level 20. This is why players did not use this thing when they first fought the Big Eyeball BOSS.

But it is quite appropriate to put it here to clear monsters.

"Okay, Mr. Red Hair, can you still see the faceless man?" If so, the player can bombard him a few more times.

"No more." Looking at the broken pieces of weapons scattered on the ground, Oda Sakunosuke twitched his lips silently. The sorrow in his heart had long since disappeared because of the leader's incomprehensible actions.

What a pity.

The player smacked his lips in satisfaction, then turned around and ran forward, pulling the red-haired man.

"I see the familiar black hole! I'll count to 1, 2, 3, and we'll jump straight in. That's how I got here just now."

"3! Wuhu!"

Without giving Red Haired Man time to react, the player shouted Wuhu and the two of them disappeared from the spot.

Smart players already know that now is the time to gather the NPCs and attack the final boss together! Who will be next?

…

…

It's poor Koya Kohara.

The player and the red-haired man were stunned looking at the can of nutrient solution that had dozens of data cables connected to various precision instruments inserted into its body, and had to close its eyes in the water and could only breathe by relying on the supplied oxygen and nutrient solution.

"...It's a human experiment." Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help but touch the cold glass, anger hidden in his eyes. "This place will resurface everyone's deepest and most unspeakable memories."

It's really shameful!

"That eyeball is actually a peeping Tom." The player, not knowing how Oda Sakunosuke came to this conclusion, still chose to believe it.

Looking at the lifeless appearance of Chuuya Nakahara, players felt that his previous expression of being so angry that he jumped up and down was still more touching.

The player naturally decided to play with the orange-haired NPC for a while after the dungeon is over.

"Now..., it's time to rescue the princess!"

The sharp sound of the wind was the sound of a sword being swung. The player concentrated all his energy and opened a smooth hole under the glass that held the princess.

In an instant, countless muddy water gushed out, soaking the player and the red-haired man thoroughly, and they became two drowned rats in an instant.

Oda Sakunosuke pulled the nearby curtains, wrapped Nakahara Chuuya tightly, and carried him on his back. He stood far away and waited for the leader to take action.

The player naturally lived up to the NPC's high expectations. He picked up heavy weapons and attacked this sinful place, causing it to shake violently.

It really is an earth-shaking event!

"Hurry up! It seems like this place is going to collapse!" Oda Sakunosuke, who was dodging everywhere with Nakahara Chuuya on his back, felt helpless. Why did he feel that the leader had become reliable just now?

The leader is still a child after all.

Oda Sakunosuke, who was 19 years old and in the prime of his life, thought so.

"It's okay, it's okay. I've already seen the black hole. We can leave now. I'll save Princess Xiaoye!"

Guilty players quickly put away their heavy weapons and constructed shields to hold above their heads to protect the NPCs from falling rocks and debris.

Player: Take the blame and escape.jpg

A document suddenly appeared and hit the player's face.

"What is this...?" The player grabbed the paper and put it into his backpack.

The scene changed, and the player and the two NPCs moved to another place, right inside an ancient house.

"Standard Japanese courtyard style." The player looked around and was very curious. This kind of traditional architecture is quite rare in reality. He didn't expect that the game reproduced it so perfectly and looked super real.

"I never thought that the Great Teacher would be such a great teacher."

"Hmm... where is this?" A confused voice sounded, startling the birds around. "Wasn't I just...?"

"Awake, Princess Xiaoye?" The player raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Congratulations! You managed to sleep through the entire process and missed the glorious moment when I rescued the princess!"

"Shut up, seriously... it's only been a short time, how come I have another nickname?" Nakahara Chuuya, still a little weak, wisely lay on Oda Sakunosuke's back without moving. He had already anticipated what Kamikami Chiyo would do, so he didn't continue to pester her. "Also, where are we now?"

"Someone is coming." Nakahara Chuuya's problem was not solved. Oda Sakunosuke, who noticed the unnecessary movement, reacted quickly and immediately took the two of them to lie down under the bushes, holding their breath and waiting.

After a while, two more people appeared at the beginning of the path, one big and one small, both wearing finely crafted kimonos, with the same expression on their faces, extremely indifferent.

"What's wrong? Xiuzhi?" Seeing the child stop here, the man asked calmly.

"...No, nothing." The child's eyes were deep, and he answered in the same tone as his elders.

"Then let's go."

"yes."

The three of them didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the people walked away.

"That's Dazai Osamu?" Nakahara Chuuya was incredulous. "How did he become so small and change his name?"

"If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet," the player said solemnly. "As for the name, since you're already involved in the mafia, it's not too much to change it."

Also, Princess Xiaoye, you don’t look that old.

"What? Dazai Osamu is a mafia member?" Nakahara Chuuya's expression became even more incredulous.

Player: ...

Princess Xiaoye, you are so sweet.

I'm really being fooled by the black-haired bandage spirit.

"whispering sound."

Nakahara Chuuya obviously realized that he had been deceived by Dazai Osamu. He lay aside with a tense face and did not say a word.

The other protagonist being discussed, Osamu Dazai, was clearly aware that his consciousness was dormant, and there was no possibility of reversing this process for the time being.

Since arriving at this place, Dazai Osamu, who discovered something was wrong based on clues, was inevitably trapped in the past that he did not want to recall.

The family, gilded on the outside but rotten on the inside; the banquets where everyone wore ornate masks—all of them made him feel sick. Even more terrifying, he found that as these 'plots' unfolded, his time spent in lucidity became shorter and shorter. Perhaps before too long, his spirit would vanish here forever...

It's fine this way, just like that...disappear in this empty and hopeless world...

It’s just a pity…

He had also promised Odasaku to go eat crab meat together, and he hadn't seen the magical skin-beautifying hot spring yet...

A little, a little regretful...

"Master, I'm here to save you!"

The firm voice was like the man's sword, sharp and unstoppable.

Dazai Osamu's eyes suddenly widened, and he could see nothing but that beam of light.

"Are you... coming here to save me?"
