Chapter 31 Shuise: We are all here, so who is walking the ghost?

[The great DM system is here!] Let’s start a one-time live broadcast to predict the future. Can the blue players snatch the token from the red players this time? 】

Before Bai Ye could take his eyes off Shuise, a familiar electronic mechanical male voice came through the Dionysus space and reached everyone's ears.

Prophecy is a special setting of the Eden App live broadcast. The DM system and the host of the live broadcast room can choose to put forward a hypothesis at the appropriate time, such as: "Can this devil game be won?" "Can all the players of this devil game leave?", and the hypothesis has only two situations: "yes" and "no".

To participate in the prediction, the audience needs to pay the accumulated audience points in exchange for the length of time they watch the live broadcast. In the end, the audience whose guess is consistent with the actual result will be compensated with the audience points of the other party's guess. It is a small but interesting adjustment activity.

The more audience points there are, the more they can vote for their favorite players on the popularity list of the Eden App, allowing them to gain additional game points and have a sense of reality as they participate in the intense [Reunion].

In a sense, the DM system is really business-minded, and the rules it sets are a complete live broadcast platform system.

The black-haired boy looked up at his player panel and found that there was an extra box in the upper right corner, which contained the real-time comments of the viewers who were watching the live broadcast on the Eden App.

The DM system even takes into account the interaction rate between player anchors and viewers! So terrifying!

【? Damn, at the beginning, a demon-level devil is on his face, so this blue-haired guy can just stand there as if he knows nothing? Which city is this contestant from? 】

[Night City players, who is this nobleman? Who is this good guy who came to play in the warm-up match wearing a white suit, although it is a very casual and loose style... Wait, the musical note logo on his suit seems a little familiar? No way? ! 】

[This contestant named Shuise looks familiar to me... Is he the jewel merchant and the violinist apprentice of Bruce, the leader of the Muse Music Band? 】

[It seems like, when did he become a professional gamer? 】

[It seems that they are not professional players from the official Sun Bureau, but just a civilian detective agency, a neutral player organization. 】

[How dare I, a neutral player organization, come to participate in the reunion? ! It's so funny, we ran into the devil in the warm-up match, right? If you die, you will go home and be obedient.]

[Ouch, the noble official player fans are attracting criticism again? What happened to the neutral player organization? There are quite a few neutral player organizations on the S list, okay? ! 】

[Why are you all so angry? Stop arguing, aren’t we all fighting against the devil? 】

Shuise, who was evaluated as standing still, looked at the colorful barrages that were moving back and forth in front of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched speechlessly.

Naturally, the malicious comments in the barrage could not have any effect on him. Shuise had followed his teacher Bruce and performed nearly a thousand shows on stage since he was a child. He had made mistakes before. The public opinion caused by the live performance mistakes of the Muse Music Band, which was famous throughout the performance world, was obviously more terrible. Now he was speechless about only one thing.

"No, this is also live? DM, are you crazy about the ratings of Eden Garden?"

Not to mention the popularity ticket system and additional audience points, even the warm-up matches are broadcast live, which really doesn't let go of any audience.

Shuise adjusted his collar, feeling that the words "circle like money" were written all over his body.

However, the scorching wind had surrounded him from all directions, and he had no time to think about these things. On the other side of the wall of the ancient Japanese-style wooden building, he had already seen the flickering human-shaped fire in the distance.

It was so unlucky that in an escape game, the first person to encounter the devil was actually him, a supporting player. It was really the worst case scenario!

"roar---!"

A strange roar like that of an ancient beast came from a very nearby direction, and a fierce burning wind broke out, sweeping around at a high speed. Shuise frowned, and the excessive heat made sweat drip from his forehead. He gritted his teeth and condensed a slender bow, which he used to stick in the charred gap of the wooden building next to him, fixing himself in place, and barely able to steady his body in the terrible burning wind.

"call---"

The burning wind was fierce, but it came and went quickly. Shuise hid himself behind a small wooden building. Bai Ye told him: In fact, in the game, if you are facing a being that is too far behind you in strength, then the best way is to hide.

Shuise even remembered that his stunned expression caused the black-haired boy to smile. Bai Ye smiled happily at the time, but he still explained to him: "Winning is also winning. As long as you can win, you can do anything that is not illegal and does not affect other people's normal games. Shuise, don't have the burden of being an idol."

Shuise still remembers his slightly irritable response when his heart was touched: "Who has an idol burden? I don't understand what you are saying!"

But now…

Watching the huge humanoid fire demon getting closer and closer, until it stepped past the side of the building where he was, and it didn't seem to notice his situation, Shuise suddenly felt fortunate that he chose to hide.

Uh... the situation doesn't seem to be too bad. Shuise's mouth twitched. After all, being targeted by the game master devil is slightly better than being targeted by the purifying type Bai Ye.

Although the new teammate was immune to all demonic powers and tag skills, he was not immune to physical attacks at all, and his speed was not as fast as his. At that moment just now, he might have been blown away by the demon's burning wind.

The huge humanoid demon was still moving forward, and it was unknown whether he was planning to go to another area or to make a circle around this wooden building. Shuise moved along with the movement of the demon god Amy in the way that Bai Ye had mentioned during the "training camp". In addition, the keen perception brought by his own musical note formation could help him confirm the position of the humanoid demon at all times, ensuring that he was always in the opponent's blind spot.

Unfortunately, perhaps because he was not very skilled, Shuise was unable to adjust his position in time, and the corner of his clothes was still noticed for a moment by the tall demon's higher vision.

"【Sonata·Seal】!"

Realizing that the humanoid demon was looking towards him, Shuise simply chose to play the violin, which was quite decisive.

The notes instantly spun out of thin air into a melody chain, circling around the humanoid demon's body and temporarily blocking its demonic power.

However, this blockade can only last for ten seconds and will become weaker over time.

The humanoid demon looked at his hands blankly, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly couldn't use his power.

There is a chance!

Mizuse kicked aside the charred wooden wall beside him and rushed directly into a Japanese courtyard, creating a huge gap between him and the humanoid demon on the street.

The most important thing in the warm-up match is the purification of the token fragments. As long as he can delay long enough, maybe the other three teammates, including the purifier Bai Ye with the fastest purification speed, can directly piece together the complete token and open the safety door!

"I'm here to help you!"

Just when Shuise was about to feel relieved, he felt his heart skip a beat. He looked ahead absentmindedly and discovered that it was not his illusion. A glittering golden clover appeared, and Youyu was actually in this Japanese-style courtyard, waving at him with a smile.

Shuise was horrified: "Why are you here? Go find the core token while I'm distracting you! Didn't Bai Ye say that we can open the security door as soon as we find the five token fragments? The most important thing in escape games is to race against time!"

At the beginning, two people are holding back the demon, and the number of fragments they have is definitely not enough!

You Yu looked away guiltily: "I originally wanted to purify the fragments, but... I was worried that it would be too hard for you to be alone, so I quickly came here obob."

Shuise: ...Actually, you just got lost, right? Big brother, please stop pretending, just go away!

Bai Ye, who was standing on the high stands and witnessed everything, was a little speechless. The demon whose rhythm of pursuit was interrupted by the musical notes seemed to sense his breath, and suddenly turned his head, looking at the black-haired boy on the high stand from a distance across the street.

Soon, the notes on the demon gradually faded, and Demon Amy was like a child who had noticed her favorite candy. The whole demon faced the direction of Bai Ye and flew over quickly.

"...What a sin." Bai Ye sighed in despair. His luck was so different from You Yu's. The demons were willing to run over to catch him from such a distance. Was it because he was really unlucky, or was it because purification-type players had their own body odor?

It's hard to say which one it is, but this doesn't stop Bai Ye from showing off. The black-haired boy stood there motionless, and the burning wind carrying the fire dust couldn't get close to his body at all. Bai Ye stretched out his hand to the humanoid demon like teasing a dog: "Hey, those guys are too worrying. Amy from the Huogu family, come here."

No matter what, let me satisfy my craving first.

[Wow, wow, is this the strength of your Night City? Isn't this a devastating start? 】

[Squid fans suddenly don’t want to talk anymore, this is a bit off the mark haha]

[Even if you are in the preliminaries around the world, you still have this kind of super off-line feeling. It should be said that the Squid Detective Agency sometimes cooperates tacitly and sometimes cooperates with each other. The reason why they can get to the A list is simply because their personal abilities are too strong.]

[I'm not from Night City, I just wanted to say that according to the introduction, she is only sixteen years old. The tall boy loves to pretend and can't be stopped. The girl in the team should be more reliable, right? 】

[People from Night City are almost laughing when they see the sentence above]

[All about technology, no coordination]

[I just switched the perspective, how come I was led to the side of the purification-type teammates? How do teammates find fragments?]

[I am from Night City, I don’t know these people]

[Who is this Bai Ye? He looks very powerful. He even passed by the devil without blinking an eye. Isn’t he hot? 】

[Although he does have good psychological qualities, I heard that he is a criminal because his labeling ability is used for labor reform]

[No matter what, let’s just pay attention to him and see if he can survive the devil’s clutches.]

[I am the one running around in everyone’s live broadcast room of Squid Detective Agency (thumbs-up)! 】

While it would take some time for Amy to come over, Bai Ye opened the player panel and took a look at the independent live broadcast account of the Eden App that he had bound to. In just a few minutes, the number of fans of this account, which started from 0, had reached 5,000.

The number of fans of Youyu, Shuise and Linglan has also increased significantly to varying degrees. It turns out that global traffic is strong.

Putting aside other things, the reunion is indeed an unprecedented grand event. The total number of people watching the live broadcast online has reached nearly one billion. After all, this is an event that truly concerns everyone's vital interests. If this continues, after a warm-up match is over, he can go out to live broadcast and sell goods.

Bai Ye looked at the demon getting closer and closer, then turned and ran downstairs.

On the other side, Shuise was still urging Youyu to find the fragments for purification as soon as possible, when he saw another familiar figure appear outside the hole in the outer wall of the courtyard that he had kicked.

"I'm over here!"

Lily of the Valley waved her hands in the distance, and with a tug of the vines, she flew directly in front of the two boys: "Why are you here? I saw the devil's fire burning here, so I wanted to fulfill my duty, but I didn't expect you were all here."

Shuise was the only one who remembered Baiye's instructions: "...You are all here, who is purifying the fragments?"

He suddenly remembered something and ran a few steps to the gap in the big hole and looked out to observe the street: the air around him was no longer hot, and it was obvious that the devil was no longer around.

Shuise lost his voice: "No, we are all here, who led Amy away?"

Youyu and Linglan looked at each other and saw the word "finished" in each other's eyes.

On the other side, Bai Ye, who looked a little embarrassed, barely avoided the fireball released by Amy who was following him from a distance. The panel showed that the erosion degree of the other world had reached 13%.

Being attacked by demons during the demon game will increase the erosion of the inner world to the player. If the erosion reaches 50%, the player's actions will be very difficult. If it reaches 100%, the player will directly enter the demonization exit countdown due to the excessive erosion. Only other people's soul particles can reduce the erosion. This is also the means by which the devil eliminates players.

So this is what it feels like to be invaded by the other world. It’s not a big deal, just a little dizzy.

Bai Ye looked at the darkening vision and thought calmly.

The barrage at this moment is exactly the attitude of everyone in the live broadcast room: [It’s over, I feel like I can prepare to quit this person’s live broadcast room now, isn’t this definitely going to be eliminated? 】
