Chapter 6 Bai Ye: I have nothing to do with Wonder, please be aware!
[Oh my god!] Are you serious? ! Is this playable? ! 】
[Eden is still as wild as ever, daring to release anything. However, it is controlled by the DM system after all, so it is normal. 】
[He actually committed suicide!] What's going on? I thought that Boss Shuise might be able to directly sway Boss Youyu with the newly developed music, but I never expected that the thief would actually choose to commit suicide! What does this mean? 】
[Could it be a martyr among the devil's apostles?] Aren't all those crazy people like this? 】
[But the martyrs sacrificed themselves in exchange for the coming of even more terrifying demons! What's up with this thief? ! You can't commit suicide now just to let Shuise live, right? Shuise will definitely hand him over to the law enforcers, the people from the Squid Detective Agency who are cooperating with the official authorities! 】
…
Everyone's confusion almost condensed into a dark cloud, covering the sky above Night City. The fine night rain was still falling, drawing a bright neon rain curtain in the city.
In the game space, Shuise gritted his teeth. Although the opponent was a criminal who was opposed to the law enforcers, he could not let down a life that was sacrificed for him.
The huge strange bird was already right behind him. Shuise did not hesitate. He did not choose to rush towards the corridor opposite to where the strange bird was. Instead, he held the Heart of Night and ran directly to where the demon was.
The camera angle of the live broadcast room followed Shuise and moved rapidly behind her. Many people in front of the screen closed their eyes because of the huge claws of the demon. Even Shuise, who was on the list, could only be torn to pieces when facing a demon whose strength was completely incomparable to that of humans.
The huge claws were about to crush Shuise's head, but the light blue-haired boy was not afraid at all. His sharp wings swept past, and the steel-like feathers left deep marks on the building wall that were visible to the bone. Shuise helplessly played the violin again.
"【Sonata·Snow】——"
Shuise threw out the second crystal ball with a painful look on his face. At the beginning of each game, he could use the same sonata at most twice. After using it, the corresponding sonata would enter a long skill CD, and he would have to store enough energy to make a crystal ball again. However, in the current situation, he obviously couldn't drag it out until the CD ended.
No one knows what Shuise will do after the crystal ball ends, except himself.
The bright red countdown flashed and jumped in the upper right corner of the crystal ball. Shuise took advantage of the invincible time of the prop and quickly ran over. He took the opportunity to jump up and slammed himself into the window full of glass fragments.
The strange bird was blocked by the crystal ball, and the huge reaction force caused it to lose its balance in the air. In just a few seconds, Shuise had another chance. The light blue-haired boy jumped sideways from the top of the tall building with his hands. Even the arc of his raised hair seemed to be slowed down by the extremely fast time.
"Goodbye, Mr. Devil."
He leaned back suddenly and fell a hundred meters into the air outside the window. The broken glass rushed into the rainy night with him. The flying fragments and the dissipating crystal ball brought colorful light.
There were blood-red spots streaking through the air, which were the blood flowing from the wounds that were inevitably caused by the glass fragments in the air.
The strange bird in the building did not chase down immediately, but instead made a sharp and terrible scream. For some reason, listening to the miserable cry, Shuise always felt his heart ache a little.
Although he was an inhuman monster from the other world,... the sadness and anger that seemed to be the limit of what a living being could achieve still swept over him at the same time. Most of the emotional resonance came from... the thief's suicide without hesitation.
Why would someone who would commit suicide without hesitation so that he could escape alive for an opponent like him do something like turning against the law enforcers and stealing the Heart of Night?
Or was it really as the other party said, that the thief was just so crazy that he didn't care about his own life at all.
As he fell at a high speed, Shuise couldn't understand what was happening while his heart was feeling physical pain due to the intense emotional ups and downs.
[Water color! ! ! 2S is my favorite devil game player! Nothing can happen! I can't believe he would die here! 】
[Calm down, everyone has seen Shuise's abilities. The performer has successfully solved many demon realms. Don't worry too much. 】
[Yes, I am also a supporting type, ranked 500th on the C list. Although I was stuck in the line, I got the badge last season by watching Shuise’s live broadcast. Boss Shuise can definitely end this game successfully! 】
[Although the escape exit is on the first floor, it would be too chaotic to jump down directly, right? I didn’t remember that Shuise had a third crystal ball! 】
[Calm down, calm down. Although 2s usually appears very calm when he plays games alone, don't forget that he is a member of the Squid Detective Agency! He must have a backup plan, don't worry! 】
[That's true, that's not surprising]
[That's true, that's not surprising]
…
Blue barrages piled up one after another - because of the importance of the Demon Game, some famous players on the Garden of Eden list were quite popular on the Internet. Demon Game players were a very legitimate and respectable profession in this world. Shuise was one of the best because he was ranked 13th on the A list. At the moment he fell from the building, the entire live broadcast screen was almost blocked by the sea of barrages.
But soon, as expected by the barrage, Shuise's back-up plan came in handy. He completely relaxed in the air, and fell with the rain and glass fragments. His blood-stained hands grasped the bow and violin that appeared out of thin air, and elegantly played a single note.
The moment the music sounded, the water color and the violin in his hand collapsed directly into a large amount of water, and fell towards the ground rapidly along with the raindrops.
[Sonata·Rain]'s cooldown period had ended. Shui Se rushed directly towards the escape door on the first floor along with the rain. At the moment of landing, he used the skill of free transfer between water bodies to offset the impact of landing.
[Damn it! Damn it!] Tag skill to eliminate falling impact! Whose lifetime is this reaction speed? 】
[As expected of A13’s assistant!] How can the reaction speed be so perfect? If it were me, I would be smashed into a pulp before I could use the skill...】
[The corpse is using a skill, right? 】
[How did the above know? This is definitely me——! 】
[Speaking of which, the double S boss has kept his eyes open in this copy. This is longer than the total time he had his eyes open in the previous month, right? 】
[I have no ill intentions as a passerby, I just want to ask why you call Shuise boss double S? 】
[Because his name abbreviation is SS (laughing and crying.jpg)]
The atmosphere of the barrage became relaxed, but the demon realm was still solemn.
In the thick layer of rain water, Shuise stood up from the ripples, and he walked numbly towards the flashing red and blue rotating escape door at the first-floor gate - that was the escape exit of this game.
A game with a demon in it was solved just because of the death of a weirdo?
Shuise turned around and fell with his back to the whirlpool of the escape door. The last thing left in his silver crystal eyes, which were rarely opened, was the figure of the demon in the form of a strange bird rushing towards him.
A little...sad?
Shuise didn't know if it was his illusion. He subconsciously wanted to get closer to the sad and angry demon, but the huge suction force of the escape door behind him came, and he could only reluctantly let himself fall into the escape door behind him.
[Oh my, congratulations to player Shuise for successfully solving the "Nesting Gem Tower"!
What a pity! The DM system thought you could show everyone a longer battle, but I didn’t expect that the high-end player ranked 13th on the A list was so powerful and ended a demon’s domain so quickly!
See you next time————! Anyway, welcome back to the world of watches! 】
The ethereal and distant mechanical voice of DM whispered in his ears. Shuise stared at his hand blankly. The wound on his hand caused by the broken glass had completely disappeared. After the player returned to the surface world, as long as he did not die in the domain, all the damage he suffered would disappear. If he died in the domain, a large number of points would be deducted and his body would also suffer varying degrees of damage.
There was no blood on his arm, Shuise thought, he actually escaped from the devil's evil game.
Most of the time, death in games is not real death, but it is different in Demon’s games. As long as it is Demon’s game, death in it is real death.
die……
The light blue-haired boy suddenly raised his head, stumbled to his feet, looked around, and actually saw the figure who was supposed to be dead on the edge of the railing of the observation deck on the top floor of the building.
“Wonder?!”
Shuise, a support player on the A list, showed an unprecedented expression of shock and disbelief. He looked at the black figure from behind, and his voice was as ups and downs as the male and female protagonists in a melodrama.
At the same time, the team of law enforcers also caught up to the rooftop. The well-trained law enforcers quickly surrounded the black figure and blocked all his escape routes.
Bai Ye, who was trying to sneak over the railing and escape from the scene with Night Heart, paused: ...Oh no!
Mizuki didn't notice that Byakuya's movements were stiff. With a trembling voice, he asked the question that was exploding in his heart: "Why are you still alive?! Isn't the bullet in that gun...?!"
"...So the detective agency is just like this~ I thought you were a smart person since you solved the game so quickly~"
Bai Ye took a deep breath and put on the rebellious thief skin again. He turned his head slightly, and under the neon lights, Shuise could see that the other person's tone rose and he smiled.
“I’m sorry, I’ve already told you that I’m a Phantom Thief—is that hard to understand? I just stole my own death.”
"It's wonder——!"
Bai Ye turned around suddenly. The idea of "no ooc" supported him and the arc of his raised arms was carefully designed to be just right, wild yet handsome.
The hem of the clothes fluttered in the rainy night, and the blue lining flickered like neon lights. Bai Ye stretched out his hand, and a group of black laser metal playing cards appeared out of thin air at his fingertips, and then shot out like special effects in a game. Shuise hurriedly retreated at a high speed to avoid those playing cards with a fierce momentum, and watched those fragile cards leave traces of penetration on the top observation deck and deeply engraved into the depths of the concrete building.
A card fell lightly back to the thief's fingertips, and it was spinning as if controlled by gravity. The laser inverted cross and black sun on the back flashed, and Mizuki saw the suit of the card - hearts.
The next second, the floating card turned into a shining Heart of Night necklace.
Wonder waved the precious jewelry in his hand, whose value could not be measured by money, nonchalantly, as if it was some cheap thing bought from a street stall.
With one hand, he held down his hood that was about to be blown up by the night wind in the building, spread his arms, and fell towards the sky behind him with a smile.
In the moment when the law enforcers had no time to react, Shuise rushed to the railing at his fastest speed, but he could no longer find the figure of the mysterious thief. Countless white doves spread their wings and flew in the rain, rushing to the rooftop from below, forcing Shuise and Hongxin to take a step back.
Only the night wind mixed with drizzle brought the last words of the mysterious thief.
"I've given you the Heart of Night in the game. As for the real Heart of Night... I'll take it away. I'll come back again! Violinist."
"Your music is beautiful, I hope we can meet again one day."
Hongxin heard Mizuki, who had been staring at the place where the thief disappeared, murmur viciously: "...You are so arrogant. Next time, I will definitely catch you with my own hands..."
"The magician in the starry night rain."
Shuise uttered these words word by word, as if he was sure that the thief could definitely hear them.
On the other side, in the dark and narrow alley, a mysterious figure passed by the wall and landed lightly in the shadow deep in the alley.
"Huh...it's finally over."
Bai Ye leaned against the wall with his other hand, tightly clutching the clothes on his chest. His rapidly beating heart made him feel a little palpitated.
With the help of the game simulator, the red and blue pixels on his body faded away, and Bai Ye quickly regained his image of a well-behaved high school student. He fell to the ground as if exhausted, and only leaned against the wall of the alley to barely keep himself awake.
“…Oh my god…”
Bai Ye quickly covered his cheeks, which were red with shyness, with his trembling hands.
"What kind of horrible, second-year student stuff did I just say? This is too socially awkward! I must never let this be exposed in my lifetime!"
