Hinata Hajime is a realistic person. Although he has the right to dream, he knows the difference between reality and dreams better than anyone else, just like he will always be the person who doubts the world on Jarbawk Island.

Therefore, Hinata Hajime had never thought about the current situation.

He was walking on the road, and another person who looked exactly like him was standing next to him. Because the distance was too close, he could even hear the sound of the other person's clothes rubbing against each other when he walked. The sound was obviously very small, but it was inexplicably amplified in Hinata Hajime's ears, to a level that could not be ignored.

Hinata Sou pressed his temples helplessly and let out a long sigh.

"Even if we have never existed in this way, you shouldn't be so panicked." Kamukura Izuru suddenly spoke.

Hinata felt his fingertips go numb. He subconsciously put his fingers to his mouth and bit them. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Who do you think is to blame?"

"It's your own fault." Kamukura Izuru answered very unethically.

...Okay.

Hinata Hajime put his hands down, trying to ignore the restlessness in his heart. He looked around and shifted his attention to the current scene.

"This is the game world." Kamukura Izuru explained it to Hinata Sou, "You can think of it as a new world program."

Hinata Hajime frowned slightly. Indeed, the environment here was almost exactly the same as Yokohama.

The same buildings, the same streets, the traffic lights were flashing, but there were no cars on the road. In the warm sunshine, unconscious people were lying on the ground, unconscious. Hinata Sou had just tried to wake someone up, but it was useless. People who were unconscious in the real world were also unconscious in this world.

The only ones who can move freely in this world are Hyuga Hajime and Kamijou Izuru, and perhaps a host of the Fragment of Despair.

"Why aren't we unconscious?" Hinata Hajime looked at the human lying on the ground.

"Because we have a fragment of hope." Kamukura Izuru casually stepped over an unconscious person, his hands in his coat pockets, looking completely calm and at ease. "In this game program, we have basic settings, similar to Nanami Chiaki back then."

"What was Nanami's condition like back then?"

"Basic right to know, but no ability to change the procedure." Kamiya Izuru added.

Hinata Hajime frowned slightly, although this did make him quickly understand the situation between himself and Kamukura Izuru.

They are more like viruses that invaded from the outside world because of the fragments of hope, but since they cannot break the original operation of the program, they can only walk around in this world like a visitor and see what is going on.

Just when Hyuga Hajime was thinking about what he could see, there was a bang and the ground shook. Hyuga Hajime managed to stand still. He looked at Kamukura Izuru in surprise.

"Earthquake?"

"No." Kamuzuru Izuru pointed forward, "Something is falling from the sky."

"Huh?" Hinata was surprised, "Something is falling from the sky?!"

In order to see clearly what had just fallen, Hinata Hajime and Kamijou Izuru decided to climb to a high enough place to take a look. The tallest building in Yokohama was undoubtedly the Mafia Headquarters. Perhaps this was the only time they could go to the headquarters building of the Port Mafia so openly.

Standing on the rooftop of a high-rise building, Hinata Hajime finally saw clearly what was in the distance.

It was a huge, upright game console with blocks falling from the sky. When the huge blocks hit the ground, they made a bang and the entire ground shook.

A giant, materialized Tetris block.

At this time, Hinata Souzai began to feel the reality of his own setting in the game world.

The blocks that fall every ten minutes, the giant stones that turn upside down in the air, are finally placed randomly in a position so as not to become a line of mysterious players that disappear. The game machines are flashing neon lights, which are not obvious in the daytime, but are particularly strange.

"Why?" Hinata Hajime frowned slightly. "The blocks just now can be put into a row if they are put down vertically. I remember that the rules of Tetris game are that they can disappear if they are put into a row."

“The rules are different.”

Kamizuru calmly watched the blocks fall down one by one and land exactly where they couldn't be inserted. "The rules of this game are: you can't let any row of blocks disappear, but you can't let the blocks go out of bounds either. If one of you fails, the whole game fails."

"That is to say, we can't let the blocks disappear, and we can't let the game fail." Hinata Tsao thought about the difficulty of the game, and he said helplessly, "It's so difficult, it's a game that is doomed to fail."

Kamiya Izuru stared at the game console, with a hint of indifference in his red eyes.

"It's best not to lose the game."

Hinata Hajime looked at Kamuzuru Izuru.

Kamukura Izuru turned around and looked at Hinata Hajime. He said, "He will die."

If you fail the game, you will... die?

"So." Hinata Sou thought for a moment, "That means we need to stay away from this game as much as possible. Got it. Let's go find Mo Meng's president first. If I'm not mistaken, he definitely has a connection with the Despair Fragment, and there's a high possibility that he's the Despair Host."

Kamijou Izuru looked at him, and Hinata Hajime's figure was reflected in his red eyes.

"Outflow?"

"Yeah." Kamizuru Izuru responded, then he withdrew his gaze, his red eyes looking lazily outside.

The reflections of those tall buildings were in his eyes, but Shenzuochu Ruoya didn't even take them into his eyes. His eyes were filled with indifference.

Boring.

…

Hinata Hajime doesn't know what the situation is in the outside world right now. He hopes that everyone in the detective agency will try their best to control people's panic after seeing his message and must not let a more out-of-control incident break out. However, when a new victim suddenly appeared in the middle of the road while walking to the game company, Hinata Hajime still felt anxious.

Even in this situation, people still keep coming in. What went wrong?

Or do those suicide enthusiasts see this as a better place than euthanasia?

Hinata Hajime looked helplessly at the unconscious people on the ground. "The number is still increasing, but the military and police can't stop people from downloading games."

“Humanity cannot live without the Internet.”

"So I'm really helpless." Hinata Sou sighed, "Izuru, if it were you, do you have any good ideas?"

Kamukura Izuru glanced at Hinata Hajime and said, "You don't want to know."

Hinata Hajime: ...

Very good, he already knew that if he let Kamiya Izuru do it, this person's method would be extremely biased, and he might even be hated by countless people, because Kamiya Izuru only considers efficiency, never considers people's feelings, let alone the consequences.

Just as he was about to say something, Hinata Hajime suddenly stopped, looked to the side, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Was there a human voice just now?"

Kamuzuru Izuru listened for a moment, then pointed to the riverside.

"Here?" Hinata Hajime ran to the river. As soon as he reached the river, he saw a man struggling in the water. The man was trying hard to maintain his balance, but because he was a landlubber, he subconsciously saved himself. However, as soon as he struggled, his body began to sink.

"Help!" The man kept begging for help, "I can't swim! Is there anyone? Help me!"

Hinata Chuang was surprised. He looked around and finally found a fishing rod by the river. It might have been left on the shore when the game was refreshed. Although it was not very new, it was still quite sturdy.

"Catch him." Hinata Sou shouted.

Fortunately, the other party had not lost his mind because of his desire to survive. He grabbed the fishing rod and was pulled back to the shore by Hinata Sou. The wet man sat on the shore, gasping for breath, his face full of fear. He kept coughing and spit out a lot of river water from his mouth.

"Yes, I'm saved!" The man almost cried out, "Thank you."

Kamukura Izuru grabbed Hinata Hajime and said, "You should know this person."

"Know him?" Hinata Hajime looked at the person he had just rescued. The moment the man raised his head, Hinata Hajime quickly superimposed him with a photo.

Mo Meng’s president: Hino Haraichi.

"President Hino?" Hinata asked tentatively.

"Hey? You know me?" Hinohara wiped the water off his face and looked at Hinata Hajime in surprise, "But, I don't think I've ever seen you, sir."

Hinata Hajime squatted down and stretched out his hand to Hinohara Ichi, "Hello, I'm Hinata Hajime, an investigator from the Armed Detective Agency."

"Oh! So you're a detective from the Armed Detective Agency." Hinohara Ichi stood up quickly, "Hello, I'm Hinohara Ichi, the president of Momeng. Thank you very much, Mr. Hinata, for saving me, but I'm sorry I'm a little rushed. I have to go back to the company to host the game release, and I'm going to be too late!"

"I will send the thank you gift to the detective agency later!"

As he spoke, Hinoharaichi got up from the ground and ran across the river bank, leaving a string of water droplets.

Hinata Hajime watched his back disappear. After a moment, he turned to look at Kamukura Izuru who was standing next to him, "What's wrong with him?"

"Think for yourself."

"If I could figure it out on my own I wouldn't ask you." Hinata Sou sighed, "Speaking of which, Izuku, you seem a little nervous."

Kamukura Izuru looked at him, and said in a particularly casual voice, “Oh.”

"Yes, that's right. It's too boring." Hinata Hajime grabbed Kamukura Izuru's shoulders and shook him. "Izuru, you have to think about it carefully. If we can't find the reason, we will be locked in this world. Everyone in the detective agency will think we are no different from those unconscious people. What if we can't go back?"

"We're going to be left in this world together!"

Kamizuru Izuru was calmly shaken by him, "Yeah."

As if knowing that he was too cold, Kamukura Izuru added, "There's nothing wrong with that."

"No." Hinata Hajime lowered his head, his forehead resting on Kamukura Izuru, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness, "No matter what, we have to solve the problem and leave here."

You must not stay in the programming world.

No matter how painful reality is, no matter how beautiful the virtual world is, we cannot stay in the virtual world. The outside world is the real thing that we should face.

He didn't come here to stay.

“That one.”

At this moment, a voice sounded not far behind Hinata Hajime. Hinata Hajime raised his head and looked over. Hinohara Ichi, who was soaking wet, looked at Hinata Hajime and Kamijou Izuru strangely.

"Did I come at the wrong time?"

Hinata Hajime: ...What is this person thinking?
