Hinata Hajime is an adult, and a responsible adult at that. On Jabbawok Island, he took care of everyone from the 77th term. Now that he is here, he is constantly thinking about the existence of Kamukura Izuru. Perhaps he will always be the one who worries about others, with a helpless look as if he can't let go.
As an adult, Hinata Hajime knows better than anyone that he might be a little abnormal. After all, no one has another self in his head, and he feels at ease doing what he should do, and he carries this time bomb and tries to save the world.
Like an unconscious psychopath.
However, it was difficult for him not to care about Kamuzuru.
There were times when Hinata Hajime was unable to accept reality. He hated the world divided by talent, was disgusted with his own incompetence, had headaches that made it difficult for him to fall asleep, and couldn't even cry. With the last bit of hope, he placed himself on the experimental table of Hope's Peak Academy, endured surgery after surgery, and ultimately lost himself.
All these sorrows and pains have a common name: Kamuzhō-dō-ryū.
He is the pain and hope that he cannot give up.
No one can let go of their past.
Just like the previous dream, he could only peek into Kamijou Izuru's inner world through the mirror. The man put a hand over his eyes but kept asking him to look at himself.
Hinata Hajime also wanted to see, and his heart was clamoring to get something, but in the end, all he could touch was a mirror.
This past belongs to him and yet does not belong to him.
Kamizuru turned his head to look at him, his red eyes staring at him. After a moment, Kamizuru spoke, "You are sad, why?"
"No." Hinata Hajime calmly looked away. He even admired himself for saying this so easily without even pausing for a breath. He looked around seriously, "Since we have two clues, there should be a third clue. We must find the Despair Fragment as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible."
"The longer you stay in there, the more variables there are."
Kamukura Izuru looked at him, and seemed to be sure that Hinata Hajime did not want to continue, so he looked away and walked forward, passing the unconscious people on the ground.
The two came to the place where Kamuzuru Izuru judged that Hinohara Ichi fell into the water at the beginning, and there stood a young man who looked the same as Hinohara Ichi.
Unlike President Hino, this young man was wearing ordinary casual clothes, without glasses, and was tied to a lamppost with a bookish look. He kept shouting for help, but there were unconscious people all around him and no one came to help him, so he could only lower his head in frustration.
"Three years ago, Momo's president, Hinoharaichi, was kidnapped." Kamuzuru Izuru calmly read out Hinoharaichi's life experience. "The kidnapper was a psychic under the Apostle of the Cang. He was dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits by the Cang King, so he kidnapped celebrities who had not committed any crime in order to obtain a large amount of money."
"Hinohara Ichi was one of the victims."
Hinata Hajime read this life story together with Kamizuru Izuru. When he heard Kamizuru Izuru start the story, he immediately thought of the sequel.
The terrorist incident in Cangqi was a hot topic at that time. It was a few months later that the detective agency and the military and police completely dealt with them. At that time, Hinohara was taken hostage for a long time. In the end, a psychic from the military killed the criminal and rescued Hinohara.
However, this caused considerable psychological trauma to Hinohara. He stayed indoors and was forced to suspend the ongoing game development. Perhaps it was because of this experience that he realized that games and reality cannot be in harmony, and he resisted gun games from the bottom of his heart.
Later, he finally got over it and continued to make the game that had not been successfully made before, and launched a public beta three years later.
This is the now legendary game that has left countless people in a coma.
"Go put him down." Kamukura Izuru pointed at the rope that bound Hinohara Ichi, "The last Easter egg clue will only start after you rescue him."
"Using the method of changing the past to make Easter eggs? This president is really weird." Hinata Sou murmured, "No game producer would make his own experience into an Easter egg in the game, right? And an Easter egg of this level."
Kamukura Izuru glanced at Hinata Hajime, then spoke, "This is the source of his despair."
"Huh?" Hinata Hajime was surprised. "Despair?"
"Yes." Kamukura Izuru replied calmly: "There is no other person who better fits the definition of a desperate host."
In this game world, except for Hinata Hajime and Kamijou Izuru, everyone else is unconscious. Apart from the unconscious people, there is only this Easter egg game that is still running and the Tetris blocks that keep falling not far away. According to the explanation in the Easter egg, the Tetris blocks were also something that Hinohara had set up long ago.
The formation of this world is inseparable from Hinohara.
This is something that Hinohara cannot let go of even in despair, so he continues to revolve in his own unique game world.
This is the game's Easter egg, and also Hinohara Ichi's life.
Hinata Hajime walked over with a complicated expression. After Hinata Hajime approached, Hinohara Hajime finally raised his head as if he realized something. He looked at Hinata Hajime with expectant eyes, all of which were asking for help.
He said, "Sir, are you here to save me? Please! Save me!"
"Of course." Hinata Sou untied the rope, "President, don't get too excited. Relax. The rope is a little difficult to untie."
"Yes, yes!" Hinohara relaxed for a moment, but he still couldn't help but keep talking excitedly, "Great, I was saved. I thought I was going to die here."
"I haven't finished my game yet. It's a great game. I can't die here."
Hinata Hajime untied the rope and looked at this man who was full of hope for the future. "You will definitely succeed."
"Of course! I'm a genius game maker!" Hinohara closed his palms and looked at Hinata Hajime with bright eyes. "Excuse me, sir, what's your name? You saved the most talented game maker and the best game. I will repay you!"
An image of a very confident young man.
Hinata Hajime inexplicably felt like he was seeing everyone from the 77th term.
They are so confident and have no hesitation in their own fields. It has to be said that the people chosen by Hope's Peak Academy are indeed of a certain standard. Rather than being talented, they are people who can change the world in the future. Therefore, the super high school level nobleman and □□ can become talents.
"No, I don't need anything in return." Hinata Sou said, "Can you tell me what you want to do most right now?"
"What do you want to do most?" The NPC would not feel confused. After receiving the question, he would immediately answer according to the game settings, so Hinata Hajime saw star-like light in his eyes.
Hinohara said: "The thing I want to do most now is to finish my game! It will definitely be a masterpiece that will transcend time! Believe me!"
Excited and confident, Hinohara Ichi disappeared from in front of Hinata Hajime, and the third piece of white paper fell from the air and landed in Hinata Hajime's hands.
"Clue 3: Hinohara, who was rescued by the player, is eager to complete his game. He is full of expectations for the future."
"Wait a moment."
Hinata Hajime frowned slightly. He noticed something was wrong. "Why is it that Hinohara Ichi, who was saved by the player, is full of hope for the future only after being saved by the player?"
"In real history, he was not saved by anyone, and he shut himself off for a long time due to psychological trauma during the long confrontation," Kamiya Izuru added.
"So, in his subconscious, Hinohara Ichi didn't want this kidnapping to happen, but that's normal. No one wants such misfortune to happen to them." Hinata Hajime said, "It's Hinohara Ichi's selfish desire to set him up to be rescued by the player in the Easter egg game, and it's reasonable."
Kamiya Izuru waved his hand, and the three pieces of clue paper slowly merged together, and finally turned into a line of handwriting that floated in the air, the handwriting was full of innocence and longing.
【Hinohara Ichi loves games, and he hopes to make games throughout his life.】
A burst of flames ignited, and the flames burned the line of words. The next moment, a light came on, and the unconscious person on the ground disappeared from sight. A huge wall fell down, and arrows were marked on the wall in a humane way, as if to indicate the direction for them, but there were two such arrows, pointing in different directions.
"This is a cooperative game." Kamukura Izuru said, "Do you remember the rules of Tetris?"
Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, then he quickly recalled: "What you said is: using the invincible Tetris as the timer, defeat the boss within the specified time?"
"This is the condition for unlocking the final boss." Kamiya Izuru turned around and walked towards the Tetris. He said, "You should be glad that there are two of us."
"Wait, wait a minute?" Hinata Sou took a step forward. "You mean, you want to play Tetris and leave the boss to me?"
"Of course." Kamiya Izuru said as a matter of course, "Based on your gaming skills, how long do you think you can last?"
"It's not like you can't even last three minutes." Hinata Hajime twitched his lips. "After all, I've played a lot of games with Nanami before, so I won't die right away."
"And do we have to follow the rules of the game?"
Hinata Hajime muttered softly, "It's really a good game that you have to follow the game rules to see the final boss. Although we are in the game world now, we are not game characters, right? Why do we have to follow the game rules? There are always other ways."
"Because there is no time." Kamuzuru Izuru calmly cut off all the words.
Hyuga card case.
"It has been three hours since we entered here. Judging from the increasing number of unconscious people in the world, the situation is getting worse. The number of military and police officers is small after all, plus the instigation of other people with ulterior motives. Isn't this what you are worried about?" Kamukura Izuru and Hinata Hajime looked at each other, without any ripples in their red eyes. "Following the rules of the game is not the best way, but it is the fastest way."
There are no secrets between Kamijou Izuru and Hinata Hajime.
He always knew what Hinata Hajime was thinking about and what he was worried about.
Hinata Hajime's mood was very complicated. He wanted to say something but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
From the miracle of discovering Kamijou Izuru standing before him when he first entered this world, to the current uneasiness that even Hinata Hajime himself couldn't understand, the change from surprise to bitterness seemed to make no sense at all.
Hinata Chuangxiang: I don’t even have the ability to cherish myself.
But he is an adult, a rational adult, and he knows better than anyone that this is the best solution. His complicated emotions, which are not worth mentioning, are not as important as the fragments of despair.
He clenched his hands so hard that his fingertips were trembling. After a few seconds, Hinata Sou sighed as if he had lost his strength. He stood where he was and smiled at Kamijou Izuru. His emerald eyes were full of gentleness, as soft as spring.
He smiled and said to Kamuzuru Izuru, "I leave it to you."
…
On a tall building in the distance, a man sat at the top. He curled up in his chair, looking at the ceiling with empty eyes. He was sure that he was not thinking about anything, he just stared blankly at the crack in the ceiling.
Hinohara Ichi hasn't been in a daze like this for a long time. In the past, his mind was full of new game ideas all the time. His head that belonged to games was full of love, and he couldn't wait to convey his ideas to everyone.
His subordinates in the company love him, the players trust him, he started from scratch and became the most successful person, so he works harder.
Everything is so beautiful.
So, so…
There was a click, and Hinohara blinked as if he finally reacted. He stood up and looked at the screen in front of him. His eyes moved slightly when he saw the person.
"Are they here?" Hinohara stood up and looked down at Hinata Hajime who was walking towards him. "The one who is fighting desperately."
"Can you dispel my despair?"
