Chapter 126 Chapter 126 Ability Deprivation.
126
The night sky was cloudless, the stars were shining, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky.
The sounds of animals rang out in the village, and crows took off from the branches, causing the leaves to rustle.
“Gu——”
The sound of an owl hooted from the depths of the surrounding forest, echoing through the night sky.
Apart from this, there was no other sound in the village.
The village was silent, without a single light or human presence.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake and gravel flew everywhere.
The ground in the middle of the village cracked open, and a tall tower rose out of nowhere.
The house began to shake, and the doors and windows creaked mournfully.
No one heard the calls from the house, and until the tower was firmly seated on the ground, no one appeared with a surprised expression.
"Huh?"
A surprised voice was heard from the top of the tower.
Then, a yellow light lit up from the top of the tower.
Dazai Osamu blinked slowly and stared blankly at the anchor point ahead.
The anchor was dark red and had not yet been untied.
"Anchor point?"
He frowned slightly and immediately looked around.
This is a room in a European-style castle, with everything including a bed, fireplace, desk, sofa chairs, and various exquisite candlesticks.
The window was blocked by black iron bars, and the starry night sky was divided into several parts by the window.
Next to it was a bed with blue curtains hanging down. Through the gaps in the curtains, one could see the books scattered on the bed.
The window and bed are located in the center of the room, with a fireplace, sofa and coffee table on the left, and a desk, makeup mirror, etc. on the right.
The candles on the table flickered, making a slight sound.
A strong floral scent filled my nose, the scent of roses.
The anchor point is located in the right corner, right next to the desk.
Dazai Osamu looked away and recalled everything that had just happened.
He came to this festival with Rengoku Kyojuro, looking for an opportunity to meet with Li Xiaoqi and get information about the Demon King and the Upper Moon.
In this intelligence mission, the system prohibits the use of any door, so he cannot open the door directly.
Originally, the Demon Slayer Corps did not need to work with him in this mission, but the system gave him a separate mission.
"Help the host Xiao Qi complete the mission 'Deliver the information to the Demon Slayer Corps'. Condition: You must be accompanied by a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and deliver the information to them. If you fail, the contract between the host Dazai Osamu and this system will be invalidated."
Dazai Osamu was sure that Li Xiaoqi didn't know about this mission. The system didn't announce it there, and there wasn't even any prompt in the live broadcast room.
After arriving at the festival, in order to prevent Rengoku Kyojuro and Muzan Kibutsuji and his group from running into each other, he kept using the Anywhere Door to move and change their positions.
During this period, he was almost discovered by the Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, but fortunately he ran fast enough.
When he returned to the festival stall market, Dazai Osamu stood behind a stall and saw Muzan Kibutsuji beating Li Xiaoqi.
“Tsk.”
He smacked his lips lightly, his brow furrowed.
Thinking of this, Dazai Osamu showed a look of dissatisfaction between his brows.
Rengoku Kyojuro, who was traveling with him at the time, was buying a gift for his younger brother at the stall next door. As soon as he came back to find him after buying it, the scene in front of him changed completely, and then he came here.
He raised his hand and gently bit his thumb nail, his brain starting to work rapidly.
What does the system want to do this time?
This question flashed through Dazai Osamu's mind. Before he began to think about the answer, he suddenly noticed something strange about his body.
He was slightly stunned, and realizing that something was wrong with his body, he quickly looked down.
At some point, he was wearing an Elizabethan leather suit, and outside the suit was a light pink princess dress. The hem of the dress was like a flower blooming in all directions. The pink gauze on it was not only light and fluttering, but also inlaid with many gems like stars.
When Dazai Osamu turned around, he saw the mirror behind him.
The hem of his skirt fluttered as he turned around, looking very ethereal.
"……ha?"
Dazai Osamu looked surprised and stared at the mirror in a daze.
Not only does the suit have a princess dress, but there is also a long golden wavy hair on the head.
He lifted his skirt and walked to the window, looking at the scenery below.
Under the cover of night, the village was quiet and deserted.
Dazai Osamu narrowed his eyes and saw in the moonlight a two-story building in the village with a wisteria pattern engraved on the wooden door.
"Tower, wisteria pattern, princess dress..."
He understood clearly, gripped the window bars, and sighed silently.
"Am I set up as a princess waiting to be rescued? The system really knows how to play games."
Dazai Osamu looked at the live broadcast interface, and Li Xiaoqi and the Ghost King and his party were trapped in the environment.
He widened his eyes and saw the "self" in the illusion reveal the matter of hard tofu, and he broke out in a sweat instantly.
On the screen, Li Xiaoqi's half-smiling face gradually became terrifying in his eyes.
“Definitely noticed!”
"Oh no, this is really terrible..."
"Why didn't I notice it after so many reminders before, but I noticed it now?"
Dazai Osamu's steps were unsteady, and he looked at Xiaoqi on the live broadcast screen and swallowed nervously.
He stared blankly at the development of the situation on Li Xiaoqi's side until the illusion was exposed and the lively scene of the festival returned to darkness.
It is very easy to crack the illusion. You can know the answer by just taking a glance at everyone inside.
All passersby are repeating the same conversations and actions, which can be seen as long as you pay attention to the passersby.
But Li Xiaoqi focused his attention on "him" and didn't pay any attention to his surroundings.
Dazai Osamu was slightly stunned, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
"What about the idiot."
In this case, Li Xiaoqi was able to see through the situation because he more or less understood him and would never take the initiative to reveal Hard Tofu's identity, which is why he was able to see through it.
The illusion shattered and fell into the temple.
What surprised Dazai Osamu was that there was an anchor point inside the temple.
"Oh? Kill two birds with one stone? Let's do this..."
Dazai Osamu chuckled, interest flashing in his iris-colored eyes beneath the leather suit.
Soon after, the temple also fell into darkness, and Li Xiaoqi, the Ghost King and others entered the secret realm created by the system.
He looked at the picture displayed in the secret realm copy, immediately took out a wooden sign, and grabbed the window fence pitifully. The words "Save me" were written on the wooden sign.
As expected, such a "tragic" picture of him appeared on the live broadcast screen.
"I'm really looking forward to the level-breaking game."
As far as he could remember, this was the first time Li Xiaoqi was not around. What would be his reaction?
As Dazai Osamu was thinking this, he was somewhat surprised by Li Xiaoqi's stunned face on the screen.
He frowned slightly, and when he saw Li Xiaoqi staring at the Grass-type Hillock Shaman in a daze, he gently pressed his brows.
Dazai Osamu looked at the barrage, and some beings from another world came into the live broadcast again.
He looked silently at the anchor point in the room, his eyes as dark as the night.

Inside the system secret realm copy.
"The seal is lifted!"
Li Xiaoqi shouted, and the bird-beak-shaped magic key turned into a magic wand and floated in front of her.
The magic circle was reflected in the eyes of Muzan Kibutsuji, Douma, and Kokushibo, and they all looked stunned.
"Kinomoto Sakura's magic key has been used. The Clow Cards will be drawn from the 12 random Clow Cards in your backpack."
Administrator June's voice rang out.
A brown card appeared in Li Xiaoqi's hand. She turned it over and a confident smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
“The Freeze!”
What a good card!
The Ice Spirit appeared from the card, blowing out wind and snow from its mouth, attacking the Hillicre Shamans.
In an instant, the Hilliard Shaman's movements were sealed and he was frozen into an ice sculpture.
The health bars on their heads decreased by half, and the health bar of the Fire Hill Shaman was emptied and turned into a point of light and disappeared.
A faint light flashed in Li Xiaoqi's eyes. He put his index finger and middle finger together and stretched out his hand again, crossing it across his chest.
After the ice card took effect, his figure disappeared and a new card appeared in Li Xiaoqi's hand.
She lowered her eyes and saw that it was a sword card.
The smile on Li Xiaoqi's face froze, and he turned around and looked at Rengoku Kyojuro silently.
For the sake of her life, it’s better not to use this card.
Rengoku Kyojuro blinked slowly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a tennis ball appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"learn!"
"Outspin serve—"
Two outspinning serves hit the faces of the Grass Hill Shaman and the Water Hill Shaman in succession. With a crackling sound, the Hill Shamans' health bars dropped to zero and they turned into ice cubes and disappeared.
Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yeah, piece of cake!"
[Ding Dong! Adventurer Nana and Adventurer Rengoku Kyojuro successfully used their weapons to defeat the monster. The remaining three adventurers did not use their weapons to attack and will be punished.]
!!!
"ha?"
Douma opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "Why?!"
Kokushibo's muscles tensed, and he lowered his breath and observed his surroundings.
Muzan Kibutsuji snorted lightly and spoke to the void in dissatisfaction, "What an overbearing rule! And with four options, one of them will be punished, right?"
[This is the rule for this level. The punishment begins.]
As soon as Xukong finished speaking, Muzan Kibutsuji, Douma and Kokushibo felt as if their bodies were empty and they even felt a chill.
They looked down together and saw that their clothes had disappeared, leaving them in only a pair of strawberry pink boxer briefs.
“…”
Li Xiaoqi showed a stunned look, and suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahahahahahahahaha!!!”
Rengoku Kyojuro blinked, tilted his head slightly, and exclaimed, "Wow, everyone looks in great shape. They must be working out regularly."
【Hahahahahahaha】
[I'm so lucky! How did my Ah Yin's panties get here?]
[Hey, this system is abnormal]
[Caught Chuuya, hey hey]
[Oh no, this is the punishment...Shashasha]
A series of laughter occupied the live broadcast interface, and special effects of gift-giving appeared one after another.
Muzan Kibutsuji, Kokushibo, and Douma had blank expressions and their bodies gradually lost color.
Li Xiaoqi tried hard to stop laughing. "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I just didn't expect the punishment to be this..."
[Ding Dong! The punishment is stripping off one of the player's abilities while stripping them of their clothes. If the adventurer clears the level, the ability will be returned.]
The mechanical female voice sounded again.
Then, Wuzan and the others' expressions became even worse.
