Chapter 191 Chapter 191 Campus Love ~ The Temptation of Returning to School
191
Quiet, still quiet.
On the rooftop, it seemed as if a string of large ellipsis marks were about to materialize in the sky.
Nakajima Atsushi's mouth twitched, and he spoke first.
"It really is a scary game."
Sakata Gintoki wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with despair, "It's no use. We have to say goodbye to this world."
Leader Dazai Osamu raised his hand to his forehead and said, "This character has a yandere setting. How dangerous."
Investigators Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya: "..."
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru fell silent, looking at Akutagawa Ryunosuke with expressions full of desire to complain.
"Poor child."
Geto Xia Yu looked at Feng Molong, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"I think we are the ones who are more worried now."
[The hero Ryunosuke Akutagawa failed to conquer the game, resulting in the death of the game protagonist. This is considered a clearance failure, and the Wind Dragon's HP value increases by 20,000 points.]
The blue light in the Wind Dragon's eyes became brighter, and it spread its wings and howled vigorously again.
Li Xiaoqi's eyes darkened. "I knew it."
[The Wind Dragon is attacking, brave warriors, be prepared.]
The Wind Demon Dragon approached the rooftop, stopped in mid-air, and stirred up a powerful airflow.
Li Xiaoqi was thin and was knocked down by the oncoming airflow.
Leaders Dazai Osamu and Sakata Gintoki's faces changed, and they simultaneously reached out to try to grab Li Xiaoqi.
Li Xiaoqi was blown away by the strong wind brought by the air flow and had no time to grab the hands of the two people.
"ah!"
She cried out.
Seeing that she was about to hit the blue barriers around her, Nakajima Atsushi hurried over.
Zhongyuan Chuuya smacked his lips lightly, pushed hard on his feet, and quickly ran to the edge of the barrier to catch Li Xiaoqi.
Seeing this, the leader Dazai Osamu snorted irritably.
"I have to say, that guy's reaction ability is faster than ours, isn't it?"
Sakata Gintoki gave him a reassuring look.
The leader, Dazai Osamu, felt his forehead jump, but he curled his lips and smiled, "That's true."
Sakata Gintoki mused for a moment and then teased, "Whenever it involves Xiao Qi, you become more human."
Leader Dazai Osamu understood what he meant, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Sakata Gintoki frowned, patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Your way of avoiding topics has never changed."
Zhongyuan Chuye held Li Xiaoqi's shoulders, used his back as a shield, and slammed heavily on the barrier.
Li Xiaoqi quickly got out of Zhongyuan Zhongye's arms with an apologetic look on his face.
"sorry!"
Nakahara Chuuya frowned, rubbed his chest with his right hand and shook his head.
"I'm fine."
He looked at Li Xiaoqi with a helpless look.
"Of all the people here, you are the weakest."
Li Xiaoqi was stunned and felt a little pain in his knees.
She looked at the Wind Dragon, frowning, recalling the feeling of using the wind field just now.
“I don’t know if it can still be used now…”
Li Xiaoqi clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
At the same time, the Wind Demon Dragon opened its mouth, and white light continued to overflow from its throat, gathering into a stream of energy.
Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes and stretched his hands out to the sides.
In an instant, light green spots of light lingered around the entire rooftop, and several wind farms rose from the ground.
The cracks in the ground began to emit blue light, and the health bar on the head slowly decreased again.
Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide and stared at the wind field in front of him in a daze, "It really is used again..."
She quickly came to her senses, dragged Chuuya Nakahara into the wind field, and flew into the air.
The leader Dazai Osamu was grabbed by the arm by Sakata Gintoki and jumped into the wind field.
Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Gojo Satoru entered a wind field at the same time. Investigator Dazai Osamu grabbed the still dazed Nakajima Atsushi and jumped in.
The energy stream swept across the rooftop and the ground, but missed again.
"However, in situations like this, your abilities are the strongest."
Nakahara Chuuya's words came to my ears.
Li Xiaoqi looked over in surprise and said with a smile: "Thank you!"
Nakahara Chuuya raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded.
The energy flow disappeared and the Wind Dragon's attack stopped.
【The second round begins.】
A familiar figure echoed in the void, and the translucent screen appeared in the air again.
The avatars of everyone present on the screen kept flipping, and the next round of screening for heroes was underway.
Except for Geto Suguru who stayed in the air, everyone else slowly landed as the wind disappeared.
Nakajima Atsushi looked curiously at the pale green light and white feather shadows disappearing before his eyes, wondering, "Is this the special ability of that lady?"
Investigator Dazai Osamu reached out and gently touched the pale green dots of light scattered in the air.
The snow-like light spots fell between him, but did not disappear immediately. Instead, they dispersed in a regular rhythm.
"It's not a superpower."
Investigator Dazai Osamu raised his lip and said, "It feels more like the device on the rooftop of the detective agency."
"That's the one..."
Nakajima Atsushi looked at the anchor point at the edge of the rooftop, and the confusion between his brows grew even more intense.
"I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. Why is there a device like this on the rooftop of the Mafia headquarters?"
Nakahara Chuuya looked over and said, "I want to know too."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke heard the conversation between investigator Dazai Osamu and Nakajima Atsushi and looked over in surprise.
"Does the detective agency also have this device?"
Nakajima Atsushi coughed lightly, then thought of something and said guiltily, "Yes, but it's not as big a commotion as the Mafia."
Investigator Dazai Osamu knew that Nakajima Atsushi was thinking of something, so he quickly interrupted: "That's right, ah, now it's time to select the hero again, I wonder who it will be..."
As soon as the words fell, the screen above displayed the results.
[Please ask Dazai Osamu of the Brave Armed Detective Agency and Nakahara Chuuya of the Brave Port Mafia to step forward and start the next round of the game.]
The leader, Dazai Osamu, frowned slightly and murmured softly.
"What a waste of time."
Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to support his forehead and avoided the gaze of investigator Dazai Osamu guiltily.
The system is really something. It even adds a prefix in front of the name to distinguish it. Is it afraid that others don’t know that there are two Dazai Osamu?
Sakata Gintoki coughed lightly and laughed, "You're so long-winded, this... cough cough cough!"
Sakata Gintoki, who almost said the word "system", started coughing wildly, trying to fool people.
Investigator Dazai Osamu cast a suspicious look at him and slowly raised the corners of his lips.
Instead of exposing them, he took a step forward and stood where Nakajima Atsushi had stood previously.
Investigator Dazai Osamu spread out his five fingers, moved his knuckles flexibly, and showed a determined smile.
"No matter how weird this game is, since it's a strategy guide, it won't be difficult for me."
Nakahara Chuuya also picked up the game controller and retorted after hearing what he said: "Huh, you're so bold. Don't be like Renhu and die at the start."
The game "Campus Love ~ Temptation of Returning to School" has been relaunched, and the protagonist will be given a resurrection coin.
[Resurrection Coins have been recharged and the saved game has been loaded. Please continue playing the game with the two heroes who participated in it.]
"It's still this game, and it's continuing?"
Nakahara Chuuya looked at the picture on the game screen and returned to the plot selection area again.
The afterglow of dusk spread across the tennis court, and the barbed wire left grids of reflections on the ground.
The protagonist of the game is packing up and preparing to go home.
Gojo Satoru's voice sounded, calling out to the protagonist of the game.
On the screen, the options pop up again.
[Do you want to go and investigate?]
1. Go
2. No, have an in-depth discussion with Gojo Satoru.
Nakahara Chuuya scoffed and said, "In this kind of love strategy game, you have to be faithful from the beginning to avoid tragedies later on."
He chose "2" and didn't go to check.
Akutagawa: "Well, let's go together."
Gojo Satoru: Great! But is everything okay over there?
Akutagawa: It must be someone's prank.
Gojo Satoru: (Confused) Really...]
The protagonist of the game and Gojo Satoru walked side by side towards the school gate.
Suddenly, a line of words appeared above Gojo Satoru's head.
[Favorability +10]
Seeing that the situation was going smoothly, Nakahara Chuuya looked at Dazai Osamu and said, "Just watch."
"Unlike someone who was too greedy when playing games before and tried to get the achievement of completing the complete encyclopedia by conquering every female character, but ended up with a tragic ending of being torn into pieces by all the female characters."
On the side of investigator Dazai Osamu, the protagonist of the game is on the way to school.
"That was just an accident, and that ending is a hidden ending. Only a few people can get it."
The corner of Nakajima Atsushi's mouth twitched, "The ending of that game is too terrible."
Li Xiaoqi felt ashamed and thought of his classmate Acheng.
The leader, Dazai Osamu, pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "There was indeed such an incident."
"However, in my world, it was Chuuya who achieved this ending."
"I lied to him and told him that if he captured every female character, he would get 10,000 points, which he could redeem directly for rare weapons in the popular adventure world game produced by that game company."
Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki heard the leader Dazai Osamu's whisper and looked at him in surprise.
"That's so cheap."
Li Xiaoqi patted his shoulder and sighed.
The leader, Dazai Osamu, shook his head and said, "Yes, Chuuya is too stupid."
Suddenly, an angry text flashed across the live broadcast screen.
[Damn Dazai, how dare you bring that up!!!]
【Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell】
Sakata Gintoki looked at the live broadcast screen and was shocked by the two lines of text dominating the screen.
"Your partner has a lot of resentment towards you."
At this time, investigator Dazai Osamu manipulated the protagonist to follow the method that Ryunosuke Akutagawa had just explained to him, and successfully survived the disaster on the way to school, avoiding the double death of the game protagonist and Gojo Satoru by being pierced by a swordfish.
"It's easy."
Investigator Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips, a smug smile on his face.
The protagonist of the game he controlled came to the infirmary and went through the same plot that Ryunosuke Akutagawa had previously gone through.
During this period, Nakahara Naka did not make any other moves and kept observing the actions of investigator Dazai Osamu.
Suddenly, an enthusiastic figure appeared on his game screen.
Kikumaru Eiji: Wait! Why are you walking so fast?
Akutagawa: Kikumaru-senpai, is there anything wrong?
Kikumaru Eiji: Everyone in the tennis club is going to a barbecue restaurant for a gathering later, why don't you come too.
Akutagawa: (Looking at his abdomen) But I'm injured, so I'd better...
Kikumaru Eiji: It's okay! Just eat something light. Besides, Echizen was waiting for you in the locker room, but you left with the girl first... (Tease)
Akutagawa: I understand! 】
Next, the protagonist of the game apologizes to Gojo Satoru and says that he cannot go home with her.
Gojo Satoru didn't mind and left happily.
So, the protagonist of the game went to a barbecue restaurant with the tennis team of Youth Academy.
Li Xiaoqi held his sore neck and looked at the plot on the game screen, with a lot of complaints but nowhere to say them.
At this time, the story of Investigator Dazai Osamu also came to the dusk on the tennis court, and Gojo Satoru called out to the protagonist.
