Chapter 061 Chapter 61
In an open space in the mountains, where the live broadcast would not capture the view, Bai Yixin sat cross-legged against a tree in an ungraceful manner, staring at the live broadcast platform distractedly while looking at the system interface.
The symbol that allows you to draw cards has already lit up.
In the live broadcast interface, Okita Shinro and Yanagida Maiko fell asleep leaning on each other, the doppelganger Aburano Hideto followed Rimi, and Miyuki also found a small place to sleep alone.
"This girl is the only one who hasn't slept yet." Bai Yixin pointed at Li Mei's figure, "Isn't she tired at all?"
The knife used by the double body Rimi would not hit the vital part, and would only cause a superficial wound to Rimi. Rimi's knife-holding behavior was beyond Bai Yixin's expectations, so he asked the double body Aburano Eito to follow Rimi all the time, seemingly to monitor her, but in fact he was afraid that she would die halfway.
"It's very safe during the day." Bai Yixin said, "After all, I'm not a devil. It's impossible for me not to give you any rest time."
Although the system monitored the physical and mental health of these people before the live broadcast began, who knows whether they would suffer from excessive mental stress, stay up late to escape, and suddenly die.
He came here to issue a warning, to give these people a vaccination, not to attack people, even if this is a foreign country.
"Host, we have discovered that the discussion of the advent of the weird on websites in many countries has increased dramatically." The system said, "According to the summary and statistics of the attitudes of netizens during the discussion, 68.93% of the discussion participants believe that the weird will come, 12.37% do not believe it at all, and the rest are half-believing and half-doubting."
Bai Yixin: "It's enough. Better than expected."
System: "The news has spread to the West. Although the host has not yet conducted a live broadcast in the West, the discussion has already heated up."
Bai Yixin was a little surprised: "Are there many people who believe in it?"
"Not many." The Savior System's voice was somewhat helpless. "98.45% of people don't believe it, and the rest are half-believing and half-doubting. There is not a single person who completely believes it. They regard the strange advent as a joke, and some people think it is a propaganda film for a horror movie produced jointly with China by Japan."
"This is not unexpected." Bai Yixin stretched his waist. "Even if the officials of the Western countries announced the mysterious coming, the people would have their own thoughts and ideas. Many people even believe in news media and gossip more than their officials."
The United States was specifically mentioned, as the public there has a very low level of trust in the government. They have always believed that the government is hiding a lot of information and has established top-secret files, the first of which refers to UFO incidents.
Bai Yixin doesn’t know whether aliens really exist, but strange things do exist.
No matter how they deal with it, Bai Yixin just needs to do his own thing and fulfill his obligation to warn. Whether they believe it or not is not within his consideration.
It's just a month's time anyway, and in a month, hell will be here.
Then it won't be just a small fight, but real death.
A man in white walked out from the woods behind and came behind Bai Yixin.
"Have you recycled it?" Bai Yixin turned to look at him.
The paper figurine narrowed its eyes and raised its hand to reveal two small paper figurines inside. They were the appearance of Youtian Yingdou and Ling Nai. "Of course, no problem. When are you going to let them out?"
Bai Yixin tilted his head and thought, "Hmm... maybe a few days later. Anyway, in Neon Country, it's common for people to disappear for a while and then be released inexplicably. So let the girl out first, and then the man after two or three days."
Paper Figure: "Why not wait a month?"
Bai Yixin: "No, after the strange thing comes, we may not be able to take care of this place. Then you and I will stay in China to help. There is no time to cross the sea to come here to release people. I don't know how many people will be left after the strange thing comes. Wait until you and I are done with our work and then release them. If by chance your relatives are gone after the strange thing comes, wouldn't that be very sad?"
"Oh~" The paper man leaned forward and stared into Bai Yixin's eyes, "You are really considerate. They are a group of strangers who should be thankful just to be alive. Is it necessary for you to think about them to that extent?"
Bai Yixin looked at the paper man in silence and asked the system: "Are there too few soul fragments on this guy?" How come not only the outer shell, but also the soul inside is turning into the appearance of a weird paper man?
System: "Don't ask this system. This is none of this system's business."
The paper man laughed: "It was just a joke~Okay, I have nothing to do here now."
Bai Yixin stared at the live broadcast screen. Because the town had become a wasteland, except for the trees on the mountain where you couldn't see far, the scenery in many other places was so far you could see the end at a glance. Li Mei quickly found the sleeping Miyuki.
"No need, you can go back." Bai Yixin said, "The card has been unlocked, and the warning has been delivered. It will be fine after throwing them out."
If possible, he would stop the live broadcast and throw them out directly. Unfortunately, there are not many ways to leave the strange domain, and the most common ones are the two mentioned above. Destroy the core of the strange domain, or go back the same way you came.
In addition, there are some special ways, such as using some ghosts or special abilities, etc. These methods are very special, and Bai Yixin has demonstrated them when throwing out Saito Shun, which is to tell everyone that there is no unique way to leave. But the most common way is to go back the same way you came.
Therefore, the train must arrive at 11:30 pm, not a minute later.
Otherwise, should I draw the card first?
Looking at the burning talisman, Bai Yixin's fingers were eager to move. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and tapped on it.
There was a clattering sound, the chain was unlocked, and the surroundings immediately became pitch black.
The dim will-o'-the-wisp flickered in the air, illuminating the surrounding scenery. This was a cemetery surrounded by iron fences, and it looked like a Western cemetery.
This cemetery has probably been abandoned for a long time. The fences are broken and the tombstones have collapsed, but there are no weeds growing there. The ground is charred as if it had been burned by something.
A hand bone suddenly emerged from the graveyard, pressing against the ground, and soon its owner crawled out of the dirt. It was a dark-haired boy with regular features, but from under the nose to the jaw were all white bones, and the left half of the body from the neck was also full of bones, but from the waist down it was normal. The boy was wearing tattered clothes, which were torn into strips, so it was impossible to tell what he wore when he was alive.
The boy's right hand covered his jaw with flesh and blood. He lowered his head slightly and looked forward. Only his mouth was left with no expression, but through his slightly narrowed eyes, it could be seen that he was smiling.
The darkness faded away, but before Bai Yixin could read the new card information, the darkness came again.
Before being completely enveloped by darkness, Bai Yixin only had time to hear the system's excited words: "Host, we have a lot of energy left. It's time for a double draw!"
So, did he draw two cards this time?
As this thought flashed through Bai Yixin's mind, he saw butterflies flying all over the sky.
Golden, blue, red, white and colorful butterflies of all kinds were flying in the sky, and many of them landed on a young boy with gray skin and white eyes.
The butterflies added color to the gray boy.
The boy raised his arms, and the butterflies that landed on him flew into the sky, dancing around him like a beautiful ribbon.
A fawn ran past the boy, and the butterflies immediately changed direction and flew towards the fawn, densely covering the fawn. A few seconds later, the fawn fell down, and the butterflies flew away from the fawn's skeleton.
Looking at the boy again, his slightly gray complexion seemed to have become more rosy. A palm-sized golden butterfly landed on the boy's fingertips. The boy smiled and said: Good boy~
The darkness faded.
Bai Yixin leaned against the tree trunk in a daze.
He didn't even need to look to know that these two cards were strange.
The first one is a half-skeleton boy, and the second one looks a little like a human, but the butterflies he raises eat meat, and it is suspected that the flesh and blood they devour can provide nutrition for themselves.
It's not a good thing no matter how you look at it.
Forget it, he's used to it, so he just lies down and stops struggling.
The real weirdness is about to come. As long as you have powerful cards in your hand, it doesn’t matter what camp they come from, as long as they are useful.
In the end, it's all under your control.
"The half-skeleton boy looks very much like a Westerner." Bai Yixin immersed himself in planning a new script.
There was still a month left, and he planned to complete the live broadcast in Western countries within five days, so that at least half of the people would believe that the weird was coming. Then he would focus on improving his strength, prepare a few more cards, and distribute all the cards to prepare for the future.
"Even though school is suspended, I'm actually busier than when I was in school," Bai Yixin sighed.
System: "Host, come on~"
"Stop talking nonsense and come and help." Bai Yixin said impatiently, "Plan the next live broadcast."
There is no time to waste.
On the other side, after Li Mei found Miyuki, she woke her up and asked about the whereabouts of Reino.
Miyuki was very happy to see Rimi at first, but when she saw the existence of 'Aburano Hideto', she was almost scared to death and pushed Rimi away. She also thought Rimi was a doppelganger.
Li Mei held her hand and explained for a long time before Miyuki reluctantly believed it.
As for the whereabouts of Reino, Miyuki naturally didn't know. Because of the fate of encountering Reino's doppelganger, even if she really saw Reino, she would no longer dare to go up and talk to her.
After Miyuki told her story, she kept crying.
Li Mei's head was buzzing from crying.
But 'Aburano Hideto' kept urging them, saying that the real Reno must have died, and asked them to give up Reno and go to Kisaragi platform to wait for the train back.
Of course, Li Mei disagreed, but Miyuki hesitated.
After a whole night of scares, Miyuki, who had originally been determined to go back with Reino, began to think about backing out.
Limei is a very smart person. She immediately discovered Miyuki's idea, but did not expose it. She just asked her to go to the Kisaragi platform and wait for her.
"Once I find Reino, I'll go to the platform with her, and then we'll leave together." said Li Mei.
Miyuki didn't dare look up at Rimi. She just hummed as a response, then said goodbye to Rimi and went to the Kisaragi platform alone.
'Aburano Hideto' said: "If you don't get to the platform on time, do you think she will wait for you? Or will she get on the train by herself?"
Li Mei: "I hope she gets on the train by herself."
'Aburano Hideto': "Then you were left behind, right?"
Li Mei: "Rather than being abandoned, I'm more afraid that after I die here, she will continue to wait meaninglessly and then die here with me."
'Aburano Hideto': "You are very interesting."
Li Mei didn't say anything.
'Aburano Eito' looked at Rimi with a grin: "I like you very much."
Li Mei rolled her eyes and turned away to ignore the doppelganger.
