Chapter 179 The Second Player

"Are you kidding?" Igarashi Yuuki was a little unconvinced: "Did I sleep so soundly?"

Gojo Satoru and Geto Summer Oil looked at each other and took out their cell phones at the same time.

Igarashi Yuuki came forward.

In the picture, the black-haired boy is lying quietly on the bed, sleeping peacefully. The only thing that is a bit out of place is the black funny cat mark on his face, which makes him look a little more funny and cute. On his left and right sides, two boys are leaning against him intimately, making "yeah" gestures towards the camera.

Needless to say, they must have taken the opportunity to secretly take the photos when Yuuki Igarashi fell asleep.

And looking at the number of photos...it's obvious that these two guys took a lot of them.

Igarashi Yuuki belatedly realized and touched his cheek - although it was already dry, he still felt traces of ink.

His eyes narrowed and a tiny curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

——Oh no, there’s a murderous aura!

Gojo Satoru and Geto suddenly felt a sense of danger.

Relying on their understanding of each other, the moment Igarashi Yuuki quickly reached out and tried to snatch the phones from Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, the two of them quickly put their phones away tacitly.

"Delete!"

“No way!”

"Give it to me!"

"I refuse! I refuse!"

Then, the three of them simultaneously put their business aside and immediately started a big fight.

Ten minutes later, with the tacit cooperation of Gojo Satoru and Geto Summer Oil, Igarashi Yuuki was finally defeated with regret.

After washing the marks on her face, Yuuki Igarashi lost the two-on-one battle and could only let her "black history" remain forever on the mobile phones of her two unlucky friends. She shook her hair and picked up the "business" that she had just thrown away as if nothing had happened.

"It seems that I slept very soundly today." He evaluated himself objectively.

——Otherwise, they wouldn’t have done so much to his face and he wouldn’t have woken up.

"Should we go ask Nazori to check it out?" Gojo Satoru asked. His expression seemed much calmer than that of Geto. "Ah, at least I can't see any problem with my six eyes."

Although he had suffered a setback with Fushiguro Shinobu, that was because he had relaxed his vigilance and "turned off" his six eyes at the school gate. However, his six eyes had never failed at other times... His six eyes could not see anything abnormal or different about Igarashi Yuuki, which proved that there was nothing wrong with him. Based on his confidence in himself, Gojo Satoru was naturally calm.

"If you can't see the problem with your six eyes, then it probably has nothing to do with the curse, right?"

Igarashi Yuuki pinched her chin and looked sharp as a detective: "I didn't feel anything unusual on my body, and I didn't feel any problem with the reversal technique..."

"And there's nothing special about this mission. At least I didn't find that those cursers and cursed spirits caused me any trouble."

He thought about it carefully, and then frowned and nodded affirmatively after thinking about something. "I have completely exorcised the cursed spirit of the land god. The three cursers should be in custody or being dealt with by the Curse Directorate. But anyway, they were defeated by me before. Even if their curses caused some sequelae, since the Six Eyes and the Reversal Technique can't find any problems, then it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

He scratched his hair and simply made a conclusion: "I just felt a little sleepy today and had a dream about something I don't know... Don't worry, don't take such a small problem too seriously."

The young man smiled openly. He always had a kind of optimism that was contagious, making people around him unconsciously become optimistic and relaxed. Xia Yujie, who was originally a little worried, had no choice but to relax his brows.

"I'm so disappointed, Yuuki," he said, smiling but with obvious connivance in his tone: "I say, you should pay more attention to your own body."

When he said this, Igarashi Yuuki knew that he would no longer be bothered by this matter. This was the trust that Xia Yujie had in Igarashi Yuuki.

"Sorry, sorry, Jay, but I'm just a little tired. I'm in good health and will be fine - it's just a small accident." Xi Haiqingdou smiled and stretched out his tone.

[Host, why don't you tell them?] The cold mechanical voice of the system echoed in Xi Haiqing Dou's mind, with a rare sense of bewilderment. It said: [I don't understand... Isn't what humans call "doing useless work" by doing this?]

[Stupid system, you are indeed an artificial idiot. ]

Xi Haiqing Dou's voice in his heart was somewhat speechless and unfathomable: [This is not a wasted effort. I didn't intend to let them know. ]

The system is stuck.

Xi Haiqingdou guessed that its procedures were probably a bit chaotic.

[Have you forgotten that my goal has always been comics? Stupid system. ]

Xi Haiqingdou scolded it: [The point is not whether the two of them know it or not. ]

The system feels wronged.

It felt that its host was taking advantage of the situation to take revenge on it, but unfortunately it had no evidence.

It tried to find loopholes in his words: [Then host, there is no need for you to do this in front of them, right? ]

Can't this kind of thing be done when you're not alone?

[I think you really want me to work for nothing.]

Xi Haiqing Dou continued to scold it: [Have you forgotten how dark the vest of "Igarashi Yuuki" is? 】

The system is silent.

After directing and acting in such a big drama, Xi Haiqing Dou was also very tired. After successfully fooling Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru away, Xi Haiqing Dou closed the door and finally relaxed his expression. With a bit of fatigue, he pressed his eyebrows, took a shower, and then lay on the bed and continued to browse the forum without giving up.

The comics haven't been updated yet.

...We can't really have to wait until Hanayamain Haruna goes to high school before the plot of the manga can continue to update, right?

Xi Haiqing Dou had a rare toothache.

Is he going to perform this again in front of Hanayamain Haruna later?

It's a bit difficult.

Xi Haiqingdou sighed.

Everything else is fine, but...does he have to perform an act of falling asleep on the spot and then having a nightmare in front of the players?

...Uh, this sounds a bit perverted.

Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. The worst that can happen is... I can just act more realistically then?

After closing the forum, Xi Haiqingdou closed his eyes and began to review the situation in his mind.

First of all, I want to thank the unlucky unknown sorcerer I met this morning.

Thanks to his spell - which allows people to "see" their most feared and irresistible nightmare come true and truly fall into the emotions of it - ah, although it is of no use to him, it doesn't stop him from making a little use of it, right?

It is reasonable that something like "world destruction" should be everyone's "nightmare", right?

So he took advantage of the situation and added another illusion after the spell cast by the unknown but kind-hearted sorcerer.

Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu were so immersed in their emotions that they had no time to notice the difference between the "illusion" they were immersed in before and after. When they came out, the curser had already fallen at his feet. Even if they had noticed his cursed power, they could have naturally inferred that "Igarashi Yuuki pulled them out of the illusion, so he had his cursed power", which was of course very reasonable.

As for the "nightmare" he had before Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru came...that depends on the system.

So the second thing is to thank the system?

Fortunately, although the system couldn't do anything else, it was still able to actively construct a clear dream in his mind - or in his dreams.

Haruto Saikai simply immersed himself completely in the consciousness of "Yuuki Igarashi" and performed an "immersive personal performance in a dream".

Even now, I still don’t know whether his work was in vain or not, and I don’t know what the effect is.

Of course, this function of the system can only be used on him as the host - in fact, this function was originally designed to facilitate the communication between the system and the host. It can be said that Xi Haiqingdou has made such a great use of it.

Finally, I need to thank Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru for their tacit cooperation.

If the two of them didn't insist on waking him up, or if they didn't say anything about his "abnormality" after he woke up, or if they got to the bottom of it... it would be a bit troublesome for Saikai Haruto.

If Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru had not insisted on waking him up, his "stage" would only be half built and the play would only be half performed; if his "long sleep" was mentioned, Saikai Haruto would have to use more acting skills to "actively" bring up the topic of "dreaming", which would appear to be more deliberate; if one had to get to the bottom of it... it wouldn't be much of a trouble for Saikai Haruto, but for Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, it might cause them some unnecessary pain in the future.

That's not what Xi Hai Qing Dou wanted.

Here we have to thank Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru for their understanding and trust in "Igarashi Yuuki"...which allowed Saikai Haruto to take their reactions into account in his own plan.

This is the "stage" he built for Hanayamain Haruna, for the comics, and for the audience of the forum. The most important play is performed for his "audience", not for Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru - Saikai Haruto has always remembered this.

So just treat this matter as an "unexpected dark history of Igarashi Yuuki" and don't take it too seriously. It's fine for Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru - no matter from the perspective of "Igarashi Yuuki's" character, the script of Saikai Haruto, or from his own selfishness, it's impossible for him to let the two of them really know what that "dream" is.

Thanks to Saikai Haruto's understanding of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, at least for now, the script should still be progressing steadily at his pace.

And this "play" that was not rehearsed in advance also went quite smoothly judging from the reactions of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, and those reactions were exactly what Saikai Haruto had expected.

Finally, there are not so many "accidents" and "drop-outs".

Well... later he can probably start thinking about when to take the next step?
