Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

“Speaking of which, do you even remember who I am?”

“Of course, I remember!”

Chu Bai hurriedly put on an enthusiastic smile:

“You're my good brother Rin'nosuke, whom I long for day and night, how could I possibly forget you…”

“You even got my name wrong, damn it!”

The other party immediately wore a red-faced, angry expression:

“Before talking about longing for me day and night, at least get my name right!”

Chu Bai hurriedly gave a dry laugh:

“Hahaha, of course I know I got it wrong, wasn't I just joking with you? Rin'nosuke, my good brother…”

“Still not right!”

The bespectacled man let out an angry roar.

Chu Bai pondered for two seconds, then tentatively said:

“…Could it be Shin'nosuke?”

“Don't use exhaustive methods to guess other people's names, you bastard!”

The bespectacled man loudly retorted:

“And what the hell is Shin'nosuke?! You've crossed over to the world of One Piece next door!”

Chu Bai quickly corrected:

“Shin'nosuke isn't a character from One Piece, he's a character from Demon Slayer…”

“That's not the point!”

“Ahaha…”

Of course, Chu Bai was teasing him.

After all, Rinnosuke was his computer guide, and he had even engaged in a reversal debate with him at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

There was no way he could forget him.

“Seriously, are you trying to delay my time on purpose?”

Rinnosuke adjusted his glasses and said:

“Seeing that you're not pursuing any female characters, have you already given up?”

Chu Bai sighed helplessly:

“There's no way, I'm really bad at hitting on female characters, I can only rely on my teammates.”

“…Tsk, to actually be teammates with the famous Princess Kaguya, you're really lucky.”

Rinnosuke hummed:

“Never mind, I need to speed up my progress too.”

“But it's really strange. Although this is the Human Village, many familiar women haven't appeared.”

“Like that Fujiwara no Mokou, and Suzunaan's Kosuzu Motoori, as well as Iwakasa Kasen, who often buys steamed buns here… I can't see them anywhere.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Chu Bai asked:

“Then Reimu should be there, right? Did you go to the Hakurei Shrine to ask?”

Rinnosuke shook his head:

“No, the game's activity area should be limited to the village.”

“Because at the village's exit, there's a youkai that's impossible to defeat.”

“Dozens of players have tried to leave the village, but they were all instantly killed by the youkai and revived back in the village.”

“Alright, I won't chat here anymore, I need to meet up with my teammate Tokiko, see you.”

Rinnosuke acted like an NPC pushing the plot, leaving after delivering important information.

And Chu Bai keenly noticed the anomaly.

He opened the map and found that the Human Village only occupied a small portion of the map.

The remaining large area was surrounded by black mist, waiting for him to explore.

“The game didn't state that the activity area is limited to the Human Village.”

“And if it really was limited here, there would be no need to create such a large map.”

Chu Bai pondered in his heart, feeling a little interested in the situation outside the village.

Anyway, he wouldn't be pursuing any female characters, so spending more time on it would yield almost no results.

Why not find a way to take a look outside the village?

Also, Rinnosuke mentioned earlier that many familiar people haven't appeared in the Human Village.

Maybe… the answer to this matter lies outside the village?

Chapter 6/4: I Told You to Pursue Beautiful Girls, But You've Turned It Into a Souls-Like Action Game?

Chu Bai told Kaguya next to him about his idea.

Kaguya immediately nodded, expressing her approval.

“Go, go, you carried me last time, let me carry you this time.”

“And I'm also a little interested in the situation outside the village, remember to tell me if you need help, okay?”

“Got it.”

Having received the affirmation of his teammate.

Chu Bai deviated from the main goal of pursuing beautiful girls and walked towards the village exit.

……

……

At the village exit, there were also a dozen wandering players.

Obviously, they, like Chu Bai, were interested in the outside of the village.

However, on the only way to leave the village, a menacing youkai was blocking the path.

This youkai was several zhang long and several meters tall, with a huge body. Its appearance resembled a mantis, but it also seemed to have many jointed arms like a spider.

Each of its hands held a weapon, whether a knife, a sword, an axe, or a halberd.

And as Chu Bai approached, a health bar like a boss's exclusive one appeared above its head.

[Dissector Krieg (Boss)]

[LV.100]

[HP: 9999/9999]

“?”

Looking at the opponent's exaggerated attributes.

Chu Bai lowered his head again and looked at the small knife and shield in his hand.

[A Seemingly Ordinary Knife]

[Attack Power: 1]

[A Seemingly Ordinary Wooden Shield]

[Defense Power: 1]

Chu Bai: “…………”

No wonder Old Rin said that this youkai was absolutely invincible.

With these bird-like weapons, it would be a miracle to win!

But after all, being a player, you can revive after death. And because you're only level 1, there's no penalty for dying and losing experience.

These players briefly gathered, and then charged up while shouting.

Since they were already here, they should at least see the monster's methods.

As a result, the dissector raised its front claws and swung the large knife in its hand.

Crack!

-9999

-9999

-9999

Red damage numbers floated from above their heads.

Three players who failed to dodge fell to the ground and went to sleep.

The remaining players continued to charge, but the dissector had many arms.

Another hand holding a halberd swung like this.

Another series of -9999 directly took away all the remaining players.

Two moves, team wipe!

Without saying a word, Chu Bai turned around and ran, intending to find another way out of the village.

……

……

However, he searched for a long time and found nothing else.

Although there were other exits, they couldn't be passed for various reasons, such as construction, broken bridges, collapsed houses, etc.

The merchant road, exclusive to merchants, could only be used by merchants. And the game only lasted ten days, and players basically couldn't become professional merchants within ten days, so this road was obviously not feasible.

To leave the village, you still had to fight the dissector boss to the death.

After wandering around, Chu Bai returned to that place again.

It turned out that several more waves of players couldn't restrain their curiosity and came to try.

Although they still ended up being easily wiped out, Chu Bai noticed something.

“Huh? This boss seems to only use those few fixed attacks from beginning to end?”

Chu Bai's eyes lit up:

“And it doesn't seem to have used any unavoidable full-screen instant kill skills?”

“If it was set to be invincible, wouldn't it be fine to just use a full-screen instant kill in one move?”

“Why bother swinging weapons and using this primitive attack method?”

Seeing that this group of players was completely dead, and there was no one else around.

Chu Bai thought for a while, picked up his small knife and shield, and walked up.

“Gah————”

Entering the alert range, the dissector suddenly let out a crow-like scream.

Even at such a tense moment, Chu Bai couldn't help but want to complain, why does a spider make a crow-like scream!

Swish!

The blade flashed.
