I have found out your real name

Chapter 12 Magical Girl Xinghui, henshin!

Guang looked at Xingchuan warily.

"Is it the witch troop recruited by the association from the imaginary space? What is your purpose for approaching Xiao Wu?"

"Hey hey?! Although I don't understand what you're talking about, how do you know?! Li Wu, is that you? Did you say it?!"

Xing Chuan grabbed Li Wu's collar and dangled it around.

"You calm down."

Li Wu patted her hands away, walked in front of Guang, pointed at Xing Chuan and said, "This is my classmate, named Xing Chuan Kui."

He paused, and continued: "Xingchuan is a... um... supernatural lover. When she was a child, she found mysterious letters left by distant relatives at home, and embarked on the journey of becoming an investigator to fight against unknowable evil things." Journey, I came here today to investigate the seven mysterious disappearing video game stores in Chiyo City."

Aoi Xingchuan: "?"

"So that's how it is." Guang put down his guard, stepped forward and grabbed Xingchuan's hand, "The knowledge of other worlds that comes after people is indeed harmful, please let me help you, Miss Investigator!"

Aoi Xingchuan: "??"

Li Wu coughed lightly: "Then Xingchuan, this is Hori Linguang, he is my childhood sweetheart. Didn't you just say that you have something to ask the boss? Let's go together."

Although Xingchuan still looked puzzled, she followed her advice and led the two towards the counter.

"Little girl, you're back. If you want me to tell you, don't worry about any strange stories. It's a rare day off. Why not enjoy the game with your friends?"

The boss behind the counter is a friendly middle-aged man.

"My friends are also very interested in that story, please tell the boss!"

Xingchuan clasped his hands together, showing a cute smile.

"Hey, there's nothing to say, it's just a boring person's speculation."

The boss pointed the surface of the counter with his finger: "Before this big building was built in this place, it is said that there was an arcade store here."

"It's the kind of small store that costs 10 yuan a time, which is rare now. According to the old people around, it opened in 1981."

"The business was booming at the beginning of the opening, but gradually, fewer and fewer people came, and finally, after six years, it has reached the point where it cannot continue to operate."

"In the end, the owner who was heavily in debt hanged himself in the store. He was still looking forward to the next wave of arcade machines before he died. The land was quickly taken over by other developers."

The boss shrugged his shoulders and concluded: "Okay, it's just such a story that is not interesting at all. Now you should go play, the current arcade is much more interesting than the past."

"Okay, thank you boss."

Xingchuan thanked him, and Li Wu paid for a pile of game tokens.

"This can better express our gratitude." When the three walked away from the counter, Li Wu said so, and he looked at Aoi Xingchuan: "Have you drawn any conclusions?"

"Judging from the boss's words, maybe the truth of the strange rumors circulating on the Internet is like this, but I still feel that there is something wrong."

She glanced at Guang, who seemed to have little interest in the stories the boss told, and said to Li Wu, "Are you here to play today? Then forget about these things and go enjoy your rest day."

Light's eyes visibly brightened.

Li Wu nodded and asked, "Then do you want to..."

At this moment, Xingchuan showed a serious expression that he had seen before.

"Be careful."

If you want to use a closer word to describe it, it is that the world has "liquefied".

Like a wax figure that has been eroded by fire until it melts, the ground, walls, game equipment on the floor, even the surrounding players, and even the light beside Li Wu, except for Xingchuan and himself, everything has lost its real shape. , flowing in all directions in a fluid-like form, the substances in the real world are no longer distinct, but mixed together like egg liquid being stirred.

Then, the vision in front of him became clear again, but the scenery changed.

Just a moment ago, he was inside a modern building made of reinforced concrete, but now he was standing on a street that had changed drastically.

"Light!"

Although he had somewhat guessed what kind of phenomenon he was encountering, he instinctively reacted and cried out worriedly.

"She's fine. We should be the ones who have trouble, classmate Li Wu."

Xingchuan was standing opposite him, she frowned and looked at the surrounding scenery.

Li Wu has also calmed down, and he guessed: "Is it the invasion of monsters from the negative world?"

"That's right." Xingchuan pointed to the tops of the two of them. The sky was the same as what he encountered last time. It was shrouded in a blood-colored light curtain, extending to the end of the street and buckling down like a bowl. .

"I have already opened a barrier to limit their intrusion, but this is the first time I have encountered such a scene change."

"Where are the others?" Li Wu asked.

"They're fine. We are essentially in a space that exists parallel to reality. When we kill the monsters and return to reality, nothing has happened—speaking of it, Li Wu, do you think this Does the street look familiar?"

"That may be because this is the street in front of around1." Li Wu looked at the place where a large entertainment city should have existed. "What we see now may be the past of the 80s."

There was an unremarkable one-story house with a narrow door opening on the right side of the front, from which a downward staircase could be seen.

The wall to the left of the door is covered with portraits of various game characters, the most striking being a huge skeleton with empty eye sockets that seems to be watching everyone who approaches.

Above the door is written the name of the store in crazy fonts.

This is an arcade store.

"So, this is the arcade store that closed down in 87 in the strange story? Woohoo, it's kind of scary."

"You don't feel scared at all in your tone... shall we go in and have a look?"

However, when he made a suggestion, the culprits who caused this accident appeared.

The scene he had witnessed before happened again, and there appeared in the air a monster that seemed to be randomly found from the nightmares of 1 people and then roughly stacked together.

It was still bright red [Negative Realm Monster].

"If I knew it earlier, I would have brought the crowbar with me, now I can only fight hand-to-hand."

The difference is that this time he already has the strength to resist.

"Wait a minute, isn't it time for me to play?"

Hoshikawa Aoi put her hand on the ribbon on her chest.

"Negative Realm Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, the active magical girl, code-named Xinghui, started to clean up the monsters, henshin!"
