When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

In the underground training ground of Kitahara Akatsuki's new home

"Aaaaah..." Universe Overlord and Long Ritian woke up from coma at the same time and found that they were tied up together. The panel indicated that their strength was sealed and they were in a [confined] state.

In this state, even if they leave the game character's body, they will not disappear but remain where they are.

Of course, they can also control the game characters to commit suicide, but in that case, their number of resurrections this week will be capped and they won't even be able to log into the game.

The two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Alas, let’s take it one step at a time.

"Swish!" The electromagnetic door opened, and Kitahara Akira and the other two walked in.

"Hey, you're awake?" Kitahara Xiao looked at the two with interest. "Tell me, why did you run away when you saw me?"

"Your Excellency," the smarter cosmic overlord took the initiative to negotiate, "We are just... a little afraid."

Although he is a player, he dare not speak out against the other party. Previously, a friend of his provoked a disaster-level NPC, and was hunted down by the other party and his subordinates, and his account was almost banned.

"Fear? What are you afraid of?" Kitahara Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Just because I looked at you guys?"

"Uh..." The Universe Overlord couldn't think of any good reason for a moment.

Seeing this, Kitahara Akatsuki turned his head and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, "Yukinoshita, I leave it to you."

"Got it, Kitahara-kun."

Under the gazes of Yuzhou Daba and Long Ritian, Yukino Yukino placed her hands on their heads and instantly used her ability.

The two cosmic tyrants felt their bodies unable to move for a moment, and the game pop-up window displayed [Abnormal State: Mind Reading]

After a while, Yukinoshita Yukino finished reading.

There was a hint of surprise in her cold eyes, and after taking a deep look at the two Universe Overlords, she told Kitahara Akira and Kato Megumi the information she had read.

A hint of astonishment flashed across Kitahara Xiao's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it calmly.

He looked at the Universe Overlord and the other man with a normal expression. "Why do you know the names of my two companions? You even know my subordinates?"

"Because..." The Universe Overlord answered stiffly, "Because they look very similar to several people I know, and I just made a mistake."

"Really?" Kitahara Akatsuki's eyes were filled with distrust.

He had searched on the interstellar network and knew that the two Universe Overlords were "immortals" who could be resurrected.

He can be resurrected after death, his stance is relatively chaotic and neutral, his base is huge, and he can call out the names of anime characters that do not belong to this universe. Kitahara Akatsuki can only think of one result.

"You are 'players', right? This universe... is your game?"

The next moment, Universe Overlord and Long Ritian's pupils trembled, and they both looked at Kitahara Xiao with incredible eyes.

An NPC actually revealed the truth about this universe himself?!

It's not like players haven't tried to tell these AI-generated NPCs in the game before, "You are game characters, and this universe is our game."

But without exception, whenever any information that may involve the real world appears, the game system will take the initiative to intervene.

When explaining verbally, it seems to the NPC that the player is losing consciousness and starting to go crazy.

If it is written on paper, the system will automatically erase it without leaving any trace.

And now, the NPC in front of me actually broke the fourth wall on his own initiative! Is this an Easter egg arranged by the game system to break the fourth wall or...

"It seems I was right." Seeing the two people's reaction, Kitahara Xiao also took a deep breath.

Player? The water in this universe is much deeper than he imagined.

"Well, so these two are the real Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi?" Long Ritian couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah," Kitahara Akira nodded. "She's the heroine from "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected" and "How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend."

"!!!"

Having guessed it for sure, Long Ritian couldn't bear it any longer. He didn't even care that he was still tied up. He jumped in front of the two women with excitement on his face.

"I'm your fan!" He said somewhat enthusiastically, "Yukinoshita... and Kato, can you sign an autograph for me?"

"Ounegai!" He knelt down on the spot.

Yukinoshita Yukino pulled her cheek. She was not good at dealing with this kind of social bullshit.

Finally, Kato Megumi couldn't help but pull him up and said, "It's okay to sign, but please don't be like this, it will be very distressing for us."

"Wow, you are worthy of being called Saint Hui!" Long Ritian burst into tears.

The two women looked at each other and sighed silently.

Although they both know the plot and characters of the anime, compared to the calm and peaceful Kitahara Akatsuki, this guy is just...

On the other side, Kitahara Akatsuki and the Universe Overlord

"Well, now that you know the truth, sir...what do you think of this universe?" The Overlord of the Universe asked with some concern.

After all, no matter how big your heart is, you will feel a sense of emptiness when you know that you and the world you live in are artificially created, and the past and the future have already been planned.

"What?" Kitahara Akira said calmly, "It doesn't matter to us. We are not born in this universe. Its rules cannot affect us."

"Didn't you also say that? The mechanism in this universe where players cannot reveal information to NPCs doesn't work for us, which means that in its program, the three of us are at least higher level than the NPCs."

The cosmic tyrant thought for a moment and said, "If you are not a character created by the game, then you are an anime character? An anime character who traveled through time?"

Kitahara Akira shook his head. "My name is Kitahara Akira, and I'm not a character in any anime."

"Wait a minute." The Overlord of the Universe discovered the blind spot, and his pupils widened instantly. "Since you are neither an anime character nor a game character, then you are..."

"Shh!" Kitahara Xiao made a gesture to silence him.

The Universe Overlord quickly covered his mouth to show that he understood, but he couldn't stop the surprise in his heart.

Being able to witness such a case with my own eyes is worth dying for!

"Okay, I've answered all your questions, now it's time to talk business." Kitahara Akira smiled and patted his shoulder

"Business?" The cosmic overlord suddenly had a bad feeling.

He forced a smile. "Sir, do you mean...?"

"You don't think I revealed my identity just to show off, do you?" Kitahara Akira smiled. "Everything in the world has a price secretly marked on it."

Under the gaze of the Cosmic Overlord, several shadow soldiers sneaked into his shadow to act as monitors.

'Alas,' he sighed silently in his heart.

Still can't escape
