Nightmare Lord's Virtual Game

Led by the white-haired beauty Huimo Lihuazi, the Scarlet Sword came to an empty house.

This was not a new house. The interior decoration was very shabby and the wood was scarred, but there was no garbage or dust in the room, and the straw mat was also new... Wait, straw mat?

Don't you give me a bed? How can I sleep well at night... Well, even if I really sleep in the game, it's probably just a fast-forwarding time.

On the way back, the Scarlet Sword found that half of the reporter's car was leaning on the side of the road. After asking, it turned out that the car accidentally drove into the mud just now. It was hard to drive the car out by stepping on the accelerator, but it lost control and rushed to the side of the road...

Now the car has broken down and can't start. The cameraman tried to repair the car before, but failed.

The broken-down car attracted the attention of the Xiushui people, including Muro Takumi, Yamawaki Tae and other Xiushui people came here.

If the car cannot drive away, it means that the reporter and the cameraman are likely to stay here overnight. For some reason, Scarlet Sword saw that the atmosphere of the crowd was a little depressed.

"Well, to be honest... it is not good for both parties to let outsiders stay in Xiushui... Grandma, are there any other empty rooms?" asked the room craftsman.

"Originally, one room was prepared, but it has been given to Meeko... The Yuan family has lent it to Scarlet Sword. To be honest, this is the last one. The other rooms either have holes or broken walls... They do not meet the conditions of material taboos." The old 250 grandmother sighed.

"Material taboos... are they about taking a bath before going to bed?"

"Yes... If it is foggy, you must wash your body, stay indoors alone, and sleep until dawn." The old grandmother said, and everyone else was silent.

"Does it have to be like that?" Scarlet Sword continued to ask.

"Of course, an outsider who doesn't know the situation will..."

"That——"

Before he finished speaking, another person appeared here.

It was the female college student Chie Minoru Serizawa. Scarlet Sword had a deep impression of her when they were in the cafeteria before. Chie Minoru said that there was still a vacant room in the dormitory, but the old lady seemed to disagree with lending the student dormitory room to other people.

Things became very troublesome, because the rescue company claimed that it would take a long time to get here. Even if they set off now, they would have to wait until late at night to arrive. The mountain road at night was very dangerous, so the female reporter and the cameraman had to stay here for one night.

Scarlet Sword watched the development of things, without saying a word, he was thinking.

If it was a plot mode similar to "Baldur's Gate", there should be options for players to choose at this time, but obviously, this myth challenge adopted a method similar to "deep role-playing mode". If the player does not take the initiative to interrupt, then in this matter, he will only be a bystander and wait for the final outcome.

For female reporters and cameramen who often go out to interview, although it is not common, it is certainly not uncommon to spend the night in the car.The result is also likely that the two stayed in the car overnight.

If it were the real world, Scarlet Sword would think that staying in the car overnight would be no big deal, however, this is a game, and something is bound to happen in this village!

It is extremely dangerous to stay in the car late at night!

Having this idea, on the one hand, is based on the understanding of "games". There is a high probability of murder in detective games, so the two people in the car are very dangerous... For example, the murderer deliberately killed two people in order to create panic, or because the two people who stayed in the car overnight witnessed the murderer being silenced...

Another reason is the reminder of Li Huazi at the end of the previous chapter.

[If the evening fog rises, the feast will come].

When the fog rises, you must wash your body, stay indoors, and sleep until dawn.

Although Scarlet Sword thinks that this is a local custom and outsiders don’t necessarily have to abide by it... However, it is indeed the first time I have heard of such a strange custom.

In fact, it’s not that there are no houses in the village. The old lady said before that the holes in those houses are because the walls are broken... In other words, there are houses in the village, but they cannot be rented because they have problems.

Because they do not meet the conditions of the taboo.

Assuming that violating the taboo may lead to death, it is best to ensure the lives of both people. On the one hand, the reporter is an important source of information, and it is a pity to die. On the other hand, the possibility that the reporter is a murderer is very small.

"Well... I think it’s not good for a man and a woman to live in a car... Since there is a room in the dormitory, it’s not a bad idea to provide it to Miss Mamiya for a temporary stay... Didn’t Li Huazi say before that Xiushui Village has the custom of welcoming tourists?"

In the end, everyone adopted the suggestion of the Scarlet Sword and let the female reporter live in the dormitory. As for the cameraman Hashimoto... there was really no place, so he could only sleep in the car.

Although the Scarlet Sword felt that it was not okay to give the cameraman Hashimoto a room, even if it was a broken room, this was strongly opposed by others... After all, they were just villagers who had just moved in, and the Scarlet Sword's opinion would not be taken seriously. The reason why the female reporter was able to move into the dormitory was more because Chie Serizawa did not object, and even supported it.

It seemed that there was really no house available for Hashimoto in this village. The cameraman didn't care about not having a house. The Scarlet Sword could only be helpless. This was all he could do.

Afterwards, everyone came to the cafeteria to eat. To be honest... The food here was really not delicious. The cafeteria provided pickled animal meat, but the workmanship was rough. A pile of meat slices like a small mountain was piled on a large bowl of brown rice... Just the appearance was not appetizing, not to mention that the pickled animal meat had a foul smell!

After eating the heavenly food provided by Food Wars, this must be hell!

However, facing the attention of other villagers, the Scarlet Sword had to eat it.

——What are you afraid of? I have eaten all the dark dishes in the anime Shokugeki no Soma!

……

It was evening, and the surroundings were slowly dyed by the setting sun.The Scarlet Sword was enjoying the sunset scenery of the countryside. At this moment, a singing voice came from the side.

"The salt collectors are returning from the wild waves!!"

But the singing was very strange. Maybe it was out of tune. I couldn't really tell what she was singing. But at the end of the chapter, Li Huazi sang the real song.

"If the evening mist rises, the wild feast will come. The raccoon dogs carry the meat of the beasts and look east and west. The unclean people will return from the underworld. This world will not tolerate them. The people of the underworld... one person per day will be hanged."

"--Until the sky clears."

A gloomy voice suddenly came to my ears.

That was the female college student Chizhi Shi who was dyed red by the sunset. No, it was Chizhi Shi who was covered in blood!

"Woo-wah--"

The sudden appearance of the person who donated blood, coupled with the strange singing, scared the Scarlet Sword.

"You went to dismember the beast, didn't you?" Li Huazi, who was standing by, seemed to know the reason and asked directly.

The two started chatting. Scarlet Sword wanted to interrupt, but didn't know what to say, so he could only listen to the conversation between the two.

Then, at some point, Scarlet Sword was surprised to find that the air around him began to be filled with white...

"Fog? When exactly?"

Scarlet Sword widened his eyes.

The thick fog flowed silently into the square.

"——Everyone, it's foggy!!"

Chizhi Minoru screamed, and with the scream, the whole village seemed to be filled with a deadly tension!
