Nightmare Lord's Virtual Game

After changing clothes in the room, the female college student, Chieji Serizawa, invited Shesta to her room.

Out of instinct, Shesta quickly scanned the entire room.

The room was almost empty. It was a single apartment of about 8 square meters. There was a low table in the center, a refrigerator at the door, a shoulder bag in the corner, and two bookshelves full of a strong sense of age. However, there was nothing on the bookshelves.

"Okay, the [Shesta] who was in trouble, you've worked hard~!"

"Cheers~"

In the room, Chieji Serizawa took out a beer can from the refrigerator, and Shesta was not polite and opened the beer can to toast.

The refreshing taste of carbonic acid and the stimulating bitterness instantly spread throughout the body through the tip of the tongue!

Although she had already felt the restoration of food in the nightmare world before, the unique taste of beer once again made Shesta feel the power of the virtual world.

She understood very well why so many players were saving money to buy the expensive Ultimate Edition after buying the Basic Edition and the Enhanced Edition - the virtual world is a paradise for foodies!

Although she became a pauper all of a sudden, Shesta felt lucky that the first helmet she bought was the Ultimate Edition... I heard that the Basic Edition helmet tasted the same no matter what you ate in the game... How scary!

By the way, Shesta's nightmare name in the game is [Siesta] (Spanish)... I heard that the game name is not a real name, but Shesta is actually a real name, but a code name for Shesta.

"Wow, it's delicious! I live to drink!" The girl drank a big sip generously and sighed.

"...You are still a college student, it shouldn't be that bad."

- What's wrong with this uncle-like tone? Shesta couldn't help but complain.

"Indeed! I have not despaired of love and the future!"

"By the way, you will be employed soon, right?"

"Oh, stop talking! Don't waste your mood for drinking!"

Chizhi Minoru smiled and took a big sip of wine. It seems that she can drink a lot.

-Whether it is the content of the conversation, the girl's expression, or her movements, it is hard to tell that the other party is an NPC. She is just like a real human.

This kind of AI technology has never been seen in any game by Shesta. It is more powerful than any AI company in the world today, and even more powerful than the super intelligent robot launched by Aiya Group before.

Even other games in Nightmare World do not have such intelligent NPCs. Obviously, Nightmare World used more advanced AI technology in this Myth Challenge.

“Version 2.0… the AI ​​era… maybe stories like The Terminator will be possible in the future…〃～ 〃～ …”

The AI ​​in the nightmare world is not only capable of complex conversations, but also has corresponding actions and facial expressions during the conversation.It seems to have emotions...

AI has an emotional system, this...

Is it really just AI, or is the other party played by a real person?

Xiesta really wants to believe that this is not AI, but the latter. However, the myth challenge of the Nightmare World has tens of millions of players challenging it at the same time. Obviously, the Nightmare World cannot hire so many real people to play the NPCs in the game!

Although it is hard to believe, the Nightmare Company has developed full-immersion virtual technology, and now adding an AI technology... It seems that it is not too strange.

——Hu, don't think too much, this is not a problem that needs to be thought about now.

Xiesta, who came back to her senses, reminded herself that the most important thing now is to complete this myth challenge-although she doesn't know how the game progress of other detective players is, it is better to rely on oneself than on others, and let the Nightmare World know the [true strength of the famous detective]!

"I have a question... To you, I am just a stranger who claims to be lost, but you just casually invited a stranger to your room and drank alcohol... Do you really have no sense of crisis?" Shesta took a sip of wine and asked seriously.

Her face had begun to turn red, could it be because she drank too much at the beginning?

Shesta looked at the girl carefully. Her facial features were very delicate, exuding a pure atmosphere, a simple sweatshirt, and elegant light makeup.

"Hmm..."

Chizhi took another sip of wine, and her slender throat gurgled... Then she looked at Shesta intently.

Like the eyes of a hunter when hunting.

"It seems not." Chizhi said.

“…”

“Then, Chie Serizawa QUIZ.”

“Ah?”

“Question! Why doesn’t Chie Serizawa have a sense of crisis? If you answer correctly, I’ll give you a big gift. If you answer incorrectly, I’ll chop you into meat sauce.”

“Eh? Isn’t this just ordinary chit-chat?”

The sudden death flag surprised Shesta.

However, nothing happened that night. Chie soon got drunk and fell asleep. With nothing to do, Shesta chose to push the time to the next day.

…

The next morning, when Shesta walked out of the apartment door, she found a white-haired woman in strange clothes standing on the grass in the forest, but before she had time to take a closer look, she quickly walked away.

Shesta followed her footsteps to a settlement. This was obviously a small village built beside the mountain, but for some reason, there were many large and small artificial standing rocks on both sides of the road.

At this time, a strange folk song was broadcast from the loudspeaker in the central square of the settlement. An old lady walked out of a nearby house, facing the standing rock on the roadside, and prayed with her hands clasped together - for some reason, her face was covered with an inverted triangle of white cloth.

Feeling a little creepy, Shesta returned to the apartment and met two people in school uniforms.The young boys Oribe Yasunaga and Nioda Jinwang, and another timid girl Makijima Haru. After a little questioning, Shesta learned that they were students attending the high school on the top of the mountain and usually lived in this student apartment. But they reminded Shesta vaguely that there seemed to be some very xenophobic and conservative old people in the village.

After that, Chizhi Minoru woke up and told Shesta that when she met her last night, the area around the stream at the foot of the mountain was called "Sarae". In the legend of the village, the stream is the passage for the dead to return to the world from the underworld, so it is quite unlucky. As for the standing rocks he saw in the village just now, they are worshiped by the villagers as guardian gods.

While talking, Chizhi Minoru took Shesta to the village cafeteria. Hearing that Shesta was a distant relative of Fujira Village and was going to move to Fujira Village recently, they all showed surprised expressions. However, when they heard that Shesta came from Sarae, they all showed more or less fear and hostility.

The villagers advised Xiesta to leave the village as soon as possible. It happened that a reporter came to interview today, and she could take the reporter's car back to Fujira Village later.

However, unfortunately, when Xiesta found the reporter, she found that the two were staring blankly near the vehicle that had rushed out of the roadside. Because they were not familiar with the road conditions, the cameraman and driver accidentally crashed into the car, and the car broke down.

It seemed that the car could not be repaired for a while.

"¨" ¨" This development... It seems that something will happen..."

My destination should be Fujira Village, but now it seems that I can't go back to Fujira Village, and this so-called Xiushui Village seems to hide some secrets, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing.

"... Could it be that the destination of this myth challenge is not Fujira Village, but this Xiushui Village? ”

This is not impossible, otherwise, the game would not have arranged the plot to trap Shesta here. (Liao Nuohao (Liao Nuohao))

“It seems that it is necessary to inquire about the situation here... A mother-in-law seemed to have said before that the dead who came from Saranaga came from the underworld... and Chizhi Shi’s attitude is also very strange, as if he is preventing me from further contact with the villagers...”

After making up her mind, Shesta prepared to collect intelligence. However, the miserable Shesta found that the villagers were very wary of her and could not get any useful information at all, even Chizhi Shi refused to say more.

Just When Shesta was worrying about what to do, the sky slowly turned red. Shesta realized that the square that was crowded with people just now was now empty.

The sound of wind, frogs, and the creaking sound of car repairs, other than that, there was no other sound, as if there was no one in the space.

Shesta suddenly felt uneasy.

——Must escape immediately

If you don't escape now, you will never be able to escape again.

That's the feeling.

However——

A thick fog appeared and surrounded the entire village.

Shesta has neverI didn’t expect that the horrible, weird and crazy things that were going to happen in this village next!
