[Comprehensive] The Curse of Love at First Sight

Kurosawa followed Saiki's footsteps to a lush forest.

It is far away from human habitation, and within a hundred miles you can only hear the crisp birdsong and the rustling of the leaves in the breeze, which is refreshing.

While sniffing the fragrance of soil and vegetation in the air, Kurosawa asked Qi Mu who was standing in an open space in a relaxed tone: "This is just an ordinary forest, right? Where is the 'place' you mentioned?"

Qi Mu looked at the surrounding scenery, then turned around and nodded to him: "This is it."

here?

Kurosawa glanced around suspiciously, and what caught his eyes was indeed an ordinary scenery, and his expression became more confused.

"Underground." As if seeing his deep doubts, Qi Mu pointed to the ground, and finally stopped playing riddles: "I can clearly see that there is a wide space underground with a perspective, and it is estimated that some mechanism will be used to open it. "

"Have you never gone in?" Nodding, Kurosawa grasped the information keenly.

"Not at all." Qi Mu shook his head calmly: "Both Bailan and I can see the internal structure without going underground, so we haven't touched this place yet, but it's time to go down and have a look."

Kurosawa smiled knowingly: "So I'm still the first person to be able to see what's going on inside with my own eyes. What an honor."

After uttering these words in a mocking manner, he stopped talking, but squatted down on the ground secretly looking at the surrounding terrain, and touched the ground tentatively with his hands from time to time, looking very serious in his study. .

But Qi Mu, who was about to start, paused slightly: "What are you doing?"

"Look for an agency, you idiot." Kurosawa gave him a helpless look: "Otherwise, how can we get down?"

A person with super powers who is called a fool: "..."

After a difficult silence for three seconds, he finally coughed lightly at Heisawa who was still poking out his buttocks all over the floor looking for mechanisms, and said honestly: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Under Kurosawa's suspicious gaze, he stretched out his palm and waved towards the open space in front of him. In an instant, the land that was originally intact broke into intricate clods as if it had been crushed by a huge force.Immediately afterwards, Qi Mu's palm flipped upward again, and these clods of soil seemed to lose gravity and floated in the air out of thin air, and then slowly fell to the open space in the distance.

This time, the originally intact underground space was smashed out of a passage, and there was no need to find any mechanism at all.

Seeing the scene of the earth shaking mountains and rivers, Kurosawa twitched the corners of his mouth somewhat blackly, thinking that a person like him who relies on his brain to win is nothing but a scum in front of Qi Mu's superpower.

Difficulties?

It doesn't matter, solve it with superpowers!

Whether it's mind-reading, instant movement, strange power, telepathy, perspective, petrification, we have everything, you can choose!

It deeply stimulated Kurosawa's envious and jealous heart!

He forcibly took a breath, temporarily suppressed his anger, followed Qi Mu and silently jumped into the pit, and came to the underground hole.

And when he looked up to observe the basement for the first time, his whole body was shaken like an electric shock, his pupils constricted and froze in place.

There is no reason, it is too shocking.

This is a rectangular space with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters, and it is decorated with ordinary concrete walls, but there are countless display screens densely mapped on the walls, and this type of display screen is similar to what Kurosawa used to What I have seen is different. It seems to be projected by a holographic simulation. Once touched by a finger, it can only penetrate through it, as illusory as a bubble.

And all the display screens reflect different scenery outside, including forests and pavilions, covering almost the entire Tokyo.The strange thing is that on the innermost wide wall, there is only one display screen, which is about four or five times the size of the other display screens. It will be noticed at a glance, but it is different from other display screens at this moment. , the screen is black.

Kurosawa stared at the screen in doubt for a long time, and his intuition told him that there seemed to be important information hidden here, and he could only give up when he was sure that no information could be obtained on the screen, and then carefully scanned the other small screens , some scenes inside made him feel very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Just as he was trying to remember where he saw it, Qi Mu, who was silently observing everything around him, suddenly pointed to a display screen in the middle and said, "Look here."

Hearing this, Kurosawa hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, and happened to bump into a small two-story building with a red roof in his field of vision, which made him startled suddenly, and blurted out emotionally: "This is not... Is it your home!"

"Yes." Qi Mu's expression didn't change in any way, obviously he already knew: "Look at these display screens again."

He pointed out familiar scenes to Kurosawa one by one: "This is the school, Haiteng's home, Rando's home, Zhaoqiao's home..."

The series of information made Kurosawa a little dizzy. He resisted the possibility that he realized in his heart, put his hand on his forehead, and inadvertently moved his eyes down, but found another scene that shocked him even more.

"...This is?!" He looked at the familiar house near Qi Mu's house, and memories from long ago flooded in: "The house I used to live in!"

"Since you left, no one else has lived in this building." Qi Mu added suggestively.

Kurosawa immediately understood what he meant: "Does that mean that all players who come here and important people in this world will be monitored...but what is the purpose of these people?"

He frowned with a headache, only felt that things were in a mess, and he couldn't make sense of them, and more things would emerge at the end of his exploration.

"There's a computer over there, let's take a look." Just then, Qi Mu gave another clue.The computer he refers to actually does not conform to the computer that everyone knows strictly, and it is also a concept that has never been seen before. From the perspective of Kurosawa, it is a black cube that can float in the air strangely. A golden light shone all over him.

"...Do you know how to use this?" Kurosawa couldn't help but look at Qi Mu in admiration when he saw that Qi Mu was manipulating the cube to move continuously.

"I don't know." It was Qi Mu who answered him and shook his head straightforwardly: "So I'm trying."

Kurosawa: "...Really, go for it."

Squeezing out these words dryly, he maintained a smirk, then turned around with a wooden face and left.

Anyway, he can't help here, so it's better to search for other clues.

However, all that can be seen in this space is the display screen and the circular iron pillar supported in the middle, and there is nothing suspicious about it.Kurosawa stepped forward curiously and took a look, only to find that there were countless black iron picks as thin as needles stuck on the iron pillars, because the pillars and the iron picks were both black, so you might not be able to notice it if you didn't observe carefully.

Do these iron signs have any important function?

Kurosawa fell into deep thought unconsciously.

He tentatively touched one end of the iron stick with his fingertips, and the moment his skin touched, he suddenly felt a chill go deep into his bone marrow, which made him shiver uncontrollably.Immediately, the largest display screen facing away from him flickered for no reason, and then completely lit up again in the next second.

Kurosawa was taken aback by the strong light, he looked back quickly on reflex, and then was taken aback for a moment.

I saw that the face reflected on the screen was actually my own face!

He couldn't help taking a half step back, and sure enough, he also saw himself on the monitor taking a half step back, and the background behind him was exactly what the room looked like at the moment.

...Is there surveillance here too?

This is all the possibilities that Kurosawa can think of.

"No." At this moment, Qi Mu suddenly came to his side, his usual calm expression seemed a little dignified, as if he had discovered something bad: "This is not surveillance."

He looked at Kurosawa quietly, his eyes gradually moved down and focused on a point on Kurosawa's right arm.

Noticing his gaze, Kuisawa was startled again. Countless possibilities were quickly skipped in his mind, and crossed out one after another, until finally only one remained.

A creepy conjecture.

"The content on this monitor..." he said bitterly: "It is the monitoring content of the AI ​​on my wrist."

"It will only be projected when I touched the iron sign just now, that is to say... only when the radio wave emitted by the player wearing AI appears in this world is sensed, the screen will respond."

"It is very possible that these iron signs are the basic devices for receiving radio waves."

"And it's probably because I was transferred here by relying on your ability, and the radio waves didn't track it in time, so it will only take effect when I touch it."

"That's right." Qi Mu looked away from the AI, thinking of the unique information he had checked just now, a thousand layers of panic surged in his heart: "All the display screens here reflect the player's every move, and It was left unattended, probably because..."

"Our behavior will be monitored by the 'he' who set up the game, right." Kurosawa took a breath, thinking that wearing this AI would be monitored by a pair of eyes all the time, and he felt numb all over, I feel uncomfortable.

"There is a deeper level." Qi Mu frowned, and added the unfinished information: "What if this is not a person watching?"

"...What do you mean." Kurosawa's voice trembled: "You mean... we are actually being watched by many people?"

"The word surveillance is not very accurate." Qi Mu looked at him with heavy eyes, and said every word: "If our actions will be broadcast to 'their' world 24 hours a day from these screens, and what we do 'Mission' is nothing more than a reality show for the entertainment of the masses."

"..." Kurosawa suddenly opened his eyes wide. Thinking of this possibility, he felt that all the strength in his body was exhausted, leaving only deep fear: "How do you know...the computer?"

"Yes, I just investigated the information in the computer, which records the detailed information about me and my friends in this world, as well as a detailed plan."

"Choose suitable candidates for each world, set a lot of tasks for them, and observe how they complete the tasks to please the public. If this player gets more praise, he will be allowed to enter a more difficult world."

"We're just clowns in their eyes."

As these words fell, Qi Mu's palms were clenched suddenly, and an emotion called anger made him almost unable to control his abilities.It was the first time he was insulted so much, his eyes were stained with resentment, and the aura around him became fierce in an instant.

After a while, he seemed to notice that Kuisawa was frowning in discomfort, and quickly restrained his momentum, trying to suppress his emotions that were about to explode.

Kurosawa silently looked at Qi Mu who was in a very bad mood, and also sighed leisurely. He understood Qi Mu's mood very well at the moment, and even he couldn't help but want to find out the person who treated them like a monkey, and let the other party Also get a taste of being watched.

So he asked with a hint of expectation: "Can you find 'them', Qi Mu?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Mu's face became even more serious: "According to the radio waves, I can only trace here. As for the world of 'theirs', I have no ability to detect them. I can find the person I want from different worlds." Only Bai Lan can do it, but Bai Lan has no clue at all."

"That's it..." Kuisawa couldn't help but started to have a headache again: "Then what should we do now, destroy this pillar?"

"Exactly. If you destroy this radio wave receiving device, it should not be transmitted to other worlds." Qi Mu stroked his chin and pondered for a while: "It's just a theoretical thing, and it still needs to be practiced."

"Then destroy it first...wait."

In the middle of speaking, Kurosawa suddenly paused as if he remembered something: "If you destroy it, you won't be able to come to the lounge...that's not okay."

"Well, so we're going to find someone else to do this experiment first."

"...Then let's go to the lounge tonight and tell everyone about it. I think they must also be very eager for the truth."

"it is good."

Putting this topic aside for a while, Kurosawa suddenly felt that the so-called truth was so heavy that he could hardly breathe. Fortunately, he was always surrounded by a group of lovely partners. If everyone supported each other... What difficulties can be knocked down.

"...Let's go back."

Finally, taking a deep look at this disgusting place, Kurosawa's eyes flashed a trace of complexity, and he put his hand on Saiki's extended palm, and then there was another flower in front of his eyes.

The two of them had already left the forest and came to the park near the apartment.

Kurosawa forcefully vomited out the uneasiness in his heart, and looked into the distance with confused eyes: "It feels like everything I've experienced is like a dream, so illusory and unreal."

Qi Mu stood beside him quietly, without speaking, just accompanied him to feel the warm wind blowing on his face.

But Kurosawa felt the warmth in his chest for no reason.

"Well, now I have found a way to get out of the game, which is considered a great achievement." The corners of his lips twitched and he regained his original vitality, but he suddenly mentioned another thing: "By the way, since our actions have been Watching, then the strategy proposed just now has also been revealed!"

He quickly patted his forehead in distress: "What if 'they' have made some preparations in advance, what should I do?"

"Don't worry." Qi Mu stared at the void with cold eyes, and the curved corners of his lips vaguely outlined a trace of terror.

"If 'they' dare to come..."

"—I wouldn't mind seeing them off at the end."
