That night, Himu Jieyue had been dreaming.

She dreamed of the sky over a strange city, where the place where the full moon should have been was replaced by a pitch-black black hole, from which countless silt-like things poured out, spreading on the ground with a breath of destruction, and boundless flames ignited .

Then, when the screen turned, she saw a perfectly round and clear beautiful orb lying quietly on top of the scarlet sea of ​​blood and endless demon corpses, shining with dazzling light, but such light was sometimes pure and light, and sometimes dangerous. obscure.

In the end, the black hole and the orb disappeared from her eyes, and she returned to Mihua Town again. On the day when she was 12 years old, she saw her mother, Shino Higurashi again.

A familiar scene.

"Xiaojieyue, do you still remember what to say before each game?"

familiar words.

"Games start!"

familiar person.

"Yes...that's it."

But the smile that mother Higurashi Mao showed to her became strange at this moment.

"Jieyue, you must remember it."

The mother raised her head, looked past the "Sunset and Moon" in the dream, and met the eyes of the real Sunset and Moon watching from the sidelines.

"—must remember it."

At this moment, the mother's face, which had been smiling confidently and proudly, seemed to have tears flickering.

In the next moment, she disappeared as if being wiped away by an eraser from another dimension.

"The end of the moon."

"Jie Yue..."

Higurashi Jieyue was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes.

……

In the early morning, the sun and the moon lifted the quilt and sat up in a daze.

The cold winter wind poured in through the crack of the door, blowing her into a shiver.

She took a deep breath and finally woke up.

"Ugh……"

Higurashi Jieyue covered his forehead, looking very confused.

"Strange...why..."

Why do you have such a strange dream?

That strange black hole and mud, strange demons and orbs, strange... mother?

Why is she dreaming of things she's never seen?

Or...was it a message from her disappearing mother?Is mom trying to tell her something through this dream?

This possibility cannot be ruled out, because my mother has always seemed to be very supernatural and capable of everything. If she had foreseen the future and arranged certain things, through a certain key word or a certain key thing ——For example, the strange magic circle in the warehouse—it is also possible to appear in the dream and give her hints.

But this prompt...isn't it a bit too strange?

"Games start"?What does it mean?

Himu Jieyue missed a beat in his heartbeat, and felt some inexplicable palpitations.

She paused, and tentatively said, "The game is starting?"

Ding--

The weird voice sounded like an auditory hallucination.

It was like the sound of the coin flipped in the sky by my mother back then.

Higurashi Jieyue was stunned, and patted his ear.

"Just now...did I hear something?"

Rimu Jieyue paused, and repeated: "The game is starting?"

Repeat again: "Game on??"

No abnormalities occurred.

...Maybe it's just an illusion.

At this moment, the sunset and the moon are both strange and bewildered.

Thinking to no avail, she didn't continue to worry about it, she got up directly, made the bed, pulled the quilt for Foxnosuke who was sleeping soundly on the table when passing by, and rolled up her sleeves after a quick wash in the bathroom Start cleaning.

It's true that the sun sets and the moon ends a little OCD.

But she has no cleanliness, let alone cleaning.The reason why she cleaned again after cleaning the day before yesterday was entirely because after the heavy snow last night, the entire Higurashi Shrine was covered in snow.

Such a situation cannot be left alone.

Especially on the roof of the warehouse, the snow must be removed, otherwise the heavy snow will collapse the roof, and it will be even more difficult for her to repair it later!

Thinking of the warehouse, Higurashi Jieyue couldn't help but think of the magic circle in the warehouse.

"What the hell is that..."

……

After sweeping the snow on the approach, Higurashi Yutsuki returned to the kitchen, intending to continue sweeping other places after breakfast.

And when Yutsuki Higure put on his apron and was about to cook, Foxnosuke rushed out of the bedroom in a panic: "Master Higurashi Higurashi-sama Higurashi-sama Higurashi... Wow, Higurashi-sama, you are here..." Fox Nosuke breathed a sigh of relief, a little embarrassed, "I seem to have overslept..."

Hi Mu Jieyue shook his head slightly: "It's okay, it's fine anyway."

"Why is there nothing wrong? There is a big event today!!" Honosuke jumped onto the counter, with his front paws resting on Higurashi Yutsuki's arm, and said excitedly, "Today is the day to project the Honmaru! Are you not happy, my lord? Don't you feel impatient?!"

Sunset Jieyue: "...heh, hehe...that's it..."

In fact, she almost forgot.

After yesterday's inexplicable magic circle and a night of inexplicable dreams, Higurashi Yuki completely forgot about the Honmaru projection.

Foxnosuke saw that Higurashi Yuzuki was absent-minded, and immediately jumped up and down anxiously: "Master Higurashi! Don't underestimate the ability of this projection, and don't underestimate the ability of this digitization, this is very remarkable The ability to digitize physical objects can analyze everything in the world. As long as it is in the shrine and covered by the power of digitization, no matter what the object is, adults can see through it at a glance and grasp its important information and composition! And the projected Ability is the key to transforming virtual reality..." Honosuke skipped a few times and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, my lord! Now you can turn on the game console and have a look! You will know how powerful it is if you operate it yourself. ability!!"

Higurashi Jieyue couldn't bear to brush off Fox's kindness, so he took out the game console kindly and turned it on.

But this time, after logging into Honmaru, there are two more options at the top of the game interface:

【shrine】

【projection】

Higurashi Yuzuki first clicked into the shrine, wanting to see what function it is, but unexpectedly, after clicking on it, the game screen changed, and a [-]D floor plan of Higurashi Shrine with a super cute style appeared!

Her eyes were wide open, she looked at the screen on the game console with novelty, and let out a small "wow".

And in the game console, in the kitchen, a small bubble appeared on the head of a pixel figure in a witch costume: "Wow!"

Seeing this scene, Hi Mu Jieyue was slightly taken aback, and suddenly laughed.

As a result, the pixel villains in the game console also floated out small bubbles:

(*^_^*)

"So cute."

Sunset and Moon became happy in an instant.

She zoomed in on the screen, looked at the game modeling carefully, and found that although everything in the game was pixelated, it was very similar, and every detail was lifelike.

When Foxnosuke saw the appearance of Higurashi Kiegetsu, he was immediately startled: "Look, look! It's amazing, right? There's something even more amazing!" Foxosuke patted Higurashi Kiegetsu's arm, "Master Higurashi, try to operate it! Look, isn't there a cleaner in the operation column on the right side of the shrine? Click it and try it!"

Higurashi Jieyue clicked [Clear].

So, in an instant, Higurashi Jieyue felt that the spiritual power in his body was empty, and in contrast, the heavy snow and dust in the Higurashi Shrine was also swept away, clean and bright, and completely new!

Sunset and Moon took a deep breath:

God!Artifact! !

This is the legendary cleaning artifact! ! !

Look at the gleaming floors!Look at the stone bricks that are so clean that there is no snow left!Look at the bright as new windows all around!Look at the snow-free roofs above!

God!God! !

What an amazing shrine management game this is!

She can live for 100 years! !

But... there's still something not so good about it...

Rimu Jieyue looked at his empty chopping board and scratched his face.

"Next time, remember to put away the ingredients you took out..."

There weren't too many ingredients in the first place, but in the moment just now, they were directly cleaned up as garbage, and they didn't know where they were thrown.

Sunset Jieyue felt a little heartbroken about this, but when she thought about this interesting game in her hand, she became happy again.

At this moment, Higurashi Jieyue still remembers eating breakfast, holding the game console and sitting in front of the kotatsu, addicted to the game, unable to extricate herself, and happily played the game.

And through basic observation and operation, Higurashi Jieyue discovered that she can see any detail in the shrine through the game, and even the places that she doesn't quite understand, not only can be clearly displayed in this game, You can also click to view details.

For example, the Well of Bone that has been haunting her.

The wall of the bone-eating well in the shrine was broken by strange vines that grew inexplicably.The weird vines were hard to cut down with a knife, and it was not easy for her to set fire to the shrine, so she had been very distressed about the disposal of these vines.

But this time, when Higurashi Yuzuki clicked on the detailed information next to the Well of Bone Eater in the game, he saw that the status column of the Well of Bone Eater said "Contamination" and the note read "I don't know who The flesh and blood of the ghost king thrown here is extremely dangerous and needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible.” The bottom cleaning fee is 100000 MP.

Higurashi Jieyue clicks up to open his character status: he finds that he is now level 10, only has 1000 points of HP (blood volume/physical strength) and 1000 points of MP (spiritual power/magic power), and wants to click to clean up this weird The flesh and blood of the ghost king may have to continue to upgrade.

And to upgrade a character, you need...

……what?

and many more? ?

That vine turned out to be the flesh and blood of the ghost king? ? ! !

Rimu Jieyue was taken aback for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, realizing that he was not just playing a game at the moment!

She rushed out of the dormitory in two or three steps, and came to the bone eating well, looking at the silent "vines" at the bottom of the well in horror, her scalp was numb, and her back felt cold.

"really……"

Sure enough, her hunch was correct.

This "vine" is really not a good thing! !

But, who is so vicious, casually throwing things at the bottom of other people's shrines? !And is it such a troublesome thing? ! !

No... Think about it carefully, where does the ghost king come from in modern times?Therefore, these flesh and blood were probably thrown from the other end of the well, that is, from the Warring States Period!

It is only through time and space that these "flesh and blood" who have been disconnected from the main body can be so stable and silent, and do not rush out from the bottom of the well to become demons.

But you can't think about all this carefully, and you will have a headache if you think about it carefully, and you will be disturbed by the dangers hidden in it.

——We still have to hurry up and clean it up quickly.

Higurashi Yuzuki rubbed her forehead and let out a sigh of relief, then she picked up the game console and continued to check the situation of Higurashi Shrine.

The problem with Higurashi Shrine is not just the Well of Bone Eater that Higurashi Yutsuki has known for a long time.

It wasn't until the entire Higurashi Shrine was digitized and presented in front of Higurashi Jieyue in the form of a game that she realized that the inside of the Higurashi Shrine was already riddled with holes.Leaving aside the warehouse that keeps popping out the bubbles of "need repair", the torii gates that appear to be damaged can also be put down temporarily, and the worship hall with air leakage can be temporarily ignored, but the most important thing in the shrine— - Yushenmu, there is also a big problem!

The sacred tree is the most powerful sacred tree in the Higurashi Shrine. It can be said that the Higurashi Shrine exists to enshrine this sacred tree.

But now, when Higurashi Jieyue clicked on the sacred tree, he found that the state of the sacred tree turned out to be "dying", and the note column said "The divine power has been withdrawn, and there are 24 days, 16:43:35 before death , can be relieved by injecting spiritual power/magic power.", the cost of "removing the state of mental exhaustion" at the bottom requires 200000 MP!

Higurashi Yuzuki never expected that he would see this, so frightened, he quickly crossed Shimenawa and injected his little spiritual power into Yushenmu.

So the countdown was continued for 3 hours.

——800 spiritual power, three hours!

The sun set and the moon became more and more headache.

"Why did the divine tree lose its power?" Sun Mu Jieyue couldn't figure it out, "It obviously doesn't show any abnormality at all... What happened?"

Foxnosuke shook his head blankly.

"I don't know... But my lord, you look like you are in urgent need of spiritual power~ Do you want to upgrade as soon as possible, increase the upper limit of spiritual power, and increase the total amount of spiritual power?" Speaking of this, Fox Nosuke is cute and cute Throwing a Wink, "Then please turn on the projection of Honmaru, and forge knives in the forging room~"

"Forging knife? Now?"

"That's right! Forging knives in this world, you can only get monetary rewards, but when you forge knives in this pill, in addition to monetary rewards, you can also get plenty of spiritual power feedback! In game terms, this is The upgrade experience of game characters! If you successfully forge a higher-quality knife, you will get more spiritual power, and the faster your character will upgrade, the greater your spiritual power will be, sir, until you can easily control everything... This is a The process of rolling snowballs will become smoother the later you go! So Higurashi-sama, what are you waiting for? Let’s quickly project the Honmaru and start forging the sword!"
