Chapter 618

As a result, Yili was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Only then did Gao Hai realize that the performance he listened to at Fanxing last night was obviously so close. As a result, Yili didn't realize that the guitarist was Eriko Asamoto herself. Where did this guy's observation skills as a Red Moon level player go?

At the same time, Ichiri herself reacted belatedly. She was first surprised that Eriko came to perform in the stars, and then she became more or less jealous.

"What's wrong with rock music? My parents have always supported me."

The girl waved her little fists as if to cheer Eriko up, but Gao Hai was sure that if Ichiri was really pushed out and asked her to argue with Haeiya Keiko, this girl would definitely declare her surrender in the first round.

"Ah, wait, it doesn't seem to be because of rock and roll, but because Eriko wears a wig, strange clothes, and tattoos during the performance. It seems that the dean is disgusted with this art style."

However, after Gao Hai listened for a while and confirmed that Keiko Haeiya was not blaming rock music per se but Eriko's non-mainstream dress, Ichiri immediately gave up any intention of supporting Eriko and even nodded in deep agreement.

"It's really not good to dress like that."

Although he is also playing rock music, Goto Kazuri, who is still in the category of good boy rock compared to the crazy group of European and American rock circles, gave this evaluation of Eriko's outfit.

It was also at this time that Gao Hai and Yili walked to the entrance of the dining room. Under the light, the two could clearly see the men and women sitting around a large table. Alice and Chiyo Haeiya were eating heartily. The former butcher washed his hands and sat next to Chiyo, adding a chicken drumstick to her meal. So Alice next to her immediately waved her little hands to express her dissatisfaction, and the butcher had no choice but to add another chicken drumstick to Alice. Then Hachiwu Chiyo's younger brother Hachiwu Ryohei began to cry.

Eriko was helplessly explaining to Haeiya Keiko that she was just a temporary replacement for the band's guitarist who was unavailable, and she only put on those costumes temporarily to unify the band's style. But Keiko, who had deeply suspected that Eriko was a bad learner, did not accept her argument and resolutely started a series of sermons. Eriko's expression became more and more helpless as she spoke. After sighing, Keiko thought she was not listening seriously and began to lecture louder.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this while eating."

Koji Morihara, who walked into the dining room, smiled helplessly when he saw this and quickly persuaded Keiko Haeiya to calm down.

He then opened his backpack and shared the toys he brought from the big city with the children who had finished dinner. As a result, Alice and Hachiya Chiyo, who had been eating just now, immediately wanted to drop their bowls and go over, but the sharp-eyed Keiko grabbed them one by one. He held his head and dragged him back to the dinner table, followed by the third round of preaching to the two children.

It’s really lively.

Looking at the noisy adults and children, Gao Hai couldn't help but think in his heart.

Yili, who was holding Gao Hai's hand, just stood silently. The two of them just watched this group of people with different surnames and blood origins, who were always noisy but always smiling, just like a real family. Live an ordinary and extraordinary day every day.

[This is the first Alice. Hum, it’s really completely different. Will the teacher like Alice like this? 】

The ethereal figure of Alice emerged from the shadow of Gao Hai, silently looking at the greedy and playful child Alice, and finally disappeared after leaving such a sentence.

It can be felt to some extent that Alice, who will inevitably follow him forever, seems to have some emotional fluctuations.

Speaking of which, I have never known the answer to this new Alice, who was born by myself, what kind of self-understanding she has, how she views the world, me and herself. After all, from the moment she was really born, she was already a brand new life, and during this period of time she never responded to me and always disappeared online without knowing where to go. As a result, in the end, this Alice and I never really We've communicated several times.

Thinking of Gao Hai here, he decided to find an opportunity to communicate with Alice alone in the future. But then, because Gao Hai subconsciously looked in the direction of Alice's shadow and his eyes moved downward, he noticed that the screen of his mobile phone in his trouser pocket turned on at some point.

Is someone calling me? Speaking of which, when I was playing games with Yili last night, I turned my phone to silent so as not to be disturbed. If someone really called me, I really had no way of knowing.

Realizing that he might have missed some messages, Gao Hai took out his mobile phone and saw the four characters "Kita Ikuyo" on the call interface. At the same time, Gao Hai also saw six missed calls on the notification board, all of which were undoubtedly from Ikuyo Kita, as well as several messages from the other party.

Oops, this information... I forgot something.

It wasn't until this moment that Gao Hai finally vaguely realized that he might have missed something very important.

Chapter 45: Kita Ikuyo’s melancholy and the moment when the box was opened

Kita Ikuyo was angry.

She has actually been quite busy during this time. Although he was concerned about Gao Hai's situation at first, because Nanami Aoyama found some clues, Kita focused his energy mainly on investigating Nanami Aoyama's whereabouts. Of course, you may have discovered that Gao Hai was a little unhappy after taking turns dating a group of girls, and then when it was his turn today, he was let go by the other party, so he became angry.

Well, of course, the latter is certainly not the main reason. After all, Kita knows very well that the relationship between him and Gao Hai is actually very awkward. It seems that far is not far. After all, they have lived together seriously for more than a month, and they are still 24 hours a day. stay together. But if we say close, it can’t be said to be too close. After all, although Kita and Gao Hai stayed together for a long time, nothing happened between the two of them from beginning to end. At most, Kita witnessed Gao Hai’s three armies with his own eyes. It's just confrontation and the Battle of Five Armies.

Ahhhh, why do I remember what happened at that time again? It's really annoying. This guy is so handsome and reassuring in the dungeon, why is he such a cunning and evil person in the real world? And there are so many girls who like him, even Porchi-chan... No, if it is Porchi-chan, she is actually quite easy to get. Both Hongxia and Ryo think that Pochi-chan is the kind of girl who will be misled for life once she meets a bad man. Even Nanami-san thinks that Pochi-chan is too naive.

Forget it, these things don't matter, the important thing is to find the traces of Sister Nanami.

Kita Ikuyo has indeed grasped some clues about the whereabouts of Aoyama Nanami. Although it cannot be said that he can find the other party directly, it is at least better than the headless fly with no path before. The source of this clue was naturally the divination mentioned in her previous communication with Yili, and the conclusion of that divination pointed to an obsession held by Nanami Aoyama himself.

【Immortal Blood】

The most important thing in the personal player system built by Nanami Aoyama is the Red Moon-level obsession that gives Nanami unlimited resurrection ability. In order to use this blood-based obsession, Nanami directly replaced all her blood with the obsession, making every drop of blood in her body become the obsession itself. As a result, Nanami herself gained the extraordinary power of not dying even if she was shattered to pieces, and of being able to slowly regenerate and resurrect.

In Kita's memory, Nanami obtained this obsession through trading. The transaction object is from Europe and is an anonymous player. Kita didn't know much about the specific details of the transaction. He only knew that Nanami paid a lot of money to get this obsession. Of course, the rewards were worth it. Relying on this obsession, Nanami has survived many crises. However, this obsession has also eroded her very much. Every time she returns to the real world, she needs to find a way to eliminate the erosion of the blood on her body. .

According to divination, this obsession is closely related to the disappearance of Nanami herself. Therefore, Kita has been tracing the original transaction partner during this period, but unfortunately he has not been able to obtain any effective clues. The trader was anonymous, and the other party's online account had long been deactivated, so it was impossible to determine whether he was dead or alive. Kita spent a lot of effort to check, but in the end he only found out that the account seemed to have cooperated with several player accounts from the Ameri Kingdom and had a temporary team experience. Kita also tried to contact those Ameiliguo accounts once, but most of their accounts have been deactivated, leaving only two active accounts.

After being contacted by Kita, one of them said that the temporary teaming operation did not take place. It seemed that they broke up because of some differences between them, so the player ended up joining another team. Another person said that he did know about this matter, and said that although the team broke up due to differences at the beginning, several people later reunited to participate in the operation, and he was one of them.

Kita was quite happy when she arrived here, thinking that she might finally find a clue. However, just when Kita wanted to communicate further, that is, last night when Gao Hai and Yili went to the mountain town, the player canceled his account for no reason, leaving Kita unable to contact him again. For a moment, the girl felt depressed, feeling that she had failed in her efforts, and the negative emotions in her heart could not be relieved for a while.

After so many days, it seems that I still can't find any clues.

Nanami-san...how is she doing now?

The girl who had been depressed all day felt even more irritated when she thought of Gao Hai and Pochi-chan staying together to let go of their own problems, although she herself couldn't tell what she was irritated about.

Toot toot—toot toot—

And it was at this time, in the dusk that the sky was getting late, that Kita suddenly heard the ringtone of her cell phone and found that someone had called her.

Could it be Mr. Gao?

Kita, who had this idea subconsciously, took out his mobile phone, and then saw the [Senior Ryo] note on the call interface.

Huh?

The unexpected contact made Kita's eyes widen.

Why would it be Senior Liang who contacted me? Ah, although my presence would be erased, the information record should still remain. It’s just that even if it is seen, it will not be noticed. Ordinary people will instinctively ignore it as invalid information, or automatically generate a reasonable reason in their hearts to ignore it. In other words, whether it is Hongxia or Senior Liang, they still have my phone information and various chat records and photos in their phones, but they don’t care. Even if they see it, they will ignore it as if they didn’t see it, or even delete it as spam.

From this point of view, it is possible that Senior Liang saw a strange contact in the address book for no reason and called me out of curiosity.

No, no, no, this is not right. After all, the information of the dead will be blocked, and it is impossible to have the idea of ​​actively contacting. Ah... But, speaking of it, I am alive, and now I am resurrected. Will the mechanism not work for this reason?

Reaching out her hand, Kita’s face was full of hesitation as her fingers touched the edge of the answer button.

Since becoming a player, she has gradually become no longer the lively and lively girl she used to be.

After all, entering a distorted and terrifying dungeon world every month to struggle for survival, how can people living in such an environment be as carefree as before? Just to prevent his family and bandmates from noticing the problem, Kita usually tries to act like he used to be. Until this time he was resurrected, until he returned to the real world and found that his information had been forgotten.

Mom and Dad no longer remembered her existence, and her room was covered with dust and had not been opened for a long time.

Hongxia and Liang also forgot about her. I heard that Ichiri-chan quit the band for this. Think about it, with her sensitive personality, how could she tolerate such a thing.

Those classmates and friends who used to play together in school, none of them remembered her existence, and even her seat was always vacant, ignored by everyone in the class.

It sounds like a very cruel thing, but Kita actually feels a sense of relief.

After being forever changed by this cruel and twisted [Sacrifice Game], Kita found that he finally didn't need to continue to play the original self who could never go back, and could cut off all the connections and thoughts of the past. This feeling is sad and painful, but it is also good, because it means that she doesn't need to wear a mask anymore, and can just pretend to be what she is.

At least, these words can convince Kita herself temporarily.

It is also for this reason that Kita did not look for her parents after returning to the real world, and did not contact her old friends at all. She is ready to only contact other players who share the same suffering as her for the rest of her life, and to be out of society from then on.

But now, Senior Liang, who she once admired and admired, took the initiative to call her.

This is not normal, and the senior should not care about her phone number. But now she can not only notice it again, but also contact herself actively. Does this mean that with her return, those who have lost their memories will also...

Beep——

While hesitating and thinking, the call that could not be connected has timed out and automatically hung up.

Kita stared blankly at the screen that had dimmed again, opened her mouth but couldn't say a word, and stopped her finger in front of the screen, but couldn't press it.

Oh, forget it, don't worry about this kind of thing.

The girl sighed and finally decided to pretend that she didn't see the phone call.

She got up from the chair and sorted out the messy documents on the table.

Kita, who was in a bad mood, looked at the sky that was about to get completely dark and the sun could no longer be seen. She sighed again and stretched. Then the girl turned around and looked at her hiding place in a hotel, a very messy room with clothes thrown around randomly, takeout boxes and garbage bags piled against the wall. If it was Kita in the past, she would never allow it. Kita, who couldn't help but sigh in her heart about her current changes, took a step barefoot and decided to take a shower to calm down.

Knock knock knock——

Then she heard the sound of knocking on the door of the room.

"It's Ryo, is it Kita in there?"

And a very familiar, cold voice coming from outside the door.

"Ah?"

The development was completely beyond her expectations, leaving Kita stunned for a while. But before she had more time to react, her phone vibrated again. She picked it up and saw that a text message had appeared on it. When Kita's eyes were fixed on the text message, a female voice full of evil humor rang out in the room, as if she had heard it in Gao Hai's house when she just left the [Infant Crying Village] dungeon. She began to read out the content of the text message word by word:

[Excuse me, is this Ms. Kita Ikuyo in Room 309 on the 3rd floor of Ke Lai Fan Hotel? Hehehe~]

Chapter 46 I'm here to end this band, what are you doing?

This voice was undoubtedly Alice's voice.

Kita Ikuyo was sure that she would not make a mistake. This was one of the blessings that Gao Hai had received after passing the [Infant Crying Village] dungeon. It was the illusory thing that was created based on the template of Alice, the weird creature in the former Fujika Middle School dungeon, after reducing the bad and twisted side of her personality. It could be said to be an electronic pet that belonged to Gao Hai himself.

Although Kita herself had never been to Fujika Middle School and had not personally witnessed the power of the original weird Alice. But when she returned to reality from [Infant Crying Village], she also saw with her own eyes how scared Yotsuya Miko was by that thing. Even now, this virtual Alice would scare Miko from time to time, making the girl miserable. From this point of view, Kita suspected that this Alice inherited Gao Hai's bad taste.

Speaking of which, that thing didn't seem to listen to Gao Hai very much. Unless it really came to a critical moment, it wouldn't shout at all. I don't know why there is such a strange blessing. Could it be that Mr. Gao actually likes this?

But this kind of thing is not important now. The key is, why did this thing come to me at this time?

It happened to be when the voice of Senior Liang was heard outside the door. Is there an enemy pretending to be a senior and intends to come and attack me?

No, no, no, this shouldn't be possible. My senses have been further enhanced after clearing [Infant Crying Village]. If this distance is really an enemy, I can't fail to notice it. Moreover, although this Alice is not very obedient, she will not harm anyone in terms of action logic. If it is really an enemy, Alice will never deliberately scare me like this, but will find a way to ask for help and help me. After all, this wonderful little thing is still a trustworthy ally.

But if it is not an enemy...

Kita's eyes widened, she has realized a certain possibility.

Yes, when there is a real enemy, Alice will be a very reliable ally. But if there is no enemy, this thing doesn't seem to mind playing the guest role of "enemy".

"Did you lead Senior Liang here?!"

She lowered her head suddenly and asked the still lit mobile phone screen.

[Hey~]

She was answered by Alice's very cute voice and a cute emoticon package of Alice closing one eye and sticking out her tongue on the mobile phone screen.

You really led her here!

At this moment, Kita gnashed his teeth, wishing he could find Alice and teach her a lesson. However, Alice did not have a body in the real world, so no matter how angry Kita was, he could not cause real and effective harm to her. And after answering Kita's question, Alice disappeared decisively, and she could not find her even if she wanted to.

Knock knock——

"Excuse me, is that Kita-san inside?"

Without giving Kita Ikuyo too much time to react, there was another knock on the door. And this time the sound was different from the previous one, and it was obviously the voice of Hongxia.

In other words, did both of them run here?

What should I do now?

Kita Ikuyo found that she was more panicked than expected.

Although the girl could say to herself in her heart that she wanted to abandon the ties of ordinary people, in the end it was just a self-destructive act of choosing to abandon herself because she was forgotten by everyone. If someone she knew before really came to her door again, Kita had no idea how to deal with it, especially since it was Liang Senior whom she had always admired and Hongxia who was very kind to her. She couldn't really tell them in front of them that she didn't plan to return to the band, nor could she use supernatural powers to drive them away or manipulate their memories. She couldn't do such a thing.

But, if they really recovered their memories, would I choose to go back?

For a short time, the red-haired girl's eyes lit up when she recalled her happy life in the past. But soon, when she thought of Nanami Aoyama's affairs, her expression quickly became dim.

Even if she could really return to the band now, if there was an accident or any problem one day, I'm afraid the final result would not be too good.

I can't go back to the lively and cheerful time in the past, when I could face everything with a smile.

From now on, I will continue to live as a pure player.

Let this so-called end of the band really end.

Kita Ikuyo sighed softly and made a decision in her heart again.

That is, when there is no knock on the door, wait for the two people outside the door to give up.

Anyway, they can't have the magnetic card key to the room door, so it's impossible for them to come in. Besides, neither Ryo-senpai nor Hongxia-chan would do anything like kicking the door and breaking in, so I just need to stay still and they will give up soon.

Thinking this way, Kita calmed down a little, and just sat in her seat waiting for the noise outside the door to stop.

Ding-ling-ling-zi——

[Puff~]

Then she heard the sound of the door opening automatically, and a faint, almost inaudible laugh.

The door lock was opened? This... is the circuit being manipulated?

Alice again!!!

The unexpected situation made the girl open her mouth wide, and she almost jumped up on the spot.

But before she really jumped up, two figures had already entered the house.

"Wow, it's so dirty and messy, I have to clean it up."
