Tokyo: The Player Behind the Scenes.

Chapter 104, Section 102: Let's Show the Health Bar
Nobi turned off his phone, pushed through the crowd, and hurriedly tried to get to the driver's seat.

But there were too many people around, and they were all in a state of panic. Even though his physical fitness had been comprehensively improved, it was difficult for him to move quickly in such a crowd.

"Why does the train seem to be going faster and faster? Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

"Stop pushing! Stop pushing!"

"Flight attendant? Someone go look for a flight attendant!"

Nobita struggled to cross a train car, and the surrounding scenery was completely different from the interior, but it was also another train car that Nobita had ridden in during the game.

If I'm not mistaken, the front of the train is that terrifying steam locomotive with the human face, and the carriages pieced together behind it are trains from different eras that you ride in the game.

"Help! The chair is eating me!"

The piercing screams were especially noticeable even amidst the noisy crowd.

People drawn by the sound looked over and saw a bizarre and terrifying gaping mouth behind the seat.

The exposed lips resembled rotting thighs pieced together and piled on top of each other, and from the open mouth, stretched out mutilated, sticky black arms.

These arms were grabbing a man who was sitting in a chair and shoving him, chair and all, into their mouths. The man was terrified and cried out for his parents, clinging desperately to the skirt of a woman standing next to him.

"Let go! Let go! Help! Don't pull me in!"

The woman was so frightened that she struggled desperately and involuntarily grabbed onto someone next to her.

This triggered a chain reaction, with one person pulling another, until the remaining people finally realized what was happening and, in a state of shock, managed to create space in the already crowded environment.

"Help me! Help me!"

The first man to be entangled had half of his body firmly gripped by hands and pulled into the strange mouth leading to an unknown place. In the fear of being eaten alive, the woman whose skirt was being grabbed finally came to her senses and took off her skirt.

"No!" the man cried out in despair.

Clang!
Nobi, clad in silver armor, completed his gacha draw amidst the chaos, summoning the Hero's Sword. He burst through the crowd, plunging his sword deep into the pitch-black depths of the strange, gaping mouth.

A distorted, unpleasant sound wave emanated from the monstrous mouth. The hoarse, mocking sounds, completely inhuman, caused those around to cover their ears, their faces contorted in pain.

Seeing the monster's "health bar" half gone, Nobita suppressed his nausea and plunged his Hero's Sword into the ground once more to cut.

The remaining half of the health bar was instantly emptied.

The bizarre maw trembled violently, halting its sonic attack. The sticky, mutilated arms inside either broke off or retracted as if electrocuted.

Then, as if fleeing, the large mouth spat out a large amount of viscous black liquid while convulsing, shrinking into a single point and disappearing on the car wall.

The man finally fell to the ground, his face showing a look of relief and gratitude for surviving a close call.

"Thank you! Thank you so much—"

"."

Nobi remained silent, watching the man whose lower body had completely disappeared, his organs spilling out from the gap but he seemed oblivious. He gently shook his head, avoiding the man, and continued walking towards the carriage ahead.

"I...I feel a bit weak in the legs and can't stand up. Can anyone help me? Why...why are you all avoiding me?"

The others couldn't help but take a few steps back, avoiding their gaze in fear, unable to look directly at the man's miserable state.

Some people couldn't stand the nausea and vomited.

Nobita ignored the commotion. He had a limited time to maintain his hero form, and every second was precious if he wanted to defeat the monster within the time limit.

The method to control the monster has already been given in the game's [Hao] perfect completion guide: enter the driver's seat and pull the brake.

The crowded people automatically parted to make way for Nobita before he arrived, staring in lingering fear at the strange figure clad in armor, seemingly transported from another world or a medieval realm. Everything that had happened before their eyes today was utterly unbelievable.

But instinctively, people can still draw inspiration from past works of art, roughly knowing that they are facing some kind of disaster, and that the armored figure in front of them is the hero who solves this disaster.

All these bystanders can do is not bother the other party and try their best to live.

Don't let yourself end up like those clueless bystanders in zombie movies who recklessly court death.

Nobi moved forward much faster, and even if the people in the other carriages didn't know what was going on, they instinctively wanted to avoid him when they saw such a strange person.

"Monster! It's eating people! The monster is eating people!"

"Run! Don't push!"

As Nobita's adventures progress, the appearance of the strange mouth becomes more and more frequent, and it even uses long, sticky arms that stick out of its mouth to resist.

After dealing with the two strange mouths that suddenly appeared, a large crowd tried to cross from another carriage to the carriage where Nobita was currently located, causing the surrounding crowd to increase instantly and making it impossible to move.

From the carriages where those people were fleeing, heart-wrenching screams could be heard.

After Nobita struggled against the crowd to reach the carriage, he saw one man-eating monster mouth after another opening from the top, bottom, and all sides of the carriage, as well as a carpet of flesh and blood slowly spreading from the front.

"Save Gu."

It seemed that the train sped up a little after each person it ate.

Is it accelerating by using flesh and blood as fuel, trying to catch up with the first bus with more people and devour it?

"We won't let you succeed."

The hero raised his sword, revealing his health bar, dodging the tentacle-like monstrous hands, severing them one by one, and with the power of rage, pierced the giant mouth with his sword, cutting it open.

"Kaka!"

More large mouths appeared, some even spreading directly below Nobita's penis.

But in this state, Nobita's mind was extremely focused, staring at the health bars of the monsters in front of him, and taking them down one by one.

After a fierce battle, Nobita lost a small amount of health and took down a large number of monsters.

Crossing the carriage, half of which was already consumed by blood and flesh, he saw the open eyeball at the end of the next carriage.

Just as described by 【浩】, it is exactly the same.

The sensation underfoot no longer felt like stepping on the floor, but rather like stepping on a bouncy mound of flesh.

The rotting officers threw the passengers' corpses from the ground into a larger, monstrous maw, exactly as Nobita had seen in the game where the black humanoid figures were being fed.

Sensing Nobita's intrusion, the officers stopped what they were doing and tilted their heads to look at this uninvited guest with their bare eyes.

"Then, let's show the health bar."

As Nobita finished speaking, dense health bars lit up above their heads.

Including that unusually long, large eyeball blocking the driver's cab.

Nobi took a deep breath and drew a card.

Let him see if his allies in the cause can step up their game.
