I loaded the dream game

Xue No didn't answer his question immediately. Instead, she frowned slightly and looked him up and down. She seemed to have noticed something and asked with a hint of doubt: "Could it be... you are me?"

Could there be someone else impersonating me?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, looked at the girl and asked curiously: "Could it be that Yukino-san often dreams of me?"

Hearing this, Yukino's body stiffened slightly, her eyes unconsciously glanced to the side, and a slight blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

Seeing the girl's reaction, Xia Zhi blinked.

Could it be that I was right?

Although I have known Yukino earlier, based on our current relationship, Yukino should be considered my sister-in-law, right?

How should I put it... My sister-in-law often dreams about this kind of thing, and no matter how I think about it, it feels a bit bad.

Xia Zhi thought so in his heart.

On the other side, Yukino seemed to have adjusted her mood. She turned her gaze back and looked at the boy with a thoughtful expression. She couldn't help but glared at him with some embarrassment: "So, how long do you plan to lie down?"

It’s not that I want to lie down... You were lying on top of me just now, how could I get up?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and was about to get up when he heard the sound of chains colliding.

He was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and looked at himself, only then he realized that his body was tied to the bed tightly with iron chains without knowing when.

"...?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Xia Zhi’s head.

If it is bundled, is the object wrong? .

Chapter 590: Returning to the Dungeon World and the Method to Achieve the Ending

Obviously, the small iron chain could not trap Xia Zhi, and he broke free without much effort.

What he was more curious about now was why he was tied to the bed?

"here it is……?"

Yukino looked around and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

It was only then that she realized that she was not in her own room.

But at the same time, she was very familiar with this room... no, it should be said that she had a deep memory of it.

After all, this was her first time...

As if she recalled something, the girl's cheeks flushed again. After coughing lightly as if to cover it up, she turned around and looked at Xia Zhi and said, "It looks like we are back here again."

At the beginning, the place where that dream ended...

"is it?"

Xia Zhi didn't care much about it. After all, it had been so long that he couldn't remember these things clearly. He only remembered that at the end of the first copy, he brought Xue No to a girl's room in a private house.

It seems... this is the room? He thought uncertainly.

Forget it, since Yukino said so, let’s just take it as it is.

Compared to this, Xia Zhi is more concerned about something else.

If the dream game allowed them to return to the instance in the same state as before leaving, then...

"Why am I tied up?" Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain.

Xue Nai glanced at him and said: "Why do I tie you up? Don't you know Xia Zhi?"

Summer Solstice:…

Well, he admitted that he had some reasons.

At first, out of curiosity, he wanted to experience what it was like to become a zombie, relying on the mechanism that it didn't matter if he died in the dream dungeon after completing all the main missions. In the end, it was proved that even if he tried his best to maintain his sanity, in a non-idealistic worldview, objective physiological reactions and limitations could not be overcome by willpower alone.

In that situation, it was normal for Yukino to tie him up and restrict his movements for her own safety.

But there is a problem here…

"Yukino-san..."

"what happened?"

"You should know that people infected with the virus are basically beyond help, right?" Xia Zhi looked at her and asked.

"……Um."

"In that case, why don't you just kill me?" Xia Zhi continued to ask.

At that time, he was just an ordinary zombie... at most a slightly better-looking zombie. And if I remember correctly, he left a pistol for the girl.

According to the situation at that time, if it was purely for safety reasons, it would be safer and more convenient to just shoot him than to tie him up.

When you know that the situation cannot be salvaged, that is obviously the best course of action.

However, facing his question, Xue Noi did not answer directly, but asked back: "If it were me, Xia Zhi, would you kill me?"

"……I see."

Xia Zhi seemed to understand something and nodded thoughtfully: "Xue No-san is so beautiful, she would still be beautiful even if she turned into a zombie. If it were me, I really wouldn't have the heart to do it."

By analogy, does this mean that...

"As expected, in your eyes, Yukino-san, I am also... woo!"

The girl threw the pillow at his face, interrupting the rest of his sentence.

"Save your narcissistic words for when you're alone. For now, you should pay more attention to the current situation." As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the window, as if she wanted to check the current situation outside.

Looking at the girl's back, his eyes lingered on her slightly pink ears for a moment. Xia Zhi retracted his gaze and fell on the edge of the bed and the bloodstains that had already solidified on the floor, revealing a thoughtful look.

It seems that when I was not conscious, something happened that I didn't know about...

Xia Zhi thought about it, put the matter aside for the time being, and opened the task panel of the dream game.

The next moment, a long string of subtitles appeared before his eyes——

[Currently ongoing main mission]

【Wish you a happy game】

"..."

Xiazhi is a little curious, are the special prices for the Qixi Festival here too much or too little?

Forget it, that's not the point.

The point is... from the description of the main quest, it seems that there is more than one heroine in this copy?

Also, what does it mean to achieve the four endings? Am I playing a galgame?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, and then hesitated.

But... after all, it is a special event for the Qixi Festival, so it seems possible.

And if we really follow the idea of ​​galgame, the way to achieve a certain ending seems to generally require completely conquering the heroine of the game?

He thought in his heart, and moved his eyes away from the subtitles in front of him, and fell on the girl not far away. After thinking for a while, he shouted:

"Yukino-san..."

"Huh?" The girl who was looking at the scene outside the window turned around after hearing the voice and looked at him in confusion.

"I like you."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet...

.......

Chapter 591: What are you doing at the end of the world? Want to go on a date?

……Failed.

Sitting on the steps exposed to the sun, Xia Zhi thought to himself as he looked at the draft in his hand which was filled with the word "failed" written all over the page.

The failure here does not only refer to the failure to guess the conditions for completing the main task 2, but also refers to...

"My life has failed."

"..."

It hasn’t reached that level, has it?

Looking at the young man who seemed a little depressed not far away, Yukino thought speechlessly in her heart.

I was the one who was frightened and at a loss, so why do I feel like he is the more wronged now?

Xueno sighed slightly, walked forward, used her umbrella to shield the boy from the midday sun, looked down at him and said:

"Using the success of confession to measure whether your life is successful, I don't remember the Xia Zhi I knew being such a superficial person."

and……

"Your tone at that time didn't mean it at all, did you?"

Although it was a question, the girl's tone was completely affirmative, as if she was stating a fact.

"Yukino-san, what you mean is that if I'm serious, you'll agree?"

Hearing this, Xia Zhi looked up at her and asked curiously.

"There are so many things going on right now, so don't say such stupid things."

As Yukino said this, she stuffed the parasol in her hand into the boy's hand and continued, "Okay, hurry up and get up, those guys will be here again soon."

The "those guys" she mentioned, of course, are the zombies in this world.

Although they had experienced the previous rainstorm and were exposed to the scorching sun again after the water receded, the zombies still survived in this city with their tenacious vitality.

Although the zombies around had been cleared out by Xia Zhi, at the end of the sight, one could still see some figures staggering slowly towards this side.

...I really don't know where they get the energy to support their body activities.

Feeling the girl's warmth remaining on the handle of the umbrella in his hand, Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then looked at her curiously and asked, "Xue No, do you think zombies could be a more advanced form of life?"

"You haven't watched too many movies, have you?" To this, Xue No gave an answer without hesitation: "Or, Xia Zhi, do you think that their life form is very advanced?"

Xia Zhi thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

Life survives on negative entropy, from prokaryotes to humans today, the more advanced life is, the more efficient it is in absorbing negative entropy from the outside world, and the more it will cause the entropy value of the surrounding environment to increase. And civilization is the epitome of life that has developed to a certain level, absorbing negative entropy with extremely high social efficiency.

If we look at it from this theoretical perspective, then civilization itself can actually be seen as a whole, a form of life existing in another form.

At the same time, this also means that when life develops to a certain level, the advancement of the life form has little to do with the development of the life itself, but depends more on the level of development of the civilization to which the life belongs.

...Of course, here we are referring to normal technological life. Guys like Xia Zhi who can create a universe by himself are not included.

"...Wait, am I no longer considered a human being?" Xia Zhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Never mind. That kind of thing isn't important for now.

Xia Zhi shook his head and turned his attention back to the main task.
