Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"..."

Little Black, who was ignored by everyone, lay pitifully on the cold floor, enduring the miserable feeling from the coldness of the world... That's strange!

"Oh~~ I almost forgot about my little Huan's adorable sister Yuanyuan. Speaking of teacher-student + twins, is this also a match made in heaven in some sense?!"

Xiao Hei jumped up from the ground and sat down on the dining table as if nothing had happened. She picked up a fried dough stick and ate it while still thinking about driving. As soon as she spoke this time, she got a response!

"Yes, this is truly a match made in heaven. It's more than just twin sisters and a teacher-student relationship; it also involves twin magic wands!"

The person who spoke with the same tone of a veteran driver was none other than Yu Huan's magic wand, which had slipped out from the system space at some point: Ruby!

"Ahhh~~ Ruby Kiss, you really understand me the best. Actually, let me tell you, besides these, I just thought of something else..."

"Hmmmm, ohhhh, you really are worthy of being my confidant, my best friend. Your thoughts are simply... If it weren't for my Ruby's unwavering loyalty to only my family's one and only master, I would really want you to be my master!"

"No, no, I'm Xiao Huan's person anyway. Your recognition of her as your master is inseparable from me, isn't it?"

"That's true, hahahaha~~~"

"That's right, hehehe~~~"

"..."

It was clearly a cute little black-haired loli with a magic wand with a cute loli voice, but the words spoken by the two were so full of obscene words. Such a scene appeared under the dinner table, and immediately made Yu Huan silently clench his fists, but in the end he still endured it, and then silently pulled Xia Miao into his arms, and then blocked his ears.

"elder sister?"

Xia Miao turned around in confusion, and Yu Huan responded with a calm voice:

"Don't look, don't listen, you'll go blind!"

"Oh!"

Although she didn't know what her sister meant by these inexplicable words, Xia Miao still nodded obediently, and then decisively ignored the words of the two old drivers as Yu Huan said.

After breakfast, everyone, who had nothing to do, just stayed in the dormitory like lazy fish, chatting about their daily lives.

"By the way, Xiao Huan, what did you and Xiao Miao do last night? I see you have dark circles under your eyes!"

During the entertainment time after dinner, although everyone had temporarily forgotten the fact that Yu Huan came out of Xia Miao's room because of Xiao Hei's disruption, it did not mean that they would not remember it again. Therefore, when Xiao Ya asked the question, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Yu Huan again, and their eyes gradually became dangerous.

One thieving cat is obviously enough, but if there's another one, then...

"Don't even mention it. I spent the whole night playing the game only to find out it was a scam!"

Completely unaware of the looks from the girls and the subtle sense of danger in the air, Yu Huan immediately revealed an unhappy expression upon hearing Xiao Ya's words. Of course, she was unhappy, but after hearing the words "played games all night", everyone's expressions instantly relaxed.

"Game? What game? Is it fun?"

As soon as the topic of games came up, it was obvious that Xiao Ya and Yu Huan had more common topics. She immediately asked about the game with great interest, as if she would download it and play it as soon as Yu Huan nodded... In fact, it was not an idea, Xiao Ya really did such a thing!

"Is not fun!"

He answered firmly and decisively without hesitation, and Yu Huan, who said this, actually believed it!

Originally, she had intended to go in with Xia Miao yesterday to apologize to the anchor Qi Xiao who was not afraid of ghosts and to curiously see what the live broadcast of a horror game was like. However, she was unexpectedly added to the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons of that large-scale multiplayer game.

Originally, after the arrival of the first night was announced, the first 'person' should have died immediately, and then everyone should look for clues and guess who the 'ghost' is and where it is hiding... It is somewhat similar to the battle of wits and courage like Werewolf, and also has a little bit of the feeling of playing a detective game or a secret room puzzle. This novel way of playing obviously attracted most of Yu Huan's attention.

However, she spent the first night like this peacefully. When the sun rose the next day, she suddenly realized that in just one night, nothing had happened in the game?!

That's right, you can't sleep in the game space, so Yu Huan actually waited in the game space for a whole night with great anticipation, and the result was...

Nothing happened!

28. End of the first day

That’s right, nothing happened!

There was no death, no accident, no clues, no hints... Well, there was a hint. Just when Yu Huan thought she might be the first sacrifice and then be eliminated, the electronic prompt sound from Skynet rang in her... no, in everyone's ears in the next second:

'The first evening has ended, and the ghosts are still hiding among us, but at this moment we find that the first victim has appeared. She is the anchor: 'Sky Hanged Ghost'. Poor child, let me not express my deepest condolences for her sacrifice!'

"At the end of the first evening, the collection rate of the sacrifices has reached one-seventh. Now that daybreak has arrived, you are safe, but the world is one step closer to doomsday!"

"Now, brave contestants, please use your wisdom and strength to explore the truth and find the real ghost!"

Well, it seems like the story has just begun, right? The game has begun, right? According to the routine, this is definitely the time to search for clues and start to suspect each other, right?

However, this wasn't actually the case. Just as Yu Huan finished reading the message and was getting ready to go all out, the next second, the game start notification sounded. In the blink of an eye, she found herself... withdrawn from Skynet?!

Meow? What the hell?

Is the Internet down? Of course not!

So is it a bug? Obviously not!

Finally, after asking Tianling and Yuyuan to help investigate, Yuhuan finally got an answer that was either absurd or hilarious: the so-called daytime search for clues in this game... actually took place in the real world?!

Oh my god, what's the point? Someone (the streamer) died in the game, and you're asking us to find the answer in real life. How do we find it? Are we supposed to find that streamer called "Hanged Ghost" and ask him directly who killed him last night?

Oh wait, if you think about it carefully, this does seem to be a solution. After all, the other party was killed by a ghost, so he must have seen the ghost's appearance before he died. Therefore, we just need to find the other party and ask him. The answer is obviously... we can't find it!

Since so many big-name anchors and fans and audiences have been invited to participate in the massively multiplayer online horror game, it is naturally impossible to let you find clues so easily. In fact, as soon as Yu Huan thought of this method at the very beginning, he immediately threw it out of his mind. This is because as for the ghost hiding in the dark, even the killed anchor himself might not be able to tell the story!

In the setting of One Hundred Demons Night Parade, everyone's virtual character in the game looks like a ghost... Of course, it's not that they themselves have turned into ghosts, but they are ghosts in the eyes of others... For example, the female ghost with black hair and white skirt that Yu Huan saw at the beginning was actually one of the players, but he mistakenly regarded the other party as a ghost.

At the same moment, Yu Huan also instantly realized what the ghost doll the other party was talking about... It was obviously referring to himself with a petite figure!

The above-mentioned point is obviously not feasible. In fact, the moment Yu Huan regained consciousness, he decisively searched the Internet for information about the One Hundred Demons Night Parade game, but the result he got was... no result!

Even with Tianling's hacking skills, he couldn't find any information about the game's operator or anything else. All he could find was some scattered forum information on some live streaming platforms, but...

"This is wrong!"

While he was casually chatting with Xiao Ya about the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Yu Huan suddenly realized that something was wrong!

"what happened?"

Xiao Ya, who had never played this game, was intrigued by Yu Huan's description and asked curiously. However, Yu Huan ignored her and opened the terminal without saying a word. Then she clicked on the forums she had just seen, and the next second she showed a look of astonishment.

"How is it possible... that it's gone?!"

Xiao Ya's bewildered expression was immediately evident at the inexplicable words, but Yu Huan ignored them completely and quickly began scrolling through the forum pages he had just viewed. He then discovered a horrifying fact: all the information regarding the streamers' discussions or posts regarding the game "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" last night... had completely vanished?!

How can this be? !

You have to remember, it's a massively multiplayer online horror game. Just Yu Huan saw at least a few hundred people participating, most of whom were streamers, and the number of viewers had clearly surpassed that. Yet, even with such a massive influx of people, there wasn't even a shred of interest online regarding the game, One Hundred Demons Night Parade. Even the bits and pieces of information he'd just found had been completely deleted in a matter of minutes?!

Did Skynet do something about it? Skynet was clearly the only entity capable of such a comprehensive information blockade within its network, but why? This was just a game, an entertaining horror game!

As for that? !

At that moment, it was really no wonder that Yu Huan thought too much. She just subconsciously felt that something was wrong. However, before she could think further, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from outside.

"Everyone is here! It's so lively so early in the morning!"

The person who came was Tong. Although she was not a member of Yuhuan's team, and even as a patrol officer she was not a contestant, she still lived with everyone. It was just that because of her patrol duties she went out early and came back late, but no one cared too much about it!

"Sister Tong, you're back. Good morning. Have you eaten?"

Having his train of thought interrupted, Yu Huan was the first to greet Tong. Tong also smiled and walked over to touch Yu Huan's little head:

"Well, good morning, sister has eaten! Xiao Huan, what are you guys talking about? It's so lively!"

"Let's talk about games again!"

Yu Huan had no need to hide this, so he said casually:

"A game called One Hundred Demons Night Parade!"

It was a very casual remark, but just as Yu Huan finished speaking, she saw clearly that the gentle smile on Tong's face... disappeared!

29. It’s really a death game?!

After the catastrophe of the Mirror Destruction Sun, eighty percent of the continent's land turned into ruins and remains. Monsters called alien beasts and various natural disasters spread throughout the outside world, causing the entire world to be instantly shrouded in the shadow of doomsday in just a few days.

However, the remaining humans made a concerted effort to revive themselves, and the scientists of Tianta City also gathered together, using almost all of their knowledge and painstaking efforts, and finally succeeded in creating a super artificial intelligence: Tianta!

That’s right, this is the origin of Tianta City. The entire city is not just an overlapping tower-shaped city, but in fact the entire city itself is the body of a super-giant intelligent robot. It is also the most technologically powerful defense fortress in the entire world. Apart from the Demon Realm, it is also the first and last surviving place for humans!

And it was after the end of the Mirror Destruction Day that an energy substance called magic appeared in this world. The appearance of the Mage Tower in the Demon Realm caused the initial intersection and collision between science and magic. This should have been a collision between the two different civilizations, which would undoubtedly bring about a huge war and disaster; however, in fact it was not the case!

The magic side and the science side, which had already experienced the apocalypse and should have been separated by differences in ideas and civilizations, united together. Their purpose was very simple, which was to survive peacefully in this apocalyptic wasteland. Therefore, at that time, Tianta City, which represented technology, and the Mage Tower, which represented the Demon Realm, signed a peace treaty under the witness of the scavengers, the largest force in terms of numbers, and it has continued to this day.

As technology opened the door and magic entered homes, the two civilizations inevitably collided. Magicians learned about the existence of people with special powers, and alchemists understood the development of science. Under this peaceful exchange, the two gradually merged and learned from each other.

The combination of the scientific law of conservation of energy and the magical origin of the soul has enabled the Tianta, the ultimate crystallization of human technology, to give birth to its own soul and thus possess its own will.

Of course, the kind of artificial intelligence rebellion in the movie obviously did not happen to Tianta. As an AI created to protect mankind, Tianta has been committed to protecting the entire Tianta City even after it was born with a soul. It even took the initiative to split its own will for the sake of development and established a huge network platform for mankind: Skynet!

That’s right, Skynet, the second world, comes from the second consciousness of the Tianta. It is also the most fundamental reason why several floors of the entire Tianta City can gradually communicate freely and casually. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the communication signal of the entire Tianta City. For the sake of safety, the terminal of Skynet is not in the Tianta City, but is exiled to the sky in the form of a satellite. Although it is not the universe, it is hidden in a stable space gap, thus cutting off all evil forces that pay attention to it!

It was under such circumstances that, with the gradual development of Tianta City, human beings gradually regained their vitality. But at the same time, it was also inevitable that some people with ulterior motives revealed their ambitions when seeing the emergence of peace.

In March of the 1325th year of the Jingmie calendar, a rebellious civil strife that shocked the entire Tianta City broke out. Dozens of high-ranking officials in the entire Tianta City joined forces with their troops to launch a rebellion. Their goal was to seize control of the Tianta and thus seize the entire Tianta City.

Of course, the rebellion ended in failure, and it was not until afterwards that Tianta City learned that there had actually been the shadow of a terrorist organization behind this incident. That was the most evil organization on the continent that was world-famous even before the Mirror Destruction Day, and even more notorious throughout the world after the Mirror Destruction Day: Mirror!

Because of the help of the mirror, the senior officials got the key to invade Tianta City, and used it to shut down the defense system of Tianta, which almost caused the monsters to attack the city and caused the entire Tianta City to almost fall. Countless people with special abilities died in this war, including magicians who traveled to and from Tianta City for communication.

It was also after that disaster that Tianta City carried out a thorough purge of the Mirror Organization. Although it did not eradicate it completely, it did cause a complete breakdown of its structure.

I've gone off topic... Originally, after that, Tianta City had returned to its original peace, and Skynet was operating as usual. Everyone thought that the matter was over. However, no one expected that, although no one knew whether it was accidental or deliberate, the riot in Tianta City that year did have some impact on the current Skynet due to the attack of the rebels.

The specific impact is not clear. Even though the Tianta incident has been under investigation until now, there is still no result. The most fundamental consequence of this impact is that a loophole has appeared in Skynet, a loophole area that is completely beyond the control of Skynet or even Tianta!

Just like a BUG program in the Internet, this loophole area controls a small piece of land in the huge Skynet network. It is not big, but it is like cutting off a small piece from a complete country, which makes people feel unhappy but helpless!

In the end, the scientists of the Sky Tower had no choice but to find ways to strengthen various defense programs in that area, striving to respond to any changes in the first time. But in fact, that area has always been like a no-man's land without any unnecessary response. It just exists there like a stagnant pool of water without any control, as if it was just a small accidental loophole in the program!

Time went on like this for who knows how many years, until one day ten years ago, when the small program space that had been stagnant suddenly... changed!

No one knows the specific changes, no one knows if there is someone behind the scenes manipulating them, and even no one knows why the changes occur. The only thing we know is that starting from a certain day ten years ago, a program will appear in that loophole program at an irregular time every year... No, to be precise, it's a game, a... death game!

"A Hundred Demons Night Parade... A massive viral destruction game that begins with the deaths of seven people. If the game is not completed before the seven die, then on the night of the seventh day, all participants will die mysteriously. The cause of death is unknown, but a Dharma Saint who once visited Tianta City once said so..."

Looking solemnly at Yu Huan who was listening intently, Tong said with an extremely unpleasant expression what the other party had said:

"The souls of these people...are gone!"

30. Skynet Vulnerability Area　

"..."

Silence, a deathly silence. The entire room fell into a long silence as Tong finished speaking. Everyone just sat there without saying a word. The expressions on everyone's faces were different, but one thing was obviously the same: the eyes they looked at Yu Huan were full of worry. Of course, it was just worry. As for the others...

"So... can you tell me more about this One Hundred Demons Night Parade?"

As Tong finished speaking, it was obvious that this horrifying phenomenon did not make everyone panic. Instead, after a moment of silence, Xiao Ya asked the question first. This was certainly not because she was not worried about Yu Huan or anything, but simply because instead of worrying here, it would be better to quickly find Bufan to help Yu Huan solve the problem!

"Yeah, no problem!"

Tong is a patrolman, and he obviously knows more about this kind of thing. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately told what he knew. According to Tong, this game seems to have been held a total of eleven times in the past ten years, and this time is twelve times, and almost every time the game is started, it is accompanied by the death of a large number of humans, almost without exception!

And it is precisely because of this that Skynet has completely blocked any information about this game, for fear that some suicidal people would take the initiative to get involved in this area or to prevent such a large number of deaths from being exposed and causing chaos.

"In fact, the previous eleven deaths were all covered up by the Sky Tower through deliberate accidents, and were treated as large-scale disasters. I didn't expect... to happen again now!"

What was even more unexpected was that Yu Huan would actually be involved. This made Tong rub her temples with a headache. This time was not within her scope of responsibility at all. Not to mention that Tong was only a graduate of the Patrol Academy. Although she had some connections and status, she was ultimately limited by these relationships. She didn't know much about this kind of thing. Even if she wanted to help, her ability was limited!

"It's a pity I can't contact the Great Library, otherwise I should be able to find more detailed information there!"

This was what Tong said at the end, almost complainingly. The Great Library was the root of all information in Tianta City. In there, basically anything that had ever happened in Tianta City could be found in detail, even down to the scene of an ant passing by. Unfortunately, Tong's authority was obviously not enough to enter it, so she could only speak it out as a possibility, and then...

"Big library, huh? Leave this one to me!"

The one who said this was none other than Xiao Ya. To be honest, when Xiao Ya said this, not to mention everyone else, even Tong looked at her in surprise, but Yu Huan was the only one who looked calm... Of course, this was not because she was not surprised, but because... she felt like she had expected it!

Xiao Ya was originally from Tianta City and was also a practitioner of ancient martial arts. But don't think that ancient martial arts were just a casual physical technique. In fact, after personally practicing this physical technique, Yu Huan clearly felt the enormous power contained in it. And it was this enormous power that Xiao Ya had so easily imparted to him. This alone was enough to show that Xiao Ya's identity was not simple. Now that she said such words, it must be said that this was really...

"Do I need to ask you to support me now? Sister Xiaoya!"

Yu Huan looked at her sincerely, and Xiao Ya also turned around and looked at Yu Huan sincerely:

"I just hope you return the notebook you didn't take away before!"

"No need to talk!"

Very good, the negotiation failed. In the end, Xiao Ya left with a face full of resentment, dragging the confused Tong away. Xiao Hei also dragged Xia Miao, the instigator of the whole incident, away. There was no doubt that they were giving each other psychological counseling... God knows that when she just found out that her owner had inexplicably screamed for her and entered such a dangerous game, she burst into tears!

"I...I'll go to Skynet to get some information!"
