Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"..."

On the first date, he met the anchor Xiaoxiao, and after that he signed a contract and came to the world of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Then, when he was about to go on another date, he was tricked by Soul Face and fell into a trap. After careful consideration, it seems that no date was complete, as if problems would arise whenever the two of them went on a date.

I have to say this is such a sad story!

"But that's okay!"

However, Xiao Hei was not discouraged at all. Instead, he clenched his fist and said decisively:

"I have a feeling this time it will succeed!"

"Ah! It's you, the cute and powerful little ghost-catching sister!"

The two voices sounded almost at the same time. Because they were on the street, Xiao Hei didn't pay attention to it at first. She thought that the other party was probably talking about someone else. Then, when a golden figure suddenly rushed over and hugged Yu Huan beside her, she instantly realized that the other party was actually talking to Yu Huan.

"..."

Sometimes, a slap in the face comes so suddenly, but Xiao Hei obviously did not have the time to enjoy the pain in her face, because when she raised her head the next second, the unpleasantness of being slapped in the face was instantly replaced by strong jealousy.

"Let go of my loli!"

The golden figure was a young girl, about the same size as Xiao Hei but with bright golden hair in stark contrast to his black hair. At this moment, she was holding Yu Huan tightly in her arms, and even trembling with excitement (?). This made Xiao Hei feel a strong sense of crisis.

This guy... is a formidable opponent!

Without any warning, Xiao Hei made this judgment in an instant. Without saying a word, he wanted to step forward and separate the two of them. Then, he wanted to let the other party know what would happen if someone robbed a loli in the street, especially his own loli. However...

"You are... Qi Xiao?"

Yu Huan's voice, with a hint of doubt, instantly froze Xiao Hei's aggressive behavior, and then... he withdrew it out of boredom.

What? An acquaintance... I thought it was some familiar stranger!

That’s right, the person who came was Qi Xiao, the little girl who was saved by Yu Huan during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and was considered as one of the sacrifices. She was also the main reason why Yu Huan came into contact with this game!

Before this, Yu Huan had looked for the other party in reality but was told that he had found the wrong person. Yu Huan's original intention on the Internet was to find the other party and use the other party as a guide to find the soul of the mastermind behind the scenes. However, he did not expect that the other party would jump out by himself.

After a few interactions, Yu Huan had forgotten about the other person's existence. After that, he had already completed the game, so there was naturally no need to look for the other person... But he didn't expect that the other person would come up to him at this time.

"save……"

However, what surprised Yu Huan even more was yet to come. The trembling little girl who was holding Yu Huan in her arms, just as Yu Huan was about to speak after a moment of hesitation, suddenly raised her head. Beneath her originally adorable face, there was now only a deep fear.

"Help...help me!"

"Someone wants to kill me, and says I'm from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons..."

“…The seventh sacrifice!”

76. The beginning of a nightmare

Qi Xiao is very introverted, to the point of being pathological in a certain sense... She has not been good at communicating with others since she was a child, or she simply doesn't dare to communicate with others. The only friend she can chat with is Xiao Jing.

This introverted personality continued until her parents' accidental death, and it became uncontrollable. She even lived alone in the large manor, leading an autistic life. Even her daily necessities, food, clothing, and other expenses could only be done with the help of her good friend Xiao Jing.

Otherwise, she might starve to death in her own manor one day!

Qi Xiao is not short of money. Not only that, she can even be said to be very rich, because her parents were big bosses when they were alive, and after their death they left her a huge inheritance that she could not spend in several lifetimes. In addition, she herself does not have any outstanding relatives, so this money was naturally put into her name, making her the most wealthy girl in the area even if she never left the house.

Ahem, I've gone off topic... Although she is rich, she can't cure her heart disease. Naturally, her childhood sweetheart Xiao Jing saw this state of mind and she couldn't stand it anymore!

"You can't do that! Humans are social animals. If you don't communicate with others, you'll become disconnected from the world and even end up being abandoned!"

Using these threatening words that she thought were alarmist or meaningless, Xiao Jing, who was helpless after getting no response for a long time, finally recommended a way for her to get in touch with others without contacting them: Go online!

In today's society, the Internet is undoubtedly a good place to hide your identity. Here you don't need to care about the real-life human relationships or other messy things. At the same time, here you can fully express yourself and live out another way that you desire but cannot do in reality.

And it was here that Qi Xiao found the new self that he had once longed for!

Like the protagonists in most online novels, Qi Xiao in real life is cowardly, timid, introverted and not good at communicating with others.

However, on the Internet, she has transformed into a completely different person: cool and bold, daring and good at challenging all impossible things!

She had been hanging around on the Internet for more than three years, and then by chance she came into contact with the anchor industry, and then... she was hooked!

At first it was just for fun, and then it was for the so-called vanity... Qi Xiao, who lives alone, longs to be noticed, cared about, and respected by others, so she became an anchor, and after searching for the hottest business of anchors at the moment, she finally decided to become a... horror game anchor!

Then... her nightmare began!

She is a timid person by nature. Even if she found herself on the Internet, it could not change her nature. Not to mention that she lives alone in an empty manor. Such a person is exposed to the kind of horror games that scare people to death. The result can be imagined!

On the first day, she was so scared that she almost lost her soul. She lay in bed with a pale face and didn't dare to sleep all night. She just stared with her eyes wide open and her face was lifeless. If she hadn't been breathing, she would have been scared to death by Xiao Jing who came to deliver food to her house.

After that, it took him three or four days to finally come to his senses. Then, of course, Qi Xiao decided that he would never touch horror games again... Well, absolutely not!

but……

"Huh? Oh my god, I wasn't scared by the ghost, but I was scared by the anchor. That scream... is amazing!"

"The host is so cute, especially when she's scared... Wow~~ cute, cute, cute!"

'Playing a horror game can actually scare yourself like this, this streamer is really unique! I'm a fan!'

"It's not the anchor... Can you be a little braver? It's just a tree, not a ghost. Is there any need to be afraid?"

'The ghost said: Meow meow meow? I haven't even appeared yet, why is this person (anchor) scared to death?'

'Ghost-shy anchor, teach you online the correct reaction to seeing a ghost, hahahaha~~~'

The attention increased instantly, and all kinds of replies with mixed reviews, such messages occupied Qi Xiao's entire screen one by one, and suddenly her originally quiet mind became inexplicably active again.

Maybe... play it again? It's all fake anyway, so as long as I get used to it, it won't be long...

"I can't possibly get used to it! Who could possibly get used to something like this? Help~~~~"

Running in the deserted old house, with a dried corpse dragging a big axe chasing behind her, the blonde girl ran forward desperately with tears in her eyes, and on the light screen in front of her was constantly flashing those sympathetic and mocking barrages, and finally under these barrages she was successfully... chopped by the axe!

Very good, another way to die has been unlocked, and the horror game: deserted house exploration has once again been declared a failure... Well, the first level!

Every time she made up her mind not to touch such scary things, she sank into it again and again in the face of reality. Gradually, a horror game UP host who was afraid of ghosts became famous in the live broadcast industry, and her name was: Qi Xiao is not afraid of ghosts!

It was about a few days ago when Qi Xiao accidentally came across a mysterious invitation on a horror game forum... It was an invitation to some well-known horror game anchors or die-hard horror game fans to participate in an extremely large horror game feast... That's right, it was the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

As for this kind of invitation, Qi Xiao, who was afraid of ghosts, originally wanted to refuse it. However, at that moment, she suddenly remembered what Xiao Jing had said to her:

"The best way to overcome fear is to face it. Look... ever since you played the horror game, you've become much better than before... at least you dare to go out to buy food, even if it's in the middle of the night and at a 24-hour self-service convenience store!"

That's right, facing fear is the best way to overcome it... With this idea in mind, Yu Huan finally decided to accept the invitation, and then joined this large-scale...death game as a player.

And her nightmare also began at this moment...!

77. Girl's Heartbeat

It was an experience similar to Xiaoxiao's. When he first entered the game, Qixiao began to dream...all kinds of horrible dreams about death.

At the beginning, Qi Xiao was obviously afraid of this dream, but she did not take it seriously. After all, she was timid to begin with, but she insisted on playing horror games. She basically had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep peacefully every day.

However, as time passed, the first sacrifice appeared, the second sacrifice appeared, the third sacrifice... As more and more sacrifices died, Qi Xiao's dreams began to become more and more terrifying. At first, it was just an illusion that remained in her mind, which made her extremely frightened. Later, this illusion gradually appeared in reality, causing her to confuse the two for a long time.

She was doing a live broadcast, but the next second she found that the blood in the game was flowing out from the light curtain. When she woke up, she found that it was just a dream, and she was just sleeping in the game terminal... Dreams like these tortured Qi Xiao's already fragile heart again and again, making her unable to let go for a long time but unable to escape from it.

Fortunately, there is the existence of her good friend Xiaojing. Unlike Xiaoxiao, Qixiao is lucky because Xiaojing did not disappear like her friend. Therefore, at least for her best friend who also entered this horror game, Xiaojing's existence undoubtedly gave Qixiao a lot of courage and motivation.

But that was just a drop in the bucket. Xiao Jing's comfort could only ever be comfort. After all, Xiao Jing was not a very professional anchor. She only dealt with the game out of interest or because she wanted to accompany Qi Xiao. Therefore, she could not really provide any help in this regard. At most, she could only appear by Qi Xiao's side and comfort her every time she was scared.

This horrific life lasted for three days. Qi Xiao originally thought that this kind of life would continue until the end of the game after seven days... or it would become his nightmare forever and would never disappear. However, he never expected that one day three days later, a turning point would suddenly appear!

In order to get out of the game as soon as possible that day, Qi Xiao, as usual, took advantage of the daytime to search for clues. However, he encountered a gunfight right after logging into the game... Well, nominally it was a group of "ghosts" killing each other, but in Qi Xiao's eyes, there was no doubt that it was just a group of players fighting in various weird ways, scratching with claws or biting with mouths.

Then of course Qi Xiao who had strayed into it was also dragged into it. Fortunately, he was lucky enough not to be killed and resurrected directly, but was knocked to the ground and no one paid any attention to him... After all, he was just a passerby 'ghost'.

Just when Qi Xiao was lamenting her bad luck, she never expected that before she could stand up from the ground, the next second the light of the game login suddenly lit up beside her. Then, before she could react, the other party had successfully logged in, and the location was... right on her body.

"..."

Poor Qi Xiao, who had a great reputation throughout his life, escaped the nightmare and the gunfight, but in the end he was almost killed by a little Lolita who had just logged into the game.

However, the other party obviously didn't do it on purpose, so adhering to the principle of "no acquaintance without fighting" (mainly because the other party is a cute girl), Qi Xiao got to know the other party in this way, and after learning that the other party was also investigating the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, he resolutely decided to act together... Let me make it clear first, this is only because it is easier for two people to find clues, and it is definitely not because one person will be afraid... Absolutely not!

Fortunately, the girl who looked younger than him did not have any aversion to him, probably because he was naturally beautiful (blushing), so the two of them formed a temporary team. At least before Xiao Jing came online, Qi Xiao had a companion who could protect him... no, a companion to look for clues with him.

Then, under the guidance of the little girl named Yuhuan, Qi Xiao witnessed with her own eyes what were more magnificent scenes and battle scenes than those in horror games... Although she basically watched the whole process through her fingers with her eyes squinted because of fear, but this did not prevent her little heart from beating suddenly when she was held in Yuhuan's arms.

That seems... a heart-pounding feeling?

As an innocent girl, I once had a naive dream: I hoped that one day my guardian knight would descend from the sky and rescue me from the vortex of loneliness... However, as I grew up, this unrealistic dream was gradually cast aside. But then, in that instant, this dream that I had forgotten to some unknown corner suddenly jumped out of my mind, and then... it happened?!

At that moment, Qi Xiao felt that he had found true love... Although this true love was a girl or something, but... as long as there was love, gender and other things were obviously not important!

That’s right!

Unfortunately, time passed by so quickly. When Qi Xiao realized whether she should flirt with the other party or not, it was the end of another day. She didn't even have time to say a few more words to the other party and then quit the game.

Then, until night, when night fell again, the familiar nightmare surrounded her again, and instantly made the little girl who fell in love at first sight return from her dream to reality, and once again trembled in the face of the terrifying nightmare before her.

However, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but this time seemed a little different from the previous ones... Because at the end of the nightmare, although she still couldn't escape the fate of death, she didn't know if it was because she was thinking about something or dreaming about something, at the last moment of death, she suddenly saw that familiar figure appear in front of her again.

It feels... so safe!

She told her good friend Xiao Jing about this matter. Because she was introverted, she had to ask Xiao Jing to help her find someone. Xiao Jing naturally agreed to it and also brought her the latest news from the outside.

Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is indeed a weird game. There is no extra information or strategy about this game on the Internet. Even the posts will be deleted instantly in less than a few minutes, as if someone is deliberately concealing this game. Even in this situation, Xiao Jing told Qi Xiao the news he got after inquiring from many sources: the death of four anchors!

78. Narrow Escape

"Xiao Qi, remember, when I'm not around recently, no matter who comes looking for you or knocks on the door, don't answer!"

That day, Xiao Jing reminded herself seriously:

"This game is so weird, and someone actually died in it. I suspect this might be a murder case using the game as a tool. Although the motive is unclear, we need to be cautious just in case. Remember... if anything happens, you must contact me immediately, and don't respond to anyone else!"

She was timid and fearful by nature, and she was also trusting of others. If someone had bad intentions, it would be easy for them to deceive her. Qi Xiao, who was very clear about this, nodded without hesitation.

Not long after she had kept Xiao Jing's instructions in mind, someone came to see her by coincidence that day and said her name very familiarly, which made Qi Xiao scared instantly. Although it seemed that the other party just asked a question and left directly, she still contacted her good friend Xiao Jing as soon as possible. After Xiao Jing rushed over, she seemed to feel uneasy. A figure flashed through Qi Xiao's mind almost instantly.

'Maybe... go look for her?'

If it is fate, then I hope we can meet again this time... It doesn't matter even if I am stepped on by you!

With this idea in mind, Qi Xiao immediately brought Xiao Jing into the game... It was a weird game as usual, a hodgepodge of horror scenes as usual. However, the truly terrifying thing was listening to the discussions about the game or sacrifices around them. However, few of them knew that the so-called sacrifices were actually already dead.

What are the characteristics of the offerings?

At that moment, listening to the people around her discussing the information about the sacrifice and the results of their exploration, a doubt suddenly flashed through Qi Xiao's mind, and this doubt was quickly answered... when she was dreaming that night!

"It seems all the offerings are young girls?"

A girl? How old?

"Yes, yes, and they were all quite beautiful, with handsome features and unique looks. It's just that the way they died was a bit..."

I should be considered...ugly, right?

"Eh~ Stop it, I almost vomited when I saw the first corpse, and especially the look in his eyes before he died... It was like a newbie crying at their first horror movie!"

My first time watching a horror movie... well, I didn't cry! Absolutely not! I was just a little sleepy, so I just cried physically!

"Isn't it? The game planners are really hardworking, they can actually make the person's expression so lifelike... If I didn't know this was a game, I would have almost thought she was really scared to death!"

Scaring someone to death is a bit exaggerated, right? They are all horror game streamers. Unless they are haunted by nightmares every day and have a mental breakdown...

"Nightmare...scared to death?"

Celebration… …

As if realizing something, Qi Xiao's face turned pale at this moment!

"I am... a sacrifice?"

Although I don’t know which one it is, this is already the fourth day, and there are only three days left. No matter which one it is, it means that I... will not live long?

"me……"

The originally calm face turned pale in an instant. Fear made Qi Xiao's whole body start to tremble non-stop at this moment. When his emotions fluctuated too much, even the system issued a heartbeat reminder. If he continued to get excited, he would most likely be forced to log off, but... but... was he... going to die?

No one would not be afraid when faced with fear, especially for Qi Xiao, who was already quite timid. He suddenly realized that something like this was happening. Although there was no confirmation, he might just be scaring himself. But, but...

“No…no, no…I don’t want it…I don’t want it!”

She desperately shook her head and looked around in disbelief, not knowing how she had actually walked away from the crowd and into a horror movie... There were no ghosts, but at this moment she would rather something rushed out to scare her, so as to calm herself down, but... there was nothing... There was no sound of birds singing in the desolate forest, there was only long silence, as if this forest was directly isolated from the world. No matter which direction Qi Xiao looked, all she could see were the dead trees.

Fear made her pupils shrink, terror made her run non-stop, the trembling in her heart made her want to scream, but when the sound reached her throat, she couldn't make a single sound. After running for who knows how long, she suddenly saw... a figure!
