Horror simulator, if you survive till tomorrow, you win

It has been three days since he traveled through time, but Ito Jun feels like he has spent a very long time.

“My current experience is just in the simulator?”

Ito Jun suddenly had an idea, but he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

How could this be possible? If I could use a simulator within a simulator, wouldn’t that be like using a Russian nesting doll?

In just three days, he had a more exciting life than the entire previous year. This was probably the reason.

"That's great, Mingmei is finally okay."

"That's it."

When he reached the door of a room, Ito Jun vaguely heard a voice coming from the crack of the door.

It seems to be the Hotei couple, they are celebrating Xiaosheng and Mingmei's escape from death.

Ito Jun couldn't help but smile. Although he was in a haunted apartment, the neighbors around him didn't seem to be bad people.

"We are finally out of food."

“Even the water supply was shut off.”

The smile on Ito Jun's face froze, and was replaced by a loud laugh from the room.

"My God!"

"is it?"

The Budai couple were talking about things related to survival in happy voices.

"I'm sorry that your wedding has brought you to this state."

"It's okay, I don't care."

"What should we do for dinner?"

A distressed voice floated out, and Ito Jun inexplicably felt a strange feeling. He stood at the door of the Butei couple and did not move forward.

The sound coming from the house was a little strange. The Budai couple, who were worried about what to do without food, seemed to have started eating, but the sound was like they were sucking something.

“It’s delicious.”

“It’s delicious.”

After saying this, the Hotei couple started eating again. The strange slurping sound made Ito Jun suddenly feel creepy for some reason.

The feeling in his heart disappeared, and the strange atmosphere eroded Ito Jun's body.

What exactly happened in the room?

Ito Jun didn't dare to think about it too much.

However, along with such sounds, some imaginations always emerge from Ito Jun's mind.

Ito Jun quickly covered his ears and quickly left the Butei couple's house.

Chapter 7 Headless Sculpture

Ta-ta-ta-ta-!

In the quiet bedroom, the sound of marbles rolling suddenly rang out.

Gululu——!

Ai Shi shuddered all over, curled up into a ball, and clutched the quilt tightly with both hands.

The rolling sound disappeared.

Aishi's body relaxed.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-!

After just a few breaths, the sound of marbles rolling was heard again, and Ai Shi's body instinctively tensed up.

She tried to suppress her fear, but her brain couldn't help but make associations.

In the middle of the night, in a ghost apartment, an invisible figure was playing marbles alone.

Who is that? Is that really a living person?

Ai Shi felt a chill on her back.

"Another one is missing."

In the corridor on the third floor, Ito Jun scratched his cheek, took out a soul stone from his pocket and threw it forward.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-!

The Soul Stone leapt to the other side of the corridor.

The dim night enveloped the corridor, and soon the Soul Stone disappeared from Ito Jun's sight.

Gululu——!

The Soul Stone rolled at the end of the corridor, more than twenty meters away from where Ito Jun was, and the area without moonlight was completely dark.

The two areas seem like two isolated worlds.

"—!"

In an instant, the rolling sound stopped abruptly.

The rolling sound was clearly very powerful, and there was no sound of hitting anything, but I just couldn't hear anything.

The Soul Stone seemed to be swallowed by darkness.

Ito Jun remained calm, took out the last Soul Stone and threw it towards the darkness in the distance.

The Soul Stone bounced on the floor and then disappeared.

Ito Jun patted his clothes to show that his pockets were empty. He turned around and went back to the second floor and walked into his room.

Thick shadows were wriggling in the moonlight. A girl in a white school uniform was standing in the corridor on the second floor. She was looking at Ito Jun's room, holding a soul stone in her hand. She stuck out her little tongue and licked it like a lollipop.

[Please select 10 talents from the following 3 talents. ]

The next day, Thursday, early morning.

After washing up and before going out, Ito Jun turned on the simulator again.

Invisible (white): Your Inspiration is 0.

Three-child life (blue): You will have three children.

Scud Missile (Purple): You run as fast as a Scud missile.

Love of Crafts (white): You can master a craft proficiently.

American Traditional Martial Arts (White): American Iai, you deserve it.

Whitebait (blue): You are very good at swimming.

Fateful peach blossom (blue): chances of love increase.

Zhi Duoxin (white): Intelligence > 10, Family background +2

Fox Taming Technique (Purple): It is said that in the ancient East, there is a mysterious prescription.

Cutting off the love and asking for the way (blue): Never fall in love or get married in your life.

"A little bit, interesting."

The purple talent is mysterious but powerful, three blue talents are baffling, one seems practical, and the white talent is pretty direct.

After thinking about it, Ito Jun made his choice.

Invisible (white): Your Inspiration is 0.

A horrible worldview, the more you see, the faster you die.

Scud Missile (Purple): You run as fast as a Scud missile.

Although I don’t think a mere purple talent can really match the speed of a missile.

However, as we all know, when you are being chased by a bear in the forest, you don't need to be faster than the bear, you just need to be faster than your teammates.

Love Crafts (white): You can master a craft.

Making robots is also a craft, right?

[Reward: Talent [Love Craftsmanship]]

"…A moving sculpture? The one from Junji Ito's manga?"

Jun Ito was reminded of the "Headless Sculpture" in Junji Ito's manga. The art department teachers always liked to carve statues without heads. Until one day, the headless statue came to life, killed the teacher and students in the school, and put their heads on its own head.

As for why the self in the simulator did not learn robot manufacturing but instead learned sculpture, Ito Jun also understood.

Robot manufacturing is too advanced, and the carving technology that can be learned immediately is more suitable for him now. He can carve a statue exactly like himself and also play the role of a robot.

However, the effect of the talent [Invisible] in the simulator made Ito Jun a little confused. Almost every time this talent was activated, he would encounter a man-made disaster.

Inspiration is 0, could it be a negative buff?

At Hanada no Oka High School, Art Department, Jun Ito submitted his application to Mr. Gangbu.

"You want to join the art club?"

Mr. Okabe was surprised because Ito Jun was already a senior high school student. Isn't it strange that he suddenly wanted to join the club at this time?

"Yes, sir, I want to join the art department. I have always been interested in sculpture."

Ito Jun said seriously.

Unable to get a robot in a short period of time, Ito Jun had to settle for the next best thing and use the statue as his body to take the risk instead of himself.

Seeing that Ito Jun seemed very sincere, Mr. Okabe naturally would not refuse him and simply agreed to Ito Jun's application to join the club.

"Hello, Ito-senpai, I'm Shimada."

"Hello, senior. I am from the United States."

In addition to Ito Jun, there were two other members in the art club, one boy and one girl, both of whom were lower grade students. Ito Jun greeted them politely.

“Do you have any basic knowledge about sculpture?”

Mr. Okabe asked Ito Jun.

Ito Jun shook his head, indicating that he had no foundation at all.
