Horror simulator, if you survive till tomorrow, you win

"it hurts!"

Two fists hit the top of the heads of the two young men.

"If you don't want to get beaten, don't come and interfere with our work."

Boss Jiangkou put down his work, came behind the young man and clenched his fists.

"Store, store manager, violence is not allowed..."

Miss Shirahama followed behind Manager Eguchi and spoke quickly.

"It doesn't matter. These guys won't understand if we talk to them about reason."

"No, you didn't say anything at all, did you, Mr. Eguchi?"

The blond young man complained.

"Ah? So you two know each other."

Heiling said in surprise.

"Everyone in this area knows Mr. Eguchi, because TOOBLUE is the only store opened here. But now the only one I want to know is you... It hurts!"

Boss Jiangkou punched the young man on the top of his head again, physically blocking his words from his mouth.

"You're hitting someone again. Even though he's an acquaintance, you still can't use violence, Mr. Eguchi."

Shirahama put his hands on his hips and said with a grin.

"Xiao Bang, you were about to take action in the back just now, right?"

"This kind of hooligans who cause trouble to others should be severely punished."

"It's not that serious, but it's really annoying. Thanks for coming to help in time, otherwise I don't know how to deal with them."

"You're welcome. It's this hot, and if he wastes your time, he's wasting my life."

The three shop assistants took a break from their busy schedule and took advantage of this little episode to chat.

"By the way, Mr. Eguchi, there is still that rumor this year, right? "

The blond young man suddenly mentioned something, and Boss Jiangkou's expression changed subtly.

"Yeah, tell me if you see it."

"Bai told you?"

"Xiao Hemei, give these guys some ice-cold water."

"Ok."

"No!"

A joyful response and screams rang out at the same time, and the two young men ran out of TOOBLUE in a panic.

"What's that rumor?"

Shirahama didn't actually go to get the water. After the young man left, she curiously asked Boss Eguchi.

Ito Jun was serving draft beer to a table of guests. When he heard Shirahama's question, he subconsciously pricked up his ears.

"Mysterious woman, this is a rumor that circulated on the beach last year. It is said that a woman who no one knows will appear on the beach in the summer."

“Is it a ghost story?”

"more or less."

"Are you interested in this?"

"That's it."

Boss Jiangkou, who answered in this way, was a little depressed.

Ito Jun paused for a moment, looked towards the beach, and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

The sea on the other side of the beach, the boundless depths of the ocean, seemed to contain unspeakable horrors.

He seemed to be able to see...

"Hey! A cup of vanilla ice cream."

The customer's shout brought Ito Jun back to his senses. He was stunned for a moment and then walked over quickly.

Maybe it’s an illusion. I worked here for a few days in the simulator and didn’t encounter anything strange.

Jun Ito put aside his delusions about the sea and concentrated on his work.

The sun set at around seven o'clock, and there were only a dozen or twenty people left on the beach, and the number was gradually decreasing. The guests of TOOBLUE were almost gone, and only three or five people were resting.

At this rate, the beach will be deserted by eight o'clock at the latest.

It was almost eight o'clock when the customers left the store. Kurore, Shirahama, Eguchi, and Ito Jun used the remaining ingredients to make dinner. After dinner, just after eight o'clock, Eguchi assigned Ito Jun to go out and take down the sign.

"Okay, you've worked hard, you can go home now."

Boss Jiangkou gave the three men today's salary and let them go home.

“Are you closed tonight?”

Ito Jun put away the 5 yen and asked in confusion.

"There will be no visitors tonight."

Jiangkou said.

"why?"

"Is it related to this job that pays 1 yen per hour?"

"Can you tell us? Although we just met, I think Mr. Jiangkou is a good person."

Jiangkou was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Great existence..."

"what?"

Ito Jun felt puzzled. What Boss Eguchi said sounded a bit weird.

"No, that's not something that can be described in words. Please work normally. I don't want you to be in danger. I only invite you here to keep this store running because no one is willing to work on this beach now."

Boss Jiangkou hesitated to speak and spoke to the three people sincerely.

The three of them looked at each other. Ito Jun's eyelids twitched. Boss Eguchi's words gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

After listening to the description of this great existence, why is it so similar to Cthulhu?

"No, I don't think so."

No matter what, Ito Jun couldn't give up this job since he had never encountered such problems in the simulator.

Just follow the instructions of Mr. Jiangkou, leave when you get off work, stay away from the beach, and don't do anything stupid, and nothing should happen.

After closing, Ito Jun ran back directly. He did not stay on the beach for even a second, nor did he look towards the sea. He ran to the station as fast as he could and took the tram home without any delay on the way.

Chapter 10: Faking Death and Playing as a Substitute

Leaving the station, the streets were empty under the night sky. Because the location is too far from the city, the road from the station to the apartment is quite deserted.

Ito Jun walked quickly on the street, his footsteps making a clattering sound. There was silence all around, and it seemed that the only sound in the entire street was that of Ito Jun.

The cold breath penetrated Ito Jun's pores, and he instinctively felt something was wrong.

Ito Jun quickened his pace and started running.

Turning the corner, a white figure came into Ito Jun's sight.

"Gaya coconut..."

Those resentful eyes met Ito Jun's, and Ito Jun's body became stiff.

"I can't see, I can't see, is that so?"

In an instant, a flash of inspiration came to Ito Jun's mind.

Why is life in a simulator different from life in the real world?

Because it can't be seen.

When his inspiration is 0, he cannot see Kayako and will not be directly affected by her.

But if he can see it, Kayako, whom he has not met in the simulator, will appear in front of him.

Ito Jun raised his stiff feet, turned around and wanted to escape, but saw Kayako again.

There is a Kayako in front of him and behind him at the same time.

“Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle…!”

Not only that, a Kayako climbed down from the left and right walls, like a poisonous snake, ready to spit venom at Ito Jun.

Jun Ito was surrounded.

He had been trapped in a situation from which there was no escape.

"If I can't escape, I'll just have to fight... Don't think I'm made of clay and can only be manipulated by others."

Ito Jun took a deep breath and focused his attention on his right eye. Kayako's figure gradually became blurred, leaving only a dirty notebook floating above Kayako's heart, emitting a green light.

"I can see... Is this something similar to the original body? The host of resentment?"

Ito Jun clenched his fist, but was a little overwhelmed. What should he do after seeing this? Fight Kayako with his fists? Kayako's physical attack power is comparable to Sadako's magic attack power.

“Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle…!”

Kayako gradually approached, as if playing with her prey. They did have the ability to quickly approach their prey, but they didn't do so in order to let humans die in despair and to enjoy the fear of humans before they died.

"Only the eyes are not allowed. So, what about the hands?"

Ito Jun thought quickly and took off his gloves, revealing a transparent right hand.

Ito Jun took the initiative to attack, and stretched out his right hand towards Kayako. His right hand entered the green light. Ito Jun felt that his right hand was sunk into the wet and soft mud. He subconsciously grasped the green light, just like grasping some flowing solid.

This thing can be destroyed!

Jun Ito realized this.

After fixing the blue light, Ito Jun grabbed it with his other hand and tried to tear it apart.

However, Jun Ito immediately realized something else.

Although the light can be fixed into a solid entity by his right hand, if he wants to destroy it, he needs at least a weapon. With his bare hands, he cannot destroy it with his strength.

Suddenly, Ito Jun's wrist became cold, and Kayako reached out and grabbed him.

Ito Jun and Kayako looked at each other, feeling the pressure that made their bones break, and Ito Jun discovered his second mistake.

While he can touch Kayako, Kayako can also touch him, but Kayako's power is far greater than his.

If you can't get rid of Kayako in the first place, you will have to endure Kayako's counterattack.

Ito Jun's feet left the ground, and Kayako lifted his body up with just one hand and threw him towards the wall.

Ito Jun's body hit the wall heavily. The powerful impact was like being hit head-on by a car that braked suddenly, and his bones were about to fall apart.

With a "pop", Ito Jun's cell phone fell out of his pocket.

Ito Jun didn't have the extra energy to care whether his phone would be broken. He tried his best to control his body and stand up, but the damage caused by the impact did not allow his body to move normally.

The energy of the soul cannot repair the injuries of the body.

“Ku ...

The four Kayakos surrounded him, their bodies emitting thick shadows, which merged into one another and gathered into one darkness, as if an impenetrable dark cloud enveloped Ito Jun.
