Horror simulator, if you survive till tomorrow, you win

Ito Jun pushed up the night vision goggles and rubbed his itchy and painful eyes. When he looked again, the oil-paper umbrella monster changed from a red oil-paper umbrella to a one-legged woman holding an oil-paper umbrella.

"Oh, Master, have you noticed that there is no one around..."

The driver didn't know whether he understood or not, and asked Ito Jun anxiously.

Although it was a rainy day and the sky was dark, it was still around four in the afternoon. There should still be pedestrians wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas on the road, but the drivers of the vehicles coming and going could not see a thing.

Even the sign at the store entrance was dim, and the door was closed, so it was impossible to tell whether there was anyone inside.

Is it the middle world again?

Ito Jun realized what was going on. He thought that the driver had been driving for a long time and found that the surroundings were different, so he came back to ask for help.

"To the outskirts of Hachioji City."

Ito Jun reported Oshikiri's residence.

Although we don't know how to actively enter and exit the middle world, Oshikiri's castle has the ability to travel through different dimensions, so maybe we can find a way out from there.

Hachioji City is also in Tokyo and is not far away. The driver drove the car to 180 mph in one breath, flying through the deserted streets, and arrived at the outskirts of Hachioji City in less than half an hour.

During this period, Ito Jun had been keeping an eye on the rear, and the Oil-Paper Umbrella Monster was also very perseverant, following all the way from Tokyo City to Hachioji City without giving up.

Seeing the Oshikiri family's castle from afar, after the car arrived, Ito Jun immediately opened the door and rushed over.

The castle-like wall had no gate, so Ito Jun ran straight in and the driver hurriedly followed him.

However, just five steps away, the oil-paper umbrella monster landed behind the driver, and the red oil-paper umbrella covered the driver's head.

In an instant, the driver's body froze.

Staring at Ito Jun's back, I couldn't move forward even half a step.

Chapter 55: The Second Oshikiri

"anyone there?"

Ito Jun shouted loudly, pinching the old seal.

Ito Jun looked around. Since he had never been here before, he couldn't tell the difference between the castle in the middle world and the castle in the surface world.

I have only one feeling, which is that it’s really fucking huge!

I don’t know how it was built, and Oshikiri’s parents are probably not normal people.

"Who's out there?"

The door of the villa inside the city wall was closed, but a young voice was heard from inside.

"I'm here to take shelter from the rain. Please, let me in."

Ito Jun's face lit up with joy and he spoke quickly.

"Don't try to fool me! I recognized your voice! Get out of here! I don't welcome anyone named Ito Jun here!"

From it came a vibrating sound of disgust and fear.

Ito Jun blinked innocently.

What's going on? You don't know this person, do you?

Having said that, Ito Jun could probably guess what the situation was.

Oshikiri must have met himself in another dimension, and some not-so-nice things happened.

"I will shoot in three seconds. It's up to you to open the door or not."

Ito Jun took out his pistol, turned on the safety, and pointed it at the door.

"Don't mess around, I'll open the door."

Oshikiri panicked and spoke quickly.

Ito Jun looked back and saw the oil-paper umbrella monster standing at the castle entrance not far away, staring at him.

As soon as the door opened, a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old appeared in front of Ito Jun, and Ito Jun walked in quickly.

Oshikiri also took a look at the oil-paper umbrella monster outside, then turned to look at Ito Jun. A fierce light flashed in his eyes. He raised his right hand behind his back and inserted a syringe into Ito Jun's neck.

In a flash, Ito Jun bent his body, rolled forward on the ground, turned around, and pointed the gun at Oshikiri.

"Humph, I knew you were dishonest."

Ito Jun looked at Oshikiri with a sneer.

It turns out that Ito Jun had long known that Oshikiri was not trustworthy. After all, no one knew whether the Oshikiri in this world was a good Oshikiri or an evil Oshikiri.

So ever since Oshikiri opened the door, Ito Jun has been on guard against him. When he turned his back to Oshikiri, he was observing the shadow on the ground. As soon as Oshikiri made any movement, he immediately noticed it.

"Okay, I apologize. I'm sorry, Ito-san. Please forgive me."

Oshikiri bowed ninety degrees and spoke sincerely.

"If apologies are also needed, what is the use of the police?"

"Even though that's the case, Ito-san doesn't dare to call the police, right?"

"The police have guns, and I have a gun too, so I am equal to the police and can completely punish criminal acts on their behalf."

Oshikiri was stunned by Ito Jun's righteous look. He had met several Itos in other dimensions, but none of them was so shameless.

"Even if you kill me, you won't be able to survive."

Oshikiri looked towards the door and saw the Oil-Paper Umbrella Monster standing on the steps holding a red umbrella. The rain dripping from its body formed puddles on the ground.

"Do you have a weapon?"

"Human weapons cannot harm monsters."

Oshikiri's face was gloomy. Living in such a place, he had a certain understanding of creatures like monsters. Only monsters could hurt monsters.

"You never know. What's in that syringe?"

Ito Jun's eyes fell on the syringe in Oshikiri's hand. If he remembered correctly, the evil Oshikiri had studied many dangerous drugs in order to grow taller.

"It's just an anesthetic."

Oshikiri's eyes were wandering and he said things that no one believed.

"Try it and anesthetize the oil-paper umbrella monster."

Ito Jun said so.

"Is this a way to commit suicide? I won't go. I'm going to die anyway. It's the same whether I'm killed by you or by her."

Oshikiri said excitedly.

"Give this to you too. She's afraid of this thing."

Ito Jun threw the old seal to Oshikiri, who took the old seal and tentatively extended it towards the oil-paper umbrella monster. The oil-paper umbrella monster showed a look of disgust and jumped back a step.

"If it's really useful, why don't you use it yourself?"

Oshikiri looked at Ito Jun suspiciously.

Ito Jun said nothing and pointed the gun at Oshikiri.

With a glimmer of hope, Oshikiri walked towards the oil-paper umbrella monster with the old seal and syringe.

Ito Jun pulled down his night vision goggles and stared at the oil-paper umbrella that was emitting a green light.

Oshikiri approached step by step. The oil-paper umbrella monster was forced into a corner and did not put up any resistance. Oshikiri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Maybe this weirdness isn't that scary.

Oshikiri plucked up his courage, bent down, inserted the syringe into the exposed thigh of the oil-paper umbrella monster, and injected the height-increasing fluid in the syringe as quickly as possible.

However, there was no change in the Oil-Paper Umbrella Monster's body.

Oshikiri couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. As soon as he looked up, he met the eyes of the oil-paper umbrella monster. Intense fear crawled all over Oshikiri's body like ants, and his legs began to go weak.

The oil-paper umbrella monster pushed its red umbrella forward, Oshikiri's body stiffened, and the old seal slipped from his hand. Ito Jun vaguely heard a few light sounds, and two cracks appeared on the red umbrella of the oil-paper umbrella monster.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Ito Jun fired three shots in a row, accurately hitting the red oil-paper umbrella in a straight line from the door.

From Ito Jun's perspective, he could clearly see several holes appearing on the oil-paper umbrella, and white smoke seemed to be coming out of it.

The oil-paper umbrella monster, which had suffered multiple injuries, jumped up, but it did not jump towards Ito Jun. Instead, it jumped out from the four-meter-high wall, and jumped backwards. Oshikiri under the umbrella also jumped away.

Ito Jun still held the pistol and was extremely alert, even though there were no bullets in the gun.

After a while, the strange atmosphere gradually faded away, and Ito Jun could faintly hear the birds singing outside.

This foreshadows the return from the middle world to the surface world.

"Out?"

Ito Jun was not very sure, so he pushed up the night vision goggles, walked out quietly and looked outside.

Occasionally, pedestrians passed by on the small road covered with drizzle. Birds that had not returned to their nests landed on the wall and chirped pitifully. It was cold and cool yet full of life. This was truly a surface world.

"Great."

Ito Jun put down his pistol, breathed a sigh of relief, and ran over to pick up the old seal.

We got the old seal, got rid of the oil-paper umbrella monster, and occupied the Oshikiri family. Today's operation can be said to be a great success.

"Who are you? Why are you at my house?"

At this moment, a questioning voice came from behind, and Ito Junichi turned around and pointed the gun over reflexively.

At the entrance of the villa, a gloomy young man was standing there. He looked exactly like Oshikiri who had just been taken away by the oil-paper umbrella monster. After seeing the appearance of Ito Jun, he showed an expression of astonishment and realization.

"Ito from this world? I see. You killed Oshikiri from this world. No wonder I didn't feel any resistance. I thought I was still in the original world."

Oshikiri raised his hands in surrender, with an expression that was either relieved or more troubled.

Chapter 56: Evil Ito

Although the exterior style is that of a medieval castle, the interior lobby is of ordinary modern style.

Ito Jun sat on the sofa, and Oshikiri took out barley tea skillfully like the owner of the castle and poured a cup for Ito Jun.

Of course Ito Jun didn't drink it. He just held the teacup and stared at Oshikiri as he sat down opposite him.

"For your own safety, please explain."

Ito Jun said so.

"This castle has a portal to another dimension."

Oshikiri put his hands on his thighs and spoke in a low voice.

"..."

Ito Jun stared at Oshikiri, waiting for him to continue.

Oshikiri also looked at Ito Jun. They looked at each other for a long time, but no one spoke.

"Don't you doubt it? Or do you think I'm crazy?"

After waiting for a long time and seeing no sign of surprise from Ito Jun, Oshikiri couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you think I'm here?"

Ito Jun asked back.

"Are you also Jun Ito from another dimension?"

Oshikiri asked in surprise.

"No, I just heard that the castle leads to another dimension. As for Oshikiri in this dimension, I didn't kill him. He was taken away by the monk Karasan."

Ito Jun told the truth, and Oshikiri fell into confusion. Could it be that the self in each dimension would tell everyone about things in the other dimension?

Moreover, Oshikiri's death was really unique, as he was taken away by the monk with a Tang umbrella.

"I need information about the other dimension, and you seem very familiar with me."

Ito Jun leaned forward, his face sullen, exerting pressure on Oshikiri.

Oshikiri was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on the table, as if studying the pattern on it.
