Horror simulator, if you survive till tomorrow, you win

She looked to be the same age as Ito Jun, or slightly older. The woman looked at Ito Jun with her sparkling blue eyes and asked, "Are you Saetsuki's assistant as well?"

"Hello, my name is Ito Jun."

Hearing the resistance in the words, Ito Jun smiled wryly and stretched out his right hand.

"My name is Toriko Nishina, and I'm Saetsuki's student and assistant."

The other party simply introduced himself.

"What a coincidence, I'm also Saetsuki's student."

Ito Jun said.

Toriko Nishina's face puffed up a little.

"We will all act together from now on. Let's become friends."

Runma Saetsuki smiled without changing her expression.

"She's going to join us, too? Excuse me, but the other world is too dangerous and not a place to go to for fun."

Ito Jun frowned and objected.

“I’ve been there twice.”

Toriko Nishina said loudly.

"No matter how many times you go there, the risks of the other world will not decrease. You should be responsible for your own life."

Ito Jun spoke righteously, as if he was really concerned about Toriko Nishina's life safety.

Chapter 128 Return to the Other World

"I should be the one to say this. I have received special forces military training, and my physical fitness and shooting ability are at the level of a soldier. You are still a high school student, right? At your age, you should study hard at home."

Toriko Nishina acted like a senior and smiled as brightly as the sun.

"By the way, I didn't go to high school in District 11. I only received tutoring from Saetsuki and was admitted to a prestigious university in Tokyo."

As she spoke, Toriko Nishina wanted to touch Ito Jun's head.

"I have solved more than three strange phenomena. How about you?"

"what……"

Toriko Nishina's palm froze in the air.

Why should the weak fight?

Ito Jun narrowed his eyes.

“That’s amazing. That’s amazing.”

Nishina Toriko's hand suddenly dropped down and touched Ito Jun's head, then immediately retracted. She put one hand on her waist and said shyly, "In that case, let's work together, Ito-kun."

Ito Jun looked at Runma Saetsuki. Runma Saetsuki stood there quietly, inexplicably giving Ito Jun a very distant feeling, as if she was standing on the other side of the world.

Facing Ito Jun's gaze, Runma Saeki's expression changed. A gentle smile appeared on her face. The feeling of alienation suddenly disappeared without a trace. It was as if Saeki from a distance had returned to her front, and the smile that made people want to get close to her became within reach.

"You are excellent students that I can trust. I hope you can build good relationships. You can't go far without companions."

"Sister Renxue, please give me your guidance."

It is impossible to deny what Runma Saeki said, "friends" and trustworthy friends are all helpful in exploring strange phenomena.

"Ito-kun, let's work hard together from now on."

So, Ito Jun extended his right hand to Nishina Toriko, and Nishina Toriko also gave a friendly smile.

Although she felt unhappy that half of Saetsuki was taken away by Ito Jun, in front of Saetsuki, Toriko Nishina did not want to have a conflict with Ito Jun, who was also a student of Runma Saetsuki.

Of course, Jun Ito had the same idea.

This was the first time he knew that Runma Saetsuki had other students.

But, if you think about it carefully, it seems normal. After all, Runma Saeki's job is a tutor.

A gloomy haze appeared beneath my eyes.

The three of them walked into the long and narrow community building, took the elevator, and entered the order of the floor buttons, which were the fourth floor, the second floor, the sixth floor, the second floor, the tenth floor, and the fifth floor. When they arrived at the fifth floor, the woman whose face could not be seen clearly appeared again, running from the corridor to take the elevator.

Then came the first floor, the third floor, the eighth floor, the second floor, the seventh floor, the tenth floor...the numbers on the display lights had turned into incomprehensible text, and the elevator finally stopped on the top floor.

The elevator door opened, and Ito Jun, Nishina Toriko, and Runma Saeki walked onto the rooftop of the abandoned building.

"Let's go to the north side this time. Last time I left, I found a town on the north side, but it was too late, so I didn't get to explore it."

Runma Saeki walked along the guardrail to the north side, and Ito Jun looked at her and was shocked.

To the north of the building was a sparsely wooded forest with rocky outcrops visible from it. In front of the forest was a large town.

No, it just looks like a town at first glance. And its scope is not that vast, it is just a village.

However, although Jun Ito had never been to the Kita district before, he did not remember seeing such a place when he looked from the top floor before. Judging from the roofs with fallen tiles and the walls stained by the sun and rain, it did not look like they were built recently.

Not only that, inside the town, there were figures moving, but they were too far away to be seen clearly.

Runma Saetsuki decided on the direction, and Ito Jun and Nishina Toriko naturally would not deny it. The three of them climbed up the ladder that creaked when stepped on to reach the ground and headed towards the town in the north.

The inner world is full of dangers, but it is not too dangerous during the day. At least within the area within sight, it is just twisting and turning.

The strange phenomenon of twisting and turning can be eliminated or avoided. Because it will reduce the san value, Runjian Saeki and the other two did not provoke the twisting and turning. Even if they met it, they would avoid it and the twisting and turning did not chase them.

"Is Sister Renxue a foreigner? There aren't any special forces in District 11."

In the silent woods, not even the sound of wind blowing through the leaves could be heard. Only the footsteps of three people could be heard. Ito Jun broke the silence and asked Nishina Toriko.

"I was born in Canada. My mother is a soldier in a special force called JTF-2."

“Why would Canadians come to District 11?”

“They are all dead. My mother is from District 11, so I want to visit her hometown.”

"Feel sorry."

"It doesn't matter. They died a long time ago. I have accepted this fact."

After walking a few steps, Ito Jun suddenly felt something was strange.

Why do we use different nouns for mother and mom?

"Did you become Saetsuki's student this year?"

Toriko Nishina suddenly asked.

"Well, in June this year, Saeki tutored me for a month."

"That means you and Saetsuki have only known each other for two months."

"Ah."

After hearing Ito Jun's response, Nishina Toriko fell silent.

She and Saetsuki have known each other for two years, and it was only this year that Saetsuki brought her to the other world. This disparity in treatment made her feel quite unhappy.

"If possible, I hope you all won't come into contact with the other world."

A deep voice sounded from the front, and Toriko Nishina looked at Runma Saetsuki's back: "Saezuki is also willing to stay away from the other world?"

"..."

Runma Saetsuki did not answer.

"If I don't do anything, I will just stand still and watch you go further and further away without doing anything myself."

Toriko Nishina said firmly.

To her, Runma Saetsuki is her only friend. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, she will not let Runma Saetsuki go alone.

"If you wanted to stay away from me, you shouldn't have approached me in the first place."

Ito Jun said calmly.

"Ugh……"

Runjian Saetsuki sighed, and said with a mixture of sadness and joy: "In fact, I am very happy that you can say that. I need companions, and I don't want to die without anyone knowing... If I die in the other world, I hope someone will bring back the news of my death."

"If even Saetsuki can't go back, then I will probably have to stay here forever."

Toriko Nishina laughed and expressed her feelings in a joking tone.

"Don't say such unlucky words. Saeki, you have been exploring the other world for a year, right? Since you didn't die before, you won't die in the future!"

Ito Jun had never seen Runma Saeki so pessimistic. When he thought about the simulation content that Runma Saeki would disappear within half a month, his expression became serious.

Perhaps, Runma Saeki already had a premonition.

Chapter 129: Strange Town

Walking out of the forest, suddenly a man-made road came into view.

The asphalt road beneath my feet was cracked like the Mexican wilderness, with lush weeds growing from the cracks. The wires hanging weakly from the tilted poles swayed constantly in the wind. The houses on both sides were silent, with no signs of anyone living inside.

With such a depressing scene, it is most appropriate to call it a ghost town.

"Are you Jun Ito, Toriko Nishina, and Saetsuki Runma?"

Suddenly, a slightly unclear and low male voice sounded from behind.

Toriko Nishina shuddered all over, turned around subconsciously, and pointed her gun at the source of the sound.

"Yeah, that's right, I found them, I'll deal with them right away."

Ito Jun looked back and found that the person who spoke was a man in blue-gray work clothes.

He was holding a cell phone in one hand and talking on it, while walking over with a swagger. The person who came was a strange middle-aged man. As for the chest of the work clothes he was wearing, you could see an embroidery similar to a windmill or petal pattern sewn on it.

As for appearance... it's impossible to tell.

All I knew was that the person was a middle-aged man, but I couldn't recognize his appearance at all. When Ito Jun carefully observed his facial features, he vaguely recognized details such as his thick eyebrows and a beard on his face, but his brain still couldn't piece together the other person's complete appearance based on the above conditions.

"Don't move, or I'll shoot."

Toriko Nishina shouted sternly.

"You will cause trouble to others by doing this. Anyway, please leave here quickly."

The man sighed with an impatient look.

"Who are you? You'd better not do anything that will cause people to overreact."

Ito Jun took out a fist-sized grenade and shouted vigilantly.

The man looked at Ito Jun, Runma Saeki, and Nishina Toriko in confusion. He gave people the feeling that he could not understand what Ito Jun and Nishina Toriko said.

"Uncle Spacetime?"

Runma Saeki frowned slightly and suddenly uttered a noun.

Ito Jun was stunned, and the corresponding information immediately appeared in his mind.

The time-space uncle in the urban legend, the victim suddenly broke into a deserted world one day. He was clearly on the way to school, commuting, etc., but when he came to his senses, he found that there were no vehicles or pedestrians around.

The victim met an uncle in a place where there was no one else except himself.

Most of the people who saw him were dressed as an operator or civil servant. He would be very surprised to see each victim, and then he would unreasonably accuse them with words like "Why are you here? Get out of here!" After receiving the confusing warning, when the victim came to his senses again, he had returned to the original world.

This story, like Kisaragi Station, is widely circulated as a strange story about accidentally entering a different world. The uncle is responsible for monitoring who invades the different world and sending those who accidentally enter back, or he is a member of the monitoring organization - most of the views are as described above.

So, is Uncle Spacetime a human being, or just a weird phenomenon?

Jun Ito pulled down the night vision goggles.
