Horror simulator, if you survive till tomorrow, you win

"what?!"

The next moment, Ito Jun couldn't understand what he was seeing.

That was not an uncle, nor was it even a creature that walked on two feet.

It is a tall plant that grows out of the ground.

A straight green stem extends from the asphalt road, splitting in two in the middle, with five clusters of red fruits at each end that look like salmon eggs. The entire stem is covered with sword-shaped leaves that sway gently in the wind.

Once you recognize it as a plant, you can no longer think of it as a human being.

Ito Jun subconsciously looked towards the town and was so scared that he almost screamed.

Before I knew it, the surrounding area was full of plants.

Right in the center of the doorpost of the nearest house, there is a plant that looks like a sunflower, with blue, white, and gold particles on the edge. Four large leaves over 30 centimeters long, shaped like octagonal gold plates, grow from near the roots.

There were also white plants with leaves that looked like spiders with eight legs spread out, poking their heads out from the darkness of the electric poles, with many balls like galls in the middle of their stems, and the tops were open like the nibs of pens, and there were also huge light green masses that looked like dandelion cotton wool.

Within a few meters, there are plants that look like people raising their hands. On the short trunks grow white thorny fruits that look like human heads. The edges of the ud-shaped leaves growing from the branches are open like teeth, and the funnel-shaped corollas are lavender in color.

……

The scene in front of me was like many pedestrians suddenly stopped in the middle of their walk, and then all of them were replaced by plants. It felt like playing "statue", and when I looked back, everything had changed.

This strange atmosphere gave Ito Jun goose bumps all over his body, and he took off his night vision goggles without thinking.

However, the town had not changed. He stood on a deserted road, surrounded by tall plants that swayed gently in the cool breeze.

Uncle Toki, Saetsuki Runma, and Toriko Nishina have also disappeared. In this plant city, he is the only living person left.

"What on earth is this?"

Jun Ito couldn't bear the pressure and threw the grenade out.

"boom!"

Accompanied by intense flames and shock waves, the green plants were blown to pieces and Ito Junya fell to the ground.

The distance was too close. Fortunately, it was a liquid bomb and did not rely on fragments to hurt people. The attack range was well controlled. Although Ito Jun was knocked down by the shock wave, he was not injured.

Getting up from the ground, Ito Jun saw that the plants that were blown to pieces were recovering as if time had gone back. It only took five seconds for them to return to their original state.

Not only that, the plant was closer to him.

What Ito Jun was most confident in was his eyesight. Before it was blown up, the plant was twenty meters away from him, but now it was only nineteen meters away.

Ito Jun's mind was in a mess and he slowly backed away.

The plant just grew there, without further movement or speaking to him.

It was as if everything that happened in the past few seconds was an illusion.

"Damn it! How could it be an illusion!"

Ito Jun turned and ran.

He avoided the plants along the way and headed deeper into the town. There were no obstacles along the way, and he encountered no attacks, no monsters or humans.

In this empty town, the only plants, almost as big as humans, stand quietly under the sunset.

Deep terror washed over Ito Jun's brain, and he desperately needed to find a living being, even if it was weird!

But no! No! Still no!

Ito Jun ran frantically around the town, but couldn't find anyone who could make a sound.

Chapter 130 Flower Field

So, Jun Ito left the road and went straight into the yard of the house.

The entrance door was wide open and covered with weeds, the abandoned tricycle was rusted, and the old tires were filled with sewage. The posters posted on the grid-like walls were severely faded, with only the outlines of the characters still vaguely preserved.

While Ito Jun was running around, he was shocked to discover another unusual phenomenon.

This town has no end!

When he looked down from the top floor, he remembered that the area here was not very large, but now no matter how far he ran, he could not leave the town.

When Ito Jun crossed the parking lot with a dilapidated outer iron fence and ran back to the road again, the sun had been blocked by the buildings and the silhouettes of various plants vaguely emerged from the afterglow.

This scene, as if in a gloom, the inhabitants of darkness were silently observing him. Ito Jun couldn't help but feel horrified and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Is there something weird hiding in the shadows, or is the whole city one weird phenomenon?

Thinking of a possibility, Ito Jun's brain trembled. He raised his right hand and summoned the ancestors of the Makita family, trying to open the door to the surface world.

One after another, huge skulls were pulled out from the void and fell heavily on the streets of the town. The dust was gently raised and flew all over the sky like dandelion seeds.

Then, the skulls began to change, one by one turning into tall plants. This change continued to spread. From Ito Jun's perspective, he could only see a cluster of flowers as gorgeous as human faces breaking out of the ground in the distance and running towards him quickly.

The next moment, the plant devoured him.

Foreseeing such a scene, Ito Jun disconnected the mutated part without hesitation and sent the ancestor Makita back to the middle world.

The flowers that were spreading towards him suddenly stopped, and the nearest plant was twenty meters away. Looking at the motionless plant, Ito Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"……rattan!"

"No... Zhang, I'm here...!"

“…Come down!”

"……listen……?"

There was a faint sound in the wind, and Ito Jun looked around but found nothing.

He walked forward carefully, never getting close to the plants.

Neither Sadako nor Junichi reacted to this strange phenomenon, so Ito Jun suspected that it was an environmental weirdness in the back room or the other world.

Environmental type... a confusing method similar to the ghost wall?

Jun Ito suddenly had an idea.

Is it possible that Saetsuki and Nishina are nearby! But I just can't see them?

When I suddenly realized this, my perspective suddenly changed.

The town streets were empty, all the plants had disappeared, and Saeki and Nishina stood in front of Ito Jun, looking at him worriedly.

"Huh~~ You finally responded."

As she spoke, Toriko Nishina gasped for breath. She didn't know how long she had been shouting, and her voice became hoarse.

"Ito, you just suddenly ran away. We chased you for a long time before we woke you up."

Runma Saetsuki was covered in dust and looked a little disheveled.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have mistaken you for something else."

Ito Jun seemed to be lost in thought. He looked around and found that all the plants had disappeared like a daydream.

However, he still remembered that the place where Runma Saeki and Nishina Toriko were standing was a plant of the same height just a few seconds ago.

"What did you see?"

"Plants, all kinds of plants... They seem like people disguised as plants. I feel like they are always observing me..."

"plant?"

Runma Saeki and Nishina Toriko looked around. Where did the plants come from in this deserted town?

No, if we talk about plants, there are indeed some.

The exterior walls of the buildings were covered with vines, unknown plants resembling black algae hung from the roadside ditches, and weeds with strong vitality broke through the ground and grew tenaciously.

However, no plant meets the characteristics described by Ito Jun.

"It can't be seen with the naked eye... You have to increase your inspiration or lower your san value to see it... That's also a strange phenomenon."

Jun Ito felt a sense of crisis, he closed his eyes and pulled down the night vision goggles.

"You guys hold my hand."

After saying that, Runma Saeki and Nishina Toriko immediately grabbed Ito Jun's hands.

Ito Jun opened his eyes, and the scene that came into his sight made him gasp.

He was surrounded by plants as big as adults.

The plants gathered together and formed several circles with Ito Jun as the center.

It felt like he had accidentally stumbled into a field of mutated sunflowers, and the situation was like the end of "One, Two, Three, Statue" - the plants stopped moving just before they were about to touch Ito Jun, and just stood there.

What would happen if plants met Jun Ito?

Ito Jun couldn't think of it, nor did he dare to think of it.

Perhaps, what happened just now was more thrilling than he imagined.

Ito Jun felt creepy. He turned his head and looked to both sides. There were two strange plants in the place where Runma Saetsuki and Nishina Toriko were. The two people disappeared silently, and he could not feel his hands being touched.

"Ghost Wall? How can it be such a simple phenomenon!"

Ito Jun became anxious.

If it was an optical illusion, the hands he was holding would not disappear, and Runma Saeki and Nishina Toriko had really turned into two plants now.

What to do? Set a fire?

There are incendiary bombs in Ito Jun's bag, so it is not difficult to set fire to the nearby plants. The difficulty is that the plants recover too quickly, so it will be of no use even if they are burned.

This is a desperate situation. Without night vision goggles, you can't see the plants.

Using night vision goggles, I couldn't see Saeki and Nishina. Besides, I couldn't escape by abandoning my conscience. From another perspective, the town seemed endless.

Ito Jun has already grasped the monkey's paw. As a last resort, he can only use this disposable wish-making machine, although it will cost a certain price...

At this moment, the world in front of me began to change again.

All the plants surrounding Ito Jun disappeared, leaving only Runma Saeki and Nishina Toriko, who had turned into flowers.

A man in a suit was standing on the opposite side of the road and looked back with a surprised expression on his face. On his chest was a brooch shaped like a windmill or a petal.

When the man was about to speak, the scenery in front of him changed again. He could see a man wearing a white mask, standing next to a bicycle, shaking a paper shrine and telling horrific urban legends.

Immediately afterwards, Kamishida Ishiya disappeared, and the figure of Runma Saetsuki appeared in front.

Ito Jun turned around subconsciously, and without knowing when, the only thing left by his side was the flower that Toriko Nishina had turned into.

Ito Jun pushed up the night vision goggles, and Nishina Toriko squatted on the ground and covered her ears with her hands, but Runma Saetsuki disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 131 Fear Connection

"Nishina! Nishina!"

Ito Jun shook Nishina Toriko's shoulders hard. Nishina Toriko suddenly raised her head as if she had suddenly woken up from a nightmare and looked at Ito Jun in horror.

"What did you see?"

"What did you see?"

Toriko Nishina repeated it, her eyes gradually becoming clearer from her trance.

"Flower fields."

"Flower field?"

"After you put on the night vision goggles, the surroundings suddenly turned into a flower field, with flowers everywhere and the sound of running water. It felt like there were many people whispering around me, but there was no one. My feet seemed to be rooted and I couldn't move them. The scenery around me turned into meaningful graphics. The picture made me feel very scared. I felt that if I continued like that, I would lose consciousness, and if I lost consciousness, I would lose my life, so I squatted down with my hands covering my ears and closed my eyes, not looking or listening."

As she recounted her experience, Toriko Nishina's tone became dull, her eyes seemed to be staring into the distance, and her arms were covered with goose bumps.

For some reason, as he listened to her story, Ito Jun began to feel a chill down his spine.

Jun Ito realized that he had underestimated the danger of this world.

Ever since he got the mirror stone and transformed it into night vision goggles, Ito Jun has regarded the route ahead as a way to kill monsters and level up.
