Chapter 8 'Death Note'

Brother Cheng!

He is a milestone figure in the history of ACG. Even those who entered the field more than ten or twenty years later and have not seen his works know his name. How could Lan Ke not know him?

Looking back, although the paintings were not exactly the same due to the "painting style", they were indeed somewhat similar, which increased Lan Ke's suspicion.

Without any hesitation, Lan Ke directly switched the original search page to 'Navigation to Another World'.

The so-called 'different world navigation' can be understood as a special APP that locks a person's distorted desires in the 'cognitive world' or 'different world' through 'name', 'place' and 'desire'.

What surprised him was that when he entered 'Ito Makoto', it directly displayed 'failed'.

"Is it possible that Makoto's desires aren't enough to form a palace?"

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed possible. After all, Makoto is most famous for the "Good Ship Ending", but in fact there is no such ending in the game. This result is purely because the animation production team incorporated multiple lines into the animation.

Or to put it more directly, the reason for all this was not that he was unfaithful, but that he was unfaithful and did not want to take responsibility, which eventually led to him being 'chopped'.

Although I don't know which path this Makoto is planning to take, as long as it's not an animation path, theoretically he shouldn't be able to enter the 'hall of fame' directly.

For a moment, Lan Ke didn't know whether he should sigh that the "rice flower" environment in this world was really good, or sigh that he had missed a good opportunity.

But overall, I am still happy. After all, in the anime, Makoto deserved to die, but Katsura Kotonoha was just unlucky.

But since he saw it, Lan Ke quietly took out a notebook with the words 'Death Note' written on it, wrote his name on it, and stuffed it into his 'backpack'.

Of course, the words on the cover of the notebook were written by him out of mischievousness, and the notebook was basically filled with people he had met and who he thought had the potential to be born into the "Hall" but who had no problems for the time being.

After all, he had been in this world for less than three days and he had already met people from several worlds. If he didn't remember them, he was really afraid that he would forget them in the future.

The only pity is that now probably only his assistant knows this meme, and I don’t know if the other party will cooperate with him in playing the meme?

With a hint of sadness, Lan Ke quickened his pace and prepared to go to the hardware store first.

He walked so quickly that he didn't notice that outside the gate of Teitan High School, there was a middle-aged man in a leopard print T-shirt sitting in a sports car, smoking and looking at his phone, as if searching for something.

Because he parked his car some distance from the school, no patrolman came to bother him.

It was not until almost an hour later that he put away his phone when he saw Makoto Ito, wearing school uniform but with a look of loss on his face, walking out of the school gate.

"Crack~"

He closed the car door, put on a white suit jacket, put on brown sunglasses, and walked towards Ito Makoto with a mysterious smile...

During this period, Lan Ke had already bought the 'equipment' he needed and started heading towards the 'Impression Space'.

The so-called "Impression Space" is exactly where Lan Ke will be the main activity area as a "Phantom Thief" in the future.

Just as the 'assistant' said last night, the 'Velvet Room' is located in the gap between the material and cognitive worlds. The place where Jotaro Kujo and the others are now is the 'material world', which is also the world where ordinary people live.

In contrast, there is a "spiritual world". The "spiritual world" corresponds to the "material world". It is like "flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water", echoing the material world from a distance.

The spiritual bodies of normal people are not capable of materialization. They are basically a ball of human-like smoke that cannot even be touched. They simply repeat what they do in the outside world, just like a silhouette.

This simple spiritual entity is actually not aggressive, but once the desires of this spiritual entity begin to expand, it will unconsciously attract a being from outside the spiritual and material world to possess it. Once possessed, the so-called "shadow" will be born.

The 'shadow' at this time is somewhat aggressive, but as long as you don't actively provoke it, basically nothing will happen.

But if we go a step further, when desire expands beyond a certain 'threshold', then this distorted desire will be isolated by the 'cognitive world', which is the so-called 'palace'.

The so-called "Phantom Thief" is the one who steals the "twisted desires" of the owners of these "palaces" and restores them to normal.

Of course, due to the correspondence between the 'cognitive world' and the 'material world', stealing distorted desires can help people in the material world return to normal. If you go a step further and kill them, the people in the material world may not die immediately, but they will completely become a 'useless person' due to the complete loss of desire. Even further, they will die directly due to the loss of the desire to survive.

So if the distortion of desire exceeds a certain threshold, one will create one's own "palace", what if it does not reach the threshold but exceeds that of ordinary people?

It's very simple. They are all concentrated in the 'Tokyo Subway Station'. It seems that it is because everyone in Tokyo subconsciously comes here, so the shadows corresponding to ordinary people are also concentrated here.

Although Lan Ke now intends to act as a "Phantom Thief", he has no target yet, and the "subway station" is his only target at the moment.

He was full of expectations for his own 'personality mask'.

Full of anticipation, Lan Ke took the subway to Shinjuku Station, one of the busiest subway stations in the world and also one of the main entrances to Impression Space.

Although it had been confirmed more than once, it was still the first time that Lan Ke had truly traveled to the 'other world'. He was unconsciously a little excited. He took two deep breaths to calm himself down, then changed into a set of sportswear in the toilet in the corner of the subway station and pressed the 'other world navigation' icon.

Soon, he felt dizzy, and then he felt as if he had fallen into water and was surrounded by something strange.

He almost instinctively opened his arms to try to break free from this feeling of restraint.

Unfortunately, before he could find the reason, he discovered that he was already in the "impression space".

"Tick-tick-tick-tick."

Although he was also in a 'cubicle', the darker space than a normal public toilet still made Lan Ke instinctively tense his muscles.

"Crack! Crack!"

When he tried to push open the compartment door to observe the environment outside, a harsh sound of metal friction made Lan Ke almost frown slightly.

The dim space, the flickering light bulbs, the door that kept making strange noises...

Lan Ke felt as if he was on the set of a horror movie.

Although he knew that his location should belong to the "safe zone", considering that reality may not be exactly the same as in the game, Lan Ke, who had already changed into sportswear, decisively pulled out a water pipe that he had "modified" from his "backpack".

It is called a modification because he specially added a crutch to one end of the faucet, and tied the other end with a bandage for a better grip.

The pipes were from a hardware store, and the bandages were from a sporting goods store.

In fact, he originally wanted to buy a metal baseball bat directly. After all, baseball bats are a powerful weapon in various doomsday movies. But after just one look at the price, he had no choice but to give up.

It’s not that the baseball bat is bad, but the water pipe is more cost-effective.

The pure steel water pipe feels a bit heavy in the hand, but it is definitely lethal when swung.

Lan Ke walked out of the bathroom holding the "weapon" and frowned immediately.

It wasn't that he encountered a monster as soon as he went out, but the constant smell of rust and the dripping of water made him feel that the already gloomy "impression space" seemed to become even colder.

Coupled with the black and red color scheme of the impression space, people feel even more depressed.

Although there was not much time, Lan Ke still carefully searched around before walking towards the "turnstile" according to the original map in the subway station.

That’s right, Lan Ke did not directly enter the space below, but walked towards the outside of the subway station which served as a ‘public hall’.

Although I can't leave the game, according to my assistant, the 'impression space' is only a part of the 'consciousness world'. Even if it is the most important part, it doesn't mean that other places are unimportant.

"Da~da~da~"

Stepping on the ground full of puddles, Lan Ke's expression was not good. After all, even if we don't talk about the fact that his socks were probably damp and uncomfortable because of the water, he didn't know how to explain it to Jotaro Kujo after he went back.

But soon he had no time to think about these things.

The 'cognitive world' must be different from the outside world, but when he saw the drizzle falling outside the 'subway station', the commercial street he had walked on yesterday but was now completely submerged in water, and the dilapidated buildings leaning on the water, his brows furrowed even more.

"Is there such a scene in the original novel?"

Combined with the dark sky caused by the dark clouds overhead and the continuous drizzle, the entire "cognitive world" looked like a doomsday world drenched in radioactive rain after a nuclear war, broken and lifeless.

The oppressive atmosphere made him feel as if his breathing became even heavier, and he hurried back to the 'subway station'.

Just looking at the dark sky outside and the drizzle that seemed to have no end in sight, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. If the rain continued, would the subway station be flooded?

"That shouldn't be the case, right? This is a spiritual world after all, so it shouldn't be subject to the laws of physics, right? According to MONA, the 'Public Impression Space' is a collection of the wills and spirits of ordinary people throughout Tokyo. Who knows what lives down there? It's unlikely to be flooded by a 'normal rain,' right?"

But this rain looks very strange, what is going on?

Is it because of the butterfly effect after the fusion of different worlds?

He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Now he knew too few clues and couldn't infer anything. Should he wait until he fell asleep at night and then ask his "assistant"?

The most important thing right now is to "activate" your own "personality mask".

Although his goal is completely different from that of the protagonists in the original work, Lan Ke must possess the power of the "personality mask" in order to achieve his goal.

As for how to activate it?

Lan Ke didn't know, and his assistant was mysterious and didn't say anything. The only thing he could think of was to fight with the "shadow".

But just in case, in addition to the prepared 'equipment', Lan Ke also planned to choose a favorable terrain for himself, such as near the entrance of each level of the impression space.

After all, even if you can't win, at least you can run away.

It’s similar to when you played the old version of "Monster Hunter" in the past, where you would block the edge of the map and fight, and if you couldn’t win, you would change areas!

While thinking, Lan Ke, holding the steel water pipe, stepped over the gate and walked through the stairs in front of him into the basement of the "Impression Space".

"patta~patta~"

Listening to the strange noise made by the shoes stepping on the ground, Lan Ke became extremely nervous.

"Bang~bang~"

The sound of his heartbeat getting faster and faster kept ringing in his ears, but strangely, his eyes became colder and colder, as if he had entered some strange state, until a strange sound of footsteps was heard.

Footsteps?

According to his assistant, he is the only person in the world who has the "authority" to travel between the two worlds. Therefore, the person who made this voice could not be a human being, but only a "shadow".

He quickly ducked and hid behind the wall.

Although I feel that things in the game are probably very different from reality, there should be one thing in common.

A sneak attack is more convenient than a head-on confrontation!

Lan Ke, hiding in the corner, watched a dark figure walking past him. Without any hesitation, he followed Fujimura Taiga's instructions and stepped forward with his right foot. At the same time, he twisted his body and transferred the power from his toes to his hands that were holding the water pipe.

"boom!!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

The steel water pipe hit the back of Shadow's head hard, and a piercing scream rang out.

Feeling the strange recoil coming from his right hand, Lan Ke had no time to sigh that this was completely different from the feeling when Fujimura Ohga cut the water pipe, so he raised the steel water pipe again and prepared to do it again.

But before he could swing the steel pipe again, the 'shadow' that was hit began to tremble crazily as if it had Parkinson's disease, and countless black things fell off.

Lan Ke almost instinctively put his arms in front of him to try to block these things.

But the strange thing is that these black strange substances turned into mist and dissipated directly no matter whether they touched Lan Ke's body or fell to the ground.

But it didn't matter anymore, because as the black substance disappeared, a strange creature appeared before his eyes.

Transparent wings and scattered scales, a body not much bigger than a palm, a strange costume that seemed to be made of plant leaves and flowers, and a cute and lovely face...

There is no doubt that it is the legendary 'Pixie', but it is a little different from the one in the game and is more cute.

It's a pity that those emotionless golden pupils made the cute little fairy in front of me look a little weird...

Chapter 9 'It's really ugly...'

Although the 'Pixie' in front of him looked quite cute, Lan Ke was not distracted at all because he knew very well what kind of existence the other party was.

'Shadow' can be understood as a collection of negative emotions, and this negative emotion will attract beings called 'demons'. The so-called 'demons' are not demons in the traditional sense, but a general term for all special beings in the original work except 'God', so not all of these 'demons' are hostile to humans.

But once the 'shadow' and the 'demon' merge, the 'demon' affected by human negative emotions will become a real demon, attacking all enemies without hesitation.

The only way to restore it to normal is to defeat it.

The seemingly cute Pixie's golden eyes, which seemed dazzling but actually showed no emotion at all, were enough to explain everything.

So Lan Ke simply ignored the other party's anger, and even took the opportunity when the other party showed up to swing the stick at the other party's face again.

"Huhu~~"

The steel water pipe even made a sharp whistling and breaking sound because of Lan Ke's waving.

Reality is not a game!

There is no turn-based system, so the way to win is to attack as much as possible!
