You say this is a love game?

Under Mizutani Makoto's rather astonished gaze, a wisp of green smoke floated from Zashiki's body, and then her body began to shrink, becoming like a ten-centimeter-long figurine. She landed on the ground, trotted a few steps, and then floated up again, following behind his shoulder.

Are you really a baby?

Why is the painting style like an elf...

"I have no objection." Mizutani Makoto said.

Along the way, Mizutani Makoto also gained an intuitive understanding of the capabilities of the zashiki.

According to legend, Zashiki-warashi can bring luck to the family, and when it comes to Zashiki, she seems to have the ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune. She knows which places to avoid and which places to go to without Mizutani Makoto explaining it.

Mizutani Makoto had previously found a way to get around the courtyard to the school gate area.

But along the way, there were many strange-looking light balls and some areas that seemed to be hiding monsters, so he didn't dare to approach.

Zashiki relied on his "intuition" to guide him. If he felt that something was worth picking up, he would pull his arm. If it was dangerous, he would just shake his head. So he picked up two more balls of light along the way.

As expected, it was [Weak Soul].

Pinched! Soul +100!

By the way, it reminded him of the four [Weak Souls] in his backpack. He crushed them all, and his soul instantly increased by 200. His total soul count reached 824. Wasn't he close to his goal of 1500?

Hee, hee hee.

Mizutani Makoto could only exclaim - if it's not closed, then it's open?

…He began to want it.

Mizutani Makoto grinned from ear to ear.

After the mission is over, he really should think about the Shikigami contract. Mainly because it is such a "blessing and misfortune detector", it is hard for soul-hunting players not to be tempted.

As usual, he showed his kitchen knife to Ksitigarbha.

Several young monks fell under his kitchen knife one after another. During this time, Zashiki observed Jizo monk curiously, and occasionally glanced at Mizutani Makoto who was waving the kitchen knife. He always felt that the style of the painting was strange.

[Soul +12]...

After Mizutani Makoto killed another young Ksitigarbha monk, something seemed to change in the air.

【From a corner, an angry roar was heard! 】

"Roar!!!"

Almost at the moment the pop-up window appeared, a thunderous roar exploded from the direction of the school gate, and Zashiki grabbed Mizutani Makoto's arm in horror.

She panicked and said:

"Big Brother, no, no, no, there's something scary! It's coming!"

Looking across the elongated open space, Mizutani Makoto looked at the school gate in the distance in confusion - a stone lion guarding the gate broke away from its base and turned into a living creature and climbed up.

With an angry roar, its body swelled up as if it were inflated. By the time it jumped off the base, its shoulder height was nearly three meters!

At this moment, Mizutani Makoto felt as if he was hallucinating the BOSS battle BGM.

Where's my fog door?

Where's my bonfire at the door?

Makoto Mizutani's reaction was quite remarkable. Although he was complaining nonsense in his mind, his movements were actually very fast. He grabbed the zashiki by his shoulders almost instantly, shouted "Run!", and immediately put his feet on the ground to start a vigorous escape.

Literally, a bang.

The stone lion fell to the ground, and its heavy body immediately crushed the floor. Every step the stone lion took was accompanied by flying stones. Amid the ground's cries of being unable to bear the weight, it rushed towards this side like a runaway truck.

I'm going to get lucky.

Chapter 029 Lucky Amulet

"run!"

Mizutani Makoto's scalp tingled and he wished he had two more legs.

But you can't escape!

Mizutani Makoto couldn't even outrun Miss JK's lower body, so how could he outrun this weird thing that was running around like a car!

No, I have to think about the aftermath.

Mizutani Makoto's mind was racing. Death was scary, but it was not unacceptable to him. It was just an opportunity to explore.

However, one must not take death so lightly.

He is even wearing a zashiki!

Thinking of the zashiki that he was holding in his hand, Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but feel worried - he could be resurrected after death, but what would happen if the zashiki died?

No!

"Zashiki, you run first, I'll cover your retreat!"

Mizutani Makoto acted decisively and threw the zashiki away. As the tiny girl in red regained her balance in mid-air, she saw Mizutani Makoto pull a bicycle from his backpack and straddle it without a pause.

"Run towards the courtyard! Avoid the monsters on the road!"

Zashiki didn't even have time to say anything. He could only watch Mizutani Makoto ride his bicycle to lure the monsters alone. He rode his bicycle so fast that he seemed to want to make sparks fly, and his direction was actually the square!

The stone lion that shook the earth was also led over by him.

Only Zashiki remained standing, staring blankly at the dust raised by Mizutani Makoto in the distance.

"Big brother……"

Mizutani Makoto didn't know what Zashiki was feeling.

He didn't care about anything else at the moment. He just wanted to escape towards the flat terrain and lead the lion as far away as possible.

square!

That place is just right.

“Ms. JK!!”

Riding on the school road that was stretched to over a thousand meters, Mizutani Makoto shouted at the top of his lungs, not caring at all that this behavior would attract monsters.

"whee--"

On the bench in front, the lower bodies of the three JK ladies had already entered a crouching position, like springs accumulating energy and about to spring out.

But they noticed the movement behind Mizutani Makoto.

The stone lion is approaching rapidly.

"Ahhhhh!!"

JK ladies, sharp and explosive noises.

It was the first time that Mizutani Makoto knew that JK ladies could not only laugh but also make such terrified screams.

Spring launch!

But unlike what Makoto Mizutani had expected, where both sides would suffer losses, the JK ladies were directly ejected into the distance and actually joined the escape!

"Fuck! Have some courage! Fight it! What the hell are you running for! Come back here!"

The composition is particularly interesting today.

In front, more and more JK ladies were running away, and their speed was almost the same as that of Makoto Mizutani who was riding.

In the middle, there was Makoto Mizutani who was mocking everyone at the top of his lungs, but he was furious at Miss JK's lack of dignity.

In the second half, the stone lions were slowly approaching, slightly faster than the other two waves of people.

"Roar!!"

Miss JK immediately squeezed her buttocks together and ran towards the teaching building desperately.

Soul +32

This reminder suddenly appeared in Mizutani Makoto's sight.

He glanced back and found that Miss JK's lower body had run away, but as mentioned before, there was another strange thing - Miss JK's upper body.

Your lower body can run, but can your upper body still run?

Yes, the upper bodies of the rare JK ladies were crawling on the ground. Their speed was not slow, but they were much weaker than the two groups in front.

Soul +32

Soul +32

Two more died!

But Mizutani Makoto didn't have time to think about it. The end of the square was in front of him and the speed bump was right in front of him. He braked suddenly and "retracted the props" at the same time, completing the seamless transition from getting off the car to running away.

At this time, there were no more laughing and cheerful JK ladies in the square.

They scattered like birds and beasts, shivering in some corner.

Mizutani Makoto ran until he got tired and realized he couldn't run any further, so he stopped in front of the fountain and turned to look at the stone lions less than 30 meters away from him.

It was a giant beast three meters tall.

The bluestone sculpture seemed to have been gnawed by time and resentment, its surface covered with dark red rust spots, like dried blood scabs.

The spine pierced the epidermis, forming a row of jagged rusty spines. The tail end was not decorated with auspicious clouds, but a half-melted iron chain with a half-charred object tied to the end, shaking so that it was impossible to see clearly.

Do not know why,

Looking at the stone lion, a particularly vivid image suddenly emerged in his mind. It was a strong man riding a horse and wearing full armor. He killed countless novice faders with a big shield and a big axe.

That's right, Ksitigarbha is a zombie on the roadside, and Miss JK is at most Luo Qi, so this soul game is still missing a player's wonderful experience.

Teacher Guda, or the tree guard.

屮!

Do I really have to fight this thing to the death in the future?!

you are vicious!

"Zashiki must have escaped..."

Mizutani Makoto straightened his collar.

The gap in strength was too big. Although he still had a lot of physical strength, his mental fluctuations were so great that he was full of desire to complain, and his fighting spirit was reduced.

I'm tired, so I'll destroy it and restart it.

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

Ending: [Cheng-chan]

……

……

Makoto Mizutani lay under the cherry tree, watching the cherry blossoms falling with lifeless eyes.

A fallen cherry petal fell on his forehead, and he shuddered immediately, his face pale, but he still forced himself to get up from the ground.

Damn, it really became a two-dimensional world.

Makoto Mizutani didn't want to think too much about the experience of being reduced to a "paper man".

He waited for a while under the cherry tree.

Until a voice of "Big Brother! I'm here!" was heard, and the figure-sized Zashiki crawled over the exposed roots of the cherry tree and fell directly onto Mizutani Makoto's thighs.

There was a faint red in the eyes of the little Zashiki who raised his face, and his words were filled with a deep sense of sadness.

Mizutani Makoto is quite open-minded. Just as learning too much Dharma will make people lose their humanity, the more times he has died, the less sensitive he seems to be to his own death.

He patted the kitchen knife at his waist and was about to go to the square to see if the BOSS had been refreshed, but then he changed his mind and looked back at Zashiki.

"Do you have any way to get out of here?"

After this battle, Mizutani Makoto realized something very important: he could be resurrected infinitely, but the Zashiki that followed him into the crevice could not.

If you let the zashiki continue to stay in the crack, it will be too late to regret if something unexpected happens.

As for the assessment of fortune and misfortune, I can only lock it up with tears.

At least until he finds a suitable solution, Zashiki cannot be left in the cracks.
