I am a reincarnation player.

Yuki also found it very interesting that the judges, believers, and undercover agents could actually help each other, step up for each other, and improve their evaluation together.

'Another solution was found and a wonderful adventure ensued.'

Yuuki reminisced for a moment and smiled with some pleasure. This reincarnation game was really addictive sometimes.

"How strong is the Black Sword?"

"Very strong! That sword is specifically designed to slash souls. It's a level 4 Chaos Item. I just happen to have this kind of defense." The young man smiled faintly and, as if remembering something, reached for his storage space. "Oh, right, this is the Chaos Item they both dropped."

"No need. I didn't participate in this battle. You can keep them." Yuki's EQ wasn't that low. He quickly reached out to stop them and threw the black crystal and pistol over. "I'll return them to you. We're just temporarily cooperating in this dungeon. No need to be so polite."

The young man took it, paused for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "Although this time is this time, I don't want to be your enemy in the future."

This person is too strong, as strong as a monster. He originally wanted to investigate the other party's identity after returning, but now it seems that there is no need.

His attitude also represents Yuegong and Rick. Unlike the awe in the Demon Hospital, Yuki makes the players who have worked with him afraid this time.

A typical dangerous person. It is too difficult to eliminate the entire cult, so difficult that it is beyond imagination, and humans will always be deterred by mysterious things.

So Rick enjoyed using the chainsword very much and didn't dare to show any reluctance to part with it, and quickly returned the weapon.

From now on, everything is clear and no one owes anyone anything.

Yuki took advantage of their cover, and they also borrowed Yuki's power, and everyone made a fortune.

"It's a pleasure working with you. See you again if we have the chance." Oreki Houtarou didn't want to have any in-depth contact with Yuki, so he slowly walked towards the lightless darkness. When he was about to disappear, he turned his head back.

"By the way, I'll give you some free information. The Black Sword group belongs to Daytime."

He expected Yuuki's expression to change, but unfortunately he saw nothing, so he shrugged boredly and disappeared.

It turned out to be them.

Yuki didn't show any expression on his face, but he secretly took note of it in his heart. He certainly wouldn't forget the organization of this consortium.

Fate is truly wonderful. This is the third time we have dealt with each other.

The first time was in Kanagawa, the second time was outside Tokyo Academy, and then it was this dungeon. I was not careful and four of the opponent's players died in my hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a blood feud.

But so what? We are enemies to begin with.

Yuki felt no burden when it came to killing enemies. If he felt any burden, it was because he hadn't killed enough enemies, and as his strength increased, he was able to carry out certain plans.

Thinking of Hayasaka Ai, Yuki was full of anticipation. This mission lasted for fifty hours, which was unprecedentedly long. Logically, the seniors should have returned.

"You two ready to talk to me?"

"Uh, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Rick was reminded and turned to run, but he turned back after running a few steps. "Mr. Li, thank you. Uh, I won't reveal a single word about your affairs, even if I die!"

"Well, I believe your promise." Yuki nodded casually. Although Rick was just a passerby, he gave people a good impression.

He is loyal and has a bottom line. Although he said he was afraid of the two veteran players, he actually never backed down.

Rick was surprised to find that he was being praised so highly. He quickly bowed ninety degrees, saying "thank you" repeatedly before disappearing into the darkness.

Very polite. I hate people who take getting a bargain for granted.

Yuki didn't care about the young policeman and looked at Yue Gong who was slowly retreating.

"Are you leaving too?"

"Well, I'm in a hurry." The girl still looked cold, and then she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say whatever's on your mind. You've been preoccupied throughout this entire instance."

Without the pressure of the mission, Yuki seemed relaxed.

"It's true, but there's no point in saying it. You don't owe me a favor, but I owe you one."

"Oh? You are quite self-aware."

"The first dungeon taught me that one can be proud, but not conceited," the girl replied softly, bowing deeply and politely. "Mr. Li, thank you. Goodbye."

She retreated into the darkness and disappeared in an instant. Yuki was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

The game of reincarnation is the best classroom, life and death are the best teachers, and people who have been beaten are different.

Yuki originally had some guesses about her identity, but now it seems unnecessary, and those words were also a warning to himself.

Is it okay to be proud but not conceited? Fortunately, I'm not a pushover.

With a slight shrug, he also walked into the endless darkness.

Come back home.

Volume: Interlude 3

Chapter 1: Maid is the natural enemy of the senior

This was the second time I had to transfer space in such a short period of time. The feeling of having my thoughts frozen made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Opening his eyes, Yuki saw the familiar room again. The cool sea breeze poured in from the window, and the wind chimes made a ding-ding-ding sound.

The crimson sunset glows on the desk, giving people a feeling of peace and leisure.

Only at this time will the tension go away along with the game, and the texture of life will return to us.

"How many times do I have to go through this before I stop feeling like I'm dreaming?"

Yuki stood for a while and slowly covered his face. Every time he came back from a dungeon, he felt like he was dreaming. Those zombies, demons, and evil gods became very unreal.

But apart from the sense of illusion, this time he felt that there was something more, driving him to return without stopping.

Like... a sense of anticipation?

In reality, someone is waiting for you, and you can enjoy a moment of peace. This is like a tranquilizer, calming your heart that is pursuing power.

Continuously completing dungeons and madly accumulating strength?

Isn't that pure masochism?

Yuki scoffed at his own desires from a while ago. Ever since the bloodthirsty red moon, he had formed a logical closed loop:

The purpose of completing a copy is to gain power, the purpose of gaining power is to survive, the purpose of surviving is to return, and finally the purpose of returning is to enjoy life.

After reviewing the perfect logical chain, Yuki's resolve became as strong as steel again.

He quickly walked to the desk, took out a spare phone from the drawer, and saw several missed calls on it.

The Academic Affairs Office? I'm more familiar with demon biology than humans now.

Diving club? I'll contact you later. It's not nice to stand people up all the time. Besides, Kitahara Iori's situation is very interesting.

He looked down for unfamiliar phone numbers. He had instructed them to contact him as soon as he returned before entering the dungeon.

But no, this made Yuki feel uneasy.

"Their mission couldn't have been longer than mine, right? Or did they fail to return? Impossible. The three of them are way above average. Without me, the dungeon wouldn't have been abnormal. Even if I took a step back, it's impossible for them to all be wiped out."

Yuuki closed the drawer and paced back and forth.

Although he knew that the probability of total annihilation was extremely low, he couldn't get rid of the panic in his heart. Yuki even felt more panicked than when he heard the evil god's invitation.

"No, absolutely not."

He muttered to himself, and the pleasure of gaining huge profits as a lone ranger disappeared in an instant. Just when he was regretting conducting the experiment, he heard a light "click" sound.

He turned his head slightly stiffly, and the narrow door opened, and a pair of long legs wearing thin black stockings stepped into the entrance.

It’s the senior!

Yuki uses his legs to identify people, and his body reacts before his brain even thinks.

With a step of her toes, her extraordinary body instantly arrived at the door, startling Sakurajima Mai who was turning to close the door and making her take a step back.

But Sakurajima Mai was no longer an ordinary person. When she felt someone approaching, she instantly pulled out a dagger, with the tip of the knife against Yuuki's chest. When she saw it was him, she quickly lowered the blade.

"You, you, you, what are you doing?"

"I wanted to give you a loving hug, but then I almost got stabbed to death." Yuki sighed, and suddenly realized that being a player was not so good. His reaction speed was too fast, and it was difficult to launch a sneak attack.

"Who told you to scare me so suddenly? You deserve to be exposed." The senior student wrinkled her nose, revealing a 'fierce' expression. Then, her little face relaxed and she smiled.

"You just returned?"

"Well, you didn't think I wouldn't be able to come back, did you? You're planning to come and help me pack up my belongings?"

"You deserve a beating for saying such discouraging things." Mai knocked Yuuki's head with the back of her knife, making a crisp 'dong' sound, then turned and closed the door. "We never thought anything would happen to you. Why are you just standing there? Why don't you pick up my things for me?"

Yuuki took the plastic bag and saw that it was full of food. He immediately understood what Sakurajima Mai had been doing.

My heart couldn't help but warm up, and I deliberately asked, "Are you so confident in me? My dungeon this time is quite long."

It's been a full fifty hours, but it felt like five. No wonder I couldn't help myself just now.

"How long can two days be? What if you encounter a two-month-long instance? Can I still repair your grave?"

"Forget about repairing the grave. You can stay a widow for me."

"Find a fight!"

The dagger was thrown directly at him. Yuki took a step back and saw the dagger trembling slightly as it was nailed to the wall. He couldn't help licking his lips.

As my strength increases, teasing becomes more difficult. Fortunately, I now have an extraordinary physique, so I can be fine even if I take a knife.

Just as Yuki was daydreaming, Mai, who was crossing her legs to change her shoes, also breathed a sigh of relief.

I believe it, but I can't help but feel uneasy if this idiot doesn't come back.

She knew how dangerous the reincarnation game was, and it would be even more dangerous with Yuki around. No one dared to claim an absolute survival rate.

Because of this danger, when she saw Yuuki, Mai didn't show any emotion. Her high emotional intelligence kept reminding herself:

Every player may leave and never come back. I cannot become a burden or weakness to him. If I get too excited, it will interfere with his judgment.

The senior sister is so calm. Could it be that I gave her too much trust?

While Yuki was reflecting on himself, he watched the girl bend her legs and flick her index finger, and her brown leather shoes fell off. Her black stockings were thin, and her snow-white thighs could be vaguely seen.

Then the small jade feet stepped on the floor. Because the weather was too hot, it seemed to be steaming slightly. After stepping on it, it left a shallow footprint on the floor.

Mai used her fingers to slightly open the collar, revealing her delicate collarbone, while her other hand kept fanning back and forth.

"It's so hot. Hey, what are you standing there for? Take the food to the kitchen."

"Oh, I'll go right away." Yuuki hurriedly did as he was told. As he walked, he asked, "Where are Hiyori and Hayasaka? Are they okay?"

"What could possibly happen? The three of us complement each other and have enough combat power. I think this entire dungeon will be safe and sound."

"Is it really a near miss?"

"Well, there's still some danger. It's better not to cross over. They both have their own things to do and can't come over in the next two days."

"Then we are not alone anymore?"

"You wish. I came to Izu for a filming job and just stopped by to see you."

"Senior, why are you learning to be a tsundere instead of being good to yourself?"

The two of them chatted back and forth, as if there was no such thing as the reincarnation game at all, and they were just friends who hadn't seen each other for two days.

But this feeling of having someone waiting for you to go home is just right.

Apart from making dark dishes, Yuki can't help much in the kitchen. Perhaps considering that he just returned, the senior was very considerate and didn't ask him to help.

So he leaned back in his chair and lazily looked at Mai's back.

The senior girl was wearing a short skirt and stockings, and she had tied her long black hair into a ponytail, swinging it back and forth as she moved. This made Yuuki move his nose, and he only smelled the daily smell in the room.

Yuki suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten for two days since entering the dungeon.

The extraordinary physique even improved his hunger tolerance. The more he entered the extraordinary realm, the less he looked like a normal human. But when he smelled the fragrance of the food, he was miraculously hungry and drooled.

"Hey, I'm giving you a report. Are you listening carefully?"

"I'm listening."

Yuki quickly changed his posture and listened carefully to the senior's lecture.

The dungeon the three of them experienced this time was the "Forest Maze", and Yuki actually guessed it right. This dungeon had very high requirements for puzzle solving, and the mission clues were hidden in seemingly inconspicuous details.

This happens to be Shiina Hiyori's home turf. The girl is weak in combat, but very good at reading details. She found the map fragments of the maze one by one.

"Complete the mission within 36 hours. There are a total of 108 fragments, divided into four stages. Each stage unlocks a way out. Only after obtaining the complete map can you pass the dungeon."
