I am a reincarnation player.

"Well, all I've seen so far are ordinary rooms. Even though we don't know how powerful the zombies are, they can't be defended against by an adult." Yuki answered without even raising his head.

He had just tested those wooden doors one by one, and none of them had any protection from supernatural powers. Even if it was measured by the lowest level of the Resident Evil series, such as "zombies", they would fall apart after a few hits.

"But we have two veteran players. What if we find a favorable terrain to defend? On the third day, we only need to survive for 48 hours at most."

"We haven't found any food or water so far. Li Dan and Thomas are definitely stronger than normal people, but they are not immortals yet. Fighting a lot consumes a lot of energy." Yuki paused and forced a smile.

"Did you notice that there was a wine cabinet in the lobby at the beginning, but all the bottles inside were empty?"

Sakurajima Mai paused as she found no signs of human life here, let alone food and water, not even a piece of clothing. It was like an isolated island surrounded by zombies, with only crimson moonlight outside.

"So Li Dan went to the garden to look for food? Why didn't he say so?"

Yuki looked up, his eyes full of admiration. As an ordinary person, it was already very good for him to be able to draw inferences from one instance and think of this.

"Because he looks like a good person, but there can't be saints in infinite games. All good intentions must be based on self-preservation. And do you think it's a coincidence that the most powerful newcomer is grouped with him?"

"What do you mean by infinite class games?"

"It doesn't matter. Just think of it as cruel and let them kill each other."

After being reminded of this, Mai Sakurajima really felt that there was something wrong. If she really had to rank the value of the newcomers, the black man whose arms were thicker than her thighs was obviously the most useful.

It's groundless and malicious speculation, but isn't that how I look at him?

Sakurajima Mai felt that she had no right to blame Yuki, but then she felt something was wrong. This guy looked stupid just now, but why is he so meticulous and observant now? Is he not going to act in front of me?

"You know me? Well, no wonder you stared at me when you came in."

Yuki glanced at the long legs in black stockings next to his hand. The small black high heels swung gently, giving people a sense of lazy charm.

Women really do affect my speed of sword drawing, no, my thinking speed. Black stockings are like black holes that can suck away a person's soul.

After a short break, he decided to relax the two of them and smiled oddly:

"Mai Sakurajima, you are indeed famous, but I noticed that you have nothing to do with fame."

"Why then?"

"Because you're dressed too provocatively, any normal person would notice."

Yuki raised his head, with not much expression on his face except for a slight smile, but it was this rational lust that made Sakurajima Mai blush instantly, and she instinctively wrapped the gauze window tighter.

"You, I thought you were an honest man, but it turns out you're a pervert!"

Pervert? If I wasn't in the strategy mode right now and had devoted most of my attention to it, I would let you know what "Men's Black Ball" is.

Glancing at his watch, Yuuki saw that the break was over and immediately looked away, as if he had used an alarm.

There were no memories, and there was no trace of the strange smile that had just appeared.

"Honest people usually don't live long, so——"

"I'm not an honest person."

Chapter 8: The Ceremony of the Red Moon (Revised)

Yuki is certainly not honest, but he is not evil either, and he has nothing to do with being eccentric or tyrannical.

The preparations he had made over the years were to deal with crises and truly enjoy the daily life of his youth. If even his personality changed, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

He tapped his fingers on his thigh, gliding across the deep crimson glow, and listened carefully to the voice coming from the intercom.

The other two groups also did not discover it. The garden completely subverted common sense. It was so brilliantly blooming but there was not even a drop of water to be found. As for the unknown fruit, no one dared to try it. Li Dan decided to go to the city wall first to take a look.

Hayasaka Ai was wandering around the building, occasionally making some noisy noises, and no one knew what she was doing.

The unknown enveloped everyone like moonlight. Even Yuki relaxed a little and thought about how to use his number of enhancements. However, he still didn't know what the crisis was, so he had to endure it.

'After a twenty-minute break, it's time to continue.'

Glancing at his watch, he turned his head with a half-smile: "Hey, are you still angry?"

Sakurajima Mai sat in the corner, propping up her head and ignoring him. A faint "hum" sound could be heard.

The two of them are somewhat familiar with each other. Just now, Yuki decisively threw out the heart-to-heart gesture, and then annoyed the bunny girl senior.

"I am telling the truth, and only the truth can make us trust each other."

"Hmph, it's just too harsh." Sakurajima Mai finally turned her head, her purple eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Regardless of the copy prompts or personal likes and dislikes, Yuuki is willing to be bound to Sakurajima Mai. But in the game, there is no time to slowly get to know each other, so Yuuki added a reason for his trust:

You are so famous. If you backstab me and I happen to be alive, it will not be difficult to take revenge on you.

"Fortunately, I stopped my acting career for several years, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play." Sakurajima Mai deeply felt the disadvantages of being an idol. According to Li Dan, after passing the dungeon, she had to return to reality. This guy was obviously not far from her, and the reason was so real that it was impossible to refute it.

But it makes me feel more at ease than trusting someone without any reason.

Although she was unhappy, Mai also admitted that the reason was just right, because conversely, with her own connections, it would not be difficult to find him and take revenge on him.

"Okay, we're all on the same boat anyway, so we're more reliable than the other guys." Sakurajima Mai came back, eyes full of caution: "But you're not allowed to have any weird thoughts about me."

"That's difficult with your outfit." Yuuki teased, then immediately changed his tone: "But I can try."

"That's better." The girl put down her raised foot and regained some liveliness.

This beautiful girl is actually thorny, just like the short knife she always holds in her hand. According to Mai, she can't kill others but she can kill herself. If she were covered in blood, others probably wouldn't be interested.

Yeah.

In this dangerous game, he doesn't need a sissy girl. He doesn't need her to be of any use, but at least she shouldn't hold him back.

After a short rest, the two continued to explore the castle. After passing through the banquet hall, there was another building. This building seemed to be where guards or servants lived, and the decoration was far less luxurious than the previous one.

The carpet was gone, and leather shoes made a creaking sound when stepped on. The wall tiles were also covered with tiny cracks, and the red moonlight was shining in through the gaps and windows, penetrating every pore.

The intercom rustled and Hasaka's voice could no longer be heard, which made Sakurajima Mai suddenly move closer to Yuki, feeling creepy.

"Why don't we go back? We won't find any food."

"I know." Yuki saw a few plates in the cramped corner without even a crumb on them. "You're not so hungry that you can't walk, are you?"

Mai Sakurajima's face turned slightly red, and she subconsciously covered her flat belly. It was okay that she hadn't had any water for more than four hours, but after her tense nerves relaxed, she felt particularly hungry.

"No."

"Really not?"

"Really not! I just think it's irrational to waste energy like this."

Your stomach is growling, it’s the middle of the night and dinner was supposed to be ten hours ago.

Yuki was also thirsty and hungry, but he didn't expose her. He answered casually: "I'm not looking for food. I'm looking for a place where the red moon can't shine. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

what?

Mai opened her mouth slightly, and seeing the other person's serious face, she found it difficult to keep up with his thoughts.

Normal people are looking for water and food, but this person is looking for somewhere where the moonlight cannot reach.

"Why? Is this worth it?"

"It's worthless for now, but this game has elements of decryption, and if you want to decrypt it, you have to have intelligence and not be led by the nose." Yuki pushed open a wooden door and saw the stairs leading to the first floor. "Did you notice that it's almost four in the morning and the red moon hasn't moved."

It really is.

Mai Sakurajima looked out the window and saw that the lonely red moon in the night sky did not set with the passage of time. But what did this mean? It was not even certain whether it was still on Earth.

"Let's go back. We are getting further and further away from Li Dan and the others."

"Don't worry, let's find the basement first. There's no way a castle doesn't have this thing."

The girl rolled her eyes in frustration, having underestimated Yuki's stubbornness. She turned her head to look at the dark corridor, and hurried into the stairwell, only to bump into Yuki's back, who had stopped in an instant.

"What are you doing again?"

"Shhh."

Yuki turned around and made a gesture to keep quiet. The stern expression immediately made Sakurajima Mai shut her mouth. She stared at the man without even breathing.

Their eyes met, the two were almost close to each other, but there was no ambiguous feeling between them. They both pricked up their ears and tensed their muscles.

"He's not taking advantage of me on purpose, is he?" Sakurajima Mai found herself being held in Yuuki's arms. Just as she was about to distance herself from him, she heard a strange voice.

Hey.

It sounded like footsteps or water drops splashing on the floor. Besides the rustling noise in the intercom, there was also the sound of breathing like a bellows. Almost at the same time, the two of them looked up.

Upstairs? The Hasaka group?

Sakurajima Mai subconsciously wanted to pick up the walkie-talkie, but after being glared at by Yuki, she put it down instinctively. She didn't know why, but after spending a few hours together, Yuki gave her a very professional impression.

Not an old player, but definitely not a confused new player either.

Red Moon’s gift is here now?

Yuki has never forgotten [Hint 4]. He is not only exploring the basement, but also wants to know what the "gift" is. At least in front of Sakurajima Mai, he doesn't have to be restrained.

Da da da.

The strange sound was getting closer and closer. Yuki kept turning his head but saw nothing. All he could see was the mottled wall and the crimson moonlight he was already accustomed to.

A mysterious atmosphere was brewing, or perhaps it was an illusion. The crimson moonlight in the corridor was gradually becoming thicker. Yuki did not wait any longer and grasped Sakurajima Mai's slender wrist.

"run!"

He turned around and ran towards the banquet hall, ignoring the girl's rapid breathing and concentrating decisively.

Something strange has happened in the deep corridor:

A black object passed through the ceiling and fell in front of him. Red liquid spread along the floor. When Yuki looked closely, he heard a sharp scream behind him.

“It’s that college student!”

It really was that white college student, at least his clothes belonged to him, but his handsome head with a somewhat submissive temperament had turned into a rotten watermelon, and his clothes were covered in red and white liquid.

Unlike Mai, Yuki was not just focused on watching the bloody scene. He took a closer look at the corpse as he ran past it, and saw the huge bloody hole in the chest and the various internal organs that had been dug out.

It looks like it was caused by sharp claws. Is the opponent a beast monster?

The scene was terrifying, but Yuki was relieved. As long as it wasn't a ghost or something, it would be fine. He didn't have the conditions to prepare such skills over the years.

Stepping over the pool of blood, she felt a slippery touch, and Mai Sakurajima felt that the smell of blood was like a hand strangling her throat. This was completely different from the novice guide who had his head exploded.

This college student was still full of life a few hours ago, and his gentlemanly demeanor left a lot of good impression on me. But now, his body was placed in front of me like a rag doll.

"How is Miss Hasaka? Will I die in such a tragic way?"

Fear crept into his heart, sending chills down his spine, like someone falling off a cliff. The feeling of that person holding his wrist suddenly became extremely clear.

Her fingertips moved slightly, and she instinctively wanted to hold Yuki's hand, but soon, this last support disappeared without a trace.

Yuki suddenly stopped, turned around and threw her out, looking directly into those purple eyes filled with shock and anger. The meaning in them was obvious:

It turns out that you are not a good person!

It was obvious that she was being used as bait to lure back some terrifying monster, but after a moment, Sakurajima Mai felt that she was extremely wrong.

Click.

Along with the crisp sound of the wooden board breaking, spider-web-like cracks covered the ground under Yuki's feet, and then there was a "bang" and he fell directly to the first floor amid flying wood chips.

Boom, boom, boom.

Yuki felt tingling all over his body, as if he had bumped into several hard objects, but he didn't care about the pain in his body at all.

Activate 'Strengthening Magic'.

He couldn't care less about so many things. This was the first time he used his extraordinary skills in actual combat!

Chapter 9 This is Extraordinary! (Edited)

[Ancient magicians infused magic power into the material world and formed rules...]

Skill explanation, skill history, usage methods, and usage experience.

Yuki felt like he was experiencing a whole life again, learning enhanced magic from a certain magician and even skipping the shackles of "qualification".

"Isn't this the special skill of Shirou Emiya on the moon?"

His understanding was obviously more peculiar than that of ordinary players. Not only was information infused, but all the scenes he had seen in the past flashed through his mind.
