The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Nishimiya Shoko nodded quickly.

Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out and took the sketchbook, then opened it:

"Leave the promotion of the transaction to me."

"Write down the rules for fair trade, then post the paper in a prominent place around the bridge. Under the pressure from Deepwater Hinako, someone will naturally lose their temper. Once someone takes the lead, the subsequent trades will proceed smoothly."

"Kiyono-kun."

Rio Futaba looked up, opened her backpack, and took out a red candle. "This is a special item we found in the cabin. It can be exchanged for 300 points. Once lit, it can dispel the surrounding fog for a short time."

"Fog can obscure vision. Using candles to disperse the fog allows others to see the entire transaction and withdrawal process, thus reassuring them."

Without hesitation, Kiyono Makoto decisively replied:

"Light the candle."

You have to give up something to gain something; Kiyono Makoto certainly understands this principle very well.

"Um."

Rio Futaba pursed her pink lips and quickly lit the candle.

As the candlelight flickered, the surrounding mist seemed to meet the sunlight and snow, rapidly dissipating and receding, and soon the area within a hundred meters of the candle became clear.

"...Now all we have to do is wait patiently."

Preparations were completed quickly.

The girls breathed a sigh of relief and began to wait patiently.

Previously, they were the ones blocking the bridge, but now they've suddenly gone from dragon slayers to dragons themselves... It feels quite strange.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

No players made any trades, but Kiyono Makoto could feel that he was being secretly watched from time to time.

At this moment, the park's cold announcement sounded again:

[Deepwater Hinako has become a godlike player, and player Inujiro has been killed...]

Kiyono Makoto opened the virtual map provided by the park and saw that a skull icon had reappeared on the street not far from the bridge, indicating that Hinako Fukami had approached the bridge.

At this moment, a man covered in blood and limping finally appeared, walking over with a wary expression:

"...I'll make the deal."

Although Kiyono Makoto and his group all looked very young, the middle-aged man showed no signs of letting his guard down.

Age is meaningless in this paradise; strength is everything.

This group has surplus resources to trade, dares to openly block the bridge, and can even use items to dispel the fog over a large area; they are undoubtedly true veteran players.

"Hello."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up and asked, "How many points worth of supplies do you need?"

The middle-aged man was silent for two seconds, wanting to say that he had already collected all the supplies and could leave, but he knew he couldn't get through without buying anything, so he whispered:

"...We only need 300 more supplies to evacuate."

Rio Futaba calmly opened her backpack, took out a special item worth 300 points, and handed it over.

"for you."

The man gritted his teeth:

"What...do you want?"

Kiyono Makoto calmly said:

"Equipment, items, rare objects... anything of value can be used to exchange for supplies."

Points cannot be traded within the instance; otherwise, exchanging them directly for points would be the most convenient option.

"......I see."

The middle-aged man quickly took out a jade pendant:

"This is an item I purchased with 1,500 points. When activated, it grants a temporary shield that absorbs damage."

Seino Makoto nodded:

"make a deal."

Cash on delivery.

Shuangye accepted the jade pendant and handed the special supplies to the middle-aged man.

Kiyono Makoto stepped aside to clear the bridge, reminding him:

"That whirlpool is the evacuation point. This gentleman can go there to evacuate."

"......Thanks."

The man thanked them verbally, but his body tensed up, and he limped nervously toward the evacuation vortex.

Fortunately, Kiyono Makoto and the others did not make any moves as they approached the vortex.

Stepping into the vortex, the middle-aged man received the evacuation notice from the amusement park and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned and looked gratefully at Kiyono Makoto and the others.

"...Thank you."

This expression of gratitude is filled with sincerity and appreciation.

Before he could finish speaking...

The middle-aged man's figure suddenly vanished.

Immediately afterwards, an announcement from the park played:

Player Sato has successfully evacuated.

"They actually thanked us..."

Eriri put her hands on her hips, her expression somewhat subtle, "This feels so strange."

"Objectively speaking, they should indeed thank us."

Kiyono Makoto said confidently, "If it weren't for us dealing with the evil players blocking the bridge, countless people wouldn't have been able to evacuate."

On the other side.

Seeing that the first person to try something new had successfully escaped, the players hiding in the shadows around them immediately became restless.

A short while later, another woman, looking disheveled, came out, her voice tense:

"I also want to exchange for evacuation supplies."

"no problem."

The deal was quickly finalized.

The announcement of the second player's withdrawal rang out again, and the foundation of trust was completely established.

The other players finally lowered their guard and quietly appeared one by one; there were quite a few of them, a total of five or six.

As evacuation supplies were traded out, weapons, armor, and rare items were acquired one after another. If these items were purchased in the mall, they would cost at least three times the points. In short, it was a huge profit.

"Kiyono-kun, Hinako Fukami will be here soon."

Kato Megumi, who had been watching the map closely, whispered a reminder, "It's about time to evacuate."

"Wait a little longer, there might still be players who haven't evacuated."

Eriri, already lost in the joy of monopolizing the situation, subconsciously remarked, "The evacuation point is right behind us; we can leave whenever we want, unless Hinako Deepwater can teleport..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nishimiya Shoko suddenly opened her beautiful eyes wide and quickly grabbed Kiyono Makoto's fingers.

"...behind, behind you!"

Chapter 65 Tremble, Deep-Sea Hina!

"What's wrong?"

Kiyono Makoto subconsciously turned his head and saw that in the middle of the bridge behind him, it looked as if a stone had been thrown into the water, creating visible ripples.

"Huh, what's going on?"

"Space is fluctuating."

"Could it be... no, that can't be?"

Seeing the unusual situation behind them, a sense of foreboding washed over everyone.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure dressed in a dark blue sailor uniform materialized out of thin air and walked out of nowhere.

The girl wore a half-covered, sinister fox mask, and her right arm was particularly grotesque, resembling a huge, white-furred fox arm.

Although no name appeared above the girl's head, Kiyono Makoto and the girls instantly recognized each other.

Silent Hill's strictest mother, Deepwater Hinako!

"No way, Hinako Fukami can actually teleport?"

Kiyono Makoto's heart sank suddenly.

I thought the extraction point was right behind me, and even if Hinako appeared, I could easily escape. But Hinako teleported and blocked the bridge?

They're not even human!

hum!

Before anyone could react, Hinako Akami suddenly looked up, and two crimson lights flashed beneath the holes in her fox mask.

The moment their eyes met, Kiyono Makoto felt his head buzz and he became dizzy. An indescribable sense of fear instantly swept over his entire body, his mind went blank, and his body stiffened.

Fortunately, the [Purify] ability was triggered in time, allowing Seino Makoto to purify the negative status effects.

"call......"

Kiyono Makoto took a deep breath, quickly opened the character panel, and saw a line of text prompts:

[You looked directly at Hinako Fukami, and you were gripped by fear for five seconds...]

The state of fear has been lifted.

Kiyono Makoto's sharp gaze swept quickly over the other girls, and he saw that they were all trembling and unable to move.

Good guys!

She demonstrated both teleportation and crowd control abilities the moment they met, truly befitting the strictest mother in Silent Hill.

As Hinako Fukami approached, the girls trembled with fear and were unable to react. Without hesitation, Makoto Kiyono activated the team skill.

"...Guardian Spirit!"

As the team leader, only Kiyono Makoto can actively activate the team's shared skills.

The next second.

Several tiny sprites, each about the size of a palm and with wings on their backs, appeared out of thin air, floating above everyone's heads. They waved their hands, showering down golden light, which quickly condensed into a golden shield.

The moment the shield appeared, the negative status effects on the women were quickly dispelled, and they all escaped the state of fear.

This is the team skill that Kiyono Makoto and Takumi chose after discussing it. It grants a defensive shield for a short period of time, which can absorb any damage and also remove negative status effects, similar to the Mercury Belt in a certain game.

The only downside is that team skills can only be used once per dungeon; they are strategic, top-secret skills that cannot be used lightly.

at the same time.

Kiyono Makoto decisively drew his water gun and pulled the trigger.

Water bullets shot out, and then it was seen that Hinako Akami's right arm swung out in a blur, blocking all the water bullets and even making her immune to all negative status effects.

"very good."

"I can't beat them at all... Run!"

Kiyono Makoto turned around and led the way in fleeing.

The girls dared not delay and quickly followed.

Fortunately, Hinako Fukami only pursued him step by step from behind and did not display her teleportation ability again. When she caught up with him to the entrance of the bridge, Hinako Fukami even stopped and silently guarded the bridgehead.

"Huh...huh..."
