I created a dream copy

My consciousness became blurry for a moment, and then gradually became clear again.

Goto Ichiri slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the cold floor.

"This...this...where is this...?"

He sat up and looked around. Unlike the school where Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai were at the beginning, judging from the surrounding scenery, Goto Ichiri should be inside a shopping mall.

But the problem is, she remembered that she clearly slept at home, so why did she appear here after waking up?

Could it be that my parents finally realized that I was too useless, so they decided to throw me away and sent me away overnight while I was sleeping?

"No, no, no, it's impossible."

He shook his head vigorously. Although he felt inferior, Goto Ichiri still trusted his family.

Continuing to look around, Goto Ichiri finally discovered that there seemed to be another person here besides her.

I saw a girl with a short bob haircut and a white beret also lying on the floor.

"Ah...um, wake up. Don't lie on the ground anymore. Wake up."

Goto Ichiri called out to the girl lying on the ground with a stammering voice, hesitating whether to touch her.

Fortunately, after Goto Ichiri called out several times, the girl lying on the ground also opened her eyes.

"Is this... a mall?"

Kato Megumi was stunned when she opened her eyes and looked at the scene around her.

She remembered that she was resting in her room, so why did she suddenly appear in such a place?

Sitting up somewhat confused, Kato Megumi then looked at Goto Ichiri, the only person beside her with whom she could communicate.

"Excuse me, do you know where this is?"

I just heard Kato Megumi ask.

"Ah? I, I don't know either."

Being addressed suddenly, Goto Ichiri's body shuddered and he quickly answered.

"Is this so..."

Looking at the genuine expression on the other person's face, Kato Megumi stood up with some disappointment.

Suddenly appearing in the mall from home, could this be the legendary supernatural event?

As they were thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in their minds.

"Welcome to the dream space. It is detected that the dream player is completely awake. The copy mission is being issued. Players can check it by calling the panel in their minds."

"The dungeon quests are divided into main quests, side quests, and hidden quests. The main quests and side quests will be automatically generated after the player enters the dream dungeon. The hidden quests will be randomly triggered after meeting certain conditions, depending on the situation of the dream player."

The mechanical voice did not give the two people any time to react, and instilled information about the dream space and dream copy into the minds of the two dream players.

Chapter 20: Kato Megumi and Goto Ichiri

"Dream space... Is this why we are here?"

Kato Megumi, who had a certain understanding of the current situation through the voice in her mind and the information instilled in her, nodded, with a hint of surprise on her calm face.

Such an extraordinary thing actually happened to a high school girl like her who is just ordinary in school. I don’t know whether to say it is good luck or bad luck.

Looking at the girl with long pink hair, wearing a pink sportswear and trousers, Kato Megumi wanted to ask her what her plans were for the follow-up after she understood the situation.

After all, they were the people who entered the dungeon with her, and Kato Megumi didn't think she was special in any way, so if possible, she still hoped to join forces with the others.

Unexpectedly, when I looked at the other person, I found that he had curled up into a ball and hid aside.

"There is actually a voice that can speak directly from other people's minds. This is so scary. How should I answer? No, should I answer or not? Or should I just pretend that I didn't hear it, but if I don't answer, will I be considered rude..."

After getting closer, Kato Megumi heard Goto Ichiri mumbling to himself.

"Shouldn't we pay more attention to the content of the sound at this time?"

I don't know if it was a reminder or just a complaint, but I heard Kato Megumi speak silently.

However, although her behavior might be a bit strange, Kato Megumi still did not give up her plan. In such a place, the other party was the only person she could find to communicate with.

"Hello, my name is Kato Megumi, a high school student at the Private Toyosaki Academy. May I ask who you are?"

The sudden voice beside her made the pink-haired girl, who was originally limp, jump up instantly.

"You...I...Aba Aba Aba..."

Perhaps because she hadn't communicated with anyone for too long, the girl's language system briefly crashed. Although she kept organizing sentences in her mind, what she said turned into a series of incomprehensible garbled codes.

After a while, the girl's language function finally returned to normal.

"My name is Goto Ichiri, and I'm a freshman at Shuka High School..."

After introducing himself, Goto Ichiri fell silent again.

However, in stark contrast to his apparent silence, Goto Ichiri's heart seemed unusually active at this moment.

"When did she come close to me? Why didn't I notice her at all? She walked without making any sound, just like a ghost!"

The above is Goto Ichiri’s thoughts on Kato Megumi.

Kato Megumi was obviously unaware that the silent girl in front of her had such rich inner thoughts. Seeing that she had no intention of speaking actively, she could only continue to talk about her purpose.

"Goto-san must have heard the voice in your head just now. We seem to have come to a place called Dream Dungeon. We need to complete the mission and survive here. So, Goto-san, do you have any specific arrangements for the follow-up situation?"

"Voice, mission, specific arrangements..."

Hearing Kato Megumi's reminder, Goto Ichiri also recalled the content of the voice that suddenly sounded in his mind, but...

"I, I don't have any plans for this, I'm so sorry!"

It is really too difficult to expect a socially anxious girl who hardly communicates with others and stays at home practicing guitar on holidays to formulate an action plan in a short time after receiving a piece of information.

Fortunately, Kato Megumi did not expect to get any satisfactory answer. After getting the answer from the girl, she took the opportunity to invite the other party.

"Since we don't know what to do, why don't we act together?"

"Ah...of course, let's do it together."

Unable to think of any reason to refuse, Goto Ichiri could only nod.

"Then, based on the voice in my head earlier, let's check the player panel first."

As if she could see that the girl in front of her was not good at communicating with others, Kato Megumi began to take the initiative to guide the topic and opened her own panel.

Seeing Kato Megumi's actions, Goto Ichiri also opened his own player panel. He saw that except for the attributes, the contents displayed on it could be described as exactly the same.

Dream Player: Goto Ichiri

Constitution: 0.9

Agility: 1.0

Spirit: 0.9

Attribute points to be allocated: None

"There doesn't seem to be any different tasks on the player panel, which means that every player's tasks may be the same."

Just as Kato Megumi was studying the task, Goto Ichiri's eyes suddenly became terrified.

Because about ten meters away from where they were, a series of intermittent sounds suddenly came from behind the corner, and then a zombie staggered out.

The zombie was wearing torn and bloodstained clothes, and there were signs of decay in many places on its body. With its mouth open and emitting bursts of blood and stench, it slowly wandered around the mall.

"Little...be careful!"

Noticing Goto Ichiri's expression, Kato Megumi quickly turned her head and looked at the zombies wandering not far away.

From their current position, they can easily see the zombies, but it will take some time for them to discover them.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi grabbed Goto Ichiri's hand, and the two of them quietly retreated to a corner behind them.

Fortunately, the zombies that suddenly appeared didn’t seem to have any intention of coming this way. They just wandered around for a few circles not far away, then turned around and gradually left.

After the zombies completely left, Kato Megumi and Goto Ichiri in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this the zombie mentioned in the mission?"

I only heard Kato Megumi speak in a low voice.

"Let's find a safe place first, and the rest can wait."

Realizing that this place is not safe, the top priority for Kato Megumi and Goto Ichiri is to find a safe place where they will not be disturbed by zombies.

"it is good."

In this regard, Goto Ichiri did not dare to raise any objections and immediately nodded in agreement.

Generally speaking, merchants in large shopping malls usually choose to place restaurants selling food on higher floors. The shopping mall where Kato Megumi and Goto Ichiri are currently located naturally follows this rule as well.

And it just so happened that the floor they were on was the one where food was sold.

Not only that, the number of zombies on the entire floor seemed to be pitifully small. At least when Kato Megumi took a rough look, there were only a few monsters called zombies wandering around the entire floor.

Therefore, Kato Megumi naturally set her sights on these restaurants.

Chapter 21: Plan to build a shelter, Goto Ichiri's first kill

Dodging the zombies that appeared from time to time along the way, the two girls soon arrived at the dining area on the floor and hid in the back kitchen of a ramen restaurant.

The reason for choosing this place is that noodles are easier to preserve than vegetables and meat, and the location of this ramen restaurant is relatively good.

After locking all the doors and windows of the kitchen and confirming that the entire store was sealed, Kato Megumi and Goto Ichiri finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there are still zombies wandering outside the door, at least now they have a space that is safe enough to make them feel at ease.

Just like that, after finding their hiding place, the two girls had no intention of going out again for a short time.

evening.

Although I don't know the exact time, I can tell from the darkening sky around me that it is definitely getting late.

The mall was already pitch black at this time. Although the power supply was normal, because no one started the lighting facilities, as night fell, the mall was completely plunged into darkness.

However, Goto Ichiri was not afraid of this dark environment. After all, she often stayed in dark corners in real life. The current environment made her feel a little more at ease.
