I created a dream copy

Hayasaka Ai, who is well aware of the survival skills of her subordinates, thought silently in her heart.

Fortunately, Kaguya Shinomiya is not someone who likes to put pressure on her teammates. After her inner depression dissipated a little, she began to focus on other things.

"That monster called Tyrant, I must find a way to deal with it next time."

Kaguya Shinomiya, who already knew the tyrant's name and characteristics from the monster encyclopedia, whispered.

Tyrant T-103: Unlike biological weapons born from natural infection, it has a considerable degree of intelligence and strong physical ability, and will purposefully hunt down players during the dungeon.

The above is the introduction of the Tyrant in the illustration book. The fact that the Tyrant will purposefully hunt down players undoubtedly confirms Kaguya Shinomiya’s previous speculation. It is no coincidence that they encounter the Tyrant again and again during their actions in the dungeon.

The first sentence about biological weapons that were different from those born from natural infection made Kaguya Shinomiya think of the unknown viruses that appeared in the introduction of ordinary zombies and lickers.

This unknown virus that can transform humans into zombies is also not a product of nature. Coupled with the biological weapons mentioned in the Tyrant's illustrated introduction and the T-103 type with the suffix of the name, it is obvious that there is still a lot of unknown information waiting for them to discover in the copy.

"If we can find the source of the virus and the tyrant, perhaps we can meet the conditions to trigger the hidden mission."

Although they had learned about the hidden mission from the prompt in the dream space when they first entered the dream copy, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, who had entered the copy twice, had not been able to trigger this mission.

Now there seems to be a way to trigger the hidden task, but it is a pity that it cannot be completed in a short time.

Stopping thinking about it, Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at the time, then stood up and walked out of the room with Hayasaka Ai.

"How is the investigation of other players going?"

As they walked, Kaguya Shinomiya asked.

"There has been no progress so far, Miss Kaguya."

All I heard was Hayasaka Ai's answer.

"Continue investigating. If the academy doesn't have it, then expand the search area."

As for whether other players have this problem, Kaguya Shinomiya is very positive.

After all, the dream space is such a special place, and Shinomiya Kaguya doesn't believe that she and Hayasaka Ai are the only two players.

They probably aren't that special yet.

It's just that the other players may not be in the academy, or even in Tokyo, or in Neon.

Such an investigation was bound to be lengthy, and Kaguya Shinomiya knew that she couldn't be impatient.

For now, I should prepare for school.

......

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In an ordinary two-story house somewhere in Tokyo.

In a room that looked simply decorated, and even a little bit unlike a girl's room, Goto Ichiri slowly opened his eyes.

"I am..."

The experiences in the copy gradually flooded into her mind, and at a certain moment, the pink-haired girl suddenly widened her eyes.

"Yes, yes there are monsters!"

Painful memories came to her mind. She was beaten to death by the tall figure's iron fists. The pain and fear of not being able to even ask for help made the girl curl up in the quilt with her body trembling, not daring to show her head for a long time.

Although he didn't know why he was fine now, at a certain moment in the copy, Goto Ichiri really thought he was going to die.

No, even if you know that nothing will happen, you will still be shrouded in the shadow of death in that situation. After all, it feels too real.

"I don't know how Kato-san is doing now."

An unknown amount of time had passed before the girl, who had finally recovered a little, had the energy to think about the current situation of her companions in the copy.

It’s a pity that they didn’t exchange contact information in the copy. After all, they didn’t even have mobile phones at that time.

No, even if we exchanged contact information, it would probably be difficult for me to take the initiative to contact the other party, right?

That's fine.

The girl, who had a clear understanding of her own communication ability, said secretly.

But since everything is fine on my side, then Kato-san should be fine too. I don’t know if I will return to the copy and let them meet again.

No, no, no, what are you thinking about, Goto Ichiri? It’s better not to go back to that kind of hellhole place again in your life.

Boom boom boom!

There was a sudden knock on the door, startling Goto Ichiri who was in the room.

"Yili, it's time to get up. You'll be late for school if you're any later."

"Ah, I see."

The girl heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her mother's voice coming from outside the door.

Just now she almost thought that the monster in the copy had run into reality and knocked on her door.

He quickly got up, changed his clothes, washed up, and went downstairs to the kitchen.

As expected, her parents and her sister Goto Jiri were already waiting for her at the dining table.

"Oune-chan, you got up really late today. Did you sleep in?"

"Yeah, just now when I was downstairs I suddenly heard you yelling about monsters upstairs. Did you have a nightmare?"

"Do we need to prepare an exorcism ceremony or something like that?"

Feeling the care of his family, Goto Ichiri quickly sat down at the dining table.

"It's just that I slept a little late last night and had a nightmare, that's all. There's no need for an exorcism ceremony..."

As she spoke, the girl picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat.

Unexpectedly, with a slight force, the chopsticks in his hand broke into two pieces with a snap.

Looking at the chopsticks dropped on the table, the table fell into a strange silence.

"Well, I've been working out recently, so I've become a little stronger and so on!"

"But Ona-chan hasn't been out of the house recently except for going to school."

Looking at Goto Ichiri who was hurriedly trying to make amends at the dining table, the Goto couple couldn't help but look at each other.

"Why don't we prepare an exorcism ceremony? I think this kid has suddenly become so strong. I'm afraid he's really possessed by an evil spirit."

"Indeed, it's really worrying."

Chapter 24: Kato Megumi, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

In the end, after a lot of persuasion, Goto Ichiri finally convinced his family that he had been practicing guitar and exercising secretly in his room, and then he went out to school exhausted.

In comparison, Kato Megumi was much calmer.

I woke up normally, washed, ate, said goodbye to my family and went out.

The whole process was not even noticed to be any different from usual.

Of course, it is also possible that Kato Megumi’s presence at home is too low, and she does not show any abnormal behavior like Goto Ichiri, so her parents do not pay too much attention to her.

"I didn't expect that he didn't turn into a zombie in the end, but came back?"

On the way to school, Kato Megumi thought silently in her heart.

Compared to Goto Ichiri who collided head-on with the tyrant and died on the spot, Kato Megumi's exit process in the copy was not so painful, but it was full of real despair.

Relying on her inconspicuous low presence, Kato Megumi successfully escaped from the mall. In the following days, she was hunted by the tyrant and surrounded by other zombies. Finally, she was accidentally scratched by a zombie during an escape and was infected with the zombie virus.

The infection process of the zombie virus was not fast, so Kato Megumi had several hours to clearly experience the process of her transformation from a human to a zombie.

Finally, he fainted in the darkness.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the room, as if all her previous experiences were just a dream, giving Kato Megumi the illusion that she was in another world.

However, the powerful strength and physique that was different from the past, as well as the player panel that could still be opened at any time in reality, clearly told her that everything before was a real experience, not just a dream.

"I don't know how Goto-san is doing, but since I'm fine, Goto-san must have returned to reality, right?"

While he was thinking, a gust of wind suddenly blew over, and the beret that Kato Megumi was wearing on her head was blown away and hit the faces of a group of people dressed as bad boys not far away.

"Whose hat is this? How dare you hit me in the face!"

The bad boy who was hit held the beret that hit his face in his hand with an unhappy look on his face. The originally neat hat suddenly became wrinkled.

"Sorry, that's my hat."

A voice that sounded apologetic but also carried a hint of dissatisfaction came from the side. The group of bad boys turned around, only to find that a young girl had been standing beside them.

"Your hat?"

They looked the girl in front of them up and down, then turned around as if discussing something, and malicious smiles appeared on their faces.

"Your hat hit me in the face. I'm very angry now. Why don't you come with us to the alley over there and apologize to us, and we'll return your hat to you. How about that?"

"That's right, go over there and apologize, and we'll return your hat to you."

Several other bad boys nearby joined in the fun.

If it were an ordinary high school girl, she would have been scared away at this time; no, she would not even come close when she first found out that the hat was thrown at a few bad boys.

However, Kato Megumi nodded calmly.

"can."

Then he followed a few bad boys into the alley.

Not far away, a teenager wearing glasses and riding a bicycle witnessed this scene and immediately looked anxious.

"Why did she really go in with those guys? Can we trust what those bad boys say?"

In fact, the beret was originally flying towards him, but for some reason the wind direction changed during the flight, causing him to be unable to catch the hat, and the hat hit the bad boys.

Theoretically, the best thing to do now would be to call the police immediately, but I don't know if he was trying to be a hero or was really anxious, the boy named Tomoya Aki simply threw his bicycle aside and rushed directly into the alley.

However, when he rushed to the entrance of the alley and looked inside, he found that the scene inside was a little different from what he had imagined.

He saw that the girl, who he had originally believed would be coerced by the bad boys, was now holding a beret in one hand and pinching the neck of the bad boy who had led the group with the other hand, lifting him up with one hand and pressing him against the wall.

Around them, several other bad boys were lying on the ground, wailing in pain as if they had suffered a heavy blow.

"What's up?"

Kato Megumi was seen holding the leading bad boy in one hand, and turned to ask Aki Tomoya who was standing at the entrance of the alley.

"No, it's okay, I'm just passing by."

"Yeah."

Throwing the unconscious bad boy aside, Kato Megumi put away the dirty beret and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

"Please give way."

"it is good."

Having witnessed the power of girls, Amaki Tomoya didn't dare to raise any objection at all. He just stood aside and made way, as timid as a quail.

After the girl walked away, Aki Tomoya finally mustered up the courage to carefully observe the scene in the alley.

In the entire alley, including on the bodies of several bad boys, there were no signs of a fight except for the mud they were covered with after falling to the ground. In addition, from the time the girl entered the alley to the time Aki Tomoya ran to the entrance of the alley, it took no more than half a minute.

In other words, most of the bad boys were probably knocked down with just one punch.

With such skills, if he doesn't know martial arts, then he must be born with supernatural powers, right?

Anyway, judging from the slender back of the girl when she left, Akitomo Tomoya certainly did not believe that the girl had reached this level through training.

Come to think of it, judging from the direction she walked when she left, could she also be a student at Feng Zhiqi High School?

"Forget it. If you really meet such a violent girl in school in the future, you should stay away from her."

Based on the power displayed by the girl, Amami Tomoya believed that if he accidentally made her unhappy, she would definitely beat him to death with one punch.

He shook his head and was about to leave when a hand suddenly grabbed Aki Tomoya's ankle.

It turned out that a bad boy who was closer to Aki Tomoya was grabbing his leg, and the other bad boys in the alley, except the one who was choked unconscious by Kato Megumi, had stood up one after another.

"Boy, it's fun to watch us make fun of you, right? Then why don't you get closer and take a closer look?!"

"No, it's all misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Soon, screams were heard from the originally quiet alley.
