I created a dream copy

Having made the decision, the two took action immediately without wasting any time.

What the two of them didn't know was that as they were heading towards the cafeteria.

......

Beyond the copy

"Dead."

In the real world, inside a rental house.

Qin Tian was sitting on a chair at this time. In front of him was a transparent screen that only he could see. What was being played on the screen was the scene of Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai in the copy.

As the saying goes, human happiness is built on the suffering of others. Although Qin Tian did not intend to put anyone's life in danger, looking at the selected dream players moving cautiously in the copy, Qin Tian still felt a different kind of joy in his heart.

At this moment, looking at the actions of Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai in the picture, Qin Tian shook his head.

It’s not that Kaguya Shinomiya’s decision was wrong. According to the existing information, the school the two are in now is not large, with only a few hundred people at most, and the number of zombies gathered on the playground is roughly estimated to be in the hundreds.

In other words, most of the zombies gather in the playground, so as long as you don't attract the attention of these zombies, other places in the school will probably not be in much danger.

The problem is, since it is based on the Resident Evil world, there must be more than just ordinary zombies in this copy.

Ultimately, it was due to insufficient intelligence.

Perhaps Kaguya Shinomiya could guess something from the large area of ​​unlocked shadows in the monster encyclopedia, but before seeing it with her own eyes, she could only speculate based on the situation of ordinary zombies.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian didn't say anything more. After all, others didn't have his God's perspective, and could know all the information in the copy.

......

At the same time, inside the copy.

Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai had already arrived outside the cafeteria safely.

The two looked at each other, then entered the cafeteria through the back door.

What caught my eye was the kitchen piled with various kitchen utensils, and...the foul smell that hit me in the face.

"What is the taste?"

The two men glanced around and found a rotten body with half of its body stuck in the ventilation duct in the back kitchen.

It was a disgusting scene, and even the two people who were used to seeing zombies along the way and even killed them with their own hands couldn't help but feel nauseous again.

"It looks like a normal human corpse. It didn't turn into a zombie before dying."

Hayasaka Ai took the lead and stepped forward to observe, enduring the discomfort.

Judging from the deceased's actions before death and the surrounding environment, the person should not have been infected before death.

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya also took two steps forward. After all, this was the first time they had encountered a normal human being who was not a zombie in this world, even though it was just a corpse.

"Judging from his actions, he was trying to escape through the ventilation duct, but ended up getting stuck inside."

As she spoke, Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head.

Although in many movies and other film and television works, there are often plots where the protagonist uses ventilation ducts to escape or sneak into somewhere, but that is just an exaggeration of the film and television works.

Under normal circumstances, no place would have the time to build a ventilation duct so large that a person can pass through easily.

The corpse in front of him must have been forced into a desperate situation before he died, otherwise he would not have forcefully tried to escape from the ventilation duct, with half of his body stuck inside.

There's no way someone could really be that stupid, right?

"Okay, let's go find some supplies. Be careful."

Without forgetting their original purpose, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai quickly turned their eyes away from the corpse.

Fortunately, the experiences along the way had changed the mentality of both of them significantly compared to when they first entered the dungeon, so they soon stopped paying attention to the corpse at the entrance of the ventilation duct and focused on searching for supplies.

The school is not large, so the cafeteria naturally cannot be equipped with a cold storage to store food, so the two naturally focused their attention on the row of refrigerators in the kitchen.

When I opened the refrigerator, a gust of cold air blew in. It was obvious that there was no problem with the power supply in this school for the time being.

Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai looked inside and saw a large amount of frozen meat and vegetables placed in the refrigerator. It seemed that the food reserves here were sufficient.

However, facing this scene, Kaguya Shinomiya frowned.

When the body was discovered, Kaguya Shinomiya realized that someone might have already got here, so she had already made the worst-case scenario plan in her mind.

But judging from the refrigerator filled with food, this canteen has plenty of supplies.

While this is a good thing, it also presents another problem.

That was the body that was stuck in the ventilation duct before. Why did he run away before he died?

There were no signs of damage to the doors and windows of the kitchen, no signs of zombies were found around, and there was plenty of food in the refrigerator. Logically, it should be safe here.

Unless...there are unknown dangers in this cafeteria!

Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kaguya turned around and wanted to remind Hayasaka Ai, but found that Hayasaka Ai beside her was also looking at her.

Obviously, Hayasaka Ai also realized that something was wrong here.

Just as the two were about to grab some supplies and leave quickly, a strange movement suddenly came from above their heads.

Tick ​​tock...tick tock...

A drop of saliva slowly dripped and landed on Kaguya Shinomiya's face.

Shinomiya Kaguya looked up and saw a monster lying on the ceiling. It had long limbs, an exposed brain, dense fangs and claws that reflected a cold light, and its entire body seemed to have no skin.

“ahhhhh————!!!”

With a sharp scream, the monster lying on the ceiling leaped down, raised its sharp claws that were flashing with cold light high, and then swung down in an instant.

"Miss Kaguya, be careful!"

Shinomiya Kaguya heard Hayasaka Ai's cry.

Feeling the rapidly approaching attack from overhead, Kaguya Shinomiya reacted extremely quickly and stepped back. With a teeth-grinding friction sound, the refrigerator between the two of them was instantly torn in half.

Chapter 7: Shinomiya Kaguya, Death

"escape!"

Seeing the destructive power displayed by the monster that suddenly appeared in front of them, Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai ran towards the cafeteria door without any hesitation.

However, with another scream, the monster behind the two adjusted its angle and pounced towards them again.

Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai quickly dodged to the sides, and then they saw the unknown monster passing through the middle, leaving several scratches on the cafeteria floor with its sharp claws, and it just blocked the exit of the cafeteria.

"trouble..."

Seeing this scene, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression suddenly became solemn, and her eyes subconsciously looked to the side.

Since the cafeteria is not large, apart from the exit at the main entrance, there is only one exit, the staff passage on the side. The purpose is probably to facilitate the cafeteria staff to transport food. Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai had already discovered this when they just entered the cafeteria to observe.

At this moment, the main exit of the cafeteria was blocked by this suddenly appearing monster. Judging from the destructive power just demonstrated by the opponent, a head-on conflict with this monster was obviously not a wise choice. Therefore, the first thing that Shinomiya Kaguya thought of was to evacuate through the employee passage.

However, before she could take a step, Kaguya Shinomiya seemed to suddenly think of something and stopped.

No... With the speed that this suddenly appearing monster had shown before, it could have jumped over a distance of more than ten meters from the back kitchen of the cafeteria and jumped directly over them blocking the exit. With the speed of her and Hayasaka, it was impossible for them to escape from the cafeteria before the monster caught up with them again.

At the moment, in a relatively spacious space, she and Hayasaka could still dodge each other's attacks by relying on their reaction speed. However, once they left such an environment and entered the relatively narrow employee passage, and were caught up by the monster in front of them, then in such an environment, her and Hayasaka's behavior would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Moreover, if Kaguya Shinomiya remembered correctly, the monster first attacked them from the ceiling of the kitchen on the first floor of the cafeteria. Considering that she and Hayasaka had carefully observed the surroundings when they just entered the cafeteria, they did not find anything suspicious except the corpse in the ventilation duct.

In other words, the other party either lurked in from other floors while the two were collecting supplies, or took advantage of the height difference to hide in the blind spot of the roof ceiling from the beginning, so he was not discovered by the two at the first time.

Shinomiya Kaguya thought the latter was more likely, because although the back kitchen of the cafeteria was designed to be directly connected to the cafeteria hall, considering that she and Hayasaka would observe the surroundings from time to time while searching for supplies and basically never let down their guard, if this monster really was lurking from other floors, it would be almost impossible for Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai not to have discovered it.

And these two possibilities, whether the former or the latter, only prove one thing, that is, the monster in front of us has excellent climbing ability.

In other words, a relatively closed environment like indoors is equally unfavorable for Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai.

Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kaguya resolutely turned around and rushed towards the stairs leading to the second floor of the cafeteria not far away.

Hayasaka Ai, who was standing by, was stunned when she saw this, but then she quickly understood Kaguya Shinomiya's thoughts and quickly followed.

Although the specific strength of this monster is still unclear, since it cannot escape now and the environment on the first floor is not favorable to them, they have no choice but to go to the second floor or other floors, find an environment that is favorable to them, and then find a way to kill it.

"Isn't the information in the illustrated guide updated?"

While running, Kaguya Shinomiya opened the player panel, but found that no new content had been updated in the illustration book.

However, Kaguya Shinomiya had already prepared herself mentally for this situation. After all, the previous illustrated book content was updated after they killed an ordinary zombie. So according to inertia of thinking, if they wanted to unlock new illustrated book content, they naturally needed to kill new monsters to unlock it.

The reason I opened the panel was just to confirm my guess.

Unfortunately, the idea of ​​understanding the opponent's information before the battle failed, and I can only continue to act according to the original intention.

Arriving at the stairs leading to the second floor, with physical strength more than twice that of an ordinary person, they rushed up to the second floor in less than two seconds.

The entrance in front of the stairs on the second floor is not wide and can only accommodate three people walking side by side. If you want to restrict the other party's movements without affecting your own, this is obviously the best choice.

At the same time, the sound of heavy climbing and the friction of sharp claws on the floor were already close at hand. Just a moment after the two reached the second floor, the monster that was following them had already reached the stairs.

Seeing this, Kaguya Shinomiya, armed with a weapon, retreated to the corner beside the stairs, while Hayasaka Ai picked up a sturdy-looking chair and stood at the entrance of the second floor. She clenched her hands and suppressed all the panic, fear, uneasiness and other emotions into the deepest part of her heart.

After all, she and Miss Kaguya were just girls who had just entered high school. Even though they had tried their best to adjust their mindsets at the beginning, it was still okay when they were facing a few ordinary zombies. But now they suddenly had to face an agile, terrifying and unknown monster, and it was inevitable that they felt heavy in their hearts.

Even ordinary zombies carry the virus, and Hayasaka Ai doesn't believe that the monster in front of her doesn't have it.

As long as you get injured, you will be infected. This kind of battle with basically zero tolerance will itself put people under tremendous psychological pressure, not to mention the destructive power previously displayed by the opponent. Those thick claws can probably tear the human body apart easily.

Just thinking that Miss Kaguya still needed her protection, Hayasaka Ai still resolutely stood in this most dangerous position.

Moreover, this is also the most reasonable arrangement. After all, Hayasaka Ai has a higher agility attribute and a faster reaction speed than Shinomiya Kaguya. This is why Shinomiya Kaguya chose to stand at the corner from the beginning and let Hayasaka Ai stand in front of the more dangerous entrance.

The current situation does not allow Kaguya Shinomiya to act on her emotions.

Her eyes were fixed straight ahead, looking at the figure rushing towards them along the stairs. The moment the other person reached the second floor, Hayasaka Ai aimed the chair in her hand at the other person's head, which seemed to have its brain exposed.

The monster that had just arrived on the second floor didn't have time to react before it was hit by a huge force and let out a scream. It lost its balance and fell to the side.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been waiting at the corner, immediately delivered another blow to the opponent's head with a very standard force posture, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

However, the successive heavy blows were obviously not enough to kill the monster completely. Before Kaguya Shinomiya could retreat, she saw the opponent raise one of its front paws and swung it heavily.

Peng!

Even though she defended herself the moment she noticed the opponent's attack, Kaguya Shinomiya's body was still knocked aside by the blow.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

A roar was heard, and facing the fallen Kaguya Shinomiya, half of her head was smashed and dented. The monster, with thick blood constantly flowing out, was about to move forward, but was knocked to the ground by the sudden force from behind.

"Miss, hurry up! I can't hold on for much longer!"

Behind the monster, Hayasaka Ai had thrown away the chair that had been used as a temporary weapon. She held one of the monster's sturdy forelimbs tightly with both hands from behind, while her legs locked the other side tightly at the joints. She lay horizontally behind the monster, and with her enhanced strength, she pressed the monster down with her hands behind her back.

Hearing Hayasaka Ai's cry, Shinomiya Kaguya endured the severe pain and climbed up from the ground. One arm hung in front of her body, obviously broken. She felt waves of piercing pain in her right leg joints. The steel pipe she was holding tightly in her hand was severely bent. She had used it to resist the monster's attack before, but it was now completely scrapped.

But even so, Kaguya Shinomiya still limped forward, threw the steel pipe aside with the arm that could still move normally, then picked up a chair and walked towards the monster in front of her that was restrained by Hayasaka Ai.

The two most dangerous front limbs have been locked by Hayasaka. Now is the best time to kill the opponent!

As long as... as long as we can get to that place...

Staring at the monster in front of her, Kaguya Shinomiya gradually narrowed the distance between them.

However, just as she was about to get closer, Kaguya Shinomiya noticed that the monster in front of her slowly opened its mouth, and a long and tough mouthpart protruded from its mouth full of sharp teeth.

A strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped her whole body, but her current body was no longer sufficient to support Kaguya Shinomiya's quick response.

Accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, the sharp mouthparts pierced through Kaguya Shinomiya's body like a sharp arrow.

"Miss Kaguya!"

Her thinking gradually became dull and the scene in front of her eyes became blurred. The last thing Kaguya Shinomiya heard was Hayasaka Ai's cry.

Chapter 8: Add new settings and improve the dream space

Shinomiya Kaguya passed away peacefully.

Because he didn't know the information about the Licker, he died quickly after his heart was pierced by the Licker's mouthparts, and he didn't feel much pain.

After Kaguya Shinomiya died, Hayasaka Ai did not hold on for long before she was also sent out of the dream space. Together with Kaguya Shinomiya, the master and servant returned home.

In the real world, inside a rental house.

Qin Tian was not surprised by this result.
