I created a dream copy

After receiving the mission rewards, this time Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai added attribute points to agility. The stiffness that was originally felt due to the increase in strength and constitution attributes disappeared, and the whole body felt very relaxed at this moment.

At the same time, new task content is refreshed on the player panel.

Side Quest 0: Kill the Licker (1/)

Mission reward: Free attribute point*1

(Subsequent branch tasks will be generated after the task is completed)

--------

As expected, as the number of completions increased, the difficulty of the side quests was no longer simply increased by increasing the number of ordinary zombies that needed to be killed, but as Kaguya Shinomiya had previously guessed, the mission targets were shifted from ordinary zombies to special zombies.

And the first target is the Licker who caused the two of them to be wiped out in the last dungeon.

Fortunately, judging from the situation last night, there are far more than one Lickers, so Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai don't have to go back to school to look for the Licker who killed them in the previous round. There should be Lickers in the bustling commercial street in front of them.

Hiding behind the corner of a building on the commercial street, Hayasaka Ai carefully scanned the situation on the street.

If the scene of hundreds of zombies wandering on the school playground where they woke up in the previous round was disgusting and shocking, then the number of zombies wandering on this once prosperous commercial street in front of them was no less than the number of zombies on the school playground that Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya had seen before.

After all, how could the number of zombies in a small school be compared with the number of zombies in a busy commercial street?

At a cursory glance, the number of zombies wandering on the commercial street in front of us is endless, and it is estimated that there are definitely more than ten thousand.

In a place like this, if they made the slightest noise, the two of them would be utterly annihilated by the zombies rushing over from all directions.

Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai obviously had no interest in trying such a tragic death, so they turned their attention to the commercial buildings lined up on both sides of the street.

According to the background description of the Licker in the Monster Manual, this special zombie that evolved from an ordinary zombie to a critical point is normal no matter where it appears. However, based on its habit of climbing, it is obviously more likely to encounter it in a building of a certain height.

The building that best meets the requirements nearby is undoubtedly a seven-story shopping mall on the east side of the commercial street, which covers an area of ​​20,000 square meters.

Carefully bypassing the endless tide of zombies on the street, the two entered the mall. As soon as they entered, they saw a dozen zombies dressed in different costumes rushing towards them.

However, for the two men now, a dozen zombies are no longer an unsolvable problem. The two men acted separately and each separated a part of the zombies, defeating them one by one, and soon wiped out the dozen zombies.

But the crisis has not been resolved, because the number of zombies in this large shopping mall is no less than the zombies in the school, even if it is not as much as the tide of zombies on the streets outside.

The sounds made by Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai when they were dealing with the zombies attracted more zombies. Feeling the commotion quickly coming from the surroundings, in order not to be discovered, the two had to find a dressing room to hide in.

In the mall, the zombies that followed the sound failed to find their target. After wandering around for a while, they began to disperse gradually.

In the locker room, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai breathed a sigh of relief when they noticed that the noise outside was gradually dying down.

However, before the two of them could take the next step, a familiar sound of footsteps slowly came from afar.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

A tall figure in a black windbreaker walked in the mall, and from time to time there was a muffled sound coming from his side. It was the sound of the zombies blocking the road being smashed by a punch.

After a moment, it came to the outside of the shop where the dressing room was located and stared inside. The atmosphere around it instantly became quiet.

Chapter 18: Kill the Licker, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka are blocked at the door

Silence, deathly silence.

Under the gaze of the tall figure in a black windbreaker, the entire store was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and even the sound of breathing could not be felt.

After pausing in silence for a moment, the figure finally turned around and took another step, gradually fading away with a heavy voice.

After several minutes passed, a slight sound was finally heard from the dressing room in the store. Hayasaka Ai carefully poked her head out from the crack in the door. After confirming that there was really no danger, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, smoothed her blonde hair by her ears, and walked out from behind the door.

"We are safe for now, Miss Kaguya."

Behind Hayasaka Ai, Shinomiya Kaguya walked out of the door with a solemn expression, staring at the direction where the figure left, and then looked at the corpses of zombies that were casually smashed along the way outside the store.

"Let's...get out of here first."

Although she was full of questions, Kaguya Shinomiya knew that now was not the time to talk about them, so she decisively chose to retreat first.

Temporarily retreating from the mall, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai carefully selected a place to live, and finally chose a single-family apartment located on the outskirts of the commercial street. The location was remote, with few roads but many buildings around it, which could provide good cover for evacuation in case of danger.

Inside the apartment, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai temporarily put down their bags, and while taking a rest, they began to think about what had happened to them.

Thinking back to last night and everything they had just experienced in the mall, it was obvious that the appearance of that tall figure was not accidental.

"Whether it was last night or when we met at the mall, the other party always seemed to be looking for something with a purpose."

"Moreover, after meeting him last night, I deliberately made some changes to today's route, deliberately going in the opposite direction from the direction he left last."

"But even so, we still encountered each other again after more than ten hours. So, excluding extreme coincidences, can it be understood that the other party has some special means to track players to a certain extent?"

If this is true, then the apartment they are currently staying in will obviously be visited by the other party soon.

Realizing this, both of them couldn't help but feel a little heavy in their hearts. The main quest, which they originally thought would not be difficult as long as they focused on surviving, now began to become confusing and confusing.

Being chased by those ghost creatures that can kill a licker with one punch, no matter what they want to do, they will be greatly restricted.

"No, there's no need to worry too much. Even if they can really track us, they can probably only determine the approximate range. After all, they didn't find us when we were in the mall before. Moreover, if there is more than one monster, it's possible that we encounter them one after another by coincidence."

Even though she had prepared for the worst in her heart, Kaguya Shinomiya did not blindly assume the worst. Nothing is absolute. What if they were just unlucky and everything that happened was just a coincidence?

Although Kaguya Shinomiya knew that the possibility of this happening was very small, they could only use this thought to comfort themselves now.

Taking out the map, Kaguya Shinomiya began to re-plan her route carefully.

First of all, try to avoid relatively closed indoor spaces, and try to choose a location for action where there are many buildings of various types, complex roads, and terrain that is more conducive to escape.

Secondly, because their current mission target is the Licker, they are not completely prohibited from going indoors. Some spaces are relatively spacious, and large buildings such as shopping malls, office buildings, etc. that meet certain requirements can be entered as appropriate to search for traces of the Licker.

Of course, we definitely can’t go back to that shopping mall for a while. Only a fool would go back at this time.

"Use the commercial street as the center point and search for traces of the Lickers along the surrounding buildings. If necessary, you can split up and act separately, but you need to keep in touch at all times. If you find a Licker, notify each other immediately."

Taking out the walkie-talkie from the package that they had found in a street shop selling electronic and mechanical equipment before coming to the commercial street, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai did not stay in the apartment for long and set out again on the journey to find the Licker.

Hard work pays off. In the afternoon, before the sun set, the two finally found the lickers in an office building, and they found two of them at once.

Inside the office building, watching the licker at the corner from afar, Shinomiya Kaguya wrote on each other's palms while communicating messages with Hayasaka Ai through eye contact.

Although the two were wiped out by a single Licker in the previous round, they are different now. Their strength, physique and agility have all nearly doubled. In addition, they have fully understood the information about the Lickers through the illustrations, so it is not impossible for them to deal with a Licker each.

"One for each of us, let's make a quick decision."

Gripping the weapon tightly in her hand, Kaguya Shinomiya tiptoed and walked quietly to the other side.

Since we already know from the illustrations that Lickers have no eyesight, we should naturally make good use of this shortcoming.

He picked up a thermos from a desk on the floor and threw it on the ground beside him. The sound it made instantly attracted the attention of two lickers.

One of the lickers instantly crawled towards the direction where the sound came from, and suddenly pounced when it got close to a certain distance. Just as the other licker was about to move, a sound was also heard from the other side.

I saw Hayasaka Ai picking up the baseball bat hanging on her waist, and next to her were documents that had been knocked off the desk and onto the floor.

After feeling the distance between the two sounds, the other licker decisively ran towards Hayasaka Ai.

“ahhhhhh————!!!”

The shrill roar was as uncomfortable as the sound of a sharp object rubbing against a blackboard. On Kaguya Shinomiya's side, the licker climbed back and forth on the wall and ceiling swiftly, and then suddenly pounced downwards.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been waiting for a long time, clenched the steel pipe in her hand, and with the added strength and agility, she dodged the attack when the Licker was about to approach, then swung the steel pipe in her hand and hit the Licker on the head accurately.

Suddenly, a roar accompanied by a scream was heard, and the mad licker waved its front legs and attacked the surroundings frantically, but Shinomiya Kaguya, who was prepared for this familiar scene, stepped back to avoid it.

"After all, it's just an irrational monster. As long as we know the information, it won't be too difficult to kill it with the current attributes of Hayasaka and I."

After waiting for a while, when the licker stopped going crazy, Kaguya Shinomiya approached again, and with the help of her strength, she shoved the steel pipe in her hand directly into the licker's mouth to prevent the other party from extending its mouthparts to attack again. Then she jumped onto the other party's back, grabbed his neck with one hand, and took out a saber hidden at her waist with the other hand and stabbed it into the licker's head, stirring it fiercely.

The sudden intense pain made the licker under him struggle frantically, but the struggling sound soon stopped.

After pulling the saber that was almost broken in her hand out from the licker's head and confirming that the other party was dead, Kaguya Shinomiya turned her gaze to the other side.

I saw that the battle on Hayasaka Ai's side had also ended, even earlier than that on Shinomiya Kaguya's side.

"Miss Kaguya, are you okay?"

Hayasaka Ai shook off the blood on the baseball bat, walked over the body of the licker to the side of Shinomiya Kaguya, and then asked.

"It's okay, just some scratches, no direct injuries."

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head in reply.

There's no need to ask about Hayasaka Ai, the situation should be the same.

At this moment, the two of them have each killed a licker, and side quest four has been completed.

However, before Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai opened the player panel and could receive their rewards, they suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

At the end of the corridor, a tall figure in a black windbreaker slowly walked up the stairs, and his oppressive gaze instantly locked onto Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai.

Chapter 19: New Dream Player

Shinomiya Kaguya passed away peacefully.

After their only way out was blocked and they put up a futile resistance, they were punched out of the copy along with Hayasaka Ai by a tall figure in a windbreaker.

real world.

"The tyrant is still strong."

In the apartment, Qin Tian, ​​who was sitting comfortably in a chair watching the show, couldn't help but sigh when faced with such a result.

You know, with the current strength of Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, it would be no problem for them to kill the Licker alone if they are well prepared. However, when facing the Tyrant, they were knocked out with one punch, leaving them with their mouths open and their eyes closed, suffering a complete defeat.

Yes, the tall figure who followed the two people all the way and finally blocked Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai in the office building was one of the classic characters in Resident Evil, the Tyrant.

In order to bring more fun to dream players, Qin Tian specially set up such a character when creating the copy, and added special abilities to it that can locate players.

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya guessed in the copy, the reason why they encountered the tyrant again and again was not a coincidence, but the tyrant was hunting down the players with a purpose.

Moreover, as time goes by in the dungeon, the Tyrant's special ability to locate players will gradually become stronger.

At the beginning of the dungeon, the Tyrant can only locate the approximate range of the player. As time goes on in the dungeon, the Tyrant's positioning ability will become more and more accurate, reaching its peak in the last three days.

At that time, the tyrant will not only be able to accurately locate the player's position, but its attributes will also be improved in all aspects. It can be said that he is extremely inhuman.

"It seems to be still early now."

Turning around to glance at the wall clock, even though Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai had been in the copy for almost two days, due to the different flow of time, only a few hours had passed in the real world.

It just so happens that while there is still time, it seems that I can continue with my previous plan and attract two new lucky people to become players and contribute surplus value to myself.

"Let me see who has such luck?"

With a murmur, Qin Tian once again activated the dream space's function of pulling people in, and locked the scope to the characters of several corresponding animation series that he had discovered today.

......

Ichiri Goto is a famous guitarist in Shimokitazawa and a core member of a well-known rock band.

In school, she is lively and cheerful. She is a sunny and beautiful girl who always discusses for a long time with her friends about where to go for fun during every holiday. She is a popular star and enjoys the reputation of "Queen of Guitar". Her admirers can line up around the school more than three times.

At home, she is a model student that her parents can rest assured about. She has excellent grades, is good at communication, has many friends, is good at both housework and cooking, and is proficient in all kinds of housework and cooking skills.

All the above content is fantasy.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

In fact, Goto Ichiri is just a nobody in school, a marginal figure that no one cares about. Although she has been practicing guitar for two years, she has not been able to join any band. On weekdays, she is just an extremely socially phobic girl who dares not communicate with others, dark and withdrawn.

The only consolation is that the girl has an account called "Guitar Hero" on the Internet, which now has 30,000 fans, but it has not brought any changes to the girl's daily life, and no one even knows her identity.

It’s tragic just to think about it.

"Sure enough, people like me can only rot in a dark corner like garbage, without any value or meaning of existence..."

Lying on the mattress, Goto Ichiri silently wrapped himself in the quilt, as if only this could bring a little warmth to his heart.

Outside the window, the night is getting dark.

In the room, Goto Ichiri also began to fall asleep.

Suddenly, a voice abruptly sounded in the silent space.

"Congratulations, you have been selected as a dream player. You are entering the dream space..."

"The copy is loading————"

......

Cold, shaking.
