Offer a savior to the infinite world!

The sunlight fell on the street, illuminating Lin Yi who was sitting in front of a residential building.

He did not step into the residential building, he just stepped one foot inside.

Iino's surveillance can clearly show this.

It is now 12: noon, close to noon, which is the so-called noon time.

And Lin Yi already understood that what he encountered this time might be more troublesome than expected.

Chapter D-04: Convergence at Noon

"Well, I didn't see Mr. Lin Yi. Are they really scattered?"

Tanjiro muttered to himself and walked out of the alley.

A bustling modern city unfolded before his sight. If Tanjiro had not already gone through several savior missions and visited the savior community, where he had seen more prosperous and advanced places, he would probably have been exclaiming in amazement by now.

The future city is the type of thing I am least good at. After all, I have no idea what many things here are.

In short, let's hide the Nichirin Sword for the time being. After all, there are weapons control regulations in many places in the future city. If you carry this thing with you, it will easily attract attention and may have a bad impact on the mission.

Thinking this way, the young man pulled his armor, hid the blade at his waist, and then prepared to reunite with his teammates.

"Mr. Tanjiro, this way."

Not far away on the street, a fox girl with nine fluffy tails waved at Tanjiro, and then walked into an alley nearby.

The strange looks from the people around were quite obvious. After all, both Tanjiro's Demon Slayer Corps uniform and Suzuran's ears and tail were quite conspicuous. When the Savior System did not provide camouflage service, their appearance, especially Suzuran's, attracted a lot of attention.

However, most of these followers just pointed and said things like "Is this a dress-up game?", "It's cosplay, you old-fashioned guy", "This prop doesn't look cheap, it looks like the real thing", "Who's crazy enough to let a child play this kind of role-playing" and so on. Maybe I just took advantage of the relatively open-minded personality of the people in this place and fooled them for the time being.

"Ms. Suzuran, we are working together again to complete the mission."

The young man smiled gently, and together with Linglan, he chose a remote alley where few people stood.

"Well, we're working together again. Speaking of which, it seems that the others haven't arrived yet. Well, there is a coordinate point approaching. Let's wait here for a while. When the people arrive, we can decide the next exploration direction. Is that ok?"

Lily of the Valley smiled and spoke, its nine big tails swaying gently, appearing to be in a good mood.

They talked briefly about each other's experiences in the past two months. After a while, a girl in sportswear, who looked like a high school student, walked in from the alley. She looked around furtively, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tanjiro and Suzuran, two of Lin Yi's companions whom she had met at the beach before. Then she trotted over and stopped in front of the two of them.

"Hello, nice to see you again. Well, let me introduce myself a little more formally. I'm Yotsuya Miko, a G-rank savior who has the ability to sense special life forms that ordinary people can't."

The girl spoke to the two of them very seriously, but from her slightly clenched fingers it could be seen that she was still somewhat nervous.

"Well, hello Ms. Yotsuya, I'm Tanjiro Kamado, an F-rank savior, specializing in close combat with a sword."

"I'm Suzuran, an F-rank savior with the ability to perform the slow spell. Let's work together to overcome this difficulty."

Tanjiro and Suzuran responded with a smile, and introduced themselves again like Miko. The sunny and cheerful look on their faces and their very friendly attitudes made Miko's nervousness ease, and she also smiled and nodded.

But soon Jianzi looked around with some confusion, wondering why someone who should have been here did not show up.

"Senior, hasn't he come to join us yet? Well, the senior I'm talking about is Mr. Lin Yi. He taught me a lot of things so I call him senior."

Finally, Jianzi couldn't bear it any longer and asked in a low voice.

In the teammates' coordinates, except for the three points that have already converged here, the other two points are quite far apart, and there seems to be no plan to converge for the time being. I don't know what situation they have encountered.

"Maybe because we are so scattered, Mr. Lin Yi has gone to do preliminary reconnaissance. Anyway, now that we have gathered here, let's go find other people to join us. Hmm, but both points are so scattered, which one should we go to first?"

Tanjiro frowned, feeling a little bit troubled about making a choice.

"Perhaps we can collect some preliminary intelligence first. Miss Jianzi, did you see anything strange on the way here?"

Linglan thought for a moment, then looked at Jianzi and asked.

"Well, no, not really. This place is pretty normal."

Although he was much taller and older, Jianzi still answered honestly with the attitude of a junior.

To be honest, in Jianzi's eyes, this city is really too "clean".

There was nothing scary to see anywhere.

It seemed that the ghosts and monsters that existed in her world and were now being ravaged by the dragon hunting armor did not exist in this world.

This is still good, but if it has nothing to do with those things, then my own special abilities will probably be difficult to use, right?

Thinking of this, Jianzi raised his head and looked around, and then saw a building in the distance. Well, it seemed to be a building, and the specific purpose could not be seen. It was gray and shrouded in fog, and only the outline could be seen. It seemed to be far away from him.

Without taking it too seriously, Miko said a few more words to Tanjiro and Suzuran, then she couldn't help but raise her head again with a palpitation in her heart.

The gray building now has a clear outline and its shape.

"..."

Jianzi realized the problem at this moment.

Her long experience in dealing with all kinds of strange things allowed her to react quickly at this moment, and the distance between her and the building became shorter.

I had just entered this mission world and had only been there for less than an hour when an abnormal situation occurred and came directly to me.

What is that building?

Can it detect my gaze, and is it the kind of conceptual thing that will be discovered if it is seen?

Realizing the problem, Miko turned to look at Tanjiro and Suzuran, and opened her mouth to warn them.

But before she could take any action, a stronger sense of crisis suddenly came over her, causing her to instinctively call out for the dragon hunting armor.

call……

Nothing was called out.

The girl stood in the empty alley with wide eyes and found that she was unable to call out her system assistant.

No, that's not right. It's not just that the system assistant cannot be called out.

A drop of cold sweat seeped out of Jianzi's forehead.

Tanjiro and Suzuran beside him have disappeared.

The teammate coordinates function cannot be adjusted.

She... had no way of calling out the Savior System's functions and could not get a response from the system.

Chapter D-05: Girl at Noon

This is how the same thing?

Jianzi opened his eyes wide, and at this moment he felt cold all over, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

clam down.

You have to calm down quickly!

This kind of dangerous situation is not the first time I have experienced it. Don't panic, don't lose your composure, calm down. Think about the protection and teachings of your predecessors, and think about the combat experience you have learned since participating in the three rescue missions.

So the first thing you need to do is learn to identify the situation in front of you.

It is basically impossible for a Spark-level volunteer mission to encounter a situation that can interfere with the savior system, so I should be in some kind of mental abnormality, maybe a hallucination, or maybe a fantasy. Considering my own special abilities, the former is more likely, after all, I first "saw" something abnormal, and then fell into this situation. Well, let's make a judgment first.

Reaching out his hand and touching his pocket, Jianzi took out his cell phone and some personal belongings. However, these items were just the things he usually carried with him, and the really important "things" were not among them.

The things that you carry in your subconscious mind are present on your body, but the special items do not appear with them. It is basically an illusion. After all, the extent to which a simple illusion can be shaped is very limited, and there is no way to replicate the things on your body.

Then the second question is, is the anomaly that I am facing now intentional by the enemy, or is it just that my ability has triggered some automatic mechanism?

There is no way to judge for now, but if it is the former, the other party should take action immediately.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Jianzi stood there without moving, quietly, waiting for about a few minutes.

She did not raise her head to look at the direction of the blurry building she had just seen. Although she did not know what the building was like, it was obvious that as long as she looked at it, it would sense her and take action. Therefore, the girl just lowered her head and stood in the alley for about a few minutes.

Nothing appeared.

After standing there for a while, nothing appeared.

Wasn't he the type that showed up and attacked on his own initiative? Or did he just trigger some special mechanism?

If this is the case, then there are several ways to get out of this mechanism. Phew, it feels really bad to have nothing to save your life on you. It feels like I've returned to the helpless state of the past.

Don't panic.

If you fall into panic, not only will you not be able to play any role in this mission, but you will become a burden instead.

Slowly, he walked out of the alley and onto the street outside.

It was a busy street with a lot of traffic before I came in, but now it has become a shabby street with a lot of dilapidated houses that seem to have been abandoned for many years.

Old newspapers fluttered in the breeze, and the aging wires on the telephone poles that were covered with missing person notices were hanging down and swaying slightly.

The bicycle lying on the side of the road was covered with dust, the ditch in the corner was filled with smelly garbage, and in the window of the clothing store next to her with a big hole in it, a naked mannequin was facing towards Jianzi, as if looking at her.

Jianzi looked around, avoiding the direction of the building he had just seen, took a step forward, and began to move towards a place away from the building.

As long as the hallucination is not too terrifying, one can escape by staying away from a certain [range], or use the huge [stimulation] of being close to death to force oneself to wake up and get rid of the power of the hallucination.

The latter option was still too dangerous for Jianzi, whose physical fitness was not much different from that of an ordinary person. It would be terrible if she really died in the hallucination, so she tried her best to choose the first option, that is, to stay away from the area where the source of the hallucination was, and try to get rid of the hallucination itself in this way.

1 minutes...5 minutes...8 minutes...

Jianzi silently calculated the time he had passed.

Looking around, I saw a road sign that was upside down, several bicycles piled up together, which seemed to have been crashed, and a ditch in the corner that was filled with something unknown and smelled foul. The glass of the clothing store next to me was almost completely shattered, and a naked mannequin stood on the street, facing my direction. In the clothing store, there seemed to be several more mannequins looming in it.

The surrounding environment has changed.

Have you moved forward a certain distance?

No.

Jianzi was sure that this was not the case.

Among the piled up bicycles, there was one that was exactly the same as the one seen at the beginning. The accumulation of the stinking ditch in the corner had changed, but the ditch itself had not changed. As for the clothing store, the name of the store was exactly the same as before.

However, I instinctively felt that I had walked some distance forward and was no longer in the same place.

It is some kind of mental interference, and a very high level of mental interference.

Jianzi was very sure of this, because her own [Spiritual Body] level was C--. It was still unclear why an ordinary human like her could have such an outrageous spiritual body that was close to the planetary vision, but there was no doubt that ordinary people, even the more powerful mental interference, would have no effect on her. However, she almost felt trapped just now, which meant that the power of this illusion might involve the energy operation of the entire planet?

This is a Spark-level mission, which is totally wrong. Vlam-level missions rarely involve things of the scale of planetary energy flow!

Jianzi began to suspect whether this volunteer mission was deliberately created by the Savior System to torment the Saviors.

Regardless, what needs to be done now will not change.

There is no way to escape from this place by simply moving.

I have to think of other ways.

Taking a deep breath, Jianzi put the middle finger of his left hand into his mouth and bit it hard.

The piercing pain began to spread along with the smell of blood. The girl bit off the surface of her finger quickly and let the pain spread. Then she took a step forward and ran, moving faster and faster.

Pain.

When you are trapped in a hallucination, this is a very effective way to stimulate yourself to wake up. Even if you can't wake up immediately, at least you can ensure that your will is clear.

let's move.

The girl took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards the clothing store not far away.

She did not approach the mannequin standing on the street directly, but stopped at a pile of broken glass not far away, bent down, and held a piece of glass in her hand.

Jianzi held it very tightly, until his palms were cut, and until the dark red color flowed down the glass onto the ground.

Holding the glass, the girl took another step forward.

Clothing stores, bicycles, and gutters.

These scenes were receding behind me.

New scenes began to appear around, with an old-fashioned video store appearing on one side of the street, and a pancake shop and a flower shop a little further away on the other side. But like the clothing store before, these shops were also in a dilapidated state.

There seemed to be an old man sitting inside the DVD store smoking. All the DVD covers were scary ghosts, and they all seemed to be looking outside. There was a figure standing at the door of the cinema, who seemed to be a staff member responsible for receiving guests. All the flowers in the flower shop had died, but in the dark environment of the flower shop, there seemed to be a small white flower swaying gently.

It's far worse than the atmosphere in Mr. Kamijou's flower shop.

The girl, who was secretly complaining in her heart, continued to move forward, pretending that she couldn't see these things, and just kept moving forward straight.
