Then she nodded and answered truthfully.
"As expected of you, Mr. Kaburagi. You have guessed this."
"I can tell you clearly that my true identity is not some fox god."
Shinya Kaburagi continued to speak to Iruma Kei, and his expression did not seem fake.
"is it?"
Although she was surprised by Shinya Kaburagi's answer, Iruma Kei's expression did not change much.
"Want to know my true identity?"
At this moment, Shinya Kaburagi once again showed his signature smile.
Iruma Kei did not answer this time, but the fleeting light in the depths of her eyes had already told Kaburagi Shinya the answer.
"If you want to know my true identity, why not try this game? Maybe you will find the answer."
Since Shinya Kaburagi has said so much, it would be impolite if Kei Iruma refused again.
Besides, she herself is very interested in this game.
So this time, Iruma Kei did not refuse again, but expressed his gratitude to Kaburagi Shinya very seriously.
"Thank you for your gift."
"You're welcome."
Kaburagi Shinya said nonchalantly upon hearing this.
The two then chatted briefly for a while, and Kaburagi Shinya ordered Iruma Kei to leave on the pretext of taking a rest.
On the way back to TPC headquarters from Kaburagi Shinya's residence, Iruma Kei kept thinking about the conversation she had just had with Kaburagi Shinya.
Although she did not get what she wanted to know from Shinya Kaburagi, she did not gain nothing.
Not to mention the priceless gaming helmet, just from the conversation with Kaburagi Shinya, Iruma Kei was able to infer a lot of useful information.
"Kaburaki Shinya himself admitted that he is not the Fox God, and he also said that I am one of the top-ranked captains of the Earth Defense Force that he has ever met."
"Could it be that......"
Iruma Hui had a profound look on his face, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Kaburaki Shinya is from another world?"
While Iruma Kei was thinking about Kaburagi Shinya's background, Kaburagi Shinya was busy preparing a surprise for Iruma Kei.
Out of trust in Iruma Kei's abilities, Shinya Kaburagi did not plan to give her an ordinary gaming helmet, but instead planned to let her enjoy the same treatment as Daiko.
However, the special feature of the Dagu game is mainly reflected in the difficulty of the copy.
And unlike Daiko, Megumi Iruma cannot transform into Ultraman Tiga, so Shinya Kaburagi does not plan to increase the difficulty of the copy, but instead plans to make slight modifications to Megumi Iruma's teammates in the game.
"The name of the defense team in the game should just be Team Mike, and as for the captain, we should follow the original plot and let Mr. Moroboshi Tuan, who loves humanity, take the role. With Mr. Moroboshi Tuan's love for humanity, even if his identity in the game is no longer the human body of Seven, he should be a very good captain."
"As for the vice-captain, let's leave it to Iruma Kei. After all, it's easier when men and women work together. I believe that as the vice-captain, Iruma Kei will be able to get along well with the captain, Moroboshi Dan. As for the team members, Nishijo Nagi is a good choice, and we can add the sharpshooter Yamanaka Ichiro."
Looking at the luxurious lineup he had carefully prepared for Iruma Kei, Kaburagi Shinya couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face.
"Ms. Iruma Kei, I sincerely hope you can have fun."
----------------
Iruma Kei is currently unaware of the surprise that Kaburaki Shinya has prepared for her.
Although the gaming helmet was successfully delivered to Iruma Hui's room the day after the two met, Iruma Hui had no intention of playing games at the moment.
According to reports from residents near Hikino Street, the legend of Obik has suddenly emerged in their area recently.
At first, the residents did not pay much attention to this legend, thinking it was just another prank by some bored people.
But with the appearance of the first victim, everyone suddenly became extremely terrified.
The first victim was a young man who was attacked in the mountains near Hikino Street. The last words the victim said before he passed out were "I saw Obike."
The victim is still in a coma, his hair and face have turned extremely pale, and he is now receiving treatment at TPC Hospital.
Chapter 136: Obik: I really can’t tell the difference
Although rumors about Obik's appearance had spread on Hikino Street a few months ago, they were not taken seriously by the Victory Team.
After all, the legend of Obike is not only spread in Hikino Street, but also widely known in other parts of Japan. The older generation often teaches children that if Obike suddenly appears behind you in the dark night and invites you to play with him, you must not look back at this time, because if you look back, Obike will eat you.
Although this rumor is terrifying, and even just the name of Obike is enough to make a child stop crying, it is ultimately just a rumor.
It is true that the Victory Team specializes in investigating such special events, but the Victory Team has too many things to deal with every day. If it is just a rumor, it will not attract much attention from the Victory Team.
The situation changed after the first victim of Obik's attack appeared.
Because Obike is very likely not a rumor, but a real monster. In order to prevent more residents from being harmed by Obike, the Victory Team immediately paid great attention to the matter and sacrificed their rest time to patrol Yanye Street at night.
As they set out for Hikino Street, in the deep mountains near Hikino Street, Obik reluctantly took off his gaming helmet.
“Were you forced offline again?”
A black object suddenly appeared beside Obik. Its entire body seemed to be a ball of darkness, somewhere between reality and falsehood.
This black object is Obik's shadow and also Obik's partner.
"Yes."
Obik nodded when he heard this, a trace of disappointment appearing on his face.
"After all, I can only stay online for twelve hours a day. When the time comes, I will be kicked off by the game's health system? They say it's for my health. That's really funny. I'm a monster. I can play games forever without eating or drinking. It's no problem."
But soon Obike cheered up and smiled at his old friend.
"But it's good this way. During the day I can hide in the dark cave and play games, and at night I can go and scare the residents near Hikino Street to prevent them from destroying the old village."
"But I heard that the Victory Team will be here soon."
Shadow said to Obik worriedly.
Obik was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled and said to Shadow.
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of them. If they dare to come, I will scare them away."
The shadow then fell silent.
After a while, it continued to ask.
"Is what we are doing really meaningful? No matter how hard we try, traces of the old village are still slowly disappearing. I heard from nearby villagers that the excavators will come here in a few days, and by then I'm afraid the whole mountain will be hollowed out."
“It’s just like a nightmare.”
Obike sighed deeply.
"How about we just give up?"
Shadow suggested to Obik. Although it had been cooperating with Obik's actions, to be honest, it really couldn't see any hope.
"Anyway, you still have the game. In that nearly realistic game world, the old village is still there, and it can never be changed."
Hearing what Shadow said, Obik couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"My friend, no matter how real the game is, it is still just a game."
But then he laughed at himself.
"But as time goes by, the difference between the game and reality is getting harder and harder to distinguish. Sometimes I really can't tell the difference, not at all. Now I even feel that the world in the game is real, and reality is more like a nightmare. Do you understand this feeling?"
"In fact, you can also treat the game as reality, and reality as a nightmare."
Shadow continued.
Obike just smiled at this.
"In fact, you should understand that the village in the past is not just the village itself, but also the familiar faces in the village. The game can restore the village in its entirety, but those who have disappeared will never come back."
Shadow fell into complete silence upon hearing this.
As an old friend of Obike, no one knows Obike better than it. In fact, Obike has been called Obike since modern times. A long time ago, people used to call him Master Ayan affectionately.
In fact, Shadow also understood that what Obik liked was not just the village itself, but also the familiar people living there.
"Old friend."
At this moment, Obik spoke again.
“It’s time for us to come to terms with reality.”
Shadow raised his head when he heard this, looked at the extremely serious expression on Obik's face, and finally answered Obik.
"it is good."
------------------
When the Victory Team drove the Sherlock car to Hikino Street, it was already evening.
"Now according to the original plan, each person is responsible for patrolling an area and keeping communication open at all times. If you find anything unusual, report it immediately. After the patrol, we will gather here."
Vice Captain Zong Fang looked at the team members in front of him and spoke to them with a serious expression.
"clear!!!"
Upon hearing Deputy Captain Zongfang's order, everyone nodded immediately, then separated and prepared to patrol the areas they were responsible for.
However, at this moment, Deputy Captain Zongfang suddenly discovered that Xincheng was not in a hurry to patrol, but stayed where he was, looking timid.
This made Vice Captain Zongfang feel a little surprised. You know, Xincheng is the bravest person in the Victory Team. No matter what dangerous mission he encounters, he is always the first one to go.
Now he actually noticed a hint of fear on Xincheng's face, which shocked Vice Captain Zongfang.
"Xincheng, are you worried about something?"
Hearing Vice Captain Zongfang's question, Xincheng immediately came to his senses and gave Vice Captain Zongfang an awkward smile.
"No, why would I be worried?"
Then, without waiting for Vice Captain Zongfang to reply, Xincheng gritted his teeth and headed towards the depths of darkness.
"Deputy Captain, I'm going to go on patrol first."
Looking at Shinjo's leaving back, Vice Captain Zongfang couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression on his face.
In fact, Vice Captain Zongfang’s judgment was correct. Xincheng was indeed a little scared at this time.
Because Shinjo is afraid of ghosts, he is the only one who knows about this matter. The other members of the Victory Team and even his sister Mayumi do not know about this.
After all, if other people knew that Tetsuo Shinjo, a member of the Victory Team and a man of integrity, was actually afraid of ghosts, wouldn't he lose face if this got out?
Chapter 137: Why is Xincheng’s in-game identity set to Chief of Staff?
"I'm not afraid at all, actually."
Xincheng comforted himself in this way as he walked alone on the dark street.
Since there have been rumors of Obik's presence in Hikino Street recently, the vendors nearby have long chosen to close their stalls and go home when the sun is about to set. When night falls completely, there is no trace of people on the huge Hikino Street, and there is a dead silence within a few kilometers.
Looking at the dark and empty alley, Xincheng's heart was in his throat. He was in a complicated mood. He hoped to find Obike and kill him completely. At the same time, he was afraid that Obike would suddenly emerge from the darkness and eat him.
As Xincheng was walking in the alley uncomfortably, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the front. In addition to the footsteps, Xincheng even heard a special cry. The cry was very sharp and buzzing, like it was made by an insect.
"Is Obike here?"
Xincheng thought so immediately when he saw this.
"Is Obik a bug demon?"
Just as Xincheng was daydreaming, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was a scarlet light, like a will-o'-the-wisp in the dark night, constantly approaching the new city.
"who is it?"
Seeing this, Xincheng quickly took out his Victory H-Pistol, suppressed the fear in his heart, and shouted loudly at the "ghost fire" in front of him.
Hearing Xincheng’s shout, the “ghost fire” in front of him suddenly stopped.
Then the strong light from the flashlight immediately shone on Xincheng's face.
As a strong light came, Xincheng subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.
But soon he heard a voice that was not unfamiliar.
"Is he a member of the New Town team of the Victory Team?"
