Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

It seemed that in his subconscious mind, this place that could not be explained by modern science should have existed there.

If he hadn't suddenly seen this scene when he was looking for bricks just now, he would not have realized that there was anything wrong with it. This is the part that really makes people feel cold.

"I'm saying that this resistant skin, in a sense, isn't all good."

After thinking for a long time with his head down and covering his forehead, Shirasaka finally started to complain about himself.

With the previous experience from Wu Lu Yu Yi, Shirasaka quickly found the reason why he had such a feeling. In the final analysis, it was due to the effect of the resistant skin's immunity to negative skills.

Many things do not exist, but there is some kind of power that affects ordinary people and makes them unable to perceive them.

——This is a common setting in many fantasy worlds, but Shirasaka never thought that the world he lives in is actually such a world.

It seems that I thought this was just an ordinary world before, simply because I was too weak to perceive these things at all.

It is often said that ignorance is bliss. In fact, this statement is not without reason. If you don’t understand anything, there is naturally no reason to contact it, and there will be fewer dangers caused by it.

"But now that I've realized this, it's not so easy to pretend I'm completely unaware."

With a long sigh as if accepting his fate, Shirasaka glanced at the alley not far away from him. If he turned back at this moment, he would lie down on the bed and fall asleep, and this beautiful day would probably be over.

There is no need to worry about any dangers in this alley, nor to worry about encountering any crisis. Just sleep like usual, and tomorrow will be another peaceful day.

But... Shirasaka couldn't deceive himself. The curiosity and desire to explore that came from his instinct were like a little claw teasing his heart, urging him to make a choice.

"If I go, I might regret it for one night, but if I don't go, I'll probably regret it for the rest of my life."

After taking a deep breath, Shirasaka quickly made up his mind. Danger often means giving up. As a time traveler, if he really doesn't dare to do this or that, then there is really no point in living.

Although he is realistic, it does not mean that he has no desires of his own.

After a few steps, they arrived in front of the alley. Shirasaka frowned and with the faint moonlight above his head, he could see a little more clearly the interior of the alley shrouded in gray light.

It was as if there was an invisible film separating the entrance of the alley, preventing the gray light from penetrating out. Standing outside and looking inside, one could only vaguely see a bottomless road.

But if you observe carefully, you can find that the most strange thing is that the colors of all the objects inside seem to have been erased. The black and gray colors that symbolize ominousness and danger cover the entire space, making the interior seem to be shrouded in death.

"I always feel like this is a bit of a déjà vu thing."

Shirasaka raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and then decisively walked into the alley.

The moment he stepped into the alley, Shirasaka felt as if he had passed through a thin film like water. Then, he felt the temperature around him suddenly drop, and a chill enveloped him from all directions, as if trying to repel him.

But soon, this feeling faded away with a start from Shirasaka, and he finally entered this gray alley from the outside world.

The temperature around showed no sign of warming up, and the environment was still as gray and black as a photo negative. Shirasaka was like a bug that was forced in, and there was a sense of incompatibility with the surroundings everywhere.

“It feels quite strange.”

Shirasaka touched the wall next to him, and it was no different from a normal wall. He had thought that the gray light here would have some effect on him, but now it seemed that it was not that bad.

It can be said that apart from feeling a little cold, he did not feel any difference from the real world in other aspects.

Of course, it is also possible that this negative effect is ignored by one's own resistant skin.

However, as Shirasaka completely adapted to the temperature change, he finally noticed the difference between the inside and the outside. For example, the bright red red spider lily that had grown in the corner of the wall at some point in time, like an illusory shadow, added a touch of strange color to this monotonous world.

Shirasaka was very sure that he didn't see these things at all when he was outside, which means that only by going inside could he observe these strange flowers.

After squatting down and touching the petals of the red spider lilies and finding that his fingers could easily pass through them, Shirasaka was certain that these were just insubstantial shadows whose only function was probably to create a terrifying atmosphere for the world.

"What a shame! They're quite pretty. I was wondering if I could transplant them out and sell them for a few thousand yuan each. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Although he felt regretful, Shirasaka did not forget that he was in a place that looked weird no matter how he looked at it, so he quickly looked around vigilantly and began to scout the nearby environment.

The surroundings were eerily quiet. The gray light seemed to have not only changed the environment here, but also cut off the connection between this place and reality. The chirping of insects and the sound of cars on the road not far away that Baisaka could vaguely hear seemed to be blocked and could no longer be heard.

Apart from the death-like silence, the only sounds Shirasaka could hear here were his own breathing and heartbeat.

This was not something to be happy about. Shirasaka frowned, but still moved his feet and walked deeper into the alley.

As the saying goes, since you have come here, it would be a shame to return empty-handed. It would be a shame to muster up the courage he has finally mustered.

The reason why the alley is called an alley is naturally because it is not a very long structure. Baisaka only walked a distance inside and soon came to a corner completely shrouded in darkness.

A sound like a beast gnawing on bones came from deep in the corner, which was particularly harsh in this already very quiet alley. Combined with the darkness where even the moonlight could not shine in, it made people's hair stand on end.

But Shirasaka's complexion actually improved a lot. Perhaps it was because he had died once, or because he was born in a trash can in the backyard of the hospital when he was reincarnated. He had already adapted to the darkness. As for this terrifying atmosphere, it had no lethality to him, a otaku who had mastered all kinds of horror games in his previous life.

What really scares people is always the unknown. Once this thing moves, the oppressive feeling it brings will naturally subside.

Looking towards the source of the sound out of curiosity, Shirasaka quickly found the source of the strange sound in the darkness.

The eyes that still emitted scarlet light in the darkness appeared particularly obvious in this environment. With the help of the red light emitted from its eyes and the faint light brought by the red spider lily beside it, Shirasaka was finally able to see its full appearance clearly.

It was a humanoid monster the size of a child. The reason why it was not called a human was mainly because of its skinny body that looked like a skeleton covered with a layer of human skin, and the hideous bald head as big as a watermelon that suddenly grew on this body. It did not look like a normal human being at all.

As for its big mouth covered with blood, without lips, and full of sharp teeth, and its abnormally bulging belly as if it was pregnant, they no longer seemed so important in front of the pair of scarlet eyeballs like light bulbs.

In this regard, Shirasaka had only one comment: the poet's grip.

Where did that chewing and gnawing sound come from? Shirasaka now got the answer he needed. After all, the thing in front of him had not swallowed the half-mouse corpse in its mouth yet. Instead, it seemed to be tasting it, chewing and gnawing in its mouth continuously.

But at this moment, its meal seemed to be disturbed by Shirasaka's appearance. The half of the mouse it was chewing fell from its mouth. Its scarlet eyeballs, which seemed to be about to burst out of its eyeballs in the next second, looked towards Shirasaka at the corner with a greedy look.

"Sorry, did I disturb your meal?"

Scratching his head, Shirasaka wanted to complain that the other person's habit of eating raw mice was somewhat unhygienic, but when he thought that this guy might not even be considered a human being and it was his freedom to eat whatever he wanted, he could only smile awkwardly.

However, the unknown big-headed monster obviously would not let Baisaka go so easily. A fierce light flashed in its scarlet eyes, and then it used its hands and feet to crawl on the ground like a wild beast, approaching Baisaka.

Although the monster's body was skinny, its speed was much faster than it looked. In just a blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Shirasaka. Without giving him any time to react, it opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth towards Shirasaka's calf and bit it hard.

Just as its blood-stained teeth were about to touch Shirasaka's calf, a red brick suddenly appeared in front of it as if out of thin air, blocking its open mouth and halting its attack.

This was not the end. Just as it was stunned for a moment, another brick appeared out of thin air, and its sharp edge hit its swollen head directly, colliding with it almost in an instant.

After a crisp sound like opening a watermelon, the big-headed monster, which had just been as ferocious as a wild beast, fell powerlessly in front of Shirasaka. Most of the brick on its head was already embedded in its skull, and black and smelly liquid spurted out of the wound like a fountain.

Fortunately, Shirasaka, the culprit who caused all this, seemed to have anticipated this scene and had already retreated to the side, so he didn't end up being covered in these things.

"That's really unfriendly. Can't even communicate with me?"

Shirasaka, who had lost two bricks in an instant, let out a long breath. From the moment the monster rushed towards him, Shirasaka knew that there was probably no possibility of communication.

He was not naive enough to think that the other person rushed towards him with his teeth bared just to give him a hug of love.

But the speed of this thing was still a little beyond his expectations. If Shirasaka was still the ordinary person with all attributes set to 1, he would probably not even be able to react before being knocked to the ground by this thing.

As for the power of this thing, Shirasaka didn't test it, but judging from the strength with which it could even break bricks, it was probably not something that an ordinary person could handle.

If it weren't for the significant improvement in his physical fitness after the upgrade, it would definitely not be so easy for Shirasaka to deal with the opponent so easily. He also realized that physical fitness twice that of an ordinary person might not really mean much in this world. After all, the thing hidden in such an alley almost bit him. Who knows what else is hidden in the corners of this world?

Shaking his head helplessly, Baisaka sighed regretfully. He was afraid that his idea of relying on the panel to become a dragon Aotian would be strangled in the cradle.

With a look of disgust, Shirasaka approached the monster that was still struggling to attack him even though half of its head was smashed by a brick. He looked at it carefully and after confirming that this thing was definitely not something that could exist in real life, he decisively took out another brick from his backpack.

He smashed it accurately and powerfully at the remaining half of the monster's head, and Shirasaka got what he wanted. He saw his experience bar suddenly increase by a full 100 points.

——So you really have to kill monsters to gain experience?

What surprised Shirasaka even more was that as the monster died completely, it quickly melted into a pool of black slime and sank into the ground. At the same time, the gold coin column on his panel actually jumped to a value of +5.

Very good, the question is, how do I withdraw cash from this thing?

Chapter 22: This name is also a talent

As the monster died completely, the space around it, which was originally shrouded in gray light, seemed to have lost some kind of support and quickly shrank inward until it returned to its normal appearance.

"This sense of déjà vu is getting stronger and stronger. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Shirasaka half-closed his eyes. Judging from the performance, the gray light seemed to come from some kind of field generated by this monster. After losing the support of the monster as the main body, it would directly return to its original state.

This also means that if I want to gain experience in the future, I just need to find a similar area?

Shirasaka's eyes lit up when he thought of this. After the first experience, the rest of the things would be much easier to solve. At least he knew what target to look for if he wanted to upgrade in the future, right?

Shirasaka is not afraid of killing people, but he has no interest in it either. If possible, he would try his best not to be responsible for human lives.

But monsters are completely different. Shirasaka doesn't feel any guilt about killing these things. Anything that can grow into this shape can't be a good person.

He was just trying to get rid of a nuisance for the people, and people would have to thank him if they found out.

I no longer think about where the strange sense of déjà vu came from. I will remember it when the time comes. For now, I should just have some champagne and celebrate that I have finally found a way to upgrade.

It's a pity that I just found some bricks. I just got them and they're not even warm yet, but I've already lost three of them. I really need to look for any construction sites nearby. It's necessary to replenish ammunition.

Glancing at the brick on the ground that had been stained beyond recognition by the monster's filthy blood, Shirasaka felt that the thing was somewhat enchanted with poisonous properties, but he still couldn't suppress his nausea and put it away. He could only sigh regretfully and then walked out of the alley.

However, when he reached the entrance of the alley, a figure suddenly blocked his way, and he almost thought that he had triggered some kind of continuous battle level.

Fortunately, with the help of moonlight, Shirasaka could clearly see the figure blocking his way. At least it looked like a human being, not like the monster before. Just one look at it made him unable to eat for the whole night.

"...Is this some new cosplay character?"

Squinting his eyes, Shirasaka looked up and down at the guy who was wearing a black ninja outfit, revealing a pair of thighs in fishnet stockings, and his face was mostly covered with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of azure eyes exposed. Finally, he uttered a complaint.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this guy's chest was obviously not as exaggerated as Asano Chiya's, Shirasaka would have thought that this guy had cosplayed some character on a whim.

Although it seems normal to see a ninja in Neon, the background is clearly modern. Don’t you feel ashamed to dress like this?

"Where's the stuff inside?"

But obviously, the guy who was blocking his way didn't want to respond to Shirasaka's complaints. He just glanced at the alley behind Shirasaka, which had returned to normal, with a puzzled look, and started to question him.

"What? Isn't this just an alley? I don't know what you're talking about."

Shirasaka shrugged his shoulders. He knew that she was definitely asking about the monster that had been hiding in this alley before, but at this time, playing dumb could actually help him get more information out of her.

Just by looking at the other party's posture, Shirasaka knew that this was most likely the kind of person responsible for managing and dealing with those monsters. It made sense. If there were no professional personnel to deal with these things, given the dangerousness of these things, it would be impossible for humans to develop peacefully to the current state.

I just don't know the strength of these guys, and why they allow these things to hide in such a close distance to humans without getting rid of them. Shirasaka has a very clear memory. This alley has existed here for at least several years.

"...I don't know how you managed to get rid of the hungry ghosts in the darkness, but next time you do this, remember to register with the nearby Anti-Demon Ninja Association first. Otherwise, if the monsters there escape, it will be very troublesome."

The girl, who was obviously a young girl, frowned under the black cloth. The information contained in her words made Shirasaka's brain freeze for two seconds.

Wait a minute, did he hear the term "Chang'an" from this guy? No wonder he said that this thing looked so familiar to him before. So this is the background, right?

As for the name of the monster called Hungry Ghost, Shirasaka could only say that it completely matched its image in the game, but considering that this thing was only a minion-level thing, it was normal that he couldn't remember it.

——But it seems normal for Japan to have some monsters. After all, it is a country that claims to have 8 million gods, but in fact 79.99 million gods can be summarized as monsters. There seems to be nothing wrong with coming up with some of these things.

But with this setting, Shirasaka could only say that it somewhat overlapped with the games he had played.

Compared to these two, Shirasaka didn't even have the desire to complain about the "Anti-Demon Ninja" thing that came out of the guy in front of her.

All I can say is that the person who came up with this name is quite talented. In addition, the other party's outfit is concealed but also has a bit of interest. Shirasaka can figure out the prototype with just a little guessing.

I hope this is just a coincidence. Otherwise, Shirasaka can only say that the girls in this organization had better fend for themselves. Considering the current background of so many monsters, Shirasaka doesn't know how miserable their end will be.

Perhaps thinking of something that didn't fit the age rating of the book, Shirasaka looked at the guy in front of him with a hint of pity.

Although Shirasaka wanted to say that it was not good to define a person's gender casually, there was a clear bulge in the chest, coupled with the slender thighs wrapped in fishnet stockings, and the purple ponytail that hung down to the waist.

Excluding the possibility that the other party is a super cross-dresser, Shirasaka can only assume that she must be a female creature.

"...That's all. Goodbye."

It seemed that she just came to give Shirasaka a warning, or she just came to scout out what happened here. In short, the conflict that Shirasaka originally thought of did not happen. The figure blocking Shirasaka had already said goodbye to him, and then threw a very handsome smoke bomb at her feet.

When the smoke cleared, the person who had just been standing at the entrance of the alley had disappeared, leaving only Shirasaka standing there with a confused look on his face.

But then, Shirasaka glanced at the corner inconspicuously, and his expression became even more subtle.

He thought the other party's exit was very cool, but the prerequisite was that the small map below him didn't show that she was actually hiding under the manhole cover nearby...

How to say it, it is consistent with his understanding of ninjutsu.

Chapter 23 What went wrong?

With a pensive look on his face, Shirasaka returned to his rented apartment. After washing up casually, he lay down on the bed.

This day was more exciting than the previous ones. All kinds of messy and even supernatural things appeared one after another. It was hard to imagine that just two days ago, I was just an ordinary high school student who only knew how to kill fish.

But Shirasaka had to admit that this was the life he had been looking forward to in his heart. Exploring the unknown was always the most exciting thing.

"It's a pity that I didn't get the contact information of that guy just now. Otherwise, I might not have to spend time looking for those so-called dark spaces and monsters in the future."

Shirasaka pinched his chin, slapped his forehead belatedly, and muttered to himself with some regret.
