You tell me, this is called daily youth?

"Well, if I'm thrown into prison, it will be difficult to escape. I can't leave my fate in the hands of others." Hayasaka Ai took off her school uniform, revealing her energetic body. She subconsciously glanced at Sakurajima Mai and found that they were equally matched, only in height. Then she stared at the crack in the door.

"But we would have nowhere to hide for long, and the police are well organized and intelligent. If we just run, we will be surrounded very quickly."

Humans are different from zombies. They not only have guns, but also brains. It’s useless no matter how fast they run.

There was no response from outside the door. After two seconds, the door was suddenly opened, and the two men who were buttoning their shirts suddenly turned pale.

Yuki glanced and saw the red and black lace in the gap between the buttons, but his nerves were tense and he switched to the strategy mode. He did not show any emotion when seeing this beautiful scenery.

"Someone is coming, hurry up and leave. I'll explain on the way."

The three of them had been together for less than a day, but it was clear that Yuuki would not joke about serious matters. Hayasaka Ai and Mai quickly buttoned up their clothes and followed the man out of the inner door.

This is the staff passage, with a narrow staircase leading directly to the ground. Three people walked hurriedly under the dim light, and they could even hear the exclamations coming from the lounge.

If discovered, they won't pounce on you directly like zombies, but a phone call will bring about unstoppable firepower.

"Hassaka, have you downloaded the map?" Yuki took a few steps forward, his fingers stroking the hilt of the knife.

Hayasaka Ai didn't say anything, she just raised her cell phone. Although there was no signal, it could be used as a tablet.

"Where are Li Dan and the others?"

"He and Thomas separated and are hiding somewhere at a cross street in the West District with that rich man. Do we want to meet them up?" Sakurajima Mai has been in contact with the outside world.

"Well, he's an old player, and his fighting ability is stronger than ours. Don't hesitate to curry favor with him when the time comes. Keep in touch."

Yuki nodded heavily, but felt a little puzzled as to why these two veteran players only joined forces at the critical moment, and usually acted separately.

Just because they don't like each other? They don't even want to live anymore?

He didn't have time to think about it and asked again: "And what about the thing I asked you to investigate, have you found any clues?"

"I checked online and found an interesting phenomenon. You can see it for yourself." Hayasaka Ai handed over the phone covered with glittering decorations, and there were several screenshots on the screen.

The screenshots were like tourist tips, saying that the castle was most beautiful under the moon. Yu Cheng had a deep understanding of this, as he almost "died" in the beauty of it a few hours ago. However, when he took one look at it, his brows subconsciously knitted.

3月21日，02:00——08:00

3月22日，00:00——08:00

3月23日，22:00（-1天）——08:00

......

It was a very strange astronomical phenomenon, and it really had nothing to do with the Earth. The time of sunrise remained unchanged, but the night was getting longer by two hours every day.

Judging from the bell at midnight in the castle, the player has arrived at the end of March 3st. Now it should be March 21nd. The moon will rise at 3 o'clock tonight and will set at 22 o'clock in the morning on the 23rd.

Yuki was shocked. He had already determined from the extra rewards that three moonrises and three moonsets constituted a day, which had nothing to do with real time.

In other words, if you don't discover this key point, even if you use a max-level account to clear the dungeon, it will only take twelve days, and even a powerful god will fall.

Because twelve days later it will be eternal night, and there will be no chance of escaping until the castle is filled with corpses and blood.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly realized that this game is very insidious. Just relying on strong limbs will lead to a dead end."

Hayasaka Ai nodded. She also realized that it was no wonder that Li Dan and Thomas were willing to gamble. They obviously knew that conventional thinking would not produce good results.

She wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this moment, the sound of leather shoes came from upstairs. Hayasaka Ai's expression tightened and she pulled out the axe in an instant, but her hand was held down by Yuki.

"I come."

The man didn't waste any time and rushed up the stairs, picking up the office chair piled in the corner and climbing up another floor. Just as he turned the corner, he caught a glimpse of a dark blue uniform out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly a person jumped out, and the two policemen wearing octagonal hats and blue uniforms were obviously surprised. Without saying a word, they turned the black muzzles of their guns towards him.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of gunfire echoed in the corridor. Yuki lifted a chair above his head. After strengthening his magic, this thing was harder than iron. Sparks exploded and bullets flew everywhere.

What the hell is this? Why can’t I penetrate it?

The two policemen subconsciously leaned back and turned their wrists, trying to shoot Yuki behind them, but the two sides were already close to each other, and it was too late to turn the guns around.

Boom!

He kneed a policeman hard in the chest, then turned around, swung a chair and knocked another enemy to the ground, then rushed over and hit him on the neck with the handle of a knife. The man rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Hu Hu Hu.

Yuki took a deep breath to calm his racing heart, glanced at the dent on the office chair, and showed an expression as if he had a toothache.

Even if he didn't use his full strength, even if it was just an ordinary office chair, the master-level strengthening magic was enough to make the zombies bite their teeth off, but it was only enough to block the direct fire of the pistol. The inertia made his wrist numb. It turned out that this game was full of illusions.

Do you think the zombies in the castle are deadly?

Yuki raised his head and heard the heavy footsteps above his head, and his eyes twitched.

No, this seemingly normal human society is even more terrible!

Chapter 24 Growth

It goes without saying that firearms have great penetrating power, and the city's armed forces are also quite elite and very hostile.

They pull out their guns and shoot without warning. Aren’t they afraid of hurting innocent people by mistake?

Yuki glanced at the subway uniform he was wearing. A normal person would have hesitated, but if he hadn't prepared the strengthening magic in advance, he would have been shot away with two bullets.

He thought back to the wanted poster. There was no word like "surrender" or "turn yourself in". There was only "shoot to death on the spot".

As expected, one trap follows another. The red moon brings supernatural zombies, and there is no chance to breathe during the day. In a sense, it is even more dangerous.

Yuki understood the nature of this game and there was no chance for him to slack off.

He bent down to pick up the revolver and put it behind his back. Sakurajima Mai and Hayasaka Ai had already caught up and saw two policemen lying on the ground at a glance.

"You didn't kill them?"

"Well, there's no need to kill. Remember hint five?"

【Tip 5: Everyone has the right to bathe in the moonlight.】

Hayasaka Ai thought about it for a moment, not knowing what this meant, while Sakurajima Mai let out a low cry.

"Red Moon City, there is also a Red Moon here!"

"Yes, we can verify it in the evening. It's best not to violate the warning before that." Yuki was very careful and cautious. He raised his head slightly and heard footsteps getting closer and closer, as well as the barking of a police dog. He quickly glanced at the surrounding environment.

There was no corridor, no exit, only abandoned tables, chairs and cabinets in the corner. Running downstairs was a dead end. There must be other teams searching in from somewhere else.

This is already a desperate situation. Even if Li Dan and Thomas were replaced, it would be impossible to withstand the continuous shooting.

"Use your ego characteristics and let's go out first."

The reward she had just obtained was immediately put to use, and it was a seamless transition. Hayasaka Ai snapped her fingers, and two pure white masks appeared to be drawn out of thin air.

"I have no contact with these two people, so I can only simulate their appearance. Also, if I use it this time, I will have to wait another six hours."

"You don't have to die now." Yuki reached out and grabbed it, put it on his face. He himself didn't feel anything, but in Hayasaka Ai's eyes, he had turned into a 200-pound fat white man.

Dignified, professional, the kind who would pull out a gun if he ate too many donuts and saw anything black.

A kind of illusion that changes the opponent's perception, which is more useful than combat skills in this situation.

Yuki didn't have time to comprehend it. He glanced at Mai Sakurajima and put another pistol in her hand: "Run down and make some noise to lure them away."

shot?

Mai had used a prop gun in a TV show before, but this heavy real iron gun was the first time she had used it. However, she couldn't care less at this moment, as the dense footsteps could only reach two floors up.

"Help us quickly and throw them both into the closet, or we'll be dead."

Yuki carried the fat man and stuffed him into the closet. Just as he closed the door, he heard heavy footsteps approaching.

Click.

The sound of pulling the bolt almost made his heart stop, but he had the illusion that these were all friendly forces and there was no trace of fear on his face.

Even if you have never seen it, it will still have some personality of the original body?

He glanced secretly at the dozens of armed policemen, then half-knelt on the ground, pointing his gun at the bottom of the stairs.

"There are three suspects in total, and they are running downstairs!"

After saying this, he looked straight ahead. If he couldn't fool these people, there would be no room for resistance.

Although the two sides were only a few meters apart, the guns were fast and accurate within seven steps.

"One of us, put down your gun."

The deathly silence lasted for a few seconds. The sheriff at the front raised his hand, and with a crackling sound, the black muzzle of the gun was finally moved away.

The sheriff didn't seem to understand the supernatural power, at least the instantaneous transformation was beyond his cognition. He walked down the stairs with a gun in hand and asked in confusion, "Why didn't you two chase them?"

"My partner's gun was taken away by terrorists, so we are waiting for the main force to pick us up." Yuki answered calmly, but he was getting anxious inside.

This Fool Mask had no memories, and he knew nothing about Red Moon City. If he asked a few more questions, he would be exposed. Moreover, there was a dog head under his feet.

The dog, which looked like a German Shepherd with a black back, stuck out its long tongue and stretched its nose towards me. Its wheezing sound was like a death warrant.

As long as he smells someone in the closet and barks a few times, even if he is an iron man, he will turn into a sieve.

The dog didn't smell anything wrong with the smell on them, but he put his head under Yuki's crotch again, as if he was very surprised that there was exactly the same smell in the cabinet.

Hayasaka Ai stared at it intently, Yuuki flexed his fingers holding the gun, ready to take the police chief in front of him as a hostage at any time, but at this moment——

boom!boom!

The dull sound of gunfire came from downstairs, very close away, making people's ears buzz in the enclosed space. The dog opened its mouth and barked wildly, and the sheriff immediately lowered his head and drew his gun.

"The terrorists snatched the police guns and killed anyone they found."

"What about us?"

"You two go back and write your reports."

"Yes."

Yuki felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly retreated to the side, only to see fully armed police officers pouring down in front of him, an endless stream, probably more than dozens of them.

Because the enemy had guns, they were extra cautious. They leaned against the wall, aimed at the corner, and moved down step by step.

"Let's go and wait for Mai upstairs."

"Is she really okay?"

Yuki was stunned for a moment. An ordinary girl had to face heavy siege and anyone who pulled the trigger could take her life.

"She has to overcome any problems. Do you know what the core element of this game is?"

Hayasaka Ai had a tense face and shook her head slightly when she saw the endless stream of police passing by.

"What is it?"

"Growth, growth in strength, growth in mentality, the faster the speed, the higher the chance of survival." Yuki replied. He found that he was becoming more and more relaxed when facing the scene that was like a blockbuster movie just now.

Leaving the underground, you will reach the other side of the square, but it is completely different from the holiday scene when escaping from the castle. The style here has changed to another one.

All I could see were flashing police lights, cordons were set up everywhere, and fully armed police officers were walking around, more than a hundred of them.

Is this necessary? It is indeed a copy, no common sense at all.

No matter how violent Thomas is, he is still holding cold weapons, and Li Dan only has a revolver in his hand. People who don’t know about this scene might think that the players are driving tanks to complete the game.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Yuki glanced at his watch and realized that the sun was blazing brightly and nothing he did could be hidden. But he was not afraid and slowly walked to the police car nearest to the exit. He even reached out to ask the police officer next to him for a cigarette.

This place is very close to the castle, and Yuki even has a sense of "I went in and I came out again".

"There are still five minutes left." Hayasaka Ai reminded from the side.

"Well, wait for her until the end." Yuki knew that Sakurajima Mai's ego characteristics could only last for twenty minutes. If it exceeded this time, it would definitely become a hornet's nest.

While looking at the "scenery", he replayed the life and death moment in his mind.

First of all, Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai's ego characteristics can be effective on any creature in the copy.

Secondly, the creatures in the copy are very hostile and do not give any chance to explain or surrender.

Finally, considering clue five, he didn't dare to kill anyone rashly, as that would lead to uncontrollable consequences.

Another point is that their search speed was too fast. It only took one hour and fifty-five minutes for it to appear in front of us immediately. Could this be linked to Hint 2?
