You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Yuuki's eyes twitched wildly, Hayasaka tightened her grip on Kaguya's hand, and Hiyori and Mai instinctively moved closer to Yuuki, all of them stunned.

What a crazy city! Is it necessary to be so violent just because of a traffic accident?

Whether it is the perpetrators or the onlookers, they completely subvert common sense, not to mention the law. Is there any morality in this?

"Not only does it subvert common sense, these people are also quite powerful. Two random drivers can actually use their bodies to make holes in the concrete floor." Yuki observed more carefully, watching the whole process. These two drivers are not only strong, but their fighting skills are also above average.

"With physical fitness above the extreme level, no wonder there are no newcomers." Hiyori turned her face to the side. She was not used to such bloody scenes.

I'm afraid that a few random passers-by can beat up a new player. Being strong is secondary. The key is that this goes against common sense. They can beat people to death over a small quarrel.

"Not only was there no security, but judging by the expressions of the onlookers, this kind of thing is a daily occurrence."

Shinomiya Kaguya also had a dark face, and suddenly missed the hospitable Yaduo Town. At least the people there were polite on the surface.

It was indeed a daily routine. The smashed vehicle was quickly thrown to the side of the road, and then Huangmao's body was thrown into a black car. The crowd dispersed and the busy scene just returned.

Yuuki noticed Abbate greeting the driver of the black car, while Hiyori looked more closely and saw a golden skull on the car's windshield.

"It seems the cult isn't just targeting players, but the guardians of order in this city?"

"How can he maintain order? He can only be called a manager." Yuki answered casually, and then saw Abate come back with the same impatient look.

"Let's keep going. Oops, I was so engrossed in watching that I wasted time."

"That..." Yuki complained from somewhere, "You should at least say something."

"It's normal, don't take it to heart. This city has a basic rule, follow it and you'll have a good life."

"May I ask what the rules are?"

"If someone provokes you..." Abate was speaking when a passerby bumped his shoulder. He shut his mouth, grabbed the man's head and slammed it against the wall next to him.

boom!

Dust filled the air, the wall collapsed, and the man's head exploded, splashing liquid everywhere, dyeing the passers-by around him red.

Throwing away the remains, he raised his hand to wipe off the red and white liquid on his straight black suit, and looked at Yuki and the others who were stunned.

"Just kill him."

......

It’s confirmed that this place called Bloodlight City is a crazy city.

Unlike Atuo Town, Yucheng is just a simple story where you follow the characters in the story and wander around the city. You don’t need to disguise yourself at all. Then, as you watch the whole story, your mind is in a mess and there are only a few key words.

Chaos, fighting, death.

This city is huge, even comparable to Tokyo in terms of area, but there are no entertainment facilities such as parks and playgrounds. There are only huge and oval death arenas, from which cheers burst out.

Then there are all kinds of fights, including traffic accidents, quarrels, and even people who just dislike you and then fight to the death.

There are almost no elderly people or children, and the proportion of women is extremely low. Looking around, there are only muscular men, except that no one has a Mohawk. It feels like you have come to the set of Fist of the North Star.

Everyone here is furious, like a moving powder keg that will explode on the spot at the slightest spark, and the fight will continue until death.

Even if their spines are broken, they will ignite a bright red blood flame and will never give up or surrender. Even if it means killing their opponents, they will burn themselves out.

Finally, don’t expect fairness, don’t desire protection from others. It is natural for the strong to kill the weak.

Rational and calm are the most insulting words here because they represent cowardice and escape.

Abate had already left. He had only taken Yuuki and the others on a tour of the city before bringing them back to the original lounge. However, a lot of information could be obtained just by observing with the naked eye.

"It's the absolute law of the jungle. No, this is a forest of reinforced concrete where everyone is a beast." Hiyori spoke in a literary manner. Seeing such an absurd world, she was really inspired.

If she didn't know that the copy couldn't be deduced by common sense, she would still have to think about logical issues such as how to replenish the consumed population and where the food would come from.

"I always feel a sense of déjà vu of Khorne, but it's not quite accurate." Yuuki rubbed his chin. The dungeons he experienced all had a sense of déjà vu, but they were not exactly the same.

Bloodthirsty Red Moon is like a combination of Resident Evil and Left 4 Dead, Demon Hospital has some shadows of Silent Hill, and the intoxicating desire of The Conspirators is very similar to Slaanesh.

"What is Khorne?"

Yuki didn't know how to explain it, and hesitated, "Uh, they're just a group of people obsessed with fighting and blood. No, they're not really human anymore."

Hiyori still didn't understand. Some of Yuuki's ideas were beyond the scope of observation, but they sounded a little bad, at least they were very unfamiliar to them who came from modern society.

Even if you become a player, you still have to fight for profit. Unlike the people here, they are not afraid at all.

"Hey, the seniors are back."

After the 'visit' ended, Yuuki immediately sent out Mai and Hayasaka Ai. One activated her special ability to follow Abate, and the other disguised herself as a passerby to conduct reconnaissance. Hayasaka Ai then looked a little embarrassed.

"Hayasaka, are you okay?" Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been in a daze, immediately walked over.

"We encountered some trouble, but it's been resolved." Hayasaka, enjoying the attention, walked straight to Yuuki. "As you said, the people here will start a war over the smallest things, and they also have an extremely accurate intuition."

She specifically conducted an experiment and found that once the fight started, even if she used the Fool's Mask to transform into another person, she would still be exposed.

"I went from being a man to a woman and finally a child, and not only did they have no sympathy, they always found me."

"How do you find it?"

"I hid, disguised myself, and ran away. I tried all kinds of methods, but I couldn't get away." Hayasaka Ai had a strange look on her face. Although she was not good at hiding, she was not someone that ordinary people could find.

"Including levitation?" Yuki turned his head instantly.

"Yeah, including the flying boots that floated in the air, those people were chasing me from below, showing no sign of giving up." The girl's expression became even more strange, and she said seriously, "Hidden skills seem to be useless here? Assassin players are going to suffer."

It is impossible to hide, let alone the cult, even ordinary passers-by are very strong in close combat, it would be strange if they don't suffer.

Shinomiya Kaguya immediately glanced at Yuuki. She still remembered the scene in Yaduo Town when this guy was killing people everywhere under the cover of night.

Bad news, but something is wrong?

Based on Yuuki's experience, the reincarnation game will not destroy players of any style. Just like Shiina Hiyori, it is very easy to destroy her if you want to. Just arrange all the battles and you'll be done.

"Haysaka-san, are you doing this after the battle starts?" Hiyori suddenly asked.

"Yes."

"Did you get attacked on the way to avoid it?"

"That's not the case." Hayasaka Ai thought for a moment and said affirmatively: "Except for those who fight with me, others will only watch."

"It seems that it has nothing to do with hidden skills, but is more like combat binding?" Yuki nodded, which was barely good news.

This proved that at least they would not be besieged by an entire street. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that with Abate leading the way, no fighting had broken out on the road. Of course, his killing of others did not count.

Do members of the Order have the privilege of avoiding combat? Indeed, given the customs here, fighting could break out at any moment, so there's no question of administrative responsibility.

Yuuki didn't disturb Hiyori's contemplation and turned his gaze to Mai: "Senior, how are you doing over there?"

The latter just enabled the feature, directly stripping away the sense of presence and tracking Abarth.

"Abbate went to the black windowless building with a golden skull at the door. That should be the headquarters of the cult."

"Then what?" Yuki was a little anxious. The cult was definitely the key target.

"Then I didn't dare follow him in. The door was only open a crack. When I got closer, I felt like the guard inside was staring at me vaguely." The senior student looked away embarrassedly.

Ah, that's it.

Everyone was a little disappointed, but no one blamed the senior sister for being timid. They had just entered the dungeon and it was not time to take risks yet.

"If I had known earlier, I would have covered you, sniped from a distance, and led the guards away." Kaguya Shinomiya sighed. She wanted to follow but was stopped by Yuki, wasting several hours in vain.

"Do you think I'm too slow?"

"No, I just feel bad." Kaguya glanced to the side and muttered, "The guards will only come after me, so she can go in smoothly."

It would be strange not to.

Yuuki glanced at her and felt something was a little strange. He was thinking in this direction...

"It's hint number four. Yes, the intelligence we gathered points to hint number four."

A soft and slightly excited voice was heard, and everyone turned around to see Shiina Hiyori with a glimmer in her eyes.

She has been activating her special features and using her extraordinary skills to repeatedly deduce information, making her thinking faster than anyone else.

Tip 4: Deathmatch is sacred, untouchable, and inescapable.

The message automatically flashed through Yuuki's mind, and he was looking forward to the girl's explanation, but Hiyori did not rush to answer.

"Hayasaka-san, have you activated the multi-dimensional battle?"

"It's on."

"Hayasaka!" Yuki's voice suddenly became stern. For safety reasons, he specifically reminded them not to initiate a fight.

The blonde girl acted as if she hadn't heard anything and just stared at Hiyori. "That's what I find most strange. Two enemies were chasing me, yet they fought me one after another."

Huh? That's ridiculous?

No one reacted. According to common sense, the chances of winning would be higher if everyone rushed in. Could it be that the people here have mysophobia?

Yuuki also forgot about settling accounts with Hayasaka, and suddenly realized that this was related to the hint.

Unable to intervene? Also, unsupportable? Difficult to escape, so they're entangled?

Everything you saw and heard today unfolded in your mind one by one, and then you analyzed hint four word by word and deduced it in reverse.

Yuki's eyes lit up, and he caught the fleeting inspiration. He looked at the open door, the strange buildings, and the busy streets, muttering to himself:

"Is this city just a giant death arena?"

Chapter 6: On Stage (K)

This was definitely key information, and even made Yuki feel a little lucky.

The reason why Kaguya Shinomiya was not sent to provide cover was simply because she was too weak in close combat. If she accidentally stepped on someone's foot on the road, it would be difficult to say whether she could survive a close combat.

But as Hiyori analyzed, it is different when combined with tip 4.

[Hint 4: Deathmatch is sacred, untouchable, and inescapable]

I thought the reincarnation game had changed, but it turned out to be still as sinister as ever.

If this "death fight" does not refer to those death fighting arenas, but the entire city in a broad sense, then what we saw along the way was not road rage at all, but a series of sacred death fights.

No wonder no one tried to stop the fight. They beat the other party to death, and the other party exploded on the spot after losing the ability to resist.

This phenomenon has gone far beyond the scope of 'anger'.

"But even if it's a rule, this is too absurd."

The previous rules only prohibited the characters from doing anything, but never required them to do something. Upon closer observation, these citizens did not seem like ordinary humans.

It's an absurd stage play, and in this case, how can we gather intelligence from the city?

Even walking in this damn place would involve the risk of fighting. Once the battle started, you would be bitten to death. Just take today's "tour" as an example. Without Abate leading the way, so many meaningless battles would have occurred.

"There's no way to conduct simultaneous investigations. Do we really have to fight our way through the entire quest like we did in the main storyline?"

Yuki sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and stared at the skull on the wall in a daze.

The rest of the people had no intention of disturbing them and dispersed. The lounge was very large and even without beds, it could easily accommodate more than ten or twenty people.

No one was chatting. After entering the dungeon, everyone quickly got into the state and switched their personality to the player side.

Games are games, reality is reality. This is what Yuuki has always advocated. You can laugh as much as you want when having a barbecue party with the diving club, but you have to be focused and serious when entering a dungeon.

Kaguya found a corner, constantly pulling and releasing the bowstring, trying to familiarize herself with the upgraded longbow. Hayasaka Ai sat upright in a chair, her fingers moving unconsciously, summarizing the battle she had just encountered.

The senior student took out food from the storage space and handed it to everyone one by one, concentrating on the team's logistics.

Hiyori stood at the door, activating features and skills, carefully observing the flashing large screens, and occasionally taking a few photos.

With everyone doing their job, this makeshift team is becoming more and more professional. As the core of the team, Yuki can focus all his energy on making judgments.

"Since this is a plot mission, we must follow the plot and not be too impatient."

After half an hour, Yuuki looked away and made up his mind.

From observation, he can choose to disappear from the world, jump out of the plot, and find the secret in his own way, but doing so is very risky, at least for now his understanding of this copy is not deep enough.

"Then let's just wait for Abate to come?" Mai handed over a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap.

Yuki thanked him, raised his head, and took a sip to moisten his throat. "We need to find a way to progress both main quests simultaneously. We can't just sit around and wait. This is a combat-focused dungeon, so we need to be prepared."

"Also, try not to get into conflict with the citizens. Since their battles can't be interfered with, this should also apply to the players."

"But we still have to verify the conjecture, this is very important." Mai shook her head. Hint 4 can be said to be the core of the entire copy and determines the battle plan.
