Chapter 9 [Achievement 1] [Death that No One Cares About]...
After tuning the guitar and bass back half a tone out of tune and listening to the music playing again, Hasegawa Yu finally felt comfortable.
He can accept humans singing out of tune, but how can musical instruments be out of tune!
There was silence in the headset. The orange-haired young man took it off, put it away, and left the bar.
"You don't see many taxis here at night." There are also very few private cars.
After being informed by his senior that his mission was complete and he could leave, Hasegawa Yu stood at a dark intersection without any streetlights. He looked around at the dark streets around him and called out softly, "Ararat?"
You can order a taxi through a mobile app.
The gentle boy's voice calmly stated the facts, "I can't send you back."
"I called out."
Holding the phone, Hasegawa Yuu showed a rare look of alertness, but his tone became lower with each word, "I just want to talk to someone."
Recalling the other person's memory, Ararat was silent for a moment, "Since you are not afraid of the dark, then there is nothing to be afraid of ghosts."
Why are non-human creatures afraid of ghosts?
"How can these two be the same!" Hasegawa Yu was shocked. "The dark night can be illuminated by lights, and powerful ghosts are not even afraid of sunlight!"
After saying this, the young man raised his hand to pull the brim of his hood up, hiding his entire face, leaving only his eyes alert. He lowered his voice and said, "And I feel like someone is watching me."
But there were no footsteps, so what could it be if it wasn't a ghost? Hasegawa Yu was sure!
Sighing silently, Ararat simply hacked into the few surveillance cameras on this street, but did not see any human figures.
After thinking for a while, he searched for cell phone signals nearby except for those inside the bar and among the young people, and found a familiar one not far away.
It turned out to be bourbon.
Ararat said calmly: [There are no supernatural elements in this world.]
There is one other non-human life form.
"Is that so?" Hasegawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief visibly.
【The taxi is coming.】
Upon hearing this, Hasegawa Yu opened his phone and took a look. The taxi app showed that the driver was only two hundred meters away from him and would arrive within a minute.
Great, I'm not so scared now that someone is here.
[Wait.] Ararat paused slightly, and when she spoke again, her voice was slightly different. [A fragment of your memory of dying in the first round appeared.]
Hasegawa Yu didn't notice this, and blinked slowly, then said a little late: "Ah... now?"
He immediately became nervous. After enduring for a long time, he still couldn't help but reveal his tears. "I'm a little afraid to look. What should I do, Ararat? There really is a ghost!"
Otherwise, who could have killed him?
[…Your death time in this first round is in five minutes.]
Arara, who had already finished reading her own memory, ignored the young man's strange words. [While receiving memories, time in the outside world does not flow.]
He should be in a taxi in five minutes...
"I understand." Taking a deep breath, Hasegawa Yu closed his eyes as if ready to die. "I'm ready."
The next second, memories of the first round came flooding back to my mind.
Hasegawa Yu saw himself talking to Mr. Ikko in the park where he was originally.
The shark-toothed, white-lined puppy doll with a “(◣д◢)” expression rested its hands on the handle of the suitcase. “I never thought the world I chose would turn out like this…”
This body of mine has no abilities, it's too dangerous. Don't worry, Xiaoyou, I will try my best to find a way to contact God."
After entering the world, they lost contact with the gods, and they could only be summoned again when the conditions of their wishes were met.
Hasegawa Yu died in a car accident while saving someone in the original world. Upon hearing the news, Orimoto Sara and Orimoto Seira were unwilling to accept it for a while. They tried to find a way to resurrect their younger brother (older brother) and asked the sea goddess of the mermaid kingdom for help.
Resurrection is not a simple matter. The goddess got a method from other gods: every wounded human heart will form a piece of konpeito after being healed. As long as the konpeito jar she gave is filled within one year, the person can be resurrected successfully.
In this matter, the two mermaid princesses could not help and could only rely on Hasegawa Yu himself.
The invisible soul crown on his head is the proof of this contract, and Mr. Yijie is the witness and supervisor of the contract, and also a little god.
Mr. Yijie had his own body in the original world, but in order not to destroy the power system of the ordinary world, he descended into the body of a doll.
"It's okay. The final conditions remain the same, right?" Hasegawa Yu reassured him. "We've even gained several extra chances, so the time it takes to collect konpeito has actually increased."
However, even if you restart the game, you cannot collect Konpeito from the same person repeatedly.
Hasegawa Yu is full of energy, "There are so many humans, we will always find our target."
The puppy puppet put his hands on his hips, looking very disappointed. "This world is completely different from what you expected. You should be more cautious!"
"I will." Hasegawa Yu blinked and looked very open-minded. "Then Mr. Siri, the new one, and Mr. Ichisuke, please give us your guidance in the future~"
"What's there to teach a guy who won't even tell us his real name?" the puppy muttered in dissatisfaction. "There's no need to be so nice to him. He's not on the same side as us."
"Mr. Siri at least arranged an identity for me in this world." Hasegawa Yuu gestured for him to relax, "otherwise I would be an illegal resident."
"snort."
The subsequent developments are not much different from this round, but the person who comes to pick up the person is not Morobushi Kagemitsu, but a strange man named "Muranishi".
The other party was too lazy to care about Hojo and directly took Hasegawa Yu to a restaurant near the police department.
There, Hasegawa Yu met Bourbon, who was undercover in the public security department, and he also received today's mission.
The mission process is similar, but five minutes later, the taxi driver will pull out a gun and shoot him without warning.
The mermaid's body is not an iron wall.
Countless bloody fights occur in Beika Town every day. The body of the orange-haired young man is like a drop of water thrown into the sea, which can't even make a splash.
The scene of death gradually faded away, and a line of words appeared before my eyes.
Achievement 1: Death No One Cares About
Coming back from his memories, Hasegawa Yu touched his head with lingering fear. That driver was so mean!
Seeing the young man lower his head to look for anti-wolf equipment, Ararat waited patiently for a while.
Half a minute later, Hasegawa Yu was ready.
Seeing this, Ararat had no choice but to speak up. [Don't you have anything to ask?]
For example, his identity and the content of his memories.
"Mr. Yijie really knows how to talk!" Hasegawa Yu hummed proudly, "My intuition is pretty accurate, right?"
【……】
"Hehe~"
Not getting a response from Ararat, Hasegawa Yu smiled sheepishly, "I think Ararat will tell me when she wants to."
"I believe whatever Ararat says, because we exchanged names."
It's no longer the Siri of the first week.
How naive, Ararat thought, what if even his current name was fake?
The orange-haired young man, unaware of the other party's thoughts, arched his eyebrows and said, "As long as there's a name, then they're friends or family!"
[……] Ararat, who always received unexpected answers, felt an indescribable complexity in her mood.
"I wasn't a big star that everyone liked from the beginning."
Hasegawa Yucheng's golden eyes were full of seriousness. "On the way to becoming a big star, it's normal to encounter people's dislike, indifference, and other attitudes."
"So, Ararat has no obligation to tell me. Besides, we've all lost our memories."
None of his fans have quit following him and turned against him so far. It’s not a matter of estrangement due to breaking up. Hasegawa Yu believes that if you can make friends once, you can make friends a second time!
Having observed the other person's memories from a third-person perspective, Ararat knew very well how terrifying Hasegawa Yu's popularity was in the original world.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why the only people in that world were the distorted Yu Chu.
As a result, the person who was being fangirled over was still convinced that his fans were all normal.
After a while, Ararat said something that he had always been clear about: "I am a native of this world."
If the young man is smart enough, he can also infer relevant information from the memory of the first week.
Although the other party's memory of the first round... seems to still have some unclear parts.
"Yeah." Hasegawa Yoshinoya nodded.
He said that Ararat was a gray gem just like his predecessors.
Ararat never knew about this review, his acting has really improved!
Seeing the young man getting proud again, Ararat felt helpless. He was happy just by guessing something superficial... He was really hopeless.
The taxi arrived at this time.
Hasegawa Yu sat in the passenger seat and after confirming that he was the face in his memory, he immediately sprayed pepper spray at the other person and then stabbed him with the stun gun.
The driver's fragile eyes were irritated by the pepper spray, and he screamed and was temporarily knocked unconscious.
With red eyes, he sprayed himself with vinegar spray, sneezed, and tied the man up in a clumsy manner.
The driver's rope was used.
[Tie him in the passenger seat, not the back seat.]
Ararat, usually quiet, suddenly became talkative, reminding him, "If he wakes up and breaks free, an attack from the back seat will be even harder to resist... Remember to search him."
"Okay." Hasegawa Yu used the crab-tying technique to tie the driver up and moved him to the passenger seat.
"call."
After a busy period, he raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead and looked through the things he had found.
Nothing was found except the gun.
[I suggest you give him a bullet first. I can teach you interrogation techniques.]
This time, Hasegawa Yu didn't listen to him and decided to send the man to the nearest police station.
Fastening his seat belt, he sat quietly in the driver's seat for a full three minutes.
"Ararat, Caicai, save QQ."
I can drive, but I can't understand car navigation.
【. 】
Ararat served as a temporary guide for fifteen minutes.
The driver woke up once during the journey and refused to reveal his identity.
Unable to get any information out of the person, Hasegawa Yu became more determined to leave professional matters to professionals. He would not investigate the identity, but the police would definitely do it.
After arriving at the police station, Hasegawa Yu handed him over to the patrol officer on duty at the station and explained the general situation.
The patrolman yawned as he handcuffed the driver, who was still crying with his eyes closed, and said perfunctorily, "Go back and wait for news."
Not long after the young man left, a muscular figure walked into the police station and said, "Hand over the criminal to me."
The originally drowsy patrolman suddenly woke up and was completely awake, "Section Chief Ida!"
[Target accomplished. —Blanton]
Fūya Rei, who turned off the screen of his phone and had no idea that he was being mistaken for a ghost, fell into deep thought.
After seeing people from afar, he deliberately stayed in the dark to observe.
Due to the angle, Rei Fūdani did not notice Hasegawa Yu's "talking to himself".
The driver was a third-party killer hired by the Di Ai Group in order to distance themselves from the incident in the future.
Fūya Rei had long anticipated that the people from the Teiai Group would seek revenge on him in a roundabout way.
It seems that what they found was the footage captured by the camouflaged surveillance camera during the day, which made him worth leaving the footage on purpose.
The only difference is that the target was changed to Hasegawa Yu.
After receiving the news and drawing a conclusion, Fūya Rei took advantage of the situation and tested the experimental subject again.
If he died, the blame would be on the Emperor Ai Group, but if he survived, he would be able to collect more intelligence.
The only doubt at the moment...
"He was actually sent to the police station." Fūya Rei didn't understand.
Could it be that the Boss is the experimental subject that the cops were assigned to take charge of?
Considering that the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency are rotten from the inside out...it doesn't seem impossible?
Check back later.
