Number One Player of Time and Space

The number 6:35 danced on the LCD screen of the bedside alarm clock, and the eastern sky was already completely white.

There is still less than half an hour before the arrival of the first inner world.

After putting on a high-end jacket and hiking boots purchased from an outdoor store, Luo Jie began to habitually check his equipment for the last time.

[Demon Sword·Hamon Field], [On Ghost Wheel·Imitation], [Ebony Rosary], [General Guan Yu’s Limited Figure], 3 [Evil-Slaying Seven-Star Sword Talisman], 100 [Evil Guards], 100 bottles 【Holy water】.

Speaking of these [Holy Waters], Luo Jie couldn't help but think of the last meeting between all thirteen players before entering the other world last night.

In order to avoid being noticed, everyone chose the meeting place in a private room of a KTV wholesaler.

It is said to be a combat meeting, but in reality it is just to get to know each other's equipment status, and by the way, check for deficiencies in their own equipment.

It was similar to Luo Jie's estimation. Although the players had tried their best to make money, the equipment was still unsatisfactory.

The green-quality [Evil-Breaking Broom] mentioned in the chat has become the standard equipment for almost everyone. Coupled with the monk robes, priest outfits, and priest robes, it is like a copycat version of Hogwarts Academy. Meeting.

The most embarrassing thing is not these brooms, but another standard weapon, the water gun.

Yes, those colorful children’s toy water guns.

It contains [holy water] bought from the church, which serves as a long-range attack weapon in the off-hand.

That is to say, there are not many other people in this world. Otherwise, if there is such a "devil exorcism equipment" that exudes poverty everywhere, I am afraid that I will die of embarrassment before I even take action.

But ignore those plastic water guns, [holy water] is indeed a good thing. Not only can it cause corrosive damage like sulfuric acid to spirits and evil targets, but it can also be used as ordinary drinking water in emergencies when supplies are lacking. It is definitely a must-have. In the world of supernatural fantasy, it is a must-have item for home travel and slaying demons.

The phone rang and it was "Succulents" calling.

"Succulent, is there anything else you can do?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little nervous. When I hear your voice, Brother Nightmare, I feel more at ease."

Luo Jie smiled silently.

In this illusion, each player's starting point is locked in their respective schools. Luo Jie can't help "Succulents" any more. The only thing he can do is support him with 500,000 yen.

"It is very likely that communication will be impossible in the other world. If you cannot persist in the school, then leave a mark on the road. If conditions permit, I will join you."

"Okay, Brother Nightmare, I understand what you mean... I won't place all my hopes on your help, and you don't have to come all the way for me. Safety comes first in everything."

What Luo Jie admires most about "Succulents" is that this young man can always position himself accurately no matter what the situation is. Even if he is obviously about to jump on his thigh, he still knows when to let go and take a few steps.

This kind of self-knowledge is very comforting.

"Don't be too nervous. Although the suffix "Zero Beginning" has brought us back to the prototype, at the same time, the system will also reduce the strength of monsters accordingly... And if I guess correctly, there will probably be monsters in the other world. There is equipment output. If you encounter targets such as elite monsters, kill them as much as possible if you can. This will make your next journey easier. "

"Okay, I took note of it, Brother Nightmare, you also..."

Didi didi!

Before "Succulent" finished speaking, the alarm clock on the bedside sounded a buzzer.

At the same time, Luo Jie's hand holding the phone suddenly became empty, and when he opened it again, only a handful of charcoal-black ashes flowed down between his fingers.

Like a time lapse scene in a movie, all the items in the room began to become old and rotten at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The walls were yellowed and mottled, the paint on the metal guardrails peeled off, and reddish-brown rust developed. The curtains and sheets covered with cobwebs were stained with large dark-brown unknown traces, and the air was filled with a damp and musty smell similar to that of a basement.

Outside the window with half of the glass missing, a thick gray fog filled the air at some point.

On the shadowy playground, a few strange shadows occasionally passed by. Before they could be seen clearly, they quickly disappeared into the thick fog that blocked the sky.

world.

Advent.

Just like the name "Silent Hill" from which it comes, there is no wind in the world, and the near-dead silence everywhere exudes a sense of oppressive heaviness.

Luo Jie reached out to pick up the mountaineering bag placed on the bed, and the nylon shoulder strap that was supposed to be extremely strong suddenly tore like fragile paper.

The backpack fell to the ground, and a bunch of dirty ropes and rusty cans were exposed from the open zipper.

"Except for the clothes on your body, everything else has been corrupted by the other world..."

Luo Jie couldn't help but frown.

If even personal belongings cannot avoid corruption, then how to solve the food problem on the way out?

At this moment, a line of system prompts suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.

[Mission: Helper of the Other World]

[Goal: Find the facilitator hidden on campus. 】

[Special reminder: There are ten facilitators hidden in each campus. Except for one key facilitator, the other nine facilitators will gradually corrupt over time. Please find them as soon as possible. 】

[Reward: Each time a helper is found, 10,000 points will be awarded. 】

[Corruption Countdown: 29:59]

Luo Jie's pupils suddenly shrank.

There's actually a countdown to finding a helper? And only half an hour?

He rushed towards the door quickly, and as soon as his fingers touched the rusty metal door handle, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

His intuition told him that this unexpected task was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

The system will not arrange missions that require players to die, but it will occasionally dig holes for players in missions.

Thirty minutes, ten facilitators.

This means that players cannot search for each helper for more than three minutes.

Not to mention that the players don't know the locations of these ten helpers at all. Even if they know, it is quite difficult to find them all in such a short time.

Then two inferences can be drawn from this.

Or, the system never intended for players to find all 10 assistants from the beginning.

Or, there may be some kind of search pattern among these 10 facilitators.

Or maybe both.

Luo Jie took a deep breath of the air that had a strong musty smell and a faint smell of fireworks. He forced himself to temporarily ignore the decreasing countdown in the visual projection, and his mind began to spin rapidly.

A few seconds later, he suddenly came up with a strange idea: Why are there not 9 helpers, not 11, but 10?

This may seem like a meaningless question, but if you think carefully about the original work of "Prison School", the wretched five-person group including the male protagonist, three people from the student council, plus the heroine "Chiyo Kurihara" and the director "Kurihara Keiji" has exactly 10 main characters!

Luo Jie didn't believe this was just a coincidence.
