[Sato Kazuma: Upon arriving at the location, they seemed to be making some preparations; they walked from the church towards a house.]
[Kirigaya Kazuto: Some villagers have already entered the Mano River from the riverbank. Everything is normal so far. They are just letting the water go up to their ankles.]
[Shoko Toyokawa: The festival proceeded as planned]
She didn't forget to report on it.
After queuing for a few minutes, Xiangzi picked up the gun but hesitated.
"What's wrong, little girl?"
The boss found it strange that Xiangzi was in a daze.
“So light…”
Xiangzi muttered something, leaving the shopkeeper somewhat puzzled. However, since Xiangzi fought with an automatic rifle, he naturally felt that the gun at the festival was rather flimsy.
Then Xiangzi picked up the gun and took a standard aiming action. Actually, she didn't spend all her rest time on literary creation. Apart from spending some time trying to find magic online out of jealousy, she also practiced shooting aiming and cold weapon power training by following online tutorials.
Xiangzi's skillful movements drew gasps from those around him, followed by a gunshot that Xiangzi wasn't used to and wasn't loud enough.
"clatter!"
The plastic bullets hit the wooden frame pointlessly; it wasn't a real gun, and of course, you wouldn't hit it if you used the aiming habits of a real gun.
"Ugh?"
Xiangzi looked at the gun in his hand with some curiosity, then calculated the deflection distance with a reddish tinge, and raised it again.
"clatter!"
A few minutes later, Xiangzi, enraged, put down her gun. The wooden frame and red cloth next to the balloons suffered heavy damage from her barrage of bullets. She pulled out her coin purse, looking like she was going to take over the whole place, but Kerry shook his head.
“These have all been modified, and given the accuracy issues, it’s impossible for them to deviate from the aim exactly the same every time.”
With an expression of "Holy crap, how could this merchant be so wicked?", Xiangzi put down his gun, turned around, and left.
Xiangzi felt that he was the one who wanted to play, but his performance ended up with nothing going, which was very embarrassing.
Kerry shook his head, took out his money, and casually fired a few shots, causing several balloons to burst instantly.
When the boss reluctantly prepared to get things for Kerry, Kerry put down the gun. He was just playing around; he didn't want any reward.
"You should have won back that grand prize. Wasn't it a PS5? See if anyone would still play without the grand prize. This kind of business is infuriating. I saw that his large plush toy is covered in dust."
Xiangzi didn't go far either. When he saw Keli wanting to play, he stood not far away and muttered to himself as Keli returned empty-handed.
As he spoke, he looked over and saw a large doll shaped like the mascot of Amagi Brilliant Park, a famous amusement park near Tokyo.
"If you want that, I can make one for you."
"I didn't want it."
Xiangzi quickly looked away.
The two continued to wander within the festival grounds.
Kerry bought a red form of the Pokémon-themed Urgot mask and hung it on his face, while Xiangzi was very interested in a demon mask and bought it as well. The two of them put it on their faces, looking nothing like comrades who came to play, but more like the Black and White Impermanence.
Xiangzi completely let loose, eating fried noodles, bread, and golden candy one after another, while Keli went to play in the goldfish scooping area for a while.
"Hehe, I wonder if the Bai Group and Lanmeng Company even exist in this world. If they do, I wonder how that old devil Tiandao is doing. Is Yuan Hai still studying in Japan?"
With his control over the force, Kerry easily scooped up the goldfish using the paper as thin as a cicada's wing.
However, just as Xiangzi squatted down to indicate that he wanted to try his luck, a message ruined the joyful and relaxed atmosphere.
[Sato Kazuma: They seem to have entered an abandoned factory. Something's not right, guys. The problem might be with me. I'll go in and check it out. Be extra vigilant.]
250
Chapter 250 The Big One is Here!
Upon seeing the message in his mind, Xiangzi's smile froze.
It seems like they got too engrossed in the game.
But it's understandable, since it's been a really long time since I've done these kinds of normal activities.
Only when they start doing it do they forget the fact that they are inhuman.
"Prepare for support and alert."
Xiangzi got up and stuffed the last of the food in the box into his mouth in a few bites. He wiped his mouth and chewed while showing a cold expression.
However, at this moment, the two noticed that something was wrong with the flow of the crowd.
It appears that a large number of people are heading towards the nearby mountains.
Just as the two were on guard and puzzled, they soon heard the reason from the moving crowd.
"The fireworks are about to start, let's grab a good spot."
"Quick, quick! I want that feeling from anime too."
It turned out that the festival included a fireworks display, but the group had been so busy investigating the village that they hadn't noticed anything special about the festival.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Summer, fireworks, festivals—these three moves are like Xiao Xiang's combo of running around like crazy after realizing he's the one who needs the most practice, feeling guilty for scolding someone who cares about him, and then being too embarrassed to apologize.
It is an essential part that must be appreciated.
However, in reality, there are obviously no special viewing spots for the male and female leads at fireworks displays.
The seats where you could sit, talk, and see the fireworks were taken up hours ago, and everywhere was packed with people.
[Kirigaya Kazuto: Kazuma, how are things on your end? Do you need any backup?]
[Sato Kazuma: Don't worry, I saw them bring two women into the factory.]
[Sato Kazuma: A girl ran away from inside! Don't come to my aid yet, everyone there is in chaos saying the ritual failed!]
At this moment, Kazuma was in the abandoned factory. He was on the second floor, from where he could vaguely see things on the first floor.
A group of people stood around what appeared to be a scarlet altar. They seemed to have intended to let a girl walk inside, but the girl suddenly ran away.
The woman named Hisako Yao, whom she had met earlier, seemed to also want to help her. She paused for a moment before chasing after them, as if she had just realized what was happening.
Those still inside the church were terrified, saying that divine punishment was coming.
"boom!"
At the same time, the first firework exploded outside, startling Kazuma.
After thinking for a moment, Kazuma decided to go down and see what was going on. Anyway, these people hadn't shown any fighting ability, and he could easily do whatever he wanted on his own.
Just then, a hissing sound suddenly came from my ear.
Not only Kazuma, but Kirito, who was hiding in a tree like a cat watching everything on the Mano River, was also first attracted by the sound of fireworks, and then he saw that in the middle of the night... it seemed like it was getting light.
The place with the clearest view is the festival area.
Xiangzi stopped because of the fireworks and looked up at the sky.
"It's fireworks..."
Kerry also stopped and looked up in that direction.
Fireworks exploded from a single point in the sky, their streaks of light blooming freely in the dark night, leaving behind a trail of colorful sparks before finally fading away.
It seems that it wasn't just one loud sound; after the first one, there were several more.
When Xiangzi saw this, her eyes narrowed into two small crescent moons, but her smile vanished in that instant...
"what is that……"
The question was left unasked, lingering in my throat.
They are now on the hillside because they are following the crowd.
In the gathering place of fireworks, in the pitch-black sky, a pure white light, as if splitting open an abyss of heaven, flashed up from the sky.
Then came a piercing sound, like an air raid siren, that made one's head spin.
"Boom!!!"
In just a moment, all the ordinary people who were just laughing collapsed.
The only sound at the festival was the machine noise from the stalls trying to attract children; everyone else lay unconscious on the ground.
Xiangzi frantically grabbed Keli's wrist, just as he was about to do something, when he felt a violent tremor beneath his feet, as if an earthquake had struck.
Even the words he spoke had lost their sound.
The next moment, the world changed dramatically. It seemed as if countless giant hands, each tens of meters long, stretched out from the white crack in the sky, radiating an astonishing brilliance from the front of the crack.
And those hands, arranged and wriggling in the air, stretched out like a painting.
Until the last pair of hands were extended, they were severed as if cut off, with the hands and wrists separated.
The dazzling white light seemed to steal all the light from heaven and earth, leaving Keli and Xiangzi with only that.
Having never seen such a grand scene before, Xiangzi showed a rare moment of timidity, but Kerry remained unmoved, looking up at the sky and supporting Xiangzi.
The tremors stopped when their gazes left the white light.
But what met their eyes was a bottomless thick fog.
"This is……"
Xiangzi shook his head, trying to clear the terrifying scene from his mind. At this moment, the surroundings seemed to have completely changed.
No, but it doesn't seem to be completely complete, because you can still see some people who were lying next to them at the time, but the clearly visible festival street in the distance has disappeared.
"How is this going?"
Xiangzi looked around in alarm.
"It seems to be a spatial transfer."
Kerry was also somewhat unsure, but he still gave an answer.
At the same time, the group chat also lit up.
[Kirigaya Kazuto: Are you guys alright?]
[Sato Kazuma: I'm still alive. Where am I? Have I ended up in another world again?]
