My two-dimensional resident

On the southernmost coast of the map, there is an airplane-shaped marker, which is the place where Lin Tian woke up—the airport and its reception hall.

After looking at the map, Lin Tian shifted his gaze to the bottom fifth of the phone screen, where there were two building logos, representing "Service Area" and "Airport" respectively.

Chapter Eleven: Humans and Ghosts Are Different - Don't Think Like That!

"What a comprehensive map! Now I can find all the residents on the island as soon as they leave the island."

In the game, the map shows the residence of each resident. However, in reality, it displays the actual location of each resident. While this might be somewhat disrespectful to residents' privacy, it also makes it easier for Lin Tian to find them.

"Huh? Kikyo, why are you so close to me?"

Just as Lin Tian was about to close the map, he accidentally touched Kikyo's portrait, and Kikyo's location instantly appeared on the map. Upon closer inspection, Lin Tian discovered that Kikyo was at the edge of the forest, very close to him.

Was she here to see if she had successfully caught the scorpion? Or was she waiting for me to sing for her?

Thinking of this, Lin Tian quickly put away his phone, turned around and walked out of the tent.

He turned to look west, and sure enough, in the shadows beneath the trees, a semi-transparent phantom was watching him.

"I'm sorry, Kikyo, I didn't notice you came. I went back to my tent to rest for a while."

Lin Tian walked to Kikyo's side, and fearing that she might misunderstand, he began to explain.

"Oh, it really is a tent! It's so beautiful! It's a bit different from the ones in my hometown. Compared to yours, the tents there are practically garbage."

Kikyo glanced at Lin Tian's tent, then looked away, a smile on her face, her tone gentle and pleasant.

However, a question arose in her mind once again: Isn't Lin Tian the island's owner? Why is he living in a tent?

Is it because no people built a house for her?

Having arrived here half an hour ago, Kikyo had already scouted the forest before meeting Lin Tian and found no trace of human activity. She thought she had come to the most remote part of the "world of the dead".

When Kikyo met Lin Tian and learned that this was his island, she imagined Lin Tian as a ruler from the Warring States period, and that there were many people on the island besides him.

In Kikyo's eyes, the handsome and smiling Lin Tian had become a down-on-his-luck nobleman who had just been exiled to this isolated island.

His life in his family must have been very difficult...

Kikyo recalled her past and looked at Lin Tian in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

"Haha, if you want a tent, I'll ask my chief steward, the one in charge of managing this island. Even though you're in a spirit state now, you're still a resident of the island, and I think he'll provide you with a place to stay."

Lin Tian never expected Kikyo, a priestess, to say such a thing. It was beyond his understanding of Kikyo. He grinned, thinking that Kikyo was now the first resident of this island, and although she was a ghost, it was inappropriate to let her wander aimlessly in the forest every day.

After all, Kikyo was a young girl in the prime of her life when she died, and girls need a private space no matter where they are.

"Is that alright, Lin...Island Master?"

In her lifetime, Kikyo lived a life of protecting the Shikon Jewel and the villagers around the shrine. Now that she is dead, she can look back on everything from her life.

In this beautiful new world, there is no spiritual power, no monsters. They also encounter Lin Tian, ​​a man with a "pitiful past" who was exiled to this island, yet always displays a smile as bright as sunshine.

Kikyo, who did not experience the resurrection storyline, did not harbor much resentment and wanted to live a good life on this island.

Retirement doesn't seem so bad!

"It should be...okay, since with my approval, you'll be a resident of this island."

Seeing a hint of expectation on Kikyo's calm face, Lin Tian suddenly realized that Kikyo must be very sad if Xiao Ke couldn't provide a tent for the soul to live in.

Feeling guilty, Lin Tian touched his hair, as if he were making empty promises to his employees.

However, he was still 70% certain that Kikyo couldn't have come here for no reason; it must have been arranged by the "will of the island."

Since the deceased Kikyo was allowed to come to the island in spirit form, there must have been a purpose; it's impossible for her to remain a wandering female ghost on the island indefinitely.

System, cheat code, or some big shot—Lin Tian wasn't sure how to describe the specific entity that made him the island's master.

He became the island's owner, and so for the time being, that existence was called the "island will" of the adorable Rabbit Island.

“Kikyo, let’s go together. I only arrived a few hours earlier than you, so you don’t need to use honorifics with me. Just call me Lin Tian or Xiao Tian.”

“Okay, Lin... Tian.”

Upon hearing Kikyo's agreement, Lin Tian walked ahead, leading Kikyo along the forest path towards the plaza.

On the way, Lin Tian asked Kikyo if she knew a lot about music. Kikyo shook her head and said that when she was a shrine maiden, she only learned the ritual songs for ceremonies. Then she praised Lin Tian for singing very well.

Having been on the island for less than a day, someone actually praised Lin Tian for his singing, and even mentioned that he was a fan of anime characters from a certain period of his life.

Kikyo's praise made Lin Tian extremely happy. Driven by vanity, he couldn't possibly let go of this potential fan, so he immediately sang another song by his idol, "Broken String".

The moving song made Kikyo involuntarily raise her hands to applaud Lin Tian. Seeing this, Lin Tian secretly vowed to cultivate Kikyo into a loyal fan of Rene Liu.

So, mobilizing the "tap water" spirit, they began telling Kikyo the story of Milk Tea Lun.

Although Jay Chou may never know that in a distant world, he will have one more fan from the world of anime and manga.

But whether Lin Tian knew these things or not was no longer important. He was content as long as one more person liked Jay Chou's songs.

Lin Tian has always liked to share the things he enjoys with his like-minded friends, and then they listen to music together, living a carefree and happy life.

"Kikyo, there are no more trees ahead. Wait here for a while, I'll go in and get you a tent and come right back."

Looking at the square ahead and Xiao Ke's tent, Lin Tian glanced back at Kikyo and asked her to wait a moment.

A soul that can manifest in daylight is afraid of sunlight.

Isn't this supposed to be a vampire trope? Why restrict the soul...?

Lin Tian was utterly baffled that such an absurd scenario could happen on this island.

However, upon further reflection, it is a mistake to try to understand a game world using the same concepts as the ordinary world.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here, Lin Tian!"

Watching Lin Tian's departing figure, Kikyo stared intently at the amber-colored tent, which was even more luxurious and enormous than Lin Tian's tent, and another question inevitably arose in her mind.

"It's strange that Lin Tian, ​​the island's owner, doesn't live as luxuriously as his butler... Was he sent by Lin Tian's family to monitor him?"

Kikyo became even more convinced that Lin Tian was the exiled son of a fallen nobleman...

Chapter Twelve: I Never Expected the First Resident to Be Her

When Lin Tian entered the tent, he found it empty. The three little ones were not waiting for him at the service desk.

Lin Tian thought Xiao Ke and the others had gone out again, and somewhat disappointed, he prepared to look for them in other parts of the island.

But just as he was about to turn around and leave, a crisp sound came from the compartment inside the tent.

Then you hear Xiao Ke tell Xiao Li to be careful and not to break the cup again.

"So that's where it is! When I was playing the game, I was always curious about where these NPCs lived. I never imagined there was such a hidden world inside this tent!"

With a slight smile, Lin Tian walked past the service counter in the lobby and headed inside.

Lifting the curtain, a corridor appeared before Lin Tian. Following the sound, he arrived at a wooden door, gently pushed it open, and found the three little ones busily preparing various delicacies: steamed fish, grilled skewers, pizza, fruit salad...

Looking at the food, Lin Tian was a little surprised. These were all his favorite dishes. How did the three little ones know?

"Ah! Lin Tianli, what brings you here?"

Xiao Dou, who had just finished checking if Xiao Li was injured, heard someone push the door open and entered. She turned around and saw that it was Lin Tian. She then ran happily to Lin Tian.

"Little Ke, it's like this. A new resident has arrived on the island, but she's a bit special; she's a spirit. I'd like to ask if you have any tents here that spirits can use?"

Looking at Xiao Ke dressed as a chef, Lin Tian thought to himself how cute he was, and then asked him about whether Kikyo could have a tent to live in.

"Soul Tanuki? What's that? But... as long as you come to this island, agree to live here, and register your information according to the Nok Corporation's immigration plan, you'll become a formal resident. Everyone will get a tent."

Upon hearing the words "soul entity," Xiao Ke tilted his large head slightly, pondered for a moment, and then gave Lin Tian his reply.

"That's great! But she can't come in right now because she's afraid of sunlight, so she has to hide in the woods. Come with me and we'll register her as a resident."

I was right!

After hearing Xiao Ke's affirmative answer, Lin Tian smiled and quickly asked Xiao Ke to follow him to find Kikyo.

Without wasting any words, Xiao Ke took off his chef's uniform, put on the green work clothes, and followed Lin Tian out of the tent.

"Hello, you must be a new resident! I'm the president of the Nok Corporation, which manages this island. My name is Tom Nook, and I'm a tanuki! You can also call me Little Nook!"

"..."

Seeing that Lin Tian had brought a tanuki (raccoon dog), Kikyo immediately assumed that Lin Tian had been deceived by the tanuki's illusion. She wanted to take the bow and arrows off its back and interrogate the tanuki to find out if it had tricked Lin Tian.

But when she stretched her hands behind her, she found she couldn't do it. The bow and arrows behind her were like decorations stuck to her body, no longer a weapon to kill monsters.

At the same time, she realized that she no longer had any spiritual power and could not pose a threat to the monster, so she decided to remain in the dark and see what tricks the tanuki would use to deceive her.

"I'm sorry, Kikyo, I forgot to tell you, Kyouka is a tanuki. Don't be offended, you can ask him anything you don't understand in the future. He's a very kind tanuki! Unlike the tanuki in your world!"

Lin Tian noticed that Kikyo was somewhat wary of Kyo, and then he recalled that in the Warring States period, a time when people lived comfortably, tanuki were a type of monster that used illusions to bewitch humans.

Realizing that Kikyo, being a priestess, had misunderstood K, Lin Tian began to explain to her.

"I see..."

After listening to Lin Tian's explanation, Kikyo realized that she had misunderstood. She had now discovered that the tanuki in front of her had no demonic power at all; it was just a creature that looked like a tanuki.

Hello! I am Kikyo!

Since there was a misunderstanding, Kikyo bowed to Kyo and said her name.

"Hello! Hello! You're a bellflower! Would you like to live on this island and become a resident?"

Xiao Ke seemed oblivious to Kikyo's misunderstanding. After Kikyo told him her name, he took out his phone and asked her.

"Ok!"

"Great! We have another new resident. Now our island lord, Lin Tianli, won't feel lonely!"

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Little K excitedly wagged his adorable tail and clapped his hands.

"Okay, now I'll take your picture and register your information. After that, you'll officially become a resident of the adorable Rabbit Island."

"Adorable Rabbit Island?"

Upon hearing the name of the island, Kikyo's face showed a strange expression for a moment, but she quickly regained her calm expression and looked at Lin Tian with a puzzled look.

"Um...this island used to have this name, and even though I'm the island owner now, I can't change it..."

When Xiao Ke said "cute," Lin Tian anticipated that Kikyo would give him a strange look. Feeling embarrassed, he still mustered up the courage to find an excuse and explain to Kikyo.
