As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"There's nothing I can do, it's your fault for always flying towards me!"

Izayoi Sakamaki said nonchalantly.

"Cough cough."

Standing up from the ground, White Yaksha tidied his appearance.

"Let's stop fooling around. It looks like it's about time. It's about time to announce the start of the game."

"Leticia, how are the preparations going with Homura and the others? They should be all set, right?"

"Master is all set. Miss Yan has been prepared for a long time. We can start the game now."

"Really? That's good. Black Rabbit, it's your turn."

As he spoke, Abigail snapped his fingers, and suddenly a square boulder crashed down from mid-air.

boom......

A sudden, loud bang drew the attention of everyone present. All eyes turned to Black Rabbit, who stood atop the square boulder. However, Black Rabbit was already used to such stares, so she calmly took out a microphone and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Black Rabbit, the referee and host commissioned by the Law of Cycles, the organizer of this Gift Game. I am very pleased that you can participate in this Gift Game hosted by the Law of Cycles. Now, let's invite the Ruler of the Levels, the Thousand-Eyed White Yaksha, to the stage to give a speech."

As he spoke, Black Rabbit stepped aside, making room for him. Then White Yaksha stepped onto the stage and addressed the audience:

"Everyone, I am the Thousand-Eyed White Demon, the guardian of the Eastern District. This time, I have been entrusted by the Law of Cycles to come here as a witness. Well, I wish you all can get what you want."

"Thank you for your speech, Lady White Demon. Now, please welcome Abigail Williams, leader of the Law of Cycles, to announce the start of the game!"

As she spoke, Abigail went up on the stage and loudly addressed the crowd below:

"Ahem, I don't want to waste any more time, so I declare the game begins!"

As Abigail uttered those words, everyone present received an additional contract:

• The game title is: Land of Fantasy Descendants.

• Eligibility and Summary:

Chapter 305 Memories of the Past

Izayoi Sakamaki listened to the creaking of the bus caused by the storm and reached out to wipe the frost off the window. It seemed the storm was hitting the area directly. The driver had repeatedly told him to evacuate immediately when he got off the bus, but it was too annoying, so Izayoi completely ignored him.

Looking at the surrounding scenery and her current twelve-year-old body, Izayoi Sakamaki said softly:

Hallucination or dream?

This scene is deeply buried in Izayoi Sakamaki's memory.

The reason he was here was simply because he had organized a competition. The competition was simple: find him, and the reward was a very substantial prize.

Izayoi Sakamaki turned off the paved road onto a side road and climbed up the mountain path. This place was originally intended to be a nursing home for the elderly, but the planned highway development project had been thwarted, so it was simply abandoned in the mountains without being demolished. Therefore, he used the abandoned facility deep in the mountains as a hiding place.

Izayoi Sakamaki walked along the mountain path, which was in even worse condition due to the heavy rain, and closed the glass door of the ruins, which had already developed cracks.

He picked up a towel hanging on the broken pillar to dry his head and lit the lantern he had prepared beforehand.

After checking his watch by the light of the lantern, he saw that the current time was 23:56. Knowing that there were only four minutes left before the deadline, the young Izayoi Sakamaki sighed, unable to hide his disappointment.

"...It's 23:56 now. There are zero people who have found me."

"—It's 23:57 now. There's one person who has found you."

This should count as cracking the game, right? — Hearing a voice suddenly speaking to him in such a relaxed tone, Izayoi Sakamaki quickly turned around.

"So you were found after all? But it's you after all."

Izayoi Sakamaki's voice was so soft that no one could hear it at all.

That was a woman's voice. An intruder, with a tone as if singing, lurked breathlessly on the other side of the darkness.

Izayoi Sakamaki originally wanted to walk over... but after thinking about it carefully, he realized there was no need to do so and shrugged.

"Yes, that's right. You're the one who successfully cracked this game. As the organizer, I congratulate you. Now, get out here already."

"This organizer really has a sharp tongue."

Although his tone was dismissive, it was still very pleasant to hear.

With each word he heard, Izayoi Sakamaki felt a ripple in her heart.

(Seriously, even though they're dead, they still bother me.)

"Speaking of which, is it necessary to introduce myself? Little Brother Izayoi?"

"No need, it's really a wonder you found out."

At this moment, Izayoi Sakamaki frowned; he hadn't intended to say those words.

"That goes without saying. It's only natural to start by figuring out who you are in order to find out your game."

A smug, self-satisfied voice rang out.

"However, I never expected that a problem child like you would be born into this world. You've been to twenty-four welfare institutions and thirty-one adoptive families, and you've been reported for crimes committed by your adoptive parents twenty-one times. Now, no matter which institution or family you're in, they all continue to refuse to accept you."

"That seems to be true. But it's a wonder you dared to come looking for such a brat. I set up a mountain of traps in the ruins to deal with the intruders."

(Sure enough, my body was automatically reenacting what happened.)

"Oh, um. That level isn't a problem. But the piano wires were too dangerous for other people, so I removed them."

The piano wire was tossed at Izayoi Sakamaki's feet.

This was originally a trap set where the briefcase was hidden. And because it's located deep within the ruins, the location is both dark and difficult to pinpoint... No, more than that...

"..."

"You didn't just take the money and leave."

(Can't we just stay silent? How interesting!)

"I came because I'm interested in you."

"Isn't that obvious?" A cheerful laugh echoed through the dark ruins.

"That's true. The other participants seem to be desperately searching for the whereabouts of the money. They seem to be trying to analyze the photos to find out where the money is hidden."

"Because that was the intended image of the photo. When I took the photo, I deliberately included the coastline in the background, but that would have been too simplistic and the main point was wrong."

As she said this, Izayoi Sakamaki began to wander around aimlessly.

(Was the operation unaffected?)

"However, with so much money involved, wouldn't it be too much work for a child to carry it all by himself?"

"That's one of the ways to deceive the enemy. Besides that, I also prepared several other misleading clues, but all of them fell for it! I should have been more selective in choosing the participants."

(It cannot launch an attack, nor can it cause destruction.)

Izayoi Sakamaki discovers that her body is subject to this limitation.

Then, a mocking laugh came from the darkness.

"I agree. That approach might achieve a certain quantity, but the quality suffers, and it fails to create any excitement. If you're going to do large-scale online promotion, you should start with an experimental game like finding out the prizes. This way, you can screen participants and increase the credibility of the performance. The biggest flaw in this game... is that you've made most people think, 'How could there possibly be a kid in the world with that much money? You're messing with people, aren't you?'"

The other party let out a melodious laugh that sounded like singing.

Although the conversation continued, Izayoi Sakamaki's attention was not on it. After all, this was just an illusion, and everything was fake. Rather than staying in the illusion, he would rather go out now and beat up the guy who brought him here.

At that moment, accompanied by the tapping sound of heels on the floor, the mysterious woman gradually approached. Izayoi Sakamaki raised his lantern and shone it on her, and the woman's entire appearance became clearly visible to him.

The moment Izayoi saw the woman, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

(Damn it, why make the illusion so real? Fine, let's see what you're up to.)

Izayoi Sakamaki asked in a rather dismissive tone:

"Hey, are you dressed like that for hiking?"

"Of course, this is my winning outfit."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman put her hands on her hips and struck a pose.

The woman wore a reddish-purple spaghetti-strap tank top under a long white coat, paired with black heeled boots. The most striking feature was undoubtedly her pair of symmetrical seashell earrings. Since most left-handed seashells are rare, they only appear due to genetic abnormalities.

The face illuminated by the light was unexpectedly beautiful, with wavy blonde short hair that accentuated her neat and delicate features. As for her age, even by raising the bar, she looked to be in her early twenties.

"...I didn't expect you to be so young, Auntie."

"Haha! You call me 'auntie' while saying I'm young? You're really vicious, little brother Sakamaki Izayoi. You should address me as 'Canary Sister' out of respect, reverence, and a sense of defeat."

—Izayoi Sakamaki's eyebrow twitched.

Although he is now used to the canary's personality, he wasn't used to it back then.

“I can’t just take what you just said lightly. What exactly do you mean by ‘feeling defeated,’ Aunt Canary? I’m the organizer, and you’re the challenger. So you should respectfully accept your prize money from me, shouldn’t you?”

However, Canary seemed completely oblivious to Izayoi Sakamaki's strange behavior, and Izayoi Sakamaki paid no attention either, since it was just an illusion.

When faced with Izayoi Sakamaki's words, Kanaria slumped her shoulders, showing a clear sense of disappointment.

"Hey, Izayoi Sakamaki, let me ask you this: why did you organize this game?"

"what?"

"While I think it's probably impossible, you didn't start this game out of some ridiculously sentimental hope that someone in the world could find themselves, did you?"

In that instant, Canary's gaze pierced through Izayoi Sakamaki.

At least Izayoi Sakamaki herself felt this way.

(Seriously, your eye for detail is still as sharp as ever.)
