You tell me, this is called daily youth?

"This is of no use for now. It would be better if it were physical strength."

"You're dreaming. I guess specialized points are harder to obtain than strengthening points. Besides, this thing might be useful in the future." Yuki touched his chin, feeling a little depressed.

In terms of skills, Hayasaka Ai has just as many as I do, but this has nothing to do with talent. When I first traveled through time, I had to earn money to support myself, so how could I compare with the Shinomiya family in terms of resources?

Just when he was about to complain, he heard the sound of footsteps again, causing the two people who had just relaxed to tense their muscles again. Hayasaka Ai also returned to her player form and arched her back like a female leopard.

The Red Moon gift has come again? Is there still a need for human life?

The two men looked towards the archway without blinking, quietly tightening their swords and axes. After a few seconds, a dagger appeared in their sight.

Hayasaka Ai immediately leaned forward and was about to rush forward to take the initiative when she was held down on the shoulders by Yusuke. She turned her head away in confusion.

"One of our own."

Yuki answered, looking upwards with a slightly surprised look. Behind the short sword was a pair of plump and slender black silk legs, followed by a bunny girl costume that perfectly outlined the body curves.

Mai Sakurajima didn't follow the sound of gunfire to find Li Dan? Was she too scared, or was she courageous?

The answer is unknown, because the bunny girl was already standing at the entrance, looking at the two of them with a dull look.

The bloody and huge corpse of the licker had not completely disappeared yet. Large amounts of blood flowed along the stone steps to the depths, and the girl of the same age who had spoken to him not long ago was even covered in blood.

It had been nearly five hours since the game started, and for the first time, she felt the strangeness between people. Looking at each other and then looking at herself, it was as if they were not living in the same world.

Fortunately, Mai Sakurajima is well-informed and mature beyond her age, so she swallowed her saliva and said, "You, you guys are..."

"Haha, I did a few small things. Mai-san, you are quite brave to chase us alone." Hayasaka Ai instantly regained her hot girl image and said in a teasing tone, "The fate of going alone will be miserable. If you can't find us, guess whether you can survive for five minutes?"

The girl in blood-stained clothes holding an axe was scary, but the teasing tone made Mai frown slightly, and she heard the contempt in the words.

"I have made a judgment that if I go to find Li Dan, my chance of survival is even lower. If I encounter danger, he will not do his best to protect me."

"Oh? Could he?"

Mai shifted her gaze towards Yuuki and nodded slightly.

The fact that she pushed herself away before explained a lot of things. Sakurajima Mai was not stupid. She knew that the licker's first target would be herself. Most people would have been scared silly in that situation and would not have the mind to save others.

"It's not just about the survival rate. He saved me before, and I wanted to help. At least I wouldn't let him go alone."

Hayasaka Ai's lips moved slightly, and she held back her sarcastic remarks, because there was no burden due to the copy. If Yuuki was alone, he would be dead even without the Licker's action.

I don’t know whether this is true or not, and I don’t feel moved at all, but this rationality is commendable.

"Yuki-san, I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman." Hayasaka Ai still had that teasing tone, but her eyes were rational and cold, as if asking him what to do.

The two's cards cannot be exposed, and this big star is of no use in the game. At least his intelligence and rationality are far from enough. The bloody battle he just experienced was terrifying, so how could he have the energy to take care of a burden?

No matter what, I must go back alive, there are still many things to do.

It was very dangerous to interfere in the affairs of two women. Yuki didn't say anything. When he noticed Hayasaka Ai's gaze, he just spread his hands.

"I've always been a gentleman."

"Why didn't you notice when you were playing tricks on me just now?"

"That's to relax you. If you stay tense for too long, your heart will have problems. I'm a doctor after all."

"A medical student, and only a first year at that."

The corner of Yuki's mouth twitched slightly. He ignored Hayasaka Ai's argument and looked at Sakurajima Mai. He saw that the bunny girl senior was biting her lip and raising her chin, but the hand holding the dagger was shaking slightly.

She was awaiting trial. Neither of them needed to take any action. If they turned away from her, they would be dead. She had already experienced the terror of walking alone.

But even so, she refused to kneel down and beg. It was useless and would cause her to lose her dignity as a human being.

Yuuki is not a saint, and he has no interest in vases, but his speculation about his 'true self's characteristics' made his eyes soften, and he turned to look at Hayasaka Ai.

"Ms. Hasaka, we are a tripartite alliance."

Chapter 12 We United (Revised)

Triple Alliance?

When hearing this, Hayasaka Ai was a little confused and disappointed.

It was a good fit for her to join forces with this man, as they both demonstrated their value, especially Yuki. Her rationality, fighting power, and professionalism made her very satisfied. Besides, this man was definitely in Japan and wouldn't dare to stab her in the back easily.

The perfect partner, but why bring her along?

Hayasaka Ai looked back and forth at the two of them, her eyes becoming more and more ambiguous, and she covered her mouth and laughed, "Yuuki-san, it seems that you have a lot of unrealistic fantasies about the entertainment industry."

Sakurajima Mai's hand holding the knife shook even more violently, and Yuki felt a headache, but he couldn't refute other people's suspicions.

"I never give up on my comrades, and I keep my word."

"You two are considered comrades in arms?"

"Just barely, right? And since she dared to come to me, the word 'reluctant' can be removed." Yuuki put away the knife. He couldn't say that Sakurajima Mai might be very useful in the future, so he could only make an analogy:

"We are players, but we also have our own personalities. If I abandon you when I see a better partner, that's really despicable."

The blonde girl tilted her head slightly and thought about it carefully, which did make some sense. If this guy was really someone who would do anything to survive, the knife just now should have cut off both herself and the monster.

She reluctantly accepted this reason. After all, she had time and she could tell the truth from the falsehood with her own eyes.

"Okay, but I still have to remind you that it's dangerous to act cool in this kind of game~"

"Don't worry, I'm more professional than you." Yuki rolled his eyes. Hayasaka Ai's switching back and forth between various forms was a little unpredictable.

But one thing is certain, her desire to survive is no less than mine.

"Mai-san, come here. Since we are allies, let's have a good discussion." He turned his head and waved to the girl who was standing blankly above him.

After she finished speaking, Sakurajima Mai did not move. This result was really beyond her expectations. She originally thought that it would be great if these two people could take her back to reunite, but they actually became teammates?

"Why? I don't think I can help you in any way." She looked doubtful. When the monster appeared just now, it was difficult for her to stay calm and make judgments, let alone fight it.

"She doesn't know she has that ability yet? Yeah, it hasn't been shown since she joined the game."

After relaxing, Yuki suddenly discovered a blind spot, but he couldn't ask directly "What about your puberty syndrome?", so he had to touch his chin with a deep expression:

"I know your value better than you do."

After these words were spoken, Sakurajima Mai became even more confused. She thought about it for a while, and suddenly covered her chest with her hands, her face red, and she looked alert.

The two of them haven't been together for too long, and Yuki had only said something like "You're dressed very provocatively" to show his interest, so naturally he would think in that direction.

Hayasaka Ai couldn't hold back after watching this scene. She turned her head away and said, "Pfft, you're not very good at pleasing girls."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Mai Sakurajima watched the two people's expressions gradually become more complicated. Somehow, her body instinctively moved down the stone steps, and the alert expression that had just appeared disappeared without a trace.

In any case, the way these two people now look is more in line with common sense, rather than cold-blooded players struggling to survive.

Yuki watched the bunny girl senior slowly approach, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere.

In this reincarnation game, staying rational is a necessary option, but if you become a robot with only logic left, how can you write the word "trust"? Just like Hayasaka Ai's mask, your mood will change according to different people and things.

After going through the "gift" sent by the red moon, a small group was finally formed, and in this dead silence underground, they recalled the experience of the past five hours.

Five hours felt longer than five years. The three of them experienced things that were previously unimaginable. Taking advantage of the temporary safety, they were finally able to exchange information.

"Hints 1, 4, and 6 have all revealed problems. That strange voice was not joking, it was just ambiguous. We need to experience it ourselves to understand how dangerous it is." Yuki leaned against the wall, stroking his brow. His intelligence analysis ability was the strongest among the three.

Tip one, the zombies will devour your flesh and blood; Tip four, the red moon will send gifts every once in a while; Tip six, please don't walk alone.

Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai both went over these words in their minds, and the more they thought about it, the colder they felt.

"Well, that monster does look like a zombie. It's a gift from Red Moon. We have all experienced the consequences of walking alone. Emotionally, we will become very manic." Hayasaka Ai was just discussing shampoo with her senior like a Shibuya girl, and immediately switched back to player mode.

"Mania? What I feel is fear, like walking in darkness without light, even consciousness is about to be annihilated." Sakurajima Mai continued, and by the way, she glanced at Hayasaka Ai and thought that this girl's acting skills are pretty good.

"It seems that everyone has different problems. This game will amplify the emotions in our hearts."

"What will be the result?"

"I don't know, but it won't be better than having your head exploded." Yuki answered casually. Seeing the disgusted expressions of the two girls, his smile became even wider: "I can be sure that these hints are linked together."

The two nodded at the same time, there was no doubt about it, and then as if they had thought of something, they spoke in unison.

"Wait a minute, then hint three..."

Talking to smart people is easy, you can just ask them questions yourself.

Yuki's smile turned bitter. That's right, hint three: time will keep passing, just like your life and hope.

This is fucking time-limited, and will most likely be linked to other prompts, which means the next gift will be even more terrifying, and at a certain stage, even veteran players will have no way out.

"Then we are dead?" Hayasaka Ai's face turned pale instantly. She knew too well the limit of her strength.

"I don't know, but do you remember the first sentence..." Sakurajima Mai said hesitantly. Seeing Yuki making a 'please' gesture, she simply continued: "Please survive until the third day. Since it is a 'day', there should be day and night, and it should not be calculated by clock time."

These words were a bit abrupt, at least they didn't sound like something a vase would say. Hayasaka Ai was suspicious for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Like the movie 'The Long Night', I forgot about it, you played the little girl in it, but your death was a bit tragic."

"Hasaka-san, there's no need to bring up that last sentence."

Yuki ignored Sakurajima Mai who looked helpless and instantly caught the inspiration.

He had also seen the movie "The Long Night", which was about an apartment building where evil spirits came out at night to eat people, but it was just like the polar night. Even after twenty-four hours, the sun did not rise, and naturally everyone was destroyed in the end.

It's somewhat similar to the current situation. There has been no sign of moonset for five hours. If this problem is not solved, will everything be destroyed like in the movies?

Sakurajima Mai's idea is very valuable. It seems that I have found some clues to solve the problem. Well, it is already five o'clock in the morning, and the red moon has not moved an inch, let alone the setting of the moon and the rising of the sun.

"Any ideas?"

"A little, but not much." Yuki shook his head slightly. He had discovered the problem, but had not found a solution. He said to himself, "Do you think there is any explanation for Hint 2?"

Tip 2: Except for the castle, you cannot stay in any one location for more than two hours.

This sounds a bit like a hint to reduce the difficulty. If you can't hide in the castle for a long time, do you have to rush out and fight the endless zombies? Even experienced players will be exhausted.

The two shook their heads at the same time, and Hayasaka Ai said thoughtfully: "It looks like there is a glimmer of hope, but I don't think this reincarnation game is so kind."

"That's the problem. I found the game to be somewhat misleading. For example, this castle looks safe, but it's actually full of dangers."

"Indeed, there are solid walls to keep the monsters out. At first I thought the biggest problem would be water and food, but I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect the surprise to be even more fatal. According to the limit of human endurance, I can endure two days without food or water."

"Is it okay not to drink water?" Sakurajima Mai interrupted, then saw two meaningful looks and immediately shut her mouth.

If you really want to stay alive, there are many things to eat and drink.

So this game abhors tricks and the key is to find clues?

Yuki took a look at the deep underground and decided to follow Him. Since they were looking for clues, they couldn't stay where they were.

"Something's not right inside," Hayasaka Ai warned.

"This damn place is not good anywhere. Let's take a look first. At least there is no moonlight here. I think it can come in handy."

Holding the hilt of the sword loosely, Yuki walked in front to lead the way. He then discovered that the stone steps were very long. Even if the corners were included, they were almost 20 to 30 meters deep underground.

Another arched doorway appeared in front of them, emitting a faint light like a nuclear-powered wall lamp. Yuki suddenly leaned against the wall, scaring the two people behind him, who hurriedly stretched their heads to look out.

dungeon?

There was still a corridor in the doorway, but unlike the first floor of the basement, there were dense railings on both sides. There was a corner about ten meters away, and a strange sound was coming from there.

Huhu.

Some of it sounded like wind, accompanied by the rustling of chains.

Gulu.

Yuki heard the sound of blood surging in his throat, then felt his sleeve being tugged. He turned half way around and saw Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai shaking their heads in unison.

"You two wait here for me, I'll go take a look."

"Hey, don't drag us down with you if you want to die."

"You two are not alone, so what are you afraid of?" Yuki pulled his hand away. He didn't want to die. He had a gut feeling that there must be something to gain there.

Just take a look, just a look.

He stood on tiptoe, his back also chilled with nervousness. The short ten-meter distance seemed like the end of the world, and he stared straight at the wall at the corner.

It took him a full minute to move to the corner, lean his back against the wall, take a deep breath, and then pop his head out.

At just a glimpse, his blood-red pupils froze, and he opened his mouth and uttered a clear and melodious voice:
