I'm really just human

"rustle."

Deep in the thick fog, the action team was holding the rope up. Taki Akihisa, who was following the team, wiped his sweat when the equipment hanging on his backpack suddenly slipped and rolled down the hillside.

"My detector..."

Taki Akihisa subconsciously wanted to turn back to pick it up, but was stopped by the knight in front of him shouting.

"Do you want to die?! Don't fall behind in a place like this!"

"yes……"

Glancing at the fog that was quickly pressing over him, Taki Aki opened his mouth and could only continue to follow the team.

Because it was a dungeon that had already been explored, this time the action team consisted of 5 warriors and 5 ordinary people. Hiroko Asami was considered one of the ordinary people because she had recently obtained the knight system, and the others were scholars in various fields.

Originally there was no place for Taki Akihisa, but this guy temporarily requested a spot after yesterday's party.

"You actually asked the head of the room to ask for help and forced me to join in... Even if you have explored it once, it does not mean that it is absolutely safe. Do you know?"

Asami Hiroko stepped back slightly.

Even though it was her first time participating in a copy operation, she knew much more information than others.

Even level 4 knights have records of their demise.

"Isn't this a small monster dungeon?" Taki Aki took a long breath and struggled to cross the hillside. "I am also a game master after all, and I am not unfamiliar with dungeons. Each level of dungeon has a corresponding degree of danger..."

"Can this be the same? It's not a real game!"

"Hurry up from behind!"

"boom--!"

"What's the sound?" Asami Hiroko stopped and looked around the mountains in confusion, "Did something happen? It seems to be near the entrance to the dungeon..."

"Maybe something fell off the cliff."

"By the way, why is the dungeon passage this time in such a deep mountain?"

"how could I know?"

Asami Hiroko shook her head and continued to move forward, but the rope in her hand suddenly felt light. The footsteps that were still clear in front of her disappeared inexplicably, and even the voices became strangely silent.

"what happened?"

The rear knight frowned and stepped forward, leading Asami Hiroko and others to disappear.

"call!"

Natsukawa stretched out his hand to grab Asami Hiroko, but his fingers missed through the mist.

It's a phantom.

The action team has already arrived at this place in advance.

Something happened...

After seeing the detection instrument that Taki Akihisa had dropped, Xia Chuan closed his eyes slightly and let go of his telekinesis.

The copy of Hibiki that appeared this time seemed a little different.

There is no fixed entrance, and even the level 5 knight trapped inside escaped.

Is it because of the white mist?

The snow of time, the fog of space... Insects in the Jia Dou world have mentioned it before.

"It's probably not too late."

Xia Chuan raised his hand to summon the Hypha Insect, and together with the Steel Dou Insect Instrument, he transformed into a super-ascension state.

The demonized monsters in the Hibiki world feed on humans, and many of them are large monsters. Considering the configuration of the action team, it is not surprising that the group is wiped out.

However, due to the time required for gestation, demonized sprites usually appear in remote places.

As long as the action team doesn't commit suicide, the chance of survival is safer than a simple monster copy.

"Wow!"

Xia Chuan stepped into the depths of the thick fog, turned his head slightly, and perceived the decadent petrified belt a little more clearly.

Just in a certain copy of time and space.

"Teacher! Teacher Kaminaga!"

"Stop looking for it. That guy will come out as soon as possible."

Outside the mountains and forests.

Fujiwara Saiji never waited for Natsukawa to come back. He anxiously wandered on the edge of the fog. He tried several times to enter but failed, and almost lost his direction.

Although he believed in Xia Chuan's strength, the mist was too weird and had suddenly suppressed his transformation ability just now.

It seems that only ghost knights can move freely inside.

If the mentor can't transform...

"I said, can you guys please stop causing trouble?"

The ghost knight put down the phone that he finally connected to, holding a piece of dead grass in his mouth and smiled at Fujiwara Saiji.

"I have almost understood the situation. I didn't expect that someone would become a level 6 knight. But this time it's the ghost world. It's a copy of our ghosts. The alliance decided that I will lead the team after the passage appears..."

"please!"

Fujiwara Saiji gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of the ghost knight.

"Please let me join the team, I..."

"Don't you understand?"

The ghost knight dodged and trampled Fujiwara Saiji under his feet.

"It's really in the way, kid! I have no interest in saving people. No one can affect my ability to pass the level, not even your mentor Kaminaga!"

…

"Hanggui" time and space.

When Xia Chuan opened his eyes, he found that he seemed to be standing in an ancient island market.

Flat and low brick and wooden houses, dirt streets, and shouting vendors.

Coarse period clothing, kimonos...the most eye-catching thing is the sword-wielding samurai wandering the streets.

If it weren't for the Daimyo Castle visible in the distance, this place would look more like a rural village long ago.

It's messy and messy, with no special filters like those seen in movies and TV series.

Is this the ancient timeline of "Hibiki"?

If I remember correctly, "Hibiki" TV seems to be in the modern world.

Shouldn't the time with the action team be staggered?

That would be troublesome.

There was no way he could wait until modern times in this copy.

Natsukawa walked out of the market street and glanced at the girl in kimono playing and singing alone on the corner of the street. After a while, she groped for civilian clothes that smelled a little bit of sweat. She didn't find half a penny, but she did find a half-eaten potato.

This time I am just an ordinary person.

"One or two times...where are we going to play...the Tenjin-sama Festival...suck!"

The girl in kimono who was humming suddenly stopped and looked straight at Xia Chuan while holding the ancient leather ball, licking the saliva from the corner of her mouth greedily.

"It looks delicious, better than ghosts."

"call!"

Natsukawa turned around to meet the gaze of the girl in kimono, and his petite and cute face turned into a ferocious white-headed devil.

The strength of the demonized demon is not low.

At least it's much more advanced than that demonized spider.

"Hey, Kaminaga!"

A middle-aged man dressed as a Buddhist monk walked out of the noodle shop and stopped Xia Chuan, who was behaving strangely, in confusion.

"Come here to eat first. I will teach you how to practice ghosts when you go back later. If you want to become a powerful ghost, it is also important to have a full stomach."

"ghost?"

When Xia Chuan looked at the street corner again, he could no longer find the kimono girl, so he could only follow the mage into the noodle shop first.

He is an ordinary person, but not entirely an ordinary person.

After following the master from the market back to the practice temple, Xia Chuan finally figured out his situation.

Because of the existence of demonized monsters, some people give up their human identity and become "ghosts" through arduous practice, and rely on the power of "ghosts" to eliminate demonized monsters.

It's just that the power of ghosts will bring great burdens and even erode people's hearts. Coupled with frequent injuries in battles, each generation of ghosts will cultivate their own successors.

And he is now the apprentice of one of the "ghosts" and the chosen next generation of "frozen ghosts".

Frozen Ghost is the name of this mage, and it is also the posture after transformation.

"Buzz!"

While the mage was away, Xia Chuan picked up the transformation tuning fork, looked at it, and gently touched it to his forehead.

There was indeed a strange force that reverberated along the tuning fork, but it was automatically dissipated and rebounded before it got close to him, and it failed to cause any reaction for a while.

It stands to reason that the ghost knight transforms through these sounds, but there was no movement when he came here.

He has the body-changing physique of a full knight, but he can't change his body.

Not a knight system?

Xia Chuan checked the tuning fork in his hand again.

"It's still early for you," the Master laughed outside the door. "There is no shortcut to becoming a ghost. I practiced for a year before I could barely transform."
