My fish pond is not limited to the world of magic

Although he was puzzled, Hoshide Kazuya went up to greet the four of them.After all, everyone will go into the warehouse to participate in the "feast" together later, so there is nothing wrong with getting to know each other better in advance.

But among the four on the opposite side, three of them seemed to have no such idea.

"Those things will 'invite' Zhongya to come, which is enough to prove that their IQ is terribly low."

"Huh? Who are you mocking, you bastard mackerel?"

"Ah, the brain capacity of slugs is really small."

Two of them were sparing no effort to bicker.

The other just stuffed a piece of thick pastry into his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and savored the delicious food without paying any attention to the surrounding situation.

Only the last one, Mr. Vongola's godfather, was polite and well-behaved. Seeing his gaze, he smiled gently as a greeting.

Although he heard Edogawa Conan say who this person is, Hoshide Kazuya still pretended not to know each other.He smiled back, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hi, it's the first time I meet you. My name is Hoshide Kazuya."

"Hello, my name is Tsunayoshi Sawada, please give me your advice." The young man responded gently.

"Why did Mr. Sawada come here? Was he also invited?" Hoshide Kazuya asked.

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "I was invited, but more importantly, I wanted to find someone."

"Looking for someone? I might be able to help. Mr. Sawada, would you mind telling me who you are looking for?" Hoshide Kazuya looked at him, his expression unchanged, but his heart became vigilant.

He was invited by those curse spirits to attend this "banquet", and said that he came here mainly to find someone.It wouldn't be him that Tsunayoshi Sawada was looking for, right?

He looked at the man, and a thought came to his mind.

Sawada Tsunayoshi still just smiled shallowly, he was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by the man standing next to Hoshide Kazuya.

Gojo Satoru put his hand on Hoshide Kazuya's shoulder, looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi, and said, "You don't need to ask him, he doesn't know many people."

Hoshide Kazuya: "..." Although, it just makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

The remaining three also joined in. Amuro Toru and Edogawa Conan looked at the other four invitees with vigilance, especially at two of them - Nakahara Chuya and Sawada Tsunayoshi.

Xing Chuhe also naturally knew the reason, but he had no choice but to smile helplessly.In this case, it is almost impossible for the two parties to get along well.

Nakahara Chuya and Sawada Tsunayoshi could naturally feel the vigilance of the two people opposite them, so the atmosphere at the scene became more dignified.Out of the nine people, only Edogawa Ranpo remained as if he remained aloof.He was still eating the thick snack with his head down, looking a little eager, as if he was grabbing the last bit of time to eat two more bites.

Xing Chuhe was also silent in the anxious atmosphere.He looked down at the time, and tentatively said, "It's almost twenty, there shouldn't be anyone else coming at this time, right? Or we... go in first?" No matter what bad things happen in the red brick warehouse, In short, he didn't want to continue to experience the current atmosphere.

The other eight people had no objection, and they stepped into the cordon circled by the port mafia one after another, and walked towards the red brick warehouse together.There is still a distance of about 100 meters from the cordon to the main body of the warehouse.They went all the way until they stood at the door of the warehouse, and nothing happened.The whole place was surprisingly quiet, like the calm before the storm.

Hoshide Kazuya also vaguely felt that something was wrong, secretly clenched his fists, and glanced at Gojo Satoru beside him.Gojo Gojo happened to be looking at him too. He patted his head, took off his sunglasses, and was about to say something when Nakahara Nakahara pushed open the door of the warehouse.

As a result, the world instantly fell up and down, compressed, and then fell into darkness, and consciousness disappeared in silence.

Hoshide Kazuya opened his eyes again, and found himself lying on the podium in a classroom.His mind was dizzy, as if he had forgotten something, but his consciousness told him that this was just a normal phenomenon of participating in the team battle royale game.He patted his head, put the uncomfortable feeling aside, and looked around.

This is a very ordinary classroom, with [-] sets of desks and chairs placed individually, a walking white wall watch on the back wall of the classroom, and unique paintings on the back blackboard, with clear lines and exquisite workmanship.On the ground below the blackboard...

A boy is lying down.He was about the same age as him, with dark hair and dark complexion. He was wearing a tracksuit and had a white baseball cap by his hand.It looked inexplicably familiar.

Xingchuhe also frowned, instead of stepping forward, he glanced at his wrist.There was a clear feeling of falling from the wrist of his left hand. He didn't usually wear a watch, so there must be something on his wrist—the moment he saw the boy.

A silver electronic watch.It looks like a watch, but...

He turned his wrist to make sure that the watch that appeared suddenly could not be taken off, and lightly touched the dark electronic screen.The screen lit up, and four lines of words appeared on it.

teammate:

Heiji Hattori

unknown

Number remaining: 9/9

A team escape game for nine people, in groups of three, the "game map" is probably the school they are in now.As for the one lying in the back, it must be his teammate "Hattori Heiji" displayed on the electronic screen.

In this living environment, each player must be extremely vigilant.Hoshide Kazuya glanced at the podium, took out a piece of chalk, and threw it at the boy lying there.

Waking up the other party in this way is the safest way he can think of so far.However, the boy seemed to be in a deep sleep. After being hit by him with chalk, he just moaned, scratched the cheek that was hit, and continued to sleep.

Hoshide Kazuya: "..." This kind of player is really beyond his expectations.Hattori Heiji was probably the first one he saw who could still sleep soundly in the escape game.

Huh?

He froze for a moment and frowned slightly.

Why did he feel... Hattori Heiji was the first?How did this "game" tamper with his memory?

The loudspeaker in front of the classroom suddenly made a murmur, followed by a long, piercing sound, as if it wanted to pierce the listener's ears directly.Hoshide Kazuya also dodged to one side, covered his ears, and stared up at the boy in the back row.

In this case, if this person doesn't wake up again, it will be a big problem-then it's hard to say whether he can wake up or not.The death of a teammate at the beginning is not a good sign.

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not happen.The boy quickly got up amidst the sharp voice, covered his ears with his hands, with a look of displeasure at being woken up from his sleep, he raised his head and looked forward with grinning teeth, and unexpectedly collided with Hoshide Kazuya's eyes.

The next second, he suddenly jumped up from the ground, still covering his ears with his hands, staring at Hoshide Kazuya, frowning, and raised his voice and asked, "Who are you?"

Very recognizable Kansai accent.

Hoshide Kazuya also raised his eyebrows, did not speak, pointed to the electronic watch on his wrist, and signaled the other party to watch it for himself.

He is not interested in explaining to others at the top of his voice in such a noisy and chaotic environment.But judging from this person's reaction, their information seems to be inconsistent.Is it the first time to participate in the "escape game" rookie?It would be difficult for him to bring newcomers.

If he came to bring newcomers, then he could only be like when he was brought...

Uh... that?What is it like?Who brought him back then?

Xing Chuhe also touched his chin, and the doubts and confusion in his heart became more and more obvious.He had a vague feeling that this time, the game seemed to have cleared some very important memories to him.

But now he can't remember at all, so he can only try to find clues during the game to see if he can remember something.

After poking his electronic watch a few times, the boy in the back row showed an expression of sudden realization, and walked towards the podium against the increasingly harsh voice.Xingdehe also shook his head at him, and walked over by himself.He quickened his pace and met the person at the back of the classroom.

In such a small space, with such a loud noise, the distance of a few meters didn't work at all. He pressed his ears, then his temples which were throbbing non-stop, and pointed to the back door of the classroom in the boy's sight.

—Go out and have a look?

The noise was too loud. Even at the current distance, two people had to shout to make sure the other could hear clearly. As for getting closer...no one dared.Two meters, a position almost close to the boundary of the safe distance.Even if they are sure that the other party is a teammate, this distance cannot be broken casually.

After all, he can be sure that the two of them are definitely teammates in this game, but for this person named "Hattori Heiji", everything is still unknown.He probably doesn't even trust the electronic watch bound to the game, let alone his "assigned teammate".

Hattori Heiji nodded without any doubt, turned around and walked to the back door.Hoshide Kazuya raised his eyebrows and nodded in satisfaction.

This newcomer is quite smart and nice, so he doesn't need to waste his time explaining too many things.

He looked down at the electronic watch again, and the number of survivors was still nine.There is no "running away" in this game.No killing is allowed until the bell is over.It seems that at least every team has a person who understands the rules.

Hmm... that's actually kind of tricky.Because, it is not easy to lie.Teams of pure rookies are usually very easy to deceive.Such a "game configuration" where old players bring newcomers, if you want to win to the end, it will take a lot of effort.

Hattori Heiji had already walked to the door and pressed the handle.After a moment, he turned around, spread his hands, and shrugged.

The door won't open.

Xingchuhe also glanced at the loudspeaker in the upper right corner of the classroom. The top of the loudspeaker was lit with a red light, flashing and flashing five times. , which means, warn once.

He raised his eyebrows and walked over to Hattori Heiji.

Not allowing them to leave also led to a "warning", which means that this classroom is their "safe house". Before the "game" officially starts, all players are not allowed to leave the safe house.

So here comes the problem.Where did the third person in their team go?It's kind of weird that a teammate isn't in your team's safe house when the game is about to start.This game finally has a bug this time?Then it accidentally scooped up a terrible newcomer, just loading a game, it can get stuck out of bugs.

Kind of looking forward to it.

He waved at Hattori Heiji, who was looking over, to signal this person not to try again.Endure the sound for a while, and wait for the ringtone to pass before they discuss other matters.

After waiting for a while, Xingchuhe also suddenly felt his screen light up.He immediately lowered his head and looked at the place where "unknown" had always been displayed, and now a name slowly emerged.

——Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro?

Xingchuhe also stared at the name for a few seconds, feeling a sense of disobedience in his heart.

Why is it "Amuro Toru"?He thought it would be...

Eh?

He froze again, with a dazed expression, and grabbed his wrist.

Who did he think it was?Does anyone make him feel that it must be able to cause game bugs?

The ear-piercing sound disappeared just at this second, and the world fell silent instantly, so quiet that it made people feel uncomfortable, as if the movement just now echoed in my ears.He rubbed the roots of his ears, and instantly put his feelings behind him, turned to look at Hattori Heiji, and nodded slightly to him, "Hello, Hoshide Kazuya. First time here?"

"Ah? Ah." Hattori Heiji was still a little dazed, blinked, looked around, and suddenly remembered something, picked up the baseball cap that had been lying on the ground, patted it in the air, and put it back on. Go up, look up at the brim of the hat, straighten it.

"Do I need to explain the rules of the game to you?" Hoshide Kazuya asked.

Hattori Heiji waved his hand, pointed to his pocket watch, and said, "No, no, it's all here."

Hoshide and also nodded.Got it, new info - the "game interface" is different for old and new players.Probably not, though.Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a person to see another player's "personal interface", not only the other party will block you, but you will also subconsciously avoid it.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know why the third person is not here?"

Hattori Heiji grabbed his hat, looked at him very suspiciously, and said, "We didn't find him."

A natural tone, as if the person who asked this question was an idiot.

Hoshide Kazuya: "..."

Hattori Heiji asked: "Aren't you a veteran?"

Xingdehe also blinked, with a little embarrassment on his face, and said, "Ah, I haven't played for a long time."

Haven't played for a long time.

He narrowed his eyes, savoring his words again.

I haven't played for a long time, so how long is this "long time"?Why does he have no memory of the time and experience of his last participation in the game?

Is the "game" clearing memory so thoroughly?

He pursed his lips and pressed his temple.

He always felt that he had overlooked some very important information, as long as he grasped that bit of information, all his confusion would be easily resolved.But what is that bit of information?

no idea.

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Hattori Heiji leaned over and put his hand on his shoulder.

Hoshide Kazuya opened his hand abruptly like a conditioned reflex, took a step back, and widened the distance between the two of them again.

Hattori Heiji froze for a moment, looked at him blankly, his right hand was awkwardly hanging in the air.

Xingdehe also lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "Sorry, don't get so close until you are sure whether there is a threat to each other."

He raised his eyes, looked at Hattori Heiji, smiled, and said, "Is this information that won't be in the 'Newcomer Handbook'?"

"But we are not teammates anymore, what threat can there be?" Hattori Heiji shrugged inexplicably, shook his wrist, and the silver watch slid across the field of vision, "It's all said above, teammates cannot attack each other."

He paused, looked around Hoshide Kazuya suspiciously, and asked, "Are you really a veteran? Why do you look like you don't know anything?"

Hoshide Kazuya: "...I said I haven't participated in it for a long time." It's embarrassing now, very embarrassing.

"It's okay." Hattori Heiji extended his hand very generously, and patted him on the shoulder twice, "I understand."

Hoshide Kazuya cleared his throat and decided to change the subject, so he became serious, raised his chin toward the door, and asked, "Going out?"

Hattori Heiji nodded, pressed the handle, paused suddenly, and looked back at him.

Xingchuhe also frowned, and asked each other with his eyes: Is there something going on outside?

Hattori Heiji looked serious, frowned, and said, "I think this 'game' is not quite right."

Hoshide Kazu also raised his eyebrows and said, "Yeah, something's not quite right."

Hattori Heiji: "Eh? You know?"

Xingchuhe didn't answer either, but walked to the door and glanced outside to make sure there was nothing unusual, then stepped back, sat on a chair near the door, and asked him, "What do you think is wrong?"

"I suspect... this is not a 'game' at all." Hattori Heiji said seriously, "This is probably a fight between people under the guise of a 'game'."

"This is against the law and we should get out of here and catch the perpetrators and bring them to justice."

Xingdehe also listened to his words, hooked the corners of his mouth, clapped his hands perfunctorily, and said, "The analysis is good, is there any more?"

Hattori Heiji frowned, walked up to him, put one hand on the table, and looked down at him, "You know? Then why didn't you expose them? Instead, you came back here again?"

"Since your analysis is so thorough, why don't you think that the creator of this 'game' might not be human at all?" He raised his head and looked at the boy. With a slightly mocking tone, "Oh, yes, I forgot, you detectives are typical atheists."

After saying this, Hattori Heiji didn't respond, but he himself froze for a moment, and frowned again in confusion.

"You detectives".Where did he come up with this concept?

"Not human? What is that?"

"I don't know, but this 'game', if you keep playing, you will always know."

"But before that," Hoshide Kazuya avoided Hattori Heiji's body and stood up, "Let's think about how to survive."

"We can work together with the other two teams to find a solution, there is no need to fight each other."

"Well said," Hoshide Kazuya applauded again, and opened the door in front of him, "but the premise is that you have to be able to persuade..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped, took half a step back, and looked at the man who suddenly appeared at the door.

Wheat-colored skin, pale blond hair, purple-gray eyes, pursed lips, looking at him seriously.Hoshide Kazuya and him looked at each other for two seconds, looking down at his body, and looked at the man from head to toe.

He has been exercising all year round, and he may even be a soldier or a policeman. The man in his early twenties in front of him is in excellent shape.

He closed his eyes, took another half step back, and let the man into the room.

The slight vibration from the watch was enough for him to confirm that this man who suddenly appeared was the third in their team.

Amuro Toru, a man who made him... very interested.

Star out and also licked his lips.

If they met outside, if he met this person first, then he would be happy to have a wonderful relationship with him.

This man looks very in line with his aesthetics.

"Hello, Hoshide Kazuya." He blinked and stretched out his hand first.

"Amuro Toru." The man quickly shook hands with him, almost leaving immediately, then turned to Hattori Heiji who was standing aside, smiled at him, and said, "I was outside just now and heard your analysis gone."

Hattori Heiji was taken aback for a moment, and responded twice, as if he didn't quite understand what he meant.

Toru Amuro: "I think your proposal is feasible. We can try to communicate with the other two teams, break this 'game' together, and catch those people hiding behind the scenes."

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up, he clapped Amuro Toru with his backhand, and said with a smile, "Right! Sure enough, you think so too."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Hoshide Kazuya, "Look, you just stayed here for too long, and your thinking has solidified."

Hoshide Kazuya: "..." Didn't you just wonder if I've been here before?

"Okay, okay," he shrugged helplessly and waved his hands, "Just do what you say, and see if your ideas can be realized."

"But before that, you have to have the capital to negotiate with others, right?" He glanced at the two of them, then looked down at his watch, "In this situation where you are unarmed and don't even have a basic survival resource , is not suitable for such a big thing that destroys the game."

The rhythm of this escape game seems to be abnormally fast.In less than 10 minutes after the start, someone died.He stared at the bright number "8" on the electronic screen, pursed his lips, and fell silent.

The other two teams have already met?They met and clashed in the first 10 minutes of the game. This kind of rhythm should not be able to be played by a team with veteran players.On the contrary, it was more like... three rookies with strong military value were reckless, and happened to meet another team, and then directly had a direct confrontation, and... almost instantly killed a member of the other team.

If this is the case, then the vision of his two teammates may not be very easy to realize.

"Has someone already lost their vital signs?" Toru Amuro muttered to himself, frowning when he realized this question.

"Yeah." Hoshide Kazuya shook his arms, his sleeves hung down to cover his watch, and he raised his eyes to look at the two of them in turn, "So—" Your expectations are about to be dashed.

"We have to leave as soon as possible." Toru Amuro interrupted him.

Hoshide Kazuya: "..." That's right, in his extremely vague memory cleared by the game, the detective seems to have the characteristic of "blind optimism".

"Okay, don't worry." Hattori Heiji carelessly stretched out his arms, and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, with a friendly and natural gesture, "Isn't it because of you, you are familiar with this 'game', we rely on you!"

Hoshiide Kazuya's expression changed for a while, and finally fixed on helplessness. He sighed, turned sideways, avoided Hattori Heiji's hand, and said, "Then follow me to the canteen."

"The commissary?"

Hoshide Kazuya raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked at Hattori Heiji, and asked: "The holy place on campus, the place where heaven and nightmare meet, don't you know?"

Hattori Heiji: "Huh?"

"You'll know when you get there." Hoshide Kazuya shrugged, opened the door and walked out, "Choose materials and weapons at will, just don't spend all the initial points."

"Oh yes, there are more." He thought for a while, then turned around and added, "Given the special nature of the commissary, we are very likely to meet other teams on the way, pay attention to this."

"What should I do if I encounter it?" Toru Amuro asked.

Xing Chuhe also touched his watch through his clothes, "Count the heads, talk with two people, and run away with three people."

Having said that, he naturally didn't want the two sides to meet each other.But Murphy's Law was probably at work. They followed the map they found in the classroom and took the shortest route to the canteen. Before they could see the store door, three people came in front of them.

A young man with red hair in a hat, a young man with a burning head, a young man with bandages all over his body.

The three stood in a row and walked slowly.

It was the team that lost the opponent in seconds.

Hoshide Kazuya's expression froze, and he immediately tugged the sleeves of the two people on the left and right secretly, and said in a low voice, "Run."

Hattori Heiji and Amuro Toru immediately understood, and the three turned and ran away at the same time.Both sides were three-on-three, and there was no point in running separately. The three of them turned around and turned left in unison, and ran to the cafeteria not far away.

"Go around to the woods, don't go in, there may be someone." Hoshide Kazuya said briefly.

Throwing it a distance, he slowed down a little, looked back, and then was taken aback.

There was no one behind, and the three of them seemed to have no intention of catching up.

Why?He frowned, a little puzzled, and then felt his sleeves being gently pulled by the people around him.

"Front." Hattori Heiji whispered.

Hoshide Kazuya's pupils dilated, and he suddenly turned his head to look forward.

Going around to the front?These three people act like this——

Seeing the three people in front of him clearly, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes opened even wider.

A tall white-haired young man, a young man in a beret, and an elementary school student in a blue suit.

It was three people who were completely different from before.

Another team?Also three people?How can it be?

He frowned and looked down at his watch.

The distinct "8" suddenly became a little more funny and ironic at this time.

Then, he watched helplessly as the number "8" jumped in front of his eyes and became "7".

Hoshide Kazuya: ? ? ?

"Yo." The white-haired young man raised his hand and greeted him.

The author has something to say: - Count heads, two talk, three run.

- What if there are all three?

- died in situ.
