There must be something wrong with my krypton game

Yokohama at night is a completely different city from daytime.

Oda Sakunosuke has wandered on both sides of the city countless times, returning to the empty rental house late at night, filling his stomach with damp snacks, like a dormant hyena, waiting for the next dawn.

However, tonight was different from usual.

The room on the second floor was heated in advance to disperse the winter cold. The red-haired boy breathed out a puff of white mist in the night, holding the yellowed book page in his hand, and using an iron rod to pull down the curtain embroidered by his hair, staring intently. Stare at the words on the book.

It was a wonderful world that he had never imagined, where no one seemed to exist, but everyone seemed to exist.

He seemed to be entering the bottom of the sea for the first time, and he was completely immersed in it until there was a bang.

A soda can rolled up at the feet.

Oda Sakunosuke paused for two seconds, still bent down to pick up the can, and looked in the direction it rolled - on the reclining chair in the store, I don't know when a long-armed, long-legged, loveless White-haired youth.

Oda Sakunosuke looked up from the book, "...what are you doing?"

"Can't you see it?" Kanda Chuanyu held up the empty can and toasted him from the air, "Use wine to drown your sorrows."

Oda Sakunosuke lowered his head, looked at the words on the can, and fell silent.

With rice cake and red bean soup?

Oda is not a very good listener, at best he is a cold observer.

Staying out of it makes people feel that even if the world line changes, he is definitely the only one who still stands still.

The red-haired boy didn't even comment on this outrageous behavior. He just walked to the stairs silently with a book in his hand, sat down and continued to read.

Kanda Chuanyu tilted his chair up, and raised his head to reach the handrail of the stairs, "What are you looking at?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "The first volume of Natsume Soseki's Light and Darkness."

Kandagawa Yu curled his lips, "Didn't you finish watching?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "Look at it a second time."

"Hey—" the young man dragged his voice in dissatisfaction, "Don't you want to comfort me?"

Oda Sakunosuke turned back a page of the book: "Two sentences."

Kanda Chuanyu: "..."

With a whoosh, he took the book away from the red-haired boy's eyes, carried it behind his back, and finally returned the other side's gaze.

The boy's dark brown pupils turned around, "What are you doing?"

The white-haired young man pinched both sides of the book slowly, "Kidnapping, extorting, tearing up the ticket."

Life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten.

□□The four or five things in middle school are human-made.

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for two seconds, but still chose to give in, "How to redeem it?"

Kandagawa thought for a while, "Have you heard of 'brain in a vat'?"

If people's reactions to stimuli, impressions of the environment, and even "self" are all produced in the brain, then how do you judge whether you are living in the real world or just a human being soaked in nutrient solution by scientists? What about the brain?

Oda Sakunosuke paused, his eyes moved slightly, "What are you doing—"

Kandagawa Yu lifted the man up and patted him on the back, "Don't worry, don't worry, it won't hurt very much."

Oda Sakunosuke: ...? ? ?

He hasn't seen the second volume of "Light and Darkness", he doesn't want to die yet!

The red-haired boy tried to break free, but was pressed on the numbness by the young man in twos and twos. He was taken up to the second floor before he recovered his senses, and he opened the cabinet with a squeak.

Inside is a cabinet screen and various game consoles.

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

"Dangdang!" Kanda Chuanyu put him down and said proudly, "Didn't expect it, this is actually my secret base!"

The white-haired young man pouted his buttocks and dragged the game console out of the cabinet, coughing and fanning away the dust with his hands.

"Cough cough, cough... Come on, besides 'Brain in a Vat', I also collected a lot of limited editions from that year! Let me see..."

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

Just playing games...

Then why are you so misleading! !

Sakunosuke Oda has never played a game.

And I'm not interested in it either.

So far, in the 14 years of his life, Oda Sakunosuke has never thought about who he wants to be a partner with, or who he wants to walk side by side with.

He eats alone, sleeps alone, takes on tasks alone, and...

Kanda Chuanyu: "Eat! Eat quickly! I spit it out for you, why don't you eat!!!"

The red-haired teenager was in a cold sweat, but still insisted on a deadpan expression, "I can..."

Kanda Chuanyu: "Brother! This is a two-player game!!"

This was originally a residential building, but it was later changed to a facade. There was a refrigerator and a kitchen on the first floor. Kanda Chuanyu went downstairs to get snacks and drinks, grabbed the cupboard and called him, "Sakunosuke, what do you want to eat—"

The red-haired boy replied, "Don't call me by my name."

The white-haired young man said "Oh" and turned a deaf ear, "So, what do you eat? Potato wedges or potato chips?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "... Potato Chips."

Kanda Chuanyu: "What's the smell?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "Curry."

He paused, and added, "Spicy."

Some people are like viruses. No matter how much you don't want him to invade your life, he will come in without knowing it, and he will be frank and frank.

This feeling……

Kandagawa Yu opened a bag of spicy curry-flavored potato chips. After eating one piece, he began to cough. He picked up two pieces and sent them to the boy's mouth. Oda Sakunosuke stopped for two seconds, and still bit the potato chips.

The words Victory are displayed on the screen.

"Yeah!" Kanda Chuanyu cheered, looking down for a replacement disc, "Next level, next level..."

The red-haired boy withdrew his gaze, stroked the handle with his fingers, and pressed the "Continue" button after a long time.

It doesn't seem too bad.

The stove is baking the air in the room, withered snowflakes are falling outside the window, and the warm light reflects the shape of the window on the cold ground.

In addition to day and night, Yokohama seemed to have a third form that he had never seen before.

When the game reached the third level, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly stopped and turned off the screen and game console.

Kanda Chuanyu: ...! ? !

"! What are you doing!" The young man was playing right on top, angrily protesting loudly, "I almost passed—"

The red-haired boy was as still as a mountain, and took his handle to block between him and the game console.

Looking at him blankly.

"Did you come here because you had a fight with your brother?"

Kanda Chuanyu: "..."

Why is there such a person in this world, whose physical age is 14 years old, but whose mental age seems to be forty!

Is this scientific?Is this scientific?

Didn't he really come back from some infinite world?

Kandagawa Yu couldn't help sighing, "Sakunosuke, you are really special."

The red-haired boy replied solemnly, "I'm just an ordinary person."

Kanda Chuanyu: "Generally speaking, a killer who hits every shot is not qualified to be called ordinary, thank you."

Oda Sakunosuke was not distracted by him, and still seriously wanted to solve the problem, "Is it useless to apologize? Is he still angry with you?"

"Well, who knows..." Kandagawa Yu said vaguely.

"Hey, Sakunosuke." The young man spread his arms and lay on the ground with his head up. "Do you believe that the world in the game is real?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "Huh?"

"When I was young, I really hoped that the world of the game really existed." Kandagawa Yu recalled, "The world of the game is very simple. You can upgrade to fight monsters and get rewards for breaking through levels. It would be great if the world of the game really existed. If I could Just live in the game world forever—”

"But." He changed his tone, "But, what if it's the other way around? We're not playing the game, but the game is playing us."

"If, I mean if—is it possible."

"The world we live in itself is just a huge game?"

Oda Sakunosuke thought for a moment, then replied, "Wouldn't that be great?"

"Huh?" Kanda Chuanyu sat up and tilted his head to look at him.

"Wouldn't it be nice?" Oda Sakunosuke repeated, "if the world was one giant game and you were the player in it."

"Then you can be resurrected countless times, and then live as you want, do what you want to do, try various possibilities, and save everyone you want to save."

"...Ah." Kandagawa Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Well, you're right."

Oda Sakunosuke continued to ask, "So you are still angry?"

Kandagawa Yu shook his head, "No." He sighed, "If I have to say yes, I should be angry with myself."

Oda Sakunosuke showed a confused expression.

The white-haired young man lowered his head decadently, without saying a word, with a listless look.

Oda Sakunosuke hesitated for a moment, but moved closer, "You're fine——"

Before he finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the white-haired young man where he didn't see it, and he raised his head with a bang—and stole the handle that he had taken away with lightning speed.

Kandagawa Yu looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

Finally got through the game.

With four big dark circles under their eyes, the two of them tried their best to pass the final checkpoint—to be honest, Oda Sakunosuke never felt so tired when he stayed up all night to ambush for the assassination.

The word victory appeared on the screen, and the person next to him immediately fell down.

The red-haired boy was still in the sage time after clearing the game. After a while, when he tried to stand up, he found that his legs were numb. Keep your face deadpan.

He stood up slowly for a long time, only to realize that the person who collapsed next to him was breathing weakly and his body temperature was abnormally high.

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

Can playing games still kill people?

The young killer, who had never taken care of anyone before, appeared to be as stable as Mount Tai, but was actually at a loss. When he stood up, he almost stumbled with his left foot, "Wait, I'm going down to get the medicine now—"

There was a thin layer of snow on the ground outside the door, the faint morning light peeked out from the clouds, and the light was diffusely reflected on the snow surface, like cotton candy sandwiching fine colorful crystals.

Oda Sakunosuke opened the roller blind, and the air pouring in was still cold. Before he got into the store, he caught a glimpse of a figure behind the utility pole outside from the corner of his eye.

The auburn-haired child was wearing a scarf and gloves, with his hands in his pockets and a paper bag hanging on his wrist, his chin lifted from the scarf, and he let out a breath of white air.

"I didn't come here specifically to find that guy." He looked away and shook the paper bag hanging on his arm.

"Hey, what about you." He said impatiently, "It's so cold, why don't you ask me to go in and have a cup of tea?"
