Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Sorry, Times Have Changed
Yotsuya Miko is an ordinary high school girl living with her mother and younger brother, while her father died in an accident.
One day, she suddenly began seeing various monsters in the world.
From that day on, she lived in fear every day until today.
"Isn't this a dream?"
Yotsuya Miko touched the pistol in her hand.
She still remembered the content of the Resident Evil DLC game. Although she didn't finish it, the golden symbols along the way helped her a lot. She killed many enemies with this pistol.
Under the guidance of this golden font, she mastered a special power that could make the monster's body pause or even disappear.
Back in reality, she thought it was all a dream, all fake.
But when she saw the ghost in the quilt and almost instinctively took out the pistol and shot, she realized that it was all real.
"Sister? What's wrong? Why do I hear strange noises?"
"There were bugs, but I killed them."
"Okay."
When she heard no sound outside, Yotsuya Miko breathed a sigh of relief. But when she saw the indescribable monster on the ceiling again, her fear disappeared.
"Sorry, times have changed."
She took out her gun and fired several shots, but no bullets came out.
"???"
It was then that she noticed she only had four bullets left in the game, and she had used them all up just now.
"You saw me, you saw me!"
The vengeful spirit flew towards Yotsuya Miko excitedly, thinking it could have a full meal.
Just when it thought it had her, Yotsuya Miko suddenly raised her hand, and white lines appeared on her body, with white light on her hand.
In the DLC of Resident Evil 8, Rose's special power could destroy consciousness in the consciousness world, and in reality, it had a miraculous effect on these monsters.
The vengeful spirits in Yotsuya Miko's home were not strong, and the power she just mastered could destroy the one on the roof.
"So tired..."
Using this power in real life felt exhausting.
"So hungry..."
Even in the game, you needed to eat herbs to use this power. In reality, there were no herbs, and it was completely replaced by the user's physical strength.
At the dining table, Yotsuya Miko's brother and mother were stunned to see her eating so much.
"Sister? Are you heartbroken?"
"Huh?"
Yotsuya Miko was stunned.
"Heartbroken? I'm not in a relationship."
"Then why are you eating so much?"
"I'm just very hungry... ahem, I just want to eat more. Oh, it's getting late, I need to go to school."
Yotsuya Miko hurriedly changed the subject and went to school in a rush after eating a large piece of bread.
The gun had no bullets, and her ability required a lot of physical strength, which prevented Yotsuya Miko from using her power recklessly. Even if the gun had bullets, she wouldn't dare use it openly on the street. She didn't know if the ghosts would be destroyed, but she would definitely get into trouble.
"Very good!"
Yotsuya Miko patted her face. She originally felt that the future was full of despair, but now she felt that the future was full of hope. She even looked at the ghosts beside her, and they seemed cute.
The ghost with eight heads beside her looked at Yotsuya Miko in confusion. It wanted to ask, "Can you see me?"
But would anyone smile so happily when seeing a ghost?
Ghosts also choose their targets—the weak, the timid, the resentful, and people created by other ghosts.
But they dare not provoke those who look happy and even want to hold hands with ghosts.
After all, there are many special beings in this world, and you can't provoke them confidently!
It takes only one day to deal with these ghosts. This made Yotsuya Miko consider whether to continue going to the Internet café. The consumption level of this Internet café was too high for her.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of her heart.
She wanted to turn her head to see what happened, but her body stopped her. She walked forward as she did before, and when she reached the traffic light, she saw an unforgettable scene.
A huge black ghost, walking on four limbs, moved slowly on the street. Every time it moved, it devoured the weak ghosts around it that seemed to have just been born, while stronger ghosts fled in all directions.
This was a terrifying existence she had never seen before.
At this moment, she finally understood why she sometimes encountered very clean situations after gaining the ability to see spirits.
It wasn't that the surroundings were clean, but that there were things around so terrifying that her Eyes couldn't see them. Now she had the ability to deal with little ghosts, but this big guy...
Yotsuya Miko swallowed nervously. She didn't dare to look at this big guy at all. She just waited for the traffic light silently. When the light turned green, she followed other pedestrians and walked across the road expressionlessly, completely ignoring the ghost.
No, Yotsuya Miko felt that this ghost was more terrifying than any she had ever encountered.
"Huh..."
After making sure she was safe, Yotsuya Miko relaxed.
"No! This won't work. I still need to go to the Internet café. I need money, lots and lots of money..."
Yotsuya Miko was sure of one thing. She did have the ability to deal with these evil spirits, but the ones she met were even more terrifying. If she wanted to survive, she had to gain more power at the Internet café.
Gaining power required money, but where would she get the money?
She remembered Liu Yuan's suggestion to exorcise ghosts for money. If there were demons and ghosts, getting rid of spirits would indeed be very profitable, but her gun had run out of bullets.
At this time, she noticed the items in the player mall. She curiously opened the mall and saw the bullets she had been thinking about.
The bullets made and sold by Schwi were the most traded items in the player mall after grain. One pound of rice and flour could be exchanged for three shuttles, and it could be traded by barter or money. She needed to see if it was appropriate to exchange with grain or buy directly with money.
Now Yotsuya Miko was very poor. Not to mention going online tomorrow, she might not even be able to buy lunch. When buying bullets, she had to compare prices and find the cheapest way.
According to Yotsuya Miko, her weapons did not need special bullets. As long as any bullets could be loaded, they would cause damage to the spirits when fired.
However, the system also specifically marked that if ordinary bullets were used and missed the spirits but hit people, they would cause the same damage to people.
This forced Yotsuya Miko to be cautious in using firearms. Miko was still a rookie. Unless she was alone in a closed environment, she couldn't use firearms well.
However...
Yotsuya Miko looked at the time. There was still more than half an hour before class. She remembered there was a convenience store on the way to school. Convenience stores should have food, right?
She slapped her face. These ghosts were very scary, but as long as there was firepower...
"Can you see me?"
The sudden appearance of the human-like ghost startled Yotsuya Miko. Her brain was a little out of order. She didn't know whether to exorcise the ghost on the street or pretend not to see it.
However, at that moment, a white-haired man with a blindfold suddenly appeared in front of her.
"You can see it, right?"
"!!!"
Yotsuya Miko didn't dare to answer. She didn't know whether the person in front of her was a human or a ghost.
But soon, she was sure that the other party was a person. She pretended that she saw nothing and prepared to leave.
