Does playing games for too long make you hallucinate

Time flew and Tokiwa Sōgo had stayed in the village for a year... Even Tokiwa Sōgo himself also found it funny, that he had been living in the village for a year now, however, he still didn't know all of his neighbors. The only few people that he was kind of familiar with were those aunties that were selling the braised meat on the street.

After all, he could stop talking to everyone, but he couldn't stop eating and on top of that, there ware a beautiful maid who serve him every day. His everyday meals weren't that great, just some simple dishes, but they unexpectedly taste good. More than enough for him.

He often jokes by saying, "What bad things might happen to you, for example? like, suddenly hearing a voice from the sky saying, "you are the chosen one!?" Just when he thought that he might live like this for the rest of his life, something unexpected happened in his life.

***

Waking up to the bright sunlight outside his window, it was going to be another wonderful day. He was thinking about carrying on the unfinished in-game mission that he had left yesterday - leveling up his rank. 'If I try harder, I might be able to reach Mythic rank today,' he thought.

"Request to back up!!"

"Wait!! I need to kill Tigreal, He'll die after one more hit!"

"I need to face four enemy heroes. What are you doing?"

"Do not bother to fight again, Popol push the turret!"

"The opponent's monkey pushed to our base turret, how can you still not go home?"

"Boom~"

The crystal center of the home exploded, and the Phone screen presented a big "Defeat" word.

"Relly, I met a group of pig teammates! how can I become mythic level if I get stupid teammates in every match? Popol isn't lying when he said " "*yawns* You know what? Carrying four fools to victory isn't easy."

Sōugo rubbed his temples in annoyance. Today he played five MLBB matches. He got pig teammates and lost all five games. He reports and blocks a dozen people.

What good luck he has.

"This is indeed summer vacation, Are all primary school students playing games?"

Sōugo turned off his phone and shook his head. He realize that this was Sunday and he had played with primary school students. His game experience was extremely poor. Sōugo Takes out his newly purchased Aurora Color Sony K5-42 mobile phone, lays on the rattan wooden chair, plays the mobile game "Honkai Impact 3", and operates his favorite 2-D wife's, killing a wave of monsters.

Sōugo, looks handsome, a man, who loves games and anime, but he prefers to call himself an "Otaku." He has set up a lot of animation-related items, such as Akeno, Asuna, Ram, Fujiwara Chika, and Kato. His computer wallpaper was Akeno Himajime. But for sure, he would not buy a Pillow printed Kitagawa Karin image or printed king Saber's T-shirt.

Sōugo wouldn't be stupid enough to call them "Waifu". Sōugo's family is good, His Dad is a researcher, a professor at the state university, and has several patents in his hands. His mother is a researcher, an owner of a pharmaceutical company, not very big but quite respected in her field. Not to mention his grandfather, he already doesn't know where his grandfather's wealth comes from. but the inheritance that became his share was enough to allow him to laze around until he had grandchildren….

Sōugo put down his mobile phone, licked his sore eyes, and felt bloating. He put the phone aside and walked toward the bathroom. The bathroom is matched with the bedroom, and the toilet is very convenient.

"Fuuuuuuuck…"

Sōugo woke up, sat up, and rubbed his painful head with his right hand…

He was sure that the bathroom was there a few hours ago, he was there to take a shower this morning and there was nothing wrong there. After rubbing for a while, Sōugo became awake. Then he noticed the surrounding environment, not by the bed he was familiar with, but on the side of a road.

　　 Sōugo was agitated, so he was sober, and quickly checked himself. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his clothes were still tidy, all on him, nothing special happened. He was not "picked up" by anyone. Don't think that only women will be "picked up", some special groups of people will not let go even men.

　　"What is this? Does playing games for too long make you hallucinate"

Sōugo took a few eyes and fixed his eyes. The translucent suspension aperture was still there.

"The door to different time and space, or ... a prank, the purpose is to engage in a prank with me?"

But, April Fool's Day has already passed. Sōugo stood up, looked around, and was about to find a shortcut back to his house. He was muddy now, he just wanted to take a good bath and then sleep.

"Huh? Strange, where is this place?"

Although Sōugo rarely leaves his house, he has lived in Kyoto since childhood. Although he lived in Tokyo for several years. But, at least he still knows the area around Kyoto like his palm.

On this road, there are only a few cars parked on the side of the road, which seem to be out of his familiar range. He took out his domestic mobile phone, opened the map, and began to find his location.

'The network is abnormal, please check the network settings.'

Strange, why is there no internet? Sōugo checked the network settings, and they were all turned on. Without further investigation, he continued to check his location.

His location is shown on the map. It is on Shichijou Road. He knows that Shichijou Road belongs to a highway on the outskirts of Kyoto. It is about ten kilometers away from his house. The only thing that was found in his pocket was his cellphone. Unfortunately, this is Kyoto, people love cash here. His only option is to call Youko to pick him up or walk home.

Isn't it a prank? Sōugo took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Youko, but found that the mobile phone not only has no network signal. He just wants Youko to pick him up. But think about it, it takes only ten kilometers. It'll at least takes two hours by walk.

Don't underestimate him, even though he is an otaku he is strong. He is a rare creature even among otaku. He is an otaku who has good physical fitness. He is a martial art expert.

Sōugo walked along Shichijou Road into the city. It may be because of the early morning. Sōugo found that he had been walking for half an hour without seeing a vehicle passing by on the road.

His hope of hitchhiking fell through. On the way, he found a strange thing. On Shichijou Road, He saw several car accidents. Those cars were covered with dust and seemed to stay in the middle of the road for a long time.

In Sōugo's impression, after a car accident, there will be traffic police coming over soon. But within half an hour of walking, he saw a car accident. At the scene of the car accident, there was not only broken wreckage, but he seemed to have noticed some bones beside the car.

He looked at it from a distance and left. Sōugo continued to walk along Shichijou Road. He found that the road was originally empty, and the traffic gradually increased. And those weird car accidents have also increased, which made Sōugo's heart vigilant. What happened?

　　 vehicles, it has not been cleaned for several years.

After walking for another ten minutes, Sōugo found that the vehicles in front of him were already densely packed. Various broken vehicles filled the road. Some cars were still driving into the fields on both sides, and there was no place to step in front of him. He can only step on these cars.

　　 Is there someone over there?

When Sōugo was hesitating whether to continue walking forward or back, he found that a group of people in tattered clothes were squatting in the rice field on the side of the road, grabbing something and stuffing it in their mouths, because they were back to Sōugo's, Sōugo can only see their backs.

Sōugo was very happy to see someone showing up and finally could ask them what happened here. Just before he could speak, the group of people seemed to realize Sōugo's arrival, and they all ran like crazy. When the group of people turned around, Sōugo saw the opponent's face clearly and was shocked.

WTF… what was that? Zombie? The group of people who ran over was just like the bost monster zombies in Resident Evil Movie. That zombie had just turned their backs on Sōugo, and he hadn't thought about it yet.

　　 Sōugo saw the zombie chasing him and ran away. This wave of zombies' movements seemed to activate the zombies in this world. Originally, in the empty fields on the side of the road, many zombies appeared, and they began to run in the direction of Sōugo. The zombies ran very fast. After a while, the zombies had already chased the road and gradually formed a circle of Sōugo.

"WTF. I don't want to die. I want to go home."

Sōugo looked at the approaching zombies and couldn't help but roar. When Sōugo finished saying "I want to go home", he only felt the world spin. Dazzled, he hear someone talking in his ear.

"Comrade, wake up, can you hear me?"

Am I dead? Sōugo opened his eyes and saw a woman with a nice face, shouting and pressing Sōugo's people.

"Zombie...Zombie." Sōugo shouted.

"What zombies, Don't play games too much. You'll have hallucinations when you play games too much." The policewoman hit Sōugo's head. A passing policewoman found Sōugo who had fainted halfway and immediately carried out an emergency rescue.

　　 "Illusion? Then this illusion is too real." Sōugo felt extremely real about the scene that had just been chased by zombies, not at all like an illusion.

"It must be an illusion. Are you okay? Go back and take a good rest. Don't play games all night." The policewoman, seeing Sōugo feel much better, advises him to stop playing games.

"Thank you, police-san."

Sōugo sincerely apologized to the policewoman. She had saved him. The place where Sōugo woke up was also on the side of the road, but this time it was not on Shichijou, but near his house.

Sōugo was cautious for fear that he would encounter zombies. He returned to the dormitory unharmed as if all he had faced on Shichijou Road were hallucinations. However, when he returned to take a shower, he knew that the zombies were not his hallucinations, but existed.

when he entered the door of his house, he met Youko who was cleaning the living room. Sōugo

"Ah, Sōugo-sama, Okaerinasai. Where have…?"

Youko immediately stopped asking after seeing Sōugo's sour expression. She didn't know what had happened to him. But, she could guess that Sōugo must have been through something terrible.

"Youko, Youko cover me"

Seeing Sōugo's trembling body Youko became even more confident in her guess. Youko pull Sōugo inside, covered him, and then hugged him.

"It's okay Sōugo-sama, I'm here…"
