It's time to fight each other

　　The photo suddenly changed to an animated dice, after being rolled several times, it stopped at three.

　　"Is this the number three..."

　　Chika slowly took steps.

　　At this time, Shinichi noticed that the black tiles on the ground were like a large touch screen, every time Chika stepped down, water-like ripples would appear on the surface. At the same time, on the screen, Chika's points also changed from zero to three.

　　She seemed to notice Shinichi's hesitation, and finally explained.

　　"Advancing one frame represents one point. If you haven't reached the end after reaching a hundred points, or if you die halfway, it means failure."

　　Shinichi looked around at this very large room that couldn't be seen from the outside, but it turned out to be very large inside.

　　"The grid here probably has..."

　　"About five hundred, right? So in short, the game is just about finding the final grid before the dots die."

　　It seems that when it comes to games, Chika's attitude will be very serious.

　　"The so-called living to the end also means that. If you can't find the ending, you have to die. If you find the ending and fail the final test, you still have to die."

　　Speaking of this, she sighed: "I was very lucky last time, I found the final grid after walking 37 steps, but I failed the trial, what a pity...

　　"To be honest, the randomness of this game is too high, there is no specific strategy method at all. "

　　Chika stared at the motionless floor beneath her feet.

　　"Is it safe? Then it's Asada-kun."

　　"Are you trapping me?" Shinichi got a bad feeling.

　　But it was hard to say stop at this time, so he could only continue playing.

　　"Dice."

　　After saying that, the photo was replaced by a dice, and it started shaking.

　　Finally stopped at number three.

　　"Identical..."

　　Even though there doesn't seem to be a set route in this game, and it seems like the grid throughout the house can be followed, Shinichi still walks towards Chika's position.

　　Without knowing much about the game, he planned to take it step by step and never act rashly. Chika is on the safe side, and Shinichi adapts to the game safely.

　　"I didn't expect Asada-kun to be a turtle player..."

　　Chika snorted derisively.

　　"There's no way to win a game like this. Are you here just to be my stepping stone? What a weak-willed player—ah, that hurts!"

　　"The scars have healed and the pain has been forgotten. It seems like you are the type of player who seeks death."

　　Shinichi withdrew his fingers.

　　"Stop talking nonsense, don't you want me to help you pass this level? How can we help each other in this game? Whoever finds the finish line first will win together?"

　　Hearing these words, Chika immediately smiled brightly.

　　"Very simple, as long as..."

　　Before they finished speaking, the grid beneath the two of them flashed with a dangerous red light, and at the same time, loud sirens sounded from all around.

　　"Eh?"

　　Chika was stunned: "Is this a sign of something bad happening? But why..."

　　"Bad show format?" Shinichi heard the faint sound of a machine turning, and the tiles beneath his feet shook.

　　A second before he felt weightless beneath his feet, he grabbed Chika's hand who had not yet reacted, and jumped towards the grid next to him.

　　"Wow!"

　　Shinichi didn't care about her falling beside him and turned directly to look at the grid.

　　Just like the tricks in variety shows, the real black tiles open wide from the middle to both sides, revealing a beach lit by white LED lights...

　　Lube pool?

He took a tissue out of his tote bag, crumpled it into a ball and threw it down. Sure enough, it didn't splash much, but it slowly floated on the surface.

　　Where did this project come from? If he hadn't reacted so quickly just now and made Chika fall.

Shinichi took his mind off the terrible thing, and asked the shocked Chika.

　　"How?"

　　"A terrible event grid is a grid where terrible events will occur. Last time I fell into a grate full of live octopus..."

　　She suddenly trembled, her face turned green and she covered her mouth.

　　"Even though there is water here, the disgusting taste is still there... I really don't want to remember it anymore. But the pile just..."

　　After recovering from her memories, Chika felt confused.

　　"But why, when I stood up, there was no movement! It should be a safe grid, why is it suddenly a terrible grid event?"

　　Shinichi thought for a while: "Fujiwara Senpai, is this your first time playing with other people?"

　　"Yeah, first Asada-kun... What's wrong?" Chika tilted her head in confusion.

　　"That's the difference between single player mode and double player mode—"

　　Before they finished speaking, the alarm sounded again, and the grid beneath their feet lit up with purple light.

　　"Fujiwara Senpai, explain quickly!"

　　When Chika becomes confused, Shinichi is already in position to start, and can run to another grid at any time.

　　"Uh, that, that... The meaning of purple, purple should be a special grid event..."

　　She also started taking small steps on the spot, she was tense, but there was also a hint of excitement.

　　"Even though the constant feeling of unexpected events always scares people to the point of peeing, but this is the fun part! It feels like an adventure!"

　　"I don't want to risk falling into the lube at any time..."

　　[Special event opened]

　　[Boys and girls run away]

　　At the same time that the female electronic voice sounded, the two stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes.

　　The black floor that was originally sparkling with white light turned out to be like changing channels on a TV. Meandering runway images replace deep black and white, making the entire room brighter.

　　They appeared to be standing on a huge game screen. The starting point of the runway was the grid beneath their feet, and the ending point was the furthest away from them. There was an iron-gray virtual gate with the number "90" written on it.

　　[Rules: Within the time limit, follow the correct route to complete the track and open the gate. Violation results in all grids falling]

　　[Restriction: Only one person can be on each grid]

　　[Win: one person. The loser will enter into a series of the scariest horror events in the game]

　　[Restrictions: If you win this game, you will complete the whole game and get a reward]

　　The sound stopped for a moment.

　　[From now on, let's fight against each other, boys and girls]

　　After the voice fell, the screen displayed a countdown prompt for tens of seconds, and the starting point of the runway under the feet also had the same countdown.

　　The two looked at each other. Before Chika could react, Shinichi understood the current situation.

　　He looked at Chika with a dangerous look.

　　"You want to take me in, so you want to fight me... Very good."

　　"This is interesting, this is exciting."

　　Chika: "???"

　　Shinichi rolled his ankle and assumed a running starting position, speaking in a serious tone.

　　"Fujiwara Senpai, I accept this challenge – I swear by my trainer's name, I will defeat you with dignity!"

　　Chika looked pale: "?!"

　　(Why have you become so hot-blooded now?)

　　(This is not what I imagined)
