Chapter 691 595 Journey to Find Mermaid Tears

……

After get off work in the evening, Shoji Yamada went to the game store early.

The store manager had already prepared the game disc of "Tears of Mermaid" for him.

The two looked at each other and understood each other. Seeing the store manager's expression that could be described as solemn, Shoji Yamada knew that the other party was thinking the same as he was-

After the game "Tears of Mermaid", I'm afraid I really have to say goodbye to Guyuan Chunchu.

Guyuan Laozei is also Qingzhiyuan's game, it's really well made.

It's a pity that I can't play it anymore.

It's a bit regrettable.

Looking down at the disc given to him by the store manager, Shoji Yamada's mood became a little heavy.

But at the same time, he was full of endless fantasies about the game.

…

After returning home, Shoji Yamada took a bath and ate some carrot stew he cooked himself.

He opened a can of beer and put it on the small table, and sat in front of the TV in a daze for a long time.

He stared at the beautifully packaged game box on the table with classic pokeni packaging, but he never opened it.

I don't know why, but I really want to understand it, but——

Once I play this game, it's like the whole era, which belongs to Guyuan Laozei, and is also part of Yamada's own youth memory, will say goodbye forever.

The feeling of reluctance spread, making Yamada unable to make up his mind.

After hesitating for a long time, Yamada finally put the game disc on the shelf.

This mood lasted until the next night.

After struggling for a long time, Yamada decided to play it well.

Playing the game seriously is the greatest respect for the producer Guyuan Laozei.

Moreover, even if Yamada doesn't experience it himself, he will be spoiled soon in this Internet age!

Apart from anything else, those guys will definitely discuss Guyuan's last work when they go to work on Monday.

In this case, why not experience it seriously without distraction?

…

After unpacking the game,

Shoji Yamada inserted the CD and started the game.

The screen went black and the Pokeni logo appeared on the screen.

The following is the iconic advertising slogan:

[Game is life]

[Here, start an unprecedented journey of life]

…

Shoji Yamada pressed the button and selected [Start Game]

…

The screen dimmed and a line of words appeared:

[Tears of Mermaid:

It can fulfill a person's wish, but it will bring a sad relationship when the wish is fulfilled]

The melancholy BGM sounded.

The gray sky was raining heavily.

In the big city, the steel forest and huge buildings that reach the sky make people feel depressed and breathless.

Pedestrians on the street hold umbrellas. Except for the young ladies wearing JK clothes who are soliciting customers, everyone else is almost uniformly gray and white, turning the whole world into a plastic black and white old photo.

Blurred and hazy,

The game follows the perspective of the male protagonist, a little confused, a little calm, as if it was separated from this world, a machine without emotions watching coldly.

At the same time, the male protagonist's monologue also sounded:

[Go to work at 9 o'clock every morning and get off work at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. People with briefcases are like cold robots made by this steel city.

I am one of them.

The journey from here to work requires a total of 3 traffic lights, and everyone is expressionless.

Only when you look up at the glass window can you see a little joy on the faces of those high-ranking rich people.

But this layer of joy is so false.

The son of the bank president is the bank president, the children of the capitalists continue to be capitalists, and the family's business is still inherited by the children of the family.

Everyone's birth has determined everything, and the life that can be seen at a glance has been written when they come to this world.

The unchanging world.

In this world, it seems that even falling in love is not needed. Everyone is an island, and no one has to rely on anyone.

Why do girls like me, why do I like girls.

I don't understand.

Why do people live.

I don't understand.

Why do people die.

I don't understand. 】

...

Ah this...

Shoji Yamada frowned, is Pokeni referring to me?

Should I do this? Office workers are already miserable enough, and they are also referred to for playing games.

I can empathize with them too much. Life that is determined at birth is too miserable.

And...

Recalling his tragic love experience, Shoji Yamada is really about to cry.

There is a deep sense of powerlessness.

Following the footsteps of the male protagonist, the rain hit the open umbrella, making crackling white noise, but making the whole world even quieter.

But...

Just when this gray world was about to become gray, a gap appeared faintly in the clouds in the sky, and the sunlight poured down from the gap, giving the whole world a layer of bright colors.

Tyndall effect.

Pokeni created it beautifully. Even if it is a two-dimensional game, every frame can become a perfect desktop wallpaper.

Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but marvel at P's artistic design ability, which was really too strong.

The colloid light was like a straight channel, perfectly projected, and at the same time, a figure appeared in Sakata Akatsuki's sight--

A girl with long black hair and a pale face stood on the corner.

The girl's face was delicate, with big eyes, a small upturned nose, and a slightly pale, but perfectly outlined lip with a hint of rosy lines.

She was soaked, and the rain smudged down her shoes to the ground, leaving a pool of water underneath.

Sakata Akatsuki took a look.

It was indeed raining heavily.

The weather forecast this morning said that there would be a typhoon recently.

There were heavy to torrential rains along the coast.

But he didn't understand why it was raining heavily, and this person would stand in the rain without an umbrella, as if he was calmly accepting the baptism of the heavy rain.

In this case, from Sakata Akatsuki's point of view, it was either a broken heart or a disease.

The girl's eyes were calm, and although her face was pale, there was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't look like she was heartbroken.

In this case, there is only one answer!

So Sakata Xiao's heart was beating fast, and then he lowered his head and covered his face with an umbrella, trying to speed up and pass by the girl.

Although he had long been tired of this world and life, Sakata Xiao did not think it was a good thing to be entangled by a lunatic.

"Hey."

Who knew that when he passed by, the girl looked at him motionlessly and raised a finger silently.

Sakata Xiao walked back and forth a few steps, and found that the girl's sight was like a searchlight, firmly attached to him.

"Hey."

Just as he tried to escape again and get away with it, the girl called him again.

"Me?"

Sakata Xiao pointed his finger back at himself.

"Are you looking for me? Do you know me? What's my name?"

The girl's neck was stiff, and she tilted her head to one side, looking at him calmly.

Reflecting the dim light, Sakata Xiao seemed to see a circle of red halo in her eyes.

People's eye color is actually quite magical, and it looks different under different light.

This girl's eyes are really beautiful, like two big gems, containing endless starlight.

If it wasn't so abrupt that it made people wary, Sakata Akatsuki would think that the girl was very suitable for dating.

But if she was sick or a trap, it would be bad.

I have to say that Pokeni's painting style is really excellent. As soon as the girl appeared, Yamada Masaharu was attracted.

Whether it was her appearance, her clothes, or the peculiar temperament she exuded in the rain, Yamada Masaharu had a good impression of the girl.

Of course, Yamada Masaharu also liked the heroines in Pokeni's previous games.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar released this novel for the first time.

It's just that this cold feeling like this time seems to be the first time I've seen it.

The girl opened her lips slightly, tilted her head, stared at Sakata Akatsuki with her big eyes, and slowly uttered a few words: "Can you see me?"

Huh? !

Yamada Masaharu and Sakata Akatsuki in the game were both stunned.

Ah, this... what does this mean?

Sakata Akatsuki's whole body split open, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he shook his neck mechanically and turned his head away.

[No way? This guy looks pretty good, is he a ghost? ]

[What should I do if I encounter a ghost in broad daylight! ? ]

[Could it be that some god heard my complaints about the world and wanted to bring some excitement to my uneventful life? ]

[I think an unchanging world is also good! ]

…

Sakata Akatsuki prayed silently in his heart while holding an umbrella, then nodded slightly to the passers-by, pretending to say hello to someone just now, then turned around and left with stiff steps.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step out, a small hand grabbed the corner of his clothes from behind.

Gulp gulp gulp gulp…

Sakata Akatsuki heard the terrible sound made by Kayako's appearance in the horror movie "The Grudge" released last year.

Masaharu Yamada outside the screen also felt a little creepy.

It was as if the temperature in the whole room had dropped several degrees.

Yamada couldn't help but look up and glance out the window. He always felt that there was a ghost, and something terrible would happen in the next second.

Is this right?

If he hadn't confirmed that he bought "Tears of Mermaid", Masaharu Yamada would have mistakenly thought that he bought a Ju-Gong game, or a two-dimensional version.

Oh!

I understand!

A flash of inspiration flashed through Yamada's mind. Could it be that this guy, Tsubaki Guyuan, got inspiration from "Ju-Gong" released last year?

Sure enough, the old thief's heart is dirty and scary.

"Hey, you can see me." The girl pulled the corner of his clothes and laughed faintly, "Otherwise you wouldn't stop."

So Sakata Xiao didn't dare to look back, but pretended to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

He took a step, but didn't move. The guy behind him was quite powerful.

But if he stayed where he was, he would definitely be exposed!

The next second, Sakata Akatsuki started running, and the girl followed him, pulling the corner of his clothes like a kite being dragged and flying.

Ah hey!

It's flying!

Pah...

The ghost was dragged and flew for a while, and then fell into the puddle.

Yamada Masaharu's stomach hurt from laughing.

Oh my gosh, the ghost girl is too cute, right?

The girl struggled to get up, and then sat down on the ground. The ghost girl looked at Akatsuki Sakata resentfully.

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Sakata Akira could only turn around and said sadly, "Miss Ghost, I really didn't mean to do it. Besides, I have to go to work. Please stop following me, okay?"

The girl stood up and shook her wet long hair. The bangs on her forehead were messy and spread down like seaweed. Her eyes were big and round.

Even more resentful!

The girl asked calmly, "What's your name?"

ah!

No, we looked at each other for more than 3 seconds.

Will you be killed if you know the name? !

Sakata Akatsuki had black lines all over her head and was shocked.

But in the end, he replied with a trembling voice, "Sakata, Sakata Akatsuki..."

"yes."

After hearing this, the girl nodded silently, raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly, and then raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Hello, my name is Tachibana Yu."

…

"Hello, my name is Kishida Risa."

At this moment, a playful voice sounded, and a girl who didn't know where she came from suddenly appeared next to the two of them.

The girl has long cherry-pink hair that is as smooth as silk and shines with a faint luster. Her eyes are like two crystal clear crystals. The pupils seem to contain a sea of ​​stars, sometimes shining with curious light, sometimes revealing gentle affection. It makes people intoxicated.

The eyelashes are long and curled, and every time they blink, they are like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, light and charming.

Her face is small and delicate, and her skin is as white as snow, with a hint of pink, like a newly blooming peach blossom, exuding the freshness and purity of a girl.

The bridge of the nose is straight, the lips are pink, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, outlining a gentle smile that seems to warm people's hearts instantly.

The only thing that surprised Sakata was——

This guy was also wet all over, and the strands of hair on his forehead looked like seaweed.

Ah hey, where did you suddenly appear?

Akatsuki Sakata asked doubtfully and carefully, "Are you a ghost too?"

"ghost?"

Kishida and Tachibana looked at each other and laughed.

"Hello ghost, goodbye ghost."

…

"No, who said we are ghosts?" Kishida laughed behind him.

"Don't you feel the weight of the light rain?"

Sakata was startled for a moment, then touched Tachibana's cheek with his hand.

Soft and bouncy.

ah!

Alive!

"Then you..."

Why don't you hold an umbrella when it rains? Why do you stand in the rain? !

Sakata looked at these two guys with even more fear.

Isn't that just pure psychosis? !

Seemingly seeing through Sakata's doubts, Tachibana Rain said seriously:

"We...are looking for the Mermaid Tears."

"Mermaid Tears?" Sakata's eyes became confused.

This was the first time he heard the word.

At the same time, just as she said these words, the entire sky lit up.

"The tears of the mermaid can grant a person's wish."

Tachibana Rain's eyes sparkled and he said excitedly with a smile on his face.
