…

Zhou Mingrui opened his eyes blankly and looked at the familiar ceiling. It was the ceiling of the rental house where he was staying. There was an ordinary moon-shaped chandelier hanging on it. He couldn't help but murmured: "Am I dreaming?"

"No." A mean voice sounded from the side.

Zhou Mingrui turned his head and saw a face that looked like a big bear, standing in front of his eyes with a lewd expression:

"You woke up, the operation was successful, and you are already a girl."

Zhou Mingrui turned over expressionlessly, turned to his side and continued to sleep. He was really dreaming just now, right?

"Alas, don't be so cold," Old Tang said quickly, "I was just making a joke..."

Zhou Mingrui wrapped the quilt tightly around himself with an expressionless expression, expressing that he didn't want to pay attention to the iron fool next to him.

"Okay, okay, we finally came back, do you have this attitude?" Old Tang complained at the side, "Thanks for me, I carried you out of that pile of bugs. I finally saved you, didn't I?"

Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, rubbed his temples, and then a picture emerged in his mind. They were facing the overwhelming blood-red scary bugs, running around in a devil city that was seriously eroded by the wind, and finally

Old Tang bravely stood up and found himself in a sea of ​​suffering...

Logically speaking, in his memory, Old Tang did indeed save him, but why did he feel that something was wrong?

However, they went through hardships and obstacles, and finally returned to the Bronze Gate, and then returned here, back to his home.

"Speaking of it, I feel like the things we experienced are not real." Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but say.

"Did we really travel into the novel world of Tomb Raiders before? Why do I feel so unreal?"

"Now that it has passed, let it pass." Old Tang waved his hand heroically, "I don't care if it is a dream... as long as we come back, it will be fine."

"makes sense……"

…………

In the luxurious room in Takamawara, Japan, Merlin, who had been in the room for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. During this period, he was always very anxious because his connection with the real body was becoming more and more dangerous. Not only that, he

The body will fall apart at any time and disintegrate into insects one after another.

In this state, he was completely unable to go out to receive guests.

Fortunately, Merlin has now recovered, regained the connection between himself and his body, and stabilized his current state.

Merlin walked slowly to the window and looked out at the luxurious place with bright lights and greenery.

During this time, he had to ask for leave from his boss because of his physical condition, saying that he was ill.

And I had to explain to other employees and customers that I was seriously ill and needed rest and long-term recovery, so I took a long leave. Such a lie was not difficult. All I had to do was pretend to be a clown.

Being a patient is very relaxing.

However, perhaps because he pretended to be so good, he aroused the concern and sympathy of many people.

The boss also agreed to let Merlin have a good rest and arranged some nurses for him to take care of Merlin, but Merlin rejected these. Even some fanatical customers applied to come in to take care of him, but he declined them one by one.

He knew that he didn't need anyone else's care at all. If someone else entered his room rashly, they might even face him who was out of control, which would be very dangerous.

But it's okay, because Arrodes is by his side.

With it by his side watching over him, even if Merlin really loses control, there will be no problem. It can also create an illusion and prevent others from noticing.

Merlin looked at the night scene outside with a smile on his lips.

"Since I've been on leave, Ruri Kazama has become the number one cowherd in Japan."

"This relieves me a little trouble."

You must know that being the number one Cowherd is not easy. Not only does he have to face more people, but his every move is noticed... In addition, there are many Cowherds who want to squeeze him down.

It's a good thing that Kazama Ruri takes his place as the number one cowherd.

"My supreme master, do you want me to take back the title of Number One Cowherd? I believe in your strength, you will definitely take down that Kazama Ruri easily!" A few words appeared on Arnold's mirror.

Line handwriting.

"..." Merlin covered his head.

To be honest, he really doesn't care much about the title of Number One Cowherd.

As long as he is willing, there is no problem if he is the prime minister of this country.

"Speaking of which, Arrodes, why do you pay so much attention to the number one Cowherd?" Merlin didn't quite understand.

Arrodes's mirror surface was slightly red.

"Nothing, it's just that my great master must be the first..."

It can't say that during this period of time, it boasted on some websites that Merlin was the most beautiful in the world, saying that Kazama Ruri was not as good as her master, etc., and then caused a fierce dispute.

War of words...

Finally, it made a bet with others that as long as Merlin made his debut again, he would definitely be number one...

This matter must not be told to the owner, otherwise the owner will shark it.

"Don't pay attention to those things." Merlin looked into the distance, "Those are just illusory things."

"I chose to be a Cowherd just on a whim." It's not that the boss gave me too much.

"I don't care about the number one cowherd or anything like that."

"As expected of my great master..." All kinds of rainbow farts appeared on Arrodes' mirror, all of which were words of praise for Merlin.

Merlin was used to it and ignored this with a straight face.

After blowing for more than ten minutes, Arrodes finally stopped.

"Then my respected great master, what are your plans next?"

Merlin thought for a while, looked at the anime characters displayed on a large screen in the distance, and suddenly said:

"Let's go to Comic Con or somewhere else to check it out."

He finally came to Japan, but due to various things, such as being hunted down by the Sheqi Eight Family, and then being held back by his job as a cowherd, he never had time to experience Japan's otaku paradise.

You must know that he longed for it in the old days. Although he is now mostly divine, he still wants to get back that feeling.

…………

Tokyo at night is completely different from Tokyo during the day. Tokyo at night is colorful and coquettish, like a seductive lady wearing a kimono, while Tokyo during the day looks like a sporty girl with simple tones and a distant view.

When you go out, the buildings blend into the background of the sky without being obtrusive.

This is a neat and orderly city. Office workers in a hurry are trotting in and out of the subway. Pedestrians walk very fast, but their actions follow rules. Everyone seems to be running on invisible rails. There are very few

Someone will fall off his or her own track. People are waiting silently at the traffic lights across the street. The crowd is getting bigger and bigger, but no one is anxious or talking loudly. Then as the red light turns green, the cars on the street are waiting for a second.

It came to a complete stop, and crowds of people poured through the streets and dispersed along their respective tracks. The red light turned on and the traffic flow resumed, and new groups of people waited silently under the red light.

Merlin was also gazing at the scenery outside the car window, his eyes reflecting the endless traffic.

"This feels really good, doesn't it?"

"In our world, this is something we can no longer experience."

Arrods looked at his master quietly and wisely chose silence.

"That building is the territory owned by Genji Heavy Industries and the Sheqi Eight Families." Merlin looked at the building in the distance and slowly raised an arc.

"Do you think we should plant a bomb in that place? They have caused us a lot of trouble before."

Arrodes showed an emoticon on the mirror, which probably meant that he strongly agreed.

Since this guy came into contact with modern society, he has learned a lot. For example, he has become very skilled at playing with these emoticons. Sometimes Merlin doesn't even know how many emoticons are stored in this mirror.

Anyway, it has all the pictures.

Merlin had changed into an ordinary face and a set of ordinary clothes, and was just walking on the streets of Japan, like an ordinary tourist.

I had just gotten off work and the street was getting lively. The charming proprietress stood at the door and greeted regular customers. The fishmongers and fruit sellers had set up their stalls on the street. The street was filled with the smell of takoyaki and oden. Merlin felt it.

The warm smell on the street made me feel like I had regained some of my humanity.

He saw a handicraft shop on the roadside, with several very conspicuous figures placed in the window.

Those are all familiar figures to Zhou Mingrui, but it seems a little difficult to recall these people now, and one has to use spirituality to recall them.

Merlin looked at those items with a smile, then turned his gaze sideways and continued walking forward.

In his opinion, these are just fictional characters.

At this time, he keenly heard the sound of quarrels coming from the game hall on the corner of the street. The general situation should be that someone defeated someone in the game, causing someone to be unconvinced...

"A game arcade? It looks interesting, doesn't it?"

Merlin looked in the direction of the game arcade with interest and asked Arrods.

"Want to go in and have a look?"

"At your will, great master."

Everything in the world has an origin, and so does any industry. Although at major local festivals and celebrations in Japan, you can always find a variety of entertainment activities and games that please children and adults. But just

Before the 1970s when classic arcade games such as "Little Bee" and "Pac-Man" appeared in front of coffee houses or bars and became popular, Japanese arcades began to rise on the rooftops of shopping malls in Tokyo and Osaka.
