Chapter 99 Night Scout Training Camp
After a while, the four people sneaked out of the warehouse.
"Hehe~ I got 100 tennis balls, soap, shampoo and conditioner." Tian Renzhi said happily, holding the strap of his backpack with his right hand and giving a thumbs up with his left hand.
Echizen Ryoma closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Then mission one means completed, then the next step is-"
"It is the most difficult 'wine' to obtain." Kenya raised the corners of his mouth, but soon he found that Kirihara's expression was not right, and asked doubtfully, "Kirihara, what's wrong with you?"
"It's... glowing," Kirihara pointed at a few 'light spots' floating in the air after Kenya Ninzu was born, as if he had seen a ghost, and when he saw that thing, it was still glowing. Light, Kirihara quickly thought of several ghost stories in his mind, and then he was so frightened that he closed his eyes and ran away.
"Hey -" Kenzu Ken was also trying to hold Kirihara, but unfortunately he was a step too late, and then his mouth was covered by both Echizen and Hitoshi Tian.
The two people who looked in that direction when Kirihara spoke were not frightened, so they stared for a long time before deciding that it was a dog. But what surprised the two of them was that the dog stayed there motionless for a long time.
At this time, Kenya was shouting and wanted to pull Kirihara away. In order to prevent the dog from being attracted, the two had no choice but to cover Kenya's mouth with their hands. Seemingly frightened Kenya, Echizen Ryoma reluctantly explained, "Senior - that's just a dog."
"Yeah!" Tian Renzhi said, "But that one is a bit strange, it's motionless."
"Hey, could that be..." After calming down, Qian Ye quickly noticed something was wrong. He walked up to the 'motionless dog' and stretched out his hand to knock on it.
"Ah - it turns out to be a decoration!" Renzuqian also showed a pair of dead fish eyes, and then remembered that he was frightened by this thing, and was a little angry, "Why should you put this outside to scare people!"
"Okay, okay, let's go!" Looking at Qianye who wanted to take down the decorations, Tian Renzhi just wanted to complete the task quickly and then sleep peacefully.
"But...that guy Kirihara..." Kenya glanced at the direction Kirihara ran away, "Don't you need to look for him?"
"Let's go to the place where the drinks are kept first! Kirihara-senpai will probably go there after he calms down." Echizen Ryoma made the final decision.
In this way, the four-person team was divided into two groups due to some minor accidents. The three of them headed to the next destination normally, but the other person was missing.
When the three of them ran towards the place where the wine was stored, the monitor in the fake dog display honestly recorded their every word and deed.
This person was holding a cup of black coffee in the black part of the surveillance room. He looked at the teenagers running away in the surveillance room and said with a smile, "Hey-he's here so soon."
……
On the other side, Kirihara, who was scared away by the flashing surveillance equipment installed by the fake dog, somehow ended up at a remote stadium where many high school students were practicing at night.
Thinking that the place where the wine was was the dormitory area, Kirihara waited there for a long time, planning to wait for the high school students to finish their training, then quietly follow them and sneak into the dormitory area.
About half an hour later, the group of high school students made plans to go back to the dormitory. They put away their rackets while talking and laughing, with towels hanging around their necks.
"How's your practice going?"
"Well... I have finally reached a higher level. But I still need to contact you a few more times..."
"That's right...if that spell can't be used at the critical moment, doesn't it mean that learning that spell is meaningless?"
……
"Huh?" As if he heard something extraordinary, Kirihara pricked up his ears, trying to hear it more clearly, "Spell? What are they talking about~ What spell? Is there something here?"
"But I really didn't expect that there would be ghosts in this training base!" As if they knew Kirihara's curiosity, several high school students also happened to talk about it.
“Although I didn’t quite believe it at first,” someone next to me answered, “But it seems like this is really happening.”
"Yeah, yeah! It seems like someone really saw it."
"I heard that at this time every year, someone always sees it - the ghost of a fallen warrior."
‘Ghost…ghost? And the Samurai in Disgrace... Isn't that too exaggerated? ’ Kirihara, who was not frightened by hearsay, was still very brave, and even had the intention to explore the exaggeration in the high school students’ words.
"Legend has it that during the Warring States Period... when there was a war in this area, the surviving samurai with swords spared no effort to hunt down and hunt the fallen samurai... and the fallen samurai they found met a very miserable end..."
"That's why the distressed warrior whose head was chopped off by a sword would be unwilling to turn into a ghost, right..."
"Yeah, but I heard that as long as you can chant this spell, you'll be fine..."
"Okay... let's try a few more times..."
"Preparation - 3, 2, 1, start..."
"step step one two one two fast circle lunge lower body slide x2..."
……
"Tsk~" Kirihara Akaya made a disdainful sound in his mouth. The tough-headed little seaweed would not believe in the ghost of a fallen samurai without actually seeing it, "What a fallen samurai... it's really ridiculous!" It happened to be now. Having already arrived at the dormitory area, Kirihara stopped following the group of high school students and walked directly towards the place where the drinks were kept.
At this time, the three people on the other side also happened to avoid a series of traps such as password doors and came to a passage with many monitors.
Several people looked at the rotating monitor and worried, and suddenly from the corner of their eyes they saw many triangles, four corners and circular patterns on the ground.
Echizen had an idea and discovered that the four-corner pattern was just out of reach of the monitor. Hearing this, Kenzu Ken couldn't help complaining, "Isn't this an explicit statement?! Blind corners, four corners, etc..."
But anyway, now that you have an idea, you can give it a try. According to what Echizen said, the three of them successfully avoided the monitors all the way. We came to the last level - the infrared channel.
"What is this...?"
"I don't know either, but it seems like you're out if you encounter this thing?!"
"probably……"
Several people stared helplessly at the dense infrared rays in front of them. Finally, Kenzu Ken, who had the title of "Naniwa Star", took the lead in challenging this level, while Echizen Ryoma was remotely commanding from behind.
After a while, Kenya Kenya had walked about one-third of the distance with amazing perseverance and flexibility. Seeing Kenya Kenya's stiff movements, Echizen Ryoma couldn't help but remind him, "Kenya-senpai, step back and go up." a little……"
"Be careful with your head...we're about to hit it!"
"It's dangerous! You have to go to the left!" Tian Renzhi couldn't help shouting when he saw Kenya Ninzu who was about to hit the 'red line'.
"Eh, hey -" Kenzu Kenya fell out without noticing, "No, no, no! This kind of thing is simply impossible! No matter how soft your body is, it won't work!"
"I'm so unwilling!" Ryoma Echizen propped his chin with one hand, "It's obviously still a little bit close to being completed."
"Ouch! I'm so angry. The target of the special mission is clearly right in front of me...but it's just so far away." Ren Zuqian, who was still sitting on the ground, also had a look of anger on his face and scratched his hair unwillingly.
……
At this time, Kirihara, who was about to reach the infrared channel, suddenly heard a voice coming from behind.
The voice was very shrill, as if saying something like 'Where are my hands...' 'Where are my feet...'. The frightened Kirihara quickly planned to run away, but at this moment, he saw out of the corner of his eye. When he reached the huge 'headless' shadow on the ground, the story of the 'ghost of a fallen samurai' told by high school students appeared in Kirihara's mind for a moment. He murmured the spell he heard while saying He sped up his running speed and rushed directly to the passage.
"step step one two one two fast circle lunge lower body and slide x2..." Kirihara muttered something in his mouth and ran fast.
As Kirihara approached, the three people who were thinking about how to pass through the infrared channel seemed to hear something.
"Listen quickly..." Echizen pulled Tian Hitoshi and Ninzu Kenya to signal them to listen to the sounds coming from outside.
Kenya, who heard Kirihara's voice, said happily, "This kid Kirihara is finally here!" Then, his tone changed, "But what is this kid talking about? Is this... what kind of weird mission is this? Are you driven crazy?"
But after hearing clearly what Kirihara said, Echizen suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and looked at the channel filled with infrared rays.
"step step one two one two quickly turn in circles, lunge and slide down x2..." Echizen repeated what he heard word for word, and then connected it with the passage, only to find that maybe... this is what Kirihara was talking about. Ways to pass the channel.
"Hey, hey, Echizen, what are you-" Ren Zuqian didn't understand why Echizen started chanting along with him, but he was interrupted before he could finish his words.
Ryoma Echizen opened his eyes wide and said excitedly, "Senior, I think I can pass this level!"
"What?!" Tian Renzhi/Ninzu Ken also looked at the energetic Echizen in confusion.
"Bang -" At this moment, Kirihara, who was avoiding the 'Headless Samurai Ghost', finally arrived here. He looked at the people with different expressions and forgot about the ghost for a moment, and asked curiously, "You...what are you still doing?"
"That's what Kirihara-senpai just said," Echizen Ryoma continued what he mentioned before, "that's the way to clear this passage."
"Huh?" Kirihara, who didn't know the cause, was still confused.
Seeing Kirihara like this, the three of them explained for a while. Only then did Kirihara understand what happened when he was away. He who likes games immediately connected this task with the game, and couldn't help feeling that he had missed it. There are so many, "So something fun happened! It's like clearing a level in a game! This is such a pity!"
"Ah...this" the three of them looked at each other, saying that they really couldn't understand the brain circuits of game fans.
At this time, Echizen slapped his head and reminded them that the most important thing now was to cross this passage and ask Kirihara about the source of that method.
"Ah? Are you talking about that 'step step one two one two fast circle lunge lower body slide x2...'?" Kirihara probably guessed that the ghost might not be real, so he told them calmly. I heard this from a high school student. As for being scared by a 'ghost' or something...that was not mentioned at all!
However, unless Kirihara himself said it, these three people would not know that he was frightened by a 'ghost' again.
After hearing what Kirihara said, several people did not delve into why the high school students mentioned this. In the end, after discussing it, Tian Hitoshi stayed at the entrance of the passage to relax due to his size. The other three used the 'spell' to pass the level and go to get it. Return to coach Mifune for the wine requested.
The three of them chanted the 'spell' and followed the actions in the 'spell', and passed the infrared channel smoothly. Tian Renzhi behind them couldn't help but look envious at their cool and handsome moves along the way.
The three people who successfully passed the customs went directly to the location where the wine was stored as mentioned in Coach Mifune's letter. Just when they were about to pack their drinks, the stomachs of the three of them suddenly rang.
At this time, several people also discovered the ready-to-eat food around them. Seeing this, Kirihara opened it and started eating. He was already very hungry! On the other hand, Kenya and Echizen looked at Kirihara who was eating with relish, and couldn't help but start eating together. While eating, they were talking about how delicious these things were.
Tian Hitoshi, who was waiting for the three people at the entrance of the passage, couldn't help but shed tears of envy from the corner of his mouth after hearing what Kenya and Echizen said. Later, when he was really greedy and couldn't stand it anymore, he ignored those 'infrared rays' and went straight through.
The moment Tian Renzhi's body touched the 'infrared ray', the base's alarm sounded. This sound almost woke up all the sleeping middle school students and high school students.
In the room at this time, Tian Hitoshi was contentedly holding a pile of food and eating happily, while Echizen and Kenya on the side were not very happy, and both of them were a little helpless. Kirihara ignored these three people. The moment the alarm sounded, Kirihara knew that the situation might not be good, so he ate faster. Although he said he could take it away, he did not believe the sloppy uncle at all. Will let them take the food back to eat.
Seeing Kirihara eating desperately and Tian Hitoshi happily, Kenya could only sigh helplessly, and then asked Echizen to hurry up and fill the wine gourd.
Echizen, on the other hand, wanted to laugh mischievously, and instead of walking towards the place where the wine was placed, he went straight to the container with the big word "dry" on it.
……
After filling the wine gourd, Kirihara had almost eaten. Tian Hitoshi, who was reluctant to part with the food, scattered the pile of food with Kenya and Echizen.
The four of them avoided various patrols in the training base and quietly ran back to the mountain where they had undergone training. They handed the things to Coach Mifune, who had been waiting for them at the door of the cabin all morning.
When handing over tasks, the four of them had to face Coach Mifune's venomous words from time to time.
Echizen looked forward to seeing the scene where Coach Mifune opened the sake gourd and took a few sips before collapsing. Unfortunately, although Coach Mifune drank the solution in the sake gourd they got back as he wished, he did not collapse. This made Echizen wonder if he had taken it by mistake. Unfortunately, after thinking about it, Echizen realized that he had indeed taken it correctly.
Looking at the changing faces, Coach Mifune snorted secretly in his heart, just a few brats with no hair at all, still want to plot against me... Huh~
Then, looking at the people leaving, Coach Mifune said silently, "Take out all the sausages, hams and... in your pockets."
"Um, um." Ren Zuqian, who still wanted to struggle, turned his head timidly, "Excuse me, what are you talking about?"
"Huh?" Coach Mifune stood up slowly. The black sky behind him gave people an extremely oppressive feeling, "Stay here."
"Ahhh! We know we were wrong!" The frightened Kenya Ninzu and Hitoshi Tian quickly took out the things in their pockets. Echizen on the side said, "It's still far from enough" and started to rummage through his pockets.
Kirihara Akaya was left alone with cold sweat on his forehead, looking at the actions of several people with a look of anticipation.
