Chapter 678 – Game Trap

　　The shimmering light from the TV screen shone on An Qingyu’s side face, coloring that lens with a touch of tragic white.

　　He calmly sat across from Yuzuri Takeru, not the least bit startled by this sudden turn of events, but continued to gaze at Yuzuri Takeru’s body, the gray aura in his eyes flickering unnoticeably as he parsed the other party’s body at all times.

　　”Sorry, I seem to have been too rough.” Yuzuri Takubai smiled slightly apologetically, gently raising her hand, the power supply of the entire [Pure Land] was restored once again, “Finally, there is someone other than the Oracle Envoy who can communicate with me, I somewhat failed to control myself ……”

　　”That’s okay.”

　　An Qingyu pushed his glasses and smiled in the same way, “I’m curious, obviously you are so strong, why are you still locked up here by them as an experiment? With your …… rank, even if seven Oracle Envoys teamed up against you, you should still be able to get away in one piece, right?”

　　Yuzuri Takeru shook his head.

　　”No?” An Qingyu froze.

　　”They can’t defeat me even if they join forces.” Yuzuri Takeru spoke seriously, “Regardless of level, talent, skill, bloodstain, and battle power, they can’t win against me combined, because what I have, is a World Boss level panel.”

　　”……”

　　If it wasn’t for the fact that An Qingyu had played the game for a while before, she really might not have understood what Yuzuri Takeru White was saying.

　　”Besides, I don’t want to leave here.”

　　”Why?” Anqing Yu asked suspiciously, “Being locked up in this room, being experimented on by them like a mouse, don’t you long for freedom?”

　　”But after leaving here, I can’t play the game.”

　　”……?”

　　Yuzuri Takeru gave him a look, and after a moment’s hesitation, he stood up from the couch, his slender white hair trailing on the floor like satin as he slowly moved forward, and eventually he stopped in front of the wooden cabinet underneath the television.

　　He reached out and pulled open the drawer, revealing a dizzying array of densely packed game cassettes inside, stacked like small mountains.

　　”These, are my treasures.” Yuzuri Takeru turned around, looked at An Qingyu’s eyes, and said seriously.

　　”In here, I have so many games to play, but if I go outside, where will I find so many games? It’s a very scarce and precious thing, isn’t it? I just need to cooperate with them to inject a little something every day, and I can play without limitations ……

　　Isn’t this very happy?”

　　An Qingyu: ……????

　　An Qingyu stared blankly at Yuzuru Takeru for a long time before reacting to what was going on.

　　He had always thought that these oracle envoys were able to control Yuzuru Nishitakibai here with some kind of advanced control method, but he never expected …… that it was actually just a game?

　　And they were all games that had gone out of fashion twenty or thirty years ago!

　　Isn’t this cheating children?

　　When he thought about it carefully, don’t look at Yuzuri-Takubai growing up so big, but his mental age is actually only thirteen years old …… And he grew up all the time here, so if the oracle messenger was lying to him in this regard, of course he wouldn’t have realized it.

　　Anqing Yu gave him a complicated look, walked to the pile of “treasure” in front of, squatted down, carefully rummage up.

　　”Alloy Bullet, King of Fighters, Contra, Super Mario, Beach Volleyball …… Sure enough, they’re all overdone games.” An Qingyu let out a long sigh.

　　The Oracle was using this pile of stuff to make Yuzuru Takeru Takeru willingly become a test subject for more than ten years?

　　It was really ……

　　”Well? Isn’t my collection rich?” Yuzuri Takubai asked with a smile, a pair of eyes already narrowed to slits.

　　An Qingyu casually threw these cassettes to the side and shook her head, “All of these things, to a certain extent are indeed ‘collections’ …… The Oracle lied to you, the game is out there, it’s just something that can be found everywhere. It’s not precious at all, as long as you spend some money, you can always buy ten times more games than these.

　　Moreover, after so many years, the game industry out there has developed to a point you can’t even imagine ……

　　These old-fashioned card readers, they’ve been phased out, and now there are PS, NS, and even VR headsets everywhere out there ……”

　　Yuzuri Takubai stood frozen on the sidelines for a long time, and

　　”What’s PS and what’s VR?”

　　”PS is ……”

　　The ghostly Jiang’er stood outside the room, with a complex expression, looking at these two teenagers in the room who were sitting on the floor, seriously discussing the development of the gaming industry, and somewhat helplessly held his forehead ……

　　Just now when Yuzuri Takubai cut off the power supply of [Pure Land], she thought that a vicious battle was about to break out, and had even made plans to forcefully possess the other party to create an escape opportunity for An Qingyu, but she never thought that the development of things would actually advance in such a bizarre direction ……

　　After An Qingyu finished introducing the current state of the gaming industry in Japan today, Yuzuri Takeru Bai’s expression became odd, he frowned and sized up An Qingyu, as if he was somewhat disbelieving.

　　”The Oracle said that the technology here is the most advanced in this country.”

　　”He’s right.”

　　”Then why is it that there are only these games here, but the world below has games that are as advanced as you say?” Yuzuri Takeru’s asked in disbelief, “With the advanced technology here, shouldn’t the game industry be more advanced?”

　　”…… The needs of the public are the industry’s first productivity.” An Qingyu patiently explained, “There are only a few of you here in total, so of course it’s impossible to produce games, and these games that the oracles have given you should all have been brought up from below a long time ago as well.”

　　Yuzuri Takubai still frowned.

　　”You don’t believe it?”

　　”Don’t believe it.”

　　”Then don’t you know if you go down and see for yourself?” An Qingyu smiled and spoke, “As far as I know, there’s a place called Akihabara in this country, where there’s a whole street of game stores, so if you go there, you’ll definitely be able to understand.”

　　The light in Yuzuri Takeru’s eyes flickered, as if she was somewhat impressed.

　　”What if the Oracle comes back?”

　　”They can’t beat you combined anyway, why are you afraid of them?” An Qingyu spoke unhurriedly, “Moreover, I guarantee you that they can’t come back here ……”

　　”You really didn’t lie to me?”

　　”Don’t worry, I won’t lie to you.” An Qingyu hesitated for a moment, “In this way, these game cassettes, I’ll help you put them away here, if you don’t find those games I mentioned in the world below, you can come back to me for a long time.

　　Anyway, with your power, it shouldn’t be difficult to return to the [Pure Land] at any time.”

　　Yuzuri Takeru looked at the small mountain of old game cassettes, and after dwelling on it for a long time, he still nodded heavily.

　　”Okay, I’ll go down and take a look, if not, I’ll definitely come back for you!”

　　”Right, when you go down, remember to keep an eye out for your father, he’s been looking for you for thirteen years.” An Qingyu didn’t forget the agreement with Yuzuru Takeru.

　　Yuzuri Takeru froze and looked back at him, his eyes filled with bewilderment:

　　”What is father ……?”
