Mystery Comes to the Dragon Race

Chapter 246 The Return
……

Zhou Mingrui opened his eyes blankly, looked at the familiar ceiling, it was the ceiling of the rental house he was in, and there was an ordinary moon-shaped chandelier hanging on it, and couldn't help muttering: "Am I dreaming?"

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

Zhou Mingrui turned his head, and saw a face resembling a big-headed bear in front of his eyes, showing a wretched expression:

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

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

"Ah, ah, don't be so indifferent," Old Tang said quickly, "I was just joking..."

Zhou Mingrui wrapped the quilt tightly around his body expressionlessly, expressing that he didn't want to talk to the Tie Hanhan next to him.

"Okay, okay, we finally came back, is this your attitude?" Old Tang complained from the side, "It's a pity that I ran out of the bug pile behind your back, I saved you anyway, didn't I?"

Zhou Mingrui froze for a moment, rubbed his temples, and then a picture popped up in his mind. Facing blood-red scary bugs overwhelming the sky, they ran around in a devil city that was severely eroded by the wind, and finally Old Tang bravely stepped forward, and he was in the sea of ​​suffering...

Logically speaking, in his memory, Old Tang had indeed saved 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, and returned to his home.

"Speaking of which, I don't think the things we experienced seemed real." Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but said.

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

"Since it's over, let it pass." Old Tang waved his hand heroically, "Whether it's a dream or not... as long as we come back, it will be fine."

"makes sense……"

In the luxurious room in Takamahara, Japan, Merlin, who had been in the room for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. During this time, he was always very anxious, because his connection with the main body was getting more and more dangerous. Not only that, he His body would fall apart at any moment, and would collapse into insects one after another.

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

Fortunately, Merlin has recovered now, re-maintained the connection between himself and the main body, and stabilized his current state.

Merlin walked slowly to the window, looking out at a luxurious place full of feasting lights.

During this period of time, because of his ontology, he had to ask his boss for leave, saying that he was sick.

And I had to explain to other employees and customers that I was seriously ill and needed rest and long-term recuperation, so I asked for a long time off. Such a lie is not difficult, as long as you use the ability of a clown to pretend to be fine. A patient is still very relaxed.

However, because it may be that he pretended too well, he also aroused the concern and sympathy of many people.

The boss also promised to let Merlin take a good rest, and arranged for some nurses to take care of Merlin, but Merlin refused.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 other people's care at all. If others entered his room rashly, they might even face him who was out of control, which would be very dangerous.

But fortunately, because Arrods was by his side.

With it watching over him by his side, even if Merlin really got out of control, there wouldn't be any problem. It could also fake an illusion to prevent others from noticing.

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

"Since I was on leave, that Ruri Kazama has become the number one cowherd in Japan."

"It relieved me a little bit of trouble."

You must know that it is not easy to be the number one cowherd. Not only do you have to face more people, but his every move has been watched... Besides, there are many cowherds who want to squeeze him out.

It is a good thing that Kazama Ruri replaced him as the number one cowherd.

"My supreme master, do you want to take back the title of No. [-] Cowherd? I believe in your strength, and you must have easily taken down that Kazama Ruri!" A few words appeared on Arnolds's mirror. handwriting.

"..." Merlin covered his head.

To be honest, he really didn't care much about the title of No. [-] Cowherd.

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

"Speaking of which, Arrodes, why do you pay so much attention to the No. [-] Cowherd?" Merlin didn't quite understand.

Arrods' mirror surface was slightly reddened.

"It's nothing, it's just that my great master must be number one..."

It can't say that during this period of time, it boasted on some websites that Meilin's beauty was number one in the world, saying that Kazama Ruri was no match for her master, and then caused a fierce controversy. Scolding war...

In the end, 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 master, otherwise the master will kill it.

"Don't pay attention to those things." Merlin looked into the distance, "Those are nothing but illusory things."

"I chose to become a cowherd, just on a whim." It's not that the boss gave too much.

"I don't care about the first cowboy or something."

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

Merlin was used to it, and ignored these without changing his face.

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

"Then my respected great master, what's your plan next?"

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

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

He finally came to Japan, but because of various things, such as being hunted down by the Snaki Hachika, and then being held back by the job of Cowherd, he has no time to experience Japan's otaku paradise.

You must know that when he was in the old days, he was very yearning.Although he is mostly divine now, he still wants to get back that feeling.

…………

Tokyo at night is completely different from Tokyo in the daytime. Tokyo in the night is full of colorful colors, exuding a coquettish beauty, like a seductive lady in a kimono, while Tokyo in the daytime is a sports girl with simple colors. It is unobtrusive to go out and the buildings blend into the background of the sky.

This is a neat and orderly city. Commuters in a hurry trot in and out of the subway. Pedestrians walk fast, but their actions follow rules. Everyone seems to be running on invisible rails. Someone will get out of their own tracks, and people will wait silently at the traffic lights crossing 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 will stop in a second. The inner city came to a complete stop, crowds of people flooded across the street and dispersed along their respective tracks, the traffic resumed when the red light came on, and new crowds waited silently under the red light again.

Merlin was also looking at the scenery outside the car window in a daze, his pupils reflected the constant flow of traffic.

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

"In our world, it is impossible to experience it."

Arrods looked at his master quietly, wisely choosing silence.

"That building is under the name of Genji Heavy Industries and Snaki Bajia." 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 caused us a lot of trouble before."

Arrods showed an emoji on the mirror, which probably means that he agrees very much.

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

Anyway, it has all kinds of pictures.

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

Just after get off work, the street is getting lively. The lady boss who still has charm stands at the door and greets regular customers. Fishmongers and fruit sellers have put their stalls on the street, and the street is filled with the smell of takoyaki and oden.Merlin felt the warm smell on the street, and felt that he had regained some of his humanity.

He saw a handicraft shop on the side of the road, and there were several very conspicuous handicrafts in the window.

Those are the characters Zhou Mingrui is familiar with, but it seems that it is difficult to recall these people now, and it is only possible to recall them with the help of spirituality.

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

In his view, these are just fictional characters.

At this time, he keenly heard the sound of arguing, which came from the game hall on the corner of the street. The general situation should be that someone defeated XX in the game, causing XX to be unconvinced or something...

"Game arcade? Looks like fun, doesn't it?"

Merlin looked in the direction of the game hall with great interest, and asked Arrods.

"Do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Follow your will, great master."

Everything in the world has an origin, and so does any industry, although at Japan's major native festivals and festivals, you can always find entertainment and games to please children and adults alike.However, before classic arcade games such as "Little Bee" and "Pac-Man" appeared in front of coffee houses or bars and became popular in the 70s, arcade halls in Japan began to rise on the top floors of shopping malls in Tokyo and Osaka.

Japan's game arcades were originally attached to the Japanese arcade's Amusement Park, but now the Amusement Park has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, but the arcade hall has become a place that still exists and is active.

As early as 1903, Japan had the habit of building the rooftops of department stores as amusement parks, not only three-dimensional wooden horses, but also swings and various indoor amusement equipment.

Later, these house amusement parks added bowling balls and other mechanical amusement equipment according to the trend of the times, and it was naturally after the advent of "Space Invaders" (Space Invaders, which is what we call little bees) that really ignited the arcade hall craze.This arcade game appeared one after another in various places in the house amusement park as the "Invader House" room, and later gradually evolved into the arcade game hall in Japan today.

Modern video game arcades are still booming in Japan.In addition to Pachinko, Boqingsao, many online arcade games have appeared one after another, allowing people to go to the arcade hall after their busy lives to find fun with a small 100 yen coin.There are also some relatively modern large-scale playgrounds that have introduced modern technology into the amusement equipment.

Game arcades in Japan are the best places for people from all walks of life to relax and entertain.Speaking of game halls in Japan, most of them refer to claw machines, photo sticker machines, music beat games, fighting machines, etc. It can be said that they are very popular.

Although influenced by the Internet, arcade machines are gradually declining, but there are still arcade machines that are loved by many people, such as now.

It was getting late, but there were still so many people in the game hall, and there were various types of games in it, a dazzling array, it was simply a paradise for arcade game lovers.

This made Merlin couldn't help stepping in here.

As soon as he entered here, what caught his attention the most was a row of claw machines, large and small dolls were displayed in the cabinet, attracting many people to manipulate the shelf to hold the dolls attentively.

Most of the time there was a sound of moaning and sighing, but if someone was very lucky to catch it, then the people around would cast envious glances at that lucky person.

Merlin couldn't help but leaned forward, stuffed the coin, and took a fancy to a black kitten. After careful observation, he aligned the position, and then decisively pressed the button, waiting for the paw to fall naturally and catch the doll. , confidently pressed down, and the wave of operations was as fierce as a tiger. He watched the doll rise and slowly fall into the exit with expectant eyes...

"Snapped……"

Merlin just watched the kitten fall outside.

Merlin's face turned dark.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality and challenged the doll again.

then……

"Crack" "Crack" "Crack"...

Failed dozens of times in a row...never caught it.

"..." Merlin was silent for a moment.

Covering the surroundings with a layer of illusion, a tentacle slowly stretched out from the bottom of the clothes, crawled in along the exit of the claw machine, and rolled up the little black cat.

"..." Arrods.

The great master has his consideration in everything he does!
