“………….”
I couldn't help but doubt my own eyes for a moment, wondering if they were playing tricks on me. How could someone walk inside a television?
Is this science?
No, of course, this isn't scientific.
Duanmu Ai walked up to the large television, gave it a close examination. It was the largest one in the store, about the size of a window. It was big enough for a person to fit through, but the real question was, why could people enter the television? If it was some kind of special scientific invention, why would it be sold in a store?
Duanmu Ai took a careful look around and noticed that there were a few other people watching the TV. Some of them even reached out to pat the screen, but to them, it seemed like the screen was just a screen.
What was going on?
Curiously, Duanmu Ai reached out to touch the television screen, and then something magical happened–the solid screen turned to water under her touch. She barely felt her fingertip connecting before it passed right through!
“……??? What the hell?”
It sure stunned Duanmu Ai for a moment. Out of caution, she tried touching a few other TVs of various sizes, and found that their screens could also be penetrated.
What was this about? Why hadn't she noticed this before? Well… It's not like she had ever randomly touched TV screens before.
Besides, what sane person goes around touching TV screens except when cleaning them? It's not like they're children.
Anyway, I'll figure it out after I go in.
After considering for a moment, Duanmu Ai decided to go in. She looked around once more to make sure no one was watching, then walked towards the large television–and just like that, she entered through the screen.
Stepping through the screen felt very strange, like diving into a pool. Duanmu Ai felt a chill breeze brush past her, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself not in the home appliance section of a supermarket, but in a world with an eerie atmosphere.
The place was bathed in deep crimson, shrouded in dense fog, with a bizarre castle visible in the distance.
Hm… What kind of place is this?
Duanmu Ai thought for a while, then took out her communicator to try and contact Lumiaire… Okay, no connection, but that was expected.
In any case, I'll know once I go inside.
Thinking this, Duanmu Ai was just about to enter when she suddenly remembered something.
She had heard from a classmate about Koji Nishi appearing on late-night television, so could this have something to do with that?
Wait, if that's the case, wouldn't people outside the TV be able to see me?
That won't do!
With that thought, Duanmu Ai frowned. She didn't want her battles to be seen by some random people outside. She could already be on television now, so she had to find a way… That's it.
Duanmu Ai reached into her pocket and pulled out a mirror. This was a prize that Duanmu Huai had won in the game–the Realm of Transformation. Simply put, this mirror could transform a player's appearance as desired, changing everything except gender, including height, weight, and skin color. Initially, Duanmu Ai used this mirror to escape from Night City–after all, by transforming into a form completely different from D, no one could recognize her.
And now, Duanmu Ai was using that transformed appearance.
But just to be safe, she decided to transform again.
Hm…
Duanmu Ai browsed through the options in the Realm of Transformation, then her eyes lit up.
I'll choose this one!
Meanwhile, inside the castle, a group of boys and girls were caught in a tough battle.
“What the hell are these things?”
The blond boy with glasses yelled out in anger while raising his hand. As he did, an odd entity emerged behind him, blocking the monsters' attack from the front.
“Aren't they Electronic Demons?”
“These things don't look anything like Electronic Demons.”
Another girl fighting alongside him was distracted but still managed to respond.
In this world, in this era, people were very familiar with Electronic Demons. Although they were indeed powerful and typically had their emotions and thoughts, the monsters appearing before them resembled Electronic Demons but lacked any sense of self-awareness. Instead, they seemed more like robots programmed to act, attacking any intruders on sight to eliminate them.
Just like now.
“It's all Satonaka's fault, you were the one who insisted on coming in here…”
“But Yukiko…”
The man's complaint was met with the clenched teeth of a girl with short hair, and at that moment, another boy among them made a decision.
“Let's retreat. There are too many enemies ahead. There's no way we can win with our current strength. Going any deeper means certain death.”
“We have no choice then; let's get out of here quick… Whoa!”
