Word Chain Game Host: Chrollo (One)
"Chapter 37
[Stop, wait, no, shut up!]
Holding a stack of papers in one hand, Chrollo looked up from the papers and met eyes with Saiki Kusuo.
"What's wrong? Fellow student who's been temporarily locked up here because you have superpowers."
[Calling me a fellow student won't make the horrible thing you're about to say any less scary.]
"I'm just reading reader reviews, the content isn't something I made up or picked out it's just you get so worked up just hearing that word?" [The word cockroach.]
[Thanks for making a point of not saying the word but thinking it.]
Saiki Kusuo sighed silently in his heart, he can accept reader reviews, he can watch those weird parallel worlds, but why...
Does he have to deal with that G creature every single time? Is it for fun? In the introduction of so many characters at the start, did readers only remember that the super-powered person is afraid of G? It's just G, you should remember that the super-powered person is invincible before you remember that it's very easy to burn down places with G if you really can't bring yourself to deal with them.
Oh dear, oh dear, others might be okay, but this person is thinking too much. It's necessary to tell this person that the fantasies that happen here will become real to some extent.
"Looks like you're worried about something else, so what is it?"
Saiki Kusuo: [So, so, like this...]
Chrollo crossed his legs, tapping his toe on the ground, the chair under him slowly turned around once.
"But we need to pass the time."
Knocking someone out and sleeping is also passing the time.
"Why not make the most of it and play a game? According to what you said, the content of the conversation will come true, and it's not entirely the readers' comments that will come true, if that's the case, we are the controllers of everything, we can just set the rules and play some kind of language power game, I remembered a scene when I was watching an anime called
As everyone knows, Chrollo likes to play.
On a sudden impulse, ordinary people might think a lot, but as long as he doesn't have important matters he will try to get it.
From the thickness of that stack of papers, you can tell the thief is very free.
"Word chain, things that exist will disappear, things that don't exist will appear. As long as the pronunciation between the chained words is the same." Chrollo briefly explained the rules of the game, after looking at Saiki Kusuo, he added another one, "Both of us will participate in this game as ordinary people who have lost all abilities."
Saiki Kusuo: It's completely a beneficial condition for him.
"If you don't make this wish, you'll use words like 'heart' to end the game directly." Chrollo thought about whether there were any unfair conditions that he had missed, "Although this is just a whim of mine, Saiki, do you want to win in the game?"
[It's normal for ordinary people to pursue victory, I won't be humble.] If he would actively admit defeat in fair situations, Kusuke wouldn't have lost so many games.
"So according to what you said, that kind of reality has already appeared in some corner of the universe? What should the first word be?"
[Cockroach.]
"Huh?"
Immediately, Chrollo realized that the game had already started, and the reason why Saiki rarely spoke clearly and used telepathy to say the word he hated most was because things that exist can disappear.
At this moment, cockroaches with extremely strong survival skills disappeared from the world, the world is so beautiful.
…
An ordinary person's body, the disappearance of telepathy, although he had experienced a long time without superpowers once, when it happened again, Saiki Kusuo only felt lucky.
In a small room similar to a radio broadcasting room, Saiki Kusuo and Chrollo already knew the rules of the game and began to think about it from each other's perspective.
In such a game, the condition for winning is when the other person can't come up with a word. Under normal circumstances, with the vocabulary of two people, it's absolutely impossible to easily tell who wins or loses, so in order to win, it's necessary to create situations that affect the other person's judgment, or to put it more bluntly...
It's especially important to find a way to make the other person die without yourself dying.
That's right, since it's a hypothetical world anyway, you can guess more boldly, right? A person like Chrollo, those dark eyes are definitely thinking about how to kill me.
"Werewolf," Chrollo continued, "We seem to have forgotten to set a time limit for thinking, how many minutes do you think is appropriate for an ordinary you?"
Werewolves appeared around them, the small room seemed a bit crowded all of a sudden, and it's hard to say how safe it is for an ordinary person to share a room with werewolves.
A few minutes doesn't matter, shouldn't people who can't say anything after a long time just admit defeat?
People... Saiki Kusuo was about to use telepathy to continue, when he suddenly realized that he had to speak because he didn't have superpowers.
How annoying. "Renminbi." (Chinese currency)
The werewolves were suddenly covered in a stack of red 100-yuan banknotes.
"Is that the currency of which country? Things I've never heard of can also appear now, murals."
Dark things with a dark style appeared on the wall, things like skeletons, spiders, ruins... More like ghost symbols than murals.
"It's the currency of some country with a long history, drawing board." Saiki Kusuo said, and a drawing board appeared in his hand.
"I really want to see it if I have the chance, are you going to use the drawing board to write on? Writing."
Saiki Kusuo picked up a pen and wrote on the board, but found that he couldn't write anything, because the drawing board can be used for writing because the word writing was said means that it's banned? Oh dear, oh dear.
"What things will appear, what will disappear, the standard seems to be uncertain? Books." Saiki Kusuo also researched, there's always a place in the corner of the drawing board world that exists, he said that something disappearing should mean that drawing boards disappearing somewhere else.
Books appeared, piles of ancient books pressed down on the werewolves again.
"Base," Chrollo continued, "It seems that the space we are in is a small independent space, what we have is only what we can see, and things that have appeared and disappeared until now."
Then... that certain initial creature that should have disappeared, won't appear because it doesn't exist, right?
Saiki Kusuo instantly felt a chill down his spine, just as he stood up, Chrollo said, "I just looked around the corners, it's not there. And if it's the setting that the content of the conversation will be realized, I said G when I was reading the reviews at the beginning, G appeared, and then disappeared because you said that word."
Oh dear, oh dear, that means that most things will appear instead of disappearing, it's so good that cockroaches existed from the beginning... Can you really say that?
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
A Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stone statue appeared next to Chrollo.
With the stone statue's devout appearance with his hands clasped together, Chrollo touched the stone statue's bald head indifferently, and somewhat absentmindedly said a word: "Sara..."
A very suspicious pause, Saiki Kusuo observed and didn't see anyone or anything appear, Sara, it's hard not to think of that girl, could it be that Chrollo is talking about Sarasah from the Phantom Troupe's flashback? The dead can be reborn, wouldn't that be possible too...
"Sarajevo."
This person only knew of countries like China now.
"Historical events related to war are more to my liking, I looked up some information when I visited last time, I accidentally remembered it." Chrollo smiled.
Is that so, Saiki Kusuo impolitely called out a person's name, he also wanted to try if people could be called: "Uvogin."
With a bang, a huge figure descended from the sky.
Chrollo: "Ging Freecss."
A homeless guy got lost here.
Saiki Kusuo: "Leomon."
Digital Monster Leomon shook hands and talked with Ging Freecss, Uvogin reached out and arm-wrestled with Leomon.
Chrollo tilted his head and looked at all of this, and was also curious about Leomon: "Beast blood."
Leomon was completely unharmed, the werewolves turned into dried corpses.
Saiki Kusuo frowned, "Snowy day."
Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, in the not-so-cold autumn season, everyone wasn't wearing enough clothes.
"As an ordinary person, you have to have some self-protection ability, Heavenly Restriction."
Restriction... Huh? Wait, what did he say, calling up things from the manga next door isn't allowed, right?
A special ability from the work "Jujutsu Kaisen", two completely opposite categories of "using body conditions to exchange for cursed power" and "using cursed power to exchange for body strength", both have a choice of one extreme.
With Heavenly Restriction, both people's abilities have been lost, what you get under this premise is...
Saiki Kusuo felt that his body strength had been restored, although he didn't make a move, he felt that he could easily kick the living person in front of him in half.
And this kind of body doesn't need to be adapted to, because this isn't uncontrollable superpower, it's power that belongs to him.
It's a pretty convenient supporting ability, Saiki Kusuo understood this and continued: "Father."
"Ah? Where is this, I was just about to take a paid toilet break, Kusuo, don't just call your dad over, really..."
Kunikazu Saiki, Saiki Kusuo's father, holding a newspaper and a roll of toilet paper, it seems he wasn't lying.
But when Kunikazu Saiki turned his head, he met a white wavy long hair, a burly man like a wall.
"Xixixixixi!"
It's Silva.
"Relatives." Chrollo said a simple word, and people who were relatives disappeared.
Saiki Kusuo looked around, Silva, Kunikazu Saiki, Ging Freecss, disappeared.
Who said relationship, people who didn't disappear will be sad. Saiki Kusuo thought about why he didn't count as a "relative".
"It seems that the subject of the word is us," Chrollo said, "Father calling in your father, then relatives is also our respective relative disappearing, as expected."
This person is just using people for experiments.
Chrollo: "There's no way, I don't have any relatives, I can only use yours, if you didn't say father, only Mr. Ging would leave?"
It's my fault?
Saiki Kusuo: "Subordinate."
Other members of the Troupe appeared next to Chrollo, Uvogin disappeared, and the field became lively all of a sudden.
"Don't worry, it's just a little game, things that exist will disappear, things that don't exist will appear." Chrollo turned his head and greeted everyone, and also helpfully explained to everyone.
"Leader, do you need us to help brainstorm?" Shalnark asked.
"No, I can solve it. Philosopher."
Some mysterious old people appeared, what surprised Saiki Kusuo more was that the result of this word wasn't Chrollo disappearing on the spot.
"...I almost thought that the Leader was going to lose directly, why did the Leader say philosopher?" Shizuku was surprised.
"Huh?" Chrollo turned his head, "Why would I lose, are you worried that I won't care about the game after chatting with philosophers?"
"Because the Leader's understanding of philosophy and those things..."
"I believe that everyone knows more or less, these things are taught in social studies classes outside now, simple stuff."
Chrollo chatted casually, his eyes shifting to Saiki Kusuo.
There are too many people, and Saiki Kusuo had obviously thought about the word to answer a long time ago, he pushed open the door to the outside corridor.
"Family." As soon as the voice fell, a lot of people appeared next to Saiki Kusuo, in addition to the two fathers who had already appeared, the Zoldyck family and the Saiki family suddenly gathered in the same place, and the number of people directly approached the number of members behind Chrollo's Phantom Troupe.
"Ah? Is today a big family reunion? You should have said so in advance, the thing in my hand will explode if it doesn't fall into the machine within half an hour."
What are you usually doing, Kusuke.
"Or, Kusuo, move your fingers and bring the machine over? There's just enough money on the floor here, an estimated eighteen billion or so."
No, I'm not a super-powered person right now.
Except for the unusually relaxed Kusuke, the confused Saiki family, the Zoldyck and Phantom Troupe had already confronted each other, observing each other, although everyone hadn't been able to react to what was going on, they trusted Saiki Kusuo and didn't ask much, waiting for some instructions or explanations, Chrollo said two words.
"Human."
