Word Chain Game Host: Chrollo (End)
——（Hammer.）
Chrollo almost got hit by the suddenly appearing hammer. He thought deeply, and those black bugs appeared near his feet.
The game is still going on, and Saiki won't cheat, because cheating would take away the meaning of the game.
It could be... Saiki is still talking next to me, the problem is with me, he's talking, I can't hear him, he's there, I can't see him.
It must be closely related to those fierce ghosts from earlier. They're not something I'm afraid of, but Saiki has turned them into something that can really affect me.
What does "ghost hitting wall" really mean?
If I continue the word chain, after "sickle" comes... hammer? Chrollo slowly answered: "Hammer."
Nothing disappeared, and nothing new appeared. Was the answer wrong? Another possibility is... mallet?
"Headache." Chrollo held his head after answering, even though he said the word to test if speaking still had any effect, the effect was a bit of a payback.
——（Pain.）
The headache disappeared, and various pains appeared in the body.
Chrollo guessed the word and said backward: "Hatred."
——（Trace.）
The fierce ghosts' hatred for Chrollo disappeared.
Chrollo in the "ghost hitting wall" felt a lot easier, but waited a long time for the next obvious change.
Nothing appeared, so did something disappear? He searched for words that sounded like "hate" but had different meanings.
"Hate" has already disappeared, Saiki should avoid words with the same meaning, otherwise, he would win too easily given my situation, then I need to change homophones.
Nothing appeared, Chrollo carefully observed his surroundings, and suddenly noticed... the previous collapse, full of loopholes, left dust and stone debris in the room, but his footprints didn't stay behind him.
Outside the window, the avalanche that had been rumbling all the way finally crashed forward, covering the entire window. Chrollo said: "Seasonal change."
White snow melted into water, dead trees sprouted. The collapsed snow turned into a rushing river, still crashing into the castle.
Chrollo stood on the furniture and looked around, he needed to quickly get out of this strange state, this time he guessed right, but it won't necessarily be easy to guess next time.
——（Turntable.）
The ruins started to spin. Chrollo quickly ran out of the ruins, but he couldn't get out.
"Ghost hitting wall," the only unknown word that can explain the current abnormal phenomenon.
What word did Saiki answer? Rotate? Wheel? If it's turning in circles, then turntable?
He said: "Bullet train, ship, flat peaches."
——（Momonosuke.）
Chrollo held onto the wall, walking against the direction of the spin to steady his mind. The water had already leaked out of the castle's holes, but suddenly a little boy appeared in front of him.
People shouldn't appear, what is this creature in front of us? Chrollo made eye contact with the boy.
"What's your name?" Chrollo asked.
"My name is, my name is..." Momonosuke couldn't stand still, and couldn't speak for a long time.
Chrollo pressed him to the ground with one hand, and coldly ordered: "Say, your name."
"Momonosuke! My name is Momonosuke!"
"Wolf pack."
"Awoo—!" A long howl came from afar.
——（Attack in groups.）
The wolf pack came in groups from afar, staring at the ruins, then went into it through doors and windows, after a quick surround, the leading wolf suddenly gave an order, and the wolves attacked the two targets in the field.
One target was Chrollo, and the other was the spot where Chrollo saw air.
Chrollo narrowed his eyes: "Offense and defense."
He got a strong steel pipe, and Chrollo easily smashed several wolves over with the pipe. The wolves' weak point is in their back, and hitting the right spot would cripple them.
They're just ordinary wolves.
——（Prepare for college entrance exam.）
Chrollo reached out to continue fighting the wolves, but suddenly a set of test papers appeared in his hand.
???
He dodged the falling test papers, and slowly said: "Preparing for exams? Torture tool."
Momonosuke shivered next to him, he had already seen this person's violence! A dangerous person!
The torture tool fell to the ground, he was scared!
And turned into a dragon.
Momonosuke, an animal-type ability user who ate an artificial devil fruit in One Piece, can transform into a peach-colored Chinese dragon and fly in the air.
Chrollo was surprised to see the dragon, did Saiki say a word? What word can make someone turn into a dragon? No, this dragon knows his own body well, and humans shouldn't be appearing anymore, this child is someone who can turn into a dragon.
——（Sniper rifle.）
There are more weapons.
"You! What are you going to do! I am the young master of the Kozuki family of Kuri in Wano, if you hurt, if you hurt me!" The peach-colored little dragon squirmed on the ground, revealing a cowardly demeanor, his behavior far from the majesty associated with the word "dragon."
Chrollo picked up the sniper rifle with one hand, aiming the muzzle at Momonosuke.
Although he was also curious about the dragon's body hardness, continuing the game is more important now.
Raising the gun, a one-handed shot without using a scope hit the wolf standing on the high ground in the distance who was observing the situation behind Momonosuke. Chrollo thought.
The room was still spinning, the wolves had already become afraid of him after he killed the wolf leader with one shot, the safety problem was solved.
Saiki probably also has the same sniper rifle, Chrollo threw the gun, piercing a wolf, and said the word: "Bullet."
Without bullets, the sniper rifle won't hit him, although Saiki is less likely to use a gun.
This is an environment where you can do anything you want, but who knows if he would want to try it? People's hearts change easily, especially in a game without rules that won't become reality.
——（Marble.）
Saiki Kusuo is waiting for an opportunity.
As long as the word chain doesn't involve ghosts, he can maintain an absolute advantage for a long time. "Ghost hitting wall" is a good word, but the ghosts' resentment has disappeared, so this opportunity must be found quickly.
Chrollo looked at the marble at his feet and said: "Candlelight dinner."
A long dining table, candlelight, rich food on the table, even a cake.
Chrollo tapped on the table with one hand.
The red velvet cloth prevented the plates on the table from sliding off due to the centrifugal force of the rotation, but the candles quickly went out due to the spinning.
The main point is that he needs to strengthen his connection with the outside world in order to get out of this strange state.
——（Meal.）
All the food on the table disappeared. Luckily, Saiki Kusuo thought to himself, lucky he wasn't lured to sit down and eat the cake, although the spinning table also reduced his appetite.
The things on the table disappeared, Chrollo briefly fell silent and decided to completely change the environment. "Stone brick."
The structure of the castle is mostly built with stone bricks.
Another moment of weightlessness, followed by the sound of things or people landing.
The place he was at finally stopped spinning, because the turntable underneath was jammed by debris.
——（Dedicated path.）
Fences and sloped roads appeared around him. Chrollo saw the words "disabled access" written on the fence, and there were various other categories of paths nearby.
Closely connected, like a maze.
"Mourning."
Countless flowers suddenly appeared on the dedicated path, wreaths, flower baskets, and white candles.
Saiki Kusuo was in a pile of wreaths with a dark face.
But he didn't push the wreaths away, what's worse is that Chrollo actually wanted to turn the ghost into a Buddha through mourning.
The advantage is about to disappear, isn't it.
Then... let's do something sneaky.
——（Namazuo Toushirou.）
One of the Japanese swords, Chrollo could only see a sword appear, and couldn't guess the full name no matter what, he won.
"Yo! I'm Namazuo Toushirou, I used to be a halberd..." But a black-haired boy with a long tail appeared.
Why is the sword introducing himself! Damn it, is the impression of sword boys deeper than the actual swords in the museum?
"Saiki really knows a lot of non-humans..." Even Chrollo was embarrassed, he clearly canceled the human layer to exclude complicated human names.
"Langjiu wine."
——（Kyubi.）
A tall Kyubi appeared, Chrollo looked up.
Kyubi, a creature that appeared at the beginning of Naruto, he knows a little about it.
Polar reversal, now Saiki is constantly testing danger, in the "ghost hitting wall" with cognitive errors, he has to protect himself more.
At least, this kind of world-destroying creature...
"Tailed beast."
It must disappear.
From the moment his name was defined as a word, Saiki Kusuo thought that his chances of winning were too great.
The two words before and after a word need logic, and a meaning must exist to turn two random words into a single word.
A name itself has a unique meaning. Chrollo Lucilfer, this name is as ordinary as randomly generated to Saiki Kusuo, but to some people in this world, it may be an object of resentment that has been repeated countless times, or a belief they have been familiar with for many years. As long as they mention the name, they think of the image, its majesty, its darkness, its appearance.
As long as there are such people, good or bad, you can't say that the name is just six ordinary letters put together.
Saiki Kusuo has telepathy and has heard countless people call countless names. In fact, as long as he uses unfamiliar names in response, and keeps the last word always with a fixed pronunciation, there will always be a moment when Chrollo runs out of words.
Even if he turned over the dictionary, he would not be able to go past what total number that knows of names.
Chrollo understood this a long time ago, so he took the risk of forbidding humans at the first moment when he tried to test with names.
However, it's not just humans who have names. He can also use countless names to answer if he changes to non-humans, using the same method to place Chrollo in an unbeatable position. Creatures from different worldviews, if he forbids tailed beasts, he can call contract beasts, Digimon, Pokemon, Shinigami (a type), etc.
Ordinary people have very rich spiritual lives.
Chrollo had accidentally been to Saiki Kusuo's world, and had watched "shounen manhua" with "utilitarian" purposes. Has he watched comedy manhua?
If "Saiki Kusuo's Disasters" and "Gintama" could be anthropomorphized, they would definitely have a senior and junior relationship, and the junior who is good at listening will always deeply remember the glorious deeds of the senior in an unknown place.
For example, in "Gintama" there is a little monkey with a long name, the full name of little Poop Maru.
——（Jugem Jugem Unko Nageki Machine... 200 words omitted... Maru.）
If Chrollo could guess such a name, then he would really be a freak.
A little monkey appeared and made eye contact with Chrollo. The clever eyes made Chrollo feel that this animal wasn't simple. But when he wanted to ask the monkey suddenly threw his face a handful of poop!
Kikyo, Chrollo ducked.
It will be difficult to find out this certain name from the monkey a shot time from this commuicating, it is difficult to climb the sky.
...
Chrollo loses.
[So I said, you can't win by playing games with a superpower user.]
"Although the rules weren't fully defined, it had some impact. The root cause was that I failed on knowledge face."
[Are you talking about the word "ghost hitting wall"? Isn't the really reason because your the evil deeds is to entagled to fierce ghosts? ]
"But what exactly was that agile monkey at the end... what's its name?"
[That name will will use up the voice actors strength, all release can easily be defined as a copy the contents this is just the standard degree two hundred word count that has a lot words that has a real two hundred words to save, do you still want to hear it?]
"I'm even more curious."
[Jugem Jugem Unko Nageki Machine... 200 words omitted... Maru.]
"...Rare, these are the names that I can't remember."
