Chapter 71

"The Golden Eyes?" Mai asks, confused. Mai had never heard of the Golden Eyes. Wait a minute, let me check," Mai opens her console and looks up what she can find out about the Golden Eyes.

After a short while, Mai says, "I've got it." In a very excited voice. Suzu quickly turns to look at the rabbit to see if it has moved, and then quickly turns back to Mai. "What did you find out." Mai replies." The Golden Eyes were times in an event at the beginning of the game. But they would be removed after not even two hours because they couldn't be defeated, and so the items they drop never get picked up."

Suzu thinks for a moment and then says. "So that means they were too strong and would be removed from the game but are now here in this world." Mai nods and says." Exactly." Suzu is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Suzu turns back to the bunny who is still standing there motionless.

Suzu stands in front of the bunny and turns his head to Mai's left. "So what am I supposed to do now?" Suzu asks in a slightly nervous voice. "i have no idea...but try talking to him." Suzu nervously walks a step forward and says "hello" The rabbit doesn't respond to Suzu. Suzu waves his hand back and forth in front of the rabbit's face. but the rabbit still doesn't respond.

Suzu jumps around him waving his arm and singing but the rabbit still doesn't respond. Dejected, he turns around and wants to run away from the rabbit. When Suzu is about ten meters away, a red lighted window appears.

[Please do not move away. A distance is perceived as a provocation].

Suzu turns around to face the rabbit with a puzzled feeling. He looks the rabbit in the eyes, the eyes are though pitch black with a small purple dot in the center of the eye. Suzu steals into the eye and it fills as if he is falling. His body goes light and a little numb. Suzu can just barely stay on his feet without falling over. After a short while Suzu manages to look away and stand up straight again.

Napa flies to Suzu and asks if all is well. Zu just nods and looks at Mai. Mai says in a mocking tone. "What is it." Suzu replies in exasperation. "has anything changed in the console?" Mei opens the console and looks. After that, Mai says yes, there are three monsters added to this environment, but I can't tell you what they're called because they're only listed under the code 2341."

"Okay, so that means they could be the Golden Eyes, right?" Suzu Mai asked. "Yes, it could be, but I don't know for sure." Suzu is now thinking about what to do. Another window opens in front of Suzu.

[You challenged the Golden Eyes].

"please what!" Shouts Suzu. Suzu can't believe what he just read. He turns to Mai and says in a frightened voice. "We're in a lot of trouble." Mai looks at Suzu with a questioning look. She doesn't understand exactly what Suzu is trying to say. "Okay, Suzu, calm down. What exactly is going on?"

Suzu takes a deep breath and says. "In front of me, a window appeared that said you challenged the Golden Eyes, and that's why we have a problem now," Suzu says quickly so that Mai can understand everything. "Okay, okay, what do we do now? You probably can't win against them, or maybe you can... do you know how to activate the power of a god?"

"I can't just activate it, something always has to happen before I can activate it, but I don't know what to do." Says to in a nervous voice. "okour situation is worse than we thought." Mai says in a worried voice, Suzu just nods his head and smiles slightly. Then he turns back to the rabbit and fetches his sword from the inventory. And once again gets ready to block an attack or attack himself.

But nothing happens. Ten minutes pass without anything happening. The rabbit doesn't move and Suzu doesn't move either. Mai flies to Suzu because the waiting is getting on her nerves. And sits on Suzu's shoulder. "Is this going to happen or are we going to stand here for the rest of our lives?" Mai asks annoyed. Napa sits on the floor and waits for something to happen. "I have no idea if anything will happen to her or not." Says Suzu who is very tense.

Then Suzu puts his sword down at some point because nothing happens anyway. But at the same moment Suzu puts his sword down, the ground starts to shake and a crack appears. The crack is not very big, maybe two meters, but it is big enough for something to climb through.

Through the crack climbs a black shadow with three golden eyes. Suzu says softly. "I see three golden eyes." Mai only replies. "Oh, really, I wouldn't have noticed them." The black shadow stands next to the rabbit. The rabbit disappears just as it appeared.

Now there is only the black shadow with the three golden eyes. Suzu has his sword firmly in his hand, but Suzu's hands are trembling. The shadow slowly moves in Suzu's direction. The shadow is now only 1.5 meters away. Suzu takes a step back. after less than a step, his back hits an invisible wall.

"what the fuck is this?" cries Suzu, looking at Mai and Napa. Mai and Napa are both sitting on the floor looking at Suzu. The shadow goes to just before Suzu's face.

The three eyes move in the shadow like crazy. They do not stay in one place for more than a second. The eyes move through the entire shadow.
