Why is my time traveling to the second dimension such a weird rule story?

But it looks like a human, wearing an orange suit, a top hat and a hideous clown mask. At this moment, it bowed slightly to him, as if preparing for a performance.

A strong sense of crisis enveloped his whole body in an instant.

Without any hesitation, Gao Hai activated Alice's blessing at this moment, pulled Zhenfei Chihua Goto and Jianzi into it, and then closed the door.

That thing just now... is it some kind of weird thing?

What on earth can make me feel like this?

"Huh..."

Gao Hai let out a long breath.

However, after entering this [Alice's Room], there is no need to worry about such things. After all, in this place, he will not be affected by [external forces].

Thinking of this, Gao Hai paused for a moment, and then turned to look at his companions.

Chapter 40: Analysis, thinking and speculation about the core [Eri Asamoto]

"Huh... This is a Red Moon-level copy... It's really a scary place in many ways."

In the small room, Fujiwara Chika whispered while holding a cup and taking a sip of hot water.

"... That's all the information that Ms. Kumamie gave us."

On the other side of the room, Shinki handed the blood-stained homework paper to Gao Hai, and after saying some of what she knew and speculated, she also sat down, sighed and said nothing more.

"... That, water."

Goto Ichiri, who became more restrained because of the increase in strangers, handed Shinki a cup of hot water, who quickly took it and thanked her seriously.

"..."

Jinzi had recovered at this time, but her condition was not very good. The pain of death that lasted for ten minutes made her still a little dazed at the moment. Maybe she would need to wait a while before she could recover.

Considering that Jinzi is now connected to the watch, even if Gao Hai returns, she will not forget the pain she endured this time. For a high school girl, this must be a terrible memory, but Gao Hai felt a little bit of sympathy. After all, on the other hand, from now on, maybe he won't have to endure the pain and torture brought by all kinds of strange ways of dying alone.

Uh, no, forget it. There's no need for Jianzi to bear this kind of thing with me. Let's think more about how to get this copy as soon as possible and solve the problem first.

Thinking of this, Gao Hai lowered his head and looked at the obsession left by Xiong Mi again.

At this moment, this piece of paper also recorded some things that Xiong Mi saw and heard at the last moment, as well as her analysis and thinking about it.

First of all, it can be confirmed that the patio area in the center of the main teaching building of Yeluoshan Middle School is the place where the bodies of the dead in this area are piled. Most of the victims who died in this copy will be put into the patio in the middle of the main teaching building and filled in the soil. Some of the victims who were filled in should be alive, such as Asamoto Eriko, who is the core obsession, was buried alive in a conscious state.

The participants in the burial alive were mainly students, and the whole school was basically aware of it. Such a horrific act was repeated in this school, which was obviously an extremely abnormal thing. Therefore, Xiong Mi speculated that there should be some kind of strange story that directly affected the students' state, which caused all this, making the students who were still alive before the duplication of Yeluoshan Middle School become so crazy and terrible, and they could not see the problem at ordinary times.

The second point is that the club [Kaidansha] was confirmed to be a strange story through Xiong Mi's own vision. Among the students who were still alive at that time, the club did not exist at all. The students regarded this club as a strange story, and according to the reasons for the students' persecution of Eriko Asamoto, it seems that this club itself represents something extremely terrifying. So that one of the key reasons for Eriko Asamoto's persecution was "picking up the recruitment poster of the strange story club".

Could this strange story club be a way for [Takamagahara] to manifest its power in Yeluoshan Middle School? By using this non-existent club with a ghost story nature, those scums who were not cleared out in the past can hurt more and more innocent people, turn the whole school into a slaughterhouse of hell, and allow this school to remain undetected after so many terrorist incidents, and run peacefully until a student makes a big bomb.

In any case, at least the location of the body of one of the core obsessions has been confirmed. And, the location of the "teacher" she has been waiting for, which is closely related to the wish of this core obsession, can also be guessed.

After all, Xiong Mi clearly heard the rules described by those students, about "If the teacher who is friendly to Eriko cannot be driven away, he will be buried in the mud behind the old school building."

Could it be the place that was investigated before?

Gao Hai recalled the abandoned school building that he and Miko Goto had explored before, where there was no strange thing, and thought about whether there was a muddy area behind the school building.

No, wait, it may not be that school building.

There is an obvious time confusion in the copy of Yeluoshan Middle School now. The exchange of the new and old teaching buildings is one aspect, and the static school building is another aspect. However, it is hard to say whether the open space behind the school building is included in the condition of the school building itself. After all, only in the school building within the campus will there be a female ghost who jumps off the building and wander around, and there will be a rule of "absolutely not going to the rooftop".

There is really no way to confirm which situation it will be at this time.

After all, the people in the main campus who can coordinate with Gao Hai's side no longer exist.

Kaguya and Hayasaka probably can't recall themselves as clearly as Maki Chika. They may also feel that something is wrong, but it is indeed a bit too difficult to realize where the problem is when their memories are blocked. Moreover, even if they can sense that something is wrong now, it is useless. After all, their strength is still too weak. You know, Maki Chika and the others can only survive when Xiong Mi saves them. Well... Although they were in danger to save Gao Hai, strictly speaking, the source of the problem was his own problem when he went to investigate the teaching building in the middle of the night.

If I think about it this way, I feel like it's all my own fault... But, this is actually not wrong. After I got the black watch and the ability to start over, I was obviously much bolder and more deadly in the first round of exploring the dungeon. This led to other people taking more risks with me, so... No, it's meaningless to think about this now, so I'd better think about what to do next.

Gao Hai closed his eyes, sat down against the wall, and slowly let out a breath.

[Ye Luoshan Middle School], this dungeon is different from the dungeons he has experienced before. Gao Hai did not feel an extremely strong sense of oppression from the beginning. There were few moments of exhaustion, and he often had plenty of time to rest. In contrast, except for those strange stories that would come to his face, the information isolation mechanism of the dungeon itself gradually compressed what he could do, making him fall into an increasingly passive situation.

It is definitely impossible to return to the campus during the day. In the current state, going back during the day is basically the same as seeking death.

If we return to the campus at night... maybe it is feasible, but the patio of the main teaching building at night is a place that must be avoided according to the rules. The danger of entering there is probably far beyond imagination. The open space behind the school building may also hide some fatal dangers. After all, night is the time when those ghost stories are active.

Maybe we can try to return to the campus during the students' nap time? No, no, although there is a nap time at noon, not all students will take a nap, and the current state of our group is to the point where we may be in trouble if we are witnessed by those weird students, so this way is not possible.

Alas, it is really a troublesome situation. However, at least the strategy for [Eriko Asamoto] has been figured out.

Considering that she and [Teacher] failed to fulfill their agreement, Gao Hai guessed that as long as she found the body of the teacher and brought it to the body of Eriko Asamoto. Or bring Eriko Asamoto's body to the body of the teacher, maybe this core obsession can be relieved.

However, this is just a preliminary guess. After all, Gao Hai has thought that he might have occupied the identity of the mysterious teacher when he entered the dungeon this time. In this case, Goto Ichiri took out the obsession object in front of him many times but he did not react, which means that his idea is probably not correct. But no matter what, the unfulfilled [promise] must occupy an extremely important part of the growth of this obsession, and it is inevitable to break this obsession.

However, at this point, there is a question that Gao Hai has not been able to solve.

Why is [Eriko Asamoto] the core obsession?

Looking at the dungeons experienced in the past, Li Zhaodi is the source of the tragedy of Shirakawa Apartment, Andres and Hedar are the source of the tragedy and the final gravedigger of the Red Nut Gray Cave, Hirano Sosuke is the gravedigger of Fujika Junior High School, and Chiyo Hachiya is the final product and gravedigger of Hayate Elementary School. In other words, the core obsession can be the source or the final result that leads to the formation of the dungeon. It is the executioner who jumps out at the end of the story to kill everything, and it must occupy one or both ends of the cause and effect in the dungeon cause and effect.

By analogy, the executioner of the Nightfall Mountain Middle School dungeon, Morihara Koji, who blew up the school, can be considered the result of the "reality" of this dungeon area, and as the ultimate result of [Strange Stories Come True], the strange story that is considered to have no root, represents the result of the "theory" of this dungeon area. In other words, these two core obsessions can find corresponding positions and can explain their core status.

But Asamoto Eriko does not seem to have this interpretation.

Her death and strangeness should be after the war. In theory, she is not the first strange story that [Takamagahara] has studied in Nightfall Mountain Middle School. There is Morihara Koji behind her, so she is even less likely to be the final result. Her death did not change the school. After her death, Nightfall Mountain Middle School is still operating normally, and those classmates who killed her don't seem to be affected. Just like the strange stories that have been circulated in this school, the existence of Asamoto Eriko seems to be no different from other strange stories.

But she has been confirmed as one of the core obsessions of the dungeon by the player teams that have explored this dungeon, and Goto Ichiri has actually taken away her core obsession guitar.

Why?

What is so special about this girl?

Obviously her whole process from enrollment to death was not special, and it was not much different from all the tragedies that happened in Yeluoshan Middle School. It was obvious that she did not play an important role in the timeline of the dungeon... Wait, time?

Gao Hai suddenly remembered that the most terrifying function of the guitar owned by Goto Ichiri was not to create a clone, but to place the clone directly in the past history and directly change history through the manipulation of the clone.

Although this ability has many limitations, it cannot change history too much, and once the time span is too long, Goto Ichiri will be unable to bear it. However, this is indeed the ability to affect time. It is far better than any obsession Gao Hai has ever seen, and it is enough to be called a miraculous ability.

In the copy of [Campus Myths] that I investigated before, there was information that mentioned that Yeluoshan Middle School was the only school that successfully produced destructive results during the war. However, this result has been questioned by researchers from other schools, and judging from the subsequent historical development, the outcome of the war has not changed, which means that this so-called result is actually quite limited and cannot really change anything.

Could it be... that the result is [Eriko Asamoto]?

Her ghost stories took shape after the war, but because of the characteristics of her ghost stories, people in [Takamagahara] were able to use her to influence the past, making her the [earliest ghost story] or other important causal factors that occupied the copy. s things?

Thinking of this, Gao Hai broke into a cold sweat.

He originally thought that through Xiong Mi's sacrifice, he had been able to crack one of the three core obsessions of Yeluoshan Middle School. But now after careful analysis based on the clues in hand, it has revealed greater doubts and more things that are uncertain.

If this continues, what should we do?

"Ahai?"

The time for thinking seemed long, but for Gao Hai, who was now fully strengthened, this series of analysis and thinking actually only took him a few seconds.

So when Qianhua called him softly, the water in the cup Gao Hai held in his hand was still boiling hot.

"What's wrong?"

Gao Hai turned to look at Qianhua, watching the lively girl move and sit closer.

"It's time to rest for a while. No matter what you have in mind, you have to wait until a few hours later, when this house is about to disappear."

Qianhua smiled as she spoke, and reached out to poke the side of Gao Hai's face, then moved closer.

"Well, I know, don't worry, I won't let myself get tired."

Gao Hai didn't pay much attention to Qianhua's intimate behavior, he just replied casually, and then drank another sip of water from the glass.

"Even if you say that, Ah Hai, you haven't taken good care of yourself. Everyone is worried about this."

Qianhua's shoulders and Gao Hai's shoulders were already touching. She sat against Gao Hai and turned her head to rest on Gao Hai's shoulder. Her voice became weaker and weaker, like a whisper meant only for him.

"Is there? Maybe, I know, I will take a good rest."

Seeing the other party's insistence, Gao Hai smiled helplessly and put down the cup in his hand.

The night light in the bedroom cast a soft light, and the shadows of Gao Hai and Qian Hua leaning against each other trembled slightly on the wall.

Qianhua herself had raised her head slightly and put her lips against Gao Hai's ear.

Then, she spoke softly to Gao Hai:

Meow~

Chapter 41: The Curse Rooted in the Heart, and Death Repeated for the Second Time

There was no mental preparation at all.

It's just the moment between breaths.

The tranquility one second turned into cold suffocation the next.

Meow~

A high-pitched meow sounded from afar.

A strong chill enveloped his whole body in an instant.

There is something in this small room, spreading and spreading, but no trace can be found.

There was no way to see that thing clearly.

However, he could feel the presence of the other party, he could feel that the malicious thing was looking at him, and he could feel the coldness and terror that penetrated deep into his bones and seemed to freeze everything.

Meow~

Another delicate meow sounded.

Gao Hai raised his head and saw the thin, lame, dirty black kitten sitting on the bed.

Is it that cat?

Why... This is Alice's cabin, a shelter formed by the power of blessing. It is impossible for external forces to affect this place.

The room has fallen silent.

The light becomes darker.

Gao Hai could no longer see clearly his companions sitting in the room. They were supposed to be in the same room as him, but now he couldn't see clearly where they were.

He just felt cold, and felt a strong coldness spreading throughout his body.

Meow~

The black kitten walked up to him at some point, raised its head, and stared at Gao Hai indifferently with a pair of sharp yellow vertical pupils.

Why is it here?

In a daze, Gao Hai stretched out his hand and touched the black kitten.

But his hands didn't touch anything.

The black cat was passed through by Gao Hai's fingers, but he only felt that it touched the air.

Why can't I touch it?

It's clearly here...

No, that's not right...

Is that so? It's not here, it hasn't entered this place, it's just... in my consciousness, in my mind?

Gao Hai finally understood.

The second core obsession of [Ye Luoshan Middle School], the ability of the lame black cat that was once raised by Morihara Koji, is to use sound as a medium to launch a curse.

Just like the plague brought by the virus, the power of this obsession no longer requires the obsession itself to continue to exist after it is launched. The victims affected by the obsession will be constantly eroded by the curse power generated in their bodies until death comes.

No wonder those fanatic players had no intention of stopping their escape. It turned out that they had been infected the moment they heard the cat's cry?

Even if they were transferred to places that players could not find or enter, the result would not change at all. Because the source of the curse was in his own body, and it did not require anything external to work.

Meow~

A sharp and piercing cat cry like a baby crying sounded.
