Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

Plant mushrooms on Hayasaka and Kaguya. This time, the mushrooms are the same: one is a Jealousy Mushroom, and the other is still a Slaanesh Mushroom.

Natsuki Amamiya casually planted a mushroom for herself, and then the three of them went to the inpatient building.

“There are six floors in total,” Natsuki Amamiya assigned. “We’ll each find two floors.”

"Senior, please be careful."

To put it simply, Natsuki Amamiya is responsible for searching the first and second floors, Ai Hayasaka is responsible for the third and fourth floors, and Kaguya Shinomiya is responsible for searching the fifth and sixth floors.

The three of them quickly got to work.

As a doctor, Amamiya Natsuki, dressed in a white coat, walked in and out of the wards with an air of nonchalance. However, after making his rounds, he found neither Chika nor Haimeng, nor did he spot his senior.

"Is it up there? Or are there unexplored areas?"

Natsuki Amamiya stood on the first floor, frowning in thought. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a nurse walking into the corridor and gradually disappearing from sight.

"Ok?"

Amamiya Natsuki squinted, then suddenly perked up.

Like shopping malls, hospitals usually have a basement level, but I only searched the ground floor and didn't go into the basement.

Maybe the senior student went down to the underground level because she hadn't found anything, and that's when something happened that caused her to lose contact.

Amamiya Natsuki made a decision quickly.

Let's go down and take a look.

There's no need to wait for Kaguya and Hayasaka to return, because they had already copied the skills from Komi when they set off, so they can exchange information at any time in case of any situation, just in case.

Chapter 428 Fujiwara Chika: Lie still, don't move.

After making her decision, Natsuki Amamiya wasted no time and went straight to the basement level.

Da da da.

Footsteps echoed in the silent, gloomy corridor.

A strange chill crept in, and the further I walked, the more eerie the atmosphere became.

Natsuki Amamiya had never been to the basement level before and was wondering what would be down there. But when she came down, she discovered that... it was actually an underground parking lot.

And it's not just one layer.

Besides the underground parking lot, the stairwell extends downwards, indicating that there is still space below.

Amamiya Natsuki stood at the corner of the corridor, looking thoughtful.

The parking lot was scattered with many cars, many of which were covered in dust, indicating that they hadn't been driven for a long time.

The entire underground parking garage was eerily quiet; there were no pedestrians in sight, nor could one hear any vehicles moving.

"Should we check these cars?"

"Except for gender, everyone's role is completely random. Maybe someone will play the role of an unlucky guy locked in a car, crying out to heaven and earth in vain."

After a two-second pause, Natsuki Amamiya quickly made a decision.

"Check it again first."

After all...he has come.

Amamiya Natsuki walked to the nearest car and knocked on the window.

There was no movement inside the car.

"Very good, next one."

The inspection method is super simple: if no one responds, just move on to the next vehicle.

They inspected more than a dozen vehicles, and they were all empty.

Just when Amamiya Natsuki thought there would be no results, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow moving slightly in a car in the corner of her eye.

"Ok?"

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly and walked over.

The car is a Honda. It's clean and there's no dust on it. The windows are covered with privacy film, so you can't see inside.

dong dong dong.

Natsuki Amamiya raised her hand and tapped on the car window.

"..."

There was no response from inside; only silence.

"Stop hiding..."

Amamiya Natsuki took out a spare flashlight, turned it on, and shone it into the car. Through the light, a little girl appeared inside. She had a bob haircut and her figure clearly indicated that she was an elementary school student, probably only seven or eight years old. She was curled up in the back seat, looking out warily.

Looking at the elementary school students inside, Natsuki Amamiya smiled and said gently:

"I've already found you."

"..."

The elementary school student in the car trembled slightly, but made no sound. His eyes became more alert, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

"Little friend, are you trapped inside the car?"

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle will get you out right away."

He reached out and pulled on the car door, but it was locked and wouldn't budge.

"No need for help." The elementary school student became even more nervous, timidly backing away, and a faint voice came from inside the car, "...Mom and Dad will be back soon."

"It's weird."

Amamiya Natsuki sensed something was wrong.

If it were a patient's family member, seeing a doctor coming over, they should be happy and ask for help to get out of trouble, rather than trying to get themselves out of the predicament.

Could it be a player?

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

"Look what this is!"

Natsuki Amamiya pointed to the top of her head.

"……mushroom?"

The little girl in the car looked puzzled.

confirmed.

It wasn't Hai Meng or Qian Hua, otherwise, as soon as they saw the mushroom, they would pitifully beg me to open the door quickly.

"We need to find a way to confirm whether the other party is a player."

Amamiya Natsuki pondered for a moment.

If a player is truly an unlucky soul trapped in a car, we can't just stand by and watch them die.

If they hadn't noticed, that would have been fine, but if they had and hadn't helped, my conscience would have been a little troubled.

I stared at the elementary school students in the car for several seconds, but no prompt appeared.

This thing doesn't provide all the details or give you hints about everything; it just appears from time to time and you can't rely on it completely.

"I've come up with a solution."

Amamiya Natsuki looked down at the elementary school student in the car and smiled. "I'll ask you a question. After you answer, I'll leave."

After a pause, Natsuki Amamiya asked a question that could determine the player's identity:

"What ethnicity is Britain's youngest prime minister descended from?"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this question, the elementary school student in the car immediately widened his eyes, quickly sat up from his curled-up position, leaned close to the window, and answered nervously with a mixture of excitement and trepidation on his face:

"He is of Indian descent... a large Conservative MP, whose name is Sunak."

“Correct answer.” Amamiya Natsuki smiled. “Now, do you want me to rescue you?”

"...Please!"

Under the astonished gaze of the elementary school students, Natsuki Amamiya took a hammer out of her game backpack and violently smashed the car window in a simple and brutal manner.

"You can come out now."

Amamiya Natsuki calmly withdrew her hammer.

The elementary school student had a strange expression. He opened his mouth, whispered his thanks, and then climbed out of the car. Despite his small size, he was quite agile.

It was clear that the elementary school student was quite wary. After coming out, although he thanked her gratefully, he did not approach Amamiya Natsuki, but instead quietly took a half step back.

After all, no matter how you look at it... Natsuki Amamiya is not a proper doctor.

"Thank you so much for earlier." The elementary school student hesitated for a moment, then took out a rice ball. "Please accept this."

Amamiya Natsuki did not refuse; it was clear that the other party intended to repay the favor from earlier and did not want to owe anyone a favor.

It's more accurate to say that among ordinary players, mutual wariness and caution are the norm.

Knowing the face but not the heart.

Although dungeons are not PvP and players don't need to kill each other, it's not uncommon for players to push other players out as shields and escape when danger arises.

After receiving the rice ball, Natsuki Amamiya quickly saw the game appraisal in front of her eyes.
