Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Page 1039

On the strange bus, Ichiji Nijika, who was full of worry, heard Takami's voice.

[I received the item I had been longing for.]

The lawyer, who was struggling to suppress the core obsession on the ghost train, heard Gao Hai's voice.

You all did a great job, now it's my turn.

Everyone who was still alive on the battlefield heard Gao Hai's voice at that moment.

hum-

Thus, the core obsession that the lawyer had already obtained, belonging to the [Writer], shattered under Gao Hai's power, and one of the four core obsessions of the final Red Moon-level instance under the control of the [Hospital] was forcibly released.

buzz-

A powerful wave of contamination instantly surged towards Zhenfei. The enraged [Hospital] intervened, attempting to annihilate the players who had brought the core obsession. However, before the contaminant's power could even get close, Gao Hai's golden flames erupted from Zhenfei and Xiaohua, forcefully pushing it back.

Then, the second Red Moon-level core obsession hidden in the ghost train shattered under Gao Hai's gaze. Thus, the hospital was left with only two Red Moon-level core obsessions under its control, and the ghosts belonging to the core obsessions began to perish one after another, with more than half of them disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Faced with this situation, the hospital responded by releasing its power even more recklessly, even forcibly controlling the strange train that should have collapsed and dissipated, causing it to break free from the control of the strange bus and become active again.

Golden light scattered and danced, taking away several Red Moon level players from the ghost train to prevent them from being killed or injured in the rampage at the [Hospital].

Inside the eerie bus, a thoroughly exhausted Maki wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She wanted to fight the enemy one last time, but suddenly saw a golden, illusory hand grip the steering wheel. After a moment of surprise, Maki released her grip, and the eerie bus, which should have been out of control, began a new round of acceleration.

Buzz! ! !

In the ruins ahead, the eerie train, almost completely transformed into flesh and blood and wreathed in ominous black and red power, was already hurtling straight down.

And this strange bus, burning with golden flames, also under Gao Hai's will, burst forth with power far exceeding its limit in an instant, rushing straight forward to meet the strange train ahead.

boom--

The moment the two sides collided, the surging and scattered force almost destroyed the entire outer battlefield, sweeping away all the monsters that the [Hospital] had not had time to evacuate.

The ground within a radius of tens of kilometers was instantly cratered with a depth of at least a hundred meters, and the howling sound waves could be heard hundreds of kilometers away. Even though the enclosed space surrounding the entire city of Tokyo had reduced the destructive effect of the supernatural power by at least 60%, this attack still left scars on the earth that were visible to satellites in outer space.

Of course, no players would die as a result. The moment Gao Hai made the decision to fight, he was confident that he could protect everyone present. Therefore, when the smoke cleared and the moment when the destruction finally came to a halt, the survivors looked up from the ruins and saw the completely destroyed and powerless Strange Train slowly collapsing and dissipating, and the Strange Bus, which was unharmed and even more solid because it had been infused with too much of Gao Hai's power, burning with golden flames.

"Is it finally...over?"

One player, watching the strange creatures begin to dissipate as their core obsessions were released, couldn't help but speak up.

"It looks like it's really coming to an end. Now there's only a little bit left."

Emerging from the ruins, Fujiwara Chika wiped the blood from her forehead, her gaze sweeping over the dissipating flesh and blood monsters. Realizing that the [Hospital] was beginning to falter after its repeated reckless outbursts, she breathed a sigh of relief as she endured the backlash. Then, muttering to herself, she turned her gaze to the middle-level distorted space, still shrouded in darkness.

She could hear the sound of the space itself gradually collapsing.

At the same time that Zhenfei brought out the two core obsession items, the group of players responsible for destroying the spatial node had also succeeded.

Next, in just a few minutes at most, Ahai's power will be able to penetrate the spatial blockade with impunity and take control of the area originally covered by the distorted space. At that point, the hospital will be completely helpless, facing certain death.

However, this is not enough to completely eliminate the enemy.

Chika's gaze swept across the completely transformed battlefield, her eyes lingering on the remaining monsters that were still able to launch attacks under the command of the [Hospital].

In the Red Moon-level dungeon under the control of the [Hospital], there are still two core obsessions that have not been resolved.

Although eliminating two of them has greatly reduced the hospital's power and influence in the real world, the remnants still have some impact. If possible, it would be better to eliminate them completely.

However, with everyone already suffering numerous injuries, the prospect of searching for the core artifact, especially given the ongoing collapse of the distorted space and the complete uncertainty of its internal environment, is frankly not something Qianhua is optimistic about.

Are we just supposed to watch the hospital, which has been beaten half to death, escape?

Isn't there any way to completely solve this problem and get rid of it once and for all?

Don't rush, it's not over yet.

Gao Hai's voice reached Qianhua's ears, which reassured the girl a little.

"Indeed, it's not over yet. It's too early to consider the possibility of the enemy escaping alive. It's time to continue the operation!"

With a slight smile on her lips, Chika stretched her body a few times before striding forward.

"Everyone who can still move, please follow me into the inner part of the battlefield."

"It is not time for a complete victory yet; it is time to annihilate the enemy's last forces and completely end our opponent."

"Everyone, follow me!"

At this moment, the imposing Qianhua seemed to transform into a charging soldier, leaping onto the golden-lit ghost bus and shouting loudly to the players present.

"This guy, really..."

Maki, having regained control of the eerie bus, pursed her lips. She really wanted to gracefully flip Chika off, but in the current atmosphere, doing so would obviously be inappropriate. Therefore, she simply muttered a couple of words before turning the bus around and heading towards the middle-level area where the darkness had not yet dissipated.

Even before Qianhua Zhenfei and the other players who had taken action again, Gao Hai's golden light was the first to disappear into the darkness-shrouded area.

He was sensing the presence of other people.

The child's aura... was very faint, but it could be sensed and traced back.

Kaguya, Ichiri, and Kita's presence... I could barely sense their existence, but I couldn't pinpoint their location. It seemed the spatial blockade hadn't completely dissipated; the [Hospital] was probably still desperately trying to maintain the space itself. Although this couldn't reverse the spatial collapse, with them fighting so fiercely, directly entering the inner battlefield wouldn't be an easy task.

Unless there is a suitable power carrier, even if it is not as powerful as Yurikawa, as long as it can bear a certain amount of my power and carry my power into the inner area, I can use this coordinate to resonate with the coordinate of the child, thereby breaking through the spatial blockade that has been loosened a lot.

The question is, are there such carriers within the current mid-level distorted space region?

Hmm...it seems there really is one?!

Upon suddenly sensing someone's presence, Gao Hai couldn't help but smile.

While the battle on this side achieved a phased victory, in a deeper area, Miko Yotsuya finally passed through the middle layer and reached the deepest part, the battlefield belonging to Kaguya and the others and the [Surgeon].

"The changes here are too drastic..."

As the darkness dissipated and the burning firelight came into view, Jianzi couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath.

The city has disappeared.

After several hours of fighting, the urban area that served as the battlefield had been physically destroyed, leaving only deep craters and shattered ground, making it look more like the moon than Earth.

Finding Kaguya and the others didn't take long. The girls hadn't bothered to conceal their presence; a simple glance in the direction of the rumbling revealed Kaguya Shinomiya, covered in wounds, locked in combat with the "Surgeon," and nearby, Ichiri Goto and Ikuyo Kita, resting and ready to take over. Naturally, the two resting girls were also covered in wounds. These three girls, tasked with holding off the "Surgeon," were now exhausted and battered. Despite their dire condition, they had fulfilled their mission admirably, ensuring the "Surgeon" remained on the battlefield and kept him firmly within the area—this was the most crucial aspect.

It's hard to imagine how everyone spent those few hours.

But now that I'm here, it's about time for all of this to come to an end.

Take a step.

Seeing the child approach the surgeon who was chasing Kaguya ahead.

I can sense something different from before.

After obtaining information from Yamada Ryo and confirming things she didn't know before, this monster called "Surgeon" finally underwent a different change in Miko's eyes. Something deeper and more intrinsic began to emerge in her vision.

what is that……

It seems I've seen something.

A blurry, fragmented image that cannot be pieced together.

The only thing that could be clearly felt was pain, endless pain with no end in sight.

Physical pain, mental pain, all kinds of different pain, keep piling up, keep intertwining, all merged together, there is no way to break free, only to continue to endure the pain.

A serious illness that cannot be escaped from birth, a terminal illness contracted accidentally during growth, an incurable disease contracted in middle age, a terrible disease that strikes in old age... These ailments accumulate in the body, constantly ravaging it, bringing ever deeper suffering every day.

The death of parents, the death of a lover, the death of a child, the death of a close friend, the death of someone respected and admired... The bonds that sustain life are severed, another person who was once a source of support for survival disappears and can never be seen again. The trauma that tears the soul apart is devastating and maddening, leaving an indelible mark that can never be forgotten.

So it would be better if he were dead.

When the living cannot escape this pain, when the reasons for living cannot outweigh the reasons for dying, there is only one choice left, isn't there?

I want to be free.

What happened after that doesn't matter at all. At least for now, let me be free.

Since there is nothing left in my life worth caring about or loving, since living only brings endless pain and might even harm others, then let me be completely free and let it all end here.

Yes, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore, isn't there?

So all I want is...

[Yes, all of this is for liberation, isn't it, Xin?]

It sounded like something else was coming from somewhere else.

What you want is to be free from suffering, right?

What I want is to be free from suffering. Yes, free me, free me from suffering.

Yes, what you want is to relieve the suffering of others, to relieve the suffering of everyone in this world. That's the right path, isn't it?

I want... to be free from suffering? My suffering? Everyone's suffering?

Yes, this is what you want to do, this is the right thing to do. Go and liberate others, bring relief to those who are suffering. Everyone in this world deserves your salvation, so what are you hesitating for?

Liberation... I want liberation...

Liberation...for salvation...for saving others...

Liberation... I want... Ah... I want to liberate those who suffer...

what……

It turned out to be like this...

Yes, I will liberate everyone in this world, I will save everyone in this world.

Living in this world, one feels nothing but pain; living is being punished, living is suffering.

I will save others, I will save everyone.

I'm going to kill everyone in this world.

I'm going to kill everyone.

I'm going to kill!

I'm going to kill them all!!!
