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

For a human, this would still be incredibly dangerous. After all, Alice isn't the only supernatural being active at Fujihana Middle School. Being possessed by hallucinations would cause not only mental anguish but also the risk of being bumped into by other supernatural beings. However, the rescue team doesn't have this problem; they don't need to worry about it at all.

Because the rescue team members are inherently strange as well.

This thing is the embodiment of obsession and doesn't possess any kind of willpower; it only has basic thinking ability. Therefore, even if an evil god descends, this thing won't lose its sanity. Moreover, because it is the embodiment of obsession, unless it is directly harmed by some strange power, no matter how many mental attacks it receives, this thing will remain unharmed.

Therefore, the rescue team can directly halt Alice's actions!

tread!

Gao Hai took a step forward.

Even with his eyes closed, he could still sense the presence of the rescue team member and knew that the other person was right in front of him.

So he walked up to the other person, reached out his hand, and the rescue team members followed suit, reaching out their hands to catch the eraser that Takahashi gave him.

Then, Gao Hai bit his wrist and tore a piece of flesh off his hand.

Amidst the splatter of blood, Gao Hai aimed his bleeding wound at the rescue team member's hand, letting the blood drip onto the eraser and turning it from white to red.

【…】

The pain I had been feeling completely vanished at that moment.

All sounds disappeared, and everything returned to silence.

That intense feeling of coldness had completely disappeared by this moment.

Gao Hai opened his eyes.

He saw the rescue team members standing in front of him, facing the door of the art classroom.

Turning around, he saw Miko lying unconscious on the ground, and Rihanna and the others lying on the ground, clearly incoherent and showing signs of madness.

The art classroom under the lights was still just as ugly and disgusting as before.

Then, Gao Hai turned his head again and looked ahead, at the thing standing at the classroom door.

He saw Alice.

Golden hair.

A face so beautiful that it seems impossible for a human to possess.

She is about 1.5 meters tall, petite, yet with a perfect figure with a prominent bust and buttocks.

She is human, yet she doesn't seem human.

This appearance is indeed human, but humans cannot grow to such a perfect state, so perfect that it feels unbelievable.

Do not……

Gao Hai frowned suddenly.

He saw another Alice.

His entire body was covered in wounds—knife cuts, lacerations, gunshot wounds—a dense mass of injuries covering his entire body.

Those were the injuries suffered by the 12 students who died in Class 1 of the second year of junior high school.

And all these wounds are displayed on this Alice's body.

In the blink of an eye, the wounds had completely disappeared, and only the flawless Alice remained standing at the door.

"So this is ah."

Gao Hai had already figured it out.

"You are actually the result of the selection process. After all the outstanding students died, Alice was born from among them, and that is you."

"You are human, but not entirely human; you are an anomaly, but not entirely an anomaly. This school has found a way to cultivate the power of the anomaly, and ensures that the result of each cultivation points to your existence. Are you... some kind of vessel?"

In Gao Hai's eyes, one corner of the secret of this terrifying school has already been revealed.

【…】

Alice did not speak again.

It can no longer communicate with Gao Hai, nor can it use any tricks like illusions on Gao Hai.

Whatever this thing is, it ultimately exists as something eerie. And eerie things must abide by the rules. So the rescue team members who "cannot become Alice's friends" obtained the "game completion item to become Alice's friends," directly blocking the mechanism of this thing, causing Alice to lose the ability to move freely, and she can only stand here motionless, staring at the rescue team members.

The biggest threat to Fujika Middle School that has been exposed so far has finally been successfully eliminated.

As a consequence, Gao Hai could no longer use Howard as a rescue team member, and couldn't even put him back in his badge.

However, Gao Hai was not completely relieved.

He still had a question in his mind.

If this Alice was successfully created through a sacrifice by an outstanding student from Class 1, Grade 8, then what about the Alice inside the black human skin umbrella? Are these two things the same? Or is there actually more than one Alice?

The two Alices from different timelines tell completely different stories about their past. If Alice is artificially created, is her story fabricated? Or did the different Alices truly experience different lives?

Revealing a corner of the mystery did not bring Gao Hai a sense of enlightenment. Instead, it made him feel as if he had touched an iceberg floating on the water, as if he were standing on the water looking down and seeing the bottomless abyss beneath the iceberg, but not knowing how deep it was.

And this feeling... perhaps, [Alice] isn't the core obsession?

Despite knowing such important information, I didn't feel completely locked onto by some entity, like Li Zhaodi or Hedar. What exactly does [Alice] represent in this instance? Perhaps a more thorough investigation is needed.

Gao Hai remained silent, suppressing all his thoughts, before turning to look at the girls behind him.

"Hey, wake up."

After dragging the unconscious Miko Yotsuya, Rika Iteno, and Aoi Sanada away from the art classroom door, Takami reached out and slapped their cheeks to wake them up. Then, using Hedar's blessing to strongly stimulate the minds of ordinary people, he helped the girls get out of their temporary state of madness.

After waking up, both Itono Rika and Sanada Kazumi were visibly dazed, seemingly punished for a temporary drop in intelligence, and could only rest here to recover. As for Miko, she quickly recovered and immediately pointed to the door of the art classroom's supply room.

"Just now... after that thing opened the door, Xiaochuan went into the supply room. She... she seems to be bewitched by something. Mr. Gao, please, could you go and check on her? She must be in great danger..."

Although she was the first to faint due to her overly powerful senses, before she lost consciousness, she noticed a change in the condition of one of the people in the group. At this moment, she grabbed Gao Hai's sleeve and pleaded with him.

"The supplies room?"

Gao Hai's gaze fell on the door of the supplies room, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He didn't really want to go check on the situation. Although Alice was temporarily out of danger due to being stuck, Gao Hai wasn't sure how long this state would last or if it would change due to external stimuli. Moreover, the three people here were in very poor condition, and if he left, they would have virtually no chance of escaping if they encountered danger.

Okay, then let's send Lao Guo.

So Gao Hai decisively guided another rescue team member toward the supply room door, opened it, and went inside.

About 30 seconds later, through the perspective of the rescue team members, Gao Hai saw Kyoko Ogawa, whose stomach had been cut open, her internal organs removed, and hanging deep inside the supply room, as well as a strange student with a mangled body standing next to her.

Judging from its freshness, this place was probably only just completed when I dragged away the three of them.

"It's hopeless."

With no interest in hiding anything, Gao Hai told Jianzi directly about the ultimate fate of her classmate.

"how come……"

There is no doubt that the girl from Takahashi suffered a huge blow.

At that moment, accompanied by a piercing bell, the once brightly lit classroom turned pitch black. The classroom, which had been filled with various horribly damaged exhibits, was now a black ruin burned by fire, completely unrecognizable. The ceiling had even collapsed, and standing in the classroom, one could see the dark sky and the unsettling blood-red moon in the sky.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Squad Member Replacement Process and Continued Operations

Of the four girls Gao Hai led out of the classroom, one disappeared without a trace.

A young girl who was alive and well just minutes ago is now a disemboweled corpse hanging on an iron hook.

Crimson blood flowed down, pooling on the ground.

The three surviving girls were undoubtedly traumatized by what they witnessed. Miko and Rika managed to remain somewhat calm, though their bodies trembled slightly. Sanada Kazumi, however, vomited again, but since she had already vomited most of what was in her stomach, this time she only dry-heaved for a while while leaning against the wall.

"..."

Gao Hai remained silent, standing not far away, only occasionally checking to see if the rescue team had continued to lock Alice down. He did not comment on the girls' reactions.

However, it seems that Nori Hana's ability to select and judge people is rather average.

Sanada Kazuya was now lying on the ground, seemingly unable to continue following him.

Watching the other's performance, Gao Hai was somewhat disappointed. Although he knew that it was unreasonable to have too high expectations of these students, Sanada's performance along the way was simply unsatisfactory. Therefore, Gao Hai couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with him in his heart.

If you still can't get past this playthrough, then next playthrough you shouldn't let Rika Ichino pick people.

As for Kyoko Ogawa, who has already passed away, it's a pity, but the dead can't be brought back. Takahashi can only say that she was incredibly unlucky. Being killed by a mannequin in the first playthrough was bad enough, but in the second playthrough, she was killed by a monster, and her death was clearly more gruesome than the first. Speaking of which, it was her both times—does this girl have some special talent for attracting monsters to kill her?

Thinking this, Gao Hai turned around and looked at the strange creature standing motionless in the distance.

The grotesque student, whose body was mangled, clearly showed signs of intending to attack Miko and the others when it saw them, but it immediately stopped after Takami shouted "Stop!" Clearly, the teacher's command to the student hadn't lost its effect, but this contradicted the fact that Ogawa Kyoko was attacked and killed, which was truly puzzling.

Let's go check on the situation in the classroom first.

If a teacher's command has a time limit, something might already be happening in the classroom.

"Why...why do I have to go through this...this...sob...this...I want to go home, sob sob sob, I want to go home..."

While Gao Hai was pondering, Sanada Kazuichi, who had been gagging for a while, sat down on the ground and broke down in quiet sobs.

She was so traumatized that she was already somewhat disoriented.

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll be alright..."

Rihanna squatted down and whispered comforting Sanada, while Miko dared not look at her classmate's body any longer and turned to look at Takami.

Then she saw Gao Hai take out a blood-red key, insert it into the door, and gently turn it open.

squeak-

When the door opened, the students who were still sitting obediently in the classroom were on the other side. They had been scattered in various corners of the classroom, but when they saw the classroom door open and Gao Hai step inside, they were all so frightened that they quickly returned to their seats. Not one of them dared to look Gao Hai in the eye.

The power of the blessing confirmed that the students in the classroom were all human. Hmm, no problem. It seems that Kyoko Ogawa's death wasn't due to the possibility that "the teacher's orders had a time limit." Therefore, we need to carefully consider what caused her death.

And... there are two fewer students.

Gao Hai only glanced at it briefly before immediately noticing the change in the number of people in the classroom.

It seems that these students managed to stir up some trouble after he left.
