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

The other girls also instinctively backed away, with Kinoshita Yuka even having the urge to turn around and run away.

Only Gao Hai took a step forward.

Click!

The bloodstained machete swung down suddenly, cutting down one of the figures wearing an animal head mask.

The sound of bones shattering rang out together with the sound of blood splattering.

Faintly, screams and pleas for mercy could be heard echoing in the daze.

Those figures had already fallen to the ground.

Alice, with her long golden hair, simply smiled and carried her knife, letting the blade drag on the ground, as she walked step by step toward those figures.

No...no, no, no...this shouldn't be, this shouldn't be! You can't hurt us, you can't hurt us!

[I order you to stop! You damn bastard, I order you to cease all operations!!!]

Why aren't the commands working? No... please don't, please don't!

I heard the howls those people made before they died.

I saw their ugly state before they were executed.

And Alice, who always smiled gently and watched all of this.

Alice just wants to be friends with everyone.

She spoke very seriously.

So, please, teachers, stay and become Alice's friends forever!

Then, she raised the blood-stained blade in her hand.

The dark red color permeated the entire world.

The blade, still slashing, never ceased to be lowered until all breathing stopped.

It turned out to be the case.

Gao Hai stopped swinging the knife and put it back into his watch. Throughout this process, Gao Hai was extremely focused, maintaining complete sensory concentration, thus avoiding the situation from the first playthrough where his perception was tricked into failing to retrieve the black umbrella.

The eerie atmosphere inside the observation room has been completely chopped into pieces.

Just like what Alice, who was successfully created by these people back then, did.

This machete was once used by teachers to execute students, and was eventually used by Alice to kill all the teachers in the school—no, probably everyone in the school. Therefore, any strange occurrences within Fujika Middle School will be targeted by this machete, easily dismembered and temporarily immobilized.

The side effect of such a simple and brutal obsession is also very clear: a strong bloodlust.

"call……"

Even after retrieving the machete and cutting off the source of the influence, Gao Hai still couldn't help but breathe heavily. A manic emotion surged from the depths of his heart, almost breaking through his mental barrier and plunging him into complete madness.

I want to kill, kill them all, kill them all, wipe them out...

Yes, those girls behind me are perfect. I'll pin them to the ground, cut their flesh with a knife, watch their desperate, agonizing expressions, and then tear them to shreds. Yes, yes, yes, that's what I want to do, that's what I'm going to do, that's…

"Mr. Gao, are you... are you alright?"

A slightly nervous shout came from behind.

"...I'm fine."

Gao Hai's breathing has returned to normal.

He felt slightly dizzy; the corrosive effects of the sheep's head hood and the machete were already making him uncomfortable. But he had to maintain this state for now, so after taking a deep breath, Gao Hai steadied himself and began to walk deeper into the observation room.

This observation room is completely surrounding Class 1 classroom.

Except for the side closest to the door, all the walls of Class 1 were made of one-sided transparent glass. Therefore, the teachers, or those who combined the roles of teacher and researcher, could observe the students in the classroom at any time, observing these so-called "excellent students" of Class 1 as if they were observing experimental animals.

Perhaps they were even worse than laboratory animals. Although laboratory animals also die tragically, at least researchers respect and remember their sacrifices. But here, those high-ranking researchers treated these students like animals until the very end.

However, one thing is certain.

【Fujika Junior High School】The first class of each grade, including the third grade class 1, the second grade class 1, and the first grade class 1, is a specially selected sacrifice.

Amidst madness and death, nothing happens to some of the students in Class 1 after they die, but for others, an "Alice" is born from among them.

Whether the original Alice and the Alices created during the school's operation had physical form, whether they could be perceived and interacted with, these questions remain unanswered. What is certain is that the final Alice created by the school broke free of control, killing everyone in the school and completely destroying the place, turning it into a dead zone where no one survived.

Wait, maybe they didn't all get killed.

Those two figures mourning the students—could they be the last survivors? Choosing to mourn the students, are those two survivors among them, or are they people who don't support the school's horrific experiments?

Some questions were answered, but more questions began to emerge.

But there's no need to dwell on that right now, since Gao Hai can already see what he's looking for.

It was a card.

Despite being stained with blood, the card's exquisite craftsmanship is still evident.

[“God-Making Project” - Level 4 Supervisor Authority Card]

This is the handwriting engraved on this small card.

Is this a plan to create a god?

Gao Hai didn't say much, but turned his gaze to the table where the card was placed, and then to the document next to it.

[“God-Making Project” Timeline:]

【Project 1: Supreme Ruler】

[Initial planning has been completed. It is recommended to conduct trials in locations where young children congregate, such as daycare centers, orphanages, or primary schools.]

Children with innocent minds are the best test subjects; the expected number of participants is around 20-40. It is crucial to ensure the project's confidentiality.

Project 2: The Idol of Suffering

Site selection has been completed, and preliminary trials have begun. The trial area is "Tenghua Middle School," and the area has been completely sealed off.

Children just entering their rebellious phase are the best test subjects; the expected number of test subjects is 1500-2000, and it is essential to ensure control over the test subjects.

The results of the first phase of the experiment strongly supported our hypothesis: intense distorted emotions and death brought about a certain directional abnormal energy change. This time we were unable to collect data on that energy. I think we need to try to create a container, a container that can attract and store this energy.

[Project 3: The Ghostly Truth Comes True]

Site selection has been completed, initial testing has been completed, and full-scale testing is underway. The testing area is "Yeluoshan Middle School," and covert control of the area has been completed, maintaining normal surface operation.

The best test subjects are teenagers who are relatively stable yet still possess a certain degree of instability. The expected number of test subjects is 500-800. It is essential to ensure the control and monitoring of the test subjects.

[By guiding the test subjects, we successfully reproduced the ghost stories such as "Hanako in the Toilet" and "Miss Mary." However, the phenomenon is extremely unstable, and the first and second phases of the experiment failed to achieve the expected results. It has been decided to begin a further expanded experiment.]

Project 4: Takamagahara

[Ensure full intelligence sharing with allies, treat all information from the "Baydos Academy" with the highest priority, and do everything possible to conceal our information, ensuring that the true research progress and findings are not transmitted to the other side.]

The construction of "Takamagahara" is of paramount importance. Even if we are defeated one day, we will gain immortality here and eventually make a comeback to establish a co-prosperity sphere for our planet.

This project is a top priority.

【Project 5】

[It has been confirmed that Projects 1, 2, and 3 all experienced some inexplicable phenomena during their operation. Many researchers and test subjects found themselves in an unfamiliar school while dreaming or experiencing hallucinations, and some people mysteriously disappeared after reporting these events.]

Based on available intelligence, the school's name is ■■■■ (the handwriting is inexplicably distorted and illegible). It is necessary to mobilize personnel to investigate this anomaly and determine whether it is harmful or not...

The document was quite long, containing specific plans for the experiment, and the later parts contained many unfamiliar and impressive terms. Although it read strangely in many places, and the handwriting in many places seemed to have been erased, Gao Hai still carefully read through the entire document and finally confirmed one thing.

【Hayate Elementary School】, 【Fujika Junior High School】, and 【Yorakuyama Junior High School】 are all research sites established under the impetus of the Japanese high-level officials.

These three places were all strange places deliberately created through human intervention.

Furthermore, the Baydos Institute has intricate connections with this place. That school is likely a German institution used for researching the supernatural, and the two countries may even be exchanging research experiences.

This is truly... no wonder this instance is so enormous, a colossal instance pieced together from four different areas. No wonder it's so vast, yet the different instances are so distinct, essentially fragmented into smaller instances. This place, this so-called "Campus Ghost Stories" instance, is inherently a place that is fragmented yet secretly intricately connected.

That identity card undoubtedly allows Gao Hai to enter certain hidden areas, and based on the current information, it probably allows him to enter and exit special areas within the three regional instances, including Zaoli Elementary School, Fujika Middle School, and Yelu Mountain Middle School, which is equivalent to giving him a special identity that allows him to travel through most of the instances.

And now, he can use this identity card immediately.

Gao Hai turned his head and looked at a huge, heavy metal door at the far end of one side of the observation room.

He had already seen the card reader on the door, so he took a step forward, and then stopped involuntarily.

pat-

The lights in Class 1 outside the room came on, restoring the room to its daytime appearance.

"Woo..."

Jianzi let out a low groan of pain, then covered his head with his hand and lowered his head.

Gao Hai also closed his eyes, frowning at the intense discomfort he felt at that moment.

I saw a certain scene.

It seemed as if something was deliberately showing him and Miko the scene.

It was the corpse of a girl whose stomach had been cut open and whose internal organs had been removed, slowly crawling out of the art classroom supply room.

She was clearly dead, but under the influence of some force, she stood up again and walked step by step into the art classroom, into the exhibits, and finally came to the student's corpse marked as a "failure".

Then, she reached out and tore at the corpse, ripping it apart from its original intact state, turning it into a distorted mess like the other exhibits.

The handwriting on the exhibit boxes began to change little by little.

On the blackboard on one side of the art classroom, the number 0 appeared, and then suddenly changed to 1.

A female figure, whose body was twisted and broken but could still be barely identified as Alice, then appeared in the classroom.

[The wicked teacher who stole Alice's things, Alice is coming for you now!]

Amidst the soft laughter, the fragmented figure raised its head, meeting Gao Hai's gaze with its shattered eye sockets.

The next moment, the hallucinatory scene disappeared, but in the classroom outside the observation room, a blonde-haired Alice was already standing in the middle of the classroom, watching Gao Hai and his group standing in the observation room.

And Kinoshita Yuka, who was too afraid to get too close and therefore did not enter the observation room, but stood next to the broken wall, actually still in the classroom.

"W-What happened? How did the wall recover? Open it quickly, open it quickly!"

Once daylight returned to the classroom, the wall that Gao Hai had broken was restored to its original state, leaving the girl isolated. She finally realized her mistake and frantically pounded on the wall, hoping Gao Hai and the others in the observation room would come to her rescue.

Unfortunately, given her current condition, even Gao Hai is powerless to help her.
