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

[Wow, the teacher is amazing! She managed to snatch things from everyone's hands. Was it planned beforehand, or did she just come up with it on the spot?]

Alice's voice was full of curiosity.

"Of course, it was an idea that came to me on the spur of the moment. I'm not a particularly smart person, so I can only come up with a flash of inspiration in these life-or-death situations."

Gao Hai answered Alice calmly, his tone unchanged.

Has the teacher found a new way to survive?

Alice's voice drifted around Gao Hai, then seemed to stretch to a very, very far distance in an instant.

"Yes, I just found one, but I'm not sure if it will work."

Gao Hai nodded slightly, a faint smile curving his lips.

[What is it? Can you tell Alice?]

Alice, like a curious child, appeared in front of Gao Hai, raising her hand to ask questions as if she were a student.

"You can't let me die, Alice."

Gao Hai calmly gazed at Alice's bewitching appearance, which was beyond the reach of any human, and spoke slowly without being moved in the slightest.

Why? Alice really wants the teacher and Omi to become good friends!

Alice blinked, her expression becoming even more curious.

"Because your friend is in my hands, I stole two of your friends, got one back, and the other is still in my hands."

The next moment, Alice's expression froze slightly as Gao Hai's calm voice rang out.

“If you kill me, you will never get your friend back. Even if you make me suffer a fate worse than death, it will still not bring your friend back.”

"Your friend, well, let me think, should be called 'Xiong Mi,' since you wrote her name on the doll. I hid her in a place that only I can find, a place that can only be found when I am conscious and not experiencing any mental problems."

"So you can't let me die. If I die, your friend will disappear with me, and you'll never see her again."

Alice, standing in front, remained expressionless, simply gazing at Gao Hai with her blue eyes.

In his perception, the fleshy monster that had been moving towards him suddenly stopped moving at that moment.

A strong sense of malice is coming from all directions, so intense it's almost making my nerves twitch.

In that instant, Gao Hai even felt as if he were standing on the edge of an abyss, where one wrong step would lead to utter destruction.

But he knew that he had made the right bet once again.

His smile widened, even becoming more delighted, as he spoke to Alice in front of him:

"Alice, you don't want your friend to disappear forever, do you?"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Never Stop Struggling Until True Death

【…】

For the first time, after Gao Hai finished speaking, Alice did not reply immediately, but continued her seemingly endless rambling.

She simply stood there, motionless, all expressions gone, as if she had become a stiff puppet.

Of course, this was only at first glance. Gao Hai could see very clearly that this guy's entire face was completely tense, and there were even faint blue veins protruding on the edges of his cheeks. His pair of delicate pink hands were also clenched tightly, giving the feeling that he was about to explode at any moment.

Beside Alice, the flesh-and-blood monster that had been relentlessly pursuing her had stopped moving. This was clearly a change caused by Alice, proving that the flesh-and-blood monster could be guided and manipulated by her, and also proving that Gao Hai's strategy had indeed worked.

"What's wrong? Can't you speak? If you flatter me now, I might be kind enough to return your friend to you."

A pleased smile appeared on Gao Hai's face.

[Was the teacher really such a mean person?]

The girl tilted her head slightly, her expression showing a hint of confusion.

This was the first time Gao Hai had seen this guy make such an expression since entering the Fujika Middle School instance.

I must say, it was very enjoyable.

Furthermore, although it was intended to buy time to survive, this strategy is indeed a bit strange, with a kind of aesthetic appeal reminiscent of Japanese netizens.

Alice's expression grew increasingly hesitant.

Takami's words seemed to have some effect on her, preventing the monster possessing Yotsuya Miko from immediately killing Takami.

Having recovered from his injuries and regained his strength, Gao Hai was not about to let this opportunity slip by. Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped up from the spot and charged straight at the ceiling with tremendous speed.

Boom!

Scattered fragments fell with a heavy thud.

Gao Hai smashed the ceiling with his head, getting stuck between the cement and the soil. Then, he used his hands to struggle and try to break free, bursting out of the basement with a violent jolt and squeezing himself onto the first floor.

The crimson light slowly dissipated in Gao Hai's pupils.

He looked around and found that it looked like a small conference room. Many figures wearing various headgear such as sheep's head, duck's head, and turtle's head were sitting in the seats. At this moment, they all turned to look at Gao Hai himself, and a strong, cold aura locked onto him.

"But people like you can't stop me."

Unfazed by this, Gao Hai stood up, a machete already in his hand.

The power of the rampaging blessing has been activated once again.

Gao Hai could feel the strange power of these "teachers" acting on him.

But with the double blessing of the object of his obsession, he strode forward without hesitation and went straight to meet these strange creatures.

To cut, chop, tear.

There were no shouts or roars of battle, only silent advances, silent falls, and increasingly slow breathing.

A sweet, fishy smell filled the air, and the crimson color gradually spread across the ground.

The conference room door slowly opened, and then Gao Hai, covered in blood, limped out. The room behind him was a mess, and there was no one left who could be considered a whole human being.

"Huh...huh..."

The breathing sounds are getting heavier.

In the corridor, Gao Hai could see figures dressed in school uniforms, their eyes, mouths, noses, and ears completely sewn shut with needles and thread.

Alice was standing behind the students, watching him from afar.

She didn't laugh this time.

She simply stood behind everyone with a blank expression, staring straight at Gao Hai.

Hmm, it seems that what I just said did break her defenses a bit.

"Bringing so many people out here, it seems you really don't want your friends anymore."

Gao Hai grinned, spitting out one of his teeth before speaking with a smile.

【…】

There was no response from the other party.

Only those students, their figures twisted and contorted, drifted closer in an unpredictable manner.

Gao Hai turned and ran away, but the loud noise he made attracted a "Duck Teacher". This thing can greatly hinder a person's ability to move by making a quacking sound, making the person feel as if their limbs are filled with lead and they can hardly move.

Without the protective effect of the goat's head hood, confronting these "teachers" head-on was no easy feat. While the "students" were numerous, they lacked any special mechanisms, but the "teachers" were different. Therefore, Gao Hai could only rely on his superhuman physical abilities and willpower to continue charging forward, severing the duck's head with a single stroke, then chopping off its throat, cutting off its legs and an arm, before finally continuing his shaky run.

A strong feeling of dizziness is coming from my brain.

After resisting various forms of erosion and mental pollution, Gao Hai's body had not yet reached its limit, but his mind was already on the verge of its limit.

I can't fall asleep...

Gao Hai gasped for breath, barely managing to stay conscious, and continued running forward.

pat!

A soft sound indicated that the lights in the corridor where Gao Hai was located had turned on.

Bang!

The lights went out the next second, and the light switch had been blown up.

Gao Hai tossed the small stone in his hand and threw it out violently, then smashed the switch of another light in the corridor.

These were a few small stones he picked up casually when he crashed to the ground from the basement. With the blessing of Hidal's berserk mode, he could easily launch these stones at near-bullet speed, destroying the switches of every light he encountered along the way.

It didn't take Gao Hai long to find the location of the stairs.

The number of students chasing after him had exceeded one hundred, densely filling the entire corridor, and each one was twisted and incomplete, which made Gao Hai think of things like zombie movies.

Unlike before, Alice simply watched Gao Hai from a distance with an expressionless face, showing no intention of approaching him, seemingly just observing from the sidelines.

What kind of scheme is this guy plotting now?

Having already developed a considerable psychological aversion to this strange creature, Gao Hai did not hesitate and sped up to continue moving forward.

The layout of the second floor was no different from before, but Gao Hai was afraid that Alice would create some kind of illusion again, so he was extra careful with every step he took, paying attention to his surroundings at all times and constantly monitoring every change in his senses.

Performing such an operation while already nearing the limit of his mental strength was naturally unwise, but Gao Hai had no other choice. His only thought now was to reach the dormitory building before he died and use his life to ascertain the basic situation of another area of ​​Fujika Middle School.

But clearly, this is not an easy task.

Jingle Bell--

Amidst the crisp ringing of the bell, all the lights came on at that moment.

Gao Hai smashed through the wall without hesitation and entered the restaurant behind it.

But then, the feeling of being intensely watched by something enveloped Gao Hai.

It's Principal Elephant's line of sight. Oh no! This floor is the cafeteria, not a classroom, so there are security cameras inside. And the restaurant I entered is a mid-range one, which means I'm now on a repeat offender list.

It was clearly too late to escape.

After feeling the gaze, Gao Hai is rapidly losing control of his body.

[Report from the Discipline Office...]

chap——

A shrill sound came from the loudspeaker.

Gao Hai had already swung the sharp cleaver straight down, piercing through his own shoulder and nailing himself to the wall through the bone, forcibly controlling his actions in the last moments he could still have self-control.
