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

Only Jianzi subconsciously took a step back in the silent silence.

In her vision, the people sitting in their seats all had satisfied smiles on their faces, as if they were all immersed in another world.

She could see the bloody wounds on those people's bodies, and she could see all the cruelty they had suffered before they died.

She could see the reddish-purple umbilical cords wriggling on those people's bodies, and she could see them extending upwards into the sky, stretching out into the boundless darkness, disappearing into who-knows-where.

"they……"

She could also hear them calling to Alice.

A call filled with sincere emotion.

There is no emotion in it anymore; it is just a mechanical repetition of the call.

Calling out.

It just keeps calling out.

I don't know how many years this has been repeated.

They called out in vain to the empty stage.

From life to death, the call never ceased.

Alice~

Alice, oh Alice~

My Alice, come back to me!

The girl felt nothing but horror in that voice; she couldn't sense any other emotion.

"There's no way to sabotage it. Tsk, this might be a terrible move."

Not far away, Xiong Mi shook his head helplessly after failing to violently destroy the stage or rush off it.

"It seems that our presence has given this stage a sense of being started ahead of schedule."

Gao Hai looked up at the flashing lights at the top of the stage, which had been dim at first. But with the arrival of these intruders, the lights were gradually brightening in the darkness, as if something was about to awaken there.

An eerie atmosphere is gathering.

The footsteps of the security guards could no longer be heard.

It seems that after the group arrived at this eerie, dark stage, the original hospital ceased to exist, and the entire world was reduced to this single, isolated area.

Click—click—

Colorful lights flashed, completely illuminating the stage.

The audience below the stage began to cheer.

They clapped, they whistled loudly, they shouted, jumped, waved their hands, or stared at the stage with shining eyes.

On that stage, a figure also appeared.

Gao Hai watched as Alice, dressed in an elaborate and beautiful dress, appeared, picked up a microphone, and started singing. His first reaction was to pull out a machete and give her a good whack.

Of course, he didn't do that, because it would have been pointless.

There was no eerie atmosphere.

The power of the strange creatures that had just gathered was almost enough to paralyze a heartbeat, but when these powers truly converged, what appeared on the stage was merely a phantom of Alice singing and dancing, devoid of any eerie aura, without any rules of killing, without any wicked personality, and could even be described as nothing at all.

It was nothing but a phantom, nothing at all.

"So this is ah."

Then Gao Hai understood.

From the fan's perspective, Alice is an incomplete, extremely one-sided Alice who cannot form a complete personality. Those fanatical fans cannot see Alice's cruel and vicious side; they only praise her beauty and goodness, and only remember her fascinating aspects.

So no matter how many people are killed, no matter how many Alice fans are created, the result is still the same.

Gao Hai reached out and passed directly through the illusion of Alice.

The empty, one-sided impressions created through the filter of fans will ultimately only produce an illusion devoid of any substance.

Fujii Hiroshi's obsessive persistence ultimately yielded no results, because he was destined to fail from the start. He never knew the full extent of Alice's existence, was unable to recreate her true form, and refused to acknowledge her true nature. Therefore, he could not achieve any other outcome than failure.

Therefore, he will definitely try to change his strategy.

So... could this be the reason why [Hirano Sousuke] appeared at the hospital?

Gao Haishang did not know what the correct answer was, nor did he know what happened in the final scene of this stage.

But Yotsuya Miko, who was standing next to him, had already seen that scene.

They saw a different performance from the perspective of the others.

The flames are burning.

The flesh and blood were being roasted by the raging fire, and the oil was boiling and crackling.

That's right! That's right! That's exactly it!

Some people were celebrating and shouting.

[Punish the most heinous criminals and give them the punishment they deserve!]

Then, our Alice will be reborn here!

She will return to our arms, and we will have her again. And this time, no one will be able to take her away!

The dean was shouting with tears in his eyes.

The shouts from the people around them were growing increasingly frenzied.

Miko Yotsuya slowly turned her head, shifting her gaze from the distorted faces of the frenzied fans to look behind her.

She saw the burning figure amidst the flames.

The stretcher was burned black.

That body had no chance of breaking free from the iron locks on the stretcher.

In the flames, she saw that gaze meet hers.

She saw the numbness in those eyes, and the despair that was slowly growing within that numbness.

The enthusiastic cheers from the audience below the stage almost completely drowned out the sound of the flames burning.

As always.

That's the final result.

Then, the girl heard someone's indifferent voice.

It seemed to have been left at the very last moment; the voice was devoid of any emotion or feeling, leaving only a cold and icy tone.

The man said:

【Then come with me】

All of you, come with me to hell!

Then, the flames that were about to go out flew up and spread in all directions.

The smiles on those people's faces were still as crazy as ever.

Even though the flames had covered the entire stage and were spreading outwards, they showed no intention of leaving.

Rise from the ashes! Rise from the ashes!

Hiroshi Fujii was praying earnestly.

Those who harmed you have received their due punishment. It's time for them to return, to return to the world you love. Alice, come back, come back to me!

Everyone was praying earnestly.

And the scorching flames seemed to be responding to these people, as a figure swayed in the flames and walked out step by step.

They stood up in ecstasy and looked at the figure in the flames.

Seeing that Ziye subconsciously looked at that figure, at the figure that gradually became clearer as it passed through the sea of ​​fire.

Is that... Alice?

The next second, Jianzi saw a tall man wearing a tattered police uniform.

Seeing the man grasp the gun and step out of the flames, his eyes, devoid of any humanity, indifferently swept over the fans present. He released the safety from the pistol in his hand, then aimed directly at one of the Alice fans at the very front and pulled the trigger on the spot.

boom!

With a loud gunshot, Miko's body was suddenly tackled to the ground by Gao Hai. A bullet grazed Gao Hai's back and passed through him. In an instant, Gao Hai was almost cut in half by the bullet, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

The girl's consciousness only began to clear slightly at this moment.

It was only then that she realized there was no crazy stage and no distorted audience.

On this stage, which should have been empty, there was now a fifth person besides the temporary team, a figure holding a pistol, aiming at everyone, with his finger already on the trigger.

Chapter 79: His Fated Solitary Journey

The sudden appearance of the man was undoubtedly unexpected by everyone.

As the core of the Fujika Middle School area's instance, Hirano Sousuke's presence within this instance was practically nonexistent. Before this guy suddenly appeared, no one expected to encounter him so unexpectedly in this place, especially in such a clearly unfriendly form that exuded a terrifying aura and seemed ready to kill right away. It's fair to say that everyone present was completely unprepared.

However, even without being prepared, there is one thing that everyone can understand.

That means you absolutely cannot back down or run away.

The core obsession of the Red Moon-level dungeon is a terrifying existence that no player can withstand. However, if you panic and run away after encountering the core obsession, the only possible outcome is a miserable death.

The reason is quite simple: when the core obsession of the Red Moon-level dungeon appears before you in a hostile manner, you have inevitably violated some of its rules of conduct. At this point, no matter how you try to escape, you cannot truly escape. Facing the challenge head-on, you might instead find a loophole in the rules and thus survive.

Xiong Mi, the fastest-reacting player on the field, had already swiftly positioned herself in front of Gao Hai and Jianzi, rushing towards the man holding the pistol. The man, however, ignored her, expressionlessly turning his gun towards Jianzi, about to pull the trigger again.

Was it that little girl who triggered the death rule? Tsk, it seems her so-called super-strong perception is really extraordinary.

In that instant of reflection, the man's finger was about to pull the trigger.

Then, Xiong Mi slammed her palm down on the man's arm, forcibly shifting the man's hand away, and then slammed her arm into the man's chest, knocking him to the ground with a loud thud on the stage.

boom!
