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

Their gazes had already turned to this place; their presence had quietly gathered in this dark corridor, maliciously watching Toyama Akira, the only living person present, from the blood covering the ground, from the filthy blood flowing from the walls, and from the dirty blood dripping from the ceiling.

boom!

Gunshots rang out from beside Akira Toyama.

Without seeing how the police officer fired the bullet, by the time he realized it, the thing that had emerged directly from the wall beside Akira Toyama had already had its head blown off.

bang bang-

Then, two more shots were fired in quick succession. One bullet shattered the strange object falling from the ceiling, and the other bullet pierced through the strange object holding a rifle that appeared on the side of the corridor.

Wow! ! !

Before the next bullet could be fired, new monsters rushed out of the blood pool.

Amidst the splattering blood, these attacking monsters finally noticed the police officer who wasn't part of their group. They reached out and grabbed the officer's hands, pinning him against the wall.

boom!

The dull thud was the sound of a police officer's back slamming into the wall, causing it to crack and sending large pieces of concrete flying everywhere.

Flesh and blood are coming together.

Those crazed faces gathered on the individual who had grabbed the police officer, and in less than three seconds it swelled up into a two-and-a-half-meter-tall amalgam composed of many disorganized limbs, internal organs, and human faces, its aura condensing several times over in an instant.

boom! ! !

The second, even more violent impact sent the officer's not-so-strong body flying through the air as the grotesque mass of flesh slammed into the wall on the other side. This impact was far more ferocious; Yuanshan clearly saw the entire wall cave in, and the faces that appeared on the wall screamed in agony as deformed limbs emerged from the cracks and grabbed at the officer.

[Hehehehehehahahaha ahhhhh——]

The faces on the monster's body were laughing wildly, while the police officer's body was tightly gripped and covered in filthy, foul-smelling blood.

While attacks that only possess physical properties cannot cause damage, physical monsters still need to withstand the impact.

But the monstrous limbs that spread from the walls caused pure supernatural damage. This was something no monster could be immune to; they would grab the police officers, they would tear them apart, and even if the officers, who were also monsters, weren't completely killed, it would be enough to render them incapacitated for a while.

The strange entity then determined that the other party could no longer affect its actions, so it withdrew its hand, ignoring the police officers who were being held by one arm after another, and turned to deal with Akira Toyama.

In the eyes of these dead monsters, only the presence of the living is intolerable and must be eliminated immediately. This is their instinct, something etched into the very nature of these monstrous creatures. Only when their actions are disrupted will they typically turn to attack their own kind.

The monster stopped moving.

...Its hand couldn't be pulled back.

The arms that were gripping the officers' hands were also grabbed by the officers and could not be pulled away.

The monster then exerted its strength again, attempting to throw the police officer into the air once more and strike him again.

...The officer's body remained in place, and it was unable to move the other person.

Unable to comprehend the situation, the strange creature increased its power, using force strong enough to tear apart skyscrapers to strike the police officers in front of it.

The other person still didn't move, and their clothes weren't even torn.

Victims are advised to take precautions and avoid dangerous situations.

Then, the police officer spoke to Akira Toyama, who was standing to the side.

Boom! ! !

In an instant, a terrifying force swept across the area, creating a sonic boom that instantly evaporated the blood in the corridor into mist, which was then forcefully pushed to both sides by the intense wind pressure.

The ground shattered in an instant, the wall behind the police officer shattered in an instant, and the monster that was grabbing the officer's hands also twisted. Its body was instantly severed at the waist, its lower body was torn apart and blown away, and its upper body struggled but could not break free from the officer's hands that were holding it back.

Boom! ! ! ! !

The next moment, amidst a deafening explosion that made Akira Toyama, who was quickly curling up to resist the impact, feel like he was going deaf, the police officers pressed the still struggling monster against the wall. The entire wall collapsed and shattered under the officers' force, along with the flesh and blood in the rubble, falling into the darker cave below.

The monster, captured by the police, was still struggling. These fearless and incapable creatures would not stop moving no matter what situation they were in.

[Hahaha, hehehe, ahhhhh—]

Just like those human faces fused into the monsters, still laughing loudly regardless of the current situation.

The officer then pressed a pistol against the creature's head.

boom!

After the gunshot, the mangled monster began to struggle violently.

Bang bang bang!

Amidst the continuous gunfire, the twisted creature slowed its movements slightly, but it was still trying to resist. Clearly, after coalescing, this thing was an extremely powerful individual among the Red Moon-level monsters.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——

The officer then pulled the trigger repeatedly, filling the creature's head with bullets.

The monster's struggles gradually became sluggish, stiff, and finally came to a complete halt, only twitching a few times before ceasing all movement. The human faces gathered on this thing also closed their eyes as if dead, unable to utter a single sound.

Standing up, the expressionless police officer turned to look at Akira Toyama, who had been thrown into the rubble by the aftershock.

The opponent's current condition is not very good. In the previous confrontation, he was standing too close. Even though he consciously protected himself and his physical fitness was superior to that of humans, making him more resistant to blows, Toyama Akira is now bleeding from his nose and ears, and his head is buzzing.

And even more strange creatures have gathered again.

"It's not over yet? What's going on...?"

The corridor—no, it can no longer be called a corridor—is now a vast underground cavern. After the police officers destroyed the place with sheer violence, Akira Toyama could no longer see any connection between this place and a corridor.

He simply looked at the things that were gradually approaching.

After the victims and perpetrators of the resort appeared together, the third wave, now the last group of monsters active in this instance area, was drawn in by the police's large-scale operation.

Akira Toyama had seen those things before.

The creatures are hunched over, dressed in rags, or so thin as to be skin and bones, or swollen with distended abdomens, their bulging eyes filled with a ravenous hunger for food.

These things pinpointed the only living person present and the location of Akira Toyama.

As this group of the most powerful and mentally corrupting entities appeared, Akira Toyama's head was once again plunged into intense pain. The strong mental erosion made it impossible for him to stand, and he could only fall to the ground, clutching his head and emitting a suppressed, painful groan.

despair……

All I felt was despair...

The despair transmitted from the consciousness of those things... an overwhelming sense of hopelessness that could not be resisted...

Please stay where you are and do not wander off. I will take responsibility for your protection.

The officer's indifferent voice reached my ears again.

Yuanshan Ming, panting heavily, barely managed to lift his head and look at the strange creature.

Watching the other person walk past the pile of monsters lying on the ground with a pistol, past Akira Toyama himself, and walk towards the starving monsters that were walking in front of him, he walked towards the other person without stopping or hesitating.

Bang bang bang boom boom boom crackle crackle—

Violent explosions rang out one after another, the ground trembled, large cracks spread outwards, and rubble continued to fall from above.

The hungry monsters let out shrill howls. Toyama Akira never imagined that these things could make such tragic sounds. The police officers remained silent, no matter what noise the monsters made. They simply pulled the trigger in silence, letting the whistling guns roar in their place.

The monsters are rushing towards the distant mountains.

Those things that crave fresh flesh and blood are relentlessly approaching Akira Toyama.

They have no reason to speak of; all that remains of them is desire, a pure and insatiable obsession.

But they were unable to get over.

From beginning to end, not a single strange creature approached Akira Toyama.

boom!

The officers continued firing.

boom! ! !

Police officers are continuing to investigate the attacking monsters.

boom! ! ! ! !

The police officer had already fought his way through the last group of monsters. Behind him, not a single monster was still intact, not a single one could stand up from the ground, and not a single one could continue to unleash its power to harm Akira Toyama, who was not far away.

In the dark cave, Akira Toyama struggled to sit up and saw a mountain of broken limbs and a sea of ​​blood, with only a police officer standing among the carnage, expressionless and staring at him.

Then, he remembered a name.

Slightly dazed, Akira Toyama, amidst the throbbing pain in his brain, recalled a name he had forgotten.

I shouldn't have forgotten this memory.

This is a name that should be firmly etched in one's memory and never forgotten, no matter what.

Nao Toyama

Deleted memories, fragments remaining in the subconscious, are pieced together in this moment.

I can't remember who this is.

However, Akira Toyama had come to understand that this name held an extremely important place in his heart. Forgetting this name, forgetting this person, had left a severe trauma deep within his consciousness. And whether it was hearing the strange broadcast or being dragged into the dark corridor and attacked, it was all a result of his inner trauma being exploited and resonating with the supernatural rules of this place.

He could barely recall the laughter of the eerie Alice, and seemed to vaguely see the mocking expression on the face of that terrifying being from Fujihana Middle School.

Nao Toyama... Was her existence also used by Alice to hurt me?

Who exactly is she, and why does she evoke such profound feelings in me, especially since the rest of the [Red Knot Society] is unaware of this? If there truly is someone so incredibly important to me, I should have spoken up, and my teammates should have confirmed this with me after I recovered. What on earth is going on?

The more I think, the more my brain feels like it's about to split open with excruciating pain.

Knowing that he wouldn't get any results by thinking like this, and that he needed to rest after being injured, Akira Toyama took a deep breath, barely managing to put aside his doubts for the time being. He stumbled to his feet, took out a flashlight to illuminate his surroundings, and prepared to find a way out of the place.

The police officer had silently walked back to Toyama Akira's side and stood silently in the pile of rubble, watching Toyama Akira's actions.

At that very moment, as the lighting tools were brought out and his vision was restored, Akira Toyama finally saw what he had not seen before: the piled-up things deep inside the dark cave behind the collapsed wall.

"these are……"

A considerable number of skeletal remains were scattered throughout the cave, seemingly everywhere, making it difficult to determine how long the deceased had been dead.

Is this an underground tomb?

Did they dig down to the second basement level of the resort and find a mass grave or underground tomb?

Akira Toyama blinked, then sensed a faint stench, and a strong feeling of nausea, along with the blurry images, washed over his mind.

No, it's not a mass grave.
