[…Read today’s intelligence?]

Chapter 3: The Truth Revealed, I'm a Superpowered Person

Today's intelligence has been updated. Read it now?

In my mind, a golden exclamation mark danced softly.

"Read".

Kiyono Makoto silently recited this in his heart.

next second.

Several lines of text prompts popped up in front of Kiyono Makoto's eyes:

[Today's Information 1: The scoring rules for the current instance are as follows: You will receive 100 points for each anomaly you accurately identify, and you will receive an additional 1,000 points if you identify all anomalies.]

[Today's Information 2: There are currently 31 types of anomalies in the dungeon, including the Invisible Man, the Ghost Face, the Smiling Uncle, etc.]

[Today's Information 3: Once your sanity falls below the warning threshold, you will experience auditory and visual hallucinations. If you do, you must quickly raise your sanity by reading doujinshi, otherwise you will attract the gaze of something indescribable.]

[Today's Intelligence 4: Protect your teammates. If a teammate is assimilated by the unspeakable substance, you will be permanently trapped in the current instance.]

"Four pieces of intelligence, and all of them are extremely valuable."

Kiyono Makoto's eyes brightened.

In a place like a dungeon, where danger lurks everywhere, the importance of intelligence is self-evident. With daily intelligence, you can avoid most dangers without having to carefully try and make mistakes.

"Poke, poke..."

A slender, snow-white finger gently poked at Kiyono Makoto's arm.

"Kiyono-kun, are you alright?"

Eriri looked up at her, her voice cautious and slightly nervous:

Why did it suddenly stop moving?

Kiyono Makoto snapped out of his daze and quickly assessed his current situation:

There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you...

"what?"

Eriri's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she quietly took a half step back.

Could it be that this guy secretly has a crush on me, but has now lost hope, so he wants to confess directly and leave no regrets?

Is this guy an idiot?

Definitely!

In an environment where life is constantly in danger, one should pull oneself together and strive to survive, instead of letting one's mind wander!

"I'm sorry, we're not a good match..."

"Actually, I have superpowers."

"..."

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

The eerie subway passage suddenly fell silent.

Their eyes met, and Kiyono Makoto quickly broke the silence, his expression speechless:

"Eri-kun, you don't think I'm about to confess, do you?"

"Reality isn't a visual novel game. We don't even know if we'll see the sun rise tomorrow, so how could I possibly think about that kind of thing?"

"Ah ha ha……"

Eriri turned her pretty face away in embarrassment. Faced with a difficult question, she naturally chose to change the subject:

"Um... what does 'superpowered' mean?"

"It means exactly what it says." Kiyono Makoto didn't hide anything and explained seriously, "I get certain information every day... such as the scoring rules and hidden conditions of the current instance."

"Huh?"

Eriri's beautiful eyes widened upon hearing this, her expression one of disbelief and doubt:

"Is Kiyono-san lying to me?"

"Lies are like balloons; they burst with the slightest poke."

Kiyono Makoto began to describe the anomaly at Exit 8 in a serious tone:

"A poster that winks, a smiling uncle, a tile man... Once you see them in person, Eriri will know I wasn't lying."

After awakening his superpowers, Makoto Kiyono's goal is no longer simply to clear the game.

Now that I've been drawn into the Infinite Paradise, it's clear that life can no longer return to normalcy. In that case, I must seize every opportunity to become stronger... such as perfectly clearing "Exit 8".

According to the information provided by the daily intelligence, the current dungeon mainly involves psychological horror and the indescribable, and there are no physical monsters that need to be dealt with by force. Unlocking all the anomaly illustrations will obviously not be a matter of a short time.

In other words, he would have to stay in the subway passage for a considerable period of time, so he needed to gain Eriri's trust beforehand—humans are social animals, and the psychological pressure of having someone around is obviously vastly different from that of being alone.

To gain a girl's trust, sincerity is the only surefire way.

"It seems that Kiyono-san wasn't lying..."

Eriri opened her eyes wide and observed carefully, the scales in her heart quietly tipping.

Since a place like Infinite Paradise exists, it's normal for people with superpowers to exist there, right?

“Let’s go.” Kiyono Makoto turned and strode forward, leading the way into the depths of the passage. “Let’s verify whether my information is true or false.”

"..."

A moment later.

"Kiyo, Kiyono-kun, the woman's eyes are moving in that poster!"

Eriri's voice was tense as she pointed to the advertising posters on the wall.

"Stay calm, don't panic." Kiyono Makoto said calmly, "That's an anomaly. If we encounter an anomaly, we'll turn back."

The two quickly turned around and backed away. After turning the corner, Exit Zero quickly became Exit One.

"call……"

Looking at the numbers on the notice board, Eriri breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up, her eyes wide with shock:

"It's exactly the same as what you said... Is Kiyono really a psychic?"

“Absolutely genuine.” Kiyono Makoto looked at the blonde girl beside him. “From now on, follow my instructions.”

"……receive."

Eriri quietly agreed, feeling much more at ease.

"I'll do whatever Kiyono-kun tells me to do next."

The weak rely on the strong; it's an instinct written in their genes. Without a doubt, at this moment, Kiyono Makoto is someone worthy of trust and reliance.

In the following time, Makoto Kiyono and Eriri worked together, carefully advancing and identifying one unusual trap after another, quickly arriving at Exit Six.

"We'll be able to leave soon."

Eriri was in high spirits and couldn't help but clench her fists.

“I’m not going out for now.” Kiyono Makoto stopped and looked at the blonde girl beside him. “I choose to stay.”

"Huh, why?"

Eriri looked up in confusion, her pink lips slightly parted in shock, revealing her little tiger teeth, which looked exceptionally cute.

He could have gotten out alive, but he chose to stay. Is this guy an idiot?

"The reason is simple. The beginner trial dungeon is obviously just the beginning. We will definitely encounter all kinds of dangerous dungeons in the future. Only by being strong enough can we survive." Qingye spoke frankly and openly. "So we can't miss any opportunity to become stronger."

"That makes some sense..."

Eriri's expression was conflicted; on one hand, she felt that what he said made sense, but on the other hand, she wanted to escape the nightmare and go home as soon as possible.

After hesitating for a while, Eriri finally made up her mind:

"Fortune favors the bold... Take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"

Kiyono Makoto smiled and said, "Shall we go back to where we started?"

"Go back, go back!"

"..."

After discussing the matter, the two continued on their way.

"I found it... there's a ghost face behind that sign."

Eriri whispered a reminder.

Pretend you didn't see it.

Kiyono Makoto kept his eyes fixed ahead, his steps unwavering.

This time, the two chose to ignore the anomaly in the passage and continued forward, eventually returning to Exit Zero without any surprises.

Over the next period of time, the two continued to move forward, unlocking various anomaly illustrations, until they encountered the Tile Man anomaly.

"Kiyono-kun, that tile looks like it's moving?"

Eriri opened her eyes wide and looked at the wall at the end of the passage.

Suddenly, the surface of the blue and white tiled wall began to twist and writhe, and then a bizarre creature made of tiles burst out of the wall and rushed towards the two of them.

"Danger! Run!"

Without saying a word, Kiyono Makoto turned and ran.
