A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

Now it's time to get down to business.

He snapped his fingers.

Several shadowy ninjas emerged from the ground and knelt on one knee in front of him.

"Take me into the Shadow Kingdom"

Chiyu's instructions were concise and clear.

The two ninjas nodded simultaneously, grabbed Chiyu's arms from the left and right, and sank instantly like melting asphalt.

The feeling of sinking into the shadows is hard to describe in words.

If I had to use an analogy, it would be like being crushed into a piece of paper from the three-dimensional world and then stuffed into the dark pages of a book filled with codes.

The field of vision becomes flat, and colors are almost completely removed, leaving only varying shades of gray flowing overhead.

But the benefits are obvious.

In the Shadow Kingdom, the spatial distortion created by the Mystery Cards completely failed.

Because the Shadow Kingdom exists independently of the real dimension, it is not bound by any laws of reality—including the tricks of the Mystery Card that distort spatial perception.

It's like you're lost in a maze, but if you could look down on the entire maze from the ceiling, any dead ends or traps would be exposed.

Everything around me turned into gray lines and blocks, devoid of gravity and direction.

If the dormitory building in the real world is a crazy and twisted maze, then from the perspective of the Shadow Kingdom, this maze is like a poorly made paper model, where all the folds and chaos lose their meaning.

Guided by the Shadow Legion, Qianyu moved effortlessly between the projections of the chaotic building.

His spiritual vision remained constantly activated.

Observing the real world from the perspective of the Shadow Kingdom, those points of magical distortion become clearly visible.

It's like a complex network of capillaries that runs throughout the entire building, and all the vessels eventually converge at a storage room at the end of the third-floor corridor.

So that's where they were hiding.

Qianyu snorted coldly and gestured for the ninja to take him there.

Led by the Shadow Legion, Qianyu sped through one distorted spatial rift after another, racing along this highway unaffected by the real world.

It felt like playing a 3D parkour game, with the surrounding scenery rushing past, but your feet remained firmly planted.

In less than three minutes, Kazama Chiba arrived at the target location.

The ninja released his grip, and Chiba stepped out from an inconspicuous shadow, landing once again on the wooden floor of the real world.

This is a small Japanese-style room located in a corner on the top floor.

There was no furniture in the room, only a blurry ball of light and shadow rotating erratically in the center of the tatami mat.

However, before Qianyu could even get close to the light and shadow, an extremely strong chill suddenly rose from his spine.

He looked down at his hands.

Wisps of black mist were seeping uncontrollably from his pores, climbing up his wrists like living parasites.

What's happening here?

Qianyu frowned, her mind racing to search for possible reasons.

In the past, when summoning the Shadow Legion to infiltrate the Shadow Kingdom, although one would feel oppressed, there would never be a situation where black energy seeps out of the body in such a substantial way.

Could it be because we stayed in the Shadow Dimension for too long this time, and were thus corrupted by the Shadow Kingdom?

Never mind, we'll talk about it later.

There are more important things to do right now.

Qian Yu suppressed her unease and refocused her attention on the scene before her.

The mystery cards are right in front of you.

Without hesitation, he raised his right hand, and the key to the seal appeared at his fingertips.

"Key that conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true power before me! Release the seal!"

The low, guttural chant echoed in the air.

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped several degrees, and the swirling light and shadow let out a mournful roar, trying to break free from the sealing array.

But Qianyu's magic chains had already locked it firmly, wrapping around it again and again, compressing it into a smaller and smaller point of light.

"I command you to revert to your original form!"

The light spots exploded.

The next second, a card with a maze pattern spun around and landed lightly in Qianyu's palm.

Chiyu stuffed the mystery card into her pocket, while subconsciously checking the back of her hand.

The black aura has dissipated.

Or rather, it has temporarily retreated below the skin's surface.

His brow furrowed slightly, but before he could delve deeper into the matter, the surrounding space began to tremble violently.

The moment the Mystery Card was sealed, the distorted barrier it created also collapsed.

It's like suddenly taking off tinted glasses you've worn for a long time, and the world suddenly becomes clear.

The corridors that should have been straight are now straight; the staircases that should have led to the first floor finally lead to the first floor; and the doors that should have been the main entrances have finally become the main entrances again instead of some damned rooftop entrance.

The panicked students were still trying to process what was happening when this sudden normalization left them even more bewildered.

"You bunch of brats!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka rushed into the hall, the hem of her white coat fluttering as she walked with her brisk strides.

"What are you dawdling about! I told you to put your luggage down, why are you all crammed into the lobby?! You're already half an hour overdue!"

The students in the hall were stunned for a few seconds, then erupted into deafening cheers and shouts.

Some people collapsed to the ground, some rushed out the door to greedily breathe in the fresh air, and many more surrounded Hiratsuka Shizuka, recounting their terrifying experience.

"Teacher! There was a ghost in the building just now!"

"We're trapped in a maze! We've climbed over ten thousand steps!"

"Haunted?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's brows furrowed deeply. "What nonsense are you spouting in broad daylight—"

"It's true! The place behind the door isn't where it's supposed to lead!"

"I almost fell from the third floor into the basement!"

"And that dorm supervisor! He saw it too!"

Chapter 115 The Second Clow Card? ??

Hiratsuka Shizuka was so dizzy from the noise.

She looked at the group of students who were usually mischievous but were now like frightened quails, and then at the dormitory manager standing next to the front desk, pale-faced and nodding frantically in agreement. Her brows furrowed into a knot.

Afterwards, Hiratsuka Shizuka personally led several boys to check the room that the students had described as having a cliff right outside the door.

Upon entering, all that was inside were neat tatami mats and quilts folded into neat squares.

She then pushed open another door.

It's still a regular guest room.

We tried five or six rooms in a row, but none of them showed the "strange phenomenon" described by the students.

"So you guys are messing with me?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around and looked at the group of terrified students with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you all hallucinating from heatstroke?"

"Teacher! We didn't lie!"

"Yes! Something really happened just now!"

"That dormitory supervisor can also testify!"

The dormitory supervisor who was called out huddled behind the counter, trembling. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he had no choice but to stand up.

"Yes, it's true... I don't know what happened... but it turned out like this as soon as they arrived today... I've been doing this for fifteen years, and I've never seen anything like it before."

Hiratsuka Shizuka remained silent for a few seconds.

She doesn't believe in ghosts or gods. As a highly educated modern person, she firmly believes that all phenomena in the world can be explained by science.

But it's possible for one person to lie, and it's also possible for two people to collude. Dozens of people plus a senior employee might put on a show for her.

That's not very realistic.

Moreover, the fear on these students' faces couldn't be faked; the terror that seeped from their very bones couldn't be imitated by acting.

"Never mind, contact the bus driver immediately."

Hiratsuka Shizuka demonstrated decisiveness as a team leader.

Whether this is a collective hallucination or something truly unclean, this place is clearly no longer safe to stay in.

"Whether it's haunted or whatever, today's event is canceled. Everyone pack your things immediately, let's head back now."

No one objected to the order.

The students poured out like prisoners granted amnesty, eager to leave this eerie place immediately.

Qianyu stood on the outskirts of the crowd, and upon hearing the decision, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

This was a wonderful surprise, as he was already planning to go back because of Camilla.

Besides, since I already have the cards, I might as well not bother with this fake one.

Soon, the students rushed back to their assigned rooms at ten times the speed of a normal fire drill, grabbed their bags, and ran out.

The bus started up again.

Qianyu sat by the window, watching the resort gate gradually disappear into the distance, and leisurely put on her headphones.

It's finally over.

Now, all we need to do is quietly sit back on the bus and wait for the convoy to leave this troublesome place; then today's troubles will be completely over.
