You say this is a love game?

From below, there was a sound like the surface of water being stirred.

"Is there water?"

Mizutani Makoto was shocked.

But now he had already slid down the slope for an unknown distance, and it would be too time-consuming and energy-consuming to brake and then climb back up.

【Number of explorations: 3/3】

Besides, he came here to open up new land!

If you can beat him, beat him. If you can’t, just remember it and beat him later. He has three lives tonight, so what is there to be afraid of?

Mizutani Makoto slid down faster and faster, the wind whistling in his ears, and darkness surging like a wriggle at the end of his vision.

But just below the slope, at the end of the darkness, a ray of light pierced through the gloom, and the strands of light illuminated the world, and this long slope finally came to an end.

A quick glance from the exit of the ramp revealed an area resembling a swimming pool.

...Danger!

Mizutani Makoto's eyes suddenly opened up, and in an instant an extremely strong sense of crisis emerged from his heart.

But how fast is Mizutani Makoto's decline now?

There was no extra time to adjust, and the distance of less than 100 meters passed in a flash. Mizutani Makoto had just raised his large sword horizontally in front of him when it had already slid off the entire slope and was exposed in the dimly lit swimming pool.

This is an underground space.

White tiles covered the entire field of vision, reflecting a faint halo of light. The blue pool water rippled slightly, probably reaching the ankles, but its height was particularly astonishing. The pillars that were also covered with tiles were particularly tall, supporting a ceiling that was more than twenty meters high!

This is simply a huge underground cave.

But before Mizutani Makoto could see the whole picture, he had to urgently pull his mind back to deal with the sense of crisis that kept stimulating his senses.

"hiss!!"

He heard a sharp scream.

But Mizutani Makoto had no way to stop. His body rushed down the slope and flew into the air, trying his best to maintain balance in mid-air.

The momentum of the rush was extremely fierce.

Mizutani Makoto needed a few seconds to relieve himself, but the reality was that he was at his most vulnerable and didn't even have a few seconds to react.

"Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!"

boom!

There was a sound of a huge creature disturbing the water in the pool, and a fishy smell came from the front.

Mizutani Makoto's final wisdom is the [Gorgeous Golden Box] that emerged from his hand.

A golden box that can withstand the impact of powerful opponents without being damaged!

But the next moment, the fishy smell finally revealed its true nature.

It was a terrifying and strange face of a woman, with disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, and a face as tall as three stories, with a bloody mouth that was almost torn apart. The corners of her lips had already cracked, and smelly blood was rolling out.

It had been lurking here for a long time, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap, and the trajectory of Mizutani Makoto's slide was actually heading towards that bloody mouth!

"boom!!!"

He and his box were devoured in one gulp, like a small snack delivered to the door! !

One step to the stomach.

"This guy is a snake!!"

Mizutani Makoto reacted immediately, but at this moment he had been swallowed alive!

In the snake's esophagus, Mizutani Makoto shouted angrily and raised the Chidori Maru in his hand. The more than two-meter-long large sword was swallowed along with the peristalsis of the esophagus, and forced into the snake's esophagus, directly breaking it open and piercing its flesh, leaving a huge tearing wound in its body.

But just how thick is this snake?

Mizutani Makoto used both Chidori Maru and sword energy, but he still couldn't pierce it!

The snake was roaring outside, and along with its roar, the flesh and blood around Mizutani Makoto began to squeeze towards him. The python's entanglement and squeezing force were terrifying, and this squeeze directly flattened all the bones in Mizutani Makoto's body, making it difficult for Mizutani Makoto to exert any more strength.

But he still has spiritual power to drive Chidorimaru!

"Thunder Prison!"

Accompanied by a dull sound, a large ball of thunder power exploded in its abdominal cavity. The entire esophagus of the giant snake was burned through by Mizutani Makoto, and Mizutani Makoto fell directly into the flesh and blood of the giant snake.

But the charred flesh sprouted new buds again, and the giant snake seemed to have tenacious vitality to support it, and it actually pushed him into its stomach despite such a heavy burden!

In an instant, Mizutani Makoto felt a suffocating burning and corrosive sensation!

The stomach acid could not even be described as concentrated sulfuric acid, it was simply boiling magma. The moment Mizutani Makoto was splashed in the face, his entire face was burned. As the python's abdomen contracted strongly, Mizutani Makoto's bones were crushed a second time, and then his whole body dissolved in the extremely strong stomach acid.

Ending: [Don't worry, this guy is sliding over! ]

Chapter 171: Exploration degree is less than 2%, which makes it impossible to defeat the Peach Blossom Demon's gift attack warning.

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and the pillars moved.

Mizutani Makoto opened his eyes again. The pain that was dissolved by stomach acid seemed to still remain in his body, but for the battle-hardened Mizutani Makoto, it was just a little bit of wind and frost.

Half truths and half lies.

"……it hurts."

Under the torture of many teachers, Mizutani Makoto's willpower has become strong enough, but being strong does not mean that he has no sense of pain, he just becomes able to endure the pain.

How many beatings must I take before I can become king?

Makoto Mizutani sat down on the stairs in the public corridor on the first floor, thinking about his exploration of the hospital map.

In the present world, Misawa Medical Center is a medical building consisting of an eight-story outpatient and emergency building and a fifteen-story ward building. In addition to the eight floors above ground, the outpatient and emergency building also has a parking garage underground, and the ward building also has underground floors, with a total of two floors underground.

"And the layout of this hospital building is basically the same as the current Misawa Medical Center."

This is very different from the private Hiiragigaoka Academy.

The layout of the private Hiiragigaoka Academy is almost the opposite of the current Yomi High School, but the Misawa Medical Center seems to be the real "Misawa Medical Center".

"That's right."

"The teleportation point is marked as Misawa Medical Center... This place isn't the product of a destroyed hospital, but rather a fractured structure based on a hospital in the real world."

"I entered from the fourth floor of the ward building, and the place I appeared was the public corridor on the first floor of the emergency department building."

In order to verify the similarity between the crack and the real world, Mizutani Makoto went to the ward building next door, which was Ward 404 that he had just seen.

In the real world, floors four to fourteen of the ward building are all ward floors, and even the delivery room is in this building.

The first to third floors are lined with shops, staff canteens, doctors' duty rooms and the like. Things that cannot be put into the emergency building are placed on the lower floors of the ward building. When Mizutani Makoto glanced at the house numbers of the Central Blood Collection Room, Radiology Department and the like, he realized that this was exactly the same design as in the real world.

"That's quite convenient. Just use the map of the real world to think."

Thinking of this, Mizutani Makoto glanced at his soul.

Soul: 45133

Not counting the backup hidden energy, Mizutani Makoto's soul originally had 47,000 or nearly 48,000. After paying 10,000 to Ippon Taro for forging the weapon, only more than 30,000 were left. Later, he refreshed it in the hidden place, and taking into account the faceless man refreshed in the hospital, the number of souls now remains at more than 40,000.

"That boss just now must be of a very strong rank."

“I just don’t know its specific level.”

"This small hospital is actually full of hidden talents. A simple tug would reveal a hidden boss, and there's even a pool core hidden underneath the hospital..."

That place doesn't look like a single boss room.

Mizutani Makoto felt that it might be a hidden map that could be explored.

The thoughts in his mind gathered together and the boy stood up.

"One wave is enough."

"Let's open up the wasteland first."

There are so many floors in this hospital that can be used for fighting.

But it itself is not particularly large, unlike the previous private Hiiragigaoka Academy, where the proportions were enlarged, while the Misawa Medical Center is more like the proportions of a modern Chinese medicine hospital, which results in Mizutani Makoto passing through the floors very quickly.

The reason why he couldn't speed through it was that the monsters on some floors were hiding in rooms, and Mizutani Makoto had to pry open the rooms one by one.

"The most time-consuming part is actually collecting the spoils."

It was Mizutani Makoto's first opportunity to explore, and he fought his way all the way to the fourth floor. It took him nearly three hours to search through each floor. Every time he cleared the monsters, Satori Yoshiko would fly out to search for those "weak souls" and some small props hidden in every corner.

Soul +61

Also on the fourth floor, Mizutani Makoto used Chidorimaru to chop off the head of a faceless man. This time, he stepped into a ward at the end of the fourth floor and found a very iconic diary fragment inside.

[Fragmentary pages of Misawa Medical Center diary]

[Description: I heard this was a warehouse converted into a hospital ward. It was apparently abandoned, but it was reactivated due to a shortage of wards... I always feel uneasy living here. It feels like there's always someone moving around outside the door, but when I asked my roommates, none of them noticed.]

This place seems to be the nest of Bata Bata.

Generally speaking, there will be small treasuries for small bosses.

But Mizutani Makoto was in a bit of a dilemma. Before, he used the [Kurosawa Ryojin's Candlestick] to find the BOSS's treasury, but that thing was limited to a certain area. Now that Kurosawa Ryojin had been chopped down by him, even the cracks on it exploded. In fact, the candlestick prop had become a collection in the illustrated book to satisfy his collecting addiction, and it would be doomed to gather dust in the warehouse for the rest of its life.

“Just trashed the whole place.”

Makoto Mizutani is not a pedantic person.

It’s fine that I can’t destroy the terrain when playing the game, but can’t I destroy the terrain by digging into the cracks?

The places that were indestructible before were all caused by barriers or external interference. Now it is just a ward, so it is easy for Makoto Mizutani to break it open.

"boom!!"

About ten minutes later, Mizutani Makoto found a pile of broken limbs and arms from the wall, and also dug out seven [Ordinary Souls]

"A small gain."

Mizutani Makoto turned and left, and fought all the way to the fifth floor.

The lights on the fifth floor of the ward building were dim. Apart from the faceless man holding a black umbrella under the distant light, there seemed to be some monster lurking in the darkness.

"whee……"

Mizutani Makoto could hear a faint laugh.

He walked through the darkness, and then a smiling face made of black fog opened its lips hideously behind him, and the only thing that responded to the smiling face was the flying thunderbirds. The three thunderbirds emitted a blazing light of fire and thunder, and their magnificent power illuminated the darkness. The evil creature that appeared immediately showed a look of fear.

Stab it!

A burning electric current flashed in the air.

Under Chidori's control, Yatagarasu blasted all the evil spirits that tried to approach Mizutani Makoto into pieces, and prompts of [Soul +79] popped up in Mizutani Makoto's sight.

The corresponding thing here should be the legend of the black shadow in the hospital.

"The smiling face that emerged from the darkness isn't so much an urban legend... indeed, it can be considered an urban legend."

On the public corridor on the fifth floor, the faceless man who pounced on them was instantly transformed from a cold monster into warm equipment.

【Faceless Man's Suit】

Description: Faceless Man's favorite suit. He will appear in the deceased's hospital room, holding a black umbrella, dressed in a suit and tie, offering a silent prayer for the deceased. This suit slightly increases your affinity with monsters. Assembling the complete set grants the wearer a +1 Charm bonus.

【Evaluation: Looks like a dog.】

[Faceless Man's Black Umbrella], [Faceless Man's Suit], [Faceless Man's Trousers], [Smiling Ghost Mask]...

Mizutani Makoto felt that he was just here to purchase goods. At this moment, Satori Yoshiko's luck bonus shone brightly, and a lot of random monster equipment dropped out.

It was not until Yoshiko Satori tugged at the young man's sleeve in dissatisfaction that Mizutani Makoto realized that it was already past five in the morning. Yoshiko's mother, who was worried about her eldest son, was squinting her eyes and looking helplessly at the Soul-type player who played games all night long.

"I was so engrossed in the fight."

Mizutani Makoto scratched his head, but he knew it was time to stop.

He paused on the fifth floor, his gaze fixed on the [Main Quest: Blueprint for the Future!], only then did he discover something astonishing—his exploration rate remained below 2%.

Mizutani Makoto frowned. "That doesn't make sense. The entire ward building only has fifteen floors above ground, and with the two underground floors, it's only seventeen. I penetrated five floors."

"Even though the Emergency Department is diluting my percentage, I also stumbled upon a hidden map. Taking all these factors into consideration, my exploration level should be around 20% at the very least... 15% or more is definitely for me."

But the reality is that Mizutani Makoto's exploration level is not even 2%, and always stays at the minimum 1%.
