You say this is a love game?

This little jealous guy always gets jealous of strange things.

But Yajima Mai's jealousy came and went quickly. Mizutani Makoto rubbed her head and soon started to hum.

"We've almost finished exploring this instance."

Re-entering Misawa Medical Center, Mizutani Makoto once again stood on the public corridor of the emergency building. His eyes fell on the faceless man not far away, and he began to think about the current progress of the exploration.

Only five days had passed since he officially opened this copy.

But in just five days, Mizutani Makoto, without wasting any time, took out a lot of time every day to pile up in the cracks, and forcibly opened up the ground and underground of the emergency building. He even pushed the progress of the ward building to the twelfth floor at one time. Including the two underground floors, the ward building was pushed to fourteen floors to be exact.

There is a parking garage in the basement of the emergency building, while the two underground floors of the ward building are filled with places like the pharmacy, mechanical room, morgue, and autopsy room. There is nothing much to say about these places. There are some resurrected corpse brothers or sisters, but they are all paper-level monsters, plus the more standard lower-level or middle-level small BOSSes.

"This place is rather simple."

Compared to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the private Hiiragigaoka Academy with its endless stream of monsters, curses, mechanisms, and overflowing cesspool elements, the design of the Misawa Medical Center is rather lazier.

The monsters are reused, and the boss seems to be quite ordinary, unlike before when it gave Mizutani Makoto surprises everywhere.

There are even very few "diary fragments". Even if you occasionally pick one up, it is just the last words of the victims.

But after thinking about it for a while, Mizutani Makoto understood.

"This Misawa Medical Center may be a crack that appeared in recent years, or even in recent months."

"The rifts are made of obsessions, and the various designs within them are also filled with the shadow of obsessions... Take the private Hiiragigaoka Academy, for example. That rift is formed by many extremely distinct obsessions, and it has experienced hundreds of years of accumulation and change. If it hadn't been subjected to a fierce attack three years ago, I'm afraid its intensity would be even greater."

"In Fukui Prefecture, since rifts spawn more frequently than in other areas, the Fukui Exorcist Association is undoubtedly more experienced and efficient in dealing with rifts than in other areas. Rifts here simply don't have time to develop. Most are discovered and destroyed within a few years of forming."

Against this backdrop, Misawa Medical Center is undoubtedly a newly born niche.

The accumulation time is estimated to be less than two or three years.

In other words, Mizutani Makoto discovered it quickly. After some time, when the exorcists in Fukui Prefecture discovered this crack, they would probably suppress it with thundering means.

"The older the crack, the stronger it will be."

Makoto Mizutani also understood the underlying logic.

The older the crack, the stronger the obsession that has been passed down to this day.

And the older it is, the longer it takes to accumulate power, and the stronger the monsters born inside will be.

"According to this logic, there really are advanced dungeons..."

"I'm probably at the entrance to the advanced dungeon right now, but I have to find a way to get in..."

Apart from anything else, the gimmick of "Thousand-Year Crack" alone has already piqued Makoto Mizutani's curiosity.

"Let's clean up this place today."

Mizutani Makoto secretly decided that this had to happen faster.

"From the information I've learned before, the rifts in Fukui Prefecture are generally inhabited by powerful bosses. The snake I encountered earlier was one of them. However, that snake seems to be a boss in a hidden area, and it doesn't seem like it has the kind of obsession that would form the 'Hospital' rift. This means that this rift still needs a powerful boss."

Obsession determines the shape of the crack.

That snake has nothing to do with the "hospital" no matter how you look at it.

Makoto Mizutani summoned Chidori and released Mai Yajima. The former was in a domineering position, and the latter had also finished digesting the four [Violent Jade Flowers] and seemed to be about to break through to the paper level. Makoto Mizutani could then let Mai Yajima go without worry.

Wear the [Invisible Bird] and perform a special attack against "evil".

"Start brushing!"

If there is anything annoying, it is that there are very few teleportation points provided by Tongzi. Every time Mizutani Makoto wants to go up, he has to kill all the refreshed monsters. This will certainly earn him a lot of soul points, but Mizutani Makoto now has to hurry on his way, so he suddenly finds these monsters annoying.

You have to brush them, they will follow you all the way!

He climbed all the way to the top floor and looted the last three floors. The number of [Ordinary Souls] in his backpack alone soared to twenty-one. Just by squeezing the backup hidden energy, he could directly explode more than ten thousand souls. At this moment, the total number of his souls finally reached the eighty-five thousand mark.

"One hundred thousand souls are almost gathered."

However, on the top floor of the fifteenth floor, Mizutani Makoto did not encounter the BOSS.

The elevator...

On the fifteenth floor, Mizutani Makoto finally realized why the elevator was blocked.

Up ahead, the elevator kept opening and closing, as if there was an invisible person standing in the middle of the elevator, stuck there forever.

"You won't even let me take this shortcut?"

Mizutani Makoto was speechless.

It doesn't matter what's stuck in the elevator.

It's nothing more than an urban legend, or a monster like a ghost... The elevator that keeps opening when no one is around late at night, isn't this one of the classic ghost stories?

He applied some [Ghost Resin] on Chidori Maru. It didn't matter whether he applied it or not, but he planned to give this bastard some harsh treatment.

Soul +164

Or is it an elite monster of a lower rank?

Mizutani Makoto glanced at the ghost monster that was cut in half, and in an instant, it left behind a lower-level spirit core. The next moment, he stepped into the elevator without hesitation and began to search on the elevator's floor interface.

"Negative three floors?"

"This medical center only has a basement level 2, so where does the basement level 3 come from?"

Huh?

Mizutani Makoto is worried about not being able to find the BOSS!

The outpatient and emergency building was cleared, and now the fifteenth floor of the ward building was also completely cleared, but Mizutani Makoto still couldn't find the powerful boss that formed the hospital.

He was still wondering where that thing was hiding, and it turned out that the BOSS room was hidden here.

He pressed the button directly, and the elevator immediately fell down. The speed was so fast that Mizutani Makoto staggered for a while, but he reacted in an instant - this elevator was not only fast, it was shaking!

Crunch!

The elevator crashed to the ground in a frantic trembling. The entire elevator was twisted and deformed in an instant. A few seconds later, a large sword came out from it. The sharp sword energy directly tore open the iron wall of the elevator, and the figure of Makoto Mizutani also walked out.

"It doesn't even guarantee a smooth landing..."

He brushed the dust off his shoulders and realized that he was actually in a place similar to a swimming pool.

But isn't the pool hiding the map?

Mizutani Makoto looked ahead and immediately noticed something different - this place was more like a bathhouse than a swimming pool. Slender concrete pillars supported the ceiling, and neither the floor nor the pillars were covered with white tiles. Instead, they were exposed like an unfinished building that had not yet been renovated.

The real owner is also here.

There is a woman in front of my sight.

The woman was completely naked, like the Siren that sailors sang about, with her golden hair draped over her shoulders. Her figure was so graceful, and her naked posture simply aroused the darkest desires in people's hearts.

However, as soon as you see the wall of flesh and blood made up of countless hearts behind this banshee, I believe any desire will be instantly replaced by fear and nausea.

The heart continues to beat even after leaving the human body.

They pumped continuously, squeezing out the dirty blood from the severed blood vessels. The huge amount of blood flowed down from the wall of flesh and blood, gathering under the woman's body in strands, forming a dirty pool of blood.

The siren-like woman soaked her feet in blood. A closer look revealed a fleshy stem-like structure extending from the soles of her feet, hidden in the blood, and connected to the wall of flesh and blood behind her.

Seeing Mizutani Makoto arrive, the mermaid raised her head slightly.

Mizutani Makoto's face turned serious.

I saw that boss, a heart-shaped flute quickly grew out of her hand, and her delicate face full of sadness moved in front of the heart flute, pressed her red lips against the still bleeding blood vessels, and blew gently.

Suddenly, the melodious sound of the flute resounded in all directions!

Not only was she playing the flute, the wall of flesh and blood behind her, which was made up of countless hearts, was also blown at this moment. In an instant, the melodious flute sound even became grander. The unstoppable flute sound directly penetrated Mizutani Makoto's ears, reached his mind, and called to his heart!

Boom! Boom!

Look, isn’t this charming girl coming?

Mizutani Makoto's heart literally began to beat faster, and a feeling of discomfort spread from his chest, and along with this feeling appeared a familiar pop-up window.

【Death Curse: 1/100】

"There is such a mechanism?"

Mizutani Makoto grinned.

But what is surprising is that he did not summon spirits, take drugs, or risk his life. He just walked forward with a big sword, rushing to the battlefield as if he was going to die!

Limbs! Tentacles!

Disgusting limbs made of flesh and blood grew out of the blood or the wall. As the blood pool expanded, they even grew out of every inch of land covered by the blood pool, waving towards Mizutani Makoto with the force of breaking through the air.

Mizutani Makoto still didn't try his best.

He fought in this flesh, constantly approaching the woman, using his life to test her ability!

So, in the distant sound of the flute, Mizutani Makoto's heartbeat became faster and faster.

As he looked at it, the curse bar was gradually increasing.

Until a certain moment, Mizutani Makoto's vision blurred, and his chest was suddenly torn open.

【Death Curse: 100/100】

Mizutani Makoto's heart jumped out of his chest and bounced on the ground like a ball, all the way to the female half who was playing the flute.

Mizutani Makoto felt his limbs suddenly go limp, his strength rapidly draining away, and he fell to the ground with a thud, blood gushing out wildly from the wound in his chest.

The heart bounced all the way to the front of the music heart, and finally leaped and merged into the dirty heart flesh wall.

Mizutani Makoto's vision became increasingly blurry until it was completely dark.

Ending: [Heart ran away from home]

……

……

Musical heart.

Mizutani Makoto recognized her.

This is an urban legend that is often circulated in hospitals. Its prototype should be the story of a flute player abducting children. After some busybodies in Japan processed it a bit, it became a flute player holding a flute in the shape of a heart.

Whenever the flute player plays the heart flute, the person who hears the sound will have his heart beat faster, and the beating gradually becomes violent, and finally the heart jumps out of the chest by itself. The bloody heart jumps and goes away with the sound of the flute, while the victim falls to the ground and loses his life.

Tongzi's method of expression is "cursing to death".

Tongzi's "death curse" encompasses many things: the irresistible curse from the gods in the school corridor, the snow globes that parasitize human bodies in the auditorium, and now the flute sound that urges the heart to run away...

"Can a situation where death is inevitable as long as certain conditions are met be considered a death curse?"

So, there are different levels of curses to death.

Like the death curse in the school corridor, if you get caught in it, you're basically dead.

But for example, if a snow globe is parasitized, as long as you pull out the parasitic snow globe or burn it, the curse bar will go down.

The reason why the musical heart can curse death is because Makoto Mizutani is just a human being and will die without the heart.

【Number of explorations: 2/3】

Makoto Mizutani appeared on the first floor of the emergency room, holding his chest, his frown slowly relaxing.

The effect of her death curse on Mizutani Makoto accumulated for about three minutes. During this period, Mizutani Makoto's heartbeat became faster and faster. When it exceeded 80%, he felt difficulty breathing and his hands and feet became weak.

After the curse bar reaches 100%, he will die on the spot.

"Strictly speaking, two minutes into the battle, my combat effectiveness will begin to be affected by its flute sound, causing it to weaken... To be on the safe side, I must kill it within two minutes."

Of course, this time, Mizutani Makoto didn't even use the summoning of the gods. He was simply using swordsmanship and his mind to test the strength of this BOSS.

"Its mechanism should be to delay time, but coincidentally, my Chidori form has a high-burst killing skill, so it's not difficult to deal with it."

"I should even say that I've restrained this boss..."

However, he didn't want to kill this BOSS for the time being.

He never used his full strength.

"We have to solve the hidden map first."

With the case of Private Hiiragigaoka Academy as an example, Mizutani Makoto is of course clear that if the obsession that formed the rift is destroyed, the entire rift will disappear.

He didn't know whether the hidden map in the swimming pool was part of the rift, but to be on the safe side, he'd better kill the boss of the hidden map to see if that road led to the Millennium Rift. Once he had a clear idea, he could execute the boss.
