A look of joy appeared on Kanako Kurusu's face.

Although it seemed like she was being chased by something, the fact that she could still shout so loudly meant that she was still alright.

A tall figure emerged from the thick fog.

The electronic candle in her hand still emitted an orange glow.

As Makishima Saori ran for her life, she kept glancing back at the road behind her.

Countless dark figures followed closely behind her, constantly reaching out their hands, trying to grab her.

"Why are you chasing me?! I've never done anything wrong!!"

Saori Makishima wanted to cry, but tears would only slow down her escape.

Book 1: Chapter 145 Believe First, Believe Again, Believe Finally

Saori Makishima was terrified.

She had originally planned to go upstairs to find Kanako Kurusu.

She could hear the screams even downstairs; it was clear that someone had encountered some danger.

In terms of personal feelings, Kanako Kurusu is the younger sister of her master, Kanata Kurusu.

Logically speaking, the other party participated in the substitute game in order to help him.

Saori Makishima couldn't just abandon her.

Even knowing that this place was dangerous, she wanted to do her best to get Kanako Kurusu out of there.

But little did she know, as she bent down to re-tie her untied shoelaces, she was surprised to find herself surrounded by a group of dark figures.

The corridor was densely packed with people, filling it with chat devices and other information.

I don't even know how long I've been following her.

She was almost scared to death on the spot.

They could only charge forward and try to escape from where they were.

As soon as she started running away, these shadowy figures, for some unknown reason, suddenly rioted.

It followed closely behind, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws.

It seems they intend to leave her here.

A cold wind kept brushing against the back of her neck.

Countless dark hands reached out from behind, trying to tug at the hem of her clothes.

What should I do!

Saori Makishima didn't dare to turn around at all.

She was afraid that if she looked at it again, her legs would go weak and she would collapse on the spot.

Just then, a thick fog inexplicably rose in the corridor, making it impossible for her to see anything in front of her. She could only lower her head and stare intently at her feet.

To avoid accidentally stepping into an empty space.

"Saori, Saori! Here, here!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Saori Makishima couldn't help but feel excited.

It's Kanako Kurusu!

They quickly looked in the direction from which the sound came.

In the thick fog, there stood two figures, one tall and one short.

Its specific appearance is unclear.

But with a figure similar to that of an elementary school student and those signature twin tails, it's definitely Kanako.

Saori Makishima perked up.

A pair of long legs quickly ran in that direction.

He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the crimson hair.

Without time to look around, he quickly grabbed Kanako Kurusu's hand and was about to continue running forward.

"Run, Kanako! There are so many ghosts behind us!"

"No, no, no! Lord Kujo is here, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Kanako Kurusu was getting extremely anxious.

I finally found two saviors, and now you've dragged them away! What am I supposed to do?!

Are we really going to escape from here by ourselves?

However, her physique was far inferior to Makishima Saori's, and she was completely unable to resist her strength.

Fortunately, at that moment, Kujo Toru reached out and grabbed her wrist, preventing Makishima Saori from forcibly dragging her away.

Lord Kujo? Who is that?

Saori Makishima's mind went blank for a moment.

I turned my head instinctively.

Only then did she realize that there was a boy standing next to Kanako Kurusu.

He was wearing the uniform of Sobu High School.

His expression was calm.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw the boy make a strange handprint with one hand.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely bright blue light suddenly illuminated the dimly lit corridor.

This forced her to close her eyes.

"Alright, let's keep going."

The intense light faded.

A boy's voice rang in my ears.

Saori Makishima opened her eyes, and the sight that greeted her made her mouth involuntarily agape.

That's it? It's all gone?

The corridor was empty.

All the black figures that had been chasing her had vanished.

The thick fog, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, also dissipated.

My vision returned to normal.

The setting sun shone into the corridor.

It gives people a sense of security for no reason.

"Don't just stand there! Hurry up and follow!"

Kanako Kurusu was somewhat exasperated by her slow-witted behavior.

What are you doing, spacing out at a time like this?!

Quickly grab onto Kujo Tetsu's powerful backer so we can escape together!

Holding Makishima Saori's hand, Kurusu Kanako quickly continued walking behind Kujo Toru, giving him a fawning smile.

"Lord Kujo, we can continue now."

Shaking his head, Kujo Toru didn't say anything more, but led them towards the first floor.

In his perception, the last remaining person was not in the teaching building.

Instead, it's in a special building across the street.

"Kanako, what exactly is going on?"

The two held hands and followed closely behind Kujo Toru. Makishima Saori finally began to come to her senses.

Recalling what had happened earlier, he couldn't help but look down at Kanako Kurusu.

When Makishima Saori caught a glimpse of the teddy bear doll pulling at her twin ponytails above her head, its ferocious and terrifying appearance made her look away.

"And what's that on your head...?"

"Oh, you mean Lord Cocoon?"

Kanako Kurusu tilted her head and adjusted the angle so that Mayu Suzumoto could sit more comfortably on her head.

"This is Lord Kujou's shikigami, it's very powerful!"

"Humph."

Suzumoto Mayu stood with her hands on her hips, head held high and chest out.

He looked smug.

But soon after, Kanako Kurusu added a sentence:

"But Lord Kujo is still the most powerful."

Although she still hasn't seen how Kujo Toru made his move.

But it doesn't matter, just believe it.

Facts will prove everything.

"As for what happened..." Kanako Kurusu's face fell:

"Actually, I don't quite understand either. Anyway, Kujo-sama said that we are now in the Yomiyama Middle School that we imagined in the book."

"Inside the book?!"

Saori Makishima's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Oh dear, it's too complicated. In short, Lord Kujo will escort us out!"

Kanako Kurusu said impatiently.

They did not reveal that the reason they were there was because of the substitution game.

Because she was worried that Makishima Saori would feel guilty.

Anyway, once she successfully gets out of here, Kanako Kurusu will definitely never touch this kind of spirit summoning game again, just for fun or to seek thrills.

Sometimes, a simple and ordinary life is actually quite nice.

The first floor is in a much worse state of disrepair than the upper floors.

Large sections of plaster have fallen from the ceiling.

There was a black substance of unknown material stuck to the wall.

Kujo Toru was the first to walk down.

Then, a dazzling spiritual light filled the space.

Fortunately, both Makishima Saori and Kurusu Kanako already have ample experience.

He closed his eyes immediately.

I didn't open my eyes again until I heard Kujo Toru's voice in my ear.

The journey thereafter was smooth and unobstructed.

The three of them arrived at the entrance of the teaching building without any problems.

Seeing that Kujo Toru was about to push the door open and leave, Makishima Saori mustered up her courage and reminded him:

"Um, Lord Kujo, I've tried opening all the doors and windows here, but they just won't open..."

boom!

A powerful and heavy kick.
