After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 363 Faster, faster!
Heavy breathing echoed outside the door, like some huge furnace constantly adding and releasing gas.

The sound of breathing was muffled by the mask, making it difficult to tell which side of the door it was coming from.

This reminded Matsushima Banharu of his university days. Back then, although the school's land area wasn't as valuable as it is now, there weren't enough rooms for students to live in, so they had to compete based on their grades.

She was one of the successful residents, but her stay was far from the youthful and joyful experience she had imagined; instead, it was filled with many inconveniences.

The roommate's snoring is the most serious problem. When it's late at night and all other senses are weakened, hearing becomes amplified.

As my roommate snored, my breathing became erratic, leaving me with a choked feeling of not being able to catch my breath.

The feeling now is similar to that time. The enclosed space in the closet makes Matsushima Banharu feel like she's back on that hot night, with her roommate's strange breathing beside her.

Overwhelmed by fear, Matsushima Banharu felt her breathing rhythm completely disrupted, wanting to adjust but afraid to make too much noise.

There wasn't much time to adjust; as carbon dioxide accumulated in the closet, the temperature and oxygen levels were gradually approaching uncomfortable thresholds.

Mustering her courage, Matsushima Banharu pushed open the cabinet door.

Fortunately, the cabinet doors were well-maintained and didn't make the classic creaking sound you hear in horror movies.

A thick wool carpet was laid on the floor, and although she had long since discarded her high heels, she didn't feel cold at this moment.

The ideal material right now is curtains. The curtains of the two huge floor-to-ceiling windows can be connected together and hang down to the balcony on the next floor, with some space left.

The only problem is that it's not very convenient to take it off; you need to use the shoe-changing stool next to it.

The shoe-changing stool was originally designed to match the wardrobe next to it. Now that it has been moved and is no longer supported by the wardrobe, the center of gravity becomes somewhat delicate and requires a certain degree of balance.

The manor's curtains were the kind that were easy to remove and change, and the colors were frequently changed for holidays or special dates, so taking them down at this moment was effortless, which relieved her.

The sound of breathing still lingered nearby, and Matsushima Banharu's hands were slightly sweaty.

Just as both curtains were about to be taken down, a black inscription appeared out of nowhere.

“Listen?” Matsushima Wanharu saw the words clearly, but before she could realize what was happening, the black words suddenly turned blood red.

It began to listen.

In that instant, her already unstable center of gravity almost collapsed, but fortunately, Matsushima Banharu managed to maintain a backward leaning posture and did not fall.

Matsushima Banharu immediately understood the meaning of the words and did not make any unnecessary movements. The standoff lasted for a full five seconds before the red text finally disappeared.

Even so, Matsushima Banharu did not collapse. The reason was simple: unlike others who were far away from the killer, the killer was right outside his door at this moment.

She forced herself to straighten up again, and quickened her movements slightly.

The movement she had just made caused a slight cramp in her lower back. Fortunately, the breathing outside the door was gradually fading away, which relieved her. She then reached out to remove another curtain.

It began to listen.

It began to listen.

【…】

The brain has to pause before it can even think, but what comes before fear is the weakness and exhaustion in the already cramped lower back.

The next moment, Matsushima Bansei finally succumbed to gravity and fell to the ground.

Ruined……

"Boom!"

With the cushioning provided by the floor mat, and thanks to my usual control over my physique, the fall wasn't too bad.

But the glaring red lettering still foreshadowed Matsushima Banse's fate.

【It heard you…】 The next moment, heavy, powerful, and rapid footsteps quickly approached from afar, followed by the familiar, terrifying giant axe smashing open the wooden door.

At that moment, Matsushima Bansei didn't care about the noise anymore. She leaped up, enduring the pain, and forcefully pulled down the remaining curtains along with the track, making a piercing sound.

Matsushima Wansei could swear that this was the fastest she had ever been in her life.

The two curtains were quickly tied together, but because a section of the track with a broken piece served as a fixing point, they didn't need to be tied too tightly.

But an accident happened.

Just as Matsushima Wanqing was about to tie the curtain cord to the balcony railing, she found that she couldn't tie a knot properly—the icy railing couldn't hold the silk curtains at all, and the knot could be torn open with just a slight tug.

If you try to climb up there, you'll only fall!

The wooden door had been broken open, and the murderous ghost entered the room carrying its axe.

In the nick of time, Matsushima Banharu suddenly remembered a fishing knot that her deceased husband had taught her.

Yes! That's it!
Matsushima Banharu suppressed her trembling hands and began to tie knots rapidly.

His footsteps drew closer, each one feeling as if they were treading on her heart.

"Faster, faster! Faster, faster, faster! The killer is coming! The killer is coming!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry..."

The knot is tied.

But a huge shadow also loomed over Matsushima Banharu.

She stiffly raised her head, meeting the eyes hidden behind the crocodile-like helmet.

"what!!!"

----------

Inside the entertainment room.

Kogoro Mouri and his group scattered, searching everywhere for something.

Instead of finding Jiang Chuan Yingxue and Gao Qiao Mubai who remained there, they found the rope that had been cut open and used to bind Gao Qiao Mubai.

The other party has most likely already fled this place.

Although no one was found, it was still better than finding a pair of corpses, so everyone stopped worrying about it and started looking for books in the recreation room.

Don't get me wrong, it's not about adding entertainment to the high-pressure environment; they're searching for body parts hidden here.

The clues emerging from the black mist, the one belonging to the other leg, is a fairy tale book located in the entertainment room.

Although they hadn't personally found the limbs, Kogoro Mouri and his group guessed that these limbs probably wouldn't just be left there, but would require some kind of decryption, just like now.

"found it!"

Xiao Lan's surprised voice rang out, and everyone quickly gathered around. They saw that Xiao Lan was holding a fairy tale book with a darkened atmosphere in her hands.

"The story of the Little Mermaid?"

At the others' prompting, Xiaolan gently opened the book.

The book contains no complete story, only a question formed by a single line of distorted text:
"The Little Mermaid successfully grew legs, became a human, and came ashore to meet her beloved prince."

"But why did the prince send men to capture the Little Mermaid and beat her to death as soon as they met?"
