I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"Senior, is the throne about to change hands?"

Indeed, Fujii Ren astutely deduced the likely purpose of the group that had come to Suwahara City.

With Fujii Ren's opening remarks, the audience, who had been marveling at the power of God, were pulled back to reality by her sudden words.

Yes, with Skadi's explanation, intelligent people have already deduced that the throne of the gods is likely to undergo a change, based on the previous events involving demons and domineering divine characteristics.

"Yes, that's right. Once the leader of the Black Round Table completes the transmutation circle in Suwahara City and devours the souls of the world, he will arrive at the Outflow, destroy the current world, and create a completely new one."

Skadi nodded in agreement. In principle, given its global reach, only one Overlord God could exist at any given time.

After all, the God of Seeking the Way focuses on internal development and cannot ascend to the throne.

"At the time of the [leak], to be precise, that person was still known as a [god candidate] or a [challenger to God, rebel]. The leader of the Black Round Table had already reached the ultimate [creation] level, so you probably understand their purpose, right?"

"...Understood."

Fujii Ren clenched her fists inwardly. Perhaps she didn't have any aversion to the world as it was now, but others did not.

Communication and exchange were not working; this was a plan they had been preparing for a long time.

In order to protect their daily lives from disruption, they are mortal enemies with Fujii Ren, and there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence.

"Because time is short, I'm going to use the simplest and fastest way to make you stronger. It won't be easy, so be prepared, right?"

Skadi looked into the other person's eyes and said this to Fujii Ren.

Are you ready to step into this horror drama?

"Um..."

There was no confusion, or rather, no way out. Fujii Ren only had one path to choose: to move forward, and the same was true for Skadi.

"First, let's talk about your relic, the 'thing' you contracted a few days ago."

"Huh! When did I contract a holy relic?!" Fujii Ren asked incredulously and bewilderedly.

When did she contract with the relic? She has absolutely no memory of it.

Skadi, her face expressionless and calm, pointed to Fujii Ren's arm and said softly, "It's the thing that made you faint in the museum."

"...guillotine!?"

In a daze, he remembered that girl in the twilight, and Fujii Ren blurted out the answer without thinking.

"That's right, the night you went to the hospital after you fainted, that thing disappeared, and it made a half-baked relic contract with you."

Half-baked...

Fujii Ren scratched the back of her head. Although she hadn't done well, she didn't know anything about the so-called Eternal Destruction and the Relic Contract.

"Because of your half-hearted self-control, when you dream at night, someone related to you is affected by the killing impulse in your place, hunting souls at night."

Just after Skadi's question was raised, the long-absent announcement sounded in the viewing area, and a question was placed before everyone.

[Question: Who is the person who is influenced by Fujii Ren and has two sides to her?]

【A: Yuzashirou】

【B: Reia Himuro】

【C: Kasumi Ayase】

【D: Sakurai Hotaru】

.......

In Genshin Impact, in the Teyvat world, Paimon, who was preparing to find a way to reach Inazuma, saw this answer and immediately shook his head, not paying attention to the viewing space at the moment.

"Is it the murderer from Fujii Ren's dream? Traveler, who do you think it is?" Paimon scratched his head, looking at the four options and unsure which one to choose.

The indiscriminate killing and soul-devouring by the serial killer left a deep impression on all viewers, including Paimon.

I thought it was just a dream of Fujii Ren, but it turns out there really is a serial killer.

But if you were to ask who is the person who represents both sides of Fujii Ren's relationship, it would be hard to know who to choose.

Hearing Paimon's reminder, Ying also took some time to think about the answer. There must be many people who are very interested in this question. After all, if they could get something related to that world, wouldn't they be making a fortune?

Four options for your own observation and reflection.

First up is Yuza Shirou, a name that sounds like a man's. He was someone who spoke to Fujii Ren on the phone before, but didn't appear on screen.

Most viewers felt that this option was very likely.

Option B, Himuro Reia, is the girl who had a friendly conversation with Skadi in the church before. She appears to be a taciturn and fragile girl.

Although you can't judge a book by its cover, Himuro Reia really doesn't look like one.

The remaining character, Ayase Kasumi, is just an ordinary person cherished by Fujii Ren, and there's nothing particularly outstanding about her.

As for Sakurai Hotaru, she's the one who got punched by Skadi and sent flying to the moon.

So, apart from Ayase Kasumi, who was kept in the dark and unaware of the truth.

The other three options are all more or less related to the supernatural; either they possess extraordinary powers, or they are connected to demons.

With that in mind, someone soon couldn't resist submitting their answer.

[“Half-Demon Naraku” submitted the answer, choosing A]

【wrong answer】

[A corresponding punishment will be imposed: 'Personal fortune will decline for three years' (Note: This refers to a period of extreme bad luck where going out or engaging in any activity carries a very high risk of injury or death.)]

[You have one chance to answer the question. If you fail again, the question will be invalid. Please think carefully and observe before answering.]

Countless viewers paused slightly before answering the question upon seeing this punishment, and a certain Naraku from the Inuyasha world turned green—no, his entire demon face turned green.

It concerns personal luck, meaning that whatever you do next will be unsuccessful, and there is a great risk of losing your life.

And this misfortune lasted for three years!

Regardless of Naraku's own horrible mood, some viewers who saw this punishment were definitely having second thoughts.

After all, it involves something as mysterious as personal luck, and some wealthy people or those with many enemies are unlikely to dare to accept such punishment.

"Ugh, unlucky? I'm already unlucky enough..." A white-haired adventurer who was adventuring in the area outside Mondstadt was usually unlucky but just tough. He scratched the back of his head after seeing this punishment.

Bennett prepared to answer the question, so he thought about it carefully. Yuza Shirou, a character who had not yet appeared, was immediately eliminated as an incorrect option.

Bennett's intuition told him that Reia Himuro and Kasumi Ayase didn't seem like the crazy type.

As for Sakurai Hotaru, a strong person who survived being thrown to the moon by Skadi, she showed hostility and hatred towards Skadi from the moment she appeared, which is quite intriguing.

['Unfortunate Benny' submitted his answer, choosing D]

【wrong answer】

[A corresponding penalty will be imposed: 'The respondent's misfortune will be doubled for one year.']

[Two attempts to answer the question have been used; this question is now invalid.]

“The level of misfortune has doubled…” Bennett looked at the punishment with some disappointment, and sighed. He was disappointed with both failing the question and the punishment.

Misfortune soon befell him as well: unprovoked landslides, unexpectedly powerful enemies, and adventures that always ended in failure—these incidents occurred much more frequently.

I used to be able to find something in treasure chests, but I haven't found anything since.

However, the unlucky Vulcan accepted these misfortunes calmly and, after feeling uncomfortable for a while, got used to them.

Although he was seriously injured every time he went on an adventure, he was so lucky that he was never in any real danger. The only people in danger were others who were within a kilometer of him.

Well, this guy's luck is really strange.

.......

Returning to the video footage, the answers to the previous questions were also revealed by someone else.

"It has something to do with me... Kasumi!?"

Fujii Ren was slightly puzzled as to who had been affected by her, but when Skadi said it was someone related to her, she immediately thought of Ayase Kasumi, who had gone to the museum with her to see the guillotine.

Unbelievable! I never imagined that the beheading murderer in Suwahara City was my childhood friend.

But after realizing what had happened, a great deal of guilt welled up in her heart. If what her senior said was true, then Kasumi had become like this because she was influenced by the bloodlust of eternal destruction.

It's all because of her.

“You didn’t fully contract the relic back then. A fragment of the guillotine was inside Xiang Chun’s body. When your killing impulse flared up, it was during the dream. At that time, she transformed into a beast that hunted souls.”

Skadi's explanation contained no lies, but it didn't tell the whole story either, because the relationship between Fujii Ren and Kasumi was more than that.

The two-headed serpent staff has one head as a substitute and the other as the real thing.

The stand-in is responsible for drawing fire, giving the real body enough time to grow and avoid premature death.

This guy has written countless horror shows; this level of scheming is just a piece of cake for him.

"That......"

"If you want to help her or save her, you have to solve your own problems first."

As Fujii Ren anxiously got up to go to Ayase Kasumi's side, Skadi's indifferent words interrupted him, causing him to stiffen and calm down.

Yes, the problem lies with herself; Xiangchun was merely affected by her.

"From now on, although you haven't even fully entered the [Event] rank due to the incomplete Relic Contract, the power you possess is still waiting to be activated."

As she spoke, Skadi conjured a pistol out of thin air, right before Fujii Ren's bewildered eyes, and pointed it directly at her, much to Fujii Ren's panic.

"Senior, senior..."

Is this level of stimulation right from the start? Isn't that going too far?

"Shoot your thigh in five seconds. Focus and think carefully about what you can do with the guillotine pact."

"I..."

“3, 2, 1——”

Bang!

Time doesn't stop just because Fujii Ren isn't ready. Skadi mercilessly fired, hitting Fujii Ren in the thigh.

"what--"

Fujii Ren couldn't help but scream in agony, blood splattering out as excruciating pain surged into his brain.
