Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Blackish-yellow rocks, stained with blood and bits of flesh, rolled out from behind the door.

A pungent stench spread rapidly, as if hundreds or thousands of corpses were crowded behind that door, rotting together, compressed together, crushed together by the jumbled rocks, and mixed together to become stones flowing with black, foul blood.

The corridor is changing.

This place, which is clearly an indoor building, seems to be gradually transforming into the shape of a cave. Moreover, Shijou Maki can see that this change in shape is moving in the direction of the structure within the [blood vessels].

It seems impossible to open the door to cell D3 before then.

Meanwhile, Chika Fujiwara had already reached the gate of the quarantine zone.

Behind her, many soldiers were running around searching for her, but Chika simply picked up a scalpel, cut open the tightly closed door in front of her, and stepped inside.

boom!

A bullet pierced his body amidst the gunshot.

But the girl just gave a low hum and then casually entered the observation area.

The wound is healing rapidly.

After Chika swallowed a pill from the medicine bottle, she would be fine even if she were hit by a gun.

However, at the front of the corridor, the expressionless soldiers and researchers had already filled the entire corridor, leaving no gaps, standing densely packed in place. The soldier at the very front had already raised his gun, ready to unleash a second round of fire.

Behind the large hole cut open by the scalpel, soldiers were also chasing after them.

Gao Hai had already raised his head and looked at Lixer, who looked very tired, as he walked up from the side step by step.

"Mr. Gao, what are you doing here? Doesn't the rule say we can't go to the [gentle slope]? It's probably better not to get too close to that place. Speaking of which, Susan is missing. Have you seen her anywhere? I can't find her anywhere."

With a look of anxiety on his face, Lixer walked up to Gao Hai and asked hurriedly while panting heavily.

"Well, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure either, but your response was brilliant. Your goal was actually to maintain this place and keep it as it is now, right? I tried to disrupt your plans through various means, but you countered by laying traps in multiple directions. To ensure everything was in order, you even came here to confirm what I was doing. I must say, you're quite capable."

Gao Hai looked at Lixer, smiled at him, and spoke.

"Uh, Mr. Gao, what are you talking about?"

Taken aback by Gao Hai's words, Lixer stopped in his tracks, puzzled, and asked Gao Hai.

The power of blessings can still only be felt as kindness.

This is only natural, because Lixer genuinely only had goodwill towards Gao Hai; there was no malice in this person's mind.

Just as if, when Takami and Kaguya were face-to-face, Takami harbored some unsettling thoughts, Kaguya's blessing would sense and detect his slight malice. However, when Takami attempted to harbor ill intentions towards Kaguya through his mental link with Maki, Kaguya's blessing showed absolutely no reaction.

After this experiment, Gao Hai finally understood.

"However, there's one thing I think you might be mistaken about."

Gao Hai extended a finger and gently waved it twice in front of Lixer.

"A mistake?"

Looking bewildered, Lixer said subconsciously.

"I didn't actually summon that rescue team member."

As Gao Hai said this, he shook his rescue suit. Lixer looked down and realized that Gao Hai was not wearing a rescue team badge, but rather a badge of a similar color that looked like the kind children use.

The rescue team members who ventured into the crevice have disappeared.

It returned to Shijou Maki, who was now actually wearing the rescue team badge, held the explosives in its hands, lit them, and then rushed towards the ever-expanding cave.

Boom!

In the midst of the violent explosion, the rescue team members used their bizarre bodies to block the blast, leaving Maki, who was controlling her from behind, and Kaguya, who was destroying the cell door, unharmed. They were only left with ringing ears from the enormous explosion in the confined space.

"Of course, there's another mistake. That key isn't actually the Blood Key that can open any door. I just stained the key for the electrical room red."

Before the soldiers in front and behind could catch up, Fujiwara Chika reached the door of the personnel rest room on one side of the corridor and inserted the blood-red key into the lock.

Click——

The next moment, the guard post door not far from Gao Hai and Lixer slowly opened. The surging floodwaters swept in almost immediately, instantly spreading into the corridor.

The strange forces outside the research base are repelled by the base itself, so the clothes and other items in the water cannot enter the base. However, the water itself will not cause any problems.

In the surging water, Fujiwara Chika had already crouched in the corner, trying her best to stabilize her body and resist the impact.

Although the soldiers and researchers had strange identities, they were in a state of "playing" and were shaken a few times by the water, but their formation remained intact, and they still could not let Qianhua pass.

So the girl took a deep breath and took out the explosives she had prepared beforehand.

"Blow everything that blocks your way into the sky, that's the way of the gamer."

The pink-haired girl, muttering to herself, lit the fuse of the explosive and threw it directly at the spot where the soldiers and researchers were standing.

Chapter 70: All the lines are gradually connecting.

squeak-

The moment they used the blood key to open the door, Maki and Chika secretly exchanged keys. Chika took the blood key and hid it on her person, while Maki inserted the blood-stained key for the electrical room into the keyhole before making the motion of pulling it out.

The key to the power distribution room was designed to be matched with this door, so Maki's movements appeared perfectly normal. Even the surveillance camera in the prison corridor, which was directly facing her, could not detect any difference.

This isn't some sophisticated conspiracy or trick; it's just a small tactic.

But at this moment, this little trick is enough to help Gao Hai achieve his goal.

boom!

An explosion suddenly rang out at that moment.

The explosion came from inside the open guard post door. The walls and ceiling of the entire observation area collapsed, and the soldiers and researchers were tumbled together, unable to get up for a long time.

Gao Hai then took immediate action, running past Lixer and throwing a lit explosive towards the large slide.

Boom!

The second explosion was even louder.

As the water surged, the rock wall above the giant slide shattered instantly, plummeting down amidst the flames of the explosion.

Large rocks blocked the water outlet of the large slide, causing the water that was flowing down the slide to be blocked. Then, the blocked water began to flow more towards the opened guard post door, all of it flowing into the first floor of the research base.

"What are you doing?!"

Lixer, who hadn't expected this to happen, screamed in panic.

Gao Hai had already rushed in front of him and pinned Lixer against the rock wall on the spot.

"As expected of someone who understands explosives, I only asked that old gentleman a few questions, and he immediately pointed out the best way to blow up the giant slide. So, you shouldn't have to worry about your research base yet, right? Anyway, it's just a dungeon world under the influence of some strange force. Everything will return to normal after a while, isn't that great?"

As Gao Hai spoke, his gaze was fixed on the expression on Lixer's face.

If you can still call that a face.

distortion.

Completely twisted into an incomprehensible and bizarre posture, it reminded Gao Hai of the Women's Face Gang, but even they paled in comparison to the extreme degree of distortion. At this moment, the man's facial features were almost completely dislocated, and his hands, feet, and body were also in an extremely bizarre shape, as if suddenly, his body had collapsed from its most fundamental structure, turning into a twisted mixture of flesh and bone.

The blessings can no longer be felt by the other person.

The current Lixer is not human, but it doesn't seem to be strange either. Emotions like kindness and malice have completely disappeared. It is just a lump of "living flesh" and no longer has any thinking ability.

What on earth is this?

A pair of blood-sucking scissors appeared in Gao Hai's hand, and with a snip, he cut off a large chunk of the rotten flesh.

Immediately afterwards, he smelled a putrid odor.

This is……

Mixed among the flesh and bones were tiny black stones.

Small stones, soaked in black, foul blood, that evoke a strong sense of unease simply by looking at them.

this thing……

Gao Hai reached out and grabbed the stone inside the lump of rotten flesh.

The next moment, he clearly sensed that he was seeing something, something that existed in the distant past, something that belonged to someone's memory.

Non-human beings do exist in this world.

The other person spoke in a low voice, his voice filled with obsessive fanaticism.

They do not decay, age, or change like humans; they maintain an eternal existence, forever great and forever powerful.

[The power of gods is such that only gods can match it, and only gods can truly describe such a being.]

But they no longer exist. Where did they go? No, no, no, there's no reason why only these remnants should remain. Yes, yes, I will find them. I will find what I yearn for. I want to, I want to become as great and eternal as they are!

The person stood in front of something and muttered to himself as he looked at it.

[Gentle slope...no, that's not a gentle slope, that's the mouth of the sacrifice]

[That idiot Austin has no idea what he's found; what I'm looking for is definitely here.]

No, this is completely different from what I expected. So that's how it is. The power of the gods has already left, and now only traces remain?

[It's just a trace... No, it's not time to give up yet. Even if it's just a trace, I should be able to gain something from it.]

However, my efforts alone are far from sufficient. Perhaps I need to find a way to attract others to join us, maybe that Mr. Bush…

The figure passed through the dark cave, pausing from time to time, glancing at the rocks, before finally disappearing into the darkness.

This is an opportunity for all of us.

The future of humanity will be created by us, and of course, the greatest nation in human history will also be created by us.

After all, this place possesses something that no one else has, doesn't it?

In the dimly lit little house, the man looked at the tall man sitting opposite him and smiled as he spoke. After a moment of contemplation, the man finally nodded slightly.

[Can this stuff really help us dominate? While the bullets with the added special powder have gained considerable lethality, this level of change is far from enough to justify our increased investment. This research institute has been running for so many years, and all this effort has been put in—is this all we've got?]

A man in military uniform, with many medals pinned to one side of his chest, tapped the table with his hand and spoke slowly and deliberately.

General, you know that scientific research results don't come out quickly.

The man had already put on a white researcher's uniform, and his tone was full of helplessness.

[Is that so? Our astronauts have already landed on the moon, and I don't think we've been preparing for more than a few years. But your place has been a full ten years in the making. We've studied this hellhole for so long, sacrificed so many lives, and all you've come up with is a weapon that can be used in individual combat situations. What's the point? We need something more strategic.]
