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

Ha, is that all you've got?

So Gao Hai used his remaining eye to raise an eyebrow and return that gaze with a mocking look.

Then, he took off his rescue team badge and put it on the crazed monster.

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Moment of Breaking the Deadly Trap and Those Who Ventured into the Chaotic Land

As an object of obsession, the rescue team badge should have disappeared along with the Shirakawa Apartment after it was breached and collapsed, and should have vanished as the rescue team itself was freed.

However, with Lin Xusheng's blessing, this object of obsession was preserved. Using a bug exploited by Lao Guo, who had been transformed by the object, they forcibly retained it, turning this originally extremely dangerous object into a nearly harmless and powerful piece of equipment. Furthermore, because the object had effectively lost its original source, it seemed to undergo some kind of change. As a result, in the second instance, Gao Hai successfully used this object to contain Howard's obsession, and then obtained remnants of Hirano Sosuke's obsession at Fujika Middle School, making the object increasingly powerful.

Now, it's hard to say exactly what level this obsession item, which was originally only at the Twilight level, is. However, it's certain that even in a Crimson Moon level dungeon, it would be difficult to suppress. If the rescue team badge from the Fujika Middle School dungeon could be sealed by Hirano Sousuke with a single shot due to insufficient strength, then now that it has absorbed the core obsession remnants of a Crimson Moon level, even Hachiya Chiyo herself couldn't hold it down.

As for Akira Toyama, the player who was manipulated by the out-of-control obsession, he was influenced by the power of multiple obsessions within his body. These obsessions regained balance after going out of control, which is why this man became what he is today.

So Gao Hai pinned the rescue team badge on the man's body. He wanted to introduce a new variable into the man's balance and use a powerful enough object of obsession to forcefully break the man's current state.

A damp rescue team uniform appeared the next moment and was put directly on Akira Toyama's body.

After falling into a state of chaos, the player was no longer able to control the power of the object of obsession on his own. Therefore, the rescue team badge was put on and immediately entered a fully activated phase, releasing power that directly enveloped the man.

Uh... Ohhhhhh—

With a roar, the man's body twisted violently at that moment, and the sound of flesh and bone tearing and healing could be heard from his body. He slammed hard against the wall of the corridor, releasing his control over Gao Hai.

The next second, Gao Hai leaped up, using his only remaining hand to hold the medicine bottle and feed himself two pills, allowing his torn body to heal rapidly in that instant. Without a second's hesitation, he charged directly at Yuan Shanming, first splattering the man's face with gushing blood, then reaching out to grab the chainsaw from his hand.

【Ugh ugh ugh ahh——】

Amidst painful screams, Toyama Akira slammed into the wall once more, while Takami, who was lying on top of him, also slammed into the wall, nearly breaking all his ribs in the force of the impact.

"cough!"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Gao Hai's eyes widened as he clung desperately to the man's body. His newly grown arm reached out and grabbed the handle of the chainsaw. Then, with his other hand, he gripped a scalpel and plunged it into Toyama Akira's finger, severing it.

【Uh oh oh oh oh——】

Amidst heart-wrenching screams, this enormous creature continued to rampage through the corridor.

Gao Hai was like a kite being tossed around, swaying left and right, constantly rubbing against the walls and ceiling in various ways, and could only grit his teeth and persevere.

Grip the scalpel tightly and slash down once more.

With a flash of cold light, the blade pierced through the flesh, but got stuck on the bone before finally severing the finger with difficulty.

As a Twilight-level artifact, this sword was weakened to some extent because it was too close to a Crimson Moon-level artifact. In addition, Akira Toyama's body was already affected by the artifact, so it was already very difficult for him to cut off just two fingers.

Without hesitation, Gao Hai flicked his finger, and the blood-stained scalpel disappeared, replaced by a second, clean scalpel.

The sounds of babies crying and laughing still lingered in the air.

Every now and then, those things would reach out and tear a piece of flesh off Gao Hai's body.

But he couldn't care less about that now. He focused all his attention on swinging his knife again in the gaps between being swung around and slammed to the ground, and chopped off another finger.

[Uh...uh...ahhhhh...]

With only two fingers left to grip the chainsaw, Akira Toyama's hand began to tremble. His frantic movements slowed down, and his roars were tinged with confusion.

But it was at this moment that Gao Hai noticed that the first finger he had just cut off was almost completely healed and was about to grip the chainsaw again.

It healed really quickly, but that's enough!

Reaching out, taking advantage of the fact that his hand was smaller than the little giant's, Gao Hai forcibly stuffed his hand into Yuanshan Ming's palm and grabbed the handle of the chainsaw.

A chilling aura and a brutal, murderous urge surged violently within Gao Hai, stimulating his nerves. It was as if a madman was shouting and screaming in his mind, forcibly instilling an absolute, destructive madness into Gao Hai's consciousness.

This extremely intense mental shock was accompanied by very severe physical reactions. For a moment, Gao Hai even felt the intense pain of being placed on a chopping board and torn to pieces with a chainsaw.

Are you wailing and lamenting for your whole family here?

With a blank expression, Gao Hai cursed and snatched the chainsaw from Toyama Akira's hands.

The infant corpse, which had been wailing and laughing, fell silent at this moment, sinking into the blood and disappearing.

The singing phantoms became transparent, dimmed, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Finally, even the spreading blood dried up and dissipated, leaving no trace. The orphanage returned to its original state, back to its dilapidated state at the beginning... No, not at all. Gao Hai was certain that although it appeared to have returned to normal on the surface, something had been permanently destroyed, and the abnormality caused by this destruction was spreading unseen by him.

Buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz

The massive, blood-red chainsaw roared in Gao Hai's hands.

The frantic howling continued unabated.

Gao Hai could sense that this extremely powerful Crimson Moon-level artifact was constantly trying to break free from his control, wanting to summon blood and madness into this instance once again.

But it couldn't break free.

"Ha, is this all you've got? You lowlife?"

Boom!

One end of the chainsaw slammed heavily onto the ground.

Gao Hai held the heavy chainsaw, which was already 1.5 meters long, in one hand, and with the other hand he raised the middle finger to the air.

He was in bad shape, covered in blood and with ripped wounds everywhere. He could barely stand and could only hold the chainsaw handle with one hand.

But he still sneered, his face still full of mockery. He knew that the bastard who wanted him dead could see what he was doing—or rather, insulting dogs. In short, this clearly ingeniously designed deadly trap was finally completely broken by Gao Hai at this moment. Although the subsequent crisis was not completely resolved, and there were still no signs of success.

Uh...uh...um..."

Akira Toyama, lying on the ground, had his severed finger completely healed.

The man's body slowly shrank, from more than two meters to about 1.75-1.76 meters before stopping. The blood on his body and the hood disappeared, revealing an extremely decadent face, like a Jew who had just walked out of Auschwitz, with sunken eyes and a numb face that seemed to have necrotic nerves.

He lay motionless on the ground, looking like a corpse; he was completely useless.

But Gao Hai knew that this player had regained his senses and had come to his senses.

Because when Gao Hai grabbed the chainsaw, at the same moment, the other party voluntarily let go of the chainsaw.

"Can you still move?"

After giving himself another pill to help his injuries heal, Gao Hai asked Yuan Shanming, who was lying on the ground.

“…Um…w…I…”

The man opened his mouth and tried several times, but he still couldn't speak, only making indistinct sounds.

Although his injuries had completely healed, the man couldn't even stand up, nor could he control his limbs freely; he could only tremble on the ground for a while.

Months of being a puppet, coupled with the mental torment inflicted by the Red Moon-level obsession, meant that even with Gao Hai's use of surging blood to repair Touyama Akira's spirit, it was impossible to fully restore the man's health in a short time. His trauma was too deep; his personality and self were nearly shattered, and he was also cursed by the obsession. Whether he could truly recover was highly uncertain.

Even so, Akira Toyama understood that Takami had saved his life, and vaguely sensed that something bad was about to happen.

“g…gu…gei…”

Struggling, the man tore off the rescue team badge and handed it back to Gao Hai with trembling fingers.

Then, with all his might, Toyama Akira rolled over, mouth agape, and barely managed to raise his arm to pat his stomach. He looked like a fool, drool and snot dripping from his nose, yet his eyes held a hint of determination amidst the confusion.

So Gao Hai used a scalpel to cut open the man's abdomen and dug out a pen and a measuring tape.

These two objects of obsession... have returned to normal?!

Gao Hai wasn't shocked that the two obsessions were hidden inside the man's body. What shocked him was that, after the Blood Saw's rampage was broken, this Red Moon-level player, who had been tortured to the point of near death, was able to use the little willpower he had regained from the surging blood to directly suppress the remaining two out-of-control obsessions. Even though such mental strength was still somewhat inferior to Gao Hai's, he had to admit he admired it.

"Go...q...go ahead..."

The man, who showed no sign of pain despite being disemboweled, finally uttered a few indistinct words, then closed his eyes and drifted into unconsciousness.

As Gao Hai stood up holding these two objects of obsession, he vaguely sensed something like someone was acting furiously, but when he tried to perceive it carefully, he couldn't find anything.

Two objects of obsession, one of which is a blood-stained measuring tape.

This is a Dark Night-level spatial artifact. Its function is simple: lock onto a target, ensuring unobstructed vision, and then adjust the distance between you and the target by pulling a measuring tape, allowing you to approach instantly or move infinitely away. However, with continued use, this artifact will continuously cause physical damage, creating blade-like cuts on the body that become increasingly severe with each wound until the wielder is completely killed.

nice one.

Gao Hai put away the object of his obsession. He had been tormented by Toyama Akira for so long and then saved his life, so there was nothing wrong with taking these things. Besides, Toyama Akira himself clearly intended to give these things to him.

The second object of my obsession is a small pencil, and this object is... Red Moon level.

This is an intelligence-related artifact. Users can use it after coming into contact with a strange power to draw its true appearance or anything related to that strange entity based on the eerie aura they encounter. This pen can draw on any surface; the deeper the strange power the user is exposed to, the more complete the drawing will be, and it can even directly reveal extremely important clues.

As a side effect of this obsessive object, the pen can only be drawn with the blood of its holder, thus each drawing brings severe pain and torment. Furthermore, when drawing something bizarre, the pen's power causes the user to constantly feel the negative power of the bizarre itself, passively experiencing the despair and pain of the person before their death, feeling the most profound negative power of the person in life, and constantly distorting their own personality. It is an obsessive object that consumes an extremely terrifying amount of mental energy.

"This thing..."

Gao Hai finally understood why he felt someone was furious.

"Ha... Haha, so you personally delivered it to me?"

Gao Hai, who had already begun to laugh loudly, slammed the pen against the wall the next second.

The pain of having his blood drawn did not change his expression in the slightest.

He was overwhelmed by intense negative emotions: loneliness, pain, despair, and the unfulfilled longing all poured back into his mind.

So Gao Hai drew a very complete portrait of Chiyo Hachiya on the wall and deeply understood the emotional experiences the girl had before her death, obtaining a clue that would not be possible even under normal circumstances after going through hardships.

You can feel the collapse spreading little by little within this orphanage.

Time was running out, so Gao Hai could only leave the completely unconscious and immobile Toyama Akira here and quicken his pace.

While Gao Hai finally resolved the crisis on one side, on the other side, in a teaching building filled with black silt, two half-grown puppies darted through the mud, eventually reaching a door and then the door to the storage room.

Yes, this is a safe place.

Based on his remaining memories, Hayasaka found the location of the storage room while walking, and then discovered the ventilation ducts inside.

For the two puppies, the pipe was perfectly large enough for them to walk in side by side.

Kaguya, the husky that followed behind, was panting heavily, starting to overheat from running. Kaguya was quite surprised that she and Hayasaka had been able to pass through the military camp so smoothly, but Hayasaka was almost constantly running, so she could only hurry up and catch up.

Neither she nor Hayasaka noticed that the corrosive power that originally existed in the black school building corridor had been significantly weakened.

Moreover, that's not all. The headless soldiers in the inner area of ​​Zaoli Elementary School had basically stopped moving and turned into wooden stakes. The activity of the soldiers with heads had also decreased significantly. That's why the two dogs were able to pass through safely without attracting the attention of the sentry tower that was supposed to kill all living things.

Something is being destroyed.

Some external forces have engaged in illegal activities. After making a series of inappropriate modifications, they have begun to generate extremely negative feedback, which has gradually spread throughout the instance.
