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

【Ugh ugh ugh ugh——】

The man's body flew backward at that moment, crashing to the ground and convulsing several times like a dog that had fallen to its death.

Gao Hai stretched his shoulders and limbs, then strode towards the man.

[You...uh...how can you move? You shouldn't be able to move in this place!? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!]

The man, whose facial injuries healed quickly and who was left with only some bloodstains, struggled to his feet. He looked at Gao Hai with disbelief and disbelief, unable to believe that such a thing could have happened.

"I don't know how it moved either. Why don't you analyze it for me, Master? Anyway, I have so much to say and so many things to analyze with you. Hehehe, how about it, are you ready?"

buzzing-

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

The smile on his face, which had reached the level of exaggerated facial expressions, looked even more terrifying than the blood-red chainsaw in his hand.

Is this...fear?

The man trembled slightly as he watched Gao Hai charging towards him, dragging a chainsaw.

[Impossible! This is impossible! You're nothing but trash living in a lowly world, you have no right to talk to me, the noble one! Ughh ...

The man's frantic screams had barely begun when the chainsaw pierced his chest, impaling him in the air before slamming him to the ground. The force was so great that the man bounced up briefly after hitting the ground before finally falling.

Amidst the flying blood, the man, driven mad by pain, screamed as he reached out and grabbed the chainsaw, managing to stop the crimson blade with his bare hand and forcibly pull himself off the chainsaw.

Don't be intimidated by this lowly creature. I won't be intimidated by such trash. My existence is nobler and far more powerful than his, so—

Bang!

Gao Hai, who had caught up, kicked out, knocking the man, who had no idea how to defend himself, to the ground. Then, the chainsaw slammed down again, tearing the man through the heart with a loud tearing sound.

buzzing-

The sharp saw blade spun continuously as Gao Hai pressed the man to the ground and tore open his flesh like a plow.

【Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! 】

The man's frantic screams were enough to illustrate his pain, but compared to the suffering of the innocent people he had secretly manipulated and harmed, and the torment Gao Hai himself had endured from this guy's targeting, he could only say that the screams were simply too pleasant to hear.

Boom!

With a muffled thud, the man broke free again, scrambling away from Gao Hai. He then tried to get up from the ground in a disheveled state, but because the pain in his body had not subsided, he rolled over again and stumbled to his feet once more.

Despite suffering injuries that would have been fatal to a human, the man was clearly not truly human; he had merely transformed into a human-understandable form of his kind. Therefore, the damage Gao Hai had inflicted on him had completely vanished without a trace, and even his clothes had been restored to their original state.

[How...how did you do that? Humans couldn't possibly have that kind of power! You shameful cheater, what cheating methods did you use?!]

The man was unaware that his voice was trembling, carrying a fear he himself was not aware of.

Gao Hai simply smiled and continued walking forward.

[Don't come any closer! You piece of trash, don't come any closer, you damn cheating bastard!]

He shouted as he backed away, trying to distance himself from Gao Hai.

As Gao Hai wielded the blood saw, his smile grew even brighter and brighter. He then strode after the man in front of him and caught up with him in a few strides.

"How did I do it? Why don't you use your shrunken brain to think about it?"

buzzing-

The saw blade was swung, but the man dodged it by sidestepping.

Realizing that the situation was completely out of control, the man who was the KP finally stopped just talking and started to fight back, trying to launch an attack on Gao Hai while dodging the attacks.

He threw a powerful punch.

However, his reach wasn't long enough; Gao Hai, wielding a chainsaw, was quite a distance away from him and couldn't hit him.

when!

Then Gao Hai turned the chainsaw sideways and smashed it directly into his face, knocking the man to the ground again.

buzzing-

In the next bloody execution, the saw blade severed the man's hands and feet on the spot, and then the newly grown hands and feet were immediately severed again.

【Ughhhhhh, stop!】

The man screamed in agony, desperately trying to deflect the saw blade and throw a punch at Gao Hai, only to be kicked in the throat and knocked to the ground again. Then, Gao Hai, with his foot on the man's chest, shoved the saw blade directly into the man's face.

buzzing-

The crimson color instantly covered everything. The screams of the man whose head was being repeatedly slashed reminded Gao Hai of animals in a slaughterhouse, but he felt no sympathy. He simply pressed down hard on the chainsaw in his hand, cleaving the man vertically from head to toe.

Uh... Ahhh... Ah...

The intense pain caused the man's screams to become distorted.

The body recovered again.

But the pain did not disappear immediately, so the man could not stand up right away and could only crawl on the ground with difficulty, trying to get away from Gao Hai, who looked like a ferocious god of death at this moment.

No…this shouldn’t be happening. I am…I am a superior being. How could I be harmed by trash like you? Something…something must have gone wrong…

He couldn't understand why he was hurt by Gao Hai, why he couldn't use his own power to resolve the situation, why he had to endure these attacks and feel such intense pain.

The neural signals of such a lower being should not be able to affect him. But why... his senses seem to be forcibly synchronized with those of a human, forcibly given the ability to feel the pain of being sawed apart alive?

This is abnormal, completely abnormal.

tread!

The man could no longer crawl.

Because Gao Hai stepped forward and then stepped on him again, this time stomping on his head.

“You know what? I’m so glad, so glad that you’re not an ordinary human being, that you can keep healing yourself after being traumatized, instead of just dying after being chopped a couple of times.”

Gao Hai, carrying the blood saw in one hand, smiled, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Because that way, things won't end too quickly. The suffering you've endured won't end so easily, you bastard."

buzz-

The blood-red chainsaw was raised high once again.

The man, his eyes wide open, experienced a powerful feeling of fear at that moment.

[No...no...wait a minute, please, no...uhhhhh!]

hum-

[Ohhhhhhh! Stop it! Stop it! Ahhhhhh!]

buzz-

[No! No! No! Please—please—please have mercy! Please ...

buzzing-

Raise the chainsaw, then swing it down.

Lift the chainsaw again and swing it down forcefully.

He repeatedly lifted the chainsaw and then ripped it apart as if he were smashing it down.

Under the continuous blows, the man was almost cut into a pulp, but as soon as the attack stopped for a moment, he could immediately return to his original state, without any injuries.

All that remains is the pain itself.

No...don't...

Amidst the weak groans, Gao Hai reached out and grabbed the man by the collar, lifting him up. Then, he pressed his fingers against the man's face, forcefully piercing it, before violently throwing him away and slamming him against the wall not far away.

The groaning man had barely gotten up when Gao Hai grabbed him by the hair and slammed him against the wall again, smashing his head open with a single blow. Then, grabbing his collar, Gao Hai slammed his head down again the instant it regenerated, repeating this more than ten times, like smashing an egg.

This was a bloody and torturous trial.

There were no proper procedures, no human compassion, and no fair process involved. But at this moment, such things are unnecessary, aren't they?

This man, who was not an ordinary human and could not die easily, was tortured by Gao Hai for a long time, so long that he completely broke down, so long that he almost lost the strength to howl, could no longer resist, could no longer make any struggle, and could only lie on the ground like a dead dog, occasionally twitching to prove that he was not dead.

Only then did Gao Hai finally stop and throw the guy away like trash.

"call……"

Gao Hai slowly exhaled, shook the blood off his hands, and looked around at the still, frozen dungeon world, as if time had been paused.

"Hey, you've been watching the show for so long, it's time to come out, isn't it?"

Gao Hai asked in a cold tone, his voice devoid of any emotion.

[That's quite a grueling ordeal! Watching you work through it, it seems you drew inspiration from some action games.]

Then, a figure wearing a black top hat and a suit, but without a human body, appearing as if it were a transparent person wearing clothes, suddenly appeared beside Gao Hai.

Please address me as "The Faceless One." For someone like me who doesn't need a name, I think it's a very distinctive way to address me. And, I am truly delighted to meet and exchange ideas with you, Mr. Gao Hai. However, it is regrettable that I wish our first formal exchange hadn't taken place at the scene of such a horrific scandal, but rather in a more normal setting.

The figure in the black top hat, who called himself the Faceless One, respectfully removed his hat, bowed, and then put his hat back on.

"Was it because of something you did that I was able to regain consciousness and mobility in this place and beat him up?"

Gao Hai's tone remained unchanged; he simply looked at this strange fellow and spoke calmly.

Not entirely. We did pull some strings to ensure that guy couldn't fight back too hard when you disciplined him. However, your freedom to move around here isn't entirely due to us, but rather to yourself, or rather, to this gift you received.

The Faceless One extended his gloved finger and pointed in the direction of the broken black watch worn by Gao Hai.

So, KP was indeed able to find this thing?

Gao Hai wasn't surprised, but he suddenly realized that the position of the Faceless One's finger didn't seem to perfectly correspond to the position of the watch. It seemed he... couldn't see the watch, but could only deduce its location by observing it from the side?

Gao Hai noticed this detail and frowned slightly.

"So you guys really did step in and help me control that trash writer. I thought you KPs were all on the same page and got along pretty well. What, are you in some kind of competition? Or did he break some rules?"

Without revealing any emotional flaws, Gao Hai crossed his arms and stared at the so-called "Faceless Man" as he continued to ask questions.

He vaguely sensed a subtle familiarity from this Keeper of the Hollow, as if he had seen this guy somewhere before. Hmm... it shouldn't be a figment of his imagination. Could this guy be the Keeper of the Red Nut and the Gray Hole? It seems that only that Keeper of the Hollow has ever interacted with me outside of this illusion, even though he used Susan's body as a medium. But it's definitely only that guy who might have left some impression on me.

[Of course, of course, Mr. Gao, you're so smart, you must understand perfectly well. Rules are very important, regulations are extremely important. Without rules, where would the strange tales come from? We are the Keepers, responsible for compiling stories and creating scenes for players like you to face the challenges. In human terms, we're like the stagehands; we provide the stage for the actors' performances. Therefore, we also have rules to follow, and unfortunately, the "writer" made a fundamental mistake in this matter.]

As the Faceless One spoke, he turned to face the man lying on the ground, the man who still couldn't get up, the man known as the writer.
