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

After cursing the word "writer" a few times in his mind, Gao Hai continued to listen to Goto Ichiri speak with an unchanged expression on his face.

Xiong Mi, who was standing outside, had already smoked his fifth cigarette.

Chika and Miko are still sleeping peacefully, and it looks like they won't wake up for a while.

There's still no progress on Zhenfei's side through the mental link, but at least they haven't been attacked by anything yet, so for now, they're safe.

"..."

After telling the story of Kita Ikuyo's disappearance and how he and Aoyama Nanami returned to the real world, Goto Ichiri fell silent and stopped talking, his body shrinking slightly.

Recalling her painful past experiences was obviously quite distressing for the girl. In fact, Gao Hai had already noticed a few glistening tears in Xiao Boqi's eyes, clearly indicating that she was trying her best to hold back her tears.

Such a pitiful little girl, forced to struggle to survive in the dungeon. Sigh, well, my situation isn't much better. I'd better think about what to do next.

Suppressing the slight irritation rising in his heart, Gao Hai tried to analyze Kita Yukiyo's current situation.

"Um, you...you, can you really rescue her?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Boqi couldn't help but speak again, looking at Gao Hai with a mixture of hope and fear.

For the girl, she truly couldn't think of any way to save her friend who was possessed by the obsession of the Red Moon-level core. In fact, in the eyes of any player, Kita Ikuyo's situation was already enough to be judged as a complete death, with no possibility of salvation. If it weren't for Takami's appearance, to be honest, Goto Ichiri herself would have more or less given up on this hope, no longer daring to continue to expect it.

But what if it were actually possible to do that?

If it's this "miracle"...

"Well, I will."

Gao Hai nodded slightly, his voice sounding very calm, as if it were just a trivial matter.

"R-really, really?"

Goto Ichiri subconsciously moved a little closer to Takami and asked again in a low voice.

"Of course it's true, but I can't do it alone. I need your help. I need you to assist me in this action."

Gao Hai continued nodding, his eyes fixed on Goto Ichiri's changing expressions.

"Then, what do I need to do?"

The girl, who was getting a little anxious, unconsciously raised her voice. However, she then noticed that Chika, who was sleeping next to Gao Hai, unconsciously pursed her lips, shifted her body, and quickly covered her mouth to quiet down.

As they talked, they got a little excited and almost forgot that there were other people around.

Realizing she had lost her composure, Goto Ichiri looked quite embarrassed. She had already subconsciously started imagining in her mind that she would be sentenced to death for speaking too loudly.

"Aww... Ahh... Ramen... So delicious..."

Chika, who was sleeping soundly, mumbled incoherently in her sleep, completely sprawling on Takahashi's body.

"Woo..."

Seeing that Zi wasn't sleeping soundly, she seemed to be having a nightmare, dreaming of something unpleasant. As a result, her little hand unconsciously gripped Gao Hai's wrist tightly.

As for Gao Hai, he didn't say anything more, but just smiled at Yili again.

The reason for choosing to communicate with this shy girl was not only to confirm whether there were any omissions in the information about Kita Ikuyo, but also mainly to reassure this important combatant.

After all, ever since Kita Ikuyo appeared, Goto Ichiri's emotions had clearly become unstable. In this situation, it's essential to have a careful conversation with her to ensure that she doesn't do anything irrational due to the stimulation, and to stabilize her mental state.

Of course, Gao Hai didn't deny that he also wanted to increase his familiarity with Ichiri, ensuring that the girl would trust him more during their time together, thus guaranteeing a smoother collaboration. As for affection levels, unless it's a yandere, the more the better, right?

However, Gao Hai didn't realize that it was because he didn't immediately answer Yili's question about "what needs to be done" that the other person's inner monologue had already started to run wild.

Mr. Gao, you wouldn't be asking me to do *that* kind of thing, would you?

With his knowledge base now fully developed, young Pochi couldn't help but think to himself.

Among all the speculations and rumors about Takami himself, the fact that he is a "JK (high school girl) enthusiast" is widely acknowledged by many players. After all, it is an undeniable fact that he dated two JK beauties, Shijou Maki and Fujiwara Chika. And if this could be explained by the idea of ​​him being kept by wealthy women, then it is impossible for him to be interested in Yotsuya Miko, an ordinary JK beauty who is already very close to Takami. Therefore, players firmly believe that Takami is a perverted devil who only likes girls in the JK age group.

Goto Ichiri herself, who knows these speculations, is a genuine active high school girl.

At this moment, with this man already having women on both sides, does he still want me to go up and do something too?

Scenes began to appear in Ichiri Goto's mind.

[Hahaha, take everything off and let me properly appreciate your body!]

In the girl's mind, Gao Hai casually tore open his shirt, tied a bow tie around his neck, and then charged at her, laughing wildly.

【Huh? Huh? I'm sorry, but I'm not ready yet. Could you... wait a little while longer...?】

Like a kitten, it huddled on the ground, letting out a mournful cry, and shrank towards the corner under Gao Hai's enormous shadow.

Oh, really? Have you forgotten your best friend? Do you still want to save her? Just listen to me obediently, and only the person you care about can be saved.

But Gao Hai, like a demon king, had already stepped forward, grinning at her with a villainous smile.

【Kita-kun... Waaah, I... I understand, please be gentle...】

The girl closed her eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

【So let's get started!】

So Gao Hai raised his hands, stretched out his firm pectoral and abdominal muscles, and exciting background music began to play around him.

【Hey hey hey... Hey hey hey hey?!】

Against the backdrop of energetic rock music, Goto Ichiri watched as Takami approached him step by step, while the rest of the band members provided accompaniment for the scene from a short distance away.

Come on, I've prepared several positions.

[There are also hundreds or thousands of different styles and routines for you to choose from]

[And there's a secret weapon to surprise you! Come on, let's try them one by one, darling!]

Amidst the bizarre and indescribable visuals and awe-inspiring music, Goto Ichiri could only helplessly reach out into the distance before being dragged into the darkness.

"No! Kita! Nanami! Help me!"

In the end, only her screams were drowned out by the darkness. Then the scene shifted to many years later, and she had given birth to more than ten children. She sat by the window with her big belly, staring blankly at the sky, while Gao Hai himself was dancing a folk dance behind her.

Is this really how it's going to unfold?!

Goto Ichiri was practically in a state of extreme fear and excitement, and was almost completely out of control.

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, I think you're probably thinking about something strange, right? Let me make it clear beforehand that I don't intend for you to do anything strange right now. I just hope that you can play a good role in the upcoming operation so that we can work together to overcome the difficulties."

Seeing the pink-haired girl's constantly changing expressions, Gao Hai instinctively sensed that his reputation was in jeopardy, so he quickly spoke up.

"Huh? Huh? If possible, at least don't lock me in a cage..."

However, it seemed that Goto Ichiri's inner monologue was not going to end so easily. Takami was not even sure if she was talking to herself or to someone she was imagining.

It's not that it's incomprehensible that even someone like Aoyama Nanami, who is considered to have a stable style, would let this child act alone. She really seems to be worse off when she's in a group than when she's solo.

Gao Hai could only sigh inwardly, "No wonder she's a two-dimensional heroine," and didn't know what else to say about this eccentric girl.

squeak-

The swimming pool door was gently pushed open.

Just moments before, Goto Ichiri was lost in her own thoughts, then suddenly turned around, her mind instantly focusing, and the guitar she was obsessed with appeared in her hand in the blink of an eye.

Gao Hai reacted a little slower, but he turned around in less than a breath and immediately reached out to pat Chika and Miko on the head to wake them up.

"Get up, time for work."

Outside the door stood Xiong Mi, a cigarette dangling from her lips, smoke drifting from her mouth as she spoke.

Without hesitation, Goto Ichiri stood up with his guitar in hand and quickly walked to Xiongmi's side to look outside.

Chika rubbed her eyes and sat up. Takahashi was about to get up as well, but then he felt Miko's body fall on him, showing no signs of waking up.

Was she sleeping too soundly? No, that's not right. Even if she were sleeping soundly, she wouldn't react like this. Besides, because Miko can see all sorts of things both inside and outside the instance, she has become very easy to wake up. It's impossible for her to be completely asleep.

Sensing something was wrong, Gao Hai used a mental link to signal Chika to go check on the situation at the entrance of the swimming pool, while he held Miko and let her lie on her back on his lap, carefully observing her condition.

You could tell he was in a lot of pain, and his body was twisting slightly, as if he was being restrained by something.

{See you, son!}

Gao Hai shouted to the girl through the mental link.

Although this shout made no sound in the real world, to someone with a mental link, the sound was no less than turning up the volume of Bury the Light to the maximum volume that could damage the hearing of a sleeping person's headphones. Unless they were completely asleep, they should have woken up no matter what.

However, the girl in Gao Hai's arms still did not wake up.

Although her face showed signs of pain, and although her body reactions indicated that she could hear the sound, she still couldn't regain consciousness.

Then, Gao Hai heard Jianzi's voice ring out in the mental link.

{Miss Hayasaka, um, where...are we going next?}

Chapter 70: The Girl Deep Within [Baidos] and the Ghostly Possession

Where... is this?

Consciousness gradually cleared from the haze.

I felt an intense, icy touch that seeped into my skin and flesh, as if piercing my very bones.

The girl opened her eyes, only to find complete darkness.

The nasal cavity smelled a cold, damp, and somewhat stale odor.

My body was unable to move; it was as if something had enveloped my entire body, binding and fixing me firmly in a certain position.

call……

With heavy breathing, Miko felt something press against her cheek, completely sealing off her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. It enveloped her head.

Two tubes were inserted into her nasal cavity to ensure she could continue breathing. There was also a tube in her mouth, directly connected to her esophagus, which caused a strong foreign body sensation in Miko's throat, almost making her vomit immediately. But the girl couldn't act on this thought; her throat and jaw muscles seemed to have atrophied and degenerated, and she couldn't even swallow. It was then that she realized her breathing was actually being pumped in and out through the machine connected to the nasal tubes, and she had essentially lost the ability to breathe independently.

call……

How is this going?

A wave of dizziness washed over her, and as Jianzi realized her current situation, her consciousness began to blur again, as if she were being pulled away from this place by something.

This is not Yelu Mountain Middle School.
