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

"Then, we will use this machine to completely merge her existence with mine."

As Gao Hai said this, he laughed, pointed to the machine he had created, and his voice carried a hint of confidence and a subtle expectation.

Goto Ichiri: "Huh?"

Chapter 143: The Desperate Struggler, the Merged One, and the Girl's Consciousness

After hearing what Takami said, Goto Ichiri's first reaction was that she might have misheard.

Mr. Gao Hai, he wants to merge with Kita?

Fusion?

What kind of fusion?

What kind of fusion are you referring to?

Could it be the kind of fusion that happens when you give birth to a baby?!

No, no, no, no, no! Wait a minute, calm down! Calm down!!!

Mr. Gao was probably just joking, right? Although we haven't spent much time together, we've chatted a few times. Based on our interactions, he seemed quite normal and didn't do anything frivolous.

Maybe it's just my imagination? Maybe I'm just wrong?

But he really does have several girlfriends who are high school girls, so maybe he really is that kind of person.

Unable to suppress it, Goto Ichiri imagined this scene in his mind.

Gao Hai made a "hehehe" sound and stepped into the dark dungeon, while Kita Ikuyo, bound by chains, lay helplessly on the ground, shedding humiliating tears after struggling in vain.

"If you absolutely must attack me, please, please spare Pochi-chan."

With teary eyes, Kita sobbed as he spoke.

"Hehehe, that depends on whether you can satisfy me, little sister."

Takahashi's response was filled with an evil laugh. Then, like Colonel Sanders, he casually tore off his clothes, revealing a perfect physique, and faced Kita, who was still struggling in vain.

Then, just like in those little book stories, the two of them go down first and then up, left and right, A, B, C, C, and finally they have to make a peace sign, stick out their tongues, and draw pink hearts in their eyes, and then, and then…

Goto Ichiri's brain is about to overload and burn out.

Her gaze towards Gao Hai had turned utterly terrified; the expression wasn't that of someone looking at a fellow criminal, but rather at a criminal inmate. Frankly, if it weren't for her age and physique, Gao Hai would have thought she was about to pull out an alarm.

So what on earth is this girl imagining? I have a feeling it's something that's really unfriendly to me.

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, what I have to say is that Kita's life has become deeply intertwined with the possessing entity. In other words, if that entity is to be freed, Kita Ikuyo will definitely die. Therefore, the key now is how to ensure that her life force can continue to be maintained after the entity is freed. This is why I'm using this fusion machine. I intend to use my own life force to maintain her existence. Of course, this is also because I need to fuse with the entity on her body. Among all the players, only my will can control it, and therefore, the only one who can fuse with Kita is me."

Gao Hai explained the situation in a serious tone, and in the process, he took out the blank teacher qualification certificate.

"Huh, huh... is that so?"

Goto Ichiri barely recovered from his mental lapse and looked at Takami stammering, still seemingly somewhat disbelieving.

"I'm serious, after all, I promised you I would save your friend, didn't I? I mean that promise, and I will do everything in my power to save your friend!"

I can still recall the scene at the end of the last playthrough, where this pink-haired, socially awkward girl, under the influence of the power of [Takamagahara], resolutely chose to commit suicide.

Although the girl herself doesn't remember these things, Gao Hai does, and he will never forget these experiences. Therefore, since he said he would save Kita Ikuyo, he will do everything in his power to do so.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Hai wrote words directly on this object of his obsession.

[Name: Gao Hai; Kita Ikuyo]

As the words were imprinted, some kind of force immediately linked Gao Hai with a red-haired girl in the deeper part of the instance.

Goto Ichiri sensed the change in Takami's aura.

it has started.

After confirming that Hayasaka and Miko had successfully started the observation process for Baydos, Takami did not hesitate and quickly began the next step of the process.

In reality, Gao Hai was gambling.

He was betting that the scum in Takamagahara were a bunch of useless people, betting that unless there was a truly deadly threat right in front of them and they were about to die, they wouldn't take immediate action and would get caught up in endless arguments and calculating their own gains and losses.

"Hmm... has it started...?"

Upon learning that Takami had begun her operation, Goto Ichiri immediately got into the zone, taking a sip of her obsession drink, which tasted like bitter coffee, to achieve absolute calm. She then took the kitten that Takami was holding, placed it on her shoulder, and picked up her own obsession guitar.

Gao Hai plunged one end of the fusion device into his arm, then took out the blood key and opened a door that he had taken apart and brought to him.

squeak-

As the door opened, a dim red light shone from inside, and Kita Ikuyo, who was sitting in the empty classroom, turned her head.

It seems I was lucky this time, succeeding on my first try.

Above ground, Xiong Mi, who had already taken control of the main campus broadcasting room, started the broadcast and began playing a text that Gao Hai had given her.

The text itself is nothing special; it's just a poem for recitation, and a rather unremarkable one at that, with very ordinary writing.

However, Xiong Mi was already able to discern some special information hidden within the poem.

Hmph, execute observation orders? Report any abnormal situations at any time? Is this a command specifically for certain people? If this is broadcast, it might activate some monsters that were not originally inactive, right? But whatever, since that kid is so confident, I'll just trust him this once.

Thinking this, Xiong Mi reached out and pressed the play button.

【Om—】

After the jarring noise subsided, clear voices reciting texts rang out throughout the school.

The students showed no reaction to the strange creatures coming and going, remaining as normal as ever.

But in a corner where no one was paying attention, in a place where no one was present, some blurry figures gradually emerged, looking around blankly, as if searching for something.

At the same time, cracks appeared on Gao Hai's head.

The power of the Undying Blessing was activated, forcibly retaining his life force within his body, thus preserving the mobility that should have been lost.

Because two people's names were written on the document, Kita Ikuyo did not stop attacking as she did in the previous game. Instead, she showed even stronger aggression, specifically targeting Takami, as if she wanted to eliminate some kind of outcast.

She took a step with a dazed expression, and in less than a second, she instantly moved in front of Gao Hai, and then Gao Hai's head split open.

Then, Gao Hai pounced on her and tackled the cute girl to the ground.

The other person's body was very cold.

Kita Ikuyo, who was already practically dead, felt no warmth whatsoever; instead, she was as cold as ice. Her skin wasn't soft either, but rather stiff, reminding Takami of zombies from old movies.

Click——click——

Tiny cracks have appeared in the ground.

Kita Ikuyo, being a Red Moon-level player, possessed immense physical strength, and even a slight movement of her body released at least several tons of force.

In order to suppress Kita, Takami had to activate the power of the berserk blessing, so the cracking of the ground became even more exaggerated, with spider web-like cracks extending in all directions. Kita Ikuyo, who was pressed down by Takami, had half of her body completely sunk into the concrete.

This struggle was much stronger than when Qianhua played Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf with him.

However, it wasn't to the point of losing control. Rather, the feeling was just right. Ah, I think I understand what this so-called "thug's excited punch" is all about now…

Gao Hai's other hand had already grabbed the plug of the flesh-fusion machine.

The girl pinned beneath him was still struggling desperately, but Gao Hai had her legs tightly bound and her wrists gripped. Only her slender waist could still manage a few weak struggles. Whether in terms of supernatural power or actual strength, Gao Hai had completely gained the upper hand and secured victory in this hand-to-hand combat.

If no other force intervenes, then the outcome is indeed predetermined.

hum-

A violent mental shock was released into this space in an instant.

A blurry shadow flashed across the sky, followed by an overwhelming sense of malice spreading outwards.

[Takamagahara] finally decided to take action, even though at first they were completely baffled by what was going on with Gao Hai's side, and didn't understand why these people suddenly started cracking the core obsessions and suddenly gathered all the key items. But as things progressed, they realized that if they ignored it and let Gao Hai and the others continue like this, then the core obsessions of Yeluoshan Middle School might actually be cracked.

Once the last instance area connected to [Takamagahara] is broken and destroyed, they will truly have no chance of returning to the human world. The crisis of life and death completely overshadowed all the intrigue and scheming. After realizing what was about to happen, these scumbags almost immediately went into a desperate phase, launching a direct attack on Takamagahara without any regard for the consequences.

However, Gao Hai's movements did not change at all.

Although the power of this mental shock was fierce, it was nothing to him. After all, he had already clearly grasped the limits of this kind of mental shock last week, experiencing it thoroughly with his own body and consciousness.

[Stop! You can't do that!!!]

It seemed as if someone could be heard roaring in fury.

A predatory force activated, attempting to pull Takami's thoughts into another dimension. In desperation, these beings seemed to intend to transport Takami's consciousness to Takamagahara, severing his consciousness to stop his actions.

The idea was good, but the outcome is already set in stone.

The police officer, whose face was blurred, appeared a short distance behind Gao Hai in the next moment.

After Takahiro gave the order, the officer drew his pistol and fired. The bullet struck the sharp machine plug in Takahiro's hand, generating tremendous force that caused it to pierce Kita Ikuyo's body.

At the same time, Goto Ichiri played the guitar and summoned another clone. Although her consciousness, like Takami's, was pulled towards the mental space created by [Takamagahara] by that force, after giving the order in advance, the clone she summoned would still faithfully complete the task and activate the flesh-and-blood fusion device to turn Takami and Kita Ikuyo into one being.

[Stop it, you damn bastard! Why can't I interfere with the minds of those two summoned creatures?!]

[How can it be like this again? He's gotten everything again, he's planned everything perfectly. What's wrong with this bastard?!]

[This can't be stopped, it's irreversible, the fusion is irreversible, what will happen if this continues? Sato, you're the research leader, tell me what this guy will become!]

A panicked voice rang in Gao Hai's ears.

The members of Takamagahara, who never expected things to develop to this point, were at a loss for what to do next and were in a state of complete panic.

They didn't even continue to pull on Takami and Goto Ichiri's consciousness, so the two quickly regained their senses and became clear-headed.

hum-

A small jade pendant lit up on Gao Hai's chest.

This is one of the obsession items Gao Hai obtained from the fanatics, which he calls the "Soul-Suppressing Token." In fact, this name is written directly on this green jade token, and it's even written in ancient Chinese characters.

The function of this object is simple: to stabilize the user's mental state. However, its stabilization directly targets all consciousness within the same body. Therefore, for those suffering from mental illness or with a tendency towards split personality, this object can directly turn them into truly split personalities. Conversely, when Kita Ikuyo and Takami merged, this jade pendant was also able to protect Kita Ikuyo's consciousness, preventing her self from being completely devoured by Takami.

To save Kita Ikuyo, this was the only solution Takami could think of at the moment. Well, while there might be a tendency to turn her into his electronic pet, at least the problem was temporarily solved. As for the physical issues, Takami believed that the player community definitely had a way to resolve them.

"call……"

Gao Hai took a deep breath.

I can already feel it.
