Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

"roll!"

Faced with Hashimoto Ayaka's shocked and angry questioning, Amamiya Rin gave only one word in response.

The powerful will transformed into weapons of war, hurtling towards the four women along the [Kara].

Almost simultaneously, the four women were struck as if by lightning, bouncing away from Yu Gonglin's bedside and staggering backward.

So weak and panicked were they staggered and nearly tripped over each other.

They didn't even dare to look at Yu Gonglin again, as if he wasn't a person, but a terrifying abyss that would devour them.

The door closed, separating the inside from the outside.

Leaning against the cold corridor wall, the four women were frighteningly pale. They were breathing heavily, their faces as white as paper, as if they had just run a marathon of several dozen kilometers.

In their shared consciousness, fragments of those sixty days of nightmares continue to flash back, bringing waves of physical nausea and fear.

(...No...four people...not enough...)

(His will is above ours...)

(Unable to assimilate...)

(We must...increase...our...)

Chaotic thoughts swirled within their shared mind, eventually converging into an urgent command—a new body was needed!

It must be a woman's body!

The male and female brains are structured differently, making it impossible for them to assimilate quickly. Instead, due to the difference in willpower, they may be negatively influenced.

They need more female bodies to strengthen their collective consciousness, so that they can assimilate Amamiya Rin's mind.

Almost simultaneously, four pairs of slightly vacant eyes turned to the ward next door.

There lived a girl named Yukiko Mio.

The ward was silent, save for the rhythmic ticking of the medical equipment and the steady breathing of the young girl. Under the influence of the medication, Yukiko Mitsuo slept soundly, completely unaware of the impending crisis.

The four people, including Hashimoto Ayaka, who had sneaked into the ward, gathered around the bed and looked down at the sleeping girl.

Just as they had done to Amamiya Rin before, they slightly opened their mouths.

Dozens of wet, slender tentacles silently emerged, wriggling slightly in the air and shimmering with a wet, glistening light.

Their target is the girl's unconsciously slightly parted lips.

The tentacles burrowed precisely into the flesh, their needle-like tips easily finding the soft tissue deep within the palate and throat, gently piercing it, and connecting with Yukiko Mio's cranial nerves.

As she slept, Yukiko Mio's brows furrowed slightly, and she let out a whimper that sounded like a whisper. Her body tensed up unconsciously for a moment before slowly relaxing.

The process was eerily quiet.

After a while, the tentacles connecting the five cherry-like mouths gradually dissolved into the air.

It didn't disappear, but rather vanished, or rather, it disappeared into a subspace parallel to reality.

Otherwise, you could just take a scalpel and cut off all the tentacles.

Having completed the connection with [Kara], the four women relaxed their tense bodies.

The next moment, the fatigue accumulated over the past sixty days and the drowsiness of Yukiko Mitsuki swept over them, and the four of them collapsed like puppets with broken strings, falling into a deep sleep beside Yukiko Mitsuki's bed.

Inside the ward, only five even breathing sounds remained.

In the next ward, probably due to the delay caused by the increased distance, it took Amamiya Rin ten seconds before she felt the fatigue and drowsiness, as well as a newfound consciousness different from Hashimoto Ayaka's.

"Damn! It hasn't even been a minute, and someone else has been murdered?"

Amamiya Rin's eyelids twitched, and her expression turned extremely ugly.

He can withstand the assimilation of four people, and he can withstand the assimilation of five people, so what about forty people? What about fifty people?

And there's also [Long Dream]!

Amamiya Rin also only just discovered it.

The long dream world was not his cheat code at all!

It's a curse, a curse originating from Junji Ito's worldview!

Junji Ito's manga "Long Dream" is a work that has been adapted into anime and film.

The protagonist suffers from a special curse: whenever he falls asleep, he is plunged into a lucid nightmare, and he can clearly feel every minute and every second of the nightmare.

Furthermore, the duration of nightmares continues to lengthen, and the body undergoes changes upon waking due to the overwhelming amount of memories the brain cannot handle.

In the final days, after a thousand-year dream, the protagonist wakes up aged and looks like Tengen from Jujutsu Kaisen.

On the last day, the body weathered into sand, and the spirit entered the eternal dream world.

[Those who sleep eternally are not the dead; in the strange eternity, even death vanishes.]

It was only after remembering the origin of the dream that Amamiya Rin truly understood the essence of the dream.

This isn't some kind of cheat code; it's a malicious curse! A curse that applies equally to everyone!

Originally, he was the one dreaming, and he was also the one who had to bear the malice of the nightmare. However, Hashimoto Ayaka also entered his nightmare through [Kara] and became the target of the nightmare. The focus of the nightmare was dispersed, which allowed him to gain a certain degree of freedom.

However, Amamiya Rin was not happy.

Even if you can control your body during a nightmare, prolonged dreaming can still affect your brain.

The protagonist of the comic only lasted for about three months before his body turned to ashes.

What can he do?

Furthermore, the environment of nightmares is uncontrollable. If every dream is like today's "Goblin's Nest," then using the time in dreams for learning is not stable.

"What a tragedy!"

Reincarnated into a parallel world, he was immediately afflicted with two deadly and unsolvable curses. Is there anyone more unlucky than him?

Overwhelmed by a relentless wave of fatigue and drowsiness, Amamiya Rin sighed and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, the early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, waking Amamiya Rin from her reverie.

Looking at the pale hospital room, feeling the thoughts flowing into her brain, memories of last night surged into her mind, and Yu Gonglin let out a weak sigh.

Just then, his hospital room door was pushed open, and a nurse came in carrying breakfast.

Noticing that Amamiya Rin's complexion was off, the nurse asked with concern, "Good morning, Mr. Amamiya. How did you sleep last night? You look even worse than yesterday..."

Amamiya Rin sighed, "I had another nightmare. Nurse, after breakfast, could you please ask Dr. Kuroda to come over? I have some questions I'd like to ask."

Upon hearing this, the nurse nodded and, after feeding breakfast to Amamiya Rin, immediately went to bring Dr. Kuroda over.

Dr. Kuroda entered the room with a gentle smile and asked Amamiya Rin with concern, "Amamiya-kun, you called me? Is there something wrong with your health, or do you have questions about the recovery plan?"

Amamiya Rin didn't answer immediately. He carefully chose his words, looking directly at Dr. Kuroda: "Dr. Kuroda, I had another very long dream last night. It was terrifyingly vivid, and it felt like it lasted for an abnormally long time. When I woke up, the exhaustion felt as if that long period of time had actually passed, and I could remember every single thing that happened in the dream."
