Horikita Manabu discovered that the moment he stepped into this world, his mind was as if it had been forcibly covered with a layer of sticky gauze.
And at the edge of that gauze, it seemed as if an eye was watching his every move.
Based on the occasional hints Su Wei had given earlier, Horikita Manabu could easily guess the other party's identity.
But he did not back down, nor did he choose to turn around and flee back to the back room to escape control.
According to Su Wei's previous assessment, Machima, in a sense, is also a kind of morbid human love.
Her ultimate goal is to eliminate all suffering in the world and create an ideal world under her absolute control.
For a "dictator" who craves order and control, it is absolutely impossible for her to allow her world to be destroyed.
Therefore, Horikita Manabu believes that when facing a higher-dimensional threat like a back room, it is not impossible to try to cooperate with the other party to some extent.
The only tricky problem now is...
Makima clearly lacks the concept of "equal cooperation" and may even try to control otherworldly visitors like Skeleton Knight and Shubi for her own use.
But Horikita Manabu also has his own reasons for his confidence.
As soon as the group returns to the back room, the physical isolation across different dimensions will be enough to instantly disable Machima's dominance.
Moreover, Horikita glanced down at the black ball controller on his wrist.
On the holographic radar, several green dots representing friendly forces were flashing prominently—Nagumo Masaru, Kiryuin Fuuka...
Now that his own people were involved in this world, Horikita Manabu felt that he could not easily back down.
At the very least, he must first hand over the valuable intelligence he has gathered about the Heavenly Craftsmen and the inner chambers to highly trained individuals.
......
Meanwhile, on the Soviet side...
After a brief discussion with Ichinose and the rest of the group, and confirming the next course of action,
Su Wei did not linger at FSF and led Shiina Hiyori and Morishita Ai straight into the back room.
It has to be said that having Hiyori Shiina by your side is truly a pleasure.
Whether in terms of emotional value or actual efficiency in pushing images.
The [Whispering Scroll] can retrieve most of the information in the current world, saving them a lot of trouble with trial and error.
Each time they enter a new rear chamber floor, Shiina Hiyori only needs to whisper a question to the angel:
"Are there any special rules on this floor? Have there been any traces of the mysterious merchant?"
After receiving a negative answer, Su Wei was able to use the Yama Blade to cleave through space, quickly taking the two of them past those worthless, garbage floors and into the next floor.
The cycle repeats itself, and the efficiency is astonishingly high.
In terms of process, this is actually not much different from the exploration of Horikita and others. The only difference is that Su Wei's side is a "speedrun" with full map vision cheat.
Along the way, without the pressure of intense combat, Shiina Hiyori even had the leisure to chat with Su Wei.
"Suwei-kun..." the girl lowered her voice and asked softly, "Why has Morishita-san been following us around all this time?"
“I checked the secret manual, but I couldn’t find the reason why she came here.”
"Could it be... that you two are actually related in real life?"
Upon hearing this outrageous speculation, Morishita Ran, who was engulfed in the Mountain and River Map, maintained her expressionless face, only her eyes twitched slightly, as if she was curious about how Su Wei would respond.
Su Wei smiled helplessly and spread his hands, saying:
"To be honest, I'm quite curious about that too."
"The conclusion I reached with Morishita is... because I kept her in the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] for safety reasons during the previous exams. As a result, the system made a mistake in its judgment during the exam settlement, and she was unable to complete the process normally."
Su Wei slowly explained, "So, she has now become a 'bound spirit' in the Mountain and River Map in a way similar to exploiting a bug, and has been forcibly bound to it."
Upon hearing this, Shiina Hiyori seemed to be deep in thought and said:
"So... Morishita-kun has actually completed the second stage of the death penalty and directly jumped to the ghost state where there is only one 'resurrection match' left?"
“That’s good.” Su Wei nodded, then frowned slightly. “But I’m a little worried about something else now.”
"We now have a two-week break between exams. What will happen to Morishita Ai and the others' revival match then?"
Shiina Hiyori frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said with a pursed mouth:
"Although based on the information we currently have, the revival competition should be conducted in sync with our normal exam schedule."
"But just take the difficulty of the revival round that Kanzaki and Shiranami are about to face as an example..."
"Without our fortuitous help beforehand, facing those monsters with almost no resources, it would be virtually impossible to clear the game."
The girl paused for a moment:
"Perhaps, in the mechanism of the main god, the resurrection competition has actually been held many times before we knew it."
"They didn't succeed because the difficulty was simply too high..."
Morishita Ai: "......"
“That’s also a possibility.” Su Wei accepted the offer naturally. “As for the specific determination mechanism, we can only take it one step at a time.”
