A crossover anime, where people are in Classroom of the Imaginary Era, and behind the scenes, the ki

However, Ayanokouji's actions rekindled Nangumo Masaru's previously waned interest.

'That look in your eyes... is interesting.'

Accompanied by the dull whistling sound of the central air conditioning fan.

The group passed through the storage room and along the narrow corridor, finally arriving at the logistics corridor that represented the safety passage.

What came into view was not a bloody battle, nor were there any students fleeing in terror.

Instead...

Su Wei, Kamuro Masumi, and the others had their backs to them, holding thick hemp ropes they had found from somewhere, and were binding up a lump of unconscious things on the ground.

That lump of something...

It was a tall, thin humanoid creature wearing a black suit.

"This is......"

Horikita paused slightly in his steps.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's expression froze.

It was as if the shackles deep in my mind had been unlocked, like long-dormant latent memories being suddenly awakened at an unexpected moment due to some event.

'I remember now.'

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's pupils contracted.

'That vanished Molotov cocktail, that blank memory...'

Volume 1: Chapter 52 Kamuro Masumi finds it exciting

Turn the clock back two minutes.

The emergency exit of the coffee shop's back warehouse was dimly lit.

Suwei led the girls around the corner.

Before she could even stand behind him, Kamuro Masumi, who was so nervous that she instinctively gripped his clothes and was about to whisper a reminder to Su Wei to slow down and not scare herself, spoke up.

Su Wei suddenly stopped and raised his hand in greeting.

Everyone fell silent, holding their breath and straining their ears.

From the bottom of the dimly lit corridor, a faint sound came from below—dry, hoarse, like a whisper with coarse sand in its throat, rubbing against each other to make indistinct whispers.

"We...we've probably encountered the most troublesome thing ever." Netkura Mako swallowed hard, trying her best to keep her voice down, but her trembling voice still betrayed her fear.

"Run... while we're not discovered yet."

Kamuro Masumi almost instinctively stepped back, shielding Su in front of her.

"We don't know the situation on the other side yet, it's too dangerous to blindly entrust our backs to the monster."

Su Wei stared at the darkness below, his brow furrowed, appearing deep in thought.

"...You all retreat behind the door first, I'll cover the rear."

Upon hearing this, Masumi Kamuro's hand gripping his shoulder stiffened, and she looked at Su Wei with a deep sense of respect.

Even the usually emotionally stable Net Warehouse Mako was moved by it.

Only Shiina Hiyori opened her mouth.

Although she felt it wasn't right to leave Su Wei alone, under the heavy pressure of reality, as the only person with no room for error, she didn't have the confidence to offer to stay on her own initiative, and could only silently keep her gratitude in her heart.

Just as the girl felt guilty and wanted to express her gratitude,

Suddenly, the sound of leather boots clicking on the concrete floor echoed from the previously quiet walkway below!

"Da-da!"

Shiina Hiyori's expression changed, her movement to get up paused slightly, and even her breathing slowed down.

But in reality, the silent creature downstairs hadn't noticed the crowd at all.

Su Wei felt the atmosphere was just right, so he took a moment to use his "telekinesis" to deliver a powerful blow to the monster from a distance.

The silence that followed the unexpected slap made her instantly alert, and she then followed the stairs up to find her way up.

Su Wei quickly composed himself and peeked at the pale head peeking out from around the corner below.

He didn't say anything, but took out his phone, which he had already silenced, quickly typed a line of text, and handed it to the group:

[This monster... I seem to vaguely remember it. It can alter human cognition; as soon as you look away from it, the related memories are formatted. I had absolutely no recollection of it existing before, but seeing it was like something was unlocked in my mind.]

Masumi Kamuro took the phone, and after reading the message, she was completely stunned. She hurriedly typed a reply:

【What do we do now?! If we just run away, won't we forget everything as soon as we turn around, then wander back in a daze and run right into its gun?!】

In order to see the phone screen clearly, Shiina Hiyori and Amakura Asako subconsciously shifted their gaze away from the silence downstairs.

In the instant their gazes shifted, the two looked confused, their perception momentarily clouded. They stared at their phones, bewildered, about to ask what had happened.

Shinmuro Masumi, who had escaped unscathed by not daring to look further from the beginning, was terrified upon seeing what was happening.
