'See you...?'

Ryuji Kanzaki raised an eyebrow, puzzled as to who this person was.

At that moment, Miko Yotsuya, who was not far from Chie Hoshinomiya, timidly raised her hand.

The girl's face was full of bitterness, as if the words "I'm so unlucky" were written all over it. She explained with a wry smile:

"Um... Shiraha-kun, actually, Hoshinomiya-sensei and I didn't die..."

“We, we should be the unlucky ones who were randomly selected as ‘intruders’.”

Before Yotsuya Miko could finish speaking...

A voice representing the will of the black ball suddenly rang out.

Congratulations! You have successfully passed the preliminary test for the revival round.

Now, if you can leave this test alive, you will be completely freed from this cursed spirit and reborn.

To avoid wasting your time, I will provide a basic background introduction to this exam before the test officially begins.

As the emotionless electronic music began.

Several lines of text appeared before everyone.

[In this alternate world, an ancient evil god, powerful enough to destroy the world, is sealed underground. To prevent the evil god from awakening, a secret human organization regularly holds cruel sacrificial rituals to appease it and keep it asleep.]

Now, some of you have been 'unfortunately' chosen to be tonight's sacrifice.

[If you are willing to give up resistance and complete the sacrifice according to the normal procedure... aside from the predetermined offerings, everyone will survive.]

[But if an accident causes the ritual to fail, the evil god will awaken...]

The world is destroyed.

Volume 1: Chapter 196 Evil God's Sacrifice, Contracted Beast

"An evil god... a sacrifice? And the destruction of the world?"

The cold night wind rustled through the gaps in the forest.

Hoshinomiya Chie tightened her coat, feeling more confusion than fear in her heart.

why her?

Although she learned of the existence of the black ball, in order to save her life, she secretly followed the trend and tried to practice the so-called beauty and health benefits of the Ripple Qigong.

However, given her age and limited talent, without the cheating assistance of the [Mental Time Chamber], she remains a novice who hasn't fully grasped the basics.

With this kind of fighting ability that could be easily defeated in the exam, how could they be randomly selected and thrown into this resurrection match dungeon that sounds hopeless just from its name?

The Star Palace just couldn't figure it out.

Could it be... just because she's the homeroom teacher of Ichinose's class?

Or is it simply because she got too close to Chabashira Sae?

Did the black ball's judgment mechanism mistakenly believe that she was very familiar with those favored core personnel, so it forcibly brought her in to make up the numbers?

'Don't joke around... we're actually made entirely of plastic!'

Hoshinomiya wailed inwardly, wanting to cry but unable to.

Seeing her homeroom teacher's ashen face, Yotsuya Miko gently patted her back.

Although she saw that her son also had a sad little face, she still kindly comforted him in a soft voice:

"Teacher Hoshinomiya, don't despair too much. I just tested it, and the Ripple within me and the enhancement suit I'm wearing still work normally here."

"Strictly speaking, being able to use force in this type of instance isn't necessarily a good thing... but for us, it's still a consolation."

"As long as they are not completely powerless to resist, it seems that they can still put up a fight."

Hearing this, Hoshinomiya Chie nodded slightly, her emotions calming down a bit.

They could only place their hopes on Yotsuya Miko and the rescue that might come at any time.

However, before that, there is something else that deserves more attention.

Since Ryuji Kanzaki and Chihiro Shiranami had already died in the previous black ball exam, they were able to get a chance to play in the revival match because of the hidden mechanism of the black ball.

Does that mean...?

Even if she dies here, it might not be the end?

Hoshinomiya Chie composed herself and took the initiative to ask with concern:

"Shiranami-san, Kanzaki-san... what did you experience after you 'died'?"

"It must have been... very hard, right?"

Chihiro Shiraha lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking somewhat uncertainly:

"Actually... after I died, I went straight back to my home. My home in the literal sense, but I became a kind of earthbound spirit, unable to leave a certain area."

"Later, the black ball contacted me and told me that 'lucky ones' like me who retained their consciousness would gradually become distorted and turn into evil spirits if they did not reincarnate for a long time, and would never be able to reincarnate."
