The Witch Trial Begins with the OO Buckethead Zombie

"..."

"..."

The fragmented consciousness continued to emerge, and the sensations of oxygen deprivation and insufficient blood supply gradually dissipated.

Hoshino Utsunomiya suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively got up.

The quiet air was filled with what seemed like an eternity of tinnitus.

Vision gradually cleared.

The familiar smell of rust wafted around the edge of his nostrils.

Utsunomiya Hoshino knew that.

broken.

Again.

Chapter 98 She can start all over again (12,000 words)

uncomfortable.

I feel so bad, so bad, so bad—

Yuki Tsukishiro felt terrible.

Why?!

Why should I?!

This is such a failure! How could I fail like this? How could I possibly fail like this?

"..."

The moment I came to my senses, the time reversal had already begun.

Time begins to rewind, and the decisions that must be made begin to be made.

Number of people, selection of participants, room arrangements...

To be honest, it's not that complicated.

But this will be particularly troublesome for Yuki Tsukishiro, especially now that she has discovered that the backtracking has already begun.

But no matter how troublesome it was, she could only suppress her frustration and get to work on arranging what needed to be arranged.

There are many repetitive steps, so simplifying the process might save a lot of time.

Yuki Tsukishiro silently added this matter to her planned schedule.

However, before confirming what needs to be done.

She still needs to review the situation.

You must review everything from beginning to end to understand why you failed and the reasons for your failure in order to regroup and avoid making the same mistake again.

And so, following her memory, what Tsukishiro Yuki recalled first was unavoidable.

These are my final thoughts.

His hands unconsciously tightened around Hoshino's neck, each finger increasing the pressure, his body striving in the direction he desired, while his heart moved towards disgust and resistance.

Intense negative emotions and a feeling of nausea for no reason filled Yuki's entire body.

She killed Hoshino Utsunomiya with her own hands once again.

Last time I used a dinner knife.

This time I used both hands.

This time, the feelings were far more real, more nuanced, and more... than the last time.

Nausea.

The throbbing arteries, the bulging Adam's apple, the incredibly vivid sensations, and his face turning bluish from suffocation and insufficient blood supply.

His life slipped away in his own hands.

It should be the same as before; it looks no different from last time.

But this time was different.

Tsukishiro Yuki felt a little nauseous.

"Splash..."

I turned on the faucet in the shower and let the water run over my hands, applying hand soap again and again, rubbing, rinsing, rubbing, rinsing.

As if she wanted to wash her hands until they peeled, Yuki Tsukishiro washed them carefully for a very long time.

It can't be washed clean.

But washing is never truly clean. The moment the washing is finished is never when her hands are truly clean; it's just when the water makes her feel that the washing is acceptable.

...I can't accept it, but I can't continue washing.

Instead of turning on the tap, she let the water run freely, hoping the sound would calm her down a little.

Yuki Tsukishiro felt that she probably knew the reason for this feeling.

Sure enough, the problem lay in the word 'personally'.

The sensations on his hands were incredibly delicate. As his hands tightened around his neck, the friction against every inch of skin made his face grow even more pale with each increase in pressure.

He was supposed to be smiling, just like last time when he was Meruru; he was supposed to be smiling and begging me to kill him.

But choking will ruin a smile, and choking will interrupt consciousness.

He could no longer turn around and hug me tightly; he could only let his hands hang limply at his sides.

'Strangling' allows you to fully experience the entire process of his death.

...Is this considered torture?

I couldn't help but have this thought pop into my head.

Hoshino seems to have said that she is afraid of pain.

However, he did not cry out in pain when the knife was plunged into his chest.

Is the pain of strangulation the same as that of stabbing? Is the pain of suffocation lighter or more severe than that of stabbing?

Tsukishiro Yuki didn't know, nor did she dare to, actually ask Utsunomiya Hoshino such a question.

But, she thought.

She probably won't want to use those hands to strangle Hoshino again.

......

This is the second time.

Having learned from her previous experience, Yukishiro made many adjustments this time.

The first thing to adjust was the number of people.

Five-player games are simply too few. If you don't kick out Heero or Emma and replace them with yourself, there's basically no room to hide.

But bringing together 14 people at once was still too challenging for Yuki Tsukishiro.

Take it one step at a time! Gradual progress is best!

So, as a trial, Yukishiro increased the number of people to seven.

With two more people, and the three remaining fixed, four people need to be selected to enter.

Which one should I choose?

Arisa Fujito is performing very well, should we continue to include her?

She hates Hoshino and will never like her, so logically, letting her in again would be the best option.

but......

That's quite a contrast!

Despite looking like a delinquent, wearing a mask, and burning down his own house, he's the kind of person who obediently washes his dishes and puts them back after eating!

Suspecting that Hoshino's attraction to Meruru's appearance stemmed from the almost contrasting gentleness beneath her tearful face, Tsukishiro Yuki hesitated for a long time before temporarily removing Arisa Fujito's name from the list.

The list was so long that Yuki was completely overwhelmed.

Which one should we choose? Which one should we choose? We can't get the answer until we actually confirm it.

but......

There was one name that caught her eye.

'Orange Sherry'

A smelly blue-haired guy.

He calls himself a detective, is obsessed with detective novels, is full of energy, and extremely lively, and then...

She once revealed that she had helped someone involved in bullying.

Yuki's gaze lingered on this line in the document.

Without a doubt, this is a guy who really, really loves to 'meddle'.

An excessive curiosity, a strong sense of justice, and a lively and energetic demeanor.

She didn't dislike this character; in fact, she was quite interested in it.

Will Hoshino like it?

Do you want him to like it or hate it?

Without much hesitation, Yukishiro decided to wear Sherry Tachibana's clothes.

She wants to be a super detective.

Once the roles have been decided, the other candidates become less important.

After much deliberation, Yuki Tsukishiro only managed to finalize the appointments of a theater troupe actor and a street artist.

One more is needed.
