As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"I don't know, let's go inside and see what happened." Takagi Saya was actually quite flustered, but she could only try her best to remain calm.

Arriving at the entrance of the house, looking at the tightly closed wooden door, Takagi Saya breathed a sigh of relief and then pushed the door open.

Then, Saya Takagi froze, her expression blank, her pupils dilated.

"ah........................"

Chapter Twenty: Choices

"Takagi, what happened?" Hirano Toda rushed over as soon as he heard Takagi Saya's cry.

"This, this is..." Hirano Toda saw a head still dripping blood hanging right at the door, facing Takagi Saya who had just opened the door.

After briefly surveying the room, and finding no apparent danger, Hirano Toda approached Takagi Saya and asked with concern:

"Gao Cheng, are you alright?"

Taking two deep breaths, Takagi Saya shook her head:

"It's nothing, I was just startled. Don't worry, but be careful, you never know what kind of danger might come next."

Although Saya Takagi was a bit timid, after these two days of baptism, she wasn't too afraid of the head, which only seemed a little scary. She observed the head and found that it seemed to be more familiar than anyone she didn't know.

Just as Takagi Saya was observing the head, the head, which had been expressionless, suddenly smiled.

Cluck cluck cluck cluck............

The sudden laughter made Takagi Saya stumble back several steps. Hirano Toda also raised his shotgun and aimed it at the head.

"What exactly are you?!"

Saya Takagi shouted excitedly, and the sudden movement of the head left her at a loss for how to react.

"Life is fragile, yet also incredibly resilient. Welcome to Bubble Plastic Surgery Clinic! We hope you have a pleasant transformation experience. Whether you become more fragile or achieve a higher level of well-being is entirely up to you. Hehehehehe..."

Accompanied by eerie laughter, the head's expression suddenly contorted, then instantly swelled up.

boom......

The head exploded, and blood fell to the ground, staining it red like a red carpet, as if welcoming guests.

"What on earth is going on?!" Seeing that the doorway had returned to calm, Hirano Toda habitually turned to Takagi Saya and asked.

"How would I know? But I know that the place ahead is definitely not a good place."

After saying that, Takagi Saya walked into the house. Hirano Toda followed her.

"Gao Cheng, didn't you say this wasn't a good place? Then let's get out of here right away!"

Following behind Takagi Saya, Hirano Toda asked with some confusion.

"Are you stupid? Since we've come this far, we have to come in if we want to leave."

Saya Takagi walked into the hall and observed everything inside. Although this place seemed exactly the same as her home, there were definitely differences.

However, nothing was seen in the lobby, as if the head mentioned earlier was just a scare tactic.

"Let's go inside and take a look."

With that, Takagi Saya walked down the corridor.

"Gao Cheng, be careful, there might still be danger here."

Walking behind Takagi Saya, Hirano Toda warily looked around, clutching his gun tightly to his chest; only in this way could he muster some courage.

Walking down the corridor, everything remained calm. It seemed like nothing was there.

They walked all the way to the end of the corridor, but still didn't encounter anything strange.

"What? Was that head just a bluff? It's like the tricks in haunted houses, where they use words to lure you in, making you unconsciously make connections."

"But there's nothing here. Even if you want to scare people, you need some props, right? Besides, this doesn't seem like a place just for scaring us."

"I know, I was just saying. Okay, let's hurry up and look for clues around here."

After saying that, Takagi Saya opened a door.

"What is this?!" Looking at the situation inside the door, Takagi Saya said with a sense of disgust.

Hirano Toda came closer, looked at the situation inside the door, and then quickly covered his mouth.

Inside the house, half-rotten corpses were scattered everywhere, making the whole room look like a hell.

boom......

Saya Takagi slammed the door shut; she simply couldn't bear to watch such a scene.

"What kind of person is the owner of this place? It's disgusting."

Saya Takagi desperately suppressed the churning in her stomach, leaning against the wall for a while before she calmed down.

As for Hirano Toda, he had already started vomiting on the side.

"Takashiro, why are there so many corpses in this room? What's going on...?"

"How should I know if you're done? We need to go check out the other rooms."

Immediately, Saya Takagi arrived at the second room and opened the door. However, the instant she opened the door, countless tentacles suddenly reached out from inside and dragged her inside.

"what......"

Saya Takagi's scream brought Hirano Toda back to his senses.

"Takagi!" He looked up and saw Takagi Saya being dragged inside.

Immediately, he picked up the shotgun and went to the door. He opened the door, took a step back, and aimed the gun at the room. However, there was nothing inside; there were no tentacles, and no Takagi Saya.

"What exactly happened? Where is Gao Cheng?"

Hirano Toda looked warily into the room; he was quite certain he had seen Takagi Saya being dragged in.

"Hehehehe, ahead lies the hell of the coward and the paradise of the brave. Are you a brave man or a coward? Step into it and you will either win or die."

Suddenly, the voice of the head from before appeared behind Hirano Toda.

Hirano Toda turned around and saw the same head he had seen before standing behind him. However, the head now had its own body and was dressed like a butler.

"Tell me, where did Gao Cheng go, or else... or else..."

As he spoke, Hirano Toda cocked his shotgun, but his hands were trembling and he was just barely holding on.

"You are quite good. Even in fear, you still dare to stand here. You have the potential to be transformed."

The butler maintained his smile, seemingly unconcerned about the gun in Hirano Toda's hand.

"Answer my question!"

Hirano Toda wanted to run away immediately, but what would happen to Takashiro if he did?

"Do you want to save your companions? Then go in. I told you, it's a paradise for the brave and a hell for the cowardly. You might not be able to come out. Now that the sacrifice is ready, you can leave."

The butler raised his hand and pointed to the previously empty room.

Just as the butler finished speaking, the previously empty room transformed into a blue-white vortex, like a teleportation portal. Within it, Hirano Toda seemed to hear Takagi Saya's cries for help.

At this moment, Hirano Toda was caught in a deep dilemma. He didn't know whether he should choose to leave directly or risk the obviously low chance of saving Takagi Saya.

Seeing Hirano Toda's hesitation, the butler remained calm and simply watched him, waiting for his choice.

Chapter Twenty-One: Abigail's Little Test

At this moment, on a desolate plain, Takagi Saya is fixed to a plant covered with tentacles.

Tentacles wriggled all over her body, a sensation that filled her with both disgust and profound shame. She couldn't believe that these repulsive tentacles were somehow giving her a pleasurable feeling. At that moment, she felt like a wanton harlot.

Of course, besides these two emotions, there is also fear. Although he doesn't seem to be in any immediate danger, he feels there is no chance of being saved.

Previously, Takagi Saya had always been proud of her intelligence, but now she realized that her intelligence was useless, and in fact, because of it, she could already foresee her future fate. Because of this, she felt utterly hopeless.

Until this moment, she desperately hoped that someone would save her, like the prince on a white horse in a fairy tale, and take her out of this place of despair.

Just then, a voice suddenly appeared beside Takagi Saya.

"Hehehehe, hello there, offering."

Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Takagi Saya turned her head and saw the headless creature she had seen before floating beside her. Now it had a body and was dressed as a butler.

"Who are you? What are you going to do to me?"

Just as Takagi Saya proudly stated, she was very clever. She could tell at a glance that this butler-like guy was at least one of the people in charge of everything. Although she didn't know if there were any higher-ups, this guy certainly knew a lot.

"Didn't I tell you? Sacrifice, you will become the sacrifice to awaken the great being. To ensure the quality of the sacrifice, I will let you offer yourself in pleasure, so don't worry, there will be no pain."

"What exactly do you mean?! What sacrifice? What great being? Explain yourself!"

Saya Takagi asked loudly, unsure if the other person would answer, or even if she knew this information would be of any use to her. But taking action was always better than waiting.

"A great being? He was the most powerful demon king in the world, who once ruled this world. But the despicable gods attacked him and sealed him away. However, none of these gods escaped; they all paid the price for their actions. Now, I will use you as a sacrifice to awaken His Majesty the Demon King. You should feel honored for this."

"It feels like the setting of some third-rate novel to me."

After listening to the butler's explanation, Takagi Saya made a comment.

However, the butler simply smiled at Saya Takagi's complaint and said:

"You're wrong about that, I made it up on the spot."

"Huh?" Upon hearing the butler's words, Takagi Saya was completely dumbfounded.

What does this mean? Made up on the spot? This person must be bored.

"Actually, you are very lucky. You have a good companion. Even when you were afraid and didn't know what lay ahead, your companion still came to save you. However, a sacrifice is necessary, but only one is needed. So, think it over carefully."

After saying this, the butler disappeared.

Watching the butler disappear, Takagi Saya fell into deep thought. Anyone who wasn't mentally challenged could understand what the butler meant, but what should she choose?

............

"Have you made up your mind?" At the entrance of the teleportation portal, the butler looked at Hirano Toda, who was turning to walk towards the portal, with his unchanging smile.

"Well, running away might be the best option, but what's the point of just surviving? The world is already like this, I might as well take a gamble."

After saying that, Hirano Toda stepped into the portal.
