Horror game, but harem plan

"...Just as Mr. Yang Ming reasoned, those people won't be so honest after they know their identities give them an advantage in the dungeon."

Kaguya Shinomiya now understood the meaning of resistance. She looked at her originally clean desk and the reminder of her changes, and her expression gradually turned cold.

"Now, we are completely on the same side, Mr. Yang Ming."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you pass the level successfully."

Yang Ming said easily.

At the same time, a piece of text appeared in front of Shinomiya Kaguya.

[Player Yang Ming wants to team up with you. Do you agree?]

Without hesitating for too long, she chose to agree.

"Once you decided to act with me, everything was set in stone. After all, bystanders must remain absolutely neutral. Even if you psychologically express sympathy for the 'victim', it will lead to the bully targeting you, and your status will change."

Yang Ming wanted to try to comfort her.

"Even if that's the case, it's more comfortable than acting with that kind of person."

Shinomiya Kaguya, feeling a little unhappy, sighed softly and maintained a calm expression on her face.

"If she's going to take action against us with those bullies sooner or later, it's better to eliminate this trouble as soon as possible."

"So now, it is very necessary for us to sort out the information we have at hand."

She stretched out her fair fingers and gently pressed on the roll call book on Yang Ming's desk.

Yang Ming nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"According to the information currently available, the names on the roll call are all key figures in this dungeon. Sato Chizuru is the bully in this classroom. As for the one in the hallway, there's currently no information to support it. Keikawa Mayu is the dorm bully."

Opening the roll call list, she found that the name of [Kashima Sakurako] had disappeared. In addition to her own and Yang Ming, there were five names on the roll call list.

【Chizuru Sato】【Mayu Aikawa】【Misaki Kobayakawa】【Aya Watanabe】【Aoi Suzuki】

The identities of two of them have been confirmed, but there is not enough information available for the remaining three.

"This copy should have become even more dangerous."

"Without the player bullies for us to exploit, and without the bystanders, we are left with only the two of us who are being bullied, and we don't know what actions those things will take against us."

Shinomiya Kaguya spoke immediately, obviously realizing the seriousness of the problem.

"That's right. If the bully's fellow players had helped us in this dungeon, it would have been much less troublesome. At least it would have been able to effectively disperse the pressure from those who were targeting us."

Yang Ming nodded. Her thinking was very helpful in organizing the existing clues.

"Based on the current situation, apart from the dungeon becoming more dangerous, there are no other changes."

Players [He Yelin] and [Bully] had to be eliminated. After comparing the information of this hidden old player, she must have told them that Yang Ming's identity was different from theirs and that they were enemies. She must have wanted to use this method to control those brainless things to attack her.

No, it's more likely that he was trying to use the efforts of himself and Kaguya, and then reap the benefits.

The quick exchange with the young girl produced results, although this result only made me feel worse and was of no other help in clearing the level.

It is a very serious situation.

Finally, the two-person team decided on the next course of action. Kaguya Shinomiya was alone in the classroom waiting for the bell to ring. The hands of the old clock hanging on the blackboard in the classroom moved minute by minute, and the atmosphere gradually became silent.

They didn't know what Sato Chizuru would do when there were only two [Victims] players in the classroom.

However, since the teaching building had not been searched thoroughly, Yang Ming jumped out of the window quickly to ensure that no information was missed and to prevent those guys from deliberately tricking him.

Their class, Class 2, Grade 3, is located on the third floor.

After landing, he came directly to the empty playground. Yang Ming was outside the teaching building and jumped directly into the window.

There were no people and no strange things.

Nothing at all.

There was nothing in the drawers of all the desks, the lockers behind the desks, the secret compartments under the podium, or the grooves of the blackboard.

Except for a roll call book with the same contents as the one in Yang Ming's hand.

He didn't give up, so he climbed out of the window and went to the next classroom on the first floor, quickly checking all the classrooms.

——Ding——Dinglingling——

The moment the class bell rang, Yang Ming had already climbed in through the window, which made Shinomiya Kaguya amazed. Although he had performed the feat of jumping out from the fourth floor and landing on the ground while holding her before, this was indeed beyond the physical ability of ordinary people. Is this the benefit that survival games bring to players?

"Any information?"

Shinomiya Kaguya's cold voice asked.

"See for yourself."

While the class bell was still ringing, Yang Ming put all twelve attendance books in his hand on the table in one breath.

Kaguya flipped through the twelve roll call books quickly and found that the contents were exactly the same.

The moment the bell stopped ringing, he was already seated.

The empty classroom was filled with people again.

Those students who had no facial features and whose faces were filled with bright red mucus to look like facial features appeared in the classroom one after another.

【Chizuru Sato】

It was pierced through my mind by a pen and also appeared in the classroom.

【Hehehehe~~~】

[There's another transfer student~]

--Oh no.

Yang Ming's expression became serious.

Sure enough, as the number of players decreases, the difficulty of the dungeon is increasing. The last time this thing took action was because it was alarmed by Kashima Sakurako's scream, because it is not inappropriate for a student to shout in the classroom while preparing for class.

But now, Yang Ming and Kaguya Shinomiya did nothing.

And it just locked onto the two of them.

Yang Ming lowered his head, but could still feel the malicious gaze, like a knife scratching his flesh, like a needle.

The sound of chairs being pulled in the classroom was piercing. Yang Ming stared at his blurry reflection on the desk. He felt a cold sensation on the back of his neck. Sato Chizuru had come to his side without him noticing. The hem of her rotting skirt brushed against his arm, and a rancid smell mixed with the smell of rust wafted behind his ear.

【Look at me.】

Chapter 122 Malice

On the other side, he heard a sound in his ears. The sound did not seem to come from Sato Chizuru. After all, at this moment, she was standing next to his desk, and some kind of smelly and disgusting mucus was dripping down.

Why are you ignoring me?

[Bitch! Do you think you can look down on us just because you're pretty?? ? ?]

"And that Ono, she's just a bitch like you! She's just trying to get financial aid by having sex with the teacher, right?"

【Hehe~~】

A foul breath suddenly approached, and two arms in varying degrees of decay were placed on Yang Ming's shoulders at the same time. The leftmost arm was wearing the student union armband.

Look at me.

Look at me.

The voice in my ears began to repeat.

Yang Ming kept his eyes tightly closed. To be honest, [Chizuru Sato] was easier to deal with than [Mayu Keikawa]. If it wasn't for Kaguya Shinomiya coming to his rescue in the dormitory, he would have really been staring at the thing in Kaguya's skin.

The arm on his shoulder began to gradually exert force, like a hydraulic clamp increasing its strength, and Yang Ming's flesh and bones began to make a creaking sound.

The moment he knew about this, Yang Ming had already put on the cold steel armor, and his whole body to toes was surrounded by cruel armor.

- As long as you can hold on until...

As long as I don't break the rules, it can't kill me directly. These fears and tortures are just putting psychological pressure on myself to make me look at it.

Yang Ming silently calculated the time in his heart. At least during this time, he had to keep its attention on himself. Although he also trusted Shinomiya Kaguya very much, he still couldn't bear to see the girl suffer in front of him.

【Hehe~~】

Ignore me~

[Then it’s okay for me to play a little prank, right?]

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a burst of scorching heat poured down from the top of my head.

——Crash.

It's water.

"Uh--"

The thing was holding a kettle, and its pale face stared at Yang Ming without any expression, and its lips slowly moved.

【Why are you pretending to be an excellent student? You're trash.】

Yang Ming's body reacted immediately to what that scorching heat was. His back instantly arched like a shrimp, and the boiling liquid made a burning sizzling sound as it seeped into the gaps in his armor.

Boiling water poured down from the top of the head.

The pain was eating away at consciousness.

Yang Ming's back teeth were almost broken. The moment the scalding liquid seeped into the seams of the armor, he heard fine crackling sounds rising from the surface of his skin.

The boiling "water" was not ordinary boiling water at all - rusty thumbtacks and glass shards were suspended in the liquid, and the moment it touched his skin, it turned into countless screaming mouths gnawing at his flesh and blood.

The veins on his neck bulged like a coiled earthworm. Inside his armor, soaked in liquid, a sharp pain and burning sensation coursed through his body.

[Does it hurt? Ono-chan was doused in three pots of water back then~]

[Oh, it's okay, we were just joking.]

Ono...this name appears twice, who is it?

The hand on his shoulder suddenly grew sharp nails, and the cold metal steel made a harsh squeaking sound.

This is the ability of these things, weird and unreasonable. No wonder players in the forum call the hostile NPCs invincible.

Yang Ming gritted his teeth. He noticed that his health was rapidly decreasing, and at the same time, his skull was making fine crackling sounds in the boiling liquid.

Perhaps it was because his willpower was strong enough, or perhaps it was because his purpose was not to kill instantly but to torture himself. In any case, while being tortured by the boiling water, he immediately took out the [Painkiller] from his backpack, an item that could instantly increase his blood volume, and stuffed it into his mouth.

He heard his pores screaming, and every drop of scalding "water" turned into a poisonous spider on the surface of his skin, using its burning chelicerae to tear open the epidermis and drill into his bone marrow.

Kaguya Shinomiya smelled the scalding heat and the scent of meat soaked in boiling water.

She already knew what Yang Ming was going through, but she didn't dare look back. She was afraid that Sato Chizuru's head would be between her and Yang Ming, and once she turned around, they would be caught in a stare-down.

The boiling liquid has already reached Kaguya Shinomiya's feet.

Shinomiya Kaguya clenched her fists in worry...

--You must hold on, Mr. Yang Ming.

- Just wait until...

Yang Ming did not sit still and wait for death. He took out the first aid bandage from his backpack to restore his health.

He struggled to resist the malice from the bullies. If he could get a glimpse of the truth behind these ghosts' current behavior, Yang Ming could endure it.

【Red Room Glass】

It was the identity that Yang Ming replaced.

Judging from the roll call and dormitory list, Yang Ming, the player, is a girl named [Feishi Liuli] in this dungeon, although in terms of appearance and physical structure, he is a man through and through.

In other words, when they were still human, these beasts...

That is……

what is that……

It turned out to be a phantom of the past.

In a trance, he saw a girl with beautiful flaxen curly hair sitting in his seat.

There was a circle of women around her.

They laughed and pulled the child's hair from time to time, and occasionally made shrill, sharp laughs.

The flaxen curly-haired girl huddled in the corner of the desk, the tips of her five pairs of patent leather shoes forming a thorny cage.
