Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

Chapter 62 The Mimic Monster Arrives!

"Brother! That's...!"

"Ah...! I saw it!"

The brother and sister ran through the maze, but after running for a while they didn't see the other three. Finally, at this moment, they met Leila.

Leila's eyes were lifeless, and her body was covered in blood, making her look extremely eerie. But the brother and sister didn't care; they rushed over to find out what was going on.

"Laila!" Knight immediately rushed into Laila's arms, then touched her all over. "Laila, what happened? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Don't worry... I'm fine..." Leila gently pushed her away and then stood up.

"Leila, where's Mode?" Neko asked about Mode's whereabouts.

“He and Peller covered for me so I could escape and find you two for help.” Leila didn’t seem to be lying. “We ran into that slime.”

"what?!"

Knight immediately prepared to rush to her aid, but in that instant, she was stabbed. And it was Leila who stabbed her without hesitation.

“Leila… Sister…?” Knight’s eyes were filled with confusion and anger.

"Knight!?"

Because all the actions were taken from within Nico's blind spot, he had no idea what was happening. When he saw Knight fall, he didn't think much and rushed over.

Cha——!

"—?!"

Leila then threw the dagger in her hand and plunged it into Neko's neck. Every action she took was filled with murderous intent and was deadly.

The brother and sister never imagined that Leila would do such a thing; they were killed by Leila without any warning.

Like Mo, they didn't close their eyes before they died; they just looked at Leila with a mix of emotions in their eyes, but the one emotion they all shared was bewilderment.

"goodbye……"

Leila didn't pick up the dagger; she walked straight back.

Wow?! Is the maze really that treacherous?! Did you see it?!

That woman! Yes! That's the woman!

He was talking to the mage and warrior in a friendly manner at the beginning, but suddenly he stabbed the mage with a knife, and then threw the knife back and killed the warrior!

My God, is it really that scary?

Thanks to this full language comprehension, I can understand what they are saying. As I understand it, they seem to be part of a team, but it seems that something has happened.

Then, this woman named Leila suddenly killed both of them. Wow, that's terrifying! It was so sudden! I didn't even have time to react; I thought they would run to rescue the people together.

Who knows! Who knows! This woman is a traitor!

Ah... come to think of it, it has nothing to do with me... so why am I so angry? Hmmm, it's probably because of the slime...

Anyway, this doesn't seem to concern me... but I heard something that really bothers me...

At the end of this road, which is my house, there's a fight going on right now? And it's very intense?

I have a feeling that the slimes are fighting right there, fighting against humans... But why is this woman deliberately coming out to kill them?

Tsk, let's hurry over and take a look!

I stopped as I passed the two corpses and closed their eyes. Then I went to the scene of the crime. That woman, I will do everything I can to kill her for you.

That being said... this is my first time killing someone... I'm a little uneasy...

When I was almost there, I could see the flashing magical light and all sorts of explosions inside. It was really that intense! Were the gods fighting?

At that moment, I saw Leila slumped to one side, motionless, holding a man's corpse, her eyes lifeless, as if she had broken down.

I walked up to her like that, and she didn't react. I simply used pliers to separate her head from her body.

I didn't feel much emotional turmoil; it was as if I were doing something perfectly natural. But even though I was killing someone, I had no thoughts about it. I guess I've gone mad, influenced by the maze for too long.

The surrounding environment was also in a mess, as if it had experienced some great catastrophe. All sorts of traces were there, and they stretched deep into the ground. I could see my house, but it was blocked by fallen rocks.

I might have inadvertently moved a distance during the battle. Should I chase after them and check on them?

While I was still thinking about these trivial things, the battle had already ended. The magical light stopped flashing, and the sounds of battle ceased.

Could it be that it's already over?

Driven by curiosity, I continued deeper into the area, where the situation was even more severe than outside, and the original form was no longer recognizable.

What I saw was a slime desperately resisting, and a person fighting like a madman. No matter what magic the slime cast on him, it couldn't stop his advance. In the end, he chopped the slime down.

In that instant, I suddenly felt a sharp pain somewhere in my body, my mind went blank, and my whole body felt hot.

Ah... I finally understand... I was an overly kind person when I was alive, and that hasn't changed even in this world.

Go save it... save the slime.

Then, my body was completely controlled by my own willfulness. At the critical moment, I rushed to the man's sword and blocked the fatal blow for the slime.

The man, startled, sheathed his sword, took a few steps back, and looked at me with interest. "What are you looking at? I'm furious right now."

I turned to look at the slime behind me. Part of its body had been sliced ​​off by the sword, and it was now struggling to repair itself. Its HP was barely above zero; thankfully, I arrived in time.

Its eyes were filled with doubt and confusion as it looked at me, as if asking why I was here. Isn't it obvious? You are my irreplaceable friend.

Hmmmm, to put it simply, I'm just a pushover and can't let go of these guys! But what happened with Yanshan Xiang back then is another matter; I'll settle the score with you later.

I grabbed the slime and tossed it into my mouth, not intending to eat it, but just to keep it inside my body. The upcoming battle might be very intense.

I looked at the guy who had hurt my important partner, and I knew I would never let him off so easily.

I don't know why... but I'm really angry right now! Get ready to eat my hand grenade!

"Shou, shouliudan?" That person actually said what was on my mind.

Huh? I can speak now? Hmm, whatever!

"distortion"--!

Chapter 63 Forcibly Reaching a Consensus

The sudden appearance of this mimic piqued Peller's interest. Interestingly, the mimic actually ate the slime.

Then he heard the mimic's voice, but that stopped. The mimic's voice contained words he couldn't understand, something like "grenade"?

What is that grenade?

He had absolutely no idea what it was; he'd never even heard of it. But now he had to pick up his sword and fight, because his opponent had already unleashed a magical circle.

The color of this magic circle was one that Peller had never seen before—a silvery white. Moreover, Peller could not sense any flow of magic energy within it.

The magic circle only unfolded for a fleeting moment; its pincers passed right through it and vanished. Then, the mimic inexplicably retracted—was it a joke?

Click— Wait…

His body moved faster than his mind. By the time Peller realized something was wrong, he had already jumped out. His intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with the magic just now.

boom----!

Immediately afterwards, the spot where he had been standing exploded, and with an unprecedented intensity that magic could not possibly produce.

The explosion engulfed the mimic, but the flames were nothing to it, and the aftershocks blew Peller away.

Is that really that strong?! How did they even manage that?!

Peller had no idea what the mimic had done back then. If his sister Alice were here, she would definitely laugh at him.

He had no idea what that magic was, but Alice knew that it was a rare 'spatial magic' in the entire world. Humanity's understanding of this magic was limited to knowing that it could change the environment.

Those who have never actually seen this kind of magic have no idea about it. Alice learned all sorts of things because of the king's constant harassment, so she knew about this magic.

Ironically, the current situation is all because of the king himself.

Hey, this is getting more and more interesting...!

While enjoying the fact that things had become complicated, Peller used Serreon to stop his body from being blown away until the explosion stopped.

The mimic was no longer there; only the traces of the explosion remained.

"what?!"

I'd be a fool to fight you!

I shouted that to him in my heart, but I figured he probably couldn't hear me anyway, so I had to run as fast as I could.

I'm not stupid. I know very well that I can't beat that guy. Even the slime couldn't defeat him, so there's even less chance that I can win.

Since I can't win, why should I fight him? I might as well just take the slime and run away. Speaking of which... why am I so good at running away in this world?

Well... I'm angry too, but I should be more rational and run away first.

Where there is life, there is hope.

I knew the grenade wouldn't hurt me, so I used it as a smoke grenade. I used "Twist" to throw the grenade behind the guy, then ducked back into its casing to avoid the initial explosion.

As it turned out, the effect was outstanding; the man was blown away by the grenade before he could even react. However, the result wasn't as good as expected; the man jumped out at the last second, so the grenade didn't manage to blow off his limbs or anything. Hmph, serves you right for being blown up.

I was directly hit by the blast right at the center of the explosion. I wasn't seriously injured, but I'm a little worried about the shell. I just replaced it recently, and if it gets damaged again, I won't have a replacement.

I used the aftershock of the explosion to get myself away from him and ran away. I figured this guy wouldn't chase after a small fry like me.

In short, just run far away and you'll be fine!

"Where are you going?!"

Click——!

What a joke!

Suddenly, a sword flew from behind and stuck right next to me. The person yelled something and charged forward. Wow, is this necessary? If you're so good, why don't you go fight the Flaming Mountain Elephant!

"The Flame Mountain Elephant is dead..."

Hmm? Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?

"Don't stop, keep running."

oh oh……

Suddenly, a beautiful voice rang in my mind. I instinctively stopped, the voice urging me to keep running.

Hmm... there aren't any creatures here that can communicate with me telepathically... and thinking about it, this human can only yell at me, right... which means...

"Ah...yes, it's me...if we're talking in human terms, I'm a slime."

You can speak?!

"Yes, I've known how for a long time. Don't stop, jump to the left."

Huh...? Clang—!

I continued to run away after dodging the sword stuck in the ground. When the slime told me to jump to the left, I didn't react in time and ended up getting hit by the sword.

That sword strike was incredibly heavy; it actually damaged me, reducing my HP bar slightly, but it's not a big deal.

Roll forward twice, then open your mouth behind you.

What do you want to do?

"Do as I say if you want to live."

The slime's voice was extremely unfriendly, and it immediately started ordering me around. I had a strong urge not to obey its commands until I saw a thin, dark shadow emerging from my own shadow.

Whoa?!

Startled, I immediately rolled forward twice, causing the sword's strike to miss. However, I lost my balance and could only open my mouth backwards. Then I saw a red magic circle unfold in front of my mouth, and a high-speed fireball shot towards that person.

"Tsk?!"

The person immediately withdrew their sword and used a cross slash to disperse the fireball. I was pushed further away by the recoil of the magic.

Hey!? You're putting magic inside me?! That's dangerous!?

"Nothing will happen." The slime's reply was very perfunctory. "Keep running."

You might not know what happened, but the slime actually just placed a spell inside my body. I really can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't opened my mouth at that moment.

But thanks to it, I'm out of danger, albeit temporarily. I think the slime's command was probably correct... maybe...

Slime... can I still trust you?
