In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

Chris Walker took a head-on hit and was hit by flying stardust, but he only took half a step back. Not to mention being pierced, there was not even a wound on the surface of his body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuuki Asuna immediately crawled out of the gap, and when Asagiri also wanted to crouch down and enter the gap, Chris Walker had already slowed down and was about to come over to attack him.

"It exploded with him."

The moment Asagiri finished speaking, Crazy Mita suddenly appeared, with a crazy smile on his cute face and a grenade with the pin pulled out in his hand. He rushed directly towards Chris Walker who was standing there, shouting excitedly.

"I'm going to explode with you!"

"boom!!!"

As the grenade exploded, stirring up a cloud of dust, Asagiri had already crawled out of the gap and successfully reunited with Kato Megumi, Yuuki Asuna, and Iwanaga Kotoko.

Chris Walker, who was hit head-on by the explosion but remained unharmed, had an angry look on his face. He raised his foot and stomped hard on the ground. The whole building trembled slightly because of his action, and he let out an angry roar like a beast.

The strange thing is that this layer is made up of miscellaneous items such as tables, chairs, and fences, and there are gaps and obstacles everywhere. With the terrifying power displayed by Chris Walker, he should be able to break through directly, but he just stands there roaring, like a hunter who has missed his prey, angry and unwilling.

It stared at Asagiri with eyes filled with resentment, then turned and left, its huge body gradually disappearing into the corridor.

"Huh...it was a close call just now..."

After breathing a sigh of relief, Yuuki Asuna sat down against the wall and said with lingering fear.

"There are actually such terrifying monsters in this dungeon..."

There was no sign of tension or fear on Asagiri's face, she just spoke in a calm tone.

"If it weren't for that stupid fighting guy, we wouldn't have been discovered by Chris Walker."

Kato Megumi still looked calm. Although her breathing became a little rapid due to the intense exercise just now, her mood was very calm.

"Why doesn't he catch up?"

"This is the reason."

Kotoko Iwanaga raised her cane and tried to touch the obstacle, but before her cane touched the debris, it was blocked by a layer of black mist.

"This is..."

"Like I said, the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital itself is weird."

Kotoko Iwanaga observed the black mist that the end of her cane touched, and said thoughtfully.

"Although this barrier looks like just a pile of debris, it's actually part of the 'weirdness'. That's why Chris Walker, who is also 'weirdness', can't break through it. As for whether we can destroy it... I don't know. But even if we waste our physical and mental energy destroying this barrier, it won't do us any good."

"I see."

Yuuki Asuna nodded with a complicated expression.

"That Chris Walker... is simply too strong. Crazy Mita's grenades, my Stardust Splash, Human Shura, and the Holy attribute skills used by that Fighter player earlier, all failed to penetrate his defense..."

“So it gets interesting.”

Hearing Yuuki Asuna's worried words, Asagiri said eagerly with a smile and even a hint of anticipation in her voice.

"In a gloomy and terrifying environment, being chased by monsters while searching for a way to escape, just thinking about it..."

“I just think it’s very interesting.”

Chapter 68:066 The Inside Story of the Giant Mountain

"Isn't that interesting..."

Seeing Yuuki Asuna's slightly helpless expression, Asagiri said seriously.

"Of course, clearing horror dungeons with beautiful girls is a real treat. While enjoying the thrill, you can also admire their adorable appearance of tears in their eyes, their trembling fear, yet their attempts to act strong. Isn't that a real treat?"

"Are you...are you a pervert..."

Hearing Asagiri's words, Yuuki Asuna recalled that she was in tears and on the verge of her limit over the weekend, but it actually made him even more excited. Even longer ago, in the rookie copy, the other party had said something similar, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

"You...you are definitely a pervert..."

"Really? You like this?"

Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko showed an eager expression and raised her hand.

"Hey, I can cry too. I can cry too. I can cry~"

Kato Megumi sighed, her tone gentle, yet with the authority of an elder restraining a child.

"Three of you, can we talk about crying after we clear the dungeon?"

Asagiri raised his eyebrows, looking slightly surprised.

"Why, you want to cry too?"

Kato Megumi adjusted the hairband she used to tie her hair into a high ponytail and spoke in a soft tone.

"If you keep playing with abstractions, I might actually start crying."

"Okay, let's get back to the topic."

Asagiri switched between the abstract and serious player states with ease. He immediately restrained his smile and looked at the dark corridor on the other side, thinking about everyone's current situation.

"First and foremost, we can confirm that Chris Walker was not only the most dangerous patient in this mental hospital during his lifetime, but he's also the most terrifying after transforming into a strange entity. If the four of us use our full strength, we might be able to eliminate him. However, according to Necro, this mental hospital itself is eerie. We can't rule out the possibility that even if we eliminate Chris Walker, he'll resurrect like the skinny man before. Therefore, it's best not to fight those mentally ill patients to conserve your physical and mental strength."

"Yeah, I agree."

Asagiri continued only after Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi, and Iwanaga Kotoko expressed their agreement.

"Although this dungeon starts out filled with a sense of urgency, I believe that, like previous dungeons, it still follows two routes: one for ordinary players, and the other for those who want to obtain high-level clearance ratings. Judging from the current situation, escape is the main quest for ordinary players, while exploring why this mental hospital has become so strange, what exactly happened to those mentally ill patients, and the truth behind all these strange events are the hidden quests for high-end players."

"If the difficulty of this dungeon is just avoiding the searches of those psychopaths and stealthily searching for information, we have Phantom here, so we shouldn't have to worry, but..."

Having said that, Yuuki Asuna suddenly frowned, walked in front of Asagiri, and stared at him seriously.

"Why did you let me go through the gap first?"

"I..."

Yuuki Asuna didn't even give Asagiri a chance to speak and interrupted her directly.

"You're the only one on the team who can reverse time and be resurrected. Once you die, time will automatically reverse. This is a one-time opportunity, so you absolutely cannot be the last one to leave. What if Chris Walker captures you and doesn't kill you, preventing you from committing suicide and making it impossible to rewind? Or even if you go back a full minute, you're still stuck in danger? What will you do? I know you want to protect me, but next time we encounter this situation, I'll be the last one to leave."

“It’s not protection.”

In response to Yuuki Asuna's serious words, Asagiri smiled.

"I just wanted to peek at you from behind while you're lying on your stomach. You have a nice figure~"

"Screw you."

Asuna Yuuki's pretty face turned slightly red, and she gently pushed Asagiri's shoulder, knowing in her heart that the other party was using abstract words to ease the serious atmosphere.

Asagiri wasn't the type to think about dirty things in a dangerous dungeon, and besides...

Not to mention the way she lay down with her clothes on, her whole body, in so many postures... He had already seen it all, so was there any need for him to peek at her at this time?

"Don't worry, I understand."

Asagiri reached out and gently pinched Yuuki Asuna's cheek, smiling.

"Next time there's a dangerous situation like this, I'll leave it to you to deal with it."

"That's good."

Yuuki Asuna blushed and turned her head away, speaking in a slightly shy tone.

"You...can rely on me more, and I don't mind at all."

"Hey...you two, can you stop being so cheesy?"

Kotoko Iwanaga puffed up her fair cheeks, and her voice was filled with uncontrollable jealousy.

"Let's go quickly and continue exploring."

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

Twenty minutes later, they found themselves in a room that looked like an office, with several desks, computers, and filing cabinets.

"I can't turn on the computer..."

Asagiri tried to turn on the computer, but without electricity, the desktop computer could not start up. Then he bent down to take a look and found that the computer case had been destroyed beyond recognition.

"It seems that it is impossible to obtain information from the computer."

"Leader, take a look at this."

Iwanaga Kotoko held a flashlight in one hand and placed a document bag on the desk. With the help of the flashlight, she could see the words on it clearly and muttered to herself.

"Frank Antonio Manera, nicknamed 'Bone Saw Chef,' has a penchant for eating humans, is extremely mentally disturbed, has a history of drug abuse, and is emaciated..."

When Iwanaga Kotoko read this, Kato Megumi immediately reacted.

"The evil spirit we encountered in that kitchen-like place before was this 'Bone Saw Chef', right?"

"Judging from the appearance description, it should be."

Kotoko Iwanaga opened the file bag and took out several printed files. It was indeed more detailed information about the "Bone Saw Chef", and there was also a photo that should have been taken when he was admitted to the hospital. Although there were differences, it was still possible to tell that it was the skinny evil ghost with messy hair and beard, who was holding a human head in his hands, that the four members of the team had encountered before.

Kotoko Iwanaga had no interest in how many horrific and heinous crimes Frank Antonio Manera had committed before he was imprisoned in the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital. The only thing that seemed strange to her was a line of small print at the bottom of the data sheet.

[Identification and Assessment: Frank Antonio Manera is qualified to be a test subject]

"Experiment?"

Seeing the line of small words at the bottom, Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but frown, and a thoughtful look flashed in her violet eyes as she murmured.

"Frank Antonio Manera's health is in dire straits, with a history of severe substance abuse. His strength, stamina, health, and all other bodily functions fall short of the average adult male standard. Yet, even such a guy is qualified to be a guinea pig? What kind of experiment would have chosen him as a guinea pig?"

Yuuki Asuna heard this and thought about it.

"Could it be that he's a severely mentally ill patient who's committed many horrific crimes, so he can be used for experiments? Even if someone like him dies during the experiment, no one will hold the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital responsible, right?"

"No, not literally."

Kato Megumi stretched out her white and tender index finger and gently tapped on the line of small words at the bottom.

"If any mental patient qualifies, then there's absolutely no need to add this, right? Didn't you and the Leader already analyze this last time we were here? Giant Mountain Mental Hospital is different from ordinary mental hospitals. It's more like a heavily guarded prison for dangerous mental patients. If that's the case, then every patient should qualify as a test subject. There's no need for an appraisal or anything like that, right?"

"indeed."

Iwanaga Kotoko nodded and thought seriously.

"According to the records in this file, although Frank Antonio Manera is a perverted cannibal, he's just an ordinary human, without any special powers. The protruding bones and blood-soaked appearance we saw earlier could be the result of the power generated by his twisted soul after he transformed into a monstrous being. However, we can't rule out the possibility that this so-called 'experiment' may have transformed him into such a monstrous being."

Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna looked at Asagiri who was checking the computer and asked.

"Leader, anything found?"

Asagiri raised her head from under the computer desk and said something lightly, which made Yuuki Asuna and others change their expressions in shock.

"Someone cleaned the place."

"Clean...what do you mean?"

"The hard drive was missing from the case, and there were no debris around. The case was smashed just to cover it up."

Asagiri glanced around the office and spoke in a calm tone.

"A mentally ill person wouldn't do something like this. This proves that someone was here before us, perhaps to cover up a secret or to recover data. In short, they took the computer's hard drive."

"Could it be... Blackwatch? Are they the masterminds behind the so-called experiment? But I remember there was a news report about the riot at the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital in the hotel dungeon. Given Blackwatch's capabilities, they shouldn't have made such a mistake. Even if they did, it shouldn't have been made public in the news, unless..."

Having said that, Yuuki Asuna suddenly seemed to have thought of something and looked at Iwanaga Kotoko.

"Necro, you mentioned before that people's opinions and rumors might also be the reason why an area becomes strange, right?"

Kotoko Iwanaga reacted immediately, with disbelief in her eyes.

"You're saying... that the news was deliberately reported to turn the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital into a mysterious and unwelcome area? But if that's the case..."

"Like I said before."

Asagiri said in a calm tone.

"Blackwatch has experience handling paranormal events, and they possess a wealth of intelligence regarding them. They even know how to proactively create a paranormal zone. Of course, this speculation assumes that the so-called experiments at Giant Mountain Mental Hospital were indeed conducted by Blackwatch. We can't draw definitive conclusions yet; this is merely a possible analysis."
