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

At that time, two weeks had passed since her disappearance, and when Kotoko Iwanaga was found, she had lost her right eye and left leg.

What's even more bizarre is that after Iwanaga Kotoko woke up, she claimed that she remembered nothing.

As a lady from a wealthy family, although Asuna Yuuki has never met Kotoko Iwanaga in person, she has heard about this matter. She did not expect to meet her in person in this copy.

"In that case...then we must protect her even more!"

Asuna Yuuki wondered how Kotoko Iwanaga, a disabled girl who had difficulty moving and needed a cane to help her walk, could survive in such a dangerous copy?

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Asagiri only needed one sentence to make Asuna Yuuki regain her sanity.

"Think about it carefully. A petite girl with a disability actually dared to sign up for a dungeon. What does this mean? It means she's fearless. As a player, Iwanaga Kotoko must have either obtained a special class or unlocked a powerful exclusive talent. Maybe, like me, she has both."

029 Just use persona and activate it!

"Too."

Yuuki Asuna also realized that she had lost her composure. After sorting out her emotions, she let out a long sigh.

"Since she's taken the initiative to sign up for the dungeon, it means she's aware of the situation. Even if she dies in the dungeon, that's her own choice. We should focus on the goal at hand, which is to complete this dungeon."

"Yes."

Asagiri agreed at first, then followed Yuuki Asuna and walked down the dim stairwell with a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.

During this process, Yuuki Asuna chose a very detailed standing position, which was to be slightly ahead of Asagiri by half a body length, and at the same time ensure that every time she went down a floor and was ready to go down again, she was on the outside, that is, close to the door where the corridor and the stairwell were connected.

This is based on rational considerations.

Judging from the prompts in the copy, it is almost impossible for Yuuki Asuna to defeat the evil spirit one-on-one with only an ordinary weapon. Otherwise, there would not be a prompt asking her to avoid fighting with the evil spirit as much as possible.

But Chaowu is different. The system tells him to fight quickly and decisively.

Asuna Yuuki's idea is very simple. She is a melee profession, and Asagiri's profession is a supporting type diplomat. Although the other party can use the power of the personality mask, it takes at least two seconds from forming a gun-shaped summoner to completing the summoning.

If Asagiri loses her combat effectiveness due to a surprise attack, the entire group will be wiped out. Therefore, when the evil spirit attacks, it is the most reasonable choice for her to serve as the first line of defense and buy Asagiri time to summon her personality mask.

"No need to be so nervous."

As if noticing that Yuuki Asuna was too nervous and was always on guard against possible evil spirits, Asagiri spoke softly.

"As I said, a good game should avoid punishing players for no fault of their own. Between the elevator and the stairs, we chose the latter. It couldn't be the wrong option, so we're unlikely to encounter evil spirits. The dungeon has only just begun, and you've been in such a state of high tension. In less than two hours, your spirits will be stretched to their limits."

Yuuki Asuna nodded and forced a smile.

"Okay, I understand. I'll try to relax as much as possible..."

Just when Yuuki Asuna was halfway through her words, a strange sound suddenly came from the bottom of the stairwell, making her body feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave and instantly stiffened.

"woo woo woo woo..."

Hearing this sound that sounded like a woman crying, mixed with the sound of a sharp object scratching against the wall, Yuuki Asuna's face turned pale in an instant. She turned her head tremblingly, looked at Asagiri's profile, and spoke with trembling lips.

"Leader, what should we do..."

"persona!"

Asagiri summoned his own Shura without any hesitation. The moment the huge black ghost appeared in the stairwell, it followed him and rushed down, even appearing to be very impatient.

"You like crying, right? I'll make you cry enough today!"

"I go..."

Yuuki Asuna paused for a moment, then immediately followed, wondering if this was too reckless. According to horror movie plots, after hearing such an eerie cry, shouldn't one retreat quickly? Why was she not retreating, but instead advancing courageously?

"Anyone who invades our territory will be attacked and destroyed by me!"

Hearing Asagiri's words, even at such a tense moment, Yuuki Asuna almost couldn't help but complain.

No...isn't this a dungeon? Isn't this the evil spirit's territory? How did it become yours?

When Yuuki Asuna turned the corner of the stairwell and came to the next step, she saw a scene that made her unbelievable.

I saw that Asagiri's personality masked man Shura was using his big hands to press on a female ghost who was wearing blood-stained red pajamas, barefoot, with long black hair covering her face, revealing only a pair of eyes full of resentment, and with exaggeratedly long nails on her hands.

Asagiri herself was not idle either. She had raised one foot and stepped on the female ghost's head.

For some reason, Yuuki Asuna suddenly felt that this scene was a bit like a young evildoer who brought his burly bodyguards to bully a weak woman.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Crack!"

The female ghost in red was about to cry out, but Ren Shura tore off one of her arms and handed it to Asagiri. Asagiri stuffed the female ghost's arm directly into her mouth in front of Yuuki Asuna's horrified gaze.

"Well..."

Use someone's own hands to cover their mouth?

Yuuki Asuna had never seen such a scene before.

"Violet, equip your weapon."

"Oh...oh, okay."

After Yuuki Asuna equipped herself with a rapier and walked closer, Asagiri pointed at the female ghost in red.

"Stab her, but don't stab her in the vital spots. I'll need her again later."

Yuuki Asuna always felt that this sounded a bit strange, but she still followed Asagiri's request and quickly stabbed the red-clothed female ghost with a rapier.

The next second, when she pulled out the rapier, she found that the opponent's wound did not bleed, and in the blink of an eye, it had healed as before, but the arm that was torn apart by Shura showed no signs of recovery.

"So that's what it means. Ordinary weapons can't completely eliminate evil spirits. So that's what you mean..."

Asuna Yuuki thought that her rapier seemed unable to completely destroy the evil spirits, but it could still cause damage to them. Although the damage would recover in the blink of an eye, at least if she encountered an evil spirit alone, she could use the agility bonus of the Wind Divine Protection to quickly cut off the opponent's legs and then take advantage of the gap to escape.

"Uh huh..."

"You're still here? No!"

At this time, Asagiri, who was stepping on the female ghost's head, looked like a real evil ghost.

He first loosened his feet, then squatted down, stretched out his hand, gently stroked the hair of the female ghost in red, and then leaned over to smell it.

Seeing Asagiri's actions, Yuuki Asuna was dumbfounded. Thinking back to what she had just said, he would use the words of this female ghost later...

No, you're... a bit exaggerating, aren't you?

Could it be that the moment Asagiri heard the crying, he couldn't wait to rush down because he had a special fetish of... controlling female ghosts?

"The smell of shampoo, and there are water droplets on the hair. Is it a drowned ghost? If I'm not mistaken..."

Asagiri looked directly into the eyes of the female ghost in red and spoke slowly.

"You drowned in the bathtub, didn't you?"

After hearing these words, the resentment in the red-clothed female ghost's eyes dissipated a little, but she still stared at Chaowu vigilantly, not knowing what he wanted to do.

But Yuuki Asuna already knew what Asagiri wanted to do.

Diplomats, it’s time to start diplomacy.

030 Torture is also diplomacy

The female ghost in the blood-stained red pajamas suddenly shrank her pupils and even her shoulders trembled slightly after hearing the word "bathtub".

"That's true..."

Asagiri noticed the other person's change in mood, smiled slightly, and said softly.

"If that's the case, then it's easy to handle."

As the words fell, Asagiri grabbed the red-clothed female ghost's wet black hair, dragged her, pushed open the door of the stairwell, and entered the hotel corridor.

Seeing this, Yuuki Asuna looked up at the floor number displayed above the stairwell. After confirming that this was the seventh floor of the hotel, she hurriedly followed.

"boom!!!"

Asagiri grabbed the ghost girl's hair with one hand, and after entering the hotel corridor, he found a room nearby, kicked the door open, and then dragged the struggling ghost girl in red in.

"Violet, go into the bathroom and fill the bathtub."

After hearing Asagiri's order and looking at the red-clothed female ghost who was pinned to the ground by Shura and kept struggling, but could only make barely audible whimpers because her mouth was blocked by the arm, Yuuki Asuna nodded without hesitation, then walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet of the bathtub.

Along with the sound of running water, the water level in the bathtub gradually rose.

While waiting, Yuuki Asuna was not idle either. She carefully observed the environment of the bathroom, not wanting to miss any details that could provide useful information.

Just as she had guessed, this hotel was indeed a very high-end type. Not only was the suite that the players were in when they first entered the dungeon, but even this ordinary king-size bed room had a bathroom that was separated into dry and wet areas, with a bathtub, shower, and toilet, and was divided into three compartments using opaque frosted glass.

Asuna Yuuki tried to turn the faucet, but cold water still came out.

"Is the hot water supply broken..."

As a young lady from a wealthy family, Yuuki Asuna knew that high-end hotels like this would not install household water heaters in the rooms. Usually, they would use large gas boilers, and then use water tanks and pipes to transport hot water to the rooms on every floor of the hotel.

Asuna Yuuki silently kept this information in mind. After all, forty minutes had passed since she entered the copy. If you exclude the red-clothed female ghost who was "captured" by Asagiri... by Asagiri, this place looked like a normal, functioning hotel.

The lights in the corridor were on, indicating that the power supply was not interrupted. There was no blood stain or anything like that on the carpet or the walls of the corridor. To be honest, the horror atmosphere was far less than that of the last dungeon location, the Giant Mountain Psychiatric Hospital. The only suspicious point that might be a clue now was the tiny detail that there was no hot water in this hotel that seemed to be operating normally.

"Has the water been put away?"

Hearing Asagiri's voice, Yuuki Asuna turned around and looked at the other party who was grabbing the female ghost's long hair with one hand, and nodded with a slightly complicated expression.

"Well, it's almost there."

"Okay, let's get started."

Asagiri dragged the red-clothed female ghost in, then glanced at Yuuki Asuna and smiled.

"Do you want to watch or go out and wait?"

"Aren't you underestimating me?"

Yuuki Asuna crossed her arms over her chest and frowned slightly.

"Isn't it just immersing it in water and then torturing it? It's not human. Don't worry, I won't have any mercy on it."

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Asagiri first replied with a smile, then walked to the side of the bathtub, pulled the red-clothed female ghost's hair, and knocked her head heavily on the edge of the bathtub. Then she squatted down and looked directly at the other's eyes, which were filled with fear and trembling the moment she saw the water surface in the bathtub. She seemed to want to say something, but then shook her head.

"Forget it. It's already this late. I'm too lazy to continue to negotiate with you verbally. I don't want to say anything, and you don't deserve to hear it. After suffering a little, you will understand. But even if you don't understand, I don't care. I can experiment to see if water can drown evil spirits, and if so, how long it will take."

Having said that, Asagiri stood up, and his human Shura walked into the bathroom. The tall black shadow was extremely oppressive. Then, in front of Yuuki Asuna's shocked eyes, the human Shura tore off the other arm and leg of the red-clothed female ghost as if he was tearing a rag doll.

Seeing this scene, Yuuki Asuna felt a little physically uncomfortable, but she knew that this was the safest method, so she didn't say anything. She just watched Asagiri cancel the summons of Human Shura, then grabbed the red-clothed female ghost's hair with one hand and slowly immersed the other's body into the bathtub.

"Uhhhhh!!!"

The moment her body touched the water, the red-clothed female ghost suddenly let out a hissing sound from her throat, as if she wanted to scream, but her arm was still stuffed in her mouth, so she could only make a barely audible whimpering sound.

"There's no pain and it will be over soon."

Asagiri said this first, and then added with a smile.

"Of course, I don't care even if you're in pain. The more pain you suffer, the more fun I have. So keep up the good work."

"Uhhhhh!!!"

Just when Chaowu was about to press the red-clothed female ghost's head directly into the water, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Asagiri held the limbless female ghost in red in one hand, and with the other hand, he took out his cell phone from his arms and opened the APP with the eye icon.

[Diplomat's passive skill has been activated. Diplomatic method type: Fearful Pressure]

[Diplomatic Effect: Outstanding]

"The app prompt saved you."

After reading this prompt, Chaowu smiled, picked up the red-clothed female ghost again, then threw her to the ground, reached out, took out the arm that was stuffed in her mouth, and said with a kind smile.

"In that case, I'll give you a chance. Can you speak?"
