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

"Hmm? Is there such a Mita?"

Hat Mita tilted his head and said thoughtfully.

"But... I only know that other Mita exist, and I've never seen them in person, so I don't know what other Mita look like."

"Is this so..."

Iwanaga Kotoko nodded without comment, looked at Asagiri who was sitting there, and asked curiously.

"So...what should we do next?"

"time to go."

"Walk?"

Upon hearing this, Kotoko Iwanaga couldn't help but look puzzled. After all, they had just checked. The windows of this room could not be opened, and there was only white light outside, with nothing at all. When the door of the living room was opened, there was only a concrete wall. There was no normal way to leave here.

"Player, are you leaving?"

When Mita the Hat, who had been so lively and active just a moment ago, heard Asagiri say that he was leaving, a look of loss appeared on his face. He even stopped shaking his shoulders and looked at Asagiri pitifully.

"Can you play with me for a little while longer? Just a little while longer... I'm so lonely here alone..."

"That won't work."

Asagiri shook his head and said firmly.

"I'm pursuing speedrunning, so I definitely can't stay here with you forever."

Just when Hat Mita was feeling extremely lost and had a pitiful look on his face, Yuuki Asuna and others beside him felt a little sorry for him, but Asagiri suddenly changed the subject and spoke with a smile.

"But you can come with me."

"Eh? Should I go with you? But..."

Before Hat Mita could finish, Asagiri interrupted.

"You said that as Mita, the meaning of your existence is to accompany the players, right?"

Mita the Hat said hesitantly, "That's indeed the case..."

"Isn't that okay?"

Asagiri walked up to Hat Mita, squatted down, looked directly into his face, and spoke with a smile.

"From the moment we entered the game, this is no longer just a game, and you are no longer a program bound by the system. As long as you want to follow me, you can go."

"I..."

Hat Mita was silent for a few seconds, and finally looked into Asagiri's eyes, his face showing determination, and nodded vigorously.

"I've decided. I want to go with you. I don't want to stay here any longer!"

"Okay, let's go."

Asagiri stood up and walked towards the living room door with Hat Mita. Following behind them were Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi, who found that the concrete wall that originally blocked the door had completely disappeared at some point, and in its place was a long corridor with many oil paintings hanging on it.

Kato Megumi looked at the changes in front of her and muttered to herself.

"I see... Is the layout of the room related to Ms. Mita's own thoughts?... She felt she couldn't leave, so there was no path to anywhere else. But when the Leader invited her to leave, and she made up her mind to leave, a path appeared."

"Is that so?"

Mita looked surprised, but then couldn't help shaking and said proudly.

"Sure enough, I'm really good~"

Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi all noticed that Mita, who was wearing a hat and gloves, was a lively and energetic person.

“This corridor outside…”

Kotoko Iwanaga stood at the door, observing the long corridor in front of her, the walls on both sides of which were covered with oil paintings, with no end in sight. A look of alertness flashed in her violet eyes, and she spoke softly.

"I can feel a strange aura in this corridor."

In fact, there was no need for Kotoko Iwanaga to remind them specifically. Just by looking at those oil paintings with chaotic colors, distorted patterns and structures, which had no meaning at all and were just creepy, Asuna Yuuki and Megumi Kato knew that there was definitely danger in this corridor.

"I'll go explore the way first."

After hearing what Iwanaga Kotoko said, Kato Megumi immediately spoke.

"Then I'll follow along..."

"Do not."

Iwanaga Kotoko waved her hand and smiled.

"Have you forgotten the effect of my talent? Monsters won't attack me actively, so the most reasonable plan is for me to go in alone and see if there is anything strange in this corridor, and..."

Having said that, Iwanaga Kotoko took out her cell phone, handed it to Asagiri, and said with a smile.

"Leader, I'll leave my phone in your care. Just by touching the app, you can tell if I'm dead, right?"

Asagiri nodded slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"But also consider the possibility that you might be trapped."

"Too."

Iwanaga Kotoko nodded and thought for a while before speaking.

"How about this, from the moment I leave, count silently for fifty seconds. If I'm not back yet, you use that prop."

"it is good."

"Well, I'm off then~"

Kotoko Iwanaga stepped out of the door without hesitation, showing no trace of fear at all. She just used her cane to support herself on the ground and walked forward quickly.

Looking at her petite figure gradually moving deeper into the corridor, Kato Megumi and Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but reveal admiration in their eyes.

As expected, Iwanaga Kotoko is very powerful.

Although one of her talent effects is that she "will not be actively attacked by monsters", the APP also specifically indicates this, with the exception of a few special circumstances, such as when a monster feels that Iwanaga Kotoko has invaded its territory.

Even so, knowing that there was something strange in the corridor, Kotoko Iwanaga still chose to go in alone to explore, without any hesitation or wavering, as if she felt no fear at all.

After Iwanaga Kotoko walked about ten meters, something strange happened.

The oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides suddenly began to shake violently. Among them was a strange painting that looked like a human face, but seemed completely meaningless, with messy colors, and made people feel very uncomfortable when looking at it. It fell directly from the wall.

"Clap."

With the crisp sound of glass breaking, the oil painting fell right in front of Iwanaga Kotoko, as if blocking her way.

Kotoko Iwanaga stared at the oil painting, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and she murmured to herself with a smile.

"You feel your territory has been invaded, so you're warning me?"

095 A corridor full of evil spirits

Seeing this, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Necro, why don't you come back first? Since the other party has issued a warning, if you continue to move forward, won't you be attacked?"

"It's possible."

Kotoko Iwanaga nodded, her violet eyes looking at the darkness ahead. She first raised her foot, as if wanting to take a step forward and continue moving forward, but in the end she just shook her head, turned around and started to go back.

Seeing that she did not act impulsively but chose to come back first, before Yuuki Asuna could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly saw a figure wearing a dirty white dress stained with various colors of paint, barefoot, with long black hair, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with resentment, slowly crawling out from an oil painting less than five meters away from Iwanaga Kotoko. She began to slowly approach Iwanaga Kotoko.

Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi's pupils shrank in shock, and both of them wanted to speak up to remind them immediately, but at this moment, Iwanaga Kotoko raised her left hand and made a gesture of silence to them.

Because she was facing away from him, the spiteful female ghost in the dirty white dress did not notice Iwanaga Kotoko's movements, but just followed her step by step.

Seven meters, five meters...

When Iwanaga Kotoko was only five meters away from the living room door, the resentful female ghost seemed to confirm that she would not go any further, so she stopped and slowly turned around, as if she was going to return to the oil painting she crawled out of.

at this time.

"Clap."

Kotoko Iwanaga raised her cane and swept down a framed oil painting on the wall. The crisp sound of glass breaking broke the tranquility in the corridor and froze the movement of the resentful female ghost.

"Oh, I'm really clumsy."

Kotoko Iwanaga raised her hand, tapped her head gently, stuck out her tongue, and looked playful and cute. Hat Mita, who had been waiting obediently, saw her make such an expression, and like a mimic, she imitated Kotoko Iwanaga's movements and expressions, as if she was competing with the other to see who was cuter.

After Iwanaga Kotoko smashed a framed oil painting, the resentment in the ghost girl's eyes became noticeably stronger. But before she could make any move, Iwanaga Kotoko raised her cane again and, without even pretending, smashed another oil painting.

Seeing this scene, the resentful female ghost finally couldn't help it. She opened her throat and let out a sharp and piercing roar. She stretched out her dirty hands covered with paint and pounced madly at Iwanaga Kotoko who had her back to her.

"Violet, help me~"

"coming."

Hearing the screams behind her, Iwanaga Kotoko ran forward two steps and then squatted on the ground. As she did this, a long sword flashing with cold light appeared in the female ghost's field of vision.

"Thorns."

A dazzling light burst out from the tip of the exorcist's sword, crossing a distance of three meters and directly piercing the female ghost's shoulder.

It's not that Yuuki Asuna's aim is off, but...

"Leader!"

"it is good."

Asagiri looked at Asuna Yuuki, who had already reached in front of the female ghost due to the inertia of the sprint, and spoke softly.

"Castling."

The next second, Yuuki Asuna disappeared and Asagiri appeared in her original position.

Upon seeing this, the female ghost's eyes became even more resentful, but she did not attack Asagiri who was so close to her. Instead, she turned around and tried to crawl back into the painting she had come out of.

"Human Shura."

Before the female ghost could take a step, two dark ghostly hands had already grabbed her shoulders.

"what!!!"

The moment the female ghost was caught, she suddenly let out a shrill and piercing scream, and the glass framed paintings hanging on the walls on both sides were shattered by her scream.

Dozens of oil paintings fell to the ground. The next second, like the female ghost, dozens of evil spirits covered with paint quickly crawled out from the paintings.

"Have you called your companions..."

Yuuki Asuna frowned and quickly stepped forward, swinging the exorcist sword without hesitation, just like Asagiri had done in the hotel copy, directly cutting off the female ghost's limbs, then grabbing the other's long hair with one hand and dragging her towards the living room door.

At this time, several of the dozens of evil spirits that crawled out of the oil painting had already approached Asagiri.

"Grip of Hades."

Before those evil spirits touched Chaowu, a huge pale ghost hand suddenly stretched out from the void, and its five fingers quickly closed together, and with a shrill scream, it crushed the evil spirits into pieces.

"Leader!"

Hearing Yuuki Asuna's call, Asagiri turned around and saw that the other party had dragged the female ghost who had been cut into a human stick into the living room of the apartment where Hat Mita belonged. So without any hesitation, he asked Shura to stand in front of the group of evil spirits, and he quickly ran towards the door of the apartment.

But when he was less than two meters away from the gate, a dark, swaying ghost hand suddenly stretched out from an oil painting on the ground and tried to grab Asagiri's ankle.

The next second, a sudden cold light flashed.

I don't know when Kato Megumi started standing outside the door, holding the ominous dark purple dagger. Her expression was as calm and composed as ever, but her movements were quick and decisive. She stabbed the dagger directly into the palm of the ghost hand from top to bottom.

"Come in quickly."

After the experience of the last copy, Kato Megumi has obviously grown. Even at this critical moment, her voice is still so soft and calm.

After Asagiri and Kato Megumi came in together, Hat Mita was quick to close the door and even propped it up with his shoulder. However, the world inside the door and the corridor outside seemed to be two completely different worlds. After closing the door, the evil spirits' originally shrill screams disappeared instantly, and the whole room returned to silence.

"What...are those things?"

Hearing Hat Mita's question and noticing the other party's somewhat flustered expression, Kato Megumi took two steps forward and asked in a soft voice.

"Ms. Mita, have you never seen those things before and didn't know they existed?"

"I do not know..."

Hat Mita shook his head and said nervously.
