You say this is a love game?

A red crayon line extended from the stairs and spread higher.

Chapter 146: Seven Campus Ghost Stories: Eight Cracked Female Spring Water Guarding Corpse [Ashes: Nue]

The path drawn with red crayon leads directly to nothingness.

"?"

Mizutani Makoto was not wrong.

On this infinitely extended staircase, a red crayon painted a path on the ground. Mizutani Makoto continued to go up along this red line, but finally found that the road suddenly made a 90-degree turn, allowing him to step into the void.

Mizutani Makoto tried to stretch his legs.

Yes, keep your feet on the ground.

"Invisible Road?"

"Are you playing so dirty?"

Angry.

Mizutani Makoto looked around and found that there was nothing iconic in this place. It was just a very ordinary small step on this long ladder.

If there is no red crayon, what will he use to find it?

"If you're dragged into this place, you'll be trapped in a different dimension and starve to death."

The corner of Mizutani Makoto's mouth twitched.

No, there must be something else... The thirteenth staircase, this thing is also a self-aware weird story, it can even go out hunting, so it must have a core, or consciousness.

He only saw the ghost hand on the stairs, maybe he didn't find the correct way to open the BOSS.

Chidorimaru floated beside the sword master. It must be said that Mizutani Makoto's posture of holding one sword alone gave people the feeling of a sword-wielding monk.

The crayon drew a path in the void, and Mizutani Makoto walked on the shapeless stairs with his super sense of balance. As he walked, he turned to the back of the stairs.

It was also on the back that Mizutani Makoto caught a glimpse of the true nature of the strange story.

Behind the infinitely extending staircase, hung a twisted and bloated mass.

Countless arms were tangled together, like a mass of crushed and then forcibly pieced together tumor, or like some kind of deformed and evolved spider, hanging upside down on the back of the stairs.

The spider's palm tightly grasped the gap in the stairs. The ghost hands that had previously emerged from the steps and tried to drag the invader away were all spreading from here.

"She's a bit too ugly."

Mizutani Makoto frowned as he looked at the core of this strange story. Although there was disgust in his tone, his eyes had become solemn.

And the middle of the strange story.

If we cannot find its upside-down body, we will probably be trapped in this infinite staircase and be consumed to death by time and countless ghost hands.

But now... I've found it, so it's not a problem anymore.

The red crayon was still drawing at a very fast speed. The tip of the crayon was engraved in the void. The whole crayon seemed to be drifting and soaring, outlining red lines in the void, and actually drew out all the transparent stairs that could be stood on.

"what!!"

The spider made of palm seemed to sense the approaching danger and hissed suddenly, like a cat panting.

"You're a spider."

Mizutani Makoto picked up Chidorimaru. Now that he had the real body, there was no need to be afraid.

The spider-shaped monster at the back of the stairs waved its hundreds of arms at the same time, and really climbed up the back of the stairs like a spider. It moved very fast, but fortunately its target was large enough, so even though it was moving quickly, Mizutani Makoto could easily capture its figure.

It didn't even try to escape.

The stair ghost roared angrily, but climbed towards the back of the stairs above Mizutani Makoto's head, as if he wanted to climb to the top of Mizutani Makoto's head and give him a hard blow.

But Makoto Mizutani won't tolerate it.

The distance is already very short!

"Lei go!"

Mizutani Makoto's figure turned into a dazzling bolt of lightning. Another great thing about this skill is that it is not restricted by direction. As long as Mizutani Makoto wants, he can hold Chidori Maru in his hand and launch a bolt of lightning in any direction, up, down, left, right, front, or back!

There are disadvantages as well - normally, if he lunged upwards, he would end up falling from about ten meters in the air. This situation of having no leverage in mid-air was enough to make him a sitting duck for several rounds.

But with this spider...

Mizutani Makoto growled, and just as he had tried in practice, at a speed too fast for his dynamic vision to capture, he handed the blade over to his "heart", and let his mind, which had just begun to see the way, guide the sword in his hand.

Follow your heart and move with the blade!

When the power of thunder dissipated, Mizutani Makoto flashed out from the lightning with a large sword in his hand, and slashed the spider's back with one blow. He also used the inertia of the sprint to stick directly to the spider's back, and grabbed the ghost hands on the spider's body fiercely. At the same time, he also felt the pairs of ghost hands pulling at his trouser legs.

You fucking!

Okay, okay, there is a sex maniac here too.

These arm-shaped minions or bosses, when fighting, it's like hundreds of little hands with nowhere to put them, rubbing against people!

Mizutani Makoto gripped Chidorimaru's hilt tightly.

In the blink of an eye, there was a flash of thunder and he entered a brief state of summoning spirits.

Lightning danced on the blade, flickering like a snake-shaped arc.

"Thunder Prison!"

Lightning exploded, illuminating the entire void.

Fierce lightning exploded in all directions along the blade, and the entire thunder pool exploded directly into the body of the Staircase Ghost!

Under the lightning strike, the monster made up of countless palms twitched violently, and the skin formed by the squirming and squeezing of countless palms cracked, and black blood gushed out, evaporating into mist-like miasma in the air.

It let out a shrill wail and struggled desperately, but the more it struggled, the more intense the lightning flashed, until the huge BOSS took a full set of AOE damage. The whole monster let out a long wail, and then became motionless in the lightning, annihilated into ashes, and dissipated along with the ghost hands entangled on the stairs.

The world spun, and the stairs returned to normal.

The red crayon slowly floated back to Mizutani Makoto's palm, and its light dimmed. Mizutani Makoto glanced at it and felt that its spirit was slightly tired. It must have been over-consumed, so he had to let it rest.

Put it in your backpack and take good care of it.

At this point, Mizutani Makoto stood in front of the stairs, the Chidori Pill in his hand still emitting its residual power.

Everything is calm.

Soul +244

In the middle range, it is considered a relatively powerful monster.

"And it's a specialized type."

If he were to face the enemy normally with two katanas in hand and Niten Ichiryu, Mizutani Makoto really couldn't think of a particularly good way to deal with this kind of BOSS... After thinking about it, the only thing he could do was to use drugs and exchange his life with these BOSSes again and again.

However, Chidori has both numerical values ​​and extremely complete mechanisms, and even has the thunder attribute that can restrain evil spirits.

To deal with long-range enemies, use the Yatagarasu.

When dealing with a large enemy, find the right opportunity to fill it with the full Thunder Prison.

When dealing with a real BOSS, the kill line of the Eight Thunder God Itachi is ridiculously high.

Taking his little Chidori with him to explore the new land was like sitting in a wheelchair.

"The sky is clear and the rain has stopped."

As if she sensed Mizutani Makoto's inexplicable joy, the silver-haired girl emerged from the void accompanied by lightning, crossed her arms and stared at him for a few seconds, until Mizutani Makoto gave her a thumbs up, then she hummed lightly.

The "thirteenth staircase" that was originally hidden has now completely disappeared.

——[Spiritual Core of the Thirteenth Staircase]

Collect the spoils of this little BOSS.

Normally, it's time to search the small treasury of Staircase Ghost Story.

However, this time, Mizutani Makoto stopped.

"What's the noise?"

In his field of vision, a strange window suddenly popped up.

[In the distance, the sound of rippling lake water can be heard——]

Yoshiko Satori flew out of the amulet and was about to act as an automatically picked-up pet baby to help Mizutani Makoto search the place, but unexpectedly she also stopped and began to tremble all over as if she had a chill.

"No, big brother..."

"Suddenly I had a terrible feeling!"

Mizutani Makoto also realized this.

He had encountered similar prompts before—[In a corner, an angry roar was heard!]

Damn, isn’t this my brother Lion’s introduction line?

[You've been targeted——]

in the distance.

The surface of the artificial lake was completely still, like a dead mirror, reflecting the night sky and the strange, blood-red moon.

But the quiet lake water began to ripple at this moment.

Circles of ripples slowly spread out.

"Snapped!"

Next to the lake, the flickering streetlight went out completely.

Darkness suddenly fell.

Wow!

A pale, withered hand suddenly stretched out from the water and gripped the edge of the lakeshore tightly. Drops of water from the depths of the lake fell onto the shore, drop by drop, and a damp and fishy smell filled the air.

It was a corpse that crawled up from the deepest bottom of the lake.

The corpse's hair was wet and stuck to its face. There were no eyeballs in its eye sockets, only black and red liquid constantly flowing out.

There was a fatal cut on her throat, and blood was oozing out.

The corners of her mouth stretched to her ears, revealing a twisted and hideous smile.

Water stains, wet footprints.

Makoto Mizutani felt a strong sense of danger, and the strong sense of unease aroused his nerves. He did not care about the small treasury in the strange story on the stairs. He frowned, turned around and ran towards the senior high school building behind him, and went straight into the classroom. He observed the situation outside the teaching building through the window of the classroom, and found that there was a figure flashing towards him at an extremely fast speed in the distance.

It is "flashing".

Like a ghost, it disappears every time and then reappears in the distance, and each time it appears, the distance to the teaching building is quickly shortened.

"?"

What is this?

Mizutani Makoto was stunned for a moment, and the bad omen he felt became stronger and stronger.

With a wave of his hand, he put Satori Yoshiko into the amulet.

Then Mizutani Makoto no longer cared about the small treasury of the Staircase Ghost Story, and immediately ran out of the classroom and ran directly to the principal's office above the heads of the senior year.

How could I be stupid at this time?

Don't try to stop me from revealing the hidden storyline!

[Principal's Office - Unlocked]

Hurry up!

Mizutani Makoto didn't care what was in the principal's office. The most important thing was to hold up the candlestick high. When he saw footprints on the ground, he immediately ran over, kicked open the bookshelf blocking his way, and stuffed everything he could pick up inside into Tongzi's backpack.

Then, he immediately turned around and went straight to the principal's desk, where he found something similar to a diary. He didn't care whose diary it was and rolled it into Tongzi's backpack.

"Any more?"

Mizutani Makoto looked around. The decoration in the principal's office was extremely luxurious, with heavy and luxurious furniture, velvet curtains, old oil paintings hanging on the walls, and carpets so soft that they could almost swallow up the sound of footsteps. Even though the outside world was filtered by fire, this place was able to maintain its most complete appearance.

This is the biggest anomaly.

Mizutani Makoto was very sure of this and was about to continue searching - drawers, bookcases, under the floor... He had long been accustomed to the tradition of this crappy game, and there were definitely things hidden in many places.
