"When I went downstairs to move desks, a lot of people laughed at me."

……

4 month 26 day.

"My mother scolded me, saying that I always lose my shoes and waste money."

"I really didn't lose it."

……

4 month 31 day.

"I told the teacher about it."

"Teacher Aoki is very kind and responsible. He should be able to help me."

……

5 month 4 day.

"Aoki-sensei's attitude towards me has suddenly become so cold. Did I do something wrong?"

"He told me not to cause trouble and to get along well with my classmates, but I didn't cause any trouble."

……

5 month 6 day.

"I saw who did it!"

"It's Takahashi-san! She threw away my shoes and desk and chair. It turns out it was her all along."

"Why? I already told her I'm not interested in Endo-kun anymore, how could she do this?"

……

5 month 7 day.

"How could the teacher be so biased towards Takahashi?"

……

5 month 8 day.

"Kobayashi secretly told me that Takahashi is the daughter of a prefectural councilor, and the teachers don't dare to discipline her much. She's the one who's been arranging people to target me behind the scenes."

Why is she so domineering?

"I have never offended her."

……

5 month 10 day.

“I want to transfer schools, but my family… my mom doesn’t have that much money. Right now, we get scholarships for special admissions every semester, which also waive other fees. If I transfer schools, we won’t have that money.”

"what should I do?"

……

5 month 11 day.

"The other students in the class started targeting me too."

"They're so mean! It's clearly Takahashi's fault, why are they targeting me?"

……

5 month 12 day.

“Takahashi knows that I know she was the one who secretly plotted this.”

"She slapped Kobayashi five times and dumped garbage on my head."

……

5 month 15 day.

"I was beaten up in the toilet today."

……

5 month 26 day.

"I knelt down and apologized to Takahashi-san, begging her to forgive me."

"So many people were watching, how embarrassing! So embarrassing!"

……

5 month 27 day.

"Takahashi-kun has finally forgiven me!"

"She promised me that as long as I listen to her, she won't bully me anymore."

……

6 month 3 day.

"That's outrageous! They went out to eat and I had to pay for it."

……

6 month 27 day.

"I can't ask Mom for money anymore!"

“I need to go out and find a job. I think a coffee shop is hiring temporary workers.”

……

The following entries in the diary are all expressions of the victim's venting and complaints.

Whenever she was bullied in a certain situation, the victim... namely Himuro Rui, would write down the specific incident and complain about it.

Her mindset seems to be becoming increasingly radical.

Midway through, she was bullied by Takahashi and his gang for several months because she didn't have money to pay for others' meals.

After going through this cycle several times, she ultimately chose to commit suicide.

Her suicide attempt failed, and her mother took her to the hospital.

Born into a single-parent family, she only had her mother as a relative.

She knew about her family's financial situation, so she kept it to herself at school and didn't tell her family.

Now, not saying anything is not an option.

After that, Himuro Rui successfully transferred to another school.

This concludes my diary entry.

Things seem to be moving in a positive direction, but... is that really the case?

A diary... but it's only half full.

Logically speaking, there's a second half to discover.

Surely the second half of the book can't all be a record of Rui Himuro's wonderful life, right?

"We've finished looking at it, you should take a look too."

Fan Xiao threw half of the diary at Luo Hao.

Luo Hao took it and read it with Tu Shang.

At this moment, Mercury frowned and said, "Just as you... guessed. This diary does indeed evoke emotional resonance."

He pinched the bridge of his nose, a look of exhaustion on his face: "After reading this half of the book, I'm almost getting depressed! The students at Qingshan Academy are really weird. They've driven a perfectly normal person to this state."

"The diary doesn't mention how to leave Green Mountain Prison," Guan Yao asked. "Could the method be in the second half of the book?"

"It should be right."

Fan Xiao nodded: "Since the victim has a habit of keeping a diary, she must have recorded what happened afterward, such as when she discovered the cursed game and devised a plan to let everyone play it together."

"The clue we're looking for is most likely in the second half of the diary."

Chapter 304 The Identity of the Dungeon Boss

"The second half of the diary... if nothing unexpected happens, the second half should be in the classroom where the victim is located."

Mercury, resting his smooth chin on one hand, speculated, "Since there's no danger here with the lockers, the situation in the classroom is probably similar."

"The only danger we might encounter is the monsters roaming in Green Mountain Prison."

"So...we're going there now?"

“Your idea is too optimistic,” Guan Yao shook her head: “Don’t forget, the dungeon boss hasn’t appeared yet.”

"The dungeon boss doesn't necessarily have to come out and kill players."

Mercury cautioned, "I've experienced dungeons where the boss didn't attack at all."

"Besides, we'll be able to gather all the clues soon, so we naturally need to hurry up and get things done."

"I know the past is the past."

Guan Yao said, "What I mean is, should we set up a signal first to lure the others over and follow us?"

"I'm a little worried about the classroom; there might be some unexpected danger."

"For example... a dungeon boss suddenly appears or something."

"If the monsters in Green Mountain Prison are this strong, the dungeon bosses must be tough too. I think we should be more cautious."

"Bring them over..."

Mercury said thoughtfully, "We did plan to come here to the lockers, but that was based on our expectation of encountering great danger."

"There's no danger here with the lockers, but there might be danger in the classroom. If we lure other people over here, they might try to take the other half of the notebook from us."

"Don't forget, we're the only ones who know where the laptop is right now. That's our advantage, and we can't give it up easily."

"This is indeed a difficult decision..."

Guan Yao frowned and glanced at Tu Shang.

Tu Shang, who had just finished reading the diary, shook his head.

Luo Hao also raised his head and said, "I'll listen to him."

He pointed at Fan Xiao.

Seeing this, everyone turned their attention to Fan Xiao.

Guan Yao reminded her, "Only you know the location of the clue, so you should decide on this."

They were unaware of the information that the victim was Himuro Rui, and naturally, they also didn't know where the target classroom was.

On the other side, Fan Xiao showed no reaction to Guan Yao's suggestion and the gazes of everyone.

Guan Yao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm... I'm thinking about some things."

Fan Xiao came to his senses.

Just now, he roughly deduced the truth about the dungeon boss.

"We only found half a diary in the locker. The other half should be in the classroom."

"Diaries written separately...could they be a metaphor for lives separated?"

"This side of the lockers represents the bullied past, while that side of the classroom... represents the revenge of the present?"

"Speaking of which, Himuro Rui, who is at Aoyama Academy, is clearly a little girl who doesn't remember anything... or rather, she is the Himuro Rui of the past, and doesn't have any memories of the present."

"From this perspective, it is likely that the current Himuro Rui exists in the Green Mountain Prison—a pure spirit of vengeance, who is also the boss of this instance."

"The Himuro Rui in the past was not dangerous. She was a timid little girl, so the locker where the past diary is hidden is safe and it matches up."

"The classroom area... is probably very dangerous. It's where the Spirit of Vengeance or the dungeon boss is located. If we go to the classroom to look for clues, there's a high chance we'll directly enter the final battle."
