I Once, in a State of Extreme Wrath...

Bai Zhi lifted the black cloth covering the posters and glanced at the posters on the wall.

The other two paintings were largely unchanged from when he first saw them, except for the one of the little boy, which had clearly changed.

The little boy who was sitting at the table doing his homework was now lying face down on the ground, covered in a pile of junk, and with several large bumps on his head.

"... Did you put something in there?"

Bai Zhi put down the black cloth, turned his head to look at the Night Owl sitting on the bed, and his expression was quite strange.

"I tried it out a little... and now I finally believe what they say online."

She pulled the blanket tighter around herself and Night Owl softly.

"When people are extremely angry, they are indeed capable of doing anything... What are you doing?"

"Come on, let's do some math problems!!"

Bai Zhi handed the pen to the other person with a generous expression.

"... I'm not in a state of extreme anger right now."

Faced with the expectant gaze of the person in front of him, the Night Owl turned his head away expressionlessly.

"I'm Player of the same level as you, do you really think I have no combat power other than that Skill? I'm not just some pretty face."

"But I remember you were supposed to be very timid."

Shrugging, Bai Zhi got off the bed.

Will a person die if blood flows from all seven orifices?

"Hmm... no."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi shook his head.

"So what's the connection between me Little Love and wanting to beat up that brat?"

The Night Owl spoke in a low, wistful tone.

"No."

Bai Zhi sat down on the chair next to the bed with unusual decisiveness.

"Tell me more about what exactly happened to you before?"

"..."

What kind of unforgettable experience would it be to have your room filled with beings you can't see?

As the flashing of the streetlights became more and more frequent, and the room grew colder and colder, the Night Owl knew clearly that if he didn't do something soon, he would truly be waiting to die once his body froze.

The Protective Shield activated by the [Holy Spirit Pendant] can keep those strange things out, but it cannot raise the temperature around her. And sitting idly by or hoping for rescue is never her style.

Even during the Novice Quest, she dared to overcome her mental block and rush into the Mirror World with a knife; how much more so now, after experiencing so many Anomaly Incident?

Player and Anomaly are mutually attracted. Night Owl's Level six wasn't achieved by simply winning all the way up. Just as she herself said, although she's timid, she's definitely not just a pretty face.

So, with the Protective Shield of the [Holy Spirit Pendant] activated, she grabbed the [Street Lamp Flower] and Kitchen Knife, and went to the posters on the wall.

After interacting with the outside world, those posters ceased to be posters. Once the Protective Shield eliminated external interference, it was quite easy for beings outside the image to deal with those inside.

"... So you're not sure whether those things left or not?"

After hearing the Night Owl's story, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

"Let's go. Those ghostly things are mainly invisible and there are a lot of them, but they're actually quite easy to deal with."

The Night Owl curled his lip.

"But the Weather Doll) behind you keeps spinning."

Bai Zhi leaned out and pointed behind the other person.

"... because a few people stayed behind and are trying their best to eat Potato."

She pointed to the Walnut beside the bed, and there seemed to be a faint glimmer of tears in the Night Owl's eyes.

Because the pain could temporarily make her forget her fear, she made her already somewhat better left hand injury worse... She was so in pain that she cried.

"The Walnut is okay for taunting a single enemy, but it's practically useless against a large number of them. After all, the Walnut only works on enemy units in front of it... Can you even take down those guys? It's been so long and you haven't even eaten a single nut. It's embarrassing."

"Hmm..."

After giving the other person a thoughtful look, Bai Zhi glanced at the nuts by the bed, then pulled out his Handgun and fired a few shots in that direction based on his instincts.

--Amid the gunshots, wisps of smoke rose into the air.

"... This is what happened in our room yesterday."

Resting his chin on the table, the Night Owl spoke in a muffled voice.

I have a question.

PrayerUnderDreams raised her hand very seriously.

"Your room was freezing cold. How did you keep warm at night?"

"I have a lot of blankets in my Inventory."

Bai Zhi turned his head and glanced at PrayerUnderDreams, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

It was 7:30 a. m., and everyone gathered at the table as usual.

Because Bai Zhi and Night Owl were dressed in rather extravagant cotton-padded clothes when they appeared in the morning, they instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"As time goes on, although the points you get increase, the Game becomes more dangerous. Last night, I was tormented by the Game all night long."

Shin Mutenja yawned, his eyes clearly Heavenless Heretic, and he looked rather listless.

"Rather than avoiding Anomaly attacks through playing Game, I personally prefer to face the strange attacks directly... at least it won't be so tiring."

What Game are you playing?

Seeing that Heavenless Heretic was clearly indulging in excessive pleasure, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh, the Flower That Blooms in the Mirror."

"..."

As soon as Heavenless Heretic uttered those words, the other three, except for Night Owl, fell into an eerie silence.

"... Big brother, you're my true big brother!!"

After scrutinizing Heavenless Heretic's face, PrayerUnderDreams with admiration.

"Brother, you've been fighting hard all night, your back must be aching. Let me give you a massage... Would you mind sharing some so-called details with me?"

"... It's not the kind of battle you're imagining."

Seeing PrayerUnderDreams, Heavenless Heretic hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.

"In short... cough cough, you know, how could you possibly share something like this in public?"

Before he could finish speaking, as if he had thought of something, Heavenless Heretic coughed a few times.

"The Flower That Blooms in the Mirror is just that—it's all the same thing. How can a verbal description compare to the excitement of experiencing it firsthand?"

Heavenless Heretic had a serious expression on his face.

"Therefore, I would suggest you try it yourself."
