Information Left Behind by the Previous Batch of Players

Although the Underground Library contains a large number of books, the Players searched for them quite quickly.

About an hour later, Fireworks of Romance found a black hard-covered Notebook in the far corner of a bookshelf.

"... There were actually some left behind?"

Looking at the Notebook in front of him, which was clearly different from the other books in the collection, Fireworks of Romance was obviously stunned.

"It's quite normal. If any of the Player before us were even slightly smart, they would naturally use this method to leave information for those who come after them... Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of it being a fluke."

Shrugging, Bai Zhi snatched the Notebook from in front of the other person.

Looks like you're in luck.

"Hey, I found that!!"

Seeing that the Notebook she had spent so much time finding, which she hadn't even touched, had been taken away by the other party, Fireworks of Romance was immediately furious.

"Really? But it's mine now."

Bai Zhi waved his hand, turned around, and walked towards the table.

"Consider it you returning the favor to me... Alright, those who are interested can come and take a look together, those who aren't can continue searching."

After making this announcement to everyone, Bai Zhi sat down at the table with the Notebook in his hand. Without waiting for the others to gather around, Bai Zhi directly opened the Notebook.

This Notebook looks thick just by the number of pages, but most of it is blank. Only on the very first few pages are there a few scattered sentences of varying lengths.

[This is a terrible Dungeon. I'm starting to doubt if I'll even make it out of here alive. Shift!! I shouldn't have gotten involved in this Campaign Quest!]

The initial fragments recorded words full of complaints from the Notebook's Master.

"This guy's English seems to be a bit weak..."

As he muttered to himself, Bai Zhi turned to a new page.

[This is a castle that retains a strong medieval style. There is only one living person inside, or rather, I don't know if she is even alive... Anna, according to her introduction, her name is Anna, and she welcomes us to her castle.]

[Someone died. He was our first victim. I think he deserved to die because he had the audacity to try and molest Anna... Damn pedophile!! Good riddance!!]

[Although I know Anna is Anomaly, Anna's so cute and polite. Who could resist a Blonde Loli in Princess dress? No way? No way? No way? Hmm, I hope Anna doesn't kill me...]

[I'm starting to feel a little uneasy because someone else has died. This time, the cause of death was his request to Anna that there be Lights in the castle. Anna granted his request, but he couldn't pay the price and was turned into a doll... In this castle, there's a constant principle of Equivalent Exchange. It seems I'll have to be extra careful with my words from now on...]

[Damn it, when exactly were we Curse? Because of the continuous deaths, some people tried to escape from the castle, and I joined the escape group. But when they entered that forest full of Doll, I, at the back, saw their bodies slowly turn into Doll... Luckily, I didn't take that step, but the others were doomed. I don't know if they'll ever make it out of that Forest.]

[Another person has died. They were found dead in the hall this morning, dismembered, but the scene was strangely comical, considering it was just a Doll... I suddenly feel a little worried about myself because it seems noisy outside tonight; I think I heard voices.]

"Like the Colorful Black, were they all found dead in the hall in the morning...?"

Bai Zhi frowned slightly and continued reading.

[I wasn't the one whose wish was granted by Anna today. Let's all congratulate that guy; he got a whole set of Rare Level Equipment... I heard that lucky people have extremely short lifespans?]

[That Lucky One died. In Anna's Game, he was caught by the Big Cat and torn in two. It was horrific... Luckily, it was just a doll, so there wasn't any gory or gruesome scene. The places to hide are dwindling.]

[Well, there are actually a few Big Shot in the team. During Anna's Hide and Seek Game, they actually teamed up and took down the giant Plush Cat. Then Anna ran upstairs crying, wiping her tears and lifting her skirt. The dangerous Game ended just like that... Big Shot, please let me cling to your coattails _(:з"∠)_]

[That giant Plush Cat has come back to life, and Anna has resumed her hunting Game. Those big Big Shot seem to be gathered together, discussing how to take Anna down next. It's a bit of a shame... I'm not thinking of some kind of perverted opportunist!!]

[... Something terrible has happened. Those big Big Shot successfully killed Anna and the resurrected Plush Cat, but in the blink of an eye, Anna came back to life, along with the Plush Cat beneath her. Even though their heads had been severed for safety, and their bodies were hacked to pieces, how could they still revive... Is Anna immortal?]

[Because of the attacks launched against Anna by those Big Shot, Anna was enraged. She created a brand new Game called the Duel Arena, and the Player she chose were to kill Anna in the Duel Arena... Anna gave them a fair chance to fight.]

[... Bad news. Anna seems to truly be immortal. Even though those Big Shot have many tricks up their sleeves and their strength is beyond our expectations, I think no one can defeat Monster that can resurrect infinitely, even if it's burned to ashes.]

It's best not to go out at night...

After this entry, the subsequent records became fragmented, and the writing style became unusually erratic. The originally neat handwriting became crooked and illegible.

[Impossible, there's no way we can leave this castle... I heard it, I heard the Plush Cat walking past my room, I'm about to be found--]

--The handwriting was so forceful it tore through the paper.
