My Avatar is the Heroine

Extremely rare individuals may be thrown into nearby worlds due to coordinate intersections. Special forces have the ability to deploy individuals to invade other worlds. Both of these are extremely low risk and not worth much concern.

"Alright, so you're saying I can just ignore it completely?"

Yes, unless you don't want the clone reward.

"..."

How could she not want the reward? Yukino realized the system had her completely trapped.

Chapter 70: A Hospital with a Bizarre Art Style

As time ticked by, the sky gradually darkened.

Bored from staying in the hospital, Yukino first downloaded a few light novels, only to find the content utterly dull, so she switched to playing a mini-game.

Throughout this process, the hospital's atmosphere grew increasingly eerie.

The lights dimmed further, the walls aged and became more decrepit, even sprouting patches of moss. The passing nurses vanished without notice, and the scene slowly took on a chilling, sinister tone.

"Why do I feel like I've fallen into a horror story?"

She couldn't help but feel a bit tense.

Around 8:30 PM, Yukino's head spun with dizziness, and then her mind seemed to open up like a strategic map, allowing her to overlook the entire hospital from above.

She noticed that some rooms that had been full of patients were now completely empty.

Space isolation complete.

You have acquired Strategic Vision.

Obtained item: Data-assisted ability. Please await the arrival of Otherworld invaders.

Amid the system's prompts, Yukino Yukinoshita got out of bed and walked to the hospital room door. Peering out this time, she saw the corridor had transformed into the style of an old, last-century hospital. The lightbulbs overhead flickered intermittently, and her own skin, in this setting, looked unnaturally pale and sickly.

"Hmm, kind of pretty."

Looking at herself in the old mirror, her beauty was almost eerily striking.

"What is this..."

Just as she was about to ask the system, on the fourth-floor hallway above, a woman in a doctor's uniform suddenly went mad, lunging at a female nurse and biting her head.

The scene instantly turned bloody.

The nurse she bit collapsed, but after a short while, she staggered back to her feet. Her skin took on a dull, grayish hue, her hair disheveled, like a vengeful spirit from a horror film.

When Yukino's gaze landed on the female doctor's head, a small line of green text appeared above her:

Designated Quirk User (BOSS), Quirk: Ghost. Effect: After going mad, becomes an extremely powerful specter that bites living creatures indiscriminately. Those bitten by her turn into evil ghosts for 3 hours.

"I see, so I need to drive the Otherworld invaders to that mad female doctor?"

As Yukino pondered, two strangers abruptly appeared on the first floor.

One was a man in an ordinary black jacket, wearing a dark round hat. The other was a woman in plain jeans, around twenty years old, with a delicate silver pistol holstered at her waist.

"A hospital?" The man in black opened his eyes and muttered immediately.

He quickly scanned the surroundings and then asserted, "Looks like a Supernatural instance. You've got Exorcism items on you, right?"

"Yeah, two boxes of bullets, 24 rounds." The woman nervously drew her gun, her face pale. "I've only done one mission before. Last time, I had a really strong teammate; I survived thanks to his protection."

"Then you'll need to pull your weight this time. Supernatural instances are the most dangerous—full of phenomena science can't explain. If you don't stay alert, you won't even know how you died."

The man pulled out a long curved blade from his person, cut his finger, smeared some blood on it, and then strode deeper into the hospital.

Yukino observed that the first floor was empty. Since the elevator was broken, the only way up was the stairs to the second floor.

But right at the stairs, there was a death flag—only by following clues, retrieving a key from a safe, and unlocking an iron door could one safely avoid death.

If someone pushed the door open without the key, they'd die instantly.

To her surprise, the man deduced the safe's password from patient photos in the files combined with their death dates, safely reaching the second floor.

All of this took less than five minutes.

"Damn, a high-IQ talent?" Yukino was genuinely impressed.

On the second floor, two nurses turned into ghosts roamed the hallway.

The man carefully led his teammate past the nurses' line of sight and entered a room.

But as they neared the bed, a withered, grotesque hand shot out from under the blanket, grabbing the woman accompanying him.

"Ah."

She screamed in panic, raising her weapon to shoot, but the man stopped her.

"Don't panic—it might be a clue."

Under her terrified gaze, the man slowly approached the bed, cautiously lifted the blanket, and revealed an elderly man with sunken eyes and a skeletal frame.

Yukino frowned slightly.

When she was admitted, she'd heard that an old man in the oncology department downstairs was near death, hooked up to an IV, unable to move at all—quite pitiful. Could this be him?

"Old sir, could you let go of your hand?" The man raised his knife, asking cautiously.

"She... my granddaughter... call her down." The old man's mouth opened hoarsely, his voice very weak.

"Granddaughter?"

"She... upstairs."

After saying this, the old man slowly released his grip. The woman quickly stepped back, still shaken.

"Looks like this is the clue." The man let out a sigh of relief. "Let's keep going up. This hospital has five floors—probably gets more dangerous the higher we go."

"Alright... alright."

The two continued on, but when they opened a door, a little girl standing inside let out a scream that was practically noise. Then two female nurses in the hallway turned their heads in unison and charged at them.

The man, startled, grabbed the woman's hand and ran, but the nurse ghosts blocked their path.

After a fight that left a few scratches on them, they finally reached the third floor—Yukino's floor—escaping the danger below.

"That's why I hate supernatural instances—way too scary." The man recalled the encounter and couldn't help shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Inside the ward, Yukino rubbed her chin and guessed, "From what that old man said, it seems the so-called granddaughter is me."

There was nothing on this floor—just her, all alone.

Yukino didn't wait long before the man and woman from that other world pushed open the door to her ward.

Pushing the door open, the two found... a pale-skinned girl quietly leaning against the headboard. Her jet-black hair cascaded down, and her eyes sparkled like gems, as if she were a doll. Even just her profile radiated a breathtaking beauty.

They froze at the door, hesitant to enter.

After a few seconds, the man took a deep breath and whispered, "This is probably the best-looking one we've seen since entering the hospital. Must be the old man's granddaughter, right?"

The woman's eyelids twitched. "Going by the usual rules of horror games, anyone this pretty is usually a dangerous ghost. And this one... don't you think she's too beautiful?"

"True, her art style is completely different from the nurses'."

Chapter 71: The Quietly Concluded Incident

"Should we go up?" The man cast a questioning look at the frightened woman.

"Boss, don't ask me—I'm so scared I'm about to piss my pants."

The two were stuck in hesitation.

But the man was clearly a seasoned "player." He took out a disc-like device and probed the room with it.

"No reaction. That means she's either a ghost too weak for us to imagine, or an ordinary girl... and the former is basically impossible."

"So, she's an ordinary girl?" The woman's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yeah, I'll go test it out."

Summoning his courage, the man stepped into the room step by step.

Based on past experience, he figured this room wouldn't have any death flags—it was probably a plot trigger point.

And he was right.

Yukino, sitting blankly on the bed, turned her head, coughed weakly, and said in a feeble voice, "Is there something you need, Uncle?"

"Uncle?" The address was a bit unfamiliar, but the girl's voice was too pleasant, and the smile on her weak face was both beautiful and heartbreaking.

"Is the old man downstairs your grandfather? He's calling for you."

"Sorry, I can't leave right now. If you're willing to go upstairs and find the Mad Doctor, collect a bowl of blood from her body, then I'll do as you ask."

"A bowl of the Mad Doctor's blood?"

The man frowned but still said, "Alright, we'll go do that for you."

"Thank you very much."

Leaving the room, the woman wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and said bitterly, "Even if she's an ordinary girl, she's definitely not normal."

The man shrugged and pointed upward. "Let's keep going."

When they reached the fourth floor, they immediately encountered the Female Doctor and over a dozen nurses, doctors, and patients she had turned into ghosts.

A brutal battle erupted on that floor. The woman's ordinary bullets couldn't harm the enemy—only her 24 Exorcism bullets had any effect. Meanwhile, the man swung his long blade, unleashing astonishing combat power, quickly cutting down several ghosts.

The fight raged across the entire floor for a long time. The man and woman soon suffered heavy injuries, but in the end, he chopped off the Female Doctor's head with one strike.

Specified Quirk user (BOSS) dead.

"I..."

Yukino was dumbfounded.

Wasn't the plan to guide these two otherworldly visitors to that Quirk user, let him deal with them, and be done with it? How had he ended up dead instead?

When the two finished their fight and limped down from upstairs, Yukino's heart began to pound.

And then, the system prompt finally arrived.

Quirk user identity reassigned. You have been designated as BOSS by the World Will.

"Me?"

Yukino's expression froze for a moment. She hadn't expected to be named the boss.

But... it really did seem to be her.

No time to think—because the two had already returned to the hospital room door.

They were drenched in blood, limping as they appeared before her. Yukino turned her head calmly. "Did you bring the blood?"

"No blood." The man's expression was highly guarded.

It had already been strange enough that this stunningly beautiful girl needed blood. Then they'd gone upstairs, fought, and chopped off the Female Doctor's head—only to find she was a bloodless monster.

That meant the task Yukino had given them was flawed from the start.

"None? I see... The doctor really had turned into a true monster." She feigned disappointment.

"Why do you need blood to leave this place?" The man signaled his teammate to raise the pistol. Only three Exorcism bullets remained.

Staring down the dark muzzle of the gun, Yukino's heart instantly tightened.

She pretended to be harmless, hugging her knees, her voice fragile. "I never wanted blood at all. I just wanted you to check if the doctor was still normal. But she... had already become a monster."

The two exchanged a glance, but the man didn't let his guard down.
