An Xinghe knew this girl. Wasn't she Otowa, the girl from earlier?
He didn't recognize the man.
Otowa said:
"Kato, did you buy me the lipstick I wanted?"
Chapter 74: I Lost My Limbs—the Ones You Cut Off Were My Head.
Otowa said:
"Kato, did you buy me the lipstick I wanted?"
An Xinghe felt that this scene was incredibly familiar! It happened to him all the time at university!
An Xinghe had a habit of deliberately going to the study room to play on his phone, so he wouldn't have to face the girls blocking the entrance to his dormitory.
However, as time went on, some girls would still find him, deliberately carrying two cups of milk tea:
"Xinghe, I bought you the extra-ice, extra-sugar milk tea you like."
"Ah, sorry. My period came, so I can't drink anything cold."
Or a girl would sit beside him:
"Xinghe, let's go out for a walk together."
"Ah, sorry. I just had my upper body amputated a couple of days ago, so I can't walk."
"It's fine. I can support you!"
"I had my upper body amputated."
Compared to him, Kato was extremely awkward under Otowa's questioning. He stammered:
"Otowa, I just bought you some foundation a few days ago. I really don't have any money left. Could you wait until I get my allowance next month?"
A trace of disdain flashed across Otowa's face, but she immediately replaced it with a smile and a sweet, coquettish tone:
"But Kato, I really, really want that lipstick! Think of something, okay~~"
Otowa shook Kato's body, pretending to do so casually as she rubbed her chest against him. Kato's face reddened even more:
"But Otowa, I really don't have any money left. I borrowed the money for the foundation..."
At that moment, Otowa's hand caressed Kato's lips.
Her voice was as sweet as honey, as seductive as that of a bewitching succubus:
"Kato, if you buy me the lipstick, I won't mind sharing it with you~"
"Come on, you must have a way, right?"
This hint, which was almost an outright proposition, completely worked Kato up. He immediately nodded:
"Don't worry! Otowa, even if I have to rob someone, I'll definitely get that lipstick for you!"
At that moment, the scene abruptly ended, and a photograph slowly drifted down into An Xinghe's hand.
It showed Kato and Otowa sitting together.
[Ding! Player An Xinghe has obtained the item Kato's Memory Fragment.] [Name: Kato's Memory Fragment] [Type: Quest Item (Photograph)] [Quality: Dilapidated] [Effect: None] [Can it be taken out of the scenario: No] [Note: As the saying goes, you buy your little sister lipstick, and your little sister makes you () red. All male compatriots are urged not to become simps!]
An Xinghe put the photograph away inside his clothes. He didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Kato's situation and immediately began searching Class 2-A.
Inside Kato's desk, An Xinghe found a newspaper.
In the most conspicuous spot on the newspaper, large characters proclaimed:
Sakurane Middle School Tragedy! Female Student Found Dead in Girls' Restroom! Specific Cause Still Under Investigation!
The accompanying picture showed the victim's silhouette.
From the hairstyle alone, An Xinghe could confirm that it was Otowa!
Combined with the line "Praise her quickly, praise her quickly" in the nursery-rhyme clue provided by the system, An Xinghe was ninety percent certain that the fourth ghost was Otowa!
Good grief. She had been this troublesome while alive, and she still wouldn't rest after death.
However, he hadn't finished searching the classroom. In one of the desks, An Xinghe also found a diary that could be opened!
[Name: Minami Ami's Notebook] [Type: Quest Item] [Quality: Dilapidated] [Effect: None] [Can it be taken out of the scenario: No] [Note: Who writes diaries like a respectable person?! Everyone writes notes!] [Notebook Contents: Shinoda died today. She was found dead in the abandoned Club Activity Room. Her eyes had been gouged out, and her hair had been shaved off. This is already the third death this month! I'm so scared! I don't want to come to school anymore! Everyone is saying that the dead Otowa Aki is taking revenge, looking for someone to accompany her down there. The principal is bringing someone to perform a ritual tomorrow. Hopefully they can drive away the Evil Ghost!]
An Xinghe keenly noticed the words "abandoned Club Activity Room." That should be where the ghost Otowa had become was wandering.
Now that he knew where the ghost was, An Xinghe wasted no time and followed the signs near the doors to find it.
He eventually stopped in front of a classroom labeled "Club Activity Room." A piece of paper was also pasted on the classroom door.
"This classroom has been abandoned! Do not use!"
Looking at those words, An Xinghe thought, Isn't this deliberately provoking people's rebellious instincts? If you really don't want anyone to enter, writing "Principal's Office" would be more effective than anything else!
While grumbling inwardly, An Xinghe pushed the door open.
Chapter 75: How Dare You Dirty My Clothes!
While grumbling inwardly, An Xinghe pushed the door open.
After taking only two steps inside, he felt a sinister wind swirling around him!
The door behind him automatically slammed shut with a "bang"! Women's laughter rang out throughout the room.
An Xinghe felt someone tugging on his clothes. Behind him, a woman's voice rang out:
"Hey, handsome, turn around and look at me. Do you think I'm beautiful?"
If it had been anyone else, they definitely wouldn't have dared turn around.
But An Xinghe, a man with courage enough to defy the heavens, wasn't afraid at all!
He casually turned around and looked at the humanoid monster before him.
Everything below her neck was a normal woman's body, but her head was a sphere made entirely of countless eyeballs, while her thick hair was like a tropical rainforest!
An Xinghe now understood why Shinoda, whom the notebook had mentioned, had had both her eyes gouged out and her hair torn away. It turned out that this ghost had made those features her own.
When the female ghost saw that An Xinghe didn't speak, her voice turned shrill as she asked again:
"Hey! Do you think I'm beautiful?!"
The system had already provided the answer to this question in the nursery rhyme. As long as he praised the female ghost enthusiastically, he could temporarily calm her resentment, which could be considered completing the quest.
An Xinghe blinked and said:
"Actually, I could completely ignore my conscience and aesthetic sense and praise you for being beautiful."
"But how the hell do you dare touch my clothes with your filthy hands?! That's absolutely unforgivable!!"
Under the female ghost's astonished gaze, An Xinghe pulled out a pair of enormous scissors! He shouted:
"Die, bitch!"
Deadly light burst from the tips of the scissors as they stabbed toward the female ghost's head!
The female ghost was no pushover either! She dodged An Xinghe's attack with a backward leap and shrieked:
"Stinking man! How dare you disrespect me! I'll kill you and take your eyes!"
The female ghost was just about to attack when she saw An Xinghe put away the scissors and clench his right hand into a fist.
The female ghost couldn't help laughing:
"Don't tell me you're planning to hit me with your little fist?! Hahaha! I'm so scared!"
An Xinghe ignored the female ghost's taunts and uttered three words:
"Hand of God!"
Hand of God, a Perfect-grade Skill. It summoned the Hand of God to launch one attack against a designated area, dealing five times as much damage to undead and dark-type monsters.
Livestream chat.
[The moment An Xinghe clenched his fist, I already knew how this would end.] [This female ghost is still laughing! What a shameless idiot, she's still laughing!] [She really doesn't know she's about to die!] [A Perfect-grade Skill! For the female ghost to die to this move, her ghostly life was worth it!]
