However, Sakurai really couldn't just watch them die.

There is no other way. If this is the case, we have to change our strategy.

It's like I'm watching a certain timeline unfold, and now I can only complete this game with them.

He quickly sent a message to Yotsuya Miko, asking her to find a nearby coffee shop or go home directly.

After sighing twice, rubbing his face hard twice, then revealing an extremely Asian smile, Sakurai picked up Xiao Yexiao and ran away.

After that....

"Well, although it may be a bit presumptuous to say this, if you don't mind, can you play this game with us?"

The brother and sister (master and apprentice) duo suddenly appeared and said this before the cursed ceremony of "Happy Sachiko" began.

This is...

Among the countless timelines, this is the quickest and most convenient development that Sakurai has seen.

What happens next is not something he can know.

Sakurai's ability to read future timelines isn't that convenient yet.

......

......

This world, in this inner world called Tenshin Elementary School, is filled with some extremely strange and negative aura.

In other words, it comes from the resentment and malice of a certain person.

The spirits of humans who are still alive here are constantly being polluted.

Until all hope is lost, or until you completely succumb to the severe negative emotions in your heart, and then...

They will suffer a mental breakdown or degeneration at the fastest speed.

That is, the so-called [darkness].

It's not the darkening in ACGN terms.

The darkening of Tenjin Elementary School is, to be specific, a certain [phenomenon] that is unique to this otherworld.

A person who has turned evil may become completely emotionless, or may kill others unconsciously.

In other words, becoming a slave controlled by negative emotions.

When a person finishes his dark transformation, he will lose all the memories during the dark transformation.

Even if you kill someone, you will completely forget it.

In such a world, you either get killed or kill others.

Anyone who accidentally enters this world will have this fate.

No surprises so far.

What a funny place...

There is no need for such an inner world to exist.

Sakurai knew that most of the other worlds would cause great mental pollution to the living.

But this was the first time he had seen a world polluted to this extent.

I always feel...

Maybe there is a terrible secret hidden here.

Sakurai narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned slightly. With Sakurai's vision, he understood the situation here at a glance.

At the same time, he also understood that he must hurry up and conquer this world.

So...

Next, we have to take the initiative.

Find all the people involved here before it's too late.

Protection of the innocent and punishment of the guilty.

The unforgivable crimes were executed on the spot.

Contrary to what the bartender thought, Sakurai was not averse to killing.

But if possible, he would rather the blood on the tip of the knife was from someone other than a human.

I don’t know what the situation is like at Xiao Ye Xiao.

In such a negative atmosphere, if one cannot take the position of a ruler who controls the supernatural as a fighting force like Xiao Yexiao does, then the subdued supernatural beings may rebel against him.

No, am I really disturbed by resentment?

It’s not my turn to worry about the midnight snack.

The defense system composed of more than a thousand spirits can transfer all the damage suffered by Xiao Yexiao to Xingdai.

In a situation where they themselves would be harmed, given their selfish nature and their determination to find a way to survive at all costs.

No supernatural being dared to attack Xiao Ye Xiao in a way that would result in mutual destruction.

Not to mention that even if someone is determined to burn their boats, in order to avoid being harmed, the remaining spirits will try to stop it at the first opportunity to avoid getting hurt themselves.

This is what I should have known on the first day. Why am I still worrying about something of this magnitude now?

And besides——

Xiao Yexiao has two great spirits, the Ghost Sergeant and the Self-Slaying Boy, to protect him.

Perhaps other spirits may fall, but they who still stick to their nature and kindness in this world will never fall.

What I have to do is to believe that Xiao Yexiao can handle things on her side.

Sakurai told himself this and looked into the distance, where...

The atmosphere of darkness is particularly strong.

Let's leave the destination there for now. I want to see what happens.

70.Tianjin Primary School - Girlfriend Group

Time goes back to a while ago.

Let's return our focus to the duo of best friends Shinohara Yoshiko and Nakajima Naomi (who have two identities: the corrupted and the uncorrupted).

Walking in the corridor with an inexplicably gloomy atmosphere, looking at the bumpy and old ground.

Naomi Nakajima shuddered inexplicably, not knowing if it was her illusion, as if something was staring at her from a corner.

An extremely strange, creepy, and terrifying gaze was always watching her and Shinohara Yoko from somewhere she couldn't see.

"Anyway, find a way to get out of here quickly."

She rubbed her arms vigorously twice, telling herself that she was just overthinking this unfamiliar place. Naomi Nakajima, who didn't even know what she was afraid of, whispered to Shinohara Seiko, who was half a step behind her.

Then he took the lead and walked forward.

However, his steps were a little slow, and his twisting and turning looked particularly unnatural.

At this time, Shinohara Seiko realized belatedly that there seemed to be something wrong with Naomi Nakajima's feet.

"Um, what happened to Naomi's feet?"

Looking at Naomi Nakajima's slightly red and swollen ankle, Shinohara Yoshiko expressed her concern loudly.

"Nothing, just a slight sprain."

Naomi Nakajima, who has a strong personality and is not much less competitive than boys, doesn't think this is a big deal.

He just turned his head and answered her casually.

She doesn't want to cause unnecessary worry to people around her because of her problems.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Looking at Naomi Nakajima with concern, if she didn't have some common sense, Shinohara Yoshiko would have almost pounced on her to confirm it herself.

Just as Naomi Nakajima was about to answer simply that she had no problem, she seemed to see a little girl with black hair and red clothes, with her head lowered, exuding an extremely strange aura.

When Naomi Nakajima looked down along the blind spot with her eyes wide open, all she saw was a bumpy corridor made of wooden boards full of holes.

Yes...

Was it because I was too nervous that I saw it wrong?

"It's okay, I can still walk."

After pausing for half a second, she said nonchalantly that she was fine.

At the same time, he did not tell Shinohara Yoshiko what he had just seen.

He turned around and began to explore the unfamiliar place.

but...

This uneasiness and inexplicable fear in her heart were like a poisonous snake that kept biting her body.

Unknowingly, Naomi Nakajima became...

It was starting to get a little weird.

"Don't you think the teacher's desk and chair just now..."

“A little small?”

Even Shinohara Yoshiko had sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere. In order to break this somewhat weird vibe, she took the initiative to speak and tried to reason about their current situation.

I hope my ideas can be conveyed to Naomi Nakajima.

"yes."

Naomi Nakajima answered her with a limp, somewhat absent-minded.

I am still immersed in my own world, as if...

In the blind spot of her vision, the little girl in red clothes was following her like a shadow, and she couldn't get rid of her no matter what.
