The gray stone is only the size of a soybean and is round throughout. I picked it up, and the diamond mark began to heat up again, and the gray stone melted in the palm of my hand, seeping into my skin.

I watched with trepidation as the indoctrination of the diamond-shaped mark began to kick in. This gray stone is strengthening my physique.

This is a miraculous substance, its formation and use are all diamond-shaped imprints actively functioning, I have no way of knowing how the stone and my body interact in this process, but the effect is very significant, after three seconds, the pain all over my body is rapidly healing, the muscles are like a rubber tire with sufficient qi, and every sensory function is beyond the usual best state.

I almost believe that I can easily defeat the World Champion of Boxing.

I flipped my axe, and it was much lighter, and it didn't seem to be an illusion.

I decided to continue with my original plan, and if there was a key to the big iron gate, it would most likely be in the ghost dog's guard.

It stayed on the right side of the hallway before it attacked me, and I kept walking forward, and soon I saw a door sign that said "Director's Office".

It was opposite the room at the left end of the previous hallway. The door was open crookedly, the screwbuckle at the top had fallen off, and the wood was full of cracks.

Before you even walked in, you could smell the smell of blood and rancid smell stronger than before. His gaze swept hurriedly, and although there were no monsters that suddenly jumped out, there was a group of more annoying creatures.

A swarm of buzzing flies pressed down like a black cloud in the depths of the hall.

I was mentally prepared, but I couldn't help but retch when I saw the pile of objects around them.

Human corpses were piled up like leftovers. Some of the bones were still intact, the white ones were licked to the brim, some had been chewed to pieces, and even more unbearable were the stinking and rotting limbs and entrails of those who had eaten half of the meat.

I can imagine the ghost dog crawling here like a yard dog, lazily munching on its trophies.

In it I saw several familiar school uniforms.

It's so pitiful, but such a miserable end makes people unable to raise the interest in collecting the bones, and I am deeply afraid that I almost became one of them.

The scene and the smell almost stunned me. I covered my nose and mouth as hard as I could, rummaging through boxes and cabinets as if I were running for my life, sticking to the wall on the other side as I could, careful not to wake them up if I was not careful.

Two separate keys were found in the small bedroom, and a keychain with a total of sixteen keys.

One of them, I guess, was a car key, but none of them looked like a big iron door, which made me feel a little unwilling. I had rummaged as carefully as I could, and finally found a revolver full of six bullets in the dark layer of a drawer, and after finding nothing more, I made my way to the door.

I stuck my revolver behind the waistband of my pants and flipped my shirt out to cover it. The school's autumn uniform is a two-piece one, consisting of a coat and a lining. In fact, many students wear the liner as a summer school uniform.

As soon as he left the door of the room, a figure suddenly jumped out of the staircase. I was startled, thinking it was a new monster until I could see her face.

She greeted me as soon as she came up.

Unexpectedly, she is a very attractive woman. Like a college student, like a social person, he is in the transition between the two, full of ambiguous age.

He was wearing a red sports jacket and black gym pants, and the zipper of the jacket was not closed, revealing the white sports vest inside. The long hair is tied into a ponytail, the abdomen is exposed, the chest is large, the skin is smooth and elastic, and the whole body exudes youthful and healthy vitality.

I couldn't restrain my surprise, and she was visibly surprised, and her body tensed.

"Ah...... Hello, nice to meet you. ”

I'm not lying, and I'm so happy to see other people alive in this depressing place.

That's when I remembered that the Red Monster had said, "Congratulations, you're the first person to beat the level here." "That's the case

It's the first, not the last.

However, those who come after will probably not encounter ghost dogs again, it is really the predecessors who planted trees and the descendants who enjoyed the shade.

She stared straight at me and didn't speak.

"Luckily, if you come earlier, it will be troublesome." I said bluntly.

I immediately regretted it.

The woman took a few steps back, as if I were a man-eating devil.

"I have no ill will." I hurriedly took a few steps back and explained, "My name is Takakawa, and you are the first person I see alive. ”

"Living?" She stared at me suspiciously.

"Everyone who came here is dead, but I'm the only one who survives."

"You killed them?" Her face still had the same look of confusion and wariness, but her tone was affirmative.

"When, of course not!"

It's a terrible question, but then again, the first person I saw was a boy with a bloody axe and an emotional self-inflicted saying things like "You're lucky" and "You're the only one alive with me."

To make matters worse, the real murderer had turned into a gray stone and disappeared into my body.

I had no corroboration but to try to maintain a gentle and honest attitude, hoping to get her understanding.

"The murderer is a vicious dog, but I have already killed him."

"That's ...... And what about corpses? ”

"The corpse is gone."

Speaking of which, I'm a little broken jar.

Pointing to the room behind him.

"It's its restaurant, but it's too miserable for me to go in."

She leaned sideways, glanced over my shoulder, and when she faced me again, the expression on her face was almost clear: "Stop quibbling, you're the murderer." ”

I coughed vigorously and clutched at my hair in annoyance.

"Believe me, I'm really not a murderer, just like you, I accidentally ended up in this hellish place. Right? You're not from this world, are you? ”

I'm really out of options.

She burst out laughing.

"I know, I deliberately teased you, your reaction is really interesting." As she said that, she smiled triumphantly. ,

I couldn't help but be stunned.

"My name is Tomie, and it's a pleasure to meet you." As she spoke, she walked up to me and shook my hand.

"Oh...... Oh. It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure. ”

I almost bit my tongue.

She looked unguarded, the opposite of her previous attitude. I can't help but ask, which one is a lie? Of course it doesn't show on my face, having been an honor student for so many years, I've learned when to put on a mask.

Depending on the situation, I will probably have to get along with her for a while, and I can be regarded as a future comrade-in-arms, I thought so.

When shaking hands with her, there was a faint scent of jasmine on her body, which seemed to be able to penetrate deep into her nasal passages. The mood of being smoky by the rotten smell of the dead bodies suddenly improved.

"My name is Takakawa."

"You just said that."

"Then say it again." I smiled, "Did you just get here?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you remember how you got here?"

"Inexplicably, it was like having a nightmare and waking up in this place. Where is this? She rubbed her temples.

"Doomsday Vision."

"What?"

Her reaction was expected, but I could only smile bitterly.

"Did you see a weirdo in a red coat?"

"No, who is that?"

"A megalomaniac who calls himself an agent of the apocalypse." I rightfully speak ill of that guy behind my back.

"Doomsday agents?" She still had a puzzled look on her face.

"I'll tell you from the beginning." I said, "I broke in by mistake and got into a fight with a man-eating dog, and after killing it, a red-clad monster appeared." ”

"Monster in Red?"

"It's the agent of doom."

She let out a sigh and didn't interject again.

I then told me how I got in and everything I knew about this apocalyptic vision. She listened carefully, but didn't ask a single question, didn't seem to care at all, just needed an answer.

At the end, Tomie crossed his arms and nodded earnestly.

"I see, can you become a brave man who saves the world by passing the test? Are you going to do it? ”

I don't have an answer to that question either.

"Do you want to do it?"

"What are you talking about? Can that kind of person believe it casually? ”

"You don't believe it?"

"Not at all."

I lied.

"It's a shame that it's been so hard to get recognized." Having said that, there was no expression of pity on his face.

"I don't have a shortage of people who recognize me."

"Really? You're probably good at studying, but you don't look very strong, and you don't usually participate in sports, right? ”

I want you to be a chicken woman.

She held out her left hand in front of my eyes, and just as I was wondering, she suddenly clenched her fist, and her muscles bulged out in a streamlined shape. It was as if I had been struck by that burst of momentum.

"Look, is it more powerful than you?"

I have to admit it.

I was amazed that she gave me a completely different feeling when she exerted her strength. Although she was also a sporty beauty with compact skin before, she didn't have the beauty of this kind of strength. Her muscles don't have the kind of hard bumps you get in a bodybuilding competition, they're very elastic and fit well into the curves of her beauty.

"The so-called brave people usually have different qualities. However, even if you have an outstanding personality, intelligence, and strength, if you don't have luck, you can't be the one who stands out. She smiled and stared into my eyes and said, "You're really lucky compared to me." ”

"Do you mean that when I get the mark, I should play the hero?"

"How many more circles do you want to go around? It's one thing to not be able to do it, but if you decide not to do it in the first place, it won't produce results, and that's what you think. ”

"Maybe the agents of doom are lying. Who he really is, no one knows. ”

"What does it matter if he lies or not? It is an indisputable fact that you now have the power to do so. You're an honor student, you have the ability to get higher grades than other students, and you have to do it, and it has nothing to do with whether it's an exam or not, it's a kind of realization, isn't it? Do you not do it when you know that the so-called exam is just a lie? ”

For a moment, I seemed to be sucked in by her deep eyes.

"So, you're lying. You are not a person who thinks of yourself as a hero, but with the strength of a hero, you will do heroic things, and it has nothing to do with whether the so-called hero is just a lie. That's the kind of person you are. ”

Hit the nail on the head. I was thoroughly seen through. This woman's eyes are really sharp.

There were a lot of people who died before me, and the bodies were thrown in the room like garbage, and I was still alive and got the mark. Whether it's luck or ability, it's all a show of strength, and I understand that, so I don't want to be brave or anything like that, it's just a lie.
