The layout of the cognitive world is roughly the same as that of the real world, and it is not as bizarre as the halls and impression spaces in the original work. Aside from the eerie atmosphere, you can still see what these buildings looked like before.

It's just that the pedestrians on the road have a pair of masks on their faces, and they can't see their original appearance, and they move stiffly like marionettes, and let out a silent sigh.

Compared with this group of lifeless puppets, the taciturn Lai Qixiao also looks lively. He clenched the knife and gun in his hand and walked through the crowd, occasionally vigilantly looking around to prevent possible danger. However, the inhabitants of the cognitive world have no interest in him as an intruder, and put on a blind look, allowing Lai Qixiao to walk freely.

After walking for a while, Lai Qixiao even plucked up a little courage and boldly stopped a taxi. The masked driver silently opened the door and drove to Yuko Ikezawa's location as he had requested.

The taxi moved smoothly on the dirt road, and the driver and passengers alike were silent, letting only the roar of the engine come into their ears.

Ten minutes later, the taxi turned off in front of an apartment building, and the driver mechanically turned his head and uttered the only words of the trip:

"Makoe, I'll charge you 3,000 yen."

After stiffening for a while, Lai Qixiao endured the pain and took out three thousand-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to the driver.

After confirming the money, the driver slowly opened the door and let Qi Xiao get out of the car.

"Even if you know the world, it's still hard to move an inch without money......" Lai Qixiao put away his shriveled wallet and walked into the apartment building. At this time, the map in his hand was also changed to a structural map of the interior of the apartment, and the exclamation mark representing Yuko Ikezawa hung on the 25th floor.

Lai Qixiao prepared his weapons and went all the way up the elevator. Faintly, he could hear the fierce screams of women overhead, and as the elevator climbed up and down, the shouts became clearer, filled with vicious curses and filthy swearing, complete undisguised malice.

The elevator came to a steady stop on the 25th floor, and a mad curse scream immediately crashed in through the elevator door that had just opened:

"Why, why do you take my chance away every time! Damn Yoko Okino! ”

"What are you better than me? You're just a cute slut! Pretending to be pure in the circle with a face, and insidiously snatching the job that belongs to me behind my back! ”

"Destroy you, yes, I must destroy you!"

Lai Qixiao walked out of the elevator room, and set her eyes on the woman in the corridor who was wrapped in black gas, and it was she who issued those resentful curses. The woman was punching and kicking the door of Yoko Okino in front of her, venting her resentment in her heart. Because of her excessive jealousy, her beautiful face was not covered by a mask, but she also became hateful and annoying.

Is this Yuko Ikezawa in the cognitive world? Lai Qixiao looked at the overflowing malice on the woman's body, and hesitated to get closer. He then looked around, and noticed that a door at the end of the hallway had a very different temperament from its surroundings, showing a strange light. Needless to say, it is also an exit from the cognitive world.

Seeing that the exit was so close to him, Lai Qixiao's hanging heart suddenly stabilized for the most part. He slowed his steps and quietly approached the exit with his gun in hand. He only entered the cognitive world today to collect information, and there is no need to conflict with Yuko Ikezawa in the cognitive world.

The distance between him and Yuko Eisawa is getting closer and closer, but the other party has been completely blinded by hatred, and the curses in his mouth are becoming more and more intense. Laiqi Xiao took advantage of this opportunity to walk behind Yuko Eizuzawa and approach the exit step by step.

But at this moment, a slender figure suddenly walked out of the elevator room and appeared in the afterglow of Lai Qixiao.

Is that...... Yoko Okino?!

The people who saw Yoko Okino were not only here to Suxiao, but also the crazy shadow Yuko Ikezawa on the side.

"Ahh Yoko Okino—"

The woman who was dominated by jealousy was finally completely dominated by evil thoughts, and the huge bat-like wings tore the human skin that draped over her, and she finally turned into a monster called the "Female Dream Demon" and threw herself towards Yoko Okino.

And Yoko Okino, who had just walked out of the elevator room, was also frightened by the monster that pounced on her, and she could only rely on her instinct to let out a scream, but she couldn't do anything else.

Lai Qixiao was tripped by this scream, and he also fell into hesitation for a while, but looking at the exit that was close in front of him, he still gritted his teeth and slowly turned forward......

"Are you going to just leave?" The male voice that came from nowhere suddenly sounded in Lai Qixiao's ears.

This is...... My own voice?

"Because what is being hurt now is just a 'projection' of the cognitive world, so you plan to walk away?"

"That's not ......"

"Or is it because I don't have the ability to save the other party, so I plan to die and leave?"

"Not ......"

"Are you powerless, or are you not going to do it? Don't you hate 'ship-to-bridgehead inaction' the most? ”

"Or is it just a lie to deceive yourself?"

"Stop chirping! I don't think so! Lai Qixiao grabbed the doorknob of the exit, turned around and pulled the trigger on the female dream demon behind him!

The high-speed bullet left a small hole in the female dream demon's wings, and the pain made her instantly turn her attention and turn around and pounce in the direction of Qi Xiao! And Yoko Okino also took advantage of this opportunity to rush into the elevator without looking back, and escaped the clutches of the female dream demon.

"I see, this is your 'doing', just shoot at the exit, you can save her while preserving yourself, heh, unexpectedly."

Lai Qixiao ignored the voice in his ears, he had already pushed open the door of the exit, and he was only one step away from leaving the cognitive world safely!

But after all, he underestimated the speed of the enemy, and before Lai Qixiao could take that step, the female dream demon had already approached and reached out to grab his ankle, throwing him to the other end of the corridor!

"Why, why did you save that slut! Are you also a fan of her!? The Dream Demon cried out frantically, "Where am I worse than her, why do you guys only look at her and don't even look at me!" ”

Laiqi Xiao, who had been smashed, stood up leisurely, at this time the exit in front of him was blocked by the female dream demon, and the elevator behind him was also in use, and he had no way out.

"I can't escape, if I beg this woman for mercy and satisfy her vanity, maybe I can survive! How, are you going to beg for mercy? ”

"Oh, if you talk sweetly to this kind of ugly girl, you will vomit it out at dinner overnight!" Lai Qixiao sneered and pulled the trigger on the female dream demon again!
