Chapter 1578

Hearing the others chatter back and forth, Touma Kazusa's expression finally relaxed.

It's a good thing there's a chat group.

If she hadn't joined the chat group, wouldn't she have to suffer like Kogami Yukina, even die during a mission?

Thinking of this, Touma Kazusa was immensely relieved.

As for the dead classmates?

She didn't spare a single moment of regret for them.

After all, she didn't know them; to her, those people left no names, merely cold numbers.

Kogami Yukina slumped into a chair and asked, "Aren't you afraid, Touma?"

"What's there to fear?" Touma Kazusa shook her head. "If I were afraid, would the Nightmare Space stop assigning me missions?"

Kogami Yukina shook her head. "Impossible."

Touma Kazusa's expression hardened. "So I don't need to be afraid. Fear serves no purpose anyway."

Kogami Yukina fell silent.

Could Touma be broken from too much pressure?

How could a normal student face life-or-death danger with not a trace of fear?

Think of herself.

When she first joined the Nightmare Space, she was so terrified she couldn't sleep for days.

She was just an ordinary high school girl.

At most, a bit prettier.

But what good does that do in the Nightmare Space?

"Touma, take some time these days to prepare—food, clothes, weapons. Next mission, I'll take you. We'll hide together. I've got plenty of experience hiding. We'll definitely survive this mission."

After sitting for a while, until her expression calmed, Kogami Yukina stood and warned.

Touma Kazusa nodded. "I understand."

Kogami Yukina: "Take this seriously. I'm the one who pulled you into the Nightmare Space—I'll bring you back alive."

Of course, there's one condition—that I'm still alive.

If my own life is in danger,

what guarantee can I offer?

This remark clearly dampened morale, so Kogami Yukina didn't say it aloud.

Chat group.

Su Xiao: "Looks like Kogami Yukina is still kind."

Xiao Mai: "True. But I wonder—was the so-called selection of qualified people truly controlled, or not?"

Touma Kazusa: "Could 'controlled' even be a lie?"

Dushan Maozi: "Of course. According to Kogami Yukina, the Nightmare Space is extremely dangerous. Yet she returned safely—she's clearly no ordinary person. Don't trust her too much. In fact, in that environment, trust no one."

Ye Hei: "Exactly. I'll send you some novels about the Master Space. After reading them, you'll know how to protect yourself. 【Novel】"

Touma Kazusa: "Thank you."

Su Xiao: "By the way, among the newcomers, the ones best suited for the Master Space are Yan Daye and Dushan Senpai—one half-man, half-ghost with an invincible gun, the other bloodthirsty and murderous. They were clearly born for the Master Space."

Dushan Maozi: "Is that a compliment or an insult?"

Yan Shuangying: "Though Su Young Lady speaks truthfully, I'd still rather avoid danger if possible. Adventure is only necessary when there's no other choice."

Di Renjie: "Indeed, taking desperate risks isn't the act of a wise man. Walk by the river often enough, and you'll get your shoes wet. Don't pride yourself on your schemes—steady progress is the better path."

Touma Kazusa: "Besides guarding against others, what else should I prepare?"

Su Xiao: "Prepare? No need at all. When you're short, I'll just give you what you need. Food and clothes? I can create plenty with a wave of my hand."

Xiao Mai: "I thought you'd say 'buy,' but you mean 'create'? You're going to put a whole manufacturing industry out of business."

Su Xiao: "It's just less trouble. Buying costs money; creating is so much simpler."

Touma Kazusa: "Is that so? Then thank you, Young Lady."

Su Xiao: "If you're thanking me, shouldn't you show some appreciation? Like—a pretty photo?"

Touma Kazusa: "..."

Hu Yifei: "I knew you'd be waiting here! Kazusa, ignore her—she's always acting crazy. Basic supplies? With the chat group, how could you possibly lack anything?"

Touma Kazusa: "Hmm. What about weapons?"

Su Xiao: "Should I forge you a celestial artifact?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Stop playing around! A celestial artifact? You're trying to get her killed?"
