Chapter 182

"It's safest by your side."

She believed that if they really encountered danger, he wouldn't leave her behind, and she thought Lin Ye must have reached some conclusion.

"Remember the recorded information on the numerous slips of paper?"

The Otaku in the distance also pricked up his ears. Feeling it was a bit far, he took the initiative to walk a few steps closer to hear more clearly.

"When you see her, don't panic, don't be afraid. Fear will make her even more..."

Lin Ye repeated one of the hints.

"The remaining words should be something like 'agitated, excited, and more aggressive.' Initially, I thought this hint was for us to stay calm when encountering her to better think of ways to escape."

"Now it's very clear that she is more aggressive toward people who harbor fear. To describe it in game terms, characters who harbor fear will be easier to attack, and the aggro level will be higher."

At this point,

Fujibayashi Muku finally understood the purpose of the series of tests just now.

Because she and the Otaku harbored high levels of fear, their approach caused a stronger reaction from the female Eerie.

Then...

She looked at Lin Ye, who was standing in place with a calm expression, and realized that Lin Ye wasn't afraid of this female Eerie at all, having no fear, so the female Eerie didn't react too strongly to him.

"So that's how it is."

The intensity of fear was related to attracting the female Eerie.

The Otaku remembered his friend and also why the female Eerie had ignored Kawasaki and instead chased him at the shoe lockers on the first floor.

Because at that time, he and his friend Sawano were the most afraid of the female Eerie, so the female Eerie attacked them first.

"As long as you aren't afraid, you won't be attacked."

"As long as your fear is lighter than others, you won't be attacked first."

At the same time, this also explained why the more people there were, the easier it was to attract the female Eerie.

The rule for self-preservation was known, but what should they do next?

The skull was inside the Chairman's office, and they couldn't get in right now.

Fujibayashi Muku looked at Lin Ye's profile and couldn't help but think.

"I have a way to lure the female Eerie away."

"I'll help."

Fujibayashi Muku didn't have the slightest hesitation.

"Fujibayashi, having a teammate like you, I'm truly gratified."

"I, I just want to contribute some strength. It wouldn't be good for Lin-kun to do everything alone."

"You really are a good girl. Truly, whoever marries you in the future will definitely be happy."

Fujibayashi Muku blushed instantly.

The weak-spirited girl had already shown a brave side in this eerie teaching building, but essentially, she was still an introverted, weak-spirited girl.

"Alright, you leave here first. Before trying to lure her away, I plan to try another method first; maybe it can work."

Fujibayashi Muku didn't leave immediately.

"Your fear will affect her. I need you and Honda to stay further away. No, just go to the nearest staff office!"

"I understand."

Since Lin Ye had said so,

Fujibayashi Muku had no reason to stay here any longer. Her purpose in staying was to help Lin Ye, and now that leaving could help him, she naturally wouldn't continue to stay here.

After Fujibayashi Muku met up with the Otaku, she spoke to him.

"Lin-kun wants us to go to the staff office."

"Alright, Brother Lin, we're leaving."

After receiving Lin Ye's gesture, the Otaku and Fujibayashi Muku headed to the third-floor staff office.

And Lin Ye, who remained on the fourth floor in a standoff with the female Eerie, soon discovered that the female Eerie's hair had retracted a lot, until it returned to her own feet.

However, the hair entangled at the Chairman's office door hadn't decreased by even a bit, still densely covering it, without leaving a single gap for anyone to enter.

Destruction was impossible.

He had already tried.

This black hair was harder than steel.

Lin Ye hadn't considered burning it with fire, but he understood that the rules of this dungeon were completely different from 'using water to deal with burning Eeries.'

He looked at the female Eerie's face and clearly felt that it was less hideous and more cold and aloof.

Yes,

Cold and aloof.

Just like the cold temperament of the high-mountain flower at the beginning of the movie, and also like the proud temperament in the portrait in the art classroom.

"My name is Lin Ye. To this school, I count as a passing tourist. I know quite a bit about you. Although incomplete and many key pieces of information are missing, I want to help you."

The female Eerie in his eyes stood in place, motionless, without any reaction.

It almost made Lin Ye think his guess was wrong again—that the female Eerie in front of him could communicate.

Fear attracts the female Eerie, but it also affects her rationality. Could it be that he also has fear toward the female Eerie? So the female Eerie is still in a state where she cannot communicate? Or perhaps she is unwilling to communicate.

Lin Ye touched his chin and suddenly noticed the problem.

"Sorry, I was a bit far from you."

A five-meter distance is really not a distance for normal communication.

He walked straight in, stepping on the corridor that was originally covered with hair.

"I want to help you."

He stared at the face of the female Eerie half a meter away, and the female Eerie's eyes were calm as water.

Useless?

What to do now?

His words didn't seem to have enough persuasive power.

【You used the Persuasion skill (Level LV1)】

"I am sincerely wanting to help you."

But there was still no reaction.

Alright then!

Then let's do this.

【You used 1000 game points to upgrade the Persuasion skill.】

【Current Persuasion skill level LV2; 45 seconds until the skill cooldown ends.】

"I can retrieve your lost skull."

No reaction. No, there was a reaction; the female Eerie blinked. That was a reaction.

But this reaction wasn't enough; he hadn't successfully persuaded her yet, hadn't made the female Eerie believe him.

【You used 3000 game points to upgrade the Persuasion skill.】

【Current Persuasion skill level LV3.】

The cooldown ended.

"I can help you take revenge."

She stared at Lin Ye.

At this moment, her reaction was obvious.

Guessed right.

The female Eerie wanted revenge.

The object she wanted to take revenge on was also in this teaching building.

A lot of information became clear.

"I can help you. I can even think of a way to win you the opportunity to take revenge for yourself personally. There is absolutely no component of falsehood or deception in these words."

Still... not working? ===== CHAPTER 183 =====
