Chapter 194

"Uh. If I remember correctly, it should be called Ichinose Chizuru."

Ichinose Chizuru?

You mean Mizuhara Chizuru, right!

Lin Ye realized it immediately.

Isn't this the heroine of *Rent-a-Girlfriend*?

Life really is full of surprises everywhere; here comes another one.

"Lin-ge, what do you think..."

"Fine, I'll leave it to you."

Lin Ye agreed directly.

There was no reason to refuse; even if the Otaku failed, he wouldn't lose anything.

However, Lin Ye remembered that in the original work, Ichinose Chizuru wore pigtails and large glasses at university, dressing herself up as a dowdy girl from the countryside, not attracting much attention from the opposite sex.

Could it be that in this world, the experiences regarding 'Ichinose Chizuru' have also changed?

"Alright, leave it to me."

The Otaku patted his chest, indicating it was in his hands.

This was an opportunity to improve his relationship with Lin Ye, and he would definitely seize it well.

But how to go about it? He had a bit of a headache; he didn't have a good plan yet.

Fujibayashi Muku was unhappy. Although she kept a smile on her face, it lacked authenticity, making people feel like she was forcing a smile.

At this moment, a commotion erupted outside.

"Something happened, something happened! Someone is about to jump off the building outside the mall."

"What's the situation? Jumping off a building here? Was it a breakup?"

Many people, hearing this, followed the crowd out of curiosity.

"Let's go take a look too."

Arriving outside the mall, they looked up and saw a man and a woman. When Lin Ye saw their faces clearly, his pupils constricted.

Fujibayashi Muku saw them clearly too.

"Lin-kun, they are..."

She had just tugged at his sleeve when a sudden exclamation rang out.

"Ah ah ah..."

"They jumped!"

"Thud, thud..."

Two dull sounds of flesh hitting the ground heavily echoed.

Lin Ye pushed through the crowd to get closer to the blood-stained corpses.

He used 'Time Stop' to further confirm their identities.

Kawasaki Yasunari and Miyata Chiharu.

Having died in the eerie school building, they had ended their lives in the most realistic way possible: suicide.

Was this suicide?

No.

Lin Ye didn't believe it at all.

He returned and said to the Otaku,

"Contact that friend of yours immediately."

"I, I already tried contacting him just now, but I can't get through."

At this moment, the Otaku's face was also pale, and the hand holding his phone was trembling uncontrollably.

"Keep calling."

Lin Ye wanted to determine if this was a coincidence or an inevitability.

If he prevented the 'suicide', could they be saved? Would a price have to be paid? Who would bear that price?

He wanted to figure this out.

"Call, I can't get through on the phone. I've already contacted his father."

Three minutes later,

The Otaku shook his head.

"Lin-ge, I still can't get through."

"If you see him, or confirm his situation, send me a message."

"Okay."

But before leaving, the Otaku couldn't help but ask.

"Lin-ge, if, if we had also died over there, then we..."

"Hmm."

"I understand."

He finally bowed deeply to Lin Ye to express his gratitude, then left.

Fujibayashi Muku, having witnessed the two people's suicide with her own eyes, was hit with a massive shock.

If she died, would she also end her life by suicide? Her sister would surely be very sad and heartbroken looking at her corpse!

The breeze under the sun blew through her short purple hair, and Fujibayashi Muku felt cold inside.

"Fujibayashi."

"Fujibayashi."

After being called several times, Fujibayashi Muku finally came back to her senses.

"So, sorry."

She hurriedly lowered her head to apologize.

"Treat me to dessert."

"Eh!"

"Are you really that reluctant to treat your savior to dessert? Or do you need me to treat you to dessert instead?"

"No, no, no, I'm willing, I'm very willing. Let's go right now. Lin-kun, you can eat whatever you want, just order."

A flustered Fujibayashi Muku grabbed Lin Ye's hand and walked outside.

Outside,

Police sirens wailed, 'Woo-woo'.

Coffee shop,

Lin Ye and Fujibayashi Muku sat opposite each other.

By the window, a bit of sunlight spilled onto their skin, bringing a little warmth. For Fujibayashi Muku, who had experienced the eerie school building in the dead of night, the sunlight brought her more peace of mind.

"Guests, two lattes, one strawberry mille-feuille cake, and a matcha cake. Please confirm."

The waiter bowed and left quickly.

"Still worried about the suicide from earlier?"

Actually, Lin Ye wasn't unable to understand.

His mentality was so good, and he didn't have much fear facing the eerie, because he had the superpower of Time Stop as his trump card; he had confidence. But Fujibayashi Muku was different. She was just an ordinary girl, at most an ordinary girl who had mastered some medical skills. If she were truly left to survive alone in an eerie dungeon world, the probability of her surviving would be very small.

"A little."

"What about more than that? We're friends now, right? There's no need to hide it from me."

Fujibayashi Muku thought for a moment and pushed her phone toward Lin Ye.

"I replied to my sister's message, but she hasn't replied to me yet. Could it be that she also..."

"That's not possible."

Lin Ye pointed to the message Fujibayashi Kyou had sent to Fujibayashi Muku.

"If she had also been dragged in, Miss Fujibayashi Kyou would never have had the chance to send you a message."

From the time they entered the screening room until they came out, it had been a total of an hour and a half; just about the length of a movie.
