Chapter 200

Kuroshima Miyuki's eyes lifted slightly, her gaze falling on Lin Ye, filled with a cold, iceberg-like aura.

Lin Ye suddenly didn't know what to say.

"I guess this counts as fulfilling my promise! Although you're the one visiting me."

"Mm."

Kuroshima Miyuki stood up. She looked around the apartment, understanding Lin Ye's general situation.

"Is this the world of the living?"

"Yes, do you want to go outside and take a look?"

She looked at the pitch-black darkness outside the window and shook her head.

"Next time."

Kuroshima Miyuki refused.

"What is the matter with calling me over?"

"First, I wanted to try and see if I could call you to reality,"

"Second, I wanted to try and see if I could touch you in reality,"

Lin Ye suddenly realized his phrasing had some issues and immediately added,

"I just wanted to see if I could touch an existence in a pure eerie state in reality. If you don't want to, it's fine, I won't force it."

The next second,

Lin Ye saw Kuroshima Miyuki extend her hand—a silent answer; she agreed.

He stepped closer and reached out toward the girl's hand.

As a result,

It passed through, like a phantom; he didn't touch anything at all.

He couldn't touch the girl.

"I can't touch you,"

Lin Ye withdrew his hand.

"I just don't know if others can see you, touch you, or perceive your existence."

"I don't know,"

Kuroshima Miyuki shook her head.

She had never appeared in reality before; she didn't know if people in reality could observe her existence.

"What a pity. I even specially bought a cake. Looking at your condition now, you can't eat it. But the next time I go to school, I will bring you a cake. What flavor do you want?"

Kuroshima Miyuki saw the small cake on the table, walked straight over, reached out to take the cake, and started tasting it.

Lin Ye:???

What's going on?

He couldn't touch the girl, but the girl could touch the cake.

"It needs in-depth research. Could it be because I am a living organism, while the cake is a non-living object, so it can be touched?"

Lin Ye proposed several guesses, but in the end, he still didn't reach an accurate conclusion.

Five minutes was very short.

There were only thirty seconds left until the end.

"Kuroshima, finally, I'd like to ask for your help with a test."

Her gaze just fell on Lin Ye's face; she didn't speak, but the meaning was already expressed. Lin Ye had also gotten used to this communication style of Kuroshima Miyuki.

"After the five minutes are up, I hope you try to resist the power that might make you return. I want to test if you can stay in this world for a little longer if you force yourself to stay."

"It's very dangerous."

Kuroshima Miyuki said softly.

How powerful could the mysterious power that allowed her to come to reality be?

"If it doesn't feel right, don't resist,"

"I mean you might be in danger. My coming here is dependent on your existence."

Saying it like that was also no problem.

"Let's try it! Maybe you can't resist at all and will just return directly."

Lin Ye didn't want to give up. And he thought that if Kuroshima Miyuki resisting her return caused him fatal damage, that would be very unreasonable.

"Mm."

She agreed.

There were five seconds left until the five-minute period expired.

Three seconds,

One second.

Time's up.

"I heard the return prompt sound,"

"If I don't return, I will suffer a punitive mental shock and eventually be obliterated, and you…"

Soon,

Lin Ye felt mental exhaustion, and the feeling of fatigue increased at an extremely fast speed.

'Pop…'

He couldn't even stand steadily and sat down, while Kuroshima Miyuki's figure had already disappeared from the room.

Cold sweat broke out on Lin Ye's forehead.

"I'll try again after increasing my mental strength next time."

The Eerie Game still had many rules waiting for him to discover and develop further.

Lin Ye didn't want to be limited by the rules of the Eerie Game. Testing boundaries and finding bugs were part of the fun of games.

Since the 'Eerie Game' contained the word 'game', it was also a game, just that compared to ordinary games, the 'Eerie Game' appeared more advanced and real.

Feeling the mental fatigue, Lin Ye endured it and went to the bed. He lay down, moved his body, and pulled the quilt over himself.

"Sleep,"

Lin Ye turned off the light.

Originally, surviving in the 'Eerie School Building' today had consumed considerable energy, and this final 'test' had brought an unprecedented one-time mental shock.

Lin Ye just wanted to sleep, to have a good sleep.

The apartment was dim, with only the faint starlight from outside the window bringing a bit of cold light.

'Hoo, hoo…'

Steady breathing continued.

Lin Ye soon fell into a deep sleep.

…

…

Monday,

The class bell rang on time at Sobu High.

Numerous students took their seats one after another.

Hiratsuka Shizuka came to Class J of the second year and saw the empty seat in the back row of the classroom at a glance.

"Did student Lin Ye not come to school today?"

Didn't that guy say he wanted to study hard and make progress every day? How is he late on the Monday of a new week?

"Teacher, I haven't seen student Lin today. Maybe he's not coming to class again, just like before!"

The class monitor replied.

As an international student, Lin Ye still had a little bit of fame in Class J, but it's a pity his grades were average, and later he had many instances of truancy, causing his reputation in the class to drop rapidly.

There was almost no one in the whole class who was close to him.

"I see. Let's start class first."

Hiratsuka Shizuka suppressed her internal thoughts and started the class first.

"Class, turn your textbooks to page 20. Today we will talk about…"

Soon,

Class J of the second year entered a state of study.
