Chapter 77

The next moment,

the otaku reached out and felt for the light switch on the side of the door. *Click*, the switch turned on.

*Whoosh!*

A sound of something breaking through the air rang out suddenly at this moment.

The otaku was stunned, his eyes wide, looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, completely falling into a state of stiffness; he didn't have time to dodge.

*Clang...*

A chair smashed down, but it missed and hit the ground hard, making a dull impact sound.

"Lin, Lin-ge, thank you."

The otaku looked at the chair in front of him with cold sweat all over his head; if he hadn't been pulled away by Lin Ye just now, he would have been dead or seriously injured!

"What are you doing, are you trying to kill me! Kawasaki, weren't you killed by the female entity? Did you become an entity too!"

After shouting twice, the otaku retreated a few steps, staring at Kawasaki Kanzanari with vigilance.

"Heh."

"Lin-ge, be careful, this guy is likely an entity."

The otaku even warned him.

"Heh, now you're splashing dirty water on me, accusing me of being an entity?"

Kawasaki sneered twice.

"That's right, the villain sues first. After all, back at the shoe lockers, you pushed me toward the female entity to buy yourself a chance to escape. But unfortunately, the female entity didn't deal with me, but dealt with you, a selfish and self-interested guy, just like she dealt with your friend first."

"Nonsense, don't talk nonsense."

The otaku cursed loudly.

"Haha, exposed by me and now you're angry from embarrassment? Chiharu, stay away from him; he could kill you at any moment."

The blonde girl subconsciously moved a few steps away from the otaku, Kazunari.

The otaku wanted to explain, but Kawasaki spoke first.

"I advise you to give up on this trash who might push the people around him toward the entity at any time. You are strong and will be fine, but this girl beside you might not be."

He looked at Fujibayashi Kyou, which made Fujibayashi Kyou feel more nervous and unnatural.

"How could I hurt Lin-ge's woman? Instead, how did you, by yourself, live until now, and how did you happen to be in this art room?"

The otaku raised another question.

Encountering the surviving Kawasaki anywhere in the school building would be within the normal range, but encountering Kawasaki specifically here in the art room made people think and suspect.

"Heh, of course it's because of this."

Kawasaki reached into his pocket and immediately took out a note.

"Y-you... where did you get that?"

The otaku exclaimed.

Besides the shoe lockers and the Class F seats, were there notes anywhere else?

"Of course, the shoe lockers. There was another note in the shoe locker. You didn't even take such an important clue. The time you bought by pushing me really didn't buy anything. To save your life, you really didn't want anything. Haha, trash."

Kawasaki’s mocking laughter grew louder.

"I took the books and notes, I gave them all to Lin-ge."

The otaku was anxious.

"Oh, you didn't deny pushing me. Now, do you understand!"

Kawasaki’s gaze fell on Lin Ye.

"This is a matter between you two; I won't stop you from taking revenge and venting your anger."

Lin Ye’s words made the otaku’s heart go cold; he was going to be abandoned!

He wasn't willing!

"However, wait until we successfully leave this place alive."

Lin Ye pointed his finger at the text on the note Kawasaki gave.

"It should mean 'don't let people die'. I guess that if people die, her power will become even stronger."

The four notes had already supplemented most of the missing information from the single notes.

Placing two notes with different expressions but the same meaning in one place to reduce interference and provide more useful information.

A good method.

But why not put three, four, or even all versions of the notes?

Lin Ye couldn't help but think.

Now, with Lin Ye’s stance, the conflict temporarily stopped.

The four entered the art room.

One by one, the incandescent lamps released white light, illuminating the empty art room.

On the walls, paintings were hung: an oil painting of Mount Fuji, a painting of cherry blossoms in full bloom, and a portrait of a girl placed in the very center.

At a glance,

everyone’s gaze was attracted by that portrait.

With the breeze blowing and the curtains fluttering, the girl with long black hair was looking at the scenery in the distance outside the window, leaving only an exquisite and beautiful profile.

Lin Ye knew her.

The heroine of the movie, the beautiful girl with long straight black hair, who was also the bloody, ferocious female entity the school building had turned into.

"So pretty."

Fujibayashi Kyou couldn't help but exclaim.

Even as a girl, she couldn't help but praise her beauty.

"Exactly the same as the photo, restoring her beautiful face and temperament. The details are really good: the nose, mouth, and other facial features, especially the eyes, simply outline her cold expression perfectly. I think the boy who painted this must have liked her very much!"

Fujibayashi Kyou didn't know art, but this time she couldn't help but comment. Her words were a bit lacking, but she praised the level of this painting.

"Don't touch."

When Fujibayashi Kyou subconsciously wanted to touch it, a voice suddenly stopped her.

It was Kawasaki.

"I don't suggest touching things in this place randomly; who knows what changes it might trigger."

"S-sorry."

Fujibayashi Kyou apologized immediately.

"You came here earlier than us; did you find anything?"

Lin Ye asked Kawasaki directly.

Kawasaki shook his head.

"After running here, I turned on the lights at the very beginning, then turned them off and hid here. I didn't search the art room at all. However, that female entity named Kuroshima hasn't come here. I think it should be safe here; we can stay here until dawn."

After escaping to the art room, he just hid here?

The blonde girl, Chiharu, as Kawasaki’s girlfriend, felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Her boyfriend hid here and didn't have any intention of coming to find her to hide here together.

She was very angry.

Wasn't it because she chose Lin Ye at the time? She did that for her own safety, and also for his consideration! If they encountered the female entity together, it would be bad if he returned to save her.

And by staying by Lin Ye’s side, she could completely avoid this problem. Kawasaki could focus on running for his life without worrying about her safety if he encountered danger.

She was clearly considering it for Kawasaki, to reduce his pressure and burden, but Kawasaki hid here to survive alone.

It was simply too abominable.

He didn't deserve to be her boyfriend at all!

After going back, she would dump this man.

"Look around, see if there's anything special needed. Don't touch anything strange first."

After Lin Ye finished speaking, Fujibayashi Kyou and the others began to act.

Only Kawasaki stood in place, looking like he didn't want to do anything.

Lin Ye didn't force him; he didn't do what he didn't want to do.
