Chapter 93

Kuroshima Miyuki’s eyes lifted slightly, her gaze falling on Lin Ye, filled with an aura as cold as an iceberg.

Lin Ye suddenly didn’t know what to say.

“I guess this counts as fulfilling the promise, even if you’re the one visiting me.”

“Mm.”

Kuroshima Miyuki stood up, her eyes scanning the apartment, understanding Lin Ye’s current 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 if I could touch you in reality.”

Lin Ye suddenly realized his phrasing had some problems and immediately added:

“I just wanted to see if I could touch an existence in a purely eerie state in reality. If you don’t want to, it’s fine, I won’t force it.”

The next second.

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

He walked two steps closer and reached out toward the girl’s hand.

As a result.

It passed through, like a phantom, not touching 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, it seems you can’t eat it. But 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, took the cake, and started tasting it.

Lin Ye: ???

What is the situation?

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, and the cake is a non-living organism, so it can be touched?”

Lin Ye put forward several guesses, but in the end, he 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 you to help with a test.”

Her gaze just fell on Lin Ye’s face, not speaking, but the meaning was expressed. Lin Ye had also become accustomed 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 a little longer if you force yourself to stay.”

“It’s very dangerous.”

Kuroshima Miyuki said softly.

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

“If it feels wrong, 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, if Kuroshima Miyuki’s resistance to returning caused him fatal damage, that would be very unreasonable.

“Mm.”

She agreed.

There were five seconds left until the five-minute mark.

Three seconds.

One second.

Time up.

“I heard the prompt sound for returning.”

“If I don’t return, I will suffer a punitive mental shock and eventually be obliterated, and you……”

Soon.

Lin Ye felt the mental exhaustion, and the feeling of exhaustion increased at a very fast speed.

‘Snap……’

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.

“Try again after increasing mental strength next time.”

There were still many rules in the Eerie Game waiting for him to further discover and develop.

Lin Ye didn’t want to be limited within the rules of the Eerie Game. Trying the boundaries and looking for bugs was one of the joys of the game.

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

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

“Sleep.”

Lin Ye turned off the light.

Originally, surviving in the ‘Eerie School Building’ today had consumed a considerable amount of 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 outside the window bringing a bit of cold light.

‘Huhu……’

Steady breathing continued.

Lin Ye quickly 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 2-J 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 improve every day? Why 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 like before!”

The class monitor answered.

As an international student, Lin Ye had a little bit of popularity in Class J, but it was a pity that his grades were average, and later he had multiple instances of truancy, causing his reputation in the class to drop rapidly.

There was almost no one in the whole class who had a close relationship with him.

“I see. Let’s start class first.”

Hiratsuka Shizuka suppressed the thoughts in her heart and started the class first.

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

Soon.

Class 2-J entered a state of learning.
