Bizarre Honkai, a Wife-Chasing Crematorium

Various horrifying scenes appeared before the eyes of the others. This auditorium was no longer a safe haven, but rather, a prison of suffering in hell.

Saori Tsuruyo's dry lips moved. She had been shocked, even terrified, by Li Mo's actions just now.

In that instant, a sense of estrangement and fear filled her heart. She had no other thoughts except to get away from Li Mo.

But as the primal fear gradually dissipated, and she calmed down, Saori Tsuruyo recognized a fact.

An undeniable fact: she and the other Valkyrie trainees should have long died with no dignity inside the broadcasting room. But now she was still alive, and many others were still alive.

It didn't matter if she was saved by a bizarre entity or a human. What mattered was not their identity, but the fact that they had been saved.

As long as they could save everyone, what did it matter if he was a vengeful ghost?

Saori Tsuruyo slowly got up, took a bottle of cola out of her bag, and walked toward Li Mo.

"Saori, don't go!" her classmates called out.

But Saori Tsuruyo acted as if she hadn't heard them. Her footsteps became lighter and lighter until she reached Li Mo.

"Big Brother, are you alright?" Saori Tsuruyo said, offering him the cola.

Li Mo was stunned for a couple of seconds, then resolutely took it, saying in a hoarse voice, "You seem more courageous than before..."

"Go back and sit down. I can't guarantee that the judgment will last. Maybe the two ghosts next to me will attack you at any moment. I can't handle them in my current state."

Saori Tsuruyo glanced sideways, carefully looking at the two hideous ghosts next to Li Mo, then quickly returned to her original spot.

"Saori... how could you do that," a student whispered to Saori Tsuruyo's ear.

"Onii-chan isn't the enemy. To survive, it's necessary to use extreme measures," Saori Tsuruyo said, no longer hesitating. Her eyes scanned sharply across the eleven ghosts sitting in the seats, trying to find a new breakthrough.

The others looked at her with confusion. In their memories, Saori Tsuruyo had always been the kind of girl who was meek, and who would only follow the opinions of others.

She couldn't refuse anyone, didn't have any opinions, and whenever there were group activities, she would just silently hide in a corner, looking at her phone to cover her loneliness.

Time passed by minute by minute. The ghosts on the seats seemed to be becoming impatient. They looked at Li Mo more and more frequently.

It was now 10:00 PM. The banquet belonging to the ghosts still hadn't started.

Everyone thought that they would be safe, that they would make it through the fourth day's ritual without any major incidents. They leaned on each other, tiredly keeping their eyes open.

Some students who were overcome by drowsiness closed their eyes, hoping that they could escape from the pressure of reality as soon as they entered their dreams.

The peaceful moment was always short-lived. The ground suddenly trembled, waking everyone in the auditorium.

"What's going on? An earthquake? No… could it be the same thing that happened on the first day?" Saori Tsuruyo's expression became serious, staring unblinkingly at the entrance.

"Thump! Thump!"

The sound of heads slamming onto the ground spread throughout the auditorium. A dark mass of silhouettes appeared before everyone.

They had seen this nightmare-like scene before.

The hideous heads revealed eerie smiles, jumping towards them at a pace that was neither too fast nor too slow, gradually crushing the bottom line of their mental fortitude.

Messy hair, stinking blood, and twisted facial features.

Everything was the same as it had been on the first day.

Li Mo's gaze turned cold.

"…"

He slowly got up, not even taking his gun out. Faced with such a massive horde of ghosts, a single pistol that had an area of effect of one person was meaningless.

"I don't know them, but they still came to this funeral."

"It's the broadcast. The notification I made on the broadcast drew these ghosts here. The death announcement on the third day was a death trap that I set for myself."

"The notebook hid this information, and even guided me to this conclusion."

"The ghost horde that has appeared now will undoubtedly compete for the seats. Even if I'm not their target, I will be caught in the crossfire."

"My current state doesn't allow me to get injured. Even if I get injured and heal, I will probably revive as a bizarre entity immediately."

"Even if one ghost is targeting me, I would die. If Shigure Kira could still fight, then she could protect me."

"But Shigure Kira was attacked when I went to the school building to make the death announcement. I understand now…"

Li Mo took out the notebook, looking at it coldly.

"When I was making the death announcement, you deliberately dragged out the time, first giving me an ending where I died to waste time, and then giving me the solution for the death announcement."

"You can see the future, so you did unnecessary things. Your purpose was to put Shigure Kira into a near-death state."

"Because if you didn't do that, Shigure Kira would still be able to fight tonight and could briefly protect me, and the other ghosts would naturally enter a stalemate as they fought each other to compete for seats. This process wouldn't even take three minutes."

"Once all the ghosts were deadlocked, all of us would naturally be able to escape."

Li Mo stated the facts coldly. He made the death announcement too late, causing Shigure Kira to be severely injured when the announcement forced the bizarre entities into dormancy.

And now, he couldn't handle the current situation by himself.

He had no other choice than to either die and reset, or revive as a bizarre entity.

In this desperate situation, Li Mo's only option was to seek help from the notebook, to do as it wanted him to do.

Even though it was just an object, it had seized the initiative. Even Li Mo, who was usually so cautious, had been led into its trap.

The notebook knew the past, the present, and the future…

It had a complete perspective. As long as he kept using it, no matter how cautious Li Mo was, it would be able to predict his actions and guide him to the outcome that it wanted.

Unless from the very start, Li Mo had thrown it into a place where it could absolutely not be found. Even if it had the ability to foresee the future, it would only be able to see an outcome that would be forever swallowed by the darkness.

"Sometimes, I really want to know who the real owner of you is. What kind of existence was able to create a bizarre entity like you?"

"With your ability, you wouldn't need to make all of this so complicated to kill me."

"You don't want me to die, but you also want me to fall into this trap step by step."

Li Mo said calmly.

He wanted to get angry, but his tone was still even, without any hint of anger.

The notebook, which could see an endless future, clearly had another purpose.

And that purpose seemed like something only he could achieve for it. That was why, on one hand, it was putting him in a desperate situation, but on the other hand, it was providing the only solution for him to survive.

This possibility was easy to verify. Li Mo just needed to question the notebook right now. If it gave him a way to survive, then that would prove that it was correct.

If it didn't give him anything, then that would just prove that it really wanted him to die.

"Since you don't want me to die right now, then tell me, what do I need to do to survive?"

"No, what do I need to do to make sure everyone survives today safely."

The head ghost horde was already closing in. The notebook didn't hesitate and quickly displayed its message.

This made Li Mo even more certain that the notebook was indeed plotting something, leading him little by little to the result that it wanted.

He couldn't trust it completely, but he also couldn't afford to not trust it at all.

It didn't want him to die, but it also didn't want him to have an easy time.

Li Mo had to grasp onto this lifeline, even if this lifeline was taking him to another abyss.

Once he was back, he would lock it away.

[My name is Li Mo. When you read this, I am dying, and also about to be "reborn."]
