"Snake-san … do you want to become a Spiritual Ability user?" Isamu couldn't help but ask.
"Of course! As long as I become a Spiritual Ability user, I'll … "Lamia suddenly stopped mid-sentence and didn't continue.
The scene fell silent again.
"First of all, let me emphasize that this is just a conjecture." Seiji said solemnly, "I'm not sure if the Sin Mask can be used in reality as long as it becomes strong enough."
"Secondly, even if it's true, to be able to risk my life to obtain Psionic Power, I still need to consider it carefully."
"You will die if you fail! It's not a game death, it's a real death!! "
"Even if I take a step back and say that I successfully obtain the ability, will the crow-masked man and his organization just give up after congratulating me? I don't think so. "
"It's very likely that they'll take advantage of the people who have the ability! Use it as a fighting tool or something. "
"Therefore, it's definitely not a good idea to fight for this power."
"That's just what you said," the Lamia said coldly. "You're enemies with the crow-people, so of course you won't say good things about them."
"If compared to me, you are more willing to believe in the person who created this dream and dragged so many people into killing each other and conducting dangerous experiments, then I have nothing to say." Seiji looked at her. "I've said what I need to say. It's your choice to do what you want to do. You'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
The atmosphere became heavy.
"Shiroya … Double Snake-san …" Isamu looked at the two of them and wanted to ease the atmosphere. However, he didn't know what to say.
"I won't die!" Snake Girl gritted her teeth. "I will obtain Psionic Power! Change your own destiny!! "
With that, she turned around and left.
"Miss Double Snake! Wait for me! "The rat-headed fat man chased after him.
"Byakuya …"
"Let them be. As I said earlier, I will not force them to quit. "
Isamu fell silent.
"I apologize if I made you feel unhappy." Seiji sighed.
"No … you don't need to apologize. I can understand," Isamu told him. "I'm not familiar with them either. I just know them."
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound.
The surrounding flames that were burning as a source of light suddenly rose into raging flames and spewed out scorching magma!
"Danger!"
The three of them immediately dodged the lava and began to move.
The Strange Dream was forcing players to teleport away.
Not long after Seiji and the others left, the area they were originally in was completely submerged by hot and sticky magma!
If players were scalded to death by the lava, they would respawn in the Safe Zone. However, this method of death was extremely painful.
Isamu had already drowned in lava before. He definitely didn't want to experience that again.
Of course, Seiji and Little Shi were not interested in dying once.
They gradually increased their speed. However, Isamu was unable to keep up with them.
Upon seeing this, Seiji decided to carry Isamu on his shoulder and speed up together with Little Shi. They passed through the danger zone like a gust of wind!
Isamu was able to experience what it felt like to run at high speed in a dangerous situation. He personally felt that his two teammates were no ordinary people.
On the other side, Horned Rat and Double-Faced Snake, who had parted ways with them, were more unlucky. They were drowned by the magma that suddenly erupted, and the two of them died together in pain.
…
"What's that sound?" Karen asked when she heard the rumbling.
"It's lava … There's no eruption here, which means this is a safe zone."
The one who answered her was a boy wearing a black hoodie and a cat mask with three eyes.
"Lava?"
"Don't tell me that you don't even know what lava is?"
"I know … it's the molten substance that volcanoes spew out."
"That's right. At a certain time, lava will spew out from places where there are flames, drowning many areas and forcing the remaining players to move to the remaining areas," Three-Eyed Cat explained in a light tone. "There's no eruption of lava here, so this is the remaining area, the safe zone. All the remaining players will soon gather here."
Players gathering here meant that there would be a major battle. Karen became nervous.
Previously, she had died after being pushed off the rooftop by her younger sister.
Fortunately, it wasn't a true death.
This was a dream, and they were currently playing a game — a game where the players killed each other!
This was what the boy she met after she reincarnated told her about this.
This boy who called himself Three-Eyed Cat saved her and prevented her from dying again. He also told her about this dream. However, he didn't help her for free. He wanted her to carry weapons and fight for him in return.
Karen didn't want to fight. But in such a dangerous situation, she had no choice but to follow Three-Eyed Cat's instructions and shoot at the enemies!
After several battles, a total of three people had died from her bullets.
Although this was only a dream, and everything that happened here was only a game, she was still afraid.
That was because everything felt far too real!
"Just what's going on with this dream? Why was Kaori able to bring me here!? "
Karen really wanted to ask her younger sister about this.
However, she wasn't even able to protect herself in such an environment. If she hadn't met Three-Eyed Cat, she probably would have died over and over again.
It was said that players would quit the game after dying too many times. It was even possible to commit suicide.
Karen had considered killing herself and quitting the game, but Kaori was still here. And, the reason why she was here was because she wanted to fight against Kaori!
She wanted to defeat her younger sister and have her return the demon's power. That was what she wanted to do.
But, she never expected that Kaori would bring her to such a place.
If she killed herself and quit the game, that would be the equivalent of admitting defeat to Kaori. That wouldn't do!
She had to find Kaori … perhaps she would even have to fight and defeat her.
No … actually, she didn't need to go find Kaori. Karen suddenly had an idea.
"According to Three-Eyed Cat, this is a game where players constantly fight against each other. That means that as long as I survive, and Kaori also survives, we'll definitely meet each other in the end!
If I don't meet her in the end, that means that she's already quit the game, which means that I've won.
That's why I don't need to go find her. I just need to survive! "
Karen made up her mind.
"There's something I forgot to ask you," Three-Eyed Cat finally spoke up after a period of silence. "How did you get here?"
"My younger sister brought me here …" Karen answered. "What about you, Three-Eyed Cat?"
Something flashed in Three-Eyed Cat's eyes.
"I don't know how I got here. Five days ago, when I went to sleep, I was already here when I woke up, "Three-Eyed Cat stated lightly.
"It was the same several times after that … I met other players that I could talk to, and they all said the same thing.
You're the only one who's different.
You said that you've never seen a crow-masked person, so I thought that you might not have come here as an ordinary player … as I expected. "
Three-Eyed Cat took a deep look at Karen as if he wanted to see through her butterfly mask.
