"Y-y-y-y-you… what are you doing?!"
Juju covered her rosy lips with both hands, her eyes wide, completely shocked.
That was a Miss Wraith's hand, completely black, with torn skin and flesh, looking super terrifying, and you're just touching it and commenting on it… Pervert!
So perverted!
She had never seen anyone with such peculiar tastes!
"Your heart is in disarray," Amamiya Natsuki said, without changing his expression. "Calm down, take a deep breath."
Anyone's heart would be in disarray seeing what you're doing!
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"Miss Wraith usually have their own attack rules. If we stand up and run, we might be attacked by the Miss Wraith immediately."
"Th-that makes sense…"
Juju nodded subconsciously.
She had already heard Marin talk about her experience in the Midnight Mall dungeon and understood that Miss Wraith's attack rules were bizarre and varied. Running around was indeed not a wise choice.
"The best way to overcome fear is to face it directly," Amamiya Natsuki continued. "When facing fear, we must use the method of 'investigating things to acquire knowledge' to understand it, study it, and thus overcome it."
Juju covered her mouth, her expression hard to describe: "That's a Miss Wraith. How can we study her?"
"At least we know one thing," Amamiya Natsuki said calmly. "The evil spirit in the Haunted House has a physical body and can be grabbed… You agree, right, Don, the Outlaw?"
The next moment.
A deep, hoarse voice sounded from behind Amamiya Natsuki.
"…Don is here!"
"Eh?"
Juju's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly reacted.
It was that 'Seize and Eliminate Evil' combo skill!
Before entering the game, Amamiya Natsuki had a complete 'Seize and Eliminate Evil' stored on him, just in case.
But Don, the Outlaw, directly pounced on him at the start of the game, acting so high-profile and arrogant. How could he tolerate it?
Of course, he couldn't.
So Amamiya Natsuki simply took action and grabbed the Haunted House's Miss Wraith's wrist.
Skills like this, the sooner you use them, the sooner they cool down; there's no need to save them.
"Let me see what the Miss Wraith in the Haunted House looks like…"
Amamiya Natsuki spoke while turning his head to look behind him.
"Tsk~" Amamiya Natsuki was silent for two seconds. "Are you the Little Black from Detective Conan?"
Juju couldn't help but say,
"Little Black isn't even this black."
In the dim Haunted House, the air was eerie and the light was murky, but things could still be vaguely seen.
However, the Haunted House's evil spirit behind Amamiya Natsuki was completely pitch black; only a faint human silhouette could be seen, just like those African friends after the lights are turned off at night. If he hadn't firmly grasped the other party's wrist, he wouldn't have found her at all.
Amamiya Natsuki took out a flashlight from his game backpack, turned on the light, and the slightly yellowish light immediately dispelled the gloom in the Haunted House.
Flashlights were quite useful. After clearing 'Cat and Mouse game' last time, Amamiya Natsuki had acquired one from the mutual aid group.
Well-lit situations were rare; most dungeon environments were eerie and dim. In such times, a flashlight was quite useful.
Of course, rashly turning on the light could very likely attract the Miss Wraith's attention and attacks, but now that Miss Wraith was already a prisoner, there was no need to worry about the hidden dangers brought by the flashlight.
This time, Amamiya Natsuki and Juju finally saw the Haunted House Miss Wraith's face clearly.
This was a Miss Wraith whose body was charred black, without hair, and without a single piece of clothing. Her chest was faintly bulging, proving her female identity, or rather, that she was a woman before becoming a Miss Wraith.
Because she was controlled by the Seize and Eliminate Evil combo skill, her body couldn't move. Only a pair of blood-red eyes were slightly moving, her gaze fierce, her face pitted and scarred with mottled flesh, looking particularly hideous and terrifying.
Amamiya Natsuki asked,
"Miss, can you speak?"
"…"
Miss Wraith gave no response, remaining silent.
"Tsk, it seems you won't listen to reason," Amamiya Natsuki's tone deepened. "In that case, don't blame us for torturing you for a confession."
Juju's eyes widened at his words: "Eh, eh, torture for a confession?"
That's a Miss Wraith. How are you going to torture her for a confession?
"There are too many ways, but before that, let's put a bag over her head. It's really hard to describe."
Amamiya Natsuki spoke while taking out a yellow thick paper bag and putting it over Miss Wraith's head.
"Not bad," Amamiya Natsuki nodded in satisfaction. "Good figure. As long as her face is covered, a Miss Wraith is also fine."
At the same time.
A deep, rich voice suddenly echoed in the room.
(Another batch of visitors arrived at Haunted Town. At this moment, a boy made contact with the Miss Wraith in the Haunted House…)
Amamiya Natsuki frowned slightly and looked at Juju beside him: "Did you hear that?"
"I heard it."
Juju quickly nodded, nervously grabbing Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve, and looking around, "Th-the room has more than one Miss Wraith!"
Amamiya Natsuki's voice was steady: "Keep listening."
(What kind of boy is most likely to be single?)
(Lazy, likes to lie in bed for no reason, quiet and clumsy with words, can't chat much with others, likes to overthink, goes with the flow, hates the current situation but lacks the persistence and willpower to change himself, has an inferiority complex, instinctively distances himself from girls he likes, believing he's not good enough for them, and whose only pastimes are games and comics…)
Hey, hey, what exactly is this inexplicable thing saying?
Do you know what it means to be angry out of embarrassment?!
The voice echoing in the void continued to narrate unhurriedly.
(Although I'm not, I can't deny the fact that I'm a single dog.)
(But today, the young man, who has been single since birth, finally became the undisputed protagonist, using despicable means to capture Miss Wraith, putting a paper bag over Miss Wraith's head, and saying, 'Good figure, as long as her face is covered, a Miss Wraith is also fine'~)
Juju looked over with a subtle gaze.
The voice, without a doubt, belonged to Amamiya Natsuki.
He's so good-looking, yet he's been single since birth. How embarrassing.
So… he still hasn't started dating Marin?
Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly:
"That voice just now wasn't Miss Wraith; it was The Narrator."
"Eh?"
"I've already received the game notification."
[Unlimited Narration]
[Whenever narration sounds, you are the undisputed protagonist, and everyone will witness your highlight moment]
[Note: Highlight moments will increase the final score of the kaitai archives]
"Hmm…" Juju blinked twice. "It can increase the score? Sounds pretty good."
Amamiya Natsuki exhaled lightly and said calmly:
"It's a trap."
"Eh?"
"Everyone will witness the highlight moment…" Amamiya Natsuki looked at Juju. "What do you think 'everyone' refers to?"
"Well, it should refer to the players, right?"
Juju tilted her small head, stating her guess, "I feel like it's not just the two of us; all players should be able to hear the narration."
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow:
"Then, will the kaitai hear the narration?"
"Eh eh eh?!" The pink-haired girl's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she said nervously, "…It wouldn't be that excessive, would it?"
