[Day 114]
[The collapse is faster than I expected. I just didn't expect that even among the students, there were our people...]
[Day 117]
[Something's wrong! Something's wrong! Something's wrong! Why hasn't the support from above arrived yet? How did we get trapped here?]
[Day 127]
[Finally trapped all the students who were about to turn into zombies in the classrooms, but why hasn't the support from above come yet?]
[Day 135]
[This isn't what was agreed upon! Why have some of us turned into zombies too? Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!]
The entire page following that was filled with the words "Damn it!". The owner of the diary seemed to have fallen into madness, losing his previous calm.
[Day 146]
[There are fewer and fewer sober people left. Will I... will I have such a day too? Is this the so-called karma? Or that bitch's curse?]
[Day 151]
[Failed to storm the school gate again. It's like there's an invisible wall there; we simply can't get out... Why is such an unreasonable phenomenon occurring?]
[Day 153]
[Food is getting scarce. Yamagami-san also committed suicide by gunshot this morning... How long can I hold on?]
[Day 2■■]
[Can't get out! We absolutely cannot get out!!! Everyone, everyone has to die!!!!!]
Bloodstains smeared the date; one could only vaguely see a '2' at the beginning.
[Day ______]
[Am I the only one left alive in the end? But there's no food left. Do I have to go gnaw on those zombified students? If I had known, I would have kept the corpses of those who committed suicide...]
The date column was no longer filled in, but it was clear that this infiltrator had reached a dead end and was considering zombies as a source of food.
"He really wanted to live..."
Seeing this, Leo had to admire this person's will to survive; worthy of being an existence capable of leaving behind a diary.
Of course, he didn't pity this person in the slightest.
Setting aside the matter of Raiden Mei, this person was purely reaping what he sowed. Surviving until the end might not necessarily be anything but retribution for him.
Sure enough, after flipping a few more pages, he saw records again.
Only this time, the records were no longer written with a pen, but with blood.
This was also the source of the bloody smell permeating this diary!
[Day ■■■]
[So that's how it is... So that's how it is... We've been trapped in the first day from the very beginning... No wonder no one comes to save us!]
[Although time is passing... from the outside, it is always the first day...]
[The city is burning... people are wailing... Is this God's punishment for our ignorance?]
[—Do the people above really know what kind of monster they have created?]
Following this were large patches of bloody handprints, as if the owner of the diary wanted to leave a final mark on this world.
Undoubtedly, this person finally made a move on the zombies, but collapsed directly after discovering the zombies reappeared on the 'second' day.
From then on, there were no more records in the diary.
"A looping world?"
Gazing out the window, Leo's expression gradually grew grave.
It seemed this world really wasn't as simple as he thought.
Originally, he thought that as long as he knew the plot of the Honkai world, it wouldn't be a big problem.
But looking at it now, the waters of this world were far deeper than he imagined.
"It should be people's resentment and obsession that anchored this day."
Timely as ever, Raiden Mei floated out and said to Leo, "Teacher Tanaka must have died as early as the first day, right?"
Having watched with Leo for so long, she naturally recognized who the owner of the diary was.
Only now did she understand why she was always targeted by this teacher, and why so many people turned hostile towards her.
—So that's how it is...
"Indeed."
Nodding, Leo analyzed calmly, "After all, even if one eats corpses, a normal person couldn't possibly live for so long."
"But at least there's been progress now; we should continue exploring."
"Still continuing?"
Seeing Leo about to walk out of the teachers' office, Raiden Mei hurriedly reminded him, "Aren't you going to check the time?"
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Leo remembered that he was currently a student in the real world, not that lousy author anymore.
Although this identity probably wouldn't last long, the series of fierce battles tonight had left him physically and mentally exhausted.
It was fine when no one reminded him, but now, exhaustion overwhelmed him like a tide.
Therefore, he didn't push himself, turning around to walk out of the teachers' office—
"That's the right choice."
Seeing Leo bend down and squat to walk towards the third floor, Raiden Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However—
Clearly, as long as you are out of combat, you can directly [Log Out] on the spot, right?
What do you mean by sitting at the bonfire?
Eyes wide, she watched Leo, who was constantly moving his left arm.
"Of course I'm farming souls. I haven't used a single chance to [Reset] tonight... no, I've used one now."
Leo didn't want to continue exploring, but he hadn't forgotten about farming souls.
Admittedly, he didn't know yet what use souls... that is, Imaginary Energy, would have for him, but farming them first definitely wouldn't be wrong.
As a hoarder player, he believed every resource would eventually have its use!
"You..."
Seeing this, Raiden Mei also gave up on retort.
Although she was very concerned about Leo's body, she also understood that she couldn't stop Leo.
More importantly—
Since he can be this reckless with his life for me, shouldn't I also... work hard?
Watching Leo's tenacious back, she couldn't help but make a certain determination.
...
After waiting for a while, seeing that Lord Guard Zombie didn't come up again, Leo naturally went downstairs to find her.
However—
Fuck!
Sure enough, it's a gatekeeping mini-boss!
If not for fear of startling all the monsters on the campus, he would have shouted a curse or two.
With a dark face, he gently pushed open the door of the first classroom, and then saw six highly decomposed, ugly faces.
—I am very angry right now!
Wielding that long sword wreathed in purple thunder, he charged towards the zombies.
Unsurprisingly, fighting these zombies was simply like chopping melons and cutting vegetables; there was no enemy capable of withstanding a single round before him. They weren't on the same level of intensity as that Lord Guard Zombie at all!
But correspondingly—
[Imaginary Energy +11]
[Imaginary Energy +7]
[Imaginary Energy +9]
[...]
Until he slaughtered all the zombies in the classrooms on the second floor, he only obtained 298 Imaginary Energy.
Recalling Lord Guard Zombie's 77 points, he understood the strength contrast between the two.
—Tired. Let it be destroyed!
Already too lazy to curse this stupid [BEEP!] dungeon, after using up the remaining two resets, he managed to farm Imaginary Energy to nearly a thousand.
—[Log Out]!
