"I'm done," Amamiya Natsuki put down the survey form in his hand. "This game is indeed very dangerous."

"Shameless! Hypocritical!"

The Cow Lady Spirit gnashed her teeth in anger, "You humans just love to lie!"

"Hmm?"

Amamiya Natsuki's gaze turned fierce: "Fujiwara, cut another batch of leeks."

The Cow Lady Spirit lowered her head in submission, but spat out a threat: "...I'll remember this grudge!"

"Everyone can state their opinions and views now." Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Fujiwara, you go first."

"Ahem."

Fujiwara Chika made a fist with her right hand, placed it over her mouth, and lightly coughed twice, her voice clear: "First, the wraiths in each patient's room are different, and their personalities also seem to vary. Some wraiths can communicate, while some are quite dangerous."

"Previously, a player mentioned that he had opened a skill from a Blind Box that could detect the presence of important items… He sensed valuable items on the wraith in his same room, but he didn't dare to ask, let alone take them."

Fujiwara Chika said, looking towards the Cow Lady Spirit: "That player also said that Miss Milk Cow has important items on her."

"I'm not a milk cow!" The Cow Lady Spirit bared her serrated teeth. "You can tell by my teeth, I'm a carnivorous cow!"

Kujou Asuka whispered in a low voice: "You clearly ate a lot of leeks just now."

"It's all because of you despicable and shameless humans!"

"I'm sorry."

"…"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the Cow Lady Spirit and extended his right hand: "Hand over what you have on you."

"I don't have anything on me," the Cow Lady Spirit fiercely denied.

"In that case, there's no helping it." Amamiya Natsuki sighed and pressed the Cow Lady Spirit against the edge of the bed. "Fujiwara, come here and take off all her clothes. I've always been curious, people are born without clothes, so why do they have clothes on when they die and become wraiths?"

"Today, we'll study this thoroughly."

"Miss Wraith, please cooperate."

"…"

Miss Wraith knelt on the ground, her upper body pressed against the hospital bed. Because the posture was too shameful, her voice trembled with anger: "Ahhh! Shameless humans, let me go!"

Fujiwara Chika hesitated: "Taking off a girl's clothes…"

Amamiya Natsuki's tone was faint: "She just said you were fat."

"I'm not fat!" Fujiwara Chika's pretty face hardened, and she quickly firmed her resolve. "I'm coming."

"Kujo, Rikka, come together," Amamiya Natsuki added. "There's strength in numbers."

"Coming, coming…"

Kujou Asuka's mind was in a daze.

Pressing the teary-eyed wraith onto the bed and stripping her clothes, did I get something wrong?

Why did a sense of guilt suddenly well up in my heart?

Seeing Fujiwara Chika start to pull at her denim shorts, the Cow Lady Spirit finally broke down: "Stop, stop! I'll give you the item!"

"Eh, you're taking it out so quickly?" Fujiwara Chika's tone was regretful. "I still wanted to see where the tail was located."

Amamiya Natsuki helped the Cow Lady Spirit up, restoring her to a sitting posture.

"The item is on my chest." The Cow Lady Spirit gritted her teeth, her eyes misty. "You let me go, and I'll give it to you."

"No need to trouble you." Amamiya Natsuki's gaze fell into the Cow Lady Spirit's deep cleavage, and he said seriously, "You can leave this matter to me."

"Stare—"

Several girls looked over in unison.

"Natsuki-kun." Fujiwara Chika crossed her arms over her chest. "Sexual harassment is a crime, you know."

Speaking of crime, suddenly barging into someone else's room and forcing them to eat grass, you're all accomplices, aren't you!

"I'll get it."

Fujiwara Chika stepped forward without hesitation, reached her hand into Miss Wraith's chest, and began to search for the item.

"So, so big… my hand sank in."

"And so soft."

"It's just cold and lacks warmth. If it had warmth, hugging it to sleep would definitely be super comfortable."

You're overthinking it. If you hug something that big to sleep, and it accidentally presses on your face, you might suffocate!

"I suddenly understand what the land of milk and honey in the Bible means…"

That was the ancient region, not the place you're exploring!

A moment later.

"I got it."

Fujiwara Chika quickly withdrew her hand, opened her palm, and a small black object of unknown material floated in the air.

"What is this?"

Amamiya Natsuki stared closely, but unfortunately, the only hint given was 'a piece of a fragment'.

Unable to figure out what it was for now, he put away the fragment, and Shinomiya Kaguya continued: "I just counted, there are only eighteen survey forms in total."

That's right, at Shinomiya Kaguya's request, Amamiya Natsuki and the others also filled out survey forms.

Amamiya Natsuki's survey form was very simple.

[Roommate: Sadako]

[Danger Level: Unknown]

[Attributes: Shy, socially anxious, tear mole at the corner of her eye, makes you really want to bully her…]

"Is there a problem?" Fujiwara Chika asked, puzzled.

"The number is wrong." Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly. "There are twenty rooms on the fourth floor."

The girl Kujo guessed: "Are two players trapped in their rooms and couldn't get out?"

"At the very beginning, an unlucky player was stabbed by a Nurse with a needle and was eliminated early," Amamiya Natsuki said. "Information for the last room remains unknown."

Shinomiya Kaguya pondered: "After the Corridor lights up, we'll go to the Nurse's station and check the patient information sheet."

"…"

The darkness receded.

The Corridor was bright again.

Amamiya Natsuki temporarily let go of Miss Wraith and walked out of the room with the girls, heading straight for the Nurse's station.

"Kaguya-san and I can go by ourselves," Amamiya Natsuki whispered. "You all stay here."

Group:

This time, they were just going to check the patient list; two people were enough.

"Be careful," Fujiwara Chika covered her mouth. "You must not make any noise."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded and quietly went to the station with Shinomiya Kaguya.

The swollen-faced Nurse Miss was still spacing out. As long as they didn't disturb her slacking off, she didn't care about players entering and exiting her space repeatedly.

"Found it."

Amamiya Natsuki, right in front of the swollen-faced Nurse, gently picked up the patient information sheet he had seen once before, and finally noticed something was off.

The numbers were wrong.

Each room had two people, one player and one wraith.

The players' names were nicknames given by the game's evaluation, such as Fujiwara Chika being the 'Cancer of the Earth', Rikka being the 'Evil Eye Master', and others like 'Crimson Lotus of Karmic Fire', 'I'm Really Not a Lolicon', etc. The wraiths' identities were a string of black squares, unviewable.

However, at the very bottom of the list, in the registration information for the last room, there was only a string of black squares, with no player present.

"So… there's no player in the last room?"
