I heard that I’m super fierce - Chapter 59

Translator: Kadowaki | Editor: NovelMultiverse

 

Kawakami Tomie just leaned on the gate, and as for Lin You—

Lin You was not moving in the slightest. She wanted to get the card and shock them.

Tomie’s beauty was enough to make everyone crazy, but compared to this, the creeping sound of people not far behind can awaken people’s reason.

It reminded them all the time that she was essentially the same as a bunch of flesh and skin that even a complete human form does not possess.

“It’s a pity that we’re not interested in this,” Lin You knew what she wanted to hear, but instead of pressing this, she deliberately said, “You said you died once before, where did you die?”

Tomie’s expression was distorted for a moment.

In her life, she could not bear to think that others would not like her or be interested in her at all. The more she did, the more it would arouse Kawakami Tomie’s desire to conquer.

But when she heard the second half of the sentence, she immediately laughed softly.

“Where did I die? Of course, it was a lie. I had to deal with all the fakes before. I didn’t expect you to be foolish enough to be fooled. There was that guy who heard me say he could come in.

She mentioned Lu Zhenjie and Lin You frowned, “Where is he?”

Tomie tapped her chin with her index finger, “Anyway, I’ll be back here by myself. Ask him.”

To confirm her words, as soon as her voice fell, footsteps came into the cave.

Someone stepped on the rocks and in the water between the stones, and the sound echoing in the cave was dull and hollow. Finally, the person’s face appeared in their vision.

Lu Zhenjie held a lot of withered grass and branches in his arms. Thinking of what Tomie had said before, Lin You also understood what he was going to do.

—It was nothing more than preparations for burning the “fake goods” that Tomie mentioned.

When Tomie saw him coming back, her eyes lit up immediately, and she rushed to tightly hold his arm. She raised her face and whispered in the ear of the other party, taking a glance at them from time to time.

Jian Mingjia: “…Tsk.”

The look on Lu Zhenjie’s face couldn’t tell much of his own will, but he was just listening to Tomie’s words.

Seeing the gradual cold light, Lin You thought that it was bad.

The side of his arm had become thin and sharp, and it may also have hardened muscle. It was not difficult to imagine what the consequences will be once it hits him.

The scratches on the car and Gu Heng’s injuries were probably minor.

“You have been against each other,” she also lowered her voice, “What about the positive odds?”

“Huh?”

She noticed that Gu Heng was kneeling on one knee and seemed to be picking and choosing, “What are you doing?”

“No, it’s okay.” Gu Heng smiled and straightened up casually.

“If none of the four have independent combat professions and have no weapons…”

He said: “Then the odds are very low.”

Lin You’s heart sank.

“His ability is supposedly not too restrictive, so it is estimated that the right time has not been found in the instance,” Gu Heng said, “But it seems that after being controlled by Tomie, he can directly ignore those restrictions.”

This was the difficulty of doubling.

She could draw a card one more time, but who could just restrain him?

“I see a road over there!” Jian Mingjia hurriedly said, “Do you want to retreat?”

This was not a long-term solution.

No matter how deep the cave was, there can be no end, and if they were escaping inside they were doomed to meet a dead end. But in order to suspend the situation, this was all they could do. Lin You nodded.

Jian Mingjia: “Then…count one, two, three.”

“One, two…”

Lu Zhenjie, who was still a teammate a few hours ago, walked towards them step by step.

“Three!”

There was only one way for them to escape. To pass through the hole in the middle, one had to pass the body that was still wriggling on the ground.

New flesh was still growing in the open wounds on the body. At this time, a stone was thrown in front of her by someone, splashing in the water.

Obviously, the stone was picked out specifically because its corner was so sharp that it was more than enough to be a sharp weapon. Tomie, who was lying on the ground, slowly stretched out her hand to grab it and held it in her palm.

Lin You noticed something. She looked at Gu Heng for the rest of her time, but right now, she had no time to take care of it.

And Tomie, who was in a dress, followed slowly as if watching a play. She didn’t feel that the half-length fake was too threatening. It was also because of her carelessness that at the moment she passed by, she felt that a force was suddenly entangled in her leg.

“Damn it!” Tomie screamed, trying to throw her clone out, “What are you doing!? Let me go!”

In the next second, the other one raised the rock high and smashed it down!

*

“…What’s going on over there?”

Jian Mingjia said in a daze when she heard the sudden screams and curses.

“Well,” Although Lin You guessed a bit, Lin You simply pretended to be confused, “Who knows.”

Kawakami Tomie was proud of her beauty, and even more so, she must ensure that she was the only one with the unrivaled existence and that the other split-off individuals were “fake goods.”

She wanted to destroy those fake goods at all costs, but in turn, she thought the same as the “counterfeit goods”—everyone felt that they were real.

They would start fighting spontaneously, but sometimes they just missed a chance.

He did that to prevent Tomie from coming to instigate and make the situation more complicated.

“With that, I’m still thinking about a way to get out.”

Lin You said: “Should we find someone to distract him?”

They had already hidden in the deepest part of the cave. Although it was a bit wider than the section where they had just entered, the place to hide was always limited. At this time, the four of them squatted leaning against the same rock, and on the other side, Lu Zhenjie also came in, and he was about to find them.

“Then the rest of us will take the opportunity to start?”

Jian Mingjia thought, “Maybe. Who will go?”

“Come on,” Lin You said, “Rock, paper, scissors.”

Three rounds later.

Geng Qinghe: “…”

He looked at the rocks made by the other three, and then at his scissors.

“Me?!!!” He collapsed with a bitter face.

“No way,” Jian Mingjia said soothingly. She bragged, “Who made you lose all three times?”

“Aren’t your motor nerves the best?”

Lin You patted him on the shoulder, “Come on, we believe in you.”

Geng Qinghe: “!!!”

He lifted his spirits and believed that he would never let down the boss!

“Then, what exactly do I need to do?” he asked nervously.

“Yeah…” Lin You pondered, “You’re becoming more intelligent.”

Gu Heng: “…”

Jian Mingjia: “…”

What intelligence, do you think everyone acts like you?!

But Geng Qinghe really listened to this. He swallowed and moved carefully behind another stone. He walked back and forth, and then a little farther away, he stuck out his head.

“Look!” he yelled, “I’m…what the fuck!!”

Unexpectedly, when he stuck out his head, he met Lu Zhenjie’s face. Geng Qinghe couldn’t dodge it, so he could only turn his head in time.

The cold wind brushed his face. If he got closer, he probably wouldn’t just get a piece of meat—Geng Qinghe’s temper had also risen.

“Have you forgotten who helped you smash the TV!”

He complained: “I’m telling you that you should be so careful that Sadako and Kayako stand together at your bedside in the middle of the night!”

Lin You: “…”

No, no. These two can fight by themselves first.

They didn’t know if this excitement was of any use to Lu Zhenjie. Geng Qinghe hid in a hurry. He backed up two steps and hit the rock with his back.

The jagged stones against his back hurt a little bit. Seeing the opponent’s sharp-edged arm sweep over again, Geng Qinghe ducked his head reflexively.

There was a clanging noise.

……Huh?

Geng Qinghe was taken aback for a moment without feeling the opponent’s next move and then raised his head again.

—Stuck, stuck!

He smashed it down, and it happened that there was a gap between the two rocks above his head, which stuck tightly together and didn’t even struggle to open it. Geng Qinghe ducked his other hand as soon as he bent his knees, and slid out.

What a good opportunity!

Just behind Lu Zhenjie, before he could react, Lin You picked up a round stone the size of two hands on the ground and slammed it directly behind his head.

He didn’t even groan and fell directly to the ground.

Lin You threw the stone to the side and exhaled.

“…Should I have hit him so hard?” she asked.

Jian Mingjia who reached out and touched her bag: “…”

“Since it immediately ends the instance,” she hesitated, “He should be…okay?”

Speaking of…

She looked Geng Qinghe up and down with a look of “you can’t judge a book by its cover.” This guy was really quite intelligent.

The three of them got it done. Gu Heng, who was squatting alone in the corner, straightened up and said, “Look here.”

Lin You’s eyelids jumped as soon as she saw the scene under the light of his flashlight.

It was another incomplete body.

Maybe it had just died. The pool of blood dripping from under the body had not yet dried. Her face was not fully grown, and it just had a bit of muscle texture.

“How many splits…” Lin You murmured, “This is too…”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

They just had to deal with the hotel one.

The only one that could eliminate it the fastest was the Plague Doctor, but he can only come out in five minutes. The cave was so dark, who knows what else they are missing.

Not to mention that he could only kill when he touched a living body, and he couldn’t deal with a non-living body.

“It really doesn’t work,” Gu Heng said, “We can only destroy this place.”

Lin You: “That’s easy to say. How can we destroy it?”

“My ability.” He said lightly.

—His ability?

Starting from Kisaragi Station, she hadn’t heard him speak about his abilities. After coming to this instance, he only said that his change of voice was related to his profession.

Contrary to her, Geng Qinghe looked like he suddenly realized something when he heard the words.

“I see,” he exclaimed, “Get the air—”

“The theory is not important.”

Gu Heng smiled and interrupted him, “In short, as long as there is an open flame, I can try to make it all burn.”

“It doesn’t make sense to study this deeply now, doesn’t it?” He looked pointedly at Lin You, “It would be fine if you can pass the instance.”

“Okay. Open flames are easy to handle.”

Lin You glanced at Jian Mingjia, who understood. “There is a torch from the hotel, just tell us what to do.”

“There’s nothing to pay attention to,” Gu Heng said, “Wait for my signal, hold your breath to the door, and then ignite it—it’s that simple.”

A rustling sound came from behind them.

Lin You had a bad feeling about this.

She clearly heard that Geng Qinghe, who also turned around, took a breath.

The corpse in the corner that was torn apart came together, like an incomplete human face and eyes and hands. The most terrifying thing wasn’t this, but that there were such subtle and unknown noises in all directions.

“Leave!”

She said sternly: “Now!”

Geng Qinghe and Gu Heng came over and one of them pulled Lu Zhenjie’s arm around the back of his neck. His arm returned to normal when he passed out, and he was dragged forward by the two of them.

While listening to the creepy sound while dragging someone out, the psychological pressure was too great. Geng Qinghe didn’t panic like when he was used as bait.

He thought it would be great if he could put people in his backpack directly.

Their pace accelerated, and when they saw the sight of the place where they entered, everyone was silent.

The two Tomies—including the one with one more face—were there.

Many scars were left on their bodies.

Their nails were scratched, the stones were scratched, the wounds were swollen and twisted, and it looked like a deformed face may appear at any time—even intermittent murmurs could already be heard.

“Stop looking.”

Gu Heng said, “Hold your breath.”

He may have overestimated his ability a little. His forehead oozed thin cold sweat, but his footsteps remained steady.

The time to hold his breath was less than a minute, and there was still some distance to the entrance of the cave. Everyone ran faster and faster, and when they were bathed in the sun again, their lungs that were about to give in were finally filled with fresh air.

She did not dare to relax. She took out the torch and held a branch in the pile that Lu Zhenjie had just picked up in her other hand. Because the hand was shaking a little, and the branches were damp, it took a few tries before they finally caught on fire.

Then, she backed away, reached back, gritted her teeth, and threw hard—

The stubby branches whirled into the cave.

“Boom—”

This loud noise was enough to shatter a person’s eardrum, and the flames that ignited in an instant were accompanied by extreme heat.

What happened after that had nothing to do with them.

The initial explosion caused the stones at the entrance of the cave to collapse one after another, and the movement inside only became a muffled noise and vibration on the ground.

Someone groaned behind them.

“I……”

Lu Zhenjie just woke up. His face turned green the next second.

Jian Mingjia: “…It looks like you remember everything.”

“I remember everything,” he buried his face in his hands. “You can be saved by your teammates if you are under mind control in this game. If you can’t be saved, you can always see from the bird’s-eye-view and you cannot use your body.”

Everyone: “…”

How does it feel to witness your own public execution?

It was terrible, terrible.

“Strange.”

Lu Zhenjie touched the back of his head and said, “Why does this stick out? It hurts.”

—It seemed that he did not remember this!

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing,” Lin You said caringly, “You just fell and no one hit you with a rock.”

Lu Zhenjie: “…Huh??”

“Ah, there shouldn’t be a Tomie problem. “

Jian Mingjia changed the subject: “Then…how do we get up now?”

Almost half of it was hanging down, but if you go up…this stone was not easy to climb with bare hands, and they didn’t have any experience. Except for Geng Qinghe, no one could do it easily.

“This…” Lu Zhenjie scratched his head, “I know a way.”

After a while, he confessed unwillingly: “‘I’ just walked down that road holding a branch.”

They followed him around for a while, and then he pushed aside some weeds. They could vaguely see some footprints. Lin You looked down and they seemed to go to the cliff.

“It’s a shame to say that.”

Halfway through, Lin You remembered something, “I also promised to find an experimental subject.”

It’s a pity that it was all gone.

“Hey,” Jian Mingjia sighed, “There’s no way to persuade her or do anything in that situation.”

What’s more, how could Tomie’s personality change for a while.

Although this was the truth—

Someone patted her on the shoulder.

“Anyway, good cooperation this time.”

—Oh.

Feeling the extra weight in her pocket, Lin You raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Heng who walked straight ahead. There was nothing strange on his face.

They could already see the car parked on the side of the road in their field of vision, that is, at this moment, the synthetic sound of the system sounded in everyone’s ears at the same time.

CONGRATULATIONS, THE WHOLE STORY OF THE A-LEVEL DUNGEON “NO SURVIVORS” IS COMPLETE.

……Hey?

“Wait,” Jian Mingjia said blankly, “Is this all right? I thought—”

“Sadako has become a card, and Tomie no longer has an impact.”

Lin You thoughtfully said: “I agreed with Toshio that Sadako may not cause trouble again. Now back at the car, there was no Turbo Bachan who would cause a car accident on the road. This was equivalent to survival to the end, right?

However, it was obvious that after broadcasting like this, the game would be in a static state. This time, it was strange how it continued to move—

Thinking like this, Lin You noticed that someone was pulling at the corners of her clothes.

She lowered her head and saw Toshio’s face.

Lin You: “…”

He was so obsessed!

Not far away, Kayako, who emerged from a pool of black stains, lay there, not knowing what he was complaining about, and finally had to look at her son helplessly and indulgingly.

YOUR PERFORMANCE IN THIS COPY IS JUDGED AS—S.

YOUR REWARD PROGRESS BAR (10/10) HAS BEEN DETECTED AS FULL, A TOTAL OF FIVE S-LEVEL EVALUATION LEVELS. YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO SAMPLE RELATED ITEMS FOR YOUR JOB. WANT TO USE IT?

……Huh?

“Well…” Lin You said, “I’ll use it later.”

“What?”

The team’s voice chat was still on, and Jian Mingjia asked in surprise: “What did you say, Lin You?”

“No, it’s just rewarding me props,” Lin You replied, “I’m full, so I said I would get it later.”

Jian Mingjia: “…Well, you don’t have to say. I know you got S.”

“S is secondary.”

“Sadako, Kayako, and Toshio,” Lin You counted the cards she got, “and Tomie…”

A good harvest of SR!

“Wait, wait.”

Jian Mingjia hurriedly interrupted, “Is there no Tomie?”

“I have it now,” Lin You said, “Gu Heng gave it to me.”

Once back to the main interface, the plugged test tube in her pocket automatically became a card.

NAME: KAWAKAMI TOMIE

CARD NUMBER: 014

LEVEL: SR

NOTE: ALTHOUGH IT IS JUST SOME BLOOD, IT ALSO CONTAINS A SMALL AMOUNT OF MUSCLE TISSUE. IF YOU TRAIN IT WELL OVER TIME, IT WILL BECOME A COMPLETE KAWAKAMI TOMIE. PLEASE NOTE THAT HER REGENERATIVE ABILITY MIGHT PLAY AN UNEXPECTED ROLE. PS. REMEMBER TO STAY AWAY FROM LIGHTBULBS DURING THE CULTIVATION PROCESS.

“The corpse should have just been discovered, and it was installed before it could regenerate.”

“No,” Jian Mingjia puzzled. “Why would he do this?”

“Who knows, it may have been a bribe.”

Geng Qinghe: “A bribe?”

“Simply put.”

Lin You said: “When he mentioned his ability, could you see clearly what it was?”

Geng Qinghe said “Ah.”

“Yes,” he said, “I heard that it was possible to change the proportion of various gases in the air or something—hey, I can’t remember. In short, it’s about the same ability!”

“Uh.”

He asked carefully: “Is there a problem?”

“Of course,” Lin You said, “He hadn’t used it in the last copy at all, and he created an impression that—he implied that we had the ability to collect information.”

Geng Qinghe: “Yes, but I think he really used it?”

Otherwise, how did the explosion happen?

As soon as he said that, he reacted to something, “It was a lie?! I actually believed it!”

“No,” said Jian Mingjia, “It’s better to say that you believed it.”

Otherwise, the fire won’t be released.

Gu Heng’s ability, if she guessed correctly, should be “others believe in my ability.”

This “belief” should come from the heart, and the other party can’t know the roots of him, otherwise, wouldn’t he just find a pair of teammates to do whatever he wants?

At the same time, the restrictions were not small. Even if he had to change his face every instance, and specifically asked her not to expose it, there will probably be punishment for demolition in person.

A pseudonym, a disguise, the ability to deceive others…

…Fraudster?

But anyway, it had nothing to do with her. Lin You thought, if it’s a big deal when they met again, he would deny it for the third time—in other words, she would get along with him.

“Right,” she asked, “What are you going to do now?”

“I’m going back to school tomorrow.”

As Geng Qinghe said this, he realized that it was only until now that he remembered he was a third-year who had just graduated, “…I have to leave.”

“I’m a little sleepy,” said Jian Mingjia, “Do you still want to play? I will accompany you.”

“It’s okay. I see there is still some time.”

Lin You said: “It just so happens that I have always wanted to try that single-player mode, to go by myself.”

Her friend yawned.

Jian Mingjia disbanded the team, and Lin You entered the mode selection interface again.

The rating of the level-breaking mode was not counted in the reward progress, and it did not matter if you waited until you went offline.

Well, she belonged to the kind of character that saves the delicious food for last.

YOU HAVE SELECTED THE SINGLE PLAYER MODE.

Said the soft synthetic voice.

THE COOPERATIVE MODE IS A SINGLE-PLAYER INSTANCE. PLAYERS HAVE TO COMPLETE THE TASK INDEPENDENTLY, AND ONCE THEY DIE, THEY WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE FAILED. EVERY TIME YOU PASS A LEVEL, THE DIFFICULTY OF THE NEXT LEVEL WILL INCREASE. EVALUATION AND REWARD SETTLEMENT ARE BASED ON PLAYER PERFORMANCE. NO INSTANCES CAN BE BROUGHT OUT UNLESS SPECIFIED WITH SPECIAL ITEMS. AGREE TO CONTINUE.

Of course, she hit “agree.”

Lin You reached out.

THEN, PLEASE BE PREPARED. 

FIRST ROUND.

Suddenly it went black.

As far as the import method was concerned, there seemed to be no difference between the two modes.

Thinking of this, Lin You opened her eyes and looked around at the surrounding environment.

She was staying in a small room, and the wooden chair under her was small and hard, making it extremely uncomfortable.

The TV directly facing her suddenly turned on, probably because it noticed she woke up.

A puppet appeared in the picture.

The puppet’s eyes were scarlet, and the bulging cheeks were painted with weird red mosquito nose-like circles, and the white face was facing straight towards the camera.

“Hello, Susie,” the puppet said in a hoarse male voice, “I want to play a game with you.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
