"So what is 'Cancer of Earth'?" Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks, unable to help but exclaim, "Giving a girl such a title is just too much!"

"It is indeed too much."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the evaluation title the Game gave him.

Evil of this World?

He was honest and law-abiding, and also a newbie player participating in the Game for the second time, so how did he become the Evil of this World?

A shady deal, there must be a shady deal!

"Eh, wait." Fujiwara Chika suddenly leaned forward, widening her eyes as she looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, "That 'Weak and Helpless Kaguya-hime' must be Kaguya-chan, right?"

"It's not me."

Shinomiya Kaguya was expressionless.

Fujiwara Chika continued to lean forward, her eyes sparkling: "Kaguya-chan is clearly so amazing, why would the Game evaluate her as weak and helpless?"

(...How would I know!)

Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip, silently telling herself in her heart not to care, but it was useless.

She really did care after all!

I, Shinomiya Kaguya, am a genius young lady, why do I have a useless title?

This isn't fair!

Though indignant in her heart, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression remained cool and calm:

"You should worry about the wanted status first."

Without Shinomiya Kaguya's reminder, Amamiya Natsuki's gaze had already fallen on the Game log.

[Your actions have caused public outrage. You have been jointly reported by multiple spirit students. You are now wanted.]

[In wanted status, you will not be able to leave the Game world.]

[Location refreshed every ten minutes.]

[Wanted duration: Thirty minutes.]

Amamiya Natsuki frowned.

He clearly hadn't done anything outrageous, so why was he wanted by the entire school?

Those spirit students who jointly reported him, don't your consciences hurt?

You're already spirits, and you're still complaining to the school. Your psychological fortitude is too poor!

"Eh, we can't go back?"

Fujiwara Chika had also finished reading the Game log by now and couldn't help but become nervous, "Class is about to start, Teacher Kirisu is super scary, it'll be bad if we're late."

"You should be worried about how to survive right now, not trivial matters like being late and standing in the Corridor." Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but retort.

At the same time.

A chilling, hoarse voice sounded again over the Campus broadcast:

"The current location of the three players: second floor, east Corridor of the teaching building."

As the voice fell, the deathly quiet Ghost Academy seemed to suddenly become lively.

Behind the three, in the deathly examination room, the classroom doors and windows suddenly began to shake, emitting dull thuds and roars, as if the spirit students who failed the exam were about to break out.

"Run!"

Amamiya Natsuki immediately let out a low shout.

Since they couldn't leave, they would try their best to find a chance to survive.

No matter what, Amamiya Natsuki would not sit idly by.

The two girls subconsciously followed.

"Amamiya-kun, where are we going?" Fujiwara Chika hurriedly asked.

At this moment, Amamiya Natsuki's mind was exceptionally calm:

"The Corridor and the playground are open spaces, so we can't stay there. Find a hidden place to hide for ten minutes."

"How about the rooftop?"

Shinomiya Kaguya calmly suggested.

"I agree." Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up. "The school rooftop is generally not allowed for students to go up and play, so they definitely won't think we'd hide there."

The three walked through the Corridor, just about to go up to the rooftop, when Amamiya Natsuki suddenly saw a pair of blood-red high heels walking from above. Above the high heels were only a pair of legs, surprisingly wearing a blue and white cheongsam.

To be fair, the legs were incredibly good-looking, but just an empty pair of legs was truly a bit terrifying.

Tap, tap, tap.

Each step of the high heels seemed to step on one's heart, making one extremely uncomfortable.

"Danger! Danger! Danger!"

"This path is blocked, please quickly stay away from Leg Spirit!"

The red warning quickly appeared before his eyes. Amamiya Natsuki had no doubt that a capitalized 'Danger' had already appeared above their heads.

Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath, suddenly stopped, and grabbed Shinomiya Kaguya and Fujiwara on his left and right, making the two girls stop.

At the same time.

Disorderly footsteps came from the Corridor behind the three, clearly the failing students who were chasing them.

With a wolf in front and a tiger behind, Amamiya Natsuki's expression was calm. He pulled the two girls and quickly entered the restroom at the corner of the stairwell.

"Get into the stall and hide, don't speak."

Amamiya Natsuki whispered, entering a stall first.

Shinomiya Kaguya and Fujiwara Chika exchanged glances, and the two girls hid together in another stall.

The rumbling footsteps outside the window quickly approached, then a sudden sound of terrified apologies rang out, and the chasing sound quickly faded away like a gust of wind.

Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of high heels stepping on the floor was exceptionally clear, and then...

Amamiya Natsuki finally had time to observe the restroom.

"When I first came in, it seemed like something was missing from the wall... So, this is a women's restroom?"

This is not important.

For survival, let alone a women's restroom, even a women's bathhouse, he would still barge in.

Fortunately, the restroom was quite clean and the smell was fresh, but the lighting was dim, as if it would go out at any moment, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

The stall doors were covered with all sorts of messy things: unfamiliar names, messy graffiti, strange symbols... It didn't seem to have any special features.

Amamiya Natsuki was seriously contemplating his next move when he suddenly heard Fujiwara Chika's voice from the next stall:

"Ah, thank you."

Followed by Shinomiya Kaguya's serious and solemn voice: "...Amamiya-kun?"

Amamiya Natsuki: "I'm here."

Fujiwara Chika: "Eh? Eh? Why is Amamiya-kun on the left?"

"I was already in the left stall." Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly. "What's wrong with you two?"

"Just now, someone from the right stall handed over two candies from underneath." Shinomiya Kaguya's tone was serious. "One red, one blue."

Amamiya Natsuki's mouth twitched slightly: "Did Fujiwara-san eat it?"

"Of course I didn't eat it." Fujiwara Chika quickly retorted, "This is a restroom, how could I eat something in a place like this?"

What's wrong with a restroom?

Look up 'toilet meals'.

There are quite a few people who eat in restrooms.

Amamiya Natsuki said: "Then why did you say thank you just now?"

"I took them." Fujiwara Chika stammered softly, "I thought they were candies given by Amamiya-kun, and I subconsciously took them."

Even if they were candies I gave, you should have politely refused! Even an elementary schooler knows not to take things from strangers, and who would give out candies in a restroom?

He originally thought the restroom was 'safe', but now it seems it's not safe at all.

"You two come out first before we talk." Amamiya Natsuki pondered.

"Oh."

A few seconds later, Fujiwara Chika suddenly became nervous: "Strange, the stall door won't open."

Amamiya Natsuki tried pushing the door, and it opened in response: "I can open the door."

Stepping out of the stall, Amamiya Natsuki observed the restroom environment.

Shinomiya Kaguya and Fujiwara were in the second to last stall, and the unknown creature that gave the candies was in the very last stall.

So, not being able to get out is related to taking someone else's candy?

"Stick out your hand." Amamiya Natsuki quickly said, "Let me see the candies."

"Oh."

A hand reached out from the second to last stall, skin as white as snow, moist and lustrous, as if soaked in milk, looking fragrant and sweet – it was the Cancer of Earth. In her hand were two candies of different colors.

At the same time.

From the last stall, a hand also reached out, but its skin was pale and bloodless...
