“Chaos Value -3”
The air within the Orphanage had turned exceedingly murky, with pus oozing from the cracks in the walls and partially peeled walls revealing squirming blood and flesh ensnared by the iron chains.
It even felt like in some of these gaps, Pang Guishan’s sleazy gaze was watching the outside.
However,
having decided to start a battle, the two walking through the corridors stepped lightly, even joyfully,
Yi Chen, having found a portable audio player on one of the security guards, was now using it himself, headphones on, playing “Come And Get Your Love.”
...
The hand axe in his right hand swung up and down, following the rhythm of the song.
The left thumb rubbed against the surface of the gun, immersing him in a somewhat exhilarated state.
Lorrian, on the other hand, was the exact opposite; he clung to the last moments of his free time, one hand holding a novel, the other stuffed in his pocket, not even bothering to look at the path.
Utterly silent, in stark contrast to Yi Chen who followed the rhythm, sometimes leaping, sometimes stepping.
Lorrian had not taken any equipment from the security department either,
and even the moon attribute treasures given by the Duke only enticed him with that great sword; he had no interest in ordinary equipment. Using weapons was less convenient than using the surgical knife he formed from the moonlight.
Perhaps it was the annihilation of the security department,
the corridors they walked through were unexpectedly deserted, with not a single staff member coming out to block their path.
Even when they encountered a cleaner with a face resembling a striped mop, she simply buried her face in the ground, using the movement of maggots to mop, completely ignoring the two as they passed by.
“After all, this is the ‘Game’ set by the Duke. The Orphanage, though whole, clearly has defined zones and checkpoint settings. It seems we must actively seek trouble ourselves.”
Moon Scar, holding a novel, asked softly, “Random killing?”
“No… Since we just came from the cafeteria and are in optimal condition, let’s go directly to that woman, the one who used to take care of me.
Her ‘status’ is definitely higher than Teacher Fang’s. The dice are only about objective difficulty, I reckon no die could roll under 10 in front of her.”
Moon Scar was slightly startled, quickly recalling, “Oh~ the woman we met in the bathhouse when we first came to the Orphanage, the mere sight of her made you lose control of your emotions.”
“Exactly, the respected Director Cao.”
“Going directly to her is fine. After she knocked you out when your emotions went out of control, I had a bit of interaction with this woman. I could indeed sense an aura of danger coming from her.
The recreational activities class is really boring, we indeed need such characters for thorough entertainment.
You lead the way~”
The ‘foster mother’s’ office was all too familiar, and only Yi Chen, the ‘foster son,’ had the privilege to seek her out on normal days.
Since this memory had resurfaced, Yi Chen had also decided to fully indulge in the game, not to sever any emotional ties but just to vent to his heart’s content.
Listening to the invigorating music, his rear heel and the tail of his suit vibrated in sync, finally coming before a straight corridor.
There were no offices set up within the corridor, only an elevator at the very end.
As they approached,
the elevator unexpectedly came up by itself, with a postman wearing a top hat stepping out.
One hand on his cane, he shook his head, “Ah~ must you push the plot along so quickly? Can’t you slow down a bit, there are still many interesting things yet to be shown.
But, since it’s your choice, continue then.”
The postman took off his hat, revealing once again a face resembling Dead Man Makeup… from his hat, he took out dice that were black with red dots.
More importantly, these two dice only had the numbers 4, 5, and 6. Just as Yi Chen had guessed, the difficulty corresponding to Director Cao couldn’t possibly be low.
The two exchanged glances, then simultaneously rolled.
[6] and [6]
There was no need to add a chaos value, as it had already reached the maximum points.
The elevator, previously empty, suddenly contained an elevator attendant in a red dress, her black hair covering her face, her pale hands ceremoniously clasped at her waist.
At the same time, the game’s notification chimed:
“Disaster Mode has been activated. In this mode, the setting will be exaggeratedly presented, and the internal chaos value will reach its maximum.
“The ‘Desperate Gamble’ mechanism is involuntarily engaged, and you cannot leave until you kill the person in charge of this area.
At that point, you will receive a massive amount of points and control over this area, which you can transform into your own paradise.”
The mailman disappeared, waves of intense unease spilling from the elevator.
Lorrian no longer indulged in his novels, but watched the mysterious elevator and its attendant intently. Just as he prepared to step forward and enter, Yi Chen suddenly grabbed his hand.
“Oh? You’re not in a hurry now?”
Yi Chen waved his hand,
“No~Of course, I am in a hurry, every cell in my body is urging me to act quickly.
But before we take the elevator down, there’s something I must make clear to you.
This time we’re facing the highest difficulty in the current game, and even in my memory, Director Cao is a terror existing ‘beyond humanity’.
Both Fang Qiong, with her art talent, and the muscular Pang Guishan are fundamentally afraid of her,
not just due to her position and status, but because Director Cao is a genuine ‘human-shaped demon.’
She controls a major project at Black Mountain Kindergarten and is the chief beneficiary of this project, already a non-human entity. Now, with the highest difficulty of the game accentuating her powers, her transformation into a more frightening entity is inevitable.
Together, our points add up to exactly one hundred, enough to exchange for a qualification to end the game.
If we find ourselves in a deadly trap below and judge that escape is impossible, certainly leading to death, I will transfer all the points to you, and you must immediately leave to return to the Original World.
This gamble is mine to bear, and I alone should suffer the punishment of death.
If my death in the game causes a strong effect, leaving me comatose and unable to fend for myself… Moon Scar, I need you to take me back to the Original World.”
Lorrian didn’t respond directly but stuck out his similarly silver tongue, scarred with a moon mark, and licked around his lips.

“I certainly don’t want your body to be severely damaged by the death penalty, for we are to merge in the future.
We’ll speak of fatal certainties when we truly encounter them, at least for now, I haven’t felt the real pressure of danger…”
He slapped Yi Chen heavily on the back, pushing him into the elevator with one hand.
When the two entered the elevator,
the elevator attendant turned around politely, nodding in greeting.
The thick black hair completely hid her face,
but this didn’t stop Yi Chen from observing, as the eyeballs on his shoulders emerged, concentrating to try to discern the true face beneath the black hair.
Below the black hair was still black hair,
A large hole had been gouged in the attendant’s face, filled with black hair, or rather, harboring a brain structure capable of infinitely growing black hair.
The elevator had no buttons,
Shasha shasha~
The black hair growing from the attendant’s face burrowed into the elevator shell, connecting to the control device inside and controlling the elevator’s descent.
Yi Chen and Moon Scar did not intervene, allowing the elevator to arrive at an important research area of Black Mountain Orphanage, a place normally accessible only to internal researchers and Yi Chen, Director Cao’s ‘adopted son.’
Others who wished to enter this place were mostly tied to beds, used as experimental materials.
