Why is my Isekai in the Slice of Life anime was become a Horror Story?

Chapter 12: Shh, Don't Let Him Know What You've Seen

Clearly, Green was very professional when it came to unlocking doors. He easily opened the door to room 205.

Takakai and the others didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately decided to go inside. Kaguya led the way, followed by Maki and Takakai. Takakai thought for a moment and then signaled to Green to pull Sun Dajun in, leading this man into the room as well.

The door to room 205 seemed fine for now and could be used as a temporary shelter. The man named Old Guo appeared mysterious, clearly capable of defending himself. If they left Sun Dajun outside and something strange came knocking at the door, it might result in a situation like before. Takahashi didn't want to experience his body breaking apart again.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to suffer, get inside quickly."

Sun Dajun wanted to resist, but in front of Green, a man nearly two meters tall with bulging muscles, he could only mutter a few words and reluctantly entered room 205 with Green.

"Do you want to come in too?"

Takakai, who was at the back, turned and asked the two men outside. The black man scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Old Guo, apparently trusting Old Guo more than Takakai's group led by a bunch of high school students.

"I'll check the stairs to the left. You guys have some ability, so be careful. The difficulty of the game this time is unusual, try to collect the materials left by the survivors. And watch out for corpses, don't go into room 210, that's my advice. Hope you survive."

Unlike last time, Old Guo clearly knew Takakai suspected him, so he didn't hide anything this time.

It was hard to tell whether his words were genuine or not, but Old Guo signaled the black man to follow him, and the two of them headed toward the left staircase, avoiding the right staircase where something unknown had passed by.

It could be confirmed that this man was definitely an experienced player. Unlike Green, who seemed like a noob, Old Guo was clearly a pro with real experience. Perhaps he had something like "Obsession" that Green had mentioned.

Speaking of "Obsession," even though it was still unclear what it was, Takakai recalled when Old Guo stopped in front of room 210. He might have used some item to confirm some kind of threat.

Anyway, the name "Obsession" sounded like an item with extraordinary power. Maybe after acquiring it, a person could destroy everything, even the monster that appeared before.

Of course, this was just Takahashi Takakai's speculation and wild imagination.

Furthermore, when thinking back to this man's initial actions in trying to gather survivors and now tricking a stranger into becoming a companion, only to leave without hesitation, Takakai felt that this man wasn't the type to cooperate well with others.

Now, splitting up and going separate ways might actually be a better choice.

However, the black man chose Old Guo as his companion... Takakai had a gut feeling that the other's fate might not turn out well. But at this moment, Old Guo's background was still unclear, and Takakai couldn't force the other person to stay based on vague guesses.

Creak—

Although this action seemed like cutting off the escape route, the knocking sounds in the hallway earlier had really frightened them. Even if they had to face the possible danger in room 205, Takakai would still close the door. This time, no one could be left in the hallway; everyone had to stay in the living room or the kitchen.

When the knocking sound was first heard, those things had already constructed a conversation based on Takahashi Takakai's thoughts. But once he was far from the living room wall, it became almost impossible to hear anything from outside. That said, could the strange structure of the apartment have been designed to prevent the "Horror story rules" related to knocking on doors?

To the right of the main door was the bathroom, and to the left was the hallway.

It was the same as the layout of rooms 204 and 208. At the end of the hall was a sharp turn, and from this hallway, at the very end, there used to be a wall clock... well, that clock had disappeared, likely taken by Kaguya or Maki.

In short, after turning right here, you would reach the living room door, but actually calling it a living room wasn't accurate, because this room also served as a bedroom.

"Aaaahhh—"

A sudden scream rang out. More precisely, it was the beginning of a scream that was immediately silenced mercilessly.

Takahashi Takakai walked through the dim hallway and entered the equally dim living room. When he saw the weak light inside room 205, the two windows were almost completely blocked off. Takahashi Takakai glanced over the basic layout of the living room. There was no coffee table or round table in the room. Near the door, against the wall, was a small table and a bookshelf.

The kitchen door was completely sealed with various wooden planks, and a foul smell emanated from inside, as if something was decaying behind it.

On the floor, there were several torn pieces of paper, but it seemed there was nothing written on them or just some random scribbles. Takahashi Takakai initially thought there might be a clue, but after picking up two sheets of paper, he found only meaningless drawings, so he threw them away in disappointment.

At this moment, Sun Dajun was shrinking in a corner of the room, not daring to move, probably intimidated by Green's muscles. Green stood beside him, smiling at Takahashi Takakai as he entered with a fawning expression.

To be honest, a large, muscular man with that kind of expression really make Takahashi Takakai nausea, but since the man was cooperating, Takakai didn't mind.

Shijo Maki had somehow managed to find a tattered backpack. She stuffed the wall clocks from room 208 and room 205 into it. She was standing by the door, visibly relieved when she saw Takakai enter. It seemed she had been cautious of Green and Sun Dajun earlier, trying to prevent any unexpected situations.

Meanwhile, Kaguya was using one hand to grip the blonde woman's mouth tightly, her grip as cold and unforgiving as iron, dragging the woman off the bed despite her desperate struggles, unmoved by her resistance.

"Quiet, I don't want to say it a second time."

Shinomiya Kaguya's voice was as cold as ice, rendering the woman unable to resist, her tear-filled eyes lifting her hand in a gesture of surrender.

Suddenly, Takahashi Takakai felt as though he had joined the villain's side. What was this feeling?

He thought to himself as he walked over to the bed, sat down, and lifted the filthy cloth that was hanging to the floor.

A stiff female corpse appeared before Takahashi Takakai's eyes.

"What the hell is this…"

Sun Dajun almost screamed immediately, but Kaguya turned around with a cold "Quiet," and with Green's gaze upon him, the man had no choice but to obediently sit on the ground, his face full of despair.

Although Green was still trying to be a good lackey, he couldn't help but tremble when he saw the corpse.

However, Green quickly noticed that Shinomiya Kaguya had no reaction at all to the body under the bed, and Takahashi Takakai, with an expressionless face, lifted the cloth and sat down, observing the corpse without fear. Even Shijo Maki, standing at a distance, showed no reaction.

It was clear that, despite all three of them looking no older than 20, they were the calmest people in the room.

Indeed, all three of them had gone through at least one Sacrifice Game and were experienced players.

If I just follow them, make the most of my abilities, and please these important characters, I will definitely survive this game.

That's right, as long as I survive this damn game, I won't mind licking toilet bowls in the bathroom. Besides, these three seem easy to talk to—if I don't bother them and help out a little, I, Green, will surely overcome this challenge!

While Green was lost in his thoughts, Takahashi Takakai was completely focused on the corpse in front of him.

The woman who had gone mad and screamed, making the game tense and summoning the big boss, probably did so after seeing this body.

Unlike the one that had been frozen in the refrigerator in room 208, this woman's corpse appeared to have died recently. Her eyes were closed, her lips slightly purple, and her face was slightly swollen. She wore a gray pajama set, the collar was wide, covering her neck, and her fingers, protruding from the sleeves, were also a shade of purple. At the same time, a dark yellow stain could be seen around her pajamas, and the faint smell of decay had almost dissipated.

Takahashi Takakai had a vague idea of how this woman died, but there were a few details that probably needed further inspection, such as whether the body had signs of strangulation or any scratches or wounds on the skin.

[Be careful with the corpse]

However, he couldn't help but recall Old Guo's warning before leaving.

Did this person die in this room?

What killed her? And where is whatever killed her now?

Takahashi Takakai turned his head and scanned the basic layout of the room. Under the dim light, the scenery in the room seemed a bit blurry, but it didn't stop him from clearly seeing the room's layout. He confirmed that there was no space where something could be hiding, assuming that whatever it was actually had a physical body.

Then, he turned back to the bed, closely examining the double bed against the wall, estimating its width.

Finally, he lowered his head and looked closely at the woman's body lying motionless under the bed.

And behind her body, there was a man wearing glasses, his face resembling a broken piece of brick—half of it was a mangled mess, unrecognizable, with black and red blood, staring at Takahashi Takakai.
