Death League 101: I'm Dead In 10 Minutes!-Chapter 78: “Midnight Hunting Spree (52): Human Exhibition Hall”

Chapter 78: “Midnight Hunting Spree (52): Human Exhibition Hall”

Leinster, Jung Ryeo, Hyo Eun and the Sealed Demon King all subconsciously turned their heads around.

Then, all of them were stunned for a split second, their eyes slowly widening in disbelief.

The other challengers also fell silent, none of them dared to breathe heavily.

The audiences in the livestreams collectively stopped sending comments, as if someone blocked the entire comment section.

After a few seconds of deep silence, Leinster clenched his fists and finally opened his mouth stiffly, his voice hoarse.

"Oto...?"

The woman with a bob cut hair looked at Leinster with a smile on her face, but her smile never reached her eyes.

"Yes, dear challenger?"

It was clearly Otomen Lover’s voice and her face too, but somehow, it felt as if there was another voice and silhouette mixed in, blending two different people in one body.

The second voice...it was the voice of the announcer, the one who announced every important event in the mall.

Leinster took a deep breath and slowly spoke in a hushed voice, as if afraid of triggering something.

"You...what’s going on?"

Why...why is Otomen Lover acting strange?

When did it happen? Why did none of them realize it even when they were so close to her?

Otomen Lover tilted her head and laughed, her ethereal voice that sounded like two people speaking at the same time resounded throughout the dim hall.

"Dear challengers, you may explore the hall now. If you need my assistance, it’s my pleasure to guide you, dear challengers."

Now, Otomen Lover was speaking to other challengers as well, not only Leinster.

Seeing that Otomen Lover still didn’t return to her usual self, Leinster’s expression fell and the alien, who had never cared about other creatures, suddenly a surge of emotion—

It was as if a volcano was about to erupt.

Jung Ryeo and Hyo Eun also noticed Otomen Lover’s strange behaviour and they quickly surrounded Leinster, their eyes wary but with a hint of sorrow.

"You...don’t get too close to her. She’s not herself anymore, " Jung Ryeo reminded, but after that, he suddenly regretted his words.

Why should he remind this bastard?

Tsk.

Hyo Eun also looked back and forth between Leinster and Otomen Lover, her gentle face slowly turning icy cold.

"Something is possessing her."

And that " something"....

Could it be the guardian spirit?

The other challengers naturally thought of the same thing but since the suspected guardian spirit blatantly told them to explore the hall, they had no choice but to go.

It’s not that they could already kill the woman and immediately clear the ruin, right?

Once the other challengers slowly dispersed, Leinster took another look at Otomen Lover and nodded at her.

"We need your assistance— "

"Please guide us."

He didn’t know what’s going on with Otomen Lover and how it happened, but it’s better to keep her under their eyes.

Otomen Lover immediately smiled charmingly, the smile that never seemed to reach her heart.

"Yes, dear challenger. Let’s start with this artifact..."

Once Otomen Lover moved, the silent comment section finally came alive, especially the ones in Otomen Lover’s own livestream.

[YourMajestyTheQueenDowager:

Baby? W-why are you acting strange? Are you okay? You’re okay, right?]

[TheBestDaddyInTheWorld:

What’s going on? Why is my baby acting strange? Is this a part of the rules or something? Someone, please explain!]

[Snow_White’s_Bestie:

No, no, no! You’re not my best friend! You’re not Seolhee!]

[TheBestDaddyInTheWorld:

What are you saying?? That’s Seolhee! She didn’t turn into a monster or anything!]

[Snow_White’s_Bestie:

Uncle, Seolhee is being possessed by a ghost! That’s not Seolhee at all! Please don’t be in denial! Bohooooo— ]

The parents felt silent, unwilling to believe this comment but the comment section was already in chaos.

[What’s going on? How did this woman suddenly get possessed? There’s no signs at all.]

[Actually, there is. She’s the only one unconscious during the time when the red light appears.]

[Is that the only reason she’s chosen? Why would the guardian spirit possess this woman? Is she special? Did she carry anything?]

The audience was confused, so did Leinster and his group, but they refrained from doing anything rash and quietly listened to Otomen Lover explaining the human vase in front of them with an excited voice.

"This is one of my latest masterpieces! I called it the Hugging Vase."

Otomen Lover pointed at the life-like humans who were twisting around the vase, facing the group with faces full of agony, as if they were still alive.

"They look like they’re hugging each other lovingly, right?"

Right, your a*s.

Leinster wanted to curse, but Otomen Lover, or whoever was possessing her, quickly added with a high-pitched voice.

"I made this vase from a family of three! Look, the husband, wife and the daughter are all happy, right?"

Otomen Lover looked at the vase with warm eyes, even more real than her smile, but her next words chilled everyone’s bones.

"This vase’s theme is a loving family, that’s why I made them hug each other forever and ever~ "

Leinster averted his eyes from the vase and couldn’t help but interrupt Otomen Lover, who was clearly looking more and more abnormal.

"Okay, let’s make this short. How do I summon the guardian spirit? I have collected all the items that I might need."

The audience in the livestream immediately sucked in the cold air. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

[Damn, bro! You’re so brave! You asked that right in front of the big boss!]

Otomen Lover, or the guardian spirit herself silently stared at Leinster with a blank gaze for a few seconds, the air slowly becoming heavier.

Just when the atmosphere was so tense that Leinster started to break into a cold sweet, the guardian spirit inside Otomen Lover’s body suddenly broke into a bright smile.

"Well, you still lack bones! No need for all 206 bones, just a skull will do~ "

After saying that with a cheerful tone, Otomen Lover looked at the numerous exhibitions in the hall, her eyes flashed with a hint of contempt.

"Can you find the skull before the time is up?"
