Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: The Basement That Shouldn't Exist

——Damn it! 

Closing the diary, Leo couldn't help but curse in his heart. 

For a moment, his emotions were complex, and his brain was a mess of paste. 

But since things had come to this— 

"Let's hack some people first!" 

Raising his blade, he looked into the classrooms at the Zombies that were throwing themselves against the windows and doors. 

It was just that on this floor, whether it was the windows and main doors in the corridor or the doors and windows of the classrooms, they were all sealed with wooden boards, so these Zombies hadn't surged out yet. 

However, just listening to them banging on the wooden boards was annoying enough. Not to mention, Leo had a lot of pent-up anger right now, so he could only use these Zombies to vent his fire! 

Without holding back, he used the long sword to slash open the classroom doors sealed by wooden boards. 

In a short while, he cleared out the Zombies on this floor. 

At this moment, his Imaginary Energy also approached the 1500 mark. 

Only then did he finally calm down a bit, having at least the spare energy to think about these few questions— 

First... there is a problem with this moonlight, but I haven't been affected in any way. 

Opening Tongzi's status bar, he didn't see any Debuffs either, so... is it because the current moonlight has been isolated by something? 

This was the only answer he felt was reliable at the moment. 

After all, he had already proven earlier that the school building was not connected to the outside world. 

Secondly... was she really a loli elementary schooler? 

Recalling the contents of that diary, he, who had originally calmed down, felt a burst of nameless fire burning again. 

Now, he just wanted to drag out the culprit who caused all this and hack them to death! 

Finally... her older sister could actually come back? Then what kind of existence was her older sister in this matter? 

After thinking about it, he looked at Raiden Mei, who was casting a concerned gaze at him. 

"Mei, what do you think about the contents of this diary?" 

"I do have an impression of this matter. That day, there was indeed a female student who brought her elementary school sister to play." 

Revealing a look of sorrow, Raiden Mei said, "But that person wasn't in our class, and had no interactions with me, so I only know this matter existed." 

At that time, she could be said to be an existence despised by everyone in this school, so naturally, she wouldn't go over to join the fun. Thus, she really didn't have much understanding of this matter. 

"I just didn't expect that both sisters met their end here." 

Since that student hadn't participated in bullying her, she truly felt sad for the encounter of these two sisters. 

"Mn..." 

Nodding with a rather heavy expression, Leo understood that he wouldn't get more intelligence from Raiden Mei. 

Organizing his mood, he walked to the location on the first floor corresponding to the office on the second floor. Here, it was a surveillance room. 

Walking inside, he saw a bed made of desks put together, covered with a mattress and sheets made from many fragments of clothes stained with dark red blood. 

And in the center of the surveillance room, there was a treasure chest... Hmm? 

There is a treasure chest on the first floor, and one on the second floor, so there should be one on the third floor too! 

But... where would it be? 

It must be known that he had searched the third floor thoroughly from the beginning... No! There is one place I haven't checked! 

Suddenly, he realized he hadn't gone into the men's restroom. 

Previously, he only went to the girls' restroom, but he completely forgot the men's restroom. 

Of course, he definitely wouldn't rush back now. 

Anyway, there was still one [Reset] chance today. He had to go back regardless, so he would wait until he finished exploring with this life. 

After thinking it through, he focused his attention on the treasure chest in front of him. 

Opening the treasure chest, he saw a purple irregular cube. 

[Tiny Honkai Fragment] 

[Description: A discrete body of Honkai energy, but the human body cannot directly absorb it.] 

[Effect: After crushing, one can obtain 100 points of Imaginary Energy.] 

[—Hinako, you must live!] 

"..." 

Silently looking at this tiny Honkai fragment, Leo's mood was inexplicably complex. 

Of course, he wouldn't blame himself for this. After all, he clearly knew that Hinako didn't die because of him. 

On the contrary, she was released because of him. 

So what he had to do was find the culprit who caused all this disaster, then chop off the other party's head and place it in front of their graves as an offering. 

Looking at the screen that had long since extinguished, he tried to activate the surveillance, but there was no reaction. 

Understanding that the clue wasn't here, he walked out of the surveillance room. Then, instead of looking at the main gate, he— 

"Mei, are there stairs leading to a negative first floor here?" 

Although he had currently only attended school for one day, he clearly remembered that this spot on the first floor of Chiba Academy was a wall, not stairs leading to darkness. 

"No." 

Shaking her head vigorously, Raiden Mei said very certainly, "There is absolutely no negative first floor!" 

"However—" 

Hesitating slightly, she still said, "I can feel that my dead body should be over by the gymnasium, not down below." 

"Let's explore here first." 

Understanding Raiden Mei's meaning, Leo explained, "After all, if we want to leave here, we probably need to think of a way to lift that layer of spatial isolation, otherwise we can't get out." 

Since he didn't find what he wanted in the surveillance room, it meant this negative first floor was the key. 

Now he only hoped there wasn't a negative second floor or something; that would be endless. 

Fortunately, descending cautiously to the negative first floor, what he saw were cells one after another on the left and right. 

And at the deepest part, there was directly a white wall. 

In other words, there shouldn't be a negative second floor here. 

As for why he could see everything on the negative first floor clearly, it wasn't because the purple thunder flickering on the long sword in his hand was bright, but because after he went down to the negative first floor, warm goose-yellow lights lit up here automatically. 

But seeing this, he couldn't help but become even more vigilant. 

After all, if it was so nice here, there was no reason for the two sisters upstairs not to come down. 

Or could it be... the older sister actually escaped up from here? 

Thinking this, the hand gripping the sword tightened. 

Walking forward slowly, he kept his back against the wall so that at least he didn't have to worry about his rear anymore; this was the lesson he learned from the Claw Zombie. 

However, this time, until he walked past the narrow passage and truly entered the negative first floor, no enemies appeared. 

At this moment, the first room on his left was the only room here that wasn't a cell. 

—The Guard's Office! 

Directly and roughly kicking open the office door, he carefully held the sword horizontally in front of him for defense. 

However, there was still no trace of enemies inside. 

Walking into it, he closed the door. 

Only because the door lock was broken by his kick, this door couldn't be closed tightly. 

But this was just a small problem. His gaze was quickly locked onto a stack of documents on the office desk. 

At this moment, this stack of documents had fallen over, but this wasn't caused by him kicking the door; these documents were like this from the beginning. 

Clearly, the people here left in a hurry, even disregarding these important documents. 

Picking up the top document, Leo's brows wrinkled.
