Chapter 59: The World of Amamiya Iori's Heart (Continued today)

"What on earth is this..."

Shimizu came out of the store and the shaking under his feet continued.

The sky outside was still dropping countless rain crystals. The sticky and unbearable moisture was difficult to dissipate, making the already distorted world in front of the eyes even more blurred.

He retraced his steps back to the parking lot, staring intently at his phone.

The message sent to Amamiya Iori on LINE never received a response, and I called her more than a dozen times, but none of them answered.

This situation was unprecedented. In the past, she always replied to messages sent to Amamiya Iori within seconds.

The current situation is extremely abnormal and disturbing!

Qing Shuijian arrived at the parking lot and looked around, but there was no one in sight. The figure he saw across the street earlier could not possibly be here.

As time passed, Shimizu's vision became increasingly limited.

The rain got heavier and the fog thicker.

Not only his vision, but even his hearing was deteriorating, as if his existence was being gradually erased.

Not only that, the vibrations of the ground became increasingly intense, already affecting his ability to walk normally.

In the eyes of passers-by, he might look like a patient who was unconscious due to fever and was staggering.

If this situation continued, even if Amamiya Iori appeared in front of him, he might not be able to detect her presence.

Qingshuijian stopped and no longer searched blindly like a headless fly.

He gradually calmed down, his mind worked quickly, and he tried to "overlook" the world from a player's perspective.

If Amemiya Iori really saw the scene where Kikuchi Megumi jumped onto his back, it would undoubtedly be a great stimulation for a severe yandere like her.

But even if she is a severe yandere, she is still just a high school girl, and all her thoughts and logic are very simple.

After such intense stimulation, she may fall into a single-minded mode of thinking, instinctively looking for places that can comfort her soul.

From childhood to adulthood, there is only one place that can heal Iori Amamiya's heart!
The park where I first met Shimizu!
Although this is just a speculation, it is at least more effective than continuing to search aimlessly.

Shimizu Jian is not a person who likes to stay in one place. Once he has an idea, he will put it into action immediately.

So he quickly stopped a taxi on the roadside, told the driver his destination, and rushed to the park.

On the way, he kept trying to contact Amamiya Iori with his mobile phone, but still no one answered the phone, which made him feel a little anxious and uneasy.

More than ten minutes later, Qingshuijian arrived at his destination by car.

Pay the money and get off.

However, when he reached the entrance of the park, his steps stopped involuntarily.

Despite his limited vision, Shimizu could still make out the familiar figure, sitting blankly on a swing.

However, the Amamiya Iori in front of him was completely different from usual. Her eyes had lost all their luster, and were empty and lifeless, as if her soul had left her.

She sat there blankly, without even blinking, as if she had entered another world.

Shimizu, who was stunned, suddenly saw the abnormal value displayed by Amamiya Iori.

[Amamiya Iori's current abnormal value: 100/100]

[Countdown to World Collapse: 37:26]

Now Amamiya Iori's body is sometimes illusory, sometimes distorted, and sometimes disordered, constantly alternating back and forth.

It was the first time that Qing Shuijian saw such a scene, and it was also seen at close range, so the visual impact was extremely strong.

And the scope of this influence is slowly expanding! ?

"What on earth is this..."

Qingshui was shocked when he saw this.

[Excessive abnormal values ​​will gradually affect reality. When it reaches 100, the world will be on the verge of collapse, and the forced correction mechanism will be activated. ]

Previously, Shimizu Mi had doubts about this warning, but the scene before him forced him to believe its authenticity.

He stood there, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner tension and anxiety.

If left unchecked, it will likely spread infinitely at an alarming speed when it breaks out, quickly spreading throughout the world, eventually leading to the world's collapse and forcing the timeline to be reset.

Qing Shuijian was no longer indulging in meaningless reverie, and his gaze gradually became firm and resolute.

Now that the anomaly has reached a critical point, he must go deep into her "heart world" to resolve the crisis. Shimizu has never set foot in this so-called "heart world" and knows nothing about its nature and its contents.

Everything ahead is unknown, and according to previous hints, if the anomaly cannot be successfully eliminated before the countdown ends, the entire world will face the fate of being reset again.

[Countdown to World Collapse: 35:16]

Qing Shuijian quickly glanced at the little time left on the screen, and the sense of urgency in his heart became even greater.

He understood that entering the "world of the heart" was not only an adventure, but also a challenge of unknown difficulty.

However, this is his only chance not only to peek into Amamiya Iori's inner world, but also to possibly help her break free from the constraints of her long-standing character setting.

Shimizumi walked up to Amemiya Iori. At this moment, she seemed to have lost her soul and did not respond no matter how he called her.

According to the previous hints, he needs to touch the other person with his right hand in order to enter her inner world.

So he resolutely reached out his hand and tried to touch Amamiya Iori.

However, when his hand touched the distorted and illusory space around Amemiya Iori, it was as if he was tightly grasped by an invisible pair of pliers, twisting and pulling. The feeling of pain spread from his fingertips to his entire arm, and every nerve throb was accompanied by a sharp pain.

His palms were twisted and deformed due to excessive pain, and his knuckles were twisted to incredible angles, looking extremely terrifying!
However, his expression remained calm, because he knew very well that it was just a visual illusion and his hand was not actually hurt.

He was not deceived by such an illusion. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and firmly held Amemiya Iori's hand.

The next moment, Qing Shuijian's eyes fell into a thick darkness, and everything around him became blurry. Then, a strong feeling of dizziness swept over him, as if to completely devour his consciousness.

His vision gradually blurred and his consciousness was quietly fading away. However, Shimizu Mi could sense with his senses that Amemiya Iori seemed to have turned into a huge vortex, sucking him directly in.

At that moment, the real world he lived in and his own thoughts seemed to be swallowed up by this force and disappeared without a trace.

The passage of time became unpredictable. It was unknown how much time had passed. When Shimizumi regained consciousness, he suddenly opened his eyes. The scene around him had completely changed, and Amamiya Iori's figure had disappeared without a trace.

Looking around, he was now alone in a small room of less than ten square meters, painted in gray and monotonous colors.

There are no walls or windows on all sides, and darkness stretches out before the eyes. Standing in such silence will make people feel extremely scared.

This place is like a prison.

There are no walls, no guards, but at the same time, there is nowhere to escape even if you want to.

And right in the center of this prison where there is no way out, there stands a door abruptly.

Qing Shuijian looked around, he didn't expect that the so-called world of the heart would be like this? !

But soon, it was as if countless devils were whispering bewitching voices in Qingshuijian's mind.

"It's great to have Iori here, will you marry me as my bride?"

"Sister Iori, come and marry me! Become my brother's bride!"

"Hey, you two, stop saying weird things, okay?!"

"Have you all heard about this? A few days ago, a boy confessed his love to a classmate named Amamiya and was rejected, so he secretly put super glue on her stool. As a result, she couldn't stand up for the whole day..."

"Wow, really? Amamiya-san, I didn't expect you to be so pretty and gentle, and you're not angry at all."

"What are you talking about?! Of course I get angry and furious, but why... why am I still laughing? Isn't this so weird?"

"Iori, listen carefully. You are never allowed to play with that man's child again. He has that man's blood on him. If you play with him, you will become just as dirty."

"At that time I thought he was a disgusting child. With a mother like that, it was natural that he didn't receive a good education."

"Mom, mom... why did you say such harsh words to Shimizu-kun and Aunt Akiko? If you say that again, I will be very angry... but why, why can't I be angry..."

It's not just Amamiya Iori's voice, there are other people's voices as well.

Like Amamiya Iori's memories, everyone's voices attacked Shimizumi's mind.

These sounds rang out at the same time, very chaotic and very noisy. Qingshuijian, who had a splitting headache, felt as if he was pierced by countless needles at the same time. Every heartbeat was accompanied by a sharp pain, as if his brain was being ruthlessly torn apart.

He immediately walked quickly to the door, grasped the door handle, opened it, and walked out.

In an instant, all the sounds disappeared.

When Qingshui saw his brows relax, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

What comes into view is a familiar space of about 60 square meters.

This is the classroom of Class 2, Grade 2 at Haichuan Identification College!
"Why is it here..."
