Facts prove that.

Cautious players are the mainstream players in horror games.

They initially thought two or three people would be enough, but then players kept coming one after another—

These players were almost all wearing doll costumes, acting cautiously and carefully. After observing for a while, they came out to purchase the 'Game Completion Pass' service.

And then everyone was happy.

Upon receiving the game clear notification, these cautious players were all incredibly excited, with no dissatisfaction or complaints whatsoever.

Exchanging some useless items for a game clear was a profitable deal no matter how you looked at it.

Pursuing higher game scores and rewards?

If they chose the 'Game Completion Pass' service, who would still care about those things?

Leaving the game alive and returning to reality was the pursuit of ordinary players.

"It's, it's finally over…"

A male player, whose clothes were tattered, hair disheveled, and pants stained with blood, seemed to have gone through something. Upon receiving the game notification, his voice choked with emotion, "Thank you all."

"You're welcome," Amamiya Natsuki replied with a smile. "'Kaguya Brand Game Completion Pass' always offers fair prices and no deception. If we meet again in a game, we hope to provide our service to you once more."

"…"

With the game cleared, the male player quickly teleported away.

"Um, that man just now seemed to cry, didn't he?" Fujiwara Chika hugged her hands to her chest, unable to resist muttering softly, "What exactly happened to make a man cry?"

Amamiya Natsuki: "There were specks of blood on his pants."

Kitagawa Marin: "His walking posture was also very strange."

Glasses Girl blurted out, "Player 0?"

"Hmm?" Shinomiya Kaguya, with her arms crossed, looked over in confusion at the remark. "Player 0? What does that mean?"

As a young lady who grew up in a sterile environment, Shinomiya Kaguya's physiological knowledge was even less than a elementary school student's, so she completely didn't understand what Player 0 meant.

"Eh?" The Glasses Girl player was surprised. "You actually don't know?"

"Why should I know?" Shinomiya Kaguya was even more puzzled. "Is it some kind of common knowledge?"

"Cough, cough, cough." Fujiwara Chika quickly started coughing, forcibly changing the subject. "Kaguya-chan, don't ask anymore, that kind of thing isn't important at all!"

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the pink-haired idiot.

You're exposing yourself; your identity as a veteran driver can no longer be hidden!

"That's right, Kaguya-san, don't ask," Kitagawa Marin said, putting her right hand on her hip. "It's actually internet slang from the gaming community; it's normal for you not to know."

Very good, another veteran driver exposed her identity.

Amamiya Natsuki then looked down at the silver-haired elementary school student.

"Stare—"

Aharen looked up with her small face, which was chubby and expressionless.

The identity of a veteran driver is questionable.

Nowadays, female high school students are all veteran drivers!

"Natsuki-kun?"

Shinomiya Kaguya slightly pursed her beautiful lips, looking at Amamiya Natsuki.

"Don't look at me," Amamiya Natsuki said with a righteous expression. "How could I, a boy, know your girls' secrets?"

"…"

"Perfunctory!"

Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but glare.

His perfunctory expression wasn't even concealed, which was irritating.

"Let's talk business," Shinomiya Kaguya said, her pretty face slightly serious. "The clear coins are all used up."

"Understood," Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "It's necessary to have another round of Seize and Eliminate Evil… Hanamori, where's the closest monster to us?"

"Fourth floor, east side," Hayasaka Ai pushed her glasses up her nose, subtly pressing her throat to alter her voice. "There aren't many monsters left wandering the Corridor."

"There must be monsters hiding in the shadows," Shinomiya Kaguya said, her right arm crossed over her chest, turning to look at Miss Ghost. "I'll leave the rest to you. For every hidden monster you find, I'll give you an extra 100,000 yen, with no upper limit."

"Leave it to me!" Miss Ghost's eyes turned into the shape of money. "I'll dig three feet deep to find them all!"

One should know that the monthly salary of an ordinary fresh graduate is around 200,000 yen.

Finding two monsters is a month's salary; it's simply exorbitant profit. No one can refuse, not even a ghost!

Kitagawa Marin couldn't help but whisper:

"Money makes the ghost go round?"

Amamiya Natsuki continued: "It makes the mill grind the ghost, too."

"…"

A true capitalist should learn how to make ghosts willingly work overtime.

The party continued.

The Glasses Girl player and the silver-haired elementary school student remained on the first floor, responsible for receiving other players, while Amamiya Natsuki and the others moved together and did not separate.

"I found it." Miss Ghost quickly passed through the door of a toy store, willingly becoming a traitor. "There's a monster clown inside; I saw it throwing knives."

Amamiya Natsuki said:

"Only one clown?"

"That's right," Miss Ghost nodded. "I can feel it; there's only one."

"The monster on the fourth floor is about to pass overhead," Fujiwara Chika suggested. "Should we split up?"

"Denied."

Amamiya Natsuki decisively refused.

The Seize and Eliminate Evil combo is indeed powerful, but it also has many limitations.

It's invincible in one-on-one combat, but if it encounters two or more monsters or evil spirits, it will be helpless.

Although there is Copy and Paste now, there is a five-minute paste time, and once physical contact is broken, the paste will fail.

All in all, the situation seems as stable as an old dog, but in fact, a slight mistake could lead to ruin.

Therefore, Amamiya Natsuki would not be careless in the slightest.

"Let's go to the fourth floor first." Shinomiya Kaguya nodded in agreement, her voice calm, "The Clown hasn't come out, so it clearly won't leave in a short time."

Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya met each other's eyes, everything was unsaid.

One more thing, neither of them said it aloud.

Miss Ghost cannot be fully trusted yet, so they must be careful to avoid any mishaps.

...

Fortunately, the trust crisis did not occur.

Miss Ghost had already fallen into the money pit, happily acting as their guide.

"One hundred thousand."

"Two hundred thousand."

"Five hundred thousand..."

As time passed.

The clearance coins were re-collected, and the 'passengers' on the small train became more and more numerous, almost full. Every time Miss Ghost appeared, these guys would all turn their heads to look at her.

Although these monsters couldn't speak, their expressions and actions were super easy to understand:

We have a traitor among us!

"The train is full now." Kitagawa Marin let out a soft breath, "It's been half an hour since we received news of other players appearing, so we should be the only ones left in the shopping mall."

By now, everyone was feeling tired from the game, and Fujiwara Chika was also struggling: "Aharen-san is almost falling asleep... Natsuki-kun, can the game be cleared now?"

"Almost." Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly, looking at the full small train, "There's one last thing left..."

Ordinary monsters all have clearance coins on them.

So what does the monster train, which has the most rules, have?
