Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 182 Mission: 03-2 Ruthless Fall
Those currently playing the game couldn't see the commentary screen, so Nero didn't realize he had appeared on it several times. However, at this moment, the camera was still focused on [Nameless] Kasukabe Yō.

Unlike the cautious Nero, Yao, clad in a school swimsuit, swiftly and agilely darted through the jungle, as nimble as a leopard and as agile as a monkey. She seemed oblivious to the traps, yet in the projection's perspective, she glided past the highlighted traps—clearly not unintentionally.

"It seems that Miss Yao is very good at moving around in places like this." Bai Yasha nodded pretentiously.

She and Kuro Usagi both knew the true power of Yao's gift, the "Life Catalog." But commentators often had to act pretentiously.

"Yes!" Kuro Usagi replied with a smile. "Miss Kasukabe Yo's gift allows her to acquire the characteristics of many animals. Not only does it enhance her strength, agility, and flexibility, but more importantly, it strengthens her five senses to a terrifying level! It can even be said that in terms of the sharpness of her perception alone, she will have no rivals in the lower level of the small garden!"

"Indeed, she was able to confirm the trap's location without any unnecessary action, which gave her a considerable advantage in this game."

Shiroyasha waved his folding fan, confirming Black Rabbit's statement: "Either her five senses are blocked, or her movements are completely restricted. Otherwise, there is no other way to let her fall into the trap. From this point of view, Miss Yao's chances of winning are quite high."

Yao in the picture suddenly stopped and looked down at his wrist.

Black Rabbit continued, explaining, "The bracelets are glowing, which means the first round of information has been delivered to each contestant. The direction the light is pointing to is the nearest enemy."

"As the game progresses, the interval between two messages will become shorter and shorter," Bai Yasha, one of the game designers, added. "If there are only two people left, the bracelet will display the other person's direction in real time, speeding up the game."

"So, the turtle tactic is not the way to win in this game. It seems that Miss Yao has discovered her opponent. Let's see what she will do!"

As Kuro Usagi's voice played, Kasukabe Yō, who was heading in the direction indicated by the bracelet, gradually slowed down and began to circle quietly. Apparently, she had already found the enemy indicated by the bracelet and was now searching for an angle to attack.

Although the bracelet's instructions were not bidirectional, meaning that the bracelet of the person being instructed might indicate someone closer than the person being instructed, the possibility of both parties indicating each other was still very high. In this case, Yao naturally would not choose to stay in the original direction.

She wanted to go around to an angle where the other party wouldn't be on guard.

There are two basic methods for getting prey into a trap: luring and forcing. The former involves pretending to be prey, luring the prey into pursuit; the latter involves actively pursuing the prey, forcing it to fall into the trap while escaping.

At this moment, Yao chose the latter option because she had already mastered the locations of many traps in advance, leaving a lot of room for error.

Yao could see the beast-eared girl not far away, looking around nervously. As a beastman, she clearly possessed extraordinary senses, but in Yao's eyes, these were mere dwarfs.

This gift, the "Catalogue of Life," grants Kasukabe Yō the ability to converse with any animal, mythical beast, or even mythical beast in the world. Whether it's birds or beasts, fish or reptiles, Yō can converse with them without a problem. And after sufficient contact with these creatures, becoming "friends," Yō can draw similar powers from them, strengthening himself.

What’s even more terrifying is that this kind of strengthening seems to have no limit and is almost endless!
Back on Earth, Yao had visited several zoos and made countless friends there. Since arriving in the Little Garden, she's encountered numerous rare mythical beasts. If she continues to grow like this, perhaps one day she'll truly become a "perfect creature."

At this moment, Yao, who stood at the top of normal creatures in terms of physical fitness and also possessed some supernatural powers, attacked his opponent.

The cat-eared girl who was standing still and looking quite alert suddenly moved her ears, her hair stood on end, and she suddenly jumped forward.

She found Yao.

But Yao's attack suddenly stopped midway and she didn't continue the pursuit. She tilted her head, her eyebrows moving slightly on her expressionless face, as if she was a little confused. "Oh!"

On the commentary platform, Bai Yasha leaned against the railing in front of him, pumped his fist, and cheered excitedly, "Well done!"

Meanwhile, Black Rabbit's face flushed red as he turned his head away from the big screen and shouted angrily, "That's enough! Move the camera somewhere else!"

It seemed that she didn't pay attention in a hurry. The cat-eared girl jumped out suddenly the moment she found Yao. In the moment she was trying to escape in a panic, she didn't notice that there was a trap near her landing point.

So, she was killed instantly.

The trap, covered only with a thin mesh, collapsed instantly, trapping the cat-eared girl. But if that were all, it would have been nothing more than one contestant being eliminated, not worth Shiroyasha's excited shouts.

At this time, the people below the commentary platform were as excited as Bai Yasha, and the warm atmosphere seemed like a festival.
As for the reason...

Just look at the miserable state of the girl who has fallen into the trap.

The inside of the trap wasn't empty. At the bottom of the two-meter-deep pit, someone had maliciously filled it with a grass-green, viscous liquid.

Sensing that a living creature had fallen into the trap, the liquid began to wriggle like a living thing, causing the unlucky creature to scream in panic.

That's a slime trap.

"Looks like our first eliminated person got lucky!"

Baiyasha nodded with satisfaction.

The various strange traps that appeared in this game were naturally her creation. The slime trap here and the snake trap Nero had just discovered were just one example. And this was precisely the "elimination penalty" that wasn't explicitly stated in the game's rules.

Of course, there's no need to worry about these traps endangering personal safety. All traps are harmless to the human body, and anyone caught in one will be released quickly.

However, the so-called "harmless" only applies to good children who follow the rules. If the "someone" who falls into the trap does not strictly abide by the rules set by Shiroyasha——

Then she will probably feel good.

In the picture, the cat-eared girl who fell into the trap is "taking a bath" in a swimsuit.

A hand in the shape of a "V" stretched out from the top of the screen, shook it, and then disappeared on the spot.
