Why are there only loser heroines around me?

The monsters danced in the muddy water and crawled on the rocks, with scaly bodies, webbed fingers, big eyes, wide mouths and frog-like gills.

PS: How could those disgusting and blasphemous things, which are unimaginable even in human nightmares, have illogical appearances, and really exist?

Yanami remembered.

She suddenly remembered.

She remembered all the books she had read about Crush, and also remembered the reason for Arthur's disappearance. She remembered that not long ago, Hakuba and Kotoko had gone to the old church where disappearances occurred frequently to search for clues.

Yanami clutched the photo tightly, and she began to feel inexplicably dizzy. The tinder suddenly went out, and then the desk lamp also lost its light. She stumbled in the darkness and reached out to grope, trying to find the door of the secret room again, but she didn't touch the door handle. Instead, she touched a cylindrical object near the old bookshelf, which was a ladder that could be climbed up.

Is there any other space here?

She began to climb up the stairs. After five or six meters, she was blocked by a rusted round roof. Yanaijian took out her Beretta and shot off the rusted lock with a shot. She thrust her right arm upwards, trying to use her strong arm strength to push the roof open. She tried four or five times. On the sixth time, she found a small handle welded to the roof. It turned out that you had to pull the handle to pull it down...

Yanajian entered a deeper corridor. She could not hear the wind and see the light. She could only climb up the corridor. She imitated Ukyo's counting seconds in her mind. After crawling hard in the upward corridor for ten minutes, her vision finally opened up.

Not only did she see the light again, she even returned to the ground smoothly. What she saw was a three-meter-tall statue of the Virgin Mary. The colorful stained glass windows behind it reflected the sunlight. Everything seemed peaceful and beautiful.

There was a church at the end of the corridor.

"Yanagi?"

A girl's soft call came from not far away.

Yanai turned around and saw a girl dressed as a young lady. Her height was similar to Komari's, but she had that young lady-like demeanor that Komari didn't have.

"Ms. Iwanaga?" This was the first time Yanami met Kotoko.

There was a pungent smell coming from the church. Yanai saw a blond-haired British handsome man and a 1.80-meter-tall Asian handsome man finishing off the "Grim Reaper" that had been dying. The fatal wound to this thing came from a Beretta rifle. The bullet was poisonous and almost burned its abdomen like a strong acid.

This was the wound left by the vampire bullet. Yanami remembered that she fired a shot before entering the secret room. She didn't expect that the Grim Reaper would escape here. Yanami was a little surprised. She spent a lot of effort to open the sliding door, and when she pulled the door, the lock on it was still good, which meant that there must be other exits in the secret room that led to this church.

However, it didn't matter how many exits there were now. She was very glad that she fired the gun. Ukyo told her to shoot when she saw a shadow. This experience was really useful. She was lucky and hit the side with one shot.

Yanami looked at Kotoko and asked, "Where is this place?"

"The old church in Kingsport." Iwanaga Kotoko spread her hands helplessly and said, "We've been trapped here for over a week. Fortunately, Jiulang brought enough food."

As she spoke, Kotoko pointed to Jiulang's backpack and said, "There's some food in there. Do you want some?"

"No." This was the first time Yanami had refused food offered to her when she was hungry. "Ukyo is still waiting for me outside. I need to get out of here quickly. Ms. Iwanaga, tell me about the current situation."

This was the first time Iwanaga Kotoko met Yanami offline. She didn't know what Yanami was like before and thought she was a very serious person, so she said:

"Outside the church is a forest. The mist in the forest is very thick. At night, it is filled with some kind of monster with giant bone wings. They can float in the sky like ghosts, and bullets can't penetrate them. But Jiulang and Hakuba killed one with a Barrett."

"Also, there are 12 small sculptures in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary. Many Cthulhu works say that there is a gate to other worlds in Kingsport Church, but the prerequisite is that you have to awaken the gate through some kind of ritual. I guess these small sculptures are necessary for the ritual, but none of us know how to use them. In the Cthulhu works I've read, no one has ever written in detail about those ancient and mysterious rituals..."

Yanami turned his gaze towards the statue of the Virgin Mary.

Directly below the statue, there are indeed several statues. Their finger joints can move and the workmanship is very delicate. They are 12 girls in white dresses. They are very beautiful. Every detail that a girl should have is reflected on them. You can't tell the material of these sculptures with your eyes alone. When you touch them with your fingers, you feel something like silicone. The girls' skirts are still vacuum, and every detail is made like a real person.

Yanami understood everything in an instant.

She walked over to the twelve pure white statues, stood them up one by one, and arranged them as she remembered them.

Then.....

Yanaijian felt as if he was petrified at this moment. Mist poured in from the church door and stained glass windows. The flowers and plants outside the church danced wildly. His past began to hang upside down before his eyes like a kaleidoscope. The flow of time seemed to have accelerated a hundred times. The light resistance changed and his vision spun around.

The next moment, someone grabbed her arm.

She opened her eyes and saw Ukyo's eyes filled with worry and joy. He pulled her arm very hard and pulled her out of the calming room in an instant. At this moment, she raised her head and her black and white eyes met with Ukyo's. Their gaze seemed to be eternal.

"Are you okay?" Ukyo anxiously checked Yanami for any wounds. After discovering that she was just a little dirty, Ukyo breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's someone here... there's someone here!" A white hand suddenly stretched out from under the Calm House.

That was Iwanaga Kotoko's slender arm.

Ukyo was startled and raised his hand to pull Kotoko out.

Following closely behind is Kuro Sakuragawa.

Ukyo frowned, and pulled out the two men behind him with force, as if pulling out a carrot. The entrance was too small. Sakuragawa Kuro was fine, but Hakuba's shoulders were too broad. Ukyo reached into the tunnel and used his strength to dislocate his two shoulders, forcibly completing the "bone shrinkage" and then pulling him out from the depths of the tunnel.

"I saw it!" Iwanaga Kotoko suddenly started coughing violently. She didn't have time to explain the current situation to Ukyo, and immediately said, "Just now, when our vision started to turn upside down, I quickly found the safe word and broke free from the mental constraints. I saw a small town called Cuibit. Remember the dense forest I mentioned? Beneath that fog, there is a town called Cuibit!"

"You're quite right." Arthur, squatting on the ground, spread his hands and said, "Miss Detective from Shibuya, we meet again. You're currently in Tribit Town. You'd better tell us in detail about your experiences."

Qinzi looked around in confusion.

She hadn't expected so many detectives here.

Yanami was talking to a boy not far away who was even more handsome than Kuro. That guy must be Ukyo. Kotoko saw him nod thoughtfully and repeat "Route 12" twice. Then he walked to the center of several girls in white clothes and said to them, "Do the dance you used to please the Grim Reaper for me."

"But not here, follow me to the road."

Kotoko then noticed that these girls in white dresses looked just like the sculptures in the old church at Kingsport Cathedral.

She stood up from the ground and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Youjing held the hands of the girls in white dresses and led them past the watchtower, through the low bushes they had entered when they came, and brought them to Highway 12, which was covered with yellow leaves.

Kotoko, Hakuba and the others followed behind.

Ukyo said to Yanami: "The key may not be the direction, but the dance. Dance is the key to open the door to the other world."

"Yanami just told me that the body lying in front of the secret room also came from Highway 12..."

Kotoko, who was following behind him, was stunned and said, "You mean Route 12 might also be a door? But Campbell's book says that the only door should be at Kingsport Church. Other than that, Route 12 is not mentioned in any of the other great K-series novels."

"You're quite right. But just because it wasn't mentioned doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"You came from the church," Youjing said. "The door in the church leads to the calming room, and the door in the calming room leads to the church. This door appears to be two-way, but it is fixed in two places. Whether it's Arthur or you, you can only teleport between the church and the calming room."

"So I'm wondering, could there be other gates in the town? I'm not saying that Route 12 is a gate, but the gate might be somewhere on Route 12. So many cars pass through Route 12 every day, but very few people can drive through the gate and enter this fictional realm. So I guess Route 12 should be a very long entrance, and the door to the outside might be on the entrance, but we can't find it."

"That's an interesting hypothesis." Kotoko looked at Hakuba standing beside her and said, "Kyuro and I walked to the old house, but... Hakuba, you must have driven here, right? Which highway did you take?"

Bai Ma immediately replied, "Number 12."

It seems that many problems have been solved.

The door was not in the church, but on the road. Youjing's initial idea was right. There was no problem with the plan of stepping on the accelerator to the bottom on the road. He had used up all his luck when he came here, so he couldn't find the door when he went out and could only go around in circles on the road.

But now it's different, he has the "key".

......

Several people watched as the little girls held hands and performed the "Dance to Please Death" on the road.

Then... Ukyo, Komari, Yanami, Hakuba, Kuro Sakuragawa, Shirley, Kotoko Iwanaga, Arthur, a total of eight outsiders, plus Sheriff Carlo, squeezed together in the Maybach with only one tenth of the gas left in the tank.

Shirley was holding Komari in the passenger seat, Yanami was lying on Ukyo's legs, and the remaining five men were squeezed in the back seat. They were all of large build. The Maybach S that Ukyo rented was a sedan, and the space was far less spacious than he had imagined. The four men squeezed into two chairs and then held Arthur together. Hakuba's pistol was squeezed against the car door. He was worried that the gun would go off accidentally, but he had no way to adjust his sitting position.

Yanami turned over in the front seat. She felt a little breathless lying on Ukyo.

"Turn around." Yu Jing, who was about to step on the accelerator, said coldly, "Your towering breasts are blocking my control of the steering wheel."

"Oh." Yanai pouted and turned back reluctantly, accidentally kicking Xiaoju and Shirley in the passenger seat twice.

Yanami's legs were kicking in the air, and the wet dirt on his shoes made Shirley very irritated. She wanted to take off Yanami's shoes, but it was too late, because Ukyo stepped on the accelerator as soon as he raised his foot!

Everyone in the car felt their vision start to turn upside down at the same time. The surrounding maple forests were suddenly stretched into straight lines of only colors, as if they were sitting in a time machine. Those who had safe words began to try to find them back, but it was useless because this feeling of dizziness did not come from any spiritual realm, but was physical!

Kotoko Iwanaga vomited on Kuro Sakuragawa with a "Ugh~" sound, and Kuro Sakuragawa vomited on Hakuba.

Hakuba had flown fighter jets in Hawaii, so he could get used to the feeling. But the smell of vomit was truly disgusting. He actually lived in Bengbu, and he threw up all over the car. Komari, in the front seat, vomited on Shirley. Ukyo and Yanami were the only ones in the car who remained unscathed. Compared to the filthy blood on Deadpool, the smell of vomit was pleasant. He could get used to it. He felt dizzy, too, but he was driving, so he had to force himself to stay awake, or everyone in the car would be doomed.

As for why Yanami was able to hold back, Ukyo had no idea.

He only felt that Yanami's body was getting hot, as if he had placed a kettle of water on his legs that was heating up automatically.

Yanami's body was soft and comfortable to hug, but he was concentrating on driving and couldn't distract himself to feel the details of the girl's body.

The surrounding scenery was stretched into straight lines of only colors in the eyes of others, but in Ukyo's eyes, he could still see the constantly moving scenery clearly, and his dynamic vision could still keep up.

When the Maybach's flashing red fuel tank was at the bottom, Youjing heard text message alerts ringing on the phones of several people who still had power.

They entered the service area and the cell phone signal returned.

The car suddenly slowed down, and Ukyo slammed on the brakes. The sign for Highway 12 came into view, and scattered traffic passed by him. The car radio also received a signal again, and it was playing "Tsushigaru Garu".

"He swung his fists in a relentless, all-around attack! But his hit rate was only 3%..."

'What a cheerful melody...' Ukyo thought.

He raised his hand to unlock the car door, and everyone fell out of the car together, continuing the vomiting they had not finished in their seats.

Seeing Yana didn't react until she got out of the car, Ukyo reached out and patted her on the back, glancing at his phone screen, which had only 20% battery left.

Gan Xia (from two days ago): I know some people saving the world are busy, but before you disappear, shouldn't you ask your homeroom teacher for leave? Also... ask for leave from your girlfriend and from Xiaoju Zhihua who works upstairs as well. And you better actually be on a mission!

That’s right, it was indeed Teacher Gan Xia’s familiar tone. Whenever a boy and a girl disappeared together, the gossipy and frivolous head teacher would always think in a bad way.

[Tsuchimikado Seika (from a day ago): I've already paid you the 50 yen commission for my last request to inspect the school building. Thank you for your hard work.]

Maori (one day ago): "Why did you disappear again? Ukyo, do you need me to send a helicopter to Tibet?"

"Ha~." After reading the message, Ukyo leaned against the car door and looked up at the white clouds being blown away in the sky.

came back.

He already missed the campus he had not visited for a long time.

Volume 111: Chapter 5 Ukyo Playing with the Cat (K)

The next morning.

The American media reported extensively on the news of the town of Trist, where the local townspeople thought they really existed in reality, but these people were not included in the US population registration data.

After they used Youjing's method to return to reality from the small town, they found that there was no place for them in reality.

Sheriff Carlo recalls what Ukyo once said to his friend Arthur: "Your existence in reality was erased by some large spiritual realm, and it took me four safe words to get you back."

If Arthur can be found by Ukyo, how can the other people in the town be found?

Sheriff Carlo looked worried. No one in reality remembered them, and even the place called Tribit could not be found on the old map.

They are equivalent to illegal immigrants, and the US authorities have to apply for new identities for them one by one.

But fortunately, they are experienced in dealing with similar matters.

Starting a new life in a new city with a new identity, the situation was not too bad in the end.

Ukyo expressed sympathy for their plight, but having returned to Japan, he was unable to help.

Kotoko shared the town news on her channel. Sulli, unsure of who had added him as her LINE friend, bombarded him with private messages. Besides boring messages like "Want to meet up?", she kept DMing him, hoping he'd add her to the Night Watch channel. She was willing to trade him for the script settings for "The Sinking Ground."

All "people with ambitions" who fight against the revival of the supernatural can be considered Night Watchmen, so Ukyo pulled Shirley in.

And Shirley also sent him a set of settings for The Lost Land as agreed.

What Ukyo is most interested in is the "ruler of death" in his town who he has not yet fought against. It is called the Mother of Dark Skeletons, the King of Grave Beasts, the defeated fallen god of death, Similg Garfield!

He really wanted to know if this monster had the ability to release a large mental force field.

Now he still doesn't know what caused the complete disappearance of all traces of those people's existence in reality. Take Kotoko as an example. Even though she has returned, no one remembers this once very active psychic detective.

She couldn't log in to any of the social media accounts she had previously registered.

No one around her remembers her either.

Only some local monsters who were born with a strong spirit still remember this monster princess.

Kotoko's situation is relatively good. The worst-off person is Arthur. The traces he left in the world have disappeared, which means that all his work has been in vain. None of those "repeat customers" remember him.

What's strange is that all traces of the existence of those who accidentally entered the town were wiped out in reality, but he was not. Not only him, but also Yanami and Komari were not forgotten by people in reality.

They seemed to have encountered some strange bug and were missed by the town's "forgetting system".

And white horses.

After he returned to reality, everyone still remembered him.

If we control the variables, the difference between them is that Kotoko and Arthur, one went to the church, the other went to the client's old house, while Hakuba and Ukyo took Highway 12.

What's the difference between the highway and other entrances? A place like the Nibelungen doesn't have a main entrance and other entrances. If you enter through the main entrance, you're a normal guest entering the house, and the owner isn't angry, so your existence isn't erased? But if you enter through other entrances, you're automatically considered a stowaway? Does the owner get angry, and therefore erase your physical existence?

Ukyo originally thought he could find the answer in the setting collection that Shirley had given him. Perhaps the "owner of the house" he suspected was the "Queen of Death" whom they had never met.

But the reality disappointed Youjing.

In the setting collection, it has the ability to travel freely through various spaces. The planet where it is located was slaughtered by humans who were carrying out the 15th space colonization. Before it died, it activated its ability and brought its tribe to the town of Tribit in the late 20th century.
