With the cheerful mood restored by the signing of a contract, Zen's earlier displeasure at being stopped by two psychopaths dissipated as he looked at the next name on his profile [Lady In Closet]. This client was close by, and when he looked at the directions, he saw that he could walk two blocks ahead to the place. Two contracts in an afternoon were good enough, and Zen was planning to sign up later and call it a day if he could.

It wasn't good to be overworked, especially for a heavy internet addict like him, and he couldn't wait to experience the holographic headset.

"I really want to see if the world in the holographic game will really be like the fantasy world in the novels, like being in a real world." he wondered.

Perhaps we could experience the world of the [Age of Death], where the setting is similar to that of Earth, which gives Zen a nostalgic feeling. With this in mind, he navigated away, leaving behind him a stunned Giant Eye who once again climbed up to the traffic light, dying, and was enveloped by the inner world. And on the street, the humans manipulated by the giant eye fell to the ground and took a long time to wake up.

There was a screaming confusion as they spotted the two public officials across the street in a pool of blood. Zen was oblivious to the chaos behind him. He soon arrived at the flat where his client, the woman in the closet, was located and, after making his intentions clear, the security guard sitting in the security room opened the door to his flat with a shudder and he was able to enter and wait for the lift to reach the seventeenth floor, room 23, as described in the file.

At that moment, on the seventeenth floor, in room 23, a high school girl named Osaiki was in the room.

The high school girl named Osaiki was nervously holding a kitchen knife in her hand and looking into every corner of the empty room.

"...... Come on out! I'm not afraid of you!"

Osaiki's sweat-soaked hair was pressed to her cheeks and her pale lips trembled as she tried to stay calm. She pressed herself against the wall, not daring to expose her back, and the kitchen knife she held in her hand trembled, the backs of her sinewy hands revealing her fear. In this bachelor pad room, Osaiki's voice alone echoes with an unmistakable sense of eeriness.

Looking around, she is alone in the room, yet the atmosphere is extraordinarily oppressive as if a ghastly ghost might appear everywhere.

And the truth is, there is indeed a ghost in this house that has yet to show itself.

In the corner of the room, Osaiki's unclothed feet hit the cold wooden floor, and the coldness spread from her feet to her limbs, and she gulped, suppressing her fear and almost crying. She had originally thought that she could escape the nightmare after successfully escaping from the psychic bus, but she had never thought that ghosts and monsters were really everywhere, and she could not avoid them even when she returned home.

After taking Jiang Yi to the hospital for treatment last night, she only returned home this morning, only to encounter a home invasion robber before she could rest for long. Perhaps it was too unlucky that along with the robber came a long-haired female ghost. Osaiki was terrified of the gun in the robber's hand, but the next thing she knew, she was stunned by the long-haired ghost behind him.

Only to see the female ghost, who had poked her upper body out of the cupboard, grab the robber's head with her long red nails, almost lifting his skull right off with such force that the scalp tore and blood popped out. Then, amidst the screams of the robber, the female ghost yanked the robber's head with both hands and dragged him alive into the cupboard. The cupboard, as Osaiki clearly remembers, was only a small cupboard for small objects, not to mention a person, and a slightly larger vase would not have fit in it. But it was so unbelievable that the adult-sized robber had been dragged into the cupboard.
