Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 127
Chapter 127

—
Sometimes, in life, there are just things like this.
Things that can’t stand on their own.
Because the weight they bear is too heavy.
Just as a long plant is supported by a stake, for me, Steel Mentality was that support.
The moment the stake is removed, the stem can’t bear the weight and snaps, and I crumbled along with it.
What shouldn’t have happened, happened.
As my pillar disappeared, raw emotions seeped in.
Pain, fear, pain, fear… an endless cycle enveloped me.
“This… This can’t be happening…”
My chest felt tight. I clutched at it as if to tear my heart out.
Dietrich caught me as I tried to flee.
“Dietrich, lock that ominous woman up immediately!”
“Yes! Lock her up!”
I listened blankly to the undead’s words to Dietrich and then let out a bitter laugh.
“Lock… me up…?”
Lock me up now?
“Don’t do this, I don’t want to be locked up…”
I’m already trapped here.
“If you can’t kill her, lock her up, Dietrich! Lock her up in there!”
“I don’t want that. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it.”
“Where do you think you’re going!”
I shook off Dietrich’s arm to run away.
At that moment, an undead roughly grabbed my arm.
“Stop it, Alt.”
Dietrich hastily restrained the undead, who glared at him with bloodshot eyes.
“Dietrich! Are you going to let us die because of this woman?!”
Enough.
Don’t shout in front of me.
Their words made my head pound.
“I, I’m leaving. Dietrich, I’m leaving…”
“Dietrich! That woman must be locked up!”
“I’m already trapped here.”
“What?”
“I’m already…”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”
I shouted, looking at the system window.
“So arbitrary! Silencing me and shutting me up, how far will you go to have your way?!”
“Who do you think you’re shouting at?! Are you really insane?!”
Am I insane?
Just because I shouted once at the system window, I’m insane.
It’s absurdly laughable.
“If you were human, you’d all have gone insane.”
“……”
“…Too bad.”
I laughed triumphantly, but I couldn’t hide my twisted expression.

“Penalty…?”
That’s so funny. Everything’s so funny.
After tormenting me so much, how much more do you intend to torment me here?
I’m exhausted.
I just collapsed to the ground.
A plant with a broken stem can’t stand any longer.
I no longer have the strength to stand on my own.
I sat down, knees up, covering my face with my arms. Curling up like this felt like it might help a little.
Just like when I first entered this mansion, trying to endure until Steel Mentality turned on.
Back then, I also crouched down, arms wrapped around my head.
I felt a gaze looking down at me.
Drawn by that heat, I lifted my head, and there was Dietrich, looking at me with confused eyes.
“Come here, Dietrich.”
Now that we were both powerless, I could understand a little why he acted so pathetically.
You don’t have any support either.
Swaying like a reed without roots, yet silently enduring.
You’re better than me.
“You said you love me.”
“……”
“I’ll kiss you, so come here.”
Not even knowing what I was saying, I called out to Dietrich who stood frozen.
To call him closer, I grabbed the blade pointed at me.
I bled from the cut, but it didn’t matter.
No matter how damaged, my body heals itself as it must be preserved.
Like a delicate doll.
As I pulled on the blade, the man finally followed towards me.
The corpses without souls kept repeating their programmed command to kill me.
I grabbed Dietrich’s collar and pulled him closer.
