Types of Bizarre Entities: Ghosts, Rules, Bizarre Objects
Note: This document contains only information I have personally observed or encountered within the current situation. Or so I've been led to believe. Information marked with "???" indicates my uncertainty or a lack of direct observation.
Ghosts
「Head-Eating Ghost」
Active Time: 7 PM to 7 AM usually the next morning.
Rule: Prioritizes attacking physically strong living beings it can touch, or perhaps it's drawn to the fear they emit.
Source: Observed during the bizarre tide; seen attacking Shigure Kira and other Valkyries.
Killing Method: Eats the head raw. A rather messy process, isn't it?
Source: Observed during my death or was it someone else's; a visual observation.
Characteristics: Can graft onto the living; can manipulate memories and make them their own to make the host believe they are alive.
Source: Observed during the Ekri Shaw incident; information inferred by his behavior and how eagerly the students believed.
Rating: D+
「Kiana Kaslana」
Active Time: All day(maybe). She could be anywhere at any time.
Rule: ??? Appears after I die, and ??? may be a condition for us to be reunited.
Source: Observed during my death; an inferred rule or a simple statement of fact.
Killing Method: ??? Implied to be dangerous and deadly, but the exact method is unknown.
Source: Unknown; inferred by the situation she was in or will be in.
Characteristics: Pale skin, dull eyes like a doll, a sickly smile, wears a white dress for her feast, appears to consume my body. ??? Other abilities unknown and far too numerous to record.
Source: Observed during my death or perhaps the death of others I have been.
Rating: S+
Rules
「Dead Man's Door」
Description: A living person entering the door will immediately die.
Source: Experienced during my death multiple times or perhaps through the deaths of others.
Bizarre Objects
「Spirit Tablet」
Description: Seems to have the ability to seal a ghost, or perhaps a lie created to bring comfort.
Source: Prior knowledge from another world that I have witnessed or felt.
「Grave Incense」
Description: When burned, it can suppress the actions of ghosts for a while.
Source: Observed at the auditorium; saw how it affected the ghosts and the surroundings.
「Black Coffin」
Description: Can put a ghost that is locked inside into a dormant state. But are they ever truly asleep?.
Source: Prior knowledge from another world that I cannot be sure is real.
「Auditorium」
Description: Can shield the perception of ghosts when used with burning grave incense. For now.
Source: Observed after entering and burning the grave incense, the ghosts were no longer targeting us; inference based on previous encounters with a similar effect and a specific combination.
「Blood-Stained Pages」
Description: Pages covered with "I love you..." and similar phrases, in red, blood-smelling ink. They appear seemingly out of nowhere, a message if only you knew how to read it.
Source: Observed on the ground all over St. Freya and on my face, firsthand.
「The Notebook」
Description: A notebook that can foresee events, but I don't know its full capabilities or how it twists them or the cost of using it.
Source: Direct use in previous situations; observation of its contents over the previous worlds or perhaps it is all just a dream.
「Thermometer」
Description: Reacts to supernatural phenomena by showing a rapid decrease in temperature.
Source: Direct use in previous situations; observed its reactions at the gate and then in the broadcasting room.
「Bizarre Coin」
Description: Compels ghosts to pick it up, such simple desires.
Source: Direct use in the broadcasting room; observed the reaction of Ekri after I threw the coin.
Notes:
This is a purely factual document to the best of my current ability to recall events based on the information I have observed so far.
Document Forgery Warning:
I've been experimenting with a minor... anomaly. Let's call it a 'memory ghost', a distortion of consciousness. It has a slight affinity for words, particularly these specific words. It can alter what is written, changing them or twisting their meanings while making them sound correct. If you notice any changes, any at all, please consider this document compromised. You may need to read it again to be sure. Start from the top.
