Pear Blossom was extremely anxious, so she had no choice but to pull the group along and continue walking.

As they walked, Pear Blossom grew a little impatient.

Pear Blossom glanced back at the distance, where several uniformed men who had gotten out of a white van were hiding.

Those people lingering here are probably there to protect her.

If I pretend to be threatened by these people, they should rush up and tie them up, right?

If these people aren't helping you, they might actually be the real culprit.

Anyway, the real culprit has never shown up before! If all else fails, just tie them up and question them...

The only thing is... As she thought about it, Pear Blossom looked up and glanced at Kerry with some apprehension.

Now that she's over and chatted with him for a bit, she really feels that he's becoming more and more like that being. She doesn't dare let the people behind her make a move. This time, she can't rush things; she has to take it slow and steady!

So Pear Blossom walked to an intersection and took a deep breath.

"Well, it's getting late. Pear Blossom will come help the older brothers and sisters again tomorrow..."

Before Pear Blossom could finish speaking, she saw the gentle and kind older sister beside her grab her shoulder, cover her mouth, pull her onto her body, hoist her up, and run away! She rushed towards a nearby grove of trees.

Then, the three older brothers skillfully rushed to the entrance of the forest, squatted down behind the trees and in the grass, and began to unpack their instrument bags. Then, various weapons appeared in Rinka's eyes.

Pear Blossom's eyes widened.

Oh no, meow!

Chapter 133 The Cat is Bewildered.

Feeling herself being carried away, Pear Blossom panicked instantly.

Oh no, could this really be the culprit?

Because Pear Blossom loses her memories of the period before her death in each reincarnation, but she dies every time, she has been wondering for the past hundred years who killed her.

This group of people appeared for some unknown reason, and now they suddenly picked her up and ran away, making her wonder if they were actually the real culprit? It's just that the real culprit acted beforehand because of some of her previous behavior.

So she mustered all the strength of the elementary school students and punched and kicked Xiangzi.

And then... it had no effect whatsoever!

It's not like some little blondie has superhuman strength. Little Pear Blossom never exercises and always drowns her sorrows in alcohol. Her physical condition is completely poor, so when she hits Xiangzi, it doesn't hurt at all.

Sure enough, at the entrance to the woodland, several men in work uniforms hurriedly chased after them, talking on walkie-talkies as they did so.

"Report! The infected mother has been kidnapped at... Waaaaa!"

Kerry and his men suddenly sprang up from the forest.

"Don't underestimate us! We're all retired elite members of the Self-Defense Forces! Quack!"

Kirito elbowed one man in the chest, then grabbed the hat off another man's head and pulled it down to block his vision, before delivering a powerful punch to his chin.

Kerry, wielding the axe he'd obtained from loot drops, slapped someone on the back of the head with the side, dodged a stun gun pulled out by someone nearby, and kicked the person to the ground.

Kazuma pulled a handful of lime from the bag, threw it, and knocked one person down with a hook punch. Then he pointed his pistol at the back of the last person who turned around and tried to run away.

"Stop, and shut up."

Six well-trained elites, who were actually no match for even a junior high school student from Hinamizawa in close combat, were all taken down in 2 seconds by the three who suddenly attacked.

Putting Kirito aside, all of Kerry and Kazuma's combat experience comes from life-or-death battles, and the tricks they've mastered are all about how to kill people; their main strength is ruthlessness.

Finally, the man looked at the gun pointed at him in terror and raised his hands in surrender.

Kazuma beckoned the other person over with his finger. The other person shook his head repeatedly when he saw the loaded pistol, but still obediently walked over.

"Ugh!"

Kazuma delivered a follow-up elbow strike, knocking him down as well.

[Kerry: These people might be wearing tracking devices; their clothes have been stripped off.]

While typing, Kerry spoke to those people in real life.

“Shut your mouths. Maybe reinforcements will come, but you will all die. Now give me a fake location.”

Several of them, who were not unconscious, chose to compromise when faced with the cold muzzle of a gun. One of them took out a communicator, pressed the call button, and shouted.

"We...we are at the mine site, requesting support."

It seems these people are smart enough not to resort to force. However, Kerry and his group weren't sure if the mine was the code name they had given to this area. They exchanged glances, stripped the people down to their innermost clothes, and dragged them two by two, leading them through the woods into the mountains.

Twenty minutes later, Kazuma turned back and cleaned up the tracks a little, but considering that the trail of dragging through the grass might still be discovered.

After dragging the group for another 20 minutes, they arrived at the classic scene of Hinamizawa Bridge and the riverbed, where they stopped.

Dragging was practically torture. In addition, their clothes were stripped off, and the people who were dragged over were covered in scratches. Even the three who were originally awake had already passed out.

Upon arriving at the location, the group took out ropes and skillfully tied the men's hands and feet together. They then used gloves to pull off their socks and stuff them into their mouths.

Everyone turned their attention to Furude Rika, who had already started to cry.

He tied her hands behind her back, then Xiangzi released them, and Keli stepped forward.

What is your relationship with them?

Xiangzi went to the river to wash her hands, which were covered in pear blossom's saliva. The elementary school student tried to bite her several times, but she stopped him each time.

Looking at the four people surrounding her, Pear Blossom, whose feet were not bound, staggered to her feet.

Her pupils turned into a color like glass, and she stared intently at everyone as if she had awakened some kind of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

"You! You bastards! Pigs! Scum! It seems it's you..."

After years of being tormented by reincarnation, Rika has developed a degree of schizophrenia, with symptoms far more severe than those of Ob, the girl with the first letter of her name. Because of the constant reincarnation, her rational personality inevitably feels like she's collecting clues in a video game in hopes of completing the level, while her emotional self remains that of an elementary school student.

She even gave this persona a name, named after the brand of liquor she drank most often: "Berencaster."

The change in her eyes was a sign that her witch personality was emerging.

"Hehehe! So it's you all? So many years, so many..."

Pear Blossom grinned, making a wicked face like someone who'd been playing too much Yu-Gi-Oh!.

"Snapped!"

Kerry slapped her across the face, and Pear Blossom's eyes instantly returned to their clear, bright state after the slap.

Pear Blossom has some misunderstandings about them. She still thinks these people are the real culprits who killed her in so many reincarnations, so she originally wanted to commit suicide to avoid being tortured by these people. However, her head was quickly grabbed by Kerry's big hand.

“If you don’t tell us, we can ask the others as well.”

Kerry pointed to the people around him with his toes.

Teacher Da Xiang, who was standing nearby, felt a little sorry for the little cutie who had just been meowing, but was now being tormented like this. So, with the intention of helping her out, he spoke in a slightly gentler tone.

“Pear Blossom, don’t be nervous. If they forced you to do some kind of human experiment, don’t be afraid. You’re still young and don’t understand many things.”

"Tell me, and your older brothers and sisters will definitely help you."

Because Kerry received intelligence from the beginning that this place was likely conducting human experiments, their suspicions were that this place was also doing something strange.

However, Kerry, Kazuma, and Kirito, three veteran anime fans, all showed no mercy towards this kind of little girl.

After all, there are plenty of old women in the world of anime and manga who disguise themselves as little girls.

Who knows, this thing in front of me might be some kind of vampire or succubus, a dark creature that's pretending to be a primary school student and might even be a cannibal like a ghoul.

Kazuma, in particular, had a deep memory of what happened with Kirishiki Sako. She looked like a primary school student, but she was actually an old hag who had lived for hundreds of years by eating people.

Because Rika had previously tried biting her tongue and failed to commit suicide, she was still wondering whether to bang her head on the ground. But when she heard this, she finally realized that something was wrong.

It seems there's an information gap between our side and these other people's side.

However, the possibility that these people are the real culprits cannot be ruled out. But thinking that it was the last round anyway, Rika decided to go all out.

"Waaah... My older brothers and sisters are so scary... They are the ones who protect the kitten. The kitten has a strange disease that no one outside has ever seen before, so they are protecting the kitten to see how the disease progresses."

Chapter 134 Suspicion and Turning Point.

"A kitten? What a silly metaphor."

Kazuma's吐槽 (tucao, a form of humorous commentary/criticism).

Pear Blossom felt a tightness in her chest halfway through her speech.

I was just trying to look cute, wasn't I? Who would say something so cruel to a little girl?!

But I forced myself to finish what I had to say.

"There is a strange disease in the village where the cats live. Sometimes when the disease strikes, they can't control themselves and will bite people outside. So before, the cats didn't dare to go out or let others in. But as time went by, the cats gradually developed antibodies to the strange disease and are usually good cats."

Furthermore, there are kind-hearted dogs in the village who help the cats research treatments, and the kittens are their research subjects. They don't mistreat the kittens; they're just afraid the kittens will be in danger, so the dogs protect the kittens, meow!

Pear Blossom made a face as if she was about to cry and drop her pearls, and spoke with a somewhat aggrieved tone.

Xiangzi, however, seemed to click with the radio wave, and spoke with a furrowed brow.

"Do the other cats know about your research?"

"I don't know, Mimi. Only my parents, Satoko's parents, and I in the village might know."

Several people remembered that she had previously mentioned that she and Shaduko were now like Harry Potter and Batman, respectively, meaning that she was probably the only ordinary resident in the entire village who knew about this.

The group translated the old man's riddle.

It is suspected that there is a strange disease here, and people who are infected will go crazy and attack others, so the village was closed off before, and after several generations of people have lived with the virus.

It is likely that those infected with the virus who had severe symptoms and those with weak antibodies were killed.

Under natural selection, there is no difference between ordinary people and patients, so the decision was made to open up to the public.

This group of people are researching medical treatments, and this little girl is their research subject.

If this information is combined with the intelligence that Kerry and his group obtained from the village chief, and if they believe that the so-called Tokyo organization is a group of people with both good and bad members, they can actually deduce the truth.

That means the research funding Tokyo allocated was for studying this virus, and even for finding ways to treat it. This doesn't make sense, since a government organization probably wouldn't want to see this strange virus spread.
