Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

However, this raises two questions about the whole incident: firstly, why does the little girl named Pear Blossom smell sweet?

However, none of the other people in the village had this appetite-stimulating reaction.

Another question is why the other villagers, unaware of the research, treated the group with such a strange attitude, prompting the group to ask them further.

Kerry pointed to a few people over there.

They understood each other perfectly and dragged one of them to the riverbank, shoving his head into the icy water.

Once the other person woke up, they talked by the river, and Zhen wanted to separate Pear Blossom and interrogate the adult separately to find out what had happened.

"Where is the research institute located?"

"Irie Clinic...the only hospital in Hinamizawa."

"Dr. Irie is a good person. Satoko was sick before, and it was he who developed the antidote and cured her."

This time, Pear Blossom didn't mention the kitten anymore; she was tired of making up stories.

However, Rika felt a little relieved now. Judging from these people's reactions, they didn't seem to be there to kill her, but rather to take advantage of the research institute.

I don't know if they're trying to steal research results.

However, Pear Blossom didn't care. All she wanted was for her and her friends to survive June. She didn't care about anything else at the moment.

A short while later, Kazuma returned, dragging the interrogation subject who had fallen unconscious again.

The group checked the information.

The specific details are almost the same. Although the possibility of collusion cannot be ruled out, the probability is already very low.

The information I got from that person was:

These units, called "Yamagu," are all retired Self-Defense Force members. Their main task is to clear out infected people who are sick, and they call this infectious disease "Hinamizawa Syndrome."

When the illness occurs, it is divided into five levels, from Lv.1 to Lv.5.

At level 3, patients will begin to experience hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, while at level 5, patients will become extremely aggressive, so regular treatment is necessary.

Regardless of race, anyone who lives in this area for a long time will get it. The initial assessment is that it may be caused by a virus in the water that cannot be killed by high temperatures.

However, this virus is very strange; it disappears from the host shortly after leaving, and research progress is currently slow.

There's also a hidden message in the pear blossom.

That is why Pear Blossom is called the Queen Infected because her family seems to have some kind of ability to emit hormones that suppress the virus. They are special individuals, which is why they were chosen as research subjects.

"Hey, little cat, you didn't tell us you were some kind of Queen Infected."

Kerry gave Pear Blossom a dangerous look.

Pear Blossom was somewhat surprised. She hadn't seen these people speak at all, nor had she seen them wearing headphones. How were they communicating?

She had her reasons for not mentioning this; she speculated that the group might have come seeking research results.

If you are important research material, you might be killed so that their research can be stopped, or you might be taken away to another place to continue the research.

She didn't want that kind of future, so she kept it a secret. However, she didn't expect that the Mountain Dogs would be so loose-lipped and betray her in just a few minutes.

Pear Blossom felt a chill run down her spine and could only resort to using her good looks to act cute.

"The kitten forgot to say 'meow'..."

Then she looked at the group of people with fear, afraid that they would start worrying her at any moment.

However, the people on the other side became troubled after learning this information.

Perhaps it's because of her status as some kind of infected queen that the little girl exudes a fragrance.

Now things are getting complicated. According to what that mountain dog guy said, Pear Blossom has an extremely special status in this village. After Pear Blossom went missing, the whole village is definitely looking for her, and our car is in danger.

Also, the Mountain Dog unit doesn't just consist of these six; there are a total of seven or eight vans and almost 50 vanmen.

It's unrealistic to storm the research institute when the whole village is just wandering around aimlessly.

However, if they release Lihua, and she goes back and talks nonsense, their situation won't be much better than it is now.

So we can't release the pear blossoms, and we can't release these military personnel either. But it seems like killing them wouldn't be good either. If there's really nothing fishy going on here, and people who really came to treat the local diseases are all being taken advantage of, wouldn't it be harmful if the disease spread?

And then there's Pear Blossom. If she can indeed suppress the villagers' illness, killing her might cause problems.

So the group didn't make a move yet, leaving all the prisoners aside and huddled together to discuss the matter.

"Tsk, this situation is really difficult."

Kazuma scratched his head.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect the government to actually have some effect. It's really not like Paradox Interactive players."

Kerry heard Kazuma's words and sensed that something was amiss.

So Kerry countered with a question about truth.

"If you were a Paradox Interactive player, how would you handle this?"

"Then of course we'll burn this place to the ground. It'll only reduce the population by two thousand, but it will prevent a large-scale outbreak."

Kazuma said it casually.

Kerry finally figured out what was wrong.

The Japanese government is not a regime that grants equality to everyone. How could it possibly leave such a ticking time bomb by its side and allow these villagers to open their village to the public on their own initiative?

Chapter 135 Village Chief! You must stand up for me!

The group discussed the matter but couldn't reach a conclusion.

However, if that clinic can treat patients, it's best to go and have a look. The villagers' attitude is also problematic; it's best to investigate.

Moreover, Kazuma unleashed his extraordinary wisdom.

“Since we’re going to investigate the research institute, I have a plan.”

At this point, the research institute would definitely be heavily guarded, making it impossible to sneak in. You would either be caught or find a way to infiltrate.

Kazuma explained his groundbreaking plan, which was approved by several people.

An hour later, Kazuma and Kirito, their clothes tattered, bypassed the forest they had just entered and arrived at the village.

[Sato Kazuma: Good. I see that the villagers here are all normal. It seems that the research institute did not tell the villagers about Rika's disappearance. We will proceed with Plan 1.]

So Kazuma and Kirito, looking disheveled, randomly found a villager with a cloth draped over his shoulder.

"Not good! Not good!"

"what happened?"

The villager looked at Kirito and Kazuma with a puzzled expression.

"Lady Rika has been kidnapped! We saw it with our own eyes! Our companions and Lady Rika were abducted by several people who got out of a white van!"

"what?!"

The villager was terrified upon hearing this and frantically shouted.

"Hey! Hey! Everyone! Everyone! Something's happened! Someone here said Lady Rika is in trouble!"

He Zhen's plan has one premise: if the villagers are found searching the whole mountain for someone, then Plan 2 will be implemented, which involves infiltration.

If not, then proceed with option 1!

According to the intelligence, these villagers care a lot about Rika, the only shrine maiden, and will definitely look for her if something happens to her. If the intelligence is true, the villagers are unaware of this matter, so we can take advantage of this interesting intelligence gap.

Anyway, there's no loss if they fail; they can just go back to the fountain to revive.

Unlike Xiangzi, who is a ninja who is like Shadows Die Twice when he is with Kerry, but becomes a little knight waiting to be resurrected when he leaves, and can only play the role of a guard protecting Kerry's campfire.

As more and more villagers gathered, the village chief, whom they had met before, also arrived. Kazuma spread his hands in a hysterical manner.

"Our companions! Our two companions who came to investigate together!"

We were on the road with the witch from your village, and she was showing us around the scenery! Suddenly, several people got out of a van and attacked us. We barely escaped with our lives, but the other two are still in their hands.

"Those are the people in the white van! You've seen them before, haven't you? They're from your village. If we've offended your village in any way, we apologize. Please release our companions!"

"What?! Calm down!"

Upon hearing that Rika had been kidnapped, the village chief was horrified. He didn't care what happened to outsiders, but Rika was the head of the Furude family, one of the three great families of this generation, and she absolutely could not be allowed to fall!

He was anxious to calm Kazuma down.

Kazuma, however, is a maniac; the more people tell him to calm down, the more excited he becomes.

"Calm down! How can we calm down! Look at my injuries!"

He then exposed the skin that Kerry had used a stun gun on.

The two of them put in a lot of effort to perform in this play.

Everyone saw it and started discussing it, saying it was true; they occasionally saw white vans in the village, but they didn't know who drove them.

Actually, there was a guess in the village that they were the private soldiers of the Sonozaki family, that is, the family of the green-haired Sonozaki Mion.

Their family are local councilors, and are said to have yakuza connections. They are also the richest family in the area. In the past few years, whenever something happened, the current head of the Sonozaki family would show a strange smile. In this small village, the Sonozaki family's words carry more weight than the government's.

Upon hearing that it was those vans, some people actually believed it.

Because, if it was the Sonozaki family who did it, then it's quite possible!

That's how it is in this village. Whenever someone says that the Sonozaki family did something bad, the first reaction is never to question them, but to help the Sonozaki family cover it up.

However, if it really was the Sonozaki family who did it, then there's nothing they can do; if not, there still needs to be a result.

After thinking for a moment, the village chief still grabbed Kazuma and asked him an excited question.

"Where is the location? Where were you attacked? Take us there! How do we know you're not lying to us?"

Kazuma found it strange that the villagers seemed to be behaving oddly, as if they didn't know that the car belonged to the clinic.

Was the intelligence incorrect?

So Kazuma waved goodbye.

"Okay, I'll take you there!"
