Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

Shortly after Mercury ran away, Shuichi and his friends followed the noise and found their way here.

Seeing the open door, the group cautiously entered.

"What is this?" Shuichi's hair stood on end, and he instinctively stepped in front of Kirie.

The beam of a flashlight slowly swept across the enormous laboratory, illuminating rows of culture chambers and the few remaining twisted bodies submerged in liquid.

A central sunken circular platform, and... that shockingly large hole in the ceiling.

The beam of light finally stopped on the Deep One's corpse inside the incubation chamber.

Shuichi's hands began to tremble, and the beam of the flashlight flickered across the corpse.

This thing gave him a very ominous feeling!

That feeling was like...like...

Black Nest Town!

The bald professor also looked over, and when he saw the scene in the laboratory, he burst into indescribable excitement!

"This...this is a mermaid!?"

He muttered to himself as he ran quickly toward the central incubation chamber.

Kirie stood behind Shuichi, looking at the contents of the incubation chambers, her face pale.

The security captain scanned the area warily, his gun always pointed into the shadows.

Something's really wrong with this place.

What's the cause of the hole in the ceiling?

What are those things in the incubation chambers?

Was that deafening roar from here?

"Shuichi! Take samples! Quickly, take samples!" The bald professor rushed to the culture chamber, his hands trembling as he stroked the walls. "All of them! All samples must be collected! This will be a huge contribution to the question of whether humans can survive in the sea!"

"Teacher, there are too many, we can't take them all with us," Xiuyi said.

He looked around warily.

"This is?"

He winked at Tong Hui, signaling her to stall the teacher for a bit.

He then squatted down on the patch of fine salt and began to study it.

……

On the other side, Kirie was pulled over and also calmed down.

He asked in a low voice, "Teacher, what is this?"

When the bald professor spoke about this issue, his voice trembled, and the excitement in his eyes stunned everyone.

"Mermaids...a race that lives in underwater cities according to legend, and some believers call them Deep Divers. I thought it was just mythology, just a legend..."

Countless oceanographers have searched for nearly a century, but none have been able to confirm their existence!

He suddenly turned his head and stared at Kirie, his eyes bloodshot.

"Do you know what this means? It means that perhaps the legendary R'lyeh really exists! That all the legends are true!"

Kirie was startled.

R'lyeh?

For some reason, just hearing the name made her feel nauseous!

As Shuichi listened, he looked at the hole in the ceiling.

The salt grains were distributed directly opposite the hole.

And salt...

An absurd idea popped into his head.

Could it be...?

……

On the train.

After Mercury threw the three men to the floor, he kicked the train hard.

"What are you waiting for, you idiot? Get out of here!"

The Kisaragi Train trembled violently from the kick, and the metal carriages emitted a twisting, groaning sound as if they were about to collapse under the strain.

Then, as if fleeing for their lives, they suddenly darted away.

From the depths of the sea, the enormous shadow roared once more.

A giant hand emerged from the trench, only to be pulled back by a sudden underwater tornado just as it was about to leave the abyss.

Mercury, who was constantly watching outside, saw all of this and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Thank goodness~ Looks like I'm not going to die."

"Are you afraid?"

Yukino Yukinoshita sensed something was wrong.

I never expected there would be something this guy was afraid of.

What exactly is it?

"How much better is it than that fused-together thing?"

"It's not about how much stronger you are," Mercury chuckled, his tone tinged with lingering fear.

"Yukino, I'm really strong, aren't I?"

"Indeed, though I hate to admit it, you are the strongest person I have ever met."

At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression was indescribable.

Although I often criticize him, I have to admit that this guy's strength is probably enough to destroy a small country.

Just like the battle in the sky above Chiba City last time, the salt tide that blotted out the sun caused the Yukinoshita Group members who came to attend the funeral to die without even having time to react.

"Yes, I am very strong. Even if a monster the size of a planet came from outer space right now, although I couldn't stop it from destroying civilization, I could survive and even wear it down."

"and you……"

"Let me finish." Mercury looked at her and the two eavesdroppers seriously: "This little broken ball is different. There are many monsters here, more than you can imagine."

There are countless disasters that could destroy human civilization, and those monsters have carved out their own territories.

One piece here, one piece there, who knows when one of them will appear and teach humanity how to be civilized.

Just like with Nefui last time, without me stopping her, she could have wiped out Japan all by herself, and I almost died there.”

This statement undoubtedly shocked Yukino's worldview.

In her mind, monsters were only capable of paralyzing a city; such things that could destroy civilization were too far removed from her imagination.

Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, wanting to refute from a scientific point of view, but couldn't say a word for a long time.

A monster that destroyed human civilization?

And there's more than one?

How is that possible...?

Who is Nefui?

After a long silence, Yukino Yukinoshita finally spoke and asked.

"You've met the owner of that little restaurant last time."

Mercury casually remarked, "Speaking of which, you don't watch TV, do you? She's responsible for the deaths of millions of people, and this is just the aftermath of our battle."

A world-destroying monster is right beside me?

Yukino Yukinoshita's lips twitched.

She can no longer tell which of his statements are true and which are false.
