What?! My anime figures have all come true!

Chapter 189 Tonight, a fourth party joins the hunt... in battle!

Lawrence was utterly panicked when his two powerful backers suddenly turned out to be the possible masterminds behind the scenes. He almost tripped and fell while walking, but he had to pretend that he hadn't noticed anything.

Fortunately, the Federation's greatest talent was deceiving themselves, so the two girls didn't realize it. (In his opinion)

It seems that the people of the Federation will only completely break down when they truly can't pay their bills.

Da da da————

A series of footsteps could be heard in the distance.

On their way to the church, the first enemies the three encountered were not the resurrected zombie villagers, but the villagers twisted by an inexplicable force—Derek's henchmen.

Lawrence panicked slightly when he saw them.

But then he thought that these villagers had mutated because of Abigail's pet cat, so they were probably Abigail's people, so they should be considered allies, right?

But the reality seems to be different.

Upon seeing the villagers whose backs of their heads had turned into crystal balls, both Nyarlathotep and Abigail adopted a fighting stance, showing no intention of considering them as allies.

"Could I have been mistaken?"

Lawrence, who had hidden himself to the side, pondered the matter, but his doubts were not completely dispelled.

Of course, this wasn't Nyaruko and Abigail's acting. While the villagers were indeed distorted by an indescribable force, like the feudal system of the Middle Ages (my vassal's vassal is not my vassal), the mutation caused by the magical surge triggered by Abigail's cat (Noshu) naturally had nothing to do with her.

Even Derek's admiration for Nosh stemmed more from the knowledge he gleaned from Nosh than from a genuine subservient relationship with him.

"Knowledge — is the taste of knowing — Awooooo — Black cat — you are black cats too —"

The moment those mentally unstable villagers saw the two, although they couldn't see the girl's true form (the elephant in the house), the feeling that she shared the same origin as the black cat immediately put them into a hostile state.

"Mom! Come on in!"

Nyarko excitedly struck a strange fighting pose.

Compared to Nyaruko's exaggerated actions, Abigail simply frowned slightly while hugging her teddy bear. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were filled with disgust for the conflict.

It's clear that Abigail truly dislikes fighting.

At least she doesn't like this posture.

Lawrence: — Did I really misunderstand her?

Compared to Nyarko, Lawrence was unwilling to doubt her savior, but the black cat that caused the village's strange changes happened to be her pet.

As for the battle itself, it was very brief.

It's nothing more than Nyarlathotep stepping forward and using a crowbar to burst star dumplings (similar to human pus in Dark Souls) from the back of those heads.

The villagers were beaten to death one by one.

What exactly is this "cosmic CQC" she's talking about?

This girl named Nyaruko is more ruthless than the psychopaths in those Category III horror movies; her fighting style is nothing like that of a normal fighter!

Furthermore, it's unknown what material the crowbar in her hand is made of. Normally, it's just a tool that Federation people use to pry open doors and play around with zero-dollar purchases, but in the hands of this silver-haired girl, it can actually kill a mutated monster villager with a single blow!

Nyarko: She's a beautiful girl! Beautiful! Girl!

As for the remaining villagers, they were obliterated by the light summoned by Abigail with a wave of her hand.

But what exactly are those dazzling lights?

Is it magic or superpowers?

Lawrence, who was watching from the sidelines, was full of doubts. At the same time, he felt his eyes were a little sore. In a daze, he seemed to see something hidden under that layer of light.

Unfortunately, the battle ended too quickly, and before Lawrence could even see what was inside, Abigail stopped summoning the light.

Moreover, he didn't dare to ask Abigail directly.

(The dice: Tsk, you escaped again.)

While Nyarko and Abigail were eliminating the villagers under Derek's command, a group of people were watching from the top of the cliff outside the village.

They were all fully armed soldiers. Although their faces were obscured by masks, their weapons, equipment, and mannerisms clearly indicated that they were far more advanced than the National Guard guards stationed at the entrance.

It's only because a certain corpse collector has granted everyone spiritual vision that, otherwise who would have thought that in the Federation, private armed forces could be stronger than the Federation's National Guard?

In other words, there were more National Guard troops, and they were also heavily armed and had sealed off the area. Otherwise, they would really wonder which side was the regular army.

"Those two girls—are they from another company, or from 'that world'?"

Compared to Lawrence, whose thinking was deeply ingrained and whose mind was still a bit fuzzy after experiencing ups and downs in a short period of time, the company representative on the cliff immediately thought of two possibilities when he saw Nyaruko and Abigail fighting with the mutated villagers through the telescope.

Moreover, the second possibility is the most likely!

"They really seem to be everywhere. Last time it was in Egypt, and this time they've gone all the way to the Federation's territory. I'm really curious about what kind of places Mary Nightmare's Gate of Realm can't open."

The adjutant next to him took down the binoculars, his expression somewhat wistful. He then turned to his superior and asked, "Sir, should we let them handle this, or—"

"Ask the company for their opinion."

The officer answered without the slightest emotional fluctuation, just like a robot.

Soon, a senior company executive contacted the officer via communicator, speaking in a very arrogant tone.

[Judge, continue your mission. All resources here belong to the Corporation, and not even the people of that world can stop us! This isn't Egypt; this is the Federation! Even if you kill them, no one will know—]

After all, it's not like Egypt back then, where other countries were watching. Now they're on their own territory, surrounded only by their own people, so no one outside will know what's going on.

Furthermore, they were eager to study how the existence of that world differed from their own, and to see if they could find out why their power was so strong!

[Dr. Richard is already on his way; hopefully, by the time he arrives, you will have eliminated their will to resist.]

""

The troop commander, known as the "Judge," remained silent for a moment. His instinct for danger told him that he absolutely could not provoke the other party (Nyaruko and Abigail), but the orders from above were not to be questioned, and his body could not disobey.

"I see."

Thanks to Nyaruko and Abigail for eliminating a wave of villagers from both sides, the defenses of both sides against the company were somewhat weakened.

Finally, the company's special forces and several superheroes successfully stormed into the village.

A tense and exciting melee is about to begin.

However, what the company's soldiers didn't know was that while they were observing the village from the cliff, there was another fiery red figure standing on another cliff top, who could see them without even needing binoculars.

However, their attention wasn't on these roughnecks, but on the villages below.

"Nyaruko, I've come to find you—"
