Crossover Anime: Infinite God Creation, Yukinoka's Familia

---

Even after 10 p.m., the barbecue restaurant was still bustling.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding diners, Luo Tian and Jinmu Chizuka each grabbed one of Nakahara Mizuki's arms and led her out of the shop.

Nishiki Chizuka complained, "Mizuki-nee, have you gotten heavier? You're much harder to lift than before."

"You brat, who says girls are heavy!" Nakahara Mizuki reached out and pinched Luo Tian's left cheek, pinching hard a few times but unable to budge it. She exclaimed in confusion, "Huh? That's strange. Why has your face become rough? Didn't you use the skincare products I recommended?"

"You've sculpted the wrong person." Luo Tian said speechlessly. "Besides, my skin is rough, I'm really sorry."

Takina Inoue whispered, "Your skin is actually very good; using some toner will make it even smoother."

Luo Tian turned his head in confusion, and Inoue Takina immediately looked away shyly: "It's nothing."

Mika, who was also slightly drunk, said with a troubled expression, "Mizuki drank too much, and I'm a bit tipsy too. My head is spinning, so Chizuka and the others have to drive."

Chizuka Nishiki said helplessly, "Mika, you shouldn't drive after drinking."

She suddenly remembered something and said to Luo Tian, ​​"By the way, you live in Ikebukuro, Nerima Ward, right? It's not on our way. How about Takina drives you back?"

Inoue Takina was stunned on the spot, and Luo Tian quickly waved his hand: "No need, I'll take the subway, it's still early."

Do you all live near the cafes in Chiyoda?

Mika shook her head: "We take turns guarding the coffee shop, and there are also dedicated staff at the back door. We usually live outside."

When you join, you'll also be taking turns on duty, but since you're new, you'll need to get used to it for a month before we start scheduling shifts.

Luo Tiangang nodded, and Mika then said to Inoue Takina, "Takina, I'm on duty today, and Mizuki also lives in Chiyoda. Can you take us there?"

"You and Chizuka live together, is it okay if you drive separately?"

"No problem, the safe house garage is big enough," Inoue Takina replied calmly. "For safety, we rent three safe houses and take turns living in them. The one we've been staying in recently is in the port area, which has three garages."

Chizuka Nishiki pouted: "The rent in the port area is super expensive. With daily expenses, Takina and I have basically spent all our salaries. I'm thinking of taking on some extra work to earn some money so we can buy our own house."

Mika quipped, "You're just complaining about not getting any extra money today, aren't you?"

Nishiki Chizuki didn't refute, but turned to Luo Tian and explained, "We at SDS can get a bonus for recycling Abyss artifacts and handing them over to the research institute."

A first-class artifact costs 500,000 yen, a second-class artifact costs 2 million yen, and a third-class artifact costs 10 million yen. This is just for research expenses; the artifact itself is still ours.

The bonus would be even greater if we were willing to hand over the items, but the leader said it wasn't worth it and suggested we store them in a special warehouse, where the organization would use public funds to send people to guard them.

"Once you find an artifact from the abyss, hand it over for research to get a reward. You can also test out its side effects, making it easier for you to use it yourself."

"We store it in the warehouse when we're not using it, and there are welfare benefits," Nishiki Chizuka joked with a grin. "But there are risks in storing it; the boss might secretly use it when she's angry."

For example, the Kusanagi Sword is an Abyss artifact stored by the higher-ups, and the Big Sister used it without reporting it today.

Inoue Takina's expression changed, and she quickly tugged at her sleeve: "Chizuka, don't tell me the secret!"

Once she made sure no one was paying attention, Inoue Takina breathed a sigh of relief and gently nudged Nishiki Chizuka.

Nishiki Chizuka let go, and Nakahara Mizuki leaned on Luo Tian's shoulder. Fortunately, Luo Tian's physical fitness had been improving recently, so he wasn't overwhelmed.

Luo Tian wondered to himself, "There's a reward for recycling Abyss artifacts?" But he couldn't reveal the Abyss artifacts he possessed, so the large reward was basically out of his reach. He could only exchange the artifacts that SDS already knew about for money, which he found regrettable.

Before long, the group arrived at the parking lot and helped Nakahara Mizuki into the car.

Chizuka Nishiki pointed at the red Ferrari and said with a smile, "You really don't need me to drive you? A beautiful car and a beautiful woman will take you there."

Luo Tian's lips twitched: "Compared to a Ferrari worth tens of millions, I'd rather ride a subway worth hundreds of billions. A sports car can only carry one person, but a subway can hold many people."

Chizuka Nishiki paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "That's hilarious!"

Seeing that Luo Tian insisted on leaving on his own, Jinmu Qian Shu waved goodbye and said, "Then I'll go first, see you next time."

Luo Tian watched the two drive away, looked up at the moon in the night sky, and exhaled a breath of stale air: "Go home and rest. We'll deal with the intelligence Sharon sent tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked towards the nearby subway station.

As the nightlife of the SDS members came to an end, the actions of the others involved in this incident were just beginning that night.

That's the situation on site.

In the dimly lit conference room of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ryoko Yakushiji, dressed in a white suit, stood in front of the projection screen, reporting the details of the Sharon incident to the high-ranking officers of the Metropolitan Police Department present.

The screen showed a blue Ferrari crashed into the highway guardrail. The license plate number was Shinagawa 5999. It was Yakushiji Ryoko's car. It was now severely damaged, with the front of the car cracked, the tires off, and the frame twisted and deformed.

In the footage, several investigators are carefully collecting evidence in the car.

"So, Sharon suddenly disappeared into thin air in her car while fleeing towards Chiba at high speed?" Tachibana Kiri sat in the audience, looking at Yakushiji Ryoko with great interest, her tone somewhat amused.

As a police superintendent, Kaori Tachibana is qualified to attend this meeting. She is also one of the intelligence providers, but unlike Ryoko Yakushiji, she does not have to go on stage to report.

There were also fifteen high-ranking officials from the Metropolitan Police Department in the audience, all listening attentively to the report.

After all, this was a major incident involving the use of mortars within a metropolitan area. If it weren't for strict media control, it would have made headlines the very next day.

Ryoko Yakushiji was the lowest-ranking person present, and even with her background as a member of a conglomerate, she seemed to lack confidence in the face of this sudden situation.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely tense, and Yakushiji Ryoko's tone of voice lacked its usual assertiveness and toughness.

"Based on a comprehensive assessment of the surveillance footage from the highway section, Sharon did indeed use some special method to disappear completely in an instant, thus escaping our entire tracking process."

"The terrorists simply vanished into thin air while sitting in a speeding vehicle, without even being detected by surveillance cameras."

"This... is this the final result you gave me after all your painstaking investigation, Inspector Yakushiji?"

The white-haired senior police officer sitting below the main seat had a face so gloomy it could drip water, and his dissatisfaction and accusation were undisguised in his words.

"Yes, Director Ito."

Upon hearing Ryoko Yakushiji's bland response, Director Ito slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang, and shouted angrily, "How am I supposed to explain this utterly perfunctory reply to the cabinet members? How am I supposed to face the Prime Minister?"

"You want me to tell them that the enemy, despite being surrounded by a large number of police officers, successfully took my subordinate hostage and escaped unharmed?"

"You want me to tell them that the escaped criminal mysteriously disappeared on the highway, and we haven't found a single clue about him yet?"

"Huh? Tell me then, should I tell these things verbatim to the Cabinet, the Prime Minister, and the entire nation?"

Faced with Director Ito's almost roaring questioning, Ryoko Yakushiji's face turned ashen, and she said, word by word, "JACES will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, Director Ito."

As soon as she finished speaking, she bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and sincerely apologized, "Please give me a little more time."

Director Ito paused for a moment, then, as if he had never been angry at all, calmly leaned back in his chair and asked, "How much longer will it take you to get this done?"
