Crossover Anime: Infinite God Creation, Yukinoka's Familia

"This is Chizuka Nishiki," Kaori Tachibana introduced. "She's the ace of SDS, and her marksmanship is the best in the entire department."

"To be precise, it's number one in all of Japan." Chizuka smiled and extended her hand. "Hello, new colleague."

Luo Tian shook hands with her; her hand was soft, but her grip was surprisingly strong.

"Let's pick a gun." Chizuka pulled Luo Tian to the pistol area. "Have you ever used a gun before?"

Never.

"Then let's start with the basics." Chizuka picked up a black pistol from the shelf. "SIG P226, 9mm caliber, 15-round magazine, high accuracy, and moderate recoil, especially suitable for beginners."

Luo Tian took the pistol; it felt heavy in his hand.

"Let's go to the shooting range and get a feel for it." Chizuka patted him on the shoulder.

The shooting range is located at the innermost part of the basement, with five shooting positions, the furthest target being 100 meters away.

Chizuka patiently taught him the techniques of loading, chambering, aiming, and pulling the trigger.

"Let's try firing one shot first."

Luo Tian raised his gun, aimed at the target ten meters away, and gently pulled the trigger.

With a "bang," the bullet hit the bullseye precisely.

Chizuka raised an eyebrow: "Is this just good luck?"

Luo Tian fired four more shots in succession, each hitting the bullseye.

Chizuki's expression changed from relaxed to serious. She moved the target to fifty meters away, and Luo Tian hit the target five times in a row again. She moved it to one hundred meters, and still hit the target every time.

"You're not a newbie at all, are you?" Chizuka stared at him.

"This is truly my first time using a gun," Luo Tian said, putting down the weapon. "But I have intuitive abilities."

What level is your intuition?

"Excellent level".

Chizuka was silent for a few seconds, then laughed: "Then wouldn't you be able to take my place?"

"No, that won't happen." Tachibana Misaki walked over. "You're still our ace. Luo Tian is an unofficial member, mainly responsible for intelligence and support work."

Chizuka shrugged indifferently: "Fine, but you still have to attend shooting class. Intuition isn't everything."

"Okay," Luo Tian nodded in agreement.

Luo Tian ultimately chose the SIG P226 as his sidearm, and also took two spare magazines and a holster.

"And this too." Tachibana Kiri took out a black suit from the cabinet. "This is specially made; it can be bulletproof and also withstand some low-level superpower attacks."

Luo Tian took the suit. It felt no different from an ordinary suit, but it was noticeably heavier.

"I wear it all the time," Kaori Tachibana said. "You're part of SDS now, and unexpected situations can arise at any time."

"I see."

"Also—" Tachibana paused, "Chitsuka and Takina will be transferring to Toyonosaki Academy next week."

"Transfer schools?" Luo Tian was somewhat surprised.

"That's right," Tachibana Kirika explained. "Neither of them has ever had a proper schooling. Chitsuka and Takina both came back from the Abyss, and Mika wanted them to experience the life of ordinary students."

"The life of an ordinary student?" Luo Tian glanced at Chishu, who was humming a song and picking out bullets in front of the weapons rack, and felt a little doubtful.

"At least it's close to a normal life." Kijiri Kaori sighed softly. "They need to integrate into society; they can't stay in SDS forever."

"Where do they live?"

"Mika is helping them find a place to live; for now, they'll be staying upstairs at the coffee shop."

Luo Tian nodded, then asked, "Will Chizuka and Takina also join the Starry Sky Club?"

"It depends on their own thoughts." Tachibana Kirika looked at him. "But if you want them to join, just tell them directly. Chizuka is easy to communicate with, but Takina might require a little more time."

"I see."

Luo Tian folded the suit jacket and put it in the bag, then glanced at the guns on the weapons rack and asked, "Where do the SDS members come from?"

"Most of them come from the Abyss, and a few are natural-born ability users like you," Tachibana Kirika replied.

"And what about you?"

"Me?" Kirigiri Kaori smiled. "I'm just an ordinary person. After graduating from university, I joined the Metropolitan Police Department and was assigned to the SDS, where I've been for ten years."

"How do ordinary people deal with danger in this department?"

"We'll rely on our brains," Kaori Tachibana tapped her temple, "and on you guys, our partners."

When Luo Tian left LycoReco, it was already completely dark.

He carried the bag containing his suit and pistol as he walked down the empty street, his mind processing all the information he'd heard that day: SDS, the Abyss, Golden Dawn, Truth Astronomy, Demon Heart, Nangong Nayue—the sheer volume of information was overwhelming.

"System, how many points do I have left?" Luo Tian asked in his mind.

"Current remaining points: 17983 points, fixed monthly income: 2300 points."

"How come your monthly income has increased to 2300? It used to be only a little over 1000."

"New sources of income: Joining SDS increases income by 600 points, obtaining the Abyss item Demon Heart increases income by 500 points, and obtaining the Abyss item Lucky Wallet increases income by 800 points."

"Wait—when did I get the Demon Heart and the Lucky Wallet?"

"The revenue has not yet been actually received, but the system has already included it in advance based on future possibilities."

Luo Tian was speechless. This system was sometimes reliable, and sometimes it seemed like a joke.

He walked down to the apartment building and was about to enter when a loud crash came from upstairs, as if a heavy object had slammed onto the floor.

Luo Tian frowned and quickly walked upstairs.

As she reached her own room, she saw the door next door ajar. A young woman peeked out, her face pale, her eyes red-rimmed, and her voice trembling: "Y-hello, could you please help me? Someone has been following me."

At this moment, the system popped up a prompt: "Protagonist-level reaction detected. Name: Tsubakihara Mira. Rank: Elite. Qualification: Extremely high."

Luo Tian took a deep breath; he had encountered another key figure.

---

Luo Tian brought Tsubakihara Mira into his room. She was in very poor condition; her lips were pale and her fingers were trembling incessantly.

Luo Tian poured her a glass of water, and after she drank a couple of sips, her emotions calmed down a little.

"Thank you." Mira put down her water glass. "My name is Tsubakihara Mira. I live next door to you and I just moved here not long ago."

"My name is Luo Tian, ​​and I am a student at Toyonosaki Academy."

"A student?" Mira looked him up and down. "You don't look like a student."

"I am an international student."

Mira nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Tell me the specifics. Who's following you?" Luo Tian sat down opposite her.

"I don't know who it is either." Mira bit her lower lip. "Starting three days ago, I always felt like someone was following me when I came home from get off work. Today it was even worse. That person came right upstairs and stood at my door for a long time."

"Did you get a good look at his face?"

"No," Mira shook her head, "but I heard him talking to himself outside the door, saying things like he found it or that the thing was in her hands."

Luo Tian frowned and asked, "Have you received any strange objects recently?"

Mira's expression changed instantly. She hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly raised her right hand. On her ring finger was a dark red ring with a black gemstone set in the face.

Luo Tian recognized it at a glance; it was indeed the Heart of the Demon.

"It's this ring," Mira whispered. "Three days ago, someone mailed it to my jewelry store. There was no sender information, just this ring."

Why didn't you call the police?

"I called the police," Mira said with a wry smile. "After the police came and looked at it, they said it was just an ordinary ring and then left."

Luo Tian was silent for a few seconds, then said to her, "You stay here and wait, whatever you do, don't go out."

He stood up, walked to the door, took out a holster from the bag and fastened it to his waist, then put on the specially made suit jacket.

"What are you going to do?" Mira asked nervously.

"Go check if the people following you are still nearby."

Luo Tian opened the door. The corridor was empty, but footsteps came from the direction of the stairs, indicating that someone was coming upstairs.
