The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"I see!"

Sima Nicole grabbed the driver and the crystal card and began to examine them. Miku, seeing this, revealed a hint of smugness in his eyes.

Don't worry about whether you fall for it; once you use the driver, you've essentially signed a contract to sell yourself into servitude!

Chapter 43: The abrupt end of the game, an orange stone! (Revised)

Watching Shimanico play with the driver and the crystal card, Miku withdrew his mind projection with satisfaction.

With this guinea pig, the data collection process will be much easier.

Moreover, although this little girl looks gentle and weak, she becomes particularly persistent and stubborn when it comes to winning or losing a game.

Especially this guy's record: over 16,000 ranked matches, more than 9,000 of which he lost, yet he still relentlessly challenges higher-ranked players.

The cheerful, silly child hadn't noticed that Miku's mental projection had left and was still playing with the driver and player crystal card.

Miku, who was on the roof, glanced at Simani and then turned and jumped off the roof, disappearing into the air.

The gaming industry.

Inside an abandoned factory.

"Hahahaha..."

"Useless, completely useless!"

The shrimp dumpling laughed wildly, its toes touching the ground. The man leaned back, his body crackling with electricity, showing no sign of pain, but rather extreme pleasure.

"Your attacks are so weak, so weak that I don't feel any pain at all!"

Swaying as it straightened its body, the shrimp dumpling, its hands drooping from its bent back, raised its head and chuckled, "Hehehe..."

"That bastard!"

Frustrated, Cheche threw one of his double scythes to the ground. "Is this guy a masochist?"

"So many attacks have no effect on him at all?"

The rather frantic Cheche was furious. Jing Feicai's hand holding the sword was trembling. Before, when the two attacked Xiajiao, Xiajiao did not fight back at all, but even so, they did not cause him any real damage.

The Dangerous Zombie cartridges currently used by Shrimp Dumplings are completely incomparable to the original storyline.

It's important to know that the data collection for the Dangerous Zombie cartridge he's currently using was completely disrupted by Miku, and the final data collection was achieved at the cost of Shrimp Dumpling dying thirty-six times.

In the original storyline, Shrimp Dumpling was already incredibly powerful after collecting death data just once. If it weren't for the protagonist's halo and his own self-destructive behavior, he probably wouldn't have suffered such a huge setback.

At this moment, the Dangerous Zombie cartridge, although LV.10 (X), actually has a combat power of LV.30 or higher.

"Come on, attack me!"

With an extremely arrogant attitude, Xiajiao's movements were quite flamboyant. He waved at the two people in the car mirror and said in an extremely arrogant tone: "Come on, I'll stand still and let you hit me!"

"asshole!"

Grabbing the double sickles he had previously abandoned, Cheche ran towards Xiajiao with a self-destructive air, while Jing Feicai stared at Cheche's retreating figure with a flickering gaze.

His finger quietly pressed the button on the left side of his body.

"Kimewaza!"

DoReMiFa Critical Finish! "

The sudden singing made Xiajiao look over. Cheche's double sickles struck Xiajiao's neck with such force that it seemed as if they were about to separate his body from his head.

As the attack landed, Cheche quickly released his weapon and rolled to the side to dodge.

The eyes beneath the mirror-like lenses, which were wrapped with sonic energy, shimmered with multicolored light.

Holding his sword with both hands, he gathered his strength and, in the instant the car dodged, forcefully slashed out with his holy sword.

"Shh!"

The blade, formed from sonic energy and imbued with iridescent light, instantly bridged the distance between him and the shrimp dumpling.

In the blink of an eye, the powerful holy sword struck Shrimp Dumpling's chest. Sonic energy, accompanying the contact between the blade and Shrimp Dumpling's breastplate, seeped into it like a gentle spring rain, accumulating and then bursting forth in a burst after reaching a certain point.

The double sickles that Cheche had been hanging around Xiajiao's neck fell off. Cheche crouched down and quickly picked up the sickles.

"Crack!"

The two sickles merged into a sparrow-shaped bow, and Cheche quickly pulled out the sword-fighting belt from his waist and inserted it into the sparrow-shaped bow.

"Kimewaza!"

Giri Giri Critical Finish! "

Amidst the flickering yellow and pink light, Cheche suddenly fired the Sparrow-shaped Bow. As he leaped backward, the bow unleashed countless yellow and pink energy arrows.

A yellow energy arrow shot out and quickly spread out, followed closely by several pink arrows, which in turn pulled the yellow arrow towards the shrimp dumpling.

"what!"

As soon as the arrow approached, Jing Feicai swiftly dodged past Xiajiao.

The massive explosion generated by the energy arrow also unleashed the previous sonic slash.

"Rumble..."

A mushroom cloud rose out of nowhere, and the shrimp dumplings were instantly engulfed by the violent flames.

"what!!!"

A piercing scream emanated from the mushroom cloud of flames, and upon seeing this, a smug look appeared on the face beneath the vehicle's mask.

"Now let's see if you don't die!"

His and Jing Feicai's long-planned combined attack, though seemingly lengthy, actually happened in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, no!!"

The howls grew increasingly shrill and mournful, and Jing Feicai couldn't help but touch her nose. This was the first time they had driven their enemy to this point.

But something unexpected happened: a shrimp dumpling wrapped in flames walked out of the flames, cupping its hands in front of its mouth to form a trumpet shape.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Upon seeing Xiajiao's behavior, Cheche and Jingfeicai couldn't help but change color.

"This guy was faking it!?"

"idiot!"

Shrimp Dumpling shook his arms, and a flash of purplish-black energy extinguished the flames on his body.

"I am immortal!"

"Your attacks are useless against me!" The shrimp dumpling pointed at the car and spun around in place, then pointed at Jing Feicai.

"Damn it, how dare you play us!"

Jing Feicai cursed angrily. Xia Jiao stood there awkwardly, her shoulders slumped.

"cheat?"

You're wrong!

Raising her index finger, she pointed at Jing Feicai and the swaying shrimp dumpling and said, "This is how you please me!"

"Now I have obtained the power I have longed for most: an immortal body!" Touching the damaged Knight's Gauge on his chest, Shrimp Dumpling said again, "Great power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiajiao stepped on the ground, and two balls of purplish-black energy quickly separated from the shadow beneath his feet, swimming along the ground like sharks emerging from the water's surface towards Jing Feicai and the other two.

From the purplish-black energy emerged energy arms that resembled the arms of a demon, constantly clawing at the air as if the demon wanted to drag people into hell.

In the blink of an eye, the energy ball stuck Jing Feicai and the other person to it, its arms gripping their thighs tightly, and more and more arms were climbing upwards, determined to drag them into the purplish-black energy ball.

Jing Feicai and the other two, whose bodies were crackling with purple-black lightning, were not only unable to move, but their bodies were also paralyzed. They could only watch helplessly as they were dragged into the purple-black energy ball.

Their arms had already submerged their legs and reached their waists.

"See? This is my ability!"

Shrimp Dumpling slowly raised her right arm, extended two fingers, and flicked them upwards, pulling out the cassette tapes of Car Car and Mirror Flying Color and throwing them at Shrimp Dumpling.

"And now, you will die a miserable death, until all your life force is exhausted!"

With her arms outstretched, Xiajiao pointed at Jing Feicai and Cheche.

His attitude and words were extremely arrogant and presumptuous.

But just then, a "sizzle" sound rang out.

Everything around me began to blur, and the static patterns that appear on a television screen when the signal is unstable began to appear.

"This is..."

Shrimp Dumpling was stunned for a moment, then slowly returned to its normal standing posture. The next second, the space collapsed, three vortexes opened, sucked them in, and quickly threw them out of the game world.

Meanwhile, the little angel who had just finished playing Mighty Action X stared blankly at an orange gem floating in front of her.

What is this?

At his feet was an empty medicine bottle, with a few drops of liquid remaining at the mouth.

During the time that Cheche and Jingfeicai were entangled, the little angel relied on her own strength to complete the game and successfully obtained the antidote.

This also confirms his conjecture that there is not only one way to save patients in this game, but also a second way.

That means the patient can achieve self-redemption by completing the entire game.

The collapse of the game space quickly spread here. Without thinking, the little angel grabbed the orange gem and jumped into the spatial vortex, leaving the game realm.

CatsDog, Inc.

Top floor office.

The cat, who had just returned and had barely settled onto the cushion, suddenly sprang into action and vanished in the blink of an eye.

They arrived in another dimension.

"Master, your drive is going berserk!" Eve's originally rounded appearance has now become wrinkled and almost rectangular.
