Chapter Sixty-Four: Infiltrating the Funeral Home

(Subtitle: You wicked Europeans! Take this!)

Yang Li, who considers herself Asian but whose face is actually as dark as an African's, has a deep disdain for Europeans, European emperors, and Martians. Her expression regained its composure, and she silently pointed to the last remaining treasure chest (Slaughter).

"Real name, choose the third activation method."

Zhenming picked up the treasure chest, cautiously glanced at Yang Li's 'unchanged' expression, and chose to open it using the third method. A crimson light burst forth the moment the treasure chest (Slaughter) was opened, illuminating the entire room.

Yang Li, who had never witnessed such a strange phenomenon, stared blankly at the radiant treasure chest (Slaughter), a peculiar feeling spreading through him. This feeling was a combination of joy and pain, a truly wondrous situation.

The joy stemmed from the fact that all the good things that appeared ultimately belonged to her, while the pain lay in the fact that these things were only possible because of Zhenming's terrifyingly high luck. In other words, the gap between the "lucky one" and an Asian (as Yang Li perceived it) was so vast, to a degree that was visible to the naked eye…

Take a deep breath, suppress all your emotions, and examine the nature of this skill scroll.

……

To be honest, even Yang Li, an "ordinary person" who had seen "big scenes," was astonished when he saw that the system could evade the monitoring of the "trial order."

The ultimate skill truly lives up to its name; it's already this powerful at only level one. Not to mention, like 'Vector Manipulation,' its upper limit is currently unknown! However, it requires five source crystals (small)...emmmm, that's a bit too much of a requirement, but it should still be worth it, right?

Unsure if it would be a loss, Yang Li carefully stored it in his 'savings backpack,' preparing to learn it and give it a try. After all, this skill was of blue quality from the start, it definitely wouldn't be weak! It was on par with 'Dream Transformation: Kaneki Ken'!

With that, all four treasure chests (Crimson) had been opened, and the Europeans' crushing of the Asians (as Yang Li perceived them) had temporarily come to an end. Having reaped a bountiful harvest, Yang Li walked to the side, pulled the Void Greatsword from the floor, and then let it disappear naturally.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Does what you promised still stand...?"

The real name's voice disappeared in mid-air. Yang Li forcibly threw it back into that special space. She had an extremely strong control over the card.

Although we won't actually shoot this European, considering something precious about her, we'll keep her locked up for a while...

------Dividing line------

The night was deep when a black figure darted out from mid-air and disappeared back into the darkness. Most people in the Roppongi area had turned off their lights and gone to sleep, so no one noticed the person darting around on the rooftops.

Yang Li recalled the place where she had last extracted Ayase Shinomiya's void and began searching for the Funeral Parlor's base. Although she had directly and forcibly invaded it last time, the Funeral Parlor might not be able to completely withdraw within two days; she was here to pick up any remaining enemies.

Jumping off a house, Yang Li rolled and scrambled into the bushes, looking towards what appeared to be the entrance to a basement. She was very close to where she had forcefully broken through the ground earlier, and there was a faint, lingering presence nearby.

There might be funeral home staff on guard nearby... Realizing this, Yang Li drew her long sword, Qiu Shui, from her waist, crouched down, and scanned the area in her field of vision with her beautiful eyes.

If I remember correctly, there's a plaza inside the funeral home; it should be nearby...

Calmly considering all the possibilities, Yang Li glanced at the wall behind her, her eyebrows slightly raised. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the wall was a bit too high, somewhat like the walls of a prison…

A crimson light suddenly shone, and four scaled kagune emerged from behind Yang Li, gently beginning to carve holes in the wall. After a while, the kagune retracted, and a dark figure leaped over it, vaulting to the other side of the wall.

After climbing up the wall, Yang Li only observed it briefly and didn't linger, since that location was indeed easy to spot.

She landed lightly and silently on the ground. Holding Qiu Shui upside down in her right hand, Yang Li's gaze fell on a figure not far away. The other person had clearly seen her too; their mouth was slightly agape, and they were relieving themselves…

A look of disgust flashed in Yang Li's eyes, and he rushed out instantly, clenching his left fist and slamming it out with force.

The man, struck in the side, slammed against a wall, and then a gleaming blade met his throat. With a slicing sound of flesh tearing and blood splattering, a head fell to the ground.

Piling the bodies in the shadows of a corner, Yang Li spotted a clearly important building and began heading towards it. After circling around extensively and taking down several groups of guards, she successfully approached the building.

The building was dark inside, with no lights on, while the other side of the square was brightly lit. Without hesitation, Yang Li climbed to the roof of the building and began spying on the square with binoculars.

There were quite a few people, including Gai Tsutsugami and Yoshihiro, and even Shu Ouma and Inori Yuzuriha, who should have lived next door. Gai Tsutsugami seemed to be saying something, but Yang Li was too far away to hear anything, and besides, she couldn't speak.

In my memory, this was a small plot development, but now the world of 'Guilty Crown' is too different from the original work, so it can't follow the original story at all.

After a moment's thought, Yang Li slipped into the building beneath him, intending to make preparations at some key locations. He planned to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

Thank you [Gerald Asa] for the monthly pass.

Thank you [繼] for the two monthly tickets.

Thank you for your support!

Section 67 Chapter Sixty-Five: Planting the Bomb

Chapter 65: Planting the Bomb

This was the third building. Yang Li gripped the wall with both hands and slowly slid down from the top of the building. Then, she suddenly used her fingers to stop herself in mid-air. She opened the half-closed window with her feet, and with a slight sway, jumped inside.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Yang Li immediately crouched down and began to survey his surroundings. It appeared to be a storage room, with some items resembling funeral parlor uniforms stored there, but nothing particularly eye-catching.

She didn't choose to change into the funeral parlor uniform because she would be easily recognized if she came face to face with the enemy; after all, there were very few female members in the funeral parlor! There were practically only a handful, unless she could transform into her true form now…

Yang Li listened for any possible sounds, but instead of getting up, she crouched down and moved forward. Leaning against the door, she quietly peered outside; there were no patrols on this floor.

Without the slightest hesitation, the skilled and daring Yang Li pushed open the storage room door and slowly peeked out. After finding nothing amiss, she darted into the stairwell with astonishing speed and without a sound.

Next, the entire building seemed deserted; Yang Li didn't find a single member of the funeral home from beginning to end. Growing increasingly wary, she went up to the first floor, but still, no one was there…

There was only one elevator that could go upwards, and Yang Li gently pressed the button.

A moment later, the elevator descended and the doors opened. Although there was no one inside, there was a surveillance camera that was working. Yang Li quickly slipped inside and hid in a blind spot of the elevator's surveillance camera.

This corner was normally no hiding place, but Yang Li deliberately curled up into a ball, squeezing himself into the corner. The absence of a down button on the floor plan indicated a problem; these buttons were likely faulty.

Perhaps at this moment, Tsugumi, the genius hacker girl from Funeral Parlor, is in the monitoring room, so Yang Li's situation is still somewhat dangerous. After a moment's thought, her kagune opened, forcefully ripping off the elevator panel beneath her feet.

Looking through the gap, Yang Li's lips curled into a smile. There was a hidden world below! Hanging upside down on the elevator with his kagune, he pieced the gap back together with both hands. Although it was easy to break, at least it looked fine. Then he suddenly lunged at the metal walls on all four sides of the elevator shaft.

The kagune pierced through him, and Yang Li slowly moved downwards until he slid to the bottom...

The elevator doors cannot be opened easily unless they are forcibly destroyed, but that would be too risky! Instead of attacking the elevator doors, Yang Li used his kagune to clear a path through one side of the doors, his movements surprisingly slow.

For almost an hour, the elevator came down once, perhaps indicating that someone had already entered the lowest level of the building. Undeterred, Yang Li successfully dug a hole in the wall, revealing a small storage room on the other side.

In fact, without her fairly good perception, Yang Li wouldn't have dared to do this; it was simply too dangerous. She only took the risk because she realized that clearing a path here wouldn't be detected.

Even if she were discovered, Yang Li would have a good chance of escaping given the ghouls' terrifying regenerative abilities and the Void Greatsword's attack power. Compared to her plan, it was insignificant.

After observing the storage room for a moment, Yang Li pushed open the door and walked out, heading towards the direction where she sensed the most people. She proceeded cautiously without encountering anyone; perhaps this wasn't her destination after all?

As she passed a door, Yang Li glanced inside instinctively, paused for a moment, then pushed the door open and went in. The reason she suddenly changed her target was that she had found her original destination.

This is the same place where the Funeral Parlor assembles before each mission in the original anime. If it's here, Yang Li's plan can be executed perfectly. Looking at this familiar scene, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Yang Li flipped down from the iron handrail on the second floor and walked into the spacious area, her gaze sweeping over various places. Standing in the very center of the front, her eyes flickered slightly, because if she remembered correctly, this was where important figures like Gai Tsutsugami always stood.

After circling around a few times, Yang Li used his kagune to chisel open the ground, then took out a small object and placed it inside. This thing was called a [Special High-Explosive Bomb], and Yang Li only had this one left—the last one! The other one was still inside Ouma Shu's stomach.

After clearing away all the soil, everything was restored to its original state. She then took out several other small items...

After arranging all the white-quality [Crimson Flame] items and setting all the controllers to one, Yang Li solemnly put the controller away.

In the surrounding darkness, Yang Li arranged many small items, which were related to her later plans. To ensure things went as planned, she needed to be fully prepared…

After ensuring that the entire room was covered, Yang Li left the room and prepared to return to the elevator lobby by the same route.

Suddenly, a figure stepped out of the elevator, causing Yang Li, whose expression changed slightly, to dart into the storage room of the tunnel he was excavating. However, the person didn't come in the direction Yang Li was looking, but instead headed in the other direction.

Yang Li crouched at the entrance of the storage room, observing quietly. Just as the man was about to enter a room, the man turned halfway around, and a black sickle pattern on the back of his left hand caught Yang Li's eye...

The other party was a contractor… Realizing this, Yang Li hesitated for a moment before decisively choosing to approach the room. Her crimson kagune eyes appeared, and four kagune were revealed; she had reached the room's doorway.

Just as Yang Li reached the door, he heard a somewhat familiar girl's voice. It was the girl named "Night Fragrance" who had asked for help when the teleportation to 'Abyss Paradise' was about to begin...

She was also one of the contractors who besieged Yang Li during the first direct conflict between GHQ and Roppongi, and she should be a healer.

'This guy is actually here. He survived even in Kaneki's half-Kakuja state. He's got some skills.'

At this moment, this person was added to Yang Li's list of dangerous targets, to be killed at the first opportunity! If Ye Laixiang knew that Yang Li had already set his sights on her, she would probably cry on the spot, right?

Having completely concealed her presence, Yang Li began eavesdropping on the sounds coming from inside the room. She sensed several people inside. If she wasn't mistaken, these should all be contractors from the Funeral Parlor!

Thinking about the treasure chest (slaughter) she opened today, Yang Li had the urge to fight her way in and grab it, but her rationality held her back. If she were completely surrounded by several contractors and members of the Funeral Parlor, she figured she'd be done for today…

Chapter 66, Section 68: Contractors of the Funeral Parlor

Chapter Sixty-Six: Contractors of the Funeral Parlor Faction

"Is everyone here? Let's talk about what to do next."

This is a very ordinary room, one of the gathering places for contractors from the Funeral Parlor faction, where they often discuss issues. It's described as one of the gathering places because the Funeral Parlor's contractors were initially divided into four factions, but two of them have now been eliminated.

The speaker was a man carrying a large sword, whose expression was inevitably somewhat melancholy, because in this 'dimensional world' confrontation mission, the Funeral Parlor's contractors suffered too many losses.

Originally there were 51 contractors, but now only about 20 remain, and Ye Laixiang's side only has 7 people...

"In the previous two conflicts, although GHQ also lost many contractors, at least 10 people are still left. These are mostly contractors of LV:5 and above... and that monster who is suspected to be the Judge! That guy's strength is a bit beyond the scope!"

Holding his large sword diagonally at his side, the contractor, known to others as Lao Luo, wore an expression of utter frustration. He was the team leader, but their opponents were simply too terrifying; a victory against them might come at the cost of near-total annihilation…

The premise is that the opposing team is determined to kill them all, instead of trying to run away at the first sign of trouble; otherwise, they have no chance of winning. The team with more than 10 members might win, but in Lao Luo's opinion, their leader is just an arrogant idiot.
