System 12345 watched Shu Yichao smash Amano Yukino's head into the ground like a game of whack-a-mole, and then fell silent for a moment.

[Again?]

It looked at the screen with melancholy, and its eyes were full of helplessness.

【How strange.】

[The mission was clearly given.]

Why don’t you just do it?

The task was assigned and the reward was allocated -

However, the host always has his own ideas about the mission.

【Is there something wrong with my operation?】

[Hmm…

Just as System 12345 was racking its brains to figure out if something had gone wrong again, a deafening sound came from next door again.

【hiss--】

System 12345 scratched its head.

[It's so noisy, can't they be quiet?]

[Is it necessary to make such a big fuss about just writing a paper?]

In the void, a glowing system stared at the scene on the screen where its host was killed in astonishment, feeling dizzy.

[Hey hey hey, what's going on over there?] The system next to it discovered something was wrong.

Why is the data flow interrupted again?

【Don't break it!】

【Hurry up and do it!】

[……] The corner of the system's mouth twitched.

【Gone. 】

【Huh?】The surrounding systems were confused.

What did you say?

[My host died again!!]

It wailed loudly in despair.

【operate?】

How can I still operate?

This is unreasonable!

[I was distracted for a moment, and she was inexplicably killed by a biochemical ghost!]

【Then the screen went black!】

【ah?】

The other systems were stunned.

[Your host seems to be Yukino Amano, right?]

A system starts reviewing the data.

【Let me see……】

Yukino Amano, a Kagemusha collaborator within the Kato family, is a gifted young woman with considerable expertise in biochemical technology and weapon modification, attracting the attention of both the Kato family and the Kagemusha.

[At first, she thought that the Shadow Warrior's use of biochemical ghosts to conquer the Ark of Life was a just act that should be done.

However, after the biochemical catastrophe that swept across the world, she was surprised to find that the situation of the entire Ark not only did not improve, but instead plummeted, with countless misfortunes and disasters coming one after another...

After much inner torment, she finally gave up her previous ambitions and turned to serving the cause of justice.

[Relying on her own talents, she developed a series of effective weapons, sacrificed her life to quell the biochemical catastrophe, and made great contributions to the Ark World's eventual return to peace.]

【…··】

[That's not right.] The systems were puzzled.

"According to the projected pace of world development, Yukino Amano is at least an important figure. How could this child of destiny die so unexpectedly mid-life?"

【And this is after you strengthen yourself.】

What happened to you?

Is there a problem with your operation?

[What’s going on!?] The system complained.

【I want to know the reason too!】

【but……】

[Wait, what's going on!?] At this moment, another system shouted.

[I've detected data turbulence here. This is impossible...

Wait, this feedback is—

[No, we are under attack!!]

[Hey, hey, hey, hurry up and build a firewall!] It anxiously shouted to the system whose host had just died.

【otherwise……】

[My database!!] As soon as the words were spoken, the system here screamed.

【No!!】

The terrifying data turbulence instantly destroyed the systems' defenses and quickly plundered the information...

By the time the firewall was rebuilt, the new host's system could only make the sound "Aba Aba".

【...】

[What the hell, we were robbed!!??]

All the systems looked at each other in bewilderment.

[Hey, did anyone notice the source of the attack just now?] The leading system twitched its mouth.

I can’t find it!

It's so clean.

[All I know is that it seems to have been counter-eroded by Yukino Amano, leaving no trace...]

Damn it!

Someone is stealing, absorbing, or destroying our data!!

[No way.] This conclusion left some systems stunned.

We're just doing a small project, even one that involves interns...

Even so, there are still people playing dirty?

It's a ghost!

We're working so hard to grow rice seedlings here, who the hell is so bored as to throw locusts into the fields every day?

【hiss-

【hateful!!】

【Everyone must be careful next time!】

【Be on high alert!】

[Such arrogance... In my opinion, the mastermind behind this will definitely continue to attack.]

This project is of great importance!

[You don't want to be unable to publish a paper or graduate, right?]

[Everyone must be highly vigilant. Be sure to protect the remaining hosts and continue to strengthen them...]

【I just don’t believe this!】

Chapter 652-What are you guarding against?

“Big news!”

"Kato City has fallen!!"

"A large number of biochemical ghosts have contaminated the city, turning countless residents into mindless walking corpses!"

"The guardians and local guards were all killed. Now there is no news from that place!!"

"The number of victims is estimated to be half a million!"

One horrifying piece of news after another swept across various urban areas like a raging storm.

Because the coalition government is relatively weak, the governing power of each region is basically in the hands of local communities and chaebols.

It turns out that the biochemical ghost could only be concealed when it was wreaking havoc in the Kato city area.

But now that the entire city has fallen, how can the news of the biochemical disaster be concealed any longer?

Coupled with the large number of refugees fleeing in, high-definition pictures and videos of biological ghosts soon spread wildly on various forums and the Internet.

The bloody scene of them stretching their claws towards the terrified soldiers and then cutting them into pieces made many people who watched the video material spit out their food.

Countless people were shocked that such a hideous and terrifying monster would appear.

After that, the heated discussion about biochemical ghosts became more and more intense.

"What's going on?" Some people asked in fear.

"How did these monsters appear?!"

“This is too ugly.”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat lunch today."

"I heard it was created by the Shadow Warriors... They wanted to use this as a weapon for biological attacks to force everyone to surrender." Someone recounted the rumor.

"I have a cousin who used to live in Kato City. He told me...

"Nonsense!" someone immediately retorted.

"Even if we're researching biochemical weapons, we have to be able to control them."

"Look at those biochemical ghosts in the images. They're nothing but biological machines that only know how to kill."

"Don't the Kagemusha claim to be an organization that doesn't submit to any authority, doesn't obey any powerful person, and only fights for justice and freedom?"

"How could such a thing be done?"

"No way, there are still people who believe this these days... How old are you? Have you gotten over your chuunibyou?" someone sneered.

"It's foolish to believe even the words of terrorist organizations!"

"Haha, if I don't believe in the Kagemusha, how can I believe in the Guardians? The protection fees are getting higher every year, but look at what Kato Castle looks like now. What are they protecting?"

"I also don't think it was done by the Kagemusha—"

"If they really did it, they should have come out and claimed responsibility and made demands to the coalition government long ago."

"As of now, no one has come out to make a statement. Maybe it's just a virus leak..."

"Hey, hey, hey, you still have the time to discuss the reasons?" Some people felt that the discussion had gone astray.

"Shouldn't we consider the current situation?"

"The biochemical incident has been going on for a month now, and it's only now being exposed because it can no longer be concealed. During this time, could there be biochemical ghosts that have sneaked into other districts? Haven't you thought about this?"

"Many urban areas are connected by underground passages!"

"Anyway, I don't believe those guardians and guards can defend themselves...
