Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

But after several seconds, the fox's two short legs had not yet reached the ground.

It was because Yukiho Amemiya stretched out her hand with a smile and caught him in mid-air.

Hoshino Hideyuki:?

"That's it~"

Yukiho Amamiya smiled and said, "I thought about it. Since Hideyuki-kun intends to conserve his energy, then based on our experience some time ago, it seems that the effect will be better if two people come together~"

"...Wait a minute." After realizing what the young lady wanted to do, Ichichi Kikuri could no longer sit still. She stood up, hugged the fox's waist with both hands and said, "Don't decide on such things on your own!"

"Uh-huh, do you want to join, Giuri-san?"

"I……"

Ijichi Kikuri wanted to say that I didn't mean that, but she stuttered for two or three seconds and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

Behind her, Chizuru Haibara's breathing became heavier and heavier.

Although she still maintained the dignified demeanor of an intellectual beauty on the surface, her trembling body proved that the obscene thoughts in her heart were growing wildly and would soon overflow.

In the corner, Tiantong Xixia blinked.

What are they doing? The atmosphere in the basement suddenly became hot.

Is this Mr. Smiley Fox's daily life? As a fan, I must record this scene... Hey? Hey hey hey!

Before Tendou Xixia could take out her notebook, Tendou Asuka came over, grabbed the girl by the collar, and used her extraordinary strength to lift her towards the stairs.

"Um, team leader, Sister Asuka, Aunt Asuka?"

"Give up. It's useless to change your name."

"No, I still want to record the unknown details of Mr. Smiley Fox's life!"

"It doesn't matter if I don't record the details of your life. Anyway, in order for you to successfully complete your mission tomorrow, I order you to return to the family as soon as possible and ask Sister Miyue for special training. It's the kind that makes you sweat all over and fall asleep immediately!"

boom!

After finally sending her troublesome niece away, Asuka Tendo clapped her hands and turned to look at the pink-haired fox surrounded by three women.

What a sinful fox...

She thought so, then took a deep breath and joined the battle without hesitation!

Don't run away, thief! Fox is a genius!

that's it……

Hoshino Hideyuki spent a wonderful night of happiness and pain that is difficult to describe in words.

But it must be said that Miss Amemiya did not lie. After a night of... no, a night of tossing and turning, although Hoshino Hideyuki did not feel much sleep, the demonic power in her body became very full.

Regarding this phenomenon, Hideyuki Hoshino commented:

"This absolutely violates the law of conservation of energy!"

Well, it really shows respect for science. Let's applaud the fox for his wonderful speech~

cough cough.

In short, at 8:30 in the morning, the energetic Hoshino Hideyuki and Tendo Yuka came to the basement together.

"I wish you all the best~"

"As I said, it's better to be cautious. If there is something wrong, withdraw immediately."

"These are the in-game pseudonyms of the other five infiltrators sent by the Countermeasures Office. Remember them and contact them if you need anything."

With the advice and blessings from the people around them, the two took out their mobile phones and logged into the game.

When I opened my eyes again, Hoshino Hideyuki had arrived at the small square.

Fortunately, this time Tendo Yuxia was also teleported to the same square, so Hoshino Hideyuki only looked around for a few minutes before he found the girl and successfully joined forces with her.

He said, "It's almost nine o'clock, let's wait a moment."

"Okay Mr. Smiley Fox!"

In the next few minutes, more and more people gathered in the square, eventually exceeding two hundred.

Hoshino Hideyuki thought: If there are so many people in the four squares, then the total number of players now is close to one thousand?

Tsk, that's enough to cause quite a commotion.

At this moment, nine o'clock had arrived and the bell rang. Everyone in the square looked up together, only to see a burst of snowflakes flash across the bulletin screen, and then the bust of Mr. Duomu in a suit was displayed again.

"Good morning, everyone. It seems that everyone is looking forward to this update."

Mr. Duomu smiled and said:

"But the update will take time, so please be patient. Before that, let me announce the promotion tasks."

"The mission is called 'Punish the Evil'. As the name suggests, it requires you to eliminate the evil. The evil here are not monsters in the game space, but real people in the real world. The following is their name list..."

Then, a series of names, photos, personal profiles, home addresses, frequently appearing locations, and points that can be obtained by killing them began to flash on the screen.

"…This mission is based on a points system. The more valuable villains you kill, the higher the points you get. The mission time limit is 12 hours. After the mission, players with more than 100 points will be guaranteed to receive 3 bottles of strengthening potions and a random reward."

"The top 20 players in terms of points will be eligible to enter the second floor of the Ascension Tower."

"How about it, everyone? Are you getting excited already?"

However, the facts are completely contrary to what Mr. Duomu said.

After he announced the mission, the square fell silent.

After all, even the dumbest person could tell at this moment that this promotion mission was different from all the previous missions. It did not require them to fight against each other or kill monsters, but instead asked them to kill people in the real world!

"Hey, hey, hey, this is serious."

Here, Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the people on the bulletin board, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

Ichiro Uchida, owner of Uchida fishery shop in Saitama Prefecture...

Fukuzawa Takayoshi, President of the Hokkaido Branch of Tokyo Daisan Bank...

Yatsu Kenta, a little-known baseball player...

At first glance, there are more than a thousand people on the list. Does that mean that the game Tokyo Fever is now planning to let its players kill a thousand people in the real world?

"What a joke!"

In the square, a female player with short hair covered her head and broke the silence first: "I don't want to be a murderer!"

After she started talking, more players began to whisper.

"Yes, this is murder..."

"There's a person on the list who is my neighbor. He's a very nice uncle! He even gave me a souvenir last year!"

"I play games to gain super powers, not to be chased by the police..."

Boom!dong dong!

The sudden ringing of a bell suppressed the voices of opposition from many players. Then, Mr. Duomu on the screen spoke again:

"I understand your surprise and resistance."

"But please be patient and listen to me talk about this task again."

"First, the people on the list are undoubtedly evil people, they just hide better."

"For example, this Fukuzawa Takayoshi, when he was the head of a bank branch, he colluded with unscrupulous companies and used loan fraud to profit for himself, causing good companies that were in urgent need of funds to go bankrupt without help. When things went wrong, he blamed his subordinates, forcing them to hang themselves."

"For example, this Yazu Kenta is quite famous. If you often watch baseball, you should remember that he beat up his teammates last year, right? In fact, this person often relies on his senior status to bully his own teammates..."

"In short, all the people on the list are people who deserve to die. Killing them is not creating unwarranted murder, but eradicating evil! It is using your superpowers to uphold justice!"

"Second, some players seem to be worried about being hunted by the police? However, you may not know that the moment you join this game, you have become a thorn in the eyes of the relevant agencies!"

"The abilities you have acquired are beyond the limits of social tolerance."

"The fact that you appear in large numbers itself means a disruption of order."

"Do you think the original superpower organizations will like you? Dear players, please don't be naive!"

"Continue to complete the tasks of this game and become a truly strong person. This is your way out!"

"If someone doesn't dare to move forward just because he's afraid of being caught by the police, then unfortunately, I think he may not be suitable for this game. The best thing he should do is to cancel his account, give up his superpowers, and return to reality to be an ordinary person."

"If a player wants to make this choice, the game officials will not stop him. It is his freedom."

"third……"

When it came to the third point, Duomu paused, and then a dozen administrators came out from behind the screen and used spells like mind control to place hundreds of bags in front of the square.

"...I understand that the main reason why many players, especially new players, are afraid to do missions is actually because they are worried that they are not capable enough and will not be able to escape safely after completing the mission."

"It doesn't matter. To address this issue, this game will offer special benefits during the mission!"

"Any player who participates in the mission can receive a miniature crossbow with an effective range of 50 meters and an invisible windbreaker with an effective time of three hours for free!"

"I think this should be enough to help you complete your mission..."

now.

In the crowd, Hoshino Hideyuki narrowed his eyes.

What an inflammatory speech! I felt like I was in a Munich beer hall after listening to it...

First, label all the targets as villains to reduce the moral sensitivity of the players, then analyze the current situation to cut off the players' escape routes, and finally provide the tools to commit the crime to reduce the players' fear of action...

Tsk tsk.

However, in the opinion of Hideyuki Hoshino, there are too many loopholes in this speech.

The first is the so-called elimination of evildoers...

Apart from anything else, Kitsune Kenta was a person that Fox and Inuyama Tetsu had investigated because he had the potential to be defrauded.

But the investigation results showed that he had never bullied anyone, and he beat his teammates because his teammates started it first. The reason why everyone thought he was a bad guy was only because the gossip media only released half of the news.

As for the other people on the list, Hoshino Hideyuki didn't dare to say that he fully understood them, but a glimpse of the whole picture showed that, judging from the example of Yazu, most of them were not really bad people.

Anyway, Fox doesn't believe that the ghosts and monsters behind the game would spend as much effort to investigate as Inuyama Tetsu did.

And to be honest, if you really want to eradicate all evil, you should target the hereditary masters in parliament.

They are the ones who take the black money and support the cult. If they are all shot, there may be some innocent people who are wrongly accused. If every other person is shot, there will definitely be some who slip through the net.

Secondly, there is the argument that the players have exceeded the limits of social tolerance and have no way out. This is interesting, but not very comprehensive.

To put it in a broader sense, after the revival of spiritual energy, there are more and more beings with extraordinary powers, and society has to tolerate them even if it is intolerant.

To put it simply, at least for now, Hoshino Hideyuki has not heard that the Countermeasures Office is planning to kill all the players - there are too many people involved, and they cannot make such a decision.

however.

Although Hoshino Hideyuki could see it clearly, the other players in the square did not have this ability.

Especially... when someone secretly releases an illusion.

In Hideyuki Hoshino's vision, accompanied by the fluctuations of illusion energy, the players' emotions became more and more agitated, and finally, a hedgehog-headed man strode out.

It was the Flying Crocodile who had wanted to recruit Fox into the guild before.

He shouted to the crowd:

"Isn't it very simple? What are you idiots struggling with?"

"We are the superior humans of the new era. Once we embark on this path, there is no turning back!"

"As superior people, isn't it only natural for us to set new rules for the world and eliminate those who don't follow the rules? This is absolutely just!"

"Besides, this game is called Tokyo Fever. If we can't get excited, wouldn't it be a joke?"

"I will definitely do this mission, sir!"

"If you want to become stronger with me, come quickly!"

After saying that, the man took out his mobile phone, clicked on the task, and then took away a crossbow and an invisible windbreaker.

Inspired by him, more and more people came out. Eventually, most players accepted the mission, logged out of the game with their mobile phones, and went to hunt for their respective targets in the real world.

"Mr. Smiley Fox!"

At this time, Tian Tong Xi Xia anxiously grabbed Xing Ye Xiu Xing's sleeve and said: "We have to stop them!"
