After Iwanaga Kotoko reluctantly agreed, she looked at Yuuki Asuna and warned her seriously.

"Don't you dare touch him in the dark in the corridor?"

"Do you think I'm you?"

Asuna Yuuki replied unhappily, then walked behind Asagiri, put the light armor on her body and the rapier in her hand back into the inventory, changed into the sportswear she wore when she first entered the dungeon, then put her arms around Asagiri's shoulders, and Asagiri put her hands under her knees, and without much effort, she carried the tall Asuna Yuuki on her back.

But before he took two steps, Asagiri changed his posture and moved his hands, which were originally placed under the bend of Yuuki Asuna's legs, to her round...

"What are you doing..."

Listening to Yuuki Asuna's shy whisper in her ear, Asagiri smiled and whispered back.

"This is the most efficient and correct way to carry someone. Isn't it good?"

"But...well..."

Yuuki Asuna was speaking halfway when she felt Asagiri gently pinching a certain part of her body, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

Kato Megumi and Iwanaga Kotoko, who were walking in front, didn't know what was happening behind them, but they could probably guess what was happening just by listening to the sound.

"Ugh..."

Kato Megumi sighed slightly, and an idea suddenly emerged in her mind.

Could it be that I am part of some kind of play played by these three people, a prop used to add to the fun, just like the purple mood of Mita the hat?

After this thought emerged in her mind, Kato Megumi suddenly realized something.

How could I have such abstract ideas?

Could it be that I was infected by Asagiri and Iwanaga Kotoko?

Is this... the terrifying infectiousness of the abstract Eucharist?

...............

Half an hour later, in a locker room full of cabinets.

"It looks safe here. Let's adjust our condition here first."

Asagiri was leaning against the wall, noticing that Iwanaga Kotoko looked thoughtful, and spoke with a smile.

"Still thinking about Sakuragawa Rikka?"

"Um..."

Iwanaga Kotoko nodded and sighed slightly.

"Since I became the God of Wisdom, this is the first time I've encountered someone like this. Although there are many legends in ancient times about humans who transformed into half-demons through some means, I've never seen one in modern society. Her existence breaks the boundary between the monster and human worlds..."

Kato Megumi tucked her long hair, sat on the wooden bench in the locker room, and spoke softly.

"According to Miss Sakuragawa, she was also a victim of an experiment, right?"

"That's why I feel it's dangerous."

Iwanaga Kotoko said softly with a serious expression.

"Letting hundreds of children devour the flesh and blood of mermaids and magpies is no simple task. I've never seen either of these monsters myself. They're endangered and exist only in legends. Yet, the mastermind behind that experiment not only found these two monsters but also successfully captured them. And until I met Sakuragawa Rikka, I'd never heard of any further news about this incident. It seems the real world we live in isn't so stable after all."

"Are you going to kill Sakuragawa Rikka?"

Just as Iwanaga Kotoko finished speaking, Asagiri said in a smiling tone.

"Although we may not encounter her true form, even if it's just a clone, as long as I use the Supreme Magic Bullet, I can automatically track her real body's location and completely sever her immortality. We can wait for her at the escape point of the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital and then... give her a happy send-off."

"Happy to send you off..."

In response to Asagiri's question, Iwanaga Kotoko thought carefully and did not answer for a while, but Yuuki Asuna next to her spoke at this time.

"I always feel...that Miss Sakuragawa doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us. Rather, she seems to be quite friendly towards us."

Iwanaga Kotoko asked curiously after hearing this.

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

Yuuki Asuna tidied her flaxen hair and began to explain.

"Think about it, what we encountered before were just her clones. She didn't know at the time that Leader possessed the ability of the Supreme Magic Bullet. Although the destruction of the clone would make it more difficult for her to clear this dungeon, it's only a clone after all. Compared to the secret that she ate the flesh of two monsters, mermaids and mermen, and possessed special abilities, the destruction of the clone is nothing, right? But she still took the initiative to tell us those things. I feel like... she might be using this as a way to remind us to be careful in the real world."

"Hearing Violet say that, it seems to be true."

Kato Megumi recalled the scene when the four members of the team met Sakuragawa Rikka. Because she used her unique talent at that time, she was not noticed at first, and she did not need to speak to communicate with Sakuragawa Rikka, so all her attention was focused on observing Sakuragawa Rikka.

"Ms. Sakuragawa doesn't give the impression that she'd be so impulsive as to expose the identity of one of us just because the Leader called out her real name. She's using this as a way of telling us that someone knows Necro's true identity in the real world, and among those people is our enemy."

Iwanaga Kotoko frowned when she heard this. On the one hand, she felt that Kato Megumi and Yuuki Asuna's inference made sense, but on the other hand, she was somewhat skeptical.

"But why? I am the God of Wisdom who protects order, and Sakuragawa Rikka is the one who breaks this order. In a sense, she and I are natural enemies, so why did she specifically remind me? And after completing the transaction, she clearly planned to leave, because..."

Having said that, Iwanaga Kotoko, Yuuki Asuna, and Kato Megumi all turned their eyes to Asagiri who was sitting against the wall.

"Could it be that it's because of the influence of your succubus physique?"

"What do you mean by succubus? Don't slander my innocence out of thin air."

Asagiri shook his head and chuckled.

"Maybe he was completely impressed by my unique personality charm."

"Tsk...so narcissistic, and doesn't this mean the same thing?"

Yuuki Asuna first replied unhappily, then reached out and rubbed her left leg, sighing slightly.

"My left leg is still a little sore and weak, and I feel like it will take at least another hour to recover."

"It's okay, there's no rush."

Kato Megumi comforted him gently, then asked curiously.

"By the way, who is that mentally ill person that Miss Sakuragawa mentioned earlier, the one who's been looking for a bride? Do you have any impression of him?"

"According to the in-game information, it should be Eddie Gluskin, nicknamed the Bridegroom. In the original game, he's quite tall and strong. Although he's nowhere near as strong as Chris Walker, he's quite powerful."

Hearing what Yuuki Asuna said, Iwanaga Kotoko immediately hugged her chest and said as if she was trembling.

"Oh, that's really difficult. A beautiful and elegant girl like me will definitely be targeted by him. But I'm already taken, and my heart belongs to someone else..."

"You think too much."

Yuuki Asuna glanced at Asagiri who was sitting there, and couldn't help but smile in her tone.

"That guy doesn't like you."

Before Iwanaga Kotoko could retaliate, Yuuki Asuna continued.

"Of course, he doesn't like Phantom and me because the bride he wants is a man."

"what?"

Iwanaga Kotoko and Kato Megumi were both confused when they heard this.

"That guy... likes men?"

"Do not."

Yuuki Asuna shook her head and explained with a smile.

"The bride he wants isn't a man, but a man transformed into a woman. Because of the abuse he suffered in his childhood, he has developed a serious mental illness. He both hates women and pursues them. Therefore, the brides he chooses are all men, and he personally transforms those men into women. As for how he does it... you should understand."

"Ah this..."

Seeing Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi staring at him and trying to hold back their laughter, Asagiri chuckled and spoke in a flat tone.

"Just laugh. If I really get cut, you won't be of any use to me anymore."

The three girls reacted differently to this.

Yuuki Asuna's pretty face flushed, she spat lightly and muttered softly.

"You're making dirty jokes again..."

Kato Megumi had a calm and indifferent look on her face, and just complained in a flat tone.

“I’ve never used it before…”

Iwanaga Kotoko's expression changed, as if she had heard the most terrifying thing in the world. She clenched her fists and waved them, her expression firm and unshakable.

"No, that guy... I won't allow him to get his hands on my treasure! I will risk everything I have to protect what's most important to me!"

"You always get so excited in strange places like this..."

Yuuki Asuna shook her head helplessly and sighed.

"We're currently on the third underground floor, and Old Huo is in Area C on the second underground floor. We need to first go up one floor to Old Huo's area, have the Leader take him in as a personality mask, then we need to go through the underground floor, return to the surface, and then escape from the building above ground. Only then can we complete the journey. During this process, we'll inevitably encounter obstacles from the mentally ill, and we might also... run into the person from headquarters mentioned in the diary. Based on the information we have now, they're most likely members of Blackwatch."

"Blackwatch..."

Hearing this name, even the usually eccentric Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but turn serious.

The three of them had never faced Blackwatch in person, but just listening to Asagiri's description and discovering some clues about what the organization had done in several copies were enough to indirectly confirm the terrifying power of this mysterious military organization.

The members of Blackwatch are all elites picked from hundreds. Each member has strong combat capabilities and will not feel fear, confusion, or hesitation. Most of the members even have mental strength so strong that they can be immune to Alice's exclusive skills.

Such a military organization is far from comparable to the mobile forces of the Demihuman Countermeasures Bureau.

"If you follow the normal player's path, you shouldn't run into Blackwatch. After all, at this stage, most players are doomed if they run into those guys. They won't even be able to resist."

Hearing Asagiri's words, Yuuki Asuna pursed her lips and said with a heavy expression.

"But... we're going to look for Lao Huo on the way, which means we won't be following the normal player's path, right?"

Asagiri nodded slightly: "Yes."

Feeling that the atmosphere was becoming a little heavy, Kato Megumi suddenly spoke softly.

"It's just Blackwatch. We can destroy it in a snap. There's no need to worry."

After saying this, Kato Megumi noticed that Asagiri, Yuuki Asuna, and Iwanaga Kotoko were all staring at her with strange eyes, and she couldn't help feeling a little at a loss.

"What, what's wrong?"

"You just..."

Iwanaga Kotoko asked tentatively.

"Are you imitating the Leader?"

"Pfft..."

Yuuki Asuna really couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. She looked at Kato Megumi whose face was slightly blushing and waved her hand.

"Sorry, sorry... It's just that your usual image is not suitable for such cool and passionate lines... Hahaha, too funny..."

"Alas, Phantom."

Asagiri shook his head, looking mysterious, and spoke earnestly.

"You still have a lot to learn in the area of being cool and pretentious."

Kato Megumi: “….”

Being extroverted once will lead to being introverted for life.

From now on, she will never imitate Asagiri and act cool again.

.............

Later, in a hall on the third underground floor.

"Clang!"

The moment a cute girl with twin ponytails took a step forward, a sharp iron fence suddenly rose from the ground, piercing through her abdomen and thrusting her body onto the ceiling, which was nearly four meters high.

“It hurts a bit…”

Even though his abdomen was completely pierced by the sharp iron fence, Crazy Mita still looked calm and composed. He just stared at Asagiri and others who walked to the iron fence in silence and sighed.

"I say, although I have no objection to this, can't you switch it up? Can't the hats and the others clear the way? Why are you picking on me alone?"

Asagiri walked up to the iron fence, reached out and bent it directly, creating a gap that could be passed through, and replied with a smile.

"That means it's hard for you to die. If my personality mask is destroyed, I will lose both my physical and mental strength."

Upon hearing this, Crazy Mita lowered his head weakly, and then spoke in a tone that was so flattering that it was impossible to complain.
