In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

"Alright, let's get down to business. This time, the dungeon covers an entire city, so the frequency of operations will be higher. We still need to take the most basic protective measures."

Seeing Asagiri take out bandages and muscle patches from her bag, Yuuki Asuna knew what the other party was going to do and quickly spoke first.

"Well, I've already taken precautions to prevent sprains. I'll take care of Iwanaga-san and Kato-san, so I'll take care of them."

065 Zombie instance begins

Hearing what Yuuki Asuna said, Asagiri didn't say much, but directly handed her the box of muscle patches and bandages.

"Then come on."

After getting Asagiri's affirmative answer, Yuuki Asuna breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she didn't want to see Asagiri taking protective measures to prevent other girls from spraining their ankles. That kind of scene was really too intimate.

Simply put, she gets jealous.

However, Yuuki Asuna always felt that Asagiri seemed to see through her thoughts. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she felt a little flustered and dazed. In order to hide her emotions, she hurriedly took the muscle patch and bandage handed to her by Asagiri, then walked to Iwanaga Kotoko and whispered.

"Take off your shoes and stockings."

"it is good."

Seeing that Iwanaga Kotoko only took off her right shoe and white stockings, Yuuki Asunami spoke subconsciously.

"Take off the other side too. Both feet need to be tied."

"Are you OK..."

Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Yuuki Asuna speechlessly.

"My left leg is a prosthesis, what should I tie it on..."

"Oh, yes, I forgot..."

Yuuki Asuna was so embarrassed by what she had done that she didn't know what to say.

"Why are you so absent-minded? This is not like you..."

Kotoko Iwanaga frowned, first looked at Asuna Yuuki's blushing face, then looked at Asagiri who was sitting there, as if she suddenly thought of something, and said jealously.

"Could it be that he helped you last time you entered the dungeon..."

"that..."

Just when Iwanaga Kotoko was halfway through her speech, Kato Megumi interrupted her in a soft voice.

"There are only seven minutes left before we enter the dungeon. Can we talk about anything after we get in? Let Yuuki... oh no, let Violet help us with the protective measures first."

Kato Megumi's words seemed to have some kind of magic. Although her tone and voice were very soft, it made people unable to ignore it. Originally, she was jealous and wanted to ask Iwanaga Kotoko if it was Asagiri who put the bandages and muscle stickers on Yuuki Asuna when they entered the dungeon before. However, after hearing Kato Megumi's words, she temporarily put aside the idea of asking. After all, they were about to enter the dungeon, and at this time, she would not act willfully.

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

A few minutes later, the four people who had made all the preparations saw a thick dark red fog appear in front of their eyes at the same time.

[Start entering the dungeon now]

When the thick red fog dissipated, Asagiri, wearing the equipment "Unpredictable Mask", immediately looked around the moment his vision was restored.

After confirming that Iwanaga Kotoko, who had put on a masquerade mask, as well as Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi were by his side, he began to observe the surrounding environment.

This seems to be the living room of an apartment. The bedroom should be behind the two wooden doors, the bathroom should be behind a glass door, and there is also a small compartment that is the kitchen. It is a small apartment with two bedrooms and a living room, without an independent balcony, and an area of about 80 square meters.

Judging from the light coming through the window, the time point in this copy's world is different from the real world, it is daytime.

"Is it finally starting..."

Asagiri looked eager to try and spoke softly.

"Search this room to see if there's any valuable information that could help us clear the level."

"OK, all right."

Seeing that after Asagiri finished speaking, Yuuki Asuna and Iwanaga Kotoko immediately started searching without any hesitation or delay, Kato Megumi reacted belatedly and hurriedly began to look for information in the apartment.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind.

Is this the efficiency of top players? Entering a dungeon, appearing in a completely unfamiliar location, they don't waste a single second, and without any mental preparation, they can directly enter the strategy state.

Sure enough, teaming up with these three people was the right choice.

At this moment, Yuuki Asuna, holding the Exorcist's sword, had tensed her nerves and carefully opened a wooden door. When she saw the scene in the room, she couldn't help but frown and called out softly.

"Leader, something's going on here."

Asagiri walked over and saw a corpse emitting a foul smell lying on the bed in the bedroom. On the bedside table inside, there was a notebook with a black cover and a ballpoint pen.

He grasped his equipment, the "Cursed Rope Dart," and walked straight into the bedroom. The corpse on the bed did not suddenly sit up and attack, or open its eyes, like in a cheesy horror movie. It just lay there quietly.

Seeing this, Yuuki Asuna followed into the bedroom. With a flash of cold light, the exorcist sword in her hand had pierced through the head of the corpse from the center of the eyebrows. Then she nodded and muttered to herself.

"Well, then, it must be dead."

After a thorough search, the four confirmed that there were no zombies or other valuables in the apartment. There was only a black-covered notebook on the bedside table. The contents of the notebook seemed to be the diary of the owner of the apartment, that is, the corpse.

Asagiri didn't waste any time. He simply glanced at the previous contents that didn't contain much information, such as "What's wrong with this world?", "Why does this thing appear?", "Zombies? How is this possible!", etc. When he turned to the last few pages, he finally found a valuable chapter.

【Today is already fourteen days since that incident】

We've run out of bottled drinking water and very little food left... I have no choice but to head to the convenience store downstairs to stock up while I still have energy.

After reading this page, Asagiri turned to the next page, and what caught her eye were four big characters.

【I was bitten】

At this moment, although it was really a bit hellish, such an unexpected reversal almost made Asagiri unable to hold back.

He turned his head and took a look, and found that there was indeed a deep wound on the arm of the corpse wearing a short-sleeved shirt, so deep that the bone could be seen.

Those things moved so slowly... but I still got bitten accidentally. Why... why did this happen...?

[I'm so thirsty... so hungry... I can't care less... I'll just drink the tap water... Even if I end up looking like a ghost, it doesn't matter...]

Today is the sixteenth day.

[I didn't turn into those things, but... my wounds have become infected and inflamed, and my whole body feels hot... I no longer have the energy to go out and find medicine... I don't dare go out again. Rather than being eaten alive by them, I'd rather die in my own home...]

This is the end of the diary.

"Hmm? This isn't right..."

Before entering this copy, Yuuki Asuna had obviously done some relevant homework. After reading the contents of the diary, she immediately discovered some suspicious points.

"This person drank tap water and didn't turn into a zombie. He was bitten by a zombie, but didn't turn into a zombie either. After he died, he was just an ordinary corpse, which means he wasn't infected... Waterborne transmission has been ruled out, airborne transmission has been ruled out, and blood transmission has been ruled out. These transmission routes have all been ruled out... So, is this so-called zombie virus not contagious at all? Or... is it one of those viruses that loses its infectiousness after infecting the host?"

"There is too little information now to analyze it."

Iwanaga Kotoko replied first, then said softly.

"However, this is good news. The diary says that the zombies move very slowly, and he himself verified it for us. Even if bitten by a zombie, we won't be infected with the virus. It seems that just as the Leader said, the zombies in this dungeon are the easiest to deal with and the least difficult."

"But don't forget, there are also so-called special infected people. We can't take it lightly."

Yuuki Asuna said this first, then looked at Asagiri and said.

"Leader, did you get the city map?"

"got it."

Asagiri took out his cell phone and opened the app with the eye icon. He saw a floor plan inside, which was obviously a map of the city.

"Each of you take a picture."

"it is good."

Asagiri spoke only after Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi had each taken photos with their mobile phones and completed the copying of the map in this way without any signal or network.

"However, even with a map, if we want to find our way and find the route to 'Ren Ai Hospital', we still need to find a reference point to determine where we are in the city."

"Well, let's get started."

Seeing that Asagiri, Yuuki Asuna, and Iwanaga Kotoko had already determined the next action plan in a few words, Kato Megumi clenched her hands and secretly made up her mind that she must catch up with the pace of these three as soon as possible. After all, the relationship between teammates is about helping each other. If she doesn't show her ability, she will only become a burden to these three.

"Let me go out first."

Hearing Kato Megumi's sudden words, Yuuki Asuna said with a little worry.

"Eh? Phantom, do you want to go out first? What if there are zombies outside..."

"It's fine."

Kato Megumi shook her head and gave a gentle smile.

"It's not certain that I'll encounter zombies. Even if I do, I can try out my unique talent to see if it can be useful. This is also part of the information gathering process, right? And if there's any danger, you can save me, right?"

"Correct."

Asagiri nodded and smiled reassuringly.

"Even if they can't react in time, as long as you're in danger, I'll use 'King's Castling'. If that's still too late, I'll use 'Reversed Pocket Watch'."

"That's it..."

Kato Megumi's eyes flashed, she pursed her lips, tucked her black hair behind her ears, and spoke softly.

"Thank you. I'm very touched that you're willing to use such a precious item for me."

Seeing Kato Megumi's appearance, Yuuki Asuna and Iwanaga Kotoko had the same idea in their minds.

Something is wrong, there is something very wrong with nine points.

066 Abnormally Low Difficulty

"That..."

Kato Megumi walked to the door of the apartment, took a deep breath, and spoke in a calm tone.

"I just opened the door?"

"Well, open it."

"it is good..."

Kato Megumi reached out and gently pressed the door handle down. With a slight sound, the apartment's security door slowly opened to the outside.

She never thought that one day she would feel nervous and uneasy about something as simple as opening the door and walking out.

But even so, Kato Megumi still plucked up the courage and walked out the door.

The reason why she joined the team was actually very simple and ordinary.

Kato Megumi didn't want to die, and she didn't want to die in a copy.

If you die in a copy, your body shouldn't return to the real world, right?

If that happened, her parents would definitely be very sad, but because their daughter's body has not been found, they hold on to a faint hope, thinking that their daughter is just missing and must still be alive somewhere. They will be troubled by this incident for the rest of their lives.

So Kato Megumi has made up her mind that no matter how dangerous and terrifying the copy is, she will never give up.

"Roar..."

When Kato Megumi stepped out of the apartment, she saw at a glance that in the corridor outside, less than ten meters away from her, there was a zombie with tattered clothes, blood on its face and half of its neck missing. It was wandering there and making meaningless, beast-like low sounds.

At this moment, her heartbeat couldn't help but stop for a moment, but the next second, Kato Megumi raised her right hand to the side, signaling Asagiri and others in the room not to take action for the time being, and then activated her own unique talent, "weak presence".

Then, she began to take steps and approached the zombie actively.

"Hoo...ho..."

Five meters, three meters, one meter...

In the end, Kato Megumi was already standing at a distance where the zombie could reach her with just a stretch of his hand, but the zombie's lifeless eyes didn't even pause when they swept over her, as if they didn't see her at all, and didn't make any aggressive behavior at all.

"My talent... is it really that powerful? I'm so close, yet I haven't been discovered? Or is it that the zombies' perception is so weak that even at this close, they can't detect me when my talent is activated?"

Kato Megumi thought to herself as she silently retreated until she returned to the apartment and reunited with Asagiri and the others. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
