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

What Iwanaga Kotoko, as well as Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi beside her did not expect was that this time Asagiri did not respond with abstract words, but agreed directly.

Iwanaga Kotoko was stunned for a moment at first, then she looked very moved, even raised her hand a little exaggeratedly to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said in a tone of tears of joy.

"Is this what they call sincerity that can move mountains and break rocks? Leader can't resist my charm after all~"

"Don't go crazy here."

Asagiri replied in a flat tone.

"Have you forgotten the negative effects of your talent? Even if your mental energy isn't depleted, if your physical strength is too low, you won't be able to use any skills. You're very light, so carrying you won't consume any physical strength at all. Letting me carry you will allow you to conserve your energy and maintain the team's combat effectiveness so we can respond to emergencies. This is the most reasonable option."

"Tsk... Really..."

Iwanaga Kotoko curled her lips and couldn't help but complain.

"She's so pretty, but she's so cruel in her words. Not cute at all..."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna, who was sitting in the passenger seat, replied unhappily.

"Just be normal. If you want to go crazy, wait until you clear the level."

Iwanaga Kotoko said confidently: "I found a car for the team. I have done a great job."

Yuuki Asuna was a little speechless, and sighed while holding her forehead.

"Alas, a warlock seeking credit."

Listening to the conversation between Asagiri, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi still looked calm and peaceful, just thinking silently in her heart.

These three teammates of mine...all seem to have outstanding personalities, distinct character traits, and a strong presence.

However, these three people have very different personalities, ways of thinking and styles of action, but how can they not only have a tacit understanding in the copy, but also become such good friends in the real world?

The team I joined is really amazing.

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

Ten minutes later, at an intersection two kilometers away from Ren Ai Hospital.

"I can't do it anymore...I really can't do it anymore..."

Listening to the weak words of Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi, and seeing them bending over and holding on to the wall, looking like they were unable to continue, Asagiri shook his head, chuckled and spoke.

"Actually, I'd rather hear you say lines like this in other situations."

"You, you still have the mind to joke? I can't take it anymore..."

Yuuki Asuna's face looked a little pale, and she stared at the black car with lingering fear.

"You said you can drive... but this isn't driving anymore, it's racing, right?"

What just happened?

Simply put, Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi are carsick.

In fact, they were not prone to motion sickness, but the problem was that Asagiri was driving too fast.

It took only ten minutes to drive over twenty kilometers, and there were various drifting and turning operations along the way. It seemed like I couldn't wait to stand up and step on the accelerator.

The one who suffered the most was not Kato Megumi and Yuuki Asuna, but the black car.

If it had a mind, it probably would not have thought that one day, its commuter car would have the opportunity to speed recklessly on the roads of a city, with the engine roaring and the tires smoking, and it would be on the verge of being scrapped.

But as the saying goes, if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening.

It's worth its life.

"Is it already burnt out..."

Asagiri patted the black car gently, her voice filled with emotion.

"You tried your best. I will never forget your black car in my life."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna, who had already recovered from motion sickness, couldn't help but complain.

"Why are you still trying to communicate with the car... Hurry up and get going! If you dawdle any longer, you'll lose all the time you gained on the way."

"Well, it's time to go."

Asagiri nodded, looked at Iwanaga Kotoko who was eager to try, bent her legs and lowered her body.

"Come up."

"Okay~"

Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, and even her eyes narrowed slightly with joy. She ran over impatiently, put away her equipment cane and masquerade mask, and jumped directly onto Asagiri's back, her two white arms wrapped around his neck.

Seeing this, Yuuki Asuna became a little anxious and said with an unhappy look on her face.

"I can understand if you put away your cane, but why did you take off your mask as well?"

"It's too stuffy to wear~"

Kotoko Iwanaga lay on Asagiri's back, her cheek against his neck, and said with a happy smile on her face.

"Besides, I'm worried the mask is too hard. What if I accidentally bump into the Leader? So I'd better take it off~"

Yuuki Asuna clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she spoke angrily.

"You are blatantly taking advantage of me!"

"Oh, that can't be helped. I'm weak and delicate, and I'm a warlock who relies mainly on mental power."

Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko's ungrateful look, Yuuki Asuna was almost blushing.

At this moment, she had the most objections to the system. Even when she first entered the game, she had never felt as strongly dissatisfied as she did now.

Why?

Why didn't she change her job to a sorcerer like Iwanaga Kotoko?

In that case, wouldn't she be able to let Asagiri carry her on her back with good reason and in a natural way?

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

Ten minutes later.

"Is this the Ren Ai Hospital..."

Asuna Yuuki stood at the gate and glanced at the hospital sign next to it that had the word "Mercy Hospital" written in gold letters in English, but because it was stained with blood, it exuded a strange and terrifying atmosphere. Then she raised her head and looked at the buildings inside the gate, frowning slightly.

"It's not even marked on the map. I originally thought it was a small hospital with only one building, but...it turned out to be a large general hospital? Finding those so-called antibody reagents...it's probably going to take quite a while."

"So, this is actually the real beginning of this copy."

Kotoko Iwanaga jumped off Asagiri's back, took out her cane again, adjusted the white beret on her head with her other hand, and spoke slowly.

"This dungeon gives us ten hours, which seems ample. In reality, arriving at Ren Ai Hospital is only the first stage of screening. The real test is how, exhausted after the long journey, players can find the antibody test kits stored in the hospital."

"That's right. This is how difficult a dungeon should be."

Asagiri looked at the hospital buildings not far away and spoke softly.

"Also, along the way, apart from that bloated bile zombie, we haven't seen any special infected individuals. According to the game's settings, this hospital definitely can't be completely free of dangerous factors. So... there must be special infected individuals in this hospital, and maybe a large number of ordinary zombies as well."

"that..."

It was not until this time that Kato Megumi finally couldn't help but speak.

"Why do I feel like our attacking pace is so fast?"

“Don’t feel it, it’s just like that.”

Asagiri smiled and explained.

"The special hint I received saved us the trouble of searching for a route. Violet's special hint allowed us to confirm the existence of the special infected from the start. Necro's ability allowed her to help us find a working vehicle, saving us time on foot. And if we can find the ghosts wandering around this hospital, we should be able to get the location of the antibody reagents. So, in order to get a high level clearance rating, we are definitely pursuing a speedrun, and we have the ability to achieve it."

After saying this, Asagiri walked towards the hospital with a calm tone.

"Now, let's start the strategy."

..........

After entering Ren Ai Hospital, Asagiri and others decided to explore the ordinary outpatient building closest to the entrance first.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the first floor lobby, Kato Megumi saw a sign.

"Here is a detailed map of the hospital."

"Let me see..."

Kotoko Iwanaga came over and muttered to herself as she looked at it.

"Outpatient Building... Inpatient Building 1, Inpatient Building 2, Hospital Administration Building, Medical Examination Building... There are five buildings in total. It really is a large general hospital..."

At this moment, Asuna Yuuki suddenly noticed a black shadow flash by the glass fence on the second floor, and then the black shadow pounced towards Kotoko Iwanaga on the ground at an extremely fast speed.

"careful!"

Without any hesitation, Asuna Yuuki quickly came in front of Kotoko Iwanaga and Kato Megumi, then tightly grasped the Exorcist sword in her hand, and with a chopping gesture, she forced the black shadow back.

It was not until this time that everyone saw the true face of the black shadow.

A zombie was crawling on the ground on all fours, wearing a hoodie and shorts, with gray-black and rotten skin, like a beast.

Asuna Yuuki stood in front of Kato Megumi and Iwanaga Kotoko, holding the Exorcist sword horizontally in her hand, staring at the zombie in front of her, frowning slightly.

"This guy... is also a special infected person."

070 Crying in the Morgue

Just as Yuuki Asuna finished speaking, the special infected person wearing a hoodie suddenly let out a shrill scream, then his body tensed up, and he jumped up from the ground like an arrow, flying directly towards Yuuki Asuna.

"clang!"

Asuna Yuuki swung the sword in her hand, and it collided with the hand of the special infected person with sharp nails, making a sound like metal colliding. While forcing the opponent back, her body slid back nearly half a meter.

"This guy is not only fast and agile, but also very strong..."

After the attack, Asuna Yuuki looked at the special infected person's hands, which were covered with black and red stains due to blood and had sharp and dirty nails, and thought that compared to the bloated bile zombie, this guy in front of her was obviously more difficult to deal with.

"Necro."

"clear."

Hearing Yuuki Asuna calling her code name, Iwanaga Kotoko understood what she meant. She covered her right artificial eye with one hand, and a strange light shone in her violet left eye. She looked directly into the eyes of the special infected person and activated her skill, "Cursed Gaze".

"Roar..."

The special infected person swayed and couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his head, as if he was suffering from some pain.

Asuna Yuuki did not miss this opportunity. She gripped the Exorcist sword tightly in her hand and quickly rushed to the front of the special infected person. With a flash of cold light, she pierced the opponent's eyebrows with a sword. Then, before the opponent's body fell, she swung it horizontally again, cutting off the special infected person's hands and neck.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Looking at the headless body of this special infected person and its lonely head rolling to the ground, Yuuki Asuna finally breathed a sigh of relief, but said with lingering fear.

"They're both specially infected, but compared to that bile zombie, this one is significantly more threatening. Its mutated hands are as hard as metal. An ordinary player would have no chance of destroying it."

Iwanaga Kotoko nodded and said lightly.

"My Cursed Gaze can kill ordinary zombies instantly, but it can only cause mental interference to this one. It seems that the mental resistance of the specially infected is much stronger than that of ordinary zombies."

"Um...I'm sorry..."

Kato Megumi pursed her lips and said with her eyes lowered.

"Because my presence is relatively low, I became the target of this guy's attack. I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna laughed and shook her head.

"What's there to apologize for?"

Iwanaga Kotoko then smiled and said, "That's right, you didn't activate your talent yourself. You deliberately lowered your presence to lead that guy to attack me. It's just because your presence is relatively low and mine is very high. It's not your fault."

"You don't have to keep putting yourself down."

Asagiri also comforted him with a smiling tone.

"Every member of a team has their own responsibilities, and each has their strengths and weaknesses. This is normal. Besides..."
