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

After saying this, Chaowu pulled the metal chain with one hand and dragged the body of the special infected person in front of him. Then he squatted down and pulled out the rope dart that was inserted into the other party's forehead. Then he restrained his smile and spoke in a calm tone.

"Besides the sharp claws on her hands, the bones in her skull also seem to have been specially strengthened. I originally thought that with my strength and the high-quality purple weapon, I should be able to penetrate her entire head. Alas, I'm still not strong enough."

Listening to Asagiri's sigh, Yuuki Asuna didn't know how to complain. After all, although she was a swordsman of the combat profession, it could be seen from her exclusive talents and skills that she was mainly known for her speed and agility.

The other party's ability to throw a rope dart with one hand from several meters away and directly smash the head of a special infected person was so terrifying in her opinion that it was not like the power of a human.

"Based on the average player's current strength, it's nearly impossible to get past this particular infected person and enter the basement of this building. The only way to avoid it is to change the route and climb down the elevator shaft."

Hearing what Iwanaga Kotoko said, Kato Megumi said thoughtfully.

"What I mean is... because entering the underground level is extremely difficult, almost impossible for ordinary players, so according to the rules of this game, the antibody test kit is unlikely to be stored here?"

"Well, this game's dungeons won't have levels that are impossible for players to complete with their current abilities, but if you think about it from another perspective..."

Kotoko Iwanaga looked at both sides of the corridor, as if sensing the presence of any evil spirits, then adjusted her beret and spoke with a smile.

"Beyond the simple clearance requirements, this game's dungeons also feature hidden bonus levels specifically designed for those of us whose abilities far surpass those of ordinary players and who easily complete the clearance objectives. The basement level of the building where the morgue is located is very much like a bonus level."

Upon hearing this, Asagiri immediately became eager to try it out.

"Reward? Then we have to charge now."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna reminded seriously.

"Are you really just here to play games? Since there's a hidden level with special rewards that are valuable to us, there are also dangers that don't match the difficulty of the dungeon. While we definitely need to explore, we should still be vigilant and proceed with caution."

...........

Five minutes later, the four of them arrived at a dark morgue filled with a chilling and eerie atmosphere, which made people feel a little creepy.

Asuna Yuuki stood at the door, looking at the huge metal storage cabinets on both sides of the room. Her voice became a little trembling as she spoke with all her might.

"Well...well, you guys go ahead and search...I'll be on guard at the door..."

"So timid, so cute~"

Kotoko Iwanaga covered her lips with a chuckle and teased, then walked up to the metal cabinet with confidence. She didn't open it immediately, but observed it while calling out softly.

"Leader, take a look at this."

As I walked over, I saw that most of the morgues had things like sticky notes stuck on the outside.

Special Infected: Witch

Characteristics: Most are women who kneel and cry constantly. A few special species wander around a certain area. They are extremely sensitive to light and sound. Once provoked, they will go crazy and indiscriminately attack any living creature around them.

Strengths: Their defense is higher than that of ordinary infected people. Their mutated hands are extremely strong, even bullets cannot penetrate them. Once they lock onto a target, they will hunt them down relentlessly.

Weakness: Unlike other special infected people, they have no ability to think and are not attracted by the bile of vomiters, making them unable to be effectively guided and controlled.

072 Triggering the hidden level

"Is this... the information of the special infected?"

Kato Megumi looked at what was written on the label and murmured.

"From the description, the special infected we just encountered is a witch."

There was not only this piece of sticky note with the witch's information, but there were also several sticky notes stuck on the outside of the other morgues.

Special Infected: Vomitor

Characteristics: Obese, slow-moving, with an exaggeratedly large abdomen, cysts on the body, and vomiting yellow-green, sticky bile from the mouth

Strengths: The bile spewed by the Vomiter has a strong smell, which will attract a large number of ordinary infected people. Once contaminated by its bile, they will face a siege by the zombies. If the abdomen is attacked, it will directly explode, splashing a large amount of bile within a range of about ten meters.

Weaknesses: Extremely low defense, extremely slow movement, and even inferior combat power to ordinary infected people

...

Special Infected: Hunter

《Features: Short stature, crawls on all fours, usually does not walk on the ground, and mainly moves by climbing and jumping between buildings》

Strengths: Extremely fast and agile, and possessing a certain degree of thinking ability, it will choose to pounce on humans when they are alone, making it difficult for them to react.

Weaknesses: Although its limbs have been strengthened through mutation, its body and head defenses are no different from those of ordinary infected people, and it is unable to perform continuous pounces.

"These three special infected people are all ones we have already encountered."

Kotoko Iwanaga carefully examined the records on the outside of the morgue and spoke softly.

"There's also the Smoker, the Jockey, the Rammer, the Acid Spitter, and the Tank. A total of eight types of special infected... They've eliminated all the normal infected, but kept the special infected, implanted locators in them, and even have this detailed record. What on earth is the person controlling all this trying to do..."

Asagiri replied nonchalantly as she opened the compartment of the morgue.

"Either they're trying to create biological weapons, or they're trying to achieve the evolution of human bodily functions. These are all old tropes that are often seen in all kinds of zombie apocalypse themes."

Standing at the door, under the pretext of keeping watch, but actually because he was afraid that there might be some ghost in the morgue, Yuuki Asuna heard this and said thoughtfully.

"Turning everyone in a city into infected people, and even being able to select them as you wish, what kind of world is this, and what kind of organization is this..."

"We'll talk about expanding our worldview later."

Asagiri chuckled and replied, then looked at Iwanaga Kotoko and asked.

"Do you sense a strange aura?"

Kotoko Iwanaga stretched out her hand and pointed to a compartment in the morgue on the other side.

"There."

"it is good."

Asagiri walked over without hesitation and opened the compartment of the morgue. He saw the shadow of a man in a white coat, shivering, curled up on the cold metal bed.

"You...you don't come over here!"

When the ghost man saw that his hiding place was discovered, he immediately wanted to retreat into the morgue, but Chaowu immediately reached out, grabbed the back of his neck, dragged him out forcibly, and threw him to the ground.

"Tell the truth quickly."

Asagiri seemed a little impatient, and the gray mask reappeared on his face. On the mask, a dark red pattern was outlined, like a Prajna demon, which made people feel scared when they looked at it.

"Where are the antibody reagents?"

"Quack... on the top floor of the No. 2 Inpatient Building..."

Hearing the inexplicable sound of fear made by the ghost man who was frightened by Asagiri, Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly.

Sure enough, he has to be a diplomat.

Iwanaga Kotoko, who possesses unique talents, actually has the ability to negotiate with spiritual creatures to a certain extent, but after all, this is not the world where everyone lives, and the spirits here will not respect and worship her as a princess.

And as the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. Compared to negotiation, Iwanaga Kotoko is better at finding strange clues and inferring the whole truth of the incident from the information collected.

It's better to leave negotiation to professionals.

"What on earth happened in this city? Can't you just explain it yourself if you know better? Do you really have to ask me one by one? Hmm?"

The ghost man's body was shaking, as if he was extremely frightened, and he spoke in a trembling voice.

"Um...don't be angry, I'll explain right away!"

Seeing this scene, Yuuki Asuna, who was originally a little afraid of ghosts, was almost unable to hold back.

It has to be morning fog.

Although the professional characteristic of a diplomat is to enhance the effectiveness of all types of diplomatic means, according to Asagiri's personality, the means he is best at and likes to use the most are obviously intimidation and threats.

Coupled with his aura that frightened spirits and the enhanced diplomatic effects of his "unpredictable mask", it was not surprising that the ghost man had such a reaction.

but...

In the last hotel copy, when Asagiri coaxed the little girl, whose appearance was strangely named Alice, into becoming his personality mask, he seemed to be quite skilled in that combination of coaxing and deceiving words?

Is there a possibility... that this guy actually has a very high emotional intelligence and can switch to the most effective negotiation method according to the different personalities of the people he deals with?

No wonder his career is a diplomat.

"Um... My name is Robin Dias, I'm 33 years old, and I'm a doctor in this hospital..."

"Speak the key."

Asagiri interrupted directly, "You're even introducing yourself? Do you think I'm going on a blind date with you here?"

"Yes, yes, I'll get to the point right away."

The ghost man in the white coat trembled and spoke quickly.

"About a month and a half ago, a plague suddenly broke out in this city, with a near-100% mortality rate. On the very day of the outbreak, we began developing antibodies against the virus. But within twelve hours, the dead had transformed into monsters that would pounce on any moving creature..."

When Kato Megumi heard this, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What about the army? In such a serious situation, there should be troops to control it, right?"

"The army... did come, on the twentieth day of the disaster..."

When the ghost man said this, an extremely complicated expression appeared on his face, and he muttered.

"But... they didn't just come to eliminate those monsters. They brought all the survivors in the city to this hospital and injected them with some kind of virus. Most of them transformed into those monsters within twelve hours. The few who survived the twelve hours were taken away by them."

"What about you? Since you've become a wandering ghost, it means you died a natural death."

"Eh?"

Hearing Asagiri's words, the ghost man was suddenly stunned.

"What are you talking about? Revenant... am I dead?"

"What do you think?"

Asagiri pointed at the other person's heart. The ghost man looked down in the direction of his finger and found that there was a completely pierced, fist-sized, bloody hole in his left chest.

"Damn, am I really dead!?"

Kotoko Iwanaga spoke with a smile, as if she was narrating the story.

"Although you have become a ghost due to your strong obsession in life, you have forgotten the fact that you are dead. Many ghosts are like you. This is normal."

"Strong obsession..."

Hearing Iwanaga Kotoko's words, the man in the white coat seemed to recall something. His face suddenly became ferocious and distorted, and two lines of bright red tears flowed from his eyes, leaving two dark red marks on the originally clean and tidy white coat.

"My daughter... my young daughter was also injected with that stuff by those guys. Yes... I was trying to stop them... Then there was a gunshot, and I remembered everything..."

Seeing the face of the man in the white coat become as terrifying and distorted as a demon, and even the white coat on his body turned blood-red, Iwanaga Kotoko's expression was still as calm as ever, and she just did not comment.

"Hmm...recalling his greatest grudge in life, he transformed into an evil spirit...it seems he's completely lost his mind."

Iwanaga Kotoko sighed slightly and looked at Asagiri.

"It seems that further negotiations are no longer possible. The only thing we can do now is to send it on its way."

"Well, that's all."

Asagiri casually threw the rope dart in his hand and accurately hit the forehead of the ghost man in a white coat with a distorted face who had turned into an evil spirit. With the blessing of the curse attribute, the rope dart also had the effect of completely destroying the spirit.

"my daughter..."

Before the evil man's figure completely disappeared, his voice was still filled with endless resentment and obsession, which made Kato Megumi and Yuuki Asuna, who witnessed the whole process, look a little complicated.

"They actually did something so cruel as injecting a daughter with the zombie virus right in front of her father... What kind of people are they in this so-called army..."

Just as Kato Megumi finished speaking, Yuuki Asuna, who was closest to the door, suddenly frowned and lowered her voice.

"Wait a minute, listen... there seems to be a sound outside..."

After everyone quieted down, as expected, they heard a muffled sound like something being hit coming from the corridor outside.

"A crash? Could it be..."

Asuna Yuuki's expression changed, and she immediately opened the door of the morgue and came to the corridor. But just as she stepped out, accompanied by a loud noise that shook the ground, the tightly closed fire door of the stairwell was directly knocked against the wall.

The next second, dense swarms of zombies, like locusts, squeezed each other and poured into the corridor through the gap in the stairwell.

Seeing that the originally spacious corridor in the distance was completely blocked by a large number of zombies that suddenly poured in, Asuna Yuuki was so shocked that her pupils dilated.

Shouldn't ordinary infected people be like the zombie the four saw in the apartment, moving slowly and not posing much of a threat even to ordinary people?

Why were these zombies moving so quickly? Like locusts eager to devour all life?
