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

"what why?"

"that is..."

Kato Megumi tried hard to organize her words and spoke softly.

"Why do you like Utsunomiya-san?"

"Um..."

Kotoko Iwanaga sat up from the sofa, picked up the tray and black teacup on the coffee table, took a sip of the black tea in the cup, and then replied slowly with a smile on her face.

"Although I don't think there's any special reason to like someone, according to normal people's standards, Asagiri is very handsome, has a good figure, excels in both academics and sports, and his personality... although a little eccentric and abstract, it's impossible to feel bored when I'm with him. No matter how you look at it, it's normal for me to like him, right?"

"is that so..."

Kato Megumi nodded without comment. After all, she had never been in a relationship and had never liked any boy.

"Rather than this, why don't you go to your room and get some sleep?"

Kotoko Iwanaga stood up, stretched, rubbed her eyes sleepily, and yawned.

"Looking at the situation, those two won't be leaving the dungeon for a while. This time, the level will be cleared very quickly. You can definitely get some sleep and then go to school."

Kato Megumi nodded: "Well, I think this is better too."

Although I have already asked for leave in advance, it would be better to go to school since I can go to class after having enough rest.

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

A few hours later, at eight o'clock in the morning in the real world, inside the dungeon, in the administrative building of Ren Ai Hospital.

"There are less than two hours left until the dungeon ends..."

Asuna Yuuki's right hand holding the exorcist's sword trembled slightly. She looked at the special infected person whose body was covered with pustules, whose head was pierced by her sword, and whose mouth had a several-meter-long dark red tongue extending from it. She looked at Asagiri beside her and whispered.

"This is what they call a Smoker... Of the eight special infected, only the one described as the most powerful, the Tank, is one we haven't encountered yet."

Asagiri said thoughtfully while observing the smoker's body.

"Well, maybe with the difficulty set for this dungeon, there won't be any tank-type special infected."

Yuuki Asuna's expression looked a little complicated, and she sighed slightly.

"Even so, besides us, only those two players have completed the game. The rest of the players... have been eliminated..."

Asagiri glanced out the corridor window. The night had become pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly. She spoke softly.

"There are less than two hours left until the dungeon expires. If the system really has a plan to eliminate those slacker players, it should have appeared by now, and..."

Asagiri paused for a moment, then walked over to the body of the specially infected Smoker. He took out a black implantable locator from the tailbone near the neck, and placed it in the transparent plastic bag he was holding in his left hand.

And in that bag, there were nearly twenty blood-stained implantable locators.

Then, Asagiri said with a smile in his voice.

"If the owner of the locator saw so many coordinates representing special infected people concentrated in one place, he would definitely come to check it out. I hope to meet them, and then..."

"That's when things start to get interesting."

079 The Mysterious Black Army

Seeing Asagiri's eagerness to try and her excitement that was beyond words when she said this, Yuuki Asuna shook her head at first, but then the corners of her lips rose. Although her tone seemed a little helpless, it was accompanied by a gentle smile.

"Ah, you're such a jerk! There are probably very few players like you who truly treat this game like a game, playing it for fun and even anticipating danger. But there's nothing we can do about it. You're the Leader, after all. So, let's find out who is behind this city's downfall."

After hearing what Yuuki Asuna said, Asagiri shook her head.

"No, you leave first."

"I leave first? But..."

"Stop being brave."

Asagiri pointed at Yuuki Asuna's right hand holding the Exorcist's sword and said in a calm tone.

"For the past few hours, you've been killing those ordinary infected people, as well as the occasional special infected people. Your physical strength must have reached its limit long ago, right?"

"I..."

Before Asuna Yuuki could speak, Asagiri walked up to her, reached out and gently stroked Asuna Yuuki's long hair, and spoke with a smile.

"Don't worry, I have the 'Reversed Pocket Watch'. Even if things really go wrong, I'll definitely be able to complete the level and leave the dungeon. Besides, your current condition is very poor and you can't display your original combat power. Leave it to me to find out the information about the mastermind behind this. I'll relay it to you after we leave the dungeon, right?"

"Oh well."

Although Yuuki Asuna is the type of person who is unwilling to admit defeat and has a strong sense of self-esteem, she also knows that what Asagiri said is right.

At this moment, she could not even fight and might become a burden to the opponent.

"That..."

Yuuki Asuna raised her head, pursed her lips, and looked at Asagiri with deep worry in her eyes.

"You must pay attention to safety and be careful, understand?"

Asagiri nodded and spoke frankly.

"Then kiss me."

"It's already this hour, and you're still trying to take advantage?"

Yuuki Asuna blushed at first and said this angrily, then she hesitated for a moment, stood on tiptoe, kissed Asagiri lightly on the side of her face, and then said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"After you return safely, I'll kiss you somewhere else..."

Asagiri said sincerely, "So you can kiss wherever I say?"

"you..."

Yuuki Asuna was not the kind of naive girl. She immediately understood that Asagiri was making a dirty joke. She couldn't help but clenched her fist and lightly hit his shoulder, then said with shame and anger.

"Anyway, if you die, I...I will never let you go!"

The next second, after Yuuki Asuna clicked the confirmation button on the mobile phone APP, her figure gradually disappeared.

"Haha, I'm already dead, why are you still unresolved with me? It's not like we can have a resurrection match."

Asagiri said this first, then the smile on his face disappeared. He put the "unpredictable mask" back on his face, looked at the dark night outside the window, and muttered to himself.

"Could it be that the mastermind behind this is the same as I suspected, that group of people..."

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

Ten minutes later, at the gate of Ren Ai Hospital.

In the shadows of the night, many small dots flashing with blue light suddenly appeared. Then appeared a dozen mysterious people wearing black combat uniforms, wearing optical goggles and gas masks, wearing full-finger tactical gloves on their hands, and holding black rifles. Not a single piece of skin was exposed on their bodies. They advanced slowly in a standard combat team formation, like a special forces trooper.

There was only one person in this group, whose tactical jacket and protective gear were also black, but the lining inside was white.

The man in white combat uniform raised his left arm, and on his forearm armor, there was an LCD screen showing nearly twenty red dots in the administrative office building of Ren Ai Hospital.

"Fifty meters to the target location, keep moving forward."

After the commander-like person gave the order, the team ignored the corpses of ordinary infected people everywhere in the hospital and continued to move towards the administrative office building.

A few minutes later, the team entered the first-floor lobby of the administrative office building.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw a transparent plastic bag placed at the elevator entrance. Inside the bag were nearly twenty implanted locators that represented the red dots on the screen.

"Ok?"

As the team slowly approached, a member approached cautiously, took a closer look, and then replied to the commander.

"There doesn't seem to be a trap. Someone must have deliberately collected the locators and placed them here."

"Is it a trap..."

Just as the commander was about to give the order, the sound of light footsteps suddenly rang out in the originally silent hall.

The moment they heard the footsteps, all the team members simultaneously turned their guns and pointed them in the direction of the footsteps. However, in the bright picture they saw through the night vision goggles, it turned out to be a...

"Little girl? Human? Why is she here?"

Just as they were puzzled and didn't know why such a blonde and blue-eyed little girl with a teddy bear in her arms appeared in this city, the commander looked at the little girl approaching step by step and gave an order.

"Shoot her. Shoot her."

Faced with such an inhumane order, the team members had no intention of objecting at all. One of them had already pointed the gun at the little girl's eyebrows, but before he pulled the trigger, the little girl suddenly spoke in a sweet and soft voice.

"Can..."

"Will you please die for me?"

The moment the little girl finished speaking, four team members in black combat uniforms suddenly fell straight to the ground and stopped breathing.

"shot!"

Noticing that their teammate died in such a strange way, the remaining team members did not panic at all. Instead, they aimed at the little girl standing there and pulled the trigger.

The flash of fire from the gun barrel illuminated the originally dim hospital lobby.

But before they fired, the little blonde girl disappeared in an instant, as if she had never appeared.

"It disappeared... Could it be a strange creature?"

The commander in white combat uniform did not panic. Instead, he raised his hand, pressed the communication button, and then spoke.

"Report, Team A encountered a strange incident, requesting support..."

Just when he was halfway through his words, another voice sounded from not far away.

"Persona..."

"Human Shura."

The moment this voice sounded, a tall black shadow over two meters tall appeared in the lobby on the first floor.

The moment it appeared, it approached at an extremely fast speed, grabbed a team member wearing a black combat uniform with both hands, and tore the opponent's body into two pieces from the waist.

"Bang bang bang!"

Even after seeing the bloody scene of the team member's body being torn apart, the other special forces members did not hesitate at all. Instead, they turned their guns and pulled the trigger at the tall black shadow.

The dense rifle bullets instantly shattered the tall black shadow's body into pieces, and then disappeared into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the team members quickly moved towards the direction where the sound came from. After turning the corner, they found that there was no one there.

"The sound just now..."

The commander muttered to himself as he looked at the empty corridor.

"It's not a strange incident... but a man-made one? Who on earth could have slipped through the outer areas we monitor and sneaked into this city..."

"Asagiri, you're back!"

Seeing Asagiri appear on the sofa, Iwanaga Kotoko and Kato Megumi, who had just woken up from their nap, and Yuuki Asuna, who had just left not long ago and was still worried, immediately came up to him.

"You...your condition..."

Asagiri waved his hand, and although his face looked very tired, he still replied with a relaxed and smiling tone.

"It's fine. It just took some time to summon the Persona. I'm not hurt at all."

"That's good."

Hearing Asagiri's words, Yuuki Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively.

"You said you summoned a Persona, which means..."

"Ah."
