Asagiri nodded, looked at Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi in front of him, and spoke slowly.
"I encountered the mastermind behind the disaster in that city and fought with them. Just as I expected, the people in black that Alice mentioned and the army that the ghost in the hospital mentioned were actually members of the same military organization."
"Are they from the same organization?"
Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but frown slightly.
The person who had entered that strange hotel but did not deal with the floating corpse evil spirit, and the person who injected the virus into the survivors in this copy, placed implantable locators on the special infected people, and used an entire city for experiments, were actually from the same organization?
"Yes."
Asagiri paused here, then spoke softly.
"The mysterious organization they belong to is called..."
"Blackwatch."
080 The profound meaning of player identity transfer rights
"Blackwatch?"
Iwanaga Kotoko, Kato Megumi, and Yuuki Asuna looked at each other, as none of them had heard of this name.
"What kind of people are they?"
"To put it simply, it's a mysterious military organization, but..."
Asagiri took the cup of water handed to her by Yuuki Asuna and took a sip before continuing.
"Every member of Blackwatch is battle-hardened, with impeccable abilities in all aspects. They are the most elite combatants, but they are completely different from the typical military."
"To complete their mission, they completely disregard the casualties of civilians or innocent people. Even if their target is unarmed, they will kill them without hesitation, let alone any remorse. It can be said that they will do whatever it takes."
"Every member of Blackwatch is like a brainwashed fanatic. No matter what kind of enemy they face or what kind of situation they face, they never panic or feel fear."
"I tested it before leaving the dungeon. After Alice activated her special skill, only four of the thirteen-member team failed the mental strength test and died. This is sufficient to prove that the mental strength of Blackwatch soldiers, due to their unwavering faith, is far superior to that of ordinary people."
"I also heard that the commander in the white combat uniform, believing my attack on them was some kind of strange incident, reported it to headquarters and requested support. Based on this, it can be assumed that Blackwatch not only understands strange phenomena, but also has mastered some means to eliminate them."
After hearing Asagiri's description of Black Watch, Iwanaga Kotoko, Kato Megumi, and Yuuki Asuna all looked heavy-hearted.
"In the world where the copy is located, such an organization actually exists... But fortunately, we don't have to worry about how to deal with them for the time being..."
"No, you're wrong."
Iwanaga Kotoko interrupted Kato Megumi's words of relief and said with a serious expression.
"You forgot one thing."
"whats the matter?"
Kotoko Iwanaga spoke slowly and said something that shocked Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi.
"As long as you can get the phone of a deceased player... you can register as a player."
"You're saying... if those Blackwatch members get a dead player's phone, they can also enter the various system-configured dungeons like us and get rewards?"
Hearing what Yuuki Asuna said, Iwanaga Kotoko nodded first, and then added.
"And according to Asagiri's description, their biggest advantage over the players in our world is that they're an organization. If they collect enough phones and transfer enough player permissions, they can easily allow dozens, or even hundreds, of people to enter a dungeon at once. Then, the players who enter the same dungeon with them...will become targets for their torture and information extraction."
"this..."
Both Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi could realize how terrible what Iwanaga Kotoko said was.
Although the two of them have almost adapted to the battle now, they are, after all, only freshmen in high school who have just become "players" for a short time. Their combat awareness and skills cannot be compared with the elite of Blackwatch.
The members of this team...
They are already at the top of the current players' strength. It is even possible that their captain, Utsunomiya Asagiri, is the strongest player since the game was launched.
Even so, Asagiri could only kill five members of Blackwatch while ensuring his own safety and setting up an ambush and surprise attack in advance.
"There's no need to worry so much."
As if sensing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Asagiri spoke with a smile despite looking very tired.
"Have you forgotten? When entering the game, you are not allowed to bring any weapons or equipment. Although those people from Blackwatch are well-trained, if they fight against us who possess extraordinary strength and enhanced physical fitness without firearms, they will be the challengers."
"Besides, at this stage, the system is unlikely to assign players a dungeon where they must face Blackwatch. Such a dungeon will only appear after the player's overall strength reaches a certain level."
"Since we assume that the game's difficulty will increase by one level every month, which means that after all surviving players have completed at least one dungeon other than the tutorial, I think it will take at least two or three months before a dungeon hostile to Blackwatch appears."
Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna said thoughtfully.
"So the ultimate enemy this game sets for us...is it Blackwatch?"
"Maybe, but..."
Asagiri paused here, and seeing his expression, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Why do you look so hesitant? This isn't the you I know."
"There is a possibility. If I tell you, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
"What's the possibility?"
Chao Wu slowly said, "Since we, as players, are going to another world every time we enter a dungeon, then..."
"If someone from Blackwatch becomes a player and chooses to enter a dungeon, is it possible that they'll end up in our world?"
Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi fell silent, but Iwanaga Kotoko remained calm. She picked up the cup of red tea, took a sip, and then said lightly.
"In that case, we now have another reason to become stronger."
"Well, that's true."
Asagiri nodded slightly and looked at Yuuki Asuna.
"What's your reward for clearing the level this time?"
Yuuki Asuna just then remembered this and quickly replied.
"I received an A+ for completing the game this time. It's probably because I spent too much time in the dungeon, so the score was lowered. However, I killed so many special infected and gained a considerable boost through my exclusive talents. Overall, it was definitely a win. As for the rewards... just take a look."
Asagiri took the phone handed to her by Yuuki Asuna and saw that the APP displayed the rewards the other party had obtained after completing the dungeon, a piece of equipment, and a skill with a passive effect.
【Crimson Cape (Quality Blue, Excellent)】
[When wearing this equipment, the player's true appearance will be hidden to a certain extent, and the player's physical recovery speed will be slightly increased]
[Passive Skill: Swordsman's Determination]
[Swordsman's Resolve: When attacking with a sword-type weapon, the physical strength consumption is halved (the physical strength consumption of active skills is also halved)]
"A passive skill and a piece of equipment... They both seem to suit you."
After hearing Asagiri's comments, Yuuki Asuna nodded first, then asked curiously.
"What about you? As a high-level player, you can customize the amount and type of rewards. Furthermore, you've achieved the highest S+ clearance rating this time. What kind of rewards do you plan to customize?"
"Um..."
Asagiri spoke while thinking.
"Physical fitness enhancement, and skills, after all, weapons and equipment can be obtained in dungeons, and as strength increases, they will definitely be replaced and eliminated. Compared to those external items, I still prefer pure numerical enhancement at this stage. Our team is very short of tanks right now. The main tank vacancy can be filled by Shura. I will be the sub-tank. After all, Asuna's ability is more inclined towards physical main C."
Hearing these words, Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes couldn't help but flash.
Asuna?
Since when did Asagiri change the way she addressed Yuuki Asuna from "Yuuki-san" to calling her Asuna by her name?
These two people...could they have secretly done something while Kato Megumi and I had left the copy early?
While Iwanaga Kotoko was pondering, Asagiri had already taken out her mobile phone and confirmed the type and amount of customized rewards for this level in the APP.
[Your customized reward has been confirmed as: one skill, physical fitness enhancement]
[Reward: Significantly enhanced physical fitness, skill "Ice Spear"]
[Ice Spear: Consumes a certain amount of mental energy to create a sharp ice spear and shoot it at the enemy, causing physical damage with frost attributes.]
After receiving the physical fitness enhancement as a reward for clearing the level this time, Asagi's physical fitness rating in the panel displayed on the APP was also upgraded from "the original professional athlete level (excluding the passive enhancement effect of Human Shura)" to "close to the human limit". If the passive effect bonus of Human Shura is taken into account, his current physical fitness has already exceeded the human limit.
"Finally, I cleared another dungeon~"
Asuna Yuuki stretched out her body and rubbed her eyes sleepily.
"No, I'm almost dying of sleep. I really need to get some sleep."
Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko immediately stretched out her hands towards Asagiri and showed a sweet and innocent smile.
"You've been working hard, so come and rest with me. As a special reward, you can sleep on my chest."
Asagiri glanced at Iwanaga Kotoko's barren chest, shook her head, and replied sincerely.
"Forget it. Your chest is too hard, almost unshakable. I'm afraid it will hurt my head if I use it as a pillow."
Iwanaga Kotoko was furious, waving her fists and complaining like a Chihuahua whose tail was stepped on.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're going too far, aren't you? Aren't you afraid of hurting my pure, fragile, delicate, sensitive girl's innocent heart?"
"But forget it now. Your heart is yellower than a mango, yet you're still here, pure, fragile, delicate and sensitive?"
Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko's face flushed with anger, Asagiri stood up and suddenly changed the subject.
"Let's go."
Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Where...to?"
"Where else can we go?"
Asagiri replied calmly, "Of course I'm going to school."
081 Shinomiya Kaguya's flaws are completely exposed
Later, in the classroom of Class A, first grade, Private Shuchiin Academy.
The homeroom teacher, Ashikaga Miwa, was giving a lecture, and the students were all concentrating. After all, the students who could enter Class A had excellent grades, which is commonly known as the key class.
However, in the corner of the classroom, near the window, a student was lying on the table, sleeping like a baby, which was completely out of tune with the picture of serious study.
Although Shinomiya Kaguya seemed to be listening attentively, every time she lowered her head to take notes, she would secretly glance at Asagiri who was sleeping in the corner of the classroom, but was not criticized or woken up by the homeroom teacher, Mr. Ashikaga.
"Utsunomiya-san...you're actually sleeping during class?"
Shinomiya Kaguya frowned slightly, feeling very strange.
You have to know that Utsunomiya Asagiri was the first in the entrance examination of Shuchiin High School and the first in the joint examination of Sakura Province. He is a true genius at the level of a god of learning. Although he has not been very hardworking in his studies since the beginning of the school year, he has never fallen asleep in class.
Why is this happening?
Could it be that... the other party entered the dungeon last night, or early this morning, and was severely sleep deprived, so he slept during class?
Then why not just ask for leave?
Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. To be honest, she couldn't even quite understand Utsunomiya Asagiri.
According to normal logic, if the other party is really a "player" and is seriously sleep deprived because of entering the dungeon, he will definitely find a reason to ask for leave. After all, his homeroom teacher, Mr. Ashikaga, has an extraordinary attitude towards him. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, so is it difficult to ask for leave?
However, it is also possible that he is using anti-logic to clear himself of suspicion...
No, that's not right.
If that were the case, wouldn't it mean that Utsunomiya Asagiri, as a "player," had already begun to suspect that there were other "players" around him, and even that he had already started to suspect himself and Chika? Otherwise, who was he trying to show his illogicality to?
Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't think of a convincing answer, the only way was...
Go and test the other party.
...............
The morning classes ended quickly and it was time for lunch break in the blink of an eye.
