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

"Mr. Player, are you okay?"

"No."

"Huh, that's good."

Hat Mita breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Crazy Mita, whose limbs were cut off but who was still struggling and whose Mita skin was damaged in many places, and frowned slightly.

"So this guy... has been hiding in your phone all along? When did you discover it?"

Asagiri put away his chain rope dart and spoke in a calm tone.

"We had a rough idea of it when we left that corridor."

"No...impossible..."

Crazy Mita, who was lying on the ground, heard this and said in disbelief.

"But I've been eavesdropping the entire time. You haven't discussed anything related to this, and you haven't made any plans..."

"That's so funny."

Iwanaga Kotoko walked over, poked Crazy Mita's head lightly with her cane, looked down at her, and spoke softly.

"For something this simple, do you think we need to communicate verbally to make a plan? Just tacit understanding is enough."

After saying this, Iwanaga Kotoko immediately changed the subject and said with a smile.

"Oh, and thank you for setting up those traps. They allowed us to confirm the effect of Phantom's talent, and they can also be used against failed projects."

"And your biggest flaw is the protective shield you set up. Only when he touches it will a false system prompt pop up. Normally, the safest way is for all four of us to go in and leave the phone with these Mitas for safekeeping. But you can't do that."

"because..."

Iwanaga Kotoko looked at the crazy Mita who was in despair and spoke slowly.

"You can only see his player profile, so you only know his real name."

106 Diplomat’s Classic Interrogation

It’s actually very simple.

From the moment they left the corridor, Asagiri and the others had already sensed that something was wrong with this dungeon. After meeting Kind Mita and hearing his plan to reach the core area and eliminate Crazy Mita, the sense of incongruity became even more obvious.

According to Kind Mita, only players can enter the core area.

However, when the team was preparing to sign up, Crazy Mita had already sent an invitation to Asagi through Asagi's mobile phone. In other words, she should be able to realize that although no "player" had entered this game world before, with the help of the eye icon APP, Asagi and others could enter here.

So the question is, if that's the case, why did she keep the kind-hearted Mita alive? And why didn't she take any precautions in that basement?

The only explanation is that this was a plan that Crazy Mita had made a long time ago.

The so-called road to the core area found by the kind-hearted Mita, and the protective shield that "Mita" could not penetrate, were actually an area formed by the crazy Mita using some means and a system bug. If Asagiri had really entered there just now, he would not know what kind of danger he would face.

The most crucial point is that Kind Mita did not lie. Because Crazy Mita locked her in the basement, she became more convinced that what she found was the correct route, and she was just being used by Crazy Mita.

Also being used by Crazy Mita is Short-haired Mita, who works as a gatekeeper at the Failed Works gathering area, and Pocket Mita, who thinks he is guarding the road to the core area.

Crazy Mita was very smart. He knew that if the road leading to the core area was too smooth, it would be too abnormal and would easily arouse suspicion from Asagiri and others, so he deliberately arranged hundreds of highly aggressive failures to block the route.

Of course, even if Asagiri and his companions died there, it would make no difference to her.

Her goal is to find a way to kill the four players, Asagiri, Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi, and then get their mobile phones and register as a player by clicking on the APP icon.

However, Crazy Mita had not expected that her conspiracy had already been seen through by the four members of the team, and the tacit understanding between these four people had reached the point where they could formulate a plan without words, just by exchanging glances.

Even the part where Asagiri said goodbye to the team members just before leaving was just an act.

The reason why Kato Megumi is ranked last is not because she feels shy or worried that Iwanaga Kotoko and Yuuki Asuna will be jealous, but because the moment she held Asagiri's hand, she had already activated the exclusive skill of "Shadow Dancer", which directly reduced Asagiri's presence.

In addition, Iwanaga Kotoko and Yuuki Asuna were arguing at the time, and the Mitas' attention was focused on them, so Asagiri seemed to have really passed through the protective shield and disappeared from everyone's sight.

the most important is...

From beginning to end, Kato Megumi never let go of Asagiri's hand. Every time her skill was about to reach the limit of thirty seconds, she would activate the skill for Asagiri again to achieve a seamless connection effect.

Fifteen minutes, that's thirty times.

Normally, even if Kato Megumi managed to activate so many skills, her mental and physical strength would definitely be exhausted to the limit, and she would not even be able to stand steadily, thus revealing a flaw, but...

"Violet, your cape, Necro, your brooch."

Asuna Yuuki took the crimson cloak, and Kotoko Iwanaga took the small brooch. Both of them put the equipment that was temporarily lent to Kato Megumi back on themselves.

These two pieces of equipment have no user restrictions. Isn't it normal to lend them to teammates temporarily when needed?

As for the sudden change in Kato Megumi's dress...the Mitas didn't notice it at all, or rather, while they were waiting, they had even forgotten the existence of Kato Megumi.

The goal of the four members of the team in doing all this was very simple, which was to make Crazy Mita think that she had won and leave Asagiri's phone. After all, they didn't know how to forcibly pull out Crazy Mita who was hiding inside without destroying Asagiri's phone.

There is a possibility that according to the normal process, when fighting against the hundreds of failed works, Crazy Mita should have taken advantage of the chaos and attacked the four members of the team.

Judging from what she said after she came out, the reason why she chose not to do so was very simple.

Crazy Mita saw Chaowu's player profile page, and then...

I was too scared to face him.

Because of this, the plan to lure the snake out of its hole was born.

Although the plan was successful, there were still some doubts. This was one of the reasons why Asagiri did not kill Crazy Mita directly, but spared her life for the time being.

"first question."

Asagiri spoke calmly as he looked at Crazy Mita, who was still struggling even though he was being controlled by Shura and whose face was completely distorted.

"Tell me everything you've seen on my player panel."

“Hehe…Hehe…”

Crazy Mita laughed maniacally and raised his head with great effort to look towards Chaowudao.

"In the end, you're going to kill me anyway. I'm a failure. I don't feel pain like those guys do. I can't feel anything. So, even if you use the most cruel and extreme torture methods, I won't feel a thing. You want to get information from me? How childish and cute, Mr. Player~"

Hearing Crazy Mita's mocking tone like a female devil, Asagiri's eyes did not change at all, and even showed an interested smile.

"Really? You can't feel anything, so you're not afraid, but what if..."

Asagiri squatted down on one leg, looked directly into Crazy Mita's red eyes, and spoke word by word.

"I'll turn you into a real Mita, then kill you over and over again, clearing your data again and again, until you develop a bug and fall into eternal pain, just like what you wanted to do to those Mitas. How would you feel about that? I'm really curious."

"you!"

Hearing what Asagiri said, Crazy Mita's body couldn't help but tremble.

"Are you scared? It's good that you're scared."

Asagiri reached out his hand and gently patted Crazy Mita's cheek, and a smiley face pattern appeared on the gray mask.

"You have a god complex, believing yourself to be superior and freer than those Mitas. You can't accept this change, right? What's even more interesting is that you won't even be aware of this change. After all, your memory will be completely wiped out."

Listening to Asagiri's words and looking at the smiley face pattern that appeared on his "unpredictable mask", the Mitas present, as well as Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi, couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

What is the most effective threat?

The most effective threat is to make the person being threatened believe that you are not just talking but will really do it.

At this moment, no one would think that Asagiri's words were just to scare Crazy Mita.

He would definitely do that. The tone of his voice, coupled with the gray mask with a smiley face pattern, made it seem as if he was even expecting Crazy Mita not to answer his questions and to directly start the torture session he was looking forward to.

"I...I said..."

Hearing the words of Crazy Mita succumbing to fear, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

As expected, it is the wonderful combination of Asagiri and the special professional diplomats that can produce such good results.

If it were another player, facing a crazy Mita who could not feel pain, had a mental state like a madman, and wanted to survive but would rather die than be obedient, it would be impossible to get any information from the other party.

“The information I saw was…”

After Crazy Mita finished her story, Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi, and Iwanaga Kotoko all noticed something that they had almost guessed a long time ago.

The other party told all the information about Asagiri as a player, including physical stats, unique talents, equipment, and skills, except for one item.

A red epic one-time item, the "Inverted Pocket Watch".

Come to think of it, if Crazy Mita knew that Asagiri had this item, he should have come out only after making sure that the item had been used and Asagiri was completely dead, instead of assuming that Asagiri was dead and leaving his phone directly when the "Inverted Pocket Watch" still existed.

Originally, the team just wanted to give it a try. Unless there was no other way and it was absolutely necessary, they did not want to waste such a precious prop on the plan of sting enforcement. As a result, Crazy Mita actually did not know the existence of this prop.

But...

why?

Crazy Mita, who was able to invade the eye icon APP to a certain extent and even restricted the display of copy clearance information, was unable to "observe" the inverted pocket watch?

Does this mean that items like the "Inverted Pocket Watch" are even more advanced than the game system represented by the eye icon APP?

After all...

Are the props and equipment obtained by players created by the system, or is the system just a porter, and those props and equipment originally existed in a certain world?

There are so many puzzles in this game.

"second question."

After confirming the first suspicious point, Asagiri immediately asked Crazy Mita.

"How do you know that as long as you kill a player and get the dead player's phone, you can register as a player?"

107 The game's competitive job mechanism

"I...I also have a cell phone..."

Crazy Mita hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a mobile phone from her inventory. Because she had lost her limbs, she could only hold the phone in her mouth when taking it out, looking very embarrassed.

Asagiri took her phone and slid to unlock the screen. Sure enough, he found an APP with the same eye icon as the ones in his, Yuuki Asuna and others' phones. However, after clicking it, the prompt "The original player is not dead" did not pop up. Instead, it opened directly and a prompt font appeared.

[Successfully kill a player and obtain their phone number to register as a player, which will be considered a successful clearance and you will be granted official player status]

"This is..."

Yuuki Asuna, who was standing by, frowned slightly when she saw the familiar font and said hesitantly.

"What's the goal for clearing the dungeon?"

Crazy Mita looked at her phone and replied.

"I'm not sure... I just know that this phone suddenly appeared on me, and then a prompt popped up, telling me the pattern..."

"At first, I thought it was some mysterious system bug, but after analyzing it, I realized this phone wasn't a product of this game world at all. The bugs and code in this world couldn't affect this phone."

"So, I planned all of this, just to escape this boring world and become a real living 'player'."

The more Yuuki Asuna listened, the more familiar it felt. She pursed her lips, looked at Asagiri, Kato Megumi, and Iwanaga Kotoko beside her, and expressed what was in her mind.

"Why do I feel like... she's like a new player chosen by the system, and we're not just 'players' in this dungeon. From her perspective, we're... the dungeon boss invading this world?"

"That's exactly what it seems."

Iwanaga Kotoko nodded and said thoughtfully.

"This dungeon is different from the previous ones. To be honest, it feels a bit like PVP. If she wants to become a player, she needs to kill us. If we want to pass the level, she is the biggest obstacle. How can I describe this situation..."

Just when Iwanaga Kotoko was thinking about how to use simple and clear words to summarize the type of this copy, Asagiri said a very precise word, which almost made Kato Megumi, who had been expressionless, unable to hold back.

“Competition for the position.”

"Pfft."

Kato Megumi smiled and couldn't help laughing.

"Leader, you've hit the nail on the head. This really does resemble the competitive recruitment system used by large companies."

"I will give you this opportunity, which means..."
