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

"Have you forgotten? The system won't give you a guaranteed death goal. We feel this dungeon's difficulty is ridiculously high only because we haven't received comprehensive information. We can't just give up just yet."

After hearing Asagiri's words, Yuuki Asuna and Iwanaga Kotoko gradually calmed down. However, when they saw him holding one of their hands each, they couldn't help but feel a little shy.

"that..."

Since entering this world, Kato Megumi has been like a transparent person, even ignored by passers-by. Suddenly, she said something shocking in a soft tone.

"Look at this atmosphere... Is there room for me? Do you want me to hold onto Leader's leg?"

"But please say goodbye soon."

Asagiri saw Kato Megumi's serious expression and quickly shook her head.

"What's the point of grabbing my legs? Luckily, we're a team of four. If it were six, with four people grabbing my limbs and one person grabbing my neck, I'd be torn into pieces. But forget it now."

After using this abstract sentence to ease the heavy atmosphere, Asagiri returned to his serious player mode.

"Let's take a look at the special tips we each received."

"it is good."

The four members of the team each took out their mobile phones and began to check the special prompts of the copy they had obtained.

Yuuki Asuna's special tip is [When facing certain targets, cutting off their limbs may be wiser than killing them directly], Iwanaga Kotoko's special tip is [In this copy, there are targets whose mental strength far exceeds yours, please handle them with caution], and Kato Megumi's special tip is [Even if you activate your exclusive skills, you may be noticed by some people].

The special tips they received were basically based on their own perspectives, but the special tips Asagiri received seemed to have nothing to do with his own combat capabilities, but were related to his special profession as a diplomat.

[Including you and other players, there are three camps in this world]

After reading all the special tips, Yuuki Asuna said thoughtfully.

"The special tips that Necro, Phantom, and I received seem to be warning us to be wary of certain individuals. Since Mita just said that this world doesn't seem to have any supernatural powers besides demihumans, we can temporarily assume that the person the system is warning us to be wary of is the demihumans, and the special tip that Leader received..."

Asuna Yuuki raised her hand to support her fair chin, frowned slightly and murmured.

"There are three camps. We players count as one, the official camp counts as another. So, the third one... are they the demihumans? Considering the special information we've received, the system's assessment shows that while the demihumans are being hunted by the official forces of this world, they're not completely powerless. At the very least, they can be called a camp. However, I don't think the ability to resurrect alone is enough for the system to give them such an assessment. This means that, beyond the publicly known information, the demihumans must possess some special powers."

"Well, that's a possibility, but we don't have enough information to draw a conclusion. But there's one more thing..."

Iwanaga Kotoko looked at the people in front of her and spoke softly.

"When we signed up, the system warned us that this instance would require at least 24 hours to complete. Why is there such a restriction? There are two possibilities."

"The first possibility is that the location of the institute is not only secret but also very remote, not located in any city. Otherwise, if we find the institute and find a way to take the train, it's possible to complete the clearance within 24 hours."

"The second possibility is that the defenses of the research institute are impossible for players at this stage to forcibly break through, but..."

"Twenty-four hours from the moment we enter the dungeon, something will happen that will cause the defenses of the previously impenetrable research institute base to collapse, allowing us to either directly breach it or infiltrate it."

Chapter 25:024 The Saint Hui Who Sees Through Everything

After hearing Iwanaga Kotoko's analysis, Kato Megumi spoke softly.

"I think the second possibility is more likely. If it's just a matter of distance... We're currently in Tokyo, in the middle of the country. The two farthest places are Hokkaido and Kagoshima."

"To Hokkaido, the Shinkansen takes less than four hours, and to Kagoshima, seven hours. But if you fly, it only takes two hours. Even if the research institute base isn't in the city, plus the time needed to gather intelligence, I think twenty-four hours is more than enough."

"Although the four of us don't have any special mobility abilities, the other players might have skills like flying and sprinting, or equipment that allows them to travel."

After Kato Megumi said this, Asagiri couldn't help but sigh.

"Wow, this is the episode you talk the most."

Kato Megumi raised the corners of her lips slightly and tucked her black hair by her ears.

"As a member of the team, I also have to think hard and make due contributions."

After saying this, Kato Megumi glanced at Yuuki Asuna and Iwanaga Kotoko who were standing there, and spoke in a casual but meaningful tone.

"After all, both Violet and Necro made important contributions."


"Forehead..."

Faced with Kato Megumi's words that seemed to imply something, Yuuki Asuna didn't know how to respond and could only quickly change the subject.

"So what should we do next? This dungeon is different from usual. We don't know if there are any other players sneaking in among the pedestrians. Furthermore, the goal of this dungeon is to obtain experimental data. Although the system states that if any player obtains the data, it will be considered as a complete clearance for all players, but a little thought will tell you that the player who personally obtains the experimental data will definitely get the best clearance reward."

"really."

Iwanaga Kotoko nodded and said thoughtfully.

"The four of us won't argue over this. As long as there's a chance, it doesn't matter who takes it. But we can't just give such a reward to other players, and they can't give it to us either... Although the system doesn't mandate PVP, to get the best rewards, there's a very real possibility... no, there's definitely going to be a violent conflict between players."

"Armed conflict..."

Yuuki Asuna murmured with a complicated look in her eyes.

"First, we have to find the location of the research institute's base within 24 hours. This is the first round of the test. Once we arrive, we have to break through the institute's defenses, be wary of other players, and finally find the location where the data is stored..."

"Is the first round of the test really that simple?"

Asagiri shook her head, interrupted Yuuki Asuna's words, and said lightly.

"Given the difficulty of the second stage, I don't think the system's first round of tests, which last a full twenty-four hours, will be completely free of danger and simply give players time to act freely and investigate. There's no danger at the moment, so it's possible this is just the system's adaptation period for the players. Our next step... well, let me think..."

Having said that, Asagiri paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Let's find an internet cafe first."

"Huh? Internet cafe?"

"Yes, Internet cafe."

Asagiri nodded and said seriously, looking at the three slightly puzzled women.

“Don’t underestimate the power of the Internet.”

"The problem is..."

Kato Megumi asked cautiously.

"Going to the internet cafe requires money, right? We can't bring any real-world items into the dungeon, and we don't have any money...eh?"

Just when Kato Megumi was halfway through her speech, she saw Asagiri take out a black leather jacket from her arms. After opening it, she found a thick stack of banknotes inside.

"Come, it's time to get your salary. Each of you will get 20,000 yen for emergencies."

Asuna Yuuki took the banknotes handed over by Asagiri and asked curiously with a smile on her face.

"Where did you get the money?"

"Take it."

"You stole it?"

"Hey, little girl, why are you talking so harshly?"

Asagiri frowned slightly and said as if it was a matter of course.

"I only took the man's wallet and didn't kill him outright. This is simply a gesture of kindness. He should be grateful. I have a pure heart."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna sighed helplessly and complained.

"No wonder you keep bringing up Water Margin jokes. You're just a bandit, right? But it doesn't matter. We do need the money, and this isn't our world. Just take it."

"Yo ho?"

Iwanaga Kotoko smiled when she heard this.

"Violet, your moral standards have become more and more flexible. You're no longer as rigid and boring as when we first met."

"hehe."

Asuna Yuuki rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

"That was infected by you and Leader."

...........

After putting away their weapons and equipment, the four members of the team returned to the street and searched as they walked to see if there were any internet cafes or other places nearby.

"this..."

Kato Megumi pursed her lips and asked cautiously.

"Is it my imagination? Someone has been looking at us since the beginning."

"No, it's not your imagination."

Asuna Yuuki shook her head, glanced at Asagiri and Kotoko Iwanaga beside her, and sighed helplessly.

"With these two guys here, it's hard for us to go unnoticed..."

Just as Asuna Yuuki said, even without wearing masks, Asagiri and Kotoko Iwanaga would still attract the attention of people around them when they walked on the street.

There is no other reason, it's simply because the appearance of these two people is too eye-catching.

In addition to her cute appearance, Kotoko Iwanaga also has the temperament of a lady from a noble family in her every move and gesture, and her gorgeous dress adds to her beauty.

And Asagiri...

It's simply because of his outstanding appearance.

Yuuki Asuna moved closer to Asagiri and spoke with a smile.

"Why don't you put on your mask? You're more conspicuous without it than with it. I never expected that."

Asagiri replied with a smile.

"You have made an indelible contribution to our ability to attract so much attention."

"Eh? Me?"

Seeing Yuuki Asuna's puzzled expression, Asagiri shook her head and said softly.

"You don't seem to have a clear understanding of how cute you are. Although Necro and I have a strong presence, a tall and beautiful girl like you walking on the street will certainly attract a lot of attention. You don't think you are ordinary-looking, do you?"

When Asuna Yuuki heard Asagiri say that she was very cute, her pretty face turned slightly red. She turned her face to the side, tucked her flaxen long hair, and whispered.

"I... I know I'm pretty good looking..."

"Oh, so you were pretending not to know on purpose because you wanted to hear me praise you. Oh, I really fell into your trap."

"Go, go, what is it?"

Yuuki Asuna pushed Asagiri's shoulder lightly in shame and anger, and said with a red face.

"Do you think I'm you? I'm not that narcissistic."

Looking at the backs of Asagiri, Yuuki Asuna, and Iwanaga Kotoko in front of her, and noticing the curious glances that the people around her kept casting at the three of them, Kato Megumi followed behind silently like an invisible man. After a while, she came closer, pointed at a sign on the street, and spoke softly.

"Leader, there's an internet cafe here."

"Okay, let's go then."

After taking the elevator to the third floor, Asagiri led Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi to the front desk of the Internet cafe.

"Is this the internet cafe..."

As soon as they entered the door, Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi, and Iwanaga Kotoko all looked around curiously. After all, they had never been to an Internet cafe before, and this was their first time.

There was no large hall or any other seating area in the Internet cafe. Instead, there were independent private rooms separated by wooden boards that extended inwards. There were also signs on the walls saying "No Smoking" and "Please Don't Make Loud Noises".

"Welcome, three...eh? Junior high school students?"

When the waitress at the Internet cafe's front desk saw Iwanaga Kotoko, the smile on her face froze for a moment, and she looked at Asagiri and smiled awkwardly.

"Um... sir, if you are not accompanied by a parent... we do not allow junior high school students to enter here."

“I am the parent.”

Asagiri reached out and stroked the top of Iwanaga Kotoko's head, saying without hesitation.

“This is my niece.”

Kotoko Iwanaga bit her teeth lightly, her fair face puffed up like a hot steamed dumpling, but after a few seconds, she nodded weakly like a deflated ball.

"Yes, I'm his niece, and this is my uncle."

Kotoko Iwanaga thought that if she had known this would happen, she should have let Kato Megumi use the Shadow Dancer's skills to sneak into the Internet cafe directly, and wait for Asagiri to open a private room at the front desk before slipping in. In this way, she would not have suffered such humiliation.

The humiliation was one thing, but the key point was that when she entered the dungeon, she couldn't even bring her ID card with her, and she couldn't prove that she was actually a high school student.

In desperation, I had to give Asagiri a new generation.

"that..."
