In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

No, now is not the time to think about that... Let's look at the details captured by the drone first...

Kawasaki Saki then seemed to wake from a dream, took out her phone, opened the app, and viewed the fairy's perspective.

Blood and gore, life or death unknown.

If their fate is unknown, then they are dead.

Just in case, Kawasaki Saki took a deep breath, aimed at the lump of rotten flesh, and emptied all the bullets from her magazine.

As the smoke from the gun muzzle dissipated, the object on the ground was no longer recognizable, and Kawasaki Saki finally relaxed a little.

"This is... the guy the officer mentioned before...?"

Saki Kawasaki was somewhat surprised and uncertain; her intuition suggested that the other person and the patrol officer's warning were not the same thing.

She huddled behind the counter, not daring to move an inch.

......

"Little guy, do you have your own consciousness?"

Chen Yi gently tapped the motorcycle's armor cover, and the motorcycle emitted a series of roaring engine sounds.

If it had its own consciousness, it would feel a bit like a puppy.

As Chen Yi watched the motorcycle tremble slightly, he had a strange sense of déjà vu, like the sound a puppy makes when it's on standby.

“Commander…it does have a puppy-like personality,” Kroos replied, sitting on the motorcycle, adjusting her hat and hair.

For Chen Yi, the night was safer than he had expected.

"Has anything happened with Saki Kawasaki?"

After resting for a while, Chen Yi finally remembered the purpose of his trip out tonight.

"...A patrol officer provided information that there was a suspected large object near the supermarket," Kluka replied after reviewing the records.

"Big guy? What big guy?" Chen Yi got on the motorcycle, released the gas, turned the motorcycle around, and started running back.

"I don't know. The old-style fairies had too few reconnaissance methods. There's a fairy searching around the supermarket right now. Hopefully, it won't be discovered by the birdmen," Kroos replied.

"At this speed, we can get back in less than half a minute." Chen Yi glanced at the dashboard.

......

"May I come in?"

It's like a child's voice, with a childlike innocence that makes it hard to tell if it's a male or female voice.

—If we ignore its volume.

Saki Kawasaki turned pale and huddled behind the counter.

"Haha, hehe..."

The mannequins outside the supermarket emitted a silvery laugh.

"May I come in?" it asked again.

Saki Kawasaki huddled under the cashier, too afraid to show her face.

She shakily pulled out her phone and switched to the drone's view.

...The fake man wasn't at the main entrance, nor in the supermarket.

It is indeed outside the supermarket, but where is it?

Faintly, Saki Kawasaki heard a rumbling sound.

"..."

The huge, mysterious lump of flesh in their field of vision was extremely glaring. It was wandering around near the main entrance, moving its rather bloated body and pitifully small forelimbs.

"Hehehe..."

It would occasionally let out baby-like laughter, making the scene so eerie it could easily turn into a horror movie set.

"What a big head..." Chen Yi stopped the car, pulled out his rifle from the side beam, turned on the laser sight, and fired two quick shots.

5.56 NATO was shot into that big lump of flesh, but there was no reaction.

"?" Chen Yi refused to believe it and aimed again.

"Commander, the enemy's armor is probably too thick, and ordinary bullets don't penetrate enough, or perhaps their size is too deceptive, and they didn't hit any vital organs," Kroos analyzed.

“Okay.” Chen Yi handed over the gun, and Kelukai took it. Instantly, an acid-corrosion rifle appeared in Chen Yi’s hand.

"Oh!"

A grenade flew out in a parabolic trajectory and hit it precisely on its head.

The baby's head exploded instantly, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Instead of collapsing with its own weight, it slowly collapsed from the middle like a gel-like substance.

How disgusting! My left eye can see so clearly, it's even more disgusting.

Chen Yi couldn't help but look away.

"Commander, we've found out."

"Kluka said."

"This pseudo-human variant is called a scavenger; it is only attracted to the scent of a large number of its own pseudo-human counterparts..."

"and many more."

"Carrion eaters, and then attracted by the aura of a large number of pseudo-humans?" Chen Yi repeated Kroos's words, his gaze falling on the carrion eater whose head had been blown open.

"Isn't this a supermarket?" He looked up again at the supermarket's neon lights, which were particularly glaring in the night.

......

With the roar of an engine and a few gunshots, the laughter outside abruptly stopped.

"......?" Kawasaki Saki was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to crawl out from behind the counter to find out what was going on.

Wait, a drone...

She peeked out halfway and then pulled back, using the drone's view to try and see what was happening outside.

As soon as I connected to the drone's view, I saw a guy wearing an exoskeleton push open the glass door and walk in.

It's carrying a gun, so it must be human.

So she diligently crawled out from behind the counter.

Kroos, adjust the data that Kawasaki collected with the drone earlier.

Chen Yi thought to himself, while observing Kawasaki Saki's current state.

A fake human corpse lay at the entrance, its torso riddled with bullet holes, as if it had been shot dead after being knocked down.

The clothes were neatly arranged, the hands were hidden under the counter in a blind spot where customers couldn't see them, and even when facing humans, their vigilance remained undiminished...

It seems that it can be considered qualified.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

Kawasaki Saki watched the mysterious man in the exoskeleton stand in front of the cashier for a while, then asked him a question, while secretly releasing the safety on her submachine gun just in case.

"It's nothing, I can go buy it myself... Where's the drinks section?"

Chen Yi's voice came through the improved filter mask, sounding so distorted that even acquaintances couldn't recognize it at all.

Buying alcohol late at night? What a strange guy.

Kawasaki Saki felt the other person looked familiar, but suppressed the thought and pointed in a direction.

"That direction, sir."

"Commander, drinking alcohol is harmful to your health, perhaps..."

"Don't worry, I won't buy any alcohol."

If Chen Yi keeps a bottle of wine and a Kroos in his house, he probably doesn't want to live anymore.

"Commander, I mean, can I have a drink?"

"Kroos, have you forgotten how much noise you make when you drink?"

“Commander…” Kluge’s voice was tinged with regret.

Chen Yi's gaze lingered on the row of drinks for a moment, then he approached the shelf, pretending to carefully select something, while secretly glancing at the door next to the refrigerated drinks counter out of the corner of his eye.

The warehouse door is right here, and this is where the most surveillance cameras are located.

"It seems there really are some shady things in the warehouse..."

Chen Yi squatted down, pretending to select canned beer.

Just as he reached out, a small dark shadow slid down his sleeve and disappeared under the shelf.

"Klukka, is the surveillance footage splicing complete?"

Chen Yi glanced at the mechanical mouse, which quickly slipped through the crack in the door and into the warehouse.

"The surveillance footage has been stitched together, and neither Kawasaki nor any of the other monitors behind the cameras can see it," Kroos said, her words radiating confidence.

"Okay, let's go out first."

......

"An instant noodle, a can of coffee... Do you have any hot water?"

When paying, Chen Yi casually asked a question.

“I’m sorry, not at the moment, sir,” Kawasaki Saki said.

"Alright then, goodbye."

Chen Yi paid the bill and left, returning to his motorcycle and placing the wine and instant noodles in the space under the beam.

"Did the mechanical mouse find anything?"

"Not yet. The warehouse area in this supermarket is different from others; its structure is a bit complicated..."

Chen Yi asked casually, his gaze occasionally lingering on the large patch of fat and bits of meat.

Scavengers... Judging from their names and habits, it's not difficult to deduce what's hidden in the supermarket.

The problem is that such speculation is itself unbelievable.

"Klukka, are there cases of smuggling fake human corpses?"

"If it's a third-world country... then it certainly exists."

From a legal perspective, that's correct.

As for what's illegal... well, that's a matter of opinion.

So, humans are truly insane.

Chen Yi couldn't help but miss his supermarket manager, whom he had never met. He was actually just smuggling high-end liquor, and he was so kind.

Chen Yi pulled his phone out of his pocket and switched to the mechanical mouse's perspective.

"Commander, the main interior space of the warehouse has been drawn up," Kroos reminded him.

The intricate corridor map was drawn using images transmitted back by the mechanical mouse.

All the room doors were closed, and there were no security cameras in the hallway, presumably to prevent evidence from being left in case of investigation.

"Search each room one by one."

Chen Yi put his phone away, then leaned against the motorcycle with his rifle in hand, keeping watch over his surroundings.

......

The engine did not sound.

Kawasaki Saki realized something and quickly looked at the surveillance footage.
