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

Chen Yi shrugged.

......

Smuggled ice, mysterious green crates, and fake human corpses—each of these alone might not warrant such a huge fuss, but the fact that they all came together, especially in a big city like Chiba, means that if something really goes wrong, from prefectural councilors to government officials, no one will escape; they'll all have to commit seppuku.

Within five minutes, Chen Yi saw several armed helicopters flying in this direction with searchlights on, which were particularly dazzling in the gloomy night sky.

SWAT armored vehicles sped from the end of the road, bringing two squads to a stop in an instant, and quickly took control of the supermarket's main entrance.

"Are you the people who reported the crime?" the driver asked, rolling down his window.

"Do you know the specific details inside?"

Chen Yi handed over his phone, which contained the mechanical mouse's real-time recordings.

"This is?"

"I was working on a gadget myself. When I was picking out items in the beverage section, I smelled a strange odor. It didn't seem to be coming from the fake corpse at the entrance. After lingering for a while, I determined that the smell was coming from the warehouse."

"Confirmed, intelligence is accurate." The advance SWAT team reported over the walkie-talkie, then glanced at Chen Yi.

"If no medical intervention is needed, then go back."

Chen Yi gently patted Kawasaki Saki on the shoulder. She then realized what was happening, quickly got into the car, and Chen Yi drove away.

"Team leader, shouldn't we take the civilians back for questioning?"

"The observer in the co-pilot asked."

"No need to bring him. He's wearing standard Yinglong armor, so he's probably from Dongda University. Besides, there's a fake person inside that we need to deal with, so the priorities are different."

The SWAT team leader glanced at the motorcycle's taillights.

Besides, that motorcycle is so conspicuous that even if they wanted to catch it, the other party wouldn't be able to hide anywhere.

P.S.: I'd like to recommend a friend's new book, *Gloria and the High School Shooting Club*.

If you're interested, you can support Nya.

Oh, right, I have something sad to tell you.

I got stood up while trying to play Kachu QwQ

Grade 11: Chapter 184 Consequences and Costs

"Last night, the accident..."

Early in the morning, Yukinoshita searched for relevant information on social media platforms.

Fortunately, no cases of spoof attacks related to supermarkets were found. However, one block was cordoned off due to an attack, but the specifics are unknown.

In other words, Kawasaki should still be safe.

Then we can follow Kawasaki-kun today...

wrong.

If Kawasaki survives the first night, does that prove that Kawasaki is capable of handling danger and that there's no need for further interference?

Then, under the snow, she had a second thought.

But doing this kind of work for a long time will inevitably lead to an accident sooner or later...

"What should I do...?"

What will Chen Yi do at this moment?

She couldn't help but start thinking.

......

Chen Yi was in the orange at this time.

"that......"

Chen Yi stopped an ATSS officer and asked him a question.

"I'm here to complete the statement I made last night."

The officer glanced up at him, then dismissed him without a second thought.

"Statement? Go to the front desk and ask them about your report from last night." The officer said halfway through his sentence before hurriedly leaving the police station, his gun still on his person.

Chen Yi scratched his head and walked to the front desk.

"Please fill in your name and identity here." The policewoman at the front desk looked up at him, and Chen Yi could see the weariness in her eyes.

Chen Yi took the form and quickly filled it out.

"Are you the person who reported the incident at that supermarket?"

When the other party took it, they were taken aback when they saw the information on it and subconsciously asked to confirm it.

Immediately, most of the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department lobby looked over, and Chen Yi felt extremely uneasy.

"Is there a problem?"

"It's alright. Reporting a case of this level in a timely manner is commendable. If there's no further information, you can go back now."

"Uh, do we not need to take a statement or anything like that?"

"The ATSS is basically unable to spare any officers to take statements right now; they're either out maintaining order or on duty... How about I notify the investigators in the task force so we can take a brief, informal statement? So I'm sorry, sir, please leave your contact information here, and we'll contact you later for a formal statement."

The police officer at the front desk said apologetically.

This looks serious. Is there no corresponding clerical staff to oversee things?

Chen Yi made notes on the paper, glanced at the investigator who was running over, and dictated some of the information at the time while listening to the investigator's questions, so that the investigator could file the information and conduct subsequent investigations.

"Thank you, sir, for your contribution to maintaining society." With his recording pen in hand, the investigator hurried back upstairs to finish his work.

Chen Yi turned and left the Metropolitan Police Department. He figured he could still make it back to class in time for the day.

He opened his phone and quickly searched using keywords.

Street blockade, large-scale...

There is no specific information; it has been blocked.

Chen Yi's brow twitched violently.

"Speaking of which, Kroos, there was a carrion eater ravenously in the warehouse before, right?"

What happens after the carrion eats its fill?

"..."

Kroos remained silent for a moment.

"...Carrion eaters often appear in Third World countries because the trafficking of fake human corpses is most rampant in Third World countries, and improper storage often attracts carrion eaters."

"And if the scavengers are full..."

......

"Command center, Alpha Squad, Beta Squad, and Delta Squad are in position and ready to storm in at any time."

"Try to control the situation. Titan PMC and Ironblood will arrive later."

Rewinding to last night, after Chen Yi left, the infiltrating formation quickly unfolded, aiming at the supermarket like a sharp knife.

"Team leader, that guy at the door..." The squad leader of Alpha Squad glanced at the Carrion Clan on the ground, which had almost turned into a puddle of liquid, and asked with a solemn expression.

"A scavenger, the one inside is probably one too, we don't have time to hesitate."

The team leader gave the order to enter.

"...Deli area clear." "Beverage area clear, one door closed." "Near the door to the cashier, there is a fake human corpse that looks like it was killed by the person who reported the crime earlier."

"Inspect the doors in the warehouse area."

The team leader went to the cashier alone and operated the monitoring computer for a while.

"Team leader, the door is locked."

"Line up and stand by."

The team leader searched for a while and found that there was no surveillance footage of the warehouse at the cashier.

"Command center, we're preparing to storm the warehouse area," the team leader quickly reported, then gave the order to breach the door over the radio.

"Contact the enemy!"

"Ho ho... Roar!"

Before they could break down the door, it was suddenly smashed open by a deformed figure in the mist.

......

"So, scavengers can turn dead, pseudo-human corpses back into life?"

On his way to school, Chen Yi listened to Kroos's intelligence briefing.

"Theoretically speaking, it cannot be considered alive; it is merely a living corpse formed by the scavenger using its own tissues and the substances it has consumed."

There are even fake people in a living dead state. Can't this world ever get any better?

"What about the supermarket issue from last night?"

Chen Yi immediately pressed for an answer.

"News reporters are not allowed into the blocked-off area, and residents living nearby have been strictly prohibited from posting online," Kroos casually mentioned, then immediately continued.

"However, we still have a lot of specific information. For example, the SWAT team that rushed in suffered heavy losses, and then Titan PMC and Ironblood were also on the scene to participate in the encirclement and suppression. They controlled the scene before dawn and are now probably sealing it off and dealing with the follow-up."

The intelligence is quite comprehensive.

"A variant of a pseudo-human capable of resurrecting pseudo-human corpses..."

Chen Yi frowned.

He increasingly felt that the people in this world who had lived to this point possessed a mental state that was somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

He remained unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before him; that's incredibly powerful.

......

When Chen Yi arrived at the school, the first class had already ended, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly slipped in.

"Boy."

Unfortunately, I got caught red-handed.

He forgot that the first period on Tuesday was Chinese class.

"How about we explain?" Hiratsuka Shizuka patted his shoulder.

Chen Yi looked around and noticed that Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio were both keeping their heads down, seemingly understanding each other perfectly.

Ah, it's so much better with girls. If it were a guy, he'd be trying not to laugh at this point.

"Okay." Chen Yi put down his guitar bag.

"...You went to give a statement?"

Inside the office, Hiratsuka Shizuka held a coffee cup, her gaze not on Chen Yi, but casually scrolling through her phone.

"Yes, something happened last night, and I'm the one who reported it."

"...Did you block off that neighborhood?"

"Don't make it sound like I'm the culprit."

"Oh... so it really was you who did it, right?"

"Um, I went out to buy alcohol in the middle of the night... no, I went out to help out my female classmate."

"!?"

"What I mean is, the Service Department's request..."

"Oh... no, that's not right."

Hiratsuka Shizuka is overwhelmed with information.

Why are nighttime, buying alcohol, a service club request, and a female classmate meeting all connected at the same time?
