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

"Maybe it's not true."

Chen Yi offered a word of comfort.

......

It's true, it's an urban legend...

After a moment of panic, Yotsuya Miko calmed down and gripped her AR-15 tightly.

"Yuhihama-san, please be extra careful from now on."

Yotsuya Miko sternly warned her.

There seems to be some movement outside the window...

Yuihama pointed to the constantly vibrating glass panel.

Like Yotsuya Miko's house, hers is a detached house, which means that if something tries to come in through the window at night, the tempered glass may not be able to stop it.

In Japan, detached houses are the kind of houses that only the poorest people can afford, and they are inherently risky.

Due to policy factors, a single detached house in a neighborhood can only establish an owners' committee to hire security guards. These security guards usually take into account the cost-sharing factor and are often some second-rate security companies. It is hard to say whether the employees will be the first to run away if something really happens.

"Um, let's go upstairs, it probably can't reach it..."

Yuihama didn't dare to go to the window to look.

Did you lock the door, the balcony door, or anything like that?

Yotsuya Miko asked.

"Locked, locked..." Yui Hama recalled for a moment, the habit etched into her bones would not change.

"Where did those footsteps outside the door come from...?" Yotsuya Miko frowned.

......

"This should be considered sensory intervention."

Hearing footsteps outside the open door, Chen Yi produced an acid-etching rifle.

The sound was crisp and clear, and it sounded like high heels.

The only two people in the family who wear high heels, one fell asleep two hours ago, and the other is sitting next to him.

Is this fake person really not very smart? I didn't even close the door, who are you trying to scare?

For some reason, seeing footsteps echoing outside the door when no one was passing by, Chen Yi felt like laughing.

I felt like I was being mocked.

"One-way sensory intervention?"

Lorelei asked, but she heard nothing. She went outside and walked around, but didn't see anything wandering around the office.

"The doors and windows were checked and closed tightly before going to bed, so it would be difficult for the fake man to sneak in silently."

Chen Yi explained.

"Commander, there's movement at the window!" Kluge held up Scylla and gestured for Chen Yi to turn around.

The moment the window shook, Kroos noticed it keenly.

Chen Yi turned around and saw a large face outside the window, with bulging eyes and a mouth that stretched to the ears.

......

Yuihama instinctively wanted to scream, but she forced herself to hold it back.

"Th-th-that..."

This fake human has dry, withered hair and an umbrella-shaped structure above its forehead, with holes and eyes all over its surface.

Judging from its shape, it looks a bit like... a woman wearing a hat.

Of course, this is the second floor, and it's impossible for a normal person to stand 'just right' at the window and look inside.

“po, po…”

The fake man made strange noises.

"Yes, yes..."

Yuihama, who usually enjoys discussing all sorts of topics, has some recollection of this kind of ghost story; I think it's called something like...

Stop daydreaming and move away from the window!

Yotsuya Miko raised her gun, aimed it at the fake man's head, and fired a shot that echoed loudly throughout the room.

......

"Eight-foot-tall sir...?"

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, recalling some strange tales he had read in his previous life.

Habits may differ, so this isn't a reliable reference.

"Excuse me, is this Chen Yi's house?"

"The eight-foot-tall man" asked slowly, his voice somewhat muffled.

Did you leave your vocal cords at home?

"Excuse me, is this Chen Yi's house?"

"The eight-foot-tall man" asked again.

“Commander, some fake human figures have been mistakenly turned into supernatural tales by the public, including this eight-foot-tall man. In fact, it is indeed a fake human figure.”

"I'm not blind."

Chen Yi raised his hand and fired a shot at the "Eight-Foot Man". A bullet hole instantly appeared in the window, and black blood began to gush out from the Eight-Foot Man's body.

"..."

"Excuse me, is this the Chen... family home?" The 'Eight-Foot Man's' words began to become intermittent.

Under the light, it was clear that the wound where the 5.56 bullet hit was not only oozing black blood, but also had purple substance spreading outwards as if it were going crazy.

Clothes began to dissolve, skin began to ulcerate...

With Chen Yi's full effort, he soon saw the heart of the 'Eight-Foot Man', and the man swayed and disappeared out the window.

"..."

There was no sound of it hitting the ground.

"Any other precautions?"

Chen Yi turned around and glanced at Kroos.

Sensory interference and indestructible videotapes... is this all the quality they've achieved?

Chen Yi instinctively felt that the 'eight-foot-tall man' should be more than that.

......

"It seems a bit fragile."

Yotsuya Miko blinked, glanced at the bullet hole in the window, and cautiously approached the window to look into the yard.

There was nothing there; the eight-foot-tall man vanished as if he had never existed.

"Yuigahama-san, where's your suture glue? Fix the window." Miko Yotsuya calmly instructed Yui Yuigahama while keeping a close eye on the yard downstairs and the street beyond.

At this hour, there shouldn't be anyone on the street, but there are still a few scattered figures wandering around.

Yotsuya Miko resisted the urge to open the window and fire a few more shots at the fakes, constantly reminding herself not to cause any trouble, lest she attract even more difficult opponents.

“Found it…” Yuihama quickly returned and handed the spray gel to Yotsuya Miko.

Yotsuya Miko took it, sprayed it around the bullet hole, watched it solidify quickly, touched it to confirm it was firm, then put the cap back on and put the spray away.

The window needs to be replaced when the time is right, but not now. We just need to keep this window windproof.

"Shall we take turns keeping watch from now on?"

It was proposed by Hibin.

"Okay, I'll rest now. Just wake me up if there's any danger."

Yotsuya Miko positioned the gun in an easily accessible spot and then lay down on the bed.

P.S.: A little earlier today, meow (peacefully).

Revisiting Izu: Chapter 250 Suspicious Points

Chapter 250

"Mr. Chen, we encountered Lord Ba Chi tonight. How are things going on your end?"

When the vigil ended and everything quieted down, Yui-bin remembered that Chen Yi seemed to have received the exact same cassette tape as well.

Please, you must reply...

Chen Jun lives alone at home. What if something happens to him...?

No reply.

"They must be asleep..."

Yuihama was filled with anxiety as she made her guesses.

She hoped the other person was just asleep, rather than having encountered some accident.

As for Chen Yi on the other side...

"Could spirits really exist?"

Chen Yi leaned out of the window but did not see the body of the eight-foot-tall man who had fallen.

"Lorelei..."

Before Chen Yi could finish speaking, Lorelei came over with a flashlight and shone it through the glass onto the windowsill.

"No bloodstains."

Given the amount of blood that thing bled, it was impossible for it not to splatter onto the windowsill.

"So the only possibility is that everything just now was an illusion...?"

The clues didn't connect, which was really strange. Chen Yi paced around the room, his gaze inadvertently falling on the videotape next to the computer screen.

"Commander, the risk of trying is too great."

Klukka advised.

"That's true... but it seems there are no other clues now." Chen Yi picked up the videotape and pondered how it worked.

"...I feel like I don't have enough time to directly set up a simple video recorder?"

Ghost stories like Sadako are out of touch with the times. Nowadays, normal households may not even have DVDs, yet they still keep VCRs... Why not just use USB drives instead? They could spread the word much wider.

"Let's leave it for now. It'll probably come back tonight, so I'm not going to sleep."

Chen Yi saved the motherboard programming of Otrus, turned off the computer, picked up the videotape, sat on the sofa in the room, and lay down on his side.

"Commander, Kroka and I will help with the night watch, so you can sleep soundly."

Lorelei said.

"..."

Chen Yi thought for a while, and then Lorelei had already posted it.

"Do you want a lap pillow? Oh well, Commander~"

No, I haven't agreed to anything yet!

How's this angle?

"..."

Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep.

......
