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

"Kroos, what's inside?"

Chen Yi didn't look. He shut off his senses with plugs and a blindfold, and sat close to Lorelei on a cramped stool.

"......commander......"

"Isn't it something like a well, Chu Renmei, or Kayako?"

Chen Yi raised his hand to remove the blindfold, but Luo Leilai stopped him.

"Just bear with it, what if there's real danger and you get caught?"

"To put it simply... there was no music or ambient sound; the sound was just a noise with constantly changing wavelengths..."

Klukka hesitated as she spoke.

"The image looks like a biblical story? Let me check..."

What does this have to do with the Bible?

Chen Yi lifted the blindfold, and what came into view was a huge, ugly face on the small television screen, exactly like the thing he had encountered last night.

bad thing.

Chen Yi regretted it for a moment, blinked, and the scene suddenly changed to a colorful display, as if it were a frequency jump.

"?"

Wasn't that an eight-foot-tall man I just saw? How did it suddenly turn into the Bible?

"Commander, could the Bible stories be the real content of this videotape? Because your left eye has a special ability."

Lorelei guessed that, like Krochai, she had seen the Bible from the beginning.

"Judging from the content of the subtitles... this videotape seems to be about the creation of the world."

After a while, Kroos answered.

Genesis?

Chen Yi pondered.

"Could it be that the videotape itself was normal, but was parasitized or contaminated, thus becoming a medium for spreading the curse?"

"That's possible."

Kroos nodded.

The videotape finished playing in no time, probably because it wasn't long enough, stopping right at the content from the sixth day.

On the seventh day, I was detained. Perhaps this is why modern working people always lose their weekends.

Chen Yi's thoughts wandered for a short while.

"Commander, I would suggest you get checked for any related mental pollution."

Kroos offered a reminder from the side.

"...makes sense."

Although no clues were found, Chen Yi had just watched the videotape, and just in case, he decided to go check on Maruki.

P.S.: Going out to play tomorrow, meow!

Chapter 252

"Mr. Chen, you're here again." Dr. Maruki was still slurping his noodles.

For some reason, Dr. Maruki still prefers his bright red spicy chicken ramen.

"What, you came all this way at mealtime, hoping to freeload a meal?" Dr. Maruki said half-jokingly.

"Uh..." Chen Yi was a little embarrassed; it was indeed a bit of a disturbance at this hour.

"Alright, what's up? I saw you registering downstairs."

Dr. Maruki covered his face, wiped his mouth, and sat down behind his desk.

If it were anyone else, Dr. Maruki might have put on airs a bit, but he didn't need to at all with Chen Yi, since they were already so familiar with each other.

"Well, I found a videotape..."

Chen Yi briefly recounted the whole story.

"Should we say that Mr. Chen is both highly skilled and daring... knowing that the videotape was problematic, he still opened it to watch it?"

Dr. Maruki rested his chin on his hand and glanced at the computer screen a few times.

"Well, because there really is no other way. We can't just wait for Lord Bachi to come a second time."

Chen Yi explained.

"I understand. So you came here to check if you've been attacked by something like mental pollution, right?" Dr. Maruki stood up and straightened his clothes.

“Then come with me to the municipal hospital. Mental pollution requires specialized equipment and a lengthy process, which my little clinic doesn’t have.” He took a key from the drawer and turned off the computer.

"Want to ride in my car? I've brought some people with me," Chen Yi suggested.

"Oh, that works too."

Dr. Maruki didn't hesitate and put the car keys back in the drawer and locked them.

......

"Good afternoon, Yuihama-san... Eh? Yotsuya-san is here too?"

Around one o'clock, Hiratsuka Shizuka arrived as promised.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, please come in." Yuihama opened the door and invited Hiratsuka Shizuka inside.

"Yotsugu-kun's stance... could it be that thing is difficult to deal with?" Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed the spent cartridges fired by Yotsugu Miko. They looked to be small caliber, and she had only fired four or five.

"In fact, we're not even sure if we've repelled Lord Hachikami..."

Yotsuya Miko gave a brief explanation.

"In urban legends, the eight-foot-tall 'master' usually only targets men who live alone, right?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka had heard similar rumors, but she had always been skeptical.

Now it seems... that the Eight-Foot Master might be one of the pseudo-humans, but due to the lack of information and records in the past, pseudo-humans like the Eight-Foot Master were not widely known.

"Take me to see the room where you encountered the Eight-Foot Master."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Yuihama with a questioning gaze.

"Okay, teacher, feel free to look around."

“We heard footsteps at the door yesterday, but when we got up this morning, we didn’t find any doors or windows that had been damaged,” Miko Yotsuya explained, standing at the door.

"If the eight-foot-tall giant came from outside, it should have left footprints..."

However, the wooden floor of the second-floor corridor did not have any obvious muddy footprints or large particles of dust or dirt.

Yuihama pushed open the door to the room, and what came into view was a room decorated with a girlish touch, with several cute plush toys on the bed.

"...This is the window where we saw the eight-foot-tall man last night. Judging from the length of his hair, he was a woman, just as rumored. But the hat in the legend was actually an umbrella-shaped body structure with some eyes on it."

Yotsuya Miko described her physical characteristics in detail.

"...There is no blood. Please wait a moment."

Hiratsuka Shizuka hurriedly went downstairs and soon appeared in the courtyard directly below the window.

"Hiratsuka-sensei?" Yotsuya Miko asked, puzzled. Had she discovered something?

Hiratsuka Shizuka was seen holding a spray bottle, seemingly spraying something, and walked around downstairs for a while, but returned empty-handed.

"Is Hiratsuka-sensei looking for something?" Yuihama asked as she saw Hiratsuka Shizuka go back upstairs.

"Is that... luminol reagent in Professor Hiratsuka's hand?"

As she got closer, Yotsuya Miko finally saw the item in Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand and understood what had just happened.

“Hiratsuka-sensei, when we repelled it last night, it didn’t leave any blood on the windowsill, so there probably isn’t any in the yard either.”

"I know, just take a look, it wouldn't be good if we missed anything."

Anyway, we won't lose anything, so let's just consider it as eliminating one direction.

Hiratsuka Shizuka sprayed the luminol reagent onto the windowsill and corners, and as expected, she got nothing.

“The window…” Hiratsuka Shizuka casually touched the bullet holes that had been filled in on the window. The glue hadn’t completely covered the bullet holes, and some uneven bumps could still be felt by hand.

"Let's go, there are no more clues here, let's go to Yotsuya's house."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said, stopping to take another look as she passed the doorway.

The footsteps at the door... If all the other windows and doors are locked and there are no signs of damage, then the footsteps are probably fake.

Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly remembered what Chen Yi had said.

"Does the breakthrough really have to be found with Chen Yi?"

......

"There was no attack involving mental pollution or cognitive interference..."

Dr. Maruki held the report in his hand, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

Everything is normal... Why does this scene look so familiar?

"Just to be on the safe side, let me double-check. The videotape you initially saw showed the face of the Eight-Foot Man, but then it suddenly switched to Bible content?"

"Yes." Chen Yi nodded.

"Then the videotape must have malfunctioned for some unknown reason."

Dr. Maruki speculated.

"Failed?"

"Well, that should be normal. After all, it couldn't have been created with a curse on it. Something must have happened in the middle for it to become a cursed videotape. So, since it can become a cursed videotape, it can also break free from that state. After all, nothing is permanent."

Although it sounded awkward, Chen Yi still understood it.

"I understand what you mean, so the videotape and stuff might not be a big problem?"

That's roughly the idea.

"If that's the case, the trail might go cold again."

Dr. Maruki's reasoning is very similar to his; either everyone can only reach this conclusion under the existing conditions, or this is the truth.

However, Chen Yi had reservations, after all, the scene of being tricked by Boiling Pointers time and time again was still vivid in his mind.

"If there's nothing else, shall we head back now?" Chen Yi asked Dr. Maruki.

"I'll check on some patients here later. You can go back on your own; you don't need to take me back to my clinic." Dr. Maruki waved his hand and left the treatment room with Chen Yi.

"Hmm? Is it free time now?" Outside in the corridor stood a patient whom Dr. Maruki found somewhat familiar, and he raised an eyebrow.

No, shouldn't the members of Echo's team be in the hospital ward at this time...?

"Commander, be careful!"

The man in the hospital gown suddenly stabbed him.

Revisiting Izu: Chapter 253 Terrorist Attack

Chapter 253

Klukka quickly moved forward from a slightly behind position and blocked the stab.

Dr. Maruki stood there dumbfounded, completely bewildered by what had happened in the blink of an eye.

"Non-lethal, do not kill!" Chen Yi warned, a USP appearing in his hand, which he pointed at the head of the man who was being held to the ground by Kroos.

"Who sent you?" Chen Yi stared intently at the man.

We almost died...

"Commander, I'll take the lead in guarding the area!"
