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

Lorelei pulled out the DSR-50 and looked down into the corridor on either side.

"Who sent you?!"

Chen Yi nudged the man with his knee, but the man didn't react at all, not even instinctively flinching in pain.

"..."

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out in the corridor, but Lorelei blocked them with her suitcase.

Following Chen Yi's orders, Lorelei pulled out the flying needles strapped to her thigh and threw them, piercing both of the gunman's knees.

The gunman fell to the ground, and after about half a second, the others in the corridor seemed to wake up from their daze, and screams rang out.

"What's going on?!"

Dr. Maruki looked at the restrained man and the gunman crawling towards them in the distance, his expression no longer calm as before.

"They're not normal at all!"

Chen Yi realized that he was probably being targeted by some spies again.

Controlling humans... This method is simply unheard of.

"Get cover first! Kroos, that guy's useless!"

Upon hearing this, Kroos quickly moved her hands a few times and dislocated the man's arms and calves.

It was a non-fatal knockout, just dislocated limbs. He can be saved after the incident, which saves Chen Yi from any public pressure.

The hospital alarm went off, and Dr. Maruki barely reacted before pushing Chen Yi back into the treatment room.

“Hide here! There are still three!” Dr. Maru pulled Chen Yi behind the equipment, looked up, walked to the computer desk, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, and found a pistol, two empty magazines, and a box of bullets.

How did you know there were three more?

"They are SWAT officers! They're wounded veterans from the zoo case!"

Dr. Maruki tried to explain while pressing the bullet, but his hands kept shaking and he kept dropping the bullet.

"Depend on!"

The zoo? That was so long ago!

Chen Yizhen never expected that the waters inside were so deep, and that they had even come after him.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out in the narrow room, hitting the wall behind Chen Yi.

"Stun grenade!"

Klukka pulled the shock bomb off her clothes, unfastened the pin, and threw it towards the enemy.

"Oh!"

A loud noise rang out in the treatment room filled with medical equipment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yi and Luo Leilai simultaneously leaned out and knocked down the third attacker who was rushing over with a rifle.

The sound of the safety pin being pulled rang out, and Chen Yi's expression changed. He pushed Dr. Maruki, who was trying to peek out, back down.

The grenade exploded.

Thanks to the fact that their hiding place happened to be a rather large... rather expensive machine, it blocked almost all the shrapnel.

Fortunately, the grenade didn't have a large explosive charge, otherwise even hiding behind a car wouldn't have helped.

After the explosion, there was a long silence. The treatment room was a mess, and the smoke from the explosion lingered.

"What about the rest? Did they get blown up by their teammates?" Chen Yi asked Kroos. The agile figure of the other woman moved between the cover and was in front of Chen Yi in less than a second.

"No other attackers have been found so far, but the three attackers in front of us have been confirmed dead."

They were all fried into a paste.

Lorelei glanced at the horrific scene outside the bunker and returned to give a brief reply.

"I see."

The smell in the air was somewhat nauseating, but now was not the time to think about that, so Chen Yi forced himself to calm down.

"Did you call the police?" Dr. Maruki suddenly asked out of the blue.

"With this noise, someone outside will call the police... You've never experienced anything like this before."

Chen Yi pointed to the gun he was holding.

"I didn't even get insurance, don't tell me it's because I'm too nervous."

"Huh?...Oh." Dr. Maruki calmed down and carefully examined the gun in his hand.

It seems the insurance wasn't issued.

"..."

“There are footsteps,” Kroos suddenly reminded her.

Chen Yi's mind had just relaxed a little when it suddenly tensed up again.

After removing the USP and replacing it with an acid-corrosion rifle, Chen Yi switched the fire selector to burst fire, intending to seize any opportunity to pull out and take down the opponent.

"Krooice, Lorelei, you two decide what to do later, but at least keep one of them alive to get information."

There's nothing we can do; as long as none of them are dead, it doesn't really involve any problems. He's just a passerby and a victim.

But now that he knows the other party's target is most likely himself, and that there are explosives like grenades... sorry, he can only prioritize ensuring his own safety.

However, I shouldn't have no chance of winning a lawsuit, since I acted in self-defense.

"coming."

Kruka timed it perfectly and launched another stunning grenade.

"boom!"

Before Chen Yi could fire, Lorelei shot the man in the thigh, tearing his lower body apart.

It was a very clever technique. Because Lorelei is a burning type, the burn actually stopped the bleeding, making it easier for her to survive.

Without hesitation, Chen Yi, fueled by adrenaline and instinct, knocked down the last person.

"With the limbs removed, we are safe."

Chen Yi looked at the two people on the ground, barely alive, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now... everything should be fine, right?

The alarm is still going off; it's estimated that the ATSS won't be able to get here anytime soon.

Chen Yi looked into their eyes; there was no fear, no determination, nothing at all.

"The wounded who were brought back from the front lines during the zoo security incident...?"

......

"Saplings, the police are on duty."

Ishizaki passed by Naegi's office and found him still engrossed in studying the 'Tourist Rules'.

"Huh? The Metropolitan Police Department is short-staffed again?"

The saplings suddenly stretched their heads, breaking free from the logical loopholes in the rules.

"No, it's just that this problem is quite serious, and we need someone of your rank to handle things."

As he walked, Ishizaki explained quickly, then swiftly donned his protective gear and picked up his rifle in the weapons room.

"What on earth happened?"

Miao Mu put on a heavy bulletproof vest and took out a rifle from the cabinet.

"Chiba Municipal Hospital, terrorist attack, involving explosion, number of casualties unknown."

"asshole......"

Miao Mu frowned.

These hypocrites have already caused social unrest and widespread fear, and yet there are still these lunatics operating in society...

Alas, there's nothing that can be done about it. Japan's current situation is entirely of its own making, not because it relinquished military power, but because of its administrative system, which is rotten to the core.

A few law enforcement officers alone cannot save the entire country.

"Let's go."

Even if they were reluctant, they had no choice but to put the zoo matter aside for now.

Terrorist attack...wait, aren't the members of Echo Squad inside the municipal hospital?

P.S.: I got stood up, meow QwQ

Revisiting Izu: Chapter 254 (Finale)

"Commander, smoking is bad."

Kroos reminded her from the side, just like last time.

"...I feel like they're using this as an opportunity to criticize me."

Dr. Maruki put the cigarette back in the cigarette case, intending to return it to an unknown doctor on his desk.

Uh, this pack of cigarettes seems to be unclaimed now. That unknown doctor probably won't bother going back to claim it...

"It's alright, Dr. Maruki, go ahead and smoke. It's the first time I've encountered something like this, and the mental stress is definitely considerable."

Chen Yi waved his hand.

Anyway, the smell of cigarettes won't be more pungent than the smell of gunpowder. I've already inhaled the smell of gunpowder, so what's a little more?

"...Never mind, I won't smoke then. I'm not used to smoking."

Maru casually tossed the cigarette case back onto the table.

Oh, by the way, the table is all over the place. One corner was destroyed by the shockwave of the explosion, and now it's a bit shaky.

"It's not that I think their miserable condition is anything special, and since I didn't participate in the fight back at all, I can still find some comfort in myself... It's just that these patients are people I know... patients I've taken care of, seeing them like this still makes me feel a bit... sad or regretful? That's probably the feeling."

Maruki's eyes didn't show much sadness, but when Chen Yi looked into them, he only saw regret and sighs.

"Maybe I was already somewhat prepared? After all, their so-called normal behavior after they regained consciousness... well, I probably anticipated it."

I just never expected it to turn out this way.

"Let's go out first. It's not good to stay in this confined space. The smell of gunpowder is still too pungent."

Chen Yi reached out his hand to Maruki Takuto, who was leaning against the wall.

"The door frame was hit by the explosion at close range; it's all deformed."

Only after Maruki Takuto had completely crawled out of the bunker did he have time to take in the horrific scene inside the treatment room.

"It wasn't just the door frame; the entire wall facing the corridor was completely shattered."

Chen Yi reached out and tried to break it, and a whole piece of glass fell to the ground, almost hitting his own foot.

"There isn't a single good piece of glass left."

Dr. Maruki lightened the mood.

Stepping out of the treatment room, the mess in the corridor came into view. Fortunately, the attack by the five people did not injure anyone else.

"It seems the target is very clear: you..."

"But why?" they both asked in unison.

“I didn’t know them at first. The only thing that was related to me was the zoo incident, because I was the one who reported it.”

"Are you the one who reported the crime?" Dr. Maruki discovered something extraordinary.

"So you were the one who discovered it. So what exactly happened at that zoo?" The two strolled leisurely down the corridor as if having a casual conversation.

"Well, from my perspective, I just happened to discover cognitive interference in the zoo, and then I reported it to the police when I left. I also found the fake mannequin, that's all."

Chen Yi gave a brief answer.

Is there any connection between these two?
