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

Chen Yi asked Manager Shi.

"Dinner is no longer served at this time. We'll probably have to wait until after nine o'clock, when the first patrol team will rotate out and the canteen will provide a late-night snack to replenish their energy."

"A little after nine o'clock... that's fine too."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi decided to go to his room first.

......

The wooden bed is about 1.5 meters wide, without a mattress, just an iron frame.

It was exactly the same as Chen Yi's university dormitory in his previous life, but it was a bit better because it was a four-person room with a private toilet and bathroom, but unfortunately there was no air conditioning.

However, air conditioning is not necessary, because it is already early to mid-October, and the weather has started to cool down, with the first signs of autumn.

Of course, the temporary camp couldn't provide a soft bed with a mattress, but lying on the wooden plank bed still gave Chen Yi a different feeling.

"It feels a bit harder than lying on the sheets..."

Without the fear of mattresses, Chen Yi was surprised to find that he could lie on an object called a 'bed' again. He had thought he would say goodbye to beds for the rest of his life.

The gaps between the wooden planks let in drafts, making it feel like something is breathing behind you.

"..."

So this isn't something we haven't overcome yet.

Chen Yi turned his body to the side and leaned in a little so that his back could touch the wall.

There are no computers in the camp, so even if we wanted to work, we couldn't. Are we supposed to rely on paper and pen? Draw design plans by hand and calculate parameters in our minds? Don't be ridiculous.

Since things have come to this, I might as well get some sleep.

Chen Yi closed his eyes and suddenly felt that another person had been added to the cramped wooden bed.

"Sleep well, I'm here."

It was Lorelei's voice; her breath was very close to Chen Yi's face, and he could feel its warmth.

"I can't sleep."

Chen Yi lay there for about ten minutes, then got up again.

People tend to get more and more energetic the longer they stay up...

"Commander, that's adrenaline."

"Of course I know."

Chen Yi sometimes wondered why he hadn't died suddenly.

"Manager Shi, does the camp's medical station have sleeping pills or something like that? I'd like to get some."

“Sleeping pills…I’m sorry, Mr. Chen, we don’t have those here…but we do have tranquilizers.”

Sleeping pills are sedatives, but not all sedatives are suitable for inducing sleep... Moreover, Chen Yi had only heard of zolpidem as a sedative for battlefield environments.

"...No need."

After thinking about it, Chen Yi gave up. If he really couldn't sleep, he could just close his eyes and take a nap.

Day Seven: Chapter 264 Deduction

Does the camp canteen serve high-calorie fried chicken and fries during late-night snack time...?

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow as he took the fried chicken that Lorelei had brought back from the cafeteria, but he didn't say anything.

We ate whatever was available, and it had been a while since we'd had fried chicken and fries, so it was a good opportunity to change things up.

"Commander, the autopsy report for the car accident this afternoon is out."

Kroos appeared, glanced at Chen Yi sitting at the table preparing to eat, and hesitated before speaking.

"what happened?"

Chen Yi handed Luo Leilai a disposable glove and then handed her another one.

"The topic we're about to discuss might not be suitable to hear during a meal..."

"You mean that driver? Was there anything wrong with the autopsy report?"

Chen Yi didn't take it seriously.

"To summarize, there are also gray implants inside the brain, but..."

Kroos hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

"You can see for yourself after you finish eating."

"......Row."

Although Kroos's suspenseful behavior was a bit annoying... maybe she was right, and it might indeed affect his appetite. After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi decisively chose to follow his heart.

It's not surprising that the truck driver was implanted with a gray implant. The zoo had just opened and attracted so many tourists that the number of modifications being done every day was terrifying in the whole of Chiba City. This meant that these victims were either potential criminals or assassins waiting for their chance.

However, it's quite clear that, judging from the fact that he's been repeatedly targeted for assassination by the tentacle-like fake humans... Chen Yi can be certain that they're after him.

It seems that cooperation with seedling nurseries is indeed necessary.

"Commander, ah~"

Lorelei brought a French fry to her mouth.

For some reason, she seemed to have a great interest in feeding.

"I don't know if one set of bow-and-dog equipment is enough for the seedlings..."

Chen Yi, the big blockhead, was still thinking about work.

He is just one step away from fully launching the production line.

With no issues with the factory area, production lines, and raw materials, the only problem is the lack of personnel.

Skilled worker.

"If it could be produced using artificial intelligence..."

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, and then a brilliant idea struck him.

"Why not try an AI that manages the factory? It can control the mechanization of the entire factory at any time..."

However, without human intervention, accidents can't be handled properly, so it's best to hire workers instead.

Chen Yi thought about it again and realized that it was unreliable.

......

"Case related to the videotape..."

To fulfill the terms of the contract, Miao Mu has already spent half a day in the archives.

Fortunately, there were no tasks requiring his level of expertise to be in command on-site today...

While using his work phone to set the tone and direct different cases, he also looked through documents in the archives, occasionally taking out a small notebook from his chest to jot down notes.

"April 2000..."

"1984 years..."

"2006......"

Regardless of whether the seedlings are useful or not, as long as they involve keywords such as curses or videotapes, the seedlings will write them down and try to connect the clues between them while analyzing the key points.

"There are still too few connections..."

Miao Mu frowned.

Aside from mentioning that the videotape was nearby when the victim died, there was nothing in common.

The mascots used in the attacks were all different, making it impossible to prove a direct connection between the videotapes and the mascots.

"No, wait..."

The connection between the fake person and the videotape does not mean that the videotape itself is a fake person...

The intuition of a veteran police officer came through, and a thought flashed through Miao Mu's mind.

Go check out the evidence room.

"Hey?"

As Miao Mu left the archives, her phone rang, and she answered it without hesitation.

"Commander Miaomu, a middle-aged businessman died in a wealthy villa area in Hanamigawa Ward. His family called the police."

"...Revenge killing? Murder?" Miao Mu was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Neither of those, it was... a fake human attack."

......

"Kroos, you actually overlooked something before. Watching this kind of thing after eating will only make you more likely to throw up..."

Seeing this before a meal makes me lose my appetite, and seeing it after a meal makes me want to vomit.

Upon seeing the details of the driver's autopsy, Chen Yi felt physically uncomfortable.

"The extent of this modification... is very deep."

The internal organs had turned gray, and irregular wrinkles had appeared on them.

"But what I really want to know is, why can these pseudo-humans, who are clearly unable to come into contact with sunlight and are so highly parasitized... they probably can't even be called human anymore, yet they can move around in the sun?"

"I think it's probably not true freedom of movement."

Kroos shook her head.

“I reviewed the video footage from the municipal hospital at the time. In areas without windows or direct sunlight, the five former SWAT attackers behaved like healthy, normal people. However, when passing through windows or in corridors with direct sunlight, their movements became noticeably slower.”

The same goes for the driver involved in the car accident this afternoon. After getting out of the car, it took him a good ten seconds to raise his gun and aim. In a society like this, it is clearly unreasonable for someone who works in logistics and is constantly on the road encountering all sorts of things to be so slow in drawing his gun.

"So you mean that the implant survived because it was inside the victim's body and wasn't exposed to direct sunlight?"

Chen Yi understood. The reason for the stiffness was easy to explain: although there was no direct sunlight, the radiation from the sunlight was still absorbed by the pseudo-human substance in the body, which would produce certain pain or loss of control.

"Well, they didn't initially associate the truck driver with a dummy. It was only after he got up and started biting them on the way to the emergency that they realized it."

No wonder they released him so quickly after taking his statement; it wasn't just thanks to the dashcam.

"Klukka, didn't you shoot his heart back then?"

However, Chen Yi was still puzzled by this.

Chen Yi saw the driver fall down very clearly.

"I definitely shot the heart..."

But that doesn't mean that hitting the heart means the opponent is doomed. Due to the limits of defense, Kruka didn't have a chance to finish off the opponent.

It has harmed innocent people...

Chen Yi was powerless to do anything about it.

......

"An attack by a fake stuntman, the family called the police..."

Miao Mu was pondering this while on his way to the site.

"That entrepreneur is the general manager of a newly established automotive group..."

While waiting at the traffic light, Miao Mu glanced at the briefing on the police computer and roughly understood why he had to go to the scene to oversee things this time.

"But something still seems a bit strange..."

It wasn't a revenge killing; the body was already highly decomposed, and the time of death was probably within three hours...

The deceased's family said they had dinner with him just three hours earlier.

"The biggest question is, why are the deceased's family members unharmed?"

In all his years as a police officer, Miao Mu has never handled a case of a fake attack where the perpetrators let the other people under the same roof go.

With the steering wheel in hand, Miaomu drove onto the auxiliary road and headed towards the bridge.
