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

He then prepared to leave.

"It's alright, you can use it."

Seeing that they seemed to be in a hurry, Miao Mu was about to put away all the documents and drafts she had just taken out.

"What case?"

Miao Mu asked casually, his mind preoccupied with the corpse's hand.

I had something in my hand... Was it taken away?

"It's the municipal hospital; our officers have been attacked."

"!"

Miao Mu suddenly looked up and stared intently at the police officer.

"Attack?"

"It was a scarecrow; several officers were caught off guard."

"Damn it... no one called to tell me about something this important?" Miao Mu picked up his phone; there were many unread messages piling up in his inbox.

"Kumada, prepare the car to take me to the municipal hospital. The rest of you, continue with your briefing."

Miao Mu instructed that he needed to go to the scene immediately.

It was already 1 a.m. when Miao Mu returned to the municipal hospital. He glanced at the doubled number of guards at the entrance and patiently showed his identification.

What's going on inside?

"Sir, the police team arrived six minutes ago and are searching for the fake man."

"...Where was the attack located?"

Miao Mu entered the hospital and looked at the lobby, which was just as crowded as during the day. He ignored the hospitalized patients and their families and found a police officer he knew in the crowd and asked him a question.

"At the location of the previous attack on the third floor, the police officers responsible for securing the area were attacked..."

"scarecrow?"

"...Not only that, the emergency response team that arrived later also detected abnormally low temperatures."

"Low temperature..."

There are many variations of the pseudo-human that affects temperature, and it's hard to recall them just from hearing this characteristic.

"I'll go up and take a look."

Miao Mu said that she was about to walk past the police officer.

“Saplings, it’s too dangerous up there.”

"I have to go and evacuate the people, don't I?"

Miao Mu glanced at the rows of hospital beds waiting to be transferred, gently placed her hand on the police officer's shoulder, and pulled away with an unquestionable air.

......

"Something happened at the municipal hospital."

Kroc's words were concise and to the point. Chen Yi, who had been sitting at the table with his eyes half-closed, sat up straight again, his eyes revealing a subtle lack of focus.

"Phew... wait a minute."

Chen Yi took a deep breath.

What type of attack?

Chen Yi, having refocused his attention, picked up the draft paper, looked at the chaotic thought process on it, and crumpled it into a ball with slight frustration.

"penetration."

"..."

Chen Yi paused for a moment, then thought that most of the unintelligent fake humans couldn't break through the security forces at the hospital entrance, so the intelligent ones would choose to infiltrate.

"The unknown holder of the videotape is still in the hospital tonight," Lorelei said, relaying what Chen Yi wanted to say.

"...I need to go to the municipal hospital."

Chen Yi opened his phone and glanced at the navigation.

It takes about fifty minutes to get from here to the municipal hospital.

However, that's based on normal circumstances...

"At night, with no vehicles on the road and no attacks, it will only take half an hour, Commander."

Lorelei drew the number three. Neither she nor Krochai tried to dissuade Chen Yi from going; they were capable of protecting him along the way.

"An attack was inevitable... However, from this information, it's not hard to deduce the identity of the person possessing the videotape..."

The Echo team was admitted to the hospital on the fourth day after their initial admission, either by the patient or their family.

The scope has been narrowed considerably.

"Lorelei, go prepare the car."

Chen Yi dialed Manager Shi's number.

"Manager Shi, something's happened at Chiba's place, I need to leave..."

P.S.: We've surpassed 500 average daily subscriptions! Love you all! OwO

Day Seven: Chapter 268 Reunion

Chapter 268

"You're leaving? Why?"

Manager Shi received a call from Chen Yi in the middle of the night. His first reaction, half-asleep, was that he was still asleep.

"Something came up in Chiba, and I need to go back."

“Uh… Mr. Chen, the escort service is included in the security contract by default. I will now prepare a vehicle for you.”

Although Manager Shi felt puzzled, he respected Chen Yi's idea and, after thinking for a moment, made a suggestion.

"That's not what I meant. I meant to inform you, and then you can let me through at the camp gate. Oh, by the way, how's the human-faced bear doing now?"

"Compared to the evening, the frequency of attacks by the human-faced bears has increased, but please rest assured, Mr. Chen, it is no exaggeration to say that even if the number doubles or triples, it will not affect our defensive positions."

Manager Shi made a firm promise.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave. See you another day."

Chen Yi hung up the phone. Manager Shi glanced at the call log, then, with a bit of renewed focus, dialed the relay phone of the sentry at the camp gate.

......

"The bear with the human face isn't even that good-looking..."

Chen Yi shot the bear twice in the head, killing it instantly.

That was the second one.

"Klukka, you focus on gathering information. I'll take care of the vigilance and counterattack."

Chen Yi made a gesture to Kroka, who immediately understood and sat down on the middle row of chairs with armrests, fastened her seatbelt, leaned back, and closed her eyes.

Chen Yi then pulled up the Kentauros prototype in the trunk of the car and stuffed the rifle into its hand.

Although the Kentaur was designed specifically for drawing a bow, there was no way it could be used in the cramped environment of a minivan. Fortunately, a rifle would also work, otherwise Kluka would have been missing a combatant when searching for information.

Chen Yi took two more explosive fairies out of the trunk and threw them out the window like hand grenades, then sat down and began to remotely control them.

Shortly after, two explosions rang out in the forest.

At the same time, Lorelei also drove the car onto the highway.

......

"...There's something following the car in the distance."

Lorelei spoke up to remind him, while pressing her foot down on the accelerator a little further.

The car was already approaching 200 km/h, and in the sparse streetlights, Chen Yi could vaguely see that the dark figure following closely behind had not been shaken off.

The height was approximately three meters, and there were no obvious footsteps or howls...

Being able to keep up with a car traveling at 200 km/h...that's impressive.

Chen Yi opened the car window, a DSR appeared in his hand, he unfolded the bracket and placed it on the windowsill, looking at the other party through the optical sight.

The surrounding environment was too dark to make out the guy's true appearance.

"Bam—"

Without hesitation, Chen Yi fired the first shot. The bullet streaked across the darkness in a dazzling flash.

There was no movement; I don't know if it gave up or died.

After remaining vigilant for a while and confirming that it was truly safe, Chen Yi put down his gun and closed the car window again.

"How much of the journey is left?" Chen Yi asked Lorelei in the driver's seat.

"Commander, we've only just set off, less than ten minutes... but we've already covered a third of the distance."

Just as Lorelei said, it only takes about half an hour to get back to the city center.

"Commander, I've finished organizing the data." Kroos opened her eyes.

"So? Got a lead?"

"There are quite a few potential candidates who meet the criteria, but we have to go to the site to see them in person."

"Kelukai said, but her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Chen Yi," she said.

"Commander, let's take this opportunity to rest for a bit."

"..."

Chen Yi glanced at the time on his tactical wristband; it was 2 a.m.

"Ok."

Chen Yi felt that if things continued like this, he might really ascend to immortality.

Even sleeping for ten minutes is still sleeping.

......

The temperature was about 5 degrees Celsius lower than normal. This was not caused by the air conditioner, but rather by the air conditioner being running at the same time, and the temperature was reduced by another 5 degrees Celsius.

The room temperature was 15 degrees Celsius, and the chill seeped in through the gaps between the police uniforms and heavy bulletproof vests.

Miao Mu stared at the thermometer, his brow furrowing.

Scarecrows couldn't possibly cause this low temperature. There are not only scarecrows here, but also pseudo-humans that exist in low temperature conditions, and their numbers and locations are unknown.

"..."

Miao Mu took out a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it, leaving a light in the semi-dark emergency room corridor.

It's like telling the prey, "The hunter is here."

But they are not prey; they are wolves.

"Boom!"

The well-trained SWAT team beside Naegi quickly opened fire, killing a fake man who was about to pounce out from the shadows.

"A scarecrow, lying on the ground."

Two team members moved forward and quickly finished off the enemy within a certain distance.

Scarecrows bring considerable pressure, both in terms of the difficulty of handling them and the mental pollution they cause.

The government-issued Newo Shield-5 can only resist common cognitive interference and mental pollution. To truly counteract the scarecrow's special pollution, only the scarecrow blocking agent can be used.

This drug costs six times more than the shield tablets.

They are very fast and cannot be stared at for long periods of time, which places high demands on the shooter, almost to the point where the slightest movement of the wind is enough to hit the target.

"Commander Miaomu, it's far too dangerous for you to be here..."
