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

I have a feeling that if I keep asking, I might be forced to meet something unpleasant...

"Commander, I am in position and ready to storm the fourth floor."

Maintaining tactical focus, Kruka, as the vanguard, arrived at the stairwell first.

"Ready in position."

Chen Yi was not far from her, in a place where he could provide support at any time.

"Ready to go."

Lorelei was responsible for guarding the direction behind them, while the robot guarded the area below the stairwell.

Since robots can control recoil at will, could they be equipped with fully automatic shotguns?

Chen Yi had a sudden inspiration, but he stored the idea away for the time being.

"Inspection complete. Above... left corridor, front corridor, all closed."

Chen Yi followed along up the stairs, and the group gathered a little below the stairwell.

"Break in."

Kluka seized the opportunity to grab him, and at that moment another explosion rang out.

"...Kluis is at your one o'clock position."

Chen Yi glanced at the corridor on the left and pondered for a moment.

Are the saplings on this floor? Have they engaged the enemy yet?

Unfortunately, he no longer has any drones; his guitar case is at home. The companion fairy he just saw was one of the pieces of equipment assigned to the Centaurus.

"Commander, I can go..."

No need to go, we're already here.

Lorelei produced a bomb, threw it forward, and the violent explosion ripped through the entire floor, causing the concrete walls of the narrow corridor to deform.

"Don't let it get away!"

Amidst the billowing smoke, Chen Yi immediately reacted and began searching for his target within the thick smoke.

"It can still move?"

Chen Yi raised the acid-corrosion rifle and fired a purple grenade.

Another loud bang, but it seemed the fake man wasn't hit.

"He can run so fast?"

Chen Yi sensed Kroos's location, then boldly ventured into the thick smoke, heading towards the corner of the corridor where Lorelei had been blasted.

"Commander, a large number of body parts were left at the scene."

"Can you determine whether it's dead or alive?"

Chen Yi arrived at Kroc's location, while Lorelei was still slowly creeping up from behind, keeping watch all the way.

"Judging from the current situation... the chances of him still being alive are rather slim."

Kruka tried to identify the flying fragments of limbs, attempting to piece together the original tentacle pseudo-human.

Lorelei's bomb was still too powerful. Chen Yi looked at the broken concrete walls around him and gently moved a few steps to the side.

The floor seems a bit unstable.

"Something's up."

Kroos, who was analyzing the parts on the ground, suddenly raised her gun and pointed it out into the thick fog.

"Halt! Drop your weapons!"

Chen Yi saw clearly that it was a figure holding a gun-like object.

"...Chen Jun?"

It was Officer Naegi's voice.

But why is there only one person?

Chen Yi remained vigilant.

"Officer Naegi, where are your teammates?"

"They're behind us. We encountered that tentacle dummy earlier. The Delta team's SWAT officers couldn't withstand the mental shock and had to rest on the spot."

"Kroos".

Chen Yi did not believe the other party's one-sided statement.

"Judging from their movements in the surveillance footage, what they said is correct."

Klukka was silent for a moment before answering.

"Officer Naegi, I just encountered that big guy."

After realizing that the other party was most likely himself, Chen Yi relaxed a bit and shared some unimportant information.

"I know, what I want to know is... what are you doing here?"

Miao Mu was also puzzled by Chen Yi's presence here.

"There was a riot downstairs earlier; it was fired by a patient who was being controlled by a fake person."

"Firstly, they didn't know I was coming to the hospital, but since they were loitering near the lobby and had weapons, it means they intended to kill the person in possession of the videotape in the hospital..."

Whether it's a scarecrow, a charred corpse, or a tentacle-like fake person, their target has always been another holder staying in the hospital.

"Less than an hour has passed since I first saw the scarecrow." Miao Mu watched as the smoke cleared and several people slowly emerged from the smoke.

"The fake man did not launch an attack in the lobby beforehand."

This means that the person who possessed the videotape was still upstairs and was alive at least an hour ago.

"Commander, that fake man is still alive."

Kroos suddenly spoke up.

"...?"

What kind of tankiness king?

Chen Yi turned around abruptly.

"It appeared on the fifth floor, above us."

Chen Yi looked back at the corner where the explosion had just occurred. There were several scattered, relatively thick cracks that had torn apart the walls and floorboards.

"Officer Naegi, are there any residents on this floor who haven't been evacuated yet?"

"......have."

"Then leave the one upstairs to us. Please also help me find the owner of that videotape."

Chen Yi habitually checked his remaining ammunition and headed towards the stairs.

"Then I'll join up with the other teams first," Miao Mu said from behind.

......

"Commander, I couldn't find any information about that tentacle dummy online."

On the way to the stairs, Kluge gave a brief report of some additional information, as before.

"So you mean it's another new variant, right?" Chen Yi's mood didn't fluctuate much.

It's nothing unusual anymore; I only play high-level matches.

Judging from the elaborate schemes of that tentacle-like pseudo-human, it's not just highly intelligent; it possesses at least the same level of political maneuvering as humans.

Chen Yi didn't want his future life to be constantly targeted by this kind of guy.

So when he was exchanging information with Miao Mu earlier, he had already decided that he must personally eliminate this imposter.

He schemed against him at least four times...

It's time to put an end to this.

P.S.: I got the recommendation spot for the second time, and I'll add an extra chapter every day next week when I get featured!

Day Seven: Chapter 272 The Transformation of Beasts, How Much Deception Is There?

Chapter 272

"Lorelei, the blast shouldn't have hit any load-bearing walls, right?"

Chen Yi circled around the place where the tentacle dummy had escaped.

There were some obvious liquid residues on the ground, extending in a straight line into the depths.

If nothing unexpected happens, the tentacle pseudo-human is not far ahead, and it's already at its wit's end.

"According to the provided engineering structural design drawings... this location is not a load-bearing block, and there are no load-bearing walls."

Kroc explained.

"Let's get through quickly."

Chen Yi was more inclined to believe in the explosive power of Lorelei's bomb than the sturdiness of the hospital's concrete structure.

With a movement trajectory, Chen Yi quickly caught up with the tentacle pseudo-human that kept fleeing and even tried to go to higher floors.

After losing a large number of limbs and flesh, the remaining part looked only half the size of a person, with a morbid dark purple color, and crawled forward in fits and starts.

Klukka quickly raised her gun and fired a burst of bullets.

The tentacle-like fake human tried to struggle, but after being hit by a burst of bullets from Kroos, it became completely still.

"Playing dead?" Chen Yi stared at the corpse on the ground, thought for a moment, and emptied the bullets from his rifle.

The corrosion continued to spread until it completely destroyed the body's surface.

Now, even if the other party wanted to live, they wouldn't be able to.

Chen Yi stared at the mangled flesh on the ground and relaxed slightly.

"Wait a little longer, Commander."

"Kluka said."

Lorelei raised her gun and fired another bullet into the center of the corpse. The fire immediately began to spread, eventually covering the entire body.

"You guys are so thoughtful."

......

After standing still for a while and confirming that the other party was really dead, Chen Yi and the two were just about to leave the fifth floor when they encountered Miao Mu, who had split up earlier, at the stairwell.

"So fast?" Miao Mu couldn't help but look Chen Yi up and down.

He thought his opponent would engage in a prolonged struggle, trading blows and countering each move...

"The tentacle pseudo-human... I couldn't find it, it ran away." Chen Yi suddenly changed his mind about to say the information, his face showing no sign of anything amiss.

The tentacle-like dummy was naturally dead. Chen Yi finished it off with a stab when it exploded, then caught up with Lou Kelukai and shot it again. He shot the corpse again, causing it to corrode as well. Finally, Lorelei finished it off with a shot and cremated it.

If they are still alive, it can only be due to divine intervention.

“Perfect timing, I also found something about videotapes.” As he spoke, he looked up at Kroos and Lorelei.

The two men stared intently at him, their fingers on the trigger.

"Let's go, let's check your clues." Chen Yi lowered his gun slightly from his relaxed stance, and the humanoid girls behind him immediately understood.

In a ward on the fourth floor, Chen Yi saw the "discovery" that Miao Mu had mentioned.

If a professional forensic examiner were to examine a woman's corpse, they might be able to find something beneath the seemingly uninjured surface.

Unfortunately, Chen Yi was not a professional forensic doctor, nor did he intend to study the corpses.

The deceased was sitting on the edge of the bed, with half of his body lying on the bed. He appeared to be a family member of the patient. As for the patient... he was on the bed, with his eyes closed and motionless.
