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

At the same time, short, continuous gunshots rang out from the balcony.

"Yi-kun! There are flying things outside..." Mai Sakurajima shouted.

"Ding-dong!" As luck would have it, Nightmare struck at this moment.

Chen Yi casually used a hand axe to cut a gash in his palm, forcing himself to stay alert with the ongoing pain. He dragged the armored steel plate to the balcony, glanced at Sakurajima Mai who was struggling to stay awake, and placed the steel plate between the two balconies to serve as a makeshift bridge.

"You go first!" The torrential rain blurred his vision, and Chen Yi gestured while taking a quick look inside the house.

Although there were no dents on the door, the door frame was slightly deformed and probably wouldn't last much longer.

Soaked in the torrential rain, Mai Sakurajima, in an extremely disheveled kneeling position, began to burn the security bars on Haruno's house in the middle of the bridge.

"No! The lighter won't light!" Mai Sakurajima shouted, turning around and waving her soaking wet lighter.

Chen Yi took it, shook off the water droplets, silently prayed to the god of lighters for protection, and pressed the button to relight it.

"Take it! Try it now!"

He handed it back to Mai Sakurajima, who took it, successfully lit the magnesium strip, casually tossed the lighter aside, and held up her submachine gun to guard against the birdman who might sneak up from elsewhere at any moment.

Chen Yi looked back to guard the area; the fake figures were still some distance from successfully breaching the door.

The flames from the thermite began to diminish, and only some solid iron pipes remained stuck to the security grille.

Without hesitation, Mai Sakurajima fired her gun, severing the remaining connection points, and the entire security grille fell downstairs.

As she jumped onto Yang Nai's balcony, Chen Yi simultaneously stepped onto the steel plate, landing in two steps, causing the birdman's attack to be a step too slow.

"Bang! Bang!" The sound of rifle fire rang out, hitting several birdmen who were trying to attack, and they fell limply to the ground.

"Krooka, how's the situation?" Chen Yi asked, looking into the air.

'The other party tried to force their way in, but failed. They are currently trying to unlock the door from the inside through the peephole,' Kroos thought to herself, her voice relaxed.

Mai Sakurajima patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the glass door of Haruno's house, indicating that the door was locked.

Chen Yi raised his gun and shot at the two corners of the glass door, then kicked the entire pane of glass to shatter it.

"Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate...?" Mai Sakurajima asked somewhat guiltily.

"I know them, I can just pay them some money later." Chen Yi didn't care.

Are we... safe now?

"Not yet, those fake humans won't give up so quickly," Chen Yi replied, staring down at his dripping trouser legs.

The wound was irritating his nerves, but Chen Yi remained calm, removed the magazine, and checked the bullets inside.

The magazine, with a capacity of about 30 rounds, was completely full of bullets, seemingly without a single one missing.

Chen Yi knew that the mysterious machine spirit had exerted its power once again.

Adolescent Syndrome: Chapter Seventy-Eight - Explosion

Chapter 78

Chen Yi always carried his phone with him. Although it had just been rained on on the balcony for a short while and got a little wet, it didn't affect its use.

Take advantage of this relatively safe time to check on the whereabouts of the others.

Firstly, due to heavy rain, the school was temporarily closed today.

This is normal.

Then came a message from Hiratsuka-sensei, just one line: "Take care of your life," without mentioning whether she would come over.

"I hope not. Hiratsuka-sensei is an adult." Chen Yi believed she would weigh the pros and cons.

As for the officers from the Ironblood and Security Division, there's no need to keep calling them. They're human too, and they won't risk changing their strategy to prioritize higher floors just because of one person.

Finally, there's Yukinoshita.

In case the other party didn't see it, Chen Yi chose to call directly, even if it might disturb them.

"Hello? Mr. Chen? What's up?" Yukinoshita Haruno's tone was tinged with undisguised weariness. It seemed that this invasion incident would have a certain impact on the reputation of the Yukinoshita family, as their business.

"To make a long story short, do you have any emergency supplies stored in your apartment building, the one next to mine where the incident happened?" Chen Yi said quickly, looking up to see Sakurajima Mai using a submachine gun to clear away a bird-like creature that had squeezed through a gap in the security bars. She then symbolically covered the microphone with her hand.

Even though covering it up didn't help, the gunshots were still recorded completely.

"There's a pistol and a few rounds of ammunition on the bedside table in the bedroom, a first-aid kit in the wardrobe, and two bottles of tear gas in the bathroom," Yukinoshita answered without asking why, recalling the situation briefly.

Isn't this practically the same as having nothing at all? The young lady of the Yukinoshita family has less safety awareness than a high school student like me?

"Thank you so much, Miss Yukinoshita, for saving my life. I will visit you with a gift another day." Chen Yi mentally complained, but said some polite compliments aloud before hanging up the phone without hesitation.

"Miss Mai, go look for a first-aid kit in the bedroom closet. Take it out. There are also some bullets in the bedside table; take them out and see if they're a match." Chen Yi glanced at the wound on his palm, as if he could hear that death knell again.

“Okay.” Mai Sakurajima handed over the task of defending the balcony to Chen Yi, and turned to walk into the bedroom without hesitation.

"Found it." Mai Sakurajima moved quickly, carrying a medical kit and several boxes of 9mm.

Chen Yi opened the medical kit, found the bandage, tore off a piece and wrapped it around the grip of the rifle to prevent the blood on his palm from making the grip slippery and difficult to hold.

The doorbell rang again, this time from outside. Clearly, the enhanced android had realized that Chen Yi had gone to another house from the balcony and had followed the trail.

Chen Yi glanced at the security door, which hadn't been damaged much, gritted his teeth, took out the medical alcohol from the first-aid kit, unscrewed the cap, and poured it directly onto the bandage wrapped around his left arm.

Soon, Chen Yi felt the pain in his old wound intensify, becoming excruciating and agonizing.

Chen Yi couldn't help but groan twice, his mind clearer than ever before.

'Commander?' Kroos paused for a moment, Chen Yi's pained emotions clearly reaching her heart.

"I'm fine. The fake mannequin from your doorway came over here," Chen Yi replied, his gaze sweeping over the furnishings in the living room, but ultimately finding nothing.

"Yi-kun, I'm running low on bullets..." After killing another birdman, Mai Sakurajima's eyelids drooped, and drowsiness washed over her.

Fortunately, the combined effects of fear and adrenaline prevented her from easily succumbing to sleepiness, allowing her to continue moving normally.

"Hold on, don't fall asleep." Chen Yi pointed to the boxes of pistol bullets and the pistol on the table, then took her place and looked towards the balcony.

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground was heard as Kruka piloted 'Messenger-1' across the temporary steel bridge to help alleviate some of the pressure.

"Can you load bullets? I'll help you." Chen Yi put down his gun, picked up the empty magazine and bullets from the table, and loaded them one by one.

"Bang—!" A loud banging sound rang out as the two evil spirits outside continued to press closer.

"Tsk!"

After loading two magazines, Chen Yi handed the remaining tasks over to Mai Sakurajima, picked up the rifle on the table, and stood near the door.

"Thump." The sound of banging on the door rang out, much quieter this time. At the same time, the peephole of the door was also damaged by a bone spike.

Without hesitation, Chen Yi threw the hand axe, which accurately broke the bone spike and embedded it in the door.

With a sudden sinking motion, the hand axe returned to his hand and then disappeared.

"Tear gas...does it really work?" Chen Yi remembered that tear gas was one of the emergency supplies that Yukino Yukinoshita had mentioned before.

Well, let's try anything, even if it's a long shot.

Chen Yi quickly grabbed two bottles of tear gas, opened one after reading the instructions on the bottle, risked walking to the door, and sprayed it all out through the peephole.

The sound of the door being rammed lessened somewhat, indicating that the tear gas did indeed have some effect on them.

"Miss Mai!" Chen Yi shouted loudly.

"Yi Jun? What are your orders?"

"Now there are two paths!" Chen Yi retreated to the center of the living room and manually helped 'Messenger-1' reload.

"First, we're waiting for rescue here! But this floor is too high; the rescue won't arrive in time!"

"What about number two?"

“Let’s go back to my house and figure out how to get rid of those two annoying guys at the door!” Chen Yi replied, already having an idea.

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima did not hesitate at all and immediately took on the responsibility of leading the way.

The two people and the robotic dog returned to their previous residence without much trouble.

Chen Yi returned to the living room and immediately went to the kitchen, where he found two large bags of flour.

Carrying two bags of flour, Chen Yi, under the cover of 'Messenger-1', returned alone to Yukino Yukinoshita's house, using a hand axe to smash the flour bags and scatter handfuls of flour in the entryway.

"Cough, cough..." Some of the dust entered his nasal cavity, causing discomfort, but Chen Yi ignored it. Soon, all he could see was a white blur.

It's done. Next is ignition.

Chen Yi patted himself off, then paused in surprise.

He had given the lighter to Mai Sakurajima before.

"Mai! Do you still have the lighter?"

Chen Yi returned to the balcony and shouted to his neighbor in the pouring rain.

"A lighter? It fell down!"

Chen Yi looked at the steel plate and saw that the lighter was lying in the middle of the bridge and had not fallen to the ground.

Fire source obtained.

Next, it's time to ignite...

"Commander? You can't escape!" Kluke noticed Chen Yi's plan and warned him.

Chen Yi returned to the living room and was about to press the button when his finger abruptly stopped.

What to do then? Chen Yi pondered. He needed a spark to ignite the dust, but if he was in a safe place, he wouldn't be able to cause an explosion.

"Commander, I have a way! Throw out the 'Soldier Ant-1' on your body!" Kroka said quickly to Chen Yi as she left the mechanical dog.

“Yes, the battery is short-circuited…” Chen Yi threw the mechanical mouse, which hit the security door, then returned to the balcony and quickly returned to his home via the steel plate.

Chen Yi took out his phone and saw the two fake humans opening the door in the last scene of 'Soldier Ant-1', which then froze in time.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion resounded through our hearts.

Adolescent Syndrome: Chapter Seventy-Nine - Rest

Chen Yi's legs went weak, as if the entire building shook violently, followed by a deafening roar and a buzzing in his ears.

Chen Yi's hearing seemed to have deteriorated for some time. He stared at Mai Sakurajima's moving lips but couldn't hear clearly.

"Yi-kun! How are you?" Sakurajima Mai leaned close to Chen Yi, who was feeling a little dizzy.

"It's...okay." Chen Yi waved his hand, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples.

The lithium battery of the 'Soldier Ant-1' controlled by Kluge short-circuited and caught fire, igniting the flour floating in the air and causing a dust explosion.

This was the idea Chen Yi came up with on the spot, and it was also the most efficient and powerful.

The corridor fell silent. Chen Yi pressed his ear against the door and listened for a while, his tense nerves relaxing a little.

"Are we safe?" Mai Sakurajima asked.

"probably."

The heavy rain was still falling outside, and the birdman kept trying to break through the gaps in the security bars, but with 'Messenger-1' diligently guarding the area, there was no need to worry about it.

In other words, it's probably safe now.

After the biggest crisis was resolved, a wave of mental exhaustion immediately washed over me, and even the physical pain became much less intense.

Chen Yi took out scissors from the drawer and cut off the bandage that had been soaked in alcohol, revealing the bloody wound underneath.

"Yi-kun, do you need any help?" Mai Sakurajima, who was sitting on the sofa silently loading bullets into the magazine, noticed Chen Yi's actions, looked up at the wound, and asked with concern.

"I can do it myself." Chen Yi returned to the bedroom, pulled out a medical kit from under the bed that was several times larger than the one at Yukinoshita Haruno's house, took out some red medicine, and reapplied the medicine and bandage.

The wound on my palm was slowly bleeding, and it had not healed due to the continuous movement.

Chen Yi was too lazy to get cotton swabs, so he took a bottle of hydrogen peroxide to the bathroom, unscrewed the cap, and started washing the wound.

The edges of the cracked skin were somewhat white, and the entire palm was cold and stiff from being soaked in rainwater. The moment hydrogen peroxide was poured on it, dense little bubbles rose to the surface of the wound.
