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

"Hiss." Chen Yi gasped softly, his hand holding the hydrogen peroxide bottle trembled, and the remaining half bottle fell into the sink.

"..."

He did it on purpose; the pain made him feel alive.

Clean and sterilize the wound, then wrap it with sterile gauze; it won't affect your activities.

Chen Yi glanced at the bandage on his right arm, which was soaked by the rain, sighed, and removed it to replace it with a clean one.

Even if this might not last long, because danger could strike at any moment.

However, if you have time now, you should do something to prevent the wound from getting infected.

"Yi-jun." Chen Yi returned to the living room and saw Mai Sakurajima sitting there, with magazines loaded with bullets and a submachine gun on the table.

"Can we survive?"

“The most troublesome guy we know of is already dead,” Chen Yi replied.

The implication is that there's nothing left to fear.

However, the last person who said those words died a gruesome death, so Chen Yi didn't say it directly, for fear of repeating the same mistake.

"By the way, would you like something? Something sweet to replenish your energy." Chen Yi picked up the brownies scattered on the table, took an unbroken porcelain plate from the kitchen, put them on the coffee table, and placed them there.

"Just eat it as is. Now is not the time to worry about hygiene."

"Also, it's best to change your clothes, otherwise you might get hypothermia." Chen Yi sneezed before realizing what he was doing, and went back to his bedroom to grab two sets of clothes.

"Are you going to watch?" Mai Sakurajima suddenly asked out of the blue.

"......What?"

"What I mean is... just look away for a moment, close your eyes." Sakurajima Mai blushed; this was her last shred of dignity.

She didn't ask the other person to come into the room or go into the room herself because the potential threat hadn't been eliminated, and if they were separated for too long, there wouldn't be enough time to react in case of an accident.

"Sorry." Chen Yi picked up a brownie, sat down at the other end of the sofa, and ate it in small bites.

...There wasn't enough sugar, it's a bit bitter.

Chen Yi chewed, feeling inexplicably nauseous, but ultimately forced himself to swallow.

Chen Yi's throat was a little dry, and he was having some difficulty swallowing.

"Um, Yi-kun, have you... ever... done it zero times?" Sakurajima Mai asked timidly.

"Huh?" Chen Yi was instinctively stunned for a moment.

“Mine… can’t be worn anymore,” she repeated tactfully.

"Continuing to wear it... will make you sick."

Oh, I see. Then it's alright. Chen Yi went back to the bedroom and found a clean pair of underwear in the closet.

"Commander, it seems like the motor of 'Messenger-1' is malfunctioning due to water damage," Kluge said through a megaphone as she piloted her mechanical dog back from the balcony.

"Can you still move?" Chen Yi handed the clean genitals to Sakurajima Mai, who was covering her body, and picked up the rifle from beside the sofa.

“It can still move, so the impact seems to be smaller than expected,” Kruka replied, bouncing around a couple of times.

"Then you go guard the entrance, I'll take over the balcony." Without further ado, Chen Yi stood next to the glass door, raised his gun and aimed it at the gap in the security bars.

Outside the high-rise building, medium-sized drones carrying guns were constantly taking off to hunt down birdmen in the sky.

Chen Yi saw it through the optical sight and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Why didn't you do this sooner?

Silently switching to single-fire mode, Chen Yi moved a bit further out, sniping down some birdmen gliding at low altitudes and racking up some kills.

“Yi-kun.” Mai Sakurajima stood to the side, still seemingly a little hesitant.

It's probably because I'm not used to wearing it, but given the current situation, I can only adapt.

"Klukka, haven't they reached this floor yet?" Chen Yi gave the balcony to Mai Sakurajima, returned to the entrance, and checked the remaining ammunition of 'Messenger-1', replacing it with a new magazine.

"Commander, judging from the gunfire I heard, they seem to be engaging the enemy downstairs," Kluge said, indicating that the rescue team might not be able to attend to their safety for the time being.

"Combat?" Chen Yi frowned, deep in thought.

"Didn't drones and robotic dogs quickly arrive at our floor earlier? Could it be that some residents have already been hacked, but are pretending not to be, setting traps to ambush rescuers as they pass by?" Chen Yi thought about it more and more and felt that this was possible.

"Maybe something is directing things," Kroos replied casually.

"Targeting an international student like me? That's giving me way too much face," Chen Yi muttered to himself.

On the other side, Mai Sakurajima watched as a bird-like figure landed on the armored steel plate and, as it attempted to squeeze through a gap in the security bars, suddenly began to melt rapidly.

"Yi Jun, the rain is getting lighter." She said with a sigh of relief when she noticed that the sky was gradually brightening.

Chen Yi sat on the sofa, watching the bird-man melt away rapidly like a mud figure after being soaked in water, and watching the viscous liquid dripping down the street.

The time is 11:30.

It feels like the sun has come out after the rain.

P.S.: Thank you so much for your support, readers! Love you all!

Adolescent Syndrome: Chapter Eighty - Finishing Blow

Once the heavy rain stopped, the artificial figures lost their natural barrier against the sunlight, and many of them began to melt on the spot, greatly accelerating the rescue team's assault.

Noisy footsteps echoed in the corridor of this floor.

It was noon, and with the arrival of a large number of tactical humanoid robots as reinforcements, the situation was brought under control.

There's no need to fight anymore.

Chen Yi moved the shoe cabinet that was blocking the door, looked at the deformed door panel, pressed down hard on the doorknob, and tried to open the door.

A heavy tremor shook the security door open, and Chen Yi glanced at the front of the door.

The heavy metal security door was covered with horrific scratches and charred marks from the explosion.

The damage to the stairwell was less severe than expected, possibly because two bags of flour were not enough, or perhaps the building's structural blast resistance exceeded the normal level.

Looking back at the remains of the two fake humans, Nightmare had been blown to pieces, and the white enhanced evil spirit was scattered all over the ground.

The scene was exceptionally spectacular.

"Ugh..." Sakurajima Mai, who had followed Chen Yi out, went back inside and ran into the bathroom to vomit violently.

Chen Yi glanced at the marks on the ground, then rummaged through the house and found a sealed bag. He scooped up a piece of tile from the ceramic tile floor and put it in the bag.

This smell is exactly like that of an evil spirit—utterly awful.

"Should I take this to Futaba?" Kroos asked.

"This thing has the structure of a spider-man and the characteristics of an evil spirit; it can attack its own kind while also fighting in coordination with other pseudo-humans..."

Unfortunately, they couldn't find any core parts like the brain or heart; it was probably destroyed head-on. Otherwise, they could have obtained more valuable experimental data. Chen Yi stayed far away, trying to identify the body tissues while feeling somewhat disappointed.

Looking at the scattered limbs and the huge abdomen that was still half intact, Chen Yi leaned forward, trying to see the internal structure clearly.

"Commander!" Kroos called out, immediately possessing 'Messenger-1', but it was too late.

A figure leaped out from the mangled flesh of the abdomen and lunged straight at Chen Yi's face.

Chen Yi instinctively raised his left hand to block, and a hand axe appeared in his hand.

The force from his arm stung his tiger's mouth, and some black blood dripped onto his body. Then, a tentacle that looked like an octopus fell to the ground.

The unidentified creature was thrown to the ground by Chen Yi. It resembled a squid in shape, but its somewhat human-like face caused Chen Yi severe physical discomfort.

It tried to escape, but was pinned to the ground by two shots from Kroos and slowly lost its life.

"Krooka, smash it to pieces." Chen Yi took a deep breath, staring intently at the severed tentacle on the ground.

It has sharp parts, whisker-like structures, and other indescribable tissues, making it look more than just a simple tentacle.

Chen Yi squatted down, turned the thing that Kroos had beaten into a pile of mangled flesh over, and compared it with the type he remembered.

"Wait a minute, what is this shape?" Chen Yi used his axe to poke at the head and tentacles of the fake human, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

Lily-shaped mouthparts.

This conjecture popped into my head out of nowhere.

Could this little thing be the mouthparts of the enhanced evil spirit? Or perhaps, its true form?

The main body reacted so quickly, precisely hiding inside its abdomen to avoid the explosion at the very moment it exploded?

Chen Yi found it increasingly absurd, so he went back inside to get a new sealed bag and carefully scooped up the clump of minced meat, putting it into the sealed bag.

"It's already like this, it probably can't be revived, right?" Chen Yi muttered to himself, holding the bag in his hand.

If it were to revive again, he would suspect that this thing was transformed from a transmigrator from Dongda University, given its incredible lifespan.

“Yi-kun…” Mai Sakurajima came out of the bathroom, but her expression changed as soon as she smelled the odor in the living room.

"Is it that serious? Could it be psychological aversion?" Chen Yi looked around the corridor, tiptoed into the house, and closed the door to shut out the smell from outside.

He didn't smell anything special; it was just a mixture of the fishy smell of canned herring, unclean toenails, and heavy paint.

"Commander, it's possible that Miss Mai has a mild post-traumatic reaction and has a physiological aversion to this smell," Kroos gently reminded her from the side.

Oh, I see.

Chen Yi returned to the living room and tidied up the messy environment.

Well, we might end up losing a lot of money.

Looking at the badly damaged entryway and the messy balcony, Chen Yi silently calculated their prices.

Chen Yi felt he needed to carefully plan where he would live from now on.

Even living in a high-end apartment building with dozens of floors can be vulnerable to intrusion, so the quality of security is no longer a concern. It would be better to be extravagant and buy a detached house with a basement and convert it into a bunker.

"Are you feeling alright?" Chen Yi rummaged through the bathroom and found a bottle of B vitamins, then walked to the bathroom door and handed it to Mai Sakurajima.

"Thank you, Yi-kun." Mai Sakurajima took it, poured out two pieces, chewed them, and swallowed them.

"Now we just need to wait for the rescue, everything is fine."

“That was…” Mai Sakurajima remembered the gunshots coming from the doorway earlier.

"That thing wasn't completely dead, so I finished it off," Chen Yi said casually.

"Try to shift your focus and stop thinking about those things," Chen Yi said, using Kroos's words to reassure Mai Sakurajima, who then relaxed.

Chen Yi leaned against the wall, holding his gun, and looked at the somewhat dejected Sakurajima Mai, letting out a barely perceptible sigh.

Never mind, we'll figure something out later.

Taking out his phone, Chen Yi sent the information about the new biological specimen to Rio Futaba, then stared at the missed calls in the notification bar, deep in thought.

Hiratsuka-sensei's phone call.

He had been in danger and hadn't had time to pay attention.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi called back.

"Chen Yi? Are you safe right now?" The call was answered quickly.

"The crisis is over."

"You're a good kid, you didn't waste my trust." Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice was light and cheerful on the phone, unusually refraining from lecturing him.

"By the way, are you going to the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Division to give your statements or to the hospital later?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked casually.

"Go to the Metropolitan Police Department and request psychological intervention," Chen Yi said after glancing at Sakurajima Mai and thinking for a moment.

"Psychological intervention? What's wrong with you?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice suddenly turned serious.

"It wasn't me, it was a friend of mine who's staying at my house temporarily. This crisis might have some impact on her mental health," Chen Yi explained.

"girl?"

"Yes, my senior at school, Mai Sakurajima, is an entertainer."

"You didn't make up Wakaba Mutsu, did you? I don't remember anyone like that at school. And you're talking about an artist... I don't watch many dramas, and I've never heard of him." Hiratsuka Shizuka gave an unexpected answer.

Ok?

Chen Yi frowned, realizing something was wrong.
