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

"If it were a few centimeters wider, that wouldn't be a problem," Chen Yi shook his head.

"Let's keep going. The road should be fine. We'll smash our way through." Chen Yi produced a hand axe and chopped at the wooden wall every few centimeters, creating a large dent.

"If the hotel brings up compensation, I'll call someone over on the phone," Hiratsuka Shizuka said half-jokingly.

"With so many fake people in the hotel, I think this hotel is more like a corrupt and shady place. Let's focus on surviving the ATSS's big investigation first." Kasumigaoka couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle twice.

Summer Vacation: Chapter 109 Perseverance (Third Update!)

"The fake man has left?" Chen Yi and the others looked at each other in surprise when they returned to the door of Hiratsuka Shizuka's room.

Chen Yi looked at the empty corridor and was a little confused.

"Knock, knock, knock." Hiratsuka Shizuka knocked on the door.

"We're back." As Hiratsuka Shizuka knocked on the door, she sent a message in the group chat for secondary verification.

"Hiratsuka-sensei." After waiting for a while, Kato Megumi opened the door, holding a pistol in her hand so she could protect herself in case of an emergency.

"Alright, now that we're settled, let's discuss the arrangements for the future." The group entered the living room and relaxed simultaneously.

"Gurgle..." Kasumigaoka was a little hungry. She looked at the tired-looking people around her and was a little embarrassed to speak.

Because of the unexpected events this morning, no one had time to eat breakfast, and after a morning of intense energy expenditure, it's normal to be hungry.

"Are you hungry, senior?" Chen Yi noticed, struggled to stand up, took out a pack of compressed biscuits from his guitar bag, and handed it to her.

"You and Yotsuya probably haven't had time to eat, right? Here's a pack of compressed biscuits to tide you over."

Without being polite, I thanked her, took the vacuum-sealed bag, tore it open, broke off half and handed it to Yotsuya Miko, while I nibbled on the remaining half like a hamster.

"I have some unopened bottled water in my bag," he casually added.

"Thank you," Kasumigaoka mumbled.

"What do we do next?" Hiratsuka sat in the middle, looking around at the crowd, each with their own posture, but all filled with an inescapable fear.

Pessimism must not be allowed to spread; to survive, everyone must be involved in the discussion.

“If the fog doesn’t dissipate, it will be difficult for us to leave here, whether by car or to go somewhere safer,” Yukino Yukinoshita said first, offering her opinion.

"Have you ever considered this question?" Chen Yi was silent for a moment, then glanced at everyone before slowly speaking.

"Why, so far, has the hotel not issued a single official announcement, broadcast, or security personnel?"

"I remember they claimed that their hotel's third-party security company was Honglian Security Co., Ltd. So far, I haven't seen any security personnel clearing out or evacuating people. Normally, shouldn't a compliant public building have dedicated refuge facilities?"

After hearing these words, the group did not respond.

"Yi-kun, I need to correct a misconception you have," Mai Sakurajima whispered.

"Japan doesn't have public shelters for fake people. Building and maintaining these facilities on a large scale would be too costly in terms of manpower and resources. This isn't Tokyo University."

"..."

"Uh, maybe my security company has only ever dealt with 'Iron Blood' before. Are the other security companies all useless?"

“It’s not that bad…” Hiratsuka Shizuka said after thinking for a while.

"However, it's true that their functions don't overlap as much with ATSS as Ironblood's. Most security companies are only responsible for matters within the contract, and so far, most security contracts rarely include clauses for proactive participation in front-line combat operations."

So is it normal for the hotel to be completely silent, with no announcements or broadcasts?

"As for the hotel's lack of response... that's indeed a bit strange." Hiratsuka Shizuka said she didn't know either.

"What about the military? Does the military care?"

“Japan doesn’t have a military. If we’re talking about something that’s close to military functions… it’s probably the government-run security companies,” Kato Megumi replied.

"..."

The atmosphere of the discussion suddenly froze again. Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.

"Speaking of which, how long do we expect to stay here?" Yotsuya Miko asked.

"Once the fog dissipates, the ATSS vehicle should arrive, and given the level of danger at this hotel, the expert response team might also come." Yukinoshita showed the weather forecast on her phone, which indicated that the weather would clear up in about one to two hours, around 2 PM.

"So, in other words, we can just hold out until 2 PM if we don't do anything, right?" Yuihama's voice was somewhat relaxed.

"How to survive until 2 PM is still a problem. We've already killed several fake humans since 7:30 in the morning..." Chen Yi casually complained.

"Commander, the temperature has dropped," Kroos suddenly said.

......

"Don't you guys feel a bit cold...?" Yui asked cautiously, wearing denim shorts and a thin short-sleeved shirt, and subconsciously rubbing her arms.

"Here we go again?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked up suddenly, clearly having the same thought as Chen Yi.

"You've met before?" Yukinoshita frowned.

“I encountered the low-temperature dummy in the corridor.” Chen Yi picked up the rifle and skillfully checked the ammunition inside.

"Is it difficult to deal with?"

“You couldn’t see each other at all in the thick fog, but Chen handled it quite casually,” Hiratsuka Shizuka replied.

"This is really never going to end..." Sakurajima Mai sighed, her tense mind having no chance to relax.

"I feel like this thing is about to run out of power." Chen Yi tapped the VR device he was wearing on his head with his finger and raised his gun to aim at the door.

"Dear guest, welcome to Tsuki no Mori Hotel. Please abide by the following rules for your safety."

Just then, the loudspeaker in the hallway outside the door started playing.

"?"

Chen Yi turned around and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"First, Moon Forest Hotel adheres to the principles of safety and comfort, and the mattresses used are all high-end custom-made with genuine materials. If you accidentally damage them, please go to the front desk on the first floor of the hotel to pay compensation."

"Secondly, the hotel packages are affordable and offer excellent service. Even the most basic suites come with beverage and ice cream delivery service. If you feel the temperature drop, don't worry, the bartender will bring you a mobile refrigerator for delivery."

"Third, the hotel is luxuriously decorated and exquisitely designed, with every wall meticulously crafted by artisans. If you accidentally damage the facilities in the public areas, we will pursue your legal responsibility."

"Fourth, adhering to the principle of providing the best protection for guests, the hotel has terminated the labor contract with Honglian Security Company and re-bid for the surveillance system and personal security personnel. Ultimately, the hotel selected electronic eyes and fog-man security personnel as its security force. Please do not attack security personnel without cause. Thank you for your cooperation."

Finally, I wish you a pleasant holiday and thank you for your cooperation!

The broken, distorted, and noisy broadcast echoed in the room.

Fake bed, low-temperature dummy, wall, fog person and surveillance dummy...

Everything is complete.

Chen Yi felt his heart pounding and his hands and feet growing colder.

Summer Vacation: Chapter 110 Nightmare

Unlike the last time when the low-temperature dummy only lowered the room temperature slightly, this time, the guy outside is serious.

Chen Yi had sharp eyes and noticed that a thin layer of frost had begun to form on the door panel.

"Be prepared for the door to be breached." Chen Yi lowered his stance to ensure that he wouldn't block his teammates' guns when he was at the front, while pressing his ear against the wall to try to eavesdrop on any sounds outside the door.

"I am an officer from the Abnormal Threat Security Division! Take refuge downstairs now!" A series of noisy footsteps echoed in the corridor, followed by a voice that seemed to approach from afar and then recede into the distance.

"Click".

Someone opened the door to the guest room next door, followed by a scream that was abruptly cut off.

"..."

"Guest, this is a hotel waiter, here to serve you drinks." A strange male voice sounded from outside the door, his pronunciation somewhat odd.

"Open the door."

It kicked the door, shaking off all the frost that had formed on it.

"Guest, you are suspected of damaging hotel property. We need to discuss compensation with you; otherwise, we will pursue legal action against you..."

The door was smashed open by the figure in the mist, and a hail of bullets flew toward the doorway.

The man in the fog, along with the low-temperature dummy whose true form was revealed, was torn to pieces by bullets and fell straight down in the corridor outside the door.

"It's not safe here anymore." Looking at the wide-open entrance hall, Hiratsuka Shizuka stated this fact with a sense of helplessness.

“Where else can we go? The other guest rooms have already been broken into.” Chen Yi shook his head, made a gesture, and the messenger quickly darted forward.

"Both sides of the door are secure, with no signs of hostile targets, and no abnormal heat sources detected in the thermal imaging," Kroos reported.

Two fairies rose up and flew towards the door, disappearing into the thick fog on the left and right.

"Block the door." After eliminating the threat, Chen Yi walked to the door, kicked away the two corpses blocking the wooden door, closed the door again, and told the others to move the sofa, table, and other items over.

After finishing all this, the group relaxed again, silently staying in their respective positions, an indescribable emotion beginning to spread.

“Um… let’s have a chat,” Yuihama suggested cautiously.

"You guys chat, I'm going to rest for a bit." Chen Yi waved his hand, leaned back in the corner of the room, slung his rifle over his shoulder, and slumped over.

"Commander, sweet dreams." Kluge didn't disturb him, choosing instead to process and integrate the information about the fake humans on her own, trying to find a way out of the predicament.

......

"Um... we haven't had any casualties since this morning, which means we're pretty good, right?" Yui looked around, trying to lighten the mood.

"That's really impressive. After all, not everyone who gets a gun has the ability to fight back... But the impressive one is junior." Kasumigaoka ran his fingertips along the slide of the pistol, gently touching and stroking it.

I feel like I've always been holding everyone back.

If I die... then I won't have to trouble them anymore, right?

“Everyone is very capable. Under these circumstances, being able to remain calm and not cause trouble for the capable people is the most impressive thing to do.” Miko Yotsuya put her hand on Kasumigaoka’s shoulder.

"I was careless at the time, and I didn't make sure the other party was completely dead before I let my guard down. Thank you for keeping it in check, senior." She blinked.

“…Thank you.” Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned, and after a long silence, she murmured.

"..."

What am I doing again? Yukinoshita fell silent, still resentful about the previous disagreements on decision-making.

My sister is right. I am indeed an incompetent and arrogant person, like a willful child who stubbornly believes that the world is only as I see it.

Are the pseudo-humans a dangerous race? From a macro perspective, since modern times, the number of humans harmed by the pseudo-humans is far less than the combined number of casualties in the two World Wars.

So, is the pseudo-human a common biological threat? Yet for ordinary people swept up in the tide, it is an undeniable, cannibalistic shadow that accompanies them throughout their lives.

In other words, she used to see too far ahead, so far that she overlooked the undercurrents right in front of her, whirlpools that could drag the small boat into the abyss.

This led her to say those unrealistic things.

"Yukino, what are you thinking about?" Hiratsuka sat quietly beside Yukino, holding a bag of compressed biscuits that Chen Yi had brought.

"Listen to me, in this environment, maintaining an optimistic and positive attitude makes it easier to survive. So feel free to speak your mind, I'm listening."

"Hiratsuka-sensei... I'm fine, I'm just having some trouble adjusting, but I'll get used to it." Yukinoshita seemed to want to say something, but then casually changed her words at the last minute.

"...Alright, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't press you. But please remember what I said before: stay optimistic. It's only two hours; things will be fine once the fog clears."

Hiratsuka Shizuka patted her on the shoulder and walked to the other side to check on the others.

......

On the weekend, a rare time to rest, Chen Yi lay in bed, not wanting to move.

I think I forgot something? Was it breakfast?

Such doubts flashed through my mind, then quickly dissipated, leaving only a faint sense of unease, which came and went just as fast.

"What time is it now..." Chen Yi muttered, reaching for his phone, taking it, and glancing at the time.

Blurry and unclear.

"How come it's already past nine o'clock... I should get up. What am I supposed to do today?" Chen Yi threw off the blanket and struggled to sit up.

Unable to move, hands and feet are weak.

Is it a bad cold? Or a fever? I don't seem to feel that bad.
