There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"..."

Everyone in Yamada's cram school fell into a strange silence as they looked at the words on the blackboard. A faint feeling of unease spread in the air.

The mission introduction this time is very simple. It only requires the main mission to be completed and the male and female protagonists to survive. In other words, in extreme cases, the death of the male and female protagonists is acceptable. The most difficult thing is actually the existence of the Anthem Squad.

They entered the game before us! They contacted the NPCs first and arranged the tasks first. This is definitely bad news for everyone!

But why were they allowed to enter the game first? The Night Crow's intrusion in the last game was purely accidental. If it was set as an online task from the beginning, shouldn't there be two 'birth points' set up for absolute fairness so that everyone can enter the game at the same time?

Facing everyone's uneasy gazes, Kitahara Sora was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to Yukino: "Yukino, can you analyze it?"

Faced with Kitahara Sora's sudden question, Yukino was visibly stunned, "Me?"

"Yes, you come and analyze the situation about the Anthem Team and the current situation we are facing." Facing Yukino's surprised look, Kitahara Sora affirmed: "I never doubt your analytical thinking ability, and you should not ignore your own talents. Think about your own judgment and thinking in the first game."

Yukino is an extremely smart girl, with strong judgment and reasoning abilities. This was confirmed when I heard her talk about the first game on the top of Mount Fuji a few days ago.

However, in the next game, Kitahara Sora became the captain, and she subconsciously handed over the decision-making power and completely followed the arrangements.

Even so, she still has her own judgment. For example, in the Alien Pyramid, after weighing the pros and cons, she finally gave the core to the task NPC. For example, in Silent Hill, she could be 100% assured when she led the newcomers into the surface world.

'Snow Encyclopedia' is not called that for nothing.

"Let me think about it..."

Seeing Kitahara Sora's affirmative look, Yukino nodded slightly and fell into deep thought...

This shabby classroom fell into silence. Everyone stared at Yukino's flawless face. No one made a sound, as if they were afraid of disturbing her.

Yukino looks very pretty with her chin on one hand and her elbow supported by one arm, giving people a very quiet feeling.

It was not until five or six minutes later that the girl raised her head, looked at Kitahara Sora's face and said, "Then let me tell you what I think?"

Seeing the other party nod, Yukino smiled slightly and continued, "According to my guess, although the Observer, as the space administrator, often changes the plot and temporarily changes the difficulty of the game, he must be fair and just to the 'players'. He should not favor any party. Since the Anthem Team entered the game first, can we assume that we are better than them in some aspects?"

"We are better than them?" Everyone was confused when they heard this. The simple-minded Takeo Goda couldn't help but grin, but before he could be happy, he was interrupted coldly by Yukino.

"Don't be blindly happy, this is just a preliminary guess. Even if we are stronger than them, they are definitely more dangerous than us now."

"Ms. Yukinoshita, I don't understand." The big guy asked in confusion.

"Since they entered the game first, if they intend to eliminate us, they have already made full preparations." Hui's light voice came over. She leaned against the corner playing with a dagger, looking very cool.

"Mei is right, that's what I meant."

Yukino nodded slightly and continued to explain: "Everyone has seen this anime. Although the original storyline has not been completed, the most basic characters and plot camp divisions are already very clear."

"The alien spaceship crashed, and the thought data of his compatriots were stored in the 'coin'. In order to find the coins more efficiently to repair the spaceship and 'go home', he asked ordinary people to help complete the task and promised a series of benefits;

Because of this, various people joined the 'coin battle', and thus several camps were formed, so I guess the Anthem team is weaker than us, and the Observers did this so that they could use the 'plot roles' to narrow the gap between them and us."

"Does the Observer really want us to fight?" Komuro Takashi's face was a little bitter, and then his eyes gradually became firm. "Since they entered the game first, they will definitely choose to contact the strongest party first?"

This anime has a total of four main camps. The first is the protagonist camp. They belong to the "positive" camp and are trying to end the battle. However, the protagonist has not grown up yet, and the companions in their team have little combat power.

The second group is the "free-spirited faction" in the forest where the spacecraft crashed. They are led by an old man who originally had an unhappy life and sorted garbage. They collect coins "for selfish and arbitrary purposes" and commit murder and arson.

Their leader made it very clear that if everyone helped him find the coin, he would fulfill everyone's wishes, whether it was money, power, women, etc...

In fact, they are not very harmonious internally. The leader is a brutal thug to the outside world, but a true gentleman to his brothers and subordinates. It is because of the deterrent power of the old man that this group of villains can be restrained. They are currently able to crush the protagonist and his group.

The third one is the team that the heroine Hongai’s sister Jiang Lina belongs to. Their leader also wants to achieve some kind of personal gain after collecting 100 coins, but Jiang Lina and his companions are secretly trying to end this battle.

What makes them different from the protagonist is that anyone who stands in their way will be destroyed. Jiang Lina is very powerful and should not be afraid of anyone from the "Follow the Heart" in a one-on-one fight.

The last one is the big boss of this anime, a high school student named "Kaito". He has collected one hundred gold coins, and his purpose is very childish.

He plans to destroy the world in order to protect the 'girl' he likes. This person is the combat ceiling of the entire drama, but he is just a psychopath with distorted values.

"So, will the Anthem Team choose to contact the protagonists first?"

Komuro Takashi frowned and asked in confusion: "Although Kaito is very powerful in combat, he is unlikely to listen to others. Although the group of people gathered in the forest exceeded a hundred, their leader was eventually burned to death by the heroine Hong Ai. Jiang Lina is too cautious and it is impossible for her to accept them. Only the protagonists are the breakthrough point?"

Komuro Takashi's guess makes sense. None of the remaining three camps are a good choice, only the protagonist team is "full of love". Although Shuichi's combat power is not strong now, he has only unlocked the first form. In the comics, his combat power soared more than ten times after the complete fusion.

"If I were the Anthem Team..." Kitahara Sora thought for a moment, shook his head and denied it: "I wouldn't choose the protagonists."

"Eh? Isn't that right?"

Komuro Takashi was puzzled: "Although the final ending of this anime has not been written, it will definitely not be the destruction of the world, and the one who puts an end to Kaito's conspiracy must be the protagonist. He will definitely "explode" in the later stage, so choosing the protagonist is the most correct, right?"

"No, that's why you asked Yukino-senpai to analyze it." Hui shook her head briskly and said with a smile: "The premise of considering the overall situation is also to combine it with your own situation."

“What Hui said is correct.” Yukino smiled faintly and explained, “We must first assume the rules of the main mission of the Anthem Team before we start to speculate;

First of all, let's rule out the possibility that their mission is to assist Kaito in destroying the world. If that were the case, there would be no prompt to protect the hero and heroine in our mission, because they would kill Shuichi and Akai on the first day of entering this world, knowing the plot well. After all, they are still very weak now."

"Since it's not an 'evil' faction mission, then their mission must be very similar to ours, or simply to end the battle like us... But this speculation has also been ruled out. It is impossible for the observers to let two teams assist the protagonist together. If this is the arrangement, it would be unnecessary for them to enter the game first..."

Xue Noi suddenly stopped talking here, looked at everyone's expectant eyes, and smiled slightly: "Since it is not an evil option, nor is it an absolute positive option... So, I guess their main mission is a 'flexible mission'."

"Flexible mission?" Kazami Yuji couldn't help but glance at Yukino, frowning slightly and thinking.

"That's right, a flexible mission." Xueno looked at Kitahara Sora and continued, "This is a bold assumption. Assume that they can choose the main storyline by themselves, or make temporary arrangements, such as assisting any party to achieve their goals!"

Kitahara Sora suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Yukino in a daze, a gleam of admiration flashed in his pupils. Yukino was still Yukino!

"That is to say, their main storyline can be temporarily selected. They did not choose to assist the protagonist team, so we have the additional condition of protecting the protagonist. The observer automatically classified us into the protagonist camp!"

Kitahara Sora suddenly reached out and rubbed Yukino's head vigorously, "You're amazing, you can think of this!"

"Kitahara-kun, do you think I'm an idiot like you?" Yukino glared at him, slapped Kitahara Sora's hand away, and said unhappily, "Since you asked me to analyze it, I must take it seriously, but this is just my personal guess."

"Yeah, keep going, keep going."

Kitahara Sora nodded in agreement and added, "So, they chose to form an alliance with the criminals in the forest. If it were me, I would make the same choice, because Erina's goal is also to stop Kaito from protecting Shuichi. If the main plot is to kill Kaito to protect the world... In fact, the cost-effectiveness is not high. As a player, the best choice is to prioritize protecting your own life."

Yukino adjusted her mood and nodded, "Although those criminals will do anything to achieve their goals, the leader can be considered 'loyal' in a sense. The most important thing is that their goal is the easiest to achieve. Just help the leader collect 100 coins. They have a large number of people and a wide field of vision. They are the best partners."

"The reason for their failure was actually that they underestimated the enemy. In order to threaten Hong Ai to kill his companions and join them, the leader was forced to use the burning and poisonous properties of oleander to ignite the forest.

If the leader had escaped by himself, it wouldn't have been difficult, but he was burned to death while trying to save his poisoned subordinates. It's actually very simple to avoid this minefield, and the most important point is that if they can survive to the end, their combat power should not be inferior to that of Shuichi after the final transformation."

"But that doesn't make sense. If that's the case, shouldn't they have killed Shuichi and Akai? After all, there's always a risk when the protagonist is alive. From what you said, the protagonist should be a very kind and gentle person?"

"I've thought about this, maybe..." Yukino was suddenly stunned as she spoke, and looked in surprise at the young man who came up to the group. A newcomer to this game?

"Hmm?" Seeing that Yukino hadn't finished her words, the young man scratched his messy hair and immediately reacted after looking at everyone's puzzled gazes.

He pushed his heavy glasses and smiled carelessly, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aso Takuto, I'm a sophomore at Tomomayama High School, my specialty is computers or I'm a hacker, my hobbies are science fiction novels, and theoretical research on super-technological weapons?"

"Aso Takuto?" After a moment of surprise, Kitahara Sora looked at the slovenly young man with interest, "You are a bit careless. We haven't explained to you why you came here."

Hearing Kitahara Sora's slightly joking tone, a golden light suddenly flashed under Aso Takuto's heavy glasses, and he said excitedly: "Although I don't fully understand, I have found some clues from your conversation. I must have encountered some supernatural event. I was assembling robots in the studio just now, but I ended up here in the blink of an eye. I am sure I was definitely not hypnotized or anything like that. I was 'teleported'!"

He seemed to suddenly remember something and walked up to Kazama Yuji, circling around his big box absentmindedly.

"Oh, right, I just wanted to know, this gun is not made of modern technology, is it an electromagnetic weapon, or a laser weapon? The sniper scope is also in holographic projection mode. I just found that the inside of the sniper rifle was deformed after you replaced the anti-material bullets!"

He suddenly raised his head, stared at Kazami Yuji, and said excitedly: "Hey, hey, classmate, can you let me see your gun? Let me see it, I'll be satisfied if you just show it to me once more!"

Everyone stared at this madman in a daze. Even Kitahara Sora felt the urge to complain. Erfengmi Yuji looked over with an embarrassed expression. He felt the urge to beat up Aso Takuto.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Death?" Aso Takuto was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Kitahara Sora who looked indifferent. He put away his excitement, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly, "I'm afraid of death, but I don't think you will kill me."

"Why?" Kitahara Sora asked puzzledly.

"Because I should be useful to you." The young man with eyes said confidently.

"You're an interesting guy." Kitahara Sora was amused by him. This is definitely a good talent. He himself said that he is a computer expert, a hacker?

He is also quite knowledgeable about the theory of sci-fi weapons. He was assembling robots before coming here? Isn't this the kind of technological talent that the team needs?

Thinking of this, Kitahara Sora understood. After feeling Yukino's gaze, he looked at her and said, "This weapon is indeed a 'science fiction weapon'. It is an electromagnetic pulse sniper rifle. You can study it if you want, but you have to wait until we complete this mission and obtain the consent of its owner. You also have to leave here alive. Now please calm down."

"Is it really as I guessed? We came to a parallel world. Survive, survive..."

Aso Takuto rubbed his chin vigorously, then sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "Okay, let's get back to the question just now. Why did the Anthem Team choose to form an alliance with that group of people instead of just killing the 'protagonists'?"

Kitahara Sora was confused by his reaction again. This guy was really funny.

He can adjust his emotions so quickly. It is said that there is only a fine line between a madman and a genius. The logic of his behavior is incomprehensible to ordinary people. Could he be this kind of person?

Yukino was also amused by him. She pursed her lips and shook her head helplessly, saying, "There are actually two reasons why they didn't kill the protagonist. First, they are afraid that we will be 'forced' to form an alliance with Erina. You know, Hongai's sister's fighting power is only slightly weaker than Kaito's. Even if she has a weird personality, there is still a way out."

"Yeah." Aso Takuto nodded in agreement and said, "What about the second one?"

Yukino ignored this guy and continued to explain, "The second reason is that they are afraid of us. We are stronger than them. They are worried that we will be forced into a desperate situation and will become a greater threat. After all, they can convince the leader not to bother with Hongai and let the protagonists kill each other. They only need to collect coins in peace."

"Another assumption is... In fact, we were too extreme in our thinking at the beginning. If we are not in online mode, we must annihilate the enemy. The enemy will also be afraid of death. If I guess correctly, they should now consider whether to contact us and spy on the intelligence of our main mission line to measure the possibility of reaching a cooperation. They are wary of us, but they should not be afraid of us..."

Kitahara Sora nodded slightly. Yukino's analysis made sense. Assuming her guess was almost correct, then after knowing that the Anthem Team had determined the main line, the most sensible choice was not to provoke any party.

If they killed Shuichi and Akai, they would face Erina's crazy revenge.

In this way, it would be easy for the Izumo team to join forces with Erina to wipe them out, and they themselves knew that by making this choice, the Izumo team, which entered the scene later, would most likely be forced to join the protagonist's side, and this was indeed the case.

There are many ways to end the "Coin War", and helping the protagonist is indeed the most convenient way. The reason they did not kill the two protagonists was because they were afraid of offending the Izumo team.

If this is the case, they should send someone to find the Izumo team and tell them about their way of cooperation: you guys fight your battles and we collect the coins.

They can cooperate if necessary. After all, they can return after collecting 100 coins, and as a group of "follow-the-heart" people, they will definitely not let the world be destroyed.

That group of criminals also participated in this fight for their own selfish interests. They would have no use for the world being destroyed. So, even if the Anthem Team left, the remaining people could still unite.

"By the way, destroying the world all the time, high school students saving the world, etc., is too childish, with all kinds of bugs, all kinds of unreasonable settings, and the plot is also very childish..."

After complaining, Kitahara Sora asked in confusion: "Our mission is to end this conflict. Does it mean we must kill Kaito to end it? He is almost invincible, right? What are the other ways..."

But before he could finish his words, Yukino's attention was drawn to him. She suddenly touched her chin in confusion and muttered, "It's really irrational, and we definitely can't beat Kaito. I seem to have overlooked something very important. What is it..."

At this moment, a fierce gunshot was heard, and smoke came out of the muzzle of Komuro Takashi's pistol. Kitahara Haruki and the girl whose name was still unknown stood at the door in a daze, as if they were about to run away.

The air wall disappeared, and Team Izumo officially joined the game.

Xue No's beautiful big eyes suddenly opened, and she looked at the two newcomers who had sneaked away and said, "I figured out what I had overlooked, and this is very important!"

Her eyes were filled with joy, but she saw Kitahara Sora staring at his wrist in a daze with a serious face.

So he activated the bracelet, and a holographic projection that only he could see popped up, which clearly showed that the Anthem Team had a competitive score of -2.

They just lost two people, and the only way to tie the score is to kill two people from the Izumo team...

They probably don't have the habit of hoarding like the Night Crow Squad, right?

Chapter 27: Separate Actions

Everyone is at the 'Yamada Cram School'. Although it is a cram school, it is actually a nursery-like facility. The students here are children whose parents are too busy at work to take care of them, or they are simply orphans.

This is where the story begins.

The protagonist Shuichi Kadani is one of the children in care here. He has several very good friends, namely Erina, Naoto, Aiko, Shinobu and Kaito.

As time went by, after Mr. Yamada passed away, the cram school was abandoned, and these children were admitted to different middle schools, and the childhood friends were separated.

It was not until a few years later when the spaceship crashed in this small town and the only remaining alien appeared at the canal with a confused look on his face that it was Ling Xiang who discovered him first.

Through communication, the kind-hearted Tsukasa showed the alien human care and they became friends. When Tsukasa heard about the alien's experience, she enthusiastically encouraged him to find his missing companions and suggested that everyone help find the coin together. This was the opportunity for the coin battle.

Although Tsuka looks gentle, she is too cowardly and is bullied at school. It happens that her childhood friend Aiko is in the same class with her. After understanding the reason, she stands up for her, so Aiko is also bullied...

But Lingxiang has become accustomed to bullying over the years. The annoying thing is that after Aizi was bullied, he said he couldn't stand it and committed suicide!

The death of her best friend made Tsuka feel extremely guilty, so she found an alien hoping to continue living in place of Aiko. The alien agreed to her request, transferred her soul to Aiko, and buried her own body in the grave.

So, an even more bloody and explosive plot came...
