There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

After taking the spear, Beiyuan Kong clearly felt that the weight of the weapon had increased a bit. It did not feel cumbersome, but more handy. It changed its weight according to his strength.

Looking at the faint green light and lightning lingering on both ends of the spear, it means that this weapon is more powerful!

Suddenly he moved his fingers, and the glowing spear flashed an optical camouflage, gradually becoming transparent, and the green light and lightning disappeared. This visual effect can become invisible along with the spear itself, and does not reduce its concealment!

"Yukino!"

Kitahara Sora looked at Yukino in surprise, and the girl smiled faintly: "As long as you like it, I can also disassemble any useless items next time, but only for equipment above C-rank."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly put a napalm grenade and a white phosphorus grenade on the coffee table into the ring, turned her head and looked around, wondering, "Where are Aoki Hongai and Kagaya?"

“They went to school.”

"You went to school?" Yukino looked at Kobayashi Daigo in astonishment. "You still want to study in this situation? Didn't you stop me?"

"I stopped him. He refused to listen." Xiaolin Daigo smiled bitterly. "He said that the school also has collectors and they want to get more information or something."

"Hmm - I see." Yukino frowned, then shook her head, "It's good that they're not here. At least there are some things they can't hear."

She turned her gaze to Kitahara Sora, "So you arranged for Kei to watch over them?"

"No, I let Hui act freely." Kitahara Sora shook his head and said, "Actually, I thought about it for a while last night, but my thoughts were not very clear. But I am sure that the probability of Di Rang attacking them is not high."

Seeing Yukino's serious look, Kitahara Sora immediately understood and said seriously: "Mei has her headset on, so just say whatever you want to say."

She must have communicated something last night. Seeing her like this, he must have guessed something. Kitahara Sora's words made Kobayashi Daigo and Kazami Yuji also take it seriously.

At this time, Hui's voice also came over, "I have my headset on, Yukino-senpai, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"Okay, we are in the western part of Yamagata Prefecture in this world. I need you to check the situation of the 'Sixth Division of the Self-Defense Forces' immediately. The Sixth Division is stationed in 'Kami-machi', only 61 kilometers away from us. It is the closest armed force here. If I'm not mistaken, you may find the blocked road when you leave the town - sneak over and find their newly built base -"

Yukino said a lot in one breath, and the three grown men stared at her without blinking. After a few seconds, Hui's reply came through the headset.

"received."

Then there was silence again...

"What did you think of that?" Seeing his frown, Bei Yuankong said, "I also tried to think about it in this direction, and speculated in this direction. For the time being, there are still a few points that I can't figure out..."

"What are you talking about?" Xiaolin Daigo asked in confusion, "Aren't we trying to avoid military forces?"

"It's not about avoiding them, but we are actually in danger."

Kitahara Sora shook his head helplessly and explained: "Remember when I first started complaining about the bugs in this anime? In fact, it's not just this anime. Many works have a common problem. The author is unable to control the larger world view, so the scenes depicted are very small, which makes people feel 'crowded' and awkward."

Looking at the two people in confusion, Kitahara Sora continued: "The pattern, the small pattern is the biggest bug of this anime. The observer fixed this bug at the beginning!"

'Limited vision' is a common problem of many comic book authors, just like in Naruto, after N years of fighting, the combat power has collapsed and the fighting is just a battle between a few villages. The author's vision is too narrow, which makes people feel awkward.

The same goes for this anime. The author deliberately downplays the military, police, and irrelevant people in order to better unfold the battle, but each copy created by the observer is an independent world!

Even before, Yukino had exploited a bug and given the core to a plot character, which means that these NPCs are living people just like everyone else, and they can also enter the game space.

Since they are living people, this is an independent world with a normal running trajectory. How can such a crucial thing be so easily ignored?

"So Miss Yukinoshita asked Miss Kato to go to the 6th Division of the Self-Defense Forces because..." Kobayashi Daigo's eyes slowly widened, and a bad premonition grew in his heart.

"You're right." Yukino nodded helplessly, "Remember the alien who threatened Kagaya, Erina and the others in the plot? He said that he hoped the participants would keep it a secret. He didn't want to attract attention, otherwise he would resist in his own way."

"That is to say, the aliens in the normal world are not invincible, and neither is Kaito. We can deal with most monsterized humans with modern weapons. There is no reason why the aliens don't know this. The reason he is threatening is because he is also afraid, afraid of the original power of this world, afraid of the army and the country."

"In this way, we can infer..." Yukino took a deep breath, "The government knew about this battle from the beginning. As for the alien technology... they chose to 'turn a deaf ear'. This town is actually..."

Kazami Yuuji suddenly opened his eyes wide, Kobayashi Daigo was also stunned, and only Kitahara Sora replied in a weak tone: "This town may be a testing ground."

"Testing ground!?" Xiaolin Daigo said in surprise: "It's impossible. There are so many normal people living here. They can't possibly..."

"Nothing is impossible. In the face of the mysterious technology that changes the world, everything is in vain."

Xue No shook her head, her eyes became sharp, and her tone became a little indifferent, "Maybe the alien is being monitored by the government, and there must be government personnel among those collectors."

Xue No took out her phone from her pocket and shook it. "I checked the situation of this town with my phone last night. Since a year ago, residents of this town have been moving away one after another. The government has abnormally introduced a series of welfare policies, but they are only for this town.

There are various preferential treatments, or apartments with high cost performance in the city are sold at ridiculously low prices. The companies where the office workers work also provide benefits to employees in this area, and various reasons are used to encourage them to settle in the prosperous city.

Most of those who left were ordinary people, and those who did not leave, except for some elderly people and other people with special reasons, were the "collectors".

...And I learned that the school in this small town has apparently merged classes, and many students have transferred away. The reason why Kagaya and Akai didn't notice anything unusual is because their memories had been modified. In fact, the population of this small town was originally small.

There is also evidence. Yesterday, the Shinkansen suddenly began maintenance, and the road near the mountain collapsed. A huge rock destroyed the road surface and is being repaired. There are only these two roads to leave here. Both accidents happened after we entered yesterday and did not arouse people's vigilance. What can this prove..."

"This means that they have begun to block this place. Assuming my guess is correct, network communications will also experience problems starting today."

As Xueno was talking, she suddenly looked at her phone. Sure enough, the full signal suddenly became only one bar, and then started to rise again. The signal began to jump back and forth between poor and excellent.

"So that's how it is." Kitahara Sora sighed.

I finally understand why the police are so slow to deal with death and murder cases. I finally understand why the death of Shizuka was directly concluded to be suicide. The deaths of Erina's parents and Kagaya's parents were also defined as suicides. If this is the case, everything makes sense.

The collectors must be people from the government, and they must be the ones handling the bodies.

"Why do you dare to conclude that it was the government that did it? There must be other reasons. This has to do with the 'alien'."

Yukino thought for a moment and continued, "This anime gives me a very 'magical' feeling, out of touch with reality. The enhanced people have all kinds of superpowers like ghosts and gods. Actually, this makes sense..."

"…They are not ghosts or gods. The series of changes in their bodies are all caused by the transformation of their own flesh cells. In other words, the aliens' technology is beyond the biological technology known on Earth. Take Jiang Lina as an example. She can turn into a ball of black mist.

But the comics also explain that those are all her hair. If she is locked in an absolutely claustrophobic space, she will become blind and can be easily defeated or even killed. "

"There is a centipede-like worm inside Kaito's body. Is that also an alien creature, or an active cell beyond our cognition? ... The aliens did not swap the souls of Tsukasa and Aiko at all, they just changed Tsukasa's body into Aiko's appearance... In fact, the bones and hair that Kaito took belonged to Aiko, and the monster he resurrected should have Aiko's genes."

"Ms. Yukinoshita, what you mean is that the military wants to obtain the aliens' technology, so they allow this fight? They want an experimental subject, that is, to see what kind of power a hundred coins can be exchanged for without alerting the alien life, and whether it can be used in the military and in combat?"

Kazami Yuji thought for a moment and continued, "Currently, only Kaito has that kind of power, but he looks like an uncommunicative idiot, so they are waiting for the birth of the second super human?"

"That's right." After nodding, Yukino tapped on her phone again, but the signal was a little poor at this time. She waited for almost half a minute before she held the phone upright to show everyone.

The screen was showing the news from two years ago: a huge meteorite fell into the primeval forest in the western part of Yamagata Prefecture, and the forest was subsequently blocked by the government.

The news also included a candid photo of a meteor. It looked like a meteor, and you wouldn’t know it was a spaceship just by looking at the surface…

"Alien technology capable of interstellar travel is far more advanced than Earth's civilization, and the fact that they can evade satellite radars is also explainable. The government has discovered this secret, and in order not to attract the attention of the international community, it can only carry out this series of operations. Although it will be discovered sooner or later, if their country takes the lead, it will also change the world situation. Perhaps they are also waiting for the aliens to repair the spacecraft? But this project has been going on for almost two years, and they can't wait any longer."

After listening to Yukino's explanation, Kitahara Sora thought about it seriously and asked, "In other words, they waited so long because they didn't want to anger the alien because it still holds the most crucial thing. They didn't try to confess because they were afraid of causing a backlash from it..."

As he thought about it, Kitahara Sora finally figured it out and said quickly, "I know what kind of defense the Anthem team has done in the past three days!"

Yukino suddenly smiled, "That's what I'm going to say next."

Chapter 37: The Beginning of the Collapse of Humanity

"I couldn't figure out why Dirang could threaten Jiang Lina, until I overlooked one point." Looking at everyone concentrating, Xue Nai paused and continued, "That is the mission and rules."

"Missions and rules?"

"Yes, the mission and rules." Yukino looked at the confused Kazami Yuji and nodded slightly, "Recall the rules of the last mission, the Silent Hill mission."

Missions you've experienced, and rules? Kazami Yuji frowned, but then shook his head.

At this time, Beiyuankong suddenly explained: "We have experienced two more missions than you. The observers will not set particularly strict rules and constraints. The most severe punishment is to be 'erased', but this is only to restrict the players from entering the 'plot'. Whether it is the death of the main character or revealing the secrets of space to them, it will only deduct points!"

Having said that, Kazami Yuji's eyes gradually brightened.

"So that's how it is!" Kobayashi Daigo also suddenly understood, but then hesitantly said, "Ms. Yukinoshita and the captain mean..."

"That's probably the reason. Other than that, I can't think of any other conditions that can threaten Jiang Lina."

Yukino said softly, "Dirang lied to Yuan from the beginning. The two members of the Anthem Team's 'cultivation' were not all killed by Jiang Lina. He may have made a promise to them that they could be 'regularized' if they completed the mission."

"I guessed before that the mission of the Anthem Squad is simple, but in order to avoid accidents, they will take a series of defensive measures. If it were me, since I guessed the secret of this world, I would also choose to contact the military cautiously.

Since their purpose is to deceive the whole world and get priority in obtaining alien technology, the Anthem Team can just help the military to strengthen Madoka into a superman. If I am right, one of them was killed by the military."

"Killed by the military?" Xiaolin Daigo thought for a moment, shook his head and denied it: "This reason seems a bit far-fetched. I don't think they would tell the military this secret. Since they have reached a cooperation, why would the military kill the contact person?"

"No, it's not far-fetched."

At this time, Kazami Yuji explained with a serious face: "I grew up in a foreign army. Under the premise of top secrets, no army will contact unknown people. Maybe he was shot before he even got close to the base. The sentry will only shoot after issuing a warning and will not listen to any of your excuses."

"How could that happen..."

"That should be it. A corpse can also carry a lot of information." Kitahara Sora nodded and said, "The victim should have a lot of key items on him, and the soldiers will definitely check his body after he was shot."

"That's right." Yukino nodded and added, "He should have communication tools, paper documents, or super-sci-fi items that can arouse the interest of the military."

She took out her UMP9 from the ring and shook it in her hand. "A firearm with unlimited bullets only requires a small amount of points. Such a cheap thing is beyond their cognition. Assuming they are conservative, they can also put napalm grenades that do not exist in reality on the victim."

"We found out two members of the Anthem Team had died after we entered the game yesterday. They should have died three days ago. Since the first day the Anthem Team entered, Di Rang has been keeping in touch with the military without Yuan's knowledge. Since yesterday, the town has been in a semi-closed state, which means the military has already started to take action as soon as we entered."

"While contacting the military, Dijang sent another victim to find Jiang Lina. Her purpose was simple, which was to end this battle and protect her beloved sister and Shuichi. What if Dijang told her the secrets of the world and the military conspiracy?"

Xiaolin Daigo murmured, "In this way, the threat to her is not Dirang, but the country!"

Dijang and Erina say that the Anthem Team will join their fight and assist one person to get that power first, and Kaito will be handed over to the person they assist.

But in a few days, people similar to the Anthem Squad will enter this world. Their purpose is currently unknown, and it is not clear whether they are enemies or friends. Assuming you cooperate with them, Dirang will tell them not to contact Shuichi and Akai, let Erina and the others keep their secrets secret, and promise to let the two protagonists leave this place.

If they don't cooperate, Dirang will not care about the life and death of the two protagonists, and the Izumo team will most likely come into contact with Shuichi and Akai, and they will definitely be involved in the dispute. In this way, the Izumo team will naturally become hostile to Erina.

And Di Rang should have threatened her, telling Jiang Linai that he had reached a cooperation with the army, and that you are all experimental subjects. If you want the people you cherish to survive, you have to listen to me.

She was also warned not to try to escape, as they were all experimental subjects and Dirang could hand over their information to the military at any time, and the government would not let the guinea pigs escape.

So, you have to help me kill them!

Because of this, Jiang Linai was afraid of Di Rang but also wanted to kill him. The liaison officer should be the victim of her anger.

Jiang Lina probably didn't give a clear answer. Is she someone who can be threatened? She should have been thinking about giving up on stopping this fight and how to leave this town with Shuichi and Hongai.

She knew Hongai and Shuichi's personalities, so what reason did she have to contact them? The truth certainly could not be told.

Should I tell Xiuyi that Hongai killed his parents? Should I tell Hongai that she thought her parents were disgusting, so I, as her sister, fulfilled her wish and killed her parents myself?

In other words, while Kitahara Sora was looking for Erina, she was also looking for the Izumo team. She even began to consider cooperating with the Izumo team behind Dirang's back.

But what was unexpected was that the Izumo team told all the secrets to Akai and Shuichi on the first day they entered.

This is why Erina came to snipe Xiao and Takeo, and Naoto came to chase Kitahara Sora and Yukino. In their eyes, the Izumo team did "stupid and unnecessary things" and dragged Shuichi and Akai into this conspiracy that they could not extricate themselves from. All of this was within Dirang's calculations.

"Jiang Linai is just the simplest first-tier defense. Dirang's initial plan was to assume a war would break out. She would be the best test person. If she could suppress us, there would be no need to use the last resort. Assuming this situation happens, even if she joins forces with us, it is impossible to defeat the army of a country..."

After Kitahara Sora finished speaking, he paused and asked in confusion: "This doesn't make complete sense. Assuming that they reached a cooperation agreement with the military from the beginning, why would they still plan to cooperate with us? Just...Okay, I understand."

At the beginning, Di Rang just wanted to complete the task simply. The reason for such a complicated arrangement was to ensure that nothing could go wrong. They chose to help Yuan, but after the war, Yuan might become a burden to them.

And it is impossible for the government to trust them from the beginning. They should have been studying the science fiction props that Dirang gave them during these three days.

"This is the last resort. Kitahara-kun said before that we are in danger now, which is true, but even if the army comes to encircle us, we can't make any big moves."

Yukino glanced at Kitahara Sora, then looked at Kobayashi Daigo who looked a little worried, and consoled him, "Everything needs logic. I guess they don't completely trust Dirang. After all, we are the same kind of people as Dirang. They have reason to believe that we also have supernatural technology, so they will naturally weigh the pros and cons. They should be more cautious. After all, this is a 'modern society'."

In modern society, everything requires logic, and nothing can be rushed.

Just like the island nations in this world need to develop quietly without telling the rest of the world and cannot act rashly, every country in the world now has spies from other countries. Even large-scale mobilization of troops will cause speculation, let alone larger military operations.

In order not to arouse suspicion, the government should mobilize troops in batches over the next year or so, and establish an experimental base, which all takes time.

Besides, the biggest variable is the alien, is it the law of the dark forest? They are eager to obtain technology but are also wary of it. They dare not contact it in the name of the official and help it repair the spacecraft because they are afraid of this.

Aliens are the starting point of everything. The government has only just started studying mutant humans. When they have finished studying this kind of thing, they will probably take action against the aliens.

This is also one of the reasons why Kaito was able to survive so long. After all, that idiot occupied the central area where the spacecraft crashed, preventing the collectors from collecting data too quickly, thus delaying the time for the aliens to repair the spacecraft and buying time for the military to develop and research.

Assuming that what the alien said was true and the data of their ethnic group was really compressed in the coin, then the government should also be trying to crack the data.

In this case, even if the military agrees to Di Rang's proposal, it is impossible for them to encircle and suppress the Izumo team on a large scale. After all, there are still many ordinary people in this small town, unless Di Rang can bring them greater benefits.

But judging from the fact that they are now closing off the town and preparing to block the signal, they are indeed preparing to take action. There is a 50% chance that it will be a tentative attack, and a 50% chance that they will send someone to make contact.

That's why Yukino asked Hui to look for the '6th Division of the Ground Self-Defense Force', which is the closest unit to here.

"At the end of the day, they just wanted to complete the mission safely at the beginning. Assuming the subsequent plan is to annihilate us, they must have full confidence. How can we force the other party to annihilate us wholeheartedly?"

“This touches upon a paradox.”

Yukino suddenly laughed bitterly, "The government hopes to obtain alien biotechnology, and this test site was set up for this purpose, but for more than a year, only Kaito and the monsters he created have this power, and they are all in a non-negotiable state;

The government wants Kaito to delay the aliens from getting all the data back, but his presence also hinders another plan. For this reason, the role of the Anthem Team is very important.

Their mission is to help Yuan, but they are also using him. What if the government knows Dirang's intentions, and after we go to war, he tells the government that we will kill 'Experiment No. 1'?"

“In that case…” Kobayashi Daigo was stunned.

At this time, Kazami Yuji's eyes also became serious. No matter what, with the current strength of the team, they can't fight against the power of the country, right?

"I didn't think so much yesterday. Maybe I was thinking in the wrong direction from the beginning because I ignored the original power of this world, which is the biggest loophole of this comic."
