Yukino was indeed very concerned about this matter. She actually wore her school uniform and took her student ID and ID card to meet Kato Megumi's parents. As soon as she revealed her identity, she started to scold the elders.

Of course, as a lady who has received higher education and been influenced by the etiquette of the upper class, she will definitely not lose the etiquette of a junior.

After stating his purpose, he fully expressed his concern and worry for his junior and friend Kato Megumi, and only after initially winning the favor of the two elders did he begin to show his edge.

But he just listed out in an orderly manner all the responsibilities that Kato Megumi's parents had not fulfilled, clearly pointed out their shortcomings, and then suddenly dropped an incredible bombshell when they were caught in self-blame, and immediately demonstrated the power of the elements in front of them while they were stunned.

This was not enough. When Kato Megumi reappeared in front of them after sneaking away, Kitahara Sora activated the demon form at the right time. Although it was only for a few minutes, the couple was almost scared to the point of rolling off the sofa to the ground in such a short time...

It took them a long time to come to their senses and they listened carefully to Yukino's warnings about how serious the consequences would be if they told this to others. They hoped that they would report the case to Tomoya Aki's house in a few days, and when the police came, they would cooperate with Hui to find an excuse to fool them, and it would be best not to have anything to do with Tomoya Aki.

When they realized that their most important precious daughter might be in great crisis, she immediately dealt them a heavy blow to the soul, and while their three views were overturned, they immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Yukino's combination of punches directly stunned the couple, which can be said to be a very accurate control of human psychology.

In addition, both of them belong to the social elite, so it is impossible that they are unaware of the mysterious disappearances in Chiba City.

The premise of all this must be that the two elders can treat her in the right eye, even if she is of the same age as their daughter. If they really compare, although Yukino has not yet entered society, her social status is definitely much higher than that of Kato Megumi's parents. This is why Yukino carries her ID card and student ID.

Then, Kato Megumi's mother hugged her daughter and cried in pain, while Kato Megumi's father said nothing and silently lit a cigarette with red eyes...

"When did I 'scold' my uncle and aunt? - I was talking about your 'individual training'!" Yukino glared at Kitahara Sora: "After Hui returned last night, she rested directly. You let her train as soon as she confessed to her parents today. I don't object to this, but the content of the training - I don't object to it, but her condition..."

"Actually, I was planning to let you try it after your last return, but I thought you could pass it, so I let you arrange your own training."

"Really?" Xueno shook her head helplessly: "I think it's not too late to do this kind of training tomorrow, after all..."

"No, after all, I think this time is the most suitable." Kitahara Sora's expression suddenly became a little cold, and his voice was flat and without ups and downs: "Yukino, you actually did a good job. As for convincing uncle and aunt, it takes about an hour and a half for us to return to Chiba from Tokyo and then go home separately. Therefore, Hui and her parents have been together for such a long time, more than an hour is enough."

"This is when she is most vulnerable and needs her parents' comfort the most, so I asked her to wait for us here. I know this training is cruel and it may be dangerous for her in this mental state, but this time is perfect."

The training I chose for her was not a skill-based training, nor was it a physical skill training. Instead, I spent 500 points to exchange for a set of illusion training, which was different from the training mode I exchanged for points.

This kind of training is like a single-player copy. Only those who pass it are allowed to leave the illusion. The thinking and even memory of the person in training will be disturbed. In serious cases, it may even cause confusion and loss of consciousness.

All this was kept secret from Kato Megumi, who thought it was just an ordinary training. After she finished, her mother even went out to buy groceries and cook, waiting for her to return for the long-awaited family reunion.

But what Kato Megumi didn't know was that if she failed this illusion trial, she might become an idiot.

The purpose of this training was nothing but killing, forcing her to kill.

This was originally a training for the mind, and it might be most effective when her mind was at its most vulnerable. Ordinary people would never take the initiative to kill someone in their entire lives. Even if they were forced into despair, most people would not be able to do it because killing meant self-destruction.

Born in a civilized society and influenced by modern education, plus she is a delicate little girl, maybe she dares to face the aliens, she has tasted fear and despair, but she should not be able to bring despair and destruction to her own kind.

Most of the characters in anime have a heart of saints, and in certain situations they may even sacrifice themselves to save all living beings. This is not allowed in Kato Megumi. She must be a kind child. What we need to do now is to destroy the kindness in her heart.

In the training mode, she will go through three copies in total. The last two are randomly generated. She only knows that the first and easiest one is a level in the sixth game of the Modern Warfare "Call of Duty" series. Many years ago, before she played that level, the system specifically reminded her that the following plot would cause some players to be uncomfortable, and asked whether to skip it...

That special level was called "No Russian". Of course, I didn't skip it at that time. As a result, when I entered the plot, I was "stunned" by the shocking scene. After completing the level, I was stunned for a minute before I came to my senses.

Maybe it was because I was only in junior high school at the time, but no matter what, that level of Call of Duty is regarded as a classic by countless players. It allows players to experience what it means to be "hell is empty and the devils are on earth", and you are one of the devils.

After entering the training, Kato Megumi's memory will be disrupted, and she will think that she has entered a personal copy or a personal trial belonging to a team member.

Or in another world, like the alien world, she faces ordinary people like her, and the observer will give her the main task. When the task fails and she dies, she will immediately return to the dot to start over and lose the memory of the failure.

If she never passes, she will be reincarnated endlessly, endlessly...

This means that every time she fails, she has to restart with zero experience, until a new her suddenly has an epiphany, changes her thinking from the root, and starts to become positive.

Although she has no memory, she will retain her subconscious instincts. Instincts are terrible. Human beings are such despicable creatures that they can easily get used to something.

Maybe after this one time she will slowly become numb and fall into self-doubt, or even feel like she’s accustomed to death, accustomed to life disappearing before her eyes?

But if she wants to pass the mission, she has to be proactive.

In the end, she might hypnotize herself that she did this to save more lives, sacrificing a small number of people to save more people. She would wake up and realize that she must do this, so she would take the initiative to pull the trigger, and slaughter ordinary people with a gun in her hand like Makarov strolling in the garden. She is an undercover agent, so she cannot be suspected, and she must not let go even the elderly and children.

She cannot be lazy because she needs to gain the trust of her companions. She will kill women, security guards, men, women and even most people between the ages of 8 and 60. She wants to kill as many as possible and massacre ordinary unarmed people, even though she saw the most glorious scene of human nature in the previous game.

She witnessed Mr. Druid's great and resolute eyes, but she couldn't survive if she didn't kill people like Sebastian. She wanted to survive.

However, the mission still ends with death, being killed by her own 'companion'. Only then will she suddenly realize that her identity as a spy has actually been discovered long ago.

My hands are stained with sins that cannot be washed away, and I cannot bring salvation to most people...

In fact, this is not the cruelest thing. After passing the trial, all her memories of previous failures will be "returned" to her. In fact, passing the task is the most challenging test of a person's will.

This training may become Kato Megumi's "inner demon".

"I'm going back."

Yukino sighed softly. Although she had not spent much time with Kato Megumi, she had already accepted the junior who was one year younger than her. Perhaps it was because she and Kato Megumi were the only two women on the official team, but this trial was too cruel. It would slowly turn an ordinary girl into a cold machine accustomed to killing, or directly destroy her.

"Go back, I'll wait for her to come out." Kitahara Sora suddenly stared at Yukino intently, and after a long pause, he continued, "If she really can't pass the trial and is disabled, then you can try this mode tomorrow."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and repeated what she had just said: "Then I'll go back first."

"Yukino doesn't have anything else to do, right?"

"My sister is annoying sometimes. To be honest, there was a time when I really hated her."

There was a hint of helplessness on Yukino's face. She didn't care at all about Kitahara Sora's suggestion that if Kato Megumi failed, she could try this trial tomorrow. Instead, her expression looked very relaxed. After Kitahara Sora said that, her mood seemed to have suddenly improved a lot.

"Since my sister knew about my ability, she bought a set of ice cream molds from the supermarket, and then took out jam and milk and insisted on eating the ice cream I made." She held her forehead with her hand, looking like she couldn't stand it: "Sometimes I really don't know whether she is the older sister or I am the older sister."

Yang No has this kind of lively personality. Although she looks mature and steady in front of outsiders, she doesn't need to pretend at all in front of her favorite sister. Yang No hopes that Yukino will act like a spoiled child in front of her, but how can Yukino act like a spoiled child with her personality? It's good enough that she doesn't find her annoying.

But this time, their relationship has made unprecedented progress. Yukino doesn't even find her annoying, and she no longer treats her with a poker face that says "no strangers allowed".

So she became a little "explosive". Yang Noyi gritted her teeth and changed her strategy. Since her sister didn't act coquettishly, she had no choice but to completely give up her face and act coquettishly to her sister.

But what is the method? Then she came up with a brilliant idea to ask the wizard to make ice cream for her!

The wizard actually agreed!

As expected of Yang No!

"Make it and bring me one too."

After Yukino glared at him and her figure slowly disappeared, Kitahara Sora once again fixed his gaze on Kato Megumi's tightly closed wooden door, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to walk over.

He leaned against the door and waited quietly for the wooden door to make a low friction sound. If Kato Megumi could not pass this trial and went crazy, then there would be no chance to spend points to let the observer repair his thinking nerves. After all, if he died in his personal closed space, even Kitahara Sora would not have the right to enter. If he did not get rescued in the most critical moment, he would be directly declared dead.

It is free to repair your body after returning from a mission, but if you get injured in sparring in the game space, you will need to spend extra points to repair it. Not only is it expensive, but when a person loses consciousness, the observer will not deduct points for repair by default.

There's no way, the child's matched profession is a thief. It would be fine if she was a priest or any other profession, but she is a thief. Therefore, she has to appear more ruthless than Yukino, otherwise there will be problems sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Kitahara Sora suddenly felt a little sleepy. After coming back yesterday, he went to work without saying a few words to Lingyin. After coming back from Tokyo, he came to the game space again. He decided to take a nap.

In a daze, Kitahara Sora closed his eyes.

When he fell asleep, the wooden door creaked open slowly, and a slender figure walked out of the tree house.

She slowly walked out of the door, looking indifferently at the beautiful environment around her, lowered her head slightly, and found Beiyuan Kong who was sleeping soundly.

With a flip of her slender palm, a blanket appeared in her hand. She gently covered the man with it without waking him up. Her figure gradually dimmed and she left the game space.

Her mother was still waiting for her to eat.

Chapter 8 I want to live until that day

The night in the Emerald Dream is hazy, quiet and silent.

The bright white moonlight replaced the sun's rays, shining through the lush leaves onto the green grass, and giving the colorful and dazzling flowers and plants a layer of silver glow.

From time to time, the chirping of unknown insects can be heard by my ears, with a rhythmic rise and fall, light and pleasant, which makes people feel comfortable.

The blanket decorated with pink flowers had slipped down to his knees at some point, but it was just right to cover his knees because Kitahara Sora didn't want to reach out to pick it up and cover himself again.

Because he was leaning against the roots of the ancient tree, and the petite girl was leaning against him.

The short-haired child was wearing a light blue bubble pajamas. It looked like she had just come into this world in the bedroom after taking a bath. Maybe she hadn't slept yet, or maybe she had just woken up. Her big dark eyes reflected the flawless moonlight, staring blankly at the gurgling stream in the distance. The water surface was calmer than during the day, maybe the fish had also rested.

When they just came back from Antarctica, everyone was wearing thick winter clothes, but no one felt hot. Now she was only wearing a cute pajamas, but she didn't feel cold either. However, the captain still covered her with a blanket, just like when she just returned from the trial mode and saw this handsome man sleeping next to her wooden door, she subconsciously wanted to pull out a dagger and stab it into his neck, and then tear his cervical vertebrae and flesh into pieces.

But she took out a blanket and covered Kitahara Sora with it, just as he covered himself with the blanket.

Kitahara Sora didn't know when she leaned on his shoulder. His relationship with her was not that close, and she shouldn't be such a casual person. In fact, she should hate him.

"Don't you hate me?"

In response to Kitahara Sora's gentle question, Kato Megumi did not answer. Her mind was clear and her pupils were bright, but she was still in a daze.

"I think you should hate me."

Kitahara Sora sighed softly and reached out to lift the blanket from his knees. Kato Megumi's head was lifted from his shoulders, her arms wrapped around her curled legs, her chin buried in her knees, leaving only half of her face exposed. The blanket was now back on its owner.

The girl let the captain wrap herself in the blanket that still retained his hot body temperature. In fact, this space was not cold. It would change according to the temperature that each person could adapt to.

Kato Megumi seemed to have gotten used to the temperature of blood, the heat and stickiness. When her hands were stained with blood for the first time, she couldn't help but retching, but was shot dead by her other "captain".

The man said that it was just an ordinary training and that she could go home to eat after the training. Then Hui started her personal trial with the determination to win and full of fighting spirit. She died countless times and killed many people. She got used to blood and death and became somewhat indifferent.

“Human beings are such vile creatures that they easily get used to things,” Fyodor Dostoyevsky said in Crime and Punishment. “My only fear is whether our lives tomorrow will be worthy of the sins we have committed today.”

"It's not the sins he has committed." Beiyuan Kong denied softly, "He's talking about the suffering he has endured."

“Is it suffering?”

Kato Huika slowly turned her head, her dark eyes fixed on Kitahara Sora who was leaning against her shoulder, "Do those humans in the illusion really exist?"

"What is real and what is fake?" Kitahara Sora's calm voice was emotionless, but Kato Megumi didn't feel any chill: "When I was a child, I played many games and killed countless little people made of data. I also deliberately separated the heads and bodies of ants when I was bored. Their struggles made me feel full of fun as a child. So, which one of them is real?"

"Most of the digital creatures I killed in the game were 'humans', while the ones I killed in reality were humble and insignificant beings. Their deaths all gave me the same feeling."

When data is personified and freed from the constraints of the script, is it real? Although I don't feel disgusted after killing someone in reality, I still have a physiological reaction. If I enter this world and kill the data character that I have tortured and killed countless times, I will also have a physiological reaction. So are they real?

"Maybe they also have joys and sorrows, as well as sadness and separation, just like your Yukino-senpai, and just like you yourself, Hui. Are you real, Hui?"

Kitahara Sora looked directly into Kato Megumi's bright and beautiful big eyes. Her pupils had a slight change from the soft feeling before, like a pool of clear spring water, reflecting her plain face. It was also like a mirror. Kitahara Sora saw herself in that mirror. She became very similar to herself, and there was a hint of indifference in her eyes.

"I thought of Mr. Sebastian. I kept thinking about him." Kato Hui said expressionlessly: "Every time I pull the trigger, I think of him."

"At first, after I agreed with the captain and senior Yukino's words, I actually kept telling myself in my heart that they were just created virtual personalities. Whether it was Sebastian, Ms. Woods, or everyone in the expedition team, I always thought they were 'puppets'. But Mr. Sebastian put on a fireworks show for me, and that fireworks show was more beautiful than any summer festival fireworks display in Japan. Later, I felt that they were people, just like us."

Kato Megumi lowered her face again, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed outside the blanket. The blanket trembled slightly, and she was shivering.

"But I killed many, many people like him in order to complete the mission."

After she finished speaking, she fell into a long silence, and Kitahara Sora did not answer, but just waited quietly. Five minutes later, Kato Megumi spoke again: "In fact, I have always felt that my life is very cheap. I don't have lofty ideals, and I am troubled by my ordinary life. I enjoy being ordinary, but I am also troubled by being too ordinary."

"I hope that one day in the future there will be someone who will appear in front of me, who will not forget me from time to time, who will remind the teacher when handing out exam papers that I have not received the papers yet, who will prepare a birthday surprise for me on my birthday, and who will be very happy even if it is just a greeting card, who will always pay attention to whether I am on the bus when we are on an outing, and who will find me in the crowd as soon as I get separated from my friends when shopping. I have always been looking forward to having such a person appear in my life."

"If he were a boy, I might like him, and if he liked me too, I would probably agree to date him."

"If she were a girl, I would definitely become her lifelong friend, - but this person never appeared." Kato Megumi looked at Kitahara Sora with eyes as clear as a spring.

This person is not the captain, because the captain forgot Kato Megumi several times, and it is not Yukino-senpai, because she also forgot Megumi twice, once when she was escaping from the Queen's pursuit, and Megumi was lying on her back, and she forgot. Another time was when the captain miraculously resurrected, and they both forgot themselves together.

"I have always been looking forward to it. In fact, my life is far from being as cheap as the word 'cheap'. I have made countless assumptions, but I never thought it would turn out like this..."

At Zakhaev International Airport, Kato Megumi walked out of the elevator leisurely, holding an M240 light machine gun that was nearly half her own weight, and pulled the trigger facing the innocent people queuing at the security checkpoint.

The gun was heavy, but she could lift it. Perhaps it was not well maintained, so she had to use more force to pull the trigger. The muzzle spit out flames that announced destruction and the end. The glass and the group of unarmed ordinary people fell faster than expected, at least much faster than the speed at which the strong wind knocked down the wheat.

Different people of different ages fell to the ground at the same time, some of them were in suits and some were dressed fashionably.

Some of them were carrying briefcases to discuss business, while others were carrying large and small bags to visit their parents. They were very kind, and even when they knew the security machine was out of order, they were not the least bit anxious. Instead, they chatted with strangers while waiting in the boring queue.

Hundreds of people fell down at the same time in no more than three seconds. They were completely different, but the blood that flowed out after they fell was the same.

The shocking red color slowly flowed out from different bodies, interweaving and converging into a color that belonged to hell.

When stepping over the corpse, Kato Megumi's feet slipped slightly on the floor tiles covered with slippery red liquid and she almost fell to the ground. Makarov turned his head in confusion, with a hint of teasing in his pupils.

Kato Megumi, who created despair, was not panicked at all. It was her first time to kill someone, but the feeling of causing destruction with her own hands seemed to have been engraved into her bones. Why was it so? She was obviously just a high school girl, why could she be so easy to kill people without changing her expression, and even follow the footsteps of the "captain" slowly towards the escalator calmly.

There is no need to worry about the lambs at the ticket office on the second floor escaping, it is just like taking a walk.

A fat guy in a blue uniform appeared in the circular mechanical sight. He mustered up the courage to stand up, but the light machine gun opened fire first, tearing his body into pieces. The bullets tore through his clothes and skin, and the broken internal organs flew everywhere.

The old man clasped his hands together, knelt on the ground and silently prayed, and the next moment, half of his head was cut off by his own burst of bullets. The beautiful woman who lost half of her body slowly crawled on the ground, and her intestines were like a brush covered with red paint, dragging a thick and wide bloodstain on the smooth white ground.

I'll spare your life, just this once, so try to live on. Put down the gun and ignore the crawling woman, but as soon as you turn around, she's like a doll with the batteries taken out, motionless.

There is a pair of young twin brothers and sisters under the seat. Kill the brother and let the sister live. Look forward to her revenge in a dozen years...

The lambs who stayed here could not decide their own fate, but the power to control the fate of others was somewhat fascinating, because I was actually on the same level as them. When did I get used to this kind of thing? I was not used to it at the beginning.

The anti-terrorist force came, they were Alpha's men, they were the guardians, but they were too late, and only 'lambs to be slaughtered' were left in the airport.

They were so weak. Why could a team of dozens or hundreds of people be defeated by four people? If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, because we have completed the mission and escaped successfully.

We were picked up by an ambulance. Makarov got on the car before Kato Megumi. He stood on the car and nodded to her, his eyes full of praise. Then the captain stretched out his hand and pulled Kato Megumi up. At that moment, the sound of a pistol was heard, and a bullet hole the size of a thumb appeared on the girl's forehead.

The only touch was the rough and cold touch of the fully enclosed tactical gloves on his hands. He recalled in his mind the serious warning before the operation began: "Don't speak Russian."
