Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 181 The Witch Unlocks

Haruko Fukushima is doomed to die. This is the consensus of all the senior members. No member will object to killing her directly.

That's why Shoko said directly the first time she found her that she would do it herself and kill Haruko Fukushima by looking into her eyes.

Killing a teammate does deduct 1000 reward points.

But in Shoko's opinion, the benefits of publicly punishing the traitor in front of all members will be far more than just 1000 reward points.

This means that the East China Sea team, a reincarnation team formed by the dangers within the reincarnation world and the entanglements of interests in the main god space, will officially enter the next stage.

Although there is still a long way to go before they can rely on each other for life and death, there will always be more trust between each member when facing difficult enemies in the future.

Moreover, having her, a native of the island country, take action can also prevent Xu Feng, an "outsider", from attracting hatred.

Even if Hideki Sawada holds a grudge against this incident in the future, it will be difficult for him to split the entire team for this reason.

Just as Fukushima Haruko commented on her, she was sacrificing her own interests to 'stitch' the Tokai team together.

Xiangzi did not take action immediately in order to highlight Xu Feng's authority as captain. He planned to wait until Xu Feng returned to the island before taking action.

But she didn't expect that the first time Xu Feng came back, Sawada Hideki actually made that suggestion.

After that, Shoko knew that what she wanted to do would fail.

Every senior member of the Tokai team present could see what Sawada Hideki was thinking... He was looking for a chance for Fukushima Haruko to survive. The so-called creation of awakened people for other reincarnations was the bargaining chip he took out to seek a chance for Fukushima Haruko to survive.

This is a very cheating bargaining chip.

Most people know that this is just a "pie in the sky" and difficult to achieve, but no one is willing to refuse this bargaining chip.

If we really reject his proposal, it may seem like just tearing up the "pie in the sky" on paper, but in the eyes of others it will become an act that harms the overall interests of the team.

If at certain special times, people in the team criticize you, this unfulfilled "pie in the sky" will become a real pie in the sky in the mouths of others, and it will be difficult to explain whether you are right or wrong.

There is no doubt that Hideki Sawada's behavior has deeply connected himself with Haruko Fukushima.

Originally, only one person who deserved the death was needed.

Now, he would likely die with it.

And every senior member of the Donghai team present also knew that Xu Feng's decision to ignore this matter for a short period of time was to give Sawada Hideki, a talented player, a chance to make a new choice.

Should he sever his ties with his disciples and join the team, or should he die with his disciples...

Before his captain 'wakes up', you still have a chance to choose again.

He pointed out his distrust of the master and apprentice in front of everyone and asked Shoko to monitor them. He was telling Sawada Hideki: It is difficult for you to save people, so you might as well give up.

From another perspective, even with such a huge obstacle, Sawada Hideki still chose to save his student who made mistakes repeatedly. Then, no matter how talented or valuable he is, no one else in the team will plead for him, including Renbang, who has the best relationship with him.

——When evaluating him in that situation, we cannot just look at him for himself.

After Xu Feng entered the base to rest, the other members of the Donghai team also dispersed one after another.

Shoko has to carry out the task of monitoring the master and apprentice.

She knew very well that in the process of monitoring Haruko Fukushima's master and disciple, the master and disciple themselves were not the focus.

The most important thing is the twin goddess statues transformed by Claire and Denise.

As long as there is no problem with this pair of "hacks", all other problems have a chance of being solved.

Xu Feng did not let Xiangzi deal with this matter.

The first thing he did when he returned to this continent was to send Tifa to guard the Twin Goddesses statue.

Next are the Black Twins Alicia and Bitsy.

After thinking about it, Xiangzi asked Galadia, who had returned to the base camp with Xu Feng, to accompany the sisters.

In a sense, this plot character who has fought alongside them for more than ten days is more trustworthy than some of their teammates.

Shoko herself planned to stay with the twins for the next few days.

She felt that she still needed to confirm one thing - there was definitely something wrong with Fukushima Haruko, but that little girl Suzuki Ayane might not be completely without any bad intentions!
Fukushima Haruko was able to take the Black Twins out of the base thanks to Suzuki Ayane!
The most likely reason is deception, but there is also a very small chance that the two people are in collusion.

She would not look down on the little girl just because of her young age.

After all, Suzuki Ayane has a dual personality.

Shoko decided to find out what the two personalities of the little girl were like before returning to the main god space, and whether they would become a hidden danger to the team.

Finally, there is the ordinary greatsword warrior.

The strength of these soldiers and trainees is not very strong, and they may not be able to defeat Xu Feng even if they join forces.

But they all have the potential to become awakened.

Shoko wouldn't underestimate a top-tier scientific researcher. Sawada Hideki and Fukushima Haruko might have developed a potion that could induce the Great Sword Warriors to awaken, awakening all 200-plus trainees at once...

In the following time, Shoko will find some things for these greatsword warriors to do.

So that they have no chance to interact with the master and disciple.

the other side.

Fukushima Haruko, who was sorting the demon's flesh and blood, suddenly looked towards the door: "You... want to kill me now? Are you eager for revenge?"

"No, I just don't want to see another idiot hurting the people who truly care about me. If you have any true feelings for him, your best choice now is to commit suicide immediately." Mei Sakurai said in a cold voice.

Fukushima Haruko turned her head and said expressionlessly, "Wanting to live, isn't that human nature?"

"It turns out you've never cared about Professor Sawada!" Mei Sakurai's face turned cold.

She squeezed her bow: "The one who should be punished is the one who really made the mistake!"

"Hehe... I'm actually being punished." Fukushima Haruko moved slowly, smiling. "If you kill me now, you'll be harming the team's interests! Is it really okay to create another rift between you and the team just to kill someone like me who's doomed to die?"

"Shameless!" Fukushima Haruko's words made Sakurai Mei even more angry.

"Think about it carefully." Fukushima Haruko walked out of the room: "After all, even if you kill me, you can't save Mr. Sawada."

There is another room not far from this room.

Renbang also found Sawada Hideki who was preparing for surgery.

"Is it necessary to go to such lengths for a woman of such poor character?"

He looked reluctant: "Even if you die for her, she may not remember you!"

"Maybe." Sawada Hideki sighed.

"I'm sorry, I wasted the two side plots you gave me, and I can't fulfill my promise to you. If I have the chance, I will give you as much as I can."

Renbang sighed, "Alas, how could I possibly want to accept a side storyline like this?!"

"Besides..."

In the end, he didn't say what he wanted to say, and instead said, "I guess, in the reincarnation world, we might experience some worlds where teammates can be resurrected. If you wake up next time... can you forget that person?"

Sawada Hideki was stunned for a moment, then finally smiled and shook his head: "Probably."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Renbang glanced at Haruko Fukuda, sighed deeply, and left.

In the operating room.

The master and disciple were silent for a long time.

"The materials I've prepared for you should give you extremely powerful potential, but at most they can only give you the power to escape from here." Sawada Hideki spoke first. "After awakening, leave here immediately. It's best to leave this island and go to the war-torn continent..."

"I'll stay here and create Awakeners for the veterans. Since those Awakeners can be turned into bonus points and side plots, the veterans probably won't hunt you down right away." "This is a very magical world. With your knowledge, you should be able to carve out a niche for yourself in this world."

…………

Sawada Hideki said tirelessly.

While explaining his plan, he injected anesthetic into Haruko Fukushima's body.

"sorry."

Before falling into a coma, Haruko Fukushima uttered those last few words.

Five hours later.

Hideki Sawada also sewed the heart taken from Dajian's body into Haruko Fukushima's body.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He is not young anymore, and this large-scale operation is not only a technical job but also a physical job for him.

at this time.

Hideki Sawada discovered that Haruko Fukushima's body began to grow bigger.

In just a moment, it turned into a giant awakened being with the upper body of a human woman and the lower body of a spider.

"Is it about to awaken? It seems the potential of that transformation material is even greater than I expected."

Fukushima Haruko stretched out her two huge forelimbs and stroked Sawada Hideki's cheek: "Teacher... I... I'm so hungry!"

Sawada Hideki froze: "Haruko... please leave here quickly!"

Fukushima Haruko drooled: "Hehehe, teacher, are you scared? But I'm really hungry!"

Before she could finish her words, the spikes on her forelimbs had already pierced Sawada Hideki's chest and pulled out his heart and liver.

There was an expression of extreme joy on his face.

"Idiot, run away!"

Sawada Hideki squeezed out the last few words with despair in his eyes.

His last words were stuck in his mouth, unable to be uttered: "It doesn't matter if I die, but from now on there will be no one to delay time for you!"

His plan to save his students can only be implemented if he himself survives!

Only if he survives can he fight to help the veterans get more side stories.

In other words, he was using his own life to atone for the sins of his students.

but now……

Everything Hideki Sawada did no longer had any meaning.

"Run away?"

Fukushima Haruko devoured her food. "Why should I run away? With just those senior experts? They might not be my match! Hehe... It seems like those senior experts all exude a particularly tempting scent. Maybe it's because of the enhancements they mentioned in the main divine space... If I can eat them, I'll probably become even stronger."

As he spoke, his entire body was squeezed out of the operating room.

Her first target was Mei Sakurai, who was closest to here.

Fukushima Haruko tore open the door with her two front legs and smashed the wall beside it. She said with a smile: "Damn witch, didn't you want to kill me before? Now I'm in front of you, come and do it!"

"Hopeless fellow!"

Mei Sakurai took a deep breath and opened her bow.

The arrow shot out like a meteor.

Haruko Fukushima did not dodge or evade, but used her two front limbs to block the enchanted arrow.

Then, her forelimbs were instantly crushed into powder.

The whole person couldn't help but scream in pain: "It hurts so much, damn it, I'm going to cut you into pieces!"

It swung its second pair of spider legs, piercing the door frame and scratching cracks on the wall.

But because of the obstruction of the wall, the speed of her forelimbs became extremely slow after continuously slowing down.

Mei Sakurai concentrated her attention and dodged the seemingly fierce attack with a roll.

She murmured softly, "I've always hated myself... I hated my ability, I hated these eyes that could see death but was powerless to stop it, I hated myself for causing trouble because of that ability and not having the courage to face the consequences..."

She steadied herself and shot another arrow.

This arrow hit Haruko Fukushima's lower abdomen. The special attack on the enchanted arrow easily destroyed half of Haruko Fukushima's lower abdomen.

"What kind of bow and arrow is this? Why is it so powerful? Your physical fitness is obviously only slightly better than that of an average person."

Haruko Fukushima didn't understand.

In her opinion, except for the mysterious captain, everyone in this team is just a group of weaklings.

All we rely on is the mecha.

But how could a seemingly ordinary little girl actually shoot such a powerful arrow? !
Mei Sakurai didn't answer her question.

In her opinion, the awakened one that Fukushima Haruko transformed into was very weak. His physical fitness was decent and could barely be compared with ordinary awakened ones, but he had almost no combat experience. In a real life-and-death fight, he could probably compete for the weakest awakened one.

Compared with the most powerful high-level awakeners she had ever faced, such as Kronos and Octavia, she was extremely weak and could be easily killed in seconds by those strong ones.

The only reason Fukushima Haruko was able to force her into this embarrassing situation was because she was not wearing power armor or mecha.

Facing Haruko Fukushima's angry regenerated forelimbs and the tentacles that grew from the tail, the attack was launched together.

Mei Sakurai stared intently at the Spider Awakener at the door, recalling the feeling of sneaking up on Chronos and escaping from the three high-level Awakeners in the space capsule...

She first experienced that feeling during the attack on Davy Jones's Chest in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, but she has been unable to recreate it during her subsequent training in the Lord's Dimension.

It wasn't until a few days ago when he managed to sneak attack Kronos that he once again rediscovered that feeling of approaching the limits of the human body, as if everything around him had slowed down.

When she escaped death from the three awakened ones, she not only felt that feeling again, but also vaguely realized that after that state of near-limit explosion, there was an indestructible barrier. It seemed that only a strong enough will could overcome that "obstacle".

Now it seems that she actually feels that it was the mecha she was wearing at the time that gave her a false sense of security.

She didn't feel the danger was big enough.

Faced with the tentacle attack that almost covered the entire room, Mei Sakurai advanced instead of retreating.

She moved her feet slightly and narrowly avoided several tentacles.

Then, she pulled out the last three enchanted arrows from the quiver, put them on the bow and shot them out in succession.

It was as if there was no aiming at all.

Of the three arrows, one pierced through the neck of Fukushima Haruko's human body, one pierced through the head of her spider body, and one penetrated the connection point between the human body and the spider body.

"Why...why are you so strong?"

Haruko Fukushima's head was flying in the air, and she felt extremely unwilling.

Obviously, in her opinion, this senior was very, very weak...

Mei Sakurai lowered her eyes: "You have too much of my shadow in you... You ignore the love of others. The closer the people are, the more you ignore their feelings. You only care about yourself and feel sorry for yourself. Your heart is as high as the sky, but your life is as fragile as paper..."

"But, as annoying as I am, at least I won't kill someone who cares about me with my own hands!"

"Thank you... The appearance of someone like you made me realize that I am still a human being!"
