Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"Senior, please allow me to atone for my sins with my merits. I will follow your orders and assist in eliminating that monster called Void Death!"

I, Asuka Tendo, will take full responsibility for my actions!

To correct your mistakes where you went wrong is the mark of a genius!

However, Hideyuki Hoshino slowly shook his head.

"Your resistance to illusions is too low. If you were to fight alongside me, what would I do if you became a pawn of the enemy midway through the battle?"

Hoshino Hideyuki exaggerated a bit in saying that.

The girl in front of me was able to sense something was wrong and counterattack the moment she stepped into the barrier; her skill level is quite good.

Moreover, that barrier isn't omnipotent; the idea of ​​someone being completely brainwashed into becoming an enemy is actually unlikely to happen.

But Asuka Tendo had no idea about any of this; her guilt only deepened.

"Sorry... Well, at least we'll call for backup!"

“I already did that. In fact, the support has already arrived and is helping to drive away irrelevant people on the top floor while dealing with the barrier. Don’t make things worse.”

Hoshino Hideyuki naturally shoved the phone back into the girl's hand, adopting a resolute expression:

"Now, there's only one thing I can do: go back into the shopping mall and fight that monster to the death!"

After saying that, he glanced at Asuka Tendo's face, which was on the verge of tears, and his tone softened a little:

“…I was a bit harsh just now, but you don’t need to feel too guilty. Although you were reckless, our plan has not been ruined.”

"Are you wondering where my companion is? Actually, he and his support team have already infiltrated the top floor of the shopping mall and made the crucial arrangements to eliminate the monster!"

"And next, I will go to his side and complete the final step in exorcising the demon!"

Although I have absolutely no idea what the last step refers to, and I have absolutely no idea what kind of monster Kongwang is.

But Asuka Tendo's emotions have already been stirred up by Hideyuki Hoshino!

"However, this final battle is indeed very dangerous, and I may not be able to come downstairs to see you again."

Hideyuki Hoshino sighed and gently patted Asuka Tendo's shoulder: "Alright then, young lady, if you really want to help, I'll give you a task!"

"You just stay here quietly. If I still haven't come down in an hour, then it means we've... well, then you can call for reinforcements."

Asuka Tendo's eyes widened: "Senpai..."

"Don't be sentimental. This is my responsibility. As a senior, since I've criticized the junior, I should set a good example!"

After saying that, Hoshino Hideyuki walked back into the shopping mall without looking back.

Watching that receding figure, Asuka Tendo's eyes finally welled up with tears.

The sun is shining brightly at this moment.

People came and went all around, some busy with work, others chatting and laughing, just like always.

In a hidden battlefield unknown to others, the veterans of the Countermeasures Office are risking their lives!

That's so touching!

I was actually smug about skipping a meeting. Compared to the awareness of my seniors, I'm so degenerate!

Asuka Tendo raised her head.

We must learn from our seniors!

The guard duty must be done well, and there must be no slackening in the slightest!

"Finally, I can relax a little!"

After settling the girl in, Hoshino Hideyuki returned to the shopping mall.

At that moment, he saw Ichikiku walk into the training lecture hall.

well.

The plan continues!

the other side.

Kikuri Ichichi sat in the back row of the classroom. Looking at the familiar decor around her, she felt inexplicably nauseous, and her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

This feeling reached its peak, especially when Nobuyuki Kayaba stepped onto the podium.

Will the plan succeed...?

What would happen if we failed...?

No, be optimistic, believe in him...

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

On the podium, Kayaba Nobuyuki completely failed to notice Iji Chikiri in the corner.

In the past, before he gained the power he has today, he did pay attention to every student.

After all, fraud needs to be tailor-made; otherwise, it won't be fun if it gets exposed.

But now, he feels there's no need for that at all!

He could easily handle a bunch of ignorant ordinary people; it's not worth his effort!

My dear lambs, risk your lives without knowing a thing, and offer me your money!

"Good morning, every body."

With this relaxed attitude, Nobuyuki Kayaba still showed his positive and sunny smile.

He opened the slides prepared by his subordinates, intending to begin today's deception... no, lesson.

however……

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are deeply sorry to reveal a truth to you..."

An unexpected sound came from the device.

Kayaba Shinji suddenly turned around and saw a video playing automatically on the big screen.

The video features actors from a third-rate agency he had hired to impersonate elites, as well as an ordinary employee under his management.

These people gathered together and recounted his fraudulent crimes one by one.

what happened……

Why did this happen? Did the actors betray me? But why did that employee also...?

No, there's no time to think about that now!

Kayaba Nobuyuki looked at the students filling the classroom and immediately pointed to his watch.

The most urgent task is to stabilize the people in front of us.

With the clicking sound of fingers tapping the watch face, the illusion barrier was activated.

Haha, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore!

As long as the illusion barrier launches an attack, everything will be alright!

but……

The students, who were usually confused, gradually regained their clarity of vision!

Soon, the first person stood up, pointed at the video, and shouted:

"Mr. Kayaba, what exactly is going on?!"

"Yes, explain!"

"Have you been lying to us all along?!"

One has two.

Gradually, more and more people stood up, turning the entire classroom into a noisy, chaotic cauldron that had trapped many sparrows!

Chapter 14 The Fox: A Small Barrier, Taken Down!

Kayaba's palms were sweating.

The invincible barrier has lost its effect?

What a joke.

What a joke!

Kikuri Ijichi was also startled.

Is it so direct?

And the other trainees were surprisingly cooperative?

Even though I tried to persuade them to come with me when I called the police, they wouldn't listen...

Although I don't know how that guy did it, the timing for the plan has arrived!

"Don't you all understand? We've been fooled by this person all along!"

Amidst the commotion, Iji Chikiku stood up and uttered a resolute shout:

"Kouba is a fraudster. His courses and connections are all fake. He just wants to swindle our money!"

"I've already called the police. Please unite and testify together to get our money back!"

That shout caused an uproar in the classroom.

Japanese police?

How could those lazy and irresponsible guys possibly come to arrest me just because you said a few words?

Kayaba Nobuyuki thought dismissively, but immediately heard the sound of a large group of people running up the stairs outside the entrance.

Turning my head again, I saw two unfamiliar black cars parked on the side of the road outside the window.

Wait, could it really be...?

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

In a moment of desperation, Nobuyuki Kayaba hurriedly shouted:
