Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

Seeing that Xiangzi had been dealt with, Kerry didn't give chase. It wasn't that Kerry had insisted on posing and didn't want to pursue, but mainly because his gun was out of bullets and the guy beneath him had had his gun smashed by him.

With the flames, Kazuma respawned.

Kirito, who had finished reading the note in the distance, also jogged over here.

Over there. Some of the stunned villagers dared not approach, staring at the gruesome scene before them, and now they were truly obedient.

There are 40 people here, how did they all become corpses? We were only two minutes late coming out.

Thinking back to how they had dared to take two of these people to the Sonozaki family, he felt a sudden tightness at the back door.

It felt like we were just saying something like, "Gensokyo has Renko, Tenshi, and Suwako, but not Junko's son—a truly hellish joke—and then the next second Junko was right there on our faces."

If it were now, even if those few people took Pear Blossom away right in front of them, they wouldn't dare say a word.

However, Sonozaki Mion gritted her teeth and walked into this place filled with the smell of blood.

"Are you alright? If you're injured, go to the back and retreat with the villagers."

"fine."

Kerry waved his hand.

Then Sonozaki Mion saw the group skillfully looting equipment from the corpses on the ground, which made her want to vomit.

Toyokawa Shoko's hands trembled slightly; she felt a lingering fear.

But the reason she felt fear afterwards was not because of fear itself, but because she did not feel fear.

This wasn't her first time killing someone, but this time it was noticeably different from before. Previously, she had acted recklessly in the heat of extreme emotions, doing things just to survive. It was all done by Miss Ob, a string of letters.

But this time, her hands were stained with blood again.

However, despite smelling the blood and seeing the corpses scattered on the ground, she felt no fear. She tried to find a trace of guilt within herself, but couldn't find any at all.

She even felt a sense of satisfaction when she killed these people because they had committed numerous evil deeds and injured her multiple times.

That feeling of disliking someone, but feeling relieved after a single cut.

She was a little scared, afraid that one day she would get used to this feeling and become someone who only cared about life and death and only liked to solve problems in the most brutal way.

She was starting to have trouble distinguishing herself from Oblivionis.

"call……"

However, the enemy's first wave of attack has now been repelled. If the enemy's total number is only 300, then one-sixth of them have already been lost here.

Toyokawa Shoko forced herself to take a deep breath and stop thinking about all that nonsense.

Relax your mind...

Anyway, these villagers should be safe now, and I did my part in it; I didn't do anything wrong.

Next, everyone work together to push outwards, and the final breakthrough of the obstacle will be victory...

"Behind...behind!"

However, just as if deliberately trying to upset her, Xiangzi had barely calmed down when she heard the villagers' exclamations.

Everyone was drawn by the villager's scream and followed his finger.

After seeing it clearly, Xiangzi felt a little more at ease, but then his heart tightened again.

That's the road leading up the mountain, and there, scattered flames are burning in the mountains. Although they only look like specks from a distance, it's not hard to tell from the distance that a forest fire is probably raging there.

The fire isn't the main issue; the main issue is that it was the villagers' escape route!

The appearance of fire likely means that the enemy has begun throwing incendiary bombs, using this method to guide the troops on the ground.

Yes, since those guys are capable of discovering us, it's only a matter of time before they discover the main force of villagers.

Clearly, the time spent being trapped in the mansion was enough.

However, none of them expected that, with them still a tough nut to crack, the enemy would bypass them and attack the rear directly.

This is actually normal, because the opponent's victory condition is not actually breaking through the manor's defenses. What they care more about is preventing any villagers from coming down the mountain by other routes and killing all of them.

Although the repaired road has been blocked, with so many villagers walking directly from the back of the mountain into the dense forest, it's estimated that hundreds of them could make it down.

If we were to mobilize troops to surround the entire mountain, that would be too big a move and could easily be discovered by other countries.

"asshole!!"

Sonozaki Mion stared at that spot, her expression gradually twisting.

Some villagers' eyes also began to shrink, vaguely indicating a large-scale outbreak of the disease.

Their reason for holding the line here is to hope that the elderly and infirm will hide.

Now, the other party has bypassed them and attacked the people behind them. That burning fire could very well be the parents, children, or partners of one of the families here. The immense mental pressure has caused their Hinamizawa Syndrome levels to jump upwards.

Toyokawa Shoko also felt a heavy sense of suffocation.

Do these guys really have to be so ruthless?

Although the enemy might have weak forces at the pass and they could try to break through, Kerry and his men jumped onto the truck without hesitation.

Getting out has never been a problem for Kerry and his group. Their purpose in staying here is not to use these villagers, who have virtually no fighting ability, as teammates to break through the encirclement.

"Stop standing there, let's go provide support!"

Kirito shouted at the villagers who were filled with bitterness and resentment, and they suddenly realized what was going on. Several of them hurriedly got into the back of Kerry's car. After the car was full, the others grabbed a few usable guns from the corpses on the ground and ran after the car.

The car sped up the mountain.

152

Chapter 152 I can't tell the difference.

Inside the vehicle, several people were organizing their equipment.

Because of the urgency, no one had time to retrieve their weapons; they could only load the captured enemy weapons into ammunition.

However, Kirito suddenly felt something was strange, and he reached out and touched his waist.

"Ok?"

Somewhat strangely, he pulled out the object he had touched.

That's a vajra, yes, the equipment dropped by the Buddha Mother before. Although it's not very useful, it's very meaningful and suitable for carrying around, so I've been carrying it with me.

Kirito was stunned.

[Kirigaya Kazuto: It seems the equipment that dropped from that Buddha statue was transferred along with me.]

【Sato Kazuma:? 】

[Sato Kazuma: Kerry! Give me your axe later!]

[Sato Kazuma: Damn it! You two shouldn't be using this kind of weapon if you don't even need to wait for the resurrection bar!]

The exact principle is unknown, and it's just a guess at the moment, but it seems that these things can be transferred back at the same time as being resurrected, unlike weapons that can be used and discarded at will, they are bound equipment.

If that's the case, then this type of weapon is crucial for them. Having an axe at hand every time they respawn can make up for many of their weaknesses.

[Kerry: If you want it, come and take it yourself. You already know this rule.]

[Sato Kazuma: I knew you'd say that...]

[Kirigaya Kazuto: Please don't use memes at times like this!]

Xiangzi glanced at Kerry, who was sitting in the driver's seat and wasn't speaking in the chat room; she couldn't quite understand what they were saying.

However, she was still quite envious, as it seemed that both Kerry and Kazuma could maintain a relaxed mindset under such circumstances.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do it.

She didn't even consider herself a busybody. If she didn't have this immortal power, even if she knew about this, she would probably just hope the blood wouldn't splatter on her and run away, right? No, if she hadn't met these people, and only possessed this power, she probably would have just thought of taking a few people with her to escape.

If it were me a few months ago, carefree and without worries, I probably would have shed a few fake tears.

Xiangzi didn't voice this self-doubt, but if he had, he would definitely have been ridiculed by Kerry.

Because it's already quite good that it can be like this. If a normal person has power and doesn't do evil or become an accomplice to evil, that's already a good deed.

He touched the small sickle at his waist and checked the magazine again.

Her heart felt heavy. To be honest, she didn't know how to explain it, even though she had once fantasized about all sorts of heroes and monsters in the dark.

But now she doesn't quite know what a monster is.

Kerry had mentioned their previous adventures when she joined.

Human-faced dogs, ghouls, fish-men who commit crimes because humans want to pollute the ocean, monsters from the sewers...

Now, everything in Hinamizawa seems to be a tragedy caused by some kind of supernatural force, such as the Shiki and the Hinamizawa Syndrome.

But if these things were gone, would the world be different?

Has the phenomenon of human-faced dogs ever occurred in the world? Even without Hinamizawa Syndrome, would Japan still be conducting experiments on people? Even without the Shiki, would people still be abducting homeless and undocumented people in poorly managed mountainous areas, profiting from their organs and labor? Without the Deep Divers, would those pollutants still be dumped into the sea?

In fact, both Kazuma and Kerry could answer Xiangzi's question very casually.

But this was the first time Xiangzi had ever thought about these things.

It's like when you reach the end of Demon's Souls and suddenly realize that even without demons, the world is still ruled by villains. A choice is made, and two paths diverge before her.

Just as she was increasingly unable to distinguish herself from Miss Ob, the line between humans and monsters was gradually blurring in her eyes.

At the same time, the group's destination was the road leading into the mountains.

"They're here! They're here!"

The villagers tried to squeeze across the bridge in terror.

"Hurry up, you guys! Don't you want to live anymore?!"

Not everyone has the courage to cross that bridge suspended dozens of meters in the air. The flames falling from the sky and the increasingly loud car noises are like the whispers of death, making the villagers more and more afraid and anxious. But it is precisely because of this that they are becoming more and more crowded.

The village chief, Koyuki, and Akane Sonozaki, who volunteered to stay behind, shouted through gritted teeth, trying to restore order to the people.

The original plan was to blow up the bridge with gas cylinders after crossing it.

But now the bridge has already started to shake.

The overwhelming will to survive leads to a decline in social interaction. They all share the consensus that they can survive as long as they cross the bridge. If it were just them alone, they might be able to restrain themselves, but how can they restrain themselves when their families are around?
