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

You know, this is strange, isn't it? It does seem pretty strange, but it feels more like a cyber ghost scenario.

The victims of the attack also appeared to have been infected by some kind of virus.

Who knows, maybe he's some kind of cyber psychopath.

Kirito was the only one still seriously analyzing the situation. He immediately called Yui and had his sister describe the online friend's ID, then he started checking it.

Yui is essentially the underlying logic of all stealth games; she was part of the code that was publicly released back then, so she can go into any game developed under the same framework to see how it works.

Soon after, a character ID appeared on the computer screen: "Yuki".

Meanwhile, the voice of Kirito's daughter, Yui Kirigaya, came from the speakers.

"Dad, we checked as you requested. This woman's emotions are fluctuating a lot, but her data and equipment are all normal."

This basically rules out computer viruses. After all, if it really came down to cyber warfare, even Japan's cyber information agencies might not be able to beat Yui Kiritani.

However, this cannot rule out the possibility that it is a hallucination caused by some medical problem, and the probability of it being related to the paranormal is very small.

Anyway, since everyone is going out to find food, we can go and take a look if we have a direction. Even if we don't find anything, it's still like we've been there.

"Suguha, do you know where the clinic where she received treatment is?"

"I know."

Kirigaya Suguha nodded and wrote down an address for the group.

Actually, for Kirigaya Suguha, although she also hoped to help this friend, she couldn't say what the real reason was. However, her purpose in coming was to find a reason to see her brother and to talk to someone about this matter that was weighing on her mind, so that she could have hope that her brother and his friends might be able to help.

Chapter 166 You've heard of the second year of the Reiwa era, the chivalrous journey...

The fact that the target scene was a hospital made everyone a little numb.

After all, the hospital didn't leave a good impression on them.

However, according to Kirigaya Suguha, the security there is very strict, and it would be virtually impossible for them to see her online friend unless they forcefully overpowered all the security forces.

However, as the saying goes, having a direction is always faster than Kerry and his group wandering the streets looking for clues.

So the group asked some more questions in detail, and when they had asked enough, Kirito let Suguha leave under his sister's deeply resentful gaze.

After discussing it for a while, the group decided to go and take a look.

Because Kazuma was carrying an axe, his guandao (a type of halberd), and many other props that everyone might need, this time he was carrying a very large cello case. The others were carrying their usual equipment: Kerry stuffed Oni-Giri-Yanagi into his guitar case, Kirito carried a bass case containing a vajra (a magical pestle), and Shoko still had her small scythe and keyboard case.

Wear a mask that partially covers your face.

This time, everyone's destination was Tokyo, and since they were worried that they wouldn't be able to drive there and back, they decided to take a bus instead.

As a result, I ran into two little guys across the street as soon as I went out.

"Hey! You guys went out again!"

Satoko waved to the group after seeing them.

To be honest, Satoko looks somewhat like Misaka Hatsuka when she was a child, and Shoko is quite gentle with her.

The group waved back.

The kid was still laughing.

"Hehe! I just heard from Sister Shiyin that you guys really messed her up."

It is said that when the old hag was in danger in Hinamizawa, the ghosts tattooed on their backs by their ancestors did not help them, but you helped them instead.

So they decided that every future head of the Sonozaki family would have the story of the chivalrous adventures of the second year of the Reiwa era tattooed on their back. However, Mion already had a ghost tattooed on her back, so they would let Shion get "you" tattooed first.

"Ugh?"

When Xiangzi heard that someone had tattooed their back to ward off evil spirits, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Kerry also looked troubled.

From now on, the first thing the Sonozaki family will say to anyone they meet will be, "Have you heard the story of the chivalrous knight in Reiwa 2? Back then, the Sonozaki family was a prominent family in Hinamizawa, and they were a self-defense force overnight..."

That's enough! We've tasted enough! Take it away now!

Pear Blossom could tell that the group was likely going out to fight again.

He raised his hands towards the group and made a "meow! meow!" gesture.

"Wishing you all good luck in your martial arts endeavors, Nanodes!"

This little incident made the group feel much more relaxed about their trip.

The destination was a hospital in central Tokyo, and the group happened to be near the Arakawa Line, one of the few remaining green sightseeing lines in Tokyo, when they took a taxi there.

That is, the place where the famous Nagasaki Motoyo ruthlessly cut off the little pink hair who had been transferred from Britain to Tokyo.

Actually, despite the fact that this line is old, its old age has become its unique feature. It's also more expensive than other lines, so being able to take this to school every day is definitely a choice for rich girls.

Although there are actually no security checks on Japanese trains, Kerry and his gang were able to board even with guns. After all, many people live near Tokyo and take these trains to work or go to school every day. According to the Japanese government's calculations, even if the security check process is delayed by a few minutes, it will have an immeasurable negative impact on the entire Japanese economy.

But if you have money, who would squeeze into that kind of place?

The group hailed two taxis and went directly to their destination.

Edogawa Ward, Tokyo Coastal Treatment Center.

Because Edogawa Zoo is just north of the area and Kasai Rinkai Nature Reserve is just south of it, there are many foreigners here, and the number of tourists far exceeds the number of permanent residents.

Looking at this bustling scene, Kerry and his companions felt like they had come all for nothing.

After all, according to normal logic, such strange things should happen in some remote mountain forest, or at least in a completely empty place.

The area looks exactly like a typical tourist attraction in a big city, yet people are saying strange things are happening here.

Since they were already there, the group decided to go in and give it a try.

After passing through the crowded entrance, the group entered the hospital. Their strange attire, which seemed normal outside, appeared rather eerie inside the hospital.

You're here to see a doctor wearing a lace mask and carrying a musical instrument bag, right?

So a nurse immediately stepped forward suspiciously.

Hello, may I ask who you are...?

"Greetings, we would like to visit Konno Kapoki."

Toyokawa Shoko placed her hands in front of her very politely, bowing slightly like the Fire Keeper returning a greeting to the Ashes.

Seeing such standard upper-class behavior, the nurse's suspicions clearly decreased significantly.

The name Konno Yuuki was obtained by Kirito through opening boxes using the game ID.

That is the real name of Kirigaya Suguha's friend. When Kerry heard this name, it sounded somewhat familiar.

However, the nurse also frowned.

What is your relationship with her?

It seemed the nurse knew the girl named Suguha from her online friend's chat, as she inquired about her with some concern.

"Um...we're her online friends from the game."

Xiangzi made up an identity on the spot.

"That's it."

The nurse seemed to know about Yuki's project, so she nodded.

She thought for a moment, then led everyone toward the back.

"Please come with me first, but I need to make it clear that you can only look through the glass; you cannot go into the sterile room."

"Um... thank you."

Xiangzi answered skillfully, and then the others started walking and followed.

The nurse took a few steps and then stopped, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. Then she took a breath through her mask.

"If you are her friends, and you visit her later, don't talk to her about real-life issues if you meet her relatives."

"Those things?"

Xiangzi was taken aback by her strange remarks.

Kerry and the others also thought there was a clue, so they turned their heads around to look at the nurse, searching for clues.

"I shouldn't be saying this in my position, but her relatives have gone too far. Mu Mianji and her sister Lanzi used to come to the hospital for check-ups frequently, so we medical staff all know them."

However, after their parents passed away, their relatives were afraid of being infected and were unwilling to take care of the sisters. They also often quarreled, thinking that they could divide the property left by their parents after the sisters died.

Sigh... If Kurahashi hadn't involved them in the experimental project about that game, their relatives would have done everything they could to get them to give up treatment and get a bigger share.

Moreover, those people would argue with each other whenever they met. After Lanzi left, only Mumianji was left, and they went even further. They would often come to the hospital and say hurtful things to Mumianji. We couldn't stand it anymore.

That's why I said if you see her, don't talk to her in the game. Let her enjoy the rest of her days happily.

As she spoke, the nurse's eyes reddened.

He seemed very distressed by the incident.

Chapter 167 Duplex High-Rise Apartment with Sea and River Views

Through the glass, the group saw the girl lying in the gaming pod wearing a hospital gown.

But that's all. The hospital is quite accommodating; they let you visit whenever they want, which doesn't seem suspicious.

However, the group still frowned even through the glass.

Because that feeling... came.

It wasn't the kind of feeling where you could smell something through your nose, but rather the feeling of being able to sense something unusual even while wearing a mask in a sewer.

The feeling that the food was right in front of them emanated from the girl.

This made the group wonder if there was something wrong with the hospital, but after talking to the attending physician, they found nothing amiss.

This time it will be very difficult to handle.
