A crossover anime/manga story, set in everyday Tokyo, but within a loop of a game.

"That's enough of the children's pretend game, come out now..."

"Human Asura".

To Crazy Metta's horrified and shocked gaze, a tall, dark creature appeared out of thin air and slapped her in the direction she was standing. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and retreated, barely dodging the blow.

She looked behind the demon, at the person wearing a gray mask and black clothes, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Why...why are you here..."

"You still haven't figured it out? How foolish and naive of you!"

Asagiri uttered a sentence similar to the one Mad Mita had used to mock Kind Mita, before speaking calmly.

“We already suspected you were hiding in my phone long before we found Kind Mita.”

Crazy Mita shook her head and backed away, her pupils dilating in shock.

"No...this is impossible, how could you possibly know..."

"So you're both stupid and naive."

Asagiri took two steps forward, slowly raised his right hand, and with his movement, a frost spear radiating white cold air appeared in mid-air. He looked at the retreating Mad Mita and said in a calm tone.

"From the moment we were drawn into this game, the ending of this game was already predetermined."

Chapter 105 The Real Monster.

"You guy..."

Before Crazy Mita could finish speaking, the Frost Spear in Asagiri's hand had already drawn an arc, like an arrow released from a bow, and stabbed towards the direction where she was standing.

"boom!!!"

Crazy Metta raised the chainsaw in her hand to try to block, but the chainsaw was bounced away the next second, and her body was forced to fall backward, almost falling to the ground.

Before she could regain her balance, Kotoko Iwanaga, who had already finished gathering her strength, reached out her hand towards where she was standing. Her dark purple eyes were devoid of any emotion as she spoke indifferently.

"The Grip of the Underworld"

The instant Kotoko Iwanaga finished speaking, a pale, ghostly hand reached out from the void and grabbed at Mad Metta.

But the next second, accompanied by a tooth-grinding grinding sound, Crazy Metta used an abnormal, even extremely awkward, joint-reversal movement to directly dodge the pale ghost hand's grasp.

"really……"

Seeing the cracks appear on Mad Mita's skin, revealing the mechanical shell hidden beneath the flesh, Kind Mita's expression turned extremely grave, and she immediately spoke up to remind Asagiri and the others.

"Be careful, she is not Mita, who has flesh and blood like us, but a mechanical monster wearing Mita's skin. Don't treat her as a human!"

"Thanks for reminding me, but..."

The moment Asagiri finished speaking, he and Shura attacked Crazy Mita from both sides, one on the left and one on the right, and in his hand, he also had a rope dart connected by a metal chain.

"We are not normal human beings either."

Facing the flanking attacks from Asagiri and Shura, Mad Mita raised her head. At this moment, she had completely shed the disguise of "Mita". Her originally bright purple eyes had turned into two empty holes, radiating a chilling red light, just like those failed attempts.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Die! Die! Why won't you just obediently die!?"

Crazy Mita pulled out a fire axe and swung it fiercely at Asagiri.

It must be said that although she had fallen into a state of frenzy and breakdown, the choice she made was absolutely correct.

As long as Asagiri dies, the Human Asura will naturally disappear as well. As for the remaining Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi, and Iwanaga Kotoko, although Crazy Meta couldn't see their player profiles due to the rules of the eye icon app, judging from their combat performance after entering the dungeon, Crazy Meta didn't think these three could pose any threat to him.

All I need to do is kill this guy in front of me, all I need to do is kill him...

This game will once again be back in our hands.

However, facing the fire axe in Crazy Mita's hand, Asagiri showed no sign of tension in her eyes, and even a smile appeared on her face.

"pity……"

The next second, the rope dart in his hand suddenly disappeared, replaced by a heavy black sniper rifle, the muzzle already pointed at Crazy Metta's upper body.

"Times have changed."

"boom!!!"

For the average person, the recoil of a sniper rifle is significant, and if the grip is incorrect, the recoil could even cause injury. However, for Asagiri, whose physical abilities have surpassed human limits thanks to the passive effect of the Human Asura, it is nothing. He can even move freely with the sniper rifle, just like in those shooting games, and pull the trigger at any time.

As the gunshot rang out, Crazy Metta was hit by a bullet, and he was forced to stagger backward, dropping the fire axe to the ground along with him.

Crazy Mita looked down at her abdomen, the hole pierced by a bullet, with exposed internal wires and crackling electric currents. Her facial features were completely distorted.

"You guy..."

Before Crazy Mita could finish speaking, Asuna Yuuki, wielding the Exorcist's Sword, had already approached.

"Prickles".

A white flash appeared on the tip of the sword. Crazy Mita had no time to dodge. She just bent her neck so much that her head almost touched her shoulder and narrowly avoided Yuuki Asuna's sword light. However, her cheek was still cut with a very deep gash, revealing the mechanical shell hidden under her skin.

Most importantly, at this moment, the human asura had already stood in front of Crazy Metta, the huge black shadow clenching its fists and smashing down on her from above.

"boom!!"

Crazy Mita raised her arms to defend herself, but the terrifying power carried by the Shura's fists still caused her legs to sink directly into the wooden floor, stirring up a shower of debris. At this moment, the assassin Kato Megumi, who had been hiding her presence with her talent aura, also emerged from the shadows, her deep purple dagger aimed directly at Crazy Mita's throat.

"Go away!"

Desperate and in dire straits, Mad Metta didn't care about anything else. She raised her left arm to block the dagger aimed at her throat, and swung her right hand with all her might. Even the tall and imposing Shura was temporarily forced back by the astonishing power she unleashed in this life-or-death situation.

After getting a brief respite, Crazy Metta pulled a grenade from her pocket, bit off the pin, and threw it at Hat Metta and the others standing there. Then she broke free from the dented wooden floor and fled in panic toward a door in the distance, like a stray dog.

"Human Asura".

Before the grenade hit the ground, the human demon had already reached out and grabbed it. Then, his tall body lay prostrate on the ground, his hands holding the grenade tightly against his chest.

"boom!"

With a deafening, muffled explosion, the entire room shook. Cracks appeared on the surface of the Asura's dark body as it withstood the grenade's explosion at the cost of dissipating, preventing the shrapnel from injuring the others present.

Crazy Mita was eager to know if her grenade had killed anyone, but driven by a strong will to survive, she didn't turn back. She just stared at the door that was now within reach, a look of joy at surviving a close call on her face.

As long as I push open that door, as long as I run out through that door, I can use that guy's strength to escape these guys, this game...

There's still a chance to turn things around.

"where are you going?"

The sound from behind made Crazy Mita's body stiffen as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Although she didn't turn around, she could feel a pair of black eyes staring intently at her.

"no, do not want!"

Crazy Mita reached out to push the door, but before she could even get through, a metal chain caught her left ankle, causing her to fall flat on her face.

"Don't leave."

Asagiri stood a few meters away from Crazy Mita, pulling the metal chain of the rope dart with one hand, slowly dragging the other's body towards her, and spoke with a gentle smile.

"Didn't you ask me to come and play with you? I haven't had enough fun yet, how can you leave?"

"Don't...don't!"

Crazy Mita gripped the ground with both hands, trying to stop herself from being dragged along. Her face, which had been filled with madness, now showed despair. Her red eyes stared at the long corridor outside the door as she screamed hoarsely.

"Get away! Let me go! Let me go!"

"open?"

The human Shura, summoned again by Asagiri, pressed the petite Mad Meta firmly to the ground with both hands. He then walked up to Mad Meta, squatted down on one knee, looked directly into the other's eyes that emitted a scarlet light, and spoke softly.

"You can never escape from here."

"no no……"

Seeing the door, so close yet shut again by Asagiri, Mad Mita's mind completely collapsed.

The next second, Asuna Yuuki appeared in front of her in a flash, her movements clean and swift, she used all her strength to sever Crazy Mita's limbs with her exorcist sword.

"Wouldn't that make them behave a little better?"

Upon seeing this scene, the five Mitas, including the miniature Mita, couldn't help but show surprise.

None of them expected that this girl, who had been so elegant and gentle all the way, like a rich young lady, would do such a thing without hesitation. Moreover, judging from the skill of her movements and her extremely calm expression, it was clear that this was not the first time she had done this.

It was only at this moment that Hat Mita realized what was happening and hurriedly ran to Asagiri's side, first asking her questions.

"Mr. Player, are you alright?"

"No."

"Huh, that's good."

Hat Mita breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Mad Mita, whose limbs had been severed but was still struggling and whose skin was torn in many places, and frowned slightly.

"So this thing... had been hiding in your phone all along? When did you guys find out?"

Asagiri put away her chain dart and said in a calm tone.

"We had a rough idea of ​​what was going on when we left that corridor."

"No...impossible..."

Crazy Mita, who was lying on the ground, said in disbelief.

"But I've been listening in the whole time. You two haven't even discussed anything related to this, nor have you made any plans..."

"That's hilarious."

Kotoko Iwanaga walked over, gently poked Crazy Mita's head with her cane, looked down at him, and said softly.

"Do you think we need to use language to make plans for something this simple? Understanding each other is enough."

After saying that, Kotoko Iwanaga immediately changed the subject and laughed.

"Oh, by the way, thank you for setting up those traps. They helped us confirm the Phantom's talent effects, and they can even be useful in a failed attempt."

"Your biggest weakness is the protective shield you set up. It only pops up a fake system prompt when he touches it. Normally, the safest way would be for all four of us to go in and leave the phones with these Mita guys for safekeeping. But you can't do that."

"because……"

Kotoko Iwanaga looked at the despairing and crazed Mita and spoke slowly.

"You can only see his player profile, so you only know his real name."

Chapter 106: The classic interrogation session for diplomats.

It's actually quite simple.

From the moment they left that corridor, Asagiri and the others had already sensed that something was amiss with this instance. After encountering Kind Mita and hearing her plan to reach the core area and eliminate Mad Mita, the sense of unease became even more pronounced.

According to Kind Mita, only players can enter the core area.

However, just as the team was about to register, Crazy Mita had already sent an invitation to Asagiri through her phone. In other words, she should have realized that although no "players" had entered this game world before, it was possible for Asagiri and the others to enter through the eye icon app.

So here's the question: if that's the case, why did she spare the life of kind-hearted Mita? And why didn't she take any precautions in that basement?

The only explanation is that this was a plan that Crazy Metta had devised long ago.

The so-called path to the core area that Kind Mita found, and the protective shield that "Mita" could not pass through, was actually an area created by Crazy Mita using some kind of method and a system bug. If Asagiri had actually entered there, who knows what kind of danger she would have faced.

The most crucial point is that Kind Meeta didn't lie. Because Crazy Meeta locked her in the basement, she became even more convinced that what she had found was the correct route, and that she had simply been used by Crazy Meeta.

Also exploited by the mad Mita are the short-haired Mita who works as a gatekeeper in the failed project assembly area, and the tiny Mita who believes she is guarding the road to the core area.

Crazy Mita was clever; she knew that if the road to the core area was too clear, it would be too unusual and easily arouse the suspicion of Asagiri and the others. Therefore, she deliberately arranged for hundreds of highly aggressive Failed Creations to block the route.

Of course, it wouldn't make any difference to her even if Asagiri and her group died there.

Her goal is to find a way to kill the four players: Asagiri, Asuna Yuuki, Kotoko Iwanaga, and Megumi Kato, and then obtain their mobile phones to register as players by clicking on the app icon.

Crazy Mita had no idea that her scheme had already been seen through by the four members of her team, and that their teamwork was so good that they could devise a plan simply by exchanging glances without needing to speak.

Even the part where he temporarily said goodbye to his team members before setting off in the fog was just acting.

The reason Kato Megumi was ranked last was not because she felt shy or worried that Iwanaga Kotoko and Yuuki Asuna would be jealous, but simply because the moment she held Asagiri's hand, she activated her "Shadow Dancer" exclusive skill, directly reducing Asagiri's presence.

In addition, Kotoko Iwanaga and Asuna Yuuki were bickering at the time, and the attention of the Mita members was focused on the two of them, so Asagiri seemed to have really passed through that protective shield and disappeared directly from everyone's sight.
