Crossover Anime: Edit everything, join the chat group

The thought stirred a ripple in her heart.

It was a mixture of worry, curiosity, and a hint of anticipation that she herself was unwilling to admit.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

"Uh... ah..."

Outside the medical room, a suppressed, inhuman groan echoed from the corridor.

Immediately following was a loud crash as tables and chairs were overturned, and the ear-piercing sound of shattering glass.

“y/u*e-already9flow blame doctor (three) what’s all the noise?” Shizuka Marikawa was startled and curiously peeked out to look.

"do not move!"

Saeko suddenly grabbed her shoulder, her eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp, like a drawn blade.

Her battle-hardened intuition sounded the most alarming warning to her at that moment.

coming!

That feeling... was exactly the same as three days ago! No, it was even more evil, more violent!

She stared intently at the closed door of the infirmary, where a hand suddenly pressed down on the small observation window. The hand was pale and swollen, with black, foul blood accumulating under its fingernails.

"Roar--!!!"

A roar, completely different from three days ago, filled with violence and madness, erupted from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, as if receiving some kind of command, the entire teaching building, and even the entire campus, was instantly engulfed by a series of frantic roars!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The door to the infirmary was being pounded on wildly, as if a prehistoric beast was trying to break in.

"It's happening again..." Shizuka Marikawa was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled.

However, Saeko Busujima, who was standing next to him, reacted in a completely different way.

After the initial shock and wariness, an indescribable, burning emotion surged uncontrollably from the depths of her heart.

It's excitement.

It is that primal desire for killing and fighting that lies hidden deep in one's blood!

The apocalypse a few days ago came and went quickly, giving her a taste of the thrill of liberating her instincts, but it ended abruptly at the most exhilarating moment, leaving her with a feeling of emptiness that tormented her for three days.

And now, the feast... has begun again!

"Hehe..." Saeko couldn't help but let out a low chuckle. The corners of her mouth turned up uncontrollably, forming a beautiful yet dangerous arc, and her purple eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.

"Sae-Saeko... what are you laughing at?" Shizuka Marikawa was startled by her appearance.

"Shizuka-sensei, hide inside. No matter what happens, don't come out."

Saeko stood up and slowly drew her Murata sword. The clear sound of the blade being drawn was like the lament of death.

Instead of blocking the door, she stood calmly in the center of the room and took a deep breath.

[Insect Breathing - Revised]!

As that familiar energy flowed through her body, she felt every cell in her body rejoice.

"boom--!!!"

The door to the infirmary was finally violently smashed open.

Several "dead bodies" roared and charged in. But they looked completely different from what they had three days ago!

Their eye sockets flashed with a savage red light, their withered muscles bulged high, full of explosive power, and their speed was astonishing!

"Butterfly Dance - Teasing".

Saeko's figure vanished instantly, her blade flashing like a purple lightning bolt as it passed between the several evolved beings that rushed in.

puff!puff!puff!

Three heads flew off, black blood gushing out.

Neat.

But Saeko's face showed no sign of relief.

So strong!

She could clearly feel it with just that one touch.

These evolved beings are far superior in strength, speed, and reaction ability to the "dead bodies" from three days ago! She used almost all her strength to barely achieve an instant kill with that move just now.

Outside the door, there were endless eyes flashing red light!

"Roar--!!!"

More evolved beings roared and surged in. They no longer rushed in swarms as before, but instead formed a subtle encirclement, blocking all escape routes.

Saeko stood with her sword drawn, feeling the slight tingling and numbness in her arm from the previous outburst. The excitement in her heart did not diminish, but instead burned even more intensely.

That's more like it... That's more exciting!

Such enemies are worthy of becoming the souls that fall beneath my blade!

However, just as she was about to charge into the enemy ranks again, an exceptionally large evolved creature roared and grabbed the hospital bed next to it, slamming it down on Saeko with unimaginable force!

The howling wind brought the shadow of death.

Saeko's pupils suddenly contracted.

She knew at a glance that this thing was beyond her ability to defeat.

……

Suddenly, a message flashed by in the group chat.

[Sword Dao Shura: @All members! My world... the virus has evolved! They... are stronger! Even more...]

The news abruptly ended.

32. The Despair Under the Snow and Fujiwara

Saeko Busujima's abruptly ended message was like a bucket of ice water poured over the heads of all the chat group members.

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat eased by Alicia's witty remarks, instantly plummeted to freezing point.

[Jewel Magician: Hey! @KendoShura?! Saeko?! What happened?! Say something!]

[Butterfly Dance: Ms. Saeko! Are you alright?! @Observer! Mr. Gu Chuan! Please, please check on Ms. Saeko's situation quickly!]

[Ice Queen: Tch, troublesome woman. But for her to issue such a warning, it seems this enemy is indeed formidable.]

[Alicia: Oh dear... this seems to be going badly. Mr. Observer, this is not the time to remain silent, is it?]

The girls in the group were extremely anxious. The urgency and sense of crisis conveyed in Saeko's last words, as well as the sudden interruption, made their hearts clench.

However, Gu Chuan still did not respond.

Since he hasn't found a solution yet, giving a hasty reply would only make everyone more uneasy.

On the rooftop, he glanced at the constantly scrolling messages for help in the chat group, then at the increasingly ominous aura emanating from the old teaching building, his gaze becoming incredibly profound.

“Saeko’s world is the ‘effect’. But here, I am the ‘cause’.”

He muttered to himself, "If we don't eradicate the source of pollution here, even if I can help her now, the virus will only continue to evolve and eventually spread to everyone's world."

To neglect the essential and pursue the trivial is not the act of a wise person.

Moreover, he has two more "troubles" to deal with.

"Yukino Yukinoshita, Chika Fujiwara..."

Gu Chuan closed his eyes, and his powerful mental energy, like an invisible radar network, instantly covered the entire Shuchiin Academy.

In this polluted "mirror world," all normal life signals are as clear as fireflies in the dark.

Soon, he spotted two faint but intertwined life signals in the direction of the stadium.

"Is it there?"

With a flash, he leaped off the edge of the rooftop like a ghost, silently disappearing into the shadows of the teaching building.

Meanwhile, inside the gymnasium's equipment storage room.

It was dark and damp here, and the air was filled with the smell of dust and rust.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Chika Fujiwara were huddled in the deepest part of the warehouse, their backs against a pile of vaulting crates.

"Waaaaah... Yukino-chan... W-we... are we going to die here?"

Fujiwara Chika hugged her knees, her body trembling like a leaf in the wind, her voice filled with suppressed sobs.

Her face was covered in tears and dust, her usually meticulously styled pink hair was disheveled, and her signature bow headband was nowhere to be seen. She looked disheveled and pitiful.

Yukino Yukinoshita's face was equally pale, but she forced herself to remain calm. She pursed her lips tightly, her deep blue eyes fixed on the blocked warehouse door.

“Crying won’t solve anything, Fujiwara-san.” Her voice was a little hoarse, but her tone still maintained the coolness and strength that belonged to Yukinoshita. “The most important thing now is to conserve our strength and find a way to call for help.”

"But...but outside...outside are all those monsters!" Fujiwara Chika protested, her voice trembling with tears. "Their roars...I'm so scared...waaaah..."

"boom!"

"Bang! Bang!"

As if to prove her words, the warehouse door was slammed violently again. The heavy iron door was severely deformed by the repeated impacts, and the bolts securing the door were groaning under the strain.

Each impact sent a sharp jolt through the two girls' hearts.

Yukino took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in her heart.

They didn't know what was going on. One second they were arguing over a small matter in the student council office, and the next second, the whole world changed.

The campus was deserted, replaced by grotesque "monsters" that chased and bit people.

During their escape, they frantically hid in the warehouse and blocked the door with a pile of heavy sports equipment.

But they knew this was just a temporary measure.

"Will we...die?" Yukino looked at the rickety door and a sense of despair welled up in her heart.

She was only seventeen years old. She had so many things she wanted to do and so many truths she wanted to verify... She didn't want to die so inexplicably at the hands of these monsters.

Faced with the threat of death, the trivial matters that had previously been argued with Fujiwara Chika seemed so ridiculous and insignificant.

She instinctively grasped the cold hand of Chika Fujiwara beside her.

Fujiwara Chika trembled, then, as if grasping at a straw, she gripped her tightly in return.

Two girls who were usually at odds with each other, at this moment, cast aside all prejudice and estrangement and regarded each other as their only support.

"boom--!!!"

Finally, with an exceptionally heavy impact, the warehouse door collapsed with a crash!

The equipment blocking the door was smashed and scattered everywhere.

Moonlight and roars poured in together.

Several infected creatures with glowing red eyes and ferocious faces appeared at the doorway, staring greedily and bloodthirstyly at the two trembling, vibrant lives deep inside the warehouse.

"what--!!!"

Fujiwara Chika let out a heart-wrenching scream, completely breaking down.

Utter despair finally surfaced in Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes.

She instinctively shielded Fujiwara Chika behind her, but her body was too paralyzed with extreme fear to move.

It’s over.

At this critical moment.

A figure, like a god emerging from the moonlight, appeared silently behind the group of infected.

"It's noisy."

A calm, emotionless voice rang out.

The infected creatures that were about to pounce on Yukino and her companion suddenly stopped, then stiffly turned around.
