In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

"Hmm? This guy... isn't a demihuman?"

Seeing that Crazy Mita did not resurrect, Sato, who was always calm in the face of emergencies, couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He originally thought that the other party was a subhuman like himself, or had a similar physique, so he used the self-destructive attack method with a grenade.

result......

So you can't be resurrected?

So it's not tactics, but pure madness?

Just as Sato was thinking this, he saw Crazy Mita's broken mechanical body slowly disappearing.

"Disappeared!?"

Seeing this scene, Sato's face changed involuntarily, as if he had thought of something. He pulled out a few grenades from his waist, pulled out the pins on them neatly, and then threw them towards the door.

Before the grenade exploded, Sato had already dragged Tanaka Koji's body over. Looking at the bloody body that was blown into a mess and bursts of black particles emerging on it, he smiled.

"Tanaka-kun, I'm sorry to inconvenience you a little."

............

When the smoke and dust in the room cleared, Asagiri entered the operating room and saw an irregular hole in the solid, thick concrete wall.

"Escape again?"

Asagiri looked at the dozen or so human limbs scattered on the ground and already knew how Sato broke through the thick concrete wall.

The resurrection mechanism of the sub-human is very special. In the case of damage to the body, if the split body parts are close to each other, the black particles will prioritize reassembling the broken body. However, if the legs or arms are broken and the broken body parts are far apart, the black particles will re-form the corresponding body parts when the sub-human is resurrected.

When this happens, any object that blocks the resurrection of the demi-human will be melted and dissolved by the black particles. Simply cut off the arm or leg, stick the broken end to the wall, and then kill the demi-human to trigger the resurrection. This method can eliminate the obstacle.

"This cannot be delayed any longer."

Including the Crazy Mita who was just summoned, Asagiri's personality mask has been destroyed twice since the attack on the research base began. Although the human Shura was not destroyed during the battle with Sato, the battle consumed a lot of his mental and physical strength.

Asagiri roughly felt his current physical condition and came to a conclusion.

As long as he ensures that he still has the ability to move and that he cannot just stand still but has to participate in battles to consume his physical strength, the personality mask can be summoned and destroyed twice. If it is not destroyed by external forces, but he actively cancels the summoning and switches to another personality mask, he can be summoned three times.

"Three times... may not be enough."

If Sato was alone, Asagiri would be confident that he could restrict the opponent's actions, but the demi-human named Tanaka Koji next to him also has the ability to summon IBM. And there is also Nagai Kei. Although his IBM is special and will not obey his orders, and Nagai Kei himself has no combat ability, the amount of black particles on his body is much more than that of ordinary demi-humans, which means that his ability to summon IBM is stronger than both Sato and Tanaka Koji.

Demi-humans cannot summon multiple IBMs at the same time, but Asagiri cannot summon multiple personality masks at the same time now. Even if Shura, the person with the strongest frontal combat ability, wants to suppress three IBMs alone, it is almost impossible to do so.

Moreover, with Koji Tanaka and Kei Nagai present, even if he found a way to make Sato lose his ability to fight, it would be a waste of effort as long as those two people shot and killed each other.

"Forget it, retreat."

Asagiri calculated in his mind and felt that the possibility of success if he acted alone was too low. Even if he successfully eliminated Sato and could obtain additional rewards from the system, the risks and benefits were completely disproportionate.

But just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard hurried footsteps. Then, Yuuki Asuna, holding an exorcist sword and wearing a crimson cloak, led Iwanaga Kotoko and Kato Megumi into the operating room.

"Leader? Are you okay? Are you not hurt?"

In response to Yuuki Asuna's slightly anxious and worried question, Asagiri waved her hand and replied with a smile.

"It's okay, it's just Sato, it's not enough to hurt my abilities."

Hearing Asagiri's answer, Yuuki Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled with a hint of helplessness.

"You're still in the mood to act cool. Looks like my worries were unnecessary."

"Have you got the experimental data?"

"I got it. Just like the zombie dungeon, it's in my inventory. I can submit it for clearance at any time."

Iwanaga Kotoko looked at the messy operating room and the hole on the wall, and she had already guessed the general situation without Asagiri explaining it specifically.

"Sato ran away? Should we chase him?"

Asagiri did not answer directly, but first explained the general abilities of the demihumans and the current situation, and then asked in return.

"What do you think? Let's vote and decide."

Yuuki Asuna didn't hesitate much and immediately expressed her opinion.

"Sato suffered a loss at your hands today, and he will definitely consider us a target that must be eliminated. He's already so difficult to deal with. If we let him become a player and gradually grow up, the consequences will be disastrous. We have the pocket watch as insurance. Even if we use it, as long as we can eliminate him, it will be completely worth it."

"Phantom and I have the same opinion, except..."

Kotoko Iwanaga raised her hand to adjust her beret, then spoke thoughtfully.

"The only ability that can only cause mental damage but won't kill Sato seems to be my Touch of the Dead. Those three demi-humans have been through the torture of scientific experiments, and their mental strength must be far beyond that of ordinary people. Your Alice's unique skill won't work, and my Hell's Grasp deals physical damage, which will kill them directly..."

"The key target is only Sato. Although Nagai Kei and Tanaka Koji are also demi-humans, they are probably not players. We don't need to deal with the three of them, we only need to deal with Sato."

"Well... if we want to succeed, we have to separate the three of them."

Yuuki Asuna thought about the next steps to take, then looked at Kato Keimichi.

"You will be responsible for dealing with Nagai Kei later, and I will deal with Tanaka Koji. It's best to separate the two of them from Sato, or at least prevent them from having the opportunity to help Sato out of trouble."

"okay."

"lets go."

Asagiri looked at the hole in the wall and spoke slowly.

"Eliminate Sato."

...............

A few minutes later, they arrived at a corridor littered with corpses of mobile unit members, the ground stained red with blood, and the walls on both sides were riddled with bullet holes.

"You say you're going to escape, but where can you escape to?"

Asagiri walked in front, stepped directly over the body of a mobile unit member, and scanned the corridor that was like hell on earth, muttering to himself.

"With the Demihuman Countermeasures Bureau controlling the raising and lowering of the metal gate, this area should have been sealed off. Where on earth are Sato and the others hiding..."

Just when Asagiri was halfway through his speech, something strange happened.

The three "corpses" wearing mobile force combat uniforms leaning against the wall suddenly raised their arms, and three automatic rifles were aimed at his body at the same time.

"Nagai, Tanaka, fire!"

Sato, who was disguised as a corpse, pulled the trigger first, followed by Kei Nagai and Koji Tanaka. Sato and Koji Tanaka also summoned their own IBMs. Two bandaged humanoid creatures formed by black particles suddenly appeared and rushed towards Asagiri who was standing there side by side.

Faced with this sudden attack, Asagiri seemed to have anticipated it. He grabbed the hem of his long black trench coat gracefully and quickly. Although the trench coat looked soft, it blocked all the rifle bullets, just like a magic trick.

"Hunter's Windbreaker" has the same resistance as Shura and Asagiri, including resistance to firearms and bullets.

"dispersion!"

Seeing that Asagiri's black windbreaker blocked all the bullets, Sato immediately realized that something was wrong. While shouting this sentence, his body rolled to the side. The next second, he saw that the IBMs created by him and Tanaka Koji were thrown directly against the wall by Asagiri with one hand each and extremely violently.

"boom!"

Koji Tanaka narrowly avoided it, but Kei Nagai's reaction was not so quick. He was hit directly against the wall by the IBM thrown by Asagiri with one hand and died on the spot.

"Persona, Human Shura."

Chapter 46:044 Sato's End

The moment Shura appeared, he stretched out his hands and held down Sato and Tanaka Koji's IBM tightly.

The biggest difference between IBM and Personality Mask is that Asagiri can cancel and re-summon Personality Mask at any time in any state, but once the demi-humans create IBM, they cannot actively destroy and dissipate it. In other words, once IBM is controlled, they can no longer create IBM.

"Have you been seen through..."

Seeing that Ren Shura had controlled his and Tanaka Koji's IBM, Sato couldn't help but frown. Taking advantage of the opportunity to create some distance between him and Asagiri, he quickly raised the automatic rifle in his hand. However, this time, he not only intended to aim at Asagiri's head, but also at his arms, legs, and abdomen.

Although the black windbreaker the other party was wearing could protect against bullets, it was impossible for it to protect every part of the body.

But just as Sato was about to pull the trigger, a premonition of danger came over him.

He subconsciously dodged to the side, and a heavy Indian tomahawk just passed by the outside of his shoulder.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Kato Megumi was not discouraged. After all, through the special prompts given by the system, she already knew that in this copy, someone would be able to detect her when her exclusive talent was activated.

Her attack to cut off Sato's shoulder was just an attempt. If it succeeded, that would be the best. Even if it didn't...

"Castling."

Just when Sato was about to fight back, Kato Megumi disappeared in front of him, and the one who appeared in front of him was...

"caught you."

In Sato's horrified and shocked eyes, Asagiri, who had exchanged positions with Kato Megumi using King's Rook Castling, had already reached out and grabbed his wrist. At this time, Asagiri was equipped with the personality mask of Human Shura. The terrifying grip strength that was beyond the scope of normal human understanding was almost crushing Sato's two wrist bones.

An ordinary person would subconsciously let go of the automatic rifle because of the severe pain in his wrist, but Sato had long been accustomed to the pain. Even the desperate situation at this moment made him feel the long-lost excitement and thrill.

"boom!"

Sato pulled the trigger with all his strength. Although he could not aim at Asagiri's vital parts because his wrist was captured, the bullet shot from the slightly lowered muzzle still swept across Asagiri's calf while shaking.

Although Asagiri's physical fitness has exceeded the limits of humans and he has a bonus of resistance to bullets, the bullets fired by Sato's M4A1 carbine are powerful and still embedded in Asagiri's calf muscles. The impact of the bullets caused the bones in both of his calves to crack.

"Now I should just let go..."

Just when Sato was about to make a slight mockery with a smile on his face, he found that even though the bones in both calves were broken, Asagiri still did not let go of his hand, and even his eyes did not waver, and the hands holding his wrists tightened.

"Click."

Asagiri crushed the bones in Sato's wrists. Sato's palms lost feeling, his fingers became uncontrollable, and the automatic rifle fell to the ground.

"Mr. Sato!"

Seeing this, Koji Tanaka immediately wanted to aim at the direction where Sato and Asagiri were standing and shoot, but at this moment, a crimson cloak first came into his sight, followed by a flashing sword light.

Asuna Yuuki held the Exorcist's sword strengthened by the "Divine Protection of Wind", and the sharp blade directly cut off Koji Tanaka's arms.

On the other side, Kato Megumi saw that Nagai Kei had been resurrected and stood up shakily, so she threw the battle axe in her hand and hit Nagai Kei in the chest, causing the opponent to fly back several meters.

"Touch of the Dead."

It was not until this time that Kotoko Iwanaga finally took action. Dozens of pale ghost hands emerged from the ceiling, the walls on both sides, and the ground, and directly wrapped around Asagiri and Sato's bodies.

Touch of the Undead is an area attack skill that does not distinguish between friend and foe. Asagiri naturally knew this, but he still did not dodge. Instead, after breaking Sato's wrist, he pinched Sato's neck with one hand and quickly reached out with the other hand to remove and crush Sato's jaw, ensuring that even if the other party had poison in his mouth, he would not be able to swallow it.

The whole process takes less than five seconds.

Seeing those pale arms touching his body, Sato felt a dizziness and tiredness so strong that he could not even suppress the pain and just wanted to close his eyes. He immediately realized that these ghostly pale arms would absorb his mental power without hurting his body.

His consciousness gradually faded, and his vision began to become increasingly blurred.

"Is this... the feeling of defeat..."

Faced with this seemingly hopeless predicament, Sato's narrow eyes suddenly opened, revealing an excitement in them. He stared directly into the black eyes under Asagiri's mask, trying his best to make an indistinct sound.

"Tanaka!"

Hearing Sato's cry, Tanaka Koji, whose arms were cut off by Yuuki Asuna, suddenly opened his mouth and pushed out something like a remote control button with his tongue. Then he closed his upper and lower rows of teeth and pressed the red button with his teeth.

"Leader!"

Amidst Iwanaga Kotoko's horrified exclamation, a flash of fire suddenly burst out from Sato's abdomen. Asagiri immediately let go of the other person's hands and retreated with Yuuki Asuna and others.

"boom!!!"

The TNT that Sato had swallowed in advance exploded at this moment. The flames instantly swept across the entire corridor, and his body turned into powder in the flames of the explosion.

When the flames dissipated and Sato's body began to recover, a large number of black particles suddenly emerged around him, condensing into one after another, until there were nearly twenty black human-shaped IBMs.

"It's just one move away."

Asagiri looked down at the horrific wound in his abdomen caused by the shrapnel explosion, and felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred. Then he looked at the nineteen black IBMs standing between Sato and the four members of the team, and he understood everything.

"Did you die from excessive mental exhaustion, triggering the Black Flood?... The four of us were already at our limit, unable to break through so many IBM defenses and kill you. As expected of Sato, but..."

Having said that, Asagiri suddenly changed the subject, looked at Sato who slowly stood up with a mocking look in his eyes, took out a light gold pocket watch from his arms, and said in a calm tone.

"Being a player is your most fatal weakness."

"Tick...tick...tick..."

The moment the pocket watch disappeared from Asagiri's hand, a strange sound like the movement of clock hands suddenly rang out around him. Even stranger, Sato discovered that everything around him, including his own body, was rapidly moving backwards, as if...

Time is flowing backwards.

"Boom."

Kei Nagai and Koji Tanaka, who were pretending to be dead members of the mobile force, saw Sato's body suddenly fall down. Their faces changed involuntarily, and Koji Tanaka hurried forward to ask.

"Mr. Sato, what's wrong!?"
