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

073 Please Die for Me

Without any hesitation, Yuuki Asuna immediately returned to the morgue and planned to close the door first.

Although she was not sure whether the metal door of the morgue could withstand the attack of so many zombies, she was certain that there were at least hundreds of zombies pouring in at that moment.

It is too difficult to fight those things in the narrow corridor. Even Asagiri's Human Shura can hardly withstand the impact of such a large number of zombies at this stage. Once the Human Shura is destroyed, Asagiri will have no chance to summon it again.

The only chance is...

"Leader, use that tool!"

The only solution Yuuki Asuna could think of was to let Asagiri use the "Reverse Pocket Watch" to turn back the time to one minute. Although it was a bit of a waste to use a red epic-quality item at this time, she couldn't think of a better solution for the time being.

However, Asagiri's next action was beyond Yuuki Asuna's expectations.

He first pulled open the metal bed compartment with the "Voector" label and the corresponding information, and when he saw that there was nothing on it, he muttered to himself.

"No bile sample? Never mind. I hope that thing can do something similar."

Immediately afterwards, under the shocked gazes of Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi, Asagiri rushed out of the morgue and closed the door behind her.

"Asagiri!"

Whenever Yuuki Asuna forgets to call out the code name and calls out Asagiri's name instead, it means that she is really panicked.

She immediately ran to the door and wanted to open it to chase after him, but was stopped by Iwanaga Kotoko.

"He's not the kind of person who seeks death. Since he went out on his own, it means he must have thought of a better solution."

"But..."

Feeling the slight tremor of the ground and listening to the roars and footsteps of zombies that became clearer and clearer as they got closer even through a metal door, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but look anxious.

Before she could speak, Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head and said softly.

"Believe him."

...........

On the other side, Asagiri, who came to the corridor on his own initiative, looked at the dense tide of corpses that was less than ten meters away from him. There was no panic on his face. Instead, he glanced to the other side and muttered to himself.

"Ten meters... At that distance, it should be about right."

Immediately afterwards, Asagiri turned around without hesitation, and a glass bottle appeared in his right hand.

He smashed the bottle directly against the wall, and as transparent liquid flowed out from the gap, a pungent smell of alcohol filled the air.

"come."

Asagiri stepped back, holding a glass bottle of medical alcohol that kept flowing out of it, looking at the tide of corpses in front of him, and spoke with a smile.

"Come quickly, dinner is ready."

In fact, there is no need to attract the morning mist specifically. Although the zombies' sense of smell is not particularly sensitive, the pungent smell of alcohol in the air and the constantly moving morning mist itself have completely attracted their attention.

"Five meters...three meters...one meter..."

As Chaowu retreated, he silently calculated the distance in his mind. When he reached about twenty meters away from the morgue, the nearest zombies with hideous faces were less than two meters away from him, opening their smelly mouths, trying to tear apart the delicious meal in front of them.

"arrive."

At this critical moment, Asagiri suddenly stopped, and then a black summoning device appeared in his hand and pointed at his temple.

"Persona, Human Shura!"

The tall man Shura appeared instantly, protecting Chaowu with one arm and using the other arm to directly slap away the zombies that wanted to bite him.

After summoning the Human Shura, Chao Wu did not retreat. Instead, under the protection of the Human Shura, he advanced instead and rushed directly into the tide of zombies.

"One meter, three meters, five meters... ten meters."

After going ten meters deep into the tide of zombies, Shura, whose body had been torn into many holes, swung out his two arms, temporarily repelling the surrounding zombies and clearing the area about one meter around Chaowu.

The next second, Ren Shura's figure disappeared, replaced by a tarot card emitting a faint glow and printed with the image of the Grim Reaper.

The card spun and landed gently in Asagiri's palm. He crushed it without hesitation and spoke softly.

"Persona."

"Alice."

The moment Asagiri finished speaking, Alice, wearing a dress, with blonde hair and blue eyes, appeared with a teddy bear in her arms. Facing the horrific-looking hordes of zombies in front and behind her, she had a simple, innocent and sweet smile on her face, and she smiled in a soft voice.

"Will you please die for me?"

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

Inside the morgue at this time.

"Why did the sound... disappear?"

Asuna Yuuki put her ear against the cold metal door, listening carefully to the noise outside, feeling nervous and worried.

The noisy sound that was originally mixed with the roars and footsteps of zombies suddenly stopped in a few seconds. It was then followed by a series of muffled sounds, and then... it turned into an eerie silence.

What happened?

Could it be that... Asagiri is dead?

This is impossible. If he really died in the tide of zombies, the "Reverse Pocket Watch" should have been triggered immediately. How could it turn out like this?

"Open the door."

After hearing what Iwanaga Kotoko said, Yuuki Asuna nodded and immediately opened the door leading to the corridor. However, when they went out, the scene they saw made her and Kato Megumi completely stunned. They couldn't even believe their eyes.

The zombies that were like locusts just now had lost their vitality. Their corpses were piled up nearly half a meter high and covered the entire corridor.

Asagiri was not far away. He had no injuries on his body, and even his clothes were not in disarray. He just walked towards here step by step, on the road paved with corpses.

"What the hell is this..."

"Knew it."

While Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi were still in shock, Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Asagiri who was walking towards her and spoke with a smile.

"You summoned Alice, didn't you?"

"Ah."

Asagiri walked closer, gently jumped down from the corpse, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Zombies have weak mental resistance and like to huddle together, making them perfect for Alice's abilities. Oh, and there seems to be a special infected person among the zombies. It's one of those bruisers with one extremely thick arm and the other thin and deformed. Alice's ability also killed it instantly."

After hearing this, Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi just remembered that Asagiri possessed not only Shura, but also Alice, who was subdued in the last hotel copy.

Alice's unique skill...

[Please Die for Me: When you summon Alice, you will consume a large amount of mental energy, causing her to launch a curse-attribute attack centered on you, targeting all targets within a ten-meter radius except you. Any target whose mental energy fails the test and who is not immune to curse-type attacks will die immediately.]

Through the previous test of Kotoko Iwanaga's skills, the team members already knew that the mental resistance of the infected, that is, zombies, was not high. The mental resistance of ordinary infected people could even be said to be negative, which could make the "Cursed Gaze", which originally only played a disruptive role, have the effect of instant killing.

Coincidentally, "Please Die for Me" is a large-scale attack that determines the enemy's mental resistance and kills instantly. Moreover, the range of this skill is completely different from the skill range of Yuuki Asuna's "Thorns". It does not choose a direction or a line of ten meters, but forms a three-dimensional sphere with a radius of ten meters with Asagiri himself as the center.

Asagiri had just taken the initiative to rush into the tide of zombies and calculated the distance of ten meters, just to ensure that there were zombies ten meters in front and behind him, so as to maximize the impact range of Alice's skills. After all, no matter how many enemies are in the range, the mental power consumed by summoning Alice to use exclusive skills is the same, so it is definitely more reasonable to use it only once and eliminate all zombies.

"So that's it..."

Yuuki Asuna finally understood and asked curiously.

"You rushed out just now because you were worried that Alice's skills would affect the three of us?"

"There are considerations in this regard."

After hearing what Asagiri said, before Yuuki Asuna had time to feel touched, she heard the other party add with a smile.

"I finally managed to gather the three great families together. Don't let me accidentally kill them again."

"You...be serious!"

Yuuki Asuna said this angrily at first, then paused, and couldn't help but move closer to Asagiri, staring at the other's face, with worry in her eyes, and said softly with concern.

"You've consumed a lot of mental energy. Are you feeling okay now?"

Asagiri nodded and replied with a smile.

"I feel a little dizzy, but overall I'm OK. After all, the Human Shura wasn't destroyed this time, so I didn't consume any extra physical and mental energy."

"Then take a break?"

"Need not."

Asagiri waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"My condition hasn't been affected too much. It's better to clear the game as soon as possible and get a high-level clearance rating. Besides..."

Having said that, Asagiri paused for a moment before continuing.

"Let's put aside the reasons for the zombie tidal wave and why those zombies move so quickly. From a game mechanics perspective, their sudden appearance is either because we did something wrong, triggering a penalty level that shouldn't have appeared. Or, like in the last hotel dungeon, where we had to overcome seven floors of earthbound spirits to reach the fifth floor where the Exorcist's sword was stored, there's a hidden reward there, which is why there's a challenge that's worth the reward."

074 Hidden Rewards

More than ten minutes later, just as Asagiri said, the four of them found several items of special value in a room that was originally locked and looked like an office. They were like the Exorcist's sword in the last hotel copy, and they would trigger an APP prompt.

[Field First Aid Medical Kit: A medical kit containing painkillers, bandages, disinfectant alcohol, skin staplers, gauze and other first aid items]

[Specialized Adrenaline: Within ten minutes of using this item, the player will enter a state of hyperactivity, significantly increasing their mental and physical strength, greatly reducing their perception of pain, and significantly enhancing their five senses. However, after the effect of the drug wears off, the player will enter a state of weakness due to overdrawn energy. Excessive mental or physical exhaustion may even put their life in danger. Please use with caution.]

The team members all realized the value of these two items.

The battlefield first aid medical kit is a very valuable item. Although the team members have not suffered any injuries in the dungeon so far, a medical kit is still necessary as a guarantee for emergencies even if it is not used.

And the special adrenaline...

The effect of this thing is that it is a trump card that will only be used when absolutely necessary or in a critical moment.

These two very valuable items are merely accessories compared to the last reward.

[Sniper Rifle (Full Magazine, 7.62 Rounds): A solid black gun with a -round magazine. This is a police-grade sniper rifle with a mm caliber bullet. It's a heavy weapon with excellent accuracy and power.]

"Sniper rifle..."

Iwanaga Kotoko, Yuuki Asuna, and Kato Megumi were all stunned when they saw the pitch-black sniper rifle hanging on the wall, which exuded a sense of deterrence.

Is this the equipment that should appear at this stage?

Sniper rifles are not like the ones in TV dramas or animations. Even if you are hit by a bullet, as long as the bullet does not hit a vital part, the rifle can still talk or even walk.

The reality in the real world is...

In the face of a 7.62mm caliber, rapidly rotating bullet, the human body is extremely fragile. The part that is hit will not just have a bloody hole, but will be instantly torn apart by the terrifying rotational force of the bullet, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. There is no need for a headshot or anything like that. If it hits the leg, the leg will be gone, if it hits the arm, the arm will be gone, and if it hits the abdomen, it will even split the enemy's body in two.

The value of this weapon is undeniable, the only problem is...

"Is there anyone among us who can use a sniper rifle?"

Seeing that Iwanaga Kotoko, Kato Megumi, and Yuuki Asuna were all looking at him with expectation, Asagiri, who was sitting there resting, was a little speechless.

"What do you think I am? A city soldier king? Even in the military, there are very few snipers who are capable of using sniper rifles skillfully. How could I possibly use a sniper rifle? Don't be ridiculous."

"That's such a shame."

Hearing Yuuki Asuna's words with a hint of regret, Asagiri smiled.

"What's so regrettable about this? We can't aim at a distance, but can't we shoot at close range? Anyway, just take it away first."

Yuuki Asuna nodded and then asked.

"Hmm... then how should these things be distributed?"

When Kato Megumi heard Yuuki Asuna's question, she remained calm on the surface, but she couldn't help feeling a little nervous in her heart.

Compared to the dangers in dungeons, the reward distribution process is actually the one that is most likely to lead to conflicts. This is true even in online games, not to mention games where players personally participate and there is a real risk of death.

Who wouldn’t want to take all the rewards for themselves and ensure that they have the highest survival rate in the dungeon?

Even if that weren't the case, emotionally speaking, since I joined the team last, I probably wouldn't have the chance to get those items...
