In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

"Theoretically speaking, that might indeed be the case."

Chen Yi still harbored some wishful thinking and took a few steps down the stairs to see if the cement wall was sealed underneath.

Shining the flashlight downwards, I saw a spider-man retract its limbs.

"boom!"

Chen Yi fired instantly; the .45 caliber bullets created a large crater in the floor but missed their target.

Chen Yi instantly threw away the toy rifle on his back, put the pistol back into the quick-draw holster, and with a flick of his wrist, the acid-corroding rifle appeared.

The tactical lights flashed, and Chen Yi descended into the mezzanine, firing at the Spider-Man who was trying to escape.

Bullets flew out like water splashing, and Chen Yi turned off the strobe of his tactical light, illuminating the basement's decor.

Chunks of flesh, a gray, radiating spiderweb structure, and the spider-man we just killed...

This is all that's visible from this narrow field of vision.

"Kato-kun, did you bring your phone?" Chen Yi asked, raising his voice slightly.

"I brought it," Kato Megumi replied.

"...You come down to my position, then take photos as evidence. I'll cover you during this time."

Kato walked downstairs in small steps, then took out his phone and started recording.

Is this the area?

On her screen was the area illuminated by Chen Yi's tactical light.

"Yes, we'll leave once we've collected the evidence and let the professionals handle it."

Chen Yi remained vigilant, taking a slight detour, and for the time being found no unusual activity at the stairwell.

"I'm done filming."

"Then let's go..."

"careful!"

A figure suddenly darted out, its sharp keratinous skin striking Chen Yi's raised hand axe, causing a sharp pain in his hand.

They caught the sneak attack, but didn't completely defend against it.

The hand axe slipped from his hand instinctively, and at the same time, Kato's phone fell to the ground. Kato Megumi reacted and fired the gun the instant Chen Yi blocked the dummy's sneak attack.

Kroos appeared, caught the falling axe, and slashed upwards, severing one of the black monster's forelimbs.

The black monster broke free after its attack, its footsteps disappearing into the underground corridor.

"Chen! Are you alright?"

Anxiety crept into Kato's unchanging tone.

"Thank goodness..." Chen Yi raised his gun and pointed it at the stairwell. The opponent had already disappeared after the attack, leaving only a severed limb and a large pool of blood on the ground.

"What was that... just now?"

Is this another joint hunt? Isn't this Spider-Man territory?

Chen Yi looked down at his swollen hands, then at the bloody scene in the basement.

"Let's go first. That thing has its eyes on us. Let's get to a sunny place."

"I almost managed to keep it," Kroos said with some regret; she had clearly aimed for the head.

"Never mind that for now, let's get out of here." Chen Yi covered the rear, letting Kato go first.

"Wait, didn't that phone fall on the ground?"

Chen Yi hadn't taken more than a few steps when he suddenly turned around, took small steps downstairs, and tried to grab his phone with his injured hand.

The grass has fallen again!

Unable to grip his phone with his injured finger, Chen Yi looked up and saw a dark figure around the corner.

"Bang!" Kato, who was on the stairs, fired at the black figure who was trying to launch a second sneak attack, instantly splitting his head open.

But the other party was not dead at all, and roared as it grabbed at Chen Yi.

Kroos moved swiftly, kicking the monster down the stairs, and raised an even more bizarrely shaped rifle, its roaring bullets carrying an eerie purple light.

The black monster lying directly below the stairwell struggled to get up, but its bones slowly twisted as if falling apart, eventually disintegrating into a mass of flesh wrapped in skin and collapsing into the purple liquid.

"Commander! Are you alright?" Kroos turned around to help Chen Yi up.

Chen Yi put his phone in his pocket and waved his hand gently.

"I'm not in much trouble."

It's not that I didn't have the ability to counter that thing, but Kroos beat me to it.

"Kato-kun, your phone."

“Chen, you don’t actually need to go get it. As long as the two of us run out and act as witnesses, it will attract attention.”

Kato Megumi remained silent for a while before answering.

"I didn't think of it for a moment..." Chen Yi shrugged. He wasn't always able to make the right decisions, and this time it was indeed a problem of his lack of consideration.

Fortunately, apart from him, Kato was not injured.

“…Then this must be Miss Kroos.” Kato turned his gaze to Kroos.

"You can be seen?" Chen Yi turned around in surprise and found that Kroos's phantom seemed different from usual, much more solid.

So Chen Yi directly pinched Kroos's cheek.

“Finger!…” A blush instantly appeared on Kroos’s face.

Grade 11: Chapter 207 The Boiling Phenomenon Conjecture

Chapter 207

"How did you trigger this state?" Chen Yi looked her up and down with some curiosity, then pulled the flashbang off Kroos's clothes and tossed it around lightly.

"It seems to be true..."

"Commander, this is real... Let's leave the old teaching building first... Is your hand alright?"

“That’s right, we should notify the others first…” Chen Yi raised his hand and examined it carefully. His palm was deformed, so it must be broken.

"Speaking of which... has there been any progress on that dark figure from before?" Chen Yi thought to himself, looking at Kroos's figure gradually becoming blurred.

"...If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably the Hokkaido Night Dog, but I don't know why it's here."

"What kind of breed is the Hokkaido Night Dog?" This was the first time Chen Yi had ever heard of a pseudo-human being named after a region.

"The Hokkaido Night Dog is a pseudo-human species with solitary characteristics first discovered in Hokkaido. Its habits and postures are similar to those of canines, hence the name Hokkaido Night Dog."

"Its characteristics are... the speed and strength of a black bear."

Kato explained.

"Kato-kun knows so much," Chen Yi exclaimed.

"It was discovered on the spot."

"..."

That's fine.

The distance between Hokkaido and Tokyo is obviously not as far as the distance between Izu and Latin America, but it is not a distance that a mindless pseudo-human could travel over, unless the pseudo-human has evolved species migration.

This possibility still exists. After all, throughout history, the speed of pseudo-human evolution has been closely related to the progress of human technological development, as if some macroscopic hand is controlling everything.

As for the spider and its nest...

"Kato-kun, I don't think there will be any more wargames organized by the school in the future."

"Huh? Why?"

Kato's tone didn't betray any surprise.

"Because the spider-men here are very likely the same group that wasn't completely wiped out last time, for safety's sake, I estimate that the teaching building next door will also need to be sealed off."

Chen Yi shrugged and explained.

"That's a pity."

Kato's tone didn't betray any regret.

"Kato-kun, you seem to be acting like some enlightened monk..."

Chen Yi couldn't help but complain.

"My hair looks great!"

Kato, who was walking ahead, turned around and tossed her short hair.

"..."

Oh, so you mean you don't want to shave your head, right?

Chen Yi thought for a while before he understood what it meant.

"Then let me use another analogy... Kapibala?"

"Mmm, so cute."

A hint of satisfaction appeared on Kato's face, but it was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

......

That's roughly the situation...

Chen Yi quickly explained the situation, and with the video recorded by Kato as evidence, the school had no choice but to take it seriously.

The wargame was eventually stopped, and at the same time, ATSS vehicles quickly arrived at the scene and cordoned off the surrounding area.

Although it's frustrating that wargames were suspended, the resulting school closures for at least a week aren't all that bad.

Yes, although the suspension of classes is essentially a last resort to ensure safety.

Chen Yi, who had successfully retired, asked Hiratsuka Shizuka for leave after being persuaded by the members of the Service Club, and left the school ahead of time to deal with his hand injury.

"So you came to me to treat your hand injury?"

Maruki Takuto turned off the visual novel without changing his expression, then glanced at Chen Yi sitting in the patient's seat.

"Well, there's also some new progress on the boiling phenomenon. You said you could handle surgery, so I figured I'd save myself two trips to the hospital."

"With your condition, you're bound to have to go to the hospital a lot... Alright, although I'm not very good at orthopedics, there are other doctors in the clinic. Go upstairs and find one. You can come down after you're done... But you probably won't be able to make it back for lunch, so I'll bring you some."

"Just don't make it spicy."

"Our tastes are so different..."

Dr. Maruki waved his hand, and Chen Yi put down his things, left the consultation room, and went upstairs to look for it as he had instructed.

The condition of the hand is not complicated; there are just some cracks in the metacarpal bones, that's all. With proper rest, it should be fine.

As for the boiling phenomenon...

"You mean... the boiling phenomenon is very likely due to pseudo-human factors? Interesting. This conjecture was proposed in the last century, but no one could find any evidence to support it. May I ask how you came to this conclusion?"

Dr. Maru was slurping noodles when Chen Yi glanced at his bright red soup and shivered.

Compared to Japanese people, Dr. Maruki's tastes are more like those of people from Jincheng or Xiangzhou.

“Oh, I used to know a friend from Jincheng.” Dr. Maru looked up at him and guessed what Chen Yi was thinking.

"So how did you arrive at that conclusion?"

Compared to the various conflicting arguments and clues in academia, the information from the parties involved is clearly more reliable.

"I did some research and found that not all veterans exhibited the boiling point of trauma; it was more common among veterans who fought in the same battle."

"The prevailing theory in academia is that it is a regional phenomenon, with an unobservable magnetic field in that land prone to boiling."

Dr. Maru explained that he was eagerly anticipating Chen Yi's next words.

"Have you had genetic testing done?"

"The results of genetic testing invariably point to results without human intervention."
