"I couldn't resist having such a lovely girlfriend."

"Okay, that's almost it."

When Asagiri praised her for being cute, Yuuki Asuna's eyes lit up with joy. She then gently nudged Asagiri's shoulder and softly reminded her.

"Go back to sitting on the stairs. Don't get accidentally involved in the fight and get injured. As for capturing that guy, leave it all to me."

……

An hour later, in the corridor on the ground floor of the Jushan Mental Hospital building.

Twelve fully armed Blackwatch members, dressed in tactical mobility suits, tactical riot helmets, and infrared night vision goggles, were advancing cautiously in battle formation.

"Team A is heading to the elevator entrance."

Just as the commander finished speaking, he suddenly saw a ragged, disheveled mental patient appear in the distance of the corridor.

The moment the other party appeared, its head turned at an angle of over 180 degrees, its neck twisted beyond the limits of a normal person, and its pale white pupils, overflowing with blood and tears, stared intently at the members of Blackwatch.

The next second, the demon let out a sharp roar, its feet not even touching the ground, and floated over at an extremely fast speed.

"Switch to anti-spirit ammunition."

Upon hearing the squad commander's order, the two Blackwatch members at the front swiftly removed the magazines from their automatic rifles, then pulled out new magazines from their left sides, installed them, and pulled the triggers.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three bullets fired from the muzzle, accurately hitting the demon's head. The demon let out a sharp, piercing roar, its body twisting and writhing before dissipating into a wisp of black smoke.

"The target has been eliminated."

After confirming that the evil spirits had dissipated, the squad commander continued to observe for a while. Just as he was about to give the order to continue forward, he suddenly felt a pang of fear.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the ceiling above them burst open, and a mysterious figure wearing a long black trench coat and a dark gray mask landed right in the middle of their formation.

"Persona, Alice".

"Please die for me."

The moment Alice appeared, Asagiri activated her special skill, and seven of the twelve Blackwatch members slowly collapsed to the ground, completely losing their breath.

"This is……"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the morning mist and the blonde, blue-eyed, adorable little girl who seemed completely out of place in the eerie and terrifying Giant Mountain Mental Hospital, the squad commander's pupils dilated in shock. He immediately shouted a warning into the communication channel connected to his tactical headset.

"Squad A has discovered..."

Before the commander could finish speaking, Asagiri appeared in front of him like a ghost and snapped his neck with one hand.

Upon seeing this, the other four Blackwatch members immediately raised their automatic rifles, aimed at Asagiri, and quickly pulled the triggers.

"Human Asura".

The human summoned by the morning mist, Shura, used its tall, jet-black body to block all the bullets fired from the automatic rifles. The standard automatic rifles used by the Black Watch members, which were once able to kill it, could now hardly cause it any damage, leaving only dozens of slightly dented marks on its body.

"It's so boring."

After snapping the squad commander's neck, Asagiri turned and threw the rope dart in her hand, which pierced the neck of a Blackwatch member. Meanwhile, Ren Shura stretched out his hands and crushed the heads of two Blackwatch members.

Amidst the gradually spreading stench of blood, Asagiri looked at the last remaining member of the Blackwatch and spoke calmly.

How many people came this time?

"Die, monster!"

The Blackwatch member gritted his teeth, threw away his empty automatic rifle, took out a grenade from his waist, removed the pin, and charged towards Asagiri, attempting a self-destructive attack.

"boom!"

Asagiri kicked the other person away to the far end of the corridor, then turned around and looked at the corpse of the Black Watch member on the ground. The flash of the grenade explosion illuminated the originally dark, gloomy and terrifying corridor.

"You're already outdated."

Players, especially top players like Asagiri, have an incredibly fast growth rate.

When he first encountered Blackwatch members, he could only kill a few of them with a surprise attack, but this time, these ordinary Blackwatch members posed no threat to him.

Meanwhile, the remaining four Blackwatch squads inside the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital all heard the warning given by the commander of Squad A before his death.

"Found...found what...an evil spirit...or something else..."

Just as the commander of Squad B was pondering, nearly a hundred pale, ghostly hands suddenly appeared in the area where his squad was located.

Upon seeing this, his expression changed, and he immediately issued an order.

"Retreat and switch to anti-spirit weapon..."

Just as the commander of Squad B was speaking, a deep red figure suddenly came into view.

"Sword technique: Piercing the light."

Asuna Yuuki's sword technique, shimmering with light, pierced through the bodies of six Blackwatch members standing in a row. Then, seeing the remaining Blackwatch members raise their guns and point them at her, she flashed in front of one of them and stabbed him in the heart with her sword. The next second, she suddenly appeared in another place, shimmering with light in her hand and taking the life of another Blackwatch member.

Asuna Yuuki's speed was so fast that the Blackwatch members couldn't even see her movement trajectory, let alone aim at her.

This was not an evenly matched battle at all; it was a complete crushing of Blackwatch by the top "player" team at this stage.

Chapter 89 A Mere Black Watch

"That was really easy."

After Asuna Yuuki eliminated all members of the Black Watch team, Kotoko Iwanaga, Rikka Sakuragawa, and Keisai Kato emerged from the shadows.

Kotoko Iwanaga looked at the corpses of the dozen or so Blackwatch members and smiled slightly.

"With the Phantom's abilities, plus your speed, these guys don't even have a chance to aim and fire. It's too easy."

"After all, we are at the top of the current player level. If we can't even take down a small Blackwatch squad, that would be illogical."

Asuna Yuuki took a deep breath, calming her breathing, which had become somewhat rapid due to the battle. She flicked the blood stained with the shimmering light in her hand onto the ground, and then spoke in a calm tone.

"Let's check their equipment; we might be able to get some useful information."

In the battle just now, it seemed that Rikka Sakuragawa and Megumi Kato did not make a move, but Megumi Kato used her special skill on the other three to reduce their presence and ensure that they could gain the initiative in the battle. Rikka Sakuragawa, on the other hand, attached her black mist to Asuna Yuuki, so that even if Asuna was accidentally hit by a bullet, the damage would be transferred to Rikka Sakuragawa.

In the system's rating, this is considered as jointly eliminating the Black Watch Team, and will also earn bonus points for clearing the level. There won't be any situations like, "Oh, Utsunomiya Asagiri got MVP, but look at Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi, Iwanaga Kotoko and the others are just supporting, they're just easy wins! They're just easy wins!"

"it is good."

Rikka Sakuragawa knelt down on one knee, picked up an automatic rifle that a Blackwatch member had dropped on the ground, examined it for a moment, then threw it back on the ground. Next, she looked at the other person's waist, reached out and pulled out a magazine from the tactical belt, and said softly.

"The bullets here are different from ordinary bullets; they carry an aura of curse. The material of the bullet casing must be some kind of strange and evil substance."

"So, they've combined the bizarre with modern weaponry... Just as Leader said, this is how they deal with the supernatural... Wait, what is this thing?"

As Kotoko Iwanaga was speaking, she noticed that the tactical belts of the Black Watch members in front of her all contained something that looked like an adrenaline injector, except that the liquid inside was different colors: some were brownish-yellow, some were light green, and some were even blood-red.

She tentatively placed her hand on the surface of the adrenaline syringes, but the eye icon app on her phone did not give any notification, indicating that these items were not recognized by the system.

"This thing, could it be..."

Kotoko Iwanaga recalled her experience in the zombie instance, and combined it with the words spoken by the Black Watch Commander on the first basement level. Her dark purple eyes showed disbelief as she murmured.

"Could it be... a bodily enhancement drug? If that's the case, then this is going to be troublesome."

Asuna Yuuki and Megumi Kato had the same thought as Kotoko Iwanaga, and their expressions turned serious.

Zombies without reason are not scary. Like the witches and hunters they had encountered before, although their physical abilities were much stronger than those of ordinary humans, their intelligence was only average. Even the hunter who was rated as the most intelligent by Blackwatch was only about the same as a wild beast.

But if Blackwatch's elite members possessed such physical abilities and could also maintain their rationality, that would be a bit tricky.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the entrance hall on the first floor of the main building of Jushan Mental Hospital.

"Team A and Team B have lost contact."

The commander of Squad C heard the voices coming from the tactical channel and tried to contact the commanders of the other two squads, but received no reply. This confirmed that Blackwatch's testing ground, the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital, had been invaded by the enemy.

Furthermore, the enemy was very strong, so strong that the commanders of the two squads were killed before they could even report the situation.

"Injection reagent".

Upon hearing the commander's order, the Blackwatch members of Squad C immediately took out syringes from their tactical belts and injected the strange-looking liquid directly into their neck veins.

In just a moment, the bodies of the team members began to change.

Their eyes instantly turned bloodshot, the veins in their necks throbbed, and coupled with their black tactical gear, they looked like a demonic army with red eyes in the dim hospital, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

Just then, the two members at the front of the squad noticed a dark figure flash by in front of them. They immediately raised their automatic rifles and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

"Enemy spotted, 13 o'clock position."

The next second, a puppet girl's head suddenly extended rapidly from around the corner, accompanied by a soft clattering sound as the puppet's joints collided, and it lunged at the two Black Watch members at the front.

The moment the prototype Mita appeared, the two Blackwatch members facing it felt dizzy and even saw a strange, distorted illusion, like an abstract oil painting.

In that brief moment of hesitation, the prototype Mita had already bitten into one of the people's necks, but to its surprise, it failed to bite the neck off directly.

"boom!"

Another Blackwatch member finally broke free from the illusion's influence and immediately aimed at the real Mita's head and pulled the trigger.

The prototype Mita tilted its head back slightly, then tried to retract it. But at that moment, a Blackwatch member behind it rushed to the neck where its body and head were connected with an astonishing speed that exceeded human limits, and quickly drew a short blade from its waist and slashed down.

Just a second before the short blade was about to strike the original Mita's neck, the original Mita suddenly disappeared.

"Disappeared?"

Seeing this, the Black Watch member wielding the short blade did not lower his guard. Instead, he immediately looked around, the blood vessels in his eyes moving slowly, like a wild beast searching for its prey.

"There!"

When he saw a mysterious man standing there wearing a long black trench coat and a dark gray mask, he immediately warned the other team members. He himself got down on all fours and, with the movements of a wild beast hunting its prey, instantly sprang nearly ten meters away, pouncing on the mysterious man standing there.

"boom!!!"

After a loud bang that shook the ground slightly, the Blackwatch members saw that the mysterious man was still standing there unharmed, while the Blackwatch member who had been injected with the "Hunter" enhancement agent had sunk into the ground, with a sharp rope dart inserted into the back of his head.

"Excellent, a very good surprise attack."

Asagiri pulled on the chain in his hand, drawing out his rope dart. He first glanced at the corpse of the Blackwatch member on the ground, then looked up at the Blackwatch squad in the distance, speaking calmly.

"It almost made me laugh."

"This guy, could he be..."

Looking at Asagiri standing there, all the soldiers of the Black Watch remembered that name.

"shadow".

"Is this all there is to Blackwatch?"

Seeing Asagiri standing there quietly, the members of Blackwatch all took a deep breath. These battle-hardened soldiers, each one a handpicked elite, felt an unprecedented tension at this moment.

Meanwhile, Asagiri was also analyzing the situation in her mind.

Judging from the fact that the original Mita's bite failed to sever the person's neck, it seems that after being injected with that reagent, the team's various bodily functions were greatly enhanced, and depending on the type of reagent, they also seem to have acquired some of the abilities of the corresponding special infected individuals.

only……

"You are too weak."

As soon as she finished speaking, Asagiri charged towards the members of Blackwatch.

"shot!"

Without the commander giving a specific order, all the Blackwatch members raised their automatic rifles, pointed them at Asagiri, and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

Amidst the hail of bullets, Asagiri's figure slowed and swayed slightly. As she rushed forward, her right-hand rope dart pierced the chest of a Blackwatch member, while her left hand gripped the neck of another Blackwatch member. Then, she lifted the man's body with one hand and slammed him heavily to the ground.

"boom!!"

Cracks appeared on the hard tiled floor as Asagiri killed two members of Blackwatch in less than two seconds.

"Ordinary bullets are ineffective against him! This guy is a bizarre creature!"

Without hesitation, two Blackwatch members approached Asagiri from the left and right, while the rest of the Blackwatch members quickly retreated to change the magazines of their assault rifles.

"What a brainwashed bunch."

As the two Blackwatch members approached him, Asagiri knew that they weren't trying to kill him with their bare hands, but rather were trying to buy time for the other team members to reload their magazines, and were prepared to use their own lives to delay his progress.
