In the morning, the warm sun shone on a modern city that was densely packed with high-rise buildings. But unlike a bustling city, there was no human voice in this city. It was as quiet as a ghost town in a horror movie. However, on the streets between the buildings, there were a large number of humans wearing modern clothes, but compared to normal humans, their movements were much slower and weirder.
At this time, at the top of a 20-story high-rise building, a bright white beam of light suddenly fell from the sky and fell on the roof of the building.
"Boom!"
In the explosion of the light beam, the figures of Hirata Linghua, Sakuraba Sei, Nonit, the three Pandora, and several ninjas were revealed.
Sakuraba Sei, who adapted to the change of environment, stepped out of the huge magic circle that quickly disappeared, came to the edge of the building, and looked down.
"Did you find anything?" Hirata Linghua, who followed him to the edge of the building, looked down and asked with a puzzled look.
"Don't you think it's too quiet here?" Sakuraba Sei took a deep breath and turned to look at Hirata Linghua.
"Hearing what you said, it's true." When Ping Linghua heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she came back to her senses and nodded thoughtfully in response.
"And look, those cars parked on the side of the road." Then, Sakuraba Sei pointed at the faintly visible cars on the street below.
On the street below the building. Regardless of whether it was the taxis that were of the same color, or the small cars of different colors and shapes, or the large buses that were used for public transportation, or the large trucks that were used to carry goods, all of them seemed to have been cast with a Time Confinement Enchantment. They stopped on the road casually, without any intention of moving at all.
"What a strong smell of blood." Hirata Linghua looked down according to Sakuraba Sei's instructions. Because of the Holy Mark, her facial features were developed to a certain extent. And because of the frequent contact with bloody battles as a Pandora. The three Pandora, who were particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, wrinkled their noses and said.
At this moment, Ping Linghua and the others looked at each other at the same time, seeing the strange look in each other's eyes.
"No matter what the situation is, we have to complete the mission His Majesty has given us," Nonit, who had a military background, said seriously.
Ping Linghua and the others nodded. He expressed his approval.
"Then let's go down. Let's get closer to this strange world, "Nonite continued.
Regarding this. Naturally, no one had any objections. They walked together toward the passage that connected the roof and the interior of the building.
"Creak …" The strange sound of metal rubbing against each other came from the hinges of the door that Nonite pulled open.
This strange sound matched the current environment. This immediately caused everyone's hearts to tighten slightly. They raised their spirits 120% to deal with the situation that could happen at any time.
"Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta …"
Everyone walked up the cement stairs, step by step, into the building.
"So dark." After passing two corners of the stairs, the stairwell that could no longer receive the light from the door immediately became pitch black, causing Ping Linghua to involuntarily mutter in a low voice.
The moment her voice fell, a ball of light lit up in the pitch-black stairwell. And the source of the light was the baton-like portable light that Nonit took out at some point. It emitted a cold green light.
With the light source illuminating, everyone's footsteps couldn't help but quicken.
"Someone's here." After walking for an unknown amount of time, a swaying figure appeared in everyone's sight.
But in the next moment, the figure's movements paused and turned its head abruptly to look at Ping Linghua and the others.
It was a horrifying face. The skin was thin and tight, covered with dried blood. The facial features were distorted as if it was hit by a strong force. It was out of shape. There were two maggot-like creatures crawling in the empty eye socket that was missing an eyeball.
"Ugh." As soon as she saw this scene, Ping Linghua immediately turned her head to the side, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and made a retching sound from her mouth.
As for the others, Sakuragi Sei and Nonit have seen a lot of it. Apart from feeling a little disgusted, they didn't have any reaction. The three Pandora are used to it, so it doesn't matter. The newcomers who haven't seen blood before, although their faces were pale, their tenacious spirit made them not vomit. Therefore, they also maintained a standing posture and quickly took out a kunai from their ninja bag and held it in their hands.
Probably feeling something, the mummy roared, stretched its arms forward, and rushed toward Nonit and the others.
Nonit's reaction was very fast. He immediately took out a pistol from his waist and shot at the mummy.
"Pa, pa, pa, pa …" The crisp sound of the gun immediately echoed in the silent corridor.
However, what was unexpected and reasonable was that the dried corpse that was shot several times didn't fall to the ground and die like Nonit had expected. Instead, it continued to move towards them.
"Puff!"
The next moment, a black light flashed, and the mummy's head fell to the ground and rolled down the stairs.
"Plop." The headless corpse fell heavily on the ground.
"These are zombies. You can only kill them by chopping off their heads or blowing them up." Sakuraba Sei explained while holding a Gantz Katana that was dark, but the sword was thick and slightly glowing with blue light.
Obviously, the sharp blow just now was her masterpiece.
"Also, be careful not to be bitten by these things, otherwise, we are likely to become the same as them." Sakuraba Sei recalled the horror movies in Gantz world and the various horror movies he saw after entering Rubik's Cube world and said.
"Sei should have prepared an antidote for us. If there is an accident, take it immediately, there shouldn't be any problem. "At this time, Ping Linghua who slightly recovered from her disgust reminded.
"Not good." Suddenly, Sakuraba Sei's expression changed and said anxiously, "Sound, if the zombies here are really as described in the movies, then Nonit's gunshot must have alerted the other zombies in the corridor. Let's leave quickly."
Nonit frowned and quickly put the gun back on his waist. Then, he took out his knight sword from the space bracelet and held it in his hand.
"Let's go." Nonit said in a low voice.
Immediately. Everyone quickened their pace and rushed down, preparing to enter the building from the safety passage below.
However, just as Sakuraba Sei said, at this time, in this less than five meters long staircase. Dozens of zombies crowded together. They swarmed towards Ping Linghua and the others.
"Kill." Nonit said coldly.
"Puff!" A head. Under the sweep of Nonit's sword, it rolled and fell to the ground.
Seeing Nonit start killing, Sakuraba Sei and the others naturally didn't show any weakness. They all used their own methods to attack the zombies in the corridor.
Sakuraba Sei, who was standing in front of Nonit, waved his Gantz blade left and right. The blade of the blade sometimes became as long as a katana, and sometimes shortened into a katana. Together with Nonit, they became the gatekeepers, stopping the zombies from approaching.
The three Pandora summoned their own star weapons to help the two of them defend, in case they didn't take care of them and got bitten by the zombies.
As for the ninjas, they all jumped to the walls on the sides or the top. They stuck to the walls like geckos with suction cups on their feet, using kunai to harvest the zombies' lives from other directions.
Only Ping Linghua, who was holding the Gantz blade, didn't know where to start.
She had no choice, who told the terrain to be occupied by the others. Therefore, Ping Linghua had to kill the zombies, but she didn't know where to start. She was depressed but also happy.
However, the zombies were just corpses that still had the instinct to eat. No matter if it was fighting skills or weapons, they were no match for Nonit and the others. Therefore, even if there were a lot of them, they couldn't withstand the attacks of the group. It didn't take long for them to be cleared out.
"Let's go in."
Stepping on the corpses whose muscles were already stiff, the group left the safe passage and entered the building.
"It seems that the power has been cut off." Sakuraba Sei looked around the building and whispered, "I don't know if it's just this building, or the entire city's power has been cut off."
There was no choice, there were still a lot of zombies in this building. Even if they weren't strong, there were too many of them. Sakuraba Sei and the others couldn't kill them all. Therefore, instead of killing for a safe place, it was better to avoid fighting and reduce the trouble.
"It's probably the latter." Nonit said.
"If that's the case, we probably have to prepare food and drinking water. After all, even the power has been cut off, so the water must have stopped too." Sakuraba Sei said.
Nonit nodded, agreeing with Sakuraba Sei's words.
Although the space bracelets they carried must have emergency supplies given by Ito Sei, judging from the current situation of this world, they didn't know how long it would take to complete the exploration of this world. After all, in the current situation, the government definitely did not exist. If they wanted to complete the unification, they would have to occupy the gathering place. That was a very time-consuming thing, so they must have enough food and water to protect their lives. Otherwise, they might starve to death before they could carry out the mission of exploring this world.
Of course, they also knew that there were other Strategy Teams behind them or Reincarnators who had accepted the mission. Therefore, they didn't need to think too far ahead. However, they had to make appropriate preparations.
Just like the old saying, "As long as there's food, there's no need to panic."
After resting for a while, Ping Linghua and the others continued to move out of the building …
In another world, Tokyo. In the evening, a refreshing rain was falling. It was like a mirror, refracting the lights in the city into a hazy halo, adding a sense of elegance to the city.
"What's wrong?"
It was a rare sight for the head teacher to open the window of the office. The eagle, which shouldn't exist in the sky of the city, stepped on the open window. It tilted its head slightly and looked at the head teacher, Kurahashi Yaimi, who was sitting at the desk doing something.
"Really?" Kurahashi Yaimi didn't see the eagle doing anything, but she took off her reading glasses in surprise and turned to look at the eagle.
Obviously, the eagle had just transmitted a message to the head teacher, Kurahashi Yaimi, in a special way.
"It's probably the type that can be easily taken as a joke. However, at the very least, I don't want to be frightened by [Kurahashi no Stargazing]." At this moment, an old but light voice sounded from Old Eagle's body.
If Suzu Ito was here, she would realize that the old man's voice came from the eagle's body. It was her immediate superior, the head of the Spell Search Department, Oshima Amami.
Therefore, it was obvious that the eagle that shouldn't exist in the city was his shikigami!
"Is it Michio Ashiya's notice?" Kurahashi Yaimi asked softly.
"Yes. To be more specific, it's a [Challenge]. Because of him, the Yin-Yang Hall is in an uproar. " As Masayoshi Amami spoke, the simple Spirit-branded Retainer under his control opened its mouth wide and spat out a letter from its body. The letter floated directly onto Kurahashi Daimei's desk and displayed the contents of the letter.
"Michio Ashiya, come and receive your Raven Feather Weaving tomorrow. Seriously, we've been investigating for a long time without any news, and he suddenly made such a big move. Thanks to him, the Spell Search Department's reputation has been ruined. " Dasan Amami's words carried a hint of complaint and dissatisfaction. However, the feeling he gave off made people feel that he should be very excited right now. Come to think of it, he was the type of person who got stronger when encountering a strong opponent.
"Is it really him?" Kurahashi Yaimi asked seriously.
"If it's a trick, then it's a bit too much. [Raven Feather Weaving] is also [Raven Feather]. It's indeed very realistic to suggest this item at such an unfortunate time. Even if it's not [D] himself, he can't just leave this person alone. "
"But, why so sudden?"
"In terms of integrity, we have no clue. As the head of the Spell Search Department, I'm ashamed. However, after the Kabuto incident, there hasn't been any obvious movements. This is just my intuition. Based on their previous strategy, they won't act alone or directly. However, if they're acting alone, then the reason is incomprehensible. "
"How unreliable." Kurahashi Yaimi pretended to be dissatisfied.
