"Damn it, what the hell is wrong with this world..."
The woman had long pink hair and wore a pair of rather cartoonish headphones. She stood at the top of Tokyo Tower, one hand and one foot seemingly adhered to the tower body, allowing the other half of her body to move freely.
The woman, codenamed [Ling Ling], used optical instruments to clearly see the most prosperous area of Tokyo below.
What should have been the most bustling cityscape in Asia now resembled a nightmare.
The number of ghouls, their bodies twisted as they frantically attacked humans, was inestimable; ordinary humans had completely become prey.
More crucially, she saw two tall monsters with icy blue glowing eyes standing in a street full of corpses. With a single raise of their hands, all the corpses eerily rose simultaneously, transforming into new ghouls.
The good news was that the Japanese government had dispatched the Self-Defense Forces to set up a quarantine zone in the Shibuya direction. Creatures like ghouls, which were no different from zombies, could not cross the steel torrent of modern weaponry.
"Ling Ling reporting, observed two abnormal ghouls, coordinates are in the district 2 kilometers north of Tokyo Tower;"
Zzz~
Only static could be heard in her earpiece; no one replied.
Ling Ling felt even more uneasy. Her team, [Explosive Drumbeat], consisted of 7 people. In this team battle mission, as the third team to enter, they should theoretically have been a team judged by the space to be stronger.
However, after entering this world, they couldn't find the opposing Reincarnators team at all.
Upon deployment into Tokyo, they discovered that large numbers of ghouls had begun appearing in the Tokyo area.
Captain [Andre] judged that someone from the two Reincarnators teams who entered earlier had deployed a virus or created these monsters.
Two members of their team had broken through their limits and entered the second tier, so ghouls couldn't cause too much trouble.
Zzz~
The static continued, and Ling Ling's unease reached its peak. She prepared to leave this vantage point and return to her teammates.
[Team member TR13566690 has died, Team Battle Points -1, Current: -1]
[Team member BX54134479 has died, Team Battle Points -1, Current: -2]
[Team member DS71300144 has died, Team Battle Points -1, Current: -3]
A chill rose from her tailbone, and Ling Ling instinctively released the magic connecting her to Tokyo Tower, falling from the air.
The next moment, boom!
A distorted explosion suddenly erupted from where she had just stood. If she hadn't left that spot, she would have been caught in the blast.
Ling Ling's perception was excellent. She lowered her head and indeed saw a man in a special black bodysuit, holding a futuristic-looking long gun with both hands. The gun's blue-white light was now glowing again.
Ling Ling's arm touched the tower body again, and a series of magical patterns appeared from her arm. The woman's downward momentum instantly ceased, and with a swipe of her right hand, she had already circled around the tower body, hiding behind it.
Her heart turned cold. The captain's guess was correct; the Reincarnators who entered this Gantz world earliest would most likely be arranged to become members of Tokyo's Black Ball Squad.
With Gantz's technological equipment, this team's combat power would increase tremendously. Therefore, they should not directly fight the opponent but rather find a way to cooperate with the Japanese government and zaibatsu.
At this moment, she didn't even have time to think about who the three deceased individuals were before she began a high-speed descent from the other side of Tokyo Tower.
The Tokyo Tower, with a total height exceeding three hundred meters, saw the woman land in less than ten seconds. Then, with a forceful swipe of her right hand, the massive Tokyo Tower let out a terrifying creaking sound and began to tilt to one side.
She could change the properties of herself and the materials she touched. Although her energy attribute was very low, preventing her from casting very powerful magic, merely changing the local material properties of such a metal tower body was enough to completely destroy its stability.
The Tokyo Tower, a landmark of Tokyo, began to topple with a terrifying sound. The man standing on the Tokyo Tower observation deck, wearing a black Gantz Enhanced suit , also changed his expression, and vein-like patterns immediately appeared on his reinforced suit.
With his entire body's attributes enhanced, he immediately began running down the tilting Tokyo Tower.
Dada dada dada!
A torrent of metal now erupted, and heavy machine guns began sweeping the city indiscriminately. Ling Ling heard the sound and rejoiced; this was the signature firepower output of the man codenamed [HOT] in their team.
She immediately moved closer to that direction. Amidst the terrifying roar behind her, the Tokyo Tower crashed down, completely destroying an entire block.
The strong smell of blood even overshadowed the rising dust. Who knew how many humans and ghouls had died before this strike.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
A faint sound of air being torn apart rang out, and then the roaring heavy machine gun fell silent. The next moment, a black shadow streaked through the air. Ling Ling raised her hand, but a cold touch brushed across her throat.
Puff!
Blood spurted, and her consciousness rapidly began to blacken.
Ling Ling clutched her throat, turned around, and saw a petite woman who was not wearing the black reinforced suit. Instead, her entire body was covered in thick fur, and two cat ears poked out from her hair.
What made Ling Ling even more despairing was that the head of a silver-haired middle-aged man was held in this woman's hand.
"Andre... Captain..."
The petite woman licked the fur on her right hand, blue-white static flickering in the fur. Her eyes glowed with a faint green light as she swayed towards Ling Ling.
"I'm sorry, we're the kind of team that... concentrates combat power on a few members."
"I'm stronger than him."
Ling Ling's eyes blinked, and then she felt her body lighten. In her rapidly blackening vision, all that remained was her headless corpse slowly falling.
"Captain Bonnie, please come to Shibuya immediately. Our plan in Osaka has probably failed. That last team to enter, the [White Sanctuary] team, has some abnormal strength. The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons did not wipe them out."
The petite woman called Bonnie heard her teammate's call, placed the two Reincarnators' heads in front of her, then clasped her hands together and bowed devoutly. This was her unique ritual; she was merciless in battle, but bore no grudge against these two.
"I killed you, but I still hope you can be reborn."
The next moment, two scarlet drop cards condensed and appeared. Bonnie put them into her backpack, stomped her foot, and like a nimble cat, she leaped twice on the ruins of the collapsed Tokyo Tower and disappeared.
In a collapsed corner, a boy, his face covered in blood, covered a girl's mouth. The two were hiding by the entrance of a partially collapsed building.
"Brother, who are they? I'm so scared..."
"Where's Mommy? Where's Daddy?"
"I want Mommy, I want Daddy!"
The girl cried, and the boy also sat dejectedly on the ground. He instinctively tightened his grip on his sister's hand, not letting her get lost. Outside, there were monsters everywhere.
As for Mommy and Daddy, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a severed hand sticking out from the rubble. On that severed hand was a red toy watch. He remembered clearly that his sister had pouted and asked Daddy to wear it that afternoon.
After the disaster erupted, Daddy had clearly said that as long as they hid with everyone in this most prosperous place, someone would surely come to save them...
"Liar..."
The boy's eyes were also filled with fear and tears, but listening to the occasional wails from the ruins, he still stood up and forced a smile for his sister.
"Hua Zi, let's go find Mommy."
He saw a huge flying dragon in the distant sky, streaking across the night sky towards Shibuya.
The boy's eyes were a mix of fear and hatred.
"Those guys in black... they're liars too."
"All of you... go to hell..."
