Time rewound to a little earlier...
Fang Wuwei originally intended to go to class and get the self-criticism over with, but suddenly the system, which had been silent in his mind, sprang to life.
"Received a distress signal from World F-BTR028. Repeat, received a distress signal from World F-BTR028.
Host, please proceed immediately. Please proceed immediately."
It was a mission, and a big one at that. Was it appropriate to be given such a major task right after starting an internship?
Fang Wuwei frantically requested leave, ignoring Nanase-sensei's displeased expression, and quickly fabricated a reason about "family matters" to get permission.
As for whether it was true? Please, Fang Wuwei didn't even have a home; he was a lone wolf. Where could anyone verify it?
The cause of Fang Wuwei's original family's death was very simple: a mere car accident, with only Fang Wuwei surviving out of a family of three. For the same reason, because he couldn't repay the mortgage, Fang Wuwei moved out of the apartment above Yuta's home, allowing the Takanashi family to move in. The house he currently lived in was a two-story villa left by his deceased grandparents, but it was very remote. However, for Fang Wuwei, it didn't matter.
"System, begin," Fang Wuwei said, putting down his phone and ensuring nothing was left behind. He hid in the restroom, preparing for his first business trip.
The system didn't respond, but as soon as Fang Wuwei's voice fell, a black vortex, accompanied by a continuous echo resembling shattering glass, stood before him.
A portal.
Fang Wuwei took a deep breath and slowly walked into it. He didn't know what the situation would be like on the other side, but no matter what, he trusted the system wouldn't trick him.
...
In this world, technology was far more advanced than in the Chuunibyou world Fang Wuwei came from. It was a world around 2021, with towering skyscrapers and far more people than his original world.
In a dark corner of this world, four figures stood, shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to discern who they were. Occasionally, a spark or two flew out; the burning cigarette butts were the only source of light, flickering on and off.
The four stood silently. Soon after, two more figures leaped down from a high place and joined them.
"How is it?" A voice emerged from the darkness. From the sound, it could be judged that the speaker was an elderly man.
"The day after tomorrow," one of the remaining two replied as they walked towards the shadows. "The day after tomorrow, their school will hold a School Festival. The Kessoku Band's four members will also perform on stage. At that time, Hoshika, Hiroi... all the valuable targets will be there, and there will be many people, it will be lively."
"That's right," another person spoke. "With so many people, plus that group of protagonists, if we kill them all, we should get a lot of points and then complete the Main God's mission to leave. That would be best."
"Alright," the old man who had spoken earlier said again. "Although killing a minor character only gives 1 point, there's strength in numbers. Plus, with that group of protagonists, we should be able to gather enough points to complete the mission. If not, at most it'll be a bit troublesome; we can just find another place to ambush them. As long as we're not wanted by the police or military, everything's fine. They're just ordinary people; killing them is too easy."
"Be careful of everything," another person spoke. Their voice was impossible to discern as male or female. "Don't fall into a trap."
"Hmph," yet another person said, their alluring voice making one's heart flutter. "We've even survived such a dangerous zombie world; are we afraid of falling here? Besides, if there's real danger, Brother Wei will definitely protect us, right?"
"Hahahahahahaha..."
The old man laughed uproariously, but before he could finish, a bird suddenly flew overhead, and a splat of bird droppings landed on him...
— — — — This is a not-so-cute dividing line — — — —
The moment Fang Wuwei arrived in this world, an electronic radar map appeared in his mind, similar to those in games. On the map, six bright red dots were marked, clustered together, immediately indicating something was amiss.
The place they gathered was an alley near a high school called Shuhua High School, which was some distance from Fang Wuwei's current location in Shimokitazawa, so there was no immediate danger of encountering them.
Secondly, no matter how arrogant Fang Wuwei was, he didn't think he could take on six people head-on, especially since he was still a weakling with Strength 16 and Agility 19.
After some training, his attributes had grown rapidly, but undeniably, he was still a weakling. Although compared to normal humans, he could now punch through a skull and kick back a car, this time the enemies were likely Transmigrators with superhuman strength like his. He had to be extremely careful.
Therefore, Fang Wuwei decided to first lie low and follow them to prepare for an ambush, and also to figure out which world this was, which would make it easier for him to pinpoint the protection targets.
So, just as Fang Wuwei was about to set off to find the protection targets, he saw the pink, yellow, and blue quartet pass by, and Fang Wuwei immediately knew where he was...
"Bocchi the Rock!," a music anime that was still quite popular when Fang Wuwei transmigrated. It was pretty good.
Fang Wuwei was slightly relieved. In a world completely devoid of supernatural elements, the enemies couldn't possibly be world-destroying beings, could they?
They shouldn't... be, right?
Anyway, since he was already here, he should fulfill his duty. Hmm... he also needed to scout the enemy and gather intelligence about this world. The system was too stupid; he had to do these tasks himself. Why was his life so tough?
— — — — This is not a dividing line — — — —
As night fell, standing on a rooftop overlooking the pink-haired girl walking home alone, Fang Wuwei began to meticulously sort through the intelligence he had gathered on his phone.
First, Shuhua High School was Bochi Jiang's school, and that school would begin its annual School Festival the day after tomorrow. At that time, the Kessoku Band and others would be present. That should be their timing for attack. Killing people, especially protagonists, would lead to the leakage and damage of the world's origin. So, once the battle began there... the consequences would be unimaginable...
He had to deal with these few people within two days. Thinking of this, Fang Wuwei's head swelled. He didn't even know what those six enemies looked like, and he had to eliminate them all before the School Festival began.
Just as Fang Wuwei was pondering how to deal with this group, he suddenly noticed that the six red dots had already scattered, and one of them was heading towards Fang Wuwei's area, and very quickly...
Meanwhile, earlier.
The group of six squatted idly on the ground, no longer pretending to be profound. They smoked and drank as they pleased. After all, this was just an ordinary modern world; there was no need to be on edge every day like they were during the Resident Evil apocalypse.
"Hey, boss, are we just going to squat here for two days?" One of them couldn't hold back. They had finally come to a modern civilized world, and they were just going to squat here without doing anything?
The leading old man pondered for a moment. He thought it made sense and looked at his curvaceous female companion beside him. "Alright, everyone can move freely for these two days. The day after tomorrow afternoon, gather here. Remember, we need to keep a low profile right now."
"Woohoo~" X4
"Then I'm going to find a chicken..."
"Drink, drink~! Are you coming?"
"Yes! Must go! Hey, where's my wallet?!"
"Oh, just kill someone and rob them, isn't that enough?"
The crowd dispersed noisily, and even the leader, the old man, took his female companion, preparing to relax.
It was under these circumstances that one person took a train to Shimokitazawa, intending to get some sleeping tea, but...
Instead of encountering Beast Senpai, he encountered the person he absolutely did not want to meet...
