Chapter 53: Enchanted Sicily (6) Camera and Human Experiments…
The player's strategy is simple: all Reborn needs is for the player to accept her commission when dealing with the Estoria family. This way, the player can participate with a legitimate reason, without having to worry about the twists and turns.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the world's number one killer, who is handsome, good-looking and has great taste, can agree to her request and take over her commission.
Yes, I'm talking about you - Mr. Reborn!
The player kept casting pitiful glances at the man who was watching the show.
"That's not enough to make me interested." Reborn was leisurely dealing with the documents he should take away. Looking at Aurora with a serious expression and a look of hard thinking, even his depressed mood improved a lot.
Such a thing actually happened in the other world under the Ninth Generation's rule. If the Estoria family was a small family, it would be fine, but it was neither big nor small, as if it was just at the bottom line...
The Estonia family, which was able to survive the multiple attacks from the new godfather and still retain considerable strength, must have the shadow of other forces behind it.
It's really a storm coming...
Mr. Killer, who was used to seeing blood, couldn't help but sigh at this moment, but the twists and turns behind this were obviously something that the ninth generation had to consider.
"So, have you decided on my compensation, Aurora?" Reborn said with a half-smile. "You have until we leave the archives to think about it."
Player: “…”
The player was just in a good mood and hadn't thought about how to invite this famous and wealthy black-haired killer - it turned out that he still needed something novel.
"Here, and here." The player took out a camera and a card and handed them to him. "If you take this, I'll take it as your agreement."
It's really a simple language trap.
"It's not enough to just talk, dear." Reborn said this, but for some reason, he still took the two items.
"This is……?"
He looked up, as if asking.
"Not bad, right?" The player had forgotten his previous purpose, and his face was full of smugness and pride.
"Just do this..." Taking the camera from Reborn's hand, the player lightly pressed it at him, and instantly the neatly tailored black suit turned into a primitive savage outfit. The processed animal skins were sewn with coarse needles and hung around his waist. There was inexplicably a stone axe in his hand, and even the black and yellow hat on the man's head was decorated with a few wild flowers, which was very appropriate.
“Super cool!”
The player whose evil plan succeeded: Hey hey.jpg
Reborn, who turned into a primitive man in a second: ...
[Dress-Up Camera: Simply insert a beautiful clothing blueprint and take a photo of someone. The camera instantly changes into a stylish outfit tailored to their body type. This is a favorite item for fashion-conscious young men and women, and may also be a favorite for those in specialized professions. Note: It comes with 300 clothing blueprints.]
"A dress-changing camera is a must-have for those with multiple identities." The player, completely unaware of the impending danger, continued chattering, "Just insert the clothing blueprint and tap it, and you can change your outfit instantly."
"Really?" Reborn whispered softly, "So, this wildling suit I'm wearing was specially changed for me by you, right?"
"Hmm... ahem, eh?! That's not right!" The player was shocked after coming to his senses. It seemed like she had just admitted something outrageous!
Before the player could even struggle, the camera in his hand was instantly snatched away by the man, and the player's clothes were changed by Reborn - from a black three-piece suit to a primitive savage suit.
The player holding a few yellow leaves: ...
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the achievement - "You hurt yourself~"]
Player: Damn it, the system bullies people too!
"Not bad indeed." After seeing the other person transformed into a primitive man, Reborn was satisfied and transformed himself back to his original form. He asked the girl who was still a little stunned, "Is there anything else you haven't said?"
"...If you don't put the blueprint down and shoot someone, that person will become naked." Facing the black-haired killer's unfriendly gaze, the player smiled timidly, "Haha, it's an accident, it's an accident."
"Oh, it was an accident." The black-haired killer's voice became dangerous, and the pistol he was holding tightly moved unconsciously.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Reborn!" Seeing that the yellow dot symbolizing peaceful coexistence was about to turn red, the player decisively slid to his knees.
"...Never mind, I'll let you off this time." Reborn, who wasn't as angry as the players imagined, remembered what his friend the Ninth Hokage had said to him before he left, and ultimately decided to put the matter behind him. "Next time it won't be so easy."
The foreshadowing brought by super intuition...
Timoteo, I want to see what the super intuition foreshadows...
"Let's go, Aurora. We still have some information to collect." Reborn grabbed the player's collar and looked at the girl, whose temperament had become like a wild man, with some difficulty. "As for this dress, I'll give it back to you."
[Congratulations to the player for winning the title - "The Daring One"]

Player:! It’s not a bad thing to become a savage this time!
The two people who didn't look like they were stealing left the archive room openly and walked towards the center of the underground weapons factory.
Along the way, the two could only see various weapon accessories and unknown production chains, nothing else.
"It's like a completely empty shell. How could they have evacuated so quickly?" The player reached out to touch the nearest workbench and, as expected, felt a dusty hand. "It's already so thick with dust! By the way, when did that information leak?"
"Before the lurking began, I didn't notice anything amiss. But even if they had evacuated from that moment, there shouldn't have been a situation like this with no signs of life..." Reborn stopped in front of a code door, looking thoughtful. "It seems there are even more hidden things down there."
The player looked closer and saw it was an elevator, "Are we supposed to take an elevator?"
"I said you were an idiot, but you really don't have any brains?" Reborn walked to a place not far from the password door, and with a cross in his hand, he clicked on the snow-white wall a few times seemingly casually. Suddenly, there was a vibration, and a crack appeared in the original password door, which was just enough for one person to enter.
"This is a large-scale mechanical device created by Xie Shimudo's scientists. Because of its low cost and excellent effectiveness, it has been adopted by many mafia families." As if he knew what the player was asking, Reborn said casually, "Coincidentally, I have a good relationship with Xie Shimudo."
"Wow..." The player hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say, and had to go into the darkness first.
In a dangerous underground factory, I happened to encounter a large mechanism made by my friend, and he knew how to open it. How come this guy looks more like a cheat than a player?
Reborn, who had the intelligence he had investigated in advance, saw that Aurora believed what he said. He didn't show it on his face, but he felt a little subtle in his heart.
[Isn’t it a bit too easy to deceive...]
**
As the two of them went deeper, the originally narrow passage gradually became wider. It had grown from a passage large enough for one person to accommodate two people without any physical restrictions.
However, as they walked, the player's expression became more and more strange, and finally...
"Wait a minute, Mr. Reborn, something's wrong," the player said. "It feels like a large-scale illusion."
"All I saw were bright lights and a variety of pharmaceutical products. Nothing else." Reborn, who had also sensed something was wrong, stopped moving forward and calmly recounted what he had seen. He asked, "Aurora, what did you see?"
…
…
"What's wrong, Aurora?" Seeing that Aurora didn't reply for a long time, Reborn realized something was wrong and turned his head quickly, but he could only see a dark head.
"...I saw a patch of red." The Transparent Eye, which had been upgraded to the intermediate level, was operating regularly, helping players break through illusions and embrace reality.
The player's face turned pale. The reality she saw was a little too advanced for her. She was a player who never played horror games!
"The ground was covered in red blood, and severed limbs and hands randomly spawned everywhere, showing signs of burns," the player said. "The researchers all looked pale and grim, grimacing in pain, as if they'd been poisoned. They were all dead."
Player: "The blood is pretty fresh though."
"Can you see this?"
"Nonsense!" The player pointed over there, "The blood is still flowing, who can't see that?"
"Ahhh, so disgusting, help!" The player looked in pain and wanted to vomit but couldn't.
"This scene is indeed a bit too much for you." Finally breaking through the powerful illusion that enveloped the room, Reborn looked at the tragic scene in the room, carefully handed over a handkerchief, and then began to examine the surroundings without stopping. "The blood is still warm. It seems that the murderer who killed them left not long ago."
"Let's go take a look ahead." Reborn said, picking up the player who was still in shock and walking towards the deepest part, but the situation inside was obviously not much better, in fact, it was even worse.
"All of these are experimental subjects who died due to failed experiments, and they are all underage children..."
The players looked at the corpses that had been tortured beyond recognition, their faces dazed - everyone here died in such pain, with twisted limbs and rotting skin, which was obviously more horrible than the deaths of those people in white coats outside, but it did not make people feel nauseous or vomit, only heartache.
The player clenched his chest, feeling a little suffocated.
So real, so real that it doesn’t seem like a game.
"There are no living people here anymore." The experienced killer also looked gloomy at this moment.
"No... No, that's not right. There should be another one!"
"That's not what I feel." The player suddenly raised his head and looked towards the end. "That laboratory at the end! It feels like an illusion there. There must be someone there!"
Yes, there are definitely people!
Ignoring the NPC's calls, the player headed straight for the laboratory at the end.
There must be someone who managed to survive there!
