Chapter 4: Lawful Ordinary Players

In Gin's words, everything in here is garbage.

Traitors with serious crimes had already been killed by him. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would not be able to leave the interrogation room after being brought back to the organization.

To date, the only ones who have escaped are Ray, no, FBI agent Akai Shuichi.

As for those who seemed to be true or were implicated by traitors, they could not extract any information from them and there was no need to kill them all at once, so they were thrown here.

Those other wanted criminals who seem to be extremely vicious and think they can thrive in the organization are not all high-IQ criminals. Most of them are ordinary people who kill impulsively or thugs who think they are powerful and brave.

Even though they are much more bloody and brutal than the average person, what role can they play? They are even worse than the lower-level members of society who have a decent job and can sometimes be of some use in intelligence.

But if I throw it to the police, they're bound to say things they shouldn't, so I might as well just dump it here.

Some other people of mixed backgrounds basically had the same experience, like useless debris gathering dust in the corner of the warehouse.

It is much more terrifying here than being in prison. The members of the organization will not stop them from fighting or give them the opportunity to go out and exercise. They can only shrink hopelessly in the narrow and dark compartment, gradually becoming corrupt and numb.

They even fight each other for a bite of food, and only the winner can fill his stomach when the members watching the performance are satisfied.

And now, they finally have a chance to get out.

If eyes could glow red from greed, those colors would probably be much brighter than the blood bars that stand out in the dark.

It was obvious at first glance that the young man with black hair and golden eyes was living a good life outside, and the pitch-black gun in his hand, were both prey that were about to be plundered.

The moment the iron gate closed and darkness returned, there was a noisy sound of running and shouting, and the nearest person had already rushed over to grab the gun.

"Bang--"

The sound of gunfire penetrated all other sounds, so sharp that the hairs on the backs of those who had been unfamiliar with such weapons for a long time stood up. They even heard the sound of sticky liquid dripping to the ground.

No.

It's not an illusion.

The man in the front had a bullet piercing his heart, and his body fell heavily to the ground as he inertia threw himself forward. The young man who dodged it easily played with the gun in his hand and quickly became familiar with this retro Blue Star weapon.

"Normal attacks will automatically track the enemy, but the accuracy doesn't seem very high, so I'd better use automatic aiming."

The clear voice unique to young people commented lightly.

Not everyone could hear the low voice, but these desperadoes with blood on their hands felt an instinctive fear at this moment.

But no one stopped.

That was Gin's promise. If you can get out, you might even be appreciated by Gin!

In the blink of an eye, a low-level humanoid monster was killed. The player felt that the damage value was much better after the upgrade and the bonus of the weapon's entry. He flashed and disappeared into the group of monsters.

The view was pitch black, and the blood bars floating up and down were more conspicuous than the brightest stars in the night sky.

After the organization members sent Gin away, they immediately ran to the monitoring room.

Sure enough, a bunch of colleagues had already gathered there. Almost everyone in the entire base was here, holding bottles of wine and watching a show as they gathered around the unclear image on the screen.

In the prison, blurry human figures were surging like a tide, all trying to grab the gun first, but unable to find the target to drown.

He didn't see the bloody scene of the massacre, and asked curiously, "Where are the people? Could they be dead?"

"How could the newcomer brought by Gin be so bad?"

The man sitting on the throne of the office chair tapped the corner of the screen that was hidden by the railing.

In the corner between the ceiling and the railing, there was a human figure miraculously suspended, with the body almost parallel to the ground.

The members of the organization who first discovered it were all shocked even through the screen. The feeling of the spider waiting for the opportunity to hunt in the blind spot of their vision was really too terrifying.

"…Is this still a human?" He made a sound as if he was questioning his life.

They didn't have to wait long before gunshots and cries of pain were heard.

Like the carefully shot gun battle scenes in the movies, every bullet hits the target, and no matter what attack is launched, the protagonist cannot be touched. He controls the entire situation.

The crowd fell to the ground like harvested wheat, and amid the precise and methodical sound of gunfire, all human sounds disappeared.

All that was left was the sudden tense breathing of everyone in the monitoring room.

They watched helplessly as the chaos was gradually resolved. After making sure that no one could resist anymore, the young man fell to the ground and ended everyone's lives.

Some of them were particularly tenacious and were even shot more than once.

The sound of the beer can falling to the ground almost frightened everyone to death. When they came to their senses, they all looked pale.

They were bored enough to play tricks on those people, so they were naturally not good people, but such a scene...

Someone glanced at the time on the lower right corner of the computer screen and said in a hoarse voice, "Only eight minutes have passed."

"As I recall, there were thirty-four people in there, right?" the person who asked the question asked in a dry voice, triggering a new silence.

Invisible fear spread, and they looked at the young man on the screen as if they were seeing a natural enemy that was beyond human common sense.

Looking into the young man's golden eyes through the surveillance camera made them feel genuine fear and trembling.

"...He has completed his mission. Should we open the door for him?"

As expected by players, with so many monsters in battle guidance missions, they naturally cannot be that strong.

Some are even so fragile that a single normal attack can take away one-tenth of the enemy's health bar. Combined with the attack damage bonus from skills and ultimate moves, as well as the wonderful five-second invisibility, players who don't have blood recovery and don't want to lose blood can perfectly achieve the effect without taking any damage.

As for the teleportation that replaced the flying function, judging from the height here, even if I jumped from the ceiling, it wouldn't be high enough, so I haven't completed it yet.

The experience points dropped from killing monsters are very small, less than an intermediate experience book when added together. However, there are some drops of different materials and a little yen.

Mechanical parts, low-quality liquor, and so on.

...It's somewhat reasonable for a monster to drop mechanical parts. Although this isn't a game set in the interstellar era, it's a bit strange for a humanoid monster to drop alcohol, right?

However, there is a country where people are particularly fond of drinking. This has a lot to do with the country's geographical location. In the cold climate, they need to drink to warm up.

Until the interstellar age, the descendants of that country even drove a starship drunk to fight with alien creatures. One person surrounded an entire team of the enemy, but the problem was that he won...

The player was distracted for a moment, but was drawn back to the game by the rewards that popped up.

【Mission Completed】

[Obtained mission rewards: 50 grains of sand, 3 advanced experience books, 30 refined ore, 50,000 yen]

The player fed all the experience books and refined ore.

The character level increased from 9 to 16.

It only took thirteen pieces of refined ore to upgrade the weapon to level twenty. To break through, you don't need the weapon breakthrough materials in the dungeon. It is enough to use the materials dropped by monsters in the big world, that is, the low-quality wine and mechanical parts that have just been brushed out.

This is similar to other homemade versions.

The built-in card drawing function of the homemade version is usually free, and there is no such large scale as the game company to use materials to model the plot and fill the original framework.

Therefore, with not many characters, not much plot, and not a large world, and without requiring players to spend a long time online or spend money on drawing cards, the cumbersome training aspects will basically be improved a lot.

The stamina value is still the full value of 160. A full tube of stamina is given directly when entering the game. The player uses all of it to brush the weapon experience copy and upgrades the weapon to level 40.

There is still some refined ore that has not been used up, but the yen has reached its bottom, and the materials dropped by monsters required for weapon breakthroughs are not enough.

Players don't care too much about upgrading characters and weapons.

He played too much and had long been accustomed to quickly raising a character from level zero to the maximum level. The pleasure that a newbie would get from the numerical increase was almost gone for him.

But he was dissatisfied with his empty backpack.

There is still a small change of 500 yen left.

I'm not interested in drawing cards, so I plan to collect 10 consecutive Grains of Time*80.

A card with an unknown amount of money on it but at least 20 million yen - you need to go to a bank to withdraw it to find out if it is a prop.

There are also some minerals and monster drops.

That's all he had in his backpack.

After exiting the dungeon, the player standing in a pool of blood didn't care about the humanoid corpses that hadn't refreshed around him. He was thinking about digging up the base map again, and then going to run around to find anchor points.

He ran to the door in a pool of blood, but before he could knock on it, the organizers who had seen the whole process from the surveillance video had already arranged for someone to come and open the door for him out of fear.

This base is not big. Because it houses these useless people, it can only be regarded as a retirement base that the superiors basically forget about. No one knows when it will be abandoned. There are less than ten members of the organization who take turns to guard this place.

It would have been completely forgotten if there hadn't been a small arsenal where members of nearby organizations could come to restock their ammunition.

It was a rare opportunity to be activated this time, and Gin, one of the most important codename members in the organization, came personally with his team. No one dared to show it, but they were actually very curious in their hearts.

And then...there is no then.

They just wanted to get rid of this killer god as soon as possible, and even forgot that Gin said the time was three days - no matter whether Jyouno Hisaji completed the task or not, he would be released after three days when Gin arrived - and they also forgot to tell Gin this news.

Players don't care about the name of this guiding NPC. There is no need to remember a special NPC that cannot provide tasks and whose modeling is not sophisticated enough.

What he cared about was that when he looked at the other person twice more, a health bar appeared on the top of the NPC's head.

Good fellow.

When you are attacked by him, a health bar will appear, and when the opponent wants to attack him, a health bar will also appear.

He didn't do anything, so why did these strange humanoid NPCs with names have such a strong desire to attack?

This homemade version is really simple and honest.

Thinking of this, the player emptied the opponent's health bar.

He is just short of dropped materials.

The player who started searching for treasure chests in the base after defeating the monster did not notice that the NPCs in the control room who were scared by him and huddled together had already evacuated the base in a hurry, wishing they could grow a pair of wings and fly away thousands of miles away.

...How can there be such a guy who would kill his colleagues at will! Even Gin-sama wouldn't kill the lower-level members like this.

Run, run fast!

If you don't run, you'll die!

Fear-filled emails were sent in all directions.

"Jouno Hisaji..."

"Newcomer..."

"Thirty-four, no, thirty-five people were killed..."

"Devil..."

Players who open a so-called supply box that is actually a treasure chest suddenly feel a little uneasy.

It's strange. This is a single-player game with only him as a player. It's not a mecha online game with enemies everywhere.

No one should care about him as an ordinary lawful player, right?
