[Asakawa Yu] is bombarding him with all kinds of weird little cakes - he can't find any other way to describe them - mutant monsters from other "fingers" of the Hand.
By operating the "conveyor belt sushi" in front of him, he "drags" small cakes with different functions onto the grid deck, and the corresponding but much larger objects will appear out of thin air, exerting their labeled functions.
The function is to smash the attacking monsters into pieces and finally disappear.
This kind of situation where monsters keep popping up on one side and counterattack by various means is very similar to the game mode called "Tower Defense", but the problem is that it is the "tower" itself, or the kind that disappears when touched.
In the absence of a clear reminder of how many attack waves are left like in the game, [Asakawa Rain] did not dare to relax at all. Monsters that can be defeated with the most ordinary cakes do not need more advanced ones, and always keep a "destroy"
"Heaven-Destroying-Earth Little Cake" is used to save lives.
Occasionally, when he was free, he would also think about how he would have dealt with such an offensive if he had not had the little cake that Mr. "Bullseye" had secretly slipped in.
Judging from what happened to the "traitor" before, it seems that each person uses his or her own "substitute" to fight against him. This may be the so-called principle of "depriving the substitute" and "making sugar cubes".
However, even if he is out now, the substitute is at least capable of attacking and has resisted to the end. But will his "transparent" substitute make those monsters think they have gone the wrong way and retreat? Impossible...
Therefore, in the "Tower Defense" with no end in sight, this strange green sentence that suddenly appeared in front of him may be the key to breaking the situation.
"[Do you desire power?]"
"So, what's the price?" he asked cautiously.
Following his words, a line of words with the exact same color and font as the sentence that said "Don't waste food" appeared below "Do you desire power?"
What kind of weird social software is this?
"[Cost? It's nothing, no more than a tip.]"
You can really talk...[Asakawa Rain] continued to hit monsters with various cakes while watching the line of text continue to expand.
"[I just want to know what is best for you, and I will help you, guide you, and guide you to realize your ambitions and dreams.]"
"[As long as you promise to let me enter your heart.]"
Uh-huh?
The last sentence made [Asakawa Yu] suddenly alert.
If he remembered correctly, Botu's "arrows" and, from what he heard from the three "Hydra seniors", the power of the other "fingers" were all obtained through "deals" with the devil, that is,
Say, you are talking to a devil?
"No." He recalled the miserable situation of those "fingers" and shook his head decisively.
"[I am very sure that you will agree, how could you not agree?]"
Phew…
The next moment, [Asakawa Rain] has an additional obstruction on the "higher layer" on the "small cake panel" that is being controlled:
【Sign a contract with the ‘thirsty ■■’. 】
"I——!" [Asakawa Yu], who was busy throwing the cake, almost slipped his hand and poked it. After hastily retracting his hand, he almost cursed out loud - but almost, he didn't have the strength to directly yell at a suspected demonic existence.
I really don’t dare to do it.
However, not "clicking" that "icon" does not solve the current problem, because it also blocks [Asakawa Rain] from operating the "rotating cake", and all kinds of monsters on the opposite side of the deck are still pouring out.
For a moment, it seemed that I could only choose between "signing an inexplicable contract with an unknown existence" and "being hacked to death by a monster".
"I refuse!" He finished what he just said anxiously and angrily.
call……
Following the words, a line of "options" that was incompatible with this obstruction, with a dark blue color and a more beautiful font, appeared under "Sign a Contract":
【Exit virtual realm】
Since the monsters on the deck were already close at hand, [Asakawa Rain] didn't have time to think about what the "virtual realm" was and pressed it with his finger.
——Marvel, 2015——
Tokyo Tower Aquarium.
"...You two, do you think I don't know you are eavesdropping?"
[Asakawa Rain] When he regained consciousness, he found himself sitting in a corner of the conference hall.
The originally bright lights had been completely extinguished, leaving only the dim emergency lights and emergency exit signs. The originally colorful fish schools under the lights looked blurry, like strange shadows that were changing their postures.
The giant aquarium beside him was broken, and the pouring water accumulated a thin layer on the floor of the exhibition hall. There were many attendees and security guards who had seen it staggering around. For the moment, he couldn't find the one who was sucked dry by the elephant first.
The unlucky traitor who was hacked by the Black Mist Warrior again.
As for [Asakawa Rain] himself, the small platform he was on was not submerged in water, and the clothes on his body that were wet due to being submerged were almost completely dry. However, he may still be unable to control his limbs temporarily due to hypothermia or excessive mental exhaustion.
, I can only turn my eyes to look around.
The Bodhisattva who had just spoken was still standing in front of his Pachinko machine, speaking to the air at the main entrance of the hall, but the Hydra agent who called himself "Wolverine" was standing close enough to him, but he didn't.
After taking action against him, he looked like he was going to follow the command of his disciple.
What happened after he was thrown into the aquarium? What was the original plan?
"Unfortunately, the plan has changed." Wolverine sharpened the magical claws on his hands and retracted them, then turned to the main entrance: "Due to the 'contract', I'm afraid I have to ask you two to leave Tokyo."
What contract? Have you also encountered the black frame of the black frame?
glance.
The moment Wolverine turned around, he glanced at [Asakawa Rain].
It was a kind of... a high-altitude god looking down at the ants running around in the soil, but it magically had the meaning of "looking down".
——Although our strength and status are very different, I still respect you and everything about you.
This is definitely not the look that "Wolverine" should have.
The disciple over there seems to be feeling very proud that he thinks he has captured Wolverine by some means... If he saw this look, he would probably be scared to death on the spot.
Based on his own experience in the so-called "virtual realm", everyone present - including "Bullseye" and "Widowmaker" who should be outside the door, may have the least understanding of the entire incident. It may be this person who thinks he has control of everything.
Guy.
What a [pleasant] thing it would be if he was assassinated in this illusory sense of accomplishment, and found out at the moment before his death that he was actually a clown.
[Asakawa Yu] lowered his head, looking at the exquisite gem dagger that appeared in his hand at some point, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
