My avatar is the heroine

The streets were very empty.

In fact, apart from a few densely populated areas, it's rare to see passersby anymore.

"Hmm, I have a bad feeling."

Black Eyes summoned her weapon.

With a gentle push of his thumb, the black scabbard cut a few centimeters, revealing a gleaming silver-white blade.

The two clones looked in different directions, trying to find any possible threats.

Then soon, he saw a man covered in blood. The man was clutching his abdomen and staggering along the road.

"Uncle!" Upon seeing this, Yukino's expression changed, and she immediately rushed over to support him. "What happened? Why are you like this?"

Looking at her battered and bruised appearance, and the long trail of blood that had been left behind, Yukino was incredulous.

"It's you." The middle-aged man's expression was blank, as if he had lost his soul. However, when he recognized the two girls who had stayed at his house overnight, a smile appeared on his face. "I want to go home now, but I can't find my way. Can you tell me?"

"Uncle, don't you remember who hurt you?"

"Who?"

He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly remembered something, slowly raised his arm, and saw an almost exaggerated amount of blood.

"Ah... I, how did I become like this? Oh right, I was attacked by Gastrea, and then I ran and ran until I got here."

Yukino's terrified expression made her instinctively take a half step back. With nothing to lose, she summoned Rikka and used a healing jutsu on the old man.

However, it's of no use... This is a combat-type clone, and it doesn't seem to offer any help in terms of repair.

In other words, Rikka can induce hypnosis but cannot break the hypnosis; she can cause harm but cannot cure it. Although she is a jack-of-all-trades with various functions, she has no effect on eliminating Gastrea.

"I'm sorry, sir, I probably can't help you."

Perhaps the system will find a solution soon, but the people in front of us obviously won't live to see that day.

"Waaah, I don't want to die." The old man grabbed Yukino's shoulders. "I don't want to become a Gastrea."

"I'm sorry." Yukino bit her lip and took a few steps back.

Because she'd heard that people bitten by Gastrea would turn into Gastrea themselves, she suspected the man in front of her would too...

Sure enough, at that moment, the seemingly normal-looking middle-aged man suddenly knelt on the ground in pain.

Something seemed to be gushing out of his body, and numerous blue veins popped out on his face and body.

With a sticky, nauseating sound, several huge yellow spider legs suddenly extended from his back.

Yukino and Kurohime quickly retreated.

The man's form began to change drastically, with countless organs bursting through his skin, transforming him into a gigantic spider monster in just a few seconds.

The moment it regained its footing, the spider suddenly opened its large mouth and spat out a mouthful of water at Yukino and Kurohime.

Puff~~

A large amount of white, viscous liquid flew out and hit Yukino accurately.

"Huh? What the heck?"

Although Kurohime reacted quickly and dodged, Yukino's body had become sticky, and even her feet were stuck to the ground.

"Ugh, how disgusting." She was completely devastated.

Before Yukino could break free, the spider in front of her swung its front legs and attacked her fiercely.

"get out."

Enraged, Yukino threw a punch back, only to be thrown back several steps by the recoil.

The Gastrea spider, which was also injured, recovered in just a few seconds, as if the previous injury had never occurred.

"His recovery ability is even stronger than mine?"

With such a high reproductive capacity, coupled with its super-strong recovery ability, this biological virus poses a threat beyond imagination.

Just as they were about to have Kuroko make a move, a man's voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the street.

"Danger. Bullets that are not made of chromium cannot harm the enemy."

Snapped!

The bullet sliced ​​through the air and instantly entered the spider's body, causing it to let out a shrill scream.

The blue-haired youth rushed forward and launched a series of attacks on the monster.

Snapped!Snapped!

Although the gun was very powerful and effective against the monster, its killing effect was still unsatisfactory, as the monster was simply too large.

"Let me do it."

Black Eyes' thumb gently pushed off the hilt of the sword, and in the next instant, his right arm lashed out with a flash of light. His agile figure vanished from the spot at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, instantly passing by the monster's side. In a flash of cold light, purple blood gushed from the spider's waist, and its massive body was sliced ​​in two with a smooth cut.

Puff~~~

Amidst horrifying screams, the target collapsed to the ground in agony, struggling for a few moments before losing its life.

"what?"

The blue-haired youth paused for a moment.

Looking at the girl with red eyes who gently sheathed her blade, he even thought he was hallucinating.

That was too fast; the speed of that slash was so fast that even the naked eye couldn't catch it.

"Rentaro." Just as he was in disbelief, a girl with orange-red hair ran over from a distance and hugged the young man tightly. "Really, really, you actually threw me, your fiancée, off the bicycle, you heartless guy."

After speaking, her gaze shifted and she suddenly noticed the huge corpse on the ground. She immediately exclaimed in surprise, "What is that? Are you in danger?"

When questioned, Kurohime gripped the dripping blood from Yatsufusa, her petite figure returning to Yukino's side. She took out a cloth from her person and wiped away the suggestive white liquid from Yukino's face.

Are you police officers too?

Rentaro quickly recovered from his shock and asked the two of them.

Yukino paused for a moment, not replying immediately, but silently asking the system in her mind.

Then a brief explanation appeared before us:

[Police Officer: Short for Civilian Security Company, composed of the Cursed Children who act as "Initiators" and the "Facilitators" who manage the "Initiators." It's a civilian militarized company primarily responsible for dealing with Gastrea. Becoming a Police Officer requires certain qualifications, and there's a dedicated IP ranking system based on ability.]

"Is this what a police officer is like?"

After Yukino understood, she was about to answer Rentaro when another voice interrupted her.

"Hey, you clingy flat-chested woman, don't even think about seducing Rentaro. He'll never be interested in you." A little girl with orange-red hair and pigtails suddenly rushed up from a distance, looking at Yukino with a wary gaze, while hugging Rentaro tightly.

There's no way around it, Yukino's aura is just too good, especially in this state of white slime, she's both innocent and lewd, she's absolutely irresistible to boys.

"Enough, Enju, what are you talking about? You have a flat chest, yet you dare to criticize others?" Rentaro was speechless.

"Ah!" Yeonjoo quickly covered her chest and said angrily, "I'm still small, I'll grow bigger."

"You have to learn to face reality," Rentaro said sarcastically.

But the next moment, he suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead, and shouted, "Oh no, today is a limited-time special offer, I have to hurry up and go."

Before Yukino could even speak, she vanished in a gust of wind.

"Hey, Rentaro, don't leave me behind!"

Enju hurriedly followed, leaving Yukino and Kurohime standing there, completely bewildered.

Chapter 113 Some Truths

"Ugh, I need to find a place to wash up. I look too suggestive right now."

Fortunately, there were few people on the street. She quickly took Kuro's hand and left.

More than ten minutes later, at the uncle's house.

"What? Chunming...something happened to him?"

Upon hearing the news, the woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears, completely disregarding her image. After crying for a long time, she calmed down a bit, then stood up and let Yukino and Kurohime into the house.

"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing. Normally, I shouldn't believe your one-sided story. But considering that Chunming himself has done many wrong things, I think perhaps this is the fate he deserves." The hostess's smile was tinged with sadness; she seemed to have accepted this reality, even without witnessing it firsthand.

"He's your husband, isn't he?" Yukino murmured, recalling everything she knew.

"Yes... he was really suffering inside. Maybe this ending is a relief for him." The woman wiped away her tears and turned to look out the window.

……

Auntie was in a bad mood, but she did not refuse Yukino's idea of ​​continuing to stay.

"You can have this room. Feel free to ask for anything. Chunming likes you a lot too, so I won't refuse any of your requests."

"Thank you, Auntie. I just need a place to stay," Yukino said, bowing in gratitude.

"Hmm, but the way you look right now..."

Yukino's face instantly turned red: "Don't get the wrong idea."

"Sorry sorry."

I don't know if the other person was thinking about those things, but anyway, she looks pretty much like the heroine in the doujinshi after she's finished.

After taking a shower in the bathroom and changing into a new dress, Yukino finally felt refreshed and lay down on the bed in her room.

At that moment, the long-awaited system notification finally rang out.

[Current global information integration is complete.]

[Known information is as follows: A team of reincarnators under the command of the Supreme God failed in an experimental mission, resulting in the creation of Gastrea. To escape the Supreme God's annihilation, the team successfully broke free from the control of the reincarnation space with the help of external forces and established an invading force to oppose it.]

[After the invaders left, in 2021 AD, humanity was defeated in its war against the Gastrea and driven to a narrow territory, barely surviving under the protection of a giant, ornate monolith. During this time, girls with viral resistance were born from pregnant women infected with the virus; they were known as the Cursed Children, possessing the power to defeat the Gastrea.]

However, due to past traumas, the generation gap between ordinary people and the cursed children is difficult to bridge. The cursed children suffer from severe social discrimination, and a significant number of them are driven to the outskirts, struggling to survive in dire living conditions every day.

……

Main Quest: Build a teleportation marker.

[Mission Reward: New clone unlock permissions.]

……

After the system's subtitles finished, a memory about the background of this world was implanted into Yukino's brain.

"This is really... utterly terrible."

Because of war, humanity's technological level has regressed to the level of the 2020s. Even so, this world still has groundbreaking weapons like the sub-light-speed electromagnetic railgun.

However, it's clear that this weapon wasn't built by native creatures, but rather a remnant of the original reincarnation team. Excluding technologies of unknown origin, essentially... the technological level of this world isn't much different from Su Lin's previous life.

Confined to a small area and having lost a large number of talented individuals, the world's industrial capacity was severely damaged. If it weren't for the restraining effect of the metal on Gastrea and the protection of the Cursed Children, humanity would probably have been wiped out.

"So, those who risk their lives to protect this world are actually a group of little girls under the age of 10. And the people being protected not only show no gratitude, but also discriminate against and persecute these poor children?"

Yes, according to data analysis, the Cursed Children also vary in strength. The vast majority of those driven to the outer areas or abandoned are relatively weak girls. The stronger ones are generally taken in by the police or other government agencies, becoming part of the accepted population. This analysis suggests that those in power still intend to exploit the Cursed Children.

"..." Yukino was glad that a hero like All Might wasn't born into this world, otherwise she would have been absolutely furious.

After a moment of silence, she finally turned her attention to the task.

"Construct a teleportation array marker?"

The objective of this mission is to mark the Cursed Children collectively and open a portal to other worlds. Once the mission is completed, the Cursed Children can be teleported together.

"..."

Send the cursed child away?

After thinking it over carefully, Yukino immediately understood the murderous intent behind it.

This world is essentially protected by the Cursed Children, and even if the metal biranium can harm Gastrea, it can only be described as a negligible suppression.

Therefore, once the Cursed Children disappear, even just one or two Gastrea could easily infiltrate human settlements and multiply, enough to cause the extinction of the entire human civilization.

Therefore, it can be argued that if Su Lin did that and destroyed a few more of the protected stone tablets, it would be tantamount to sentencing this world to death.

"So, System, the data you gave me shows that Gastrea has five stages, with Stage V being the exceptional level, totaling 11, possessing the power to destroy the world. And these Gastrea were taken down by the world's two most powerful police officers single-handedly?"

The solo player can be almost certainly identified as an intruder or a reincarnated player, and is unrelated to any inhabitants of this world.

"Ok."
