This explains why, after killing two, they were unable to deal with the remaining Stage V. It's likely the solo player has left this world and gone elsewhere.

As for the advanced technology in this world, most of it comes from outside; they probably haven't developed it themselves. Even nuclear weapons require sufficient industrial support, and given the current situation—almost completely destroyed, with only a few cities remaining—developing one would be extremely difficult.

"In that case, I feel much more at ease. But how should we proceed with this task?"

The next moment, a small bottle appeared in front of Yukino, filled with blue liquid.

[Gastrulvirus Marker Material: This material is actually a virus itself, characterized by its ability to spread rapidly along water sources and through the air. It only infects gastrulvirus parasites (excluding gastrulators). Infected individuals will be marked by systemic forces and can teleport to nearby coordinates at any time.]

"I see. I was having a headache about how to save the little girl in this world. You actually have this method."

The biggest problem now is that there is no way to eliminate the gastritis virus yet. Even if the cursed children are sent to other dimensions, it will not solve the problem at its root.

"Hopefully the system will have a new solution."

With these thoughts in mind, Yukino also felt a little sleepy, so she simply hugged the little black-eyed girl and drifted off to sleep with her.

Chapter 114 The Beginning of an Assassination Squad

That night, Kurohime woke up in pain.

Next to her was a bag of snacks labeled "Black Eyes," filled with cookies. She quickly reached out, grabbed a cookie, and popped it into her mouth.

"Ugh, this tastes awful."

In the anime, isn't Kurome fiercely protective of her food? Logically, it should taste delicious, right?

But upon closer reflection, it's clear that something used to alleviate drug side effects can't be very good. Kurohime probably just doesn't want her teammates to know that she's eating something disgusting and bad for her health.

After taking a few bites, she felt much better and then she weakly got up.

Turning my head, I found Ayako sleeping next to me, biting her fingers.

Looking down from her collar, Black Eyes noticed several scarlet scars.

"Hmm...why are your breasts bigger than mine when they're so small?" Yukino glanced down at her flat chest.

"They are really pitiful. I've made up my mind, I must save them."

This is no joke. It's heartless for such a young child to have to endure this kind of pain.

Ultimately, there are reasons why people discriminate against children of the curse.

For example, the genes of the cursed children are actually different from those of humans, and they must be injected with a potion every day to suppress the erosion, or they will turn into Gastrea.

Furthermore, under the influence of public opinion, even those who do not abhor the cursed children will be affected by various ideologies and, under pressure, embark on the same path of persecuting them.

For example, that uncle didn't actually dislike the cursed child; he just took to the streets and held a so-called protest march in this environment.

On one hand, she protects Ayako in her home, and on the other hand, she holds up a sign and drives away the cursed child in the street.

In such a society, an individual's power is reduced to mere conformity. Excluding the truly bad elements, the remaining members are also led astray by the "political correctness" of this flawed society.

"But how should I put it, since I've already done something wrong, it's impossible to be forgiven."

Murderers cannot escape punishment just because they know they are wrong... This is something that Kuroko understands very well.

That man ultimately took his own life.

"By the way, system, will the modified Gastrea virus that I was injected with turn me into a Gastrea?"

【Won't. 】

"Then I'm relieved."

Just then, Ayako, who had slowly woken up, suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Want some candy?"

"Uh……"

Kuroko froze for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Ayako, "I'll teach you swordsmanship tomorrow."

"Swordsmanship?"

"Yes, and while we're at it, let's head to the outer area and teach the kids there some combat skills."

We must improve our combat effectiveness.

Without combat ability, one cannot protect oneself. Although many of the Cursed Children are incredibly strong, this does not mean that most children in the outer areas possess such power. It is far too difficult for flesh and blood to defeat adults wielding various weapons.

However, Kuroko is different. Her assassination skills come from the Imperial Agency, which trains only top-notch experts.

If these abilities were passed on to little girls with excellent physical abilities, they would surely become exceptionally powerful.

"System, is my idea feasible?"

[This is feasible, but due to the limitations of global rules, these children cannot achieve the expected training results. It is recommended to activate the individual rule mimicry system.]

"What is this?" Black eyes flickered.

[Individual Rule Mimicry: Define a 100-square-meter area and make its rules approximate a hypothetical state. After every hour of mimicry, the system will be forced to hibernate for one hour.]

"You have this function?"

[This feature was already implemented on you; otherwise, your combat power would have been reduced by at least 50% after entering different worlds.]

"Okay." Kuroko understood.

Before midnight that night, Su Lin dispelled the clones of Kurohime and Yukino, and then had Mashiro sit to the side, watching over the sleeping Ayako.

Around 7 a.m., when Ayako was about to wake up, he immediately canceled Mashiro, summoned Kurome, and transformed himself into Yukino.

"Yayako, wake up, I'm going to take you somewhere."

After patting the other's head, Yukino put on her shoes and left the room.

After washing up, she took Ayako's hand and came to the hostess.

"What? You're going to take Ayako to the outer district to teach her swordsmanship?" The hostess looked somewhat shocked.

"Yes, I think it would be difficult for you to protect her indefinitely, given your abilities."

The woman looked at her hopeful daughter with a complicated expression, and seeing this, she could only sigh: "Well, the medicine that her husband used to get is almost used up. I can't get any more with my abilities. She'll have to rely on herself from now on."

After saying that, the hostess bowed deeply to Yukino: "I'm counting on you."

"I'll take good care of her."

……

After leaving home, Yukino rode on the lady of the house's bicycle with the two little girls.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the dilapidated outer area.

"This is it."

On the distant riverbank, a group of unfamiliar children sat.

"Wow!" Ayako excitedly rushed forward. "So many friends! Does everyone want some candy?"

The red-haired little girl closest to the shore turned her head in confusion. When she saw Ayako running towards her, she immediately asked warily, "Who are you?"

"Just like you," Kurohime deliberately revealed her red eyes, "I'm here to help everyone."

"Have some candy, have some candy!" Ayako happily rushed over, took a piece of candy from her bag, and handed it to the girl. "It's super delicious."

"This is……"

Despite her doubts, the little girl in front of her couldn't resist the temptation and put the candy in her mouth.

"Don't eat it!" The little black-haired girl rushed up from behind.

But it was too late. After taking a few bites, the red-haired little girl's eyes lit up: "Delicious!"

"Huh?" The black-haired girl, who had been looking tense, paused for a moment. "No poison?"

“No,” she said definitively.

Black Eyes frowned: "Has anyone poisoned you before?"

"Hmm." The black-haired loli nodded aggrievedly, "Because everyone was very hungry, when someone gave us delicious candy, we couldn't resist eating it, and then everyone got poisoned."

His dark eyes turned cold.

"It's alright now. From now on, you'll be able to get candy on your own because... I'll train you to become true masters."

As the scattered hundred or so little girls gathered together, Ayako distributed the candy.

Every little girl who got to eat the candy was overjoyed; many of them had never tasted anything so delicious in their lives.

After finishing the candy, Kurohime raised her knife and asked everyone, "You all want to eat delicious food in the future, right?"

"Mmm-hmm." The little girls nodded in unison.

"Then train with me, and I will make you into real... assassins who can protect themselves in a very short time."

Chapter 115 I'm really angry!

"The first thing I will teach you is how to draw your sword."

On the open ground, Black Eyes gripped the scabbard with his left hand and the hilt with his right. Almost without thinking, he instantly cleaved a tree more than ten meters away in two.

The thin blade was so thin that even its afterimage couldn't be caught. To everyone's astonishment, the massive tree trunk slowly fell to the ground.

"Do you see clearly?"

The little girls all shook their heads.

"But... that's amazing, it felled the big tree in one go."

"As expected of Black Eyes."

A genuine exclamation of admiration rang out from among the girls.

They're all little girls under ten years old, so why is this girl so cool?

The original body, who had already become familiar with everyone, smiled and activated [Individual Rule Mimicry], transforming the 100-square-meter area in front of him into a training ground suitable for assassination in another world.

"Well, it's okay if you can't see clearly. Who wants to try first?"

"Me! Me!" The little red-haired girl who had been eating candy earlier was eager to try.

"That's up to you."

Kurome would never hand over Yabu to her; such Imperial Arms only recognize their master, and giving them to someone else would be life-threatening.

The other person took a wooden sword made by Rikka and gripped the handle.

hum-

Whether it was due to the enhancement or not, the speed at which it was pulled out was much faster, even stunning the red-haired little girl herself. However, compared to Black Eyes' casual strike, it was still far inferior.

"Wow, Misa is amazing."

Everyone applauded excitedly.

The red-haired little girl was stunned. Was the momentum of that slash really something she had created?

"Alright, everyone, let's begin training."

The creation of weapons relies entirely on Rikka. Although she can create sharp steel blades, their existence is too short-lived. Once her clones disappear, the weapons gradually lose their effectiveness.

Therefore, in order to make everyone combat-ready, it is necessary to acquire useful equipment.

"We also need guns and such."

Yukino couldn't help but start thinking about many things.

There are 70 police units in the world, and in addition, there is an astonishing number of cursed children. Conservative estimates suggest that there are several thousand poor children who have been abandoned by their parents or driven to outlying areas.

Throughout the day, besides teaching basic movements such as drawing a sword, slashing, and striking, Kuroko let the little girls practice on their own.

These cursed children have generally reached the physical level of adults, and some of them are particularly outstanding with great potential, making them excellent seedlings.

Kasugano Sora is in charge of taking care of everyone and helping to look after these adorable children.

Considering that many of the cursed children sleep outdoors, Rikka Takanashi used magic to dig sturdy tunnels, preparing to create an underground fortress on the other side of the river where they could hide.

It must be constructed with at least half a meter thick rock, and numerous traps must be set up to prepare for defense against poisonous gases and other disasters.

Many children's lives are already too painful, and they harbor a certain amount of hatred towards ordinary people. If the best among them were to form a specialized assassination squad to systematically and efficiently eliminate those who harm the cursed children and rescue more of their comrades, they could rapidly expand their power.

"Hmm, it's about time to release the gastrovirus marker."

After finishing the instruction and pointing out many of everyone's mistakes, Hei Tong took the bottle of potion given to him by the system, opened the cap, and poured it into the water source in front of him.

"Many branches of this river will flow into the city downstream, and then we just have to wait."

While Su Lin and the others were training in combat skills, Yukino took Kurohime back to the city.
