The Crisis World XX

Chap. 131: Log In to the Radio Station

"Let's go inside now" said Herlin.

"Good!" We all obeyed and entered through the front gate of this radio station.

We managed to get to a radio station that was quite a distance away from the dome. Herlin's crazy plan somehow went pretty well— despite many unexpected events, too.

This radio station fence is made of marble that is used as a pot for fence bushes that are usually used as natural fences in office buildings. Then there is also an open fence and a guard post that is empty.

Look around, this place is not really safe from the invasion of infected people. Moreover, they are already aware of our existence.

"They're heading this way!" my spoken.

Me and the others quickly went inside the main glass door and wanted to immediately remove any traces from being seen by them. But suddenly Caramel stopped before he could get inside the main glass door.

"The caramel?! What are you doing?!"

"They will still be able to enter if it goes on like this" Caramel murmured.

"What?!"

Caramel stopped running and turned to face the infected. He stepped up and then stopped as he approached the entrance guard post. He then raised one hand and flicked his finger hard in the air.

A transparent wall made of aura emerged from the ground standing about three meters up and then closed from all directions so that there was no gap to enter from the front.

Those of us who saw it were only stunned by what Caramel did. He looked at us with a confident smile on his face. "You can go first, I'll keep no one here."

This was the same scene as he did while in the dome. He's an expert at things like this, huh? I saw the infected people who were violently speeding up and then hit hard because they hit the transparent wall. Even until there was a trace of blood so hard.

"You better do it right! Let's go upstairs!" Herlin spoke like that and immediately invited the others inside.

"I don't want to hear that from you, damn it." And Caramel wasn't happy to hear that. Looks like their relationship hasn't really gotten along even though it's been together a long time, huh?

"I'm counting on you." I can only say that before I go inside. While Caramel smiled happily to hear it.

Finally we went inside and left Caramel.

Once inside, the conditions here are quite dark because the electricity is no longer working, so we are trying to find an emergency power plant to turn on the lights. In addition, electricity is important because we will use electronic devices here. Lucky I found it in the basement of the building.

After it lights up, we gather again to draw up the plan that we will run here. "So, what are we after here?" ask Oukami.

"Broadcasting room. It looks like the room is on the top floor of this building."

Broadcasting room. In the room later we can make Arisu's voice heard all the way to the city. It was a crazy plan but it seemed to go very smoothly.

"But who will arrange the tools there? I don't even know what it takes."

"I can. I used to see people broadcasting on TV, so at least I know the basics of using it."

This person ... to what extent is the knowledge he has. It felt like there was nothing he didn't know. I don't know why I feel so envious and astonished.

"Why are you silent? Let's go upstairs!" herlin called me.

"Huh .. yes, yes." I also obeyed Herlin's orders. Lately scolded by him.

Degh's...

"Iraya, lookout!" tetsu and Cecilia said at the same time when I still did not know what was going on.

But suddenly I felt a bad feeling. The sensation of death was randomly behind me at this moment. My body that felt it became more difficult to move and horror spread in my spine.

"Revelation!"

Arisu's shout also made me even more convinced that this was not an ordinary random feeling. There really is something threatening my life behind me at this moment. I struggled but finally managed to look back.

A fist was almost no distance in front of my face. The centered and powerful aura I could feel in the fist, making me certain of one thing when feeling it.

I'm gonna die.

Braaagkh...

But his fists didn't hit me directly, even though the impact pushed me and something in front of me that blocked him from bouncing into the tables until it went through the walls of the building.

"Iraya!"

"Okami!"

I then realized something was blocking the fist. It was the shield of Oukami's artificial aura that left half the impact of the blow. "O-Oukami ...?" I hesitated and was still in a state of shock.

"Damn. I really didn't feel its existence until the very last second." He's still nagging as usual, it could be proof that he's okay. "Oi, are you alive?" ask Oukami.

"What the fuck is your question? Of course I won't die that easily! Besides getting out of front of me, you're heavy."

My back hit the wall hard enough that my back could be seen from the outside. And it hurts— even though I can regenerate, if it hurts it still hurts. Oukami then woke up after I pushed on, while I cleaned my back that was dirty due to the wall destruction.

"You all right?"

Herlin and Arisu immediately approached us and put up the horses wary of the stranger in front of us.

"Yes, pretty. Besides, do you know him? He suddenly attacked us," I asked.

I looked towards him. And I seem to have seen it. His body towered about 2.5 meters high and had straight black hair along the shoulders that was partially bangs covering his face. He is also a person who has large muscles but whose existence is very thin.

"He was otherwise mistaken .. one of the Assassins under Astaroth's control," Herlin said.

That's her! I should be a little familiar with him. It turned out that I saw him tied up in the ruins of the church that time, he was sitting quietly far enough away from me and I didn't really remember his face. But I remember once with his big body.

"Breasure ...." After Herlin reminded me, I remembered his name. He looked a little surprised when I said his name.

"You know his name?" ask Oukami.

"Yes, back when I was kidnapped, Astaroth once called his name. That's why I know."

"Hooked?" Arisu and Oukami asked at the same time. It looks like they're feeling weird because I was kidnapped.

"Forget about it. I heard that he is an Exception Physical Strength type. Therefore, be careful with his speed and strength," Herlin added.

"Physical Strength, huh?" Oukami made a grin and walked a few steps and stopped right in front of us. "O-Oukami?" I guess I can guess what he has in mind through his expression, but just to make sure ....

"Looks interesting! I'll deal with it! You can go first."

Tuh kan's! I know he's stupid, but facing an Assassin alone is tantamount to suicide. "I understand." Eh? "All right." Eh?! Herlin and Arisu agree with Oukami.

"Make sure he doesn't bother us!" said Herlin who ran up to the elevator, followed by me and Arisu.

I don't know if it's a good decision or not. But when the elevator door wanted to close, Baram's gaze stared intently at me.

After the three of us took the elevator, Baram and Oukami had a conversation that we could not hear.

"Now are you ready to fight?"

"They won't survive." Baram suddenly spoke.

"Because that's waiting up there .. There's someone stronger than me."

Baram's words confused Oukami. He did not understand what he meant, but for now he would focus on facing the opponent in front of him.

Tiings...

The elevator door opened and the three of us reached the top floor. The lights in this room are quite dark because there are no lights on here, even though we have turned on the emergency electricity in this building.

But the dim light of the moon's blue light coming through the glass walls helped us to see at least a little. We walked a few steps out of the elevator.

And that's when we saw it.

Someone was looking out from the glass wall of the building. He looked at us as if he were waiting for us. The gripping atmosphere encompassed that person, I could feel it from here if he was not an indiscriminate person.

A man about two years above me, had a haircut and a terrible aura. He brought out a mysterious smile to us.

Caramel PoVs

"Huh ...."

I let out a breath. A few minutes had passed since Iraya and the others went inside. And here I was, sitting on the marble staircase at the entrance, holding my hand.

There was nothing I could do but wait and watch my barrier. Actually why would I suddenly want to be left like this, huh? They should not have been able to break through it.

"Am I going in, huh?"

But I can't calm down if I have to leave him. Different story when I was with the Boss, I could be more relaxed then. But now I have to stand by my own strength.

So for some time, I'm going through this boredom with another fantasy. What am I going to dream about right now? What about life with Iraya in the future, maybe.

Somehow it makes me laugh amusedly, but at the same time also sad. The wall I had to go through for the delusion was too high and thick for me to break through, even though it was too stupid to be unaware of its own feelings, but it still stood very firm.

"Hah .. troublesome."

I'm out of my daydream. Thinking about it somehow made me even less excited, so I better stop it. My current body is also sticky and there is a lot of blood on my clothes. I want this over quickly and take a shower.

Craash... Craash...

"Hnm?"

Right after I ended my daydream, there was a noise coming from behind this crowd of infected humans. The splashes of blood also soared into the air several times and their attention was no longer on me.

There's only one thought to that right now. Looks like someone's still safe. And most likely, he was an Exception. There was no way an ordinary person could survive against such a crowd of infected people.

After a long time of fighting and getting closer and closer, I could finally see his form. Not just one person, there were five people who all wore masks to cover their mouths.

One of them then wiped the blood on my barrier and hit it hard like a panicked person. "Please let us in!"

I stood up from my seat. Then approach it casually— after all there is no need to rush for me. The distance I sat with the barrier was about five meters and I stopped when it was two meters from the barrier.

"Who are you?"

"We are the Exception of White Cloud!"

"really? Can you show me your identity?"

They should have something like an identity card proof that they are White Cloud— members in fact this is just an excuse for me to make them long and not let them in.

But he quickly showed it. "It! Now let us in!" It turns out they have something like that. Hitoni Tada's. Yeah, I don't care about his name, anyway. But now I'm running out of ideas to let them stay out. "The others?" Perhaps he had already pointed it out, but the other four were still on guard and fighting against the infected.

"There's no time for that!"

"There's always time for that. If they can't show it, you and the others can't come in."

"Tch!"

He looks angry. But I don't care. People I don't know really don't get my attention.

Eh?

Bzztt's... Swuush...

Suddenly the man disappeared from before me and returned with four identification cards belonging to his friend. Everything he did in about five seconds, I had a chance to see a small electric spark, so it seemed that he was an electrical-type Elemental Exception.

"Is this enough?!"

"...."

Although there were still doubts in my heart, but I finally let them all go inside. After entering, they looked exhausted and until someone fell asleep on the asphalt.

"We survived."

"So it was really almost once."

I turned around and sat back in the building. "Nobody can get close to this building from there. If you break it, you'll have consequences."

I gave them a ban. Exception that survives outside can be said to be a strong Exception, so letting them enter here is a risky consideration. But it seems like I've softened, ever since I entered Black Rain I've felt it too.

My harsh and apathetic self as an Assassin has somehow begun to return to humane. Maybe because I feel more relaxed here.

"Join ...."

"What?" One of the men stood up. He was the one who knocked on my barrier. He stood up from his place not moving closer and asked me.

"Are you also the Exception of White Cloud? I've never seen you before."

"No. I'm from Black Rain."

Others were surprised to hear that. But he calmed her down and continued his question to me. "Black Rain was wrong .... Kyoto-based organization led by Murasaki Oita, but now that he's dead, am I wrong?"

"No, what's wrong with that?"

"I'm just wondering what you're doing here now?" He started walking one step while continuing to ask.

"What Black Rain is doing here is none of your business, I don't need to answer."

He still kept asking other things and I also just answered soberly. But I'm more interested in looking back at the other four. I narrowed my eyes to focus more.

"Is something wrong?" He seemed to realize that I was not paying attention to his words and was blocking my view from his friends.

"No, nothing." I turned my face looking the other way, but my eyes glanced at Hitoni's face which still looked confused.

Looks like something's gonna happen from here. And for a moment, I regretted my choice of having let them in.
