Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?

Zhuang Zhengyan woke up for the first time after falling into a coma, awakened by the burning sensation of her own blood.

She opened her eyes and saw an expressionless woman holding a syringe and injecting some liquid into Zhuang Zhengyan.

This woman was the Fire Extinguisher who was bribed by Chen Cheng through money and sex transactions. She seemed quite satisfied with her operation.

"You are awake." Fire Extinguisher said coldly, "It seems that you have adapted to the Kabane virus very successfully. It is rare that my rough method can give birth to a powerful Kabaneri."

Zhuang Zhengyan tried to struggle, but found that her limbs were bound by iron chains and could not move. The burning sensation began to spread from the injection site to the whole body, making her feel as if she was in purgatory.

She could also feel the heart in her left chest expanding rapidly, becoming larger and brighter, and the blood in her body became hot, reacting with the holy light that originally existed in her body and causing bursts of severe pain.

The heart seemed to be reborn, expanding rapidly into a glowing and hot organ, transporting the burning blood to the whole body.

She wanted to ask her own questions, but could only make a whimpering sound, her mouth was sealed by the balled cloth.

Looking at the twisted expression of fear and pain on Zhuang Zhengyan's face, Extinguishing Fire had no mercy.

"You are very special." Extinguishing Fire continued, his tone cold and calm, "You can wake up in this situation, which means you have the potential to become a powerful Kabaneri."

Zhuang Zhengyan's consciousness gradually blurred in the burning sensation, as if her body no longer belonged to her. Everything became strange and terrifying, and she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that all this was just a nightmare.

However, a reminder sound from the reincarnation space let her know that her real nightmare had just begun.

[No. a19872, successfully obtained the bloodline [Kabaneri] (tentative name) through bloodline items, you are the first reincarnation to obtain this bloodline, and have the right to name this bloodline]

[You have obtained part of the world exploration degree of this mission world, please check the pioneering rewards at the settlement. 】

Zhuang Zhengyan felt desperate, she didn't want this low-quality bloodline.

This meant that her potential was basically determined, and the "contraband" subsidy given by the organization for each mission would also be reduced.

It also meant that she would disappoint her father.

She didn't want any rewards for pioneering, she just wanted to regain her freedom and live.

The next words of the fire-extinguishing made her heart even colder.

"It's okay, we will all make indelible contributions to the "liberation" of Japan. I will go ahead of you and absorb Kabane as the core of the [Fusion Group] to destroy Kongo Guo and bring new life to this country!"

The female guard had a resolute look on her face and a yearning for sacrifice, as if she was a believer of some fanatical religion.

"I won't be alone. After I run out of vitality, it's time for you to inject [Black Plasma] into the core of [Fusion Group] and contribute to the 'liberation' of Hinode."

After that, the female Kabaneri stood at attention, saluted Zhuang Zhengyan who couldn't move, and growled, "Liberation!"

Before Zhuang Zhengyan's brain could react, the female guard left.

[Wait, isn't this return mission to fight with the Karikata people? How did it become 'liberation' of Hinode? Did I travel through time? ]

Zhuang Zhengyan found that her limbs could not move, and a cloth ball was stuffed in her mouth. She could only make a roar that conveyed no meaning.

She was full of questions and fears, but she couldn't express them. Her roar was drowned out by the noise around her, because the sound of the Kabane group bound by iron cages around her was louder.

Zhuang Zhengyan's consciousness fell into darkness again in the noisy and powerless struggle. She felt that her fate was like this train, heading towards an abyss that she could not control.

——

Zhuang Zhengyan woke up for the second time after the train stopped at Jingangguo.

Shortly after waking up, she saw Chen Cheng practicing swordplay with a ferocious and stiff smile.

She looked at Chen Cheng, who was a few meters away from her. She figured out all the weirdness of the mission along the way, and naturally understood that Chen Cheng was the culprit of all this.

Zhuang Zhengyan's eyes were full of anger, but because her mouth was stuffed with cloth, she couldn't say a word, and could only try to roar.

Chen Cheng, who had just recovered from practicing swordplay, looked at Zhuang Zhengyan, who looked like she wanted to eat him, and unconsciously showed that stiff and weird smile on his face.

He was going to use his talent [Cognitive Rewrite] to consume the little remaining 'fuel' and let the saint be quiet.

In order to prevent the female Kabaneri from suddenly attacking and hurting people, the cautious Chen Cheng kept a safe enough distance from her when he activated his talent, but unexpectedly failed.

[You are being affected by the talent [Cognitive Rewrite]. Because of the priority of the [Binding] skill, you are immune to the effect of this talent. ]

The sudden burning sensation gave Zhuang Zhengyan a strange feeling. She felt a strange tattoo emerging on her lower abdomen with this new burning sensation.

At the same time, Chen Cheng was about to continue reading his great plan to Zhuang Zhengyan, the dead person in his mind, and explain in detail his careful planning for this mission.

He stood in front of Zhuang Zhengyan, enjoying his victory that he thought was impeccable.

However, Chen Cheng's master posture was interrupted by the sudden gunshot after only a few seconds. He chose to roll over at almost the speed of light to avoid the fatal threat posed by the incoming bullets.

He was shot by Fang Yi.

After a battle in which the operation was crushed by the mechanism, Zhuang Zhengyan fell into a coma again with the [Black Plasma] thrown by Chen Cheng before his death.

——

Zhuang Zhengyan's consciousness gradually blurred, and the whole person fell into a weird but real dream.

In the dream, she felt that her body was getting bigger and bigger, and her vision was getting higher and higher.

She felt that she was as tall as a giant tower, overlooking everything around her. An irrepressible desire for destruction emerged from her heart, as if there was a force driving her to destroy everything in front of her.

She tried to control herself, but this desire seemed to be completely beyond her control. Her hands became huge, and every swing brought great destruction. Buildings turned into ruins under her power, and the ground trembled under her footsteps.

At the same time, Zhuang Zhengyan felt her vitality slowly draining away.

Every destruction seemed to consume her energy and life. Although her body became stronger, this power came at the cost of her life.

She longed to stop all this, but could not get rid of this invisible bondage

[Am I going to die? It's ironic that I died under the trust that I have always admired. ]

[I shouldn't have trusted Chen Cheng, a temporary teammate, just because we were in the same organization and could enter the space in advance. ]

In the last moments of her life, Zhuang Zhengyan thought of her father's words judging her.

[My father was right to teach me that I can't trust others easily, and I will definitely pay a heavy price. ]

[It's just that the price this time is a bit too painful. If there is no accident, the price should be my life. ]

[I]

Then, Zhuang Zhengyan, who was already thinking about her last words, felt her body tremble, and then her body became lighter.

The whole person fell into someone's arms.

The glowing heart that brought her pain all the time was taken out, and replaced by a brand new heart that exuded a warm breath.

The new heart began to deliver warm blood, and together with the holy light in Zhuang Zhengyan's body, it suppressed the previous burning sensation.

The pain and fear in her mind gradually faded, replaced by a rare tranquility and peace.

She half-opened her eyes, and her blurred vision gradually became clear, and she saw Fang Yi's face with a strange charm.

Zhuang Zhengyan's eyes were deeply locked on Fang Yi's face, as if she saw a god that belonged only to her.

[It seems that I survived. It's great to be saved by him. ]

[Is this the reward called "trust" that I planted? ]

She fell into a coma again.

——

When she opened her eyes again, what came into view was the strange and familiar steam pipes on the ceiling.

What came to her ears was the sound of workers and warriors talking in the distance, instead of the low roars of groups of Kabane before.

Her mind was still a little chaotic, and her thoughts were in a mess, as if she was wandering between dreams and reality.

[Is she really rescued? 】

She struggled to sit up and saw Fang Yi who had just opened the door of the carriage and walked in.

The man's figure was particularly clear under the light, as if a ray of hope pierced the darkness that enveloped her.

[Is it true? I really survived? ]

She stared at Fang Yi blankly until he waved his hand several times in front of her eyes, and then she confirmed that she was in reality.

Seeing that she finally responded, Fang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to her, and was about to speak.

Zhuang Zhengyan looked at the hand that stopped in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out her left hand to hold it.

At that moment, the warmth from the palm made her feel unprecedented comfort and peace of mind.

[Is this the "trust" I long for? ]

The tears that had been accumulated in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, and began to slide down her cheeks.

After holding Fang Yi's hand, she could no longer control her emotions and finally burst into tears.
