Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

After taking a shower, Shinji and Shubi returned to their room. They probably didn't have any important tasks to do for now, although the process was a bit tortuous...

However, the results now are still very good, basically exceeding the expected plan, so the next step is to use Riku's smart brain to make a plan.

Come to think of it, it was obviously his job to come up with ideas before, but I didn't expect that it would be handed over to someone else now... But to be honest, it does feel good not to have to use my brain.

"Shinji..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Hubie?"

Shinji turned his head in confusion when he heard the call, and then a helpless expression appeared on his face...

Hubie slipped onto the bed again and patted the quilt to signal him to come in. Although he had seen it many times and didn't have such strong emotional fluctuations as before, this scene was very tortured no matter how he looked at it.

"You really have a mission... But I can't do that today. I still need to do some more research."

"Research?"

"Yes, in this operation I fought against the [Dwarves] and [Beastmen] again. Their fighting style is different from your [Ex-Machina]..."

"So I want to continue my research on [Elves]. It just so happens that I have a trick that helps me transform energy. Maybe I can create a new way of fighting!"

"Oh…"

“…So you still didn’t understand…”

“Hubby…I understand!”

"How did you learn to lie?"

Shinji looked at Hubie suspiciously. He felt that the other party had started to become bad recently. It must be those bastards in the base who had influenced him. As expected, he smiled too much.

Just as Shinji was holding his chin, wondering whether he should deal with those people, a female voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Ahhh~ Humans and Ex-Machinas are actually getting together, this is really big news!"

"!!!"

Hearing this rather unfamiliar voice, Shinji and Shubi instantly became alert, and kept scanning every corner of the room with their backs to each other, but...

…No one?

how come…

"Hehehehe!"

Another burst of laughter was heard, and the Sharingan in Shinji's eyes was almost smoking, but he still couldn't see anything unusual around him. Even Shubi's detection radar didn't react at all.

Shinji's heart suddenly sank...

The base was invaded, and the two strongest men couldn't find each other at all.

This is not a good thing...

"Hubby, can you tell the other person's race?"

“No… Before the other party shows up or takes action, there is no useful information, but… if it is the [Sky Shift] of the Flügel and some of the [Phantasma] and [Old Deus] that have not been recorded, I am afraid they can do this…”

“…This is troublesome.”

Shinji and Shubi were communicating in low voices, while at the same time they were using their Sharingan to vigilantly observe the movements around them, but still gained nothing.

Just when the two were extremely nervous, the owner of the voice appeared directly:

"Those eyes...it seems that they are your special feature."

"!"

"This...this is!"

Shinji suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the girl who suddenly appeared on the chair in front of him...

The black hair hangs straight down, and the pair of red eyes make the handsome face look more noble...but this is not the most important thing!

The most important thing is… the black heart-shaped tail sticking out from the back, the pair of thin little wings behind, the rather embarrassing belly-baring outfit and mini skirt…

Shinji: I'm afraid! There's a succubus!!!

"Enemy found! Acquire... Identify its race information... Identify successfully! The enemy is a [blood-sucking species]."

"Blood-sucking species? Oh! So it's a vampire..."

Shinji looked at the pointed little fangs exposed at the corners of the other person's mouth and breathed a sigh of relief... It seemed that he was indeed a vampire.

That's true, how could there really be such an unruly race in the world... But even though I said that, why did I suddenly feel a little disappointed?

Shaking his head to get rid of the series of terrible images that emerged in his mind, Shinji became serious again and stared at the other party's movements vigilantly.

Anyway, since he was able to easily evade his and Hubie's detection and dare to show up so blatantly, the person who came must be no small character...

Thinking of this, Shinji quietly asked Shubi beside him:

"As for vampires, what rank does he have? Or is he a member of the Phantasmagoria?"

However, both of Shinji's guesses were rejected by Hubie. Just when Shinji was shocked and wondered if the other party was an [Old God] from somewhere, Hubie gave the correct answer:

"Correction, the opponent is not a [vampire], but a [blood-sucking species]. The species sequence is twelfth. Individuals of this species are extremely good at illusion magic. Although they are generally not good at fighting, their superb hiding ability is difficult to detect even by higher races."

"…ha!?"

Seize...seize less?

twelve?

Shinji looked at the other person in disbelief, then looked at Hubie... Not because of anything else, but mainly because this invader was too weak.

First of all, it is certain that Shubi will not deceive him, and then the big data of the Ex-Machina is also trustworthy... So the other party did not show up because he is extremely confident in his own strength, but simply because he thinks that... he can run fast?

"Snapped…"

Shinji slapped his forehead speechlessly. Now he finally understood why he had no impression of this [blood-sucking species]...

Currently, only the first six races can pose a threat to him, and he can only remember the [Dwarfs] and [Elves] after that, but he is too lazy to remember the others.

When Shinji thought about how the two of them, the strongest fighters in the human race, were actually frightened by such a weakling, he immediately felt ashamed...

On the other hand, the other party still had an arrogant look on his face, as if he didn't think his current situation was very dangerous, and was still staring at the pair of beautiful, gem-like eyes.

"What's wrong, human? Are you looking down on me?"

"Heh... Don't get carried away just because you have some special abilities. A monkey is still a monkey after all. It's useless even if you hook up with those mechanical idiots!"

"..."

"What's wrong? Are you speechless? It seems that you are just like this..."

Seeing that the other party remained silent, the vampire girl continued to mock him casually... The next moment, the somewhat special human in her sight suddenly rushed up, and the speed he burst out at that moment even exceeded that of the beastman.

Faced with this sudden attack, the vampire girl was secretly surprised, but still did not look panicked.

Then in a very short time, Shinji's attack landed on the vampire girl, but such a quick attack actually missed?

"Hehehe... you idiot who only knows how to use brute force, you are no match for me!"

The girl's laughter echoed inside the room, but only the voice was heard but no one was seen... She looked at the two guys opposite her who were on guard because they couldn't find her, and smiled with great satisfaction.

"Hehehe..."

“…Hehahahaha!”

“…Hehe…Hehe…”

"?"

Hubie tilted his head, looking at the vampire girl in front of him with a puzzled look. She was sitting motionless on the chair but kept making strange laughter... Is this person a fool?

Turning around, he saw Shinji walking back to the table where he had done experiments nonchalantly, picking up the monocle on it and putting it on.

"Shinji?"

"Well... that guy fell into my illusion and is still immersed in his own fantasy."

Shinji said casually...

This guy is quite stubborn. Can he use his Sharingan casually?

Obviously, people who knew the situation tried to avoid her, but she just stared at her intently... Shinji would feel guilty if he didn't use an illusion on her.

"Oh... so we're going to kill her?"

"No, this guy broke in quietly. I don't know if she saw any important information, or if she has other companions... Anyway, she still needs to be interrogated..."

"But I have something else to do now, so Hubie... the important task of interrogating this guy is left to you! Can you do it?"

"Hubby can!"

Seeing that Hubie took on this important task seriously, Shinji felt relieved and turned around to focus on his own research.

Hubie stared at the blood-sucking creature in front of him who was grinning foolishly for a while, then pulled out a rope from the side and tied him tightly to the chair.

After finishing, he looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction - a tied-up vampire!

Then, Hubie pinched her chin and thought... Shinji said he wanted to torture her, so he had to wake him up first...

Wake up...

That's the way...

"Snapped!"

"Ah!!! Who! Who hit me!"

The girl who was dreaming on the chair woke up instantly, feeling a burning pain on her face, and angrily looked for the murderer.

She immediately saw the Mecha-Machina kid in front of her who was still posing. Before she could curse, she suddenly realized that she, who had just been teasing the other party, was now tied to a chair and unable to move!

"!?"

I was confused and just wanted to say something when suddenly another slap came from the other side of my face...

"Snapped!"

"Tell me! Who are you?"

"..."

what happened?

who I am? Where am I? What am I doing?
