When Lancer woke up, it was that familiar frozen world.
'Is this the only place that will always be with me?'
Although he was sighing, he was actually much calmer this time than before, having transmigrated a few times already.
"Is it modern society again? I just don't know where?"
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar modern streets, Lancer couldn't help but sigh twice, but then he felt that something was wrong with his body, especially the position of his 'right arm'.
When in doubt, ask the system.
Although he didn't know why the system's presence was getting lower and lower, and it was almost completely unresponsive in the last world, its response to Lancer own situation was very accurate, such as his various physical attributes and various DEBUFFs.
「Skaha's Gift·Higanbana
Type: Geis
Effect: Gain one-time immunity to death when hit by a fatal attack
Price: Skaha's Trial of the Dead
Description: The gift of the Queen of the Land of Shadows to her favorite disciple」
「Essence of the Devil (Ice)
Type: Geis
Effect: Strengthen the manipulation of 'ice'
Price: Cannot flee from a challenge by a person with 'devil' blood
Description: The result of the Queen of the Land of Shadows using 'Rune Runes' to modify the imperial tool 'Essence of the Devil'」
Okay, Lancer finally knew what was wrong with him, it turned out to be 'Geis .
If some people feel unfamiliar with 'Geis', then mentioning two famous lancers should not be unfamiliar——————Cu Chulainn and Diarmuid.
The cause of death for Diarmuid and Cu Chulainn was precisely 'Geis'.
Cu Chulainn's were 'not to eat dog meat, not to go near a bonfire', 'not to refuse food given by someone of lower status than oneself', and 'not to refuse a bard's request'.
In the final battle, Cu Chulainn was invited by Maeve, who was disguised as an old woman, to eat dog meat, which put him in a dilemma. In the end, he lost his protective power, and then a bard asked him to hand over his 'Gae Bolg'. The opponent threw it three times in a row, the first two times killing Cu Chulainn's beloved horse and a charioteer, and the last time hitting Cu Chulainn's vital point.
Diarmuid was even more tragic. He was cursed with a 'Geis' at birth that he would one day die at the hands of a 'wild boar', and was finally killed by the king he 'served' using this 'Geis'.
Although 'Geis' is a restraint, it is also a reinforcement for the holder. As long as the 'price' or 'restraint' is not exposed, the reinforcement effect is greater than the negative effect, such as the two 'Geis' that Lancer currently holds.
But what made him even more curious was which world he had arrived in this time?
「Countdown ends, mission begins, main mission announced: survive in the plot world for 360 days」
It was still that familiar voice, and even the main mission had no changes, so Lancer was not surprised at all. He just used the last bit of time to summon the 'equipment box' and change into a suit, which was the clothes he wore when he was an investigator.
When he had finished changing, the world gradually unfroze, and Lancer pretended to be casually strolling on the street.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar street full of pedestrians, his expression was a little subtle. The first time he 'transmigrated', he had no experience. When he saw a bunch of strangers, he felt nervous and ran into a small alley with few people. Now that he thinks about it carefully, if he had been calmer at the time, even if he had pretended to be a foreign tourist and walked on the street instead of foolishly running into a small alley with few people, he probably wouldn't have been attacked by a Ghoul, right?
But now he looked very calm, even if a bomb...
"Bang!!"
Lancer wild thoughts had not yet ended when there was an explosion in the distance, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
'Could it be that the first kill this time is this?'
After complaining, he didn't rush forward immediately but instead hid behind a car parked on the side of the road, using it as cover, because he needed to first confirm what kind of world this was.
Just after he had hidden, a piercing shriek came again, and then Lancer saw something that looked like a 'monster' appear in the distance.
"I didn't run into a 'tokusatsu' world, did I?"
Lancer himself didn't know much about tokusatsu. The reason he knew this term was only because he accidentally searched for 'Ultraman', a childhood memory, when he grew up and found out about this specific term.
"Bang~ bang~ bang~"
And at this moment, the ground shook...
'Could it really be Ultraman?'
Although he had only watched a few episodes when he was a child and had long forgotten everything after growing up, he was still inevitably a little excited to suddenly see a 'childhood memory'. But when he turned around excitedly, he saw a blond woman wearing an eye-exposing hood and a tight-fitting suit running from the distance, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I here for?
Even when the blond woman and the suspected monster started fighting, Lancer felt incredibly out of place, but it was at this moment, when the ordinary people who had been scattered began to gather again, that Lancer had to confirm something—————— Maybe this was normal in this world?
But at this moment, an accident happened again. When the monster was hugged by the blond woman, the surface of its body suddenly let out a series of dense explosions, and the blond woman also let out a cry of grief.
No matter how he looked at it, the woman should be on the 'side of justice'. After all, he could still judge some things based on the appearances of the two sides and the reactions of the passers-by, so he also decided to take action, but before taking action, he needed to do some disguise.
First, he put on the 'Mask of Resolve', then summoned an ice long spear, and the suit on his body could be changed at any time. OK, the equipment was fine.
Lancer, who rushed out of the corner, charged at the 'monster' without hesitation. First, a throw directly hit the monster that was about to hug the woman back, and the right hand hit by the ice spear was instantly frozen. The opponent also had to let go of its hands and release the blond woman in its arms.
And after seeing that the attack worked, Lancer immediately summoned another ice cavalry spear and launched a charge.
Compared to the huge size of over ten meters, Lancer, who was less than two meters tall, looked incredibly tiny, but Lancer himself didn't think so. After all, he had dealt with a lot of large creatures. After nimbly dodging the opponent's swinging arm, he directly rushed into the opponent's arms.
'Huge size, but the attacks are completely disorganized. This kind of opponent is simply too weak!'
For a while, his opponents were at least monsters from mythology, or even the legendary 'Son of Light' and the 'Queen of the Land of Shadows', so the monster's flawed attacks seemed like a living target to him.
All the strength in his body gathered in his hands, and with a simple stab, the 'monster' was instantly knocked down.
A cheer erupted from the crowd, and Lancer, hearing the cheers, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had done the right thing.
Then he showed no mercy with his hands, raising the ice cavalry spear high above his head. As for the target, it was naturally the opponent's head. After all, Lancer had no way of confirming where the opponent's heart was, so attacking the head was the safest option at this time!
"Puchi~!"
As the cavalry spear pierced the monster's head, the hands that had been wildly swinging finally stopped, and Lancer also let out a sharp breath.
There was no doubt that his 'battle process' this time could be said to be almost perfect.
First, he used a javelin to make the opponent release the hostage, then knocked the opponent down with one blow, and finally made a killing blow.
It only took three moves from his appearance to defeating the opponent, and the time was not even 20 seconds. This was also because the opponent's huge size delayed the time.
But what happened next was completely beyond Lancer expectations——————
"Aaaaaah!!"
First, there was a shriek like a supersonic wave, and then Lancer saw the blond woman he had just rescued constantly screaming and retreating.
Then, the ordinary people who had been cheering for him collectively froze, and then actually let out a series of screams and fled in all directions.
Lancer, standing on the corpse of the 'monster', was full of disbelief. He had no idea what had happened. Didn't he defeat the 'monster'? Why did the crowd seem to be seeing a monster?
And this seemed to be just the beginning. With the blond woman's shriek, countless people in 'bizarre costumes' rushed over from the distance.
Most of them looked at Lancer and the corpse under Lancer with anger on their faces.
When the number of people in bizarre costumes reached a certain number, one of them, who looked like the leader, also stepped forward.
"Murderer, surrender now!"
Huh?
Lancer, who was already confused, became even more confused.
——————
Hero Association
"Association? A 'Quirk criminal' has just been killed on the main road! I need information! Estimated height is around 180, and the quirk should be related to ice! Request to confirm the information!"
When this message was sent out, the entire Hero Association was shocked. Although not all 'criminals' could be captured alive, it was generally rare for a hero to kill an enemy in a public place. After all, even if they couldn't solve the opponent, they only needed to stall for time, and the 'solver' would appear. But this time, this person with an unknown identity directly killed the 'criminal', which immediately made everyone feel shocked. How long had it been since a similar accident occurred?
But what was even more unexpected was that there was no information in the domestic database that matched the person's figure and quirk.
"Be careful! The other party has not undergone 'quirk' registration! It is highly likely that they are also a criminal!"
The face of the 'Pro Hero' who was reporting immediately became extremely serious after receiving a reply from the back.
"Murderer, surrender now!"
The leading Pro Hero found that after he shouted, the 'murderer' seemed to be in a bit of a strange situation?
Could it be that the other party really intended to surrender?
He wouldn't fall for such a simple trick!
Someone who dared to kill someone on the street, even if it was a 'quirk criminal'! The person who took action was definitely not a good person!
"Everyone be careful!"
He immediately shouted, and the others also became wary. According to the headquarters, the top-ranked Pro Heroes were already rushing to their location. As long as they stalled until the main force arrived, everything would be fine!
