Anime Crossover: The Small Workshop System's Aggressive Feeding

Page 12

"Did you go back to report? Or do you think I'm not a threat?"

Zhou Ye stood by the window, watching the sparse pedestrians below, pondering to himself. Whatever the reason, this was definitely good news for him. With no one watching, it would be much easier to move around.

"Perfect timing, now's the time..."

Zhou Ye pondered this in his mind, his consciousness sinking into his thoughts.

"System, are you there?"

[Ding, what are your orders, host?]

"If I use that [Resident Evil X Demon Slayer] dungeon card now, will it affect the passage of time in the real world?"

Zhou Ye asked the question he was most concerned about, "Don't let me go in and work hard to level up, only to come out to a completely different world."

This time, he wasn't just doing it to complete the mission; more importantly, he needed time—a lot of training time—to improve himself.

In this real world, I'm at most a cannon fodder, a lower-level demon, and there are plenty of people who can kill me at will, so I'll avoid using the "mother-calling" technique if possible.

[Ding, in the host's alternate world, one year is equivalent to one day in the current world. The host can also adjust the time flow ratio by consuming specific resources or completing special conditions, but the current default ratio is 365:1.]

"More each year than the last?"

Zhou Ye's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously touched his chin. He quickly calculated: "Today is Friday... tomorrow is Saturday, and the day after is Sunday. There are no classes at school, and nothing special happens..."

"That means I can stay in the dungeon for... a full two years!"

This discovery made Zhou Ye's heart race. Two years! In the real world, that's just a weekend, but in the dungeon, it's two years of growth opportunities. It's like a godsend, exactly what he wanted!

"Two years..."

He muttered to himself, a slight smile creeping onto his lips, "Enough for me to tinker with and improve my strength by a lot."

The combination of Resident Evil and Demon Slayer suggests that things won't be peaceful, but risks often come with opportunities.

Perfect, no one will bother me, so I can fully immerse myself in it.

After Zhou Ye returned home, he told Nami about entering the dungeon. Upon hearing that entering the dungeon would grant unlimited free purchases, Nami's eyes turned into sheep's eyes. She shook Zhou Ye's shoulders and kept dribbling and bumping into him, saying:

"Let's get into the dungeon quickly. These past few days of being able to look but not touch have driven me crazy with poverty. My gems, here I come!"

"Alright, alright. System, activate the dungeon card [Resident Evil X Demon Slayer]. Remember, once inside, call any strangers 'Captain'."

"I understand. In work settings, you refer to someone by their job title, Zhou Zhiwu."

[Ding, system received. Please have fun, host.]

A beam of black light sucked him and Nami into it. When Zhou Ye woke up, his head was buzzing, and he woke up with the regular clanging sound of wheels rolling over the rails. His vision was still a little blurry.

"Uh……"

He shook his head and found himself sitting in a swaying train carriage, wearing... what was this? A tracksuit?

"Nami? How are you?"

He turned to look to the side, where Nami was also rubbing her temples, staring blankly at her white uniform.

"I...I'm fine,"

Nami's voice was a little weak.

"These clothes... look familiar, don't they look like the ones from the school infirmary?"

The two exchanged a glance and quickly rummaged in their pockets. Zhou Ye pulled out a work ID:

"Zhou Ye, Physical Education Teacher, Fujimi Academy, Raccoon City".

He read it aloud, feeling a bit absurd.

"Teachers leading off-campus study tours?"

Nami also found her own:

"Health room doctor, Fujimi Academy, Raccoon City, Nami Tohsaka."

She frowned.

"What's going on? We just..."

"Duplicate Card".

Zhou Ye lowered his voice.

"Looks like we're in."

"This place has gone from virtual to real. Resident Evil X mixed with Demon Slayer? The Resident Evil in this game is probably the only one I've ever played that's been in a Resident Evil movie. They're playing word games with me!"

Zhou Ye recalled the information from the dungeon and considered the current situation.

"Look outside."

Outside the train window, a deep green forest rushed past, the sky somewhat overcast. Inside the carriage, most of the passengers were students dressed in the same Fujimi Academy uniform, chattering excitedly at the scenery outside, seemingly oblivious to anything unusual. A few others, dressed in suits with serious expressions and clearly unapproachable demeanor, sat scattered throughout, perhaps… bodyguards or researchers?

"This train..."

Zhou Ye observed the signs inside the carriage.

"The Zodiac train number? This symbol..."

He pointed to an inconspicuous red and white umbrella-shaped pattern.

"Umbrella Corporation."

Nami noticed it too:

"The Orient Express? The Umbrella Corporation? Where are they going... Mount Arklay?"

"It's pretty close." Zhou Ye sighed. "The timing... judging from the calm, it's probably the early stages of the Raccoon City incident, or even earlier. In short, a storm is brewing."

He thought to himself, "This is quite an 'exciting' start."

"Don't make a sound yet,"

Zhou Ye gestured to Nami and said:

"We're just ordinary teachers leading the team right now, let's get a clear picture of the situation before we make any decisions."

His gaze swept across the carriage, suddenly stopping at a corner. A girl in a black sailor uniform sat there quietly, completely out of place with the excitement of the other students. She had beautiful long purple hair, sharp eyes, and held a wooden hilt in her hand? Although there was no blade, the way she held it was definitely not something an ordinary student should do.

"Nami, look at that girl."

Zhou Ye gestured with his eyes.

Nami followed her gaze:

"Hmm? What's wrong? She's quite pretty... Wait, are you perhaps thinking of taking advantage of a young woman... I haven't even had my turn yet!"

Zhou Ye rolled his eyes at Nami. What was she thinking?

As for Saeko Busujima, one of the heroines in the beginner's village since the debut of this abandoned anime, he knew her all too well. In addition to his work badge, Zhou Ye didn't dare to think about how many other anime and games related to zombies in his memory had been pieced together. He could only explore it by trial and error.

Just then, the train suddenly shook violently, as if it had hit something. Accompanied by a piercing metallic scraping sound, the train's speed decreased sharply and finally stopped with a loud bang.

"what!"

"what happened?"

"Was there a car crash?"

The students panicked, screams erupting everywhere. Zhou Ye instinctively grabbed the handrail to steady himself, while looking out the window.

In the distance, at the edge of the deep forest beside the railway tracks, on a blurry cliff, there seemed to be a figure standing, with long hair fluttering in the wind. It was too far away to see clearly, but the figure exuded an indescribable eeriness.

"Attention passengers, attention passengers!"

The train conductor's somewhat distorted voice came over the loudspeaker: "The train has experienced a technical malfunction and has temporarily stopped. Engineers are working to repair it. Please remain calm and stay in your seats..."

"Technical malfunction?"

Zhou Ye scoffed.

"Only ghosts believe it."

He keenly noticed that something was wrong with the floor at the junction of the carriages; it was wet and reflective, like... some kind of slime.

"Zhou Ye!"

Nami suddenly grabbed his arm, her face pale, and pointed out the window.

"Then...what is that?!"

Zhou Ye looked in the direction she pointed, his pupils shrinking sharply. Deep within the forest, countless dark shadows were writhing and surging forth, like a tidal wave crashing towards the stationary train. They were… leeches? But much larger than ordinary leeches, and moving at an astonishing speed!

"not good!"

Zhou Ye felt a chill run down his spine and immediately reacted. "Everyone! Close the windows! Lock the doors! Quickly!" he roared. His identity as a physical education teacher came into play at this moment, his voice loud and clear, carrying an unquestionable command.

Although the students were flustered, they still hurriedly tried to pull up the windows and lock the doors under the teacher's guidance.

However, it's too late.

"what--!"

The first screams came from the rear carriages of the train; the sounds were so shrill they seemed inhuman. Soon after, screams, cries, and chaos spread like a plague.

"Use luggage! Seats! Block the door!" Zhou Ye shouted as he pulled over several large suitcases to prop up the door at the junction of the carriages.

"Teacher! Here! At the ventilation shaft!"

A girl screamed and pointed at the air conditioner vent above her head.

Several slimy leeches had already crawled in through the gaps in the grille, fallen to the ground, and wriggled as they crawled toward the nearest person!

"Damn it!" Zhou Ye cursed under his breath. This thing was everywhere!

"Ah! My legs!"

A boy cried out in pain as a leech bit his calf.

The leech, as if alive, swiftly burrowed into his trouser leg. The boy frantically thrashed his leg, but soon his movements slowed. The bite wound visibly darkened and spread, his body began to convulse uncontrollably, and his eyes quickly became bloodshot.

"Xiao Tian? You..." The classmate next to him was about to help him up.

"Roar!" The bitten boy suddenly raised his head, let out a low roar, and opened his mouth to bite the classmate next to him!

"Watch out!" Zhou Ye reacted quickly, rushing forward to grab "Xiao Tian's" attacking arm, twisting it behind his back, and simultaneously using his knee to press him firmly to the ground. This guy's strength had become surprisingly great!

"Let me go... let me go..."
