"Yes, once the order is given, we'll launch a full-scale attack. Saya... you... be careful to protect yourself later."
Although they had only just met, Kiba Mikoto was a kind-hearted girl full of a sense of justice, and she instinctively spoke with concern.
"Don't worry, you've seen my marksmanship before, haven't you? No problem."
Although Saya was a little nervous, she wasn't afraid; on the contrary, she was quite eager to try.
"Then, be careful not to hurt innocent people."
Kiba Mikoto gave one more instruction, then drove her motorcycle straight towards the manor gate.
Boom~~
Sword Light Princess, who was responsible for long-range support, used an anti-materiel rifle to violently smash through the manor gate. The cultists who were on guard duty were almost all frightened by this sudden attack.
Immediately afterwards, Kiba Mikoto drove her motorcycle into the manor with a roar, while Takagi Saya, sitting behind Kiba Mikoto, held a bullpup submachine gun in each hand and opened fire on the cultists in the manor who were trying to stop them.
"This is really... reckless."
Niu Kun held a pair of binoculars and gazed into the distance at the manor that exuded an aura of decadence. Then he saw a sudden explosion and two incredibly brave girls rushing into the manor.
"Hey, isn't that Saya? How interesting."
Yuno Gasai, who was standing guard beside Niu Kun, frowned subconsciously upon hearing this, thinking to herself, "Is it another of my master's familiars?"
"Sure enough, following your intuition is always the right thing to do."
As dusk fell, Niu Kun secretly led Yuno away from the Busujima family home, preparing to find their next target. Although this seemed like searching for a needle in a haystack, Niu Kun trusted his instincts, or rather, his unlucky constitution.
As expected, Niu Kun was not disappointed. He wandered to the nearby suburbs and keenly sensed a trace of depravity and evil. He followed the trail and happened to encounter an unknown silver-haired beauty who was carrying Takashiro Saya into the manor.
"There's also sniper support; it seems Saya has joined some organization as well."
With that in mind, Niu Kun decided not to appear immediately and to observe for a while first.

Chapter Forty-Nine: Roar
The battle in the manor was fierce from the very beginning. Despite it being her first time participating in such a mission, Takagi Saya showed no fear or apprehension. Wielding a pair of submachine guns and utilizing her heightened senses, she managed to suppress the firepower of the dozen or so cultist gunmen on the other side.
"Wow...that's amazing! Saya-chan!"
Another support girl with large breasts and pink hair, Nashita Oriha, stood on the roof of the car and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Indeed, it seems the chairman has invited a fine young woman."
Sagiri Tomoko, carrying a long sword, nodded slightly, then said to her companion, Kaguya Sayo, "Alright, let's not just watch the show. It wouldn't be good if we accidentally hurt the two beauties."
After saying that, Sagiri Tomoko took the lead and strode into the manor. Although it was necessary to give the newcomers some experience, it was obviously not possible to kill them in the process.
Jiu Xiaoye, carrying a heavy shield, a heavy machine gun, and a man-portable autocannon, laughed heartily and strode forward, showing no sign of being burdened by the heavy weapons and ammunition on his back.
At this time, the cultists inside the manor had been defeated and were in retreat. The believers who were taking drugs and ascending to immortality scattered throughout the manor were oblivious to what was happening outside. Even the gunshots and explosions could not wake them up, but they could not avoid being affected by stray bullets or explosions.
"No, this will cause too many accidental injuries!"
Kind-hearted Kiba Mikoto couldn't bear to see the deceived believers die or be injured, so she called out to Saya, "Saya, cover me!"
Kiba Mikoto then got back on the motorcycle and started driving through the narrow and complex terrain of the manor. With her superb skills, she broke through the barrage of fire, leaped off the ground, and fired continuously, holding an eight-shot revolver in each hand.
While not every shot was a headshot, they were still fairly accurate, at least hitting someone.
"We're out of bullets...we're running out of bullets."
After covering Kiba Mikoto's charge through the barrage of fire, Takagi Saya awkwardly discovered that because the submachine gun's rate of fire was too high, it was consuming too many bullets and was about to run out.
Fortunately, at this moment, Tomoko Sagiri and Sayo Kaname arrived to provide support and restored firepower.
"Mikoto, bow your head."
Shu Xiaoye first lowered the heavy shield, then set up the heavy gun and opened fire. Amidst the roar, a series of explosions tore a line of death, with smoke and dust flying everywhere and screams echoing.
"What a shame."
Deep underground in the manor, a stern-faced fat man shook his head. If these inexplicable women had arrived any later, past midnight, the ritual of depravity would have been complete.
As the smoke cleared, Mikoto jumped up from the ground, dusted herself off, and was about to greet her companions when she suddenly heard Takagi Saya shout in alarm, "Watch out! A monster has appeared!"
"what?!"
Boom~
A spider the size of a house emerged from the ground, its sharp hiss particularly piercing.
"Mikoto, retreat quickly!"
Sagiri Tomoko's hair suddenly turned pinkish-white, and the long sword Orochi slashed fiercely at the giant spider. On the other side, Kaname Sayo also hurriedly continued to use the heavy machine gun to sweep the giant spider.
The giant spider unleashed its eight iron-like claws and rammed into you like a heavy truck, forcing Kiba Mikoto to desperately dodge.
boom!
A cloud of dust billowed up, carrying wood chips, gravel, and broken bones and corpses flying everywhere. Houses and artificial hills swayed precariously from the impact, almost collapsing.
The machine gun bullets struck the giant spider, splattering countless foul-smelling bloodstains, but they could not kill it. Sagiri Tomoko had no choice but to risk getting close and slashing at the spider's claw joint with her knife.
The blade sliced into the giant spider's claw joints, spurting out foul-smelling blood from the broken ends. It seemed to be effective, but then Tomoko Sagiri was caught in a suddenly expanding spider web and helplessly fell to the ground.
"Tomoko!" Seeing that the machine gun's power was not obvious, Koyo quickly switched to the man-portable machine gun.
"Look at me!"
However, at this moment, Nashita Oriha, holding a grenade launcher, fired three shots at the giant spider, and orange-red explosions lit up the flames.
Meanwhile, Kiba Mikoto seized the opportunity to grab Sagiri Tomoko, and Takagi Saya rushed up to help Kiba Mikoto retreat. However, the spider web wrapped around Sagiri Tomoko was difficult to tear apart, and she was unable to free Sagiri Tomoko.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Having switched to a 20mm man-portable autocannon, Kaname Koya unleashed a barrage of fire at the giant spider, the more powerful cannon blasting the giant spider to pieces.
"Are we going to be wiped out?"
Kiba Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously asked, "Compared to fighting villains, this kind of monster is really hard to deal with."
"I'm afraid there are other enemies as well."
Despite her keen senses, Takagi Saya did not show any ease; she could sense the deep evil lurking beneath the manor.
"Hello, I'm Nan Lixiang, the newly transferred criminal police officer."
"Reporting, I am... I am Nakaoka Asami..."
Some distance outside the manor, two police cars pulled up one after the other. One of them got out, dressed smartly as Nanri Kaori, followed by Nakaoka Asami, who looked somewhat nervous.
"Um, I'm Detective Tatara Isoroku, and this is Suzue Yoshimi."
Officer Tatara, who was not tall and had slightly uneven eyes, casually introduced himself to his subordinates and then stopped talking nonsense: "The fighting has already started at the Spring Island Manor, so let's not waste any more time."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions rang out. Officer Tatara was shocked and filled with rage. He muttered under his breath, "These lawless bastards!"
After cursing, Officer Totoro, holding a revolver, ran towards the manor regardless of the danger, shouting as he ran.
"Don't follow us. Call for backup and wait for backup."
"Hehe, this world is really more interesting."
Nanri smiled, then turned around and pulled a long box from the car.
"Um, Officer Tatara is actually a really nice person..."
Suzue Yoshimi awkwardly tried to explain for Officer Tatara, while Nakaoka Asami, sitting opposite her, didn't seem to mind. She had only been a lowly traffic inspector before, but unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, she ended up as a detective in this world.
"Oh, oh, I can... I can tell."
Although Nakaoka Mami is rather timid, she has been strengthened by Niu Kun through a contract and has experienced being bullied by him, so her resilience is already extraordinary. Of course, she still habitually sounds somewhat timid in her speech.
"Alright, enough chatting, let's get ready to go."
Nanri Kaori, carrying the assembled sniper rifle, reported to the rear and requested support while beckoning Mami to follow.
"Eh? Wait...wait a minute..."
Seeing that Nanri Rika and Nakaoka Asami were about to follow, Suzue Yoshimi quickly drew her sidearm and, ignoring Officer Tatara's orders, rushed forward as well.
At the same time, another Chinook helicopter appeared in the sky, its target being Spring Island Manor, which had just displayed intense psionic fluctuations.
Chapter Fifty: Something Happened
"Ministry of Defense, Special Operations Division 1 has arrived at the scene."
Illuminated by the lights, the massive helicopter slowly descended, with fully armed soldiers inside awaiting orders to launch.
"It's not over yet."
In the manor's underground, the bishop of the Church of Fortune, through the surveillance system he had set up, also saw the arrival of the helicopter and realized that the authorities had finally intervened, and this stronghold would inevitably be abandoned afterward.
The manor was in complete disarray. The giant spider, shattered by machine gun fire, seemed not quite dead yet, but it could no longer get up. A toppled demon sculpture suddenly lit up.
Then, one by one, the believers got up from the corner, swayed, and began to pounce on the dumbfounded women.
"careful!"
"Shoot!"
"But...but...those are all ordinary people who were deceived!"
Kiba Mikoto couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment as she looked at Takagi Saya, who had decisively raised her submachine gun.
"No, they are not anymore!"
Saya Takagi keenly realized that these believers were no longer alive, but the kind-hearted Mikoto Kiba was unable to accept it for the time being.
"Get out first!"
At this moment, Tomoko Sagiri spoke up, "Those believers... have been brought under control. Let's leave."
With a kick, one of the believers was sent flying. Then, the women each knocked down the believers who pounced on them. They were about to slowly retreat when another strange howling sound rang out.
"what!"
Shu Xiaoye sensed something was wrong and raised her machine gun to fire into the air, but all she heard was a sharp hissing sound; she couldn't see anything.
"It's...an evil spirit?!"
Kaname Saya couldn't see it, but Takagi Saya could. For some reason, a group of hideous demons appeared in the night, their appearance exactly the same as the demon sculptures that stood in the manor.
"Ordinary people can't see those evil spirits!"
Hearing Takagi Saya's explanation, the others were somewhat alarmed. Even the giant spider from before could be blasted to death with heavy firepower, but how could these unseen evil spirits be eliminated?
Dudu~
"Why is there a traffic jam again? The department head really should request a helicopter."
Sakuraba Kazuki couldn't help but complain, "But the Ministry of Defense's countermeasures office has already been dispatched, so why do we need to go and provide support as well?"
"The chief said that the intensity of the psionic reaction during this reconnaissance was very high, and the special operations team of the Ministry of Defense's Countermeasures Office may not be able to take it down."
"Izuna Noriyuki said calmly from the back row. After speaking, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Isayama Yomi next to him. As the strongest member of the disciplinary team and his fiancée, Izuna Noriyuki still couldn't find the right way to communicate with her."
The relationship is one of female dominance and male subservience, arranged by the family and filled with the pursuit of fame and fortune. However, Noriyuki Iizuna is also somewhat proud and unwilling to lower himself, so he can only respond with indifference.
As for Yomi Isayama, she simply didn't want to put her father in a difficult position; aside from that, she didn't have any good feelings towards Noriyuki Iitsuna.
Saeko Busujima sat quietly beside Yomi Isayama, like an observer detached from the world.
The battle in the manor is not over.
The unseen demons and the controlled believers forced the originally confident Black Label girls to temporarily withdraw. Sword Light Princess, who was responsible for sniping and observation in the distance, reported the arrival of the army.
"It's you guys again?!"
Officer Tatara seemed quite annoyed. The women in black had carried out so many missions that they would naturally leave traces. As a veteran police officer, Officer Tatara was quite dissatisfied with these self-proclaimed righteous people.
However, now is not the time for infighting and internal strife.
Just as Officer Tatara was about to step forward with his gun, he heard a sharp shriek. Instinctively sensing something was wrong, he scrambled to avoid an invisible attack.
Bang~bang~
Two shots were fired but missed. At that moment, Officer Tatara realized that it seemed to be more than just a matter for criminals.
