……

"Ah!"

The terrified scream lasted only a moment before someone covered the shouter's mouth. Bai Cangshu looked indifferently at this group of people, all of whom were stained with more or less blood. Judging by their clothes, this group had likely been living normal lives until recently.

They were all wearing casual clothing that only city dwellers would wear, though it was now tattered and torn.

"Don't scream... The Envoy has descended..."

"He killed the Cult Leader; it must be because the Cult Leader wasn't pious enough. Yes, for the past two days, the Cult Leader kept telling me he wanted to single out the female followers. He wasn't pious, he... he deserved to die!"

A woman with disheveled hair spoke in a sharp, trembling tone. Yet, as she muttered to herself, she seemed to convince herself, and she suddenly kicked the corpse of the fallen Cult Leader several times.

Then, looking at the tall Bai Cangshu, she knelt down piously. She placed her palms upward, knocked her forehead against the ground, and prostrated her entire body on the floor.

Bai Cangshu watched the woman. It was clear she was terrified to death, cursing the dead Cult Leader without a shred of piety.

"You, too, are not pious."

Hum—Pfft!

A golden beam of light pierced through the back of the woman's head, and her body went limp instantly.

This scene made those on the periphery even more terrified, but what Bai Cangshu found intriguing was that no one chose to run.

These people were scared to death, yet for various reasons, they would rather believe that he, this brutal person who had suddenly appeared here, was an envoy sent by that so-called Destroyer of Worlds to cleanse the human world, than flee outside to face that nightmare-like scene.

The corners of Bai Cangshu's mouth curled up. His Heart Net had already perceived the scene outside with perfect clarity. Outside this stadium, it was now likely a scene straight out of the cruelest and most terrifying illustrations in a strange-tales novel.

Dozens of strangely twisted Yokai were feasting on the flesh and blood of those unlucky souls who couldn't hide inside because the stadium gates were locked.

The Reincarnator group, as always, displayed their wanton and reckless side in the mission world. In the original timeline of the Gantz World, the "Hundred Ghost Night Parade" event did indeed exist.

During the Osaka arc of the original work, in order to hunt the first 100-point boss, the 【Nurarihyon】, the protagonist Tokyo Squad was teleported to Osaka to face the enemy known as 【Yokai Alien】 alongside the Osaka Team.

They were a group of aliens who had come to Earth long before the ancient era, and thus left behind many legends in this world.

The Nurarihyon even claimed that in many eras, it had been worshipped by humans as a 【God】.

But compared to the scene of the Hundred Ghost Night Parade in the original work, the outside world could now be called Hell on Earth.

Crack!

A crisp sound of shattering glass rang out. It was likely that this massive stadium had a skylight channel made of special glass above the roof, and that glass had just been smashed.

A massive friction sound began to emerge from above the ventilation ducts.

At this moment, everyone could no longer remain calm and began to flee in a frantic, scattered mess.

They had spent three nightmare-like days in Osaka, where man-eating Yokai were everywhere. The nerves of these people were on the verge of snapping. At the thought that those Yokai were about to rush in and feast, they all scurried about like headless flies.

Bang!

The ventilation duct overhead was finally smashed open.

At this moment, Bai Cangshu's Purge Mission also successfully loaded.

【Purge Mission initiated】

【Mission Description: Please purge Reincarnator uh50522273 within 14 days. You will be able to obtain location information for the Reincarnator squad members, including the target, every hour】

【Reward: Within this world, the Scavenger will receive an additional drop bonus. Killing a Reincarnator in this world will guarantee a Scavenger Scarlet Drop Card】 (Scavenger Scarlet Drop Cards can be used to draw specific targets)

【Scavenger ex051, performing first location information broadcast now】

It was as if a multitude of location data points had appeared in Bai Cangshu's brain in an instant. As long as he focused his mind, he could not only obtain the coordinates but also see the image of the coordinate point as if he were there.

Bai Cangshu was increasingly satisfied with this Scavenger job.

Bang!

A black shadow slammed down in front of Bai Cangshu. It was a large Yokai over ten meters long.

It had the naked upper body of a human woman, while its lower body was a hard, purple-black torso like a centipede.

The vitality of the humans nearby made this Yokai almost unable to control itself. It instantly pounced on Bai Cangshu, who was closest to it, wrapping its centipede-like lower body around Bai Cangshu's body and hugging him from behind with its upper body.

It opened its blood-filled mouth and bit down toward Bai Cangshu's neck.

——

"How could this happen... How could we become aliens..."

Wearing a black Reinforced Suit 【Gantzsuit】, the White Temple Reincarnator 【Qing Yun】 stood in the Osaka Black Ball Squad's room, his heart sinking continuously.

He tried to use Omega's Telepathy to contact the other party, but there was no response.

Just a moment ago, the Osaka Team, which should have finished their mission, was suddenly teleported back to the Black Ball room by Gantz, and a new mission was issued.

【Mission: Kill the Reincarnation Alien】

The mission name almost made Qing Yun's heart stop beating. The powerful members of the Osaka Team did not realize where the problem lay; they were merely checking the target that had appeared on the black ball.

【Reincarnation Alien: Bonnie】

【Characteristics: Fast, agile】

【Point Value: 45】

【Reincarnation Alien: Lancer】

【Characteristics: Flying dragon, calm】

【Point Value: 70】

【Reincarnation Alien: Omega】

【Characteristics: Alert】

【Point Value: 55】

……

Lines of information appeared; the more Qingyun read, the more alarmed he became, and the sound of his heartbeat was so loud that Oka Hachiro, who was standing alone against the wall in the room, cast his gaze toward him.

Qingyun was terrified that his own name would appear among them, but to his relief, it seemed the Black Ball had only marked the most powerful veterans, and his name was not there.

【Reincarnation Alien: Qingdaofu Duke】

【Characteristics: Strong!! Dangerous!】

【Point Value: 100】

…

【Reincarnation Alien: Qingdaofu Tao Baibai】

【Characteristics: Strong!! Extremely dangerous!!】

【Point Value: 100】

"To think there are two 100-point bosses; this 【Reincarnation Alien】 is no simple matter."

Osaka Team Captain Shitaya Nobuo, who had scored 100 points four times, exhaled a puff of smoke and looked toward Oka Hachiro.

Even within their Black Ball Squad, which contained several members who had scored 100 points multiple times, Oka Hachiro was the only one who had ever defeated a 100-point boss alone.

Oka Hachiro did not speak, but he continued to watch Qingyun, which made the others realize something was wrong; Qingyun had displayed extraordinary skills in previous missions.

Qingyun became even more nervous, and just at that moment, their figures began to disappear bit by bit from the top down.

Gantz had initiated the teleportation directly; they would soon be transported right in front of the 【Reincarnation Alien】!

"Ah!"

Just as the Osaka Team finished teleporting, Yamasaki An let out a cry of surprise; the monsters feasting on various human corpses all around instantly sensed the arrival of new humans and lunged at the members of the Osaka Team with strange shrieks.

But the Osaka Team, possessing multiple members who had obtained several 100-point weapons, reacted instantly; the dark-skinned, bald Shimaki drew his Nano Combat Blade and slashed the lunging monsters to death in an instant.

Turning to look, Oka Hachiro had already turned invisible and vanished.

"Hey, hey, did this just teleport us directly into the monsters' nest?"

Hum~ Bang!

In the sky, a gravity field crashed down with a boom, and several monsters instantly turned into a puddle of blood.

As a 100-point weapon of the Black Ball, the gravity gun was terrifyingly powerful; the Osaka Team fired several gravity guns in succession, quickly clearing a large area.

Taking advantage of this time, Qingyun took an Electronic Communicator from his Backpack, hung it on his ear, and immediately contacted his teammate.

"Captain, what on earth is happening? How did we become the target of the Black Ball Squad?!"

Lancer did not speak; only muffled groans and terrifying dragon roars could be heard, and then the voice of 【Omega】 appeared.

"Little Qingyun, run away; we've likely gotten into big trouble. It's not just that the space has dispatched Scavengers, the Multi-faceted Alien probably wants to capture us too..."

Omega fully realized what had happened; it was the Multi-faceted Alien, the Multi-faceted Alien had realized the existence of 【Reincarnator】s.

No, going further, the Multi-faceted Alien had realized the existence of the 【Infinite Dimensional Space】 and even other worlds.

Therefore, only 【Ghost Talent】 could enter the 【Truth House】; it wasn't that 【Ghost Talent】 had found the Multi-faceted Alien, but that the Multi-faceted Alien had set its sights on 【Ghost Talent】!

The Multi-faceted Alien was a race that could truly be called 【God】 in this world, with a civilization that had developed to an unimaginable degree.

Technologies like Gantz were merely the minimum level of technology passed down by the Multi-faceted Alien to humans on Earth to resist the Four-eyed Alien.

The Multi-faceted Alien could not only use 【Information】 to create or destroy life with a single thought, but could also perform 【Observation】 on future timelines, observe the reincarnation of so-called souls, and know when and where the other party would be born.

Omega trembled at his own conjecture; cold sweat poured down him, and he felt it was no wonder the space hadn't directly erased 【Ghost Talent】, but instead forced them to carry out a Purge Mission.

After his own squad failed to do so, the space had even directly initiated a Purge Mission, dropping in Reincarnator Scavengers.

He realized that it was likely because his squad and the 74960 Squad had gone too far in this world that the Multi-faceted Alien had noticed this anomaly and ultimately captured the existence of the Reincarnators.

Hearing Omega's analysis, Qingyun was completely panicked; this level of trouble was simply not something their ordinary Reincarnator squad could face.

"I've found the location of the Reincarnation Alien!"

At this moment, Kuwabara Kazuo, who was always shirtless due to his intense sexual hunger, shouted out.

The few of them immediately moved toward the gymnasium, which was covered in bloodstains on its outer walls.

Hanaki Kyo, sitting on a 【Gantzbike】 (a single-wheeled motorcycle), used the computer connected to the bike, combined with the bike's screen which possessed X-ray vision, to scan the gymnasium and discovered the tracks of the Reincarnation Alien inside.

He pressed the analysis key, and then the target's information appeared on the computer.

【Reincarnation Alien: Qingdaofu Tao Baibai, Point Value: 100】

Hanaki Kyo hadn't expected to find a full-point boss right off the bat.

"Great, it's that full-point boss, Tao Baibai!"

Qingyun's expression stiffened, and his Footwork faltered instantly; he looked at the few people who had already walked to the entrance of the gymnasium and said,

"I won't fight you for this boss; I'll go look for other... Reincarnation Aliens first."

Qingyun's behavior immediately made the others feel he was even more suspicious, and Shimaki even blocked his path with his blade.

"You seem to be hiding something, Qingyun..."

Swoosh~

A sound of breaking air rang out; Shimaki reacted instantly, turning around only to see a fair, tender body colliding with him, and he instinctively raised his hands to catch it.

Boom!

A terrifying force erupted in an instant, and Shimaki, along with that fair and plump body, was sent flying dozens of meters off the ground, crashing heavily into the street.

This scene stunned everyone else; turning their heads back, they saw that the gymnasium gate had been shattered by the "female corpse" that had just flown over.

A human dragging the giant severed limb of a monster walked out of the gymnasium, chewing on something in his mouth, which he finally spat out.

"There really wasn't any meat on it at all, Centipede Monster Woman."

Bai Cangshu had not expected that the first monster he cooked would be so unsuccessful; in order to quickly gain 50 points of Constitution, he had already prepared to boil and eat every monster he could find in this world.

As his gaze shifted, he saw that fellow turning to leave; the space seemed to be intentionally prompting him, as the words for the Purge Mission began to Flash continuously.

Qingyun froze in place, icy killing intent shrouding him; his expression was pale, even though he was wearing a Gantz suit, a basic Reinforced Suit that could allow an ordinary person to exert nearly 10 times their limit, making it an absolute artifact for novices.

Yet, wearing this thing, he still felt as if he were being stared at by a Ghost when facing Tao Baibai, his whole body turning cold.

Hum!

Because Shimaki had been smashed away in a single blow, Shitaya Nobuo also realized the formidable power of this 100-point boss; he suddenly raised his gravity gun and instantly locked onto Bai Cangshu to fire.

Watching the target standing there without any reaction, Shitaya Nobuo felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

A weapon like the gravity gun was something a mortal body could hardly withstand; even reinforced concrete would be crushed into a depression by the gravity field.

As long as it was still a body of flesh and blood, it would definitely be able to...

Boom!

The gravity field descended, and a huge pit several meters in radius appeared in an instant; Shitaya Nobuo felt a surge of joy—was he smashed to pieces?!

The next moment, a hand appeared behind his head as if out of thin air.

Tap.

Bai Cangshu seemed to have tapped him lightly.

Afterward, he continued walking toward that Reincarnator.

Hanaki Kyo, who had also raised his firearm to aim at Bai Cangshu, froze in place, looking at Shitaya Nobuo in disbelief.

"Hey, your Reinforced Suit..."

The Reinforced Suit, which could easily block gunfire, was now beginning to leak blue liquid; that was the sign that the combat suit was completely destroyed.

Shitaya Nobuo swayed as he turned his head, dark purple blood flowing from his eyes, nostrils, and ears; he staggered two steps, collapsed listlessly, and ceased to breathe.

"Dead?!"

"He died just from being tapped lightly while wearing a Reinforced Suit?!"

Hanaki Kyo could not believe his eyes.

Terrifying, this 100-point boss, Tao Baibai, is terrifying to the extreme!
