Infinite Battle Royale / A Carnival of Cosplaying Demons

"Save a seat for my daughter. If Angela finds out you're going out without her, she'll be sulking for a long time."

Faced with Dr. Charles's less-than-friendly instructions, Kevin obediently agreed.

As long as it's not a matter of right or wrong, he's certainly willing to lower his stance in front of these elders who genuinely care about him.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Kevin left satisfied, carrying a bag of things.

Asking me, a PhD in biology and virology, to tinker with some weird hair dye in the lab is just... unbelievable.

Dr. Charles, feeling that his talents were being wasted, was somewhat resentful.

However, this stubborn scholar did not leave from the front door.

Only when a certain figure appeared did he frown and sigh helplessly.

Do you really have to try it?

The visitor nodded solemnly, without the slightest hesitation or retreat.

"Of course, I know there are risks, but in this line of work, if you have a 50% chance of success, you should take the gamble..."

"On the contrary, a 100% probability often indicates a trap..."

"Besides, didn't you test positive? I have good T-Virus resistance..."

Please, you must grant my request!

Dr. Charles's face darkened, and he waved his hand impatiently.

"Fine, fine! If they want to die, no one can stop them. They're all causing us trouble..."

"After your vacation in Tokyo, I'll allow you to join Project Eden..."

Emerging from the darkness, policewoman Jill nodded slightly, her steps becoming lighter, as if she were catching up with someone ahead of her.

I don't know what kind of spell that little bastard cast on you, but you're willing to risk your life just to keep up with him!

Pah! Shameless bastard!

While Dr. Charles was worried about Jill's resolute decision, he suddenly remembered the young man who had ulterior motives towards his daughter, and he immediately became furious, spitting and cursing into the darkness in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, at the training ground.

Following the commander, everyone entered a small workshop with complete equipment. Toda Hirano, whose eyes were bloodshot, was not only excited, but his eyes were also shining with a warm light.

"Everyone, please change into the equipment in the corresponding boxes, and then have your makeup done by Teacher Juchuan. Finally, you will be evaluated by Hirano. Only then will you be eligible to participate in the vacation..."

As a military group that obeys orders, these people, despite their doubts, resolutely carried out Kevin's requirements.

In just 10 minutes, a group of people dressed in bizarre and unusual outfits made their appearance one by one.

With his silver-white hair, red coat, twin pistols (one black and one white), and a greatsword on his back, Demon Hunter Dante Devil May Cry...

Clad in silver-white armor, wielding a standard-issue submachine gun, and sporting a flashlight-shaped lightsaber, he's a famous cannon fodder from Star Wars — Imperial Stormtrooper...

Standing approximately 7 feet tall, clad in Thor's Hammer -powered assault armor tinged with a slightly golden-green hue, the Spartan Warrior are a heroic unit from Halo...

A medieval assassination squad from Assassin's Creed — the Peerless Assassin Squad —clad in white robes, hooded, and equipped with bracers, hidden blades, and crossbows...

In addition, there's the Baldy Kui (Barry) with his rugged red and white stripes, muscular build, and wielding a battle axe; and the little girl (Angela) in tattered clothes, holding a match...

"Captain, where are we going?"

Dante scratched his silver-white parted hair, feeling a little uneasy as he thought of the special care the commander had given him yesterday.

At this moment, Kevin, wearing the Thor's Hammer VI powered assault armor and holding an MA5B assault rifle, opened his protective mask, suppressed a laugh, and responded seriously and earnestly.

"Of course, we're going to the Tokyo Anime Expo, everyone..."

"And remember to call me Master Chief when you get there!"

P. S.: Hardcore cosplay, isn't this move flashy enough?

Chapter 149, Section 158: Infinite Brawl

Tokyo Airport, dedicated lane.

"Um... you guys..."

The policewoman in charge of picking them up at the Miyu Kirishima, and her old friends stared wide-eyed at the group of strangely dressed people in front of them, their lips unconsciously curling into a smirk.

"Toda! You've finally arrived!"

The clumsy policewoman Asami Hiraoka, popped out from behind her senior and excitedly grabbed the hand of the otaku Toda Hirano.

Amidst the teasing glances of the crowd and Kevin's considerate permission to leave, the blushing couple whispered to each other and departed first.

"Although you registered as a cosplay tour group, judging from the shine, most of these things are probably real, right?"

Miyu Kirishima rubbed her temples, feeling a severe headache.

"It's for high accuracy, and... it looks cool!"

Kevin patted his genuine Tactical Exoskeleton, and the built-in loudspeaker emitted a teasing reprimand from the "Master Chief."

In my past life, I had no money or opportunities. Now that I'm living my life again, it's time to live life to the fullest.

Who doesn't have a few hobbies and a little vanity, especially men...

"Fine, fine, whatever you want, just don't cause trouble!"

At this point, Miyu Kirishima recalled the tragic state of Toko City, and her words carried a hint of warning.

However, given their life-or-death friendship and the fact that it was during their leisure time, this usually meticulous and rigid beauty finally shed some of her "senior" airs.

Afterwards, as she left the airport with the group, Miyu Kirishima gave them a brief overview of the Tokyo Anime Expo.

"This year's Tokyo Anime Expo lasts for five days. The first two days are open to industry companies for business negotiations and talent recruitment. Many companies in the anime, game, and light novel industries will take this opportunity to promote themselves."

"From tomorrow to the day after, it will be mainly open to the public, making it convenient for tourists to participate in anime exchanges and experience anime culture."

"And on the last day, the popular electronic idol Hatsune Miku will be performing, so it seems there will be a change of address then."

"To prevent any accidents, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will dispatch some officers to conduct routine patrols at the venue. Asami and I will act as plainclothes officers, blending into the crowd in case of any unforeseen circumstances..."

"Be sure to let me know if you need anything!"

For some reason, the tall, aloof policewoman felt uneasy, as if some danger was about to occur, especially after seeing this group of strangely dressed people.

As the group walked from the security exit into the airport terminal, the metallic scraping sound and their synchronized steps immediately attracted the attention of all the passengers.

"Dante! It's Dante, the Devil Hunter!"

"Holy crap, the Empire Cannon Fodder Group!"

"The Thor's Hammer Power Armor looks so realistic! Where did you buy that cosplay outfit?!"

"..."

Amidst the cacophony of voices and the rapid clicking of phones, quite a few daring young women and seasoned otaku even stepped forward to take photos with the group.

Among them, the super popular <Devil May Cry> group is undoubtedly the most popular, and Leon's cosplay of Dante is undoubtedly a natural performance.

Ledy, the demon hunter from the Devil May Cry series, with her brown sunglasses, white top, and shoulder-mounted blade missile launcher, looks extremely fitting with the addition of the gunpowder-scented female soldier Rain.

In addition, this crazy woman was also equipped with a VZ61 Scorpion submachine gun, a Czech CZ75 pistol, and grenades, showing that she was treating the anime convention as a battlefield.

As for Claire, she naturally took on the role of the female devil Trish.

However, while the black corset, leather pants, and high boots complete the look, it lacks a certain aloof and haughty charm.

Finally, Chris, with his silver hair and buzz cut, became the actor who played Virgil, Dante's Virgil. Faced with his sister's situation of being pursued, this villain naturally didn't have a good attitude towards Leon.

In addition, the Empire Cannon Fodder Group, the Peerless Assassin Squad, and the Halo Heroes also had many fans, who each approached the target and took one group photo after another.

Watching the group of "celebrities" struggling to walk through the crowd, Kevin, who had already gotten into his car and was waiting, was overjoyed and almost burst out laughing.

"You're so mean!"

Jill, Alice, and Lara, who had squeezed awkwardly into the back seat, punched Kevin's heavy armor, but they were helpless against this gloating tin Canned Food.

Before their departure, at Kevin's insistence, Jill became a member of the Halo team, Alice remained in her Raccoon City combat attire, and Lara gloriously became an Unrivaled Assassin...

(Angelina Jolie starred in a movie called "Wanted" in real life, which was pretty good. This is more of a tribute and a reference.)

"Since we're here to have fun, let's have some fun..."

"Everyone, head to the hotel near the convention center and check in. We'll be heading to the battlefield tomorrow! Our Earl will cover everything!"

The crowd, who had originally planned to eat and drink for free, cheered and celebrated. Meanwhile, the Crawford family had acquired some properties in Tokyo in order to search for information about Count Richard.

Therefore, the motorcade that came to pick them up was quite luxurious.

The group that followed, engrossed in playing around, even started taking out drinks from the mini-fridge and drinking them.

Kevin served fruit platters to Angela and Yuzuriha Inori beside him, while he removed his mask, sipped his cola, and leaned back on the sofa in deep thought.

"Hey, [Apocalypse], I found some information online that overlaps with many of the games and anime here. How come?"

The guide paused for a moment, then responded calmly.

"Then why didn't you consider that the Japan here shares the same name and territory as the Japan in your memory?"

"Moreover, the histories of the two worlds are largely the same; shouldn't we have some doubts about that?"

Kevin seemed to have figured something out.

"The mutual penetration and influence of global information?"

The blurry figure from [Apocalypse] nodded slightly.

"Pretty much. When the world defines you as Kevin Kaslana, it will naturally also accept some of the information you carry within yourself."

"Some of them could be the cause of the world's destruction, while others merely add some spice to life in this world."

"In other words, your existence can not only cure the Calamity Virus, but may also trigger new Calamity Virus."

"You've made the future even more unpredictable..."

Immediately afterwards, [Apocalypse] shared the information he had obtained after connecting with the World Will with Kevin.

"I've said it before, time here is distorted, and various Calamity Virus are intertwined..."

"This world is like a junkyard containing obsolete evolutionary plans from different levels of Earth's civilization, possessing the quality to attract [the [Calamity Virus]]..."

"Some concepts that exist only in your memory may have matching information entities, such as Biohazard Crisis, Tomb Raider, etc. These often become the source of Calamity Virus..."

"Some things are out of sync with the world's information, and as your connection with this place gradually deepens, they evolve into a cultural industry similar to that of another Earth."

It turns out that I was also one of the causes of the disaster.

Moreover, this seems to be similar to the infinite free-for-all with a modified storyline, and Kevin is somewhat troubled by this result.

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

So, don't eat anything before you have a good appetite, you might end up eating yourself to death...

Hopefully, this vacation won't cause any trouble.

Probably not...

Kevin gazed out the window at the approaching luxury hotel, muttering uncertainly to himself.

P. S.: I had to go out today, so the update is a bit late. Sorry.

Chapter 159, Section 150: A Chaotic Dance of Demons - Cosplay Scene

The next day, at the comic convention.

Although Kevin and his cosplay group received a warm welcome as soon as they got off the car, the bustling venue was already in complete chaos, so the impact was not as great as the airport sensation.

Because everyone had their own interests and preferences, they split up and acted separately.

Jill, Alice, and Lara seem to have reached some kind of secret agreement last night.

Therefore, they actually left together, arm in arm, and also took Angela and Yuzuriha Inori with them, leaving only the "Master Chief" all alone.

Tsk... I've been abandoned...

Kevin was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and walked along, enjoying the scenery.
