Kuroko Shirai's ability is "spatial movement".

However, this ability is not freewheeling.

The maximum mass of a moving object is 130.7 kilograms, and regardless of its mass, it cannot travel a distance of 81.5 meters.

What's more, you can only move "things you touch", so you can't move distant objects to your hand.

But on the other hand, it is not at all difficult to move the source of power, that is, "one's own body".

The sound of tearing through the air intermittently resounded.

Every time Shirai Kuroko moves a distance of 80 meters, he designates the next 80-meter target point, which seems to others to suddenly appear at one point and disappear, and then Yoshiki appears at the next point, which is of course much faster than running on two feet, which translates to about 288 kilometers per hour.

[Fortunately, the space movement is point-to-point rather than straight-line, so there is no inertial force, otherwise, if the skirt floats up due to air resistance, it will be too big.] 】

Shirai thought so in her mind, and moved the space, the sidewalk, the handrail, and the top of the vending machine became her pedals.

Although such a move caused exclamations from the surrounding crowd, after all, everyone is a superpower, not to mention that Shirai is still wearing the uniform of Tokiwadai Middle School and has the armband of the Discipline Committee member pinned to his arm, so it didn't cause much commotion.

The robbers run in the underground mall, but Shirai moves on the surface, because the exit of the underground mall is limited, and as long as you know the location of the exit, you are not afraid of the target escaping.

Moreover, if the robbers are chased from behind, it may cause psychological pressure on the robbers, causing them to act in a way that endangers ordinary passers-by in the underground street (although it is not known whether the robbers are armed or not, even if they are empty-handed, after all, there are ten people, which is still quite a threat to the general public).

Generally speaking, due to the limited exit of the underground mall, it will be difficult for the general public to escape in the event of a commotion, so the underground mall is a place where caution is more required on this surface.

To apprehend a robber, it is necessary to choose a place where there is no general public as much as possible, and preferably on the surface.

It would be perfect if it could be processed cleanly in a short period of time.

At this time, the phone rang.

Shirai picked up his phone, but didn't stop moving in space. The sound heard was intermittent due to the effect of Shirai jumping up and down in space in an instant, and the position of the radio waves constantly changing.

"Shirai-san, find the gangster...... whereabouts...... Exit A03 from the underground shopping mall [Elijah...... Leave the underground mall...... It's as if they come out of the end of the underground mall and run to another underground mall......"

Kuroko Shirai replied with only one sentence: "I have seen it." ”

Then he hung up his phone and put it in his pocket.

Near a building that resembles a subway outlet, a group of figures passed through the cracks in the crowded crowd of cars, these men in suits made their way quickly to the sound of car horns, one of them dragged a white suitcase, perhaps because he didn't want to be overly quiet, and their attitude was rather low-key, and after crossing the main road, they ran into a small alleyway.

Shirai clenched the shriveled bag in her hand, and she kicked the ground.

In an instant, she was already in the alleyway, and she was standing in the middle of about a dozen men, Shirai and the man dragging the suitcase met their eyes, and smiled slightly, before the man had time to show a stunned expression, Shirai's fingers had already caught the suitcase.

Space moves.

Shirai's figure disappeared again, and then appeared in front of the men, covering the way, and the suitcase that accompanied her to move in space was right next to her.

Bai Jing crossed his waist with one hand, touched the suitcase resting on the ground with the other, and said, "Excuse me, I'm a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, why am I here, I believe there shouldn't be an explanation, right?" ”

At first glance, it sounds like an inquiry, but in fact, the tone is full of mockery.

The men reacted very quickly, and at the same time they reached into their suits and pulled out black pistols of the same style, which gave a very heavy feeling.

[Tsk, it's really not a simple robber! ] Are you making a cop movie now? 】

Shirai hurriedly squatted down and hid behind the suitcase to draw, but the men seemed to be quite confident in their marksmanship, and they did not hesitate at all to pull the trigger, the target should be the body part that was not blocked by the suitcase, and Shirai's throat made a slight unnatural sound. Her spatial mobility ability does not have the ability to accurately remove bullets one by one.

Ten pistols fired together.

But before that, Shirai had already performed spatial movement, and the target location was behind the man standing at the back.

Kuroko Shirai vanished into thin air along with her suitcase, leaving her shriveled bag alone in the air, and then it fell to the ground.

The men were all confused when they saw the enemy disappear, and Shirai took advantage of this opportunity to grab the huge suitcase with both hands and slam it the back of the man at the back.

"Uh-huh......!"

The man standing at the back let out a scream, causing all the robbers to turn their heads together.

Shirai touched one of them at this time, and once again cast a spatial movement, and the man was immediately moved, but the distance was only a few centimeters, and the direction of his body turned one hundred and eighty degrees.

The eight men turned, but the man who was moved stood face to face with them, pointing their guns at each other's companions as if they were in a hurry.

"Ahh

The man who had been reversed hurriedly raised his gun upwards, and Shirai took the opportunity to kick him in the back, and the robbers fell to the ground one by one like dominoes, and Shirai struggled to lift the suitcase and swung it at the wrists of the men's guns.

Short screams continued to sound, and each man's body was tripped by his companion and could not escape, and he did not dare to shoot, for fear of hitting his companion, and finally, this group of men with killing tools were knocked unconscious one after another under the powerlessness to resist.

"It's so easy to deal with, but it's unsettling." Shirai said sarcastically, but no one could answer.

Shirai kicked the robbers lightly on his toes to make sure they were still conscious, and then took out the non-metallic handcuffs used by the Discipline Inspector and handcuffed them, and when the handcuffs reached the fourth person, the handcuffs ran out, so they had to use the discarded cables on the ground nearby to make an emergency, and the men did not wake up despite the pressure on their wrists.

After contacting the guards on his mobile phone, Shirai looked at their equipment.

I can't see the name and model of the pistol.,But it's completely different from the gun used in the training of the Discipline Inspection Commission.,The pistols developed in the school city are not made of metal.,So it's quite light.,And their guns are as heavy as a piece of steel.,Some numbers and English letters are engraved on the side.,Shirai guesses that maybe it's the official model of the gun.,But there's really no clue beyond that.。

After all, Shirai is not a guard who is good at firearms combat, and she usually relies on superpowers to fight, so she has no expertise in weapons and equipment at all.

In addition, after searching the back of these men in suits, he didn't find any ID cards or other documents, maybe he took them off on purpose, Shirai looked at the face of the man on the ground, and couldn't help but smack his mouth.

“…… Gold teeth? ”

A man who was unconscious with his mouth open caught Shirai's attention, and the school city has developed a lot of excellent new materials, so now there is no one in the city with gold teeth.

Take out the mobile phone in their pants pocket and look at it.,The phone book is empty.,And the model is old.,It really doesn't look like something sold in the school city.。

The technology in the school city is said to have advanced in the outside world for twenty or thirty years, and in addition to electronic products, some small accessories that are not related to the latest technology at first glance can also see the difference.

[Judging from the posture of holding a gun, it seems that I have some training, but I have no idea about my superpowers, and it feels like the first time I have encountered a superpower...... It seems that they are supposed to be experts in the "outside world", so they are rather new to superpowers. 】

“……”

A suitcase that the "outsider" has gone to great lengths to infiltrate and capture.

Shirai looked at "that thing" in his hand again.

The suitcase is very large, the same as a normal suitcase, the shape is rectangular, it seems to fit enough to hug your knees, and the color is white, it seems to be made of a special material, and the surface is like a layer of wax to shine.

She reached for the ring of her suitcase.

"Sure enough...... It's locked. ”

But if you look closely, you can see that the lock on the top is very delicately made, in addition to two traditional locks and an electronic lock, there is also a magnetic town that claims to have infinite combinations.

"It's a pity that in my hands, these locks don't make sense at all."

Shirai has the ability to move in space, and since she can only move objects she touches, she can't move the contents of the box, but she can only remove the outer box to achieve the same effect.

If it is a huge "suitcase" such as a large bank vault, of course, it cannot be moved, but a mere suitcase is not a problem.

Shirai calmly placed his right hand on the suitcase and stroked the surface with his fingertips.

[Huh? 】

At this time, Shirai noticed something.

This suitcase is completely seamless. It seems to have been waterproofed, and there are rubber seals and the like stuffed everywhere, blocking all the gaps.

[Could it be...... What's inside is as sensitive as a negative? Could it be...... It's a fragile thing, right? It's terrible, I'm using it to knock those men out. 】

Shirai thought about it for a moment and casually came to a conclusion.

[Before asking a colleague with clairvoyance or mind-reading ability to confirm the contents, don't open it casually.] 】

Shirai took a closer look at the suitcase, and deeply felt the impermeability of this thing, and by chance, he saw something like adhesive tape, which was attached to the side of the suitcase like a seal that was forbidden to be opened.

The content on the delivery slip is the same as what the early spring show showed me.

Authenticity can only be judged by machine inspection, but at least there is nothing suspicious about it with the naked eye.

[What is this sign ......?] 】

Kuroko Shirai stroked the surface of the suitcase again.

In addition to the delivery slip, there is also a logo engraved on the surface of the box, like a seal, with a round frame, and the pattern inside is made of several squares overlapped, the appearance is quite simple, it seems that I have seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember it.

“…… When you encounter something you don't understand, asking someone is the fastest way. ”

Shirai didn't bother to think about it, so he took out the mobile phone from the pocket of his skirt, pulled out the ultra-thin body of the mobile phone from the side of the small cylinder like pulling out a painting scroll, and took a photo of the entire suitcase, the delivery slip and the logo with a photographic lens, attached the words "request for investigation", and sent it to Hatsuharu.

After waiting for 120 seconds, the phone responded.

As soon as the first note of the caller music sounded, Shirai pressed the call button.

"Shirai-san, I'm Hatsuchun, I've completed the task, please allow me to report the results and ask for a reward."

"Reporting of results is allowed, and reward requests are dismissed."

Shirai said casually, but in his heart he was amazed by Hatsuharu's ability to investigate, although Hatsuharu had access to the library, but the speed of this search was too amazing.

"The request cannot be dismissed! Well, anyway, report the results first. Shirai-san, that suitcase is simply a special case with a high degree of airtightness that can isolate all kinds of cosmic rays. Do you think its surface is oily and shiny? ”

That is indeed the case. Shirai looked at the surface of the suitcase. It's like a layer of wax, so smooth that it can illuminate Shirai's face.

"You can think of it as a deluxe version of the surface material of a spacesuit or a space shuttle. Such technology,It's obvious that it's made in the school city.。 ”

"But...... Why do you need to add a cosmic ray barrier to the box? ”

"Of course, the purpose is to isolate cosmic rays, and it doesn't make much sense to do this on Earth, unless it's to deal with the recent hole in the ozone layer."

[So...... This thing is used outside the atmosphere...... Or even ...... in space activities? 】

This unexpected information surprised Shirai.

"Next is the sending order, and before that...... Shirai-san, if there is something I would like to ask you to do me a favor again, please switch your phone to RW.S mode and take a picture of the sending slip again, there should be a red box in the right corner of the send slip, centered there. ”

"What is the RW.S pattern?"

"A mode to read the current information of the IC chip! As a member of the Discipline Commission, everyone is obliged to carry this kind of mobile phone! Didn't I add an expansion chip to your phone before? You haven't even read the instructions? ”

"The operation method of the mobile phone is similar, so I am too lazy to read the details of the manual......"

"Really! In short, please open the main menu first......"

Shirai operated the phone according to Hatsuharu's instructions, and a never-before-seen image appeared on the screen, and he took another shot at Suzumi before sending the photo to Hatsuharu as an additional file.

"Oh, got it, uh...... According to the results of the test...... Sure enough, that's right.,This delivery note itself is indeed a genuine product printed in the school city.。 Hatsuharu's voice turned serious.

"Genuine...... In this way, the recipient address is indeed [School Garden]? ”

"Yes."

When Shirai heard this, he fell into deep thought.

The "Tokiwadai Junior High School Calculation Support Facility" written on the delivery slip does not exist at all.

If the recipient doesn't exist, the act of sending itself is meaningless. In this way, these words may be just some kind of code.

The information inside the IC chip has also been deciphered, and it is a supplementary explanation of the simple barcode message printed on the delivery slip. Including the body type of the space shuttle and the operation schedule number outside the atmosphere,It's true that it's the internal number of the school city.,It's also consistent with the record of the 23rd school district.,It seems that the smell of danger is getting stronger and stronger.。 ”

"Twenty-third School District...... Is it a school district that only has airports, launch pads, and related facilities, and is forbidden to ordinary students for the purpose of aviation and space development? ”

"Isn't there a sign on the suitcase? That's right, it's the sign of the 23rd school district, which is the school's emblem. ”

When Shirai heard this, he couldn't help but smack his mouth.

"The sender is also from the 23rd School District. The level of secrecy is high, so the name of the facility is not clearly labeled. ”

Shirai looked at the delivery slip again.

The date coincides with the time when the space shuttle from Gakuen City returned to the surface.

The sender is from the 23rd School District, which is a school district for aviation and aerospace purposes, and only has an airport and launch pad.

[Who does the 23rd School District want to send this suitcase to...... Who are these people who are trying to rob ......? 】

After thinking about it for a while, Shirai decided to thank Hatsuharu first.

"Thank you. On the way to deliver the suitcases and these men, I thought about it again. ”

"Ahh I just said it, I want a reward! For example, the ladies' afternoon tea party held by the real daughter! You can't just drink black tea, but also show the posture and atmosphere of a noblewoman! ”

Hatsuharu hurriedly said, but Shirai cut off the call without paying attention.

Watching the ultra-thin body of the phone being rolled into the side of the cylinder like a scroll, and then tucking the phone into the pocket of the skirt, my mind continued to think.

However, Shirai had no knowledge or information about space development.

Recently, I read the news in the "universe",Thinking about it, it's just that the school city and organizations around the world.,It's just the fact that rockets or space shuttles have been launched one after another.。

"Put these two things together...... Seems a bit far-fetched...... But...... Alas, in any case, there is no way to draw conclusions until we know what is inside. ”

Shirai sighed and sat down on the suitcase.

"Anyway, what's going on is beyond my responsibility, so I don't have to think about it that much."

After casually coming to such a conclusion, Shirai obediently waited for the guards to arrive, perhaps due to the influence of the traffic jam, and the guards did not appear for a long time.

At this moment, Shirai's mobile phone suddenly rang again.
