Chapter 3 Different Paths to the End

Komaba Rid is fighting the enemy.

In order to cover the retreat of his companions, he had to face the woman in front of him in a pale yellow coat.

Maino Shenli, the NO4 of the school city, has the ability to collapse atoms, and can manipulate free electrons that are not attached to atoms, so that they are in an "ambiguous state" between "waves" and "particles", and use this to emit electron rays as a means of attack, and are officially classified as "granulator waveform high-speed guns".

Streams of incandescent light emanated from her fingertips like lasers. And looking at her freehand expression, it is obvious that she is not even 50% serious.

"Troublesome woman."

Komaba Raider smacked his tongue as he kicked the dilapidated car parked on the side of the road backwards in the gap between the escapes.

"Phew!" With a violent kick like a whip, the car flew towards Mai Ye Shen Li. It's not an offense, it's just to delay the opponent's action.

Several volleys of light pierced the car, then caused a small explosion.

In the smoke and dust, a hazy figure became clearer:

"Oh? Is this super athletic ability a 'clockwork bandage'? ”

Mai Ye frowned and stepped out of the smoke of the explosion.

(I've been on the run...... What a waste of time, ITEM hasn't been idle to this extent...... Those two people, can't they move faster? οΌ‰

This operation was not ITEM's mission, but for one of ITEM's members, the blonde high school girl Flanda. Seyvin. FOR SOME REASON, SHE FELL INTO THE HANDS OF SKILLOUT.

Originally, Mai Ye Shenli wouldn't care about this kind of thing.,It's Flanda's own decision to run out to earn extra money during the break.,If you miss, there's no reason to let ITEM rescue her.,If you can't come back beyond the time.,It's okay to add a new person.。

However, the other two members of the ITEM, Takiju Lihou and Silk Flag's favorite, both express their desire to rescue Flanda.

Well, okay! After all, after working together for a long time, there is still a little bit of affection, and there is really no task today...... Think of it as an exercise after a meal.

The problem is that the members of SKILLOUT don't directly fight the fourth-ranked monster head-on, but instead use sneak attacks and traps to deal with Maino in the winding alleys.

It's like a catfish in a muddy pond that kicks up the sludge at the bottom of the pond to deal with predators. Such actions also show how skilled they are at "fighting powerful people".

Mai Ye's heart seemed to be blocked by something, and the unpleasant feeling gradually piled up to a critical point.

The orangutan guy in front of him was indeed a threat, this rabble of incapable people could deal with him for so long under his command, and as the leader himself, his combat effectiveness was also very impressive.

But I don't know why I have been avoiding confrontation with myself, is it trying to numb myself?

Mai Ye grinned from the corner of his mouth.

At the entrance of the abandoned building at the end of the alley ahead, a young girl who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old and wore a fluffy white dress came out.

"Did the Silk Banner finally find Flanda, it's really slow enough......"

The galloping Komaba Raider did not stop because of the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, but accelerated again with the momentum of stepping through the concrete floor.

The speed that has far exceeded the scope of human beings, coupled with his giant orangutan-like stature, gives people the feeling of a speeding heavy truck, if he is in front of him, it must be more than just being knocked off, I am afraid that the whole body will be crushed and fractured in an instant due to the huge impact force, right?

Facing the giant man who rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye, the quiet and weak Silk Banner liked to lean forward without hesitation, and at the same time stretched out his hands forward, it seemed that he was planning to block the opponent's high-speed impact in such a forceful way.

Komaba Leader lowered his right shoulder expressionlessly, like a rugby player sprinting to protect the ball, but whether it is momentum or impact, it is better to describe it as a moving locomotive.

"Bang! ——”

Visible air shocks erupted and spread between the two men who collided, humming even the glass of the surrounding buildings.

Even the Nitro Armor of the Silk Banner's favorite LV4 still couldn't completely defuse such a huge impact. So the silk flag likes to keep leaning forward to block the other party's posture, but two marks slipped under his feet, and his body was constantly pushed backwards, as if even the soles of his shoes were about to be worn out.

"Bang!"

Komaba Ride only paused for a moment after hitting the Silk Banner favorite, and then continued to advance, and together with the girl who was struggling to stop him in front of her, knocked a large hole in the wall of the dilapidated building behind her, and then the two of them disappeared into the field of vision of Mai Ye Shen Li.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Really, two guys, are they stupid? ”

Mai Ye sighed unbearably, but he still had no choice but to step into the temporary entrance made by Komaba Rid.

There was a stale smell from the abandoned building, which looked like a factory, and the surrounding glass was barely intact, and the thick dust on the floor was floating in the air from the rough intruders. The light is very dim, and from the inside of the building, the entrance that Komaba Rido crashes into is the largest source of light, which makes the world of sunlight outside and the dark interior of the building look like a space of different dimensions.

The space of the building feels too wide compared to the people standing inside. Maybe it used to be a workshop for production.,So the ceiling inside the building is as high as the exhibition hall.,In the huge space.,There are some rusty containers scattered on the ground.,You can vaguely see the logo of the seventh school district of the school park city on it.。

In such a wide space, the quiet-looking Silk Banner is fighting hand-to-hand with the orangutan-like strong man Komaba Ride.

Or rather, the silk flag is on the defensive.

Although he was as strong as a foreign mercenary who had traveled all over the Middle East, Komaba Ride's movements were unusually agile, and it was a little difficult for his eyes to keep up with his movements.

However, Silk Banner loves to be LV4 and is one of the survivors of the "Dark May Project", so he is still comfortable dealing with this kind of attack. By referring to the calculation model prevailing on the NO1 side of the school city, the "reality that belongs only to oneself" is optimized, and nitrogen is compressed at a distance of 4 to 5 cm on the skin, so that it has high density and high defense, so it can make unreasonable actions such as lifting a car and catching a bullet. However, it is often used to create a defense field around the self and then expand automatically.

Although the action can't keep up with Komaba Lide, the silk flag favorite is not left behind at all.

The high-speed movement attacks were unable to penetrate Silken's favorite nitrogen armor, and Silken's favorite counterattacks from time to time forced Komaba Rider to make evasive moves.

Komaba Ride holds up a rusty container with both hands, and then struggles to throw it at the silk flag favorite.

This action makes people feel more like "Tarzan of the Apes" or something......

Despite the nitrogen armor, the Silk Banner favorite dodged to the side. For such a huge object, nitrogen armor is really limited in what it can do.

"Isn't it over yet?"

A voice sounded softly behind Mai Ye.

Mai Ye tilted his head slightly, and then he saw the detached girl Takiju Lihou and the blonde girl Flanda who was on her shoulders - it seemed that she had taken some kind of medicine, she was in a coma, and her body was also injured, although the wound had been bandaged, but from the point of view of the technique, it was really amateurish.

"Well, that's pretty much it, now that Flanda has been recycled, there's no need to stay any longer...... To be honest, these incompetent people really make me anxious. ”

Mai Ye looked like he had a headache, and he held up his right hand and rubbed his temple with his index finger,

"IF YOU REALLY WANT TO UPROOT THESE GUYS, JUST LET THE LOWER PERSONNEL COME, THE ADVANTAGE IN PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT IS ENOUGH TO WIPE OUT THE NEARBY SKILLOUT ......"

"I won't let you do that."

Leader of the orangutan Pony Field, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Komaba Ride silently glanced at the blonde girl who was on Taki's back.

In order not to stop the "attack on the incapable", a lot has been paid. For Flanda has also fulfilled her obligations, she stays here at this time, and it can only be said that she is unlucky.

The plans that are about to start will not change, so I can't fall here today.

"Do you really think I'm going to be unprepared to fight you powerhouses?"

As soon as Komaba Ridder finished speaking, a series of explosions suddenly broke out around the building.

Before the members of ITEM could comprehend what was going to happen, the building that had been destroyed at each of the main points completed its collapse and disintegration process in less than ten seconds.

……

"LV5 is nothing more than that, isn't it being played around? Ahahahaha! ”

A blue-faced boy with a nose ring, Mr. Hama, laughed unscrupulously as he steered a stolen commercial vehicle on the main road of the Seventh School District.

"But with so much explosives at once, the plan will be affected."

In the passenger seat, Hanzo, who was wrapped in a bandana, threw his feet on the bridge and threw a control device with buttons up and down.

Orangutan Komaba Ride, who was huddled in the back of the car, was slowly removing the "clockwork bandage" from his body, and no one would want to equip it when it was fine.

"It doesn't matter."

Like a repeater, Komaba Ride spat out the voice of the tablet word by word.

"If it doesn't work, you can use the reserve funds and find some channels to buy it."

I had to do it myself for that goal.

The so-called heroes are actually ordinary people who stand up when someone has to stand up.

Komaba Ride's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his cellphone.

Silently connected the phone, and a panicked voice came from inside:

"Boss! I, the funds we collected were ......"

The voice was interrupted halfway, and then after a murmur, a girl's voice came from there:

"Hey, Komaba Ridder? I'm Mirei Misaka, well, we met not long ago. ”

"Your voice, I remember, is you who gave Flanda to me."

"Now, now that you remember, I won't talk nonsense. I'll take the funds for your activities. ”

"Did you do it when that LV5 came to attack?"

"Of course, I don't want to have too much conflict."

"You've calculated it."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say that...... Besides, I don't agree with the plan to take advantage of the vulnerability of the second level of alert to defeat the communication network, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack the selected abilities, you are just tightening your neck. ”

"It seems that we incapable people have no secrets...... Are you trying to say that we're struggling meaninglessly? ”

That's probably what happened. But whether the approach itself makes sense is another matter. Now I agree with your goals to some extent, but I don't want to add uncertainty to my plans because of your sloppiness. ”

"So do you use your actions to show that you are capable enough to perform more appropriate actions? By the way, it also blocked my plans......"

"Now, that's what it is." The incapacitated were attacked",I've just found out some clues here.,Although it's not clear how to do it.,But it's definitely a little better than rashly pushing the incapable to the opposite side of the school city.。 ”

"Then I'll see. But I won't give up easily, if you don't take action, no matter how long, I'll reraise enough money to start my plan, and if you want to stop me, take concrete action as soon as possible. ”

"I know...... You idiots are always on the same foot...... Well, goodbye. ”

……

In the ward of a hospital in the Seventh School District, Mirei Misaka looked at the mountains of cash, gold nuggets, and credit cards in the name of IT banks piled up on the floor

"Actually... Where the hell did that guy get all that money? ”

grabbed a handful of banknotes on the pile of banknotes, Miyoshi Misaka twisted her fingers and began to count the banknotes wildly:

"Ahahahaha...... With so much, it's possible to count the money and get cramps in your hands! ”

"Sister, please pay attention to your demeanor. Misaka 10031 suddenly felt a little headache. ”

10031, who was sorting out the loot next to him, said expressionlessly:

"And these are all trophies obtained by the Misaka people acting at the same time, and after the discussion of the Misakas, everyone unanimously decided to give this money to the Immortal Soul Chaser."

"Okay, okay, give it to the doctor...... Wait, why leave it to the doctor! ”

The girl, who was immersed in the pleasure of counting bills, suddenly woke up.

"I've been causing a lot of trouble for the doctors, and I'm going to continue to do so in the future, and Misaka thinks it's best to give the money to the doctors, and the doctors will definitely be able to make better use of the money than the doctors. Therefore, according to the majority vote of the minority, the current number of votes against is only my sister, so the opposition is invalid. Misaka calmly told the truth and dismissed his sister's opinion. ”

"How could it be ......?"

For a moment, Misaka seemed to see the banknotes, gold nuggets, and IT cards in front of her all flapping their wings and leaving her.

"If you can't have it, then why get ......"

Misaka Meiling's whole body seemed to be covered with dark lines, and she said to 10031 lifelessly:

"A final request."

As if telling her last words, her right hand put heavily on 10031's shoulder, and then pointed to her cheek with her left hand, and her expression instantly became as if she had a sweet dream:

"At least...... Slap me in the face with all this money! ”
