Chapter 10: The Battle of the Mist
Kawajin chased the boy who had turned into smoke and spun around the 10th school district.
This is the most chaotic place in the school city, schools, factories, apartments, warehouses, and many complex buildings are haphazardly arranged, and the roads are chaotic because of this, and if you are a first-time visitor, you will undoubtedly get lost.
The complex terrain brings a battle scene that expands the [familiarity] to the extreme, and the vampire boy is very familiar with this place, he can drag his prey into the darkness without knowing it, sucking human blood, and familiarity with the terrain is essential.
And the god of Chuan, who has never been here, can only blindly chase the thin smoke and move all the way.
However, there are many places where smoke can pass through, but humans can't.
For example, pipes.
At this time, Kawajin finally understood why there was ice slag in that pipe.
Probably, after sucking blood, he turned into a mist and left through the pipe.
That's right.,If it's a place like the school city where the monitoring network is particularly strict.,It's also a very suspicious situation when the fog suddenly rises.。 After all, the weather in the entire school city,It's calculated by a supercomputer called [Tree Diagram Designer],That's the weather deduction that can be accurate to the second.。 If there is a foggy day that does not conform to the tree designer, it will definitely be noticed, right?
However, if you take the pipe, you can quietly go to the inside of the building, and then condense the entity in the building, and then go out and it's OK. There are a large number of delinquent teenagers gathered here, and it's not uncommon to use one or two warehouses or something as a secret base, rather, it's quite normal?
It is precisely because of the passage of the pipe that the shady side of the pipe where the heat is absorbed will condense the ice slag in the summer.
Kawajin was stunned, shook his hand and shot out a cloud of air, controlling it to go deep into the pipe to continue chasing the mist, while he continued to chase his ability from the outside.
The chase continues, and the two of them arrive at an abandoned factory, one after the other.
It was originally supposed to be a place for making flour, and there was a large number of machines in it, although it was no longer usable, but the huge, discarded machine tools cut the factory into fragments, and there was very little and very little space for people to move around. And the vampire boy can randomly drill out of the gap in the machine tool to attack him, so to speak, this is very unfavorable terrain.
However, Kawajin still followed.
On the one hand, he has absolute confidence in his own ability.
On the other hand, it is ......
"Show up. Bringing me to this kind of place is to fight me to the death, right? ”
Kawajin said coldly, the empty and complex terrain reflected his voice several times, which was extremely exaggerated, and the layers of sound made his voice come out of multiple layers.
Yes, many intelligent creatures do this, leading the other into a trap and then showing up to harvest their prey.
Kawajin knew he would run away unless, he felt he could deal with himself.
He consciously brought himself here, must have been here to overcome himself.
It's a pity that although the stratagem can make up for the power gap to a certain extent, if the difference in strength between the two is too much, then the stratagem is just an empty word.
But...... The other party just doesn't know this.
In front of the god of Kawajin, the thick mist gradually gathered, and it became the posture of a human being.
Merely...... His face was much more hideous, and his yellow-skinned face had now turned blood-red, like a drunken man, and his veins were floating out of his skin, hideous and terrifying, and his eyes widened as if he had encountered something terrible.
(Is this a reaction to ability?) This is the first time I've heard of this kind of reaction. )
Rao is the god of Sichuan, and he was also frightened by him at first sight.
I judged in my heart: Is it possible, this guy will become thirsty for blood because of the use of his ability, similar to the legendary Dracula-like existence, right?
He quickly dispelled the strange association, gathered his spirit, and looked at the enemy in front of him.
Fortunately, after all, he was just a high school student, and he was replaced by other combat masters, and the other party must have pounced on him after that momentary distraction.
Kawajin carefully wrapped the sturdy nitrogen armor around him to ensure that he was invincible first. Looking at the other side, the vampire boy's expression was obviously a little wrong, and his expression became more and more violent, giving people a sense of crisis.
"Ahhhh Why are you bothering me! ”
The young man let out a terrible wail, and the resentment in that tone was clearly imprinted in the ears of the Sichuan god.
"I didn't kill anyone! I can't help it! Medicine...... If there is medicine......"
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth had begun to leave uncontrollable saliva, what was the saliva of hunger? Or is it a withdrawal reaction?
Kawajin didn't know, and he wasn't interested in knowing, so he continued to raise his vigilance, and with a wave of his hands, two wind pressures swept the dust and flour residues on the ground, turning into visible knives and flying past, and the attack that flew past against the ground was similar to the existence called [Flying Props on the Ground] in a fighting game.
The two wind knives were X-shaped, and they hit the boy's legs quickly and ruthlessly, but they were empty, and the legs seemed to have no substance, and they turned into a cloud of smoke with a roar, and Kawagami's attack pierced through and hit the machine, leaving an X wound in an instant.
The vampire boy's face changed, and he also understood that if it wasn't himself just now, but someone else, he was afraid that his legs would be cut off by him.
The person in front of him, although he doesn't seem to be doing anything right, is actually a ruthless guy.
He'd heard before.,It seems that in the underground society of the school city,There is an organization dedicated to cutting out the unstable elements for the school city council......
The shadows, that's their name.
Could it be that this man is too?
The vicious look in his eyes was even heavier.
In this case, he must not be kept.
He was killed and caught, and he was to blame. Who allowed themselves to be transformed into such a monster?
However, what about the person who kindly adopted him, the childhood sweetheart who claimed to be his girlfriend? Will you let her go?
Or is it ......
The boy didn't dare to continue thinking about it, because he stopped taking a certain kind of [medicine], he was now uncomfortable, tingling, itching, and burning all over his body, but his brain was cold, it was difficult to describe this feeling, stop taking the medicine, his body would definitely become like this.
The more you use this power that doesn't belong to you, the more uncomfortable you become, and only by sucking blood can you make yourself feel comfortable for a short time.
Even if you don't use your ability, it's useless, and you will gradually be unable to restrain your blood-sucking impulse in your daily life.
That's what it is...... The remnants of their own transformation.
As outcasts, their human rights are not guaranteed.
They are experimental subjects with human appearance, no different from ordinary beakers and flasks, or monkey mice.
Although he was tied up and sent to the test bench, although he managed to survive in the end, this ability was incomplete.
Originally, this should have been a tragedy.
However, the people in white were smiling, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.
"Although we failed this time, we were able to achieve the expected data."
"As long as you improve it next time, it's no problem."
Their words made the boy cold.
Anticipate the above......
Improve......
In other words, their own experiments, from the very beginning, they did it with the feeling that they would almost certainly fail. Is this something that humans can do?
Improve...... That said, will there be the next batch of people to be sent here?
No...... Probably not.
That's too obvious...... Presumably, the data is transmitted to other research institutes, and then experiments are conducted.
Anyway,No one cares about these abandoned children.,Even if it's rotting in the darkness of the school city.,No one cares.。
After this time, the institute was abandoned.
They transferred everything here, whether it was data, precision instruments, and all that was left was an empty shelf for camouflage, which was originally an orphanage, and now, it has finally changed back into an orphanage.
However, the remains of the orphans inside have been ......
As an experimental subject, he was frozen because there was still a need to collect information.
Originally, he should have fallen into an eternal sleep years ago, losing human consciousness, and only his body was constantly used for research.
But he woke up. By the time he woke up, it was all over. Nothing but emptiness awaits him.
Even, he thought, it was good to be an experiment, at least he didn't have to think about anything. Now, he had to think about how he was going to survive from the empty room.
He didn't understand what was going on, only that it was the last month or two.
How pitiful I am! Why, the man in front of him is still forcing him to the death!
His heart was filled with such resentment.
(In that case...... I'll kill you! In the school city,Those guys who are careless about people's lives,All have to be killed...... Why, why force me, I'm already so pitiful, let me live my life in peace, is it too much?! )
With fierce killing intent, his figure moved, his arms turned into mist, and spread towards the river god.
According to what he himself heard from the researcher, his ability was replaced with [LV5 level atomization ability], LV5 is the strongest level existing in the school city! You can't lose!
Thinking so, the diffuse mist thickened and converged towards the Kawajin.
"It's too slow."
Kawajin shook his head and raised his hand to sweep it, only to see a tornado-like wind rolling in front of him, not a tornado in a vertical state, the eye of the storm was in his palm, and he used the tornado as a whip and waved it.
Of course, this is also inspired by video games.
I have to thank Misaka-san, a friendly collaborator who demonstrated so many video game characters for him.
The essence of fog is tiny water droplets, suspended in the air, so what happens if such a tiny particle encounters a strong tornado?
The answer is......
A tornado easily blows away the fog – it's impossible.
A tornado is a weather phenomenon with extremely strong suction. Since it is a strong suction, naturally, it will roll the fog into it, and as the Kawajin keeps blowing out the air current, these fogs are constantly swept into the tornado and pushed out of his body.
But...... It didn't work.
Kawajin could clearly feel that the content of the mist inside had not decreased at all.
A large amount of fog continued to spread in the tornado.
They are not ordinary weather after all, but the product of someone's superpowers. Ordinary fog will be thinned by the air and blown away, but this person's fog will not.
Kawajin was keenly aware that in his tornado, the fog had gathered and eroded little by little.
"Tsk......"
Things were not satisfactory, he couldn't help but be speechless, a silk of water condensed in his left hand, brushed it, and cut out a piece of the concrete floor under his feet, Kawajin stopped the tornado, and threw out a ball of liquid with his right hand, sticking to it like glue, and actually lifted the cut floor up! Like the round shield of an ancient warrior!
The mist could not penetrate the solid, and it had just been sucked in by the storm and merged into a thick cloud of mist, which was now blocked by Kawajin with a concrete shield. He flew up, and when his shoe touched the concrete, it instantly created a wind spout on it, and the strong wind provided a strong reaction force, pushing it out like a cannonball, and slamming into the wall against the fog.
The vampire boy who had just atomized his arms was also frowning,
That's the downside of his superpowers......
Movement speed is too slow.
Someone else's LV5 is accumulated over time and obtained through perennial exercise. Naturally, they know their abilities well, and they also know their strengths and weaknesses clearly, and hone their strengths and avoid weaknesses. However, this child was only forcibly transplanted with superpowers, which was not his ability in the first place, and he had not experienced the previous accumulation, so the degree of utilization of his abilities naturally could not be compared with the orthodox LV5. Otherwise, with such a useful ability of atomization, I am afraid that the Kawajin will be killed in an instant.
Kawajin seemed to notice this, too, and now he defended and attacked, and with a little foot under his feet, he pounced on the vampire boy.
Turning the wind into a blade, aiming at the young man's face is a knife.
Sure enough, as before, the moment the blade touched, the young man's face was distorted and deformed, turning into a cloud of mist, followed by a sudden drop in temperature.
It's cold......
Kawajin smiled bitterly.
This is the trick he used before in order to break through the muscle armor of Nakai, but he didn't expect that he was used this trick today.
That's really ...... Is this a bite from a dog that you raise?
However, Kawajin also had his own method, only to see the wind knife he had just swung explode rapidly, instantly turning himself into the center of a high-pressure explosion, and the torrent of air spread out, rolling the entire atomized body of the young man. And the boy also took this opportunity to completely turn into fog and expand his existence to the abandoned computer room.
