Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

"Ok?"

Misaka looked up at the man, who seemed to be hiding something, with a puzzled expression.

"Knowing the truth will only bring pain. Because with your power, there's nothing you can do."

Misaka raised an eyebrow, a defiant expression on her face. She stood up and shouted, "I'm asking what details you know! Besides, if I can't do anything, then what can you do..."

The familiar smell, the man opposite him had always been expressionless, but Hu launched a sudden attack.

Taking advantage of Misaka's questioning, the boy turned around first, then jumped up, spun in the air, and kicked Misaka in the waist.

"Whoa! Hmm..."

The second half of her sentence was cut off by the kick. Misaka doubled over in pain, her voice hoarse and strained as if she were speaking through her lungs:

"What else can you do?"

"There's very little I can do."

The man with purple curly hair said expressionlessly, "Leaving cash cards everywhere is also part of it."

"Ok?"

Misaka looked up at the opposite side with a strange expression.

"Eliminate the blind spots of Academy City."

"By placing cash cards everywhere, we can draw attention to alleyways that are not covered by surveillance cameras. Using this method, we might be able to organize 'experiments' conducted in dark alleys."

P.S.: The plot of The Tuner is pretty good. The initial setup is rather bland, but from the middle onwards, the plot keeps taking unexpected turns until the very last second of the movie, when it turns out that the male lead has turned into a villain!

Chapter 235 Absolutely Cold-Hearted

Chapter 235

"what?"

Misaka clutched the spot where she had been kicked, looking at him with confusion.

"However, I was too reckless. I was actually seen and followed by others."

As he spoke, the man opened a drawer in the temporary base and took out a document.

"If this thing is discovered, it might turn into a problem."

Misaka didn't know what he was holding or what he was going to do, and her gaze followed his movements.

"As expected, things that could become clues should not be left behind."

He pulled a lighter from his pocket, lit the document, and said, "This place has also been borrowed without permission. Let's leave before these people sober up."

The flames spread upwards, gradually turning the paper into ashes.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Misaka ran over and put her arm around the purple-haired man's shoulder, but then her still aching kidneys reminded her that she couldn't be rude to this person, so she changed her tone.

"Huh? Please wait a moment."

The burning documents in the man's hand fell to the ground.

"What have you been saying all this time? What exactly do you want to do..."

Misaka was stunned again before she could finish speaking, this time because of her own situation.

The documents that had fallen to the ground were scattered all over the place and were burning; the flames suddenly grew larger.

Looking at the scattered wooden planks and flammable materials such as cloth on the ground, Misaka wondered if this would cause a fire.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

"By the way, if we want to destroy the evidence, we need to get the witnesses to join us at the scene to eliminate it together."

Looking at the room that had fallen to the ground and was gradually turning into a fire scene, the boy remained expressionless, but uttered some inhuman words.

You are so cruel!

Misaka was stunned, shaking her head vigorously and saying, "Akizuki! No way?"

Then, he released his hand from the other woman's shoulder and forcefully pulled the female thug who had fallen to the ground up.

"Anyway, we need to get these guys..."

"Nothing to do with me."

The boy put on a white coat and ran off with his belongings.

“Huh??!”

Misaka was completely bewildered. Was this guy really that cold-blooded and ruthless?

It took a lot of effort to move these four people downstairs. If Misaka hadn't been able to strengthen her muscles through electrical stimulation, she might not have been able to rescue them before the flames spread.

During this time, he did consider finding something to put out the fire, but the things here were too dry and flammable, and he was afraid that when he returned with a fire extinguisher, he would only be able to smell the fragrance.

Thick black smoke billowed from the broken windows, and the flames in the darkness were quickly spotted by passing students who called the police. The fire department arrived quickly, and by the time Misaka had moved the four people downstairs, they could already hear the fire truck siren.

A crowd of onlookers gathered below the abandoned building, pointing and gesturing at the burning floor, and taking photos with their phones.

Misaka emerged from the exit, blending in seamlessly and stealthily slipping away. After moving a short distance and realizing no one was paying attention, she quickly ran off.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Misaka didn't stop until she reached a deserted, remote alley, where she braced herself on her knees and gasped for breath.

This wasn't the first time she'd escaped a troublesome situation, but today's was the most thrilling.

"Damn it, that violent guy! Ugh!"

Taking a deep breath, Misaka muttered to herself, "He not only hit me twice, but he also said some nonsensical things. Is he an idiot?"

Misaka had rested enough and her breathing had calmed down, but she was a little lost in thought, and a shadow fell over her heart.

Why take what he said seriously?

Shaking her head, Misaka stretched casually.

"Ugh, what a waste of time. I'll go back to my dorm, take a shower, and go to sleep."

"Humph!"

As she walked back, Misaka's mind involuntarily drifted back to those rumors.

boring--

Every time Misaka hears that rumor, she thinks the same thing: it's impossible for anyone to create a clone of her.

However... he did provide the DNA information needed for cloning technology.

But that was a long time ago, and the purpose at that time was not to replicate clones, but to save patients suffering from muscular dystrophy.

“My assistance will definitely be useful, especially since that hospital went bankrupt not long ago, and now…”

Despite trying to reassure myself, I felt increasingly uneasy the more I thought about it, so I simply turned around and ran to the nearest public phone booth.

He wasn't going to make a phone call.

"Since he's a student who spends more time on the computer, all we need to do is hack into the student roster database..."

Misaka took her handheld console out of her pocket and connected it to the main unit of the telephone.

The security level of the Academy City public telephone network terminals is D, while the security level of the school faculty and staff terminals is B. Misaka can use her electrical abilities to hack into the security system.

A login password window appeared on the handheld console screen, and the password numbers kept changing, and it was completely cracked in a short time.

"Found him!... Fubuki Toshinobu, a third-year high school student, seventeen years old. He showed promise in the field of biological psychiatry from a young age, working at Yamaga University Hospital and Higuchi Pharmaceutical..."

Misaka's heart sank as she read the materials.

"Yamashita University? Wasn't that the university back then..."

He was there... Could it be that he really...?

A bad feeling grew stronger in her heart. Misaka swallowed hard and pushed aside her distracting thoughts to continue reading that man's profile.

"And Higuchi Pharmaceutical's 7th Pharmaceutical Research Center participated in the research and later resumed their studies at this university... Did they use my DNA profile?"

Knowing the truth will only bring pain, because you can do nothing with your power.

Misaka's expression darkened as the words of Toshinobu Fubuki echoed in her mind.

Even if you confront that dead-eyed guy, he'll probably just give you the runaround.

Okay, let's just infiltrate!

Misaka packed up her handheld console, walked out of the public phone booth, and then froze.

It's not really appropriate to go infiltrate while wearing a school uniform... Infiltrating should be done with proper combat gear.

So Misaka changed course halfway and went to a large chain store that is still in operation, where she grabbed a random outfit.

"Hello, the total is 37,000 yuan. May I ask your payment method?"

"cash."

Misaka took out her Gekota wallet to pay the bill, and then booked a double room at the hotel to change out of the clothes, since the single rooms were all booked.

It's just changing clothes anyway, he doesn't care whether it's single or double.

P.S.: You can never wake a cat that's truly asleep, not even by prying its eyes open! I had to wake it up around 7 a.m. to get it to write. It's getting lazier and lazier. I've been feeding it too well lately and it's lost its motivation to write. I'll stop feeding it canned food for the next couple of days and reflect on my behavior.

Chapter 236 Electrotherapy Infiltration Method

Chapter 236

Everything is ready, so... let's begin the infiltration!

The security guard at Higuchi Pharmaceuticals was trying to combat his drowsiness by watching the transformation animation of Kana, the super-mobile boy, but the animation suddenly disappeared halfway through, leaving only a static screen with no signal.

"what happened?"

The security guard shook the screen and said, "That's strange, it's a brand new TV."

Outside the window, while the security guard was banging on and repairing the television, Misaka crouched down and slipped past under the window.

The TV screen returned to normal only after the boy emitting the interfering electromagnetic waves left, but the boy's transformation was already complete.

Misaka ran quickly through the dark corridor and soon arrived at a door that required a fingerprint password to open.

Above the corridor is an infrared full-angle sensor that can capture clear images of the environment in the dark.

The monitoring probes that Misaka sensed were quickly electrocuted, with visible currents emanating from the surface of the body.

Then, Misaka's figure disappeared from the surveillance footage. That surveillance camera was a coward, bullying the weak.

The steel gate had just thought that when it also experienced the pleasure of electrotherapy, it no longer cared about fingerprints or passwords and quickly spread its legs to wait for entry.

Both doors were open, but the surveillance footage showed nothing unusual; everything appeared calm and peaceful.

Meanwhile, the two female security guards in the monitoring room, who were so bored that they decided to play cards to decide who would patrol, seemed to be just going through the motions and didn't even pay attention to the surveillance footage.

Indeed, without finding some enjoyment in this kind of work, it's easy to wear down one's spirit, and it's no wonder one gets so tired that one has to sleep.

The woman who lost at cards looked dejected. Damn it, it's me again. I guess I've been cursed with bad luck lately.

"Is it really necessary to patrol such a well-maintained facility?"

She put on her patrol security uniform and straightened her hat. Her companion, meanwhile, lay leisurely in a chair, urging her to hurry up and go on patrol.

From beginning to end, their eyes never glanced at the surveillance camera.

-

"Anti-theft surveillance cameras, infrared sensors, and electronic locks?"

Misaka leaned against the wall and plugged her handheld console into the port of a circuit device.

All of these are powered security systems, so this part is no problem for him at all; he just needs to pay attention to the staff and guards.

Misaka examined the floor plan of the pharmaceutical factory on her handheld console and was surprised to find that there was no similar research department there.

"No, there's an area that clearly has power but is isolated from the network."

"The fact that there are no surveillance cameras on the freight transport route is quite questionable. However, the isolation between the internal and external networks suggests that they don't want outsiders to know about their research."
