Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

A voice that sounded like a leader came over.

Misaka quickly hid behind the wall and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

"Then he entered a multi-story building in Zone C, which was definitely his headquarters!"

The man with the afro spoke with absolute certainty.

"There's only one man?"

"There must be accomplices, right?"

"I did investigate, and there really is only one man!"

The guy with the afro went to great lengths to persuade his companions to take action, but in the end, the boss made the final decision.

"Go and have a look."

A group of people carried out a robbery on a whim.

"How did you conduct your investigation?"

"Hide nearby and keep watch."

"You're so honest."

"It's been a long time since I've had the chance to get such a large transfer ticket."

In the minds of these female hooligans, the person who created this rumor must be a super-rich person who likes to spend money freely, and there must be at least several hundred such envelopes in his base.

Misaka, who had been secretly observing, peeked out from behind the wall and saw that the thugs had left the alley and headed to the crime scene. She then took out her frog phone and dialed a number.

"Kuroko. Um, well... I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Stalking someone is physically demanding. Since she didn't know how long it would take to get back, Misaka first called her roommate and asked him to use his invincible teleportation ability to fool her when the dorm supervisor checked the rooms.

P.S.: Have you all seen the movie "Andhadhun"?

Chapter 232 The White Coat

Chapter 232

This is a building that has been abandoned for some time. Perhaps it hasn't been demolished yet because the funding hasn't been allocated. However, the people who used to live and maintain it have all left, and even the electricity is intermittent, turning it into a place for some clandestine events.

Following the group of female thugs to this place that looked like a crime scene, Misaka was prepared to take action if things went wrong.

Hiding behind the door, quietly observing how things develop.

Hi, sorry to bother you.

The people from Academy City were quite straightforward. After confirming that there was really only one boy in the other party, the four girls swaggered in through the door and greeted him.

Only the electrical circuits in this room have been maintained and are working properly; a few incandescent light bulbs that are still functional provide ample light.

"If you behave yourself, we won't cause any trouble."

The person targeted was wearing a white lab coat and had a slender build typical of researchers. His short, dark purple hair, almost reaching his shoulders, was curly.

Although he is a boy, he has a girlish face, just like Misaka, which is very popular among boys.

"What are you doing?"

Upon hearing the commotion, the boy in the white coat made the classic 45-degree turn, staring at the four female thugs who had barged in with dead fish eyes.

"It's nothing, just those cards you throw around everywhere."

The thug leader, dressed in a long skirt, pointed to himself with his thumb and said in a greedy tone, "We want to take them all at once."

The boy's dead fish eyes narrowed slightly. Sensing that something was wrong, he didn't panic and reached into his bag.

"Wait!"

Despite wearing a long skirt, this woman was quite agile. She quickly ran behind the boy, grabbed his hand from his bag, and twisted his other hand behind his back to control him.

"It'll be a real hassle if the security alarm goes off, so we should check that too. Hello..."

She turned around and called her companions. The remaining three girls quickly ran over, some rummaging through bags, some taking off their clothes, and others keeping watch.

A short while later—

"What's going on? There are only two!"

A girl found only two envelopes in her bag.

"Clam?"

"Not here either."

The girl who took off the boy's white coat searched it thoroughly, inside and out, but couldn't find a single hair.

"Coming all the way here and only getting this little bit of stuff, this is no joke."

The foreman, who had been watching her subordinates work, looked very dissatisfied. She turned her impatient gaze to the controlled boy and snapped, "Hey! I have no interest in searching men. Now behave yourself..."

"not here."

The composed young man interrupted the female thug's speech.

"These are all I have."

"How is this possible!"

The girl with the afro, who strongly recommended her companions to do this job, is now in control of the boy. If this trip doesn't yield much of a return, she might have to go back and polish her boss's shoes and wash his underwear.

"You're really calm in this situation."

The man with the afro said something rather strange.

The victims they had encountered before were all trembling with fear.

"Could this guy be a superhuman?"

A girl suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The leader, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, giving the impression that she had some hidden cards up her sleeve.

"What's the panic? He doesn't seem capable of handling so many of us at once. In that case, let's search this place thoroughly."

"Hey, you keep an eye on this guy."

As if on purpose, the leader gestured with her eyes to the girl who had just been terrified by her own speculation.

"Ah I?"

"What are you afraid of?"

He was sweating profusely while controlling the boy's afro, but he couldn't lose in terms of momentum.

"I'm not scared at all!"

The person who was called out certainly didn't want to be looked down upon by their companion, so they retorted forcefully, and despite feeling a chill run down their spine, they still took on the task of getting the older sister's hair.

The boy did not intend to run away or do anything rash, so the female thug who was left alone with him did not continue to restrain him by twisting his hands behind his back. The two of them were basically in a harmonious relationship, staying together in the same room.

Damn it, I don't know what's wrong with her, this woman is terrifying.

The female thug listened to the sounds of her companions searching for something nearby, and kept stealing glances at the seemingly expressionless man, her heart filled with panic.

"Wait, I think I've seen that school badge before."

The girl noticed that the school badge on the other person's chest looked familiar, but upon closer inspection, she was terrified and felt a sense of suffocation.

Long-term computer lab?

Isn't that the elite capital of Academy City?

So this guy really is a high-level ability user?

The girl was starting to tremble slightly and couldn't help but cover her lips tightly with her hand to hide her fear.

"No, wait, I need to calm down! It's different from Tokiwadai. Even if you excel in areas outside your abilities, you can still study there."

The boy looked at the boy who had begun to tremble slightly with dead fish eyes.

"So this guy might not necessarily be a power user."

Just as the girl was trying to convince herself to overcome her fear, the face that frightened her suddenly appeared in front of her, looking at her very closely and bringing immense pressure.

"You!...What do you want to do?"

The girl jumped back in fright, looking at the man who had finally taken action with suspicion and uncertainty.

You don't look well, are you alright?

The girl had her hands behind her back, and her slender figure made her look just like a real girl.

Even if you don't look well, I won't be scared by you!

The female thug felt like a million grass mud horses were stampeding through her mind. She put her hands in her skirt pockets and turned her head to the side to avoid the boy's calm, scrutinizing gaze.

"leave me alone!"

"Rapid breathing."

The boy slowly moved closer to the female thug's body.

"You're still sweating profusely; it seems you've lost your composure."

The boy looked at the girl, whose body was beginning to stiffen, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips as he brought them close to her ear.

"It's just like……"

What did he say?

Misaka, who was peeking from next door, couldn't hear the whisper and was getting a little anxious. Why could she scare a girl so much that she backed away?

How do you know about this?

"because……"

The boy approached again and whispered something in the female thug's ear.

While his accomplices were searching for the cash card in the other rooms, they suddenly heard a scream from the guy guarding the hostage in the next room.

Yes, it's that kind of chilling scream that sends a shiver down your spine, a scream that seems to send a deep-seated fear through your bones.

"Hey! What's wrong?"

Several accomplices quickly dropped what they were holding and ran over.

Then, in their sight, the hostage-guarding accomplice lay on the ground with his eyes rolled back, as if he were already dead.

P.S.: Goodnight~

Chapter 233 Please Begin Your Performance

Chapter 233

The boy under guard stood there with his hands hanging down, as if nothing had happened. He had no fierce expression, nor was he breathing heavily. He was extremely calm, so calm that it was almost eerie.

Such a scene greatly increased the psychological pressure on these unsuspecting people, and the eerie atmosphere was created very effectively.

However, Misaka, an ordinary citizen who was secretly observing, could see very clearly that she must have used some kind of anesthetic needle or anesthetic to launch a sneak attack.

This guy must be a powerless being.

"What have you done?"

The female thug with the afro had already gained some courage and was using loud talking to cover up her fear.

"This guy is definitely a power user."

"Then why didn't he attack us earlier!"

There's an even more timid thug over here. If we added some scary background music, it would probably scare them to death.

"But he didn't use anything..."

Seeing that his psychological tactics were beginning to take effect, the boy began to guide them step by step, leading them into deeper fear.

"Because there are conditions for initiation."

At this point, you should follow their logic and help them complete the fantasy that terrifies them.

"My ability is 'life interruption,' which can only be activated on opponents I have come into contact with."
