Chapter 43

The attacked research institute

“By the way, how is the investigation of the serial bombing going?”

Natsume Enako asked curiously. She has been busy looking for her bicycle recently, and has not paid much attention to the earlier bombing.

“The criminal has been caught. His ability is level 2 quantum speed change, but because of some things, it has been upgraded to level 4. Fortunately, it did not cause any bigger disturbances.”

Shirai-san leaned on her head with one hand and shook a drink in the other hand.

“Thanks to Senior Maeda’s ability, we traced back to the area near the bombing and saw a suspicious person. Although we encountered a little trouble when we arrested her, it was generally smooth.” Shirai-san thought for a while and said that although she was not injured during the arrest, she was also badly injured.

“The criminal’s ability is very dangerous. She used aluminum cans to make bombs, and even small things like spoons and key rings could cause a big explosion.” Uiharu-san said with lingering fear.

“According to the latest investigation by the security guards, he used a tool called Fantasy Hand to improve his ability. Many recent incidents with ability users were caused by this thing. Really, he just got the ability and he went to do evil.”

Seemingly feeling a bit troubled, Shirai-san sighed and a sad face appeared. With the appearance of Fantasy Hand, the work of the discipline committee has increased significantly, and there are also higher-level ability users, which greatly increases the degree of danger.

“So that’s how it is. Shirai-san is really hard-working.” Natsume Enako nodded, expressing her sympathy for Shirai-san.

“Fantasy Hand? Our school even asked that fierce dormitory supervisor to tell us not to use Fantasy Hand.” Senior Misaka said immediately, as if she remembered the fear when she was stopped by the Dorm Supervisor last night.

“Can using Fantasy Hand really improve ability?” Saten-san sat aside and muttered to himself.

“Natsume-san, how is your bicycle theft case going? You must have been investigating alone these days. Ordinary citizens should just wait for the results in the dormitory. Don’t always try to show off.”

Shirai-san looked up at Natsume Enako helplessly and said.

“Okay, I know my limits. Shirai-san is really nosy. Are you my mother?” Natsume Enako narrowed her eyes and looked directly at Shirai-san’s scrutinizing eyes. She was not at all inferior in momentum and said unwillingly.

“Boom.”

A huge explosion sounded out of nowhere, and even the ground had obvious signs of vibration.

The explosion lasted only a few seconds, and everything around them became quiet again. Several people hurriedly grabbed the tables and chairs around them to stabilize their bodies, and looked at each other in confusion.

“Where did it explode?” Senior Misaka said with some concern.

About a minute later, Uiharu-san’s mobile phone suddenly rang, and the ringtone was a very ordinary folk song.

“This is Uiharu Kazari, it’s Senior Konori Mii, yes, yes, I understand.” Uiharu-san answered the phone, her face gradually became solemn, Several people around her looked at Uiharu-san curiously.

“What happened?” Saten-san asked curiously.

“Shirai-san, a nearby research institute seems to have had a huge explosion. We need to assist the security guards in evacuating the nearby crowd.” Uiharu-san put away her phone and spoke anxiously.

“How could such a thing happen in broad daylight? Uiharu, let’s act quickly.”

Although Shirai-san complained, she still put on the armband of the discipline committee member quickly and rushed to the location sent by Senior Konori with Uiharu-san.

“I’ll help too.” Senior Misaka grabbed Shirai-san’s arm and insisted.

“Really, this kind of thing has nothing to do with ordinary citizens.”

“We can all do our part to evacuate the crowd. This is not just the responsibility of the discipline committee member.” Saten-san also stood up and answered firmly.

“I’ll help too.” Natsume Enako silently raised her arm, indicating that she could do it too.

Seventh School District, Advanced Armament Research Institute.

Violent explosions sounded one after another, and debris flew everywhere, injuring several passing students.

The originally tall research institute building has become a broken wall, and even the ground has sunk dozens of meters, forming a huge underground cavity nearby.

The remains of the guard robot were thrown far to the roadside under the high-intensity shock wave. The surface was severely broken, and the electronic components inside had already emitted dazzling sparks.

The security guards were always so fast. Within ten minutes of the explosion, several Armored Cars and dozens of security guards arrived at the scene.

Since it belonged to the seventh school district, the security guards were still Teacher Huang Quan and Tessou-sensei.

“Captain Huang Quan, it has been confirmed that the murderer who caused the explosion is still inside.” Tessou-sensei reported softly.

“Hehe, this time the incident was a big deal. It almost destroyed an entire commercial street. I don’t know what the higher-ups were thinking. They built such a dangerous research institute in the downtown area.”

Teacher Huang Quan said angrily. Watching the aftermath of the explosion getting stronger and stronger, the huge heat transmitted from a long distance could be felt.

“Why are there students nearby? What are they doing?” Teacher Huang Quan frowned and looked at several students nearby who were helping to deal with injured passers-by and asked.

“he are the discipline committee members nearby. I will go and ask him to leave.” Tessou-sensei replied, After saying that, he trotted to where several discipline committee members were.

“Well, you are still students, leave here quickly.” The weak-voiced security teacher Tiezhuang rushed to the location of the injured and said anxiously.

“Wait a minute, Natsume-san will stop the bleeding soon.” Uiharu-san sat on the ground, sweating profusely and helping a seriously injured person to carry a stretcher beside her.

As Tessou-sensei turned his eyes, he saw a little girl with a bun and covered in dust squatting on the ground, staring at the wound with him eyes, but after a while, the blood that had originally flowed out coagulated.

The little girl’s face was a little panicked, and she looked a little flustered. Although there may be some minor problems later, there is no good medical treatment for the time being, so she can only make do with it.

Natsume Enako’s ability cannot directly act on the human body, but it can indirectly affect the surface of a person.

“I’m almost done here.” Several passers-by at the scene were seriously injured, However, with Senior Misaka, who has a pacemaker function, most people are out of danger.

“What happened here?” Natsume Enako was still a little confused. The quiet and peaceful city life seemed to be still in front of her, but she turned a few streets and saw this tragic scene.

Unlike the established plot in the anime, there are always many unexpected events in the real Academy City.

Senior Misaka, Shirai-san and Uiharu-san were very calm. Although Saten-san was a little scared at first, she soon calmed down.

Senior Natsume Enako exaggerated her psychological quality, and she still has some lingering fears.

The sky-high explosion flames rolled up huge heat waves, and the waves of heat waves made Natsume Enako very annoyed.

“It seems that there is no heat wave here.”

After just feeling the waves of heat waves, Tessou-sensei felt a little strange about the pleasant environment around him.

Due to the existence of Senior Natsume Enako, the burning heat waves were cooled down to a warm spring breeze before she could get close to a few people.

“Everyone is on alert, live ammunition is allowed.”

Teacher Huang Quan looked at the center of the explosion seriously, frowned tightly, and stared at the flames burning in the underground cave with wide eyes.

At this time, a strange humanoid creature walked out of the flames.

In fact, it can’t be considered a humanoid, it can only be said that the human limbs can be vaguely seen.

This is a monster with broken wires or catheters inserted all over its body, A stone the size of a human face is embedded in the chest, and mysterious patterns are carved in the slightly exposed corner of the stone.

The head has been completely deformed, and it even makes people doubt whether it still exists.

“What kind of monster is this?” Natsume Enako looked at the monster not far away with a little horror. Judging from the appearance alone, this should be the legendary BOSS monster

On the roof of a store that was not affected by the aftermath of the explosion.

A tall and slender girl with fluffy brown hair is observing something with a telescope.

“Mugino, is this thing our target?” The girl with a beret, a black miniskirt, and fluffy blonde hair exclaimed.

“This is a monster cultivated with alien meteorites and that guy’s cells. Our target is not the monster, but the stone on its chest.”

“It took a lot of effort to make this guy run away with Fantasy Hand. I still feel very unwilling to fail a year ago.” The girl called Mugino gritted her teeth, as if she remembered something.

“When do we start? There seems to be a troublesome person over there.” The junior high school student with a brown bob haircut beside her yawned and asked, pointing at Senior Misaka not far away.
