I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

["■■, do you want to go outside? I see that you often look at the scenery of the intrinsic world on the tablet."]

["If there is a chance, I really hope you can go outside and take a look. But now...it's a pity that the superiors don't even allow me to take you out of the research institute and take a look outside."]

["It would be great if I could be invisible. At least I could sneak it out for a look. Although I think this border is not as beautiful as our own world at all."]

"The power of invisibility?"

It was obviously in a dark room with no lights on, but NO.15 felt the light.

His own imprint is shining with a light that has never been seen before.

Then, he lost consciousness.

And when NO.15 regained consciousness again, he found that he was no longer in the familiar room or the familiar research institute.

He was in a forest made of reinforced concrete and glass.

NO.15 raised his head and looked up at the buildings beside him and the light blue sky seeping between the tall buildings.

Although it was not as thorough and beautiful as the pictures in his memory, it was still difficult for him to look away.

"Is this... the sky of the intrinsic world?"

"Bam—"

"Ah, sorry..."

"Huh? What?"

Just when NO.15 was completely relaxed, walking around casually and looking up at the surrounding scenery, he accidentally bumped into a passerby.

"Strange...there's nothing there? Ghost?"

NO.15 apologized subconsciously, but the other party walked by calmly as if nothing happened.

It's like... I'm invisible——

"what's going on?"

NO.15 squeezed his hand and looked around again.

This seemed to be the center of the city, with many pedestrians coming and going, but no one noticed him.

Even if he suddenly stood in front of someone, the other person would remain indifferent as if he didn't notice anything.

After a while, he found the reason.

The mark on his own was shining with a faint light. Although the light is not even comparable to the degree of artificial activation that I tried to activate in the experiment, it is true that this engraving is exerting its due effect.

[Miracle] is rewriting reality and causing the current situation.

Just like the novel I read last night, I seem to be...invisible?

Could it be that my miracle is [invisibility]?

NO.15 Subconsciously asked myself questions, but it was different from the questions I had asked myself every time.

This time it was no longer as fruitless as before, this time he got the answer clearly.

His [miracle] is not invisibility.

What would it be?

This question, whether it is myself, Ful, or the researchers...even them, have asked themselves countless times.

What exactly is my [miracle]?

What does this unfinished hero [engraving] represent?

No, the first question now is, where is this place? Did you come here unconscious?

Is this the New York they're talking about? So what should I do now? How to contact Fuer and the others?

By the way, they have given me a bracelet for my own contact. I should be able to contact them through this——

NO.15 Raise your wrist, luckily the bracelet is still in your hand.

But when he tried to light up the bracelet, he discovered that at some point, his had been completely broken.

"Broken? Why?"

No matter how you press the buttons or click on the screen, the bracelet cannot give you the slightest response.

What should I do now?

NO.15 is a little confused.

By the way, if I were invisible all the time, would they be able to find me?

What should be done before they find themselves? Just wait here?

NO.15 raised his head and looked at the sky again. At this time, the sky had gradually dimmed, changing from light blue to orange-red.

It seems to be called...Yuhi?

Is it almost night?

"Om——"

Just as NO.15 was hesitating about where to go, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fluctuation.

It seemed like something was calling me, and something was waiting for me.

However, he shouldn't run around. Rationally speaking, he should stay here and wait for when he loses the invisibility effect, and they should be able to find him.

Running around will only cause trouble for Ful and Hartz.

Although his sudden disappearance is already causing trouble for them.

But... he couldn't help but walk slowly towards the direction he sensed.

There was a familiar voice that kept saying in his mind.

He has to go there.

He should go there.

He must go there!

The conditions have been met and the stage has been set.

Participants must arrive before something happens.

His inscription says exactly that.

..............................

"Your Excellency Fu'er, please add some energy. This is a common energy supplement in the federation."

"Ok, alright, Thanks."

Fu'er took an energy supplement handed over by the staff, pulled out the stopper and drank it in one gulp.

Then, continue to look at the phone in your hand.

After a while, the sound of the machine beside him stopped. Blake took off his helmet, rubbed his brow and said.

"I sensed several suspected distortion fields, but I couldn't find any trace of No. 15 by calling the corresponding monitoring equipment. But just in case, I sent investigators to conduct on-site investigation."

Blake sighed, then stood up, walked to Ful's side, also picked up an energy supplement, and drank it in one gulp.

Hmm...it's the banana flavor that he doesn't like very much.

"Hartz said he was almost here, and he didn't find any clues there. Do you think No. 15 really came to New York? Could he have gone into the wild?"

"He must have come here. Also, I don't have any clues. At least I found a little bit."

Hartz opened the door and said.

"At least before I lost my sense of smell, No. 15 was definitely heading in the direction of New York."

"That's very strange. Logically speaking, with my [Shadow] power and the blessing of the night, it's impossible to find him."

"No, actually there is still a possibility."

Fu'er, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Blake, if the other party's miracle is [invisibility], can you still trace it?"

"I can't guarantee that if it's just pure optical invisibility, then I should still be able to detect it. But if the principle is a little more deviated, and it is derived from [not being discovered], I can't completely guarantee that it's conceptual invisibility. .What? Do you have a clue about his abilities?"

"Hmm...a little bit, I don't know if it counts."

Fu Er put his mobile phone on the table, with the e-book interface on it.

"Are you here to read a novel?"

Hartz looked at Ful with a strange look.

"Shut up Snow Leopard! Listen to me first!"

Fu Er pointed to the name of the e-book and said.

"I was chatting with him yesterday and mentioned that he was reading this novel recently. The name of the novel is "If I Could Be Invisible". Just now Blake couldn't find No. 15, and combined with that, I don't know what No. 15 is. He bypassed the surveillance system and left our sight, so I made a guess, could it be that his mark was activated, and the activated ability was [invisibility]?"

"Isn't this a bit far-fetched?"

Blake said suspiciously.

"If his mark is so easy to activate, then there shouldn't be any progress in the experiment in the past month."

"Yes, I doubted that too, but I still quickly read part of the book with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and then here, I saw this -"

Fu Er clicked on the bookmark and jumped to one of the stories.

"Here, the protagonist was captured by a research organization from another country and imprisoned. The protagonist's abilities were restricted through equipment. But the protagonist used his knowledge of electronics to rub an EMP with his hand, interfere with the equipment, and then activated invisibility to escape. And I chose to go to the city instead of hiding in the wilderness."

"I don't care whether this plot is ridiculous or not, but does it feel familiar?"

"It's indeed very familiar..."

Blake thought for a moment and said.

"Quie...it's ridiculous..."

Hartz also nodded.

"So, having said that, let’s not talk about the plot! All in all, what is happening now seems to be highly coincident with the content in this story. I have reason to speculate that No. 15 may have avoided our sight in the same way. Leaving the Institute.”

"So, his power may not be [invisibility], but he must have a similar power, or a power that can achieve this effect."

"Then how do we find him?"

"Wait--"

Fuer flipped through two pages of the e-book again.

"According to this storyline, he will encounter mutants in the institute during his escape, and then he will use his abilities to fight against the mutants."

"And at that time... the miracle that is in a fluctuating state will definitely be able to be monitored by us."
