Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

"Shouldn't it be just these things that you want to talk about?"

he asked into the comm.

"Of course, what I told you before is just the basis of what we're going to talk about next," Barkley's voice seemed to be relieved, "I don't think you guys know that Ring City is dedicated to You left the Broken Knife and two knight weapons, right?"

Jiang Ming frowned.

No one tracked it down afterwards, but it was because the matter itself was designed?

"The reason they will do this is very simple. Administrator Midil got a prophecy from a certain colleague, that is, there is a possibility of solving this crisis, and you are the key to it. Because of this, He chose to leave his weapons to help you."

"Although I am ready to die here, if I can survive, if I have a chance to beat this bastard back, then I will definitely do my best. The quarantine area I am in can control all electronic equipment on the ground, And I still have a lot of good players here who can provide support."

"How about it, let's make a deal. I and the rest of the people in the quarantine area will help you to solve this crisis together, so that everyone can survive. As long as you agree, I can provide more There is a lot of support and intelligence, from all kinds of information to weapons to professional combatants."

"How, give your answer."

Chapter 40: Taste the Powerless Pain Here

Kamijou Touma was panting and running.

At this moment, he was in a small market about five or six blocks away from his home.

More than ten minutes ago, Kamijou Touma, who was going to bed, got dressed and went downstairs to check the situation because he heard some strange noises outside. Many people could be heard screaming and wailing.

Without hesitation, the boy immediately chose to run to the street to investigate what happened.

Then what unfolded in front of his eyes was the scene of those familiar nearby residents turning into strange monsters with their heads torn apart expressionlessly.

These transformed things are constantly attacking the surrounding people. They seem to be intentionally killing those who have not been transformed, and taking their corpses away to a certain place.

The boy stepped forward without a doubt, and was sent flying with one blow.

Kamijou Touma, who flew more than ten meters away, landed on the roof of a shop. Because of the cushion of the roof, there was no serious problem. The person who ran out of the alley shifted his target and chased after him.

Then, the boy who struggled to get up from the ground met Misaka Mikoto who also ran out to help, but was attacked by a transformer and knocked down.

At a critical moment, Kamijou grabbed the gas tank of a dilapidated shop on the side of Mahjong Street, picked it up and threw it out, hitting the convert.A nearby car overturned and leaked oil, so the transforming person was knocked over by the gas tank and fell to the ground and slid near the car. Then, a wire in the car burst into sparks, ignited a fire and caused an explosion, killing the transforming person. It flew out and smashed into the building across the street.

But soon after, more converts began to appear on the streets.

Kamijou Touma and Misaka Mikoto had to flee in embarrassment. On the chaotic streets, there were changers chasing them from time to time, but they were thrown away for various reasons and could not continue to pursue.

In the end, they fled to a small market, which has not yet been discovered by the changers and has gathered a certain number of survivors.

Kamijou Touma ran to carry some wooden boards and other things, and together with some young and strong men among the survivors, they sealed the entrance and exit of the small market and nailed down the windows.Although this kind of defense is meaningless at all in front of those transformants who seem to be completely immortal and have extremely terrifying physical fitness, but in order to stabilize these terrified survivors and avoid being discovered, these people can only take this kind of defense now. Actions to give yourself psychological comfort.

"Where did these things come from?"

Misaka Mikoto wiped the side face that had accidentally scratched the skin on the way to escape before, and the expression on her face was deeply puzzled.She couldn't understand why the person who was laughing with you one second could suddenly turn into a weird monster and attack you the next.

"I don't know what happened to Mom, Dad, Index, Jiang Ming, and Virgil. They should have protected the survivors, right?"

Kamijou Touma took a deep breath and murmured to himself somewhat uneasily.

"Who is Index?"

Misaka Mikoto, who hadn't been to Kamijou's house for a while, showed a puzzled expression because of the small thoughts that grew suddenly after growing into a girl.

"Hey! Don't talk, it seems that those things are approaching."

A young man on the side yelled at the two of them in a low voice.

The boys and girls fell silent in the next second. In the quiet darkness, they did hear the sound of footsteps outside, the gentle, step-by-step sound of walking by.

Those guys who were supposed to be human, but now they don't know what they are.

Kamijou Touma quietly looked out from the crack of the nailed window.

Those people with their heads almost completely torn off and showing strange smiles dragged their mutilated corpses forward, moving in one direction, and the target seemed to be the square in the city center.

Those things probably didn't notice that there were actually dozens of living people in this sealed small market, and they just dragged the people they caught and killed to move forward on their own.

Why did they catch these people who were killed?

The boy who was thinking like this, his pupils tightened suddenly after he continued to observe.

I saw familiar figures, they were my classmates in school, some of them were walking with the same dull expression, and some of them could no longer recover their breathing, being dragged along in fragments.

"how is this possible--"

Anger surged in his heart, but before Kamijou Touma could stand up, the girl beside him jumped on him and pushed the boy back to the ground.

"Calm down, you bastard, if you rush out now, everyone here will die!"

The pale Misaka Mikoto stared at Kamijou Touma's face and gritted her teeth. At this moment, their cheeks were almost touching each other, but neither of them felt anything bad at all, only cold emotions lingered in each other's hearts.

"I can only... watch this happen..."

Kamijou Touma murmured.

"At least for now, it does."

I don't know how to comfort the boy in front of me.

She clearly knew this man's character and what kind of person he was.

Five years ago, when she was just a child, waiting for death in fear in the ruins covered by chaotic energy, when the boy came running with his right hand waving, she knew that this boy had a hero's heart. What kind of person is the boy.

She also understood that after that, the right hand gradually lost its strength, and this young man, who became an ordinary person like many capable users in Academy City, still had no change in his heart.

Let him witness such a thing happen without being able to do anything, such a blow is extremely huge.

"Sorry, just a little bit, bear with it."

At this moment, the girl can only choose to hug the boy tightly, hoping to bring him some comfort in this way.

The lights in the small market suddenly turned on.

"Hey, who turned on this light?"

Survivors who were already terrified shouted in fear. Someone turned his head and found that it was a young girl who was in the crowd from the beginning, standing at the power switch and turning on the light.

"What are you doing, who's child, you, quickly turn off the lights, and don't lead those things out!"

A middle-aged man shouted angrily, and walked towards the little girl directly.

Then, he saw the girl who turned her head, that smile that tore her entire head.

"Ah, ah! It's a monster! It's the same monster as those outside!!!"

The voice of fear that erupted first was like a signal to detonate the audience.

The psychological pressure was already tense to the maximum, and people ran around in panic in fear, but they couldn't escape because the exits of the small market had already been blocked by them.

Then, blood flew up.

She was obviously only a little girl of a few years old, but a random movement surpassed the limit of human vision. With a light wave of her hand, the air was torn apart and a sonic boom was produced, blowing up a man who had no time to escape and flying away. The hideous color of the fire instantly filled the entire small market, and the stench seemed to add to the joy of this miserable howling feast.

Zila - Zila -

There was a screeching sound from the power line, which seemed to be caused by some short circuit. The machines in some shops in the small market that were not closed also started to operate. A meat grinder outside the door of a shop that made minced meat started to rattle. It spun up.

The little girl raised her hand slightly, as if she wanted to dance, but in the next second her fingers pointed towards the head of a middle-aged woman who ran away screaming, ■■■■■■■■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

【■■Suitable】

The weird voice is already difficult to identify whether it is still a human language.

Then, a rolling pin hit the girl on the head.

[■? 】

The girl who looked back was a little confused, and saw Kamijou Touma swinging the rolling pin, hitting her in the face again.

"Stop it, you—"

Tear!

The little arm ripped apart the boy's stomach in the next moment, tearing out a large portion of his intestines.

The expression on the boy's face changed from anger to pain in an instant, clutching his bleeding stomach, the boy gritted his teeth and took a few steps back, took a deep breath, and raised the rolling pin in his hand again to hit him again.

thump—

Then the girl kicked him randomly, kicked him flying out, hit the ceiling with a clear sound, and then fell hard on the ground, and slid out ten times while cracking the concrete floor. After a distance of many meters, it finally hit the bottom of the meat grinder, and the blood that flowed out gradually surrounded his whole body.

【■■Offer■■■■】

Weird murmur, like humming a song softly.

The little girl's entire face was torn into two halves, and the smiling cheeks were constantly scanning the fleeing crowd around her, as if she was screening targets.

"don't want!!!"

Then, a girl's mournful cry was heard.

Misaka Mikoto slammed forward at this moment, seemingly not expecting the sudden blow, the little girl was knocked over and fell to the ground.

"Ugh!"

But in the next second, the small arm grabbed the girl's neck, completely unable to resist the opponent's arm strength that could easily tear apart the main battle tank, and Misaka Mikoto was lifted up amid painful panting.

【■■Suitable】

In the vague voice like a ballad, the little fingers began to tighten little by little, piercing into the girl's skin, causing her cheeks to turn red.And the little girl in front of her seemed to have a happier smile, as if she had encountered something pleasing.

Everything is at this moment, and it seems to have entered an irreparable situation.

Boom!

chap——

Then, two voices sounded quickly.

The smashed ceiling, and the little arms flying into the sky.

Virgil slowly retracted the broken knife in his hand into the scabbard, and kicked the little girl who had become a transformant away, rolled on the ground more than ten times and crashed into a closed shop.

"You want to protect the man you love, and you want to avenge him, but you don't even have the strength to hurt the enemy. Poor girl, have you experienced the sadness of not having power?"

Virgil looked at Misaka Mikoto who was coughing on the ground, and seemed to speak with some emotion.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this," Jiang Ming jumped in from the smashed ceiling, "I've given you the mutated loli, I'm here to evacuate the people here, is it okay?"
