This is... the coin used by the level 3 "Railgun" to launch an attack?

Thinking about Misaka Mikoto's actions just now, the girl opened her mouth in surprise... Was her reminder really a bit unnecessary?

“That little girl down there, there’s a proverb in my country that I’ve always liked: ‘It is impolite not to reciprocate.’” He glanced at the fragment of a coin, launched like a cannonball and mostly vaporized from the intense friction with the air, then squeezed it into a small ball and tossed it back at Misaka Mikoto: “As a response to your repeated attacks on me, you try taking one of my moves.”

Even if we only look at the level of ability, he is a level 5 "absolute constant speed"!

Chapter 186 The Nanny-like Chairman

When Bai Ye launched this steel ball made from a coin fragment, he did not use the power of the Momo-Momo Fruit; he simply used the force of his wrist to flick it.

Because the surrounding power systems had been damaged in the battle, Misaka Mikoto could only make out, by the moonlight shining down from the sky and the arcs of electricity dancing on her body, that Byakuya seemed to have thrown something at her.

brush--

A layer of fine iron filings rose from the ground and in the blink of an eye formed a thick, black shield in front of her, blocking the path of the steel ball.

Then the girl's expression changed instantly.

The shield, made of iron sand several centimeters thick, couldn't even stop that steel ball for a second.

After quickly retreating a few meters to the side, Misaka Mikoto turned around and looked at the house that had been pierced through. Her eyebrows twitched violently. What a joke! How could such a slow speed, as if it could fall to the ground at any moment, have such destructive power?

"Absolute constant velocity—the objects I throw will continue moving forward regardless of what appears in front of them, unless they are destroyed or the ability's effect is canceled... Judging from your attack just now, you seem to enjoy firing cannons too. How about we have a firefight?"

...Why do I always have this feeling that I might be knocked down and subdued by a fierce loli in a riding position when I say these words? Is it because the lines don't match my own style?

Suddenly, Bai Ye's expression changed, as if he was thinking of something.

As for Misaka Mikoto, she naturally rejected Byakuya's suggestion without even thinking. Although she understood that Byakuya's "exchange of fire" referred to the opponent's steel balls and her own railgun, she had a feeling that if she agreed, she might lose something very important... her integrity?

Emmmmmm……

"Anyway, you just need to be careful not to get hit by me next, right? With your speed just now, it's easy for you to break through!" With a quick thought, Misaka Mikoto figured out the problem she needed to be careful of when facing Byakuya.

But if the speed is absolutely constant, then why is the other party still able to fly in the sky?

And if she wasn't seeing things, the other party caught her railgun with his bare hands. This... is that a joke?

I feel like I've gotten myself into some trouble because of a momentary impulse.

Just as she gritted her teeth and took out two more game coins from her pocket, preparing to try again, Bai Ye in the sky also took out a steel ball from his own pocket.

"Momo Thirty Times Marble... Hmm?"

The phone that was a gift from a delinquent and had been used to contact the chairman had been casually destroyed by him. However, Bai Ye was, after all, a legendary boy who almost achieved a 500-kill streak. It was impossible for so many delinquents to have only given him one phone as a gift. So this time, the call was received from another game that Bai Ye quite liked...

"Hello, Aleister?" Seeing the jumbled characters on the caller ID, Bai Ye guessed who was calling before the other party could even speak.

"...So what exactly do you want to do? Among the level 5 characters, the ones who have the biggest impact on my plan are the first one, 'Accelerator,' and the third one, 'A Certain Scientific Railgun.' I can't say anything about the first one, but the third one? Judging from your expression, you probably want to cripple her!"

"I was just making a normal joke~" Bai Ye shrugged, looking completely innocent.

joke……

Aleksandar, now suspended in a new life support unit, gurgled out a series of bubbles.

"...As long as those 20,000 clones don't leave this world, you can do whatever you want with them. The only requirement is that you don't provoke the third one again. Right now, she needs to continue being a good student for a while. The plan will begin in a year. If you're still interested then, you can do whatever you want with her."

"..."

Looking at the call that had already been disconnected, Bai Ye curled his lip, squeezed hard, and crushed the phone into pieces.

After throwing the clump of debris into a trash can a hundred meters away, Bai Ye waved to Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko below: "Consider yourselves lucky. Someone pulled some strings to plead for you, so I'll pretend today's events never happened... Have a pleasant night."

After saying that, Bai Ye turned and left without waiting for the two girls to react.

There's still an hour or so before the experiment starts. What should I do to pass the time... maybe tease Xiao Yifang a bit?

Hmm, that's a good idea.

Having made up his mind, Bai Ye flew directly towards the apartment where Yi Fang lived.

Standing on the rooftop, watching Shirayuki disappear into the void before her eyes, Misaka Mikoto felt a surge of anger... What was this feeling of being let go as if she were nothing, even though she could still fight? Was she being looked down upon?

“Um… Miss, although I know you’re on our side, according to the regulations on public security administration, could you please come back with us to give a statement?” Shirai Kuroko pursed her lips as she realized that Bai Ye had quickly disappeared beyond the limits of her current abilities, and teleported in front of Misaka Mikoto.

"A statement? That's fine, but please hurry. I need to be back in the dorm before nine o'clock, or the dorm supervisor will be very angry." Misaka Mikoto, the "good girl," nodded.

"Very good." Shirai Kuroko wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of her mouth. "To prevent you from carrying any dangerous items, I have to be responsible for my companions, so please take off your clothes first, and I'll decide on a skirt later depending on the situation... Ah!"

"Pervert!" Misaka Mikoto snorted as she looked at the twin-tailed girl who had been electrocuted into a complete idiot, and then vanished before the disciplinary committee members who had been chasing after her.

"Kuroko? Kuroko?" Seeing her junior lying on the ground, her whole body twitching slightly, Kofumi quickly went over to check on her condition.

"Hoo~" Shirai Kuroko exhaled a puff of black smoke and looked at Kofunomi Miwa with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, senpai, I couldn't keep them both here again."

"It's alright. Although the man is undocumented, we've already confirmed the identity of the woman who just left. She's the third of the seven Level 5s, codenamed 'Railgun.' We can question her at the station tomorrow," Kofumi comforted her.

Railgun, huh...?

Shirai Kuroko nodded; she remembered the name!

Chapter 187 The so-called plan is just for sabotage.

To be honest, Bai Ye's sense of direction is definitely not bad. If she gets lost or can't find her target, it must be because there is a problem with the intelligence.

For example, this time, after knowing the exact location of the apartment, he arrived at the apartment in just a few minutes.

Now he's wondering if he'll get a beating from the enraged side if he goes in...

So, does this girl think she's some kind of Ximen Chuixue or Pinggu Yidianhong, taking a bath and fasting before killing someone?

Even if that's the case, I've already obtained Aleister's official authorization; who knows if blood will be spilled...

Looking at the woman inside the room, wrapped only in a bath towel and staring dumbfounded at herself floating outside the window, Bai Ye thought for a moment and gave her a thumbs up.

Even though she's flat-chested, I can't be too blunt. I need to at least give her some confidence in the future.

Accelerator: "..."

"Brother Bai, go die ten thousand times first!!!" A hairdryer smashed through the window and flew towards Bai Ye's head, but he casually swatted it away.

……

A few minutes later, the girl, who had changed back into her usual casual clothes, came downstairs and glared at Bai Ye with a displeased expression.

"I swear on my integrity, I didn't see anything I shouldn't have. In fact, I've only been there for a few seconds." Bai Ye innocently raised his hands.

"...Can we not talk about this anymore?" One side's eye twitched.

She believed Bai Ye when he said he didn't see anything, but if he didn't see anything, why didn't he show his thumb? Did he know that he almost couldn't resist tearing the whole building down in that instant?

"..." x2

They tacitly skipped over this somewhat unexpected turn of events, and one of them took out a phone that could display a map of Academy City in 3D projection. He then zoomed in on the area of ​​the Seventh District, stretched it further, and finally pointed to a red dot on it, saying, "This is where we are."

Then he pointed to another blue dot: "This is where the first experiment began."

Bai Ye glanced at the map and found that the distance between the two places wasn't very far, just a few blocks away from one of the apartment buildings...

"Let's go take a look first."

"Mm." One side nodded.

……

The two of them arrived at the place at exactly nine o'clock, but if they looked closely, they could still see a few people observing from the shadows... Hmm?

"Is this how your research institute is?" Looking at the group of people in white coats who were staring blankly and drooling, Bai Ye turned to look at one side speechlessly, only to find that she was also dumbfounded.

"That's impossible. Although I've never liked these guys, they're still mentally sound, even much smarter than the average person. Otherwise, they wouldn't be involved in this project."

"Something must have happened."

Shaking his head, Bai Ye swiftly defeated all the mentally impaired researchers with a single chop to the neck, then led a group of people inside.

Before they even went inside, they could hear the sounds coming from inside.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm asking you a question, don't just stay silent! What's your relationship with that flat-chested Misaka Mikoto? Is she her sister? Younger sister? Daughter?"

"Misaka 00001 doesn't understand the meaning of your question. I've already said before that it's Onee-sama." Misaka 00001 answered the question from the blond idiot in front of her with feigned helplessness, while secretly emphasizing her relationship with Onee-sama again.

"Who are you calling an idiot?!"

“I was definitely not talking about you.” Misaka 00001 avoided the blonde idiot’s gaze and began to lie.

"..."

“Now I can confirm that an accident really did happen.” After exchanging a glance with Yifang, Baiye quickened her pace and walked around the corner. The first thing she saw was a girl who looked exactly like Misaka Mikoto, whom she had met not long ago, except that she was wearing goggles. Opposite her, a girl wearing the same style of uniform as Misaka Mikoto, but with the addition of long gloves and white stockings, was glaring angrily at her.

Upon seeing Bai Ye and Yi Fang appear, the blonde girl was first taken aback, then her expression changed drastically.

"Huh, such a big reaction, have we seen this before?" Bai Ye looked at himself strangely; he was dressed perfectly normally.

"Brother Bai, stop being so narcissistic. She recognized me, didn't she?" The person next to him rolled their eyes. "Am I right? That guy over there, whose name we don't know, has been trying to hack into our brains using some unknown means ever since we came in?"

“…First place.” The girl’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"See, I told you so." Yifang glanced at Baiye smugly.

"Is it something to be proud of to scare a perfectly fine young woman like this?" Bai Ye scoffed, raising his hand to pat Yi Fang's head. "She doesn't seem to be a participant in the absolute ability user experiment, does she? Didn't you even do the most basic clearing work before the experiment started?"

"...Who knows what those guys are thinking, and stop messing with my hair!" Yi Fang slapped away Bai Ye's hand that was playing with her head.

"..."

Seeing the interaction between Bai Ye and the other girl, the blonde girl felt not relieved at all, but rather had a thorn in her side... According to the data issued by Academy City and the information she had collected over the years, the strongest people in Academy City should be the seven Level 5s, including herself. However, the Level 1 who was ranked first was so close to that man, and even the head pat only elicited some displeasure from her...

Either Bai Ye and the number one have a very good relationship, or even the number one thinks that it is impossible to fight against Bai Ye.

Although she herself hoped the truth was the former, as a queen whose talent lay in "understanding people's hearts," she knew all too well that things often didn't go as planned...

Ring ring ring~

"Hello, it's you again?" The caller ID was still just a string of gibberish.

“I’m considering whether to use force to expel you…” Aleister’s tone carried a hint of exasperation: “If you stay here any longer, my plan might completely collapse before it even begins.”

"I think you shouldn't have sent me your whole plan before. Now, listening to you doesn't feel very convincing..."

"Uh." Aleister blew another bubble.

Am I really too honest?

Chapter 188 A One-Stop Service for Controlling, Stunning, and Modifying Memories

After hanging up the phone, Bai Ye looked curiously at the blonde girl who was worth Aleister calling specifically to tell him and Yifang not to mess with her...

"Lucky little girl, I was planning to take you back and play with you for a couple of days, then slit your throat and throw you in the trash. But then someone called to say they wanted to bail you out—" Clutching his stomach where he'd just been elbowed, Bai Ye glared at Yi Fang with a dark expression: "Why did you hit me for no reason?"

"It's all because you suddenly started saying nonsensical things, Brother Bai. If I don't stop you, I think I might be considered a pervert along with you." Yifang glanced at him, then looked at the blonde girl: "You agree, right, the fifth-ranked mind control?"

"So you're a level 5 too. No wonder Aleister called me specifically... Wait, do you know Aleister?" Noticing a strange look flash in the girl's eyes when he said that name, Bai Ye looked at her curiously.

Even Yifang only learned of the chairman's name after chatting with the Dimensional Shop in Aiwas. How did he know about this person, whose name was not mentioned in the plans for the "Mass Production of Ability Users Project", the "Absolute Ability User Project", or the "Artificial Celestial Realm Project" which had not yet started?

"Haha, sir, you're joking. I'm just an ordinary student in Academy City. How could I possibly know the Chairman's name? I just felt that the name didn't sound like it came from here..."

"But I never said that Aleister was your chairman, did I?" Bai Ye looked at Yifang, seeking confirmation of the truth of her statement.

“Yes, I didn’t say that.” One side nodded.

"..."

Oh no, oh no, oh no! I just came out out of curiosity about why the Disciplinary Committee and the Security Department were making such a big fuss today, and now I've run into a girl in an alley who looks exactly like Misaka Mikoto, someone I've always had a grudge against. Then I read something in the minds of several researchers about an "Absolute Ability User Project" that I shouldn't be able to access in my current state. And now I'm very likely to have revealed the fact that I know his name in front of the Chairman...

Next, will a single order be sent directly to the secret service, resulting in their own demise?

While flashing what she considered a friendly smile at the white night and the first person in front of her, Misaki Shokuhou was already considering what to do next.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Based on my understanding of Aleister, there shouldn't be anything in Academy City that can be kept from him. The only difference is whether he has told you or not." Noticing that the girl's expression was not very good, Bai Ye kindly comforted her.

Misaki Shokuhou: "..."

Hearing you say that makes me feel even more terrified, doesn't it?

"By the way, according to Aleister, you're a smart person, so he thinks you should know what to say and what not to say after leaving here. So... if there's nothing else, please go ahead?"

"..."

It was certainly a good thing to be able to leave the obviously dangerous combination of Byakuya and Accelerator, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
