"By the way, do you feel that he seems different this time? It's like his life level has even improved?" Aiwas suddenly asked, observing Bai Ye's face through the screen.

"Wake up, now is not the time for you to be in heat."

"Ok?"

"What I said is the truth. Besides, although you can make males release some hormones now, you are ultimately just an avatar in a mortal body. Who knows if your true body has a hundred tentacles, three hundred eyes, and five hundred mouths..."

"Go die first, you bastard!"

boom--

Chapter 181 It doesn't seem so wrong for the robbers to hurt each other.

Looking at the chairman's residence spiraling upwards in front of them, Bai Ye and Yi Fang were both speechless.

Not long after, a security team arrived and set up a yellow line that read "No Entry"; a few minutes later, a middle-aged man with a frog-like face wearing a white coat got out of a car and hurriedly ran into the cordon.

Then there is no more.

Both Bai Ye and Accelerator were speechless.

"I'm now certain that the plan the tree diagram designer gave you is definitely flawed, otherwise Aleister wouldn't have gone to such lengths to avoid me."

One side: "..."

She knew perfectly well that it was wrong to criticize the chairman in her heart, but everything she saw from the moment the chairman's residence suddenly exploded seemed to confirm what Bai Ye had said!

"So what do we do next?" She originally just wanted to discuss things with Bai Ye and the chairman, but this unexpected turn of events has occurred. She thinks that given the current situation, it would be better to have Bai Ye bring a nuclear bomb over for a discussion!

When was the first test of this so-called Absolute Ability User Project?

"The notification is for tonight. It seems those guys are worried that things might change if it drags on." One side's voice carried a hint of displeasure.

What other changes could be considered changes for her besides Bai Ye?

The more I think about it, the more upset I get.

"It seems Aleister is determined to play dead and doesn't want to see us. In that case, I'll just stay here until tonight and see what happens with that so-called experiment... and also see what kind of guys can make that designer think that you can level up as long as you kill a certain number of people."

“Okay.” Upon hearing that Bai Ye was also staying, Yi Fang’s face lit up with a big smile.

It's 1 PM now, but the experiment is scheduled to start at 10 PM. They have nine hours to rest. Bai Ye originally wanted to take her to an amusement park or something, since the little one doesn't seem like the type to go to such places alone. However, just as Yi Fang nodded in agreement, a phone call from the research institute abruptly changed her plans.

So what was supposed to be a lovely trip for two turned into Bai Ye spending all her time alone at the amusement park watching couples showering everyone with their lovey-dovey moments...

Not bringing Jeanne Alter was probably his biggest mistake on this trip.

Seeing a couple not far away openly embracing and kissing each other, making "tsk tsk" sounds as they sucked on each other's saliva, Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then his lips began to twitch...

In broad daylight, in front of so many people, don't you guys even know how to consider the impact?

At this moment, Bai Ye seemed to feel the malice of the world towards him.

After taking a few bites of the ice cream cone, Bai Ye turned and walked straight out of the amusement park. Once on the street, the atmosphere was much better than in the amusement park; at least there weren't those filthy couples showing off their love in public.

Looking up through the window at the clock on the shop's wall, Bai Ye realized that it was still several hours before the meeting time he had arranged with Yi Fang. He touched his empty pockets, turned around, and walked into the bank to rob... well, I mean, withdraw some money.

Perhaps it's because the world is different, but Byakuya encountered the same situation in Academy City as in the world of Godkiller—while the opposite sex he saw at a glance weren't exactly stunningly beautiful or capable of captivating everyone, most of them were of average appearance.

While waiting in line, Bai Ye glanced at the black-stockinged legs of the girl with glasses in front of him and nodded... Not bad.

But what's with contacting the security guard? Do we need nicknames to withdraw money from the bank now?

Touching his chin, Bai Ye was about to utter a few words of complaint when a sudden gunshot interrupted his thoughts. Frowning, Bai Ye noticed a young man standing in the middle of the bank, looking flustered and carrying a travel bag. In his hand was a pistol, still smoking from being fired.

robbery?

Due to lack of a hall~

If the robber had only a gun, perhaps one or two people would have stood up to uphold justice. But with a gun... weighing the prowess of their own bodies against that of bullets, several figures in the crowd silently took a few steps back. They couldn't afford to mess with him.

"Miss, I see you still have the idea of ​​going out and fighting with the robbers?" Bai Ye asked in a low voice, nudging the shoulder of the girl with black stockings and glasses who was holding her breath.

"Hmm?" The woman with glasses looked at Bai Ye with hostility, as if she thought of him as a fellow robber.

"Don't look at me like that. His companions are over there. Do you see that hooded man over there?" Bai Ye gestured towards a hooded man in the crowd on the other side. "I can already see the knife he's hiding in his sleeve. Besides him, there's the one next to him. Is that an ability user? I can see his AIM field fluctuations. He seems very nervous."

Glasses Girl: "..."

After careful observation, she indeed noticed something amiss with the two people Bai Ye had pointed out. Considering the current situation, those two were either accomplices of the robber who had just fired the shot, or they had also planned to make a quick buck in a similar way, only to find that their colleagues had beaten them to it... In short, they were the type who could be utterly destroyed and sent to the police force for a "re-education."

But White Night...

After looking Bai Ye up and down, seeing no sign of panic, and considering what Academy City was, the bespectacled girl quickly came to a conclusion—

Is this someone with special abilities?

Moreover, they are level 4 powerful users or even level 5 superpower users. If they were only level 3 strong users, they would definitely not be so calm when facing armed robbers.

But is the moral education in Academy City's IDE really that bad? When faced with a robbery, instead of taking action to deal with the robbers when they were confident they could win, they just stood by and watched with a smile. That's really...

"Oh!" "Ah!"

boom!

Just as the girl with glasses was about to say something, things took an unexpected turn. A girl wearing knee-high socks rushed at the armed robber and quickly subdued him in close combat. However, at the same time, two of the robbers' accomplices in the crowd held knives to the neck of a little girl.

"To think that a little girl could defeat him, he really is a good-for-nothing!"

"That's right, but without him, we can get a bigger share of the money. We were planning to take care of him after we got out anyway."

Ok……

It's hard to imagine what the robber lying on the ground was thinking after hearing his accomplice's complaints.

Chapter 182 Being recognized for acts of bravery

"Sir, you..."

"Don't look at me, look at them." Bai Ye pointed with a wicked grin at the fierce little girl who had taken down the robber with a few punches and kicks.

Kofumi: "..."

From the perspective of a disciplinary committee member, she didn't really feel comfortable forcing Bai Ye to step forward at this time. She could only stand by and watch, trying to find an opportunity to help Hei Zi deal with the remaining two robbers.

Moreover, although Bai Ye didn't offer any help, he did provide some information that wasn't insignificant—

Of the remaining two robbers, the one with his hands in his pockets should be an Ability user, while the other robber, since it wasn't mentioned that he had an AIM field, shouldn't be one.

Premise: Bai Ye wasn't joking with him just now.

Holding her breath and watching the two robbers intently, Kofumi was ready to join the battle at any moment.

While the group was locked in a standoff, the lobby manager behind the counter didn't forget to make his move. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he glanced around, then his hand unconsciously reached for the alarm bell under the counter and pressed it.

Ring ring ring…

A piercing alarm sounded, followed by the closure of the security doors around the bank, completely sealing it off.

Kofumi was speechless... In this situation, he actually pressed the alarm. Was this idiot worried that the robbers hadn't been stimulated enough and was afraid that something would happen in early spring?

After the alarm sounded, the security robots inside the bank, which had been dormant, automatically activated. After scanning everyone in the bank with their electronic eyes, they quickly located the two robbers and rolled towards them.

Although the two robbers seemed quite flustered, Bai Ye felt that the robot was more like...acting cute?

In short, it's something like that; it just doesn't look fierce enough.

It wasn't just Bai Ye who thought the robot was better suited for being cute; the superhuman among the robbers also did. As the protective robot rushed towards him, a fireball instantly appeared in his hand, which he hurled at the robot.

Having no options to deal with similar situations, the robot naturally exploded under the fireball, scattering debris in all directions. Just as Kofune Miu was about to rush over to save Kuroko, she suddenly realized…

An invisible wall blocked the scattered fragments.

“Wait, now I finally remember why you look familiar… Your ability was ‘absolute constant speed,’ right?” Stepping out from the shadows, Bai Ye looked at the robber holding the knife and asked with certainty.

Didn't Aleister say that all these useless people who were stripped of their abilities had been sent out of Academy City to prevent them from causing any trouble? How come there's still one left here?

"How did you know... wait, it was you?"

Upon seeing Bai Ye's face clearly, the robber's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He finally remembered why Bai Ye, who was facing away from him, looked so familiar the moment he walked in, and he also remembered the source of the unease that had been lingering in his heart ever since he signaled to that coward with the gun...

Isn't this the same demon who used to chat and laugh with the chairman, and then stripped him of his abilities with just a piece of paper, smashing his last bit of pride to pieces?

"Hey, can your abilities melt down the security door outside the bank?" The man asked in a low voice as he dragged the little girl he was holding hostage a few steps back and got closer to his accomplice.

"Sure, why?"

“That guy…” The knife-wielding robber looked at Bai Ye fearfully: “We can’t afford to mess with that guy. If we can escape now before he gets serious, there’s still a sliver of hope.”

"Run away? Are you kidding me!" His accomplice looked at him like he was an idiot. "Don't forget how much preparation we made for this operation. And if we steal enough money this time, you and I can live a happy life from now on."

"Excuse me for interrupting, but you didn't even cover your faces. Do you think the bank won't even turn on the surveillance cameras, or are you planning to leave Academy City and run away after robbing this one?" Bai Ye raised his hand to interrupt the argument between the two robbers who looked a bit comical.

"..."xN

Damn it? ! !

At this moment, the eyes of the two robbers who were still standing twitched simultaneously.

Before they even started their operation, they had thoroughly investigated everything from the bank's security system to the patrol schedules of the disciplinary committee members in the area, and even the nearby ability users who might get involved. Why didn't any of them think about the surveillance issue?

"Wait, did you really not expect there to be surveillance cameras?" Bai Ye tilted his head, noticing the complex expressions on the two robbers' faces.

"Shut up, when did it become your turn to spout nonsense!" The ability user was clearly in a state of embarrassment and anger after his embarrassing mistake was exposed, and threw a fireball at Bai Ye.

"Whoosh—" Bai Ye slowly blew out a breath.

Although there are countless ways to crush noobs, Bai Ye has recently discovered that the "wind" avatar is becoming more and more useful, especially when someone who is clearly not your opponent attacks you. Blowing a breath like this is cool enough and you don't have to worry about any accidents messing up your hairstyle.

"Damn it..." The igniter instantly became like his companion, covered in sweat.

That alone would make someone a level 4 superpower user, right?

As for why I don't suspect he's a Level 5—it's a simple calculation. There are seven Level 5s in Academy City. Although some of them are still in an "unknown" state, the probability of running into one while robbing a bank is one in several million. If I really had that kind of luck, then the lottery ticket I bought this morning wouldn't have failed to even win the five-dollar consolation prize!

However, it seems that for me, the difference between level 4 and level 5 is not that significant.

I can't beat either of them anyway ╯□╰

boom!

He threw a fireball into the path between himself and Bai Ye to obstruct Bai Ye's view. The robber, whose ability was to ignite, then threw another fireball at the security door, using the explosive properties of the flames to break it open, preparing to escape... Even if he still had hostages, thinking about robbing money at this time would be brain-dead.

"So why are you running so fast? I'm not a bad person." Shaking his head, Bai Ye caught the hostage thrown by the robbers and placed her next to the woman with the eye. He then blocked the two robbers' path with a swift movement and took them both down with a single chop to the neck.

After doing all that, Bai Ye handed an A4-sized sheet of paper to the person with the ability to ignite: "Good boy, just sign this and I'll pretend today's events never happened, and I can guarantee that no one will come after you because of this incident, how about it?"

"!!!" The knife-wielding robber, who had been stripped of his "absolute constant speed" by a similar method and became powerless, narrowed his eyes. He wanted to dissuade his companion, but was stopped by Bai Ye's glare and dared not make a sound.

Just as another lamb was about to fall into the jaws of Bai Ye's wolf, a woman's voice, deliberately in a cold tone, suddenly came from outside the hole that the robber had just opened.

"Hey, you robber over there... It's a bit outrageous of you to be bullying two strangers at a time like this."

Along with it, a beam of yellow light almost grazed the bank and pierced through it.

The robber... is he talking about me?

Looking back at the girl outside with her arms outstretched and staring at him, Bai Ye tilted his head, puzzled... So what exactly made him look like a robber?!

Chapter 183 White - The First Generation Delinquent Punisher - Night

"What, is there something else you want to say?" Seeing Bai Ye looking at her without speaking, the girl frowned her delicate brows.

"So...why are you so sure I'm the robber?"

"Isn't that right?" The girl looked around.

The completely destroyed security robot, the gunman lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, the two men trembling under Bai Ye, and the disciplinary committee member (young) watching Bai Ye warily—any normal person could guess what happened from this scene, right?

“Um… Miss, I am Kofumi Miwa, a member of the 177th branch of the Disciplinary Committee. I can testify that this gentleman is not a robber. The one lying on the ground and those two over there are the robbers.” The woman with black stockings and glasses explained to Bai Ye, while taking out the Disciplinary Committee armbands and putting them on to prove her identity.

"Uh..." The girl's face turned crimson at a visible speed.

So, after finally deciding to actually do something heroic, did you end up targeting the wrong person?

Fortunately, his railgun shot was only intended as a warning to Bai Ye, and he didn't aim it at him directly. Otherwise, things would have gotten really messy.

"So could you please sign this contract first? If you find signing troublesome, leaving a fingerprint is fine too." Taking this opportunity, Bai Ye also grabbed the wrist of the ability user robber who was trying to slip away and made him leave his fingerprint on the contract: "Done."

Looking at the sealed card that seemed to float in mid-air in front of him, Bai Ye nodded in satisfaction and put it away.
