A Crushing Blow / The Three People Eating

"Then you can pretend I'm a ghost."

"A ghost? If he's a ghost, he should go back to his grave. Men, kill him, he's all alone."

Although the underlings were somewhat afraid, they still mustered their courage and charged forward.

And just like that, a chaotic battle suddenly broke out.

The red-haired man's fighting skills were indeed top-notch; he easily dispatched all of the opponent's men. Seeing this, Hebi Valley turned pale with fright and fled on the spot.

"It was solved so easily."

Railgun handed the milk to the other person.

How are you feeling?

"It's alright, just a little tired." Railgun suddenly remembered their previous conversation, and recalling Kurotama's certain intuitions, she said, "You're the one who's Kurohime's wife, aren't you?"

"That's what people used to call me."

He picked up the milk with a smile and took a sip with relish.

"Glug, milk really is the best..."

"Musashino Milk." The second half of the sentence was picked up by another girl.

Turning around, I realized that Sister Gufua was standing right behind me.

"Sister Gufua," Kuroko blurted out.

Black Wife paused, then turned to look at the girl who had suddenly appeared.

"Long time no see, Mei Wei."

Railgun and Kuroko were clearly in a daze.

"Senior, you're still alive?"

Kurotama glanced at the two of them without saying a word, then darted away into the distance.

"Kurotama, what are you going to do?" Railgun shouted.

"Seize Hebi Valley."

"No need. There will be a major operation soon to thoroughly cleanse the Big Spider."

Kuroko's words made Kurotama stop in her tracks.

Sister Gufua and Kurotsuma Watari only exchanged a few words before Hei Qi turned and left.

Kurotama was, of course, aware of what had happened between the two of them. The Sister Gufua, Gu Fa, who had once been despondent because she couldn't break through to level 3, had found a place within the Armed Un-Ability Group and wanted to stay there indefinitely. Of course, problems arose along the way; for example, after her abilities were exposed, Kuroko advised her to leave the Armed Un-Ability Group.

The end of everything probably stemmed from the betrayal of Hebi Valley.

"This Academy City, so many people are really going to great lengths to improve their abilities."

With a soft sigh, Kurotama prepared to return to the dormitory with Railgun and the others.

However, at this moment, Railgun suddenly looked at her with an incredulous gaze.

"You don't have any other abilities, do you? Your intuition is too accurate, and then there was the cooking last time, or the healing. I'm starting to suspect that you're a legendary multi-ability user."

"Of course not." Kurotama' lips twitched.

Once the true composite ability is confirmed, Kurotama suspects that the academy's higher-ups will immediately come to capture him and use him as a guinea pig.

But her performance is practically indistinguishable from her ability to recover.

"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this. My so-called intuition is just inference based on people's expressions and actions, and the whole story," Kurotama said embarrassedly.

"Like a detective?" Railgun was taken aback.

"Right!"

Chapter 224 A Complete Strike

Two days later...

"Kurotama, the operation against the Big Spider has begun. You can come and help now."

"OK".

After hanging up Kuroko's call, Kurotama straightened her clothes and prepared to leave the academy.

Walking through the corridors of Tokiwadai, she suddenly overheard some girls whispering among themselves.

"The Queen seems to be showing up quite often lately, and she seems to be in a bad mood."

"I understand, I understand. It's because you failed to confess to Misaka Senpai."

"Shh, that's not the reason. She seemed to emphasize that she never confessed her feelings. Even if someone impersonated her and caused this."

Do you believe it? I certainly don't.

"Tsk."

Sure enough, they found it.

Kurotama's expression remained impassive, though she was slightly nervous inside.

Shokuhou Misaki is probably investigating this matter, but to protect her reputation, she'll likely try to erase the memories of those who know the truth. So, those who can still chat privately are probably people who don't have much contact with the Queen and have been ignored.

"I'll use her body to confess to the dorm supervisor next time, hmph."

Although it's a bit morbid, doing it this way can improve your control over the clones.

Unlike Yuno, Shokuhou Misaki's personality has fewer side effects, and since Su Lin herself has no experience with Touma, there are almost no side effects.

At that time, whatever you do will be the same as what the original body did, and since the abilities are exactly the same, no one will be able to tell the difference.

Just then, a slightly unhappy-looking girl with long, golden hair walked over from the other end of the aisle, accompanied by two other girls.

Kurotama Eyes pretended not to recognize her and calmly walked past her.

However, just as they brushed past each other, Shokuhou Misaki suddenly curled her lips into a sly smile and slowly turned her head away.

"Oh my, isn't this our academy's newest LV5?"

In an instant, all the students' eyes were focused on Kurotama.

"Wow, so she really is the new LV5. I only recently learned about her ability to create clones."

"Now Tokiwadai really has three Level 5s. I heard that the latest one also showed monstrous strength during the test. Like Misaka Senpai, he's the Combat Type."

Grass!

Kurotama keenly noticed the whispers around her, touched her forehead, and turned to ask, "Are you the Queen of Tokiwadai?"

"Don't be so formal, we're all classmates from the same school."

Her incredibly alluring voice made Kurotama feel like his bones were melting.

As expected, my imitation wasn't quite right. Why does this guy's tone sound so "sinister"?

"I heard you and Misaka are very close."

Shokuhou Misaki's words stirred something in Kurotama's heart, and she smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that Her Queen likes Misaka Senpai. How about I try to help you two get together?"

Shokuhou Misaki: "..."

An awkward silence.

So what's going on? Damn it, when did I ever confess to Misaka? Why do these people have these kinds of memories in their heads?

Suppressing her displeasure, the Queen took out a remote control from her bag and smiled, "Don't believe other people's rumors."

The button was pressed.

[Subject to Mental Interference.]

The system notification arrived as expected.

However, at the same time, Kurisu Makise was researching the Time Machine in her dormitory, was in a synchronized state. Coupled with the system's protection of her mind, it seemed that she was also encountering an awkward situation similar to an electromagnetic barrier.

Furthermore, Railgun feels pain when her barrier is affected by Mental Control, but Kurotama has no recollection of it.

"That's strange, my abilities don't work on you either."

This was the third time Shokuhou Misaki visibly bewildered.

At least Touma gets dizzy when affected by his own abilities, and only touching his forehead with his right hand can eliminate the side effects. As for Railgun, needless to say, she always cries out in pain. Only this guy is truly unaffected.

"My ability is to create clones. If I have a body in another place, you'll have to affect all of them at the same time. Otherwise... even if you change my mental state, it will be instantly corrected in sync."

Just as software can change local data but not server data, the guy in front of Shokuhou Misaki is a very difficult opponent.

"Hmph, I thought Misaka-san was difficult to talk to, but I didn't expect you to be the same. I just can't get along with people I can't interfere with."

Gradually moving away from Kurotama, the guy silently turned his back and walked away, his mind a mystery.

He glanced back at the other person's back, wiped away Kurotama cold sweat, and let out a soft breath.

"I have to admit, this guy is kind of cute, but his chest is just too exaggerated."

During this period, it's best to avoid using Shokuhou Misaki's clones in front of the main body at night; they're really... too tempting.

Having made up her mind, Kurotama quickened her pace and left Tokiwadai Academy in a short time.

An hour later, in the territory of the Big Spider —Strange.

As a large number of security personnel, holding Riot Shield, slowly pressed towards the enemy's territory, countless armed but powerless individuals were filled with terror.

Meanwhile, the vanguard, led by Shirai Kuroko and other Judgement, along with the red-haired Kurotsuma Watari herself, went directly to the Big Spider's lair and met Hebi Valley.

The man was extremely nervous, and his voice trembled as he faced his former boss who had stormed in alone.

"You bastard..."

"Yes, I'm here. I think you should know that I'm very strong."

After saying that, Black Wife stepped forward and punched each of the henchmen blocking her way, knocking them to the ground.

"Not bad, you are very strong. But... you will also be defeated by numbers and weapons, just like those other ability users."

After saying that, Hebi Valley's henchmen simultaneously raised their pistols and pointed them at Black Widow.

"Stop it."

At this moment, Sister Gufua had been standing outside the door, went inside.

Hebi Valley's expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed, "Sister Gufa!"

"You've become despicable, Hebi Valley- kun. Not only are you bullying others, but you're also wielding weapons."

Sister Gufua's words made the other party waver slightly, but the armband on her hand made Hebi Valley harden his heart again.

"You've betrayed us by becoming Judgement, what are you still saying? Attack!"

"There's no chance anymore."

Kuroko's steel needle simultaneously pierced the guns of these men.

Misaka Mikoto fired A Certain Scientific Railgun, completely destroying the Ability Down device through the wall.

Kurotama was even more decisive; the moment Draw Cut, he severed half of the house in two.

Chapter 225 Three People Eating

Hearing the surrounding walls suddenly "boom," Hebi Valley was genuinely startled.

However, he had no idea what was going on, only that he was facing the most critical situation he had ever encountered in his life.

"How about giving me a chance to shine this time?"

Sister Gufua, who wanted to show off in front of the black wife, was unwilling to let the several high-level ability users who were about to make a move take action.

She offered to do it herself.

Then, we saw Gu Fa use her special ability to see through things, combined with Hei Qi's domineering physical skills, to easily subdue everyone outside of Hebi Valley.

Forced into a corner, Hebi Valley decided to take a gamble and took off his coat, revealing the explosives strapped to his body.
