Chapter 105
After taking control of Dabi, Uraraka Shige and the others easily obtained the information they had been longing for about the remaining forces of 'AFO' from him.
Although Dabi's knowledge was extremely limited, he only had one address that he used to contact the remaining forces of 'AFO'.
But this ultimately gave Uraraka Shige and the others a clue and a way out.
Next, all we need to do is follow the clues and explore step by step. As long as nothing unexpected happens along the way and the clues are not lost, we will eventually find all the remaining members of the 'AFO' force.
... Although whether they can actually win is another matter...
While Uraraka Shige and the others finally obtained the information they wanted from Dabi, the 'passerby' from before had already relayed the news of Dabi's capture to someone else via telephone.
"... As expected, these kinds of guys are unreliable. So, what about those 'Nomu'? How are they doing?"
If Uraraka Shige and the others heard this voice, they would definitely find it extremely familiar.
"Yes, regarding those 'Nomu,' they were all captured as well. However... there's something strange. It seems that Dabi took the initiative to issue the order, ceasing all Nomu."
The "fake passerby" carefully covered his phone, looking very respectful. After hearing the voice on the other end of the line, he subconsciously nodded and bowed, answering first before replying.
After he answered, the voice on the other end of the phone rang again.
"Hmm... He gave the order on his own initiative? Is Dabi injured?"
"Yes, Dabi doesn't seem to have suffered any injuries. He's given up resisting on his own, and... and Dabi's flames had clearly engulfed those guys, but then he suddenly stopped and extinguished them. It's like..."
The stranger continued to act very respectfully, but the person on the other end of the phone showed no appreciation whatsoever.
"No, it seems so! I don't need your guesses; they'll only cloud my judgment! Just report everything you see to me truthfully, and don't waste time on unnecessary speculation!"
After a cold reprimand, the voice on the other end of the phone paused briefly before delivering a new instruction.
"Given Dabi's personality, it's impossible for him to switch sides so easily... It seems he's been controlled by Sakinagi Shushin's 'Quirk'... That guy, only his 'Quirk' hasn't been fully investigated by me... You come back first, and while you're at it, call back the guys who're with Twice and Toga as well, and each of you take a few low-quality animals. I have something new for you to do."
The phrase "passerby pretends to be respectful" is appropriate, but there's still some ambiguity, prompting an instinctive questioning.
"Yes. But what about Twice and Toga? Shouldn't we send people to keep an eye on them?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was very dissatisfied with the 'fake passerby's' reaction.
"Don't doubt my decision! Your thinking is worthless! Just do as I say!"
The call ended there. 'Passerby Fake' waited silently for a moment, then put his phone in his pocket. Suddenly, the veins on his face bulged, and he became incredibly ferocious.
"A mere bunch of newcomers... a bunch of juniors... how dare you treat me like this?! Bastards!"
Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, in the top-floor manager's office of a shopping mall, Heavy Water Shui hung up the phone with a grave expression, then turned to another person in the room and asked with concern:
"Qu Zhi... doing this... is it really effective?"
Qu Zhi's expression also looked quite heavy. He nodded heavily, his movements slow and deliberate.
"After all, you should have learned by now what a behemoth the force left behind by 'AFO' is... No matter how hard Uraraka Shige and the others try from the outside, it will be difficult to wipe them all out. Some will inevitably escape, causing endless trouble... We must infiltrate the enemy's ranks, cause internal strife, and fish in troubled waters to ensure absolute success."
Heavy Water looked at Qu Zhi and nodded heavily.
"Yes! I believe you!"
Then he turned and left the office... This office was assigned to Qu Zhi by the remnants of 'AFO', and to prevent his identity from being exposed, he couldn't stay here any longer.
Qu Zhi silently sat back down in the executive chair behind his desk. A Dark Shadow flashed by, and Shadow Transformation appeared just one desk away from him.
"Qu Zhi... Did Heavy Water really betray us?"
Qu Zhi's face showed an added touch of sadness compared to before.
He nodded heavily, then asked a question in return.
"Didn't you see it with your own eyes? Then that's probably it... Our plan needs some adjustments to ensure safety... Give me some time to think it over..."
Shadow Transformation looked bewildered and pained. He nodded sluggishly, then activated his 'Quirk', and his figure vanished instantly.
Qu Zhi silently turned his head in his chair, staring out the window. Unconsciously, a horrifying smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were filled with a greedy and indulgent pleasure.
'Please don't disappoint me... I've already left you with so many 'loopholes,' at least let me experience more pleasure, let me feel some challenge... Then, in the end, I will inherit everything left behind by 'AFO,' and properly utilize these precious assets to gain a voice in this country, and then control everything in this country. Whether I save it or destroy it, it will surely bring me enough pleasure, right? It will surely make me understand what I truly need, what can truly fill the emptiness in my heart, and what it truly is...'
'And you, Gu Yu! Be my chosen All Might, help me achieve everything I desire! And ultimately become the first stepping stone for me to fool the world~'
Meanwhile, Gu Yu and the others, whom he had been plotting against, were rushing headlong toward the first trap he had set for them.
However, everything in this world has a crucial connection, just like every thread and every node in a spider's web.
The moment you gently touch this spot, the vibration will spread throughout the entire spider web.
However, if someone perfectly overlaps two spider webs, even if they appear to be far apart and not closely connected, they can still be intertwined.
If the spider web were completely flipped over, the original left side might very well become the right side.
Will Gu Yu, Uraraka Shige, and the others, whom he is secretly plotting against, really follow his plan step by step?
