Intelligence

After some interrogation... or rather, the prisoners very willingly and voluntarily confessed, Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi got a general understanding of their situation.

They were originally just a group of 'Quirk' lower-class people, living a dull and monotonous life day after day, constantly fearing that one day they would suddenly be caught up in the battle between 'heroes' and 'enemies' and become the unfortunate victim, unable to even leave their names and appearances in this world. Even if they appeared in the news because of their deaths, they would be the kind of corpses that had to be pixelated and used only as background.

Until one day, on their normal way home from get off work, they suddenly heard a voice from the depths of their hearts.

The voice repeatedly asked them if they wanted to know the meaning of life, if they wanted true survival, and if they wanted the power they had always dreamed of.

Without a doubt, the prisoners here were all those who couldn't resist the temptation and ultimately chose to listen to the seduction of that voice.

They followed the voice's instructions, waited at a certain location, and then lost consciousness without realizing it. When they awoke, they found themselves in a sealed-off environment.

They underwent 'Quirk' endowment surgery there and subsequently underwent three months of training.

Some of the best performers were taken elsewhere, while others who performed terribly or wanted to quit were treated like pigs being slaughtered by their trainers.

Each time a companion dies, they receive an extra meal, with a large amount of meat added to their diet for the day.

They didn't dare ask where the bodies of their companions had gone, nor did they dare to think about it deeply. All they had left of that place was a fear etched into their very bones.

After three months of training, those who were still alive, at the very least, had basically mastered the 'Quirk' they were given. They were then transported to a nearby city to begin the recent attack on the 'United'.

It was only at this point that they realized that the 'Quirk' they were given were actually very unstable. If used in the short term, it would be fine, but if used for a long time under high load, it would become increasingly difficult to control, eventually turning them into giant human bombs.

It was only at this moment that they realized they were nothing more than discarded pawns, mere props used as expendable resources.

Once they realized this, they quickly lost the courage to continue fighting.

Those guys who had become mentally warped during the three months of training mostly died in their battle against the 'United'.

By now, these prisoners had long since given up on using their 'Quirk'. In fact, due to the energy they had expended during this period, they had developed a severe psychological trauma related to 'Quirk'. They wished they could uproot their 'Quirk' from their bodies and throw them far away, wishing they had never had them at all and would never have them again in their lives.

This made Uraraka Shige think of those guys wearing bird-beak masks. If he wanted to eliminate his own 'Quirk', finding them might be a good idea. They probably needed some test subjects for experiments, and this might just be the perfect opportunity for the Shie Hassaikai cooperate with the 'United' and get involved in the fight against the remnants of 'AFO'.

... Yes, he's thinking about this again.

When Uraraka Shige told the prisoners that there might be a way to eliminate their 'Quirk', the overjoyed prisoners then told Uraraka Shige some unexpected news.

According to them, during the 'Quirk' endowment surgery, some of them saw a jar containing a brain in a dark corner. Logically, this shouldn't be anything to worry about. However, some of them noticed that the brain was actually alive. Moreover, during the surgery, some of them felt that the surgery was just a cover-up, and that the brain was the most important and crucial core entity.

These words didn't give Uraraka Shige any ideas, but Sakinagi suddenly thought of someone who should already be dead.

However, he did not rashly tell Uraraka Shige this guess directly, but kept it to himself and waited until he could verify it before making a decision.

However, one's mind inevitably wanders as a result, generating one bold idea after another. But like the previous associations, these ideas are all kept to oneself, not spoken, but silently hidden in one's heart, waiting for an opportunity to test their truthfulness before deciding whether to speak them out.

After learning about these events and obtaining this intelligence, Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi did not linger there. Instead, they met with several executives from the 'United' organization stationed nearby and proposed the idea of bringing in another force to participate in the joint effort against the remnants of 'AFO'.

Several "joint" cadres said they would report to Yamato, then discuss the matter together, and make a decision after serious deliberation.

Satisfied with this reply Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi left together.

They should go and find news of the Shie Hassaikai.

After all, if the goal is to promote cooperation between the 'Unity' and the Shie Hassaikai, then at least both sides need to be contacted and notified. This way, if either side is unwilling to cooperate, they will know as soon as possible, avoiding a lot of trouble.

As for the unpleasant incident that happened between the 'young master' and them in that underground bar, Uraraka Shige certainly hadn't forgotten it. But now his 'Quirk' had awakened, and even if he faced that situation again, he was confident that he could control the situation. In any case, no matter what, he could still escape unscathed, and it would definitely be easier than last time.

In that case, Uraraka Shige naturally doesn't need to feel any Burden about it.

However, before that, they actually had something even more important to do... They had to visit Gu Yu's family again.

Several days passed quickly. After apologizing to the Gu Yu once again and enduring their insults and accusations, Uraraka Shige and Sakinagi arrived at the entrance of the Shie Hassaikai's headquarters.

After briefly explaining their purpose, they were unsurprisingly turned away by the members of the Shie Hassaikai.

This made Uraraka Shige consider the importance of fame, and then he made what he thought was the right choice... to call in.
