Exposed

Dabi had already decided to compromise, so he had no intention of making things difficult for Jilan Jiyu. He ordered, "Nomu, escort our two distinguished guests over."

Jilan noticed that while Dabi was speaking, his hand was inside his belt, as if he had pressed some button.

Upon hearing Dabi's command, Nomu retracted its other six arms into its body, carrying only one person in each arm as it walked to Jilan. Saliva dripped from its mouth, which was sealed by the barbell, onto the ground, accompanied by a roar.

"You have to understand, after all, these two ladies have already fainted, and we don't have any suitable candidates, so we can only send out the Nomu." Dabi smiled smugly.

"Since you want it so badly, you can have the Ragdoll." Jilan twirled the marbles in her hand, then threw them forcefully at Dabi. "But let's see if you can get it!"

Reflexively, Dabi wanted to raise his hand to burn the marble with his blue flames, but Twice immediately lunged at him, grabbed his hand, and hurriedly said, "You can't use your Quirk! What if you burn the person inside!"

With just a moment's hesitation, Dabi missed catching the marble, which brushed past them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jilan picked up Jiro and Hagakure from the Nomu's arms. The Nomu received the order, did not attack Jilan, but simply watched Jilan move.

Jilan put the two down, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw the Kurogiri extending its body, creating a space in the darkness to get the marbles.

Twice took the marble from Kurogiri's hand and examined it closely. "Is that Pro Hero Ragdoll inside such a small ball right now? How amazing...!"

Dabi then helped the unconscious Magician to his feet and replied, "That's the Magician's Quirk — Compress. Only he can restore what's sealed inside the sphere to its original state, so he's essential."

"The deal is done, you should let us go now, right?" Jilan said calmly as she backed away, carrying Jiro on her back and holding Hagakure in her arms.

"Wait, Jilan," Kurogiri said, "There's one more thing. Are you really unwilling to join us? You've betrayed Ragdoll for your comrades. If others find out, you'll face societal condemnation. If you join us and become a member of our League of Villains, you can ignore all of this!"

Come on, join us!

Faced with the invitation from the Kurogiri, Jilan simply retreated, calmly saying, "Allow me to refuse; I haven't reached the end of my rope yet."

"What a pity," the Kurogiri sighed. "Master clearly values you so much."

"I have no interest in that kind of attention," Jilan replied, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to be following, she turned to leave.

"Hey, you over there, wait a minute," Dabi suddenly said.

Have we been discovered...?

"Huh? Dabi, what's wrong? Didn't we say we were going to let him go?" Twice asked, puzzled.

Dabi took the marble from Twice's hand and examined it closely. "I saw the Magician demonstrate his Quirk before. When someone is sealed inside his marble, a murky gas is produced inside—the air breathed by the person sealed inside. But now..."

Dabi released a wisp of blue flame from his hand, and the marble in his hand shimmered with a pale blue fluorescence, but the Tyndall effect was not produced inside at all.

Twice suddenly realized and shouted, "I get it! That guy Jilan gave us a fake!"

"So, we've been tricked." The flames in Dabi's hand instantly intensified, and without hesitation, he unleashed a roaring blue fire dragon towards Jilan!

Jilan had a premonition; the moment she felt the burning sensation on her back, she lunged towards the ground, dodging Dabi's attack, and then ran away as fast as she could.

The marble that Jilan gave to the League of Villains couldn't possibly actually contain Ragdoll. Instead, she switched it with an empty marble and threw it to them. She thought that since the Magician was unconscious, they wouldn't be able to reassemble the marble, so she could barely get away with it. But she didn't expect that there was such a way to identify marbles.

Seeing that Jilan had dodged the attack and was even fleeing quickly, Dabi felt no anger but instead laughed, "Hehe... It seems I guessed right, Jilan Jiyu really did use their cleverness to give us a fake."

"Dabi, what do you mean by this!" Twice screamed, covering his face. "Does that mean you didn't actually know if the marbles were real or fake? Was your attack just an attempt to back out and kill him?!"

"Well, you could say that, but it turns out my attempt was correct. Jilan Jiyu really didn't give us the real thing, did they?" Dabi shrugged, pulling out a button-like device from his pocket. "Now, it's time for the Nomu to work. Nomu, go, kill him."

They just started doing it without warning, they have no professional ethics at all... Jilan cursed inwardly.

Although he didn't really have the right to say that... Anyway, he now has two burdens on him, and he can't escape them. He can only wait for reinforcements to come to him.

Jilan threw Jiro and Hagakure one after another into the haystack to his right, then turned to face the Nomu that was chasing after him.

Its name is Nomu, but in Jilan's eyes, this enemy is simply an eight-armed demon. Apart from the two arms on its shoulders, the ends of the remaining six arms are equipped with electric drills, chainsaws, giant hammers, heavy axes... all of which are deadly weapons that will draw blood if they are even slightly touched.

But there was no other way; in order to buy time, Jilan had to stop and fight here!

"After this is over, I'll be waiting for you to repay my life-saving grace!" Jilan complained, his body rippling with Hamon as he charged towards the Nomu!

"Sunlight Yellow Hamon Overdrive!" Jilan's attack didn't hit the Nomu, but instead slammed heavily into the trees on either side!

Seeing this, Twice, seemingly worried for Jilan, covered his head and exclaimed, "Has this guy lost his mind? Does he think he can snap a two-meter-wide tree in half?!"

"Killer Queen".

Concealed by the dazzling golden light of the Sunlight Yellow Hamon Overdrive, Jilan actually changed his fist into a palm, and his palm touched the lower part of the tree. To the astonishment of the three members of the League of Villains, the tree actually snapped in half and smashed towards the Nomu!

"Takizawa Laura!"

Twice was still yelling incoherently, "No way!? That tree really broke! I think there's something wrong with my eyes!"

Although the tree crashed down on the Nomu, the Nomu was incredibly strong. Even though his body was already embedded in the ground, his eight arms managed to block the falling tree, hoisting it onto his shoulders and rapidly slicing it with the weapons on his arms!

Jilan crouched in the tree, her fists, writhing with Hamon, pounding repeatedly on the tree above the Nomu creature. "You think you're a lumberjack?!"

The Nomu its body, and Jilan's flesh and blood body couldn't possibly fight it head-on. So he used the big tree as a prop to isolate the Nomu's weapons while attacking it from a distance, pinning the guy under the tree and preventing him from moving.

As long as you find a moment of weakness in the Nomu, and slow it down when its weapon overheats, Jilan will use Killer Queen to pat it down and blow the guy up completely!

Jilan had this plan in mind.
