I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

Under a gloomy sky, construction teams arrived at the construction site of Academy City. Subsequently, under the command of the team brought by Aleister, various facilities were set up one by one.

At this moment, Li Chengcai truly witnessed the extent of the power that a top global technology capital giant could wield.

As one of the world's largest conglomerates, the Aleister Group possesses capital and technology comparable to many major powers. For various reasons, Li Cheng had remained unaware of these things for a long time. His limited knowledge meant he only knew about the Aleister Group's amusement park near his residence and the nearby food street. But this time, watching the countless small drones rising into the sky, Li Cheng had to admit he was astonished.

Drones carrying purification techniques are used to disperse the toxic cloud and prevent the pollution from continuing. In areas where the pollution cloud is too dense, a loaded purification cannon is used. The timing and angle of the explosion are calculated in advance so that the purification bomb is detonated directly in the center of the toxic cloud to quickly clean up the pollution.

The soil on the ground was directly covered up. Aleister used a brand-new construction device, a unique technology called the revealing device, which can directly unfold a pre-designed building to cover the original land.

The construction process of the streets and buildings was completely omitted. The buildings grew rapidly, as if they were plants with the ability to reproduce on their own, and soon covered large areas of filthy land.

"By using rapid covering technology to directly cover the contaminated land, and then releasing pre-prepared techniques downwards through planted purifying plants, the contaminated land can be effectively purified in the long term. Furthermore, the contact layer between the covered land and the contaminated soil itself has a well-prepared isolation layer, which can effectively prevent the contaminated soil from eroding upwards and damaging the buildings of Academy City."

Standing in the demonstration room, Aleister used a virtual projector to display a cross-sectional view of Academy City, calmly explaining his plans. Outside, more construction teams, carrying more display equipment, continued to advance to other parts of the land. A beautifully designed and magnificent future city was being perfected at an unbelievable speed.

"What exactly is that display device? It's way too amazing..."

Through the gap, Li Cheng could clearly see a skyscraper dozens of stories high rising from the ground. Bricks, stones, and mortar seemed to possess a mind of their own, flying up, combining, and bonding together before finally taking shape. The construction teams didn't need to work as hard as ordinary workers; they simply activated a device, and a force automatically controlled the building materials, preparing them according to the requirements for constructing the house.

In Li Cheng's view, such technology was simply unbelievable.

"The manifestation technology is supposedly a top-secret technology that the Aleister Group has only recently successfully developed," came the voice of Mikiya Kurogiri from the communicator. He had somehow been switched to the communication channel of the Sixth Group. "It completely digitizes every part of a building's structure, provides the corresponding amount of raw materials, and then directly reproduces the structure of the building through data manifestation. It's an extremely complex composite technology that combines science and magic. I never thought I would witness it in person today."

Kurogiri Mikiya's voice rarely contained a hint of joy, but unlike the astonishment of someone as ignorant as Li Cheng, he was simply happy that a technology that could benefit humanity had been successfully put into practical use.

Oda Nobueshi stood on the outskirts of the under-construction Academy City, dressed no differently from the curious onlookers. However, Li Cheng quickly recognized him through the surveillance cameras. With this figure in charge of the construction site, the magicians who wanted to cause damage had to restrain themselves, giving the action team a moment of peace.

"If this technology could be applied to warfare, wouldn't it be able to instantly deploy bunkers on the battlefield and create city walls out of thin air? It seems to be a very powerful weapon of war."

Over the communicator, Kiritsugu Emiya spoke thoughtfully. Ever since he learned how the display device worked, he had been pondering this issue. Now that he felt more relaxed, he couldn't help but speak up over the communicator.

"It would be quite convenient to use it in normal building construction..."

Kurogiri Mikiya gave a weak reply, but was quickly drowned out by Wuming's interested voice.

"This idea can certainly be continued. What if we reveal explosives instead of bunkers? If the cost of a revealing device is low enough, could we reveal sufficiently powerful explosives and detonate them directly on the enemy's position, causing massive casualties?"

"That makes sense. For example, you could prepare the formula in advance, have the display device perform a nuclear fusion reaction at the designated time, and then place it on the enemy's position before that."

Following the line of thought of the unnamed man, Kiritsugu Emiya then put forward more ideas.

"There's absolutely no need to consider such a brutal scenario. I've decided that it's good enough if the display device can bring convenience to people's daily lives..."

Mikiya Kokutou tried his best to steer the conversation back to normal, but Rin Tohsaka, who joined the discussion, steered the conversation back on track.

"Although I'm not very clear about the mechanical aspects, I've heard that the device can even simulate the operation of magic. If that's the case, wouldn't the power of a magic explosion be even greater? For example, the illusion collapse used by Wuming only requires a small amount of magic to achieve a high degree of destructive power. Could the display device simulate the collapse process of magic operation? That might even save on materials."

“But a simple magic explosion is unlikely to be as powerful as fusion, right?” Li Cheng, who had nothing better to do, also joined the discussion. “And according to your thinking, the manifestation device itself can only be used as a disposable item, which feels like a huge waste. Why can’t it be deployed into something like a turret that can actively cause continuous damage? Or a manifestation device that can be used by individual soldiers and can quickly replenish ammunition and spare parts?”

"Hmm, that's certainly a good idea, but personally, I still prefer something with massive destructive power..."

So why are they always thinking of using new technology as weapons? It always seems like each of Shi's companions is more ferocious than the last.

Kurogiri Mikiya, after putting down the communicator, showed a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

"What's wrong, Gan Ye?"

Ryougi Shiki opened a box of ice cream and ate it in small bites, seemingly oblivious to the early spring temperature. Noticing the subtle expression on Kokutou Mikiya's face as he put down his communicator, she tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. Speaking of which, your friends are quite active, they've been discussing how to make the most of the display device technology."

Kurogiri Mikiya smiled gently and reached out to wipe a bit of ice cream crumb from the corner of his mouth.

"Ha, those guys are always like this. They're probably thinking about how to use that thing to create a huge explosion again."

Shi was well aware of the Sixth Group's style, and his casual remark perfectly guessed the situation.

"But personally, I still prefer sword duels and battles. Cutting your opponent into five pieces or something, it's not as satisfying to just stand back and fire cannons."

So there's definitely a reason why you're so close to those guys, Shi.

Kokutou Mikiya's smile faltered slightly for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. Come to think of it, after spending so much time together, he had already gained a good understanding of Shiki and the style of the Sixth Group. In fact, when Emiya Kiritsugu and the others occasionally used unreasonable procedures, Kokutou Mikiya provided technical support.

After all, he could genuinely feel that this group of people were truly striving for the happiness and well-being of more people.

[Tick-tock—]

A shrill alarm sounded at that moment, and Kurogiri Kanya quickly retrieved the alarm image and found that an unmarked superhuman had broken into the hotel's second-floor restaurant.

Wait, is he a superhuman?

Kurogiri Mikiya zoomed in on the image, and then a figure stood out clearly in the restaurant scene.

"...It's actually this guy?"

One minute later, Li Cheng, with a serious expression, cautiously walked into the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.

There were no sudden bursts of gunfire or any pre-set, disgusting traps, so the other party probably wasn't here as an enemy. But if not as an enemy, what was he doing here?

With this question in mind, Li Cheng continued walking forward until he reached the front of the restaurant, where a man was leaning against a table, trying to use a steel fork to go in and out of the rear end of a roast suckling pig.

"Wade Winston Wilson".

Li Cheng addressed the tall, thin man, who was completely covered in a red bodysuit, in the most serious tone possible.

"Oh my old buddy, your voice sounds like that priest in the church near my elementary school who's been a virgin for a million years and is constipated. I mean, hey friend, you could totally use a more affectionate tone, add some Japanese-style slang, like, Wade-chan~, or Deadpool-chan~, that would be fine too."

The man stopped what he was doing, completely plunging the steel fork into the roast suckling pig. Then, he turned around on the table and looked at Li Cheng, speaking in a flippant tone.

What are you doing here?

Li Cheng's expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask seriously.

"Well, how should I put this? Studying the excretory tract of an underdeveloped piglet? That sounds pretty disgusting, hehehe. I mean, don't you have any idea how big this mess is? Do you know how much Aleister's head is worth on the black market?"

Although the man was wearing a mask, Li Cheng could still see the feigned shock on his face.

"Of course, I'm not saying I wanted to kill this guy. Well, actually I kind of wanted to, or rather, I really hoped I could kill him. So, I tried it out, walked in openly, and actually, I just went up to the second floor without anyone stopping me, well, until you showed up."

“First of all, Mr. Aleister is at the construction site today, so you can’t find him here. Secondly, we spotted you as soon as you came in, which is why I came here to find you.”

Li Cheng frowned, looking at the man in front of him with an unfriendly expression. His tone and actions were extremely exaggerated, and he was ready to beat him up.

Wade, a man who gained A-level healing abilities due to various accidents, but whose body was disfigured, later became a mercenary. He often wears a red bodysuit and is skilled with dual swords and firearms, and was a formidable opponent in the past.

He once attempted to assassinate a target protected by the Sixth Group. During that mission, Li Cheng clashed directly with him, sustaining considerable injuries before finally capturing him. However, he later inadvertently allowed Li Cheng to escape, stealing a significant amount of equipment and supplies from the branch. In the end, Li Cheng even planted a bomb, blowing up the Sixth Group's toilet and causing excrement and urine to fly everywhere.

Forgetting someone like that isn't easy, especially with that jerky mouth of theirs.

In any case, it's probably best to keep this guy under control first.

"So, buddy, there's no way I'm targeting that big boss. Think about it, he's someone who shakes hands with the Transcendent Ones. How could I possibly have the guts? My target is definitely someone with more practical significance, right?"

Just as Li Cheng was pondering how to quickly win over the man in front of him, the other party suddenly leaned in and spoke in a very mysterious tone.

"This time, someone's paying to kill you, old buddy!"

As Deadpool finished speaking, a sudden sense of crisis arose, followed by an unexpected magical teleportation.

Is this guy targeting me?

Li Cheng stared wide-eyed in surprise. At the same time, Deadpool pulled out a bunch of guns and opened fire on him. The ground beneath them, which should have been a restaurant, had been transformed into a pool of water covered with high-voltage electricity due to the teleportation.

"I embarrassed myself here last time, but this time it'll be different, handsome!"

Deadpool laughed loudly, and then after Li Cheng said "The realm of fast and slow", he widened his eyes and found that all the bullets he fired were floating in the air as if they had lost power, while Li Cheng, who should have fallen into the high-voltage electric pool at high speed, was still floating in the air.

"What did you say would happen this time?"

"I just said you were my dad. Dad, I was wrong. How about you teach me this skill, Dad?"

……

"So, the guy nicknamed 'Deadpool' sneaked into the hotel and even used a teleportation spell to assassinate Senior Li Cheng?"

Rin fiddled with a talisman stone that had lost its magic power, feeling somewhat incredulous about what had happened.

"Judging from the setup of that guy at the ambush site, he didn't actually want to kill Li Cheng at all. It seems he just wanted to knock him unconscious and then do something to him, probably as revenge. But does revenge really need to go to this extent?"

Wuming, who had also investigated the location where he was teleported, was equally puzzled.

"But that guy didn't anticipate Cheng's huge improvement in strength, so he unsurprisingly failed. Even after failing, he immediately used another teleportation talisman to escape. Although we have now analyzed and found his teleportation location, he has already made it away."

Kiritsugu Emiya took a sip of tea, added some details about what was to come, and then looked at Li Cheng, who was still somewhat confused about the situation, and cleared his throat.

"By the way, Cheng, I just checked, and there really is someone on the black market offering a bounty of three million US dollars for your life."

"Wow, it's actually true?!"

"Such a thing is possible?"

"Although I don't want to believe it, it's true."

On a shady website that Kiritsugu Emiya had accessed through some means, Li Cheng's photo was displayed, and below the photo was a bright green figure of three million US dollars.

Li Cheng, from the sixth team of the Neon Action Group, has become a target with a bounty on his head.

Chapter 6, Section 327: Wanting to Slack Off

After repeated confirmations, Li Cheng finally had to face the fact that he had become one of the wanted criminals on the black market.

The three million US dollars price was prominently displayed on the webpage, which briefly drew Rin Tohsaka's gaze, who had been short of money recently, to Li Cheng's neck. Deadpool's prank-like attack, in a sense, also indicated that some people had begun to accept the bounty and take action.

"So, can we find out which bastard posted the bounty? And why did he have to take such an ugly photo? Even if he's a target for an assassin, at least take a decent picture."

Li Cheng frowned, looking at the photo of himself yawning on the street on the black website, and the comments on the anonymous forum below, such as "This man is dressed so tacky" and "Could he be a lolicon who was just released from prison?" He couldn't help but feel like he wanted to find someone to beat up to vent his anger.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

After trying for a while, Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head and left the computer.
