Zongman: The post-2D era

Deep in the alley, Feng Feng's figure and the man in the windbreaker disappeared from sight, leaving only a series of gradually fading footsteps, echoing in the quiet night.

"I am a member of a subordinate team of the Unified Council, and I want you to let me go immediately."

"School number 12345, Feng Feng, LV3 ability user, ability metal control, do you want me to say more?"

Feng Feng listened to the hoarse threat from the windbreaker man, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and he raised his eyebrows, as if the other party's warning was just dust in the wind.

The dim light from the street lamps danced on his face, adding a touch of playfulness to the tense atmosphere.

He raised the heavy metal toy gun with a laugh. Although there was no live bullet in the muzzle, it seemed to have a thousand pounds of power in his hand, pointing it directly at the nose of the man in the windbreaker.

"Come on, let's talk more. Why do you have to keep staring at that little silver-haired girl? Index, she's just an ordinary person who doesn't even have super powers."

There was a hint of provocation in Feng Feng's words, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring closely at every flash of panic in the windbreaker man's eyes.

The man in the windbreaker in front of Feng Feng had beads of sweat on his forehead, which glowed faintly under the dim street lights. He was breathing rapidly and his eyes flickered, obviously intimidated by Feng Feng's aura.

In this academy city, adults generally do not have super powers. The man in the windbreaker knows that he is facing a LV3 ability user with the ability to control metal, and he can't help but feel powerless.

He swallowed, his voice trembling a little: "I...I was just following orders, I really don't know why."

Feng Feng sneered, and gently stroked the cold surface of the toy gun with his fingers. His eyes were as deep as a cold pond, which made the man in the windbreaker shiver involuntarily, as if the toy gun would turn into a real sharp blade and pierce him in the next second.

A girl with a white cloth wrapped around her chest and wearing sports shorts suddenly moved behind Feng Feng and said:

"My name is Aoki Yuzumi, the guide to the black building. Aleister asked me to take you to see him and save someone."

Feng Feng glanced at Aoki Yuuki who suddenly appeared behind him, but that did not distract his attention.

The toy gun in his hand was still firmly against the windbreaker man's chin, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and he asked again:

"I ask you again, why are you targeting Index? She is just an ordinary person. What value does she have to you?"

The man in the windbreaker looked pale, and sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground, making a slight sound. His throat rolled, and he swallowed hard, his voice trembling even more:

"I...I'm really just following orders. I don't know the details!"

Feng Feng's eyes flashed, and he applied a little force with his fingers, and the handle of the toy gun pressed a deep mark on the chin of the man in the windbreaker.

The man in the windbreaker gasped in pain, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. The atmosphere in the alley froze instantly, as if even the air had stopped flowing.

Chapter 850 Alaya's Dream

Wednesday, November 2

Academy City's cleaning cylindrical robot is arguing with Misaka Mikoto.

Sakura Matou remembered the key word "Alaya-vijnana dream" that Fengfeng told her yesterday, and sighed to herself that she wished she could interrogate the man in the windbreaker herself. What's the meaning of a word?

Index introduced the Alaya-vijnana incessantly, trying hard to prove that she really knew magical knowledge.

Feng Feng responded with a hmm, a look of helplessness and uneasiness in his eyes, his gaze fell on Index, who was wearing a high school student uniform in front of him.

She was waving her hands excitedly, her eyes sparkling with desire and pride for magical knowledge. Feng Feng patted her shoulder gently, lowered his voice, and said earnestly:

"Index, when you introduce yourself later, don't mention that you know magic, okay? This is Academy City, we have to keep a low profile."

After he finished speaking, he glanced around vigilantly, fearing that someone might have heard him.

Index blinked her big eyes and quickly glanced left and right at the students in uniform walking around the campus, as if she was afraid that some curious eyes would catch their conversation.

She leaned close to Feng Feng's ear and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "I know. I will be careful."

At this time, Matou Sakura smiled gently, and gently bumped Feng Feng's waist with the corner of her schoolbag, with a playful and comforting look in her eyes:

"Don't worry. If anyone asks, just say that Index has a Chuunibyou and likes to fantasize about the magical world. They will understand."

After saying this, she winked mischievously, and the atmosphere between the three people became relaxed because of this little episode.

Index, wearing her new school uniform with a name tag on her chest, entered a high school classroom accompanied by Sakura Matou.

As soon as she entered the room, her eyes were immediately attracted by the various scientific models placed at the back of the classroom, and a hint of curiosity and excitement flashed in her eyes.

The classmates cast friendly glances at him, some looked at him curiously, and some waved enthusiastically to welcome him.

Index responded with a smile, but she was secretly nervous, afraid that she might accidentally reveal the secret of magic.

Sakura Matou stood beside her, her hands gently placed on her shoulders, as if silently guarding her, always ready to resolve any awkward situation that might arise.

During the break, Index was surrounded by a group of classmates. She told a fictional adventure story in vivid detail. The classmates were fascinated and laughed continuously. Sakura Matou stood aside with a faint smile on her lips and her eyes full of satisfaction.

In the corridor, Feng Feng secretly observed Index who was surrounded by classmates through the half-open door of the classroom.

Seeing that she had successfully integrated into the new environment, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, his tense nerves finally relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Kamijou Touma suddenly jumped out, hooked his hand around his neck, and pulled him so hard that he staggered and almost hit the door frame.

"Hey, Feng Feng, you always ask me to clean up your mess."

Kamijou Touma had a bitter face, his eyes full of helplessness towards the "misfortune".

"This time he brought back such a noisy guy. My peaceful daily life is completely ruined."

As he spoke, he sighed exaggeratedly, spread his hands, and acted as if he had lost all hope in life, which attracted the attention of the students passing by.

Feng Feng frowned and looked at Kamijou Touma in confusion, retorting, "Wait, you said Index's coming to school has something to do with you? How is that possible? You just met for the first time yesterday."

Kamijou Touma's bitter smile became even wider. He suddenly pulled open his school uniform jacket, revealing the shirt underneath with burnt edges and a burnt smell still lingering on the fabric.

"Look at this. I met this guy in the alley yesterday. He claimed to be a fire-type ability user and was looking for a 'girl in a sculpted uniform'."

"I'm sure it's Index. With her outfit and her obsession with magic, she's like a walking symbol."

He shrugged, his tone mixed with a bit of helplessness and self-mockery: "What a misfortune!"

The classmates around him cast curious glances at him, and Kamijou could only smile awkwardly and quickly put his coat back on to hide his embarrassment.

The class bell rang, interrupting Feng Feng's question about why Kamijou Touma didn't change his clothes. Feng Feng returned to his seat and took out his cell phone.

The screen lit up, and a message from Yuuki Yuuki came into view: "The magician's target has been confirmed, the location coordinates have been sent, come to support quickly."

The words were brief, but they carried an unquestionable urgency. Feng Feng's fingers slid across the screen of his phone quickly, checking the attached map location, his brows furrowed, his eyes flickering with determination.

Outside the classroom window, the sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, casting patches of light on his face, adding an unreal halo to the tense atmosphere.

He quickly put away his phone, took a deep breath, and thought about the deal he had made with Aleister yesterday.

According to the deal, Aleister guaranteed him a life in Academy City, and he helped him deal with the magician and track down the dream of Alaya-vijnana.

Feng Feng suddenly stood up, his face slightly pale, his hands covering his stomach, looking impatient.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I... my stomach hurts so badly, I need to go to the bathroom."

There was a hint of apology and anxiety in his voice, and his eyes glanced outside the door from time to time, as if he was expecting something.

Xiao Meng, the little loli teacher at the podium, had her big eyes instantly red, and her concern was beyond words.

"Student Feng Feng, are you okay? Do you want me to call the school doctor?"

Her words were gentle and filled with concern.

But Feng Feng couldn't wait any longer. He waved his hands and refused: "No, teacher, I'll be back soon."

As he spoke, he took big strides and walked quickly out of the classroom.

Feng Feng shuttled through the intricate alleys. The dim light of his mobile phone screen flickered in the dim environment. The navigation instructions echoed in the empty alleys, but it seemed that they could never point to the end.

Just when he was about to give up and prepare to contact Aoki Yui directly, an unusual movement in front of him caught his attention.

Turning a corner, the scene before him made his heart tighten: several Misaka sisters wearing the same uniform and with cold eyes were standing in a circle.

They were holding simple tools in their hands, busy processing the corpse of a girl and themselves. Their movements were mechanical and efficient, and the air around them was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

The girl's face was blurred in the dim light, but her messy black hair flickered ominously in the darkness.

Feng Feng's heart suddenly shrank, he held his breath, his pace slowed down involuntarily, and all kinds of speculations came to his mind.

"You killed Aoki Yuuki?"

Feng Feng's hand had just touched the metal fragment in his pocket, and he was about to quietly activate his ability when a crisp voice came from the alley, interrupting the solemn atmosphere.

"Hey, puppets, have you seen my keys?"

A white-haired boy poked his head out, the sunlight shone obliquely on his slightly immature face, and his eyes flickered with anxiety and expectation.

He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, which was out of place in the dim surroundings, as if he was a traveler who had accidentally entered another world.

"The first among the millions of people in Academy City, Accelerator?"

Feng Feng's heart sank to the bottom!

Chapter 851 Absolute Ability

Thursday, November 3

Academy City's cleaning cylindrical robot was following Misaka Mikoto, asking her to sort the garbage.

Sakura Matou walked up to her and greeted her, tentatively asking her about cloning and what she had seen her do yesterday.

At this time, in the room next to Sakura Matou, Feng Feng kept mocking Accelerator who was lying on the bed.

"Are you really Accelerator? Are you a fake gangster?"

He recalled the battle in the alley yesterday. The appearance of Accelerator caused the Misaka sisters to pause slightly, but they immediately resumed their mechanical busyness.

Feng Feng's heart trembled, and his eyes moved quickly between the boy and the Misaka sisters. The sudden change made the situation even more complicated and unpredictable.

Accelerator curled up his lips in disdain, and stomped his foot violently while cursing "despicable".

The glass fragments on the ground seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and instantly rose into the air, turning into sharp silver flashes, whistling towards Feng Feng.

Feng Feng's eyes focused, his body did not move, but his fingers moved slightly, and there seemed to be a flash of metallic luster in the air around him. Several tiny metal swords appeared out of thin air, circling lightly around him like elves.

With a low shout, the small swords seemed to have spirits and rushed towards the flying glass fragments. The two collided in the air, making crisp and intensive sounds and sparks flying. A silent contest took place fiercely in the small room.

The small metal sword controlled by Feng Feng, after shattering all the flying glass fragments, suddenly changed direction like a cheetah given life, and went straight for Accelerator at lightning speed.

Accelerator still had that confident smile on his face, his hands folded leisurely across his chest, as if he didn't care at all about the impending attack.

However, in the blink of an eye, several small but sharp metal swords pierced his body silently like meteors in the dark night.

Accelerator's smile froze, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes, his body shook slightly, and then he was frozen in place by several silver lights.

"I am Accelerator, and I can control all vectors, except for your small swords made of special materials."
