Zongman: The post-2D era
Page 502
Saturday, November 5
The frog-faced doctor from Academy City stared at Feng Feng with a headache.
Misaka Mikoto and Matou Sakura were receiving IV drips in a hospital room.
On the hospital bed next to Feng Feng, Accelerator was lying on his side pretending to sleep, his fists clenched and shaking.
Kamijou Touma had just finished telling what happened after Index was attacked last night and invited Fengfeng to go and rescue her together.
"Kanzaki Kaori, a member of the British Puritan special forces "Church of Necessary Evil", one of the top ten magicians in London, and the former female pope of the "Amakusa-style Cross Church."
The frog-faced doctor shook his head and spread his hands to Kamijou: "Your abilities are no match for her, you will never be able to defeat her."
"She is one of the less than twenty "saints" in the world. She has excellent swordsmanship that allows her to freely control the sword "Nine Days Seven Swords" at her waist, and is best at hand-to-hand combat that combines physical enhancement with magic."
Feng Feng stood up lightly and walked towards the ward door with firm steps. The sunlight shone through the window lattice, outlining a faint golden edge on her back.
Kamijou Touma followed closely with his gaze, and shouted in confusion, "Feng Feng, where are you going?"
Feng Feng did not stop, but turned his head slightly. His clear eyes passed through the air and fell on the frog-faced doctor. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his question was full of unquestionable power:
"Who do you think is more likely to defeat the saint, me or him?"
In the sunlight, his eyes seemed to contain endless depth and confidence, making the air in the ward freeze.
The frog-faced doctor pointed helplessly in the direction where Feng Feng left, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Boy, remember to ask her to come back to pay the medical bills."
When Kamijou Touma heard this, he jumped in panic and tried to break free from the doctor's hand and chase after him, but the latter held him tightly.
He turned around anxiously, only to see Accelerator on the bed raise his head slightly and say in a slightly hoarse voice: "Be quiet, Kamijou. If you can't do anything, don't hold us back."
Accelerator's eyes revealed a complex emotion, a mixture of helplessness, a touch of admiration, and more of dissatisfaction and anger at his own powerlessness.
Feng Feng was thinking about whether the medical expenses could be reimbursed. He stopped and his eyes fell on the girl with twin ponytails who was blocking his way.
She was wearing the school uniform of Tokiwadai Junior High School and a striking red armband on her arm, looking particularly heroic.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves of the sycamore trees on the street, and mottled shadows danced on her body, adding a bit of liveliness to the tense atmosphere.
The girl frowned, her eyes looking serious:
"The Discipline Committee is here, please cooperate with the investigation. You just behaved abnormally in the hospital of Academy City, and it seems that you have illegal intentions. Please follow me back to the Discipline Committee for questioning."
As she spoke, she took a step forward, as if intending to grab Feng Feng's wrist directly.
Feng Feng's figure flashed and he slid out of the grasp of the girl with twin ponytails nimbly, as elusive as a loach.
He was anxious, worried about Index who was waiting to be rescued, and had no time to dwell on this.
The alley was narrow and deep. The moss on the corners of the walls glowed green in the weak sunlight, and the air was filled with a faint smell of mold and dampness.
Feng Feng was agile as he moved through the alleys, placing each step in the best position and making almost no sound. Only the echo of the anxious shouts of the girl behind him reverberated in the narrow space, interweaving with the occasional roar of cars in the distance to form a rapid symphony.
"Hey, stop, I'm the Discipline Committee member, Kuroko Shirai, how come you have onee-sama's business card..."
Feng Feng ignored Shirai Kuroko and returned to the dormitory. The lights in the room were dim and warm. He stood in front of the window, staring at the hazy outline of the city in the night.
Based on Kamijou's description and the vague memory of yesterday's battle in his mind, he slowly closed his eyes and let his thoughts immerse in those subtle clues.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his sharp gaze locked onto an inconspicuous surveillance camera outside the window.
A look of determination appeared on his lips. He quickly turned on the computer, his fingertips jumping on the keyboard, and called up the surveillance video.
On the screen, a blurry figure shuttled through the night, leaving behind a series of elusive afterimages.
Feng Feng stared at the screen, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he could penetrate the night and track the final destination of the figure.
Feng Feng tracked the figure in the surveillance video and finally stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse in the seventh school district.
The warehouse is made of rusty metal. Years of erosion have made it look dilapidated, with dust covering the surface, as if it were a corner forgotten by time.
The door was closed and there were no obvious signs of a break-in, but the glass of one of the windows was broken, with fresh cracks remaining on the edges. The moonlight filtered through the gap, sprinkling on the dusty ground, forming a silvery-white patch.
A breeze blew by, raising a cloud of fine dust, like the whisper of time.
Feng Feng's eyes were sharp. He gently pushed open the half-open warehouse door and stepped into this silent and mysterious space. He took every step carefully, for fear of disturbing the secrets here.
Feng Feng stepped into the warehouse, and in the dim light, a sharp aura suddenly approached.
He blinked and his sight quickly focused forward.
One leg of Kamiya Kaori's jeans was torn, revealing her slender white thigh. Her white shirt was a little messy, and her ponytail hung casually behind her head. In her hand, she was holding a two-meter-long "Seven Days Seven Swords". The blade reflected a faint light, and it was chilling.
Kamiya Kaoru's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, locked onto Feng Feng, and she approached with each step in a steady rhythm.
The corners of her mouth curled up into a cold smile, as if she had seen through everything. "Are you the superpowered person who dared to challenge me, the suspected saint?"
Her voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, with a power that could not be ignored.
The air is filled with tension, and a thrilling showdown is about to take place.
Feng Feng looked around and didn't see Index. He guessed that his pursuit had been exposed and Kamijou Kaori might have obtained information about her abilities from Kihara.
Feng Feng's heart sank suddenly. He stared at Kamiya Kaori, his voice trembling with an imperceptible tremor: "Tell me, where is Index?"
Kanzaki Kaori's gaze was as deep as the abyss. She shook her head slightly, with a complicated smile on her lips:
"You will never see her again, Feng Feng. Some secrets are destined to be buried deep."
The moonlight filtered through the broken window frames, sprinkling between the two people in patches, forming silver bands of light.
The "Seven Heavens and Seven Swords" in Kamiya Kaori's hand flashed coldly in the dim light, as if ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.
Feng Feng clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging as he tried hard to suppress the anger and despair in his heart.
The air around them seemed to freeze, and the only sound that could be heard was the heavy and rapid breathing of the two people, echoing in the silent warehouse.
"I don't want to hurt anyone, but..."
Chapter 854: Amakusa-style Cross
Saturday, November 5
The frog-faced doctor from Academy City hung up the phone on the Unified Council.
Misaka Mikoto and Matou Sakura were still receiving IV drips in the ward, dealing with Shirai Kuroko who came to visit and comfort them.
Accelerator clenched his fists and tried to get up from the bed, but was held down by Kamijou Touma.
"Finally escaped to this secret base!"
Kamijou Kaori, a magician who belonged to the British Puritan special forces "Church of Necessary Evil" and ranked among the top ten magicians in London, and the former pope of the "Amakusa-style Cross Church", now looked as miserable as a beggar.
Not far from the base, Feng Feng stopped, breathing rapidly, but his eyes were cold.
The fierce confrontation in the warehouse flashed through Feng Feng’s mind; the roar and sparks of metal collision were still vivid.
He closed his eyes tightly, his face solemn, as if he could see through the wall and see every scene and object in the distant base.
The surrounding metal fragments and tiny iron filings seemed to have been summoned by an invisible force. They trembled slightly, rose slowly, and swirled around him, forming a tiny metal storm.
His will surged out like a tide, trying to lock onto the exhausted, fleeing figure in the distance - Kamisaki Kaori.
There was a tension in the air that was about to explode, and the light of metal flickered dangerously in the dim environment.
"A body similar to that of a saint can possess some of the saint's power. Kanzaki Kaori, thank you for teaching me how to use the saint's power."
The heart of the "saint" Fengfeng roared like a war drum, and every beat seemed to tear his chest apart, sending boiling blood rushing to his brain and ability cells, stimulating his hidden power.
In an instant, the star-like metal particles in the sky seemed to respond to his call, breaking away from gravity and transforming into silver streams of light, pouring towards the base with the force of thunder, with a density comparable to the crazy shooting of a Gatling machine gun.
The air was filled with sharp whistles and the clanging of metal colliding. The light intertwined into a web of death, cutting the night into pieces. Each beam of light contained a terrifying power that was enough to penetrate steel.
Feng Feng's attack suddenly froze, and the whistling sound of the metal storm in the air came to an abrupt stop, as if time had been paused at this moment.
A football passed through the dense metal particles at an incredible speed and trajectory, and with a bang, it landed steadily not far away.
Immediately afterwards, three wooden spears that looked ordinary but exuded a faint spiritual power, stabbed at his vital points from three different directions at an almost synchronized frequency. Each of them contained a power that should not be underestimated.
In the blink of an eye, a group of people dressed in different costumes and with determined eyes quickly surrounded Feng Feng. Their aura was similar to that of Kamiya Kaoru, and they exuded an indescribable magic.
In the sunlight, their silhouettes were elongated, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding metal fragments. They were like guardians in ancient legends, quietly waiting for the next instruction to come.
"Someone from the Amakusa Cross Cult?"
Feng Feng looked at the group of sudden challengers with cold eyes, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said,
"In a battle between saints, you are nothing but a bunch of ants that can be easily destroyed. Are you all ready to die?"
Just as he was about to launch a fatal blow, the door, which was dented by the battle, slowly opened with a sharp creaking sound.
Stop, let’s talk.”
The figure of Kamiya Kaori came into view. She was covered in bandages and blood, but she was like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, with an unyielding flame burning in her eyes.
The Seven Days and Seven Swords seemed to have life in her hands. The tips of the swords lightly tapped the ground, making crisp sounds. Each sword exuded a faint spiritual light, which complemented her indomitable will.
"If you hurt any of them, I will fight you to death."
She slowly raised her head and pointed her sword at Feng Feng. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, and a decisive battle concerning life and death and faith was about to break out.
Feng Feng stared at Kamiya Kaori with an unquestionable determination in his eyes. He repeated word by word: "Hand over Index. This is your only choice."
Under the shadows of metal, his voice was like a sharp blade in the cold wind, cold and harsh.
At this moment, a non-mainstream uncle slowly walked out from the crowd surrounding Feng Feng. He was wearing a colorful jacket and his hair was messy, but his eyes revealed an indescribable wisdom and peace.
He walked between the two of them, raised his hands gently, and made a soothing gesture, as if to calm the storm that was about to break out.
"You two, both of you, calm down."
"His voice was deep and magnetic," We are all working towards the same goal, so why bother to hurt each other? Why not sit down and talk calmly? There will always be a solution."
As he spoke, he did not forget to cast a meaningful look at Feng Feng, as if hinting at something.
"Aleister asked me to apologize to you!"
The shadow behind Kanzaki Kaori slowly moved, and a soft light gradually appeared in the depths of the corridor. Index stepped on this light and slowly walked into the center of the battlefield.
She was dressed in a simple nun's uniform, her golden hair swaying gently in the breeze, and her eyes flashed with an unprecedented determination.
She stood beside Kamijou Kaori, her small body seemed to be carrying a heavy burden. She looked at Feng Feng and her voice was soft but clearly audible:
"Feng Feng, I voluntarily stayed in the Church of Necessary Evil. There are missions that I must complete and secrets that I must protect. Please understand my choice. This was not forced, but a decision of my heart."
After saying that, she gently held Kamisaki Kaori's hand, and the two stood side by side, like two unshakable lighthouses, shining with a firm light in the night.
