Zongman: The post-2D era

"Feng Feng! Do you really want to win me over?"

Misaka Mikoto stood not far away, her short hair shining with a defiant luster in the sun, her eyes flashing with complex emotions, both anger and challenge.

She put her hands on her hips, and the runway under her feet seemed to have become a stage for her to assert her sovereignty.

Feng Feng was stunned and turned his head to look, only to see faint electromagnetic fluctuations beside Misaka Mikoto, as if even the air was trembling slightly under her will.

She continued, "I'm telling you, I will never let up in the next marathon! Whether it's for the glory of Tokiwadai or to prove to you, I, Misaka Mikoto, never give up!"

Feng Feng walked slowly on the marathon track with heavy steps, and every step seemed to be fighting against his own limits.

The sun shone on his face, and sweat slid down like drizzle, soaking his clothes.

And up ahead, Misaka Mikoto was like a flash of lightning, with full power. Her figure drew a dazzling track on the track, leaving only her back flashing with lightning, gradually moving away.

As the race progressed, the crowd gradually thinned out, and Feng Feng finally saw the finish line ahead.

Just then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in sight. It was Misaka Mikoto.

Her face was pale, with sweat and lightning mixed together, but her eyes were still firm, and her clothes were torn and bloodstained, as if she had just experienced a battle.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and Feng Feng seemed to be able to feel the heaviness of her every breath and her indomitable will.

The finish line is right in front of them, and the two figures are intertwined in the afterglow of the setting sun. A contest of will and glory is about to usher in the final sprint.

At this moment, Shirai Kuroko teleported outside the finish line and saw the injured appearance of Misaka Mikoto.

She teleported to Feng Feng again, and kicked him, the hem of her skirt lifted up to reveal a hint of black: "Go to hell! Ape!!"

"You actually did this and that to onee-sama in the woods on the road!"

Chapter 883: Kuroko's Suffering Day

Friday, December 2

With the announcement of the Great Star Festival in Academy City, the enthusiasm of the young people is still rising.

Students from various schools and tourists were discussing the contestants and events of the Daihaxing Festival.

At the Heart Realm Morning Light Second Research Center, it has become a habit for Accelerator and Morning Light Yui to monitor Feng Feng's actions on the screen.

On the screen, Feng Feng and Shirai Kuroko once again teleported and jumped, escaping the students' questioning, leaning on their knees and gasping for breath.

Feng Feng pointed at Shirai Kuroko with trembling fingers and complained: "You Tokiwadai students are too crazy. Just because of your slanderous words that you dragged Misaka Mikoto into the grove, you are actually close to it..."

Before Feng Feng finished speaking, the clear and anxious voices of a group of girls in the distance penetrated the hustle and bustle, like the eve of a summer afternoon thunderstorm, with an urgency that could not be ignored:

"Have you found that guy? We promised Onee-sama that we would catch him!"

Upon hearing this, Shirai Kuroko raised a mischievous smile and waved gently at Feng Feng, as if saying "Sorry, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Then, she suddenly pulled Feng Feng's arm, and the air around them seemed to be distorted. In the interweaving of light and shadow, the two of them disappeared from the spot.

Only circles of ripples that were invisible to the naked eye were left in the alley, slowly spreading out in the air, leaving a group of girls looking at each other in astonishment.

Feng Feng and Shirai Kuroko instantly moved to the competition venue, and before their eyes were bustling crowds and colorful decorations.

The broadcast voice cut through the noise and rang out clearly: "Contestant Feng Feng, please hurry to the third arena to prepare for the competition!"

Feng Feng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became stern, and he quickly walked towards the third arena. He walked through the crowd, and every step seemed to leave a faint vibration in the crowd.

At the same time, Shirai Kuroko turned lightly and plunged into another crowd. Her target was Misaka Mikoto's competition venue. Her eyes were shining with anticipation and excitement, as if she had foreseen the upcoming celebratory hug.

Feng Feng had just finished a fierce competition in the third arena. Sweat was streaming down his cheeks and he was still gasping for breath.

The cheers from the crowd had not yet completely dissipated, and he was just about to find a corner to catch his breath when suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed before his eyes, like the brightest meteor in the night sky.

Shirai Kuroko's figure flashed, with a slight sound of electric current and the distortion of air, and she instantly appeared beside Feng Feng, with a sly smile in her eyes.

Without further ado, she reached out and put her arm around Feng Feng's waist. The two of them seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, and the scene around them instantly became blurred and clear again.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already at another bustling competition scene, surrounded by more brilliant lights and boiling voices.

Feng Feng looked at Shirai Kuroko, whose body was flashing with electricity and seemed to still be reeling from the aftereffects of the electric shock, and asked half-jokingly:

"Hey, Kuroko, were you electrocuted by Misaka Mikoto? Why are you electrocuted all over?"

Upon hearing this, Shirai Kuroko's face darkened, he glared at Feng Feng and said unhappily:

"Stop talking nonsense and go to the competition! If it weren't for my elder sister's request, I wouldn't bother to use teleportation to take you to the next competition site!"

As she spoke, she pushed Feng Feng hard, urging him to act quickly.

Feng Feng staggered a few steps, stood firm, and looked at the lively competition venue in the distance. A trace of determination and fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, and he once again made up his mind to kill Kamijou Touma.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, then took big strides and ran towards the stadium, his figure gradually moving away under the brilliant lights.

Feng Feng was teleported to the next competition venue by Heizi again and again. This time, he noticed that Heizi's face was unusually pale, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and even his eyes looked a little tired.

She was breathing slightly and her hands were shaking slightly. It was obvious that the continuous use of the teleportation ability was a huge burden on her.

"Heizi, are you okay?" Feng Feng asked with concern, his eyes full of worry.

Kuroko forced a smile and shook his head:

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. But I still have to deal with the work of the Discipline Committee, so I can't stay here for long."

As she spoke, she reached out and put her arms around Feng Feng's waist again, preparing for the next teleportation.

But this time, her movements were obviously much slower, the space around her seemed to solidify, and the distorted light and shadow became blurred.

At that moment, Feng Feng seemed to see the determination and subtle fragility flashing in Heizi's eyes, and an inexplicable pity surged in his heart.

Feng Feng and Hei Zi sat on the bench in the rest area. Two cups of hot milk tea exuded an enticing aroma, bringing a touch of comfort to this stressful day.

Heizi sipped gently. Although his face was still pale, a satisfied smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, her cell phone screen lit up, and a message appeared on it. It was from Hatsuharu Shiori, who was always full of energy but now was crying for help.

"Kuroko, help! The Discipline Committee is in big trouble. Someone is creating chaos at the Daiba Star Festival. We can't hold on any longer!"

The anxiety revealed in the words seems to be able to penetrate the screen and hit people's hearts.

Kuroko's eyes suddenly became serious, and he forgot to put down his milk tea. He quickly typed a reply on the screen: "Hold on, Hatsuharu, I'll be there soon!"

After that, she stood up and looked at Feng Feng, with both determination and apology in her eyes: "Sorry, Feng Feng, it seems I have to leave again."

Feng Feng was quick-witted and quick-handed. She grabbed Heizi, who had tried to teleport in vain. Her face was frighteningly pale and sparks of despair were flashing in her eyes.

On the phone screen, Hatsuharu Shikiri's message was like an icy blade, piercing the hearts of both of them.

"Heizi, I may not be able to hold on any longer. I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone..."

There is an ominous feeling between the words, like a farewell.

Kuroko's hands were shaking violently and tears were welling up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She murmured to herself, full of self-blame: "It's all because of me. If I hadn't said that yesterday, I wouldn't have exhausted my abilities today and would have been able to save..."

Time seemed to stand still, and all the noise around faded away. Only Heizi's gasping on the verge of collapse and Fengfeng's furrowed brows were left. The air was filled with heaviness and helplessness.

Feng Feng took a deep breath, his eyes full of determination. He gently picked up Heizi and held him horizontally, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Kuroko's body trembled slightly in his arms, and the tears in his eyes finally slid down and dripped onto his clothes, but it seemed to moisten his heart as well.

"Heizi, look at me." Feng Feng's voice was low and firm, and his eyes were as sharp as torches, piercing through the haze in Heizi's heart.

"Now is not the time to blame yourself. I will help you. Let's teleport together."

His words were like warm sunshine, dispelling the coldness in Heizi's heart. Heizi raised his head and his eyes fell on Fengfeng's resolute profile. The outline seemed particularly soft under the light, yet full of strength.

Her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, as if the whole world had stopped at this moment.

Chapter 884: Shokuho's Temptation

Saturday, December 3

In the announcement of the Daihastar Festival in Academy City, the passion of the young men could not match the enthusiasm of the female students of Tokiwadai.

Students from various schools and tourists were discussing the contestants and events of the Daihaxing Festival.

At the Heart Realm Morning Light Second Research Center, Accelerator and Morning Light Yui were habitually monitoring Feng Feng on the monitor.

On the screen, Feng Feng and Shirai Kuroko teleported and jumped again like they did yesterday, escaping the students' questioning, and leaned on their knees, gasping for breath.

Feng Feng pointed at Shirai Kuroko with a trembling finger and complained: "You Tokiwadai students are too crazy, as crazy as if your mind is controlled by Shokuhou..."

Before Feng Feng finished speaking, the clear and anxious voices of a group of girls in the distance penetrated the hustle and bustle, like the eve of a summer afternoon thunderstorm, with an urgency that could not be ignored:

"Have you found that guy? We promised onee-sama that we would catch him today!"

Upon hearing this, Shirai Kuroko raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth and shrugged lightly at Feng Feng:

"They are indeed controlled by that woman Shokuhou Misaki, and that woman seems to be in a hurry to find you!"

Then, she suddenly pulled Feng Feng's arm, and the air around them seemed to be distorted. In the interweaving of light and shadow, the two of them disappeared in the corner of the supermarket.

When they reappeared, they were already in Tokiwadai Girls' School, in Shokuhou Misaki's room.

When Shirai Kuroko saw Shokuhou, his face darkened and he walked straight to Shokuhou Misaki, almost poking her nose with his finger, with dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes:

"Hey, Shokuhou, you used your psychic ability to bother me again? And you even caused us to be chased by a group of girls. Do you really want to steal Misaka-sama's boyfriend?"

Shokuhou Misaki sat on the bed, a playful smile on her lips, but her eyes were filled with a hint of provocation:

"Oh? Then I found you easily, didn't I? Feng Feng, how did you conquer Xiao Hei Zi yesterday? She loves you so much..."

Feng Feng stood at the door, his eyes unconsciously moving away from the various underwear hanging in the closet, and then glanced at the changed clothes casually thrown on the bed.

Her cheeks flushed slightly and she cleared her throat uncomfortably: "Ahem, well... Heizi, I think we should talk about business first."

Shirai Kuroko just raised his hand to cover Shokuhou Misaki's smug mouth, but saw a sly smile on Shokuhou's lips and a gleam in her eyes.

In an instant, Shokuhou seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, slowly floating off the bed, gracefully walked towards the door, and gently pulled it with both hands.

The door closed automatically with a bang, isolating the noise from the outside world. Shirai Kuroko's hands froze in mid-air, and he stood outside the door in shock.

"That woman, I will let the entire Tokiwadai know that you let Feng Feng into the bedroom... Damn it..."

Only Feng Feng and Shi Feng were left in the room. Feng Feng's eyes flickered, as if two flames were dancing in his pupils, as he observed Shi Feng.

He slowly took a few steps forward, stopped in front of Shokuhou, and asked in a low but firm voice:

"Tell me, Shokuhou, why are you so eager to find me? What secret is hidden behind this?"
