Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"Let's examine the warning strategy?"

On the other end of the phone, Misaki Shokuhou's voice was noticeably higher.

"Well, based on the characteristics of her abilities, this is probably not her true form, but rather liquid metal that she controls."

While talking on the phone with Misaki Shokuhou, Makoto Haramura kept his eyes fixed on the southeast direction.

There, a girl dressed as a nurse, with purple pigtails and a height that suggested she was a middle school student, was holding a dagger to the neck of an adult woman.

And this adult woman happens to be an acquaintance of Makoto Haramura.

It was Misaka Mikoto's mother, Misaka Mirei, whom Haramura Makoto had just met yesterday.

Similarly, not far away, there was another girl in the exact same nurse's uniform, holding a knife to a girl he didn't know.

It was on this very battlefield that Misaka Mikoto, Misaka Mirei's daughter, stood.

"What's the situation now?"

Misaki Shokuhou's voice sounded slightly urgent.

In fact, Misaki Shokuhou was able to see through that old man Kihara Gensei's plans to such an extent.

It's all because of the girl in front of Makoto Haramura right now.

Take heed of this warning.

More than half a month ago, Makoto Haramura found a clone of his sister who shared memories with Dolly, and this was something Dolly asked Misaki Shokuhou to do.

Find your former playmates and examine them carefully.

Then ask her directly to find out why she left without saying goodbye, and whether her friend dislikes her.

Misaki Shokuhou readily agreed.

This is not only Misaki Shokuhou's compensation to Dolly, but also Misaki Shokuhou's redemption for herself.

Regardless of the final truth, the fact remains that I, at the time, shamefully used my abilities to interfere in the beautiful memories of two people.

The reason why Misaki Shokuhou now has to impose so many restrictions and self-discipline on the use of her abilities can be said to be because this matter has affected her.

Therefore, Misaki Shokuhou went to great lengths to investigate the whereabouts of Keisuke.

With Misaki Shokuhou's extensive network and abilities working together, she quickly found traces of Keisuke Kanzaki.

However, on the surface, the police disappeared after planning the terrorist attack.

In reality, Keisuke Kaneki was taken away by that old guy Kihara Gensei through the secret service's channels.

The trail goes completely cold here.

Even Misaki Shokuhou couldn't possibly track down that old man, Gensei Kihara.

There's no way around it; Academy City has just too many advanced technologies, and countless facilities are hidden underground. Trying to find someone hiding in the shadows is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It's understandable that Misaki Shokuhou is a little excited now that the trail that the police have been searching for has finally appeared.

"It's very simple. Miss Kensuke used her abilities to put Misaka in a difficult choice between two options."

The ability to perceive and liquefy human shadows.

It is a powerful ability called "Liquefied Shadow" that allows free manipulation of liquids with a specific gravity of 20 or higher (such as liquid metal).

It possesses extremely high combat capabilities and long-range maneuverability, allowing for free operation even at distances of hundreds of meters.

The "liquefied human figure" has no senses other than hearing and touch. Because the puppet that the police are looking at has no sight, it has to navigate around like a bat by echolocation, and its sensitivity is enough to detect the sound of a heartbeat within tens of meters.

Just then, Makoto Haramura's gaze suddenly focused on a point, and the corners of his mouth naturally turned up.

"Xiao Qi, I've found a way to lock onto Miss Jingce."

"But before that, we need to resolve Misaka's crisis first."

After hanging up the phone, Makoto Haramura let his hands hang naturally at his sides.

"Misaka-san, it's up to you to react now."

The moment the words left his mouth, Makoto Haramura's figure had already vanished from the spot.

The next second, Makoto Haramura appeared directly behind Misaka Mirei.

The liquid metal hand that was holding Misaka Mirei hostage with a knife suddenly changed position, transforming into a long sword that gleamed silver in the sunlight and stabbed straight at Haramura Makoto.

"Ugh!"

He pulled Misaka Mirei behind him, and faster than the silver sword that was thrusting at him was a solid red streak.

The blade flashed and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind a red liquid mass floating in the air.

The body, dressed in a nurse's uniform, was sent flying backwards.

Then, like a venomous tongue poised to hunt, Makoto Haramura's hand precisely found the red neck strap that had fallen into the air.

"boom--!"

Just as everything was finished on Makoto Haramura's side, a loud bang suddenly rang out from above.

Blue lightning bolts struck straight down from the sky, followed by Misaka Mikoto leaping off the platform with the kidnapped girl from the ordinary middle school in her arms.

"mom!"

"Don't worry, Ms. Misaka Mirei has only fainted temporarily."

"There are no other problems."

Standing beside Misaka Mikoto, Makoto Haramura felt reassured for her.

No matter what, she's just a middle school girl. It's one thing for her to be threatened, but to have her family and friends involved is quite remarkable. It's already impressive that Misaka Mikoto can remain so calm.

"Thank you."

Using the bioelectric current, Misaka Mikoto confirmed that her mother and friend were only unconscious, and she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Early spring".

Another voice suddenly rang out, and Shirai Kuroko, the disciplinary committee member, made her dazzling entrance.

Makoto Haramura raised his eyebrows.

"It seems that Misaka-san can resolve this crisis even without my help."

Misaka Mikoto did not show anger at Haramura Makoto's teasing; instead, she looked bitter.

He reached out and grabbed Haramura Makoto's clothes without looking at Shirai Kuroko, who had already arrived.

"Take me away from here for now, I have something to ask you."

"Oh."

"What a coincidence, I also need your help with something."

Makoto Haramura smiled slightly and, before Kuroko Shirai could speak, he and Mikoto Misaka used spatial teleportation to leave the area.

However, the two did not go very far, at most about two or three hundred meters away from their original position.

"What exactly is going on with that woman? Where is my sister? At first, I thought it was Misaki Shokuhou who was behind this, but now there must be another group of people involved."

The moment Misaka Mikoto's feet touched the ground, a barrage of questions rained down on Haramura Makoto.

She had a pretty good day yesterday, putting all her effort into the competition.

In the afternoon, she temporarily lent her identity to Misaka Mikoto.

It was precisely because she lent her identity to the Misaka Sisters that the Misaka Sisters disappeared.

After learning about the investigation this morning, and discovering that her closest friend no longer recognized her, and that her friends were getting hurt one after another, the girl was now furious.

"I didn't ask about the specific details of the plan, but Xiao Qi doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards you."

"I guess this situation is also to protect your friends."

"As for the rest, I recommend that Misaka-san go and meet up with Inori now, so that she can learn more."

Makoto Haramura shrugged and chuckled.

"Do you think I haven't been looking for that woman? I've been searching for her since this morning."

Misaka Mikoto's words were filled with anger.

"It's nothing. I guess the time wasn't right for you to contact Xiao Qi before, but now the time is right."

As she spoke, she took something that looked like a communicator from her pocket and tossed it to Misaka Mikoto.

"This is a single-line communicator that can contact Xiao Qi."

"So, are you satisfied, Misaka-san?"

Reaching out, Misaka Mikoto caught the communicator in her hand and nodded.

Frankly speaking, even now that the clues have been discovered that Misaka Mikoto might be on the same side as Shokuhou Misaki, she still harbors suspicions towards her.

The problem now is that Makoto Haramura is acting as guarantor.

Even if Makoto Haramura is Misaki Shokuhou's boyfriend, the boyfriend of that woman she hates so much.

However, she was willing to believe in Makoto Haramura.

"Okay, is there anything I can help you with?"

Misaka Mikoto hadn't forgotten what Haramura Makoto had just said.

"Tracing the source of this camera should be a piece of cake for you."

She removed the pink neck strap that had just been shattered from the liquid metal doll and handed it to Misaka Mikoto.

A flash of blue electricity appeared on Misaka Mikoto's hand, and she then took out her personal laptop.

"give it to me."

Without a doubt, as a Level 5 esper, Misaka Mikoto's cyber intrusion ability is world-class and TOP1.

It's safe to say that there's absolutely no protection against Misaka Mikoto online.

She was born to be an empress.

The reason why Misaka Mikoto cannot be regarded as a hacker is because this person can only attack and cannot defend.

Therefore, entrusting this matter to Misaka Mikoto will absolutely ensure success.

"Found it at this location."

Sure enough, it didn't even take two seconds; Misaka Mikoto marked the location on the map.

"Okay, I'll lend you this computer for now."

……

"Well, a completely expected spoiler."

"But it appeared a bit early; I thought it would be later."

In a secluded alley, a girl whose appearance and figure were almost identical to the liquid metal doll from before was looking at the screen in her hand, which had turned gray.

However, compared to before, this girl's skin was noticeably more radiant.

To put it more clearly, well, it's the difference between a real person and a mannequin.

"Even if it was expected, why didn't the liquid metal doll run away after I killed it? Why is it still leisurely waiting for me here?"

"You must have already prepared a plan to deal with me."

As this voice rang out, Makoto Haramura, who had just been next to Misaka Mikoto, suddenly appeared here.

"I don't think you're the kind of idiot who thinks he can challenge Level 5."

With his hands in his pockets and a lollipop dangling from his mouth, Makoto Haramura stood before Keisuke with a nonchalant air about him.

True!

Jingce's ability to observe and assess is indeed quite good, and in certain specific environments, her combat power is indeed considerable.

But to attempt to reach Level 5 is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Among ability users, unless their abilities are significantly countered, fighting someone of a higher level is simply impossible.

Even in Level 5, Misaki Shokuhou, who is most obviously countered by Kensei, can only be successfully ambushed by Kensei if she is in an environment where there is no one around.

As for him, Makoto Haramura?
