Just now, when we were talking about disguising ourselves, Bakugo Katsuki didn't know why his brain had suddenly gone blank. He grabbed some hairspray and applied it... and that was it. Now, to be honest, even his mother wouldn't recognize him at a glance. His disguise was a great success.
Finally, everyone who had finished their costumes began to comment on each other. Shinso Hitoshi, trying to stop them from laughing and fooling around, quickly said:
"Alright, let's not waste any more time—let's go!"
Chapter 159 A Dangerous Plan
"This place?"
The group followed the steps of the envoy, but they arrived at a place that was somewhat unexpected. They stopped in front of a tall building.
"Shinso-kun, are you sure this is the place?"
"That's right, according to the information from that 'agent,' this is the new stronghold of the 'League of Villains.'"
Yue Shanyou looked up at the towering building, over thirty stories high and hundreds of meters tall, with ordinary people constantly entering and leaving below. He said with great suspicion:
"Are you kidding me? The League of Villains' base is in a place like this? Isn't it easy for them to be discovered?!"
"On the contrary."
Shoto Todoroki rejected Yuu Gakuyama's words, and after some thought, he began to speak:
"In the aftermath of the 'Forest Training Camp' incident, it is said that All Might fought a battle with the leader of the 'League of Villains,' who ultimately escaped, while the Kamino Ward suffered severe damage."
"I heard from that bastard of a father that the heroes and the police have been conducting a thorough search of Kamino Ward, trying to find information about the League of Villains. It seems that most of Kamino Ward has been thoroughly searched, but..."
Pointing his finger at the skyscrapers in front of him, and the scene of ordinary people constantly coming and going, he confirmed:
“Heroes and police have never searched places like this because no one would suspect them.”
"Hmm... so that's really true."
Yue Shanyou thought about it carefully. If the enemy's stronghold was in such a bustling and prosperous place, it would be hard to imagine... and even if they wanted to search for it, it would be quite difficult.
"Let's go. From now on, be careful not to cause any unnecessary trouble."
Shinso Hitoshi, who leads the team, is indeed suitable for taking the lead in missions due to his "brainwashing" personality, and he was the one who gathered everyone together for this operation.
He gestured for the people behind him to stop, and then walked forward alone. They were already close to the edge of the building, and there were many security personnel patrolling around.
"Hey, what are you doing!?"
Shinso's disguise, resembling that of a petty thug, immediately caught the attention of the security personnel, and Shinso responded accordingly.
"I'd like to learn more about this place. Could you tell me about it?"
"No, hurry..."
The security personnel stopped speaking before they could finish. Shinso Hitoshi then bowed his head in apology to avoid attracting the attention of other security personnel around him, while simultaneously "brainwashing" the person in front of him into revealing the information he wanted.
Is there anything suspicious about this building?
"Top floor... privately owned bar... VIPs only... elevator requires a VIP card..."
After gradually extracting the information he wanted, Shinso Hitoshi slowly retreated to the group and told them the news.
"It seems the top floor is a League of Villains stronghold. What should we do now?"
"They could hack the elevator's program, but what if they run into members of the 'League of Villains' up there?"
Faming offered help in solving a difficult problem, but the biggest problem facing everyone remained unsolved: the enemy of the "Alliance of Villains".
These enemies, most of whom have murder on their hands, won't greet you kindly. If you rush up to them rashly, you'll definitely die. They've only come here to secretly meet Midoriya and find out about his current situation.
"How about we do it this way..."
"Hey, it seems alright!"
When Ochako made her suggestion, everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they realized that the plan seemed quite feasible, so they all agreed to start taking action.
Shinso and his companion were in a high-end building in the Kamino Ward, so Shinso's thug-like appearance immediately drew the attention of security personnel. Therefore, at this moment...
The people who entered the building were Todoroki Shoto, Takeyama Yu, and Hata no Akira. Todoroki and Takeyama Yu's attire would not arouse any suspicion at all, while Hata no Akira was at most conspicuous, but did not attract much attention from the security personnel.
The three people who arrived at the elevator inside the building immediately began their operation, rushing to the highest floor they could reach, the thirty-second floor.
According to the security personnel, there is only one private elevator leading to the 33rd floor. Not only is there no CCTV surveillance inside, but a VIP card is required to activate it. As for the staircase, there used to be one... but it seems that the big boss who bought the top floor likes a mysterious style. He had workers with a "rock-like" personality completely block up the staircase leading to the top floor.
Even the fire department didn't bother him, which amazed all the staff in the building... Rich people really know how to have fun.
According to information obtained from security personnel, the private elevator leading to the rooftop has hardly ever been used, and they have always suspected whether there is anyone on the rooftop. However, this is obviously not something that people like them who work in security need to worry about.
Shoto Todoroki and Akira Hatsume entered the private elevator, while Yuu Gakuyama stood guard outside. Todoroki went in mainly because he had enough combat power to avoid any unexpected situations, while Akira Hatsume... she had already taken out tools from her jumpsuit pocket.
Carrying tools at all times is one of the essential elements for an inventor. The inventor herself always keeps the tools with her at all times, and this time she put them to good use, hacking the program in the private elevator so she could go to the top floor.
And the other side:
Katsumi Bakugo and Hitoshi Shinso are located behind the building. Kanno Ward is a coastal city, and this building was built near the sea. There are only a few security personnel patrolling behind it, and Shinso has now taken full control of the area.
Ochako Uraraka patted Bakugo lightly, and after applying "zero gravity" to him, she gave him a thumbs-up to indicate that she was okay.
"Alright, now it's your turn, Bakugo. Be careful."
"Hmph, at worst, we'll just have to fight those guys from the League of Villains!"
Despite saying this, Katsuki Bakugo carefully began to act. He lowered his hands and launched a small explosion. The power of this explosion was usually less than the wind from an electric fan, but it was enough at this moment.
Ochako reduced Bakugo's weight to a very light level, so he can now easily fly into the air using only a slight burst of explosive recoil. And behind the building overlooking the sea, no one will notice Bakugo Katsuki soaring into the sky.
Bakugo was propelled upwards from the solid part of the building. Thanks to the "zero gravity" effect applied to him by Ochako, the impact required for Bakugo to levitate was minimal, allowing him to fly stealthily and silently.
Bakugo quickly reached the top floor of the building. He slowly approached the window, and with the "zero gravity" effect supporting him, he didn't have to worry about falling.
Peering cautiously through the window, Bakugo Katsuhiro saw that the interior was a bar, and there were quite a few people inside... all of them were members of the League of Villains.
Ochako's plan involved having Bakugo, in a state of "zero gravity," fly to the top floor and secretly observe the situation from outside the window, while simultaneously having Akira hack into the elevator leading to the top floor from the inside.
The first thing to do is to confirm whether the top floor is indeed a stronghold of the "United Front". Once it is confirmed, the next step is to take action on the other side, focusing entirely on bombing their side.
I'm here to see Izuku Midoriya, so I need to know his current situation, whether he's being held captive by the League of Villains, and whether a rescue operation is needed... Of course, regardless of the situation, there's only one course of action.
There are many ordinary people inside this building, so it's definitely not advisable to fight the enemy. Moreover, being outnumbered is also not a suitable option for fighting. Therefore, there is only one solution left.
After Akira hacked the elevator to the top floor, he threw in the Midoriya-specific item, pressed the button for the top floor, and everything was settled, much to everyone's delight.
Although it wasn't the most dangerous model, Midoriya had left behind quite a few products in the Support Section, and Akira happened to have a few in her possession. She felt that this operation might be a bit dangerous, so she brought them along.
Therefore, Ochako's cautious and meticulous plan was actually very simple: first, determine if the top floor was occupied by the "League of Villains." If it was, then... just throw that dangerous weapon in. Anyway, no one will die, so there's no need to worry too much.
Chapter 160 The Hero's Tactics Are Even Deeper
The Seaside Building in Kanna Ward is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the area. The building is located near the coast and has a total of 33 floors, reaching a height of about 100 meters.
The Seaside Building boasts upscale restaurants, entertainment venues, casinos, swimming pools, massage parlors, and a full range of other amenities, making it a popular destination for the upper class in the Kamino Ward.
Meanwhile, there's a rumor circulating among the upper class in the Kamino Ward that the bar on the top floor of the Seaside Building is owned by a very important person, and it's said that only people of extremely high status can have VIP cards to access the 33rd floor. However, it's unclear whether this is true or not... after all, no one has ever been seen going in or out of that bar.
Of course, this rumor was deliberately spread by the Black Mist, because in order to avoid arousing suspicion from the heroes and the police, it was necessary to use the airs of the upper class.
After all, aside from All Might, who is the number one hero who doesn't have to worry about anything, other people who just treat being a "hero" as a job wouldn't risk their future by doing meaningless investigations and risking offending the upper class.
Furthermore, there's some truth to the rumor spread by the black mist. All For One met some people here long ago—a group of politicians who held high positions but were essentially opportunists. When All For One ruled Japan, those so-called political figures obeyed him like lackeys.
However, after All For One was defeated by All Might, the dirty tricks these politicians used to divide power were even more terrifying than the "enemy".
After the heroes and police wiped out their old stronghold, the bar, Black Mist received the order "all for one" as he prepared to move to a new base.
"Let's restart that place. I'm looking forward to those people coming back here with expressions of fear and dread, but this time they won't be facing me..."
The newly renovated bar at the Seaside Building is now the base of the League of Villains, and Izuku Midoriya himself is currently living here.
A week has passed, and Midoriya has done nothing else during this time but has been observing and learning about the intelligence and actions of the other members of the League of Villains.
The nominal leader of the League of Villains is Shigaraki Tomura, but everyone knows that All For One is the real boss, and Kurogiri serves as his core assistant.
After joining the "League of Villains," a group of notorious wanted criminals, including Himiko Toga, Magneto, and Spinner, are clearly "enemies" with murders on their hands.
Chabi, the magician, Twice... these people haven't actually committed any real murders. After Midoriya learned about this, his attitude towards the three of them became better, at least he didn't have any impulsive murderous intent.
The League of Villains' stronghold is the bar at the top of the Seaside Building, and its members can only travel by relying on the "teleportation portal" of the black mist. When all for one has not arranged any operations, the organization's members are free to move around.
It means you can go out and commit murder or crime whenever you want, but no one dares to do so right now, since Izuku Midoriya has joined the League of Villains.
Judging from his own strength, which is not as great as Midoriya's, he went and did something reckless. He would probably be torn to pieces by Steel Wire as soon as he returned to the organization. After all, they all saw the way that idiot muscle man died.
Moreover, all-for-one's attitude is clearly biased towards this kid, so the "League of Villains" is now truly harmonious.
After spending another week together, Midoriya had a general idea of what this group consisted of: malicious murderers, mentally ill people, and those with unclear motives.
The main perpetrators of the malicious murders are Mag and Spinner, both of whom have taken several lives. Moreover, Midoriya remembers that the North American Shorthair cat was injured by Mag, so he immediately puts the two of them on his blacklist.
Himiko Toga and Twice are two mentally ill individuals. One has a clear mental distortion regarding blood, while the other has developed a split personality after his "Quirk" malfunctioned. Currently, Midoriya's idea regarding these two is to try to correct their behavior.
Izuku Midoriya couldn't fathom the motives behind Chabi and the Magician's actions. Neither of them had committed any "crimes," and their mental states were perfectly normal... In short, they joined the League of Villains with some kind of purpose.
Kurogiri expertly wiped the glasses as always, seemingly finding his hobby of being a bartender in addition to his work as an "enemy." Midoriya Izuku inquired about this.
"You don't seem like a bad guy, so why are you helping that man?"
Are you curious?
Black Mist put down the wine glass he was wiping, and his invisible face underwent a noticeable change in expression, like that of a devout, fanatical believer.
"Because that adult gave me everything when I had nothing!"
"........."
Midoriya didn't speak, didn't answer... He thought of the story All For One had told him, in which the oppressed and weak gained power to slaughter all those who had hurt him, and regarded All For One, who had given him the power, as a god.
"Shigaraki Tomura... and you?"
After hesitating for a moment, Izuku Midoriya asked the pale-haired guy next to him. Judging from his address to all for one, he must be that man's "student"?
Why should I tell you?
Shigaraki Tomura coldly looked at Midoriya Izuku. Ever since this kid came to the League of Villains, the atmosphere has been off. Even though he is a pawn in the teacher's important plan, Shigaraki has no good attitude towards Midoriya.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to get a little information about everyone's situation."
Izuku Midoriya deliberately asked around to gather information, and Shigaraki Tomura hesitated for a moment before speaking up, since it wasn't a secret and he didn't mind being told.
"Because when I needed a hero the most, it wasn't a 'hero' who reached out to me, but my 'teacher.'"
"......"
At this moment, Midoriya was speechless... The person that the hero couldn't save was saved by the "enemy," or perhaps for Shigaraki Tomura, his "teacher" All For One was his true "hero."
But there's nothing we can do about it. Even a hero like All Might is, in essence, a "human." Humans are not gods... or rather, even gods cannot save everyone from all suffering.
The "heroes" people become are not those who save everyone from suffering; they can only protect those in front of them. But there are always those who cannot help in time... just like Shigaraki Tomura.
Just as Midoriya was sighing helplessly at reality, he suddenly heard a "click," which was the elevator's notification sound indicating that it had reached its destination.
At the same time, not only Izuku Midoriya, but everyone in the League of Villains present focused their attention on the elevator entrance and prepared for battle.
Everyone present traveled through the "teleportation portal" of the black mist. Who would go and take the elevator up here? Clearly, the visitor has ill intentions.
As everyone braced themselves for battle, the elevator doors slowly opened, only to find the elevator completely empty.
"I'll go take a look."
Mag, tall and daring, walked towards the elevator. Just as he was about to investigate what was going on, a small sphere on the elevator suddenly emitted a burst of yellow smoke, and Mag was accidentally hit and collapsed on the spot.
At the same time, Izuku Midoriya recognized the round object and the very familiar yellow smoke, and his face immediately turned pale with fright.
Chapter 161 Sorry, everyone present!
There was no doubt that this thing in front of him was created by him, and Izuku Midoriya certainly wouldn't mistake it. However, AOE weapons don't care who created them; they're just meant to wipe out the entire field.
Izuku Midoriya's expression changed drastically in fright. At the same time, the "people" in the bar, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately put some distance between themselves. However, the pale yellow smoke spread very quickly and was about to fill the entire bar space.
"Black Fog, open the door immediately!"
At the critical moment, Shigaraki Tomura gave the order, and at the same time, Kurogiri quickly opened the "teleportation portal," otherwise the entire army would be wiped out.
At this point, there was no time to worry about anything else. Just as Izuku Midoriya was about to enter the black mist "portal," he heard a knocking sound at the window.
In the nick of time, glancing to the side, I saw Bakugo Katsuki. Although he looked a bit strange, he was clearly flying by the building, knocking on the window and making a sitting gesture.
Midoriya was filled with questions, but he couldn't worry about that now. Just as the yellow smoke was about to cover the entire space inside the bar, he suddenly sprinted towards the window.
