Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 136

These thugs are obviously uneducated idiots with little intelligence. In a tense situation, they don't carefully consider whether it makes sense to reveal detailed information about their abilities.

In short, by continuing to amplify their fears through performance, they can cause them to lose their composure under immense psychological pressure, thus giving the opportunity to deal with them one by one.

"Moreover, once I touch them, no matter where they run, I can take their lives."

The boy's dead fish eyes revealed a look as if he were looking at a dead person as he sized up the other female thug who had touched his body earlier.

It's like a cold-blooded butcher looking at the pigs in his sty, considering where to cut them to kill them quickly.

"Humph, so what?"

The leader was panicking when she saw her younger sister lying on the ground, but she remained defiant. If she couldn't even win in a verbal battle, she might as well just surrender.

With that thought in mind, my body still obediently used whatever was available and picked up a discarded metal water pipe from the ground.

This way, you can avoid physical contact with him when you hit him.

"I've never heard of such a strange ability."

After calming down a bit, the leader gripped the water pipe and gave a fierce look, as if she wanted to eat someone alive.

"Believe it or not. The ability to track or interfere with the opponent using AIM diffusion field recordings takes many different forms."

As he muttered these terms that sounded somewhat familiar but he couldn't quite place them, the boy was also observing their condition, choosing his next suitable target.

"Well, but you LV.0s can't feel it while you're alive, right?"

The word "incapable" struck a nerve with them, and the leader of the women holding the water pipes seemed to have seen through his trick.

"A pointless bluster."

However, the man with the afro next to her had completely lost his temper, grabbing the older woman's arm and trembling uncontrollably.

"what happened?"

The leader looked at her with an impatient expression.

"I just touched that guy!"

Her voice, adorned with an afro, was raised so high it sounded like she was on an airplane.

"If what he said is true, then I..."

"What are you afraid of! Didn't I tell you it was just a bluff?"

"But..."

People who are emotionally charged won't listen to advice, so the other girl quickly came over to mediate.

"Don't fight amongst yourselves."

"Yes."

The girl who came over to mediate the fight didn't notice the boy walking up behind her.

After feeling something touch her arm and causing a slight sting, she slowly turned her head.

My neck looks like it's been rusted from not being used for a long time; it makes a "clicking" sound when I turn it, and it gets stuck and jerky.

The timid female thug was covered in cold sweat. When she turned around, she saw the boy's dead fish eyes that were very close to hers.

"Internal strife is not a good thing."

"Ugh! Ah! Ahh!"

The female thug's reaction was even greater than Misaka had imagined. She seemed to be completely terrified, jumping away abruptly. Her arm, which the boy had touched, thrashed about as if it were stained with something particularly filthy.

"You guy!"

"Hey! What should I do?"

"clam down!"

That's understandable, since few people can remain calm when faced with such a life-or-death situation.

Seeing that her team was on the verge of collapse and difficult to lead, the only one who hadn't been touched by the boy got annoyed by their noise. She swung the water pipe hard and slammed it to the ground. A spark flashed and disappeared, but the loud noise temporarily quieted down the two younger girls who were on the verge of a breakdown.

"Shut up! Let me do it."

The gang leader hoisted the water pipe onto her shoulder, ready to beat the creepy man to a pulp.

However, the other party had already taken advantage of the moment when their attention was diverted to quietly move to the position of the light switch.

"Snapped."

Misaka's vision went black, and all she could see were electromagnetic waves.

This is the only room in the building that can be lit; once the light bulb is turned off, there is no light source at all.

The unknown originating from the darkness amplifies people's fear, so the leader dared not act rashly.

Suddenly, one of the girls let out a terrified scream, followed by the sound of her body falling to the ground.

"What's going on? Hey! You guys..."

"what!!!"

Another scream rang out. The leader, who had acted fearless, was now breaking out in a cold sweat. It seemed like she was all alone now.

"Damn it, what happened?"

The sudden light dazzled the woman, who quickly shielded her eyes with her hand.

Once my pupils gradually adjusted to the intensity of the light, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was two younger girls lying in front of me.

The boy stood silently beside the switch.

"is that a lie!"

"You're all alone now."

The boy winked mischievously, then turned off the light.

The leader's psychological pressure increased a thousandfold in an instant, and she completely lost her composure.

P.S.: I made sure my cat finished writing a chapter today. I took him out to see a movie, *The Sound Engineer*, which has a very high rating. (Regarding the cat-loving group: 438070604) Even if I post pictures of myself in women's clothing, nobody joins? 233

Chapter 234

"here we go again!"

She frantically turned her head left and right to look around, but in such darkness, it would be a miracle if she could see anything. Only the approaching footsteps seemed to be pounding on her heart, almost driving her to a complete mental breakdown.

"I'll kill you... I'm going to kill you!"

"clatter."

Based on his memory, the boy threw a piece of wood towards the wall next to the leader. People who are nervous cannot make accurate judgments and subconsciously swing the water pipe with all their might towards the direction of the sound!

"when!"

The water pipe that hit the wall generated a tremendous recoil force, which numbed her hands, making it impossible for her to hold the weapon.

The footsteps continued at a leisurely pace. The woman, whose mind had completely collapsed, groped around aimlessly in the darkness, crawling on the ground searching for the water pipe she had just thrown away. As she searched, she made noises, completely revealing her location.

"Iron pipe? Where is my iron pipe? Damn it, what's going on? What happened? What's going on?"

She screamed into the darkness to vent her fear until a pair of hands cupped her cheeks from behind.

At this moment, the leader of the group, just like her younger sister, let out a terrified scream.

"In this way, my abilities will also be applicable to you."

A sound as if from hell reached my ears.

"Don't worry, you'll be with your friends too..."

"It all ended before I could even feel the pain."

The owner of those hands quietly retreated, as if saying goodbye to himself.

"Wait a moment!"

The leader felt like she was going crazy; faced with unprecedented pressure to die, she couldn't care about anything else.

She was young and hadn't even thought about what death meant to her. Suddenly, she had to face such a terrifying existence, and she completely broke down.

"It was my fault! I'll stop immediately! So..."

The leader was still trying to beg for mercy, but the man who had killed three of her companions, as if devoid of emotion, handed her the judgment of death.

"Now all I have to do is wave my hand."

In the darkness, the gang leader seemed to vaguely see the man's raised arm.

"three."

"two."

"one."

As the countdown ended, the boy's hand swung down heavily as if to sever her soul. The fear, exceeding the critical point, instantly caused the gang leader's mind to freeze, and she was scared unconscious.

"Well, it's just a paper firecracker."

The boy, who had turned on the light, glanced at the paper in his hand.

Just then, a sudden round of applause erupted from behind him.

The boy turned around and saw a familiar figure walking in from outside the door.

"Wow! I'm really enjoying a good show."

Misaka stepped out of the shadows into the brightly lit room, muttering to herself, "I was planning to intervene if things got bad, but you easily subdued so many armed but powerless individuals. And all with just words and acting."

Misaka's gaze lingered on the transparent sticker in the other person's palm, where a tiny needle was fixed in the center of the sticker.

"Is this some kind of anesthetic injection technique?"

He talked on and on, but the boy opposite him didn't respond at all, just staring at him silently with dead fish eyes...

This guy's eyes are a bit scary. Even Misaka felt a chill for no reason. It's understandable that the female thugs were frightened.

"What, what's wrong?"

Misaka also sensed something odd about the other person's reaction; it was as if he recognized her? Although the name "A Certain Scientific Railgun" was known to everyone in Academy City, this guy's gaze was different from that of a typical person...

Cold sweat began to break out on her forehead without her noticing. Just as Misaka was about to get straight to the point, the man finally spoke.

"You...you are the 'original body', right?"

"Original...version?"

Misaka looked completely bewildered. What was that all about?

"You must have heard the rumors, right?"

The boy turned around to tidy up his things.

"The rumor refers to..."

Misaka's mind flashed back to the "LV.5 esper military cloning project," which was also one of the most popular legends in Academy City recently.

"Hmph! I thought it was something serious, turns out there are curious kids like this at Changdian Computer Academy too."

Misaka walked over with her eyes closed, feigning nonchalance, and casually asked, "So? What do you know about that rumor..."

Before Misaka could even finish her smug look or her pretentious question, the man who had already packed his bag swung it at her slightly upturned head.

"Ugh..."

Misaka squatted down in response, making a whimpering sound like a puppy that has been scolded.

"You are a junior high school student, and I am a high school student. You should understand the principle of respecting elders. Simply put, you cannot speak without regard to age."

Facing Misaka, who was crouching on the ground clutching her head in pain, another boy offered a lecture to his senior.

"Um... do you know any details about that rumor?"

Rubbing her aching head, Misaka obediently adopted polite language, albeit under duress.

"More than you know."

The boy turned his head away and said, "However, compared to before I quit, the content and purpose seem to have changed a lot."
