Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Chapter 415: Attack of Mugino Shenli

It is not difficult for Mugino Shenli to figure out that this mission is just a game between the upper levels.

This earthquake, which had Academy City's secret second school district as its source and spread to the entire island nation, was the result of a certain director or research institution's wanton behavior, and the entire ANBU would have been ordered to be purged long ago.

Only the authority of the chairman can prevent this from happening.

The current tepid investigation mission is more like the Board of Directors taking advantage of the current unstable situation to fish in troubled waters by skirting around.

——What she can understand is limited to this.

However, even so, Mugino Shenli has no intention of getting to the bottom of things.

It doesn't matter to her whether the 'dragon''s true form is a killer weapon that can cause earthquakes and other natural disasters at will.

After all, she didn't want to get involved in troublesome things like battles between leaders.

The purpose of "props" is to prevent high-level officials or extremely secretive groups from losing control. This must be done properly.

"Just call it a day and go back."

There was no reason to stay anyway, and Mugino Shenli was not going to waste time and gave the order to retreat.

Amidst Frenda's cheers, the props staff quickly fixed their goals and walked towards the outside of the building.

But at the end of the line, there was a person who gradually walked slower and slower, and when he was about to leave the gate, he even stopped altogether.

This kind of behavior that goes against Mugino Shenli's orders would have been scolded and questioned by anyone else.

But Mugino Shenri couldn't simply ignore this girl's reaction.

She looked at the girl who was staring blankly inside the building and frowned.

"Takitsubo, did you find anything?"

"No, but the AIM position here...is so confusing."

After coming back to her senses, Takitsubo Rikou replied expressionlessly. Then, she turned around and followed him as if she hadn't said anything.

However, the state of looking back from time to time, eyes wandering, as if out of focus, has not changed.

Mugino Shenli suddenly felt a little weak.

Her personality and gentleness are not compatible at all, but sometimes, in her opinion, Flanda, who is often startled, is easier to get along with than Riko Takitsubo, who doesn't even complain and obeys orders obediently. .

To be honest, she really didn't understand what Takitsubo Rikou, who was always sleepy-eyed, was thinking about.

Although judging from the consistent results, every judgment made by Takitsubo Rikou is very reliable, but this subtle behavior can still easily make people sigh helplessly.

"I want to go back and rest early. Staying up late is a woman's biggest enemy. Mugino, let's go quickly. We have already got the things anyway. It doesn't matter if there are any abnormalities here."

Seeing Mugino Shenli also stop, the little blond girl who was leading the way stopped and turned her head to urge her.

"It's so noisy, Frenda, do you think the chaos Takitsubo feels is the same as the chaos you said?"

Mugino Shenli glared at Frenda, and his eyes became a little more ferocious. The girl was so frightened that she immediately shrank behind Kinuhata, who was smaller than herself, and crossed her legs obediently.

"It's chaotic, Takitsubo is not easy either." Kinuhata's favorite also sighed.

As a newcomer to ITEM, she has a certain understanding of the companions she will face.

As a superpower, Mugino Shimuri is a well-deserved leader in terms of hard power and combat experience, but the core of ITEM has always been the seemingly weak Takitsubo Rigo.

——Her ability is called Ability Tracking.

This ability allows the user to clearly sense the AIM force field that cannot be observed under normal circumstances, and can even lock the position of any specific type of AIM force field.

In other words, the whereabouts of any ability user can be tracked.

The battle between ability users is very similar to that of stand-ins. Except for a few who are full of invincible abilities, the advantages that intelligence can bring are unparalleled.

Takitsubo Riko's existence can ensure that ITEM can maintain its proactive position no matter what difficulties and failures it encounters.

Whether it is to regroup and counterattack later, or to prepare for a sudden sneak attack.

Because of this, even though Takitsubo Rikou, as a person of great ability, has far less combat power than those of the same level, her importance is higher than everyone else.

In past battles, they had also faced espers who had become tattered during the research project, or synthetic beasts created by combining esper cells.

However, those twisted things with an ominous aura on the surface have never made Takitsubo Rikou give a comment like chaos. It can be seen that there must be something terrible hidden in the building behind them.

As for the specific scale and how difficult it is, it is not something that Kinuhata Favorite can know.

"In this way, I also felt a strange aura before, but because everything went so smoothly, I forgot about it."

"Is it too smooth?"

Hearing Kinuhata's favorite addition, Mugino's lips curled up into a ferocious smile unconsciously.

She touched the metal armband on her hand and glanced at the dim light of the electronic light above.

The other three girls with props also have similar items equipped on their hands.

This is the equipment sent along with the information before the mission is issued.

——A program-controlled electromagnetic armband in order to prepare for possible encounters with that psychological master.

Because there was no reason for the abnormality to occur, they almost ignored this inconspicuous piece of equipment.

"Although the guys at the top are all bastards who can only shirk responsibility and can't hold anything but conspiracy and calculation in their heads, they are not diligent enough to do useless work."

Mugino's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he looked at the building behind him.

"Since they have been specially given such equipment, it means they think that there is a high probability that we will encounter the psychological master. Otherwise, there is no need to invade an ordinary research institute."

"Mugino, you mean...but this armband didn't even issue a warning?"

Frenda also frowned, but there was still some disbelief on her face.

"Because there is absolutely no need to send it. The trap has not been activated. This is not the level of contempt. It is like deliberately sending us away."

Mugino Shenli shrugged his shoulders and moved his wrist.

"It's fine if I made a mistake in my judgment, but - if the reason why this operation went so smoothly is because the guy with the psychological control thinks that our ITEM is a wild dog that will happily leave after throwing a bone..."

At this point, the girl's beautiful face had become distorted, filled with violent murderous intent.

For ordinary people, this may be more than less, but for Mugino Shenli, being calculated like this by the fifth person below him is undoubtedly the greatest humiliation.

"Then if she just dies, she won't have any complaints."

Mugino silently turned his gaze to Takitsubo Rigo next to him.

Takitsubo continued to stretch out his arms and legs feebly.

The reason why her words and actions are so blank must be because she is constantly affected by other people's AIM diffusion fields.

“The search object is ‘psychological mastery’?”

"That's right. Although you haven't memorized it, you should be able to do it based on the range of ability data and spiritual system."

When Mugino said this, Takitsubo took out a small transparent box containing a body crystal from his pocket. This product can induce the power to go berserk, but it is now an indispensable prop for her to activate her power.

After using the body crystal, Takitsubo's eyes immediately regained their light and he straightened his back.

"The AIM diffusion field search has begun. The search for similar or similar AIM diffusion fields has been stopped. Only a single AIM diffusion field that meets the conditions is reported. There are five seconds left before the search is completed."

Accompanied by the girl's mechanical voice.

After that, the correct answer that made Mugino Shenli sneer was finally revealed.

"Conclusion——"Psychological Control" is in this building."

----

"This is really..." Roland didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Seeing the reaction of the prop clearly, he immediately understood why Shokuhou Misaki was so wary of the people around him and thought that he could not be trusted.

When she knows that the enemy is her, whether it goes well or not, the enemy will blame her for their doubts.

It is clear that the AIM surrounding it is an unknown type born from the combination of external brain and magnetic field rotation.

Roland also took the initiative to turn off the trap because he wanted to observe the ITEM, but Shokuhou Caoqi, who was sleeping, firmly took the blame for him.

“What is this, a scientific version of absolute evil in this world?”

Roland touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"It's just that compared to Mugino Shenli, the ability to track, which I ignored in the past, seems to be better in terms of value. The appearance of Wukou also suits my taste. Well, since it was delivered to my door on my own initiative, a little It’ll be okay if you use it for a while…”

——While Roland was frowning and thinking about major events in life.

"……call."

He suddenly noticed that the touch from his thigh also suddenly changed subtly.

The girl's hot breathing was obviously stronger than before, and there was also a slight disturbance in the rhythm.

Although the girl still had her eyes tightly closed when she looked down, her lovely face that turned extremely red at a speed visible to the naked eye had revealed everything.

Looking at the girl who was still pretending to be asleep, Roland laughed, but he didn't reveal it directly. Instead, he stretched out his hand and moved it from the girl's silky hair to the fair face.

When his fingertips touched the warm face, Roland could clearly feel the girl's body tremble subconsciously.

But even so, Shokuhou-san's eyelids were still tightly closed, showing no signs of opening.

"Hey," the smile on Roland's face became a little deeper. If he didn't wake up like this, he probably acquiesced.

As a result, his actions became even more excessive.

His fingers touched the girl's red lips, and then nimbly moved around the white teeth.

The unexpected Shokuhou Caoqi had no time to react, and for a moment he could only let Roland do what he did.

When the churning sound became louder and louder, Shokuhou Misaki's shame finally overcame his desire to win. He bit Roland's finger fiercely and opened his eyes.

"Good morning, Shokuhou-san, did you sleep well?"

Roland showed a joking smile.

He didn't care about the coquettish biting force, and Shokuhou Misaki let out a muffled sound of surprise and anger, and gently pointed at the girl's lips.

This made Shokuhou Misaki, who was just about to launch an attack to accuse him, his eyes widened. After realizing it, he loosened his mouth and wiped the corners of his lips with great effort.

"Mr. Roland is indeed a very perverted person!"

The angry girl smoothed her raised hair in dissatisfaction and glared at Roland with feigned ferocity.

This look is more like coquettishness than complaining.

"According to my standards, if you want to reach a level with high metamorphosis power, this kind of playful method is not enough." Roland touched his chin and chuckled, "You have to use your mouth anyway. Bar."

"Wow, I actually said it..."

Because this speech was too righteous, Shokuhou Misaki, who had seen the darkness of many people's hearts, was a little overwhelmed.

But since there is no unpleasant or unhappy emotion, in a sense, such a casual conversation is proof that the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds.

"However, let's put these things aside for now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

But when there was something serious to do, Roland did not put the cart before the horse. He simply relayed the previous situation to Shokuhou Misaki.

"ITEM, the ANBU organization? Most likely it is for the purpose of using the information to replace the brain..."

After realizing the development of the matter, Shokuhou Misaki's expression gradually became serious.

She stood up while supporting Roland's body, and was about to walk out when she suddenly turned around as if she had thought of something.

"Speaking of which, the intruders this time are only the fourth and her team."

Roland raised his eyebrows and understood the implication of the girl's words.

"Although she does want to fight you one-on-one, your ability in a duel is probably restrained by her."

"If it was before, it would be true, but it is completely different now. It would be too shameful to receive such a generous gift but not grow at all."

Shokuhou Misaki turned his head and looked at Roland with a smile.

"And even if something dangerous happens, you will protect me, right?"

"of course."

Roland looked at the girl unabashedly.

"The only thing I can't accept is having my things taken away."

Although this was not the first time he heard this, Shokuhou Misaki's face, which had just calmed down, quickly turned red again for such a straight shot.

But now she couldn't even refute, so she was ready to walk outside, hiding her shyness by facing the enemy.

However, before she started to act, Roland naturally hugged her waist and pulled her back gently.

"You shouldn't be mean at this moment, I can go by myself..."

Shokuhou Misaki, who thought Roland was going to give her a ride again in the same princess-hugging manner she did last time, protested weakly, but her hands that couldn't help but hooked around Roland's neck revealed her true thoughts.

This look was in stark contrast to her previous attitude of being fully prepared and resolute.

But this relaxed look that only appeared when he was around him was proof of his trust.

"I don't mind if you want it this way, but I probably won't be able to do it this time, after all."

Roland smiled slightly and looked at the wall next to him.

The next second, a green beam of light flew towards him, directly shattering everything in its path.

"——They are already here."
