"My elder sister hasn't returned to the dormitory yet, Mr. Fang Zheng, is she at your place?"
"No."
Fang Zheng glanced out the window and then answered.
“I see…”
"I'll go look for her. Maybe she went out to play somewhere and forgot the time."
"My elder sister would never do such a thing... But I'm still leaving it to you, Mr. Fang Zheng."
"You are welcome."
After hanging up the call with Heizi, Fang Zheng had already gotten into the car. He then stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
In fact, when Lei Zi took out the cash card, Fang Zheng had almost guessed what happened, but he did not expect that problems would occur one after another in such a short period of time... From a certain perspective, this is indeed a headache.
Therefore, after receiving Heizi's call, Fang Zheng drove out directly to look for someone.
It was not difficult for Fang Zheng to find Misaka Mikoto. As a prophecy mage, he also had the "Whispering Volume" in his hand, so it was easy for him to find someone. Fang Zheng drove past only two intersections and saw Misaka Mikoto running on the street - so Fang Zheng immediately turned the steering wheel and pulled over to the curb in front.
"Hey, Misaka, Kuroko is looking for you, why don't you call back?"
"Mr. Fang Zheng!"
Misaka Mikoto was also surprised to see Fang Zheng appear. Then she seemed to have thought of something, opened the car door, got in, and quickly gave an address.
"Please take me here immediately! Please."
Misaka Mikoto also knew about Fang Zheng's driving skills. He was the type of person who had excellent driving skills and a strong sense of speed, but no one would dare to ride in a car. If it were a normal day, Misaka Mikoto would probably think twice even if Fang Zheng asked her to drive him, but now it was urgent and she couldn't care about that.
"No problem, three minutes."
Fang Zheng nodded after hearing the address Misaka Mikoto said, then stepped on the accelerator again. Soon, accompanied by the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, Fang Zheng's car sped out like an arrow.
Misaka Mikoto squinted her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the car lights. In her eyes, the lights around her turned into rays of light, so much so that Misaka Mikoto had the illusion that she was traveling at faster-than-light speed. Then she felt that the car she was riding in was just like a car that could squeeze in wherever there was space, sometimes inserting itself here and there.
When it reached the bend, instead of slowing down, it accelerated, did a tailspin, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, giving people the feeling that the car was about to fly. Then Misaka Mikoto saw that the end of the road in front of her was getting closer and closer, closer and closer...
"squeak--!!"
With an ear-piercing friction sound, the car stopped steadily on the side of the road. Misaka Mikoto pushed open the door and jumped out. On the one hand, she was really anxious, and on the other hand, it was also an instinctive reaction.
Soon, Misaka Mikoto saw a figure moving slowly not far under the bridge.
That was a girl who wore the same Tokiwadai school uniform as her. Misaka Mikoto would certainly not forget her, because not long ago, they were together, saving kittens together, eating ice cream together, shopping together... Although there were some not-so-pleasant memories, they were so vivid when she thought about them now.
But now, the girl who looked exactly like her was covered in blood. She slowly grabbed a badge on the ground and held it tightly in her arms.
A huge black shadow fell from the sky and smashed towards the girl.
"stop--!!"
Seeing this scene, Misaka Mikoto felt her blood was about to freeze, and at this moment...
“Shua——”
A ray of light flashed, and the next moment the huge black shadow was cut into pieces, turning into fragments that whistled and disappeared in the storm. Misaka Mikoto didn't care what happened, she ran down the bridge and came to the girl at the fastest speed.
"Hey, cheer up!"
“…Onee-sama?”
The face that looked exactly like Misaka Mikoto was looking at her with obvious surprise.
"Why is onee-sama here? Misaka asked in great surprise."
"Now is not the time to talk about this, you..."
However, Misaka Mikoto didn't finish her words, because at this moment she had already seen the empty space under the girl's skirt, and the legs not far away that looked like discarded garbage...
At this moment, Misaka Mikoto completely exploded.
“Aaaaaaah!!”
She stood up angrily and rushed towards the white-haired young man not far away. Along with Misaka Mikoto's roar, a fierce roar of thunder and lightning broke out and blasted directly towards the other party.
However, Misaka Mikoto's electric shock did not hit the target. On the contrary, before hitting the young man, her electric shock was blocked as if it encountered an invisible barrier.
But this did not stop Misaka Mikoto. This was the first time she felt so angry since she was born. At this moment, she really hoped to cut the bastard in front of her into pieces!
The missed strike did not stop Misaka Mikoto. The raging lightning spread wildly, tearing down the surrounding rails in a matter of minutes, and then threw it at the opponent again. But this time - the result was still the same. The whizzing rails bounced away before they hit the person, as if they had hit an invisible and extremely hard wall.
But Misaka Mikoto didn't care, because at the same time the rails fell, a coin had already spun out from her fingers, turning into a torrent of light and shooting out - then it bounced back almost brushing Misaka Mikoto's ear and hit the container behind Misaka Mikoto heavily.
Until this moment, Misaka Mikoto, who was extremely angry just now, finally sobered up a little. She stared blankly at the white-haired young man in front of her, and was completely speechless for a while. She was the third-ranked Lv5 in Academy City, and in the previous round of attack, Misaka Mikoto had almost used all her skills, but why? Why was it completely useless against this person?
He was not like Fang Zheng or the hedgehog-head who invalidated his ability and bounced it back. In fact, Misaka Mikoto didn't really want to kill him with that attack just now. When she attacked, Misaka Mikoto instinctively deviated from the vital point, and because of this, she escaped.
Otherwise, this shot might have blown her head off.
"I see."
At this moment, the white-haired young man also reacted and looked at Misaka Mikoto with a smile.
"I just feel that this is a bit strange, this power... you are the 'prototype'!"
"Why! Why would you do such a thing?!"
Staring at the white-haired young man in front of her, Misaka Mikoto shouted angrily, but in response to her question, the man just chuckled and stretched out his hand.
"Reason? Ask me for a reason? Of course it's to gain absolute power!"
As he spoke, he shook her hand.
"It's not Level 5, nor is it the strongest in Academy City. It's the absolute power that I don't allow others to challenge me! What I want is invincible power!"
"Just, just for this... just for this?!"
Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto's body couldn't help but tremble. In fact, until this moment, she almost knew the true identity of the man in front of her. When he said "the strongest in Academy City", his identity was already obvious.
But even so, even so...!!
However, at this moment, a hand pressed her shoulder.
"Okay, Misaka, let me do it."
"Hey? Mr. Fang Zheng?"
Looking at Fang Zheng who appeared beside her, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but be stunned.
“But, but…”
"It's okay, it's okay, just leave it to me."
After patting Misaka Mikoto on the head, Fang Zheng turned around and looked at the young man in front of him.
"Invincible? Absolute power? Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's really what a middle school kid would say."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out, picked up a small stone from the ground, threw it up, and then held it.
"I don't even dare to say that I'm invincible, but you have lofty ideals."
Damn it, I have to be cautious and cautious in front of Chaos, and you, a little kid at level 5, dare to say you are invincible? You are so ignorant and fearless that Fang Zheng couldn't even laugh.
"Who are you?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the white-haired young man's expression suddenly turned gloomy and he glared at him fiercely.
"It doesn't matter who I am, anyway..."
Having said that, Fang Zheng held the small stone in his hand and threw it forward.
"You're almost going to die here anyway."
“——!!”
No one knew what happened, because at the moment Fang Zheng threw the small stone, the white-haired young man's body trembled suddenly, and then a roaring airflow rushed towards him, causing Misaka Mikoto to stretch out her hand to cover her face.
When she put her hands down again, everything in front of her completely stunned Misaka Mikoto.
Not far in front of them, the white-haired young man was still standing there, while the ground dozens of meters around him had completely sunk. Looking up at the sky, one could even clearly see layers of holes in the clouds in the night sky, as if they had been completely pierced through by something.
The next moment...
"puff!!"
Blood splattered.
Bright red blood spurted out from the mouth, nose, eyes, and ears of the white-haired young man, and the capillaries in his body burst completely at this moment. Then the white-haired young man fell to the ground with a bang without a sound.
"It seems to have missed the mark a bit."
Fang Zheng scratched his head and then looked up at the sky.
"But it doesn't matter, it's all the same anyway..."
