Facing this golden treasure chest, Shen He was a little nervous.

For this battle, he had consumed most of his battle cards. With only one intermediate time-limited reinforcement card left, it was impossible for him to confront Misaka Mikoto Alter head-on, not to mention the enemy who undoubtedly possessed the Holy Grail.

So - there must be a trump card to turn the tables.

Open the treasure chest!

There was no extra cool movement, no extra light, the treasure chest in the backpack disappeared, replaced by a golden card.

Advanced time-limited reinforcement card!

"Huh -"

Shen He exhaled a long breath, and the whole person was as comfortable as if he had just climbed out of a hot spring.

Although the probability of opening a reinforcement card from a treasure chest is very high, if a nine-hour advanced delay card is opened, wouldn't it be a big loss.

But there is only one chance, you have to find the final boss, and it is best to use it in the battle for the Holy Grail.

"Next..." Misaka Mikoto looked at Shen He with obvious expectation in her eyes.

"We need to get more information." Shen He shook his head helplessly. "The props to remove the seal have been used up for the time being. Our strength will soon fall. We can only hope that there will be no such hard battle next time. However... Kanzaki, is there any way to restrict the actions of the saint?"

According to the information Shen He knows, for the water in the back who yearns for order and removes chaos, the real enemy should be the source of chaos, Misaka Mikoto alter.

In other words, the water in the back, which has been eliminated from the frenzy of the Holy Grail, is a saint-level combat force that can be fought for.

However, before confirming this, his actions must be restrained.

"Yes." Kanzaki Kaori nodded affirmatively, "The saint can only borrow the power of the Son of God because part of his body is the same as the Son of God, but he also has his weaknesses, that is, the huge cross, the sharp iron nails, and the crown made of thorns."

These three things represent [the execution of the Son of God]. Even if a saint is nailed to a huge cross with iron nails and a crown of thorns, he will be temporarily deprived of the power of the saint.

"Then do it." Shen He looked around and decided not to waste any more time. "Restrict his movements, and then I'll take you to a safe place to rest for a while."

No one else had any objections.

They found Kamijou Touma and others, and then Shen He took them away.

It was only about three or four minutes later that Shokuhou Misaki and his men arrived at the scene, but they were faced with an empty and desolate scene.

"Let's go back!"

Shokuhou Misaki gritted her teeth and suddenly regretted not agreeing to Kamijou Touma's request when he came to the door.

On the other side, Shen He and others came to an underground experimental base of a hidden research institute.

This base is obviously an abnormal experimental base, because of the remaining cold experimental iron beds, machine guns hidden in the dark, and even many equipment that are scary at first glance.

But now there are quite a lot of people gathered here, nearly thousands of them, some with abilities, some without abilities, all of them are ordinary students who don't want to participate in the cruel war.

"Where is Kushiro Kaguya?" Shen He is very familiar with this place, and directly asked where the student in charge is.

Not long after waiting, Kushiro Veiko, who was dressed very gloomy, strode over.

"You all know about the battle just now." Shen He explained briefly, "Although we won, we were all injured. We will come to your place to rest for a while. Just let us have a more spacious room. We have our own food and water." "Okay

." Kushiro Veiko didn't say much.

They were all people who were gathered here to receive help. They would get enough food from Shen He every day, but no one dared to say anything about this level of provision.

However, when Kushiro Veiko left, her eyes stayed on Misaka Mikoto, who was wearing a jacket, a baseball cap and a mask, for a while, and a suspicious look appeared in her eyes.

"Why are you still noticed even though you are dressed like this?" Misaka Mikoto didn't dare to complain until the other party left.

"Because I've seen too much."

Shen He shook his head and lifted up the water behind him, who was nailed to the cross. Behind him were Kihara Suta and Qianfeng, who were all captives.

After a simple bucket of water, Houfangzhishui woke up first.

The pain of his wrists and ankles pierced by iron nails was nothing, and the suppression of the saint's power was nothing. What really made him breathless was the "power of the Lord" that was not so powerful.

God's judgment.

The second level of confinement imposed on him by Joan of Arc.

"You should know what happened." Shen He looked at Houfangzhishui, who seemed to have regained his clarity, and called him by his real name, "William, who made you crazy?"

"..."

A short silence, as if digesting everything that happened.

"I don't know." In the end, Houfangzhishui gave this answer, "I came to check the source of the disaster. I was near the people who started the war, and was affected by an inexplicable force... It is very close to the power that is now bestowed on me, just like the anger of the Lord."

"Think about it carefully." Shen He continued to ask, "What kind of people were around you at that time? No one should be able to approach you quietly."

"... Ordinary students, clones, there are more than a dozen."

Houfangzhishui seemed to cooperate with his prisoner status very well. He did not struggle, nor did he choose to remain silent.

"Is that so..." Shen He lowered his head and thought.

Now it is basically certain that the one who holds the Holy Grail will not be Misaka Mikoto Alter. Even Black Cannon Sister would not do such a sneaky thing.

"Mikoto." Shen He looked at Misaka Mikoto and Accelerator again, "During your investigation, did you find any suspicious people around Misaka Mikoto Alter?"

"Yes." Accelerator spoke first, "I investigated the place where Last Order was imprisoned. Those bastards were still clamoring about 'the big sister's concubine' when they were about to die. If the memory of that woman is the same as the third one, then this 'concubine' should be a very suspicious person."

"——She is not a suspicious person!"

Misaka Mikoto blushed and screamed.

Kuroko, that bastard, actually let such a shameful self-proclaimed name spread.

And with this guy's perversion, he might do all kinds of perverted things to the Misaka sisters. As expected, he should have roasted his head with a voltage of 100,000 volts before!

"Kuroko..." Shen He was indeed thinking seriously, "Is it possible that Kuroko has the Holy Grail? He made a wish for Misaka Mikoto to stay with her forever, and as a result, he created Misaka Mikoto alter?"

This possibility cannot be ruled out. The omnipotent wishing machine is sometimes a big scam.

"..." Misaka Mikoto was silent.

She couldn't understand what the Holy Grail was, but with Kuroko's personality, it was entirely possible that he would make such a wish.

And according to the information she had investigated, Shirai Kuroko, and even Hatsuharu Shikiri, had always stayed by the side of another Misaka Mikoto.

"List Shirai Kuroko as one of the suspicious objects." Shen He could only say this in the end.

After all, Shirai Kuroko is not the protagonist, and most of the plots given are about perverted cases, so Shen He's impression of her is only the word perverted, and he doesn't know how much justice she has as a member of the Discipline Committee.

Now that the suspect has been found, the next step is to learn as much as possible about the enemy's remaining combat power.

"William." Shen He looked at Houfangzhishui again, "How many magicians are there in the other Misaka Mikoto? Or how many people with special abilities are there, you should be clear about this."

Madness is just a change of state, not a change of personality. Memory will not change, but the way of looking at memory will change, so Houfangzhishui should know a lot of things.

"No, as for magicians, there are only me and Qianfeng." Houfangzhishui glanced at Qianfeng who was lying on the ground, "I don't know about the superpowers... to destroy Kamijou Touma and everyone around him, we just received such an order tonight... It's really humiliating."

For Houfangzhishui, this is indeed a complete humiliation.

He was obviously here to solve the chaos, but he created the biggest chaos since the war began.

"The target is Kamijou Touma?" Shen He raised his eyebrows.

He thought quickly in his mind, and recalled the plot quickly in his mind as if playing a movie.

Here, only he can stand in the perspective of God and see the true emotions and goals of each character.

I must have overlooked something, Shen He thought.

Everyone else looked at him silently, even the water behind him, did not say anything like "I can help".

"Knock knock knock."

However, at this time, there was an urgent knock on the door.

Misaka Mikoto put on her hat and mask at the first time.

"Kushiro Veiko, what happened?" Shen He looked at Kushiro Veiko with a panicked face behind the door in some surprise.

"The army, the army is attacking Academy City!" Kushiro Veiko showed Shen He the mobile phone that she was tightly holding in her hand.

It was a video shot by a student on his cell phone, and then posted on the intranet. At the edge of the Academy City, dense armed helicopters appeared in the air, and then fully armed soldiers jumped down along the ropes one by one. There were even fierce explosions in the picture. Obviously, the special forces of the Academy City had already exchanged fire with the invading army.

And below the video, there were comments from students.

"It's an Apache armed helicopter."

"US military, this is the US military!"

"I'm an American citizen! I'm in the ah-12 dormitory of the seventh school district! Come and take me away!"

Shen He looked at the comments one by one. As long as he thought calmly, he could roughly guess why other countries chose to invade at this time. After experiencing the shocking and brutal battle just now, most people would think that both sides of the war would definitely suffer losses, and this is the best time to reap the benefits.
