It must have been a simple mission.

Actually, Amy thought so too, and it was clear that she had entrusted me with the mission.

Trap or coincidence?

The thought didn’t last long.

Peeing-!

“Ugh!”

He lets out a short scream and hides behind the wall.

The bullets flying from all directions were powerful enough to punch holes in the walls.

As it was a factory complex in District 15, the enemy’s movements were bold.

It was a movement that was confident that the police would not be called out no matter what they did.

“Amy! I got it!”

Chijijik-

I called Amy through the receiver, but there was no answer.

Jamming.

The radio waves that were covering the entire factory complex were interfering with reception.

I frowned.

Drrr!

A continuous burst of gunfire.

The wall that was hiding the body begins to crumble.

Amy told me not to use my powers if possible…

The worry didn’t last long.

After stuffing the recovered box into the bag, he kicked the ground.

The moment you jump off the collapsing wall, a blue lightning bolt bursts out from under your feet.

acceleration.

The scenery becomes stretched out into lines in an instant.

Since it is a lower area, it is highly unlikely that there will be people with higher abilities.

There was no one here to stop me now.

The body flying through the wind rises into the air.

The late-blowing wind flutters my hair.

Take advantage of the brief pause to look around.

Seeing as there was no commotion except on my side, I guess I was out of luck.

The building that Amy and Rainshine infiltrated was quiet.

Even though they said there were no police, there was no benefit to making a fuss.

As soon as the aerial battle ends and you land on the ground, another attack comes flying in.

A bullet flying through the wind.

The moment the bullet’s movement is captured in the current field that spreads out in a circle.

The body reacts.

Take a step to the right. Then immediately bend down.

It lies flat on the ground like a cat, then jumps up again.

Tadadadang-!

Immediately after that, as if they had been waiting, dozens of bullets landed where I was standing.

I looked in the direction the bullet came from.

It’s a nuisance.

It doesn’t give you any time to concentrate at all.

It was a natural behavior on their part, but it was frustrating for me as the one being targeted.

Amy said.

The people guarding this place are not connected to the research institute.

With a low sigh, electricity gathers at the tips of your fingers.

Bright lights attract attention.

No matter how fast I move, it won’t be hard to find my figure covered in blue light.

Even if you run hard through the narrow alleys, it won’t be long before you’re met with gunfire.

Of course, I needed to contact Amy.

Unless otherwise instructed, it would be foolish to attack rashly.

The Resistance has been receiving more attention than it deserves during past missions.

To those who do not know the circumstances, what we did was simply terrorism, so there was nothing we could do.

Baby.

Little Amy, who had been hiding in my hair, responded to my words.

The properties of a widely spread current field change.

The range expands and the flow of jamming waves that were covering this area is traced.

After that, he swung his hand and struck the ground.

The blue electricity wrapped around his hand spreads out across the ground.

The blue lightning spreads out widely, following the trace of the current field and flying towards the place where the jamming signal is emitted.

Ordinary mechanical devices were vulnerable to electric powers.

Phagejik-

The machines that were emitting jamming signals were powered down.

Chijik-

The receiver worn on your ear begins to pick up faint radio waves.

“Amy? Amy, can you hear me?”

[Jeff? Are you okay? Where are you hurt?]

“I’m fine!”

He hides behind the wall while answering.

[Aren’t you fighting right now?]

“Yes. I’m just avoiding it. I’ve also recovered the target.”

The moment I finished speaking into the receiver.

A sharp, pinging sound pierced my ears.

High decibels, and a sharp pain at the same time.

His cheek was slightly torn, and a red drop of blood formed.

“Ugh.”

He looked in the direction the attack came from, caressing his cheek.

No matter how much I changed the properties of the electric field, I couldn’t miss the attack that was coming at me.

But the baby didn’t give me any warning.

That means it wasn’t a simple attack.

I threw the machine parts that fell from my ears onto the floor.

The receiver was destroyed.

This is a big deal.

Amy would be worried.

The moment I thought that, a sharp sound pierced my ears again.

Phew-!

My body is swaying.

The pain came late.

shoulder.

Phew-!

leg.

A red stream of blood pours down onto the floor.

The wound is shallow.

However, I couldn’t read my opponent’s attacks.

I don’t even know the direction of the attack.

When attacking the arm, use the right side.

When attacking the bridge, use the left side.

If there are more than two opponents, it means that the speed of the one attacking me is very fast.

I moved right away.

Now that our location was discovered, it was foolish to continue standing in one place.

Peeeing-

Again.

That sharp sound was heard again.

Dismissal-

A violent explosion occurs in the heart, and electric shocks explode throughout the body.

bang!

A small explosion occurred on the ground I was standing on, and my entire body was enveloped in blue light.

Forced entry into origin state.

I barely manage to twist my body to avoid the attack.

An attack that grazes the shoulder pierces the wall.

Without Rain’s help, the Origin state could not have been maintained for long.

The body’s remaining power is instantly reduced.

Activation beyond limits.

The body becomes tired quickly.

Little Amy.

The baby is also affected by my condition.

Now that we have entered the origin state.

That ability has also been expanded.

A change occurs in the widely spread current field.

Phew-!

The sharp sound was heard again.

At the same time, I could tell from which direction the attack came.

Track the flow.

Once the direction of flight is calculated, the movement around it is immediately read.

All of this happened almost simultaneously.

Found it.

An opponent moving at very fast speed.

He turned his body and moved to another place at the same time as the attack.

What would Amy do in this situation?

If my guess is correct, the ability user attacking me right now is definitely someone from the research lab.

If so, that means you’re a bad person.

My fist is clenched.

Amy had shown it before.

What to do with bad people.

Move.

The moment I thought that, my body had already arrived there.

The moment your feet touch the ground.

Look at the opponent in front of you.

Moving this far drained half of the power in my body.

The opponent seemed unaware that I had arrived behind him, and was holding a thin stick to his mouth with a strange smile on his face.

It looks like it’s shooting a poisonous needle.

Perhaps what he was holding in his hand was a weapon.

The thought didn’t last long.

He immediately throws a punch and hits his opponent.

The fist extended straight out, clearly aiming for the opponent’s head.

But, something strange was pushing my hand away.

A transparent wall that is soft yet has strong repulsive power.

But that’s it.

I frowned and fired a lightning strike.

Phagecic-!

Blue flashes of light spread out in all directions, shocking the opponent.

The opponent’s body convulses and falls over in the blue light that burns his entire body.

The opponent fell down with his eyes white and foaming at the mouth.

But don’t approach it rashly.

This could all have been an act.

I liked the certainty.

Aim your finger at the fallen opponent and fire.

Phagejik-

A blue flash of light bursts from the tip of the finger and engulfs the opponent’s body.

And repeat the action.

Phagecic-!

Phagecic-!

Phagecic-!

Every time you get hit by lightning, your skin turns black.

His hair also burns and gives off a foul odor.

But it doesn’t stop.

More specifically, it has to be harpooned so that it cannot move.

Phagecic-!

“After…”

He lets out a deep sigh and lowers his hands.

At the same time, the blue light that had been enveloping my entire body fades.

It was hard to believe that the opponent, who was burnt black along with the floor, was a living person.

If it weren’t for the faint sound of breathing, I would have thrown away the interest.

The information was very important.

I had to get everything I could get.

I grabbed my opponent’s charred ankle and dragged him out of the factory complex.

***

“Jeff!”

As I left the factory complex and headed to the meeting place, Amy ran up to me and hugged me.

I leaned my staggering body against her and pointed to the opponent lying on the floor.

“Amy. There’s a bad person here.”

“People…?”

person.

Yeah, he’s a person.

On the outside, it didn’t look like a person, but it was definitely a person.

His burnt skin had dried and he looked horrible, but if you looked closely, you could see his eyes, nose, and mouth, and his arms and legs were still attached.

Amy tended to my wounds, not caring about the person lying on the floor.

Apply ointment to the area where the blood has dripped down your cheek and put a bandage on it.

Bandages were immediately applied to his arms and legs.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere else? Should I not go on the mission?”

“Amy… I’m fine.”

Amy gave me an awkward laugh at my answer and gave me a small kiss on the forehead.

The place where her lips touched felt hot.

Even though it’s just a normal expression of affection, it feels different than before.

I rubbed my forehead and checked my physical condition.

Although I was tired, I had no problem moving my body.

I could say that I had some spare batteries since I didn’t even use them.

Rain and Shine also seemed fine, so this mission was a success.

“Did he make Jeff like that?”

Shine walked over to the pile of ash strewn across the floor and stomped on his face.

At her kick, the ash-turned skin fell off, revealing the red flesh inside.

Thud thud.

Shine, who had been kicking so hard that the skin on his face was peeled off, finally stepped back with a satisfied expression.

“Oh. Right. Amy, take this.”

I took the box I had retrieved this time out of my bag and handed it to Amy.

After receiving the box, she immediately checked its contents.

Inside the small box, there was a bundle of thick paper tied with a string.

In this day and age, storing information in analog form.

They are really strange people.

Amy, who had roughly checked the contents of the paper, nodded and contacted Jin.

Luckily, I must have brought it well.

The time to return has come.

A warp appeared inside a building not far from the meeting place.

Amy threw the man who had been reduced to ashes into it.

Finally it was our turn to go in.

Amy watched me pack my bag, then took a small capsule out of her pocket.

A capsule containing abilities.

Made it lighter.

Mary said it was an unfinished product, but is it already finished?

“Is that available for use already?”

“It’s still in the testing phase. I can only do simple things.”

Amy shook her head at my question and threw the capsule on the floor.

The capsule that had been rolling while making a tick-tick sound began to glow.

“Okay, let’s go in~”

The twinkling lights caught my eye.

As I couldn’t take my eyes off of it, Amy pushed me from behind and sent me into the warp.
