“You should have attacked first. Then you might have surprised them and made them take a step back.”
“Huh… !”
As I muttered like that, the unidentified latex woman bit her lip and lowered her posture.
At that moment, I used high-speed thinking because it seemed like they were going to attack once more.
Phew!
I saw her cut through the wind and leave the lab through the glass window I had cut when I came in.
‘What? Popping out?’
-Your judgment is quick. If your attack doesn’t work, you should run away.
Maria looked at the scene with me and gave a calm assessment.
‘No… An intruder just showed up, but does it make sense to just run away after failing to attack once? Wasn’t he supposed to be guarding this place too? He just ran away, leaving the researchers and other materials behind.’
– It seems that securing the meteorite was a more important mission for that woman. I found out something by accessing the Blue Dragon database. Her name is Feng Liu. Her superpower is super-speed movement. The faster she is, the greater the power of her attacks. However, in a case like yours where neither attacks nor speed work, it would be wise to run away.
‘Maria, if you say so, then it may be true…’
This is the first time I’ve seen something like this where I just ran away because I thought I couldn’t get the angle after hitting it once, so I’m dumbfounded.
But what’s embarrassing is what’s embarrassing, and the problem is that the meteorite that was my target was taken by that latex girl named Feng Liu and ran away.
Then I have to catch up with her as quickly as possible…
‘Can’t we just close the lab door? Maybe we can just lock them up and catch them.’
-I already did it. But…
Before Maria could finish speaking, a faint vibration was felt along with a ‘thud!’ sound from far away.
-You just broke through and went outside.
‘Wow… You seem to be in good health.’
The passage I came through was a fairly thick iron door, and from the sound I heard, it sounded like someone had hit me with their shoulder at the speed they were running.
Of course, it would be impossible for a body with average endurance to withstand that kind of speed.
For a normal person, wouldn’t their flesh be torn by the air during acceleration?
In any case, it was clear that she was a very interesting woman.
‘If I don’t follow along slowly, I’ll miss it.’
thud!
I also kicked the floor, following the footsteps of Feng Liu, who had not yet recovered from his shock.
He concentrated his overflowing internal energy on his legs and unleashed the Seopyeongwolunkyung. Originally, this Gyeongsin method was not intended to run fast in a straight line, but rather to ultimately be able to move freely in the sky, but it was definitely better than nothing.
And thanks to my characteristic of not being affected by wind resistance when I put my mind to it, I didn’t lose any speed.
As your running speed increases, air resistance becomes stronger and stronger, so being able to ignore this is a huge advantage.
-I have all the surveillance cameras installed in Shanghai in my sight. I will mark the route of movement.
‘Please.’
I went back to the basement of the art center, passing through an iron gate that looked like it had been pierced by a cannon.
Feng Liu’s location is on the first floor of the art center.
I was just about to go out.
It seemed like he was hesitating a bit in front of the exit, but even if it was a world where the genders were reversed, a latex suit was not something that could be proudly worn in broad daylight, so it seemed like once he left the building, he would speed up rather than move slowly.
‘Isn’t it? In reality, it would be like a man running out onto the street in a latex suit, so it would be even more embarrassing because the roles are reversed.’
Anyway, it seemed like Feng Liu was trying to move the meteorite to another research lab or a safe house or something.
Of course, that would be the case, unless you were going to hug a meteorite and run forever.
bang!
I kicked the floor in the middle of the stairwell and soared into the sky.
Unlike the artistic structure on the outside, this building had a space in the center of a circular staircase like those in ordinary buildings, allowing one to reach the first floor in one go.
I don’t know if Feng Liu heard that sound, but she jumped out the moment I reached the first floor. As expected, she did it very quickly.
In an instant, I was out of the range of the senses, but there was no need to worry about losing it as Maria was tracking me.
Likewise, Maria gave me some advice as I was leaving the exit.
-According to the data from the Blue Dragon Corps, the weakness of Feng Liu’s superpower is endurance. There was data that if you use your superpower beyond its limit, your stamina will be rapidly depleted and you will feel extreme fatigue. If you chase it like you are hunting it and force it to stop and rest, you will be able to catch it easily.
‘good idea.’
Although superpowers cost less than superpowers, that doesn’t mean you can wield such incredible power without limit.
Even I, when I fought Touma before, didn’t I get a headache from desperately using high-speed thinking?
I’m much stronger now than I was then, and I’ve never had a headache or anything like that again, but that doesn’t mean that high-speed thinking isn’t a skill that you can use for free.
Feng Liu’s ability to move at high speeds is also an incredible superpower, so it seems like it would be quite burdensome to use it at full power. If I were to chase after him, he would probably push himself even harder out of fear.
Even this side can move more efficiently because it can know the path she moves through Maria. It is also possible to use the key to go to wherever she appears first, wait for her, and surprise her.
but…
‘Then isn’t it too easy?’
-yes?
Maria made a sound like she was in disbelief, but I made a confident excuse.
‘No, this is your first time dealing with such a superpower. If you simply look at speed, this superpower is definitely not inferior to mine.’
Then wouldn’t it be better to take advantage of this not-so-dangerous situation and try out as many different experiences as possible?
I wasn’t saying this because it reminded me of the game of tag I used to play as a kid and I thought it would be fun.
It’s all thanks to my growing abilities, but it’s not easy to engage in a chase like this.
-… Are you just doing it because you think it’ll be fun?
But it didn’t seem to work on Maria, who had been watching me closely enough.
Anyway, my excuse wasn’t a complete lie.
If you only consider the speed at which she moves in a straight line, she is definitely not slower than me.
Even when observed from a distance, she reached the ground in an instant without slowing down at all, even inside a complex building.
What this meant was that while using superpowers, one was completely unaffected by inertia.
It means that there is something different about me controlling movement purely by force, except that I ignore wind resistance.
Considering the kick from earlier, it seems like he had a lot of strength, but that alone wasn’t enough to explain it.
It would be a waste to just throw away an opponent like this with a key.
And this seems like a perfect opportunity to test out the newly created artifact.
-If it’s an artifact… a synergy bangle?
‘that’s right.’
As I said that, I took out my bike from my inventory for the first time in a long time.
thud!
A bike appears on the road with a heavy sound.
Recently, my physical specs have improved a lot and I don’t have much to do in the city, so I haven’t ridden it often, but this is a monster that Lee Yuri has strengthened with Starlight.
It was also a useful item when he initially worked as Ignis and when he saved Sera and Olivia in reality.
Even with this modified bike, it would be impossible to keep up with Feng Liu with pure power… but what if you use the Synergy Bangle?
Vroom…
As soon as I got on the bike and started it, the Synergy Bangle responded.
The bracelet on my wrist slowly rose and began to rotate as if it was receiving an invisible force. As if it were a superconductor, the bracelet slowly rotated without touching my wrist, and it looked like a planetary ring.
And the growl the bike makes in time with the moving synergy bangle also grows louder. It is noticeably louder than the original engine sound.
I pulled the throttle without hesitation.
Boooo …
The engine, which already boasted monstrous output, was now under the effect of the artifact, and it flew over the road with a roar.
Even under extreme acceleration, the front of the wheel did not lift and the bike did not flip over.
Could it be because of the artifact’s effect?
The bike responded perfectly to my commands and moved smoothly, almost like a living creature.
‘location!’
-I’ll show you!
Although I didn’t explain what location I was referring to, Maria quickly pointed out Feng Liu’s location to me.
‘It’s slightly diagonal.’
I did ride my bike, but I didn’t plan on just riding on the road. No matter how fast I was, it was hard to keep up if I took a long, circuitous route.
As soon as I made up my mind, I crossed the center line and started driving in reverse.
Paaang-!!!
