145 The Darkness of Academy City

"Takitsubo, please check for me quickly. Is my cute face swollen?"

After Tang Hao let go, Flanda immediately ran to Takitsubo Rikou to complain.

Takitsubo's face was expressionless, "No, she's still very cute."

"That's good." Flanda breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help complaining, "This boss is really annoying. I've obviously killed all the enemies according to his instructions, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't give me a salary increase. He pinched my face hard and did it to such a cute girl like me. He really doesn’t know how to show mercy at all. I want to curse him to never be able to find a girlfriend in his life!"

"I can hear it."

Tang Hao's voice came from behind, frightening Flanda to cover her mouth quickly.

This girl's bad mouth can only serve two purposes, to ridicule and seek death.

When Tang Hao walked to the other side, Juanqi Favorite was walking over holding a man's collar. The man's hands were hanging down. It could be seen that he had broken bones and he had no strength to even struggle.

"Only one survived?"

"I don't know, this guy is the only one who is awake."

Tang Hao nodded and asked the man, "Who sent you here?"

"No... I don't know." The man replied weakly.

"I don't know?" Tang Hao frowned, "You are the ANBU of Academy City, right? Don't you even know who you are working for? Although I don't have the habit of abusing prisoners, I can let you live as long as you answer honestly, but you If a dead duck has a tough mouth, I won’t mind using some cruel methods.”

"Let me come, let me come!" Frenda jumped over and ran over. "I'm the best at extracting confessions. It only takes a few minutes to take care of him and explain clearly how many times he goes to the toilet a day."

"I want to know why he goes to the toilet several times a day? Go ahead." Tang Hao pinched Flanda's face and pushed her out.

"Boss, you're targeting me!" Flanda rubbed her face, feeling very aggrieved. Even though she showed her loyalty all the time, Tang Hao was not gentle to her at all. Instead, he used hands and feet to Takitsubo. This is not the case with Silk Flag.

"It's nothing, you're overthinking it." Tang Hao looked serious. He really didn't target Flanda, but...this girl was born with that kind of temperament that made people want to bully her.

However, after listening to Flanda's words, the man's face turned pale with fear. As a member of ANBU, he naturally knew how cruel the world of ANBU was. In this world, human life was not worth anything at all, and even one more day of life was nothing. Lucky.

He quickly raised his head and confessed: "I... everything I said is true. We are only responsible for selling our lives to get money. As for who we sell our lives to, only the boss knows."

"Where is the boss?"

"Boss, he..." The man lowered his head, "Boss, he led people to break out from the west, and he may have been intercepted by your people."

To the west is the intersection guarded by Misaka Mikoto.

Tang Hao nodded and immediately turned around and left.

"How to deal with this guy?"

"Knocked him out, let him be."

Kuenqi loved De Ling the most, and cut the man's back of the neck with a knife, knocking him out.

Flanda healed her scar and forgot about the pain, and jumped up and down to follow Tang Hao, "Hehe, the boss is really kind. For a guy like that who is no longer useful, our ANBU approach is to just beat him to death and throw him into the trap." Incinerator, boss, you actually let him go."

"Be kind..."

Tang Hao smiled slightly. He didn't feel that he was very merciful. Because of one of his orders, dozens of people had died today. Even the guy he let go just now might not be able to escape the same fate when he returns.

No matter what reason is used to excuse it, no matter what purpose it is, it is trampling on life.

Tang Hao knows this better than anyone else.

Of course, he will not be merciful because of this. He will kill the scumbags without mercy. He will not let anyone go when it comes to the mastermind. For these ANBU who obey orders, there is nothing to say about life and death in battle. Yes, but since the other party has lost the threat, there is no need to massacre anymore.

After all, he and Anbu were different.

The darkness hidden in Academy City makes people doubt the existence of humanity in this world. He is involved in this darkness and will not do what is kind to a woman. However, he does not want to be dyed by this darkness and become the same. Color, this is his bottom line.

After a while, Tang Hao came to the intersection guarded by Misaka Mikoto. Electric light was still shining on her body. A large number of people fell nearby, but no one could break out of this intersection.

"What? No one died at all." Flanda looked around for a few times. As a senior ANBU combatant, she could tell at a glance whether the person who fell on the ground was dead or alive, and she couldn't help but laugh. He said, "What kind of railgun? It's obviously a level 5 superpower, but it turns out it's not as useful as me. It's really useless."

"I don't do such things as killing people." Misaka Mikoto glared at her, then looked at Tang Hao, "How about it?"

Tang Hao came up, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Not bad, you did a good job."

"I'm not talking about me, I'm asking you how it is over there."

"Of course I have no problem."

Tang Hao shrugged. Flanda felt that Misaka Mikoto was too useless for not killing anyone, but he was just the opposite. Perhaps for the ANBU people, Misaka Mikoto is too kind, but it is precisely because of the existence of people like her that Academy City has hope. If everyone ignores the lives of others and kills at will, then this Academy City The city is hopeless.

He wouldn't even have the slightest idea of ​​getting involved in Academy City like that.

"I just got news that the boss of this ANBU is here. Do you know who he is?"

"Boss... maybe it's this one." Misaka Mikoto pointed at a burly man in front of her, "Although this guy is incompetent, he is very strong. He only fell down after receiving two electric shocks from me, and other people They all obey his command."

Bili

Stimulated by the current, the burly man woke up quickly.

"Tell me." Tang Hao said calmly.

The man looked at the surrounding environment and found that none of his people were standing. He couldn't help but feel pain in his eyes, and then closed his eyes again, "I have nothing to say, just kill me."

"You are tough? Or is your companion dead and you don't want to live?" Tang Hao walked to the side and kicked an ANBU in the body. "The others are probably hopeless. After all, my subordinates are all murderous guys. , but these people are still alive. If you honestly tell everything you know, I can let them go."

The man opened his eyes suddenly. Are you still... alive?

However, as an ANBU, if you betray your customers...

"Of course, you don't have to say it, but I think since you are the leader of ANBU, you should know about psychological control. She is also on my side. It is very simple for me to pry your mouth open, but at that point At that time, it’s up to you whether you people can survive.”

"Psychological control?" The man's expression changed, and he suddenly laughed up to the sky, "Haha... Hahaha! Railgun, atomic collapse, coupled with psychological control, I didn't expect that low-level Anbu like us would be against each other at the same time. Three superpowers, as expected, we are just cannon fodder, hahahaha..."

"What do you mean?" Tang Hao felt that there was something in his words and couldn't help but frown.

The man looked at Tang Hao and grinned, a forced smile, "Although I don't know who you are, you can actually control three superpowers, but it's a pity that you fell into the trap."

"Um?"

"There's no need to hide it from you now. We are just being used as cannon fodder anyway. Yes, my unit is actually the bait!" The man clenched his fists, with a hint of hatred and helplessness on his face.

"I think you must have obtained intelligence through some channel and knew that we were going to attack the institute, so you specifically sniped us in advance, right? But in fact, this news was deliberately released by the superiors to lure you here. , I’m afraid… at that time, the higher-ups already know that psychological control is on your side.”

Information released intentionally?

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

Misaka Mikoto quickly asked: "Then what is your real purpose?"

"There is also a force of ability users prepared above. When you attack us, they will raid the research institute as quickly as possible, and then... steal the final work."

Is the goal the final work?

Tang Hao's face darkened. Although this result was a bit unexpected, it was not unexpected. The last work is the command tower of the entire Misaka network. As long as the last work is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Misaka sister army. Through such an army of 20,000 ability users, if retaliation is carried out, at least it will make people Half of Academy City is paralyzed!

"who is it?"

The man looked at Tang Hao and reported a name.

He was a director who was kicked out of the council a few days ago after the experiment was exposed.

Didi didi

At this moment, Tang Hao's cell phone rang.

"Tang Hao, it's not good!" Shokuhou Misaki's voice came from the phone, "I just received the news that the research institute where the Misaka sisters were housed was attacked by ability users. The security team suffered heavy casualties. The final attack was also It’s been stolen, please go and provide support!”

"damn it!"

Tang Hao hung up the phone angrily. He didn't expect that a guy whose name didn't even appear in the original work, and who wasn't even a minor character, would actually create such a big trouble for him.

Even if he has foresight and foresight, and has the assistance of three superpowers, is he still too young compared to the darkness of this Academy City?

No, there is no such thing!

"Takitsubo, inform Mugino and ask her to move her target immediately. Misaka, you connect to the Misaka network immediately. Even if the enemy steals the final work, it will take time to control her. You ask the sisters who can act to take action immediately. The city is searching for traces of the last work... let's go!"

Tang Hao turned around and ran out.

At this time, the ANBU leader's voice sounded behind him.

"Aren't you going to kill us?"

"Why should I kill you?"

The man smiled bitterly, "I thought you would at least kill us to vent your anger..."

"I said that as long as you cooperate, I will spare your life. I am not in the habit of slapping myself in the face."

Tang Hao said without looking back while running forward.

"Of course, there will be no next time."

Snap!

When Tang Hao and others disappeared, the ANBU leader finally collapsed due to lack of physical strength. Looking at the night sky above his head, his expression didn't know whether he was lucky or something else.

As an ANBU, it was a miracle that he could survive after being defeated, let alone cannon fodder like them.

But what's the point?

From the moment they joined the Anbu, they had lost their freedom and hope. Death, or a kind of relief.

"If there is no darkness in this Academy City, maybe..."

The man closed his eyes. Such a scenario is impossible!
