Those blocked here include young students who want to enjoy their youth, ordinary professionals who want to take shortcuts, and ordinary citizens who want to spend their time.
But no matter what they thought before, now, their plan seems to be ruined.
Because here, at an entrance to the downstream street in the school district.
It was blocked by the police.
It will be the turn of this group of people to take action. According to Academy City's conventional wisdom, something serious has happened.
So even if someone is dissatisfied, they will still cooperate obediently.
However, those who are truly familiar with the security operation mode will find out.
There are subtle differences in the logistics command, contact information, and the common equipment used by the 'guards' in front of you.
these people--
(...In terms of action, they are more well-trained than real security guards.)
Standing on the periphery, a certain girl who was also stopped looked away.
Should I be called a former member of the special forces?
Unfortunately, I chose the wrong path in the end.
She expressed her regrets.
Yes.
There is no need to confirm again.
Frenda was very sure that those standing in front of them were the members of the "Electricity Reception Force" who wanted to attack them.
As long as you retreat from here after achieving your goal, you can quickly change direction even if you are intercepted on the second highway.
After all, that's where there are the most forks in the road.
The girl who had already analyzed the map of Academy City was thinking.
This subconscious behavior made her slightly stunned, and then she smiled with some relief.
It seems that the habits I had during my days as a "discipline committee member" have not changed.
Putting aside some of the memories that were gradually rising, Flanda put her fingertips against her chin and paused for a moment.
Fremia's protective mechanism is working, so there is no problem.
But there are some areas of concern that still need to be sorted out.
In addition to the fact that the timing of the 'event' happened was too much of a 'coincidence', there was also an indescribable sense of violation.
It's like several 'horizontal lines' that should have crossed each other, but were roughly rubbed together.
She muttered to herself.
You know, whether it is an emergency or a scheduled exercise, if security personnel are required to be dispatched to block an area, the official website will issue a formal announcement. Even if there is a delay, there will definitely be news in local forums or online communities.
Moreover, there are many students here who have been using mobile phones since the beginning. I believe there will definitely be spread and discussion, but no news has leaked out in the nearby areas.
That means.
Information... is also blocked.
Upon further examination, the fact that terrorists disguised as security guards can move so smoothly shows that someone is covering them up behind the scenes.
And that person may be a so-called insider, or maybe...
"senior?"
"……Um?"
The familiar name made Flanda, who had screened out the possibilities, tilt her head slightly.
They are a girl with a wreath on her hair and a girl with brown twintails who are members of the Discipline Committee.
The one who spoke was Uiharu Kouri.
Beside her, there is another junior whom she has not seen for a long time.
Kuroko Shirai.
…
…
In the not-so-wide passage, roars and playful sounds could be heard at the same time.
"You brat! Stop!"
"Meow meow?!"
In a corner of the underground shopping mall, a masked man who controlled Academy City's high-tech products was chasing a young-looking girl.
Before that, they had just experienced a phenomenon that even "science" could not explain.
The ice shield cannot be penetrated by all the bullets, and will be frozen by the ice mist if you approach it.
It is really hard to imagine that these achievements came from the hands of a "Lv2" primary school student.
Fortunately, the exits and entrances here are occupied by their people.
After some fruitless pursuit attempts, they had no choice but to rely on the capture device of a small tactical drone.
But the opponent relied on his size advantage and kept dodging, causing the capture net to miss repeatedly.
(What else are you doing!!)
Seeing how much time was wasted in this farce, the man in the captain's uniform cursed inwardly with a sinister look in his eyes.
Now, in the final analysis, they are already riding a tiger.
What exactly a "Dragon" is is actually not important to him.
What's important is that this information is Academy City's "darkness within", something that the higher-ups have been trying their best to conceal, and a fact that is enough to shake the "framework".
Just knowing this is enough.
In other words, the moment they have thoughts of betrayal, there is no turning back.
‘Use ‘Dragon’ related parties to exchange for the maximum benefits that can be obtained.’ This is the best result of the negotiation.
Now... I have no choice but to give up part of it.
Plans can never keep up with changes.
so.
"Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance."
The man who looked like a captain raised the weapon in his hand.
This time, the target is not Fremia.
It's the restaurant behind it.
"Either be obedient right away, or...let them be buried with you for your actions!"
"——!"
Danger signals sounded in conjunction.
A man who has seen hell on earth will not hesitate.
This is a premonition that even Fremia can feel.
The young girl with blond hair stopped involuntarily.
The masked man in the captain's uniform showed a triumphant smile.
Then.
He didn't stop moving.
"don't want!"
It shouldn't be like this.
The little girl's cry seemed feeble.
That's how it should be.
The maliciousness of the masked man was unleashed to its greatest extent.
Then--
"Feel sorry."
"Because your 'performance' was so clumsy, I couldn't help but take action."
Before the situation took a turn for the worst, a young man's voice sounded.
"……Who are you--?!"
"Kakine Teito, the hostage game is quite fun... but as 'actors', except for that little sister, you are all unqualified, unqualified."
With one hand in his pocket, the brown-haired boy who called himself "Second" smiled gloomily.
The name, and why this guy is here.
The masked man had given up thinking about it.
"I originally wanted to see what the special forces directly under the superiors would look like. Oh, now I should say 'front'. It doesn't matter anyway. Is the result like this? It's really disappointing."
"I am basically a heinous bastard, but even if you look at me like this, I will still try to avoid getting involved with ordinary people. Of course, I will not refuse if someone is seeking death."
The young man soaked in darkness showed disdain and ridiculed wantonly.
then.
He was not interested in seeing the reactions of the masked men, but instead glanced playfully at a certain girl who had not yet understood the change in the situation.
"Okay... give me that 'chip' and you can leave."
Contrary to his appearance, the young man with deep malice declared without any explanation.
behind.
There are six white wings that are slowly opening.
