Aresta had given him a difficult problem after all.
The Black Division, although nominally under the jurisdiction of the council, actually stood in their own different factions. With the intrigue of the higher-ups, the Dark World of the school city was also divided into pieces. There were frequent battles between the Black Division and the Black Division, and no one knew when they would suddenly die.
Why did Aresta not care …
'Why should he care?'
Campus City was the leader of technology and naturally, it had countless elite talents. In this world, there was never a lack of people who wanted to climb up the ladder. If a group of higher-ups died, they could just replace them. Not allowing power to be concentrated in the hands of a certain person for a long time was beneficial to Aresta's stability.
Moreover, Aresta was the biggest Black Ops in Campus City.
For example, he used this Black Ops to prevent the council and other higher-ups from going berserk.
But now, Aresta had transferred the ownership of the Taoist tools to him. This was equivalent to the original Royal Guards being suddenly delegated to the local government. This … Any arrogant person would be displeased!
Furthermore, Shen Li Mai was not an ordinary person who was arrogant. She was arrogant, prejudiced, underestimated the enemy, easily angered, talkative … She had almost all the shortcomings of a villain. She would go berserk at the slightest hint of dissatisfaction. Even Aresta would not be able to make such a willful person obedient.
Of course, ignoring these shortcomings, this Black Ops was indeed quite strong. Even if they were to include the Black Ops that were popular in the later stages, they could still be ranked in the top three among all the Black Ops in Campus City. Moreover … there was no such thing as goodness or kindness among those who devoted themselves to the underworld. They were basically chaotic and neutral characters.
Tang Hao guessed that this might be another test from Aresta. Whether or not he could control this Black Ops would be the key to his future operations.
If that was the case …
Tang Hao picked up his phone and sent a message to Misaka Mikoto, telling her to hide and not come out. He then looked at Shen Li Mai. "Since you're not convinced, let's follow the rules of the underworld. Come out and have a duel. If I win, you'll work for me for two years. If I lose, you're free to leave."
"Huh?" Shen Li Mai tilted her head as if she was looking at an idiot. "Is there something wrong with your brain? You are the boss, and we are the props. If the boss is more powerful than the props, then what are we for? Moreover, using a single victory to decide where we belong for the next two years is too cheap! "
"Uh …" When she said that, Tang Hao was speechless. Was this guy also the type who didn't play by the rules?
"But …" Suddenly, Shen Li revealed a smirk. "At the end of the day, we're just employees. If the boss doubts our ability, it's understandable for us to perform appropriately. Don't you think so, new boss?"
This guy …
Tang Hao understood that it wasn't that Shen Li didn't want to obey Aresta's arrangements. It was just that a newly appointed official was full of tricks. Perhaps he wanted to give him a show of strength in order to have the right to speak with him as an equal in the future … Of course, it was also very likely that he wanted to beat him up to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"I don't doubt your strength, but if you want to show off, this is a good opportunity …" Tang Hao raised his thumb and pointed behind him. "Do you see the research institute over there? That's our goal this time. We just need to destroy it with all our strength. "
"Indeed, it's not good to attack the boss." Silk Flag Love nodded with a calm face.
"Yeah, Mai Ye, calm down. If we accidentally hurt the boss, what if he deducts our wages in the future?" Frenda also smiled at the side and advised carefully.
"Hmph!" Shen Li turned his head away. He still looked a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything else. Obviously, he accepted Tang Hao's arrangement.
Tang Hao looked at Frenda who was sticking to Shen Li's side. Their relationship was quite good during that period of time, and Frenda could even persuade the disgruntled Shen Li. But who would have thought that the blonde girl would one day be chopped in half by Shen Li's waist by the Shen Li she worshipped … Even if Frenda had gone too far in courting her own death.
Secretly shaking his head, Tang Hao did not think that he would be able to convince this experienced member of the Black Ops on the first day. After all, he was not Long Aotian. As long as they did not reject the mission, it would be fine. He waved at the back. "You can come out now."
"Is it over already?" Misaka Mikoto came out from the corner. When she walked over, she purposely pulled the brim of her cap down. "I thought you guys were going to fight. I was worried for nothing."
"Wait!" Shen Li saw that something was wrong. "You guys want to go too? A boss and a middle school student who came out of nowhere? "
"So what if I'm a middle school student?" Misaka Mikoto pointed at Silk Flag Love and retorted, "Although I'm only a middle school student, don't you guys have elementary school students?"
Silk Flag Love looked at her calmly. "I'm twelve years old. I'm not an elementary school student. I'm an elite fighter."
Frenda, on the other hand, said proudly, "Don't compare us to normal high school girls. We're official members of the Black Ops. We're used to all kinds of battles. Non-professionals will only hold us back."
"Alright, stop showing off. Be careful that you don't get chopped in half. Moreover, she's stronger than you guys." Tang Hao did not bother to explain. After all, they would understand very soon. He waved his hand and walked toward the direction of the research center.
"What do you mean by chopped in half? That's ridiculous … I think Shen Li is going to be angry again," Frenda mumbled. She looked up and saw that Shen Li's face was ashen.
Shen Li was a perfectionist. What she hated the most was when someone dragged her down during a mission.
"Hmph, if she dares to get in our way, we'll kill her!" Shen Li said gloomily. It was her secret that she tolerated her boss following her during a mission. However, she would only get rid of insignificant hindrances.
She did not care about the fact that she was stronger than them.
People who lived in the world of light would never know how cruel the dark side was. That was why they would make such a self-righteous judgment. She had seen many people who acted like they had victory in their grasp before the battle, but after the battle, they knelt and begged for mercy. No matter how outstanding their abilities were.
Misaka Mikoto did not know that Shen Li had treated her as half an enemy. All she wanted to do was to destroy the research center as soon as possible, stop the experiment, and rescue her 'sisters'.
Soon, they arrived at the research center.
Research centers like this were usually far away from the city center and civilian areas. This was because most of their research could not see the light of day or they had competitors. Therefore, most of the time, they were completely sealed off. At that moment, there was not a single guard outside the research center. There were only some surveillance cameras and the like.
However, these things were meaningless in front of Misaka Mikoto. After a series of crackling sounds, all the cameras were destroyed in an instant.
"The research center should know that we've invaded. Let's attack."
"Mmm!"
Misaka Mikoto nodded and placed both of her hands on the door. In less than three seconds, the door that was protected by the most advanced electronic technology was disintegrated and automatically opened to both sides.
As long as it was a device that relied on electricity or magnetism, no matter how advanced or perfect it was, it was useless in front of Misaka Mikoto.
"Intruder …"
"Intruder spotted!"
As soon as the door opened, two automatons rushed out and continuously sounded the alarm.
Buzz, buzz —
Misaka Mikoto's expression changed. Her hair danced under the stimulation of the electric current. Two lightning spears shot out from between her bangs. Before the two automatons could attack, the powerful electric shock pierced through their outer shells and instantly destroyed them.
Although Misaka Mikoto's codename was the Super Electromagnetic Gun, the fact was that the game coins used would burn up from the friction when they were more than fifty meters away. Hence, this signature skill was not very practical. Her true strength was her ability to freely control the electromagnetic field.
Take the lightning spear for example. It could be fired instantaneously, ignore distance, attack in all directions, and was as fast as lightning. Other than its attack power, it was far more practical than the Super Electromagnetic Gun.
"An electric ability user …"
Shen Li Mai Ye fell into deep thought as he looked at Misaka Mikoto's back.
There were at least forty to fifty electric ability users in Campus City. However, Misaka Mikoto was the only one who had reached Lv.5. Moreover, the seven superhumans rarely communicated with each other. Hence, even when she saw Misaka Mikoto destroying the surveillance camera, she did not think too much about it. However, now …
"Eh, eh, eh. Not bad at all." Frenda was a little surprised. However, she immediately laughed. "She doesn't look like an ordinary junior high student. Is she a Lv.4 super ability user? However, we're all Lv.4. Moreover, we're more proficient in combat. It's impossible for her to be stronger than us. Moreover, Mai Ye is Lv.5 … Huh?! "
She seemed to have remembered something as she turned to look at her companions while blinking her eyes.
Silk Flag habitually pinched the ends of her hair. "Although I can't say that she's definitely stronger than Mai Ye, in Campus City, there's only one electric ability user who's ranked higher than Mai Ye …"
"The third one, the Super Electromagnetic Gun!" Shen Li Mai let out a sinister smile. "I see … Hmph!"
"What's wrong?" Misaka Mikoto instinctively turned her head when she heard someone calling her name.
"Nothing." Shen Li Mai smiled. There was a strong competitive look on her face. "I just didn't expect someone like you to be involved in this kind of shady business. I guess you can't stay in a peaceful and happy environment anymore … Whoosh!"
Suddenly, she raised her hand and released five beams of light. They flew past Misaka Mikoto's body. Boom, boom, boom … Following a series of explosions, the five automatons that rushed to the scene after hearing the alarm exploded. The destruction was even more thorough than Misaka Mikoto's. All that was left was a pile of scrap metal.
Shen Li Mai Ye stood next to Misaka Mikoto and looked down at her.
"The ranking of superpowers in the school city is based on the scope of application and the benefits it brings. That's why you're third, and I'm fourth, but don't think that you're above me just because of this … Don't underestimate the Anbu, little girl."
After saying that, Shen Li Mai Ye ignored everyone else and walked forward. The automatons that rushed toward her were all turned into trash by her ability.
"Oh oh oh, well said. But Mai Ye is the strongest!" Frenda and the rest immediately followed behind her. They were not there to be spectators. It would be embarrassing if the limelight was stolen by someone else.
Only Misaka Mikoto was confused. She scratched her head and looked at Tang Hao. "She … What does she mean?"
"Of course she's not happy." Tang Hao shrugged. "Aren't you quite competitive as well? Her ability is similar to yours and you're ranked above her. Now that we're on the same side, she can't just do whatever she wants to you. That's why she can only compete with you during the mission. "
"Huh? I don't have time to compete with her at a time like this … "Misaka Mikoto rolled her eyes." Speaking of which, who is this Auntie? "
'You've already mentioned the fourth one. Why are you still asking who she is? Are you doing this on purpose?'
