Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Therefore, he didn't pay attention.

"Hey! You guys, who are you looking for?"

As Fang Rui approached the group, he asked them this question. Mugino Shizuri looked at the blank area on the electronic map and his face immediately darkened.

When this person appeared next to them, the equipment provided by the employer displayed a blank area, which means...

This person is the target of the mission.

However, the current location is a bustling street, and they cannot possibly make a move here. Although they are an undercover unit, they still have to follow the rules.

"...Would you like to have some fun with us, handsome brother?"

Frenda reacted the fastest; she hugged Fang Rui's arm and spoke in a sweet, soft voice.

Looking at Frenda's appearance, Mugino Shizuri and the others had slightly strange expressions. Frenda, where did you learn that from...?

At the same time, these people followed Frenda's example and believed that some losses were acceptable in order to complete the mission.

Sensing the abundance and scarcity, Fang Rui's expression was somewhat strange; it was truly an unexpected situation.

Chapter 588 Obtaining the Wallet

"Okay!"

Fang Rui did not refuse their invitation, after all, he was confident and not afraid of any schemes or tricks.

Seeing Fang Rui agree so readily, Mugino Shizuri and the others' expressions changed slightly, showing a hint of disdain and a touch of wariness.

It seems she also knew what Fang Rui's quick agreement meant: either he possessed formidable martial prowess and was unafraid of danger, or he was simply lustful and disregarded the danger altogether.

Anyone who can be arrested by the council is no ordinary person; she suspects they possess considerable martial prowess.

However, as one of only seven Level 5 espers in Academy City, Mugino Shizuri is also proud and full of confidence in his fighting ability.

Therefore, she didn't care how powerful Fang Rui really was; she only wanted to get him away from the crowd and then knock him unconscious...

Several pedestrians overheard the conversation and, seeing Fang Rui with women on either side of him, some of them became restless and seemed eager to join in.

Frenda noticed that some passersby were lustful and worried that it would affect the mission, so she slightly lifted her skirt to reveal the submachine gun hidden under it.

Some people's restless hearts were instantly sobered up, even frozen, as if doused with a bucket of cold water, and they left the place with hurried steps.

Fang Rui noticed this, but he didn't care. He followed Mugino Shizuri and the others to the depths of the alley. There was no one there, no surveillance cameras, and the walls on both sides were windowless, so he didn't have to worry about being seen.

Frenda and the others immediately let go, their attitude completely changing.

"Will you surrender or put up a stubborn resistance for a while?" Mugino Shizuri seemed confident of victory, raising his right hand with an unstable green ball of light floating above his palm.

“…A promise is a promise, and you can’t go back on it!” Fang Rui said with a squinty eye and a smile.

His smile, however, had a certain coldness to it.

Before the words had even faded, the atomic collapse created by Mugino Shizuri had already disappeared. Playing with superpowers in front of a demon was a complete waste of time and a ridiculous act.

"You..." Unable to sense any superpowers, and even their computing power had vanished, Mugino Shizuri and the others were shocked. They instinctively wanted to ask, "What did you do?", but before they could speak, Fang Rui's voice rang out first.

"Restraint!"

The power of the rules manifested, binding the group, making it impossible for them to even speak; they could only stare at Fang Rui with wide eyes.

Arriving in front of Mugino Shizuri, Fang Rui reached out and gently stroked the other's face, feeling the silky smooth touch. Fang Rui's voice was slightly low.

"Keeping promises is very important. Those fun things you mentioned earlier must be done..."

Mugino Shizuri and the others felt a chill run down their spines. They were now lambs to the slaughter, fish on a chopping board, powerless to resist, only able to watch themselves being toyed with...

"But games need to be interactive to be fun."

Fang Rui withdrew his hand, his tone indifferent but his words filled with arrogance, "Anyway, you can't escape my control."

As he spoke, several golden specks of light flew into the foreheads of the group. At the same time, Fang Rui explained, "You should know something about the fifth superpower, 'Mind Control.' My ability is similar to 'Mind Control'; it can make you obey my commands without altering your consciousness or memories."

"It's like... adding an instinctive reaction to your body."

Upon hearing this, the group's eyes quickly turned to terror, but their faces remained expressionless.

"Release the restraints."

As soon as they left, Mugino Shizuri and the others felt the force binding them disappear, and they regained control of their bodies, but...

The thought of leaving this place did not arise. Although they felt they should leave, their bodies did not move. It was as if a voice in their hearts kept saying that there was no need to leave and that staying here was fine.

Without a doubt, they all realized one thing: the other party was not lying, but his ability was similar to mind control, and they were no longer in control of their own lives.

"You've come at the right time. I have no place to stay in Academy City, nor do I have the corresponding currency."

"Lead the way! Take me to your home first, so I can get familiar with the place and know where my home is."

'That's my home.' Mugino Shizuri and the others roared in their hearts, but their bodies had other ideas. They led the way, taking Fang Rui to his residence.

Meanwhile, in a building without windows.

In a room filled with pipes and wires, Aleister, floating upside down in a glass jar filled with nutrient solution, looks towards a deserted spot.

"How much of what He said do you think is true?"

A flash of light appeared, and a phantom figure materialized, its voice, seemingly composed of electronic sounds, echoing throughout the room.

"It's all true, but the other party's abilities go beyond that."

The power of a demon god is neither omnipotent nor so weak.

“I share the same view,” Aleister agreed.

"This is really troublesome. There's one more target to deal with, and it hasn't entered any other phases."

"A demon god who can move freely without any restrictions!"

Aleister's tone was somewhat complicated. Fang Rui's appearance could be said to have disrupted his plans, making it temporarily impossible for him to move forward.

Won him over? If his plan succeeds, the demon god will be the one to suffer; how could the other party possibly agree to cooperate?

As for a solution? To deal with a demon god at his peak is not that it's impossible, but that it's simply impossible.

Otherwise, why would he have gone around in circles? Wouldn't it have been better to just challenge the demon god directly?

Let's observe for now!

In other phases, upon seeing that their new companions had not left the real world, many demons returned to their own phases, continuing to daydream or do other things.

Wait until the new companion moves to another phase before having a conversation.

As for the other demon god who remained in the real world, Othinus has already set off for Academy City. Due to some kind of restriction, she cannot unleash her full power, but she still possesses demon god-level destructive power.

Back in Academy City, Fang Rui, led by Mugino Shizuri and the others, arrived at a room. The room was simply furnished and had a homey feel to it.

"Do you have a key? Give me one." Takitsubo Riko took a key out of the shoe cabinet drawer and handed it to Fang Rui.

"Okay, you're free to do as you please! See you tonight!"

Fang Rui took the key, turned around and left. He was going to meet someone, either Touma Kamijou or Accelerator. No matter who he met, it would be the achievement of his goal.

Academy City covers a vast area, and Accelerator's activity area is relatively large, since he needs to participate in experiments. However, Touma's activity area is relatively narrow, usually confined to a few school districts...

Especially since it's not holiday time yet, it's even easier to find Touma Kamijou.

"I remember, Touma Kamijou was in the 7th school district..."

Thinking of this, Fang Rui suddenly remembered a high school with a very distinctive name.

A certain high school...

What were the people who founded the school thinking when they chose this name?

This is somewhat outrageous!

Because the high school was so distinctive, many people in the Seventh School District knew about it. After asking a few people, Fang Rui already knew where the school was located.

Arriving at the school gate, Fang Rui looked around the school. From what he could see, the school's infrastructure was very good, at least better than the school he had attended before.

After all, Academy City recruits students under the guise of high-end education, so it's natural that it would have better infrastructure.

The infrastructure of this high school is considered above average outside of Academy City, but it is below average within Academy City, though not quite at the bottom...

"Hello! May I ask what brings you here?" In the guardhouse, the security guard looked at Fang Rui and asked him what his purpose was.

"I'm here to see someone. May I come in?" Fang Rui asked.

"Who are you looking for?" The security guard didn't answer Fang Rui's question, but asked him in return.

"Touma Kamijou," Fang Rui answered truthfully. Although there were many people he cared about at his high school, he had indeed come to see Touma Kamijou this time.

"School will be over in ten minutes. You can wait here for a bit. After all, you might not see him even if you go into the school."

The security guard offered suggestions and invited Fang Rui to rest for a while in the guardhouse.

“Okay!” Fang Rui did not refuse the other party’s request for information. It was the security guard’s duty to prevent suspicious persons from entering the school. After all, what Fang Rui had said earlier could not prove his identity.

"Oh! You're watching TV!"

Fang Rui was slightly surprised to see a TV series playing on the television in the guardhouse. There were many game arcades and movie theaters in Academy City, as well as many home appliance stores, but relatively few stores sold televisions.

The reason is that students make up more than 60% of the permanent population of Academy City, and televisions are not allowed in student dormitories.

If you install it secretly, it's fine if you don't get caught.

What TV series are you watching?

Fang Rui turned his gaze to the screen, asking with some curiosity. Since many of the worlds he had traveled to were ancient or technologically unbalanced, he gradually forgot about TV dramas and games.

"It's just an ordinary urban drama, produced outside of Academy City," the security guard complained. "There are no television production companies or movie studios in Academy City; all the programs are broadcast from outside the city."

"Really?" Fang Rui was a little puzzled, as he hadn't paid attention to such things.

"Yes, the programs in Academy City are mostly research and advertising, or news."

The security guard continued to complain, "I've seen that many of the technologies they've developed could be used to film TV series and movies. If capable people cooperate, the special effects could be maxed out."

"It's a pity that ability users need to apply to leave Academy City. That's terrible."

Listening to what the other party said, Fang Rui didn't say anything. The reason why Academy City prohibits ability users from leaving Academy City at will is very simple: certain forces are eyeing ability users and attempting to capture them.

If the number of people is small, Academy City can handle it quickly, but if the number of people is large, Academy City will not be able to handle it in time.

If Academy City cannot guarantee the safety of its students, its rating among parents will decrease, which will reduce the city's efficiency in finding experimental subjects.
