"What is their purpose?" Misaki Shokuhou asked again, completely ignoring the squad leader shouting not far away.

"Research material," the soldier replied again. He seemed to know quite a bit, which greatly helped Misaki Shokuhou. "This orphanage has been forcibly taken back by the higher-ups. At the same time, the students inside have been used as tools for human experimentation and have been taken back by the research institute."

"I understand." Misaki Shokuhou breathed a sigh of relief. Finding out who was behind it all finally brought her clarity. Actually, she was quite relieved.

When she first witnessed this scene, she even suspected a certain boy. She thought he had staged it all to make her fall head over heels for him. As it turned out, she was mistaken.

"Damn it! This girl is an ability user!" The squad leader, finally realizing what was happening, shouted, "Kill her! Don't let her leave this door!"

However, the instant he finished speaking, several guns had already been turned and pointed at him simultaneously. "You, you all..."

"I'm sorry, Captain! I couldn't control myself!"

"I'm sorry, Captain!"

Da da da.

0. Requesting flowers...

Guns spat fire, and countless bullets hurtled toward the captain and several of his teammates.

"Damn it!" the captain cursed, his eyes gradually losing focus. But in his dying moments, he pressed a button on his sleeve. A strange pulse gathered into information and transmitted it far away.

"A distress signal?" Misaki Shokuhou frowned and ordered the remaining soldiers, "Take these children to the training camp. You should know where it is."

In this situation, she could only place her hopes on the boy. She herself, in order for her companions to survive, volunteered to stay behind as bait.

All the living people had left, leaving only a lingering stench of blood in the orphanage. Misaki Shokuhou, forcing herself to remain calm, sat in the main chair, her gaze fixed on the direction of the entrance.

Tapping.

Sure enough, a short while later, a dozen or so teenagers dressed in various colors and carrying strange devices burst into the place.

"Are you the reinforcements?" Misaki Shokuhou stood up and asked calmly.

"Hmph. The renowned Hunter Squad was wiped out by a little girl like you. It's laughable." The leader, a boy with red hair, wore an arrogant expression. "We are Deadlock. If you don't want to die, come with us."

Misaki Shokuhou disliked the boy's attitude. His domineering tone reminded her of someone else. But that person was perfect, powerful, and incomparable. How could this trashy fellow possibly imitate them? Immediately, she unleashed her mental power; a vast and terrifying surge of mental energy erupted forth, crushing towards the boy before her.

Chapter 678: Confusing and Irrational

scoff.

Unexpectedly, just as Misaki Shokuhou's spirit was about to invade the other party's brain, a weak electric current suddenly appeared, blocking her invasion signal.

"What is this?" Misaki Shokuhou frowned, a grim expression on her face.

"Hmph, so you really are a mental ability user." Opposite him, the red-haired boy looked arrogant and raised his head slightly. "Do you really think I didn't have information about you before I barged in? That piece of trash, although he's useless and dead, it's thanks to him that we saw all your previous actions."

"Damn it!" Misaki Shokuhou instinctively sensed something was wrong and took two steps back.

The red-haired man clearly wasn't going to waste any more words with her, waving his hand. "Grab her. The people upstairs are very interested in her abilities." As soon as he finished speaking, the boys behind him, who had been poised to pounce, immediately rushed forward.

"Stop them!" Misaki Shokuhou shouted. Suddenly, the door behind her opened, and two soldiers wielding machine guns opened fire on the group of boys.

Da da da.

Countless bullets poured out, weaving into a dense network of firepower in mid-air.

"Damn it!" The red-haired youth leading the group gritted his teeth. He clearly hadn't expected that the other side had secretly planted men. These idiots in the hunter squad were being controlled and yet they were turning against him.

He flipped to his right, dodging a barrage of bullets. The red-haired boy shouted, "Go all out! We don't need any survivors! Just capture that woman!"

Upon hearing the command, the youths no longer hesitated and unleashed their abilities. Acceleration, body hardening, energy attacks… the moment the terrifying power of the ability users erupted, the two hunter soldiers were instantly torn to pieces. They didn't even have time to utter a scream.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Misaki Shokuhou also left the orphanage and sped towards the lush forest in the distance.

This is an ecological park centered around an artificial lake. Because it was still early, there weren't many people in the park. This made it easy for Misaki Shokuhou to hide and conceal herself.

"Damn it, I was careless." Behind a towering ancient tree, Misaki Shokuhou looked at the group of teenagers searching for her not far away, her face full of frustration. "I never expected these guys to have such methods. They can even block my abilities, just who are they?"

"Hmph, I know you're nearby." At this moment, the red-haired boy suddenly spoke up, shouting, "Don't even think about escaping our pursuit. Continuing to resist will only make the damage you suffer even more."

"Tch." Misaki Shokuhou wouldn't pay any attention to the other party's nonsense. Was she supposed to just sit and wait to die, becoming their experimental subject? She'd rather die than live that kind of life. "If I'd known, I should have brought my phone. Damn it!"

Because she hadn't fully trusted Wuyue before, she didn't even dare use the phone Wuyue gave her. This meant that she couldn't contact the outside world.

But what's done is done, and there's no use in regretting it now. Without hesitation, she turned around and ran in another direction.

But before she had run halfway, a flirtatious voice suddenly rang in her ear, laughing, "Gotcha." Abruptly, an arm reached out from mid-air and grabbed her wrist.

It was only then that Misaki Shokuhou realized—this was an invisible person! When exactly had they appeared beside her?

"Hehehe, looks like I won, little mouse." The red-haired boy slowly walked over, a smug smile on his face. "I told you, you can't escape."

"Who exactly are you people?" Misaki Shokuhou demanded angrily. "Why are you doing this?"

"Well. Now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you, we belong to the Kihara family." The red-haired boy looked down at her and said calmly, "Under the control of the Kihara family, neither you nor those lab rats you want to rescue have any chance of escape."

Kihara?! It's Kihara again! What the hell is this family?

Misaki Shokuhou was seething with resentment when, suddenly, the red-haired boy opposite her raised a finger. With a muffled thud, a transparent beam of light, like a laser, grazed her waist and abdomen, striking the lawn behind her. The entire lawn was instantly split in two.

"Stop trying to play tricks, young lady." The red-haired boy seemed quite pleased with his handiwork, smiling slightly. "In front of me, you have no chance of escape."

"Is that so?" Just as he finished speaking, another abrupt voice rang out.

"Who?"

"who?"

35 Everyone present was stunned. Among them were clearly individuals with reconnaissance abilities. Yet, they hadn't noticed anyone lurking nearby.

Tapping.

A figure emerged from the nearby woods. It was a young man. He had short, choppy black hair, wore a white coat, and his handsome face looked relaxed and casual.

"Who is this guy?"

"Which region's researchers are you from?"

How did he end up here?

The teenagers were completely bewildered.

"You, how did you get here?" Misaki Shokuhou asked, her face full of surprise. She naturally recognized the boy as Mugetsu.

Chapter 679: Complete Cruelty

"I'll set off after you deliver the person to the talent workshop." Wu Yue smiled, looking at the blonde girl. "I'll use my ability to pinpoint your location; I can get here quickly." After a brief explanation, he turned his gaze to the group of boys not far away. "Who are these guys?"

“They said they were subordinates of the Kihara family.” Misaki Shokuhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Kihara, do you know them?” For some reason, she felt relaxed when she saw Muzuki.

"Oversees all units directly under the Chairman." Wuyue smiled, her tone relaxed. "They occupy a core position in Academy City's research department. Their total membership is between one hundred and fifty and two hundred. A very powerful clan."

"Who are you?" the red-haired boy asked arrogantly. "Never mind who you are. I'm in a good mood right now that I'm 20. This is none of your business. Get lost."

"Young man, you're quite arrogant." Wuyue didn't seem to care about the other person's attitude and smiled. "Well, I can understand. After all, he's the Kihara family's dog. As a dog, it's natural to like Juanjuan's barking."

"You...you called me a dog?" The red-haired boy asked incredulously.

His companions also looked like they'd seen a ghost. This guy, regardless of whether he was a researcher or not, dared to provoke them like this—had he never died before?

“We shouldn’t use the word ‘insult’.” Wuyue waved her hand and corrected, “Isn’t what I said the truth? The dogs kept by the Kihara family.”

"asshole!"

"Die!"

These teenagers were clearly hot-blooded and impetuous; they couldn't stand such verbal mockery. Moreover, they had a numerical advantage. They immediately charged towards the other side.

"Be careful," Misaki Shokuhou couldn't help but warn. She knew how powerful the boy was, but there were many of them. Moreover, they were all Devil Fruit users.

"Don't be nervous." With a slight smile, Wuyue lightly touched the ground with her toes and rushed towards the crowd.

Bang bang bang.

Under Wu Yue's powerful physical attacks, these ability users were like clay chickens and earthenware dogs. Some didn't even have time to use their abilities before being sent flying backward.

"How is this possible!" The red-haired boy's face showed disbelief. "You, are you a high-level physical enhancement user?"

"You can guess," Wuyue tilted her head and said, "There's a prize if you guess right."

"Die!" the red-haired boy roared furiously, pointing his right index finger in the direction of Wuyue.

laugh.

The transparent air gun shot out, piercing Wuyue's chest like lightning. Blood spurted out with a "plop."

"Hahahaha." Seeing his captain fall, the red-haired boy laughed triumphantly. "Useless! You damned piece of trash, weren't you yelling so loudly just now? Keep going!" Under his cruel gaze, Mugetsu's figure slowly fell. "Now it's your turn, how do you want to die?!" His gaze then turned to Misaki Shokuhou.

"Boss, boss, the higher-ups didn't require..." another boy said tremblingly.

"Shut up!" The red-haired boy was clearly out of control, his eyes bloodshot. "Do I need you to teach me how to do things? I'm not their dog!" This guy was clearly rebellious against Wuyue's blunt words.

"That's right, that's the kind of momentum it should have." Just as he finished speaking, a rather familiar voice suddenly rang out again.

"What?" Everyone was stunned, staring at the black-haired boy.

"You...you're not dead?" The red-haired boy's face was filled with disbelief. "This is impossible!"

"What you call impossible is nothing but your ignorance." Wuyue shook her head gently and said, "Now, it's time to pay the price for your ignorance."

"You'll be the one who pays the price!" Red Hair roared, his fingers moving rapidly. Air bullets shot out like laser guns.

However, facing this dense barrage of fire, Wuyue showed no sign of alarm, effortlessly dodging the attacks as if taking a leisurely stroll. "The projectiles compressed with airflow are indeed quite powerful. They could be considered level 4 power. However, your calculation ability is clearly insufficient. The activation time is too long."

"You bastard..." The other party's blatant slap in the face infuriated the red-haired youth, making him tremble with rage. But at the same time, his heart sank to the bottom. Who exactly is this boy? How can he see through my moves?

"Why can I see through your moves?" As if he could read minds, 613 laid bare Wuyue's thoughts. "That's because the difference between us is like the difference between a human and an ant. No matter how strong the ant is, its ultimate fate is still to be trampled to death by humans."

"Damn it!" Red Hair's composure was clearly disrupted, and he shouted with a somewhat crazed expression, "All of you, get him! Kill him!"

The boys had clearly realized that the man in the white coat was someone to be reckoned with. But under their leader's orders, they had no choice but to press forward. And then, in the next instant, they were all instantly killed!

As if his vision had suddenly vanished, the boy abruptly disappeared. The next instant, he reappeared behind the group of boys, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

call.

A gentle breeze stirred, ruffling the boy's white robes. In that moment, he seemed like a demon god descended to earth, holding sway over countless lives. "Farewell, unknown boy. It was truly delightful to play with you."

These were the last words the red-haired boy heard. He didn't even know how the other person had attacked before his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness.

Chapter 680: Aleister's Attention

"You...you killed them?" Although she already knew the boy wasn't a soft-hearted person, Misaki Shokuhou still felt a little uncomfortable seeing him kill people with her own eyes. Moreover, the way these guys died wasn't very gruesome either. Red and white blood was everywhere.
