Chihaya Aine has nine wings

Aine closed her eyes tightly.

Those who don't kill me will eventually become stepping stones for me to temper my will!

Then, Aine didn't fall asleep until four in the morning.

When she woke up again, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon. It was Lena who sat on Aine's legs and pressed her awake.

“Aine, I’m hungry.” Lena pushed Aine’s stomach, “Let’s eat.”

Aiyin just woke up and was still dazed: "...Eh? Where's Xiangzi?"

She was still in Xiangzi's bed, but where was Xiangzi? Where was my cute little Xiang who was so big? How did he become Lenai?

I looked at the watch. Oh, it's twelve o'clock. Xiangzi should have gone to work.

Aiyin sat up and rubbed her head: "Didn't the uncle look for you?"

"Old Deng, he said he has something to do and can't pick me up today." Le Nai took out a matcha mint candy from his trouser pocket, "Take me in, this is the reward."

Aiyin stared at the candy for a long time, then reached out and pushed the candy back.

Just take him in. It's not like he needs a few meals anyway. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to sleep with Xiangzi again tonight.

Also a good thing.

"Have you had breakfast?" Aine asked while stretching.

She usually eats breakfast, but she just didn't get up this morning.

Alas, Xiaoxiang caused me to miss the early court session, which really brought disaster to the country and the people.

"Yes, Xiangzi helped me do it." Le Na called her by her name, "Ain was like an octopus at the time, and I helped Xiangzi get out of it. She paid me with breakfast."

“…” Aine remained silent.

........................

The underground city is the other side of Tokyo. Just like what is described in many fantasy works, under the glamorous surface city of Tokyo, there is a chaotic and dirty place.

This is where the lowest class hide, where the brave and aggressive people live, and where most normal Tokyo citizens try to avoid.

Underground city.

Today's Tokyo has replaced its drainage system due to the Sky Island system, and the old drainage system has been abandoned.

The huge sewers that can accommodate ships, large areas of abandoned air-raid shelters and subway stations have been connected to form a network, and have been transformed into places where the poor can live and the lowest class can hide.

Even the heroes and police are unwilling to manage this place. They just silently monitor every exit of the dungeon to ensure that people underground do not come up and cause trouble.

Somewhere underground, Lixi was walking on a dim and damp road. On the left side of the road was a waterway with flowing water, while on the right side were various sheds made of discarded cloth and plastic.

She is in the dungeon now, to meet someone.

It’s just that the people here have never been very welcoming to the police and heroes coming down from above, so Lixi wore casual clothes, a hood and a mask.

Going further ahead, the scene becomes different.

This is a huge air-raid shelter with a ceiling as high as four or five stories. Orange and yellow electric lights are hung everywhere on the walls, illuminating the place.

The place was bustling with people, and houses were built one on top of another like a pyramid. People were coming and going, and many of them were setting up stalls to buy things and shouting loudly.

This is what the dungeon really looks like.

The road that Li Xi passed by just now was not a real underground city. The people living in those shacks were just people who could neither live in the sun nor be accepted by the underground city.

The real underground city, although messy and dirty, is still orderly and full of vitality. There is no police jurisdiction here, but it is not without people in charge.

There are five law enforcers here, managing all the affairs of the dungeon. Anyone who makes trouble here and crosses the bottom line will be dealt with, and any matter concerning the collective interests of the dungeon residents will also be solved by the law enforcers.

For example, the running water flowing in a waterway.

In fact, this water is not from the sewers. After all, Tokyo has long used a new drainage system, and sewage is no longer transported through these waterways. The water that is still flowing in the waterways is actually groundwater that law enforcement officers have opened up - running water is not easy to breed bacteria.

Lixi came to a door and knocked. The room behind this door was embedded in the wall of the air-raid shelter.

The door opened.

Li Xi went in and greeted, "Hai Ling."

"Good afternoon, Li Xi." The black-haired girl turned her attention away from the unfinished mecha in front of her and looked at Li Xi, "Why are you here? Is it for business or personal matters?"

The police station does not have very detailed information about Hachiman Kailing. All we know is that she is a mysterious and powerful mercenary who also masters superb technology in manufacturing supernatural equipment. At the same time, she is also a close friend of the supernatural police officer Shiina Riki.

All members of AveMujica are like this. What is recorded in the official archives is only the tip of the iceberg of their abilities.

According to official records, Xiangzi only has the ability to be a psychological counselor who can calm people down.

Miao Meng only has the ability to create illusions.

Chu Hua's most superficial file shows that he is incapable. However, it is said that the authorities have a deeper and more unknown file on Chu Hua... However, the authenticity of the news needs to be verified.

And Ruoye Mu is the most different among the five.

There are detailed records of Wakaba Mu's abilities in the official website.

On the contrary, when he was a member of AveMujica, he only showed the tip of the iceberg of his abilities.

After all, although this tip of the iceberg may not sound like much, it is definitely enough.

"Business." Li Xi looked around the room, "There's a rat in here."

"Here" refers to the dungeon.

The room was more like a workshop, with construction machinery everywhere and the air filled with the smell of motor oil.

Same as last time.

"What does your investigation have to do with me?" Hachiman Hailing put the wrench on the table, walked to the refrigerator, turned around and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

It really has nothing to do with her. Li Xi and the others can investigate if they want. Law enforcers generally won't clash with heroes over some criminals hiding in the dungeon. That is a very unwise choice.

Here, the underground city is divided into five areas, each managed by five law enforcers. One of the law enforcers is even said to be a former section chief of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

"I don't drink. What I want to ask is, have you heard of similar things?" Li Xi asked with his arms crossed, "About intruders, recently."

"I've been helping people make equipment." Hai Ling pointed at the half-finished mecha, "What do you think?"

"Is that so... I thought you would know." Li Xi showed a distressed expression, "After all, the person who sneaked in brought a reverse force field generator."

Hearing this, Hai Ling's expression became serious: "This is impossible."

"How is it impossible?" Li Xi asked.

"The only person in the world who can build a reverse force field generator is dead." Hai Ling frowned.

"That's true." Li Xi shrugged, "But the fact is, that person has one. Maybe someone else has mastered the technology of reverse force field, or maybe it's one left over from the beginning that was not destroyed. In short, she has one."

Hai Ling was silent for a while: "Then I hope you can move faster. I like Tokyo very much and don't want to move."

The reverse force field generation technology was developed by a British professor of supernatural studies two years ago.

As we all know, the working principle of the superpower inhibitor is to generate a special superpower field to interfere with the human body's control and display of its own superpowers.

The reverse force field can be understood as a mirror force field that can cancel each other out with the superpower inhibitor. The inhibitory force field is positive, and the reverse force field is negative. When the two force fields are superimposed on each other, they will completely cancel each other out, causing the inhibitory force field to lose its superpower inhibitory effect.

This technology is amazing, because although it sounds simple, generating a reverse force field is ten thousand times more difficult than generating a positive inhibitory force field.

At the same time, this technology is undoubtedly terrifying. In today's society, all kinds of suppression of people with out-of-control superpowers and imprisonment of criminals are based on superpower inhibitors.

If someone could make those power suppressors fail at will, there would definitely be chaos in the world.

So, on the sixth day after the professor developed the reverse force field generation technology, his laboratory was attacked by terrorists. After a lot of chaos, all the people in his laboratory died and all the research results were destroyed. Since then, no one has been able to reproduce his technology.

It should be so.

But now someone has reappeared with a reverse force field generator.

And it is at this critical juncture.

"Is it related to Arigo's matter?" Hai Ling asked.

"Perhaps," Lixi said, "If that's true, then it's not impossible for Arrigo to be breached from the outside."

"I'll keep an eye on it for you." Hai Ling nodded.

"Then I'm leaving." Li Xi turned and walked out, "Remember to lend me your math homework when you come back."

They are still classmates.

The door is closed.

Hai Ling looked at the schoolbag that she had been ignoring in the corner and took a deep breath.

There is even math homework.

Outside.

"Aren't you good friends?" Li Xi heard the voice of the long-haired senior, "You guys always talk like this."

Li Xi thought for a moment: "Isn't that right?"

"That's not right. This is not a police and gangster movie. You are JKs! Show more youthful vitality!" The long-haired senior complained loudly.

"...We have always been like this." Li Xi thought for a moment and replied.

It's been like this since childhood.

…………

Inside the house, Hai Ling, who was holding a math workbook with a hesitant look on her face, heard the alarm and turned to look at the display screen. The screen was playing the footage from the camera.

That is an entrance to the basement.

A familiar pink-haired girl was standing at the door, hesitant about something.

Hai Ling was silent for a while, then picked up her phone and made a call: "Hello, Xiangzi. Yes, it's me."

She looked at the person on the screen: "Chihaya Aine wants to go into the dungeon, is that okay?"

Chapter 50: Being Disliked by the Cat

There was a reason why Aine was standing at the entrance of the dungeon.

To explain, we need to turn back the clock three hours.

At that time, she had just gotten up and wanted to make a simple lunch, but found that the refrigerator was empty. Feeling a little troubled, Aine had to take Lenna out to find food.

I just found a random family restaurant.

"Hey? Isn't this little Lenai?" It turned out that the shop owner and Lenai were very familiar with each other.

Then Aine learned that most of the shop owners on this street knew Le Na. In the summer, Le Na would often go to these shops to take a nap in the air conditioning. It is said that the sales of the shops that Le Na liked would double that day.

"So everyone welcomes little Lenai." said the boss with a smile.

“Ahahaha, is that so?” Aine wiped her sweat secretly.

Fortunately, Aine and Lenna were given two free Matcha parfaits by the boss.

After dinner, Aine wanted to go back to the apartment with Lenna, but Lenna didn't seem to be happy about it.

"The apartment is boring." Lena broke away and ran away, "Aine, go back, I'll play by myself."

Aiyin reluctantly chased after him.

Although it seems that Lenai is unlikely to encounter any danger, the way she looks makes me worry that she will get into trouble and I will have to go to the police station to rescue her.

So the afternoon cat walk began.

The further she walked, the more surprised Aine was. Every time she passed by some shops, someone would greet Lena, and if she met a policeman or a hero on patrol, she might even get one or two matcha candies.

It feels like a mascot.

As her temporary guardian, Aine was also lucky enough to receive candy, although she didn't like it that much.

Sometimes you will come across a crime scene, like now, in the distance, a policeman is talking to a purple-haired foreign woman whose bag was snatched by a motorcycle thief.

"Are you sure this bag is yours?" asked the policeman.

The hero chased after the woman and retrieved the bag, but left because he had other things to do. The police came to deal with the aftermath, but they didn't know the situation at the scene, so they just confirmed whether the bag belonged to the purple-haired woman.

"Yes, this is indeed mine." The woman was dressed like a tourist and was very pretty. "Thank you very much for helping me get it back."

"Well... can you let me open it? Tell me what's in the bag so I can confirm if you are the owner of the bag?" asked the police.

"Ah..." The purple-haired woman hesitated, "There are... private items in here..."
