"..."

Accelerator will no longer discuss this topic.

"Instead, take its place," he continued.

"The plaza in front of the concert hall in District 7, right? In that case, let's just go over there and kill that sniper bastard."

"No...it's impossible! The speech is about to start, and there are less than ten minutes left!"

Accelerator couldn't help but frown.

Even with multiple teleportations using the spatial teleportation technique, it would be difficult to reach the destination in such a short time.

But he was confident.

"Don't worry about it, you two just stay there and don't move."

"What? Hey, what are you planning to do, Accelerator!"

"Shut up and just watch quietly."

He unilaterally hung up the phone.

Next…

flooring the accelerator—no, it should be said that accelerating the engine to an unlimited level.

In an instant, the sports car named Nathos accelerated.

—4,896 kilometers per hour.

At Mach 4, the sports car lifted off the ground like a fighter jet.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

This is the plaza in front of the concert hall in School District 7.

Today is a holiday, so naturally there are many students, almost all of them gathered around this square.

the reason is simple.

About 100 meters directly in front of the square, a speech that has been prepared for a long time will take place.

"It must be her."

The white shadow fell directly from the sky to the ground.

Nathos could easily reach speeds many times the speed of sound, and relying on this, Accelerator arrived at this distant region almost instantly.

On the stage directly in front of him was an elderly woman with white hair almost identical to his.

That was one of the members of the ruling council, Shinsenmochi.

"I never expected that there would be such a naive guy in that kind of ruling council."

The thought that among those twelve people there were actually some who cared about the masses instead of just their own interests made Accelerator feel somewhat amused.

He didn't care about the situation on the ground. Using the strongest superpower in Academy City, he quickly reached the rooftop not far away.

The sniper known as Sand Dish Dense should be nearby.

Accelerator doesn't have any detection abilities, and even with Doomsday Destroyer, it's impossible to find such skills; most of them are just powerful attack moves.

So how exactly do you stop them? Should you run directly to the very center of the ship and deflect their bullets?

How could I possibly do something so stupid?

However, this does not mean that he has no other choice.

Standing on the rooftop, he took something out of his arms and aimed it directly at the front.

A silver pistol, named Silverwing, an ever-shining silver light gun.

The gun's internal structure possesses extraordinary computational capabilities, capable of generating any type of ammunition at will, and calculating the appropriate trajectory and force based on the situation on the ground.

He pulled the gear at the bottom of the gun to convert it into the corresponding ammunition.

In reality, a pistol alone is not enough to complete this operation, since the time it takes for ammunition to be fired is instantaneous, and ordinary people's senses simply cannot keep up with it.

But can Accelerator really be described using ordinary human language?

--impossible.

In an instant, a massive amount of computing power exploded in his mind.

The sound of the wind became clear and melodious, and even the direction of the wind itself was crystal clear.

Accelerator realized that everything around him was like a slow-motion video multiplied hundreds of times. Everyone was in an incredibly slow state, and with the boost from his computing power, this situation would continue to intensify.

Sensory enhancement.

By outputting the computational power used for calculation to other senses, namely the mind and the five senses, and connecting them together, one can enter a state similar to hyperspeed.

Accelerator has engaged in countless supersonic battles throughout his career.

His physique should be that of a normal person, and his speed comes from his ability, but what about his mental strength? What is it that allows his mental strength to keep up with an enemy who is also moving faster than the speed of sound?

The answer lies here, thanks to his immense computing power.

Only a brain at the level of almost the number one in Academy City could do this, using immense computing power to compensate for sensory impairments, thereby achieving supersonic-level visual sensations.

Just pay attention to a certain direction.

Accelerator scanned everything in front of him with his eyes and finally pinpointed a location.

—Located directly in front of the podium, in front of a tall building nearly 100 meters away.

There he saw branches that looked like gun barrels.

"Hit the jackpot."

Bang——! !

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, and a sniper-grade bullet shot out instantly.

Almost simultaneously, another person's ammunition also erupted.

The two warheads, which were traveling in completely different directions, ended up converging at the same point—colliding with each other in mid-air.

Boom——!

The damage caused by the warheads shatters the air in an instant.

Chapter 187 The Five Major Dark Organizations

Fueled by the storm, a powerful shockwave exploded out in an instant.

Flames and black smoke ignited directly in mid-air.

"Wha, what?"

The bombing startled everyone else nearby.

The students surrounding the area stared wide-eyed, unable to resist looking up at the spot in mid-air where the sound had just come from.

Was that an explosion just now?

Because both sides were actually using silenced fire, even the sniper rifles didn't produce any sound at all.

However, the result after hedging is completely different.

The two warheads disintegrated the moment they made contact. A unique energy source within the Silver Wing munitions detonated, directly affecting the surrounding matter and triggering an explosion.

That would be enough to attract the attention of those around them, no matter what.

In other words, this was enough to make the most vigilant person on the ship.

"Is it...an attack?"

"This is bad! It's highly likely that someone is planning an assassination!"

"Hide now!"

The guards standing on both sides quickly protected the bride's mother, even though they had no idea who was responsible for all of this, or even whether it was an accident. They still had to ensure that the possibility of the bride's mother being assassinated was reduced to zero.

We must protect this member of the twelve-member ruling council no matter what.

"asshole…"

The sand dish was so dense that he couldn't help but clench his teeth.

Who exactly are they from and where are they? How did they discover me and neutralize my attack?

Now is not the time to care about such things. Sha Zimi stepped back, trying his best to find the figure below.

"Retreat."

The voice suddenly came from the communicator next to my ear.

"The assassination attempt has been exposed. Continuing will only be futile. The mother ship will have more people protecting her, so there's no way to carry out the assassination this way."

"not enough."

Sand Vessel pressed his hand tightly against his communicator and said.

"The guy who stopped my assassination hasn't been found yet, so the mission isn't over!"

"...Hey, can't you understand what I'm saying?"

What came from the other side was a tone even more terrifying than the killer tone of the Sand Dish.

"I'm telling you to retreat."

A terrifying aura, as if it were a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, was conveyed from the other side through the tone of voice.

As an assassin, Sanda Michi couldn't help but shudder. When he realized this, his hand had already involuntarily left his gun.

"…hateful!"

For a sniper, this kind of frustrating assassination attempt is probably a first.

He quickly put away his silenced sniper rifle and retreated with a reluctant expression.

If he could, he would love to kill the guy who was standing in his way right now... but that was basically impossible.

Not knowing who was interfering with him and not even seeing the other person, going out rashly under these circumstances would only result in his identity being exposed.

This is not something an organized killer should do.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Because of the explosions of the warheads in mid-air, the people around seemed to become alarmed, and the lecture was forcibly interrupted.

Everything went exactly as Accelerator had predicted.

"Once a riot is started, the crowd can be evacuated immediately."

If we had to find out exactly where the enemy was hiding beforehand and then locate and kill them, that would be far too tedious and complicated.

In that case, Accelerator simply chose the simplest method: first, block the enemy's attack, and then use the result of the block to create an explosion with enough impact. This would directly remind the hostage, Monetaka, that the speech could not continue at all.

That's a really simple and straightforward approach.

"What...what other moves will they make next?"

Accelerator stepped forward openly and honestly.

He looked around, but there was no one on the road who looked suspicious, and he couldn't sense any hostility or murderous intent coming from him.

It seems they've run away.

"What a spineless bastard."

I thought they would come after me, but it turns out they only had that little courage.

Accelerator took out his phone again and dialed a number.

"One-way?"

"It's all over. I forcibly stopped the speech, so that guy can't continue the assassination."

"...You're really something."

Ignoring the slightly surprised voice of Tsuchimikado Motoharu on the other side, he continued to think about the current situation.

"Although we stopped that guy, that coward still managed to escape in the end. Is there any new information to confirm this?"

"some."
