"Yeah... an unpleasant guy." Thinking of the other party's previous warning, Steve frowned.

"what happened?"

"Yeah." Steve didn't intend to hide it, just when he was about to tell Lily about the situation, a soft hum suddenly came from behind him.

"Well?"

Just one word can feel that person's unhappiness.

The two turned their heads at the same time, and Steve saw a thin man standing behind him.Steve took a couple of steps back, letting the light show him—a black T-shirt with a white pattern, jeans, and white hair that looked careless.

"Get out of the way." The other party raised his head, his tone was very lazy.

Steve decisively leaned against the wall to get out of the way.It's not that he's afraid of this little man, it's just that he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

But the other party didn't move...because Lily didn't get out of the way.

"Get out of the way." The other party said again.

"The alley is so wide, won't you go around by yourself?" Lily also looked at the other party with very unhappy eyes.

...how did this come to blows?

"..." The other party stared at Lily for three seconds, and Steve noticed that his gaze was on Lily's staff, and then snorted softly, "cosplay?"

"Ah? What cosplay?" Lily didn't realize what the word meant.

"No?" The other party blinked: "Are you outsiders?"

"Outsiders..." Recognized as outsiders at a glance, Lily was thinking about the connection, "We did come here by accident..."

Lily was just about to explain, but she heard the other party sneer: "It's easy to believe if you tell a lie. This is Academy City, and it's closed to the public except for certain hours. Without an ID card, it's hard to walk here. , how did you accidentally get here?"

"..."

After the other party told this information, Steve and Lily looked at each other.

"Master, do you want to restrain him? This is a place that seems to be a military forbidden area. It would be bad if you let him go to the army here." Lily suggested using the connection between the contracts.

"But it's meaningless to knock down a passer-by casually now! Why don't you go to the cell and have a look?"

Steve said it didn't matter.

But what was strange to him was that the other party not only did not leave after revealing the identities of himself and Lily, but looked at him with a contemptuous smile.

"Uh, aren't you going to call the police?" Steve didn't understand what the other party wanted to do.

"Heh," the other party just sneered slightly, "I thought you guys would have a bit of backbone... I'm a little disappointed."

...When he said that, Steve kind of understood what he meant.

"Want to fight?"

"Forget it, don't say you are good citizens, you are not even invaders from Skill Out, what am I expecting..." The other party shook his head and said to himself, and then he walked over.

Steve sets out the octopole.

Seeing Steve's move, the other party smiled: "Ancient Chinese martial arts? It seems interesting."

Steve's steel fist directly greeted the opponent's chest and abdomen, but when the fist felt like hitting the opponent, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from the fist, and the counter-shock force directly shook him off. Six blocks of blood... Steve took three steps back.

"Huh? Because I look like a brat, so you didn't use all your strength? What a shit luck!" The other party stood with a smile, without moving.

"Master, are you okay!"

"It's okay, the other party has retaliated." Steve's understanding of this is relatively simple and intuitive.Steve rubbed his hands, and then took out the Mithril helmet, armor, pants and shoes from the backpack one by one under the increasingly strange eyes of the other party, and put them on, "As long as the defense is higher, there will be no problem." Problem!"

Regarding Steve's attire, the white-haired boy was stunned for a moment, and then he started laughing: "What! Where did you come from the circus? Are you a period drama actor? Hahaha, what, that strange attire ?!"

"Am I funny?" Steve asked Lily inexplicably.

Lily still understood why the other party laughed: "For this...people here, it should be very strange!"

Having said that, Lily clapped her hands, and the armor on Steve's body disappeared. This disappearance was obviously not really disappearing, but just invisible.

The white-haired boy who noticed Lily's movements stopped laughing: "...is it similar to the ability of optical camouflage..."

"I'm sorry, but you have to suffer a little bit," Steve said before throwing his fist.

But the other party just showed a nonchalant smile.

Lily felt that the other party smiled very strangely, and the effect of the punch just now was also a bit weird... But because of the lack of information, it didn't arouse her vigilance.

Steve punches again, this time with a little more force than before.

In the next second, the anti-injury effect was much greater than Steve expected, and he was directly sent flying by the opponent.

But the white-haired boy was not relaxed either. He took three or four steps back and then sat down on the ground.

"Master!" Lily ran to the dark place, and saw Steve embedded in the wall in the shape of a "big" character, "Master, you..."

"I'm... fine," said Steve, and he glanced at himself, which had been brushed to the point where he had only one bloodskin left.

This is not as simple as losing six blocks of blood just now.In addition to the defensive power of the mithril suit, the heart container of the craftsman soul module more than doubled his blood volume. If it weren't for this thing, he would have been given a second by the opponent.But for the result of this blow, Steve also gained something.

He pulled himself out of the wall, and then jumped down as if nothing happened: "His ability is weird, it feels like that."

"That kind?" Lily froze for a moment, then realized that what Steve was talking about referred to regular power.

When they were on Beibei Island before, the two of them summed up the characteristics of regular power together: first, it may not be very combative, but it is absolutely unreasonable; Inherent laws; third, both targeting and being targeted are very strong.

"Who are you? What did you just do?"

The voice of the other party came from under the lamp.

The boy who could knock Steve down with only a trace of blood in one blow also had a vigilant expression on his face.

"What did you do?" Steve asked back.

So both sides were silent at the same time.

Steve still has some clues, because the opponent's ability is obvious, which is to reflect the attack.

The opponent didn't move at the first blow, which means that he reflected all the damage back, and he didn't even suffer any damage.

I used more strength for the second blow, and the reflected force was even greater, but this seemed to exceed his maximum reflection, so he was also hurt?Realizing something, Steve opened the props bar and took a look at his armor. The new Mithril armor lost a trace of durability visible to the naked eye, which was about one-thirtieth... This made Steve, who was a little aware, He glanced at the most durable attribute at the bottom of Mithril armor: thorns.

"Why didn't I find this garbage attribute so practical..."

"Master, do you have an idea?" Lily asked after hearing Steve whispering.

"Well, it's a little bit." Steve waved his hand to signal Lily to get out of the way, and walked up to the white-haired boy clutching his stomach, "Can I ask you a question?"

Using the word "ask for advice", Steve's attitude is really a bit polite.

This eased the hostility of the white-haired boy a little. After all, it was just an occasional fight. It would be fine if it was a gangster who dealt with the "armed and incompetent group" as usual, but the opponent was obviously not someone he could crush without injury. Role.Although this is the first time he has encountered such a ruthless character... After a few thoughts in his mind, the white-haired boy brushed off his clothes and stood up: "What do you want to say?"

"Do you know the root cause?" Steve asked bluntly.

"What's that?" The white-haired boy frowned.

"Maybe different words are used in different worlds, Master, let me say it!" Lily walked over, "We are looking for a form of power, like yours, that can directly change reality."

Hearing Lily's words, the other party suddenly smiled: "What are you talking about? This is Academy City, and all capable users here can use their own abilities to create their own reality."

Chapter 233 Accelerator [Part [-]]

"……real?"

Steve saw the disbelief on Lily's face, although he didn't need to look to know it was the same expression on his own.

The white-haired boy showed a 'you're boring' expression: "Do you think I have to lie to you?"

"But..." Lily couldn't accept it, "How is it possible, the root cause is that it is forbidden to be touched... Or are there already many rules here that have been rationalized?"

Lily couldn't understand it here, and the white-haired boy couldn't understand it even more.

He looked at the two without saying a word.

The young man is not quite sure what kind of identities these two people are, but judging from the situation just now, he obviously did not touch him, but let himself be hurt. This method is obviously not any kind he knows .Feeling the heavy blow on his abdominal cavity, he seemed to feel the pain without feeling the force just now... Does that mean the other party has a similar reflex ability?

Recalling the unprecedented pain, the white-haired boy lowered his gaze.

"I've already told you what you want to know, and you should answer my question, who are you? What's the purpose of coming here?"

"Us?" Steve blinked. "My name is Steve, and I'm an explorer. I'm here to find something related to the root."

"I am a follower of the Master." Lily just echoed lightly.

"People from other forces..." The white-haired boy who understood without authorization did not fully believe in the other party, sniffed out a snort, and made a general situation in his mind... This is also an expected answer, " Is the thing you are looking for very powerful?"

"Of course." Lily nodded. For those who don't understand what the root is, it can only be explained in such a simple way.

"If it's something very powerful, I think you should be able to find the clues you want in the windowless building in the seventh school district."

The other party generously pointed out the goal for himself, but it made people feel a little suspicious: "Why are you helping us?"

"No, I don't want to help you guys." Compared with the previous contempt or vigilance, the white-haired boy now looks a little lazy, "I'm not interested in the dog-eat-dog thing. I have something to do, and the convenience store will be closed later. You can do whatever you like."

"……What's the meaning?"

"Literally." The white-haired boy didn't want to say anything more, so he disappeared into the alley and walked away.

Steve and Lily looked at each other.

"The guy with the weird ability really has a weird personality."

Steve nodded for reconsideration, "Then what should we do now? Go to the building without windows as he said?"

"No, I think it's the best choice for us to follow him," Lily shook her head, "I don't believe that everyone here can get in touch with the root, and his power is obviously extraordinary. It can’t be lost. As for the building, it’s not in the plan yet.”

"Oh? That family has already left!"

"It's okay, I've already made a familiar to follow." Lily said that everything depends on me.

Having learned the lesson of being instantly recognizable before, Lily modified her attire according to the girl who passed by just now.

Facing Lily's new look, Steve couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Noticing his gaze, the girl raised her eyebrows: "What are you looking at?"

"Uh, no..." Steve looked away guiltily.

The little witch smiled slightly, and turned around in a circle: "How do you feel?"

White shirts, blue sleeveless vests and blue skirts, once the simple uniform is changed, it will not be so conspicuous immediately.But when most people see this girl, they still can't help but look sideways. Without the complicated attire that looks like a magician and feels a bit priestly, the only feeling that a girl in a uniform gives people is that she is clean.

Too clean to bear to touch.

"Not bad." Steve wiped his nose.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't expect you to have any special feelings." Lili still looked very happy when she said so, "The other party has gone far, let's chase after him quickly."

With the sign given by the familiar, the two just need to follow from a distance.

After walking out of the alley, Steve found that the feeling here is not very different from that of Fuyuki.

But according to Lily, it's more 'advanced' here.

……advanced?

Steve didn't quite understand the gap.But those trash cans that moved back and forth quickly attracted his attention.

Thinking that there was someone inside, Steve went up curiously and patted the lid of the trash can, but the other party turned around and asked in a mechanical voice, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Aren't you hot in there?"

"Please express your intentions accurately. This is the security robot INST-5397, and I am happy to serve you."

"...what the hell?"

"Please express your intentions precisely, and I will continue to patrol if there is no need."

"Oh, then go ahead!" Steve waved his hand at it... and then felt a knock on the back of the head.

Turning around, I saw Lily with her hands on her hips: "Master, what are you doing?"

"I'm just curious who can squat in such a low trash can..."

"That's not a trash can. It's something on the technology side. It's something similar to a familiar. It simply receives and executes orders." Lily held Steve's wrist involuntarily, "Go, the other party has entered a in a building."

……

"What is he doing?"

"It seems to be really just shopping."
