Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 134

Is this considered a worldline fix?

After soaking in the hot spring, Rin watched TV in her room, while Pendragon turned on the live broadcast on his personal computer on the balcony.

It's quite late now, and apart from a few students who like to go out at night and tireless cleaning robots, the streets of Academy City are deserted.

On a rooftop with a wide view, Misaka Mikoto, who had been marked by Pendragon's quantum computer, placed the large violin case on her back on the ground, glanced at the time on the clock of the building next door, and silently opened the case.

The girl's palm was electrified, and with the help of electromagnetic energy, the support frame, gun barrel, and scope were quickly assembled and fixed, and set up.

With the bullet chambered, Misaka put on her goggles, her slender shoulders bracing against the stock, and her arms lifting the sniper rifle, which was almost as tall as her.

Her orange hair swayed slightly in the air, and Misaka's body moved like a robot strictly following instructions, without the slightest tremor, with terrifying precision.

"The crosswind is very strong, so I'm correcting the crosshair three notches to the left."

Misaka Sisters adjusted the dial on the scope while speaking in a flat, emotionless voice what she was doing.

"Building wind... a whirlwind from three directions..."

"Adjust the crosshair one notch to the right."

"Target codename 'Accelerator'."

The specially modified sniper rifle has been given an additional burst mode. As long as the user can withstand the terrifying recoil and maintain shooting accuracy, it can be used like a submachine gun.

With anti-materiel sniper weapons firing at such a high frequency, it goes without saying what will happen: a tank with slightly thin armor will be torn apart!

Arcs of electricity shot out from the shoulder that was pressed against the butt of the rifle, as if secured by a rope.

In fact, the strong magnetic field generated by the electric current is sufficient to completely cancel out the recoil of the gun, and the fixing effect is better than that of a rope.

Aim at the target, then switch to burst fire mode and pull the trigger!

"..."

???

The expected loud gunshots and recoil did not occur. In fact, the gun made very little noise, like a water gun soaked in soapy water, which would only spray a long string of colorful bubbles when the trigger was pulled.

Misaka tilted her head in surprise, staring silently at the weapon in her hand. All the parameters seemed to be accurate, so... why couldn't it fire a bullet?

She removed the magazine to check it, but before she could even examine the condition of the bullets, the originally heavy magazine instantly turned into a cup of "What am I to you?" milk tea in Misaka's hands.

"milk tea?"

It's freshly brewed, steaming hot, with the perfect ratio of milk to sugar, and it even has bursting tapioca pearls inside!

How could this be?

Misaka Mikoto couldn't resist taking a sip. This was to study the changes in the weapon and see if it had really turned into drinkable milk tea, not because it looked too tempting.

Why did the magazine turn into food?

Misaka Sisters seemed to open the door to a new world, and the originally deadly weapon underwent a strange transformation.

The slender gun barrel was transformed into a golden, crispy egg roll, the stock was a large piece of chocolate, and the gun body and its parts were transformed into soft, warm waffles.

...Although the situation is very strange and has completely transcended the realm of science, this gun really tastes delicious.

Since Misaka Sisters have already eaten the weapon used in this experiment, the battle cannot take place, and naturally they will not be harmed.

The experiment could not continue, and Misaka Sisters did not know what to do next, so she reported the situation through the connection between brainwaves.

The person in charge there was also completely dumbfounded. If Misaka Mikoto wasn't incapable of lying, they wouldn't have believed such a fantastical event even if they were beaten to death.

"Is there anything left?"

"What? They ate them all?"

"Come back and get your stomach pumped. The experiment is temporarily suspended."

There's a mole inside; terminate the transaction.

Having received the order, Misaka returned to the research institute with her empty cello case on her back. The person in charge needed to extract enough research material from her stomach.

The Absolute Ability experiment was just a cover; wasn't the Hanged Man's real goal to create an artificial celestial realm? Would it be the same in this world?

Would rushing over and beating up Suzuna Yuriko stop the experiment?

Pendragon glanced at Pure God, who had been successfully discharged from the hospital, from the balcony. He thought, "Let the powerless deal with the strongest superhuman. That way, no one can object, and the Hanged Man can take the opportunity to stop the experiment."

Before that, all we need to do is prevent the experiment from proceeding.

Pendragon had the computer print out a copy of the Misaka Sisters mass production plan information, which would appear where necessary if needed.

In Pendragon's pupils appeared a scene of a silver-haired boy hugging and frantically biting the head of a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair.

People in this world might think this guy is cute, but from Pendragon's perspective, he definitely gives off a creepy, harassing vibe.

GuaTa's healing ability is truly overpowered. He recovered from a completely severed hand in such a short time, and without any aftereffects.

After putting away his personal terminal, Pendragon went back to reading. He didn't have the habit of spying on other people's privacy.

Recently, rumors have been circulating in Academy City that stored-value cards are hidden in remote locations. These cards, which are essentially bearer checks, can be exchanged for cash or used directly as cash.

As more and more people found the cards, the rumors spread wider and faster, and even Railgun knew about them. His roommate even found one while taking a shortcut.

Because of this incident, the junior colleague investigating the cash card had to work overtime in the sandwiched maid area. Railgun appeared outwardly happy, but was actually quite cheerful as he greeted them and left.

Finally, he could shop in the mall all by himself without any worries, and he even felt a sense of relief.

This is all because this junior named Shirai not only likes him, but is also a pervert, to the point of being pathological.

P.S.: I haven't watched TV in ages, I wonder if Jay Chou's commercial is still airing on TV. My beloved, held in the palm of my hand~ What am I to you? 233

Chapter 231 An Awkward Yet Polite Smile

Chapter 231

In this world, girls liking girls might be met with discrimination and strange looks from some people, but no one says anything about boys liking boys, or gay relationships. It's just friendship between boys, and no matter how close they are, it's not excessive.

However, no matter what... it's really hard to accept that someone would sneak into someone else's bed and sleep with their roommate at night.

Moreover, this kind of behavior is just basic for Shirai. He will hug her whenever he gets the chance, and he often sneaks up on people when they are not paying attention, which is a real headache.

Therefore, having the opportunity to get rid of Shirai's entanglement was a relaxing thing for Misaka, both physically and mentally.

As Misaka was passing through an alley, she accidentally bumped into another boy who was walking backwards out of the alley. The boy quickly apologized, and Misaka said it was okay. Then she heard the boy talking to his companion about cash cards.

The two of them were deliberately looking for opportunities to make money in these remote places.

"Rumors? Neither Kuroko nor I are really familiar with rumors."

Misaka sighed helplessly. When it comes to rumors, Rui-sama is definitely more adept at them.

A familiar image flashed through Misaka's mind. Then, the next second, a familiar figure crawled backwards out of the alley.

No, because it was too "wishful thinking," Misaka felt that such a coincidence was unlikely, and therefore did not recognize her immediately.

Tears-Grandpa lay on the ground like a puppy, sniffing the air like a puppy, searching for something. His hands and feet moved quickly, like Voldemort.

"Are there none left around here?"

After thoroughly investigating the surrounding area, Tears Grandpa drew his own conclusion.

"Um... Saten-san?"

Misaka leaned forward slightly and greeted Rui-sama, who was lying on the ground, in an uncertain tone.

"Ah! It's Misaka-senpai!"

Tears-Covering Grandpa clapped his hands and knees and walked over.

"What is Saten-san doing? Is she looking for the legendary cash card?"

"Hmm? Senior knows?"

Speaking of this, Lei Ye's delicate face was filled with happiness and pride as he pulled out a stack of envelopes from the pocket behind him.

"Clang clang clang!"

Accompanied by the dazzling entrance sound effects composed by Tearful Lord himself, Misaka's eyes widened in surprise.

"Okay, so awesome!"

"My nose is particularly sensitive to these kinds of rumors."

As he spoke with a laugh, Tears Grandpa began sniffing around again.

"That's it..."

Misaka gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Yoshi! Let's go check that place out together again!"

Tears grabbed Misaka's arm and ran in one direction.

"Huh?! I wasn't looking for..."

"no problem, no problem!"

Without saying a word, Tears interrupted Misaka without even hearing what she was saying.

Then, the school district's loudspeaker came on.

"It's almost time for school to end. Students, please go home as soon as possible."

The broadcast was playing on repeat. Misaka followed Rui-ye out of the alley, bent over with her arms hanging down, and let out a long, listless sigh.

In the end, things didn't get any easier...

"We found it by evening."

Tears turned back to Misaka with an embarrassed smile, then pulled a handful of envelopes from his pocket and said in a lavish tone:

"Hi! This is for Misaka-senpai."

Although Railgun doesn't care much, he won't refuse a friend's kindness.

"Thanks……"

After reaching out to take the envelopes, Misaka suddenly snapped back to reality and pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

"Keeping it a secret won't do; we have to return it properly."

Tears-Kids let out a hearty laugh and said, "As expected of you, Senior."

"I'll contact Chuchun later."

Misaka's gaze lingered on the envelope in Rui's hand, and she asked thoughtfully, "Let's not talk about that, Saten-san. Have you heard any rumors about the person who put the cash card there?"

"This one……"

Tears-stained Grandpa rested his chin on his hand, his eyes darting around as he carefully recalled the events.

"I haven't heard any information about this part."

Misaka hummed in agreement. The two lived in different places, and soon said goodbye to each other and went home.

"Then I'll be going now, Misaka-senpai. Let Uiharu join next time too."

"That's right."

Misaka smiled helplessly and waved to Rui-sama.

Goodbye.

"Goodbye."

When Saten's figure disappeared from sight in the sunset, Misaka sighed deeply again and raised her eyebrows with a hint of helplessness.

"And just like that, a whole day was wasted. What was I doing...?"

While saying such discouraging things, he turned around and took the steps of a walking corpse.

Then, in another alley, in this alley that seemed like the turning wheel of fate, Misaka heard a voice as she passed by.

"Really! I went into a dark alley in Zone E to pee, and I saw a man leave this envelope, so I followed him."

Misaka had only glanced over there subconsciously, but her gaze automatically and precisely landed on the envelope in the hand of the delinquent with the afro.

The envelopes were exactly the same as the ones they had found today, and more importantly, he heard the information he wanted from the female thug.

"and then?"
