A Scientific Urban Detective

It's no exaggeration to say that the black smoke monsters are the result of this experiment, but the problem is that the number of experimental subjects participating in the experiment was limited, and the number of superpower samples that could be provided was limited. In fact, it was impossible to fuse them into a real "ideal ability."

Moreover, the girls participating in the experiment are in a stage of rapid ability growth, and they are improving almost every day; due to the urgency of time, the researchers used outdated ability parameters, which led to their failure to completely strip their AIM diffusion fields—this is the direct cause of the experiment's failure and the AIM diffusion field's runaway.

According to Junzo Kuribayashi's original plan, the experimental subjects participating in the experiment were actually "raw materials," and their superpowers were all consumables prepared for fusing the "ideal ability."

If the experiment was successful, they should have lost their superpowers and fallen into a brain-dead vegetative state, instead of waking up one by one like they are now, and still retaining their superpowers.

At this time, the black smoke monsters wandering around the research institute are essentially "superpower machines" born by being possessed by the AIM diffusion field.

The AIM diffusion field on them is the experimental product of the "ideal ability," which can be regarded as a degraded version of the "ideal ability."

Due to the fusion of a large amount of superpower data collected by Junzo Kuribayashi in advance, coupled with the superpowers of these experimental subjects on site as raw materials, these black smoke monsters actually possess many different types of superpowers.

Therefore, the black smoke monsters naturally also mastered Ruiko Saten's "Dress Break" ability, and because Ruiko Saten is the strongest, "Dress Break" has become the most obvious ability on them.

With the support of massive electrical power as energy, although it is a replica, the strength shown by the black smoke monsters is no less than Ruiko Saten's original version.

In addition to the advantage in numbers, Ruiko Saten alone is simply unable to fight against so many black smoke monsters.

But even so, Ruiko Saten still used her full power and fearlessly singled out all the black smoke monsters in front of her.

This was also the first time she had unleashed "Dress Break" without reservation outside of the training ground.

In addition to bringing her immense power and reaction speed, this great ability also provided a fast self-healing ability close to "instant recovery," allowing her to not worry about being injured during the battle.

With this reckless momentum, Ruiko Saten actually withstood the successive attacks of more than twenty black smoke monsters on her own in a short period of time, creating conditions for Miya Awai and the others to rescue the other children.

As Ryoko Kiyama was also awakened from the experimental pod, all the girls participating in the experiment were safely awakened; under the leadership of Yeri Haruue, they repeatedly maneuvered with the black smoke monsters in the laboratory like playing a game of "chicken chasing"…

Nyuko Yumiya's superpower is Level 3 "Wave Manipulation," which can manipulate various types of "waves," including sound waves and even light waves.

The black smoke monsters are incredibly powerful, and when they move and fight, they inevitably make a lot of noise, which is deafening in a confined space.

Nyuko Yumiya activated her ability, gathering these sound waves into a beam and blasting it towards a black smoke monster.

At the same time, Miya Awai also aimed her phone camera at it and activated her superpower "Mental Stinger."

The two of them worked together to finally make the black smoke monster stagger and fall to the ground.

"Go!" Nyuko Yumiya waved her hand and took the lead to rush towards the gap.

Ruiko Saten stayed at the end of the team to resist the pursuers. Although her fists and feet were still swinging vigorously, she was also approaching her limit.

"Dress Break" also puts a lot of burden on Ruiko Saten, and she cannot last too long under the premise of full activation.

Ruiko Saten knew that the terrifying headache would strike soon. But she was even more aware of the seriousness of the current situation—these black smoke monsters were like herself in a completely runaway state. If she couldn't stop them, Yeri Haruue and her friends would be done for!

"Ugh!!! Just fall already!" Ruiko Saten roared and swung her fist. Only at this time did she truly hate the "Dress Break" ability from the bottom of her heart—it's too troublesome, it can't be defeated at all!

Even so, she still used brute force to knock away the two black smoke monsters in front of her.

Then she glared at the other enemies, panting and trying to intimidate them with her eyes.

—This is bad, my breathing rhythm is messed up…

Ruiko Saten's heart sank. During the activation of her ability, her stamina is endless, and she will not feel tired at all.

However, the superpower "Dress Break" will seriously consume her mental power. Once her mind is worn down to a certain extent, side effects will appear.

That is a severe headache that can drive people crazy!

At that time, let alone continuing to fight, I am afraid that even staying upright without falling will be impossible, right?

Realizing the signs that her mental power was about to collapse, Ruiko Saten became more and more anxious.

She suddenly missed Misaki Shokuhou very much—Misaki Shokuhou has a way to relieve her side effects.

"Hurry up," Nyuko Yumiya paid close attention to Ruiko Saten's condition, "Ruiko is about to not hold on anymore!"

"The exit is just ahead! But…" Yeri Haruue shouted.

During important experiments, the laboratory entrance is completely locked. Unless there is a door access card with the highest authority, no one can open the door.

Moreover, there are still two black smoke monsters guarding near the door.

"Yumiya, you go left, I'll go right!" Miya Awai shouted loudly, while taking out a card from her pocket and stuffing it into Yeri Haruue's hand.

Yeri Haruue looked down and found that it was the door access card that could open the door.

Miya Awai's mission was to lead everyone out of the laboratory in this critical moment, so the first thing she did after infiltrating the laboratory was to master the way to escape.

With her "Mental Stinger," it was not difficult to take the access card from the person in charge.

After this period of fighting, Miya Awai and the others also had some understanding of the characteristics of these "black smoke monsters."

Their biggest advantage is Miya Awai's superpower "Mental Stinger," because she is a member of the "internal evolution" of the third research lab, so her ability parameters are not within the scope of this experiment, and it is impossible for the black smoke monsters to obtain psychological abilities.

After becoming proficient, Miya Awai can already forcibly control a black smoke monster for two to three seconds.

After all, her ability level is still too low. If it were Misaki Shokuhou, she would probably be able to manipulate the black smoke monsters for a long time.

As for Nyuko Yumiya's "Wave Manipulation," it can only play some interference role—because the battle behind her has entered a brief period of stagnation, and there is not much sound wave for her to manipulate.

Bang!!!

Suddenly, a piece of equipment they had just passed by fell down, making a huge noise—it was Ryoko Kiyama who pushed it down forcefully, trying to block the pursuers behind her.

The loud sound came, and Nyuko Yumiya's eyes lit up: "Well done, Sister!"
