Chapter 938

"Have all the demolition crew boarded the bus?"

"They've all boarded, but Chief, why are we suddenly being ordered to withdraw from above?"

"Don't ask too many questions. This is the Big Boss's arrangement."

The Zeni'er Demolition Company staff boarded the bus and drove away from the Ghost Town district.

On the ground, a manhole cover was pushed up, and a Mud Monster watched the bus leave, then muttered to itself: "The guys on the surface suddenly left. I have to go report to Lord Giant Eye."

In the sky, a reconnaissance drone flew at high altitude.

"Now, begin searching the interior of the Ghost Town district to confirm whether there is any activity by ordinary people."

Having already arrived at the outskirts of the Ghost Town district, the Hero Association's Action Division Chief directly conducted on-site command.

"Are there really still ordinary people living in this place?"

"Ordinary people perhaps wouldn't, but some homeless vagrants could very well be living in this godforsaken place."

Saitama, who had also returned to Z-City, listened to the dialogue of the two staff members hunched over their computers, using a scouting drone to probe for living things in the Ghost Town district, and originally wanted to say that he had previously lived inside, but the words got stuck right in his throat.

"Sensei Saitama, I've already brought your luggage over to the new home."

Before the Hero Association arrived, Genos had helped Saitama move his things out of his old rented room.

Because regardless of whether the hostages were rescued smoothly or not, today's armed conflict between the Hero Association and the Monster Association was unavoidable.

And since both sides possessed individuals with combat power equivalent to Dragon-level threats, no one knew if the buildings in the Ghost Town district could remain intact once the great war began.

"Genos, thanks for the trouble."

Saitama thanked this disciple of his.

"When I came back, I saw the Hero Association people had already completely sealed off all surface passages from Z-City leading to the Ghost Town district."

"The Hero Association's operational efficiency sure is fast, but doing it this way, won't it alert the enemy?"

Saitama asked somewhat strangely.

"Alerting the enemy is definite, but this is also part of the rescue plan."

Fubuki walked over and said.

"What do you mean?"

Saitama looked at her, somewhat confused.

"Things having come to this, there's no need for us to hide it from you all anymore. Actually, the meeting we convened with the S-Class heroes last night was just a surface plan."

"What, you don't plan to rescue the hostages anymore?"

"No no no, the hostages still need to be rescued, it's just that the time for the infiltration rescue has undergone a slight change."

"But why would you do that?"

Genos frowned and asked.

"That is naturally to transmit false information to the Monster Association."

A man with a gold slicked-back hairstyle, one of the examiners for the 55th Hero Association Rookie Exam who had previously been in charge of Saitama, Broly, and the three of them, Kinzinger, walked over, pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge, and answered this question.

"False information?"

"That's right. The Hero Association already knew beforehand that we should have spies from the Monster Association inside, manipulated by that esper monster's mental power.

After the rescue meeting ended last night, we deliberately leaked news of the rescue operation to the inside; presumably the Monster Association already received this news last night."

"But, deliberately leaking this news to the other side, what meaning does that have?"

Saitama still didn't understand what the Hero Association's maneuver was for.

"Mr. Saitama, if you knew in advance that someone would infiltrate your home tonight to steal things, what would you do?"

"I wouldn't sleep at night, wait for that thief to show up, and catch them."

Saitama replied as a matter of course.

"Exactly. Then, to guarantee you have energy at night, what would you do during the day?"

"That would naturally be to conserve one's strength————!?"

Speaking to this point, Saitama suddenly realized the truth.

"The stratagem is not bad, but why hide it from us?"

On the side, Metal Bat frowned and asked.

"We had no intention of hiding it from you all, but to deceive the enemy with a plan, you must first deceive your own people. Within the Hero Association, only an extremely small number of people know the true plan contents.

Even Mr. Broly and Mr. Fless, who are executing the infiltration rescue mission, only learned the true execution time of the rescue plan five minutes ago."

"So, they've already infiltrated the Monster Association now?"

"That's right. Taking advantage of the Monster Association receiving false intel, our current action of blockading the Ghost Town district makes them confirm the authenticity of this intel, during this daytime when we let the monsters conserve their strength."

"When the time comes, if the plan executes successfully, and the hostages are rescued without the Monster Association discovering it, we will have Metal Knight and Mr. Broly use high-firepower saturation attacks to directly destroy the Monster Association.

But if they are discovered midway, we will need you all to cover Mr. Broly and the other two rescuing the hostages, and withstand the Monster Association's counterattack momentum————"

【If hostages didn't need rescuing, Broly alone could probably punch straight through that so-called Monster Association————】

Saitama thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Giant Eye, also underground, received some surface information reported by monsters.

"You want us to go up to the surface now and kill all those guys?"

"No need. For now, you all rest well. Wait until tonight when the Hero Association sends people to infiltrate; we'll eat the heroes they sent to infiltrate first."

"Hmph, you're really cautious enough. Originally, with my power as one blessed with Divine Grace, it's enough to destroy all those who disrespect the gods."

【Homeless Emperor, a guy who received Divine Grace and obtained power bestowed by a certain supreme existence, yet just a few months ago this person was still an ordinary vagrant. Who knows why that existence valued him and bestowed such power upon such a person————】

Although Giant Eye looked down on Homeless Emperor somewhat, his surface expression didn't reveal it: "This is also for the better execution of our plan."

In the ears of other monsters, this is a plan to eliminate heroes and let monsters rule the world, but in Homeless Emperor's ears, he understood the deeper meaning of Giant Eye's words.

On the beanbag chair, that chubby pink strange creature, also the supreme Lord's chosen agent.

However, I gained the power bestowed by the supreme existence, while Giant Eye this guy did not; strictly speaking, I am the future God's Holy Son, while he is merely a servant.

"Fine then, I'll go sleep first; when the Hero Association people invade, have someone come notify me."

Giant Eye watched Homeless Emperor's departing back, didn't say anything, just pointed a finger at Pochi and said: "However, just in case, Pochi you go watch the hostage prison front door."

Hearing this, Pochi the big black dog mutated from a canine creature, went "hmm hmm" with his mouth, seemingly expressing dissatisfaction at Giant Eye making him go watch the door.

"Afterwards I'll reward you a basket of meat bones."

However, Giant Eye's next sentence made this big black dog possessing Dragon-level strength wag the tail behind his butt, and even let out a "woof."

"Good dog, good dog, hurry up and go do your job.

97

After sending off Pochi, Giant Eye also closed his eyes to rest his spirit.

【Tonight, should be the duel with the Hero Association; at that time, Fubuki's older sister, that strongest esper Tatsumaki, will definitely also be present; I must maintain peak mental state————】

Deeper underground than where the Monster Association resides, in a concealed room, a woman with a voluptuous figure also rose from the sofa, went to the bedside, lay down and entered hibernation.

Of course, she still maintained a thread of mental power, connecting through segment after segment of mental power nodes to Giant Eye above who appeared to be resting with eyes closed.

And at this moment, Broly, Fless, and Child Emperor, the three of them, had also already infiltrated into the Monster Association's underground lair via the underground sewers.

"Mr. Broly, are you sure you really understand the meaning of infiltration?"

"Of course."

"Good, then can you explain to me what infiltration is?"

"So-called infiltration means secretly entering a place that isn't your territory, then not being discovered by the original owner; Child Emperor, you say am I right or not?"

"Right is right, but this whole way you've had zero intention of concealing your figure; does this count as infiltration?"

"You just say, the original owner here, have they discovered us or not?"

Child Emperor opened his mouth, looked back at the entrance behind them and discovered two monster corpses whose traces were found but silently eliminated by Flashy Flash using unknown means; for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Flashy Flash's understanding of infiltration actually has no flaw; it's just his concrete execution of the infiltration behavior makes one have an old complaint stuck in the throat unable to spit or swallow: 【Whose infiltration is openly, with Unmatched active, walking in through the main gate?!】

Time push slightly forward, push to just when they infiltrated; due to having Ki Sense ability, Broly was arranged by Child Emperor to walk in front and help open the way.

Result was great: Broly didn't walk sneakily, but with dragon's stride and tiger's steps, leading the charge; any monsters encountered along the way, just met face-to-face, didn't even make a sound, directly killed in seconds.

This made Child Emperor, who planned everything, stayed up two nights, prepared a backpack of scouting robots, feel like these days' effort was wasted.

"Anyway, being able to enter here undiscovered is good; let's still think about how to quickly search for the place where the Monster Association imprisons hostages."

Flashy Fless had no opinion on Broly's Unmatched-style infiltration method; just the Monster Association's underground headquarters is very large, the deeper they go the more fork-in-the-roads they encounter; he somewhat doubts that before finding the hostages, the three of them might get lost inside the Monster Association headquarters.

"Mr. Broly, don't just kill monsters on sight; see if you can, without the Monster Association discovering, capture some monsters here alive, force them to tell about the place where hostages are imprisoned here."

Child Emperor actually recorded the fork-in-the-roads the three of them passed; just exhaustive search method's efficiency is still too low; he proposed a requirement to Broly.

"Fine, right ahead in the front room, there are quite a few monsters' auras."

Broly nodded, pointed at an exquisite redwood door ahead and said.

"How many monsters inside?"

Arriving at the redwood door, Flashy Fless lowered his voice to ask.

"About fifty or sixty."

Broly can sense Qi, but doesn't mean he'll carefully count them one by one.

"Strength how?"

Child Emperor pursued the question.

"Except one with slightly outstanding aura, the rest all have very weak auras."

Of course, to Broly they're all weak; just picking the tall among the short.

"Fine, then when we breach the door and rush in, I'll use speed to solve half the monsters; the remaining half, you two go subdue; don't let them make too much commotion."

Flashy Fless gripped the sword hilt at his waist, looking ready to charge in and go Unmatched the moment the door breaks.

"No need this much trouble; I can solve all of them; you two don't follow."

Broly waved his hand, instructed one sentence, then directly pushed the door and entered.

Fless and Child Emperor, out of trust in him, didn't follow in.

Two people stood at the door; soon they saw the situation inside the room.

Inside the room, all monsters after Broly entered, lay prone on the ground.

Seeing monsters struggling on the ground, clearly they weren't voluntarily lying on the ground.

"This is?"

"Gravity magic; I applied gravity that makes them unable to climb up."

Broly explained one sentence.

"In————truders?!"

Under multiple times gravity, only that guy with slightly stronger aura could barely speak.

", you are monster? Or human?"

Following the voice, Broly saw the speaker's appearance, and couldn't help asking doubtfully.

No wonder he asked this; truly the person speaking on the ground, except ears slightly pointed, looks just like a handsome human male.

"Damn bastard, don't lump my noble life together with ordinary monsters and you humans."

"Oh, then you say, what are you?"

"I am the noble blood race, born monster, different from you humans and those guys who only became monsters postnatally; Vampire Monster words not finished speaking, interrupted by Broly raising hand: "Fine, I know what you are; I want to ask you a question now; don't know if you know where the hostages your Monster Association captured are imprisoned?"

"Damn bastard, unexpectedly not a bit of politeness, deliberately interrupting my words; why would I tell you where hostages are imprisoned?"

"Sorry for interrupting your conversation, it's a bit impolite, but if you don't speak, you will die.

Broly was actually polite this time, and even gave a reminder.

"Hehe, do you think you've won just by pinning me down with something like Psychic Power? No, let me show you the power of the Blood Race. Blood, come to me, strengthen my body————Pfft~"

The blood inside the other Monsters hadn't even been extracted and absorbed yet, when this Vampire Monster was pressed by the suddenly surging Gravity into a flat layer on the ground.

There was no blood splattering everywhere, just the blood spreading across the ground. Even the Monsters still lying prone on the ground at this moment could smell an extremely thick Blood Scent.

"Do you know where the hostages are being held?"

Broly casually pointed at another Monster on the ground and asked, incidentally releasing the Gravity Magic on him so he could speak normally.

"I know, I know, the hostages are right————"

The Monster singled out answered like a Bamboo Tube Pouring Beans, terrified that answering too late would make him follow in the Vampire Monster's footsteps.

"Anyone else, have anything to add to his words?"

After listening, Broly asked the other Monsters.

"The Hedgehog Monster didn't deceive you."

"My lord, in exchange for our honest confession, please don't kill us."

"Alright, as long as you don't leave this room to wind the news before we rescue the hostages."

"No problem."

"My lord, I guarantee no one will go wind the news."

The Monsters in the room agreed to Broly's conditions one by one to save their lives.

"The place where the hostages are held is now known, let's hurry over there."

Broly returned to the Front Door.

"Flashy Flash, you believe these Monsters' words, you really don't plan to solve them?"

Fubuki frowned.

"Well, since I agreed not to kill, I won't kill. As long as they don't leave the room to wind the news before we rescue the hostages."

"What if they go wind the news after we leave?"

"Then those who leave the room to wind the news will die, that I can guarantee."

Fubuki and Child Emperor made Eye Contact, but didn't question it.

Infiltrating all the way here, they had already witnessed the other party's miraculous method of solving Monsters without contact.

The three people directly left here.

"They, left?"

"Definitely left, there's no one Outside."

"Haha, those three guys are really Wells, they actually believe we Monsters would obediently stay in the room and not go out to wind the news!"

These Monsters indeed had no credibility. After confirming Broly and the other two left, they couldn't wait to run out of the room.

In the Monster Association, earning merit has benefits. For example, one can be Bestowed stronger Mutation Power by the Monster King Orochi.

These Monsters all wanted to earn merit and Get Stronger. One by one they rushed out of the room, racing toward the Giant Eye's Location.

【Strange, why do I suddenly feel so Sleepy————】

However, not long after leaving the room, these Monsters collapsed one by one. Their Qi was rapidly sucked away,

Sucked dry. Within seconds of hitting the ground, they lost their vitality.

In the shadows, Shadow Ninjas emerged. They dragged the Corpses back into the room, closed the Door, and the underground corridor became Quiet again, as if nothing had happened.

At the Dungeon Entrance, the giant black dog Pochi, lying prone on the ground with an Over-mutated Body, suddenly lifted its head, sniffing the Air with its Nose.

Then, it looked toward the Corner/Turn's Direction with a Toothache expression————
