Chapter 308

A certain scientific Railgun.

Eh——!!

In the dormitory of Tokiwadai Middle School, Bai Jing Heizi sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, twirling the ends of her brown twin tails with her fingers; she had been idly watching the sky, but was startled by Ai Si Da's sudden disappearance.

"Big Sis~" she drawled, leaning over and falling toward Yu Ban Mei Qin, "I'm so scared——"

"Hey! Don't just suddenly come over!" Yu Ban Mei Qin sat cross-legged on the carpet drinking canned coffee; she got bumped and almost choked. She disparagingly pressed her hand against Heizi's forehead and pushed her away, "Sit properly and talk!"

"The space station's flames can't reach you anyway, and 【Space Move】… isn't something you should be afraid of, right?"

Heizi pouted, but still obediently moved back to her original spot, though her fingers kept tapping her knee restlessly: "Big Sis, I'm afraid of that flame demon… can that flame move all attached objects to his side?"

In Tokiwadai Middle School, she was the only one with the Space Move ability, but her ability wasn't simply "Space Move"; rather, through calculation she expanded three-dimensional space coordinates to eleven dimensions, found the "fold point" between current and target space to achieve movement, and each movement's limit is 81.5 meters.

She still wasn't clear whether the blue flame had a distance limit for Space Move……if not, that would be completely abnormal.

"Since Mr. Laatio said it's a degraded 【Space Transfer】, there must be a distance limit." Yu Ban Mei Qin raised her head and gulped a mouthful of coffee, "If we can guarantee Miss Ai Si Da's safety, then this disappearance is actually a good thing for her."

"Eh? Why is that?"

Mei Qin casually tossed the empty can into the trash bin: "Obviously——the rumors at the space station all think 'disappearance' is a tactic used by management to eliminate dissent, but if the disappearance happens to Ai Si Da, the 'highest administrator,' the rumors naturally collapse."

""Calm. Ai Si Da was just teleported away, with no danger to life.""

""Luo Si Gu Mu is completely calm: 'Through actual contact, I confirmed that A Fu Li Te's flame is merely a spark of primitive spirit fire, lacking phase-shift capability. Logic: Ai Si Da is still inside the space station.'"

Just as his words fell, a chilling low laugh suddenly echoed in midair.

""Hehe, just a spark? The arrogance of a genius actually makes me feel kindred.' The voice said intriguingly, 'If you can do it, come try.'"

"Laatio said lightly: 'It seems the Netherfire Grand Duke didn't personally come to the space station; he just took advantage of the chaos to throw a clump of netherfire here, letting it wander around and hunt staff. If the netherfire goes out, his plot will also come to nothing.'"

"Luo Si Gu Mu said he would go to the Black Tower Office to cut off the other's transfer route, while Laatio would go together with Xing to contain it."

After the division of labor, the two set out immediately, and as expected, they blocked that small flame in the space station; although it tried to escape through several transfers, it was ultimately completely blocked by the two.

"Before being caught, the flame stubbornly muttered: 'Ignorant fools blindly chase the flame, unaware that the gift of destruction has already fallen at their feet.'"

"No wonder the benefactor's legion personally came and still couldn't purify this place; thus I will tentatively admit my rashness. But next time, I will personally visit and offer netherfire as a mournful tribute for your sins."

"Hahahaha——"

In the Netherfire Grand Duke's arrogant laughter, that clump of flame suddenly shot upward, transforming into several passages; the legion's Void Soldiers sprang out from them, instantly forming a sizable force.

"Tsk… wasting time with this boring trick, enough already."

At some point, Laatio's fingertip had gained a snow-white chalk; he coldly lifted his gaze, flicked his wrist, and the chalk, cracking through the air, turned into a piercing white beam that instantly shattered a Void Soldier into pieces.

"So-called '【Thugs Descending from Flames】', is that all? It seems the Primitive Doctor was right.' Laatio sternly rebuked: 'Zero points! Next!'"

Black Robe Riot Squad

Inside the Vought Building, Zu Guoren narrowed his eyes, the red light of his heat vision carefully focusing on the bottom of the milk bottle. He had to precisely keep the breast milk's temperature around 37 degrees—that would give the smoothest mouthfeel.

"Zero points! Next!"

Suddenly, a sharp rebuke in the sky accompanied by a violent explosion not only made his hand holding the milk bottle jerk violently, but the suddenly surging beam of light, like an untamed wild horse, cleanly sliced his $20,000 refrigerator in half.

"Fuckinghell!"

Zu Guoren wiped the breast milk off his face, angrily gazing at the sky—only to see that a horde of Void Soldiers had appeared out of nowhere on the screen, while Laatio calmly threw his chalk at them—after repeatedly using his super vision to stare up and down several times, confirming there were no technological modifications to the chalk in his hand, yet each throw triggered a violent explosion in the sky.

"How the hell is this possible…" Zu Guoren muttered, brows furrowed, "Wait… he isn't a teacher, is he?!"

Those Void Soldiers' armor is tougher than his mother's armored vehicle; even his heat vision might not pierce it—how the hell does this guy smash such an effect with chalk?!

Just then, the door suddenly knocked, and Ai Shi Li came in wearing high heels, her face wearing a fawning smile.

"Sir, I've found another perfect Pure Beauty Knight candidate; I've already given him plastic surgery, and he's extremely loyal to you—what do you think of his abilities?"

"Pure Beauty Knight?" Zu Guoren snapped around, a flash of cruelty in his blue eyes, "Have you been fucked in the head?! Who the hell still cares about Pure Beauty Knights nowadays?!"

He grabbed Ai Shili by the back of her collar, lifted her like a chick, twisted her neck, and forced her to look at the sky: "Look at this! Doctor Truth! This is what fans want to see now! Cold, tough! I want someone like this!"

Ai Shili was stunned by the sudden change and anger: "But... sir, I understand your idea, but Doctor Truth's style might not suit our Super Seven Team's vibe..."

"Are you refuting me?"

The air suddenly fell silent.

Ai Shili's face instantly turned liver-colored, fear twisting her whole face; only her throat could manage to sputter: "I, I mean... you're right, you're always right! Doctor Truth is indeed perfect... fans will surely like it, you, you always catch the trend first..."

Zuguo Ren stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly let go. Ai Shili fell to the ground, gasping desperately.

"Get out." He said coldly: "In three days I need to see results—at least three candidates of the Doctor Truth type, or you know the consequences."
