How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

At the scene, Ruri Gokou spread her white wings, while the thugs on the ground were rolling around, some even losing control of their bladders. The sight...

"...If I said he was the one who struck first, would you believe me?"

-

Chapter 261 I hope he's alright

Ruri Gokou and the disciplinary committee member who suddenly appeared at the scene stared at each other quietly. The rabid screams were so clear and bright. As darkness fell, the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings could be clearly heard.

As a bright source of light on the ground, Gokou Ruri, with her pair of white wings, was even surrounded by mosquitoes for a short period of time.

"..."

Ruri Gokou frowned, her white wings, which were unbearably hot in the summer, scattered. However, once a swarm of mosquitoes gathered, there was no way to escape them. She was still surrounded by mosquitoes, with black shadows constantly flashing in her vision, a constant buzzing in her ears, and even the occasional feeling of mosquitoes landing on her skin. It seemed that, without her noticing, the swarm of mosquitoes had already begun to flow with her blood.

Stop! It bleeds the same blood as you!

"They really started it. I was just trying to be a hero and teach them a lesson. Who knew this guy would have such a low tolerance and would lose control of his bladder!"

Ruri Gokou stirred. Unable to bear the swarm of mosquitoes, her superpower activated, radiating a glass-like light from her body. Her restless hands and feet struggled to drive away the mosquitoes.

Ding!

At that moment, a steel needle suddenly appeared on Gokou Ruri's sleeve. Before anyone could see its trajectory, it suddenly pierced her sleeve. The touch on her skin still carried warmth, indicating that it was something that had been close to her body just moments before!

The disciplinary committee member said, "Regardless of the situation, please do not put up any futile resistance. Please come with me. We will notify your school as needed..."

Without saying a word, Gokou Ruri turned around and tried her best to increase her speed to run away!

She comes from another world; she's practically an unregistered resident, not just in Academy City, but even in this world. Given Aleister's twisted sense of humor, while he helped her develop her superpowers, he certainly wasn't kind enough to register her in Academy City. In other words, being taken to the Disciplinary Committee would only worsen the situation, offering no real solution!

Not running away will only make things worse. Good luck, Ruri! You are the Fallen Saint Black Cat of Chiba, don't get caught by a mere disciplinary committee member!

"Hey..."

The disciplinary committee member behind her sighed. This girl was running even slower than the average girl, yet she was putting on a show of genuinely giving it her all. The disciplinary committee member didn't know if this girl was joking or physically inept: "I'll repeat myself again, please don't put up any futile resistance!"

Ruri trembled as a sense of crisis struck and alarm bells rang. She immediately changed her running posture and rolled on the spot, just managing to dodge the two feet that suddenly appeared in front of her and kicked out!

When the disciplinary committee member's attack failed, he glanced at Gokou Ruri's location and immediately disappeared, causing Gokou Ruri's pupils to shrink slightly.

Someone with spatial abilities!

Speaking of the character in the story who is both a disciplinary committee member and a space ability user, the identity of the person chasing after her is obvious!

"Rumor has it that being arrested by the Disciplinary Committee means the end of your life, and that a ruthless spatial ability user will come to torture you until you break down, both physically and mentally... the Railgun's mount!"

"Who are you talking about again?"

A whooshing sound came from behind her ears, and Gokou Ruri smiled; "I guessed it!"

Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat gracefully flipped himself up, dodging the sneak attack of the evil disciplinary committee member. He countered and pinned him down, saying coolly: "Hmph, spatial ability calculations are very precise and require a high degree of concentration, right? Now, it's equivalent to sealing your ability. I win!"

Well, all of the above were just fantasies that Ruri Gokou made up in her head in a flash.

"Alas?"

In reality, before Gokou Ruri could even get halfway through her move, she was easily knocked to the ground by Shirai Kuroko, the mount of the Railgun. Her arms and legs flailed wildly in an attempt to make the expected tackle and counterattack, but she was like a crab pinned to the ground, and no matter how she moved her hands and feet, it was all in vain.

"You're not, you're not, completely hopeless at sports, are you?" "..."

Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat, silent.

"Well, anyway, there's no point in resisting like this anymore. I won't let you enter the Discipline Inspection Committee branch unscathed later..."

Shirai Kuroko pulled several steel needles from under her skirt and pressed them against Gokou Ruri's face. The still-warm needles made Gokou Ruri feel extremely ashamed: "If you don't cooperate, I'll insert these into your body next~"

Ding, ding, ding...

Several steel needles disappeared from Shirai Kuroko's hand, directly outlining Gokou Ruri's body and fixing her clothes to the ground, rendering her completely immobile.

This is just in case.

If it were just Ruri Gokou alone, it would be fine; Kuroko Shirai could simply use spatial teleportation to send her back. However, there was more than one suspect at the scene; there was also someone who might be a victim, and the Disciplinary Committee couldn't ignore it.

Even if that person dresses in a sleazy way and doesn't look like a respectable person.

Therefore, in order to prevent the suspect, Ruri Gokou, from escaping, we naturally need to find a way to control her first. The abilities of those with superpowers are varied and unpredictable, so we must be on guard.

"Honestly, I should have been having dinner with my sister by now... Well then, is this gentleman rolling on the floor feeling any better now—"

Just as Shirai Kuroko was about to turn and leave, she felt her sock being tugged.

He frowned in displeasure. Having worked as a disciplinary committee member for so long, this was the first time he had ever been threatened by a Level 4 spatial ability user and not taken it seriously, wanting to continue to resist.

"That's why I told you not to put up a futile resistance!"

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Instinctively, Shirai Kuroko turned her gaze to Gokou Ruri. Her once-neat black Gothic Lolita outfit was now tattered, the edges riddled with burn marks of varying sizes. She stood with her hands outstretched beside her temples, palms facing Shirai Kuroko, her resolute eyes fixed on her.

"Hah! Solar Fist!"

Skill 3! A violent flash occurs!

Before Shirai Kuroko could react, she was instantly blinded by the exploding flashbang. She immediately heard Gokou Ruri's running footsteps and instinctively cried out, "Don't run! This time, we're really going to put the steel needle in your body!"

Upon hearing this, Gokou Ruri paused in her tracks!

She had just been easily knocked to the ground, looking like a crab pinned to the ground, and was forced to sacrifice this outfit that she was always used to. The thought of it made her furious!

Although I'm furious, I still have to maintain my elegance!

Taking a step back opens up vast opportunities, while taking a step forward only breeds more anger.

"...I will punish you for offending me!!"

He pressed his hand down hard on Shirai Kuroko's body, and a blazing white light spilled out from between his fingers. In an instant, it spread rapidly across Shirai Kuroko's body. The sudden increase in temperature killed or injured most of the mosquitoes that were swarming around her. A foul smell of heated rubber quickly spread, which was practically toxic pollution!

Fortunately, Ruri Gokou didn't intend to kill him, and she was only a Level 3 esper, so her superpower wasn't very strong. The blazing white light enveloped Shirai Kuroko for only a moment before it disappeared!

With a thud, a charred block, emitting a strong plastic odor, fell to the ground.

"Ah this..."

Ruri Gokou stared at her masterpiece with twitching eyelids, utterly speechless.

"Should we... run away first?"

At least the person is unharmed, only suffering minor burns to the area that came into contact with the skin!

Chapter 262 This is Kuroko!

Discipline Inspection Committee Member Activities, Branch 177.

It was already close to dusk, and there weren't many students left. The only two people in the small room, and even one of them was a classmate who had just come to visit a friend, were bored out of their minds in the empty space.

"Hey, early spring, early spring, have you heard about it lately?"

Saten Ruiko, a first-year student at Sakugawa Middle School, is not a member of the Disciplinary Committee but often appears at the Disciplinary Committee Branch 177. She is lying upside down on the sofa with her hair hanging down to the ground, just like you guys when you're bored at home.

Saten Ruiko shook her head, looked at Uiharu Kazari who was busy in front of the computer and ignoring her, and continued:

"A chat room installed inside the brain."

“Saten-kun.”

Uiharu Shiori wasn't particularly interested in the topic, but she still earnestly explained to her visiting classmate: "Even if Academy City is at the forefront of the world in brain development, it's still impossible to use the human brain as a server to install software. What you're talking about is very likely just a joke played by some kind of mental ability user."

"Hey, don't you think it's cool and convenient to have a chat room installed in your brain?"

Saten Ruiko casually grabbed a book from the table and started reading it upside down: "Installed in my brain, I can chat with people online anytime without needing any other electronic devices, and maybe it'll even pop into my head when I have any cheesy thoughts in early spring~"

"Saten-san!!"

The temperature-controlled Grim Reaper suddenly pouted like an inflated pufferfish. In her business mode, she wasn't interested in urban legends: "Besides, 'a chat room installed in the brain' is still too outrageous. If it were really possible, wouldn't that mean human memories could be modified at will?"

Okay, okay, I was just kidding~

"But I heard that the 'man who can nullify all abilities' is a member of the 'Brain Chat Room,' so maybe it's not a joke made by a mental ability user~"

"A man who can nullify all abilities—that makes a lot more sense..."

After thinking for a moment, Shiori Haru unknowingly exited the disciplinary committee's operating mode. The interface on her computer also unknowingly spun to the website page of urban legends, where "Chat group installed in the brain" and "Man who can nullify all abilities" were highlighted in bold red at the top.

The testimonies of all those claiming to be members of the chat room in these two related topics don't even match up. The man with ineffective abilities doesn't even have a proper description, yet he's widely believed to be real. Furthermore, later posts even standardized the descriptions of the chat room and included the characteristics of the man with ineffective abilities.

For example, there are several chat room members whose IDs seem to be online for long periods of time without needing to sleep, such as "Cousu", "Sunflower", and "High School Student". There are also claims that the previously popular "Elf from Another World" is one of them. The man who can nullify abilities is the "High School Student" in the chat room. He has a hedgehog hairstyle and is an idiot, etc. It's all very orderly, as if a rumor has become a fact as it's spread.

Shiori Haru shook her head. These urban legends were best left unsaid. Having learned the general idea, she prepared to leave the website and return to her dormitory once her senior, who was away on a mission, returned.

"Alas?"

Just then, one of the urban legends caught Haru Shiori's attention.

"Legend has it that angels can be seen in a certain research institute, and Academy City may be researching angels."

Angel?

The appearance of such religiously charged terms on the Academy City website greatly surprised Katsuri Uiharu. As everyone knows, Academy City is the world's largest scientific research base, gathering the world's most elite researchers and leading the world in technology by over a decade. In this city that reveres science, the fact that someone would believe in angels and think Academy City was researching such things was quite unexpected for Katsuri, and she clicked on the topic without hesitation.

This topic itself is not popular. Compared to the two pinned topics, it can be said to be so obscure that there are hardly any active participants. After all, it is Academy City, where there are still many normal people. It is quite normal that things with religious overtones are not popular.

Chu Chun Shiri nodded, and upon closer inspection, she discovered that there was only one post under this topic, which, when clicked, turned into a single photo.

This photo appears to have been taken secretly; the angle is odd, the clarity is poor, and the lens is even mostly blocked by a large dark shadow. You can only clearly see that it's a person... and a dog?

A dog with a cigar in its mouth!?

And this dog seems to be the head of the research institute...

"Hey, what are you looking at? Let me see too!"

Having not seen Chuchun for a long time, Wu Zuotian quickly came over and, seeing that Chuchun wasn't working, immediately joined in.

Moreover, the website's name also greatly intrigued Saten Ruiko:

"Urban legends like 'the woman who suddenly takes off her clothes,' 'the Imagineering ability that enhances your powers,' and 'the sunflower field in the dormitory'... they're all quite interesting things, early spring!"

knock knock!

A knock came from the 177th branch of the Discipline Inspection Commission, startling the two people in front of their computers. Their hearts immediately tightened, though they didn't know why they were afraid. It was probably like reading a horror novel late at night, where any slight movement would make them subconsciously think there was a ghost.

Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari exchanged a glance, and both of them saw a strange sense of fear in each other's eyes.

"Phew, people who come to the disciplinary committee are definitely seeking help. They wouldn't turn a doll into a bomb and give it to the disciplinary committee, would they..."

knock knock!

The knocking sounded again, completely extinguishing the courage that Shiori had finally mustered.

"sorry for disturbance."

After knocking twice on the group chat with no response, (the doorknob flashed with a few electric lights) and Misaka Mikoto entered. She immediately saw the two people sitting in front of the computer, their breathing halting: "Excuse me, do you know where Kuroko, Shirai Kuroko, is right now?"

"Hey, the young lady of Tokiwadai!? Someone Shirai-senpai knows...?"

Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto looked at Uiharu Kazari, who happened to be looking at Misaka Mikoto as well. Their eyes met, and Uiharu Kazari immediately became dignified, her emotions tense, and she completely forgot about Misaka Mikoto's question.

"Wait, wait a minute! It'll be ready soon!"

Then, suddenly realizing what the other party had asked, Shirai Shirai hurriedly picked up the microphone to try to contact Kuroko, but without exception, there was no response after several attempts. It was as if Shirai Kuroko had disappeared and completely lost contact with the 177th branch!

"A naked, lewd woman moving swiftly through the streets and alleys at dusk."

At that very moment, a strange urban legend appeared on the refreshed page of the urban legend website.

"It's Kuroko!!"

Misaka Mikoto rushed over immediately!

Chapter 263 "Sunflower"

"A naked, lewd woman moving swiftly through the streets and alleys at dusk."

Upon clicking, a very blurry video appears, with poor resolution and some shakiness. All you can see is a tall, seemingly naked girl wearing only a coat draped over her shoulders, appearing suddenly while holding someone's hand, and then suddenly disappearing from the frame.

Because the footage was too blurry, it was impossible to tell whether the woman in the video was actually wearing clothes or not. However, the flesh-colored body in the video was indeed very suspicious, as was the outline of the man whose hand was being held!

"This couldn't possibly be Shirai-senpai's!"

Uiharu Kazari stated definitively, "While Shirai-senpai is absolutely perfect as the young lady of Tokiwadai, but... but Shirai-senpai's figure..."
