Chapter 877: Conditions and Chips
After being silent for a moment, Su Xiao continued:
— In Academy City, there is a Level 0 person named Tsuchimikado Motoharu. If I can find it, I can get the information I need. He's the target of my coming to Academy City.
Su Xiao revealed the real information.
He wanted to present himself as part of a certain faction, and a strong one at that. As for alchemy, he needed to reveal it completely by accident. Perhaps it could save his life in the future.
As for the grimoire, he didn't know anything about it and in case it turned out to be dangerous, he would allow Alistair to destroy it. At least that was his legend.
After saying all this, Su Xiao waited for Alistair's response.
— Where are you from? Alistair asked a very tricky question. A wrong answer could lead to the breakdown of negotiations.
— From the organization for the elimination and research of magical and strange creatures. You can think of this organization as a family of magical creature hunters, " as Su Xiao spoke, the energy of Qing Gang Yin appeared on his palms. — My power is neither magic nor science. It comes from my heritage.
Su Xiao was sure that Alistair could sense the special nature of Qing Gang Yin's energy, the energy that was aimed at mages. It was because of Qing Gang Yin's energy that Su Xiao decided to contact Alistair, a man who hated magic and mages.
— Is it so? Your words need to be tested, but the power you possess can really be called the natural enemy of all magicians.
Alistair's attitude was still unclear.
After realizing this, Su Xiao decided to use his trump card. — As a thank you for being allowed to search for the grimoire in these lands, I can help in return. I won't even need to tell you the reason. All I need is time, space, and information about the target. I'll eliminate anyone until I find the grimoire.
If Alistair had been hesitant earlier, now Su Xiao's words made him feel excited.
He could get a man who was strong enough and ruthless enough for a while. A man who didn't ask for goals or reasons, a man who was willing to kill anyone. Wasn't such a person the perfect subordinate? Moreover, he was stronger than 99% of his people, but even though there was this 1%, he couldn't give these people orders directly.
He will not need to be shy in his expressions and will not need to make excuses. Only the purpose and location mattered.
However, Su Xiao's suggestion was so good that it might seem suspicious to anyone, which was why he had shown his irritable and suspicious side earlier.
And Alistair should have discovered the flaws in Su Xiao.
— You're very sincere. In that case, you're temporarily allowed to move around Academy City. In return, you will have to do something for me.
As soon as Alistair finished speaking, notifications appeared in front of Su Xiao.
[Hunter joins Science Camp: Academy City.]
[As the Hunter joined the science camp, the faction shop became available.]
[The location of the faction store is currently in question, and the Hunter needs to find it on their own..]
[Reminder: By completing a request from Alistair, the leader of the Science camp, the Hunter will be able to earn Faction points.]
[Reminder: Motoharu needs to have enough Faction Points to establish good contact with Tsuchimikado.]
Seeing these notifications, Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. He made the right choice. Joining the science faction has not only made his future movements safer and easier, but it will also help him establish contact with the double agent..
— Before you meet Tsuchimikado Motoharu, there are some things you need to do. Also, remember that Tsuchimikado Motoharu is my important chess piece.
The meaning of Alistair's words was very clear. He could meet Tsuchimikado Motoharu, but he couldn't touch him.
The huge room fell silent. Bubtney, who was sitting next to Su Xiao, was carefully looking at the various metal pipes in the room, and his teeth had been itching for a long time.
Su Xiao stepped on Bubtny's front paw, causing his eyes to immediately clearly want to shout, " Master, don't worry, I'm just looking, Bubtny isn't that stupid!»
Awaki Musujime carried Su Xiao out of the building after a while.
Feeling the night wind blowing, Su Xiao took a deep breath. Although it didn't achieve the desired effect, its goal was accomplished.
— In other words, from now on we will be partners?! Awaki Musujime asked loudly after receiving the message. She didn't want to be Su Xiao's partner. "I see... What's the assignment?
Before Su Xiao met Tsuchimikado Motoharu, there was something he needed to do for Alistair.
— This?.. Awaki Musujime was a little confused.
*U-i-I-i-i~*
Suddenly, there was a sharp, unpleasant sound, and a moment later, a black car stopped next to Su Xiao. Opening the door, a man in a white windbreaker with yellow hair and a tattoo on one side of his face, closer to the eye, came out.
— They? Well, most likely, " the man said, looking at Su Xiao and Awaki Musujime.
Sensing his gaze on her, Awaki Musujime turned her head away. She obviously didn't like the man very much.
Su Xiao knew who this guy was. He is Kihara Amata, the leader of Hound Dog and Alistair's loyal subordinate. He had a violent temper, but he was a genius who had brought Accelerator to the peak of his strength. Accelerator's ability was brought to its peak precisely because of its training methods.
— Here's all the information you need. As for what exactly you do with it, it's up to you, " Amata said and tossed the folder to Su Xiao.
When he caught it, he glanced inside the car instead of looking at the paperwork.
A girl with brown hair and glasses was sitting in the backseat of the car. When Su Xiao saw her, he remembered that she was another level five esper, and her name was Mikoto Misaka.
Of course, it wasn't really her, but a clone of her.
Amata handed over the papers, said nothing, got into the car and drove away.
Looking at the car that was leaving, Su Xiao thought about it.
Opening the folder, he saw a very simple piece of information regarding a girl with a very unusual personality.
Her name was Index, and that was it.
The only thing that was written about her was that Index ran away to Academy City and then ran into a young man, Kamijou Touma, and they eventually met and became friends.
Kamijou Touma is one of the main characters in the original story, but whether he was the main character in this world was yet to be determined.
After that, a mage entered Academy City and attacked Kamijou Touma. Although he was a level 0 esper, he had an ability called "Illusion Breaker". Any power that his right hand came into contact with, whether it was magic or superpowers, fluttered.
In the end, Kamijou Touma defeated the mage with his superpower, but he had a companion, and Kamijou Touma would not be able to deal with that companion anymore.
According to the information provided, Kamijou Touma will have to meet with him tonight.
Su Xiao's task was to kill this mage.
— You really decided to use me as an assassin, well, let's go, girl with the bandages on her chest, " Su Xiao said as he walked towards the alley.
Hearing this, the corners of Musujime's mouth twitched. — I just don't want them to stop me from fighting!" They get in the way when running. If they didn't look so ugly after being removed, I would have removed them long ago, " Awaki Musujime said and followed him.
Although her teeth were about to be pulverized by anger, there was nothing she could do about it.
