[MHCISQD] Chapter 202: Objective, Headquarters
Added 2023-05-22 20:15:19 +0000 UTC"What? It's right at their headquarters?"
The next day, at the Nighteye Agency.
Upon hearing the intelligence from Nighteye, everyone was shocked. One of the Pro Heroes exclaimed, "So all the investigations we conducted earlier were in vain?"
Nighteye shook his head and said, "We can't say they were useless. During the investigation, we also obtained new information."
After saying that, Nighteye took out a beautifully packaged box from under the table. Inside was a toy with a very girlish style.
Seeing the puzzled expressions of everyone, Nighteye explained, "That day, a member of Shie Hassaikai boldly entered a shop and bought a toy specifically meant for little girls."
"?"
"What does that mean?"
Fat Gum said, "But it's also possible that the person just liked it. It's not something strange."
"But," countered Nighteye, "that person said something only a true enthusiast would never get wrong. He even mispronounced the name of the toy series."
"Which means, the person didn't buy it for himself but for someone else. And considering that person is a member of Shie Hassaikai, Sir Nighteye believes it was for the girl?" Renault rubbed his chin and questioned.
Shaking his head, Nighteye continued, "After that person bought the toy, I activated my Quirk and saw some glimpses. I saw that girl right inside the headquarters of Shie Hassaikai, in the underground section. There is an unregistered, extremely large underground space, and from the fragments I saw, the pathways there are incredibly intricate. The member took a direct route, so we don't know what other hidden paths lie there."
Does Nighteye's Foresight ability allow him to determine the location by tracking the member who bought the toy directly?
Indeed, it aligns with his style to only use his Foresight ability in situations where he has complete confidence.
Glancing at the people present, Nighteye decided not to continue explaining, "It's about time. I called you all here early to mobilize immediately. The police force is also ready. Once we gather, we will proceed together to the Shie Hassaikai headquarters."
Morning, 8 o'clock.
The team of heroes, united because of Nighteye, converged with the large police force and arrived outside the headquarters of the Shie Hassaikai.
Compared to the dozen or so heroes, the police force numbered close to a hundred, fully equipped with various anti-explosive shields and bulletproof vests.
The U.A. group gathered together, and Midoriya looked around and asked in confusion, "I don't see Gran Torino. Did he not come?"
Nighteye, who was nearby, overheard and said, "That man couldn't make it."
"Huh?"
A police officer standing beside Nighteye explained, "Tsukauchi discovered traces of the League of Villains, so Gran Torino went to help. Although he couldn't come, we have enough personnel here, so there's no need to worry."
Renault also walked over, patted Midoriya's back, and looked at him, saying, "The training these past few days hasn't been in vain. Have confidence, and after we finish our work here, he'll know about your performance."
"Yes! I'll do my best!"
The team was assembled, and the leading police officer, acting as the head of the police force, addressed the crowd, saying, "Heroes, when you encounter dangerous situations, we won't be able to provide assistance. Even in the face of minor deviations or resistance, do not hesitate, defeat the opponent directly! Our enemies today are not ordinary individuals; they are all elites who have survived until now. Therefore, we mustn't have any laxity whatsoever. Then... let the operation begin!"
Standing in front of the gate of the Shie Hassaikai headquarters, a Japanese-style mansion, the police were about to press the doorbell to announce the search warrant.
Suddenly, Renault sensed a faint vibration coming from the ground and swiftly darted forward.
*BOOM!*
The gate shattered as a tall man with a bird mask and metal-clad gloves swung his fist and charged out.
"These guys really lack manners," Renault said, putting down the person in his hands. "Is everyone alright?"
"I was just saved by you right at the beginning of the operation, what a miscalculation. It seems these guys were already aware and well prepared," the police captain gasped, still trembling with fear. He then shouted, "Arrest them all, no mercy!"
The burly man who had charged out looked at the numerous police and heroes then shouted, "So many people early in the morning, but it's not a big deal!"
After saying that, he continued swinging his fists and charging forward.
Meanwhile, on the heroes' side, Ryukyu stepped forward without hesitation. "Everyone! Step back!"
In the next second, a gigantic flying dragon appeared before the burly man and intercepted his punch.
Ryukyu shouted, "This guy will be dealt with by me and my team. The rest of you, go inside and rescue the person! Renault, you go in too. I can handle this!"
No one doubted her words, and without hesitation, they all rushed into the broken gate to save the hostages.
Inside the mansion's front yard, several members of Shie Hassaikai immediately appeared and approached the joint team of police and heroes, taunting them.
"Hey! Who do you think you are? Don't think you can cause trouble here!"
Unfortunately, these few henchmen were no match for them.
"We are the police and Pro Heroes. We have a search warrant! We're investigating the production and trafficking of illegal drugs!"
Upon hearing this, the members of Shie Hassaikai wasted no time and immediately unleashed their Quirks, launching their attacks.
"Togata-senpai, Midoriya, don't waste time with these people," Renault said and accelerated in a straight line, punching away the two people blocking their path, and heading towards their target location.
Togata and Midoriya did the same, showing no fear of the villains' Quirks. They dodged the attacks effortlessly and ruthlessly took the down and charged forward.
As more and more members of Shie Hassaikai emerged, Nighteye gave a direct order, "Leave these people to the second team and the police. Our objective is to rescue, not engage in prolonged battles. The entrance is just ahead!"
From the moment the villains initiated their attack, it was clear that their operation had been exposed. Therefore, they had to rush in immediately to rescue the hostages, without letting the minor members distract them.
*BOOM!*
Renault charged ahead and kicked open the main door, with Nighteye following closely, saying, "This way!"
The team of heroes followed Nighteye and took several turns until they entered a room. Then, he stretched out and pressed a square block on the wall.
In the next moment, a hidden door appeared before them.
"This is it, the passage leading underground."
When Nighteye foresaw the future fragments of the organization's members earlier, he also saw the method to access the underground, leaving no room for hesitation.
Now, every second counts.
