Chapter 6 – #2 First Brainwashing, Hero Spade (2)
This voice.
This tone.
Even though it’s been about two months since I heard it, there’s no way I can’t understand the disgusting man’s voice that still lingers in my memory.
“New year… Mind.”
No. 13?!
[OK. It is the 13th.]
A sly voice is annoying.
No, than that.
“Why are you using Mr. Apple’s number… What, why did you call?!”
[I picked it up on the way, where can I send it back to you? Will you give me a reward? This looks pretty expensive.]
“Don’t play around!”
I don’t even think that Apple will inadvertently drop the phone,
Above all, it is difficult to see that the villain picked it up and picked it up.
Plus, he called Spade right away with that.
[… ] Heroes don’t even joke. At times like this, at least pretend to accept it. Doesn’t my stomach boil to talk to you anyway? Do you know how painful it was when I was beaten last time?]
“…….”
[No answer… Yeah, I got it I won’t say anything more useless. Let’s get to the point.]
Through the smartphone speaker, I heard Number 13 sighing.
That exaggerated voice, exaggerated attitude, made me very angry…
Spade blinked several times to calm himself down.
[I just sent you a picture, so look at it.]
I lowered the smartphone I was holding to my ear and checked the screen.
Apparently, there was a message on Apple’s number. When I opened it, there was no text, only a picture image attached with a daughter.
And, in the photo.
“Apple… Seed…!”
A colleague of the same 7th division hero, Apple, was restrained in a chair, his head bowed.
I couldn’t figure out what had happened, but at least I could tell that the white sleeveless shirt and uniform skirt she was wearing were disorganized enough to tell at a glance.
In an instant, heat rose to Spade’s head.
“Hey…! You…!”
[I understand your feelings, but I want you to calm down, Spade.]
Calm? Seriously?
In the midst of the heat that bubbling up in my head, the words of No. 13 continued.
[To properly understand the situation. Now this woman is in front of me, in my hand.]
A clatter, a rustling sound, was heard as if to be seen.
I can’t figure out what it means or what it means.
[Do you understand?]
Whether or not that object is what Spade thinks is unknown.
But no matter what, it was clear that the life and death powers of Apple were now in his hands.
I get angry.
Angry.
My head feels like it’s going to explode with too much anger.
――But you have to be patient.
Calmly, coldly to the end.
Hostage-taking villains are nothing new now. Spade, who has been through all the pre-natal battles, has experienced it several times.
Close your eyes for a moment, then take a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, Spade’s face had sunk into an expressionless expression, and his head had regained his composure.
No. 13’s admiring voice could be heard over the phone, as if he could understand Spade’s expression his through the phone.
[That’s great. He’s also an A-class hero. Are you familiar with this situation?]
“…… Shut up and tell me your business right now.”
[Let’s talk a little more slowly. If this is not the case, when will I have a proper conversation with you?]
“Shut up, I said.”
Just got out of the shower, naked.
Spade clenched her fists and growled.
Her head her is cold, but that doesn’t mean the anger in her heart her is gone.
Seeing Spade’s sullen attitude of her that seemed to kill people just by killing herself in her voice her, no. 13 through the speaker clicked her tongue as if it couldn’t be helped.
She is sick of that relaxed attitude.
[Hero Spade, please come to the place I instruct you from now on.]
[I will release this woman when you come. As long as you don’t do useless things, I won’t do anything.]
[However, you must come alone.]
[If you see another hero, or if you want to do something useless… Don’t you have to tell me?]
[You and I—Let’s make a decision, Hero.]
After saying that, the call was disconnected.
Taking the smart phone in her hand her away from her ear her, Spade stood for a while in the middle of her room with scary eyes full of murder.
* * *
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Click, click….
――And about 15 minutes later.
Spade stopped her motorcycle in front of a building on a deserted street, took off her helmet, and stepped down.
The street, like a remnant of the villain disaster in the past, is still completely dead and abandoned.
The only people who live within a few kilometers of it are just homeless homeless people who use the ruins as a base to escape the rain and wind.
“…… Are you here?”
I checked again with my smartphone. As expected, this is where the GPS coordinates sent by No. 13 are pointing.
Spade surveyed the eerie building, resembling an abandoned factory, with her eyes narrowed.
… It looks like an abandoned building, but light is leaking from the inside.
[Spade senior, have you arrived?]
The club’s voice came from the Bluetooth terminal plugged into my ear.
There was a warning from No. 13, but it was impossible to come without any countermeasures, so I briefly explained to the club.
But other than that, there is no solution.
Perhaps it was the intention to prevent other measures from being taken, or it was because the time was set very tight.
Even though I briefly told the club and started right away, I was able to run with all my might and manage to make it close to the time.
“For now, this seems to be the right place. … But the club, the sound is crackling.”
[Senior’s voice keeps cutting out for me too. Is it because it is in ruins?]
“Well… I don’t think so.”
When I checked the smartphone screen again, there was only one antenna floating.
A little farther from the warehouse, the antenna quickly increased to two spaces.
“Looks like you’ve done something.”
I heard that there is a genius who makes all sorts of inventions in the villain organization [Abyss] To which No. 13 belongs.
Even if that’s not the case, jamming devices that interfere with radio waves can be obtained more easily than you think.
“Let’s stop communicating here. I’m rushing in… 30 minutes… No, if you don’t get back to me within an hour, then proceed as I told you beforehand.”
* * *
Thump… Thump…
Spade carefully entered the abandoned factory.
There might be a bomb or something installed somewhere in the factory, so pay close attention to every nook and cranny.
With Spade’s specialty her [Physical Strengthening], She can survive to the point where she won’t die even if a C4 bomb explodes at close range, but
If there are several of them, or if it’s enough to blow up the entire factory, even a spade will kill you instantly.
A heavy pistol in one hand. Instead of live ammunition, there are rubber bullets for suppression.
In the first place, the whole body is a spade that is no different from a weapon, but for the purpose of simply suppressing in case of an emergency, it is better to use a gun like this or a stun rod that is used frequently.
The killing power of fists is so high that pistols are safer.
As No. 13 emphasizes several times, there is no doubt that Spade is a monster.
‘Until the time designated by No. 13… Just one minute… I only have 20 seconds left.’
Thinking of traps makes me cautious, but if it’s delayed then something might happen to Apple.
Worry for a while. Spade quickly made a decision and ran inside.
Inside the warehouse, LED lights were lit sparsely, and countless containers were lined up in a disorderly manner, as if abandoned.
There were more doors the further you went in, and beyond that, a bleak corridor lined up. There are several floors, so it will take time to look at each one.
It’s kind of like a maze.
『…… ! … !』
While expressing such feelings, Spade heard something in her ears as she hurriedly advanced through the hallway.
‘This…………..?’
――It is popular.
It was a quiet abandoned building, and I could hear it enough to make it reverberate.
The auditory senses strengthened by magical powers caught the sound with certainty.
‘It’s over there….’
I know it’s a trap, but I can’t help but move on.
In the direction the sound came from, the spade crossed the space lined with containers and entered.
After through the heavy iron gate, let’s pass a little more through the corridor that looks like a passing concentration camp.
I found a room with the door open and the only light on.
“Town…! Town…!”
“Mr. Apple!”
A stuffy space, like a warehouse, blocked on all sides by concrete walls.
In the middle of the space, which felt quite cramped, Apple, a colleague from the 7th division, was restrained in a chair as shown in the picture.
The mouth of his is taped.
‘What about No. 13?’
Invisible
Only Apple is left here.
Beep, beep, beep–
I knew at once that something was strange. It’s about not being able to set foot inside.
Obviously, I would have judged a little more calmly originally, but the object lying at Apple’s feet made my head go white for a moment.
There was a certain box with a red light blinking on it.
‘Bomb?!’
If it’s a ticking time bomb, it’s definitely in line with the 15 minutes specified by No. 13.
So what time is it now? What is the explosive power? How much shock?
Apple in front of your eyes. No, what comes first.
Can I throw it away? Will it explode? Should I hug Apple?
No, how many seconds are left before that? Wouldn’t it be too late to run from now?
“――Aaaaa!!!!”
Shh!
Various thoughts crossed my mind, and the spade darted into the room.
Hug Apple’s body and run into the room at once. A little away from the bomb, Let’s use this body as a shield to protect it.
I don’t know how large that bomb will explode, but the odds of this side surviving are higher than Apple’s enduring it naked….
Beep, beep, beep…
Beep beep!
‘Oh, no way.’
After jumping over the bomb, by the time his outstretched arm reached Apple.
The regular ringing sound changed. It was the alarm that signaled time-over.
I can’t afford to play with Apple. Spade hugged Apple tightly as he did. My heart beats thump thump terribly.
Alas, I might die today.
Surprisingly, in the midst of thinking that way.
Behind your backPop,A voice was heard.

……………………………………
…………………………
………………
‘……… Pop?’
Well……………….
Isn’t it a bit too light to call it an explosion?
Thinking it was strange, I carefully turned my head.
Diyong~ Diyong~With the feeling of
In the box I thought was a bomb, a clown-headed toy bounced and swayed in response to the springs underneath.
Me ~ long and sticking out his tongue.
With a humorous smile that seemed to be very pissed off.
……… This X-kid is real.
