----------
He murmured to himself, "Should I inject this into my own body?"
Itadori narrowed his eyes, secretly laughing to himself. It seemed that many people had set their sights on him.
___
The next morning, Itadori had just gotten up in the presidential suite of the hotel when he received a call from Nighteye.
The tone sounded very anxious.
After putting on his combat uniform, he was picked up by the driver and arrived at Nighteye's office.
"Are you here?"
Nighteye, Mirio, and All Might had all arrived.
"You said yesterday that the members of the Hassaikai group also attacked you, right?"
Nighteye picked up a small, fingernail-sized injection needle from the desk next to him.
"He's not going to shoot you with this, is he?"
Itadori's pupils dimmed slightly as he took out a needle similar to the one from his combat uniform pocket, "What a coincidence."
"Really?"
Nighteye turned his head and looked at Tsukauchi, who was sitting in the back, and explained, "Mirio, who went to chase them last night, accidentally got hit by this thing… Mirio, you tell him."
Mirio nodded and explained, "I'm sorry. It was all my fault for being too careless."
"I originally used my Quirk, 'Permeation,' to catch up with the members of the Hassaikai group, but I didn't expect to be ambushed and hit by this bullet. As a result... I lost my Quirk."
Upon hearing this, Itadori's eyelids twitched.
Loss of Quirk?
He had asked the underworld middleman about this a long time ago.
But he had said more than once that such a thing was impossible.
Mirio added, "Of course, it wasn't completely erased. After a night, it was restored this morning."
As he spoke, Mirio showed his quirk.
A quirk that could "penetrate" through everything.
"That is to say..." Itadori spoke slowly, but Nighteye took over his words:
"That is to say, the bullets that hit Mirio and attempted to attack you are semi-finished products. The is very likely researching a method that can completely erase a person's personality.
"The finished product would completely erase it."
All Might frowned, "If something like this really appears, it will become a horrible product that will affect the entire heroic society... no! Even the entire world!"
"So, what are you going to do next?"
Itadori asked back.
Eliminate quirk?
This is getting really interesting.
"Unfortunately, after Mirio lost his quirk, those people completely disappeared without a trace. Now we can only investigate the composition of this special bullet while quietly checking their whereabouts."
Nighteye folded his arms.
All Might took one of the bullets and said, "It just so happens that I have a friend in the United States who is good at research. I want to give this to him for further study."
For some reason, Nighteye flashed a strange look in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "David Shield?"
All Might was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Uh… well, yeah."
"Sir, shall Itadori and I continue patrolling and looking for any traces of the Deathly Hachisai Society?"
Mirio asked Nighteye.
"Well, although I think it is unlikely that they are still in this city, it is still necessary to continue the search."
Nighteye said, and turned his gaze to Itadori, focusing mainly on Petra on his shoulder:
"Of course, it is enough to just secretly install a positioning bug. Don't do anything more, neither you nor your pet."
"Oh, I'll listen to you."
Itadori agreed.
'I am very interested in eliminating personality.' He thought.
"I can't find them. As expected, just as the teacher expected, they are no longer in this city."
A day passed, and the two did not find any trace of the Hassaikai group.
Yesterday, Jio dared to attack Itadori.
Most likely, they came here for [The World]'s troublesome time-stopping ability.
Itadori thought that if he just walked around the street in a swaggering manner, he would be able to spot some of their shadows.
But he didn't expect that not only himself, but even Petra couldn't find any trace of the Hassaikai group.
Buzz——
Itadori felt the cell phone in his pocket suddenly ring.
'Is it Momo?'
Itadori thought subconsciously.
But when he turned on the screen, it showed someone else's name.
The message was sent by Izuku Midoriya in the class group.
There was no message at all, only a coordinate was displayed.
The address was a dark alley somewhere in Hosu City.
"What's wrong?" Mirio asked.
"Nothing." Itadori replied.
Itadori took back the phone.
Hosu City is nearly an hour's drive from here.
He remembered that at this time, Izuku Midoriya was looking for the so-called "Hero Killer," right?
But even if he went there, it would be too late.
If it were in the past, Itadori might have wanted to take a look at this "hero killer."
But something as interesting as erasing personality has already happened, so why bother with that?
After returning to Nighteye's office with Mirio.
Nighteye said nothing and handed something to Itadori.
It was a plane ticket.
"I Island?"
Itadori was slightly stunned when he saw the destination shown on the ticket.
This address and the plane ticket really gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.
"All Might's assistant in his youth, David Shield, is conducting research on quirks and hero costumes on this island. He is one of the world's top quirk research scientists."
Nighteye explained, "Tonight, you will go to I Island with All Might's letter of introduction and the bullet that can erase quirk. Give these two things to him and let him conduct research."
Itadori took the plane ticket and the letter and asked calmly, "Why isn't All Might going by himself?"
Nighteye pushed his glasses down again, "It seems that something went wrong with..."
'Midoriya?'
Itadori guessed in his heart.
After putting away the plane ticket and letter of introduction, Itadori left the office and headed for the airport.
He would arrive at I Island early tomorrow morning.
While in the car, Itadori took out another letter.
It was given to him by the No.3 hero Hawks during the U.A. Sports Festival.
It was also a plane ticket to I Island and a letter of introduction.
However, the above content required him to go to I Island to investigate something by himself.
Since it was not convenient for professional heroes to take action, Itadori was asked to go.
The reward was to erase all the past crimes of Itadori and Petra.
Time graduall passed late at night.
Itadori had already boarded the plane to I Island and closed his eyes to fall into a doze.
Meanwhile, in Hosu City.
Izuku Midoriya, Tenya Iida, and Shoto Todoroki are fighting desperately against the "Hero Killer" Stain.
After receiving the location information of Izuku, only Todoroki arrived in time.
After a desperate battle, the three of them barely managed to repel Stain.
However, just when the low-level villains released by the villain alliance were unprepared to attack Izuku, who was one of the main targets of the villain alliance...
No one could have imagined that the person who rescued Izuku was actually Stain, who was almost under the control of the police!
It is exactly the same as the original.
After Stain made that shocking declaration while being filmed by a TV reporter, he was finally arrested and controlled by the police.
Izuku, Todoroki, and Tenya were sent to the ward in Hosu City with the help of professional heroes such as Endeavor.
And they didn't find out.
On the rooftop of a tall building in Hosu City.
Shigaraki Tomura, holding a telescope, exuded a fierce aura and said in a deep voice, "Go back, Kurogiri."
Kurogiri remained silent, simply opening the portal and leaving with Shigaraki Tomura.
The reporter on the helicopter in the distance rubbed his eyes after seeing the scene here, thinking he had seen it wrong.
The next morning.
In a dark underground bar.
"Our station will continue to follow up on this 'enemy' [Hero Killer] Stain, who may go down in criminal history."
After turning off the TV with the remote control, Shigaraki Tomura crumpled up the newspaper next to it, which had the same headline as what the host had just said, and threw it into the corner.
"One by one, they're all talking about Stain, Stain, Stain. In the end, the enemy alliance has become that guy's foil! Damn it, damn it!"
Shigaraki Tomura was the same as always, like a "giant baby," exuding his inexplicable hostility.
