Prologue, a desperate situation

What kind of joke is this! Are you going to rush downstairs to confront the army head-on?

Hello, do you mean to say ... ...

An unprecedented sense of despair enveloped everyone, but at that moment, the dark-haired youth raised his head

As we proceed with our planning, I believe everyone should have this awareness

The young man spoke, once again looking towards his companions

The girl said nothing, merely tilted her head slightly and then nodded.

Why didn't you leave

Some individuals suddenly appeared on a windowsill where no connection was previously possible, and in the moment of their disappearance, they moved down several floors.

She was a young girl dressed in somewhat ornate noble attire, with long, light golden hair

Perhaps it was because this statement was too unrealistic, that everyone momentarily thought there was something wrong with their ears; however, the youth's gentle and steady voice clearly reached their ears.

Based on the concentration of explosives they are using, it is sufficient to destroy one-third of the city. We have no way to escape this building in such a short time, and even if we do escape, we would still be caught in the explosion... the outcome...

However...

Even without an elevator, for these individuals, jumping from the seventy floors is not a difficult task

Even if this continues, I believe we cannot escape. Moreover, even if we leave this place, our fate will still not change

The young man did not turn around, but instead asked in a somewhat dejected manner. From the darkness behind him, a figure slowly emerged, and only when it reached the glass window, illuminated by the bright moonlight, did her silhouette become visible

The towering building, reaching up to seventy stories, suddenly began to tremble violently. Then, in an instant, the energy that was poised to erupt swiftly seemed to be drawn in by some unseen force, pulling at the structure that had already reached its peak. After several minutes had passed, the energy that should have been released surged forth like a flood breaching a dam, sweeping everything in its path with ferocity. A massive explosion engulfed half the city, leaving nothing unscathed.

The fellows down there seem to be starting to retreat, we might as well ... ...

Some fall as lightly as feathers, as if they possess no weight at all

At this point, the young man let out a helpless smile.

A black-haired youth stood quietly alone in the silent hall, the darkened building devoid of power, with only the bomb tied to the pillar flashing a bright red light in countdown. In fact, since such a powerful bomb had been prepared, it was possible that missiles were also on standby. The youth found this somewhat absurd; to deal with just a dozen of them, such exaggerated equipment was being used. In this case, even if he were to die, it would be enough to take pride in that world.

The young boy was talking to himself alone, yet it sounded as if he were responding to questions posed by an invisible person

The dark-haired youth faced the cold night and the howling wind, speaking in a slightly heavy tone. If one listened closely, the hurried footsteps from the emergency exit below could still be heard. Those fully armed soldiers would likely reach the rooftop in just a few minutes. Although the armed helicopter had been shot down and the entire building's power had been cut off, this was where their advantage ended. This small team, consisting of only a dozen individuals, had no way to contend with the special forces numbering in the hundreds, let alone those surrounding the building... There were thousands.

Another girl gently twitched her nose and then shook her head in resignation

Upon saying this, the young man let out a sigh, and his expression grew considerably more somber

The time is almost up

This is the end

Hmm? Wouldn't it be frightening? Well... it would be impossible to say that I am not afraid.

Dressed in a luxurious gown dominated by the color black, with a porcelain-like face reminiscent of a doll and slender limbs, she is undeniably a beautiful young girl from any perspective. However, there is one distinct aspect that clearly sets her apart from others.

The black-haired youth let out a sigh, slowly rising to his feet, and then extended his right hand towards the helicopter. A heavily armed helicopter that could easily be subdued by a tank suddenly appeared to be in a state of panic, rotating and retreating as if it were exceptionally afraid of the youth's empty right hand. The youth shrugged helplessly and then turned to look at those "companions".

Is that so? Do you want to help me? Given your abilities, you can indeed increase the success rate

70th floor of the comprehensive administrative building in the new urban area, 2015

Ah?

It is precisely because they are considered "dangerous elements" that they act so recklessly

In summary, tasks that are fundamentally impossible or originally unattainable for various humans are, for these individuals, effortless or, one might say, already familiar.

Useless

The companions exchanged uneasy glances, fully aware that the young man before them was unique among them, and his abilities were equally exceptional. However, this meant he had given up his own hopes, leaving the chance of survival for others. In the distance, the roar of a helicopter could be heard, its bright white lights blinding everyone, yet the other side showed no intention of approaching further. The wreckage lying nearby, emitting thick black smoke, served as a stark warning; it seemed this helicopter was merely monitoring them to ensure that these "dangerous individuals" would not attempt to escape at this moment. If they were to make preparations to flee, the other side would undoubtedly press the detonation button without hesitation, and any subsequent excuses or explanations would likely involve a gas explosion of unknown origin, followed by the casual dismissal of a few individuals to settle the matter.

The story of this world comes to a conclusion

Alright, it is now time for you to make a choice. I believe you should understand that even if we manage to escape this time, the pursuit will not cease. If I wish to lead a stable life, then sacrifices must be made. Indeed, if we unleash our full abilities, we might be able to prevent this explosion. But what will that bring us? An endless chase, fleeing... Yes, if we unleash our full abilities, we might indeed be able to prevent this explosion. But what will that bring us? An endless chase, fleeing... Apart from this, we can do nothing.

To capture us? To kill us?

Therefore, at the very least, we have the possibility of attaining freedom

I believe I have a solution

The girl remained silent, not even parting her delicate pink lips, yet the boy seemed to be responding to her question. At that moment, the boy slowly turned around and extended a hand towards the sky. The girl, as if in perfect harmony, stood behind him, back to back, her hands clasped tightly in front of her chest, resembling a devout nun in prayer.

A profound silence enveloped the rooftop as everyone exchanged glances. These individuals, hailing from different nationalities, regions, races, and even ages, found themselves standing in the same place at this moment due to a shared trait—they possessed abilities that ordinary people did not have, and as a result, they were regarded as outcasts, terrorists, or subjects worthy of study. Many among them were feared, loathed, hidden, or hunted. The small team, led by a black-haired youth, was forged in the relentless pursuit and escape, forming bonds of mutual trust.

I believe I can stop those things. At the very least, I can delay them for a few minutes. As for whether you can escape, that depends on yourselves

The girl with snow-white short hair sang nervously and dreamily like a book, as moisture condensed into ice crystals at her pure white fingertips, only to dissipate immediately. For this girl who could manipulate temperature, the cold she felt was certainly not as simple as the night wind on the rooftop; perhaps the despair from within was the true uncontrollable force. "Am I, are we really valuable? Aren't we?" For this girl who could manipulate temperature, the cold she felt was certainly not as simple as the night wind on the rooftop; perhaps the despair from within was the true uncontrollable force. "Am I, are we really valuable? Aren't we?"

None among us possesses the capability to defuse the bomb, and according to the analysis just presented, even those soldiers must evacuate the nearby residents. Although they will certainly be on high alert to prevent us from escaping amidst the chaos, I believe that when the bomb detonates, they too will withdraw, without concern for our escape. After all, even if we manage to flee this building at that time, we would still be doomed... However, it is quite unfortunate.

Is it completely finished ... ... ?

Hmm? Let me pull myself together. Speaking of which, feeling down at times like this can indeed affect one's performance.

The girl's left eye is a golden yellow, resembling the dazzling color of gold. Her right eye is a beautiful aquamarine. She gazes quietly at the young man, saying nothing. However, a smile briefly appears on the young man's originally cold face, as if he understands her meaning

Those guys have planted a bomb down there! It seems they intend to blow up this building

A middle-aged man said with a pale face that he possessed the ability to sense his surroundings, but now, this ability seemed to serve no other purpose than to accurately inform them that there was no way to escape.

Someone is running down the wall, completely ignoring gravity.
