"let's go."
And so, the black-haired youth led the brown-haired girl away.
"Wait, where's that guy?"
When Misaka Mikoto was eager to challenge a rare multi-ability user, the seat was already empty.
"They've already left. Such a powerful ability user and a rich and beautiful young lady are indeed a perfect match," Saten remarked.
Little did she know, this sentence touched Misaka Mikoto's girlish heart.
"That's exactly what I meant!"
That guy already had a girlfriend. So, the idea that "sparks flew" was definitely just my imagination!
Where are the bank robbers?
Shortly afterward, security guards and disciplinary committee members who rushed from the vicinity were shocked by the horrific scene.
Hei Zi scoffed, "Weren't they all tied up properly over there?"
"They're all dead... dead... Shirai-kun!" Haru couldn't help but scream.
The person with the ability to generate fire was found already burned to a crisp.
That night, yellow police tape cordoned off the area, and a strong, acrid smell filled the entire neighborhood. Disciplinary officials responsible for minors were also prohibited from observing.
The four members of Railgun have lost their appetite for crepes.
"Was that his move? That was ruthless!"
Recalling the terrifying "Fire Release," Shirai Kuroko felt a lingering fear. Thankfully, she hadn't gone looking for trouble.
Chu Chun hesitated and said, "Shouldn't that be considered legitimate self-defense?"
“No, the prisoner died from self-immolation,” a guard explained. “We consulted experts on ignition. This kind of life reaction is caused by one’s own ignition ability igniting the body from the inside out, even affecting the internal organs…”
"Where is the prisoner in the car?" Mikoto asked hurriedly.
He suffocated by burying his head inside the airbag.
Shirai Kuroko hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell Mikoto. Even though it wasn't her fault, she knew it would make her older sister feel guilty.
She quickly changed the subject: "Did your superpowers go out of control?"
"The criminals were all killed by their own abilities, this kind of thing..."
On this day, a dark cloud hung over Academy City.
Misaka 8912 has returned to her original appearance and is hiding far away in the alley, taking one last look at her older sister.
Nangong comforted her, "One day, you'll be able to stand openly by her side as her younger sister. Until then, you'll experience many new and interesting things..."
"That's enough. I had a great date today."
The Misaka Sisters hugged the Gekota plushie tightly. Because it was something their older sister liked, she was starting to like it a little too.
Perhaps it's the genes of the "Guatai Waste" that are at play.
"Give."
Misaka 8912 took off her bag and handed it over.
Nangong Xuan then realized that she had been protecting her brother-in-law's belongings from the beginning.
"I told you, Frog is a gift for you."
The brown-haired girl had no expression, yet she looked so sad that she seemed about to cry.
“Misaka cherishes this, but… I can’t stay after all. The first outdoor test is a given, and Sisters’ brainwaves have already contacted me. It’s time for Misaka to ‘set off’.”
The Misaka Network is a human brain network formed by 20,000 clones sharing the same brainwaves, and thus they are compelled to obey the orders issued by the command center.
“You’ve been kidnapped, you can’t escape now.” Nangong grabbed Misaka’s hand. “Don’t worry, you’re my girlfriend, so… no one can hurt you.”
"Our date for the day should be over. Let's meet again another time. Do," Misaka tries to break up with a lie.
No, they were just fake "lovers" who didn't even last a day.
This girl can't even lie.
The next time they meet will likely be with a different Misaka Sister. Even so, Misaka 8912 wants to pass on this beautiful memory, allowing the Sisters to fulfill a distant promise—for her.
"Do you think I don't know what the experiment is about? No one is born to be killed!" Nangong said in a deep voice.
The girl said urgently, "But Misaka can be produced with just the push of a button, and the clones only cost 18 yen each..."
"A girlfriend who's like an inflatable doll, wouldn't that be even better?" Nangong smiled.
Misaka said blankly, "Mr. Kidnapper... he's really a pervert."
"Yes, so..."
At that moment, Nangong Xuan recalled a line from a little nun in A Certain Magical Index.
"I will accompany you to the ends of hell."
Chapter 021 Schrödinger's Yuriko Suzushina
In the dead of night, in the western suburbs of Academy City, at an abandoned construction site in the 17th school district.
This outlying school district is a vast industrial park, mostly filled with unmanned automated factories, and therefore sparsely populated. In such a remote location, any tragedy that occurs would go unnoticed by outsiders, making it an ideal testing ground.
A group of scientists in white coats stayed inside the building, waiting to observe experimental data.
"Hmph, what a bunch of cowardly rats."
A white-haired boy stood alone on the field, impatiently picking at his ear. He wore a black and white striped shirt, had red eyes, a slender figure, and limbs lacking muscle, making it impossible to tell whether he was male or female.
He could kill everyone in the building with a single stomp of his foot, but in order to continue developing his superpowers, he has no choice but to spare their lives.
Accelerator, the strongest in Academy City, is undoubtedly No. 1 among the seven Level 5 espers!
"'Mass Production Type Ability User Project' - DNA was collected from Misaka Mikoto before she reached Level 5 in an attempt to clone 20,000 military-grade 'Railguns'. In the end, the 'Sisters' had less than 1% of the original's abilities, and the project ultimately failed and was permanently frozen."
“Simply cloning cannot replicate a Level 5. We still don’t know where superpowers reside—the body… or the soul?”
"In order to get closer to God, it is necessary to create beings that surpass humans, namely Level 6 Absolute Abilities. Coincidentally, the 'Level 6 Evolution Project' was created for this purpose, giving the 20,000 frozen clones a purpose."
"According to the calculations of the most powerful quantum computer in the sky, 'The Tree Diagram Designer,' only one of the seven Level 6 espers in Academy City has the potential to evolve into Level 6, but this would require over 250 years of regular coursework. Alternatively, he could prepare a specific battlefield and kill 'A Certain Scientific Railgun' 128 times, thus allowing his abilities to grow through actual combat."
"If we can't prepare 128 [Railguns], we can achieve the same effect by preparing 20,000 battlefields and 20,000 Sisters... You should all be familiar with the above."
A researcher, holding a document, recounted the experimental process.
"Today is the first outdoor test. We will witness the birth of an absolute power user, starting from this moment!"
With a mortal body, one can reach the ears of the heavens!
The scientists could hardly contain their excitement, as if they could already see the groundbreaking research results that would one day shake the world. They imagined themselves being promoted to higher positions, becoming academic leaders in their fields, and reaching the pinnacle of their lives.
Which scholar could resist such temptation?
The girl with dead fish eyes—Toshinobu Fubuki—was also upstairs and had already received a message from Misaka 8912. That child was on her way.
But why do I feel so restless?
"In reality, everyone knows that what they really want is money and power. The so-called 'science' has long been hollowed out by this city, just like the human heart."
Another female scientist lowered her voice, so low that only Bu Shu could hear it.
"Huh? Yoshikawa-senpai..."
This is a mature, intellectual woman specializing in genetics. She currently manages the experimental center of the "Absolute Ability Evolution Project" and is the official person in charge.
The real mastermind behind the plan was the Kihara family, or even the higher-ranking chairman. The researchers from ordinary backgrounds were merely "white gloves" doing the dirty work.
Everyone is tacit.
Kikyo Yoshikawa chuckled self-deprecatingly: "The adult world must be so boring, right? Little Fubuki, don't become a boring adult yourself."
"I remember."
“Alright, the experiment is about to begin,” Yoshikawa said in a low voice. “It’s like having a child you watched grow up killed. This is just… awful.”
Would a scholar as outstanding as Professor Yoshikawa feel compassion for clones?
Bu Shudi was confused.
They are researchers who have been collaborating since the "Mass Production Capable Person Project," and are both mentors and friends. They know all too well how more than 20,000 girls have grown up day by day.
When a Misaka Sister opens her eyes after fourteen days of growth in the nutrient pod, the joy overflowing in her heart is like that of someone about to hatch.
"There is a delicacy in China called 'Fourteen-Day Phoenix Egg,' also known as 'Live Pearl.' It is eaten 14 days before the egg hatches, when it already has the rudiments of various organs inside, resembling a life form but not entirely in the shape of a chicken."
The speaker was the male researcher from before.
"Humans can go to this extent even with the creatures they incubate."
A scientist with a conscience cannot survive in Academy City. Everyone is swept up in the struggle for power, all for the benefit of various factions.
The girl with dead fish eyes stared at the terrifying figure on the field, and for the first time, she felt a desire to resist. But that was the strongest Accelerator; no one could stop his slaughter!
"The time has come, and they still haven't arrived? Then let's activate the backup plan."
