At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"It's normal for you to have wild thoughts when you see me now. After all, that's just how 'I' am. I don't feel safe until I can absolutely read other people's memories and control everyone around me."

“Even towards another version of myself, ‘I’ will remain vigilant.”

“Therefore, I will let you read my memories.” Misaki Shokuhou released her ability: “I know how to make myself completely trust you, and I am not worried about being controlled by another me. I possess the noblest heart at every moment.”

“Come, ‘me,’ read my memories,” Misaki Shokuhou said.

She has absolute faith in 'herself', and it is necessary to let another version of herself know everything in advance to avoid a 'time paradox'.

If she hadn't met 'Dolly' during this period, she couldn't guarantee that her memories and experiences wouldn't be overwritten when she returned to the original timeline.

The teacher said to try to make the time loop as closed as possible.

In addition, there are many things she wants to change, such as Touma Kamijou.

If that boy hadn't met her, he wouldn't have been in mortal danger. Rather than letting others be hurt because of her, she would rather have never crossed paths with him in the first place.

"The future? Me in the future? Are you telling a fairy tale? I already graduated from elementary school, and I'm about to enter junior high school." Young Misaki said warily, looking incredulous.

This is a plot that only appears in comic books; how could it possibly happen in real life?

“However, since you’ve already said that.” The young girl instantly activated 'Mental Control' and pressed a button on the remote control in her hand, pointing it at 'another version of herself'.

Misaki Shokuhou's expression froze for a moment, then turned cold, completely under control.

"Then let me see what's going on." The young Misaki quickly accessed the memories, her expression shifting from wariness and doubt to shock and disbelief.

With such vast amounts of memory fragments being continuously read, her current ability to read a person's entire life's memories is no problem at all.

She reads memories by starting with the most recent ones and digging into the deepest parts of the past, so the first memories she encounters are those that were sent back to the past by Mr. Los Saint using his superpowers.

Then came the major event of their defeat of a research institution, followed by Tokiwadai's daily routine of forming the Shokuhou faction, and then a year ago, which is what is happening to her now.

Because of rumors that Level 5's Aim Spread Field interfered with the enhancement of other Devil Fruit users' abilities, they were hunted down by the boy band "Dead Knot," who hated Level 5. Touma Kamijou risked his life to save them, and although he survived, he lost his memory as a result.

Then came the 'External Brain Project', the 'Internal Evolution Project', and the 'Misaka Zero Dolly Incident'...

Then, today, she'll be taken to meet Dolly, the person she just entered the 'Talent Workshop'.

All her previous memories were exactly the same as hers.

Negative emotions from her memories kept resurfacing, stimulating the young Misaki to the point of being breathless. Although they were just memories, they felt incredibly real, as if she had experienced them herself.

pat~

Young Misaki was sweating profusely, and the remote control in her hand fell to the ground because of her trembling hands.

"Really?"

"Hoo~" Misaki Shokuhou's control was released, and she looked at her pale-faced younger self for a moment and then said in silence: "Of course it's real, the younger 'me'."

Young Misaki quickly used her abilities to control her emotions, picked up the remote control from the ground, and snorted, "What young 'me'? I'm just me a year from now."

"However, I really am a genius beautiful girl protagonist. A year later, I actually encountered such a magical thing and even had the opportunity to go back to the past and change the tragedy."

Young Misaki had completely believed it. After all, memories could be faked, but a Level 5 psycho-type ability user, especially one from the future, couldn't possibly have their memories faked.

"I never need anyone's command, not even 'myself,' so everyone acts independently. As long as it's 'me,' I will definitely do it perfectly." Misaki Shokuhou said proudly with her arms crossed. As a psycho-type ability user, she knew herself best.

“Even the future ‘me’ shouldn’t think I know myself very well; it’s just that I have an extra year and a half of experience.” Young Shokuhou put her hands on her hips.

Of course she knew what to do. 'Happiness' was the most important thing, and she would never allow herself, as the person involved, to let the 'tragedy' repeat itself.

“Then let’s split up and take complete control of the ‘Talent Workshop’,” said Misaki Shokuhou. “Although I don’t get along with Misaka-san, I still admire her efficiency. She has now broken down all my ‘psychological defenses’.”

After saying that, Misaki Shokuhou gracefully walked towards the elevator.

“A third Level 5… Indeed, those muscle-bound guys are definitely not compatible with an elegant and beautiful girl like me.” Young Misaki nodded in agreement. Although she had never met him, reading her future self’s memories made her realize that even without the conflict with 'Dolly,' she and the third one wouldn’t get along very well.

"Well, let the elegant beauty tolerate the rude future classmate." Young Misaki tossed her hair as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

He then walked towards the elevator that was opposite to the one for whom he was older.

"I knew it. This research institution was full of ulterior motives."

……

Two wasps began to control the research institute's personnel from two directions, and the researchers were completely subdued before they could even react.

Two level 5 mental beings, one level 5 electromagnetic being, and one level 4 spatial being—this lineup could easily control not only a research institution, but also the government of a country without anyone noticing.

Using it to control a research institution would be a complete waste of its potential.

At this time, there were only two students in the 'Internal Evolution Research Lab' of the research institution: Yuri Chiya, the 'Internal Evolution Core' who stayed at the research institution to take care of her because she was too weak to engage in strenuous exercise, and Archer Tiger, a powerless person who had not yet developed any superpowers.

Yuri Chiya's ability is level 4, 'Phantom Link'. This ability is complex and has the potential to become level 5.

It can use water as a medium to create 'phantom bodies', enhance the physical and mental control of others, and also possesses the ability to mentally possess others to optimize their superpower calculations.

This ability, when it possessed by Junko Hokkaido, temporarily brought her power to the level of a seventh-rank, level 5, the Slicing Army Overlord.

That's not the most crucial point. The strongest characteristic is that it can separate its own AIM diffusion field, allowing it to become an AIM life form with the appearance of Yuri Chiya.

That's why it was positioned as the core of the 'Internal Evolution Plan'.

I'm quite familiar with the bow and arrow hunter. Due to his personality, he joined the Dark Side School and even engaged in a mutual assassination attempt with Fran (Da) while on a mission. He eventually died in the Dark Side War caused by the second Level 5, Kakine Teitoku.

Soon, Misaki Shokuhou, Misaka Mikoto, and Shirai Kuroko met at the elevator entrance on the top floor of the planetarium.

The researchers at the planetarium had no idea that the research institution had been completely taken over.

"Finally, we've got all these guys under control! Today's workout is equivalent to a week's worth of exercise for most people. I'm exhausted. After this mission, I'm definitely going to enjoy the limited-edition cream puffs from Dream Dream Cake Shop." Misaki Shokuhou said breathlessly.

"Speaking of which... just stimulating the glands to secrete really made me grow this big?" The young Misaki looked at her older self, her chest heaving with rapid breathing, and decided to get breast augmentation.

Although she was only a junior high school student, as a beautiful young girl, she was also anxious about her underdeveloped breasts.

"Is it that tiring? Shokuhou, you really are a sports idiot." Misaka Mikoto said mercilessly, arms crossed, "I've never seen you participate in PE class, and you're never in swimming class either."

"Nonsense! I have perfect attendance records for PE class. If you don't believe me, Misaka-san, go ask the teacher." Shokuhou Misaki said matter-of-factly.

"Tch. A cheater using her abilities." Misaka Mikoto mercilessly exposed Shokuhou Misaki's disguise.

"Hey, wait a minute, you guys." Honey Ant Ai Yu walked over with dissatisfaction, accompanied by a dirty, smelly purple-haired girl whose eyes were filled with hatred, worry, and gratitude.

His dark lab coat was filthy, clearly worn for at least a week.

“It took me a lot of effort to bring this guy out. The door that’s locked requires a Level 1 Researcher’s ID to open,” Honey Ant Loves said.

"Thank you for saving me. My name is Jingce Kanqu." Jingce Kanqu bowed to the strangers.

She learned a week ago that Dolly was a clone and that the researchers had conducted many, many inhuman experiments on her.

So she tore off her pretense of being a good girl and went directly to question the director, threatening them not to hurt Dolly, or she would hand over the information to the news agency.

However, she overestimated her strength. Her abilities had already been anticipated by the researchers, who had countermeasures in place. She was knocked unconscious and locked up.

"Please! You must save Dolly, Dolly, she's dying." After being locked up for a week and on the verge of a mental breakdown, the police officer suddenly broke down, crying until his cheeks were wet.

“A week ago, the information I saw indicated that Dolly had at most a month to live, so those beasts were planning to intensify their human experiments while Dolly was still alive!”

Dolly was her best friend, arguably her only friend. Dolly was so innocent and naive; just because she was a clone, did she not have human rights? Clones are human beings too!

"...Damn it!" Misaka Mikoto was already in a mess because of the clone issue, and when she heard that her clone was in such a terrible state, she couldn't control her anger and punched the wall.

A buzzing sound... blue electricity surged from his body.

"Ugh... what's gotten into you all of a sudden!" Misaki Shokuhou's golden hair curled up from the static electricity as she got closer, and she stomped her foot in anger: "Don't you already know the whole story?! Why can't you control your emotions!"

"No one could tolerate something like this!" Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth.

"Huh...you, you are..." It was only at this moment that Keisuke realized that Misaka Mikoto looked 90% like Dolly, just like Dolly's older sister.

"I am Misaka Mikoto... Dolly is my clone..." Misaka Mikoto's face was full of gloom: "Anyway, let's go see her first!"

“Misaka Mikoto…” Keisuke clenched her fists, her emotions churning. Even her small fists were clenched, but she knew she couldn’t blame Misaka Mikoto; Misaka Mikoto was definitely a victim too.

She did see a page of information about the 'Mass Production Plan for the Railgun'.

……

Ding--

The elevator started making noise.

The police officer rushed out of the elevator first and headed towards Dolly's room.

"Dolly—"

Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, hurry up and catch up.

"I'll go control the researchers..." the two Misaki Shokuhou said in unison, then looked at each other without saying anything.

Misaki Shokuhou pursed her lips. She was originally locked up because of Keisaku Kanzaki. Dolly mistakenly thought that Keisaku Kanzaki saw the scars left by the experiments on her body and was afraid that she would not want to play with her, so she fell into inferiority and depression. That's why the researcher asked her to change Dolly's perception and pretend to be Keisaku Kanzaki.

At the time, she thought it was just to heal an ordinary girl with depression, but she didn't expect it was to make Dolly feel better and cooperate with the experiment.

She stole the feelings that should have belonged to Keisuke, and even if she went back to the past, she wouldn't know how to face Dolly.

In her heart, Dolly was her best and most sincere friend.

“Well, ‘I’…” Misaki Shokuhou’s voice trembled slightly.

"..." The young Misaki crossed her arms and sighed, "Even though I'm the older 'me,' I'm not as mature as you."

“I will get to know Dolly again, as a true friend.”

If she hadn't helped 'myself', I'm afraid 'I' would have been trapped in regret for the rest of my life. Isn't that what 'I' want to do now that I'm back in the present?

"Thank you, thank you," Misaki Shokuhou said gratefully.

"Hmph, what's the point of thanking yourself? Is it narcissism?" Young Misaki snorted, then walked nervously toward Dolly's room.

'Even though I didn't experience it myself, I'm still being influenced by my future self's memories. It's really frustrating.'

"This way, everything will start anew, right? When we go back, everything will be a brand new, happy future." Misaki Shokuhou clutched the hem of her clothes, feeling both nervous and expectant.

Chapter 367 Chairwoman Shokuhou Arrives at Her Loyal Council

The room's keypad door was opened.

The room was filled with children's toys. In the setting sun, the corner of the room was nine parts similar to Misaka Mikoto's, except that a younger girl sat on the floor with lifeless eyes, holding a glass jar containing mercury in her hands.

This glass jar was a gift from Jingze to her, intended to transform the mercury inside into lifelike fish.
