Paper documents were burning in the brazier.
"What are you doing here?"
The Soul Chaser appeared beside Chiyo at some point. He looked at the documents in Chiyo's hand with a slight surprise and said, "I used some connections to get this information."
“Hmm.” Chiyo nodded and said, “But it’s no use now. Those who were going to get on the road have already done so, and those who were going to suffer losses have already suffered losses. With all this commotion these past few days, even a fool would have finished moving everything by now. What’s left is of little value.”
In fact, apart from the person in the story who abducted Last Order and the old man Kihara who might not have been able to be killed, everyone else who participated in the core experiment was killed.
Because there aren't many core members, and the reason for keeping that one around was that if Accelerator was redeemed, then according to the original storyline, he would be kept alive to cause trouble for Accelerator.
Therefore, once the kill list is cleared out, there is no need to keep it.
As for those research institutions, seven days is more than enough time for them to relocate, given the reaction speed and operational capabilities of modern society. Even if they can't move everything, they can pack up the important items and take the rest, which aren't of much value. The only loss from the demolition would be an office building; they might even thank me for helping them complete the relocation, saving me a considerable amount of demolition costs.
Chiyo certainly wouldn't attack the rest; she would wait.
There's been a lot of commotion lately, so she needs to keep things quiet for a while so that these people feel safe, don't need to move, and can come back with peace of mind.
Then launch a surprise attack; the losses will be the most significant then.
Furthermore, she decided to meet the Misaka Sisters, so her experiences will shift to them for the next period of time.
Meanwhile, the plot is progressing, and there will be some comments from the Dragon King. It seems that the new roommate in early spring should be arriving soon, right?
They're pretty busy, it'd be good to let them relax a bit, or better yet, completely relax.
“Speaking of which,” said Mingtu Zhuihun, glancing at Chiyo’s hands, “a patient was brought in today. He’s in a terrible state, and his abilities are quite troublesome. He’s on the verge of death and it’s very difficult to save him.”
Without looking up, Chiyo asked, "Is there any risk of him being saved?"
"He's been saved." The Soul Chaser of the Underworld said somewhat displeased, "Are you questioning my medical skills?"
Even if I guessed it, I was still a little unhappy to be asked that.
"Oh..." Chiyo nodded and threw some more documents into the brazier.
Chiyo's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it could have been slapped to death. The first slap hadn't killed him, and he still had the energy to jump up and yell. Chiyo knew that even villains were hard to kill until they were about to die.
But it doesn't matter, killing too easily is actually quite boring, and there's a saying that life is worse than death.
As for future whitewashing and redemption, we'll talk about that after you've cleared your name.
"Where is he?" Chiyo asked, standing up and clapping her hands after burning down the last of the data.
"This is a hospital," Mingtu Zhuihun sighed.
"I know, I won't kill..."
Just as Chiyo was about to explain, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Do you need volunteers here?"
"Huh?" The Soul Chaser of the Underworld was a little confused.
"If you recommended me, I can."
“Hmm…” Chiyo thought for a moment and then said, “Not here. You know a hospital that’s far from the Seventh School District and they need volunteers.”
"By the way, the best hospital is one that specializes in treating those rare and difficult-to-treat diseases, those who are half-dead and about to die."
"Do you know anyone at a funeral home? A funeral home that needs volunteers?"
Chapter 142 Some People Are Very Resilient
I don't know if it's the skill of the Underworld Soul Chaser or the good physique of Accelerator.
Anyway, he woke up faster than expected.
He would be willing to remain unconscious a little longer if he could.
After all, the first thing you see when you open your eyes is someone who has beaten you up like this; the feeling can't even be described as terrible.
It's actually very bad.
"Oh my god." Chiyo said with a forced smile, "You're awake? The doctor said you wouldn't wake up until tomorrow, so I came to check on you. I didn't expect you to be awake."
What a surprise! Chiyo swore she was not waiting for Accelerator; she was just passing by and took a look.
"You're like a doll."
Accelerator wanted to say something harsh, so he stared at Chiyo with his round eyes and said fiercely, "What are you doing here?"
"Why can't I be here?" Chiyo countered. "Or rather, I've always been here."
"I've been recuperating in the hospital ever since I survived my near-death experience, and I only went out this year."
"A narrow escape from death?" Accelerator grasped the key point of the words.
Shouldn't it be a clone that will defeat itself in the future? How did it become a miraculous escape from death? Those who experimented on themselves were all completely dead, even their ashes were gone. Where did this talk of escaping death come from?
"I am not the clone in your experimental plan." Chiyo explained, "To be precise, I am related to you, but I am not the clone that is planned to be experimented on with you. I am the first Misaka clone, with the medical examination number 0. My existence is for the purpose of researching cloning technology. The Misaka clone you are facing now is not so much a clone of Misaka Mikoto, but rather a Misaka clone designed and manufactured based on my research data as the first Misaka clone."
“Misaka Mikoto is the one who provided the DNA, while I provided all the technical data and experience except for the DNA, so in essence, I should be considered the older sister of all the Misaka clones.”
Theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case. Misaka Mikoto was merely the one who provided the DNA, and the subsequent Misaka clones were not actually created based on Misaka Mikoto.
They were created based on Misaka Chiyo; they are not essentially weaker versions of Misaka Mikoto, but rather weaker versions of Misaka Chiyo.
Or perhaps it's a degraded version of Misaka Dollie.
“It’s normal that they can’t beat you,” Chiyo said, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. “But your arrogance is the root of your problem.”
"How did you manage to hit me?" Accelerator gritted his teeth.
So what if he's the first Misaka clone? He didn't care at all; all he cared about was how this guy broke through his defenses.
"Guess." Chiyo didn't want to answer, nor did she have the obligation to.
Accelerator stared intently at Chiyo, thinking for a moment before suddenly realizing, "You know my ability. When you change direction, you also change direction, turning an attack into a retreat. But because of my ability, the retreat was automatically turned back into an attack?!"
Accelerator truly lives up to his name; he's not only incredibly capable, but also incredibly intelligent.
Knowing that Chiyo was the first Misaka clone, and that all subsequent clones were based on her, means that she is different from the other Misakas. In the research on her, the researchers may have also revealed their abilities.
She took advantage of knowing her own abilities while being unaware of this fact, and used this seemingly bug-like bug through extremely precise control!
Or rather, she used her precise control to forcibly create a bug in herself!
Accelerator thought about it carefully and couldn't help but gasp.
Sha~ Sha~ Sha~
painful.
Therefore, Chiyo used an almost identical method to iron two copper wires directly onto the exposed skin of his body.
The power was then switched on.
The ability to pass through one side is then disabled.
Although it was only for a moment, it was truly terrifying.
"What are you going to do?!"
Accelerator has never encountered anyone like this before. Even if he calls himself a villain, he wouldn't, at least not in a hospital.
“Let’s test it out,” Chiyo said. “It’s just one of the plans I’m devising to defeat you: using alternating current on you.”
"Actually, I have many more ideas to beat you. If you'd like, you can call me the Idea King, and then I'll try them all on you one by one."
'May I call you the Living Yama?'
Accelerator was so angry.
But you have to be patient.
Having already learned from past mistakes, he didn't want to become a cautionary tale for others, especially since the cautionary tale was his own.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Accelerator barely managed to hold back his outburst, his teeth almost bleeding from clenching them.
The sound came from between his teeth, with an indistinct trailing tone.
"Um..."
Chiyo leaned against the wall again and thought for a moment. She didn't answer Accelerator's question immediately, as if she was considering something.
In reality, Chiyo was just passing by and came to secretly admire her masterpiece.
The saying goes that a smile makes you ten years younger. Although she herself can no longer smile, she still feels genuinely happy when she sees Accelerator's miserable state.
Now Chiyo is seriously considering what to ask.
Since we've already come all this way and put everyone through this ordeal, we can't just say it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, can we?
You should at least ask something, right?
What are you asking? About my sister? My sisters from the past are all dead, so there's no point in asking. As for the remaining sisters, it's very difficult for me to meet them now.
Well, if it were that simple, then this wouldn't be my responsibility to handle it, right?
After a short while, he asked, "Will the experiment stop? For how long? When will it resume? Where will it be held?"
I feel this is an opportunity, an opportunity given by God.
Since the decision has been made, let's take the initiative.
"Heh~" Accelerator immediately guessed Chiyo's thoughts and said, "You're concerned about them? If you're so concerned, why don't you just kill me?"
Do you think I didn't want to kill you?
Chiyo countered with a question.
“Isn’t that right?” Accelerator seemed to have seen through everything and said, “You don’t actually want to save those clones, you don’t actually want to get involved in this matter, you don’t want to see me, and you don’t want to see them. Your idea is actually to avoid everything, bury the past, and start over as Misaka Chiyo now.”
"And you met me, so you have to face the past again, face your identity, face them. You just want to make your so-called conscience feel at ease. It seems like you're obstructing me, but you still want me to kill them all."
"Hahahaha~" Accelerator laughed loudly, mockingly saying, "Then you can say that you actually tried but failed. Actually, you and I are the same, both villains, both bastards, both evil people who are making excuses."
"Hahaha~ You're just trying to provoke me so I'll go after those dolls for revenge."
Chiyo looked at Accelerator's smile without answering. She walked to the foot of the bed, shook Accelerator up, and made him look at her.
Then he took the IV stand from the corner of the ward.
“Imagine the top of this support is your head,” Chiyo said, pointing to the cross-shaped support above and then to the pole. “Imagine this is your neck.”
Accelerator frowned slightly, his face, which had become noticeably fatter from the beating, showing a hint of confusion.
He really couldn't understand this clone anymore.
Shouldn't this be a time for rebuttal? For cursing? Even if you don't want to yell in the hospital, isn't that an explanation?
No, that's what she's trying to explain. But what is she explaining?
"Pound~"
The next second, Chiyo slapped the pole, and the pole snapped into three pieces.
Moreover, it is folded in three sections, with the bottom section facing the direction Chiyo was fanning, the middle section being exactly the width of Chiyo's palm, and the top section, including the cross-shaped hanging bracket, being reversed as if it were drooping its head and tilting.
“Look,” Chiyo said, pointing at the pole. “Do you think your neck is as hard as an iron bar? Do you think your skin and flesh have the toughness of an iron bar? Under normal circumstances, my slap wouldn’t send a person flying. The most likely scenario is a broken neck, twisted into a pretzel shape, or your head being knocked off.”
"But you didn't. You fell because you were doing gymnastics with your head and neck, and you only have a swollen face. There are no fatal injuries."
Chiyo pointed at Accelerator's chest and said, "My kick was powerful enough to kill you instantly, even though it lost a lot of kinetic energy due to the moment of contact and the retraction to counteract inertia. You were sent flying backward and suffered a fatal injury but didn't die."
"Besides, you didn't have someone come to help you immediately. I was the one who beat you up and then I was sent away. Normally, if things had gotten to that point, you should have died on the way."
Chiyo sneered and said, "But you didn't die. You're alive and well, though it's a miserable life."
“You…” Accelerator also realized the meaning behind Chiyo’s words.
It seems to make sense. It's hard to say whether it was a slap or not, but it's true that it made him dizzy and fall to the ground. That kick was also very powerful, enough to send him flying like a cannonball.
Accelerator has some understanding of his own body. He is skinny due to lack of exercise, but his strength lies in his abilities. Without those abilities, he is basically a weakling.
“You may not know this,” Chiyo said, “but I do know that there are some people in this world who are very resilient. Their fates are very special. In my words, they are the chosen ones who are protected by the Heavenly Dao’s fortune. Whether they are good or bad, they are protected by the fortune. Of course, you could also say that their fates are extremely special, and they bear some huge karma. When fate requires them to die, even gods cannot save them. When fate wants them to live, even if you use all your strength, you are powerless.”
"And you, Accelerator, you belong to that kind of person. If I could kill you, you would be a skeleton in a grave by now. The fact that you are lying here is not because I didn't kill you, but because I failed."
"Actually, I really wanted to kill you at first, and I even tried, but I didn't succeed. I was just passing by here. But now I've changed my mind."
"How about we try working together?"
