Xia Qianshi, who pretended to be an ordinary high school student, led Saten Tears and Misaka Mikoto to the place where Mikoto Misaka was standing just now.

Then he muttered with a simple and unpretentious face: "I was here just now, why did I suddenly disappear?" ”

With a complicated face that didn't know whether it was relieved or even more gloomy, Mikoto Misaka said, "That...... Maybe you're mistaken. ”

"I was absolutely not mistaken!" Xia Qianshi said with great certainty: "I'm pretty sure that just a minute ago, she was still standing here. ”

"Speaking of which......" Saten Tears added, "I've seen a figure similar to Misaka-senpai before." ”

“……！”

Xia Qianshi noticed very obviously that Mikoto Misaka's hands were clenched tightly, but they quickly let go slowly.

"Even if they look alike, it's not surprising."

As if to hide her uneasiness, Mikoto Misaka tried her best to squeeze out a smile on her face, with a look of nonchalance:

"There are so many people in the world, and occasionally there are one or two who look alike, it's not incomprehensible, right?"

Zuo Tian tearfully nodded: "That's true, that's right." ”

"Well, that's the truth of the matter!"

Mikoto Misaka put the matter to rest.

"It's really troublesome.,There's a person who looks so much like me in the school city.,It seems that I have to find her as soon as possible.,Have a good chat with her.,Otherwise, if she does bad things with my face,,It's a big trouble...... According to this senior, she should have just left here, right? ”

After saying such a lot of words a little verbose, Mikoto Misaka made an apologetic gesture towards Saten Tears:

"I'm sorry, Saten-san, it seems that I have to find that person as soon as possible...... Since you and this senior know each other and have a common hobby, let him accompany you for a while, then, goodbye! ”

After saying that, Mikoto Misaka threw off her arms and ran quickly towards the other end of the alleyway.

……

……

"Ha ah~ha ah~"

As if to shake off the uneasiness in her heart, Mikoto Misaka ran as hard as she could.

(Hey, did you hear that?) School City is secretly planning to copy the lv5 ability.。 ）

"Impossible!"

(It seems to be mass-produced as a military weapon.) ）

"Absolutely impossible!"

(But the school city only has 7 lv5.,Who will copy?) ）

"It's just a boring guess from those people!"

(I've heard of this that the copied lv5 is the 'super electromagnetic gun'.) ）

"No matter how you say it, a clone can't be made out of nothing, if you want to make a clone of me, you have to have my DNA, I've never given this kind of thing to anyone else, but it's ......"

Desperately denying the rumors he had heard in his heart, but at this moment, Mikoto Misaka remembered a dream she had last night.

The content of the dream is a memory that happened about ten years ago.

"If you use your abilities, maybe you can help him and the same patients, would you like to provide us with your DNA map?"

In a large hospital, a doctor in a white coat said this to Mikoto Misaka, who was only five years old at the time.

When they said this, their eyes were fixed on a teenager who kept exercising himself in the rehabilitation facility downstairs, but kept falling.

Muscular dystrophy.

This is the name of the disease that the teenager suffers from.

This world-class incurable disease,Even with the medical level of the school city,There's no cure at all.。

But as the doctor said, if Mikoto Misaka's electric shock power can be used to stimulate their muscles, maybe they will recover one day.

Mikoto Misaka, who understands this very well, looked at the young man who fell again and again but kept getting up and fighting for his fate, she first overflowed tears of emotion in the corners of her eyes, and then nodded vigorously to the doctor:

"Hmm!"

……

"However, that was ten years ago, and I wasn't LV5 at all, so no matter what you think, it was impossible for DNA to be used to make military weapons at that time, right? It must have been applied to the medical field, right? ”

Despite trying so hard to comfort herself in her heart, Mikoto Misaka's uneasiness became heavier and heavier.

To be honest, she didn't know where she was supposed to go, and she was running so desperately like she was now, and she just felt that she should do something so that she wouldn't be swallowed up by the anxiety in her heart, right?

I don't know how long she ran, until she felt a burning pain in her lungs, she stopped, gasping for air.

At that moment, a voice reached her ears from the alley.

"Really, I went into Zone E to pee ......"

(What the hell am I doing?) Have you all run aimlessly to Area E? Forget it, go back. ）

The people who were talking in the alleyway were four delinquent teenagers, but Mikoto Misaka didn't have the heart to teach them a lesson now, and after sighing, she was ready to leave.

However, the other party's next conversation made her can't help but stop.

"At that time, I saw a woman with this cash card, so I followed her, and then she entered a complex in Area C, which must have been the base camp."

"Only one woman?"

"There should be accomplices, right?"

"I did investigate, and there really is only one woman."

"Go check it out, if it's true, you can make a lot of money."

“……”

(Tsk, in that case, there's no way to ignore it.) ）

Whether it was to stop these delinquent teenagers from bullying girls, or out of curiosity about the cash card incident, Mikoto Misaka decided to keep up with these delinquent teenagers.

……

The final destination is a seemingly abandoned building, where Mikoto Misaka sees a pretty good show.

A girl with short dark blue shoulder-length hair defeated four armed incapacitated people without using any abilities, using only words and narcotics.

However, the next conversation with her made Mikoto Misaka fall into deeper doubts and uneasiness.

The blue-haired girl who used the 'original' to refer to Mikoto Misaka said:

"If you're here for the cash card incident, then I'm sorry to tell you, although I did have a part in this incident, but-"

The blue-haired girl seems to have a special habit of mixing English in her discourse:

"I wasn't the first initiator.,But it's a good way to put the cash card in all sorts of inaccessible places.,Use it to eliminate the dead spots in the school city.,Maybe stop the experiments going on in the dark alleys.。
