There will be street performers at this time, which is really an extraordinary thing.

It has already been careless once, and such an abnormal situation will naturally make people more vigilant.

However, the street performer in front of him does not seem to be much of an enemy.

Wearing a dark trench coat, a full beard, a big gentleman's hat, and the combination of three items hides the appearance of a street performer in the shadows.

The artist did not stop in front of Mikoto Misaka, and played the organ by himself, and finally disappeared into the night.

"Am I just careless?"

Looking at the artist's disappearing back, Mikoto Misaka muttered to herself.

However, the note left on the ground attracted her attention.

Seventeenth School District Industrial Development Waste Area.

Although it was only two short lines, Mikoto Misaka knew what it meant.

Mikoto Misaka, who has given her life to save Minato, has been prepared.

At this time, Chen Xiaofeng and they shouldn't know yet, right? If you told him the contents of this note, would his expression soften?

He will.

can get the news of his sister's whereabouts, Chen Xiaofeng's face must not show such a cold gaze again, right? But...... It's just that if that's the case, it doesn't make sense.

Because of Mikoto Misaka's relationship, Minato will be caught, and there will be this note that he knows is now...... Mikoto Misaka suddenly felt that she was the one who was burdened with such a deep sin, obviously it was her own fault, and she had already decided to bear it by herself, but at this moment, she still thought of Chen Xiaofeng.

However, the other party has now left the note to himself, which means that the other party must have no fear, not to mention that it is also in their hands, if they go, then ......

Such a sin...... Can I redeem it by myself? The consciousness of being ready to die is not the same as really facing death, and the body that was originally calm trembled again.

The lips have been bitten and white.

Self-blame, self-blame, self-blame.

Longing for forgiveness, longing for redemption.

Death, after all, is a terrible thing.

"Save Me ......"

Therefore.

Mikoto Misaka's cry for help, however, such a voice can only be shouted in places where no one hears.

The sounds of fear, wounds, and scars can only fade away in the darkness.

"Help me......"

The shout, which will never be heard, can't help but vent from Mikoto Misaka's mouth.

That's when ......

There was a sound of footsteps with a "click".

"Huh?"

Mikoto Misaka looked up and followed the voice.

It's on the bluestone slab aisle shrouded in darkness. There was no light source, only the light of the moon, which was as thin as a needle, reflected the space around the girl.

"What the hell are you struggling with?"

In the darkness, a familiar figure came to Mikoto Misaka's eyes.

It's like the male protagonist who heard the heroine's cry for help engulfed by darkness in a TV series, and immediately rushed over.

Under the night sky, Mikoto Misaka stood alone in a daze.

Chen Xiaofeng, who came to Misaka Mikoto, felt a headache when he saw Misaka Mikoto's appearance.

Mikoto Misaka's side face looks so fragile and tired, as if she has exhausted all her liliang, and it may pass away with the wind at any time. Compared with Mikoto Misaka, who was lively at the previous academy festival, it was even more heart-wrenching.

Therefore, Chen Xiaofeng was confused for a moment, not knowing whether to speak out or not, but it was not good after all.

"What the hell are you struggling with?"

Hearing the voice, Mikoto Misaka looked at Chen Xiaofeng's face.

"Tangled? I didn't bother with anything! I'm just thinking about making things up. ”

After meeting Chen Xiaofeng, Mikoto Misaka finally made up her mind. Go and rescue Minato by yourself, and use actions to Daoqian to Chen Xiaofeng.

However, Mikoto Misaka's thoughts, Chen Xiaofeng seemed to know.

"You're not going to go alone, are you?"

Mikoto Misaka's expression paused as if it was a machine malfunction, and she must not know what kind of expression she had on her face now.

Chen Xiaofeng understands Misaka Mikoto's character. After all, in the Celestial Empire, they are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side in the mall. Mikoto Misaka's personality, Chen Xiaofeng is understanding.

Chen Xiaofeng knew that Mikoto Misaka must blame herself for the reason for her disappearance, and then face it alone.

She was such a person a long time ago.

In the Celestial Empire, Mikoto Misaka will fulfill the request to the end, even at great risk. In order not to worry Chen Xiaofeng, he didn't even talk to Chen Xiaofeng about his actions in the Celestial Empire.

Everything is a girl who is alone on her shoulders...... Such a girl, how could Chen Xiaofeng let her bear such self-blame alone.

"I saw it, and the man left a note."

I read the note, but I didn't notify myself right away. Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaofeng was convinced of his thoughts. She must still want to carry it herself, just like she did to save her sisters in the first place.

"Alas...... How so...... How can you see it in such a dark situation? ”

As if trying to hide all her feelings, Mai Trin spoke.

"You must be joking, you must not have seen anything...... No, there is no such thing as a note. ”

Mikoto Misaka said casually, with a normal smile.

It was like a smile that gave up everything, which made Chen Xiaofeng feel particularly heartbroken.

"Okay, then I'll just ask you one question."

"What?" Faced with Mikoto Misaka's cheerful voice that she barely pretended, Chen Xiaofeng asked reflexively.

"After knowing that Minato is missing...... Do you hate me? Mikoto Misaka asked in an unusually cheerful voice.

Her voice was like a voice, I know you're here to condemn me, I know you're going to hate me, hate my conceit, hate my self-righteousness.

However, such a voice was extremely harsh in Chen Xiaofeng's ears.

"Stupid, how can I hate you."

The low voice, as if she was being oppressed, made Mikoto's face slightly surprised.

"Well, even if it's a lie, it's nice to hear someone say that."

Mikoto Misaka smiled.

Her eyes seemed to have given up on everything, as if she were looking at a distant dream. Ah, put your sister in danger of being a character...... How can you not hate such a person?

"I'm not lying." This sentence came out of Chen Xiaofeng's mouth reflexively.

"What...... What?" Mikoto Misaka asked with a frown, "Impossible...... You must want to know what's on the note, right? "I said I wasn't lying, don't you understand!"

Chen Xiaofeng stepped forward to support Mikoto Misaka's shoulder, and this action made her body shake.

"Listen, Mikoto Misaka, Minato's disappearance has nothing to do with you, if it were me, I would have made the same decision as you, and it was because she was the person who was important to me that she would keep her away from the battlefield...... If you're taking care of everything yourself just for reasons that have nothing to do with you, then you're a fool, a big fool! ”
