Chapter 290: Absolute Ability Evolution Plan
The date beats in the screen of the phone at a rate of one tick in twenty-four hours.
After the end of the midsummer festival,The school city has returned to its former peace.,People who enjoy summer vacation life continue to enjoy.,People who struggle in summer cram schools are still strivers.γ The unfortunate Shangjo Dangma is blessed with the peach blossom physique, and is still sinking in bad luck and beauty.
And Mikoto Misaka and her friends are also deepening their friendship in one incident after another, tasting the taste of youth and the beauty of battle.
Until a girl with military goggles and short brown hair appeared in front of Mikoto Misaka.
Mikoto Misaka's calm heart set off monstrous waves!
Military clone, Misaka 9982!
Aresta's plan to spread the Misaka network around the world has long since been scrapped, but that doesn't mean that the 'Absolute Ability Evolution Project' has been frozen permanently.
In the final analysis, Aresta was just the mastermind and promoter behind the whole incident, and was not substantially involved in the whole plan. And in the eyes of Kihara Phantage and the others, who carried out the 'Absolute Ability Evolution Project', they are everything in the plan, and they are the ultimate beneficiaries of this plan. So even if Aresta ordered them to stop the plan, they wouldn't necessarily actually carry it out!
Aresta didn't do that, he just pulled away from the whole plan, erased the traces of his presence in the plan, and then didn't move.
This also caused Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 9982 to meet unexpectedly, and then learned about the 'Mass Production Ability Project' and the 'Absolute Ability Evolution Project' born from it!
"The origin of all the killings comes from the DNA profile that I donated at Higuchi Pharmaceutical, and in the end, it's me who is at fault!"
Under the bright street lamp, in a phone booth next to the street, Mikoto Misaka looked at the words on the screen without any emotion, but her brain was dizzy!
She clearly felt that under those words, the corpses of nearly 10,000 young girls were hidden, and they looked at her desperately and helplessly with their eyes without the slightest brilliance, and condemned her over and over again with cold eyes!
That's her replicants, and her sisters!
Pinyu University DNA Map Analysis Research Institute, Magnetic Gas Anomaly Research Institute, Western Medical Research Institute, Biochemical Medicine Research Cell Research Institute, Animal Research Thinking Ability Research Institute...... With more than 20 research facilities participating in this experiment, do you really think that profit is more important than life? Well, I understand that the project must be terminated, and I will not hesitate to do so, even if my hands are stained with your blood! β
Mikoto Misaka stared coldly at the name of the research facility on the screen about the participation in the 'Absolute Ability Project', and at this moment she was no longer the childish girl who carried out justice and kindness, but a beast that was consumed by anger and self-blame.
If there is one word to describe Mikoto Misaka's state at this moment, it is - blackening!
After determining the location of the research facility, the blackened version of Mikoto Misaka used her ability to turn her body into a magnet and attach it to the wall containing the steel structure, and galloped towards the research facility in the form of a cornice walking wall, and soon after, she came to the first target, the DNA Map Analysis Institute affiliated with Shinayu University!
Immediately after, there was a dazzling thunder light!
One billion volts of electricity flowed through the building, computers were destroyed, and electricity-related instruments were at the end of their lives. Then, the conductor that exploded because it did not carry enough powerful energy turned into a hot energy stream and destroyed everything in the vicinity, tables, chairs, glass, floors, ...... Even the walls!
In an instant, the explosion continued from the first floor of the building to the last floor, and in the piercing siren, a black pillar of smoke appeared under the night sky of the school city, reflecting an ominous color by the lights of the surrounding buildings!
This night,Six buildings in the school city were attackedγ When the Discipline Inspector heard the news, he was told that it was the building itself. Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a man-made incident, because the parties concerned do not pursue it, it will not be resolved in the end.
And Misaka Mei, who had been running all night, dragged her tired body back to the dormitory, posing as if nothing had happened. Although Shirai Kuroko noticed a trace of abnormality, she saw that Misaka didn't mean to discuss with her, so she didn't ask too much.
In this way, the days passed, and the attacks continued to occur every night. Misaka's repeated early departures and late returns have made Shirai's heart more and more uneasy, and she has vaguely linked 'my sister only comes back early every morning' and 'attacks happen every night'.
Finally, on the occasion of August 19th, Shirai, who couldn't suppress his inner turmoil, hid from his sister and came to Saten's dormitory.
"I need your help!"
As soon as they met, before they entered the door, Shirai said his request.
"Shirai-san, what's wrong with you?"
Saten blinked suspiciously, Shirai is a type who does not ask for help easily, and in her impression, it is the first time to bend down and pray in front of people like now!
Shirai didn't enter the door either, and when he stood at the door, he began to explain the reason from the beginning: "Sister-sama is a little abnormal...... No, not somewhat, since August 15th, my sister seems to be a different person! Although I went to cram school as usual and ate my favorite food as usual, I felt that my sister's spirit seemed to be on the verge of some kind of collapse! I'm afraid that if this continues, my sister will not be able to bear it and something will happen that we don't expect! β
"Is Misaka-san's abnormality?"
Saten lowered his head and pondered: "Actually, in the past few days, I have also felt that something is wrong with Misaka-san, but I don't know what caused Misaka-san to become like this. Shirai-san, you're Misaka-san's roommate, you should know some reasons, right? β
Hearing Zuotian's words, Shirai seemed to recall something bad, and his face turned a little pale: "My sister has never mentioned this matter to me, but there is a conjecture that lingers in my mind. If that conjecture was true, it would be the last thing I wanted to see, and it was the most terrible scene! β
Zuo Tian's face also became serious: "It seems that things are really tricky, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me!" That conjecture must have been answered in your mind, right...... Say, what do you want me to do? β
"Stalk my sister!"
β¦β¦
Using the ability continuously for four days, and having little time to rest, even a superpowered person can't bear it. On the fifth night, through the faint moonlight on the roof of the hotel, Mikoto Misaka's haggard face was faintly visible under the brim of her hat.
"It's all worth it, though. As long as these two research facilities are eliminated, the plan of the Absolute Capable will collapse, and the lives of the remaining 10,000 people will be saved! β
Lowering the brim of her hat, Mikoto Misaka, who was talking to herself, looked back in the direction of the dormitory, and her gaze instantly became cold. Then, he jumped from the roof of the building, and with the magnetic pull of electrical conversion, he glided towards the Institute of Pathology Analysis of the Mizuho Mechanism, one of the only two remaining research facilities.
Behind her, Zuotian's figure flashed.
At this time, in the Mizuho Institute of Pathology, Flanda Seviren, who had finished arranging the explosives, was lying on the piled up of puppet bombs like a hill, rolling around, imagining how the reward would be best spent if the intruder chose to guard this facility by herself, and she had no idea what a powerful enemy she would face!
And not far from that enemy, there was another enemy that she would not be able to defeat!
Half an hour later, the windmill near the Institute of Pathology of the Mizuho Institute rotated in the opposite direction, and in a burst of electric light, Mikoto Misaka fell from the sky!
Soon after, a pair of white wings in the sky turned into a rain of flowers, and after the rain of flowers fell, the figure of Saten, who was hidden in it, slowly appeared. Looking around, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and he entered the interior of the research institute.
The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the institute is a long passage. The area around the passage is empty, and the place where the objects were originally placed, at this time, only traces of the existence of objects remain, and the yellow lines that spread into the inner wall of the passage give people the feeling of entering a trap.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zuo Tian couldn't help frowning, and said secretly in his heart: "There is no research facility that should have been brightly lit at this time, but there is no one at this time, and the faint smell of gunpowder remaining in the air, and the yellow lines that are obviously newly drawn and useless. Misaka-san, what are you hiding from us? β
"Boom~"
At this moment, an explosion was heard at the end of the passage, interrupting Zuotian's thoughts.
"Gunpowder, explosions, power generation capacity and other people's AIM fluctuations, this is the taste of battle! Who is Misaka-san fighting against? β
While guessing what was happening and being wary of his surroundings, Saten quickly rushed in the direction from which the sound came from, and soon came to an underground facility.
The flames of the explosion were accompanied by thick smoke and heat waves, electric light thunderbolts, the sound of steel rubbing against the ground echoed in the open space, and the fire line flashed from time to time, this is the scene presented in front of Zuotian's eyes after walking out of the passage!
"Well, what a dangerous and hilarious scene! But...... Misaka-san, can't you even deal with an enemy of this level? Or are you observing? β
Seeing that Misaka was in an unfavorable situation, Saten had no intention of helping, but hid in the shadows, observing the development of the situation while looking for the enemy who was fighting Misaka.
As one of Misaka's few friends, Saten knew that Misaka's strength was far from being as weak as he appeared at the moment. In contrast, it is better to look for enemies hiding in the shadows and then take the initiative.
Soon, she found the enemy behind a load-bearing pillar - a slender and petite blonde girl with snow-white skin!
