"It seems the blow she received was not an ordinary one!"
With this internal sigh, Yowane looked at Mikoto, who was noticeably more silent than usual. She could clearly see the confusion and sadness in her eyes. Yowane had only recognized this after experiencing so many worlds, and Shokuhou, who specialized in manipulating emotions, had already noticed it long ago. Therefore, the two of them weren't bickering at the moment.
However, Kuroko hadn't fully understood yet, because she had experienced too little. Coupled with Mikoto's intentional concealment, she could only sense that the other party had something on her mind and didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Sigh! After experiencing this darkness, she should grow quite a bit."
Looking at the pile of mental particles swirling before her eyes, each particle enveloped the consciousness of a Misaka Sister. From the very first one to the Sister who played with Mikoto that day, they were all here. They were now anxiously fluttering around Yowane, hoping that Yowane would comfort their 'Big Sister.' But Yowane was unmoved. For Mikoto right now, rather than comforting her, it was better to resolve all the issues first. Otherwise, she would still desperately seek death, just like in the original story.
"Misaka 00827 expresses some dissatisfaction that Big Sister Yowane ignored us and flies towards Big Sister to comfort her," Misaka said as she flew towards Big Sister.
"Misaka also thinks so. Misaka also wants to go comfort Big Sister," Misaka said, following behind Misaka 00827.
"Misaka plus one."
"Misaka plus two."
Suddenly, almost all the mental particles that had been flying around Yowane's head flew towards Mikoto. The people nearby stared dumbfounded at such a beautiful scene. The green light points were like a bridge, enveloping the two of them. However, this scene clearly enraged a certain Queen, who even crushed the phone in her hand.
"This! You, really."
Mikoto stared blankly at the familiar light points around her, then looked in Yowane's direction, a look of relief on her face. Her originally cold heart warmed slightly, but this only strengthened her resolve not to involve her friends.
"Even if you guys run over there, she won't be able to hear you at all," Yowane sighed, looking at the light points (Misaka Sisters) surrounding Mikoto.
Only she knew her own mental strength; unless there was an existence with stronger mental power than her, the Misaka Sisters' expressions would not be heard.
"How dare they play like this?"
Feeling instantly slapped in the face, Yowane looked incredulously at the Misaka Sisters within the mental particles. Through the shared nature of the Misaka Network, they used their advantage to rearrange these scattered particles, forming words in the air.
"I love you the most."
These were the words written by the Misaka Sisters, but in the eyes of others, it looked like Yowane was making a fancy confession to Mikoto!
"How can this be? I was here first! Whether it's the time we spent together or the depth of my affection, I was first, okay? Yowane, you big idiot!"
"Hey! Listen to me!"
"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't! Waaah~~~"
The usually mature and dignified Queen Shokuhou ran out in tears, not even wanting to hear Yowane's explanation.
"Uh, this, I…"
Mikoto, whose head couldn't process this sudden turn of events, was now flushed pink, like a young girl in love grappling with her feelings. She fidgeted, completely lacking her usual heroic demeanor. Finally, Mikoto, overcome with shyness, also ran out, leaving only a conflicted Yowane and a petrified Kuroko.
The next day, news of Academy City's idol and fourth-ranked Railgun cheating spread throughout the center of Tokiwadai, and her partners were the fifth and third-ranked espers. This made the young ladies who had a slight fantasy about Yowane unable to suppress their lonely hearts, and they began sending Yowane love letters and secret glances.
"This, what the hell! Did I offend someone? Why am I so unlucky?"
Yowane looked at a pile of colorful letters, enough to bake sweet potatoes, feeling a headache coming on. But this was also her own fault. Currently, the Misaka Sisters were grounded by Yowane for reflection, feeling apologetic for causing her trouble.
"Could it be because I copied Imagine Breaker?"
Suddenly remembering this ability, Yowane's expression changed instantly. If that was the case, it would make sense, but she still needed to test it. For example, by buying a lottery ticket to see if she really needed to cut off her hand. Otherwise, she would probably encounter more trouble in the future.
Ten minutes later, Yowane looked at the first-prize winning ticket in her hand with a relieved expression. Fortunately, she hadn't been affected. Otherwise, even cutting off her hand wouldn't solve such a problem. Luck was still very important, after all, not all lancers had E-rank luck; some could still survive.
Compared to Yowane, who was worried about whether her luck would decrease due to the ability's influence, Mikoto was not so relaxed at this moment. She used her ability to hack into a computer and began to search, using the password given by the Misaka Sisters as a clue. The result was the discovery of the inhumane human experiments.
"How could this be?"
Mikoto's eyes widened as she stared incredulously at the data displayed on the small screen. If Accelerator killed Railgun (Misaka Mikoto) 128 times in 128 different battlefields, he could evolve into an Absolute Esper (Level 6). However, because it was impossible to prepare 128 Railguns, the experiment targeted the "Misaka Sisters" from the concurrently running "Mass Production Esper Plan." Since the abilities of the mass-produced "Misaka Sisters" were less than 1% of their original, Railgun—that is, Level 2—according to the calculations of the Tree Diagram, preparing 20,000 battlefields and 20,000 "Misaka Sisters" could achieve the same goal, allowing Accelerator to evolve into an Absolute Esper (Level 6). This plan was called the 'Absolute Esper Evolution Project'.
The item in her hand slipped and fell to the ground. Mikoto felt the malice of the world at that moment. It was impossible for the higher-ups not to know about such a massive experiment, which meant they had tacitly approved it. Without her knowledge, over ten thousand Misaka Sisters had already died at the hands of that white-haired individual.
"Then, the enemy is the entire city."
Coming out of the phone booth, Mikoto looked up at the surrounding high-rise buildings. Her previously bewildered heart was now filled with a surge of anger. If she could, she truly wanted to break into the Board of Directors, grab these people by the neck, and ask them, 'How could you possibly go through with such inhumane experiments? They are all living beings.'
"I need to do something."
Mikoto, with faint electricity swirling around her, walked into a dark alley. Tonight was destined to be a restless night.
