A mob of clones

Chapter 729 Misaka Mikoto: Emergency!
In the world of Magical Index, Academy City, District 7, Tokiwadai Junior High School.

Academy City time, 8:37 pm.

At this time, the dorm supervisor had already checked the dormitory. Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko were lying on their beds. Although it was not yet time to go to bed, the two of them had been playing outside all day and obviously did not have much desire to talk.

Especially Misaka Mikoto.

She tossed and turned in her bed but couldn't fall asleep. The scenes of her experiences with the Majina no Index Kiriga kept flashing through her mind, and she recalled that feeling.

At the same time, I recalled the so-called aim stance incarnation of the Magic Index Kirikawa at the end of the bank robbery this afternoon.

She kept comparing the differences between the two, and then suddenly sat up from the bed.

Then her movements naturally attracted the attention of Shirai Kuroko.

But this time, before Shirai Kuroko could react, Misaka Mikoto jumped directly onto her bed, held her shoulders and said excitedly:

"I know! It's the aim's position! It's the aim's position!"

"Those who can't see are staying with Wuhe in the form of an aim position!"

"Kuroko, do you know of a tool that can show the aim's position?"

Looking at the excited Misaka Mikoto in front of her, Shirai Kuroko felt a little dizzy.

Seeing that her elder sister had arrived so late and was still thinking about the ape uncle, she felt a little unhappy for a moment.

But looking at her sister's sparkling eyes, she couldn't refuse. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't think of any props.

But she did remember the name of an ability she had heard before...

"Sister, have you ever heard of a superpower called ability tracking?"

……

At 8:47 a.m. Academy City time, with the help of Shirai Kuroko's ability to move through space, Misaka Mikoto walked out of the dormitory of Tokiwadai Junior High School.

She did not return home that night, and no one except herself knew what she had done...

……

The time came to July 17th, and only one day had passed.

morning.

As usual, when she walked out of her house to go to Changdian Computer Academy, Kirikawa once again met a familiar face at the gate of the academy.

But this time it’s not Futsuka Toshinori, nor Kamijou Touma, nor Misaka Mikoto.

This time, the one that arrived is...

"Saten-san, why are you here?"

Looking at the girl with long straight black hair wearing a five-petal white plum-shaped flower ornament standing in front of her at the entrance of the Changdian Machine Academy, Majin Kirikawa extended her hand and greeted her with a smile:

"Are you here to join my institute?"

The question from Magic Index Kirikawa was somewhat joking, but Saten Ruiko on the other side nodded seriously and said with trepidation:

"Yes!"

"I came here at your invitation, Senior. You won't despise me, right?"

As he said this, he showed a pitiful expression to the Magic Index Kirikawa.

Seeing this, Magic Index Kirikawa couldn't help but smile and nodded:

"Since Saten-san came to my research institute to give me face, how could I possibly dislike him?"

Majinajin Kirikawa smiled and opened the door of Changdian Shangji Academy, then stretched out her hand to signal Saten Ruiko to follow him.

In response to this, the beautiful girl with long black hair nodded obediently and followed.

Just like Kamijou Touma did in the past, he entered the research institute, and after completing the registration, he would start the normal process.

Magical Index Kirikawa knows that Ruiko's personal reality is an updraft.

So it was easy to develop. Majina no Index Kirikawa instructed her first, telling her to imagine that her body was like a wind spirit slowly floating up, and let her feel it first.

Then I prepared to use my personal phase to create some specialized three-dimensional crystals.

Improving one's ability level is no longer a difficult task for Magical Index Kirikawa.

For example, after the last Absolute Power User Evolution Plan was completed, Magical Index Kirikawa used his own means to upgrade his old father and mother's superpowers to LV5.

Of course, such an improvement will be marked with a very distinctive personal label.

Rather than saying it is his own superpower, it is better to say that it is a divine art emitted by the Magical Index Kiriga.

But for those who desire powers, does it really matter whether it is divine magic or superpowers?
Majin Kirikawa shook his head and stretched out his hand to condense some body crystals.

But at this moment, something surprising happened to him.

Suddenly, a slight whirlwind appeared in front of Riri Saotome, and then it grew bigger and bigger, sweeping across the entire experimental table in a blink of an eye.

Even the white coat worn by Majin no Index Kirikawa was rustling violently due to the strong wind.

And Riri Saotome obviously felt the presence of the strong wind and opened her eyes in disbelief. Without the guidance of her ability, the whirlwind covering the entire experimental table slowly disappeared.

But Riri Saotome just raised her hand slightly, and the tornado appeared again.

Although it was her first time using it, Riri Saotome knew that this was her personal reality.

He raised his hand to form a whirlwind, then put it down and the whirlwind dissipated.

Raise your hand and let go, raise your hand and let go...

Riri Saotome repeated this process more than ten times.

The whole process took only a few dozen seconds. When she raised her head and looked at the Magical Index Mist River again, her eyes had begun to turn slightly red and her voice was trembling.

"Successful, Senior, I succeeded..."

"This is my ability. I am no longer powerless..."

"I succeeded. I came to Academy City not to just waste time, but for a purpose!"

At this moment, Riri Saotome's nose felt a little sore, which was the soreness of excitement.

Although she didn't understand that she was in other places, schools, other research institutes, and at home...

No matter how I tried, I couldn't succeed. Why did it happen as soon as I came to my senior?

Everything before her eyes might be false. It might be an illusion created for her by the senior in front of her. Maybe this power does not belong to her.

But no matter what, she enjoys the moment and she is happy for the moment.

As for Riri Saten's joy, Maga no Index Kirikawa reached out and touched her head to encourage her.

However, deep in his heart, Magical Index Kirikawa had already frowned deeply.

The condition of Riri Saten in front of him was clearly the symptom of being hit by the Illusion Hand.

But the other party’s situation is not yet known outside the school gate!

"Is there anyone playing Fantasy Royal Hands at school?"

Don't be fooled by the fact that Magical Index Kirikawa's body is still in front of Saten Ruiko at this time, but he is already multitasking.

An avatar with spatial ability seized from yesterday's robbers, which was transformed into an avatar that was now heading to the broadcasting office.

The other aim standpoint incarnation has actually followed Riri Saotome in front of him and drilled into the stitched together personal phase.

However, just as Magic Index Kirikawa entered those stitched personal phases, he found that these phases were torn apart again.

The Fantasy Royal Hand was stopped again.

It seemed that someone could detect when he entered the personal phase, and in order to prevent him from following the clues, the connection would be cut off every time he entered.

Magical Index Kirikawa opened his eyes slightly again.

The Riri Saten in front of him was still experimenting with her abilities.

However, the connection between the Fantasy Hand and her ability to control it dropped sharply.

The strong wind that could have swept the entire laboratory was now just a breeze swirling around her hands, almost invisible and difficult to feel.

A feeling of loss instantly covered Saten Ruiko's face.

In response, Majin Kirikawa reached out and touched his head to comfort him, then thought about it in his mind.

It only took a little time to work out a convenient formula for rising air currents that could match Zuo Tian's current computing power.

After teaching it to her, I asked her to try again.

Then, Riri Saotome was pleasantly surprised to find that although the wind this time was not as strong as at the beginning, it was significantly better than the weakest time before.

For those with level 0 incompetence, the most painful thing is not having no ability, but having no direction.

Now, Riri Saotome has finally found her own personal reality and her own direction to move forward.

The little girl was not greedy, she was already very satisfied with this...

Therefore, she did not disturb the Magic Index Kirikawa too much, and happily went home with her newly acquired superpowers.

As Magical Index Kirikawa watched Saten Ruiko disappear, the smile on his face slightly faded, and he stroked his chin and began to think.

"In the last Absolute Ability Evolution Plan, I demonstrated the ability to possess people remotely."

"As for other scientists' normal thinking, if I want to possess someone, then there absolutely needs to be a medium."

"And my dad used Misaka Network and Fantasy Hand at that time."

"If someone can get this information, it is not impossible to infer that I can catch the mastermind behind the scenes by following the fantasy hand." "But if you want to perceive the process of me entering the common personal reality, you need to have the corresponding ability."

"Aim position..."

When there are clues, the reasoning of Magic Index Kirikawa is still very logical.

In an instant, Majina no Index Kirikawa grasped the key point of the matter.

"Someone has locked onto my aim position. When my aim position fluctuates and mixes with other people's personal realities, I will simply choose to interrupt my fantasy control."

"Then you can achieve your goal of making me untraceable."

"And the only one who can achieve this effect and has a grudge against me is..."

Majina no Index Kirikawa turned around and walked back to the Changdian Machine Academy.

He already had some idea about this matter...

"You better hide well, otherwise I'll catch you like I did Kihara Gensei, and you'll be in big trouble!"

……

At 3:17 pm on July 17th, in a shopping mall in the Fourth School District.

Because Senior Misaka didn't know what she was going to do, Shirai Kuroko's original plan to choose and buy new clothes with her elder sister was completely ruined.

She invited Hatsuharu Shikiri, and Hatsuharu invited Saten Ruiko.

But Riri Saotome also said that she was busy with something.

I heard that his ability development in the Magical Index Kirigawa has yielded results, and he has officially escaped from LV 0. He is now being re-evaluated at school, so he doesn't have time to come.

Shirai Kuroko was a little overwhelmed by this.

"Uncle, uncle, uncle, why are there uncles everywhere?!"

"What's so good about that guy? Why do my sister and the others keep running to him?"

Thinking of her elder sister who had not appeared since she was sent away last night, Shirai Kuroko felt dispirited. It was clearly her who invited her to go shopping in the mall, but she did not have any spirit at all and looked half dead like a corpse.

Hatsuharu next to her also expressed her helplessness. She raised her phone and glanced at a contact in her phone, and couldn't help but whispered:

"But Senior is really nice..."

Fortunately, Shirai Kuroko didn't hear what she said, otherwise there would probably have been a lot of commotion.

To be honest, looking at the message on her mobile phone that Riri Saotome had successfully completed the development of her abilities, Hatsuharu Shiori was also a little excited.

I also want my seniors to develop her.

but……

Thinking about what she had done in the past, she gave up the idea.

She was...afraid...

Just as Hatsuharu Shiki was sighing, a little girl suddenly ran over and pushed a frog-shaped doll in front of Hatsuharu Shiki.

The child's face is full of innocent smile.

"Sister, this is for you. Just now a brother wearing a hat asked me to give this to you."

Looking at the child's smile, Hatsuharu Shiki naturally couldn't refuse and reached out to take it, but the frog doll in her hand still felt a little strange.

A boy wearing a hat? Hatsuharu didn't remember knowing anyone like that.

And just at this moment a violent explosion suddenly sounded throughout the mall.

The huge volume caused countless people in the mall to squat on the ground subconsciously, holding their heads.

The "rumbling" sound instantly caused a large commotion.

Hearing such a noise, Shirai Kuroko, who had been completely listless, instantly perked up.

The two looked at each other and completed the work assignment directly.

Then, Shirai Kuroko's figure disappeared.

And Hatsuharu Shiori picked up her phone and started calling for support.

But as soon as she picked up the phone, she saw out of the corner of her eye that the plump doll next to her suddenly shrank inward.

A feeling of extreme danger surged in her heart.

"Oh no, it's a bomb!"

Almost subconsciously, Hatsuharu Shikiri quickly kicked away the doll next to her and rushed to the child next to her who didn't know what was going on.

But Hatsuharu Shiori was still a step too late. Everything happened so quickly that she had no time to react.

"boom--"

A huge explosion caused smoke to spread all around.

Hatsuharu Shiki closed her eyes tightly, hugged the child in front of her, and then faced the explosion, as if she wanted to offset the damage caused by the explosion in this way.

But what surprised her was that although the explosion was deafening, she did not feel any pain at all.

This feeling involuntarily reminded her of the bank robbery yesterday afternoon, and she subconsciously turned her head to look behind her.

Sure enough, there was a figure standing behind him.

Majinajin Kirikawa noticed the gaze of Hatsuharu Shikiri behind him, he smiled slightly, looked at the determined girl in front of him, stretched out his hand and gently touched her forehead.

"Be good, Chuchun, we won't pick up things of unknown origin like this in the future."

Looking at the intimate movements of Magikarp Kirikawa, Hatsuharu Shiki nodded dully.

By the time she reacted, the figure of Majin no Index Kirikawa had completely disappeared.

She reached out and touched her forehead, somewhat unsure whether what had just happened was really the appearance of the Magical Index Mist River or just her own hallucination.

But now is obviously not the time to pursue this.

Hatsuharu Shiki bit her lower lip slightly, then quickly stood up from the ground. After comforting the child in her arms, she quickly organized the evacuation of the people around her.

Until everything was done, Shirai Kuroko found a wretched man wearing a mask and a hat who was knocked unconscious in the corridor, and the discipline committee sent people to successfully evacuate the crowd. Only then did Hatsuharu Shiki, who had been on edge, relax.

She gently pressed her chest and sighed...

"Senior..."

……

July 19th.

Heizi: "My elder sister hasn't come back yet. I miss her so much..."

Yesterday afternoon's shopping plan had to be interrupted because of a sudden terrorist attack by a person with special abilities.

According to subsequent investigations, the guy was supposed to be a LV1, but inexplicably jumped to LV3 today.

But after being brought back to the Discipline Committee, testing revealed that this guy had turned back into a Level 1 ability user.

If this was the only case, it wouldn't have attracted much attention.

However, according to information from discipline committee branches in multiple school districts, the number of cases like this where someone's abilities suddenly increased to commit crimes and then disappeared later on is not that many in the past few days, but it can be said that the number has exceeded 100.

Such an abnormal situation naturally attracted the attention of the Discipline Committee Headquarters.

then……

"What else? Then of course we need to come to work~"

In the 177th Activity Branch of the Discipline Committee...

Shirai Kuroko took off the armband on his arm with a look of despair, sat down on the sofa in the branch, and kept spitting out a white soul from his mouth. He was only a step away from ascending to heaven.

Seeing Shirai Kuroko working on the computer, Hatsuharu Shikiri, who was trying to find clues to the incident through the Internet, couldn't help but sigh.

But just when she was about to open her mouth to comfort Heizi, telling her not to be too nervous and that she could investigate the matter slowly, the next sentence that came out of Heizi's mouth made her look very upset.

“Ahhhh, onee-sama, onee-sama, Kuroko-sama’s energy is low and she’s about to shut down.”

"Sister, where are you?"

The words that were about to come out were stuck in her throat. Chuchun glared at Heizi in a fierce manner, her face full of helplessness.

But before she could say anything, a figure hurriedly walked into the branch.

The man was wrapped tightly and had a baseball cap on his head.

Before Hatsuharu Shikiri could recognize who the other person was, she saw Kuroko's figure turned into a black line, and suddenly rushed in front of the other person and threw himself into a bear hug.

"It's the smell of onee-sama!!!"

And there is no doubt that when the other party landed, there was already a bunch of constantly wriggling conversation.

There was no need for others to ask anything. The person who suddenly walked into the Discipline Committee Branch slowly took off the baseball cap on his head. Kuroko was not mistaken, the person was Misaka Mikoto.

However, Misaka Mikoto's face was full of seriousness at this time. She had no intention of playing with Shirai Kuroko in front of her. She looked at Hatsuharu Shikiri, the only one left in the Discipline Committee, and said seriously:
"Hatsuharu, have there been a group of people with special abilities who suddenly increase their abilities and then suddenly disappear in the Academy City recently?"

Seeing Hatsuharu nod, Misaka Mikoto's face was solemn.

"This is an emergency!"

"Anyone who has this phenomenon is in danger!"
