Chapter 173

Under the moonlight, in the academy city, which is nearly one-third the size of Tokyo, far away from the bustling downtown area, it is a quiet corner of the industrial area.

As the time got later and later, the night air became more and more chilly.Although it is the hottest season, there is still a cool feeling of sticking the cold knife on the cheek.

On a deserted street, a girl wearing a gray pleated skirt, a short-sleeved blouse, and a thin summer sweater, but wearing military night vision goggles on her head, stood quietly, giving off a careless look. a feeling of.She had carefully planned the process of her own death from just now, and there was no sad expression on her face.There is no fear, no hatred, and there is no such thing as giving up hope.

There are only "nothing" expressions.

Because her body can be automatically produced by pressing a button as long as the materials are prepared; her heart is empty, and knowledge is forcibly input into her brain by a brainwashing device like a copy.

The unit price of Misaka sister's life is 18 yen, which is no different from a high-performance computer.And as long as the manufacturing technology continues to improve, the cost can be lowered.

At that time, it will be no different from the auction items piled on the shelf.

It is precisely because of this cognition and concept that she does not need any supervision, and walks alone to the execution ground where she is going to kill herself within a limited time.In the eyes of others, she is like a clockwork puppet walking towards the edge of a cliff, neither afraid of death nor seeking to survive.

Therefore, now the plan can no longer be carried out, and the content of the review is useless. The program in the mind of Misaka sister has no idea how to proceed.Or it should be said that her attention is now on the Misaka Network that is creating a violent storm.

And in front of the girl, there was another person standing.

tick-

Under the cold moonlight, the dark red liquid dripped onto the clean and tidy street ground, turning from mottled to a complete blooming flower of blood.

However, Mu Xiu just continued to listen to the unknown call in a flat manner, turning a blind eye to his arm that had been twisted into a weird shape, as if the red liquid was just a simple dye and would not cause any harm to the body.

"It's such an amazing control ability, is it possible to directly manipulate electronic signals to such an extent?" In that peculiar voice, there was a trace of appreciation that couldn't be concealed.

This sound was made by inexplicable air vibrations, as if Mu Xiu was in an invisible telephone booth and pressed the hands-free button.

"Thank you very much for your compliment. Although I don't know who you are, but in order not to waste your precious time, I think it is necessary for us to get straight to the point." The boy replied lightly, and then he glanced at his left arm , Gently shook off some crumbling red liquid.

"Thank you for your understanding." The mechanically synthesized voice was obviously appreciative, "Then I will say it directly, please take the girl next to you and leave the scene now, and get ready for tomorrow's coronation ceremony Well, the newly promoted NO.1 Your Excellency..."

The last sentence was obviously ridiculed.

However, Mu Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Sister Misaka, but he didn't immediately act according to the other party's request.

"You can't wait for the personnel involved in the experiment to arrive. As long as you continue to stay there, no relevant personnel will show up and take responsibility for the matter... The nearby security guards will arrive in 3 minutes. If you If you are willing to waste the next precious time on them and don’t plan to see a doctor first, then just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

The person on the other side of the call was calm and authentic.

"But you have to think about it carefully. The girl next to you doesn't have an ID and the legal identity represented by the ID. Once it is exposed, it is not something that can be easily solved... If you don't want her to be detained in the name of city security, then If it is taken back by the experimental department, you'd better take her away first."

"So, what about the experiment?" Mu Xiu asked calmly.

"This is a secret plan of a certain director. This girl is the product of this plan. You have actually collected relevant information, but you didn't have time to filter it out and notice it... But after you knocked down the first After one person, the theoretical basis of this project has been declared shattered. Maybe the next experimental subject will become you, but the choice is all in your hands—"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Mu Xiu directly cut off the electronic signal, then turned around to look at Sister Misaka, and sighed inwardly.

All the way to the present, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The goal I am pursuing has now been fully announced. Relying on my foresight of the plot and the super acting skills brought by the muscles and nerves that can completely control the body, the journey along the way is completely safe and without danger.

……

……

Aleister was located in the center of the wide room, floating upside down in a circular container filled with red liquid.

Apart from the word "human", there is no adjective to describe him.This silver-haired human looked like a man and a woman, an adult and a child, a saint and a sinner.

His gaze stayed in the air.

I don't know what technology was used, but a square image appeared in the void where there was nothing.

"Heh, it's really interesting...the plan can be changed."

In the huge test tube, human beings were floating upside down, looking at the image with disinterest.

……

……

The helical blades of the wind turbine made a rattling sound, which echoed on the deserted street. Under the moonlight, the two walked quickly one after the other.

In the distance behind, the flames of the burning building illuminated half of the sky, and the siren of the unmanned level crossing could be faintly heard.The surrounding scenery has turned into artificially planted groves, which is the transition zone between the industrial area, the downtown area, and the residential area.

Seemingly gnashing or grinding his teeth, Mu Xiu looked at the approaching noisy city ahead, and then stopped.

He turned around, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, handed them to the expressionless Misaka sister, and said directly in a commanding tone:

"According to this address, you go back there and wait by yourself. During the period, don't talk to anyone, and avoid others as much as possible, especially a hedgehog head and your prototype."

Sister Misaka didn't even move her eyebrows: "Misaka understands, but Misaka can't understand your behavior, Misaka replied like this. There are signs of open wounds on your body, visually it is a comminuted fracture, the damage is serious, and it is about to exceed The best treatment time is early, so it is necessary to create conditions for the second-stage operation as soon as possible..."

"I know this." Mu Xiu said in a strange tone. From the perspective of others, he was about to go crazy because of the broken arm, "That's why I need you to go back by yourself. I have to go to the hospital first. ..."

Then the boy seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and asked tentatively, "You, what is your name? Could it be just "Misaka"? "

"Misaka can't understand the meaning of the name, the name is just a code name. But Misaka's number is [-], Misaka added."

"..."

"..."

"Is that so, number [-]..." Mu Xiu felt vaguely, and repeated the girl's number.Then he turned around and said nothing, waved his hand and walked away in another direction.

Younger sister Misaka stayed where she was, silently watching the boy's back as he walked away with her unemotional eyes.

……

Walking quickly on the street, Mu Xiu left a long trail of mottled blood behind him.

However, relying on strong muscle control, he was able to easily suppress the wound and control the amount of bleeding. From the looks of it, it was only because of the veins blooming in his right hand that tightly blocked the main blood vessels, and persisted until now.

But in order to be more real, he made his face as pale as possible, revealing a feeling of weakness.

The surrounding environment, buildings, and roads gradually became familiar, and a hospital building with a huge area but an ordinary appearance appeared in front of it.Mu Xiu sniffed hard, and quickly ran in that direction.

Two 10 minutes later.

"I can only do so much in a short period of time..." The middle-aged doctor with a face like a frog said, looking at the black-haired boy in front of him, his eyes cast a light of interest .

"However, the injury is too thorough, and the recovery and conditioning of bones and nerves will take a long time. You can take off the bandage in less than a month, but it may take half a year to a year to fully recover... "

"Yeah, it doesn't matter at all. I'm very satisfied if I have the hope of recovery. Thank you, doctor." Mu Xiu tilted his head and smiled, then waved his left arm that he had just healed with great joy, It seems that the current situation covered with bandages is a rare novelty for him.

The corners of Mingtu Zhuhun couldn't help but twitched slightly, and then he asked curiously: "The internal dysfunction of your body, according to your description, should be caused by excessive secretion of adrenaline, and it can be rectified by taking medicine, but it really doesn't Do you need to check it in detail?"

"No need, I know this very well, and there are some things that can't be delayed for too long, and I need to go back and deal with them immediately..." Mu Xiu shook his head, and naturally refused.

Trauma like the arm can be dealt with simply, and Nether Earth Zhuihun is also accurate enough to judge his own injury, but a detailed physical examination is unnecessary.After all, even the composition of skin cells is different from that of ordinary people, which cannot be seen through routine inspection and naked eyes, but it will be different when using precision instruments.

"That's it, that's fine. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I'm just afraid that you'll have trouble psychologically... But if you have any problems, please tell me as soon as possible. Don't keep it. I'm your doctor."

Mingtu Zhuishun nodded slightly, but did not insist anymore.

tuk tuk-

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a tea-haired girl who was already a little familiar came in.

"Well, doctor, this is Heizi's follow-up checklist. There shouldn't be any... Eh, eh? Why are you here?" Misaka Mikoto saw the boy sitting opposite the doctor at a glance, and suddenly a kind of excitement radiated from her eyes. The look of joy and excitement, but it is definitely not ambiguous, but the eyes of a belligerent or a good-for-nothing person.

"It's just right, I went to your place in the evening to challenge you, but you weren't here. Let's have a fight now?"

"Ultraman?" Mu Xiu blinked and held his chin thoughtfully.

"Ultraman... what the hell? Are you as good at provoking people as that guy?"

Blue and white sparks appeared on Misaka Mikoto's forehead, and she raised her hands with an unfriendly expression, but it was the two girls behind her who swarmed up to suppress her, and reminded her that she was still in the hospital.

"Well, it's probably because there will be some kind of light beam..." Mu Xiu turned his head, looked at the night view of the city outside the window, and said dryly.

Under the intervention of Nether Earth Chasing Soul, no one could really start a fight in the hospital, but both parties were severely taught by him with a straight face.

When the doctor focused on the checklist again, Misaka Mikoto showed a fighting expression, stared at the guy who was sitting motionless, and said in a low voice: "Hmph, tomorrow afternoon I'm here to challenge you, if you have the ability, don't—wait, what happened to your arm?"

Following her words, Uiharu Shiri and Saten Renko's gazes were all on Mu Xiu's tightly wrapped left arm, which was covered with bandages like a mummy.

The boy's expression changed, and he replied in a low voice: "I just went out and had a fight with someone, and my arm was broken."

"..."

"..."

Misaka Mikoto suddenly seemed to have discovered something interesting, and showed a smile like a little fox who stole a hen: "Hola Hora~ Are you an idiot, or are you going to fight Gundam empty-handed?" ? How could it be hurt like this?"

"That guy is much more dangerous than Gundam, you will know tomorrow."

Mu Xiu muttered something in a low voice, and stood up.
