Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

Incredibly, even at this point, the boy still had some hesitation and fear about the simple action of "jumping down". He had spent a lot of time in the ritual to numb his senses, but he still couldn't seem to let go of everything. He thought to himself, this is really embarrassing.

It's clear that even if you resist, you won't gain anything.

Obviously, the rebuttal is just a simple wish, and there is neither reason nor logic in it.

...It's like chipping away at the heart bit by bit, and then you see what's left at the very end - that's desire. Lowly desire. He keeps saying "I want to help someone" and "I want to save the world", but in the end, the deepest part is still his own petty desire. The demon god really saw through this. It's natural to disappoint the other party. The reason why he lost his place may not only be due to Othinus's "attack". It's incredible for someone like him to have a place to stay, right?

but.

This too will soon be over.

"..."

Kamijou gently closed his eyes. There were no railings or handrails here. As long as he walked straight forward, he would get the result. After that, there was only the world of imagination. There was a road ahead, a road to preserve what should be in the form it should be. An unnecessary piece was mixed into the huge puzzle, and it would never be completed at this rate. So it had to be removed. A path had to be prepared for this piece to move outside the chessboard, that's all. Kamijou couldn't help but laugh as he thought about this. Outside the chessboard. This really sounded like an answer. If you forcefully deny your wishes and desires, the result that awaits you is escape. Kamijou's heart, which feared its own destruction, seemed to want to move to "somewhere that is not here." Obviously, there was no such place. Obviously, it was because it did not exist that he could only disappear.

step.

With his hands and feet numb from soaking in ice water, he finally took a step forward.

Two steps.

Go forward. Go forward. Go for this ending that must be what everyone wants.

Three steps.

The amazing thing is, I gradually got used to it as I took the first step.

There is no fourth step. Even so, Kamijou still did not open his eyes. He just followed the momentum and mechanically took the next step. And that was it. No miracles or coincidences would happen. It was impossible to be saved for "some reason". Othinus would exclude such ambiguous things. So he would die. He would disappear. He would disappear. There was no naive story of "going somewhere else", he would just disappear.

The fall begins.

Just before that.

“Ulla——! I’ve been watching silently from the side since just now, you bastard, please be more careful——!”

Suddenly, a girl's roar came from behind.

Before Kamijou could do anything, he felt a strong shock rush up his spine. It seemed that he had been hit by a flying kick. He finally opened his eyes after realizing this. At this time, Kamijou's body had already leaned forward, and all he could see was the golden street scene.

"Strange, weird? Wait! I just wanted to complain a little to stop the suicide, but he pulled the trigger. What on earth is going on?"

The girl with a strange tone of voice seemed to be very surprised and shouted.

"???"

Kamijou listened with a confused look on his face.

That's right.

The strange thing is that even though he fell from the top of a tall building, he was not dead.

"What the hell? Oh, I hooked the cleaning cage. Oh, that's great. I thought it was going to end before it even started."

Someone leaned over the edge of the roof and looked at him.

The man was wearing the summer uniform of Tokiwadai Junior High School, had short brown hair, and wore sturdy military goggles on his forehead.

Not Misaka Mikoto.

This person is...

"Misaka-chan...?"

"Puff?!"

The girl made a big cross with her hands.

"You also misunderstood that incident, didn't you? There were two sisters you had direct contact with. One was No. 10032, the Misaka sister, who was successfully rescued. The other was..."

"Number 10031."

The vision becomes blurred.

After saying the name and actually having the conversation, Kamijou once again realized how great Othinus's "deeds" were.

"I was just a little bit short of saving my sisters..."

"That's right. Although I'm just borrowing this child's body, I can't blame you for that. However, we are all a 'collective consciousness', so it's not wrong to claim that I am the real person."

"...Wait a minute. What you mean is... could it be that..."

Sisters.

A large number of military clones.

The "collective consciousness" composed of all members.

"For this me, this is our first meeting. Thank you for taking care of the physical terminal."

she said, lowering her head.

"I am the 'overall consciousness' of the Misaka Network. Please give me your guidance☆"

In this world that has truly been transformed by the devil...

First Degree

Someone recognized Kamijou Touma.

In this space where consciousness is distorted by the devil.

After everything is settled.

Even Kamijou Touma himself thinks that no one needs to be in Kamijou Touma's worldview.

And her appearance...

And Touma's words in the touching scene she is about to perform.

It will perfectly prove how accurate the declarations of the people who are currently confronting Kamijou Touma with the Devil are...

Chapter 195: Hope Rekindled in His Eyes

Shocked and absolutely.

Despair, relief.

Emotions are like a kaleidoscope.

Will change over time.

It changes with what you encounter.

The ups and downs of human emotions.

All are closely related to this.

This is the case for ordinary people.

This is what the strong do.

so--

Even if you are the protagonist.

The same is true for Kamijou Touma.

[A world where only Kamijou Touma is not needed]

From Touma's initial reluctance to his bewilderment at seeing the world peaceful;

Finally, he was relieved to be convinced that Kamijou Touma was no longer needed in this world.

The audience in the live broadcast room analyzed and analysed the situation from various angles.

Research from the perspective of psychology.

To put it bluntly——

It hurts, it hurts too much!

"This is the subject that the demon god advocates, leading the young man to completely destroy himself."

Holding a book called "Handbook of Psychological Research".

In the plane of the God of Death, the God of Death named Kurotsuchi Mayuri is a knowledgeable and talented scientist. So far, he has only been defeated by Ishida Uryu and has never lost since then.

On the other hand, as the director of the Death Research Administration, he has a lot of knowledge about various scientific research and science.

"Hmm - this is really interesting."

I can't empathize with the frustrated, painful and desperate teenager in the video.

The grim reaper who was conducting the development experiment looked up at the sky and said frankly, "But I have figured out the situation. It is really chilling. This is a psychological warfare method."

Psychological warfare?

"You are talking nonsense again." Kenpachi Zaraki, who is good at thinking with force, couldn't help but grin and tease when he heard the voice. His fierce expression with his white teeth was particularly shocking. "But...what did you think of? Can you give us some scientific knowledge, genius?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked over.

It is clearly visible.

This room is full of Death Captains.

They weren't the only ones paying attention to the battle in this clip.

Hearing this, Kurotsuchi Mayuri shrugged.

The scientific research body filled with technology and hard work makes a gurgling sound.

He raised his head, and looked at Kenpachi with a pair of golden eyes with cold disdain: "Well, what's there to say to a simple-minded guy like you."

"But - since you said so, I shouldn't be stingy and will share my views with you..."

“Have you noticed that what this man called Othinus did should be called an ‘experiment’… Even though Kamijou Touma was not helping Othinus with the experiment subjectively, and Othinus was more of a torturer who did not realize that this behavior was also like an experiment…”

That's right...

This is an experiment.

A tug-of-war against perseverance.

Othinus's argument and goal is just one thing - to [obtain a Imagine Killer who completely obeys his orders] and thus [erase Kamijou Touma's original will].

"I suffered setbacks and mental blows, was betrayed by my loved ones, forgotten by my best friends, and was tightly detained in the torrent of time and space with no way to escape—"

"Thus achieving the strategy of making it impossible for the Imagine Killer in his right hand to change hands again."

"This is indeed very powerful. Regardless of the degree of viciousness or the means used, it can be called cruel."

"As for its effectiveness, you can see it in every scene of the video. It is indeed extremely lethal and can be regarded as a method of exhausting human nature and life."

Having said this, Kurotsuchi Mayuri spoke in a gentle and polite manner with a hint of sneer, and it seemed that he was extremely satisfied with the progress of this experiment.

obviously.

Kamijou Touma has an extremely strong will.

Even if I encounter so many reincarnations.

He still held on strong.

Even if his heart has been betrayed thousands of times.

He still bleeds and keeps going.

But now——

When he experienced the situation of his companions firsthand.

When he witnessed that this group of people could still live perfectly well without him.

"In this case, any of his persistence is meaningless. This can be regarded as the best lesson... a strategic battle that teaches torturers how to break the will of a strong enemy."

"But... unfortunately, in most cases, even if one gets a perfect experimental subject like this, it is difficult for the experimenter to obtain the same interrogation chips as in the video."

Having said this, Kurotsuchi Mayuri sighed.

Captain Kyoraku Shunsui's words came from my ear: "He really just walked into the tiger's mouth after entering the flock of sheep. I didn't expect that the enemy this boy met this time would be so terrifying."

It was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere, and while he was talking, Kyoraku looked at the battle maniac Kenpachi Zaraki with interest: "If you could fight against a strong man like Othinus in the video, you would definitely have a lot of fun, Captain Kenpachi."

The tone is frivolous and casual, with a hint of sarcasm.

But in the final analysis, it is the attitude of finding something to say.
