The road to completion starts from the Gate of Truth

In her eyes, there was only the opponent in front of her! 　　Bang——　　The dull sound of body collision was transmitted to her ears through the vibration of bones and muscles. Saten Ruiko could feel that some force was trying to penetrate her body's defense, but was blocked by the invulnerable body of Achilles in her spiritual base.

'Is this the power of vector manipulation? He tried to manipulate the vector of objects in my body? '　　Saten Ruiko instantly understood the other party's thoughts, and was also glad that she habitually turned on the defense of invulnerable body.

If there was no such layer of defense, she would probably be defeated in the moment of the battle - Accelerator could practice such a cruel killing method in endless killings, and Saten Ruiko, who was also a top student, could naturally think of how many terrible means could be played once the seemingly simple [Vector Manipulation] ability was used in the human body.

The first person who had embarked on the evil path in front of him was indeed a powerful opponent, but unfortunately, he miscalculated the true power of Saten Ruiko.

Bang! In the silent vacuum, only a few sounds were transmitted through the vibration of the limbs. Relying on her unparalleled strength, Saten Ruiko grabbed Accelerator's arms, then turned around and threw him back to his original position, causing him to fall to the ground in an indecent posture with his face on the ground.

Boom! The ground that touched Accelerator's face seemed to be crushed by a huge force, and it instantly exploded and dented. This was not only the power of Saten Ruiko, but also the result of the instinctive effect of the reflex ability of [Vector Manipulation] after being magnified multiple times.

Accelerator shook his head and climbed up from the gravel and dust on the ground. Although he was not hurt because of his own ability, this embarrassing situation of being smashed into the ground was the first time for him.

The white-haired boy raised his head, revealing a pair of murderous eyes from his messy hair.

There is no doubt that he was completely enraged! 'This guy...' If he hadn't been in a vacuum environment, the furious Accelerator would have cursed loudly, but now every bit of air is the most precious resource for him, and he must ensure that he can solve this troublesome vacuum environment before he is completely deprived of oxygen.

Although he was in extreme anger, Accelerator did not lose his mind. He knew that the most important thing at the moment was to regain his right to breathe.

Through the previous instant of fighting, he already knew that the eighth person in front of him, who looked like an aerodynamicist, had something strange about him. His vector manipulation ability could not penetrate the opponent's body surface, and that inhuman strength was also very tricky. It was unlikely to knock him down in a short time.

Then, there was only one way left - even if he was very reluctant, the threat of hypoxia was approaching all the time, and Accelerator had to make a humiliating choice - leave this vacuum area! 　　Although it can be said to be a strategic shift or a shift in the battlefield, Accelerator himself knew that he was just running away.

With a light tap of his foot, the tiny force was changed in magnitude and direction by the ability of [Vector Manipulation]. Under the equal reaction force, Accelerator moved away from Saten Ruiko at a very high speed in the opposite direction of Saten Ruiko.

——In fact, he had another way, which was to break the walls of the surrounding buildings, enter the room that was not evacuated, and regain fresh air.

But just as Saten Ruiko didn't know the calculation formula of his ability, he didn't know that Saten Ruiko could actually keep the air inside the surrounding buildings when the outdoors was evacuated.

So, this simplest way out was ignored by Accelerator's subconscious reaction.

'Want to escape? ' Saten Ruiko didn't feel any surprise when she saw that the other party's response was almost exactly the same as that of Kimura Haruki in the past.

After all, after she opened the vacuum field, her enemies ultimately faced only two ways - either defeat her before being suffocated to death and let the expelled air flow back, or directly withdraw from the range of her ability and reach an area with normal air pressure.

Saten Ruiko was about to catch up, just like she had forced Kiyama Haruo into a dead end last time, and she kept a close eye on Accelerator's whereabouts, always covering him in a vacuum area.

But just as she was about to act, she noticed something through her electromagnetic induction ability - the seriously injured clone had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss, and it looked very bad.

Between the two options of saving people and chasing the enemy, Saten Ruiko chose the former without hesitation.

After all, she was different from a certain electric shock princess who liked to use herself as bait and then teach a lesson to the gangsters with electric shocks. She cleaned up those bad groups and armed powerless people not because she was bored and wanted to have some fun, but more because of a "heroism" complex. She wanted to punish evil and save the world like the superheroes in the comics she had read before.

In her mind, fighting crime is just a means, and saving innocent people who have been hurt is the real purpose.

So, without hesitation, she gave up chasing Accelerator and turned around to find the clone girl who was sent far away.

After picking up the shocked Misaka sister in a princess hug, a flash of lightning passed by and the two figures disappeared from the scene.

')315'\u003eChapter 314 "Logical" Guess \u0026 Misaka Mikoto Knows the Truth

"Breathe--breathe--" Arriving at the area with normal air pressure, Accelerator exhaled the waste gas accumulated in his lungs and took a long breath of fresh air. His brain, which was somewhat groggy due to lack of oxygen and high-intensity mental work, finally recovered. More sensitive.

"Didn't you follow?" He turned to look behind him and found that the eighth figure who suddenly appeared did not come after him. Even the coverage area and its huge vacuum area had been cancelled. His heart was suppressed just now. The anger suddenly rekindled.

"Are you disdainful of chasing me? You are so brave!!!" Taking Saten Ruiko's action of giving up the pursuit, which was eager to save people, as disdain to pursue his completely restrained opponent, Accelerator's face showed a ferocious expression. , Anger filled his chest, almost turning into substance.

However, he did not lose his mind because of this and went back to look for trouble with the eighth place regardless.

In the short battle just now, he has understood that facing Saten Ruiko, who can create a large-scale vacuum and whose own defense and strength are incredibly strong, it is really hard to restrain him, the so-called strongest superpower. .

Before finding a way to deal with such a large-scale vacuum, Accelerator could only ensure that he could escape unscathed, but it was almost impossible to defeat the opponent.

This was indeed a huge blow to Accelerator, who had always considered himself invincible in the world, but it also filled his heart with fighting spirit that he had not seen for a long time.

And this fighting spirit was mixed with the anger rising in his heart, and finally turned into a murderous intention that was as real as real.

"Next time, I will definitely kill you next time!!!" "How did the eighth one... disappear just now?" The middle-aged researcher, who was called "Director" by the people around him, was frowning at this time. , replaying the scene when Saten Ruiko finally disappeared over and over again.

"...Could it be that someone with the ability to move in space is helping?" A researcher also saw this video and put forward the most reliable guess in his mind.

"Impossible!" The director shook his head and denied this statement: "All space movement ability users existing in Academy City will pause for about half a second to one second when they continuously move themselves. If it is true, What's more, if someone with the ability to move in space takes action, it will definitely be shown in the video, instead of just a blurry flash like now."

"Is it possible that a certain Lv.4 space user evolved to Lv.5, but was not included in the library? Just like the eighth one, before he actually took action publicly, no one I know..." After thinking about it for a while, the researcher who had just been rejected added a patch to his conjecture and came up with a seemingly more reasonable explanation.

"It's not impossible..." This time the director did not directly deny the researcher's statement. Logically speaking, this is indeed a very possible situation.

Even so, the director did not give up his doubts about Saten Ruiko: "...But the eighth one who suddenly appeared has its own problems!" "Yeah, I didn't expect that a mere air force user would actually Accelerator can still be intact even after direct contact, there must be something wrong with it!" This is the biggest problem that Saten Ruiko exposed in the battle just now - Accelerator's vector manipulation that was always unfavorable. It didn't seem to harm her, which was unthinkable to the researchers.

"Could it be that there was no contact at all?" Someone also put forward a seemingly reasonable opinion: "Could it be that someone with the [nitrogen armor] ability used compressed gas to build a hard defense on the body surface? Accelerator actually didn't touch her at all? " "Compressed gas defense... This can indeed explain some of the situations we saw, as well as the unscientific power. If it is an invisible exoskeleton armor formed by compressed gas, With help, it can be explained...but is it really like this?" Although the conjectures put forward by several researchers are very logical and self-explanatory, for some reason, the director always feels that something is wrong.

He looked at the disappearing images that were playing in a loop on the screen, and focused his attention on that fleeting flash of light. What on earth was it? …… Saten Ruiko didn’t know, but a group of researchers in the distance were secretly studying her performance, and came up with one seemingly reasonable theory after another for the various abilities she displayed.

Of course, she would only be happier if she knew it, which showed that her disguise was very successful and that her "Lv. 5 aeronaut" persona had not collapsed.

But she had no intention of thinking about it now. After sending Misaka-senpai's clone to the only frog doctor she trusted, she was full of hesitation - should she tell Misaka-senpai about this? Logically speaking, of course the person involved must be told about this.

After all, he is a clone. This is no small matter, not to mention that the clone has participated in the death experiment.

But...but, what should she say? "Misaka-senpai, I found one of your clones fighting a life-and-death fight with the first one in Level 5 while I was out at night. He was seriously injured and hospitalized"... Is this appropriate to say? Okay, I did make the situation clear in one sentence, but I still feel like there’s something wrong? Shouldn’t there be some foreshadowing or prelude to make it easier for people to accept it? How about... be more tactful? But the outspoken Saten Ruiko is not very good at doing this kind of thing! After hesitating for a long time, Saten Ruiko finally decided - tell the truth! "So, is this my clone?" After receiving Saten Ruiko's call, Misaka Mikoto rushed to the hospital immediately and saw the figure who looked exactly like herself in the ward.

Looking at the bandages and plaster almost all over the opponent's body, she could imagine how dangerous the clone had been and how desperate the battle with the legendary number one was.

She recalled in her mind the urban legends about "mass-produced superpowers" that she had heard from passers-by, and then recalled that when she was a child, she was encouraged by a certain researcher to donate her genetic map.

Feelings of betrayal and deception rose up in her heart. The brown-haired Electric Princess clenched her fists tightly, and an arc of electricity flashed across her forehead.

Misaka Mikoto is really angry! ')316'\u003eChapter 315 Aleister's warning \u0026 preparations of all parties

After just watching the short battle, Fang Yuan felt very pleased with the progress of his lovely disciple.

At this moment... Buzz-buzz-- Fang Yuan's cell phone, which was set to vibrate, rang. He opened the screen and saw "Unknown" written on the caller column. He knew that this was that person again. A call from the chairman.

"Hello? It's already so late. How come our Chairman, who has so many things to do all day long, hasn't rested yet and still has time to call me, a 'idler'?" Before the other person on the phone could speak, Fang Yuan took the lead and said in a teasing tone.

“First of all, my whole body’s physiological activities and thinking processes have been entrusted to the machine, and there is no concept of rest or rest.

Secondly, your experimental subject intervened in my important experiment and kidnapped important experimental props. Don't you think you should explain it? Aleister's emotionless voice came from the other end of the phone. Although his words sounded very dissatisfied, Fang Yuan knew that this was actually just the attitude deliberately shown by the other party.

So... "We are all sensible people, so there is no need to say these lies!" Fang Yuan said: "I know that your real purpose is not for the so-called absolute ability person, but to destroy this plan and then do nothing. Achieve your true purpose without feeling comfortable.

Although what my disciple did was a coincidence, it just met your requirements, didn't it? "...It seems that you, an outsider, do know a lot of things!" I'm even more curious about where you're coming from. "

Aleister was also a little surprised that Fang Yuan could actually know his true purpose. Considering the "outsider" attribute of the other party, he couldn't help but have more guesses about his true identity.

"Where I come from... it's a really unusual place, but I won't tell you this kind of precious information for free, just like you won't tell me your plans!" Fang Yuan did not tell you anything! He hesitantly blocked Aleister's faint temptation and refused to reveal any information related to his origin.

"That's right. Although we are not enemies, we are not friends either. At best, we can only use each other's relationship. You really have no obligation to answer my questions."

Aleister obviously has a clear understanding of the relationship between the two parties: "However, I think our actions should be more tacit, what do you think?" "...Okay!" It's already because of him. It affected several important plots, and each time was related to Aleister's important plans. Fang Yuan also guessed that this was probably close to the limit of Aleister's tolerance, so he directly agreed to the other party's request for "more updates." There is a tacit understanding” requirement.

Although neither party has explicitly stated how this "tacit understanding" should be understood and to what extent it is considered "breaking the tacit understanding", both Fang Yuan and Aleister are well aware of this invisible sense of propriety and know the other's. Where is the bottom line.

Putting down the phone that had ended the call, Fang Yuan rubbed his forehead, and then put Aleister's previous call to the back of his mind.

——Anyway, from the current point of view, the "variables" he created have not yet touched Aleister's core interests, so let them do whatever they want, Fang Yuan himself will not interfere.

Furthermore, as a time traveler, if you travel to a different world where you are familiar with the plot, and you don’t change the plot, what kind of time traveler is that? …… On the other side, Saten Ruiko walked out of the hospital and walked in the late night streets with a worried expression on her face, and she was very worried about Misaka Mikoto's condition.

"I will handle this matter myself, so don't worry about it anymore, Saiko! Also, please don't tell Kuroko and Uiharu about this matter, please!" This was what Misaka Mikoto said to her before she left the hospital. The firm tone and serious look on his words made Saten Ruiko know how determined the other party's attitude was.

However, how could I really ignore this matter! Although I know that Misaka Mikoto has good intentions and doesn't want irrelevant people to touch the dark side of these academy cities, Saten Ruiko has seen enough and is naturally not afraid of anything.

"At most, I won't tell Shirai and Hatsuharu, but I myself... I'm already involved, so I can't just run away like this!" Saten Ruiko punched her palm and made up her mind to take care of this matter to the end! ... "How to solve the battle in a vacuum environment?" After ending the battle that made him feel angry, Accelerator returned to his residence. After calming down, he began to think about how to fight against Saten Ruiko's vacuum field.

"The first plan is to strike first and disrupt the surrounding atmosphere before the opponent launches the vacuum field. With my computing power, it is not difficult to simulate the ability of the aerodynamicist. When the control of the atmosphere is taken away by me, it is not so easy to create a vacuum..." Accelerator first thought of the plan to directly prevent the vacuum field from appearing from the source.

"However, the premise of this plan is that my computing power must be able to effectively crush the opponent's computing power. If the computing power gap is not more than an order of magnitude, my indirect control through multiple turns may not be able to compare with the opponent's direct control of the airflow..." Accelerator shook his head and put this plan in the alternative sequence.

"Or, add the control part of the surrounding airflow to the default calculation formula, keep a part of the atmosphere under my control at all times, and maintain combat effectiveness for a period of time even in a vacuum environment..." This is the lesson he learned in this battle. If his reaction was faster at the time and there was more air restrained around him, he might be able to fight with Saten Ruiko for a few more rounds.

It's not like this time, because he was caught off guard and didn't have time to make too much preparation. When he was fighting, he found that the air in his body and the air around him was not enough to support the high-intensity consumption when he used his ability, so he had to choose between a quick battle and a strategic shift.

"But this is only a temporary solution, I must find a way to solve the adaptability problem in a vacuum environment from the root..." Accelerator muttered to himself.

"Maybe... I can try to split the carbon dioxide molecules and directly produce oxygen in the body? This is not impossible, I just need to add a part to the formula..." The white-haired boy muttered to himself the calculation formula that no one except himself could understand, and a hideous smile appeared on his face.

He believed that the next time he met the damn eighth person, he would definitely give him a big "surprise"! The third update is here')317'\u003eChapter 316 The second battle is about to begin

"... Sister, sister!" The call from her ear woke up Misaka Mikoto who was lost in thought, and she was stunned for a while before finally coming back to her senses.

"Ah, it's Kuroko! What's wrong?"　　Misaka Mikoto, who was worried, lifted a strand of hair scattered on her forehead and asked calmly.

"...Sister, are you... okay?"　　Shirai Kuroko looked at Misaka Mikoto who was obviously holding on and asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine.

How could I be in trouble? Ahahaha..."　　Misaka Mikoto tried to hide her bad mood with her poor acting skills.

"...Yes, that's right, I'm glad you're okay..."　　Shirai Kuroko saw that something was wrong, but in the end she said nothing.

She is not an idiot. Although she usually looks like a nympho in front of Misaka Mikoto, she is also one of the people who know Misaka Mikoto best because of this.

Now, although the "sister" tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, the depression between her eyebrows could not be concealed at all.

As Misaka Mikoto's number one fanatical fan, Shirai Kuroko wanted to share her "older sister's" worries, but she didn't know where to start. Apart from worrying secretly in her heart, she could only pretend that she didn't notice anything.

However, she couldn't do nothing.

Regarding her most beloved elder sister, Shirai Kuroko also fully activated her brain, which was almost filled with 18X substances, and recalled and thought about whether anything unusual had happened in the past period of time.

After thinking for a long time, she really found something - 'It seems that she has become abnormal since the last call from Saten. Maybe I can ask her? ' Just do it when I think of it.

Shirai Kuroko saw that Misaka Mikoto left in a hurry after talking to her for a few words, but she did not follow her all the way like before, but called Saten Ruiko.

"Hey! Misaka-senpai's matter? Uh, this, that..." As a result, when Saten Ruiko heard Shirai Kuroko's question, she immediately became hesitant and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Shirai Kuroko knew immediately that she really knew something! 　　"Saten-san, if you really know something, please tell me!"　　In response to Shirai Kuroko's request, Saten Ruiko on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but this matter is really not suitable for you to know! But please rest assured, although Misaka-senpai doesn't want others to intervene and plans to solve all problems by herself, I won't leave her alone. If Shirai-san believes me, just hand her over to me! I promise that I will definitely return you a complete Misaka-senpai in the end!"　　"Eh? Eh! What, what! I always feel embarrassed to say this, as if, as if my sister and I have already... hehe, hehehe!"　　It seems that some of the words in Saten Ruiko's words have hit a switch, and Shirai Kuroko's face flushed all of a sudden, twisting her body, exuding a "nympho" aura all over her body, and she was daydreaming.

After a long while, Shirai Kuroko came back to her senses from the indescribable delusion and returned to normal.

Although this phone call still did not answer her doubts, she was also sure of one thing, that her elder sister was indeed in trouble, and the trouble was not small.

Although she wanted to continue asking, her reason told her that since Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko did not want her or others to be involved, they must have their reasons.

In addition, with Saten Ruiko's guarantee, the power of the two Lv.5s, no matter how much trouble, they can be pushed all the way. This time, let's trust the power of friends! 　　…　　"Ha——I didn't expect that even Shirai classmate noticed it..."　　After hanging up the phone, Saten Ruiko sighed and doubted how long Misaka senior's so-called concealment could last.

Anyway, it's only been a day, and someone has noticed the abnormality. How bad is Misaka senior's acting skills...　　Thinking so, but Saten Ruiko also knows that this kind of well-intentioned concealment is necessary.

After all, what they are going to face this time is not those street thugs, nor a desperate researcher, but an unknown number of experimental institutions, including the first person with super powers.

In fact, even if someone tells her now that it is the entire upper echelons of Academy City who are planning all this, Saten Ruiko will not be surprised at all.

Therefore, for Shirai Kuroko and the others, "not knowing" is the best protection, so that they will not be exposed to the dark side of Academy City too early, but will not suffer a miserable result because they are not strong enough.

——After experiencing the [Fantasy Hand] incident and the [Chaotic Opening] incident, Saten Ruiko has completely recognized the essence of this city. The bottomless darkness can really swallow people's lives! 　　"However, did Senior Misaka start to act so quickly? It seems that he has found some clues!"　　Since she has made a promise, Saten Ruiko naturally cannot be perfunctory. She directly opened her wide-area electromagnetic induction ability and instantly enveloped the entire Academy City within her perception range.

Among the countless different human electromagnetic fields, she immediately noticed Misaka Mikoto's very familiar electromagnetic force field and locked her position.

And following the direction of Misaka Mikoto's progress, she also sensed another familiar human body reaction.

It was an individual that was almost identical to the Misaka sister she had seen before, with only slight differences in subtle places.

"Another clone... This location is... an abandoned building area? A new round of experiments will start so soon?"　　Saten Ruiko opened her eyes, and a slight flash of lightning flashed in her eyes.

The next moment, a flash of lightning flashed, and the girl's figure disappeared in the room.

...　　"Tsk! It's another inferior product like you!"　　Accelerator looked at the Misaka sister in front of him, who had been killed countless times, and spat impatiently.

To be honest, after experiencing a battle with a real Lv.5, Accelerator was completely uninterested in fighting with a cloned Lv.2 like Misaka sister.

Although Saten Ruiko is only the eighth, she forced Accelerator to retreat in the first battle, and also provided him with a great idea to strengthen his own ability. Such an enemy can be truly regarded as an enemy! 　　What about the one in front of him? 　　At most, they can only be regarded as puppets. The battle with them is not even a warm-up. No wonder Accelerator looks disgusted.

First update, there will be two more in the evening')318'\u003eChapter 317 Saint Seiya will not be defeated by the same move twice!

Although he was full of impatience, since he participated in the experiment, he had to complete it.

Besides, Accelerator was also looking forward to it, looking forward to the eighth person to appear again and have another hearty battle with him.

——This time, he has made preparations and will not be forced to retreat by a mere vacuum environment! 　　"The 9804th experiment will begin in 5 minutes. Is the experimental subject ready? Do, Misaka asked."

The clone girl who was almost exactly the same as the previous Misaka sister said in the same flat voice without ups and downs.

"Hmph! Start and finish quickly! I'm no longer interested in you scumbags!" A few days ago, Accelerator might have had some expectations for this experiment, and would have completed the battle with the Misaka sisters with a more playful attitude, just to have some fun in boring repetitive work.

However, this time Accelerator did not intend to waste time - he decided to find the eighth person immediately after dealing with the scumbags in front of him... No, based on the situation last time, maybe the eighth person would jump out by himself! Thinking of this, Accelerator listened to the countdown of the Misaka sisters while preparing to kill her with one blow.

"...5,4,3,2,1, the experiment begins!" Biu-boom-! ! ! Accelerator tapped his feet lightly, and the force acting on the ground was amplified and transmitted to the feet of the Misaka sisters under the ability of [Vector Manipulation].

The next moment, the ground within a few meters around Misaka girl suddenly folded in half with her foothold as the center, and huge semicircular concrete slabs rolled down from the left and right sides towards the middle like two huge palms.
