And Chen Xiaofeng also knew that even if this reason was put aside, she would not have the possibility of escaping unscathed.
The purpose of going to School District 17 was to rescue Minato, but it was obviously impossible to rescue Minato under close surveillance, with the other party being prepared, and without alerting the other party.
Then, conflicts are inevitable.
But as I said before, in this case, according to Chen Xiaofeng's guess, she has no chance of winning. Moreover, even if there is, once the other party pushes Minato out, for fear of affecting Minato's relationship,
Misaka Mikoto will also surrender unconditionally.
"Now that this has been said, what I want to say is that there is no way to fight head-on, and I can't think of any means for the time being, so why do you have to fight alone? What's more, this is not your problem alone, Minato is still
my little sister……"
Misaka Mikoto fell silent unconsciously after hearing Chen Xiaofeng's words.
On the seaside at night, the air seemed to be solid at this moment, and even the sound of the wind could not be heard.
"Yes...as you said, when you can't face it, you can find someone to share your pressure, but...you still don't know..."
In the darkness, Misaka Mikoto said softly.
"What are you talking about?" Chen Xiaofeng frowned.
"But, have you really thought about why you only let me go?"
Misaka Mikoto looked at the endless black sea and continued like an elf singing:
"I captured Minato, but deliberately left a clue...and that clue was not left to you, but to me as a person with super powers."
Misaka Mikoto glanced at Chen Xiaofeng leisurely, her eyes seemed to be full of despair.
"This was originally aimed at me." Misaka Mikoto seemed to be describing a pleasant dream.
"Without weights, you will be at a disadvantage if you face someone with superpowers."
Chen Xiaofeng finally understood what Misaka Mikoto was thinking.
"If this is the case, letting more people go will not help, and more people may be affected."
Speaking of this, Misaka Mikoto actually laughed.
"As for me... As I said before, I have a job in Academy City. It is indeed a very special job. Only as a level 5 Denge user, I can do it. Do you know what it is?"
At this point, Misaka Mikoto seems to be really smiling happily, "I can enter any computer and system and check various information. Similarly, I can also ensure that these information are not read by others... To put it more bluntly,
Protect the system from intrusions and necessary system intrusions."
Misaka Mikoto's expression seemed tired, but the smile was still on her face.
"Do you know why I agreed to this 'boring' job?" Misaka Mikoto seemed to be asking herself. "The remaining nearly 10,000 cloned sisters... it takes a lot of money and manpower to protect them in Academy City...
...Normally, after an experiment fails, these clones will be thrown into the incinerator like laboratory rats."
"Is that why you agreed to take a job like that?"
Chen Xiaofeng gritted his teeth.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it," Misaka Mikoto said.
"But what does that mean?"
"They know the job I hold."
Chen Xiaofeng was stunned.
In other words, when the other party knew that Misaka Mikoto could perform such operations, they left clues to Misaka Mikoto. Then, the other party's purpose was obvious.
In order to get Misaka Mikoto's help, she kidnapped Minato. As the only hostage without any abilities among all the people, Misaka Mikoto could only obey the other party's arrangements strangely.
Moreover, it can be seen from the other party's methods that what I hope Misaka Mikoto will do will never be something as meaningful as "for the sake of human harmony."
"Of course, I won't help them do such illegal things. After they let Minato leave, I will..."
"Are you planning to sacrifice yourself?" Chen Xiaofeng suddenly interrupted.
Don't be kidding, when Misaka Mikoto still has fighting power, it is impossible for the other party to release her. Unless Misaka Mikoto's movements are restricted first, then there is still the possibility of releasing her first.
Therefore, the conclusion that can be drawn is that even if they are in danger, they are not far away to help them, so the result of such a choice is to sacrifice themselves.
"Is it really okay to do this? Even if the other person's goal is you, it's not your fault! Also, do you think that after you do that, Minato will still be able to smile like before?"
Chen Xiaofeng raised his voice, and Misaka Mikoto was jumped.
However, she quickly recovered and still said in a very gentle voice: "Minato doesn't know that the human brain remembers and controls through bioelectricity, so from a certain perspective, I also have
Part of Shokuhou's ability, I will make her forget all the unpleasant things beforehand."
The atmosphere became dull.
"Don't worry, this is an opportunity for me...Besides, it may not have such a bad result."
However, no matter how you interpret this, you will understand it as a comfort to deceive yourself and others, right?
"Now is the only chance. We don't have much time to think. We don't know what the other party will do during the period when they can't see me... You should still look forward to Minato's sister coming back, right?
?”
Chen Xiaofeng's expression showed a slight wavering, Misaka Mikoto saw it, but she still smiled gently.
"So, finally... please go to the hotel and rest. Tomorrow morning, Minato will appear by your side safe and sound."
This seemed to be the only choice Misaka Mikoto had.
You have to bear your own mistakes, and you have to resolve the dangers you caused. This is what Misaka Mikoto thinks, and this is what she saw from Chen Xiaofeng.
There is only one thing Misaka Mikoto can do now.
Go rescue that girl, even if you have to lose your own life. For her smile, but also for his smile.
"Giggle..."
Chen Xiaofeng gritted his molars tightly.
"I've said it before, I don't want you to put all the responsibility on yourself... Minato is very important to me, but equally, you are equally important in my heart... Sacrificing you to save my sister
, I can’t do such a thing!”
Moreover, there was no sign that if Misaka Mikoto did as the other party said, Minato would be fine.
Even so, Misaka Mikoto still had no choice but to do this.
She could only pray to "gods" that things would go as smoothly as she imagined.
