I don't know how long it took, but a girl's exclamation sounded in the dim world.
Yoshikawa Kikyo raised her eyelids vigorously, trying to regain her consciousness.
My body is still unable to move, but my hands and feet have gradually regained consciousness.
His back was pressed against the cold laboratory floor through his white robe, and there was a vague pain in his waist and abdomen.
This sense of reality finally allowed Yoshikawa Kikyo to grasp the fact that she was still alive.
"Miss researcher, I think it's better if you don't move around."
Strange advice appeared again.
As consciousness awakens, the slightest movement will make the pain in the wound more and more obvious.
Yoshikawa Kikyo had no choice but to stop trying to get up and move her stiff neck.
The computer screen not far away was still on, and then, there was a figure leaning against the table.
"...I didn't expect that just a 'song' could restore her most basic life functions. This is beyond the scope of science and superpowers. Isn't it possible that boss, you can also use magic?"
The figure with twintail hair was sitting on the computer table, shaking the data disk in his hand.
There was still an unexplained smile on her face, expressing a strange emotion.
"Who are you……"
Through the fluorescence, Yoshikawa Kikyo finally saw clearly the person who just spoke.
If I remember correctly, this girl should be wearing the uniform of Kiriugaoka Affiliated High School.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
When the mysterious girl heard the question, she smiled and lowered her head.
"What's important is whether you still want to prevent this experiment from happening again."
When she mentioned 'this experiment', a hint of gloom flashed across the face of the mysterious girl.
Although she was in a hurry, she still learned part of the truth from 'someone'.
How far this city can go without a limit is simply disgusting.
Reminiscent of her own experience, the mysterious girl looked at the female researcher lying on the ground with suppressed resentment.
"Tell me the mental blueprints of the 'sisters' and the calculation reset password of the 'learning device'. Although the boss said it can be cracked if it takes a while, there is nothing you can do if you can't catch up with something."
The 'learning device' she refers to is actually a simple and crude brainwashing machine that can input data into the brain through electric current to achieve control effects.
As for what it was, everyone present knew it.
This sentence also rewinds Yoshikawa Kikyo's memory, finally focusing on the person who shot her.
‘...That guy on the patio still refuses to let those children go...!’
She couldn't mistake those children's faces.
And to be able to command them, Akai Ao has probably gained control of the 'high-ranking individual'.
"cough……!"
Thinking of this matter, Yoshikawa Kikyo was anxious and just about to speak, the fishy smell stuck in her throat made her cough violently.
The severe pain from the wound once again shocked his spirit, causing Yoshikawa Kikyo to reveal a pale, wry smile that accepted the reality.
It is difficult for her to even move now, so there is no talk of saving her.
However, it seems that God has not given up on them yet.
After taking a breath, Yoshikawa Kikyo stared at the mysterious girl who saved her.
"If... you really want to stop this experiment... I can tell you the password..."
In the final analysis, even if the forces behind this girl also have ulterior motives, the worst-case scenario would not be any worse than Asao Amai restarting the experiment.
Now she has no choice but to take a gamble.
However, there are still things she can do.
"I'm very grateful to you for saving me...but if you also want to take advantage of those children..."
"I will never let you go...!"
Moving her lips, Yoshikawa Kikyo seemed to have exhausted all her strength at this point.
Although such a 'threat' seems weak to anyone, she has already decided that as long as she is alive, she will definitely fight to the end this time.
"Ah, is that so?"
Shrugging indifferently, the mysterious girl looked at her mobile phone and whispered softly.
Anyway, she was not the one to decide the nature of this matter.
She knew that 'someone' must have heard it.
"What do you think, boss."
The words just faded into darkness.
No one answered.
…
************
The viewing parade on the first day of the Daihasei Festival is coming to an end.
In a place that ordinary people cannot enter, there is a man standing in front of a complex machine and constantly inputting something.
This is a research facility under the Absolute Abilities Evolution Experimental Institution. The valid ID card not only helped Yoshikawa Kikyo, but also found an opportunity for this man named Akai Ao.
Once people are pushed to their limit, they will often do things that they are afraid of.
Now that the experiment has been frozen and he is burdened with a huge debt, the desperate Akai has no choice but to take risks.
That's why he took the risk of being exposed and contacted other research institutions that needed 'guinea pigs', hoping to use these 'military clones' as bargaining chips.
There was sweat on his forehead, and a crazy smile spread across Asao Akai's face.
It's almost successful.
He turned his head and looked at an incubator behind him.
The 'base body', which is about ten years old and obviously one size smaller than the ordinary Misaka clone, is sleeping quietly inside.
——Specimen No. 20001, commonly known as the experiment, "Last Order (Final Signal)".
The reason why her body looks so petite is because the researchers deliberately left the cultivation of this individual in an unfinished state.
Unlike the sisters who are specially prepared for 'battle', the 'Last Order' is a 'upper-level individual' that prevents them from running out of control.
As long as a specific current signal is input, the researcher can reversely control the ‘sisters’ through the ‘Misaka Network’.
Coincidentally, Asao Amai, who is the research center, happens to be one of the managers with "control authority".
Of course, there is much more that can be done.
Glancing at the two 'sisters' guarding the door not far away, Ayao Akai had a strange smile on his face.
After a while, the personality systems of these clones will be completely deleted and they will become "military dolls" that only obey orders in the true sense.
And the highest ‘commander’ is him.
This is what Amai Ao relies on to "resurrection".
With his whole body in a tense state of excitement, the man stared intently at the progress data on the big screen that was slowly approaching '100%'.
Hurry up, hurry up.
He kept making useless urgings.
It seemed like the only way to get rid of that suffocating silence.
However, sometimes, things will develop in a direction that I do not want.
Just when the progress bar reached '82%', a 'squeaking' friction sound suddenly came from the door of the institute.
The 'sisters' who were responsible for guarding quickly took a step back and pointed their weapons at the prominent place.
The next second, in the sight of Asao Amai's panic, the metal door fell down like twisted plastic.
He saw it.
The intruder is just one person.
But Akai Axiong opened his eyes in despair.
"Hey, the middle-aged man over there."
The owner of the voice slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
"You seem to be conducting a very interesting experiment, how about you let me take part in it?"
Amai's feet were trembling, and of course he couldn't agree.
No, this is no longer a question of consent. When he saw that figure, he already wanted to run away.
