Misaka Mikoto was completely dumbfounded when she saw the scene before her.
She knew who the person lying on the ground was. There were only a handful of people in Campus City who could perfectly block and reflect her full-powered attack, and there was only one person who could do it.
That person was the first of the seven level-5s in Campus City — One Way Through.
But now, he was lying on the ground, unconscious, and looked like he was dead … Wait a minute.
"Mr. Fangzheng, you didn't kill him, did you?"
"He's half-dead. Don't worry about him."
Fangzheng glanced at him and replied casually. He then turned around and left. On the other hand, Misaka Mikoto hesitated for a second before looking away. She then ran toward the girl who was not far behind her.
Misaka Mikoto was stunned when she reached the girl.
"Are you alright?"
Misaka Mikoto was surprised to see the girl in front of her who was covered in blood but still in good condition. She remembered clearly that the girl had a broken leg not long ago and could only lie on the ground. And now, the young lady was standing on the ground. Although she looked a little exhausted and the bloodstains on her body were shocking, at least she looked much better than before.
"Yes."
The girl nodded and looked at Fangzheng.
"This gentleman used a very strange method to heal Misaka's injury. Misaka replied in a surprised and incomprehensible tone."
'Very strange?'
Although Misaka Mikoto was puzzled by the girl's answer, she really could not think of a better solution. She turned around and looked at Fangzheng blankly. The corner of her mouth was trembling, and she was about to cry.
"Mr. — Mr. Fangzheng … What should I do?"
At that moment, Misaka Mikoto felt helpless. Not too long ago, she found out that other than the frozen "Mass Production of Metahumans" plan, there was also a crazy "Absolute Metahuman Evolution Plan". This plan was to let the best Lv.5 student in Campus City kill twenty thousand clones of himself …
Just now, she had almost witnessed one of her clones being brutally murdered. It was beyond her imagination and endurance. She did not know what to do or what to do. Misaka Mikoto was just an ordinary girl. Although she was level five and a lady of a rich family, she was still at a loss as to what to do.
"Now?"
However, Fangzheng did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he looked at Misaka Mikoto and handed her his phone.
"Tell Shirai Kuroko first. She's going crazy in the dormitory."
"Ah …"
Misaka Mikoto took the phone blankly and soon heard Blackie's voice.
"Hello, is this big sister? Are you okay? "
"It's Blackie. Yeah, I'm fine …"
Perhaps it was because she heard Blackie's voice, Misaka Mikoto felt like she was gradually waking up. At least, compared to the bottomless swamp earlier, she felt like she was being pulled to the surface of the water. She breathed in fresh air and felt a sense of "salvation".
"It's okay. I just have some personal matters to deal with. Yes, I probably won't be going back tonight."
"Won't be coming back?!"
Blackie raised his voice and then lowered it as if he was afraid that the dormitory supervisor would hear him.
"Big sister, if you're not going back to the dormitory, where are you going to stay?!"
"The research institute, probably."
"Eh?! Big sister, are you going to stay under the same roof as Mr. Fangzheng? A man and a woman alone? Two people? "
"What do you mean by a man and a woman alone! Aren't Ramu and Rem there too? "
"Big sister, you can even accept three people at the same time?!"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but you're pissing me off, so I'm hanging up!"
Misaka Mikoto hung up the phone angrily when she heard Blackie's words getting more and more ridiculous. She then smiled bitterly as she looked at the dark screen of her phone. She then shook her head and returned the phone to Fangzheng.
"Thank you, Mr. Fangzheng."
"You're welcome. Anyway, let's go back to the research institute first."
Fangzheng said as he kept his phone. Upon hearing that, Misaka Mikoto turned around and looked at the unconscious number one player who was covered in blood.
"What do we do with him?"
"He won't die anyway. Just leave him there. Let's go back first."
For Fangzheng, the passage of a single person was not worth his time.
On the way back, Misaka Mikoto finally told Fangzheng everything that she had found out.
Twenty thousand clones, twenty thousand of his own sisters, but they were created and killed because of this unreasonable plan ….
What could he do about it?
Misaka Mikoto had no idea what to do about it.
"Why are you blaming yourself, big sister?"
At that moment, Misaka who was sitting in the backseat spoke.
"This isn't big sister's responsibility. This is our mission. Misaka asked in a puzzled tone."
"But you'll be killed! This kind of thing … was simply inexplicable! You're alive, aren't you? Don't you want to live?! "
"…"
However, the other Misaka calmly answered Misaka Mikoto's question.
"Misaka was created for the plan. He has an artificial body and an artificial mind. He's an experimental animal that costs one hundred and eighty thousand yuan. Misaka explained everything to big sister. "
"You!!"
"Calm down."
Fangzheng held Misaka Mikoto's head when he saw that she was about to flirt with him again.
"He's a clone. He didn't grow up like you, so it's normal for him to lack common sense. Calm down, calm down."
"…"
"Alright, let's go back to the research center first. Hey, the one in the back, what's your name?"
"Misaka's code name is 9982. Misaka introduced himself to the unknown man in front of him."
"9982 … Why not 8848 … Forget it. That means there are more than ten thousand of you, right?"
"That's forbidden. Misaka can't answer."
"That's enough. It doesn't matter if you answer or not."
Fangzheng let go of Misaka Mikoto's head.
"How about this, Misaka? You bring your sister to the research center for a night. I'll bring the rest of my sisters back, then we'll talk about what to do next."
"But … what are you going to do?"
Although Fangzheng made it sound simple, Misaka Mikoto knew that it was not going to be an easy task. No matter what, there were more than ten thousand of them. Moreover, those who could support such a plan must be those at the top of the academy. She could not imagine how Fangzheng was going to handle it.
"Don't worry, I have my ways."
Of course, Fangzheng did not tell Misaka Mikoto his plan. In fact, after he left Misaka Mikoto and her sister at the research center and handed them over to Ram and Rem, he drove to another place.
That was the hub of the seventh district, the heart of the entire academy.
It was collectively known as the "Building Without Windows".
For Fangzheng, that was a place he would have to come to sooner or later.
Now that he was here, so be it.
He parked the car by the roadside and walked to the front of the building. Fangzheng glanced at the building in front of him, reached out his hand, and lightly knocked on the flat wall in front of him.
"— — —!!!"
The whole world trembled at that moment.
A huge crack extended from the bottom all the way to the top, directly splitting the building in half from the middle. Fangzheng snorted softly. With his hands behind his back, he walked through the crack while humming a little tune.
It was pitch-black inside the space. It seemed like the concept of space had been lost. The stars, the earth, and everything else were like passersby who silently appeared from the darkness and then disappeared.
"Come out, Aresta."
Fangzheng put his hands behind his back and looked at the darkness in front of him.
"You came looking for trouble with me, and now I'm here."
"I still don't understand who you are."
At that moment, a voice was heard.
It was neither a man nor a woman, like a child or an old man.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't understand why you're here. This is the academy city, the city of science …"
"Shut up."
Fangzheng snorted coldly and interrupted the other person's words.
"That's what I don't like about you. Stop nagging about science all day long. What does science have to do with you? You're only standing here because of that bullsh * t angel, Edwards. But science? You're an illiterate mage, how dare you talk about science in front of me? You're just using science as a cover to take revenge on your so-called enemies. "
"…"
"Why aren't you talking? Do you know? I've always wanted to kill you. The reason is simple. You're trying to destroy this world and the future of this civilization. What is science? Science is the correct way to understand the world, understand the world, and explore the world. Not the Crusaders, not those idiots in the Vatican, and not some new religion that you're using as an enemy of magic. You've turned science into a religion, a faith, and you're even trying to shape it … Hahaha, I don't care how your daughter died. After all, it has nothing to do with me. But since you're willing to obstruct the progress of human civilization for your own hatred … "
At this point, Fangzheng spread his hands.
"Then I'm sorry. I've killed plenty of idiots like you anyway. I don't mind killing one more."
"…"
Aresta didn't say anything else. Instead, a golden figure suddenly appeared in front of Fangzheng.
However, Fangzheng just glanced at it.
"Get lost."
It was just one word.
The next moment, the golden figure quickly retreated like a catapult, disappearing into the darkness at almost the speed of light.
"… Who are you?"
At this moment, Aresta's voice finally changed.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Fangzheng, and I'm currently also a god … Well, I won't tell you what my divine title is."
"God?"
Aresta's voice began to change.
"You're saying … you're a god? Hahaha, a god believes in science? "
"I'll say it again. Science is a method, not a faith, not the truth."
Fangzheng nodded.
"A scientific view, a scientific understanding. What do these refer to? Rationality, objectivity, research. Science is not a faith. Faith is eternal, but science is not. Scientific theories can be falsified, and they haven't been falsified. Take magic for example. People doubt the existence of magic because they haven't seen it with their own eyes, experienced it with their own eyes, and investigated it with their own eyes. That's why magic is considered non-existent.
But once they experience it with their own eyes, investigate it with their own eyes and witness it with their own eyes, they will admit the existence of magic.
That's science. "
With that said, Fangzheng crossed his arms and looked into the darkness.
"But what about you? Aresta, you've turned science into the opposite of magic for your own selfishness. Haha … But it's no wonder. After all, you're just an illiterate mage, a barbarian who grew up under the influence of the stupid dualism of Anglo-Saxon culture. Angels, demons, you, us. Good, evil … Well, dualism is really useful when you don't need to use your brain. You see, I don't need to use my brain to kill you. "
"… What are you trying to say?"
Aresta's voice became louder and louder, but Fangzheng just shrugged.
"It's simple. Give me the remaining ten thousand Misaka sisters that you're trying to build the artificial angel network, and I'll spare your life."
Then, he said.
"Otherwise, you'll be on the list of firewood."
