The Preceding Article was woken up by the alarm.
For an ordinary high school student, this was the beginning of an ordinary day, but the Preceding Article felt strange.
Usually, Inticus would shout "Breakfast! Give me breakfast! "and throw herself on his bed, and then she would gnaw on his head to force him to get up. Therefore, the Preceding Article always woke up in pain and gloom, and began his unfortunate day.
The morning without Inticus's gnawing — although somewhat inexplicable, it was surprisingly refreshing.
The Preceding Article slowly got up and glanced at the electronic alarm clock.
It was now the 15th, 7 o 'clock in the morning, and the weather was clear.
— — —
"Wah wah wah wah! That rice ball is mine! The sandwich is also delicious, I can't stop! I'm so happy to be able to eat breakfast — —! "
The reason why she didn't disturb the Preceding Article's sleep was because the big-bellied nun was sitting in the living room gorging on food, and the wrappers and convenience store plastic bags were scattered all over the floor. When she saw the Preceding Article, Inticus finally stopped chewing for a short while.
"Ah, Dangma! You're finally up, I was wondering if I should wake you up! "
No … please don't wake me up!
The Preceding Article seemed to remember the unbearable pain when the sharp teeth came into contact with the skull, and the Preceding Article hurriedly shook his head.
Speaking of which … what's with all this food? While the Preceding Article was puzzled, he heard an unhappy voice.
"You're quite relaxed at this time of the year."
In front of the Preceding Article, the First One of Academy City was sitting across from Inticus, gloomily watching her gorging on food, and whispered, "But I'm surprised you're able to feed her … Is this guy's stomach a black hole?"
There were also a few plastic bags of food beside Accelerator. Those were probably the food he had bought for Indicas.
Putting aside the fact that the first person to buy breakfast for Intica, just the fact that this esper was sitting in the living room of Shangjou's house so early in the morning was enough to make Shangjou's jaw drop.
"Why are you here?!" The Preceding Article's face suddenly turned pale, and he shuddered as he took a step back.
Accelerator raised his head unhappily and glared at the Preceding Article. "Why can't I be here?"
"No … before we get too caught up in this issue …"
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the Preceding Article, Meng Chao began to examine the ceiling, walls, windows, and windows of his house.
"That's great, One-Way Passage. So you came in through the door. I'm relieved. "
"You bastard, are you trying to pick a fight?!"
In the Preceding Article, the first player had always been an unapproachable, impulsive and easily angered existence. He did not think that Accelerator would make a normal entrance.
"Actually … I thought you would break through the wall and come in."
"Now that you mention it, I really want to ventilate the walls of your house!"
Looking at the first player whose veins were bulging, the Preceding Article forced out a few dry laughs in an attempt to bluff his way out. But Accelerator did not seem to care so much. The strongest person in Academy City curled his lips.
"Since that brat wants you to temporarily act with me, then you better put away that cowardly attitude of yours! I'll give you two minutes. In two minutes, even your mother won't be able to recognize you. "
Accelerator turned around and gestured indifferently. His expression was so serious that it made the Preceding Article tremble.
"We're leaving."
— — —
Although he did not know what to do next, the Preceding Article obediently followed Accelerator's instructions and took out a slightly oversized woolen jacket from the closet. It was left behind by Bladenight when he came to visit him last time.
The Preceding Article put on the jacket and suddenly had a strange feeling. He usually wore his uniform, but when he tried to wear his father's clothes, he felt unexpectedly mature. It was as if he had grown into a man who could take charge of everything.
Wondering if Accelerator would judge him, the Preceding Article nervously stood in front of the first player. After the first one scanned him from head to toe without mercy, he actually sighed and said, "That's right.
"Are you an idiot?"
"Hah?"
He received an unexpected evaluation.
"Cover your face first! Your unlucky face makes people want to give you a good punch! "
The Preceding Article reflexively looked at Accelerator. Only now did he realize that the first player's attire was indeed different from usual.
A black trench coat that reached his knees tightly wrapped around his entire body. Accelerator pulled down his wide hat and half of his face was hidden in the shadows. What's worse was that he was also wearing a mask.
Although he was dressed to the point that even his own mother would not be able to recognize him, but if he wandered around in this attire, there was an 80% chance that he would be stopped by the guards for a friendly chat.
"Do you have a hat?" For some reason, the Preceding Article seemed to see a fleeting disappointment in Accelerator's eyes.
"… It was blown away by the wind last weekend when I was drying it."
"Scarf."
"The auntie next door took it by mistake and removed the stitches."
Accelerator stared straight at the Preceding Article for a few seconds and finally made a reluctant compromise.
"I can't stand it … You're the only one with an outstanding unlucky index." The first player began to rummage through the contents of the plastic bag in the convenience store. He said coldly with a hint of helplessness, "I accidentally bought an extra mask when I was buying it. You'll have to make do with it."
The Preceding Article stared blankly at the first player who frowned as he rummaged through the plastic bag. Although this temporary companion was harsh, he still secretly cared about Lu Zhou. The Preceding Article showed a gratified smile.
Accelerator stopped moving in confusion.
It's gone …?
He had indeed bought two masks in the morning. Considering the possibility that the incompetent person really couldn't find anything to cover his face, Accelerator stared at the shelves in the convenience store for a long time before he finally angrily picked up another mask and threw it into the shopping basket.
But now, the mask was gone.
"You can't find it?" The Preceding Article poked his head over and was shocked when he saw the number of plastic bags. They were all food that Accelerator bought for Inticus, and there was an incredible variety of food.
Although it was likely that he bought it because he couldn't stand being pestered by Indecia anymore, Shangjou suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart. The strongest person in Academy City in front of him didn't seem to be as cold-blooded and unreasonable as the rumors made him out to be. There was still something cute about him …
"Thank you." The Preceding Article whispered with a smile.
But Accelerator didn't even look at him and continued what he was doing. "I don't remember doing anything for you to thank me."
"You see … it's about Inticus … Thank you for helping her with breakfast …"
Kamijou frankly expressed his gratitude, expressing his gratitude completely. Accelerator glanced at him and didn't say anything, but for some reason, his hand movements became rough and irritated.
The First Article was probably the kind of person who didn't know how to respond to someone's sincere words. His cold expression was simply because he didn't know how to deal with this situation.
For some reason, he just stared at the First Article's frowning face. The Preceding Article's breathing became chaotic, and his normal thoughts were completely disrupted. A certain emotion that he didn't know about was quietly growing.
Accelerator suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. His pale face shocked Shangtiao. He hurriedly asked, "Hey … What happened all of a sudden?"
Accelerator viciously squeezed the bag into a ball, and the place where the mask was supposed to be was now empty. The First Article looked around and finally locked his eyes on Inticus, who was still eating and drinking. With the strongest brain in Academy City, he quickly deduced the truth.
"I'm not looking anymore." Accelerator's voice was trembling, and his face was ugly as he kicked the bag on the ground to the side. Obviously, he had given up on searching.
"Eh … Why did you suddenly …?"
The First Article didn't pay attention to the Preceding Article's words. He sighed in annoyance and stepped out of the Preceding Article's room without any explanation.
This was indeed his mistake. He forgot to take off the mask and directly handed the plastic bag to Inticus.
As for the mask … It was probably in the silver-haired nun's stomach right now.
— —
"Before going to school district 17, use a fake ID. Because crossing school districts can easily expose your whereabouts, you have to be extra careful."
Accelerator pulled the brim of his hat lower. In order to hide his identity, this esper changed to a walking stick. This showed how much he cared about this "secret operation", and he didn't even let go of the slightest detail that could "expose Accelerator's identity."
"I've already asked someone to make the ID. All that's left is to find out the movements of Academy City. This time, it seems like only the Armed Powerless Group has made a move … Hey, are you listening?!"
"I … I'm listening! But Accelerator … Don't I think this will be more conspicuous? "
The one who spoke was the Preceding Article. No, that doesn't seem to be the Preceding Article.
He was wearing a tweed jacket and looked like an adult. But the thing that covered his head, along with his face and vision, was a plastic bag from a convenience store.
As long as he walked on the street, he would attract the attention of passersby.
"As long as you don't show your face, anything is fine."
Rendered speechless by Accelerator's short words, the Preceding Article lowered his head as if he was extremely embarrassed. The plastic bag made a rustling sound. Because he didn't have any props such as a hat or scarf, the Preceding Article was forced to choose it.
The first person from Academy City, who was wearing a mask that also covered his face, pointed at the security robots in the distance and reminded the Preceding Article.
"Those useless scrap metals are equipped with facial recognition devices. Compared to exposing your face, it's safer to dress like this. Although it will arouse the curiosity of idiots walking on the street."
As if he was convinced by Accelerator's words, the Preceding Article nodded thoughtfully.
Although it didn't work on the "hovering loop," it could still fool normal surveillance cameras. Moreover, Academy City didn't use the "hovering loop," so as long as he covered his face, he could hide his whereabouts.
He obtained a fake ID from Fangchuan Kikyo. Although he was inevitably entangled with The Last Work, his mission this time could be considered to have been completed successfully.
The Preceding Article followed behind the first person uneasily. Accelerator didn't say a word along the way, as if he had something on his mind. Naturally, he couldn't take the initiative to speak, so he could only peek anxiously from time to time.
There were fewer pedestrians on the way back, and the flow of people became sparse. Therefore, the Preceding Article rushed to Accelerator's side and walked side by side with him. The first person tilted his head slightly in surprise, then showed a displeased expression.
"I say … Accelerator. Why are you willing to participate in this? "
The Preceding Article asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.
"If I have to say it, aren't you part of the Academy City faction? If it's to avoid chaos, it's understandable, but why stand on the opposite side of Academy City and resist to the end? "
Accelerator stopped in his tracks.
He seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be thinking about what to say.
"… This has nothing to do with you."
In the end, he still chose this ambiguous statement. Perhaps the First One did have something to convey to the Preceding Article, but at this moment, he intended to remain silent. Accelerator was well aware of the darkness of Academy City. Perhaps he did this because he was afraid that Seiji would fall deeper into the Preceding Article.
"No, it's related!"
In the Preceding Article, Fang Xingjian decisively denied Accelerator's statement. Under the first person's astonished gaze, Fang Xingjian firmly said.
"Don't just bury it in your heart. Aren't we partners now? He was a partner who could share the pain and risk his life for him! Although I may be a weak and useless person to you, but even if I am like this … I still want to do what I can to help you! "
Tōma Jōjō's abnormally serious expression, the unreasonable way he treated Accelerator as his partner, and everything about him made Accelerator very unhappy.
"Huh? You misunderstand too much. "
The First One smiled in disgust. Then, in the next second, he mercilessly kicked Fang Xingjian to the ground. An overwhelming sense of violence and intense pain instantly assaulted Fang Xingjian!
Clean and direct.
Merciless.
This was indeed an answer that suited the First One's style.
"To be honest, if you still have such naïve thoughts in your heart, you should stop right now."
Accelerator looked down at him condescendingly. The First One who was currently placing his hand on the electrode showed a look of disdain.
"If there's any relationship between us, it's just that we're using each other and squeezing each other dry. Your attitude of talking to yourself — to be honest, I think it's getting in the way. "
The two of them had a decisive difference in their paths. The starting point, direction, and end point were destined to be vastly different. They didn't have much interaction to begin with, and any contact they made on this point would be futile.
Of course, the Preceding Article understood this. After the mission was over, they would completely go their separate ways and have nothing to do with each other. Being able to spend a brief moment of peace like this was the final point of their lives.
What kind of thoughts and intentions were hidden in the First One's seemingly cold eyes? At least right now, Fang Xingjian still couldn't understand.
But even so, he still wanted to understand.
It was good that they would part, and it was good that they would be sad. If he missed this rare opportunity, then there would be nothing he could do to salvage the situation.
There was a dull pain from his back coming into contact with the rough ground, but the Preceding Article ignored the pain. He looked up at Accelerator with bright eyes as if he wanted to pour out all the emotions in his heart. He resolutely and sincerely stared at this esper.
The two were silent for a long time. In the end, Accelerator made a rare concession. The First One looked away as if he was complaining. He took a step back and motioned for the Preceding Article to stand up.
"… As long as I stay with you, my mood will involuntarily become worse."
The Preceding Article smiled vaguely. "I know."
"One day, I will destroy this place. The arrogance of artificial science — I must personally destroy it. "
"I know."
Still smiling as he replied, the Preceding Article didn't refute Accelerator's words.
Even if this was the reason why Accelerator opposed Academy City, he only smiled as if he wanted to accept everything with a gentle smile.
Accelerator let out a long sigh in annoyance. He turned around so that the Preceding Article couldn't see his expression.
"Sure enough, my mood is terrible."
"Ahaha, I know."
Since they were destined to go their separate ways, then at least stop time at this moment.
At least for now, the time to go their separate ways hasn't arrived yet.
While thinking this, the Preceding Article suddenly heard Accelerator's voice.
"I'll go buy a cup of coffee."
After the First One said this, he decisively turned around and walked towards the vending machine in the distance. In order to reach the Preceding Article's house as quickly as possible, they had to cross the park. But when they passed through the park, the Preceding Article felt strange.
It was too quiet. Usually, there were always people here, but today, it was unusually quiet. It was the same on the way back. There were a lot fewer people passing by.
This unnatural phenomenon, if he wasn't wrong, should be some kind of superpower that could disperse idlers.
If that was the case, could it be that he and Accelerator were being followed and monitored by someone?
Shangjo had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Then that feeling — — came true.
Perhaps it was because of the sunlight, but the Preceding Article caught a fleeting flash of light at that moment. Although the reflection was small, he still accurately determined the terrifying fact that there was a "sniper".
The one being attacked … … was he, or Accelerator?
The Preceding Article quickly looked at Accelerator. At this time, the strongest in Academy City was calmly putting coins into the vending machine as if he didn't notice at all.
What to do?! Accelerator was too far away from him. It would be too late if he ran over. Not to mention, there was a sniper who could shoot at any time. What could he do to get out of this danger?
Shang Gou Tensei gritted his teeth. He opened his mouth to warn Accelerator, but his voice was stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
… … He couldn't call out Accelerator's name! They were both hiding their identities. Rashly calling out the First One's name would only cause more trouble. Then how could he convey the fact that they were being sniped?
No matter what, he had to give it his all!
The Preceding Article tensed up all the nerves in his body. Then, he mustered all his strength and shouted, "Hey!"
Accelerator heard his voice, but he only turned his head slightly and opened the lid of the can. Or rather … … he didn't have any self-awareness.
Shit! The hair on the Preceding Article's body stood on end. Just as he was about to shout a second time, he heard a sound that terrified him the most.
— — The sound of a gunshot.
The enemy was probably less than a hundred meters away. Based on the initial velocity of the M1903A4 sniper rifle, the bullet needed about 0.1172 seconds to hit the Preceding Article. However, the speed of sound had to be taken into account. In reality, it needed about 0.294 seconds for the sound to reach the Preceding Article's ears. In other words, there was no way to dodge.
But the bullet didn't hit the target smoothly.
The Preceding Article was fortunate enough to witness the entire process. Just as he shouted at Accelerator, Accelerator turned his head slightly and opened the lid of the can.
Then, the First One of Academy City's face cracked into a terrifying smile. The esper arched his body slightly, and just a second before the gunshot rang out, he kicked the vending machine fiercely. The heavy and huge machine instantly let out a roar as if it was about to collapse, and flew towards the sniper's location with a whistling sound!
The First One's ability, vector manipulation, displayed unparalleled violence in an instant.
There was no possibility of escape, no room for resistance. This was the crushing power of the "Strongest".
"Regardless of whether the objective lens is coated or not, he doesn't even wear an anti-reflective cover. What an amateur sniper." Accelerator looked at the man struggling miserably under the vending machine and frowned in disdain. "Looks like he's a piece of trash from the Anti-Academy City faction, and his accomplice hasn't arrived yet."
The Preceding Article was still in shock. He gasped for air as he tried to calm his pounding heart. He suddenly remembered that the First One didn't turn off the electrodes after kicking him. That meant — — Accelerator already knew someone was following them? With this thought in mind, the Preceding Article spat out his doubts.
"Since the enemy has a gun, why wait until now to deal with him?"
"Tsk … Even this needs to be explained? It's too conspicuous on the streets, and … only this place has a vending machine. "
You just want to kick the vending machine?! You're not an elementary school student!
Accelerator glanced at the man who couldn't move. He stepped on the sniper rifle next to his hand, and then easily broke the man's limbs as he howled in pain.
Looking at Accelerator who completed this series of actions so smoothly, the Preceding Article's heart suddenly trembled. Although he knew the other party was preventing the enemy from causing any more danger to him, but the First One — — looked cold and resolute.
"Stop … Accelerator, there's no need to be so ruthless."
He wavered as he spoke. The First One hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said. "Shut up, don't get in the way! This is just a basic insurance measure. "
Accelerator's back seemed so resolute in front of him, yet it was also so heart-wrenching.
The Preceding Article hesitated for a moment, but he didn't step forward to stop him. Because he clearly heard the First One say in a low and hoarse voice:
"Don't get in my way. Since I'm your bodyguard, I have to minimize the risk. "
Perhaps, this was Accelerator's unique way of showing concern.
Or was it that he didn't really understand the existence of "Accelerator"?
They were clearly comrades.
They were clearly comrades.
They were close, but at the same time unreachable.
What kind of person was "Accelerator"? Before he understood this, the two of them would probably have to separate and walk their own paths. But at least now, The Preceding Article felt like he had a different understanding of this esper than before.
— — That was, "Accelerator" was a living existence, an existence no different from a normal person.
"I'll only say it once, listen carefully." The First One stared at The Preceding Article with an impatient gaze.
Under this oppressive gaze, The Preceding Article straightened his back, and a nervous expression appeared on his face. "Please, please speak … …"
Perhaps because he acted too unnaturally, it attracted attention. Accelerator revealed a slightly surprised expression, but the First One wasn't someone who cared about this kind of detail. "Hey … … What are you afraid of?"
The Preceding Article immediately wanted to explain. "No, this is … …"
"Forget it, this kind of thing is fine no matter what."
Accelerator squashed the can in his hand in annoyance, and then a sharp glint appeared in the eyes of Academy City's Strongest.
"Although my identity hasn't been exposed yet, the forces of Academy City have already come knocking on our door. You'll probably be at the center of the storm from now on, and it's already too late for you to escape. "
Accelerator looked up at the blood-red sky dyed by the setting sun. "Although it seems like we're on Academy City's side, our goal is completely different from theirs. We want to obtain the command file before they destroy the interference device, so we need to be careful with the timing. "
"What's the specific time … …?" The Preceding Article asked somewhat uneasily. He secretly clenched his fist and exhaled deeply.
The Academy City's Strongest was expressionless. The flattened can drew a beautiful arc in his hand and fell into the trash with a clang.
A heart-stopping voice.
"— — On the night of the 20th, we'll kill our way into their headquarters."
***
The Preceding Article woke up in severe pain.
It wasn't because of Inticus's bite, nor was it because of the disturbing alarm.
A morning without Inticus's bite — — Although it was a bit strange, the Preceding Article didn't feel unexpectedly refreshed this time.
All the bones in his body groaned, and his joints ached. This was probably because he had to scramble and crawl to escape from the secret passage in Room 203 last night.
The Preceding Article slowly got up and glanced at the cracked screen of his phone.
It was now 7 o 'clock in the morning of the 21st, and the weather had turned from cloudy to drizzling.
He actually fell asleep in exhaustion outside the operating room. Perhaps it was because of the change in weather, but the Preceding Article was shivering, and his teeth were chattering.
In the silent hospital corridor, he buried his head deep into his hands, feeling the bone-chilling cold of the chair as he silently sobbed.
— — Already, there was no going back.
It was already too late.
Slow footsteps came from the corridor, and the owner of the footsteps stopped in front of the Preceding Article.
"Let me say this first, I don't like patients who don't take care of their own bodies."
The Preceding Article slowly and stiffly raised his head like a machine. You could even hear the "Ka Ka" sound when he turned his neck. His tired and dull eyes showed some vitality when he saw the frog-like face. The Preceding Article asked in a hoarse voice.
"Doctor, Accelerator, he …"
After trying his best to get rid of the pursuers, the Preceding Article dragged his weary body back to School District 7 from School District 17. A night of running around and mental fatigue was constantly eroding him. Although he wanted to fall asleep immediately, Akira Jojo had more important things waiting for him — —
He entrusted his last hope to the frog-faced doctor known as the "Underworld Soul Hunter." Other than the Preceding Article, there was no other way.
It wasn't over yet. He hadn't fallen yet. He couldn't despair yet.
— — The situation of admitting defeat hadn't come yet.
With this simple belief, the Preceding Article was able to hold on until now. But now, when he saw the frog-faced doctor's gloomy face, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Behind the frog-faced doctor was a cloudy sky. As if on purpose, it made his face even darker.
"— — Sure enough, it's still not working?"
The Preceding Article said so, but he didn't notice that his throat had begun to choke.
Ahhh, sure enough, even God wants to give him misfortune at the end?
His vision became even darker. The Preceding Article felt that his breath was unusually hot, but what swept through his mind was a terrible cold.
"No, Accelerator — — has woken up."
"Huh?"
"He was just in shock before, but now he is out of danger."
The Preceding Article's voice was full of disbelief due to excessive surprise. He blinked a few times and finally understood the meaning of the frog-faced doctor's words.
"Really … … Is this true!?"
His heart rate rose sharply, and he felt dizzy because of the surprise. After staggering a few steps, he finally couldn't support his body and fell to the ground. The Preceding Article took a few deep breaths, but he still couldn't stop his body from trembling with excitement.
"Great … … Great … … I don't know how to express this feeling at all … … Should I say that I'm very happy … … I'm so happy that I'm about to cry … …"
The Preceding Article repeated over and over again with a trembling voice. In the end, he gritted his teeth, stood up with the help of the wall, and walked shakily to Accelerator's ward.
Although his body was still in pain, it didn't matter anymore.
As long as Accelerator came back, it was fine.
Step by step, he struggled to walk to the front of the ward. The Preceding Article's hand that wanted to open the door was suspended in the air, but he hesitantly retracted it.
— — What should I say when we meet?
Although I really want to preach to the first person who acted recklessly, it's not good for the patient … … right?
Bring up the topic of the weather first! No, today's weather is so bad that I can't joke about it … …
Maybe he'll say something like "You're such a hindrance, it's so annoying to visit a patient" or something like that.
The Preceding Article tried to imagine the scene, and then he laughed happily. Because he hadn't smiled like this for a long time, his facial muscles were in pain.
Anyway, just try to greet him like you usually do, right?
He pushed the door open.
— — —
In the room, Accelerator was sinking into the soft pillow on the bed, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window as if he was thinking about something.
Soft white hair, unique crimson eyes, and sickly white skin. Every single one of them was the number one player of Academy City, Accelerator, whom Seiji knew from the previous timeline.
It was a scene that he thought he would never see again.
Thousands of words were stuck in his throat. The Preceding Article took a step toward Accelerator in a daze. Perhaps because he was in a daze, the First Person didn't move his eyes away from the glass window.
The black-haired boy carefully walked toward Accelerator step by step.
It was like a dream.
Shangjo stood behind Accelerator for a long time and stuttered, but he was overjoyed as he spoke.
"Yo, the weather is good today!"
Because he was too excited, he began to panic and spoke without thinking. However, thanks to this call, Accelerator finally noticed his presence and slowly turned his head around.
A cold expression. This was the most emotional expression that the Preceding Article had seen on the First Person's face, so he didn't notice the abnormality.
The suffocating sense of "despair" that had lingered in the room from the beginning.
After a long silence, Accelerator's lips moved slightly.
Kamijou looked at him in confusion. With a look of surprise and anticipation, he looked at the superpower user who had just awakened.
— — Then that expression was immediately dyed with the darkness of despair and pain.
Accelerator moved his lips slightly and uttered a few syllables.
“E5%AF？”
He said.
***
X. 21st Month
Just like how writing the entire command file at the highest speed on a disk would damage the magnetic head, Accelerator's brain was also damaged.
Although the diencephalon's hypothalamic nerves weren't damaged and could still maintain the body's constancy and autonomic nervous system, because the hypothalamus was disconnected from the Osaka Networks, it couldn't carry out normal sensory relays and control movements. The cerebral cortex was completely occupied by the command file data, and the thinking circuit was damaged.
Because connecting to the Osaka Networks would cause data leakage, Accelerator chose to disconnect. The consequences of this were: loss of speech and motor control failure. And the consequences of writing large amounts of data was loss of thinking ability and inability to process high-level information.
The solution was originally to export the data in the brain, but Accelerator had unknowingly converted the data into an A-level password while importing it. Decrypting and exporting the data required a large amount of computing power. Without connecting to the Osaka Networks, exporting the data was basically impossible.
But this created a contradiction. Accelerator connecting to the Osaka Networks would cause data leakage, which could lead to a disaster that could paralyze the entire Academy City. Without connecting to the Osaka Networks, there was no way to export the files.
If the files weren't exported as soon as possible, the burden on Accelerator's brain would continue to increase, resulting in greater damage.
In other words, it was likely that his life would be in real danger.

***
In a small ward.
The breathing of the Preceding Article was disordered again. He bit his cracked lower lip and staggered to Accelerator's bed.
Then, as if he wanted to hug the whole world, he hugged the white-haired, red-eyed superhuman who had completely lost his self-consciousness.
The drizzle wet the glass window, and the rain dripped down the curtains to the ground. It was like sobbing, like crying, mourning for something that had passed.
The seemingly cold, but surprisingly gentle Accelerator no longer existed.
The same was true for the two who had spent an unforgettable and novel time together.
