"Of course, that's just an excuse." Before Sei Itō could say anything, Shokuhou Misaki explained herself.
"Excuse?" Sei Itō frowned as he looked at Shokuhou Misaki in confusion.
"The real purpose of the [Exterior] project is to allow everyone to use my ability. As long as someone logs into the [Exterior], no matter if they're an aptitude user or an ordinary person, they'll be able to use the [Mind Control] ability! This is a toy. "Shokuhou Misaki said casually as she brushed her hair behind her ear.
"That's a really powerful [Toy]," Ito Sei exclaimed softly with a look of surprise. Then he changed the topic and looked at Shokuhou Misaki with interest. "This thing, or should I say, this is your biggest secret right? Why are you telling me about it so easily?"
"There's nothing I can do about it. Your power has exceeded my expectations, and you have an impressive intelligence network. Your existence has become an unexpected variable in this operation." Shokuhou Misaki sighed helplessly.
"So, you were the one who kidnapped Misaka-san?" Sei Itō tilted his head and asked.
"That's right." Shokuhou Misaki admitted without hesitation.
"If that's the case, you just need to return her to me. I'll pretend I didn't see this and leave. How about that? "Sei Itō said.
"Don't you want to know why I took her away?" Shokuhou Misaki said lazily.
"If you want to say it, I'm all ears." Ito Sei spread out his hands in front of him and shrugged.
"Someone has their eyes on them." Shokuhou Misaki said seriously.
"Who?" Sei Itō asked with a frown. This incident was something that he had never seen in the original novel or the anime, so Ito Sei had no idea who the mastermind behind this incident was and why. He couldn't take the initiative to attack like before. He could only defend himself as if he was guarding against a thief.
"Kihara Gensei!" Shokuhou Misaki replied. "Have you heard of this name?" Shokuhou Misaki asked.
"It's like thunder in my ears." Kihara Gensei's name reminded her of all the horrible things he had done in the original work. Sei Itō sighed with a serious expression.
"He's willing to do anything to find out the truth. He destroyed many aptitude users and research facilities. He's one of the pioneers of the Academy's urban system research field. He's the one that you're familiar with - [Absolute Ability Evolution]. "Shokuhou Misaki explained slowly.
"You mean, he wants to restart that plan?" Ito Sei said in a deep voice. He didn't wait for Shokuhou Misaki to answer. He answered his own question. "If he wants to restart that project. What's the point of stealing a sister? And even if it's useful, who's going to be the test subject for the Absolute Ability Evolution? As far as I know, other than that mysterious sixth person, there's no one else in Academy City. The other six people, including you, shouldn't be interested in that kind of childish game that's like killing monsters to level up. "
"That old man probably doesn't want to restart the project. Maybe there's something else going on in the Misaka Network?" Shokuhou Misaki said in a low voice.
"Misaka Network …" Ito Sei couldn't help but think of his final work. He frowned and muttered to himself. Sei Itō's expression changed as he looked at Shokuhou Misaki with a serious expression. "Where's Kihara Gensei right now?"
"It took me a lot of effort to lock onto that elusive old man." Shokuhou Misaki curled her lips and said. "The most accurate location I know is tomorrow afternoon at 14 PM, at the International Ability Research Conference in School District 9. I read the memories of the insiders, so it should be correct. "
"I'm planning to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rid of them in one go." Shokuhou Misaki put her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly. The heavy weight on her chest caused her sleeveless sportswear to fall slightly, revealing a bit of her smooth white skin. She looked at Ito Sensei with a flirtatious expression and said in a coquettish voice.
"You mean, you don't want me to interfere?" Sei Itō glanced at Shokuhou Misaki's fair skin and said.
"I won't give up on someone like you who defeated the first person. Although our goal is the same, I can tell you that I don't trust you. So tomorrow, we will act separately. Don't hold me back. "Shokuhou Misaki acted like she didn't notice Sei Itō looking at her. She slowly straightened her back and said flirtatiously.
"As long as you don't cause me any trouble." Sei Itō said lightly. He then shifted the topic back to Misaka's sister. "Alright, return the sister that you kidnapped to me."
"Not yet." Shokuhou Misaki refused.
"What do you mean?" Ito Sei squinted his eyes as a chilling aura emanated from his body, causing the temperature in the room to drop by 3 to 4 degrees. Shokuhou Misaki who was only wearing a sleeveless sportswear felt a chill down her spine as she said in a cold voice.
"Aiyaya, are you angry?" Shokuhou Misaki shrugged her shoulders and tucked her neck downwards. She rubbed her left arm with her right arm for warmth. When she saw Ito Sei's face getting more and more serious, she quickly explained. "That child's body has been infected with military nanomachines, but because of her electrical ability, the nanomachines have mutated a little. Therefore, the nanomachines vaccine alone can't completely heal her, so I think it's best to keep her here for the time being."
"If we just send her to an outside hospital like this, she might be found out very quickly by the other party. You know, our opponent this time is the Black Ops of Academy City who specialize in dirty work. "Shokuhou Misaki added.
"Can you guarantee that this place is absolutely safe?" After hearing Shokuhou Misaki's explanation, Ito Sei pondered for a moment and asked.
"All the staff in this building are under my control. Every time I enter this place, I erase the memories of everyone who comes with me. Apart from people like you who found out about this place from who-knows-where and barged in without permission, no one can enter this place without being noticed, "Shokuhou Misaki explained to Ito Seiji with a displeased expression.
Sei Itō nodded and said. "If that's the case, let's leave the child here for now. But before we leave, I want to see her."
"Sure, come with me." Shokuhou Misaki didn't even think about it before agreeing to such a normal request. She turned around and led Sei Itō to another door in the room. Then, he opened the door and entered a dimly lit room that was about 30 square meters in size. There was a multifunctional treatment bed in the room.
On the multi-purpose bed, her breathing was rapid. She was sweating all over. Misaka Sister No. 10032 appeared in Ito Sei's vision. Her eyes were closed and she was still unconscious.
Sei Itō walked around Shokuhou Misaki and stood in front of her. He ignored the blonde man in the suit who stood up from his chair and walked to the multi-purpose bed. He placed his hand on Misaka Sister's arm. He closed his eyes and used Psychokinesis to check on Sister 10032's condition.
Under the psychokinesis derivative ability, Life Control, a bunch of insect-shaped nanomachines that were a few times smaller than cells appeared in Ito Sei's mind. They flowed through Misaka sister's blood and spread throughout her body.
"Do you have a syringe here?" Sei Itō opened his eyes and asked the blonde man.
The blonde man looked at Shokuhou Misaki. After Shokuhou Misaki nodded, he walked to the side and took out a syringe that was still sealed and tossed it to Sei Itō.
Ito Sei reached out and grabbed the syringe that was thrown to him. He opened the package and took out the syringe. He removed the needle cover and inserted the empty syringe into the vein of Misaka Sister's forearm. He then pulled the bolus and extracted half of the blood sample.
"I'm leaving, I hope you can take good care of her." Sei Itō put the syringe back on the syringe and said to Shokuhou Misaki. Under the watchful eyes of Shokuhou Misaki and the blonde man, he slowly walked out of the room and disappeared from their sight.
"That man was …" After Sei Itō left, the blonde man looked at Shokuhou Misaki, who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.
"Rumor has it that he defeated the first Esper who single-handedly destroyed the Absolute Ability evolution experiment, Ito Sei." Shokuhou Misaki replied in a soft voice.
On the other hand, after Yi Tongcheng left the [Artificial Room], he sent the syringe hidden in his hand into the Rubik's Cube world and told Selene to use the blood sample in his hand to create a special vaccine that could eliminate the nanomachines in the sample. Then, he headed toward Fangchuan Kikyo, Inticus, and The Last Work.
"Since Kihara Gensei's target might be the Misaka Network, I might as well stay by The Last Work's side to protect her. That way, even if he wants to use the Misaka Network, I can use The Last Work to stop him." Sei Itō thought to himself.
Halfway through the journey, Olianna Thompson, who was dressed in a Persian dancer's uniform, was only wearing a red laced corset which was hung by a string thinner than a finger, exposing her shoulders, arms and the entire back of her abdomen, as well as a mini skirt which only covered her lower abdomen and buttocks. The parts below her thighs were all covered by a dozen long white leggings which were about 1.5 cm in width. Ito Sei caught sight of Olianna Thompson.
"Yo, big sister." Ito Sei, with a strange smile on his face, walked towards Oriana Thomson and greeted her. At the same time, he asked telepathically, "Why are you still here?"
"Ah, it's little brother. I didn't expect us to be so fated to meet each other." Oriana Thomson replied with a charming smile on her face. Then, she replied telepathically, "Because I haven't finished my work yet."
"Looks like you're determined to help that religious madman finish his work," Sei Itō said telepathically while he pretended to be talking nonsense with Oriana Thompson.
"There's nothing I can do about it. It's your fault for not being willing to tell me the details of the plan. It's hard for me to believe that you're telling the truth, so I can only continue doing this job that looks promising," Oriana Thomson, who was playing along with the act, replied inwardly.
"Whatever. You can do whatever you want. I guess you'll only listen to me when you hit the wall." Sei Itō sighed in his heart. Then, on the surface, he bade farewell to Olianna Thomson and kissed her passionately again. They then parted ways and continued heading towards their respective destinations.
About 20 minutes later, Sei Itō returned to School District 7. He found Inticus and The Final Work playing in an amusement center, as well as Fangchuan Kikyo, who was quietly drinking a canned drink.
"How's it going?" Fangchuan Kikyo nodded at Sei Itō who was walking toward her. She then asked after Sei Itō stopped beside her.
Fangchuan Kikyo was one of the few researchers in the Absolute Ability Evolution Project who had feelings for The Final Work and the 20,000 sisters other than experimental animals. This could be clearly seen from the fact that she wanted to give each of the Misaka sisters a name in the original work and wanted to distinguish them with her own eyes. She also almost died for The Final Work.
"We've found the whereabouts of the Misaka sister, but for some reason, she's temporarily staying there. We'll bring her back tomorrow." Sei Itō, who was sitting beside Fangchuan Kikyo and watching Inticus and The Final Work fighting in front of a fighting game console, said softly.
Fangchuan Kikyo nodded slightly. She didn't ask for any details. Clearly, she was very clear about her position. She didn't want to get involved in things that were beyond her ability, so as to avoid bringing danger to herself.
Sei Itō did not ask further. He sat there quietly and rested. After a while, Inticus and The Final Work, who were tired of playing, discovered his presence. The peace was broken again.
After that, Sei Itō played with Inticus and The Final Work for a while more. Then, he invited Fangchuan Kikyo to have dinner together. After dinner, he sent her back to her apartment and arranged a meeting time for the next day. Then, he brought Inticus and The Final Work back to their dormitory to rest.
The next day, after a night of rest, the three of them woke up, washed up, and had dinner. They walked out of the dormitory together and looked at the meeting place they had agreed to meet with Fangchuan Kikyo yesterday. Together, they strolled around Academy City.
