'What kind of country is this … I can't understand it at all!'
Bee-eating Cao Qi was dumbfounded.
Tang Hao continued, "That's right, this organization has two superpower users in it. They're the Super Electromagnetic Gun and Atomic Collapse. They also have three Almighties. Even the strongest organization in Gakuen City, Fang Tong, is in urgent contact. They're looking forward to your joining!"
"Wait, wait!" Misaka Mikoto suddenly realized something. "Could this so-called Sun Sky organization be …"
"That's right, I'm the founder."
"Ah, I knew it …" Misaka Mikoto rubbed her forehead. She looked exhausted. "When did you decide on this?"
"It hasn't even been twenty-four hours."
"How stupid." Bee-eating Cao Qi suddenly put down her glass of orange juice and smiled faintly. "Although I'm grateful for your invitation, I'm not interested in your house wine. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving … Ah, what a pity. If you were Misaka's boyfriend, I would've snatched you over and played with Misaka. It seems like our fate ends here."
After saying that, the girl took out 500 yen from her bag and paid for her glass of orange juice. Then, with a flick of her hair, she turned around and left.
"This b * stard …" Misaka Mikoto's forehead flashed. Bee-eating Cao Qi's words had obviously pissed her off. She turned around and saw that Tang Hao did not react at all. "Hey, are you just going to let her go like that?"
She felt that it was better for Bee-eating Cao Qi to leave as soon as possible. She always felt uncomfortable being around this b * stard. However, she had spent a lot of effort to bring her out. It was quite a pity that they did not manage to come to an agreement.
Tang Hao's expression was as calm as ever. He only looked up when Bee-eating Cao Qi walked to the entrance of the shop and the glass door opened automatically. "Queen, do you remember Tao Li from the artificial room?"
"Thud!"
Beekeeper Cao Qi's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. His pair of eyes widened, no longer showing the carefree attitude he had before.
Then, Tang Hao came to her side and said nonchalantly, "If you still remember this name and plan to do something about it, then come with me. If this name is no longer essential to you, then pretend that nothing happened today."
Unknowingly, Bee-Eater Cao Qi finally snapped out of her daze. She stared at Tang Hao's back a few meters away, and her fingers unconsciously pressed down on the remote control. If she could, she wanted to ruthlessly strike Tang Hao, and thoroughly dig out the secrets in his brain, but...
"I've been tricked! Damn bastard!"
The young girl cursed fiercely in her heart, clenched her teeth, and finally followed.
No matter what, she couldn't ignore the name "Dolly".
How much did this man know about this?
…
Aresta had arranged for Tang Hao to stay in one of the student dormitories in the 7th School District. It was a completely independent building with luxurious facilities. If it was in the world where Tang Hao came from, he would basically go bankrupt after staying there for a week.
"Please come in."
Tang Hao opened the door and invited the two girls behind him.
"Oh, so you live here. That's pretty close." Misaka Mikoto walked in as if nothing had happened. However, Bee-Eater Cao Qi's eyes were filled with caution. Her psychological manipulation ability did not work on Tang Hao, so she was unable to read his memories and goals. Hence, she could not determine if he was a friend or foe.
To Bee-Eater Cao Qi, uncertain things like assistance and trust were not worth trusting. No matter who the other party was, she would only be able to act after she had peeked into the other party's brain … In other words, she would feel insecure if she did not understand the other party's mind. That was why she was wary of Misaka Mikoto.
At times like this, she could only rely on her intuition …
She looked at Tang Hao who was smiling innocently, then looked at Misaka Mikoto who had already entered the house. Finally, Bee-Eater Cao Qi let out a sigh and walked in … Ah, if her judgment was wrong, her actions would be equivalent to a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Bang!
The sound of the door closing was enough to make Bee-Eater Cao Qi's heart skip a beat even though she maintained a nonchalant expression on her face.
"Take a seat. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to eat or drink. Well, it's my second time here, so I still don't remember what's in the fridge." Tang Hao invited the two to sit down. He opened the fridge and scanned the interior.
"It's okay." Bee-Eater Cao Qi sat on the sofa. Her graceful movements were tinged with caution. "I'm not here to eat or drink. How much do you know about that name?"
"Tao Li …" Misaka Mikoto mumbled softly. She had asked Tang Hao about it on the way here and was curious about it. However, it was strange that Bee-Eater Cao Qi would take the initiative to follow him after hearing that name.
"Hehe." Tang Hao sat down on the sofa opposite the two of them and smiled. "Let's relax first. I've already gotten someone to rearrange this room. There are no listening devices, nor are there any surveillance devices. Even Aresta won't be able to monitor this place without breaking the barrier. So everyone can talk freely."
Bee-Eater Cao Qi's eyes flashed as she smiled. "However, this also means that no matter what you do here, no one else will know."
"You're right." Tang Hao nodded. His gaze was suddenly filled with aggression. "So, if I'm a pervert, you'll be in danger today."
Bee-Eater Cao Qi could not laugh anymore.
Misaka Mikoto, on the other hand, felt an inexplicable sense of comfort. Although she knew that Tang Hao was joking, she needed someone with a worse personality to deal with someone with a worse personality.
"Alright, let's stop joking." Tang Hao waved his hand and put on a serious face. "First of all, about the name Tao Li … From what I know, she's Misaka Mikoto's clone, number 0. She should be dead by now."
"Huh?"
This time, it was Misaka Mikoto's turn to laugh.
"Wait, wait! Didn't we stop the experiment before it started? Why are there other sisters … Number 0? "
Misaka Mikoto's pupils shrunk as she realized the problem.
"That's right. From the conclusion, the experiment with an absolute ability has been stopped. However, there are still many problems before that." Tang Hao looked at the two of them. "Twenty thousand Misaka sisters. Although their lifespans are much shorter than ordinary people, to the researchers, they're already finished products. Since an experiment started from scratch, how many unfinished products will die before the finished product is something that no one knows except for the researchers.
"Tao Li, as test subject 0, was born in the form of the Misaka sisters. Other than establishing the clone technology, she was also created to build the Misaka Network."
"This … you didn't say anything about this before …"
Misaka Mikoto scratched her head. She was not complaining, but she was annoyed that she knew nothing about it.
As the only person with a normal personality among the seven superhumans, Misaka Mikoto's thoughts were often naive. Of course, this was also because there was too little darkness in her. If not for the existence of her 'sisters', she would have lived a happy life on the surface in Gakuen City. As for the other six, they all had their own darkness in the process of developing their superpowers.
"Were you the ones who stopped the experiment with an absolute ability?" Bee-eating Cao Qi asked.
"Looks like you already know." Tang Hao smiled. Unlike Misaka Mikoto, Bee-eating Cao Qi also had one foot in the dark. It was precisely because she knew about the dark side of Gakuen City that she established the so-called faction. In fact, she had spies everywhere from Changpantai to the other famous schools, to the research center, and even some organizations outside of Gakuen City. She had a huge intelligence network.
With such an intelligence network, she probably knew the most insider information among the seven superhumans.
Bee-eating Cao Qi sighed. "I only received the information last night. How did you guys do it?"
"That's not important. If you want to know, it's not like I can't tell you in the future. But at least for now, I still need an answer from you. You are Dolly's friend, so at least on this matter, we should be able to work together, right?"
"Huh? Tao Li's friend? "
Misaka Mikoto was stunned once again. Tao Li was her clone and Bee-eating Cao Qi was her nemesis. However, according to Tang Hao, these two were friends. How was that possible?
'That's not right. This conversation should be directed at Bee-eating Cao Qi. Why am I the one who's surprised? This Gakuen City … How many secrets are there that I'm not aware of?'
On the other hand, Bee-eating Cao Qi was not surprised. In fact, when she heard Tang Hao mention Tao Li's name, she was already mentally prepared.
"That's right. When we were in the artificial room, I did interact with Tao Li, but …" Bee-eating Cao Qi unconsciously clenched her fists and smiled. "That's only because she treated me as a friend. If she's really that important to me, why didn't I stop the experiment with an absolute ability? I'm not that kind of person to ask for my help. "
"Is that so?"
Tang Hao smiled noncommittally and took out a note from his pocket.
"Bee-eating Cao Qi, although she seems to enjoy manipulating other people's minds and is a little self-conscious, she's actually a tsundere. She'll use barter to hide her shyness. She'll never trample on other people's hearts. Sometimes, she'll even risk her life for other people's hearts. She's also engaged in many charity projects. She's even visited students with severe disabilities and wrote letters to their families and friends. So, she's actually a good person …"
"Wait! What are you reading? "
Bee-eating Cao Qi stood up and snatched the note from Tang Hao's hand.
Tang Hao was not bothered. He spread his arms and smiled. "No matter how you pretend to be a bad person, Baidu Baike has already washed you clean."
