According to the researcher's "Absolute Ability User Project," the girl with the same face as the flat-chested, electric girl, and who almost exploded with anger when she got sarcastic, would become the first experience beast to die at the hands of the first person in this project, right?
Although I've tried my best not to think about that incident, but...
The same clones, even the same mother, and both were about to lose their lives because of a ridiculous plan. How could they just forget about it?
Besides, killing 20,000 guys who aren't even level 4 will get you to level 6? Do you think this is some kind of large-scale virtual reality game?
"What, want to uphold justice?" Seeing the girl, who was about to leave the alley, turn back to face him and notice the struggle in her eyes, Bai Ye looked at her with interest.
As expected, he's still a student. Although he enjoys certain privileges in Academy City because of his Level 5 status, he hasn't reached the almost twisted level of a Godslayer.
"Don't you two find it strange that the designer of the tree diagram, who is known for his meticulousness, would create something like the 'Absolute Ability User Project,' which is like a joke? Apart from those researchers who have been brainwashed into madness, anyone with a normal brain would think there's something wrong with this, right?"
"Well, that makes sense, but who cares before failure is certain?"
"……"hateful!
"Date: XXXX year X month XX day".
Location: A small alley next to XX Street in the Seventh School District.
"The first person to arrive at the experimental site has been confirmed, meeting the conditions for starting the experiment. The first experiment of the Absolute Ability User Project will begin."
Before Misaki Shokuhou could figure out how to rescue Misaka 00001, who shared the same origin as Dolly, in front of the number one, Misaka 00001 made the first move.
As she pulled a small knife from who-knows-where and charged at Accelerator expressionlessly, everyone present, including Accelerator himself, felt a jolt of fear...
Are you kidding me? You think you can take first place with this? Do you think you're holding Bear Grylls's knife?
……
"You should calm down first." Grabbing Misaka 00001's hand holding the knife, Byakuya slapped her neck with a backhand chop, and after confirming she was unconscious, casually tossed her onto the blonde girl...
"what!"
Amid the girl's screams, the two fell to the ground together.
Bai Ye covered her face, making an expression that she couldn't bear to look at her: "I'm not saying this, but your physical fitness is really too poor, isn't it? Don't you guys in Academy City have physical education classes?"
"Huh? Why do you think I can't even skip a simple PE class?" After Misaka 00001 was lifted up by Byakuya, Shokuhou Misaki also got up from the ground and looked at him strangely: "You just acted like a level 999 villain, but you stepped in at the most crucial moment to prevent things from getting worse. So, this strange gentleman... whose side are you on?"
"Let's not talk about which side we're on... Can we go somewhere else to talk? I feel a bit strange having a conversation in this dimly lit alley."
"Okay~"
Looking up and finding no surveillance cameras in the alley, the girl reached into her bag, picked up a remote control, and pressed a switch, implanting the memory that Misaka 00001 had been turned into mincemeat by Accelerator into the researchers watching her.
Chapter 189 "Make a sound?" "Squeak~"
A few minutes later, in a 24-hour café, Misaki Shokuhou stirred a cup of unsweetened coffee with a spoon, her eyes darting back and forth between Byakuya and Accelerator...
As for Misaka 00001, who is still unconscious, just let her lie on the chair; the waiters won't bother her anyway.
"So... what's going on between you two? Based on what I know, as the first person, you should be the core of this plan, even more so than those 20,000... And even if you don't want to participate for some reason, that's fine..." Her gaze finally settled on Bai Ye's face: "You just finished a phone call with the chairman, right?"
"So it's the 21st century already, it's not surprising that people smile to your face and stab you in the back, right?" Bai Ye said with a smile, stuffing a piece of pastry into his mouth.
Although it was the night shift, the pastry chef's skills did not suffer; at least he wasn't just going through the motions.
"Well……"
I need to properly apologize to the words "21st century." What kind of experiences could have led you to develop such a flawed worldview that you can't even bear to look at yourself?
Then came a long silence, so long that even Bai Ye couldn't help but yawn.
Finally unable to hold back any longer, Yi put down his empty cup and turned to look at Bai Ye: "So why are we wasting time here with this woman? Shouldn't the most important thing right now be to settle her in?"
As she spoke, she pointed to Misaka No. 1, who was still standing to the side with her eyes closed.
"And after dealing with her, we need to think about what to do next. I don't think those researchers will let their plan fail, especially with a chairman of the board involved..."
“There’s no need to worry about Aleister. Just make sure these Misaka don’t suddenly die or leave this world.” Byakuya interrupted Accelerator’s speech: “As long as you don’t go outside and make a scene, no one will say anything.”
"What about the researchers in charge of the Absolute Ability User Project?"
“Researcher…” Bai Ye closed his eyes: “Let me first check if there are any mind control-related items in my collection. If there are, it will be much simpler.”
"Mind control?" First Ability looked at Misaki Shokuhou sitting opposite her: "I remember your codename is Mind Control... right?"
Nod~ Nod~
"No need to look anymore, she should be fine." Yifang nudged Baiye, who was still searching.
Misaki Shokuhou was speechless... Just a few minutes ago you said that sitting with me was a waste of time, wasn't it?
Does this mean that when the tree diagram designers ranked level 5, they considered not only the quality and development level of the abilities, but also the integrity level of the ability users?
"Shouldn't you have asked for my opinion before making a decision for me?"
"You have a problem... I'll kill you?"
"..." Please, don't use questions when you're threatening someone! It's creepy to hear!
He glanced at Bai Ye. Although he neither agreed with nor opposed the way the other party handled the situation, this was enough to show his stance.
……
The next morning, the site of the second test of the "Absolute Ability" project.
The location was chosen to be somewhere that wouldn't be captured on surveillance cameras. After several researchers drove Misaka No. 2 there, they all froze and squatted down in a neat row in the corner like idiots.
"How about it?"
“I’ve already altered the memories of these people. It seems they haven’t discovered what I did last night. At least for now, the plan is feasible.” At this point, Misaki Shokuhou glanced at Misaka No. 2, who had been knocked down by Byakuya and was being held up by Accelerator: “But once or twice might be okay. Don’t forget that there are a total of 20,000 individuals who need to participate in the experiment. You don’t really think that no one will notice anything amiss after so many times, do you?”
"The key issue isn't whether the accident will be discovered, but whether the person in real power wants to discover the accident... You know what I mean, right?" Bai Ye gave a rather philosophical answer.
As he suspected, although the overseeing council nominally controlled the entire Academy City, the real power lay with a certain man who was soaking in formaldehyde... a certain man hanging upside down in a life support device. Perhaps the other council members thought they could still challenge the chairman, but that was just what Aleister wanted them to think...
Aleister's ability to manage Academy City to its current state is no joke.
Nodding thoughtfully, Misaki Shokuhou suddenly realized another pressing problem when she saw the girl wearing goggles in Accelerator's hand...
"Even if we don't have to worry about being discovered, what about them? Don't be fooled by the fact that Academy City has more than two million people. The appearance of two identical faces is enough to become an urban legend. If there are 20,000 identical faces, anyone who isn't an idiot will notice the problem!"
Yesterday, although I was coerced into joining this trio's group, I was able to help the Misaka Sisters who share the same origin as Dolly. Although I didn't say it out loud, I still felt secretly pleased... It would have been even better if the Mother wasn't that guy who would discharge electricity for no reason.
But once she actually joined, she realized it wasn't just a pitfall, it was a total abyss!
The first level 5 player, who seems to lack common sense, appears to be very powerful, but after a thorough investigation, it turns out that he is just an unregistered person named Bai Ye. The reason why this duo has not fallen yet is definitely because of their combat power, which is comparable to a mobile nuclear bomb. There is no other possibility!
Last night, after she joined this little group 1.6, she also saw the place where the two of them settled Misaka No. 1, which was just the sofa in Accelerator's apartment.
In such a small place, let alone 20,000 people, even cramming in four or five would probably already affect normal life, right?
"This question..." Bai Ye looked up and gave the middle finger: "Don't tell me you didn't even think of such a basic question. If you have any plans, then say so. If you haven't, then hurry up and make some plans."
"..."
Under Aiwas's gaze, as if he had discovered a new continent, Aleister exhaled a long string of bubbles. At the same time, the loudspeakers in the area where Byakuya, Shokuhou, and Accelerator were located simultaneously emitted a sound that was listed as one of the top ten urban legends of the year—
"Squeak~"
……
Chapter 190 On the Good and Bad of Grey Wolf's Naming Talent
How much land would you need to house 20,000 people in a city with a population of one million without them being discovered?
If you're not too picky about your quality of life, and assuming eight people can fit into a 4x5 square meter dorm room, a five-story building would only require a little over 10,000 square meters. Of course, if you're looking for a slightly higher quality of life...
Looking at the seemingly endless residential area in front of them, if it weren't for the large area of wasteland surrounding it, Yifang and Shifeng would have thought that the living conditions here were much better than theirs.
"As expected of the chairman, he makes such a grand gesture right away." Misaki Shokuhou glanced at Byakuya beside her and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Just how powerful is this unregistered person? Leaving aside the fact that the chairman personally acted cute and showed his lack of decency before, such a large area, just by building one or two roads, could easily fool those rich people outside Academy City who don't know the situation inside, and send their children in with huge sums of money.
As it turned out, Byakuya had only mentioned it casually, and then directly gave it to the Misaka Sisters, whose original homes might not even have a small square box.
Bai Ye didn't think that much about it, or rather, in his current view, such a small territory really didn't amount to much affection, after all, he was now someone who had transcended the low-level interests of the "world".
It just goes to show that different perspectives lead to different viewpoints.
After preparing a room for Misaka No. 1 and Misaka No. 2, and after they moved in, Bai Ye thought for a moment and gave them a set of daily necessities. Then, she put a stack of cards in the closet of No. 1's room.
Name: Daily Life Gift Pack
Type: Miscellaneous Items
"Attribute: None"
Quality: Excellent
"Note: Pillows, sheets, duvet covers, mattresses, mats, pots and pans, TV, refrigerator, computer... That's right, I'm the kind of person who can bring along anything to create a home with a quality of life above average."
This was a replica made by Byakuya based on the specifications of Misaka No. 1 and Misaka No. 2 after he added some miscellaneous items to their rooms.
According to the plan Aleister had previously sent, Accelerator would arrange for several of his agents in Academy City to take action once he had cleared out around the 10,000th number of Misaka Sisters. After all, it would be awkward if there weren't enough Misaka Sisters to wipe out all the magicians in one fell swoop after the artificial heaven was deployed.
Now that Bai Ye has intervened, at least Aleister can guarantee that if 20,000 of them attack at once, all those lowly mages will have to obediently rush in, and none of them will be able to escape!
After seeing the accommodations arranged for the Misaka Sisters by the Chairman, Accelerator and Shokuhou rushed to the location where Misaka 3 would conduct their experiments.
Based on the conservative estimate of 10,000 in the plan, if the Absolute Ability User Project goes bankrupt next year, these two will need to save 27.4 sisters every day... It's terrifying to think about.
After calculating this number, seeing the two still full of energy, whether they were unaware of this or had already thought of it, and feeling that Academy City would give them a long-term relationship, Bai Ye shook his head...
Let them continue to be happy for a while longer. Maybe in a month or two, they'll have gotten used to this kind of life?
After sending a text message to one of her phones, telling her that she was going back to the Dimensional Shop for the time being and that she could contact Aleister or herself anytime if anything happened, Bai Ye went to the now-repaired, doorless and windowless building, met with Aleister, and then activated the Dimensional Shop's return function.
brush--
After a faint, almost negligible sense of disorientation, Bai Ye's people had returned to the Dimensional Shop.
"You're back?" Seeing him walk out of the portal, Black Jeanne, who was leaning against the sofa without any regard for her image, looked up at him, greeted him, and then continued to stare at the screen.
"Mm." Bai Ye nodded.
After they established their relationship, Black Jeanne became less vigilant about his whereabouts. Before, she would feel anxious and insecure even if it was just for a few hours at night, allowing Bai Ye to comfort her, express his loyalty, and take advantage of her. But now, even if she was a few days late for the agreed time, she would only send a perfunctory greeting and didn't even seem to be waiting for Bai Ye's reply...
Tsk, women!
"Has anything happened while I was away?"
"I think so?" After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Black Jeanne replied, "The first one is that Grey Wolf came to see you and said that he has finished building the Gundam you need. However, in order to improve some agility and also to ensure aesthetics, the forty-meter sword has been reduced to twenty-seven meters, and the size has also been reduced a lot. It is now standing outside the Wolf Castle. You can go and get it anytime when you come back."
"Hmm... I can only say that he truly lives up to his name, Grey Wolf."
On one side, they are still using muzzle-loading smoothbore cannons, or even swords, spears, and bows and arrows. On the other side, the Gundam that can jump into outer space took less than a week from finalizing the plan to building the actual product... To be honest, the technology tree of Green Grassland can no longer be explained by the mere word "abnormal".
"Besides this?"
"Another one, during the few days you were away, Saloras and the others hosted a rather interesting guest. After meeting him, I determined that his world had the potential of 870 for further development, so I gave him a card and told him that he could come back in a few days, and the two of you could have a chat then."
"In a few days... let's talk about it in a few days then." Nodding and noting this down, Bai Ye placed his hand on the portal, connected it to the coordinates of the world of Grey Wolf, and sure enough, he saw the Gundam outside the Wolf Castle, which was about the same height as the Wolf Castle and had a rather ferocious appearance.
"BOSS, you're here?" Upon seeing Bai Ye's appearance, Grey Wolf, who was sunbathing on the top floor of the Wolf Castle, quickly came down and ran to Bai Ye.
"Hmm... I heard the Gundam is finished, so I came to take a look."
"Hehe, this one was made based on my memories of being ambushed by lambs, falling into the river, being chased for hundreds of miles by piranhas, and being bitten all over. Its weapons perfectly cover both near and far potential attack points, and the cockpit is completely isolated from the outside. It has enough oxygen and food to keep the pilot inside for three days and three nights..."
When it came to his creation, Grey Wolf immediately began to talk at length about its advantages.
After Grey Wolf finished speaking, Bai Ye asked, "Have you given it a name?"
"Name... Boss, what do you think of 'Shark Chili'?"
Chapter 191 Congratulations Sanae on acquiring a Shark Chili Pepper!
As a handsome boss who understands his subordinates, I really want to complain about why a perfectly good Gundam is called Shark Chili, which is full of ridiculous names. But it's just a name, so it doesn't really matter what it's called. So, Shark Chili it is.
Name: First Generation Wolf Brand Robot (Shark Chili)
Type: Super-Giant Robot
Attribute: Metal
Quality: Excellent
"Note: This giant robot was created by Grey Wolf, the number one inventor of Green Green Grassland, according to someone's request. It is not only equipped with the requested forty-meter (actually only twenty-seven-meter) sword, but also with long-range missile laser cannons and supporting facilities that can fly in space... Yes, I can let you run twenty meters or twenty thousand meters first."
