Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"By the way, you seem to be hanging out alone a lot lately... Is the brewing chaos so interesting to you?"

"This is just pure prejudice. I'm just having fun. It's human nature to see how the era I created will change."

At the entrance of the stairwell of Lanmeng Company, a man and a woman were talking affectionately.

The girl with honey-colored hair was adjusting her dress in front of the mirror hanging on the wall next to her.

She frowned and smoothed out the wrinkles on her shirt with her fingers.

Although someone said that she knew the importance of the matter, she still lifted up her shirt halfway and rolled it up roughly, which led to her being so busy now.

Thinking of this, Shokuhou Misaki said even more unhappily.

"This kind of statement is something that criminals would only say when they return to the scene, right?"

“Even if it’s the same thing, the evaluation will be very different when the scale is different. What I’m doing is the trend of the times.”

Roland combed the girl's smooth hair with a smile, like an intimate newlywed couple.

"You don't even deny that what you did was a sin..."

“Because it is sin.”

Roland admitted this straightforwardly.

"The spread of magnetic field power may be a progress for today, or even a milestone that separates history, but if we look at it from the perspective of the general public of all times, it can only be said to be the beginning of despair."

“I see… hmmm!”

Shokuhou Misaki widened her eyes in shock. She had originally wanted to continue the conversation with this topic.

But when Roland's hand slid down naturally again, her body still trembled.

"Even if I wasn't satisfied just now, it's too mean to do this now. There's not even a stairwell here!"

"So you are too prejudiced against me."

Roland leaned forward slightly, almost sticking to Shokuhou Misaki again.

His eyes were clear and serious, and he looked directly at the girl's embarrassed and angry gaze with confidence.

"I'm just helping you tidy up your appearance. Even with a mirror, there are bound to be things you didn't notice."

"Even though you say it so righteously, this action is too much!"

Feeling the burning breath so close to her, Shokuhou Misaki's pretty face also blushed.

The girl complained as she covered Roland's hand on her leg with her skirt, then shyly buried her head in Roland's arms.

She could clearly feel the touch of the slender thighs wrapped in black stockings.

So, after feeling that trend continue to go up.

Shokuhou Misaki subconsciously crossed her legs together and let out a moan.

However, Roland's fingertips only touched and released, lifting the lace in her black pantyhose.

"Alright, you still have work to do later. If you don't tie it tighter, it will be terrible if it leaks out."

Who do you think caused this?

Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but complain in her heart, but she still nodded obediently, her eyes seemed to be dripping with tears.

"So, what are you going to do next? Miss Kanzaki has already accompanied Index to the amusement park, and there is no one available at Blue Dream Company. Are you going to look for Misaka-san?"

"Even I have to do some serious work sometimes."

Roland narrowed his eyes and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"After all, we are not the only ones who realize the importance of Misaka Network."

"Is there such a fool who doesn't know how to live or die?"

Shokuhou Misaki was a little surprised. Even as the spokesperson for Blue Dream Company, she did not let her emotions be immediately controlled by impulse when she saw the Absolute Essence User Plan.

Because although the influence of Blue Dream Company has penetrated into every aspect of Academy City, it is at best a partner, and the General Council that has been rooted for many years still has great power.

To get involved in the clash between these two behemoths is simply like trying to grab chestnuts from the fire. No, it should be said that it is tantamount to seeking death.

----

Butsuko Toshin sighed softly.

She was wearing a neat student uniform with a white coat on top.

His shoulder-length dark purple hair was somewhat messy and his pupils were half-open. He looked lazy and lifeless, with a creepy aura that made people want to stay away from him.

Although she is only a senior high school student, based on her work experience, she can already be considered a senior researcher.

She made her mark in the field of biological psychiatry at an early age and is a true genius.

Many of the projects and research she has handled have been recognized by senior management and are beginning to be deployed on a large scale.

What Futsuko Toshin is most proud of is a device called a learning device.

It is a device that installs pre-set language, logic, and memory through electrical signals, allowing skills to be acquired in a short period of time.

Just like the one-click installation that is popular nowadays, with just a simple button, you can greatly save the time and efficiency of growth and create elites with corresponding abilities.

Strictly speaking, the importance of this achievement is almost as great as the day when Academy City, which emerged as a dark horse and took up the banner of science alone, was founded.

The existence of this tool means that this attribute of human beings has been alienated and turned into a tool.

The existence of the family is no longer a social necessity. Newborns will become public assets and only need to be taught skills step by step and become needed screws.

If it weren't for the defects of the equipment itself that would damage the brain, and the fact that the potential of AIM's position was far greater than the development of this utopian society, perhaps the current Academy City would have become something else long ago.

But even so, the potential of the learning device is still self-evident. In addition to exploring whether the AIM stance can also be used as an upper limit for skill learning, it also has a surprising lower limit.

——As a brainwashing device.

In this city where ethics and morals are almost non-existent, cloning technology has made great progress.

The cost has become so low that if you don't care about the defect of short life, you can create a specific clone for only about 180,000 yen.

But clones are also human beings, and it costs money to learn skills and shape their personalities.

The learning device solves this problem perfectly. From combat skills to personality, everything can be quickly achieved through brainwashing.

As long as Academy City is willing, it can create a clone army that is not afraid of death at any time. Even if it does not do so, these well-cultivated clones can meet the material needs of many experiments.

Thanks to this, this equipment has been widely deployed in the cloning research institute of Academy City, and even many derivative products have been born.

When he thought of this, Butsuko Toshin's expression became even colder, and he showed a sarcastic smile.

She was laughing at her own stupidity.

"Why didn't I notice it earlier... Those children obviously have feelings too. They are different from experimental animals and shouldn't be tools that are discarded at will..."

Because of his glorious resume and experience in participating in the mass production of ability users plan, when the Absolute Ability User Plan was launched, Fusuka Toshinori was naturally invited to join.

At first, she was not bound by ethics in a broad sense.

However, after meeting the Misaka sisters in person and discovering that they are not machines that only follow orders, but are also beings capable of emotions, the girl, who is withdrawn but has not lost her humanity, immediately realized what a mistake she has made.

Unfortunately, in the face of the power of the upper echelons and the established cloning technology, her attitude is completely irrelevant and cannot affect the progress of the experiment.

Therefore, she could only try her best to create opportunities for herself to atone for her sins.

After putting away the last cash card in his hand, Futsuko Toshin stood in front of an abandoned desk and collected the documents on it. In the earthquake that swept across the entire Academy City, many facilities were destroyed.

However, these unfinished buildings are located at the junction of school districts, which is very remote and not at the epicenter of the earthquake. In addition, they are already dilapidated, so they are the ones that suffered the least damage. This is a kind of black humor.

Therefore, most of the experimental sites for the Absolute Ability Program were chosen nearby.

And Fusuzu Toshin also used the real money-throwing action of distributing anonymous cash cards to attract other people's attention to disrupt the progress of the experiment, buy time for himself, and race against time to develop an opportunity to terminate the experiment.

"If we inject the emotion program and spread it through the Misaka network, maybe the sisters will be able to develop emotions and have the possibility of resistance."

"But even so, it's impossible for her to defeat the first one, right? I heard that the third one has acquired new superpowers due to the influence of the environment. If we can get her data..."

Butsuko Toshin narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the briefcase in his hand, and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as she turned her head, her pupils shrank slightly.

A tall middle-aged man had been standing at the door.

His burly figure, the magnetic sniper rifle on his shoulder that looked half a man's height and more like a heavy artillery than a gun, and the pitch-black military uniform, all clearly showed the difference between him and the group of disabled people who usually roamed here.

"Anbu? Has his plan been exposed?"

Butsuko Toshinori quickly threw the briefcase in his hand at the other party and rushed forward.

Amidst the flying papers, she took advantage of her smaller stature and rushed straight towards the other party.

Such a performance made the middle-aged man frown. He just raised his hand slightly, grabbed Butsuko Toshin's wrist, and firmly controlled her movements.

"The goal of this mission is to capture them alive, so I don't want to cause any trouble."

The middle-aged man said in a cold voice, "Although you seem to have practiced martial arts, you can't beat me even with this little trick, so give up the idea of ​​resistance as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to break your arm."

"As you said, it is true. But, I am the winner, right?"

However, even though he was unable to move, Butsuko Toshin's face remained extremely calm.

"For the sake of your own life, it would be better for you to reveal your background and information now."

She whispered in her arrogant way mixed with English words, and bent her palm to gently pat the back of the other person's hand.

"Ok?"

The middle-aged man frowned and was about to say something when he suddenly felt dizzy.

Watching this scene, Butsuko Toshin's eyes widened slightly.

"My ability is to interrupt lifespan. I can take the life of others with just a touch. The dizziness you feel is a sign that my ability has been activated."

"Because I don't want to kill anyone, I'm just trying to persuade you to stop. If you don't cherish this opportunity..."

Although she looks like a weak woman, the fact that she dared to try to stop the Absolute Ability User Project alone shows that in addition to being kind, Butsuko Toshinori also has a strong side.

While she was pretending to sigh helplessly, she used persuasive words to try to make the middle-aged man collapse under the psychological pressure.

After all, being a member of an Anbu organization and not being afraid of death are two different things.

"Idle boasting."

But the middle-aged man sneered, raised his head nonchalantly, and threw the Bushu Dixin directly to the ground with his backhand.

He shook his hands casually, his eyes bright, as if the dizziness before was just an illusion.

Butsuko Toshin, who was thrown on the ground like a sack, suddenly became dirty, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he was a little unbelievable.

"How can it be……"

Of course, she doesn't have the ability to interrupt her life span. This method is just to create a sense of crisis.

After all, she is indeed a student of the Long Point Machine Academy, and the uniform of this elite school will naturally add credibility to her words.

At this time, she used her special anesthetic and fine needle to quietly pierce into the enemy's skin.

Soon the enemy will be unable to take care of himself due to the abnormality of his body, and finally faint from the complete effect of the anesthetic. This method has been used many times by Butsuko Toshinori and has always worked well.

Even someone with special abilities will be knocked unconscious if they are caught off guard.

But why did the man in front of me show signs of an attack and then recover immediately?
"Nothing is impossible. My understanding of people with special abilities is indeed limited, and I also doubted the dizziness just now."

The middle-aged man shook his hands and sneered.

"But since the feeling completely disappeared after activating the electric current push, it means this is just a trick of yours."

"Powered by electric current...are there any left out there?"

Butsuko Toshin was stunned.

"Of course, not everyone knows about the dark side of this city, especially me who works on the dark side."

Looking at Butsuko Toshinori's dazed face, the middle-aged man sneered.

"Rather than starting a riot and becoming research material, wouldn't it be better to use this power to climb up? If I wasn't still a little unfamiliar with this power, you wouldn't even have the chance to use such a clever trick."

"This is my first mission after joining SCHOOL. In order to prove my worth, you better surrender."

He walked towards Butsuko Toshin with a ferocious look on his face and grinned.

"However, interrupting lifespan, I'm amazed you could have thought of that. How could such a flashy ability possibly exist in this world? What kind of fools would believe in it..."

"Are those who believe it exists foolish? If so, why don't you experience this fancy ability for yourself?"

A gentle and calm voice suddenly sounded behind the middle-aged man.

His body stiffened, he turned around suddenly, an electric current surged through his body, he gripped the electromagnetic sniper cannon on his shoulder, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Being approached so close without any knowledge, at this moment, counterattack is the first priority rather than thinking about the enemy's origins.

however--

The gun body that could withstand bomb attacks at close range just lit up and then turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The electric current, which was enough to shatter the wall, broke off as soon as it spread out, as fragile as a spider web.

In the middle-aged man's pupils, the only thing left was the white and slender hand clenched into a claw shape.

It smoothly passed through all obstacles and grabbed its neck.

Then, the owner of the hand also announced the end of everything in a calm voice.

"The way of Tianwu's killing and the way of destroying life."

Roland casually threw the middle-aged man in his hand and smashed him against the opposite wall.

He struggled to get up and was about to say something when he suddenly fell down weakly, like a fish on a chopping board.

Then, after his hands and feet twitched weakly for a few times, the middle-aged man collapsed completely to the ground. His face was pale, and his skin seemed to have shrunk and squeezed together. He was completely silent.

"Eh?"

Butsuko Toshin was stunned.

There were no obvious external injuries on the middle-aged man's body, and he could even move, but suddenly all movements stopped as if the power had been cut off.

"What's happening here?"

"It's obvious," Roland said with a slightly teasing expression and a light laugh.

"——He died of old age." (End of this chapter)
