"...I have my own reasons..."

"Are you willing to talk?"

Luo Hao propped his chin on his hand, casually watching Shokuhou Misaki analyze her somewhat conflicted state.

"..."

"If you don't want to, then forget it!"

Luo Hao knew the reason, but even if he didn't, he wouldn't care.

"Eh?"

Misaki Shokuhou was a little curious that Luo Hao didn't ask any further questions; she had originally thought he would be very curious.

“I never care about other people’s secrets. That’s not something I consider. I won’t let that secret affect my attitude towards them in the slightest. I’m helping you because of our story, not your secret. So if you don’t want to talk about it, then forget it. I don’t care.”

"Our story?"

Misaki Shokuhou blinked and couldn't help but reveal a beautiful smile.

"Hao Jun is really amazing!"

"Ok?"

"nothing."

Misaki Shokuhou shook her head and said with a smile, "I asked Hao-kun to come and help, but I can't let Hao-kun remain confused forever, so I'll tell him! But don't tell anyone!"

"That's from my past, when I was still locked in a cage, gazing at the stars at night."

Chapter 151 Relics

"Oh, I see! I understand."

Luo Hao crossed his legs and looked to the side, appearing somewhat nonchalant.

"This is my deepest secret, please give me some feedback!"

Misaki Shokuhou looked at Luo Hao, who seemed indifferent and absent-minded the whole time, and raised her eyebrows slightly. She suddenly felt that she didn't really need to talk to Luo Hao, since this guy really didn't seem to care at all.

"I've heard everything, but I'm sorry, I may not be able to give you the response you want right now."

Luo Hao shook his head. He really didn't feel anything. He used to be very moved when he saw these things from a distance, but now he was completely calm and had no reaction at all.

He has changed, so he is no longer able to give the response that Misaki Shokuhou wants.

How exactly did things change? When did they change like this? Luo Hao didn't know either.

Did he loosen his moral constraints after sleeping with Merry? Was it during the initial years in Disburg? Or perhaps when he was one with the "Catalogue of Life"?

I just can't figure it out.

In any case, Luo Hao has always been one to mind his own business, only showing clear feelings towards those directly related to him, such as the heartache he felt for Artoria bearing a mission.

After that, Luo Hao felt nothing anymore, even though there was a layer of separation between them.

For example, Dolly is Misaki Shokuhou's childhood friend, and also the person who led her down the path she is on today.

Although he knew this person, he had never met him and there had been no history between them, so Luo Hao really didn't feel anything.

However, none of this mattered, and Luo Hao himself didn't care.

"I'm sorry I can't fully empathize with you, but I can feel your sadness and perseverance, so... I have some of my own insights on this matter. Would you like to hear them?"

Upon hearing Luo Hao's words, Misaki Shokuhou nodded slightly, seemingly confused. She wasn't quite sure what Luo Hao was trying to say, but she felt that he was capable of offering many important insights.

"Well, the first question is, what do you consider those androids to be? Replacements for Dolly? Dolly's children? Or Dolly's relics?"

It's impossible for them to be family, because these Misaka Sisters aren't even human yet. Before they reached the ten thousandth level, before they developed emotions and a will to survive, these Misaka Sisters were just mass-produced tools costing 180,000 Japanese yen each.

These tools are simply similar to human biological structures.

Luo Hao didn't believe that Shokuhou Misaki truly considered these Misaka Sisters as human beings, and Shokuhou Misaki probably couldn't even convince herself of that.

She had never met the Misaka Sisters, nor had she ever imagined that they were now all emotionless androids.

How could she possibly treat the other person as a human being, as her own family?

So, the one who gives these Misaka Sisters value in Shokuhou Misaka's eyes is naturally Dolly.

Love the house and the bird.

Because Misaka Misaki had feelings for Dolly, she transferred those feelings to the Misaka Sisters.

So, what are these Misaka Sisters to Shokuhou Misaka?

“A substitute… a relic…”

The option of having children was completely skipped, because children are also human beings, they inherit blood, and they are born only because of the hopes and longings they hold in them.

How can something produced in a factory be considered a child?

The nursery rhyme that says "a child without a mother is like grass" is a stark reality.

A child who is not entrusted with the hopes and longing of his parents, or at least his mother, is like a roadside weed; in a sense, he cannot even be considered a human being.

Obviously, these Misaka Sisters are not Dolly's children.

When Dolly died, none of them had been created. In a sense, Dolly, the others, and even the original Misaka Mikoto were three completely independent beings, with no relation whatsoever except for "blood ties".

That's why Misaki Shokuhou was torn between "substitutes and relics".

She somewhat wanted to use these Misaka Sisters as a replacement for Dolly, but she also thought it was impossible.

"It must be a keepsake!"

After much deliberation, only this one option remained.

These Misaka Sisters cannot be replaced. She only wanted to protect them because of her love for them. This feeling is similar to that of a close friend who has passed away, wanting to preserve their belongings and prevent them from being destroyed.

"That'll be easy."

"Ok?"

"I mean after they were rescued..."

Seeing that Misaki Shokuhou's face still looked somewhat blank, Luo Hao said, "There are a full 20,000 of them! 20,000, that's an astonishing number. You can't possibly let them all live here."

Misaki Shokuhou understood Luo Hao's meaning and instinctively nodded.

Indeed, Academy City only has a population of 1.3 million. If 20,000 identical Misaka Sisters lived here, they would be too conspicuous.

"Therefore, we must send them away, disperse them, and scatter them all over the world. Twenty thousand people are like drops of water in a lake among seven billion people; they will not be noticed at all."

Actually, from the perspective of solving this problem, there are other ways besides this one. Putting these Misaka Sisters to sleep or locking them up would also work.

After all, these are just relics! Just preserve them well.

You might find it hard to accept at first, but you'll get used to it over time.

This is also what Luo Hao considers the simplest solution.

But considering the overall situation, sending them away is the only option.

The reason is simple: Aleister won't allow it.

That guy's goal is to send these Misaka sisters to every corner of the world, and then use the electromagnetic links between them to create a huge phase called "Artificial Celestial Realm" to destroy the phase that obscures all magic, thereby severing the world's magic.

Therefore, it's impossible to allow them to put these Misaka Sisters to sleep.

Luo Hao and the others naturally only had one path left to take, which was to follow that guy's plan.

"Teach these Misaka Sisters some basic common sense, and then send them away!"

"..."

Misaka Mikoto was very satisfied with the plan, but he looked troubled. The reason was simple: he didn't have the money!

This is an unimaginable expense, one that she cannot afford in her current situation.

Luo Hao noticed her concerns, smiled mysteriously, and said softly, "Don't worry! There's a lot going on behind this, but someone will come to your aid."

“?”.

Chapter 152 Aresta and Aiwass

"..."

Aleister stared intently at the image of Luo Hao, and heard Luo Hao's words. He frowned slightly, looking somewhat hesitant.

"It seems your plan has been seen through!"

The radiant figure spoke slowly.

"..."

Aleister knew that sending the Misaka Sisters around the world would lead to someone helping Misaki Shokuhou solve her problems.

The former could be considered a coincidence, while the latter was inevitable.

"Who is he?"

This is the biggest question in Aleister's mind right now.

At the same time, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.
