"How are you feeling?" Wuyue nodded gently and asked. "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"No, no." The girl shook her head and said, "I can feel my life force gradually becoming stronger. It's just that, it's very awkward to maintain this state all the time."
Twist it!
That's right, the other party will naturally twist it. You see, the concept behind this scientific instrument was designed by Wuyue. And it's not just any ordinary design. It's based on options provided by the system.
It goes without saying what kind of system Wu Yue has inside her.
So what appeared before him and Jingce was a very strange sight. The girl's limbs and torso were bound by special experimental equipment, and steel needles containing strange nutrient solutions were inserted into her back. The girl was suspended in mid-air in a "T" shape.
It was a rather strange posture. Any hot-blooded young man seeing this would definitely have impure thoughts. Fortunately, only Mugetsu and Keisuke had access to this laboratory. Perhaps also Aragaki Chizuru, so it didn't cause the girl in front of them any trouble.
"Just bear with it a little longer, Dolly," Wuyue comforted her softly. "Soon, you'll be free. Not only that, I've also adjusted your genetic structure. You'll find that you'll be no different from any other girl."

Dolly. That's the name of the Misaka test subject standing before us. She is the first mature Misaka individual, and currently the only Misaka individual with an emotional system. Therefore, she has epoch-making significance for both the Talent Lab and the other Misaka Network Research Institutes.
"I believe you, brother." Without a fuss, Dolly chose to unconditionally trust the boy before her. Her feelings for him were no longer simply gratitude, but attachment—like a daughter's attachment to her father.

"Oh ho ho, what a touching scene." Just as the girl finished speaking, a flippant voice rang out. Long purple hair, wearing a white lab coat, exuding an aura of maturity and allure. It was Aragaki Chizuru.
However, besides her, there were two other girls following behind her. They were petite, one with short brown hair and the other with long blonde hair, both looking around with curiosity.
"Why are you here?" Wuyue turned her face away and asked. The guard beside her seemed to be very afraid of the woman in front of him, and silently shrank behind Wuyue.
“As the organizer of this research project, of course I had to come and see my adorable subjects.” Chizuru Aragaki chuckled softly, “I just didn’t expect to discover such a strange scene. Mugetsu, have you developed feelings for your research objects?”
Are you researching items?
Hearing this description, Dolly's eyes dimmed. Indeed, she was just an insignificant research subject, a reserve resource for the research institute. Even in death, she would be like a pitiful lab rat. No one would grieve for her.
Chapter 663: Turning Against Each Other
"Developed feelings?" Wuyue thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I see. Are you here to interrogate me?"
"That's pointless," Chizuru Aragaki said calmly. At least, she maintained a facade of calm. "Your personal feelings or life are none of my business. But this girl is not someone you can touch. Do you understand?" As she spoke, she glanced at Keisuke.
In Chizuru Aragaki's mind, this cute little girl in front of her would probably become Mugetsu's meal.
"Her research topic must be more than just cloning, right?" Wuyue asked, feigning curiosity.
"That's not something you need to know, Muzuki-kun." After a moment of silence, Aragaki Chizuru said calmly, "Although you are indeed very talented and may become a top researcher in the future, there are some things that are not for you to touch."
"It seems my thinking was correct." Wuyue nodded and said, "Given the current situation, what's happening to this girl is beyond your control. Has the Council taken notice of her existence?"
These words clearly touched a nerve with Chizuru Aragaki, causing her expression to change and her to shout, "Shirai Mugetsu! Mind your place! Don't make me think you've crossed my line!"
"Alright." Wuyue shrugged, seemingly giving in.
call.
Chizuru Aragaki breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed satisfied with Mugetsu's submissive attitude, and her tone softened slightly. "I can pretend I didn't hear what you said before. But now, I'm telling you clearly. You can completely let go of this clone matter."
what?
Wuyue didn't show any surprise, but Jingce, who was next to him, widened his eyes. "Why is this happening? No, this can't be!" Her voice rose slightly.
After all, in her eyes, Dolly wasn't just a research subject, but also her friend. She had reason to believe that if Wuyue was in charge of the research, she wouldn't pose any danger to Dolly. But if it were someone else, her friend would be in grave danger. Therefore, for her friend's safety, she even disregarded her own status and cried out.
"Why can't I do this? Are you questioning me?" Chizuru Aragaki sneered, glancing at Keisuke. Then she turned her gaze to Mugetsu. "It seems you're too lenient with your pet."
Jingce's eyes dimmed, and she hurriedly lowered her head. She knew very well the relationship between the boy beside her and the woman. Rather than a collaboration, it was more accurate to say that the woman was the boy's employer.
Normally, it's obvious who would choose between employer and servant. Having witnessed much of the darkness in Academy City, this girl had seen through many things. That's why she felt afraid and helpless.
If, if the boy abandons her... her fate will be extremely tragic.
“She’s not my pet.” Surprisingly, the young man didn’t reprimand her at all. Instead, he tried to explain, “She’s just a subordinate I’ve taken a liking to. Besides, her words didn’t offend you, did they?”
"Can I take this as you talking back to me for the sake of a subordinate?" Chizuru Aragaki said with dissatisfaction.
"Of course not." Wuyue maintained her gentle smile and said softly, "However, I completed the results of this experiment myself. But it would be a bit unfair for you to ask me to leave now, Professor Aragaki."
Unlike before, this time Wuyue used the word "teacher," which clearly carried an unusual meaning. However, Aragaki Chizuru on the other side did not notice this and said calmly, "I am well aware of everything you have said. You completed the genetic sequence of this girl. Similarly, you greatly enhanced her cellular activity. This is your achievement. However, you are just a child."
Just one sentence from the child wiped out all of Wuyue's achievements.
"I see, I think I understand what you mean." Wuyue nodded knowingly and said, "But I refuse."
"What did you say?" Chizuru Aragaki frowned, her eyes coldly fixed on the boy before her. "I'll give you one more chance, you..."
"I refuse." Before she could finish speaking, Wuyue interrupted, "I like it here very much and I don't plan to leave again."
"Is that so?" Chizuru Aragaki suddenly smiled, a happy and beautiful smile. "It seems that the time I've spent researching alone has awakened some formidable ambitions in you. Well, that's quite normal. Every researcher has some ambitions to some extent. I understand. But here, my decision is absolute."
"It seems you've already prepared a backup plan." Wuyue nodded, saying nonchalantly, "So eager to make your move against me?"
"You're intelligent, but equally foolish." Chizuru Aragaki said calmly, looking down at him. "This Academy City has always been a place of endless conflicts of interest. And you, you insisted on involving emotions. You're finished, Shirai Mugetsu. Perhaps at some point in the future, I'll feel a pang of regret for you. But your death was inevitable. Don't worry, I'll take care of your sister."
Chapter 664: The Scheme
Bang.
A muffled thud.
The instant Aragaki Chizuru finished speaking, Mugetsu suddenly appeared and threw a punch.
However, his punch, which would be considered extremely swift by ordinary people, was blocked by the girl with short brown hair. She took two steps back, her eyes full of vigilance. "Incredibly terrifying power, is this guy really just a person with X-ray vision?"
“That’s for sure.” Chizuru Aragaki smiled and said, “The reason you’ll find it troublesome is because Mugetsu-kun has a powerful physique equivalent to a level 3 ability. It’s also because he injected his own gene sequence that the test subject became no different from an ordinary person. Am I right?” She looked at Mugetsu.
At this moment, Wuyue seemed to have no interest in paying attention to her, her gaze calmly fixed on the short-haired girl opposite her. "Level 4 reflection ability? No, it should be some kind of invisible armor."

“You’re as excellent as ever, Muzuki-kun.” Chizuru Aragaki said with an air of confidence, “This child is also the result of my latest research. Her name is Nitrogen Armor, and it’s based on her design.”
The girl mentioned by the other person caused Mugetsu's expression to change slightly. Was this girl created by extracting some of the computational results from Accelerator's research? If she wasn't mistaken, she was Kinuhata Saiai.
Wu Yue thought to herself, but remained outwardly calm as she said, "So that's how it is. This is your trump card."
"Mutsuki-kun, you should know very well that I never do anything I'm not sure of." Aragaki Chizuru spoke arrogantly, looking down at Mutsuki. "From that time on, you already understood the consequences of going against me. Of course, if she were by your side, perhaps I would have some reservations. But now, you have ruined your own life."
"I'm confused," Wuyue asked curiously, "Even if you kill me here, how are you going to explain it to her?"
"An explanation?" Chizuru Aragaki thought for a moment and said, "That is indeed something to consider. However, by then it will be none of my business. Because of some kind of grudge, you were killed by the girl who assisted in the research at the talent workshop. And chopped into pieces. I think she must be very sad."
“That is indeed a good excuse.” Wuyue nodded seriously, then smiled and said, “Unfortunately, that girl doesn’t seem to be able to do it.”
"Don't try to tough it out, Mugetsu-kun," Aragaki Chizuru said calmly. "I've carefully analyzed all your abilities and come up with many countermeasures. The situation you're facing now is one you simply cannot handle. Nitrogen armor, it sounds like a very straightforward and simple ability. But that's precisely what you can't break through. Even if you understand the structure, characteristics, and features of this ability, you have absolutely no chance of winning against such an impenetrable force."
“That does seem to be true.” Wu Yue nodded to himself and said, “However, do you really think you’ve seen through me?” As he spoke, he lunged forward again.
"I won't let you succeed." Kinuhata loves to raise both arms and attack horizontally.
This time, however, her defensive attack posed no obstacle whatsoever. Wuyue gripped her wrist with one hand and grabbed her arm with the other. She lifted her arm and flipped it backward.
Bang.
A muffled thud.
Kinuhachi was slammed hard onto the floor. A bewildered expression crossed her face. What happened? What's going on?
Chizuru Aragaki seemed to have been caught off guard by this situation, her eyes widening in surprise.
“Physical ability is important. But in battle, skill and experience are paramount.” Wuyue raised her eyes and said calmly, “I can’t break through her defenses, but that’s not important to me. I wonder if you anticipated this situation, Aragaki-sensei?”
"Skills and experience?" Chizuru Aragaki paused, then said, "Is it martial arts? It seems I truly underestimated you, Muzuki-kun."
"Whether you underestimate me or not doesn't matter," Wuyue waved her hand and said, "I'm just curious. What are you going to do next?"
“Yes, I was confident I could defeat and kill you. But the current situation is beyond my calculations,” Chizuru Aragaki said to herself. “What should I do?”
ha?
Wu Yue stared at the woman, wondering if she had gone mad. However, just as this thought crossed her mind, the blonde girl, 660, suddenly murmured softly, "I'm sorry."
what?
Wuyue instinctively sensed something was wrong. But just then, a long knife suddenly pierced his back, and blood spurted out. He turned his head blankly and saw Jingce looking at his blank face.
"Hahaha, you were really careless, Muzuki-kun." Aragaki Chizuru laughed, a hearty laugh. "Looks like I fooled you, Muzuki-kun. I made you really think that girl was my trump card. Actually, the real backup plan is her." Pointing to the blonde girl, she said, "She's the child I discovered among those orphans a few days ago. Her ability is... mind control! You'll definitely like this surprise, Muzuki-kun."
There was no answer. Wuyue seemed to be losing her life force rapidly, and her eyes became heavy.
"No! Why is this happening!" With his mind freed from his guard, he stared blankly at everything before him, at the blade in his hand, his heart sinking into an inky darkness. "Lord Muzuki... Lord Muzuki!"
Chapter 665: The Terrifying Boy
"No, no!" Jingze stared wide-eyed, her face filled with shock, fear, and disbelief. She never imagined that she would destroy her own hope with her own hands!
That's right, it was hope! In Keisei's heart, Mugetsu was the only hope for her and Dori to survive! But now, she had personally destroyed that hope!
Even if she had indeed been controlled by that blonde girl through mind control, her own consciousness hadn't been erased! It was as if she were watching from another perspective, plunging the longsword the girl had given her into his heart. This feeling was truly devastating! The feeling of personally extinguishing her own hope was like falling into an endless abyss.
"Why, why did this happen..." Keisei stared intently at the blonde girl. "Why, why did you do this?"
"I'm sorry," the blonde girl said softly, her face showing no satisfaction at having killed her enemy. "If I could, I wouldn't want to do this either."
“Very good, Misaki.” Seemingly ignoring the girl’s apology, Chizuru Aragaki’s face showed a pleased expression. “You have completed your task, and I am very pleased. From now on, you will take his place and become my official assistant.”
"Spare my companions," the blonde girl, Misaki Shokuhou, pleaded softly. "I'll do anything you ask if you'll spare them..."
"Don't try to negotiate with me." Chizuru Aragaki raised a finger and touched Misaki Shokuhou's lips. "As a qualified assistant, all you need to do is diligently complete the tasks I assign. Otherwise, you'll end up like him, becoming..." At this point, Chizuru Aragaki suddenly froze. Of course, this wasn't a sudden pang of conscience, but rather she noticed something amiss. Before her, the boy's corpse was undergoing an unexpected transformation. Its skin seemed to shrink, rapidly atrophying and changing color, ultimately forming a strange object resembling a wooden stake.
What's going on? What happened?
Chizuru Aragaki was stunned, Misaki Shokuhou was stunned, and Kinuhata Saiai and Kensuke Kanzaki also gaped, as if they were witnessing the most impossible scene of their lives. How could a human become like this? Or is this guy not human at all?
"It seems I've caused you some trouble." Just then, a familiar voice rang out. "I'm so sorry."
"You, how could you..."
"You're not dead?"
"what happened?"
Everyone stared at the suddenly appearing boy, their faces showing a mixture of shock, confusion, and bewilderment.
"How could this be? How could this be?" Chizuru Aragaki felt an unbelievable shock to her worldview. Her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "This is also your ability? Impossible! Multi-talented abilities are still just a hypothetical subject. How can you use them?"
"Multi-talented ability?" Wuyue scoffed, "You really think I use multi-talented ability? It seems my previous impression of you is about to change, Aragaki-sensei. Your knowledge is not as extensive as I previously thought."
"Kill him! Kill him!" Instinctively, Chizuru Aragaki felt an extreme threat. Looking into the boy's eyes, she felt an emotion she had never experienced before—fear! Yes, she was afraid! "Just kill him! Whatever your demands, I will grant them!"
