Open the door, there is another world

Misaka Mikoto stopped and walked back, looking embarrassed: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Li Qing smiled and shook his head.

Then he said to Misaka Mikoto: "I'm going back, what about you?"

"Me too." Misaka Mikoto nodded quickly.

Then the two separated, Misaka Mikoto went towards Tokiwadai, and Li Qing also found a random direction to separate from Misaka Mikoto, and then found a random door, opened the door and walked in, and then disappeared from this world and returned to his own world, without attracting anyone's attention. The hovering loop did not notice him either, because Li Qing had been on guard against this. After all, the hovering loop did not have its own intelligence, so it was very easy to deceive it.

Return to your home.

There was no one at home, because as mentioned before, Lala and the others went to live with Rias and the others.

So Li Qing was alone in the room, but he had already eaten, so he didn't need to cook. He sat on the sofa and turned on TV to watch for a while. He went back to the bedroom to sleep when it was almost time. He got up the next morning, yawned, made breakfast, washed up and ate breakfast, and then Li Qing came to Academy City again.

The time is morning now.

Li Qing came to the street, looking at the sun in the sky, the airships flying by, and the wind turbines on the roadside that were spinning like windmills. He suddenly remembered Academy City's research on superpowers. Various research institutes studied the secrets of superpowers, and made these studies come true in students' bodies, so that students' abilities would continue to advance in their research, and eventually become superpower users, and then the strongest absolute power users.

"To put it bluntly, students are just the guinea pigs of these research institutes." Li Qing muttered to himself.

The darkness hidden in Academy City is unfathomable. Human experiments that were banned in the world have become open here, so the darkness hidden deeper can be imagined. Although the people of the Kihara clan are smart, they have lost their humanity. The one who gave these guys who have lost their humanity a stage is the chairman of Academy City, Aleister. If the Kihara clan represents darkness, then Aleister is the umbrella that protects this darkness.

"But super powers are indeed magical." Li Qing nodded.

The influence of personal reality on microscopic reality, chaos theory, all kinds of things play a role in it, as well as drugs, various experiments, hypnosis and other things. These things come together to make superpowers a reality. To be honest, Li Qing doesn’t understand much, but he is very curious about it, so now he is thinking about whether he can explore it, and the best place to explore is those research institutes.

Li Qing nodded, and then left to find the research institute.

Research institutes are all very tightly guarded places. One has to go through countless checkpoints to get in. However, these could not stop Li Qing. He found a research institute nearby and walked straight in. The guards at the door did not notice him at all, and the same was true for the patrolmen. Li Qing followed a man in a white coat and walked into the depths of the research institute. Finally, he saw a room full of instruments and more people in white coats walking around in it.

They were busy walking around with various notes and documents in their hands.

Li Qing mingled in the crowd, and no one around him noticed his presence, but he was around everyone here, looking here and there, and picking up the experimental materials next to him to read them. Finally, he followed some people to another laboratory, where there was a huge window, just like the window used by police to interrogate prisoners in movies and TV dramas, and it was also a one-way mirror, so you could only see inside from the outside but not outside from the inside.

Li Qing stood beside the mirror and looked inside, and saw an experimenter doing an experiment on a student.

The student was lying on the bed. The experimenter was injecting the student with an injection. The student was wearing a helmet on his head, just like the helmets worn on the head in the virtual game world. The student's data appeared in the laboratory. The surrounding research institutes were constantly recording data and discussing something. Li Qing was listening at the side and nodding from time to time, and then saw someone going to the next laboratory.

Looking towards the window, I saw that the student inside was also led out.

Li Qing was a little curious and followed.

Coming to another laboratory, there was also a single-lens mirror, but it was not a laboratory but an empty space. The student was inside, and a researcher was standing next to him, recording something in a notebook. Li Qing stood in front of the mirror and looked inside. He saw the student staring straight ahead, then he spread his hands and a fireball appeared in his palm. He threw the fireball at the target opposite, and the target was blown to pieces with a bang.

Then fireballs continued to appear, smashing forward with a bang.

The targets were blown to pieces one by one, and finally the student stopped, gasping for breath.

The researcher took a few notes.

The same was true for the research institute in this room. Li Qing heard someone shaking his head and sighing, "There is still no progress. Whether it is attack power, attack frequency or duration, there is no improvement. We have conducted so many experiments, why is there still no progress?"

"It seems that we are heading in the wrong direction. We need to think of other methods." The other researchers nodded.

After that, they started to discuss other possible plans. These guys are all very smart and creative, so they quickly came up with various plans. However, whether they would be successful still required experiments, and their experimental subjects were the students. So it was normal to say that the students of Academy City were their guinea pigs, because that was the fact. Whatever ideas they had would be implemented on the students, and the students were indeed their experimental subjects.

However, no matter what they thought, they could not improve the student's superpower level because his superpower level had reached the maximum.

In Academy City, there is a thing called quality judgment, which is calculated by a tree diagram satellite that has been launched into the sky. In the satellite's hydrochloric acid, the level that all students in Academy City can reach is already determined, and the results of who can reach what level have been obtained when their superpowers are first developed. The calculation ability of that satellite is very powerful, all possibilities will be taken into consideration, and the final result will never be wrong.

Therefore, no matter how hard those who have reached the top try, they will not be able to succeed, because all the possibilities they try are within the calculations of that satellite, and there is no way to escape at all.

Talent has already been determined and cannot be changed in the future.

Of course, there are people who can change this situation, but they are very few. It would be considered good if there is one such person among the millions of students in Academy City.

Obviously this student is not one of them, because he is just a passerby.

However, Li Qing did not think much about it, and quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the experimental data, recording them in his mind, and exploring the distance that could give people superpowers. He wandered around this research institute for a long time, and knew a lot of information by heart. Then he left here and went to another research institute, where he saw more information. He went from one research institute to another and saw many things related to superpowers.

The birth of superpowers suddenly took shape in his mind, so that he was no longer clueless.

Li Qing conducted research in various laboratories for a whole day. He also had lunch in the laboratory. There was a cafeteria in each laboratory, so Li Qing had a meal there. In the afternoon, he continued to study with the researchers and memorized things related to super powers. His mind was full of knowledge, and Li Qing felt that he had understood enough, so he left the institute and went outside.

Now I am sitting on a chair by the river, organizing the knowledge in my mind.

He closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair. All kinds of knowledge were boiling in his mind. He sorted them out by category, but there were some things he didn't understand very well. He just memorized them in his mind before. Although he had sorted them out now, he didn't understand them. But he was not in a hurry. Anyway, he had memorized them in his mind, and he would understand them slowly later. Besides, he still had Lala, so he would understand them sooner or later.

Li Qing was sorting out the information when he suddenly heard a voice: "What are you doing here? Are you asleep?"

Li Qing opened his eyes and saw Misaka Mikoto in front of him. He smiled and said, "It's Misaka Mikoto! I'm resting here!"

"Pao-san? Are you Misaka-san's younger brother?" Suddenly another girl's voice came, full of surprise and curiosity: "If you are a younger brother, shouldn't you call Mikoto-san? Why call her Pao-san? Is this your nickname for Misaka-san?"

Li Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with long straight black hair and a petal hairpin.

Li Qing glanced at Misaka Mikoto. Just as Misaka Mikoto was about to accept it, another girl's voice came: "Eh? Misaka-san has a younger brother?"

Li Qing looked in the direction of the voice and found a girl with a wreath on her head.

"Sister, you don't have a younger brother! I know this very well! Who are you?" Another girl's voice came.

Li Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shirai Kuroko. He smiled and said, "Don't you recognize me?"

Shirai Kuroko was stunned for a moment. In her opinion, all men were apes, and Li Qing was of course one of them. So although she had seen Li Qing before, she didn't have much interaction with Li Qing at that time, so she quickly forgot about Li Qing. Now, after Li Qing's reminder, she looked at Li Qing carefully and finally recognized Li Qing.

"It's you!?" she exclaimed.

He looked at Li Qing and then at his elder sister: "Sister! Have you met him yet?"

Didn't they say they wouldn't meet again? Why did they seem more familiar with each other today? Shirai Kuroko understood that her elder sister had met Li Qing again after the previous meeting, and that she must have experienced other things along the way. Otherwise, her elder sister wouldn't have greeted Li Qing after meeting him here, so there must be something she didn't know about.

Misaka Mikoto blinked her eyes and said, "I met him last night."

"Date?!" Shirai Kuroko exclaimed.

Misaka Mikoto blushed: "No! It was just a normal encounter!"

Shirai Kuroko breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a date.

Li Qing shook his head with amusement. After seeing these four people, he finally understood who the remaining two people were. The one with long black straight hair was Saten Ruiko, and the one wearing a wreath on her head was Hatsuharu Shikiri. These were the famous supercar quartet. The spin-off of the film A Certain Magical Index, A Certain Scientific Railgun, was a drama with these four as the protagonists. So in a sense, four heroines appeared in front of him.

As expected, Misaka Mikoto helped introduce them, and one of them was Saten Ruiko and the other was Hatsuharu Shikiri.

"Hello, I'm Li Qing." Li Qing said with a smile.

Saten Ruiko asked curiously, "Are you really not Misaka-san's younger brother?"

"No." Li Qing shook his head.

Saten Ruiko was curious: "Then why do you call Misaka-san 'Pao-jie'?"

Hatsuharu Shiori was also a little curious, so she looked over with curiosity. Misaka Mikoto sighed helplessly when she heard this question, knowing that Li Qing was going to bring up the reason after their first meeting again. Sure enough, Li Qing smiled and said, "Because she is a certain railgun, so we call her Misaka Misaka. And when she discharges electricity, it's bilibili, so we can call her bilibili. Which name do you think is good?"

Saten Ruiko didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's it?"

"That's it!" Li Qing nodded.

Saten Ruiko didn't know what to say, while Hatsuharu Shikiri started to think: "Calling me Misaka Mikoto doesn't sound cute, but calling me bilibili sounds cute, so I think calling me bilibili is better."

"Neither is good! I'm Misaka Mikoto! Not some Misaka Mikoto! Not some bilibili!" Misaka Mikoto said angrily.

Hatsuharu Shikiri chuckled and quickly shut up.

Li Qing also laughed. Misaka Mikoto glared at them unhappily, then said to Li Qing: "We are going to have dinner. Do you want to go? You paid for my meal yesterday. I can pay it back for you today!"

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

"Did you pay for your elder sister's meal yesterday?" Shirai Kuroko's surprised voice came.

She couldn't help but look around at Li Qing and Misaka Mikoto, and then she couldn't help but say, "Onee-sama, did you really not have a date yesterday? Why did he pay for your meal? What happened yesterday?"

The expression on her face was full of reluctance, and the way she looked at Li Qing seemed as if she wanted to swallow Li Qing up.

"Yesterday was an accident, and we didn't have a date, Kuroko, don't talk nonsense!" Misaka Mikoto angrily gave Shirai Kuroko a slap on the head.

Shirai Kuroko carefully observed her elder sister's expression and found that she didn't look shy, but only annoyed. This meant that there was indeed no spark of love between her elder sister and Li Qing yesterday. It was just that some unexpected things happened, most likely things that made her elder sister feel embarrassed, so now her elder sister had such an expression. Shirai Kuroko breathed a sigh of relief and finally stopped talking nonsense.

But she also knows that many relationships come from misunderstandings, so she still has to be on guard against Li Qing, because her feelings may change in the future.

Of course, the same goes for other men. Any man who gets close to my elder sister is a target of her defense.

Then the group left and went to a restaurant, sat down and started ordering food. Li Qing sat alone in a table, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko sat together, Saten Ruiko and Hatsuharu Osamu sat together, and the four girls were studying the menu, saying one seemed delicious, then another that seemed delicious, then they wanted to eat this, then they wanted to eat that, anyway, they couldn't make up their minds, and the chattering sound continued to be heard.

Li Qing didn't care. He just watched with a smile and only brought the menu after they finished ordering.

After asking about the signature dishes here, he took a look and ordered one, then returned the menu to the waiter who was waiting here. The waiter quickly took the menu to the kitchen to prepare it, and then Li Qing smiled and said to Misaka Mikoto: "Sister Misaka, thank you for your expense."

"Don't call me Misaka Mikoto." Misaka Mikoto said helplessly.

Li Qing nodded: "Got it, Cannon Sister."

There were crackling flashes of electricity on Misaka Mikoto's forehead, but they eventually dissipated because she knew that Li Qing was a person with no special abilities, and she might kill him with a flash of electricity. Although she had thought about electrocuting Li Qing to death just because he called her "Miss Misaka", she would never do it. Everyone has dark thoughts in their hearts, and all they have to do is suppress them. Of course, she was the same, so she eventually dispersed the electricity.

Li Qing laughed and turned his gaze towards the other three people: "You guys are not from the same school, right?"

He already knew that the people were not from the same school, so now he was just making small talk.

Hatsuharu Shikiri smiled and nodded, "Hatsuharu and I are from the other school, and we are ordinary students. Misaka-san and Shirai-san are students of Tokiwadai, the school for young ladies, so we are indeed not from the same school."

"I'm not a young lady!" Misaka Mikoto said embarrassedly.

Saten Ruiko smiled and said, "But she is a psychic who is even more powerful than the young lady."

"Yes! Misaka-san is so amazing!" Hatsuharu Shiori also nodded quickly.

Misaka Mikoto was still embarrassed: "It's not that exaggerated. There's nothing wrong with being a superpower. You can achieve it with hard work."

"I just don't know when I can achieve it." Riri Saotome sighed.

She is a person without special powers. She has tried many times but failed to become one. No matter what method she uses, she cannot stimulate her own special powers. Therefore, people with super powers are like the sun in the sky to her. Although she has never expressed this feeling in front of Misaka Mikoto, she still wants to become a person with special powers in her heart. She wants to become one so much that she is going crazy, but there is still no way. She just uses a smile to cover up her inner frustration and confusion.

Suppressing these emotions, she smiled again and asked Li Qing with a smile: "Student Li Qing, what level of ability user are you?"

Li Qing looked at her with a smile. He knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Incompetent."

"Really?" Riri Saotome was surprised.

She was indeed surprised, but she still couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in her heart, as if the emotions that she had suppressed in her heart were released a little. Because Li Qing was also a person with no ability, she found a little commonality, and the depression in her heart was relieved a little.

"Are you also a powerless person?" Li Qing asked her.

Saten Ruiko nodded.

Then Li Qing smiled and said, "Are you jealous of people with abilities? Do you want to teach them a lesson? Do you want to pull them off the altar and step on them so that they will look up to you? Are you going crazy wanting to become an ability user?"

Saten Ruiko's face changed. These words seemed to bring out all the evil in her heart. She shook her head quickly: "I didn't!"

"I do." Li Qing said.

Saten Ruiko was stunned and looked at Li Qing in disbelief.

Li Qing had a calm look on his face: "This is the dark side of my heart, just like I once thought about robbing a bank. However, I will not do these things because I know it is not right. However, this feeling remains in my heart and I will never be able to let it go. I can't help but think of it when I dream at midnight, which makes me toss and turn and unable to sleep. I am full of envy when I see those people with special abilities. There is no way to avoid this kind of thing, unless I become a person with special abilities too."

Riri Saotome was silent because what Li Qing said was exactly how she felt.

And what Li Qing said was indeed her mood. Li Qing was just using her own tone to express her feelings.

...

38. Urban legend! (Please subscribe!)

Riri Saten stopped talking and fell silent.

The others were looking at her and Li Qing in surprise at this time, because they had never thought about this matter, and were very shocked after hearing it.

Could a person without superpowers have such thoughts in his mind? This was something they had never thought of before, because they all had superpowers. Although Hatsuharu Shiori's superpower level was very low, she also had such abilities. Although she had been trying hard but couldn't improve it, she had never thought of stepping on others, so now she looked a little confused, and didn't know what to say, and stared blankly at Li Qing and Saten Ruiko.

"Saten-san..." Misaka Mikoto looked at Saten Ruiko.

Saten Ruiko reacted and quickly shook her head: "No! No! I don't think so!"

"It's normal to think this way, just don't do it." Li Qing said with a smile.

Saten Ruiko: "I didn't!"

Misaka Mikoto glanced at Li Qing again and said, "Do you think so too?"

"Of course I have thought about it." Li Qing nodded.

Misaka Mikoto fell silent, and after a while she asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Because I can't get it." Li Qing said, "If I can't get it, I want it, but I can't get it no matter how hard I try. After that, I will become obsessed and can't stop being jealous of you people with abilities. Why can you have abilities but we can't? We have also worked very hard and done everything we should do, and we have done more. Why don't we have abilities? This is unfair!"
