A certain scientific Saten Ruiko

"Humph~~Humph~~Humph~~"

In an abandoned facility, Mechanical Teeth peeled off the bad skin and made an artificial skin for himself. He pinched the tight skin, and Mechanical Teeth's eyes moved slightly.

"It's artificial skin."

She stood up and put on her loose robe, and looked at the discarded computer equipment that could still be turned on.

"It's also important to start with form. By the way..."

Countless eyes that could not see with the naked eye looked through the skylight and saw the mechanical teeth below.

At the base of the Corpse Corps, the masked captain Rize Isu took back his abilities and spoke.

"Found it, the abandoned facility of School District 20."

.......

"So, I just want to quickly offset my previous mistakes." Naru, wearing a maid outfit, said cheerfully, holding a popsicle in her hand.

Pill Doctor Yue took a bite of the popsicle and continued: "For this purpose, we do these trivial tasks."

"I'm not referring to this kind of outsourcing work, but to a bigger commission, the kind that makes you famous, and then you can choose a dream team name~~" Naru couldn't help but take the lead by mistake as he spoke.

"The team name...is it like [Props] or [School]?"

Naru instantly held out a finger, nodded with a smile and suggested, "Yeah, how about calling me [Hyena]?"

"No, it's not cute at all." Yaowan's eyes instantly became speechless.

Qingqing, who was at the back of the team, eating watermelon popsicles, interrupted: "Do you have to get that yourself?"

"Quiet."

The captain's voice sounded, and the three of them stopped talking. The four of them walked all the way to the abandoned facility. It looked like ruins, but they didn't find the target they were looking for.

Qingqing: "Isn't the doll here?"

Pill Pill turned to look at Naru who was dressed as a maid and joked seriously: "It's all Naru's fault for saying he wanted to eat popsicles."

"Eh? Didn't you buy it too?"

"Forget it." The captain interrupted the quarrel between the two and covered one eye to activate his ability: "A mere doll cannot escape my [Bird's Eye View Control]"

Countless invisible eyes in the sky easily spotted the mechanical tooth walking alone under the street lamp.

.......

"The danger of clones?" Misaka Mikoto asked doubtfully.

Liang Zi nodded and explained: "Well, to be precise, it's the danger of her soul."

"soul..."

Misaka Mikoto is not very fond of this word.

The woman on the side also asked: "Classmate Cao Zhi, as a scientist, what do you believe?"

Saten Ruiko sniffed, it had nothing to do with her, she was just a tool used by Fuck-sister as a means of transportation.

Ryoko Caochi thought about it and said: "I speculate that the thing called the soul is connected to the physical body. When the physical body loses its function, the soul will disappear. But assuming that the soul resides in the body of the clone, it is only temporarily contained in the machine. Even if the container Even if it is destroyed, it will not disappear, but it will be freed from the bondage.

The soul that has escaped from bondage will spread from the container to the surroundings. Under normal circumstances, free souls cannot exist and will be attached to various materials and manipulated at will.

I think the worst possible scenario is that it will engulf and dominate the entire Academy City. "

"Swallow the entire Academy City..." Misaka Mikoto blinked, what's going on with this sense of déjà vu as the anime plot unfolds...?

"Haa~~~"

Saten Ruiko covered her mouth and yawned, rubbing her eyes. She was so bored. When can she finish talking?

Shokuhou Misaki, who was hiding behind the tree, was a little speechless. Saten came back and lay down on the bed to sleep. He said that his biological clock was out of tune because he had been playing Indian poker. After Misaka Mikoto called her, Shokuhou Misaki said this Only then did he pull out Saten Ruiko who was sleeping soundly under the quilt.

To this, Shokuhou Misaki could only say, "Who told you to disobey me and secretly play Indian poker outside? This is punishment. Get up quickly and let's meet Misaka."

As a result, Saten Ruiko looked listless, but now was not the time to care about her, Shokuhou Misaki controlled the woman and said.

"It means using physical means to destroy the container or body of the clone. It is very dangerous, right?"

"Have you told the institute about these contents?"

"I said it." Ryoko Caochi explained helplessly: "But the director and others were intoxicated with the results and did not accept negative arguments."

"But if the clone hurts herself, wouldn't there be nothing we can do to her?" Shokuhou Misaki asked a very tricky question.

Ryoko Kaochi waved her hand: "I'm afraid it won't be like that... No, it should be said that she can't do it."

"She was originally a modified person, and her artificial body was equipped with a safe self-preservation function. Due to the nature of the modified person, stopping the mechanical function would directly lead to life-threatening danger, so her program did not allow her to cause more than a certain degree of harm to her body. harm."

"Ah...were you responsible for that insurance?" Saten Ruiko asked aloud.

"Well, the clone uses a lot of technologies developed by me, including artificial muscles that contract with drugs, materials that suppress repulsion at the interface with the body, etc."

Misaka Mikoto thought of the Indian Poker that brought her great misfortune and asked, "Isn't the Indian Poker walk also related to the clone?"

Ryoko's expression was slightly suffocated, and then she lowered her head slightly and lowered her eyes.

"Why do you think so?"

"Because you know that the period when the clone existed coincides with the period when that kind of card was popular, it would be more natural to think that there is a relationship." Misaka Mikoto explained it as a matter of course. After getting so much information, it was still easy to deduce.

"Huh~ um, yes"

Sure enough, Ryoko, who was standing opposite, sighed slightly and admitted, and began to explain.

"Indian Poker can learn other people's experiences and techniques through dreams. The rare insights and knowledge in the real world can be expected to change in intelligence by interweaving in dreams."

Ryoko's left hand was touching her chest.

"Although I can't calculate a solution, there will be people who can use those cards to break the status quo. As long as there is a craze and the denominator is increased, the rest is a matter of probability and statistics. You also think this method is tortuous, right? But this is me It doesn’t matter if you despise me if you try your best.”

"Sorry, I have to go back. I still have work on hold. I will definitely try to deal with the clone without your intervention."

As Soga Ryoko left, Shokuhou Soki also walked out from behind the tree.

"You can go back~"

Shokuhou Misaki dismissed the woman in the suit, then looked at Misaka Mikoto, who was frowning slightly, and said.

"You don't seem to like her."

Misaka Mikoto retracted her gaze and responded: "Ryoko is a victim involved in strange incidents. Regarding this matter, I know that I have no right to speak. Even if she says that she can't do it alone, using the Indian Poker involves a lot of people randomly, and I'm a little bit unhappy about it."

"Well, everyone has their own situation." Shokuhou Misaki looked at the remote control in his hand and said meaningfully.

"Sister Kaoqi, can you please stop being the Riddler? Do you have any information that you haven't told yet?" Saten Ruiko looked speechless. She clearly remembered that Sister Kaoqi investigated very clearly in the anime, and she also It was precisely for this reason that Misaka Mikoto chose not to watch any more. She was still angry at getting up, so she spoke impatiently.
