Crossover Anime: Starting with a Life Index, Join the Chat Group

Misaki Shokuhou asked, puzzled.

Misaka Mikoto also looked at Luo Hao.

"This has to do with the nature of a mage's power. In general, a mage's power is actually borrowed, and is manifested in reality through rituals."

The two nodded, indicating that they understood.

Luo Hao continued, "What Aleister wants to do is influence this. You know electromagnetic waves interfere with signals, right? The principle is roughly this: place the Misaka Sisters in every corner of the world, and through their connections, create a powerful electromagnetic interference network, thereby affecting the magician's rituals' communication with other dimensions, thus preventing them from manifesting their power into reality."

"I see! Then...wait...should we stop the plan to send them all over the world?"

Misaka Mikoto suddenly remembered how to deal with the Misaka Sisters, her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly asked Dong.

"Why stop it?"

Luo Hao looked at Misaka Mikoto with amusement.

"Misaka Sisters are going to be used as weapons!"

"so what?"

"Huh? Huh?"

Misaka Mikoto stared at Luo Hao in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that the words she had just heard came from him.

"Misaka-san, calm down. Don't just look at things from one side. Let me ask you, do you know whose people are helping us settle Misaka Sisters? You don't really think we have that much power, do you?"

Chapter 172 For the Happiness of Misaka Sisters

"..."

Misaka Mikoto fell silent; clearly, lacking in-depth knowledge in this area, she hadn't considered the question.

After Luo Hao explained it to me, I finally realized what he meant.

The ability to simultaneously house 20,000 people, provide them with education, and repair their physical defects is truly an absurd feat.

It doesn't seem like something that Misaki Shokuhou and Luo Hao could organize.

In other words, these forces come from outside, most likely from... the chairman of the Academy City, Aleister.

But she couldn't accept the idea of ​​turning these Misaka Sisters into Aleister's weapons because of this.

"can……"

Misaka Mikoto opened her mouth, then closed it again, her face showing hesitation and confusion.

She wanted to refuse Aleister's help in order to help the Misaka Sisters break free from Aleister's control.

However, she was also very clear about her own abilities; she couldn't solve the problem herself, and she felt that she didn't have the right to ask Luo Hao and Misaki Shokuhou for help.

Let's set aside whether the two of them have the ability to solve this problem.

Speaking solely of the Misaka Sisters issue, who has the most responsibility and the most urgent need to solve it is Misaka Mikoto.

She felt a sense of responsibility for the birth of these Misaka Sisters. In her view, their existence was due to her own DNA being accidentally leaked, which led to their creation.

Although it was unintentional, it still depended on her.

Therefore, she believes that she is the one who most wants these Misaka Sisters to be happy.

This is her business.

Now, Misaki Shokuhou and Luo Hao are helping her for some reason, and they have successfully found a method that seems to be working well, for which she is very grateful.

However, if she is dissatisfied with the consequences of this method and wants to refuse, then she shouldn't expect the two of them to bear the consequences of her refusal.

So, it naturally turned out this way.

I want to refuse, but I don't know how.

They were stuck in place.

Luo Hao chuckled as he looked at the hesitant and conflicted Misaka Mikoto in front of him.

In his eyes, Misaka Mikoto's troubles were indeed the troubles of a child.

As Misaka Mikoto smiled at him with a puzzled expression, he slowly spoke, "Misaka-san, what is your, or rather, our most important goal? Is it just to stop Aleister? Why?"

"Of course, I don't want the Misaka Sisters to become his weapons."

Misaka Mikoto responded matter-of-factly.

"why?"

Luo Hao continued to ask.

"what why?"

"Why are you unwilling to let the Misaka Sisters become Aleister's weapon?"

"This……"

Misaka Mikoto showed a hesitant expression.

In her view, not wanting the Misaka Sisters to become weapons was simply a matter of not wanting them to be, and if asked why, she really couldn't answer.

"Let's put it another way! What do you want in this matter?"

Every problem has a source, and problems arise when they conflict with the purpose of that source.

What does Misaka Mikoto want?

"So that the Misaka Sisters can live happily."

Misaka Mikoto replied.

"That's right, so... is there a conflict between a happy life and becoming a weapon?"

"of course."

Misaka Mikoto responded matter-of-factly.

"No, not necessarily!"

However, Misaka Mikoto had already understood Luo Hao's meaning and retorted.

"Becoming a weapon is one thing, but whether you can live a happy life is another. Misaka-san, how do you feel about your life right now?"

"Huh? That's good..."

Although she was a little puzzled by Luo Hao's sudden question, Misaka Mikoto knew it must be related to what was to come, so she quickly responded.

"Did you know that, in the eyes of outsiders, superpowered individuals are essentially weapons of Academy City?"

"Eh?!!!"

Misaka Mikoto blinked, a surprised expression on her face.

Clearly, she didn't know, and never even considered it.

But the fact remains that superpowered individuals are the cornerstone of Academy City's stability, and any external forces that covet Academy City must consider whether they can withstand attacks from their own superpowered individuals.

Therefore, superpowered individuals are actually weapons of Academy City, threatening the world.

Seeing Misaka Mikoto's thoughtful expression, Luo Hao continued naturally, "By accepting Aleister's conditions, these Misaka Sisters can receive education all over the world, and then travel to various corners of the world to begin their own lives and embark on their real lives. Perhaps they will be used as weapons in the future, or they may be retaliated against and destroyed by Aleister's enemies, but at least they have a beginning, and they will have their own stories."

"As for rejecting Aleister, even if we take a step back and consider Aleister as a great philanthropist, he didn't retaliate and was just reasonably withdrawing his funding. But Misaka's fate is only one: to die in the research lab. Which one do you think is happier?"

"..."

Misaka Mikoto fell silent. Could these two polarized choices really be considered choices at all?

She now understands perfectly well that, in reality, she had no choice.

She looked at Luo Hao, and after realizing that she had no other choice, she calmed down.

Since Luo Hao told her this, there must be more to it.

And it is definitely in the best interest of Misaka Mikoto.

"It seems you understand. However, although things will definitely develop this way, there is still something you can do. You can protect the happiness of the Misaka Sisters to a certain extent, so that they will not be harmed by Aleister's scheme."

Luo Hao smiled. What he had said before was just to clarify things and make Misaka Mikoto fully understand the cause and effect of the matter, so as to guide her to become his pawn.

Now, it's time to reveal the secret.

Luo Hao wasn't worried; he was confident that Misaka Mikoto wouldn't be able to refuse what he was about to say.

"Electromagnetic forces are not all the same. There are so many electromagnetic force users in Academy City. I'm sure you, Misaka-san, haven't been able to connect to anyone through a network!"

"Yes."

Misaka Mikoto wasn't in a hurry. She knew Luo Hao wouldn't talk nonsense, and all this information was valuable.

"But the Misaka Sisters' electromagnetic forces are very similar, almost identical, and they... are all your clones."

"You mean?"

"They can form a network, and you can naturally join it. This way, they can access the knowledge and insights you share, you can see what they experience, and you can also assist them with computing power to a certain extent. Twenty thousand level 2 users and one level 5 user—even if this computing power doesn't reach the realm of gods, it's at least far beyond the regular level 5! Perhaps it can help them avoid a lot of dangers! Most importantly... you will also know everything about Aleister's use and be able to take precautions."

"So, have you ever thought about joining us?"

Luo Hao extended his right hand.
