"You fought that woman?" Accelerator asked as he caught up.
"She is indeed strong." Ryougi Shiki glanced at him, then frowned. "I saw several different lines of death on her, not just from her own power."
Although it was difficult for Shiki to get close to the opponent because of their fast attack speed and wide range, she could still observe from a distance using her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
"Master." Violet also chimed in. "The bullets, they were all blocked."
She certainly possessed an incredible talent for combat, but facing an enemy she couldn't get close to, where all ranged attacks were ineffective, also left her feeling helpless.
"Well..." Shen He sighed. "At least we know we can't fight head-on."
Their strength was still insufficient. Even though they retreated from the battle, it still brought him considerable experience. This alone demonstrated the gap in their power.
This A Certain Magical Index Instance World was indeed a truly difficult instance.
I wonder if using the Intermediate Enhancement Card from the Silver Treasure Chest to enhance Saiki Kusuo to level sixty would give him a fighting chance.
With all sorts of thoughts swirling in their minds, they quickly approached the place where Saiki Kusuo and Misaka Mikoto were.
It was a hard-to-find alleyway, with a faint smell of sewage in the air. Due to the city's dilapidated operating system, this city was gradually changing into a state that was no longer suitable for living.
Shen He led a large group of people jumping down from above and saw the familiar Railgun.
"It seems you've received my gift," Shen He said, looking at the doll in Railgun's arms, with a gentle smile. "Let me introduce myself briefly. I am their Master, Shen He. Saiki should have already told you our intentions."
"Hello." Because she was facing an adult, Misaka Mikoto was still a little reserved, but she quickly widened her eyes, pointing at Accelerator behind Shen He. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be seriously injured in the hospital?"
"...I've recovered."
Accelerator sized up the Misaka Mikoto in front of him.
Obviously, it wasn't a Misaka Sister.
It was also visually impossible that it was the Misaka who had seriously injured him that day. So, it could only be the real Misaka Mikoto, as expected.
"Accelerator has realized the unforgivable mistakes he has made," Shen He interjected. "He's now determined to make amends, so at least in the goal of saving the Misaka Sisters, he's on the same side as us."
Accelerator responded to Shen He's words with silence.
He didn't think he was making amends, nor did he think this could be made up for, but he absolutely had to save Last Order.
Misaka Mikoto found this very unbelievable.
The last time she saw Accelerator, his ferocious smile, the cruel methods he used to kill the Misaka Sisters, and his strength, which was so powerful that it was despairing, had almost become a shadow in her heart.
After a moment of silence, Misaka Mikoto suddenly looked up at them with a very serious expression:
"Thank you all very much for your help, but relying on others is still wrong. Since this trouble arose because of me, I should take responsibility and solve it with my own strength."
She couldn't let anyone else sacrifice themselves for her.
Misaka Mikoto closed her eyes like a weary adult, even though she had no confidence in succeeding, she still didn't want to involve innocent people any further.
"I think you might have misunderstood something."
The sudden, helpless voice made Misaka Mikoto open her eyes.
Shen He was indeed looking at her with a helpless expression. "I thought Saiki had already made it clear to you. This matter isn't us helping you, but rather us seeking your help, understand? Handling the other Misaka Mikoto and stopping the war can be said to be our job."
"What kind of job is that?"
Misaka Mikoto looked like she was being told a childish lie.
"Anyway, you just need to know that we can gain benefits from it." Shen He looked around. "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go, we'll explain on the way—don't overthink it. It's only natural for children to rely on adults. Here, I have one more for you."
With the air of an adult, plus a Gekota Hair Clip from the system, Misaka Mikoto obediently followed.
Although he liked Misaka Mikoto's cheerful and lively personality when watching the anime and even called her "Railgun" like everyone else, when he actually interacted with her, she was clearly still just a child.
On the way back to Kamijou Touma, he briefly explained their identities.
Chaldea was a catch-all explanation for openly intervening in events, and anything could be vaguely attributed to the "organization's ideals." Under Accelerator's confirmation, Misaka Mikoto no longer had any doubts.
"So, you guys are like Super Wings, traversing different dimensions to save the worlds?" Misaka Mikoto seemed very interested and kept asking, "Will there be a metal rod that makes people lose their memories with a 'biu' sound? Or are you like knight heroes, hiding among the public as ordinary people and then suddenly flying over with knight masks and capes when there's a mission?"
"...What a load of nonsense..." Shen He was speechless. "Can't the young lady from Tokiwadai Middle School watch some more meaningful movies and TV shows?"
"That's how girls' schools are." Misaka Mikoto nodded seriously. "It's because you adults all think girls should be ladies, so we have to work so hard. But, speaking of which, are there any kids as young as her among you? She really startled me during the battle just now."
Pointing at was Violet, who was carrying a huge scythe.
The reason she had acted without regard for revealing her identity was because this small, cute-looking child was about to be killed by another Misaka Mikoto.
"Not every child in every world is like the ones in your world."
Shen He reached out his hand towards Violet, and the girl very obediently placed her small hand into Shen He's large hand.
"We don't know Violet's origins, but she undoubtedly grew up on the battlefield. In terms of battles she's experienced, or even the number of people she's killed, none of us can compare to her." Shen He said, turning to look at Misaka Mikoto. "So, don't think about handling everything yourself. Even those who are stronger than you need to rely on others."
With the probability up, he was determined to get the Railgun.
He naturally had to lay the groundwork at this time.
Misaka Mikoto stared blankly at Violet, who was tightly holding onto her hand, only able to grasp three of her fingers.
No matter what she encountered in the past, she always believed she could handle it herself, until this time…
