Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

After all, she wasn't the real Misaka Sister; she was just a stranger who had been reincarnated from another world using a body that supposedly cost 180,000 yen to build.

"You better explain this to me!"

Misaka raised her voice slightly as she complained.

He trusted his clone sisters more, and although he noticed Fang Cun's strange behavior, he didn't suspect anything.

"We'll talk about that later. Big sister, are you here to sabotage the equipment?"

"?!!"

Misaka's shocked expression basically meant she had already admitted it; Fangcun was someone who had read the script, just like Leiye.

"how do you know?"

Misaka hadn't mentioned it to anyone, but why did it feel like the whole world knew about it, whether it was the research institute or the clones? Although he wasn't afraid that the people at the research institute would find out that he was the one who did it, this unexpected "information leak" was still a bit unsettling.

"Because I saw it..."

Fang Cun, of course, couldn't say that he had read the script, so he pointed to the laboratory behind Misaka.

"..."

Okay, Misaka also feels like she's becoming a bit neurotic.

"By the way, elder sister, do you know what happened here?"

"what?"

Misaka paused for a moment, then instinctively asked, "Aren't you from this research institute...? You didn't know?"

Misaka originally wanted to say something like "You weren't born here," but then felt it wouldn't be appropriate and changed her approach.

The bald clone in front of him felt different from the other sisters, and it wasn't just because of his baldness or his clothing.

"Right, I'm the older brother, not the older sister... No, I'm not the older brother either!"

Misaka suddenly realized the problem with the way she addressed him and corrected it.

"This is almost the same thing I'm going to talk about later... so could you answer my question first, brother?"

Fang Cun found "Gun Girl's" arrogant demeanor quite adorable and gradually became less nervous.

"All right……"

Misaka pulled her hat down and said, "It seems this research institute ran into some trouble. Everyone was evacuated, only the data was moved. What about you? What do you know? You're not going to ask me for a password again, are you?"

Misaka still harbors resentment towards the clone who made her forget the code.

“I think I know they’ve run into some trouble… This isn’t the place to talk, let’s leave.”

Misaka glanced at Fang Cun suspiciously. This bald clone gave her the feeling of being a normal person, completely different from the one she had encountered before—his expression, demeanor, and tone of voice…

Fang Cun was also having her own little plans. Shouldn't they find a coffee shop or something similar to go out for a talk? She couldn't just go to a coffee shop dressed like this, could she?

Misaka Mikoto isn't short of money; she can always get a decent meal from him. Anyway, most of the valuables in the research institute have been burned down, and everyone's gone, so her plan to make a fortune is doomed.

"it is good!"

Misaka also felt that this place was not a good place to stay, so without thinking much about it, she and Fangcun jogged towards the exit.

……

"What happened here?"

Misaka had the floor plan of the research institute and found the fastest way out, which was the same path Fangcun had taken from the outside.

Naturally, Misaka saw the alloy door that was severely deformed and twisted beyond recognition.

Someone like him, who hadn't witnessed how such a mark was formed, couldn't imagine that such a large hole could be made by flicking out a single finger!

"Was this bombarded by an electromagnetic cannon? Why can't we see the warhead?"

Such a thick alloy can only be penetrated by electromagnetic railguns, which are powered by electromagnetic waves. Gunpowder has its limits!

This must be what the previous alarm was.

But what puzzled Misaka was that she didn't find the bullet, and there were no signs of damage inside the room...

Fang Cun remained silent, though she was incredibly excited inside. However, Misaka was only slightly puzzled and didn't have the inclination to investigate further, nor did she have the time for it now.

This large hole also conveniently saved him the time of opening the door.

"..."

It was impossible for Misaka to miss such conspicuous footprints on the floor by the door; she only glanced at them silently this time.

Fangcun noticed that Misaka had noticed the footprints he left behind, so after crawling out, he deliberately lifted up the long hem of his jacket, which was dragging on the ground, to expose his small feet and make a crazy suggestion.

If you tell others something like this, they might not believe you, but if others discover it through their own deductions, they will definitely believe it without a doubt!

These days, even showing off requires a lot of effort; it's not easy.

And...look! I don't have any shoes yet, can I have a pair?

Double hints are the most deadly.

"Let's go..."

However, Misaka did not heed her crazy suggestion. She looked around at both ends of the street and found that almost no shops were open at this time.

And at some point, an alarm went off, and the store, which was open all night, was closed.

Misaka thought for a moment and said to Fangcun, "I booked a double room at the hotel, let's go there."

P.S.: I didn't expect the chili powder here to be so spicy. Thinking it was in Hangzhou, I added three big spoonfuls to my stir-fries. It was great while eating, but then my anus suffered that evening. My stomach hurt terribly, and I went to the toilet so many times; it felt like it was on fire...

Chapter 255 Describing the Facts

Chapter 255

"Oh, okay."

Fang Cun nodded quickly. Although she knew that "Sister Pao" was not inviting her to a hotel room, she was still a little excited to experience something like this for the first time.

Even though the gender has been reversed...

"Are you sure you're okay with this?"

Misaka led Fangcun a distance and finally discovered that she wasn't even wearing socks; it looked uncomfortable to see her bare feet on the ground.

"It's alright, it's alright, just walk slowly."

Fang Cun immediately pretended to be nonchalant and waved his hand to signal him to continue leading the way.

Are you sure? Are you really okay?

"no problem, no problem."

Fangcun waved his hands this time.

"Ok."

Misaka looked at the clone again suspiciously. Sure enough, no matter how she looked at it, it seemed very strange and suspicious. She thought the hotel staff would probably stop it.

So, having just sneaked into the research institute, the two of them, despite having room keys, secretly slipped into the room again.

"call!"

Misaka looked exhausted and sat on the bed without any regard for her image, which would surely cause Kuroko to nag her again if she saw it.

"I……"

"Alright, wait a moment."

Misaka reached out and interrupted Fang Cun, saying, "You should clean yourself up first, and I'll go find you some decent clothes."

He pointed to the bathroom in the room.

"Oh, okay, okay."

Fangcun got covered in dust and dried blood while fighting with Lingke Yuriko, and hadn't had time to wash it off.

Previously, Fangcun had been in a state of excitement and hadn't noticed, but now that "Sister Cannon" had mentioned it, he felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.

Slightly embarrassed, I awkwardly walked into the bathroom, and only breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door.

With this thin layer of glass separating us, Fang Cun immediately felt much more relaxed.

She took off the white coat that she felt was too loose, revealing her body wearing only underwear.

Hmm... Was it because the size was too small? She didn't need an adult bra; it was just a piece of cloth. This relieved her.

If it really is a cover, she doesn't know how to use it.

There was a small bathtub in the bathroom, large enough for her to soak in now.

After fiddling around a bit, Fang Cun turned the faucet on the bathtub to run hot water, and used the showerhead on the other side to wash off the dust and browned bloodstains from his body.

Fang Cun subconsciously squeezed a handful of shampoo into her hand, just about to apply it to her head...

Never mind, I'll just wash my face.

Thoroughly cleanse your body, especially your feet, and then soak in a bathtub with just the right temperature. Your body and mind will instantly relax.

Misaka listened to the sound of water coming from the bathroom and took out the bag containing Tokiwadai's school uniform.

Yes, it's a complete set, so I don't need to go out and buy any more. The size is also just right.

Misaka took off her baseball cap, let down her ponytail, and neatly folded her short-sleeved shirt and hot pants on the bed next to her.

I'm missing a pair of shoes, and socks.

However, since all the shops are closed now, there's no way to buy them, and ordering online would take at least a few days. So Misaka had no choice but to call the hotel front desk and ask them to send up a pair of slippers, since the disposable ones in the room weren't suitable for going outside.

Despite saying she doesn't care, Misaka is actually quite good to her clone sister, thinking of everything.

"Knock knock!"

Misaka knocked on the glass door and called out into the bathroom, "I left my clothes by the door."

"Thank you, dear sister."

Misaka heard a chaotic splashing sound coming from the bathroom, like someone suddenly standing up from the water, losing their balance, and falling back in.

"You're welcome."

Misaka returned to the bed on the left side of the bathroom, took out her handheld console, and glanced at the time. The dormitory curfew had long passed; she didn't know if she'd make it back in time...

Fang Cun didn't keep Misaka waiting long. Hearing that "Railgun" had prepared the clothes so quickly, she immediately left the bathtub that had been bothering her. She dried herself off, hurriedly put on her underwear, and quietly opened the door a crack, seeing the clothes that "Railgun" had prepared for her.

"..."

Isn't this the same casual outfit that "Railgun" was just wearing? No wonder she was so quick, she could just take it off in one go.

Fang Cun reached in and took the clothes, glancing somewhat guiltily at the direction of the bed through the wall. He held the clothes in his hands, buried his face in them, and tried to smell something.

Yes, it does have a faint fragrance, like a mixture of shower gel and cosmetics.

She was just curious, not henpecked. She took a sniff, put on her clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.

"...Why would you shave your head?"

Misaka looked at Fangcun walking straight towards her, the other person wearing the clothes she had just worn, and the feeling of looking in a mirror became even stronger.

Correspondingly, the gleaming bald head made it impossible for him to look directly at it.

"I didn't want this either. I hope it can grow back...maybe."

Thinking about his transformation frequency, Fang Cun instantly felt that things were going to be in trouble.

"never mind."

Misaka simply handed over the hat she had bought, and it looked much better on her immediately after she put it on.

"Now you can tell me about your situation."

There are too many strange things about this clone. If I ask her about them one by one, I might miss something. It's better to let her tell me herself.

"Let me sort this out..."

Fang Cun looked at the "Girlfriend" in front of him, who had changed into a men's uniform and looked very heroic, and slowly said the words he had prepared beforehand.

Perhaps because of first impressions, even now when she sees "Railgun" dressed as a man, knowing that he is male, she still thinks that "Railgun" is just a girl dressed as a man.

"The research institute sent me to participate in an experiment today. I was supposed to be killed, but a small accident happened..."
