When Misaka heard the meaning of life for the first time, her heart suddenly started beating. It was like an explorer who had been lost in the desert for three days and saw an oasis when he was facing death due to severe dehydration. Even if there was a mirage ahead, the desire to survive could give them the motivation to live again.
The same is true for Misaka Sister. At this moment, she is a drowning person grasping at straws. The gradually accumulated emotions make her yearn for her own meaning.
Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?
Misaka Network has set off an endless hurricane...
Duke saw the desire in the girl's eyes and confirmed that she had developed self-awareness, like a strong artificial intelligence that transcends 0 and 1, constantly absorbing, learning, and simulating. Her emotions will become richer and richer in the future. One day, she will become a real person, not a clockwork puppet that follows the rules.
"How should I explain the meaning of life?" Duke looked at Mingtu Zhuihun in embarrassment. He was not a psychologist, and helping patients with their mental illnesses should be done by professionals.
"The meaning of life is different for everyone, which involves religious theology and cosmic concepts, and this is already in the realm of philosophy!" The Soul Chaser clapped his hands, indicating that he was powerless.
Misaka sister was overjoyed, holding her phone and becoming a head-down party. Duke and the Ghost Chaser were freed, and they both breathed a sigh of relief and left the ward.

"Could it be that I lost it during the battle with Accelerator? No way, I will also encounter such bad luck?"
"Damn it! What on earth happened?"
"How can there be such a doctor?" Kiyama Haruo sneered. No one knew better than her what those students had experienced. It was not a disease at all. "Maybe we can give it a try..."
In the District 7 center, in a building that cannot be entered or exited.
Researchers like Duke also have an ID card with the same function, but it is more comprehensive and can even be used as a driver's license in Academy City. If he loses his ID card, he will be unable to move around in Academy City.
"The power of God..." Aleister hesitated. His intuition told him that Duke was using the power of God, but there was always an inexplicable meaning in it.
After leaving the hospital, Duke ran all the way to buy coffee and returned to the institute in two minutes.
"You must be joking. His ability is unbeatable."
"He was defeated?"
————————————————————————————————————————————
Duke was silent for a while, then said, "Today I met a very good doctor in the Seventh School District. He has the medical skills to break the life and death. Maybe he can cure your student."
Duke put down his coffee and hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but say, "Professor Mushan, do we have to go that far?"
…
Academy City was not peaceful in the early morning. When the Hounds arrived at the street where Duke and Accelerator were fighting, everyone gasped. The entire street seemed to have been transported into a world of ice and snow, with the overwhelming cold covering everything, especially the center. They recognized the frozen white hair.
"Huh?" Duke searched all his pockets, only to find out sadly that his ID card was missing.
During the battle between Duke and Accelerator, all the nearby hovering loops were destroyed because the nanorobots would be frozen if they got close, so Aleister could only see the scene from a distance.
Kiyama Haruo clenched his fists, his whole body tense and trembling, and finally relaxed, saying in a hoarse voice: "Even if it means making the whole world my enemy, I will try once. If you want to stop me, you'd better do it now."
"I remember it took half a month to get a replacement. Is it really that miserable?"
"It turns out that I'm not the only unfortunate person. I suddenly feel a lot more comforted." Duke said happily.
"The 'Illusion Hand' that is very popular on the Internet now is your masterpiece! It can improve the ability level and allow people without abilities to realize their own reality... You are an expert in brain physiology and a researcher specializing in AIM diffusion fields. You should understand the danger of this thing. Moreover, you have to face the entire Academy City. Excuse me, you can't succeed! Is it really worth it to sacrifice yourself for those students?"
"Where did you get the coffee?" Duke asked in confusion.
The dejected Duke teleported into the room and saw Haruo Kiyama in the office. She should have been in the laboratory, but she was standing at the window in cool underwear with a can of iced coffee in her hand.
"We can talk about the dragon later. As for this mysterious researcher, his ability is... does he use the power of God?"
"Aleister, have you seen the ice dragon? I don't remember this dragon existing in mythology, but it seems to be real and not fictional." The plain female voice raised the question, calmly as if nothing in the world could surprise her.
“They said that because Accelerator and the replica left the experimental area, so…”
"Why does it take so long to buy a cup of coffee?" The young lady looked at Duke with a scrutinizing look, while drinking the cold and delicious coffee and fanning herself with her hands.
The three sacred birds, the three sacred dogs, the three sacred toilets, the three sacred mushrooms, the three gay guys… the second-level gods in the Pokémon world, calling their abilities the power of God… nothing wrong with that.
“Where are the researchers who conducted the experiment, and why didn’t they report it?”
Duke did not stop her until the little sister left. Fantasy Yushou was the last hope of Kimura Haruo, and she could not let go. Instead of stopping her, it would be better to wait for her to realize her failure.
"Also, you maxed out my credit card?" The young lady took out her cell phone and pointed at the text message alert.
The image of Kamijou Mikoto flashed through Duke's mind, and he roughly guessed why there was a sudden power outage. It was probably because the hedgehog-head was being abused at home again.
Tsk tsk, how miserable! "Because the experiment cannot be carried out temporarily, I will not come to the institute for the next week. During this time, you can organize the database." The young lady took out her top from the cabinet beside her, put it on, picked up the car keys and prepared to leave.
"What are you talking about?" Kimura Haruo's shoulders trembled and he pretended not to understand.
In fact, if we have to say that the power Duke used was indeed the power of God, but this God was not that God.
Articuno is, after all, a second-level god!
The two racked their brains to explain to Misaka, but in return they were met with a blank look. In desperation, Duke handed his phone to Misaka, searched for relevant knowledge on the Internet, and let her figure it out on her own.
"The strongest person in Academy City... Accelerator!?"
"How is it possible? Who did it?"
"I waited for you for a long time but you didn't come back. You didn't answer my phone calls, so I had to go out and buy it myself." Kiyama Haruo complained: "I don't know what happened. There was a sudden power outage just now. The backup power supply can't meet the needs of the experiment. I had to stop the work at hand... and the air conditioner is also broken."
"Haha..." Duke broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
Aleister muttered to himself, "It's neither a superpower nor magic, but it's very similar to both. What's the source of his power? This is becoming more and more interesting..."
"But never mind. I'm in a good mood today." Kimiya Haruo hummed a tune and smiled for the first time in a long time.
There is no such thing as an ID card in Academy City. After all, most people are minors, so every student has a magnetic stripe student ID card that records all personal information, including name, age, school, etc.
"That's true. If it is a puppet created by a special ability, then the person who created the ice dragon must know a lot about dragons... but this is obviously impossible. Whether it is the structure or the aura, it is beyond human ability to simulate. I am becoming more and more interested in this researcher!"
"Where are the nearby cameras? Check out the video footage immediately."
"In the end, I still have to finish it..."
"Wouldn't it be better to test it with divine power? The saint of the English Puritan Church will be here soon, let them meet."
"Do you want to recruit him?" The female voice mixed with strange noises sounded again.
"It's not about recruiting them. It seems our researcher is a lazy guy and probably has no interest in my plan. However, it would be a waste to leave such a strong fighting force unused." Aleister, who was suspended in the red liquid, opened his eyes and curled his lips into a determined smile.
"With one more strong man in Academy City, the magic side will be in a mess for a while, and I can also gain more benefits, so why not do it!"
