"Hiss... What on earth are these guys thinking? It's impossible to get close to them!"
Upon arriving, Anti-Skill's members collectively took a deep breath. It was reasonable that they should have rushed in directly, but now they couldn't even enter the main gate because there were several mercenaries standing there. And in front of them are some scientists.
These people were doomed, as they were carrying explosives on their bodies, and there were mercenaries with guns pointed at them from behind.
All those researchers were fully aware of the situation, but none of them dared to make the slightest move. They could only kneel on the spot with a pale face.
With terrified expressions, the Anti-Skill was also reluctant to take action now. If they made a move, the captors might trigger the explosives on the hostages, which would be disastrous.
Moreover, although the mercenaries on the other side stood there boldly, they were in a human shield formation.
In such a situation, even if they managed to eliminate one or two, the others wouldn't hesitate to retaliate. The result would be that they couldn't rescue the hostages, and everyone would end up dying together. It could be said to be a brutal situation.
The Anti-Skill was completely helpless. Going in directly was too risky, and trying to flank the situation proved equally challenging. The captors were standing right at the main entrance of the research facility, and besides the main gate, there was another secret access point into the facility. However, the same situation applied there as well, and they couldn't find any way to breach it.
To make matters worse, these captors had positioned themselves in areas with limited access, making it extremely awkward for the security team.
"These guys are total desperados. What on earth is inside this research facility that would make them do something so reckless and self-destructive!"
The commanding officer in charge was also puzzled, but he knew that there must be something inside the facility that these captors needed. Otherwise, they would have fled long ago.
Of course, he couldn't understand why these people, who were said to be ruthless killers, had released a few hostages. It was all quite perplexing for him.
"How's the situation?"
At this moment, a motorcycle raced onto the scene, and the rider was none other than Aiho.
Previously, she had been on duty elsewhere, but after receiving the news, she rushed over decisively.
"It's not good, it's really dire. Those guys seem to have no clear objective, and even our negotiation experts, whom we sent in, are being completely ignored They're like a fortress. It's frustrating!"
commanding officer looked utterly helpless, but it wasn't entirely his fault. The main issue was that the opponents were behaving in a bizarre and uncooperative manner, giving him no room to work with.
In such a situation, one would usually expect some negotiation, but these guys... they seemed utterly fearless of death!
"Have you tried using Espers?"
Aiho suddenly asked.
Control type ability was quite rare, and the only Level 5 Esper with such ability is Misaki. However, that didn't mean there were no other high-level Espers with similar abilities. And at the very least, powerful Espers could offer some assistance.
"It's useless, We've tried, but it's like they have mental immunity. It's as if their minds are equipped with radar. I also had invisible operatives try to get close, but they couldn't even get near them."
"And as soon as they approached, the bullet would shoot to under their feet, there was no way to get close!"
The commanding officer was nearly at his wit's end. This was a dead end – direct assault didn't work, negotiation didn't work, and even using Espers had failed.
These people were like immovable rocks, and also untouchable like porcupines.
"It seems we really have no choice but to wait and see!"
Even Aiho was at a loss. The other side was completely unyielding, and she couldn't do much about it. So, both sides remained in a deadlock.
At this time, Asahi had already reached the underground research facility. The individuals that needed to be dealt with here had been taken care of, and there were over a thousand Sisters in this place.
Due to the sheer number of Sisters, they were cultivated in multiple research facilities simultaneously, as one facility couldn't handle them all.
Upon seeing these Sisters, Asahi simply snapped his fingers, and the aftereffects in their bodies disappeared. The cultivation tanks they were in also vanished, and they were now dressed in clothing identical to that of real Mikoto.
A group of Misaka Sisters have now completely gotten rid of their previous state, except for some emotional anomalies.
Originally, due to being mass-produced and rapidly grown, they didn't have the typical lifespan of regular humans. However, for Asahi, this was no issue at all, and he effortlessly resolved it. As for their emotions, that too was not a problem.
Regarding the emotional aspect, in the original work, emotions were artificially created for the Misaka Sisters through the Emotion System created by Nunotaba Shinobu.
However, Asahi had a different perspective from her. While the Misaka Sisters were indeed mass-produced, he had his own approach to their emotional development.
Asahi has observed and realized that every Misaka Sister possessed a soul, which meant they all had emotions. It was just that, in the original work, Nunotaba Shinobu had activated their emotions early.
Strictly speaking, if someone, who is relatively young, was loaded with a considerable amount of knowledge shortly after their birth, they naturally couldn't develop complete emotions.
People, including the Misaka Sisters, needed to grow and develop naturally. Rushing this process would lead to problems.
Therefore, they actually had emotions within themselves but needed to bring them out gradually. Once one sister succeeded, the others would share that experience through the Misaka Network.
After accelerating the process, Nunotaba Shinobu had only expedited the development of emotions. So, in the realm of emotions, there wasn't really a significant issue.
Asahi wasn't concerned that they couldn't develop emotions, as that was just simply nonsense.
After seeing Asahi clearly, the Misaka Sisters went into a frenzy, chattering and talking non-stop, leaving Asahi utterly speechless for a while. Over a thousand sisters with a completely unanticipated surge in emotions resulted in a scene that was truly bizarre beyond measure.
"I know you are all very confused right now, so go connect with your sisters from before. Afterward, you will naturally understand!"
Asahi snapped his fingers, and these sisters disappeared from his sight, transferred to another world. Once they connected to the Misaka Network, they would naturally know what had happened.
After all, the previous sisters had been resurrected and saved by Asahi, so no one died. As for Dolly, after everything was resolved, Asahi planned to surprise Misaki.
