Open the door, there is another world

Then he muttered, “But this Tsuchimikado Motoharu is miserable, right? She has become a victim among the big men.”
Li Qing shrugged: “This is how the world is, the strong prey on the weak.”
Misaka Mikoto disagreed with this: “No, everyone should be equal.”
Li Qing laughed: “Everyone is equal? Then what’s wrong with your sister?”
Misaka Mikoto fell silent.
Li Qing shook his head again: “Also, don’t think that you people with super powers are so powerful. In fact, you are all just test subjects.”
“No,” Misaka Mikoto retorted.
Li Qing shook his head: “If you say it’s not, then it’s not.”
Misaka Mikoto was silent again, thinking about Li Qing’s words in her mind. Although she didn’t want to admit what Li Qing said, after what happened to her sisters, she was no longer so naive. She had already known the dark side of Academy City and knew that many things were not as simple as they seemed. Before, she thought that Academy City was a paradise for people with super powers and everything here was so beautiful, but now she can see a lot of darkness hidden under this beauty.
For example, the experiments in which I participated and the medicines I took.
Everything is done in compliance with the institute. They do whatever the institute asks them to do. This is undoubtedly the treatment for experimental subjects.
Also, Academy City allows people to enter but not leave. Once these people with super powers enter, they have never left again. If their family members want to see them, they must go to the annual Daibaxing Festival. And after the festival is over, their family members must leave. They cannot leave unless they have other very legitimate reasons. From this respect, they are no different from the pampered experimental subjects. All these things prove what Li Qing said.
So Misaka Mikoto couldn’t refute, she could only sit there in silence.
At this time, Index woke up from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and came out. She looked at Li Qing and Misaka Mikoto and said, “Li Qing, Mikoto, I’m hungry!”
“…”
He just eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, just like a pig.

But Index was still allowed to go eat.
The three of them went to the commercial street downstairs, had a meal there, and then Misaka Mikoto left.
Li Qing and Index went to look around elsewhere.
The sky had darkened at this time, but the Academy City was not quiet under the night sky, with many people wandering around the streets. Adolescents are restless, so the streets are always very lively, and the darkness in the Academy City is bottomless. Many students formed gangs one after another, just like the gangs in the movies, they believed that after dark was their territory, so they began to come out and move around.
Lee Sin and Index were walking on the street.
Index was eating grilled squid in her hand and looking around with a curious expression. Li Qing was holding a bottle of juice in his hand and was also looking around. Then he saw someone rushing past. Hass with a cold expression was about to freeze the person to death. Li Qing took a curious look and saw that these guys had bulges on their waists, obviously hiding some weapons, so Li Qing knew that these guys were from those gangs.
However, Li Qing didn’t care. He withdrew his gaze with a smile and walked away with Index.
“Meow!”
Suddenly the cat’s voice was heard.
Index’s eyes lit up and she quickly ran in the direction where the cat came from. Li Qing took a look and shook his head helplessly, but followed her. They were just strolling around, so this kind of thing was completely irrelevant. Then the two of them came to a small alley. There was a cardboard box against the wall next to the alley. The cat’s voice came from there, and Index quickly trotted over.
Before she could reach her destination, someone came out of the alley and stood in front of Index coldly: “Get out of here!”
Index subconsciously stopped and looked at these people curiously: “Who are you?”
“What do you care who we are! Get out of here! Otherwise don’t blame us for being rude!” the sketch said coldly.
Index said angrily, “No way! God said that all beings are equal! You have no reason to ask me to leave! Get out of the way! I want to find Kitten!”
“God?” These people looked at each other and then burst into laughter. “Where is God? This is the scientific Academy City! Don’t talk about superstitions in public! You will be laughed to death! Little brat! Get out of here! Otherwise, the weapons in our hands will not have eyes! Get out! Get out!”
He came over and pushed Index. Index’s face turned red with anger: “How dare you insult God!”
“Insult? If you don’t leave, we will not only insult you!” These people said with a sneer.
Index’s eyes turned red with anger.
Although she was a foodie, she was also a devout nun, so she was very angry when these people insulted the gods. However, she also had the upbringing of a nun and knew that violence could not solve the problem. So even though she was very angry now, she did not think of resorting to violence. She just looked at these guys angrily and said, “God said…”
“Get out!” He was pushed and staggered.
Index: You guys!
Then there were clanging sounds, and baseball bats appeared in the hands of these guys. They were metal bats, emitting a cold metallic glow.
Index subconsciously took a step back, but soon she took another step forward: “God said that violence is not advisable and cannot solve any problem. We should sit down and have a good talk and solve the problem in a peaceful way…”
“Get out of the way!” The metal bat smashed down directly and hit Index’s shoulder.
Index turned pale with fright and subconsciously closed her eyes. Then, with a snap, the metal bat was caught. It was Lee Sin who came over. Although Index had the Mobile Church on her, the metal bat would not cause any harm to her even if it hit her. But just as Index closed her eyes subconsciously out of fright, Lee Sin also subconsciously caught it, and his face looked very ugly.
There is no doubt that these people in front of them did not know the existence of the Mobile Church, so they really wanted to break Index’s shoulder.
It was simply unscrupulous, so Li Qing was not in a good mood.
He simply pulled out his hand to grab the metal baseball bat, and then smashed it towards the shoulders of the guys in front of him with a bang. The metal baseball bat seemed to become an afterimage, and a few muffled bangs were heard, followed by screams. The shoulders of these guys immediately drooped down.
Li Qing threw the metal baseball bat aside and said to Index: “Go hug your little kitty.”
Index was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She quickly looked at the people who were wailing while holding their shoulders and asked, “Did you break their shoulders?”
“They’re like breaking your shoulders, so I’m giving them a taste of their own medicine.” Li Qing said.
Index quickly said, “This is not right.”
Li Qing shrugged: “This is what I do.”
Index was helpless.
Li Qing smiled and said, “Okay, go hug your cat.”
Index reluctantly went to hug the cat.
At this time, the people in the alley also noticed the situation outside. Today, their group originally planned to discuss the expansion of their territory here, so they sent people out to guard. As a result, they heard a noise, and after the noise, there were screams, so the people inside came out to see, and then they saw their gang members lying on the ground wailing, with a nun and a boy standing there, and the nun was holding a kitten in her arms.
So these people’s faces became gloomy.
Soon after, these people, along with everyone else in the alley, were lying on the ground with their shoulders hugged, all of them suffering from broken shoulders.
Li Qing and Index walked out of the alley. Index was helpless about Li Qing’s violence. She also used some words of God’s revelation to speak to Li Qing. Li Qing just nodded after listening. Index was immediately helpless, so she didn’t say much in the end. She just held the cat and prayed devoutly for a while. Li Qing heard a few words of her prayer, saying that all the sins were hers. Li Qing couldn’t help but smile when he heard it.
After that, the matter just passed. It was just a small episode and Li Qing didn’t take it to heart at all.
Then he remembered what happened to the magician before, and looked towards the windowless building, which was Aleister. Not long after he appeared in Academy City, the magician appeared in front of him and caught his attention. Although this could be explained away as a coincidence, there were no coincidences in Academy City, so all this was arranged by Aleister. So Li Qing laughed and retracted his gaze.
Just try it out, it’s just some fun on those boring days.
“Index, do you know many magicians?” Li Qing suddenly asked Index.
Index was stunned for a moment, then said, “Yes! I know a lot of them! Li Qing, do you want to meet them?”
Li Qing shook his head: “Just asking casually.”
It was indeed just a casual question, so she continued, “Do you really know a lot of them?”
Index nodded subconsciously, and her mind also subconsciously recalled the existence of those magicians, but she suddenly found that she had very few memories in her mind, and she could only remember a handful of magicians. This was completely different from what she felt in her subconscious. In her subconscious, she felt that she knew many magicians, but the actual situation was that she could only remember very few magicians, so she was a little confused.
Then she immediately said to Li Qing: “Li Qing, something seems to be wrong. Did I forget something? I obviously know a lot of magicians!”
Li Qing shook his head: “Don’t worry, this is just your illusion.”
Li Qing didn’t intend to tell Index that her memory had been erased, so she just perfunctorily passed it over. Index nodded blankly, always feeling that something was wrong, but she didn’t know what. At this time, the smell of food came from not far away, and Index’s attention was immediately attracted. She ran over happily and threw away the questions in her mind.
Filling your stomach is the most important thing in the world.
Li Qing smiled and shook his head, then followed him. He found that there was another guy here who looked a little familiar. Index was wearing a nun’s costume, while this guy was wearing a miko’s costume, the red and white kind. This girl had long black straight hair, and her expression looked a little indifferent. She just stood there blankly, staring at the food on the food cart, but she didn’t say anything. She looked completely speechless.
Li Qing knew who this girl was. This girl was Aisa Himegami, the vampire killer with super powers.
It is a rare rough stone.
A raw stone is a person who has awakened superpowers without having experienced any superpower development. The ability of the vampire killer Aisa Himegami is awakened autonomously, so she has great research value, but she has no combat ability. Her ability is just like its name, which is a special attack against vampires. Vampires will die as long as they come into contact with her blood, but it has little effect on other people, so her combat power is actually nothing to look at, and some things cannot be refused.
And she didn’t want such an ability, because it was useless and would make her a serious target of researchers.
Her life will only be affected and she will not get any benefit from it, so she has always wanted to get rid of this ability, but unfortunately, Academy City studies super powers in order to make people become super-powered people rather than turn super-powered people into non-super-powered people, so her wish has never been realized.

Now Aisa Himegami is receiving treatment at a place called Misawajuku, because that place claims that it can solve the problems she is facing.
The reason why she was here was that she got lost. She stopped here without saying anything because she was hungry. The reason why she didn’t buy something to fill her stomach was because she had no money. So she just stood there stupidly. Index didn’t care about her, or she didn’t even notice her existence. She just ordered the food and started eating happily here. Himegami Aisa glanced at her, and then looked at Li Qing.
Because Li Qing was looking at her curiously, she also looked over.
He met Li Qing’s eyes, then suddenly walked towards Li Qing and stretched out his hand to Li Qing: “Give me money.”
Li Qing: “…”
You are so rude.
Index also heard the voice, turned her head and looked over curiously, and saw the outfit of Himegami Aisa, so she asked blankly, “Who are you?”
“I’m a magician.” Himegami Aisa said expressionlessly.
Index immediately screamed, “No way! You don’t have any magic power at all! And your clothes are obviously those of a miko, so it should be Eastern astrology! You are not a magician at all!”
Himegami Aisa looked at her, then nodded: “Then the one you said is fine.”
Index: “…”
She almost choked.
“You!” Index puffed up.
Himegami Aisa didn’t look at her, but turned to look at Li Qing again: “Give me the money.”
Li Qing shook his head speechlessly, but did not refuse: “Buy whatever you want.”
Himegami Aisa was not polite at all and directly asked the power supply to give her that thing. Seeing Index eating so much, she somehow felt a little bit of resistance. Index asked for a lot and she asked for a lot too. So soon after, Himegami Aisa lay on the table next to her and didn’t move. Her eyes were dull and there was no light in them. She was so bloated that she couldn’t speak. Her throat and eyes were swollen, but Index was still eating.
Li Qing couldn’t help but want to laugh. Why did he compete with Index in eating when there were no other options? He deserved to be bloated like a fool.
Seeing that Himegami Aisa was so bloated that she couldn’t move, Index smiled triumphantly and then took another hamburger into her mouth. Seeing her like this, Himegami Aisa’s dull eyes turned around and she then reached for the hamburger in front of her that she hadn’t finished eating. It was obvious that she still wanted to compete with Index, but she suddenly withdrew her hand and covered her mouth with her hand, looking nauseous.
Li Qing quickly said, “If you can’t eat it, don’t eat it. If you spit it out, the owner will kill you.”
And it’s disgusting, so you definitely can’t vomit.
“And if you vomit, I won’t pay.” Li Qing said again.
Himegami Aisa nodded quickly, trying to suppress the feeling. He picked up the drink and gulped down several gulps, finally suppressing the feeling.
Finally, Index had almost finished eating, paid the bill, and the three of them walked out.
“Give me money.” Himegami Aisa stretched out his hand towards Li Qing again.
Li Qing looked at her: “What?”
“We don’t have the money to take the train,” said Himegami Aisa.
Li Qing: “…”
He gave Himegami Aisa a few coins.
Himegami Aisa walked to the nearby tram stop, got on the tram and left.
Li Qing withdrew his gaze and went towards Index’s apartment with Index. After sending Index back, Li Qing also went back.
the next day.
Li Qing came here again, and found that Index was not there again.
But he didn’t care. It was normal that Index was not at home because she was a foodie. If she was not at home, it must be because she went out to eat.
So Li Qing went down to the shopping street to look, but he didn’t find Index.
“Did you go somewhere else?” Li Qing muttered.
Then he left this place and wandered around other places in Academy City. He didn’t look for Index, but just wandered around by himself.
There were still many places in Academy City that he hadn’t visited, so now was a good time to take a look around.
At noon, a phone call suddenly came in. It was from Misaka Mikoto. As soon as the call was connected, Misaka Mikoto’s voice was heard: “Li Qing! Is Index with you? Is she with you now? I can’t contact her!”
“Can’t get in touch?” Li Qing was surprised: “Index is missing?”
“Isn’t it on your side?” Misaka Mikoto asked quickly.
