Chapter 60

"It wasn't easy." Bai Jingyue looked at the unconscious Accelerator and sighed. This time, Bai Jingyue first sealed the area, then lured Accelerator to cause a dust explosion, depleting the already limited air, and used this to make Accelerator realize the existence of oxygen, or rather, air. As Accelerator continued to be enraged and helpless against Bai Jingyue, he naturally thought of plasma. This made the air even thinner and consumed a large amount of Accelerator's computational power.

ESP abilities have their limits, even for Accelerator. When Accelerator threw out the plasma, his computational power would also fall into a low point. At this moment, Bai Jingyue's backup plan was activated.

During the previous battle, Bai Jingyue had set up a large number of tiny ice crystals in the air. To avoid arousing Accelerator's suspicion, he deliberately formed them into an attack for Accelerator to break himself. There were two ways for Bai Jingyue's ice crystals to dissipate: one was for the molecules to break apart and revert to water molecules in the atmosphere; the other was to transform into pure cold.

When Bai Jingyue's feigned attack was reflected and lured Accelerator to attack, it further reduced Accelerator's computational power, which was already difficult to maintain in the oxygen-depleted state. This forced Accelerator to choose between attacking or defending. Bai Jingyue's disabled right hand finally made Accelerator stop reflecting and choose to attack. In that instant, the battle was decided.

There was one more point: Could Bai Jingyue freeze a person's body? If so, defeating Accelerator would be much easier. However, after Bai Jingyue had this idea and experimented with the city's death row inmates, he found that unless there was direct contact, he couldn't even sense the water inside the human body, let alone freeze it. In other words, he couldn't directly freeze the water inside the human body, let alone the entire body. As for the reason, Bai Jingyue was also unclear, perhaps the human body had secrets he didn't know.

Because of this, unable to kill Accelerator, Bai Jingyue had to use such a complicated method to defeat him. Fortunately, Accelerator had been "invincible" for too long and lacked basic combat skills: he didn't pay attention to the battle environment, was easily provoked by Bai Jingyue, was lured into causing a dust explosion, and was further lured into using a large amount of computational power to control the wind. In the end, he was hit by Bai Jingyue in a state of oxygen deprivation, cold, and computational power depletion, failing in this battle.

Looking at the unconscious Accelerator, Bai Jingyue had to carry him to the hospital of "Medusa." After all, Accelerator couldn't die; otherwise, Bai Jingyue would have just pulled out Frost Sorrow and slashed him.

At "Medusa's" hospital, Bai Jingyue was receiving treatment.

"Getting such injuries and still not dying, are you really human?" After examining Bai Jingyue's wounds, "Medusa" found that the twisted right hand was nothing compared to the various explosions all over his body. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died on the spot.

"Don't worry about the details. Can my right hand be treated?"

"Medusa" sighed, looking at the reticent Bai Jingyue. "Who do you think I am?"

Soon, Saten Ruiko and Shirai Kuroko also received the news that the experiment was over and rushed over. They thought Bai Jingyue would have at most some trouble dealing with Accelerator, but after asking "Medusa," they realized how dangerous it was.

Seeing the worried faces of the two, Bai Jingyue had to comfort them: "I'm fine, don't worry."

In the end, the two calmed down.

"So, is the experiment over?" Saten Ruiko's voice trembled. She never thought that helping her friend Misaka Mikoto would be so dangerous. If she had known earlier, she might have thought of a way with everyone, rather than leaving it to Bai Jingyue alone.

"The experiment is over. I defeated Accelerator, and his so-called strongest is no longer valid. The rest will be handled by him."

"Is... is it... him?" Shirai Kuroko asked.

"Yes, it's him." Bai Jingyue was not surprised that Shirai Kuroko could guess, after all, she was a Level 5 Telepath.

Shirai Kuroko was stunned. The darkness behind this experiment was too deep, making her shudder. She had never thought there were such people in the world, manipulating everything in the dark.

"However, after this, your matter, Kuroko, might have to be postponed for a while."

Shirai Kuroko calmed herself. "It's okay, Yue. You rest and recover first, we'll deal with this matter later."

Indeed, this matter was not over. The arrangements for all the other Misaka sisters and the possible retaliation from the beneficiaries still needed to be handled. Even as a Heroic Spirit, Bai Jingyue's injuries were not severe, but they could not be ignored.

"I will help too, Yue. You rest well." In the end, Saten Ruiko also joined Protect. She could not bear the thought of her lover and friend risking their lives to protect her while she remained ignorant. Moreover, her approaching Level 5 power gave her some confidence.

Under Aleister's high pressure, the Absolute Ability Plan was terminated, and all the Misaka sisters were sent to various parts of the world for adjustment. Bai Jingyue knew this was the foundation for Aleister's artificial heaven, but he was powerless now.

Only five Misaka sisters remained in the city, with Misaka Natsumi temporarily staying at the Protect base, responsible for cleaning with Himegami Aisa.

Now, the number of people in the secret organization Protect was gradually increasing:

Bai Jingyue was the head of the secret organization, responsible for accepting tasks and making decisions during the task process.

Kurotokage was the combat personnel, handling tasks that did not require Bai Jingyue's direct involvement and were not too dark.

Shirai Kuroko was the intelligence officer, responsible for the city's underground dynamics and negotiations with other secret organizations. Although Protect had not yet dealt with other secret organizations, there would be a day.

Kazakiri Hyouka was the researcher, handling professional knowledge about abilities and technology, though such situations were rare.

Saten Ruiko was the defense personnel, responsible for the security of the secret organization's base. Now, everyone had moved here, and they only needed to clean the house regularly and deceive visitors.

As for Misaka Natsumi and Himegami Aisa, they were responsible for daily chores.

At this moment, Aleister, seeing Bai Jingyue's ties to the city deepening, smiled.
