Stray Chapter 54: Go ahead
”Multi-talented? How is this possible?!”
The setting sun outside the window slanted into Academy City, and because she was sitting by the window, the brown hair girl’s hair was also burning with orange light, but compared to this, she was at this moment. He stood up all of a sudden, holding the table with his hands, his eyes widened, which seemed even more noticeable.
“Nothing is impossible, if I hadn’t directly taken away Harusheng Kiyama’s fantasy master network before, you have to see how difficult it is for a multi-talented person…”
The magician was lying on the table, staring lazily at the street with people coming and going outside the window, and said this lazily.
Then he raised his head, looked at the few people present, and shook his head again: “It’s just that for two superpowers, it’s not too much trouble… After all, there are many types of abilities, but If the strength itself is not enough, it is of little significance.”
Superpowers, like all other skills, are expensive and not much more expensive.
There are more bells and whistles, but if they are generally less than LV3 in the form of expression and scale strength, then it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
“No, but a multi-talented person is too unreasonable, isn’t it?” Misaka Mikoto shook her head vigorously, still finding it a little hard to understand, everyone should have only one ability, right? This is the first lesson in Academy City’s textbook!
“The reason why a multi-talented person is impossible is actually mainly because the ability is too burdensome for the brain. One ability is already the limit for ordinary people, and it is impossible to master another… Of course, there is another reason, That is, ability is the presentation form of personal reality, and it is the direct embodiment of ability people’s cognition of the world, so as long as the spirit is not too severe, there is basically only one world view.”
The magician said casually: “However, Mushan Chunsheng is not a person of ability, and the ability she has is obtained through crowdfunding, 10,000 fantasy master users, which means the brain computing power of 10,000 people Different from their respective AIM diffusion force fields, there are all types of abilities… Kiyama Harusheng is equivalent to borrowing their brains and abilities, so it is not surprising to have multiple abilities.”
”Is this… so? Then, then you… forget it, it’s nothing.”
The tea-haired girl pursed her lips, suddenly remembered something not long ago, and glanced at Xia Ran subconsciously.
is when he treated two middle-aged illnesses who claimed to be magicians in a nasty manner that day, and seemed to understate the ability to manipulate electromagnetic fields… If this is not Misaka Mikoto’s illusion, or If she also fell into a hallucination at the time-
Then it means that this person has displayed a second superpower in addition to the mind control type superpower he has mastered.
Multi-talented?
Or is it the same principle as Mr. Kiyama Haruno, who can rely on his powerful mind control type ability to forcibly borrow the brains and AIM diffusion force fields of other nearby abilities? So feel free to show other types of different abilities?
So because he was present at the time, he was able to use that extra ability, and because his own computing power was extremely powerful, so he obviously borrowed his own ability, but he was more accurate than himself, just like a Sharp scalpels in the hands of more skilled surgeons?
In such an instant, Misaka Mikoto felt that she had deduced the “truth” based on the information and clues she had grasped.
However, she glanced at Mai Ye Shenli who was on the side, but she was hesitant to say anything and did not ask for confirmation. After all, this troublesome woman was still there, and Misaka Mikoto subconsciously didn’t want her to know about it—there was no other reason, but she felt that Shirley Mugino might have bad intentions.
is also not possible, the previous things have already explained, she really does not have good intentions.
Anyway, Misaka Mikoto felt that such important information could not be easily leaked to this dangerous crazy woman.
Mai Ye Shiri was also thinking about something and didn’t look up, so she didn’t notice Misaka Mikoto’s strange behavior, otherwise, she would probably suspect something. The client behind the scenes did not tell them anything, and still insisted that they continue to implement various methods to “recycle” the target object.
even increased the agreed commission amount again and again.
seems to be a matter without suspense, as long as they act according to the employer’s request… But it’s not that simple. As the Anbu organization of Academy City, in addition to being strong enough, it also needs to The necessary quality is to know how to judge the situation.
During this period of time, they found that the employer gradually stopped urging them. They also tried to understand, and they quickly understood what happened. In revenge, the other party is hunting.
’s terrifying means made Maiye Shiri and the others wonder who was living in the dark side of Academy City, and even though the other party seemed to be wronged and the culprit was clearly identified, Going straight to their real messengers behind the scenes,
However, how can this kind of thing be reassuring… After weighing the pros and cons, Mai Ye Shenli finally decided to come to this person for a showdown, which is why she and Flanda came here today.
But the annoying thing is that not only is the target person very troublesome, it feels like another species is difficult to communicate with, but there are people who choose to run over on this day and stick a bar… Yes, that’s what I’m talking about Third, thinking of this, she raised her head and glanced at Misaka Mikoto.
What the **** is going on with this person, why is he still reluctant to leave after finishing his work, so that he wants to say something, and it has been delayed until now!
The tea-haired girl was talking to Saten Leiko, and she was very keenly aware of Mai Ye’s gaze, and when she raised her head, she just met the latter’s irritable eyes, and immediately raised her vigilance subconsciously. Crazy woman really has bad intentions!
I felt right before!
But she didn’t say anything, she continued to turn her head to look at her friend, and continued the topic just now: “Tears, don’t be impulsive, fantasizing about the hand is really not a good thing, although those People are awake now, but that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable…”
“I-I understand, Misaka-senpai.” The girl with long black straight hair nodded repeatedly and kept responding, looking very well-behaved.
But she was lamenting in her heart. She was so impulsive just now that she actually expressed her thoughts in front of Misaka-senpai… So far, Misaka-senpai is very vigilant about this matter, and has been They are teaching themselves.
Of course, Saten Leiko also understood that this was Misaka Mikoto’s kindness, but she didn’t show any impatience.
”Speaking of which, it’s already this point, don’t you plan to go back?”
At this time, the magician lying on the table seemed to remember something, looked up at several people and asked.
“…”
“…”
Sudden silence.
“No need, it’s not too late, and we don’t live on campus and have access control hours or something…” Mai Ye Shenli spoke first to break the silence, she pretended to be calm and fluttered a long flowing hair, chuckling speak out.
Misaka Mikoto squinted her eyes slightly, and sensed what the other party meant: “It’s still summer vacation, and it’s not when I was in school before, it doesn’t make any difference whether I live on campus or not…” In fact, there is still access control, but she can’t weaken her momentum at this time.
”That’s why it wasn’t dispelled…”
Xia Ran looked at the two thoughtfully.
The magic that idlers disperse is essentially a ritual to avoid letting irrelevant people step into the battlefield. Pay attention to irrelevant people, that is to say, “idler” refers to things that have no direct or indirect relationship with what happens next. associated person.
And these people have their own ideas. For example, Mai Ye Shiri and Flanda just want to have a good talk with them. If they don’t leave, they will naturally not leave here subconsciously. And Misaka Mikoto probably suspected that they had ulterior motives, so she also carried on it with Mai Ye Shiri.
As for Satian Leiko, it is because of the fact that he proposed “new access to the network has a discount” not long ago, or he is still holding some kind of hope, and I don’t know if this girl has a big heart or something… um, too much Simple, easy to trust others.
Anyway, that’s what happened. As a result, these people were not treated as idlers, but were dispelled by the power of magic.
”What dispel?”
Misaka Mikoto froze for a moment.
“It’s strange, there seems to be no one outside, isn’t it too quiet…” At this moment, Satian Leiko seemed to have found something. She looked out the window in a daze, not knowing where From then on, the street outside became very quiet.
is empty and lonely, and the scene of people coming and going before, but now I can’t even see a single person.
”Really, what’s going on… Hey, wait, there’s still one person!”
The girl with brown hair frowned, and then she saw a figure from outside the window, so she felt relieved, but in the next moment, she immediately found that the only figure was very familiar, so familiar It was as if he had been sitting across from him a few seconds ago.
She turned around immediately to confirm that someone was indeed no longer in her seat.
…
…
”Run! Index, don’t stop…”
The spiky-haired boy was holding the silver-haired nun’s hand, panting, but he didn’t dare to stop, and just ran like a lifeless death on the empty street.
He already knew this was the result, he knew it for a long time.
What she said was true! The special role of the magician really exists! Now they are already chasing them!
In all fairness, Kamijou Touma is actually unwilling to believe in magic, but he still takes in Index, who has nowhere to go, because his power can kill anything The dropped hand directly shattered the Taoist uniform on the opponent’s body, which is a piece of evidence.
If there is no boarding power on that piece of clothing, theoretically it won’t have any effect.
As for the second one, it was due to his bad luck. He knew it a long time ago. He didn’t believe in what would happen, and if he didn’t want to do something that he didn’t want to happen, it would definitely happen… This It is an inevitable law!
”Dang Ma, you… leave me alone, run away!”
Index, who was dragged all the way to run wildly, breathed with difficulty, and said such words.
She has been very troublesome for the spiky-headed boy for a while now, and now she really doesn’t want to drag him down any more. If there must be a personal sacrifice, let her do it herself.
“What a joke, don’t stop…” Kamijou Touma roared angrily without turning his head, he never thought about it, he would never leave a powerless girl and let her Facing such a terrible thing alone.
is just…
Although he released such rhetoric, but as he ran to the present, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and his lungs seemed to be on fire. See any hope of escape.
The other party blocked all the roads, and the surrounding atmosphere obviously became an abnormal isolation from the world.
No matter how he and Index escaped, that woman could always block their way before they escaped. In the end, Kamijou Touma felt like the two of them were the prey in the hunter’s encirclement. Gradually face the final fate in a shrinking circle.
can’t escape, can’t resist.
there is no way to ask for help, just like right now, the whole street is empty, and there is not even a single person, as if the world is governed by completely different rules, such a wonderful atmosphere, like a cold tentacle continue to spread outward.
The spiky-haired boy was confused and uneasy at first, then fear and anger, and now, basically, there is only a sense of loneliness full of despair, and his heart gradually freezes, as if he had been stolen in a country with no language Same as wallet.
There were footsteps abruptly in front of him, and a figure appeared on the street that seemed to have become another “different world”.
“…!!”
Kamijou Touma’s pupils shrank suddenly, is he here again? Can you still run away this time?
Wait, this person…isn’t this person the one who came to ask him for directions on the night of summer vacation?
”Wait! It’s you!”
In the next second, the spiky-haired boy remembered the memory of the other party, and completed the inference in an instant: “So, so you are also a magician! Did you also come to hurt Index? Damn! Why do this!”
everything makes sense.
This person came to Academy City the day before the summer vacation, and was still asking himself for directions, and then the next day, he met Index, who was being chased and killed. Relationship, doesn’t this just prove that the other party is here for Index?
The same long hair, the same unusual temperament, the common sense that Kamijou Touma believed in the past no longer applies… This is obviously a magician!
“Ah, it’s you!” Index also recognized this friend she knew at a glance, and at the same time she exclaimed, her heart was also uncertain, and she had the same suspicion as a spiky-haired boy.
”Well, it’s me, go to them, don’t come over…”
Xia Ran nodded and pointed directly.
In the dessert shop over there, Misaka Mikoto and others are running out. The existence of two superpowers is definitely an extremely powerful shield of protection, at least for this time period, it is completely enough.
“Huh?” Kamijou Touma, who had just clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind, looked blank. Wasn’t this person here to embarrass him?
“Oh, oh, oh!” The little nun felt relieved at once, and in turn pulled the spiky-headed boy and ran in the direction pointed by the magician.
Kamijou Touma tensed as he passed the magician, but nothing happened. Looking at the tea-haired girl and others running towards him in front of him, his mind was even more confused. Why is Bilibili here?
“Meet again, Kanzaki, it seems you have made up your mind?”
The magician tilted his head, looked at the figure slowly walking out of the alley opposite, and said hello.
“That’s right… Are you trying to stop us?” The girl “Saint” who came out of the alley glanced at the direction Index and the two ran away, and said softly with a tired expression.
”…You may have misunderstood the meaning of what I said just now. When I said that you have made up your mind, I mean that you have listened to what I said before and are planning to take a gamble?” Xia Ran frowned. , “What do you think I said?”
“You… what nonsense are you talking about!” Kanzaki Kaori almost couldn’t hold back his expression trembling.
“Am I really talking nonsense? If you didn’t plan to give them a chance, how could you keep catching up with two people with only ordinary physical abilities, and how could Index just come to me? “The magician stared at her half-smile.
The seed of doubt has been planted before, and then it takes root and grows.
Obviously he has stopped directly blocking, but the two magicians did not act until today. In addition to the reason why the ceremony must be performed until midnight today, it must also be during this period of time. Doubt, self-denial, reflection or verification.
Maybe they even consulted the city’s brain science experts, and they can’t say for sure. Anyway, they finally found that there were too many doubts in the church’s statement. With the hints they gave earlier, there would be something like this. The result is also normal.
“…”
“…”
Silence, quiet.
Kanzaki Kaori bit her lower lip tightly, but did not admit it, but slowly reached out to hold the hilt at her waist. There were no tears in her eyes, and it seemed that she could not even express her feelings:
”It’s useless to talk too much. If you don’t want us to carry out the plan to erase our memory, then let’s do it…”
”Okay, that’s what you want.”
Xia Ran narrowed her eyes slightly and slowly raised the digital camera in her hand.
“…”
“…”
The icy atmosphere was destroyed in an instant.
“You…you! Soul Dan! I didn’t say that!” The girl “Saint” suddenly became furious, her delicate body was trembling slightly, can this hateful guy have a little respect for the opponent’s attitude! This is not what she wants!
