Chapter 77
When facing the unfathomable "store manager" before, although the former Onmyoji lost his proud Onmyoji, he did not lose his keen perception from years of training. He could feel that the other party's seemingly ordinary body contained a terrible power that could not be described in words.
To test such a big man and still be able to walk out alive, even Tsuchimikado Motoharu himself had to sigh that his luck was really good.
However... Tsuchimikado Motoharu lowered his head and looked at his hands, which seemed to have nothing special, but in the "spiritual vision" he just obtained, he could clearly see the invisible things lingering between his fingers and palms.
Feeling the power in his body that was completely different from the past Onmyoji and superpowers, Tsuchimikado Motoharu knew that he had indeed regained the qualification to use extraordinary power, but at the same time, he fell into the control of others again.
From a double agent to a triple agent... I don't know how long I can live... Sighing like this, the Onmyoji who regained his power was familiar with the Onmyoji technique of another system given by the special existence called "Spiritual Base" in his body, while thinking about the first task issued by his new employer.
"Investigate the alchemist who entered the Academy City, Aureos Isard... huh!" Tsuchimikado Motoharu, who was once a member of the magic side, was not unfamiliar with this name.
That was a person who had caused a stir in the magic side three years ago and almost caused a war between the two major sects.
Originally a secret secretary of the Roman Church, he was an alchemist of the Zurich School. He had the talent to write magic books and had secretly served as a companion of the Forbidden Book Index. In the end, he betrayed his faith and rebelled against the Roman Orthodox Church because he could not save Index.
However, this guy hasn't shown up for three years, and there has been no information about him entering Academy City before - at least the intelligence channels controlled by Tsuchimikado Motoharu personally have not received any news.
So, how did this terrible new boss know? The Yin Yang Master wondered whether this new boss, who exuded a sense of mystery from head to toe, had other intelligence networks, but then he thought that this matter had nothing to do with his pawn, so he should not go into it.
After all, there is a way to die in this world called - you know too much! ... What happened in the store naturally became a secret.
Except for Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Fang Yuan, who were the parties involved, only Aleister could roughly guess what happened here - although the hovering loop could not enter this store, just looking at the changes that happened after Tsuchimikado Motoharu came out, what happened here is self-evident.
As for Tsuchimikado Motoharu, who is a multi-faceted spy, he naturally knows what to say and what not to say, and Fang Yuan is not worried that such a small pawn will bring him any trouble.
"Now, let's see when the alchemist with green hair will arrive at Academy City..." Fang Yuan said so, and the store fell into silence again.
... ... A few days later - "Hey! A-shang! What a coincidence! It seems that you have recovered well! Hey? Who is this girl?" In the hot summer, although he has a part-time job as a multi-faceted spy, Tsuchimikado Motoharu still has time to go out and hang out with his bad friend Blue Hair Earrings. By chance, he met Kamijou Touma and his group who were also out.
Looking at the white-robed nun behind his friend with a hidden look, Tsuchimikado Motoharu greeted Kamijou Touma as usual, and pretended not to know Index at all, without revealing any flaws.
"Ah... It's you..." The hedgehog-headed boy, who looked exhausted with his shoulders drooping, answered in a weak tone.
Well, Tsuchimikado, who had read the information related to the "Index of a Certain Magical Index", knew very well why Kamijou Touma behaved like this. With Akami's unfortunate physique, although he was not actually poor, he had always had limited funds, and the nun he kept by his side was an unscientifically glutton with an appetite... It can be imagined that these two people must have argued about "eating" just now, and the loser was naturally Kamijou Touma, who looked like a salted fish at this moment.
Looking at the two people playing and joking carefreely, Tsuchimikado Motoharu sighed with envy in his heart. If there was a day, he could be like these two people, shopping and playing carefree with his sister Maixia... Ah! I still don't want to think about it! As a spy, and a multi-faceted spy, once you embark on this path, there is no turning back. Instead of thinking about these things that make you weak, you might as well think about how to complete the mission! Thinking of this, Tsuchimikado Motoharu maintained his persona as a bad friend in front of Kamijou Touma, making jokes all the way, and followed Kamijou Touma and Index to the McDonald's to enjoy the air conditioning and drink cold drinks with the blue-haired earrings. Unexpectedly, he saw the key person in the mission in this fast food restaurant! Himegami Aisa, the original stone ability user of [Vampire Killer], is said to have been detained by the Misawajuku branch in Academy City, and is also the target of Oreos, who was specifically investigated by the new boss. I didn't expect to meet him here... Is it a coincidence? No! It's not a coincidence! Looking at Kamijou Touma and Index beside him, Tsuchimikado Motoharu rejected this idea in his heart.
In his contact with Aleister, he vaguely understood how exaggerated the control of the controller of Academy City was over this city. Tsuchimikado Motoharu didn't believe that there was such a thing as "coincidence" in this city.
Especially the things that happened to Kamijou Touma, the "Fantasy Breaker", were almost completely controlled by the big boss who never left the life support device.
Moreover, it is said that Oreos had worked with the Index of Forbidden Books, and the Index of Forbidden Books happened to be next to the "Fantasy Breaker"... It's hard to imagine that this is not a deliberately arranged scene! Is it to involve A-Kami in the affairs of Oreos? But what's so special about this Oreos? Why did Aleister and the new owner notice this person? Or maybe the key is not Oreos, but A-Kami? No, it is also possible that it is related to the Index of Forbidden Books... The guesses flashed through his mind one after another, but he could not think of a logical explanation.
Only then did Tsuchimikado Motoharu realize that knowing too much was not a good thing - not only could he be silenced at any time, but he would also think too much because of it, and everything would be linked to conspiracy theories. This kind of life is really too tiring! ')303'\u003eChapter 302 An Unpleasant Meeting with a Bad Priest
After the weird miko in the fast food restaurant was taken away by the teachers of Misawa Academy, Kamijou Touma also said goodbye to the other two uninvited friends and prepared to return to the dormitory with Index.
Halfway there - "Touma! Hey! Come and see!" Index pointed to a cardboard box on the side of the road and greeted Kamijou Touma excitedly.
Kamijou Touma approached and saw—— "Meow" It turned out to be a cat with mixed fur color abandoned in a cardboard box, and on the box was written "Please adopt it if you are kind-hearted."
"Abandoned cat..." "Hey, Touma, I have a question for you..." "No!" Before Index, who was full of expectation, could finish her words, Kamijou Touma decisively refused.
"...Touma, I haven't said anything yet!" Index was a little surprised to be rejected before she even finished her words.
"No!" Kamijo Touma closed his eyes, turned his head to the side, and refused again in a firm tone.
"HmmWhy? Why can't I keep a sphinx?" Index puffed up her cheeks with an unhappy look, questioning with indignation.
"Pets are not allowed in student dormitories, so the sphinx is also...wait! You even picked a name?!" Kamijo Touma was almost fooled by Index, but fortunately he reacted at the last moment.
"No!!! I want to raise it, I want to raise it, I want to raise it...!!!" Seeing that Kamijou Touma refused to give in, Index decisively used the trick that girls don't need to learn - the "noisy" trick in "cry first, make a fuss second, and then hang yourself", waving her hands, trying to make Kamijou Touma agree no matter what.
"No means no!" Fortunately, Kamijou is not someone who compromises so easily, and firmly rejected the girl's unreasonable trouble.
"Meow" At this moment, the cat may have been annoyed by the noise made by Index, and decisively jumped out of the box and ran away.
Kamijou Touma shook his head and said, "Look, it was scared away!" "It's all Touma's fault!" But Index pushed all the responsibility to Kamijou Touma, with a face full of unhappiness.
"You blame me?" "Japanese shamisen is made of cat skin, right? This country is so cruel to cats!" "If that's the case, doesn't your country also chase foxes?" Because of Kamijou's refusal to keep a cat, Index raised the issue to the level of national morality, and Kamijou Touma decisively refuted it by saying that the British like to hunt foxes - no idea where he, a poor student, got this little knowledge.
"...Fox hunting represents tradition and honor..." Index was about to use a long article to refute Kamijou Touma's fallacy, but suddenly stopped at this moment - "What's going on...there is magic nearby Gathering?" The girl closed her eyes, felt around, and said this: "The attribute is earth, the color is green... Is this spell a rune?" Kamijou Touma definitely listened as he murmured. Not understanding the technical terminology of magic, Index ran forward, leaving Kamijou Touma in shock.
"Hey, Index!" "It seems like someone is setting up a magic circle! Touma, you go back first!" Before Kamijou Touma could stop him, Index ran away as he said this, leaving Kamijou boy in a state of shock for a moment. Jian stayed in place, not knowing what to do.
"Even if you let me go back first..." Kamijou Touma was scratching his head when he suddenly felt something strange, and the surrounding space seemed to become quiet.
"This is..." Right here, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind the young man: "You should know, this is the rune, the rune of [Dispersion of idlers]!" Kamijou Touma immediately turned around and looked There was a figure that he didn't want to see at all.
"Stiyl!" "Long time no see, Kamijou Touma!" The person who came was none other than Stiyl Magnus, the delinquent priest with a barcode tattooed on his face, dyed red hair, and a chain smoker.
When the boy and Index first met, it was this priest who was essentially a pyromaniac who jumped out and took on the role of the villain, successfully bringing together the pair of Kamijou Touma and Index (Dagiri). ).
However, after Kamijou Touma used his right hand to remove the "collar" inside Index, didn't this guy go back to England with the very sultry Kanzaki Kaori-sama? Could it be that he still wants to take Index away? Kamijou Touma became alert. His left hand subconsciously reached into his trouser pocket and grasped something in the pocket.
"Ah, that's right! It's me!" The bad priest, smoking a cigarette, said with a sneer on his face.
"...What do you want to do by deliberately moving Index away?" Although he doesn't think that the guy in front of him is his enemy, the two parties are definitely not friends.
However, after confirming that this guy was behind the scenes, Kamijou Touma was a little less worried about Index, but he still didn't pull out his left hand from his trouser pocket.
Of course, Kamijou Touma didn't want to conflict with the other party. In order to lighten the atmosphere, he deliberately put on a business smile.
But... "Hmph! Don't laugh! Be careful, I'll kill you!" Steele, who took action at any disagreement, directly took out a card with runes printed on it from his arms, attracting a large fire, raging The spray was directed towards Kamijou Touma.
"!" Although he was a little surprised by the neurotic behavior of this bad priest who took action at his request, Kamijou Touma was already experienced in many battles and would not be surprised by such a "small scene".
He didn't even directly use the Fantasy Killer he was accustomed to, but took out his left hand and pointed it in the direction of the flames.
"Huh?" Steele was a little surprised by Kamijou Touma's performance. According to his estimation, the guy who took away Index should have used his right hand that can only erase all powers... No! There is something else on that guy's left hand! Steele saw Kamijou Touma's extended left hand. There was a rough-looking green ring on the middle finger of this hand. Could this be the secret weapon this guy acquired during this period? With this thought in his mind, the next moment, Steele's premonition came true.
A green light was released from the ring, forming a green transparent wall out of thin air in front of Kamijou Touma, easily blocking the flames released by Steele.
"Tsk! Is this your new toy?" Steele asked somewhat unhappily.
"Ah, yes, this is our newly developed superpower simulation tool in Academy City. It can allow a Level 0 like me to use superpowers!" Kamijou Touma said casually, but he said It's not a lie. After all, he got this ring from a certain store manager, and this store manager seems to be a member of Academy City. That's right... "Hmph !” Steele snorted, not wanting to comment on the fact that Academy City, the science side’s stronghold, had grown stronger.
"Okay, I've said 'hello', what do you want from me?" Kamijou Touma asked again.
The bad priest once again put his hand into his arms, and Kamijou Touma subconsciously tensed up his muscles. Could it be that this guy hasn't had enough of beating him yet? Fortunately, Kamijou Touma's premonition did not come true. What he took out from the magician's arms was a large kraft paper envelope.
"Ask me what I want to do... I just want to chat with you about a secret!" Steele said in a relaxed tone with an expression that was completely opposite to the tense atmosphere he had just tried to create.
Kamijou Touma: "...What?"')304'\u003eChapter 303: Tsuchimikado with the oriole behind him
Under Steele's deliberately pretentious operation, documents flew out from the kraft paper envelopes, forming a circle in mid-air and constantly rotating. It seemed to be a display, but in fact Kamijou Touma had nothing to do with it. I couldn't see clearly, so I could only listen patiently to the explanation of this annoying bad priest.
"... In other words, you want to attack Misawa Academy, defeat the alchemist named O, Oreos, and ask me to join your action, and I have no right to refuse?" Kamijou Touma concluded unhappily.
"Ah, that's right! If you dare to refuse, we will take back the management rights of Index, this is our policy!" Stiyl said with a malicious expression: "Let Index stay with you, so that you can become a 'shackle' to prevent Index from betraying.
However, if you don't obey, the 'shackle' will not work."
"... You guys... As expected, you are still disgusting as always!" Kamijou Touma was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the Church of Necessary Evil to use Index as a tool, but the other party was powerful and powerful, and he was alone, so he could only bite his teeth and accept it.
"Hmph! I agree!"... "I'm back" "I'm back" The two voices rang out at the same time, and in the end, Kamijou Touma and Index returned to the dormitory at the same time.
But... "Index, what's wrong with your stomach?" Kamijou Touma looked at the girl's bulging belly, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.
"Ah... This is, I ate too much!" Index touched her belly and said with a smile on her face.
Gurgle Gurgle The bulge on the girl's abdomen suddenly squirmed twice, and then moved to the girl's chest.
"Ah... Index, you seem to have become much plumper!" Kamijou Touma said with a helpless tone.
"Yes, I'm still in the growth period now!" Index, who always has a child-like body, said nonsense casually.
"Meow" A small cat cry suddenly came from the girl's bulging chest, and then the bulging part continued to wriggle, and finally a furry little head emerged from the girl's collar.
Kamijou Touma: "..." Index: "..." "You still brought it back!!!" Kamijou Touma was mad.
... After spending a lot of effort and still unable to get Index to give up the calico cat named "Sphinx", Kamijou Touma finally reluctantly admitted the fact that there would be one more mouth to feed at home.
After fooling Index with the lame excuse of "I forgot to bring the reference book back", Kamijou Touma finally found an opportunity to leave the dormitory and prepare to join the action of the bad priest.
Although he was a little worried about Index's safety, Stiyl had posted runes of "Hunting the Witch King" all around the dormitory and promised that he would definitely protect Index. Kamijou Touma was relieved for the time being and followed the bad priest to the off-campus training institution called Misawa Academy.
... "Is this the place?" Tsuchimikado Motoharu watched Stiyl and Kamijou Touma walk into the Misawa Academy building together, but he did not follow them immediately.
Looking up at the seemingly ordinary building, a fleeting light flashed in the eyes of the Onmyoji, and then the building in his eyes completely changed.
"What a powerful and exquisite barrier! This is equivalent to a man-made alien world!" The "spiritual eye" obtained from the spiritual base in the body that is said to have all the power and knowledge of Abe Haruaki during his lifetime allows Tsuchimikado Motoharu to see through the seemingly ordinary surface world and see the "inside world" on the other side of the surface world that is completely controlled by another will.
"Is this the strength of that Oreos? If it was me before, no, even if it was me at the beginning, I would be helpless in the face of this situation!" The Yin-Yang Master sighed, and then said to himself: "But I am different now!" I saw Tsuchimikado Motoharu casually draw a talisman in the void, and then patted his body, and then a flash of light invisible to the naked eye flashed around him. The next moment, he walked into the building like those ordinary students who entered and exited Misawa Academy.
"Tsk! The binding force is stronger than I imagined!" Tsuchimikado Motoharu paused slightly, but finally walked down firmly.
He could feel that the entire Misawa Academy had been transformed into a small world that was relatively independent of the outside world. Everything inside seemed to be the same as the outside world, but in fact it had special rules.
For example, anyone with a clear "purpose" would be pulled into the inner world like the back of a coin once he entered this building.
"However, the essence of Onmyoji is lies!" Motoharu Tsuchimikado, who possessed all the power and knowledge of the legendary Abe Haruaki, reached the pinnacle of Onmyoji in another way after losing his family's Onmyoji.
And the pinnacle of lies is deceiving the world! Naturally, this small world is also within the scope of deception.
The talisman he had drawn on himself before played such a deceptive effect, making it impossible for the barrier to identify him as an outsider.
In other words, he was not brought into the inner world by the barrier as soon as he came in, like Stiyl and Kamijou Touma, but still stood in the surface world like an ordinary person.
But he can also freely shuttle between the inner and outer worlds at any time according to his own will, and will not be discovered by the owner of the barrier.
"Tsk, the Thirteen Knights of the Roman Orthodox Church? What a tragic death!" Standing next to a pillar in the hall, seemingly in an empty space, Tsuchimikado Motoharu's eyes penetrated the barrier between the inner and outer worlds, and saw the dead body in armor, and sighed.
However, the death of the Roman Orthodox Church had nothing to do with him, an Eastern Yin-Yang master, so he sighed and just continued to wander around the interior of the building like an ordinary student.
It was strange that he was wearing a floral shirt that was completely out of tune with students, sunglasses on his eyes, and a gold chain around his neck. He was dressed like a bad boy, not a good student who would go to a cram school, but surprisingly no one showed any strange reaction to his unsociable dress.
This was also the effect of the Yin-Yang technique he had performed before - not only deceiving this almost self-contained world, but also deceiving people's consciousness. Everyone who saw him would subconsciously treat him as an ordinary student like themselves, and would not feel anything about his abnormal behavior.
Well, even Kamijou Touma and Stiyl who met by chance didn't notice him.
In this way, Tsuchimikado Motoharu approached the core of this huge barrier step by step without anyone noticing.
The third update is here')305'\u003eChapter 304 Who can you blame for buying a product without reading the instruction manual?
"This is the first time I've seen a scientific religion, but it's surprisingly ordinary!" Walking in the inner world of Misawa Academy, Stiyl looked at the ordinary daily scenes projected from the outer world, and sighed casually: "I thought there would be a photo of the leader hanging inside!" "It really doesn't look dangerous..." Arriving at the restaurant of Misawa Academy, Kamijou Touma looked at the students who were having dinner and nodded in agreement.
"Hmm?" At this moment, the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet.
Kamijou Touma then realized that the students who were eating and talking were staring at him at the same time. Those pairs of lifeless eyes stared at him, which made the boy feel uneasy.
"It doesn't look good..." Stiyl also saw the scene in front of him and felt bad.
"..." Kamijou Touma's reaction was a little slow. Although he had experience fighting with countless gangsters, he was just an ordinary Japanese high school student. His understanding of magic was limited to some basic concepts that Index had popularized to him, which were not even common sense. Naturally, he couldn't understand the current situation at once.
"What's wrong with them?" "...Are you still confused? The space in this building has been divided into two sides, just like a coin. People on the surface of the coin can't see us on the back of the coin! But they can see it now, which means..." Without Stiyl's explanation, Kamijou Touma could understand that these students had been brought from the surface of the coin to the back, and they had been discovered by the owner here! However, before he could figure out the next countermeasure, those students with dull eyes, like puppets, began to chant in a special tone and order: "The wings of the blazing sky are shining light--" "The shining light is the pure white that exposes the sin--" "Pure white is the evidence of purification--" "The evidence is the result of the action--" "The result is the future, the future is time--" "Time is uniform, uniform is everything--" "The creation of everything is the past, the past is the cause, the cause is single, the single is sin, the sin is people, people fear sin, fear is sin..." As the chanting became more and more unison, countless white light balls the size of ping-pong balls gradually emerged from the students' foreheads.
"...Sins are in your own heart. If there are taboos in your heart, use the wings of the blazing sky to expose your own sins and eliminate the sins from your body!" As the last sentence of the chant was completed, the light balls that emerged from the students' foreheads finally emerged completely and floated in the air.
Even Kamijou Touma, who doesn't know magic, can feel the dangerous aura emanating from those light balls. Once he is touched, there will be no good results! "... It's up to you, Imagine Breaker!" Stiyl patted Kamijou Touma on the shoulder, said so, and then turned around and ran! "Hey, you guy!" Kamijou Touma didn't expect that this bad priest would sell out his teammates so easily. He was stunned and lost the best opportunity to stop him.
Staring at the magician running at the speed of a 100-meter run, Kamijou Touma had a thousand MMPs to say in his heart.
"..." Kamijou Touma turned his head and looked at the students. He found that the light balls were flying towards him at a speed that was not fast but not slow. The alarm bells in his heart suddenly exploded, and the hairs all over his body stood up! This number... It is impossible to defend against it with the "Imagination Breaker" using only the right hand! Without hesitation, Kamijou Touma immediately raised his left hand, and the Green Lantern Ring on his finger followed his strong will and burst out with intense light.
This light became a solid entity after it appeared. According to Kamijou Touma's imagination, it transformed into a solid and thick green wall, just blocking the door of the restaurant, completely separating him from the light ball that was attacking from the front.
A few seconds later, the fastest light ball finally touched the surface of this energy barrier.
Puff - Like a soap bubble that bursts at the touch, this light ball immediately shattered into tiny light particles after touching the mimic barrier formed by the force field.
It works! It can be prevented! Kamijou Touma secretly clenched his fists. The store manager really didn't lie to him. This ring is really powerful... However, before he could finish being happy, more subsequent light balls had already hit the green force field barrier.
Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff... Hundreds and thousands of light balls hit the force field wall and immediately shattered into countless light particles in the next moment, and the wall composed of the green force field also began to tremble in this continuous collision.
At first, there was only a little vibration that was almost invisible to the naked eye, then there was a wave like ripples on the water, and then the whole wall vibrated and cracked.
The wall constructed by the force field was like a real wall. After enduring too much impact, it reached the limit of defense and cracks appeared.
[What's going on? OA, isn't this wall made of that force field? Why doesn't it seem very strong! ] The young man Kamijou questioned the artificial intelligence in the ring in his consciousness.
[Because you just imagined a physical wall, not an energy force field. According to the operating principle of this system, what is condensed is a mimic substance with durability like an actual object. If it is just for defense, you only need to release the force field directly and condense it into a shield shape.",
