Chapter 207
"Looks like I need to get in touch with him and have a look!" On the other side, a certain superhero girl (thought she thought) didn't know that her little secret had been known to the big boss behind the city.
However, even if she found out, she probably wouldn't have any reaction.
After all, as early as the very beginning, a certain "master" who had never really shown up had told her that the city was dotted with tens of millions of invisible nano-level intelligence collection agencies - air loops. Monitoring every corner of Academy City.
Any abnormality will be brought into the sight of Academy City Chairman Aleister immediately.
Although ordinary students are not even experimental animals to Aleister, they are at best the basic material for building an environment full of capable people. The original Saten Ruiko has no future. Level 0, unless she takes the initiative to die and gets involved in some big event, the peeping tom (Fang Yuanyu) who hangs upside down in the windowless building all year round will not even look at her.
But when she, a Level 0, possessed a very powerful "superpower" that was completely different from the results of the literacy test in a short period of time, it was impossible not to attract Aleister's attention.
Even if the girl deliberately maintains a super speed every time she "acts chivalrously" or "fights evil" and moves at a speed that cannot be captured by a high-definition camera, it is still impossible to truly evade Ya Leicester placed numerous "eyes and ears" in Academy City.
Especially since she used the power of "SHAZAM" in broad daylight this time, I believe her situation has definitely fallen into Aleister's eyes.
A subtle light flashed in the girl's eyes. The wisdom from Solomon allowed her thinking ability to be upgraded from an ordinary level to the level of a peerless genius. All kinds of possible tentative actions against her and the corresponding responses The plan flashed through my mind.
But... put these things aside for now, let her enjoy shopping with her friends! ')272'\u003eChapter 271 The famous detective Ruizi with future vision
Seventh Mist (Seventh Mist) is a comprehensive clothing mall that is very popular among students in Academy City.
Tokiwadai's Dengeki Princess, the patron saint of the library, and the midnight ghost avenger, three girls who are famous (in every sense of the word) in Academy City are here to go shopping together.
"Come and take a look, this pajama is so cute!" Misaka Mikoto, who has a very youthful aesthetic preference, couldn't walk after seeing a very childish and cute pink pajamas. She pointed at the pajamas and greeted them with joy. A companion came over to take a look.
"Uiharu, look! No one wears childish styles like this anymore!" Saten Ruiko, a cheerful and straightforward person, said this straight from the heart, which immediately made the princess of Tokiwadai freeze, with a look on her face. The cheerful expression gradually disappeared, and he could only maintain a polite smile with a stiff expression... "Although I still wore this style when I was a primary school student, it is indeed a bit..." Wearing a wreath on the head, it seems that "it can walk" The girl with the "vase" came over, looked at the children's pajamas, and unintentionally stabbed Misaka Mikoto in her heart again.
"That's right... you're right! You're already a middle school student, how can you wear this! Well! It's impossible!" Misaka Mikoto, who was showing off her tsundere attribute, held her chin in one hand, closing her eyes and nodding her head with a smile on her face. said sternly.
Saten \u0026 Uiharu: "..." "Ah, let me go check out the swimsuits!" "Uh, there are swimsuits over there..." The two considerate girls saw Misaka Mikoto's embarrassment, and they understood each other very well. Changing the subject, let's leave some space for the princess of Tokiwadai... The two of them walked further and further away, and Misaka Mikoto opened her eyes - "Well, my pajamas are not for others to see anyway, I am at home." Just wear it...' Thinking like this, Miss Railgun, the third ranked Level 5 in Academy City, picked up the children's pajamas on the counter with lightning speed, and flew to change clothes like the wind. In front of the mirror, she was about to admire the effect of wearing it on her body, but suddenly she heard a voice coming from behind her that made her grit her teeth just thinking about it.
"What are you doing here! Bilibili!" "Hey!!!" Turning around, he saw that it was the boy with the spiky head who had taken over his own railgun! Misaka Mikoto: "..." Was... seen? Is today her disaster day? ! ... Not to mention the small theater where the two male and female protagonists met again, on this side, Saiko, who was chatting and walking with Uiharu Kouri, just passed by a boy holding a frog doll. , suddenly her expression paused, and her consciousness fell into a trance.
The collapsed frog puppet, the explosion, the blood, the little girl lying on the ground, the seriously injured Uiharu Shiori... Scenes of illusions flashed through her eyes like illusions.
Is this...future vision? When Saten Ruiko came back to her senses, she immediately knew what had just happened to her.
It was a power her teachers told her about, but she never actually used.
The wisdom from Solomon has greatly strengthened her subconscious thinking ability. In conjunction with all the information she sees, hears, smells, and comes into contact with, she can actively or passively activate extremely short-term future vision, predicting from a few minutes to A future that is highly likely to happen within days.
And just now, after she saw this boy and the frog puppet in his hand, her future vision ability actually activated on its own! Thinking of the "Void Explosion" incident that Uiharu had been investigating for some time, Saten Ruiko immediately understood in her heart——There is something wrong with this boy! She suddenly turned around and looked at the boy who hadn't gone far yet.
The power of Zeus's thunder suddenly activated, and silently, the ordinary girl was closely connected with the ubiquitous electromagnetic field on the earth.
With the help of the ubiquitous electromagnetic field, Saten Ruiko seemed to have clairvoyant eyes, observing everything within thousands of meters around her with another sense that transcended the five senses.
Focusing this "electromagnetic field of vision" on the boy in front of her, the girl instantly saw that inside the frog doll he was holding, there was indeed another mystery - there was an aluminum spoon hidden inside! And not only that, the bag on the boy's shoulder was filled with a whole bag of various aluminum products.
Sure enough, this guy is not normal! Who would fill their bag with a whole bag of useless aluminum products when they go shopping? There is no junk collector in Academy City! Moreover, there is a spoon hidden in the stuffed doll, which is even more strange. There is definitely something wrong! ——Because she is not a disciplinary committee member or a security officer, Saten Ruiko does not know the specific details of the void explosion case, but with her recent future vision, coupled with the anomalies she discovered using electromagnetic vision, she is almost certain , the guy in front of me is the criminal in the "Void Explosion" case! "Saten-kun, what's wrong?" Uiharu, who was walking in front, noticed something strange about Ruizi and asked with some confusion.
"No, it's nothing!" Saten Ruiko came to her senses, and while distractedly paying attention to the suspect's movements through her wide-field electromagnetic induction ability, she and Uiharu continued to browse the store as if nothing had happened.
On the one hand, she doesn't have any evidence now. After all, there is no rule that says no one is allowed to go out with a bag full of aluminum products. Hiding aluminum products in dolls can also be said to be a personal hobby. Before the other party actually commits a crime, , no one can say there is anything wrong with him.
On the other hand, Ruiko couldn't explain to Uiharu and the others why she could detect this guy's anomaly. After all, she had future vision and electromagnetic induction abilities, but it had nothing to do with her Level 0 status.
Although Ruizi felt very guilty for hiding the fact that she had obtained another kind of extraordinary power from her good friend, but because this matter also involved her master, she had not thought about how to tell her. friends explained.
Anyway, after she enters the state of super speed, she can reach any place in this mall in an instant. Even if the suspect really commits a crime, she can arrive at the scene and stop him before the explosion occurs.
... A few minutes later, sure enough, there was a call from Shirai-san. Academy City's observation satellite detected signs of graviton acceleration. The location is right here, in Seventh Mist! And in Saten Ruiko's wide-area electromagnetic induction field of vision that never slackened, she also saw the boy's actions. It was indeed extremely despicable! ——You actually gave that bomb doll to a child and asked her to give it to the disciplinary committee? ! Saten Ruizi's face was as dark as water. While continuing to monitor the guy's position with electromagnetic power, he entered a state of divine speed.
In a world where time seemed to have stopped, the girl walked at a speed that seemed ordinary but was actually as fast as a real thunderbolt. She walked quietly to the disciplinary committee member with an innocent expression on her face. next to the little girl.
She carefully took the frog doll from the little girl's hands, held it tightly with both hands, and compressed it with her huge force comparable to a 10,000-ton hydraulic press. In the blink of an eye, the entire doll and the aluminum "bomb" inside were compressed into A small group, then walked to the open window, faced the sky outside the window, and threw the "bomb" in his hand upwards.
After letting go, this small ball was thrown upward at a seemingly ordinary but actually extremely fast speed.
I calculated the speed of throwing it out in my mind, and came to the conclusion that if this thing does not explode and is not burned clean by atmospheric friction, it will fly directly into the orbit of the earth and will no longer threaten people on the ground. Tears Zi then nodded with satisfaction and turned back to the starting position.
The next moment, time resumes its flow——')273'\u003eChapter 272: Poor and weak!
Bang——! A harsh blast of air sounded, and a hot orange-red trail appeared in the sky outside Seventh Mist. It extended from the second-floor window to an altitude of hundreds or thousands of meters. It lasted for several seconds. dissipate.
Then, and then nothing happens.
——The hypersonic throw of a humanoid rocket launcher girl directly caused the small lump of fiber, plastic, and aluminum to be burned up in the high-speed friction with the atmosphere.
The combustible organic fibers are directly burned into carbon dioxide and water, and the aluminum at the core is directly melted into a liquid metal jet at high temperatures, and eventually burns into countless aluminum oxide particles invisible to the naked eye in the atmosphere, which gradually disperse in the wind. .
Therefore, the graviton acceleration based on aluminum materials cannot be truly activated when the material basis for the activation of the ability has been destroyed.
"Huh?" In the mall, the little girl who was running with a frog doll looked at her empty hands blankly.
Where is the frog? Such a big frog? How could it suddenly disappear in just a blink of an eye? The young girl found it difficult to understand what was going on for a while, but she had lived in the Academy City for a while after all, and immediately came to her senses. This must be some kind of magical superpower! Is it a big brother or sister who is joking with her or playing a prank? The little girl, who is just an elementary school student, looked around everywhere, hoping to find something, but in the end she found nothing. She could only turn around with a frustrated expression, ready to find the big brother just now and tell him that the doll was accidentally lost.
… "Damn it! What happened? Did someone with the ability intervene?" Outside the mall, a man with glasses wearing headphones was looking at the orange-red track that had dissipated in the sky with gnashing teeth.
He was not an idiot, and would not think that this track was just a firework released by a high-ranking person with the ability when he was bored. In addition, the expected explosion had not come yet, so he immediately knew that his plan had failed! Even the red beam that just shot straight into the sky was most likely the means by which the unknown powerful person with the ability disposed of his bomb.
The man with glasses had a gloomy face and lowered his head, turning all the way into the alley behind the mall.
Only when he got here did he take off his calm disguise, revealing a hideous and resentful expression, and punched the wall beside him fiercely.
"Damn the person with the ability, damn the discipline committee member... You didn't show up when I was bullied, why are you here to hinder me now!" The man with glasses hammered the wall twice again, and finally calmed down a little after a long time.
"Well, one failure doesn't matter. Anyway, I have plenty of materials and time, and there are discipline committee members everywhere as my target... As long as I have this 'illusion...'" "What is it?" The sudden voice behind him scared the man with glasses. He turned his head stiffly and looked behind him. He found a little girl who looked weak and fragile, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He scratched his hair and said with a hypocritical expression that he had developed from being bullied for a long time: "No, nothing, little sister, are you lost? Or do you want to ask me for help?" "Ha——" Saten Ruiko sighed helplessly, sighing in her heart, this guy is really a standard villain minion setting that can't be more standard. With such an unnatural expression and such a stiff tone, anyone can know that there is a problem! "No need to pretend, no need to quibble, you are the culprit of the 'Void Explosion'! I saw everything you did in Seventh Mist just now!" The girl pointed at the man with glasses with a look of "you are the culprit" and said firmly.
"You, what are you talking about, little sister! What void explosion, I don't know anything about it..." The man with glasses had cold sweat on his forehead, but he still refused to admit it. Instead, he stepped back and reached into his bag and grabbed something.
"Heh! Do you still want to struggle to death?" Lei Zi closed her eyes and shook her head with a disappointed expression on her face.
"Go to hell!" At this moment, the man with glasses, who thought he had found the flaw, threw the thing in his hand, drew an arc in the air, and fell towards the girl.
It was an empty can that is very common on the market. I don't know if the man with glasses drank it himself or picked it up from somewhere else.
But none of this matters. What matters is that when the can was thrown at Lei Zi, the ability of the man with glasses had already been activated.
The can, which was moving in a parabola in the air, suddenly seemed to be flattened by someone, shrinking and collapsing, and visible space distortion appeared on it, and an extreme sense of danger was revealed from the dark origin in the center.
The man with glasses who threw the bomb turned around and ran without looking back - not only was he afraid that he would also be extremely affected by the power of the explosion, but on the other hand, he simply did not have the courage to see another victim being injured or even killed by the explosion.
In the final analysis, he was just a coward who did not even dare to take revenge. He was bullied because of his low ability. After gaining stronger abilities, he did not think about taking revenge on those who bullied him before. Instead, he was angry at the discipline committee members and high-level ability users who did not help him in time in the past, and would only carry out terrorist attacks like a mouse.
He did not have the courage to face the dripping blood like a warrior, even if the blood was from the victims he caused himself.
Bang - A muffled sound different from previous explosions came from behind, but the man with glasses no longer had the mind to think about anything, just kept running with his head down.
However, an unexpected voice came from the direction he was running - "Tsk! Is it just this extent?" The man with glasses raised his head in astonishment and found in horror that the girl who should have been behind him and was caught in the explosion was now standing in front of him without any injury.
Did the can just be thrown crookedly? No! The man with glasses immediately put this thought behind him, because he saw the girl's white and tender hands clapping against each other, shaking off some black ash on her palms.
The man with glasses turned his head and looked behind him, and found that there was no trace of the place where the explosion was expected to occur. Then he turned his head and saw the girl's hands, and he seemed to understand something.
——Could it be that this little girl caught his bomb with both hands, and also limited the full power of the explosion to the palms of both hands? ! ! "Strange...monster!" The man with glasses, who had lost all his courage, trembled with his legs, and even forgot to run away. He could only watch the girl in front of him, who seemed cute but was actually extremely scary, approach step by step, and then put one hand on his forehead.
The next moment, a severe tingling and numbness swept over his whole body.
"Tsk, poor and weak!" This was the last sentence the man with glasses heard before he lost consciousness.
')274'\u003eChapter 273 Experiment... The Role of Disciples
"This world is really strange!" On the busy streets, a figure invisible to mortals walked by like a ghost.
Although he seemed to be walking on an ordinary road, what he saw in his eyes was an abnormal world completely different from what ordinary people saw.
Layer after layer of space covered the surface of the world, like layers of translucent curtains, making the world that should have been clearly presented in his eyes look completely different.
He could see pedestrians walking on the street, but in the blink of an eye he could see demon-like existences, piercing through the bodies of pedestrians like phantoms, but it seemed that they did not affect the things they penetrated.
He could see the tall modern buildings in the city, towering above the earth like a steel forest, but in the next moment, the scene in his eyes turned into a hell like an abyss of fire. On the inverted iron tree branches, countless ghost-like figures were pierced, the number was extremely large, layer upon layer, and from a distance it looked like a black ant colony, which was terrifying.
When he walked by a church, he could also see the holy mountain full of holy light through the cross standing on the top of the church. Countless so-called "angels" who could not see human form and were completely different from the descriptions in the Bible were praying to a rainbow on the top of the stepped holy mountain. The hymns and holy light were forever.
"So this is what the so-called phase is!" He retracted his infinitely extended soul tentacles and lowered his perspective from the height of seeing the infinite world at a glance back to the level of mortals. The infinitely changing strange world in his vision finally faded, and he "returned" to the ordinary material world again.
However, this world is already like this, so it can't be said to be ordinary... Fang Yuan thought so, and recovered from the ghostly spiritual state to the physical body, and suddenly appeared in the crowd, but under the influence of some invisible force, no one felt abnormal about the figure that appeared out of thin air.
He didn't know which of the scenes he had just seen were real and which were illusions that had been distorted by many forces, but he did understand now what kind of relationship the so-called "heaven", "hell", "god world" and other different worlds had with the real material world.
A world that "overlaps with reality but is irrelevant" is the essence of the so-called phase.
It is somewhat similar to a parallel world, but it is fundamentally different. Fang Yuan is very interested in the special structure of this world and the truth and law behind this special structure.
… It has been several months since Fang Yuan was thrown into this world by the main body. In addition to accepting a real...disciple in the form of a "portable grandfather" in the Academy City, he has also roughly figured out the real situation of this world.
It is similar to the situation described in the anime novels of the main world. In addition to the superficial national regime, the main forces of this world are the magic side represented by the Crusade, which is divided into multiple sects, and the science side led by the Academy City. They are basically the real two poles of this world.
Of course, this is without counting those unspecified demons.
Even Fang Yuan now would avoid the existence of a bug that can reset the world with a single thought.
After all, he knew from the original light novel that the demons "sealed" in other phases had explored the entire universe countless times, and every one of them had been driven to mental abnormality by boredom.
If they knew that there was a visitor from a different world from all the phases of this world, who knows what they would do to Fang Yuan! Although Fang Yuan still had a trump card to summon the boss, he was not sure whether he would have a chance to complete the summoning ritual in the face of the super bug that could tamper with the entire universe with a single thought.
Fortunately, it was not known whether the demons had not discovered him, or whether they had discovered him but were concerned about something, so Fang Yuan was still safe so far.
However, in Fang Yuan's heart, in addition to those demons, there was another existence that made him more alert.
Yes, that's right, it was Aleister who was hanging upside down in the life support device.
This master uses the Demon God as his imaginary enemy. He is a super conspirator who has been planning from decades ago to the present. He himself is a super strong man who can compete with the Demon God head-on.
Fang Yuan can be sure that his existence has been known to the other party for a long time. After all, although he has maintained his spiritual state when operating in Academy City, it is obviously impossible to hide this from the greatest magician of the 20th century. Aleister.
"However, it is obvious that Aleister has not completed his plan yet. It can even be said that he has just completed the initial preparations. Angel Aiwass has not really arrived yet. Maybe..." Fang Yuan looked behind him, It seemed that through the barriers of countless mountains and seas, one could see the academy city built on the island, the windowless building, and the figure suspended upside down.
After thinking about it, Fang Yuan finally shook his head and waited for a while before talking! Anyway, he has his lovely "disciple" in Academy City. At any time, he can use her to intervene in the situation there. It's better for him not to get involved in danger himself - even if one of them dies, it won't be a pity. The clone also has a desire to survive! "..."Saten-san, where have you been!" At the same time, Uiharu Shiori, who had just completed the emergency evacuation, finally found Saten Ruiko, who had disappeared at some point, and complained with some dissatisfaction.
It's so ignorant to run around in such a dangerous time! "Sorry, sorry, I just accidentally got separated.
But in the end it was okay, please forgive me! How about I lift up my skirt and show you? " Saten Ruiko, who looked very cute, said something that was not cute at all. She even pretended to lift up her skirt. Uiharu couldn't help but panic and stopped her. She accidentally "disappeared" just now. The cute guy passed the test.
Suddenly, Uiharu's cell phone rang - "Shirai-san, it's me, how's the situation?...What?...Hi, hi! I know!" After ending the communication, Uiharu put down the phone and turned around He came and said with a complicated expression: "The alarm has been lifted. The bomb in the mall was disposed of by a high-level ability user. The perpetrators of the void explosion were also sent to the security guards. Our mission is over. "Eh? What's going on?" Misaka Mikoto next to her screamed in shock - she had thought about catching the bomber at the scene, but not only did nothing happen, but the criminal was also caught? "I don't know. The criminal was already in a deep coma when he was sent to the security office. There were traces of electric shock on his body. If it weren't for the sign saying 'This is the bomber' hanging on his body, the guards would have thought he was an esper. What about the victims of the attack.
But later I found a lot of aluminum products in that guy's bag. After investigating the information in the library, I also found that his ability is consistent with the method of committing the crime of 'Void Explosion', except for some differences in ability levels... But what the hell? We still have to wait until he wakes up to find out what happened, which will probably take a day! " Uiharu Shili spoke a long paragraph in one breath, and roughly explained the situation there to the two companions.
Well, while she was talking, she looked at Misaka Mikoto next to her with a strange look, which made the boyish girl feel uncomfortable for a while.
Electric shock...what happened to electric shock? She's not the only one in Academy City with electrical abilities, so why should we look at her! ')275'\u003eChapter 274 The Messenger of Justice in the Dark Night
"...I brought the money. Can you give it to me...the Fantasy Controller?" At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, in a dark alley, a little boy who looked very easily bullied cowered. When he came here, he asked the figure in the darkness.
"Huh? If you want something, take out the money first!" Walking out of the shadows were several people with lip rings, nose rings, earrings on their faces, and tattoos on their necks and arms. You could tell at a glance that they were bad guys. Several people gathered around the little boy and blocked him in the corner. At first glance, they thought they were going to do something to this handsome-looking little boy.
However, it is obvious that among this group of delinquents, there is no one with special hobbies.
"Money, here's the money!" Although the little boy who was forced into the corner was panicking, he did not dare to neglect. He took out a large stack of banknotes from his trouser pocket with trembling hands. Looking at the thickness and denomination, the amount was obviously not large. few.
"This, this is all I can take out, should it be enough?" The boy carefully handed over the banknotes in his hand. The leader of the gang held the money in his hand, counted it casually, and then Into pocket.
"Hmph! There are so many of them. It looks like a fat sheep!" Several bad guys looked at each other and said with malicious smiles on their faces: "Boy, the fantasy master who can improve the ability level is not just like this. You can buy it for just a little money! "Didn't you agree with me last time? You, you are not trustworthy!" The little boy had a look of surprise on his face. Although I had a vague premonition of something bad at the beginning, I didn’t expect that these bad guys would want to default on the debt so openly! "Haha! This guy is talking credit to us! Hahaha!" "Hahaha!" The leader of the bad guys pointed at the boy, and he and his accomplices laughed at the boy's naivety.
Then, all of a sudden, the bad boss suddenly changed his face, walked up to the boy with a ferocious face, and said in a sinister tone: "Boy! It's not your turn to take care of our affairs! I want to!" If you want to fantasize about it, bring me double the money! Otherwise, I know which school you go to!" "No, it's impossible! I don't have any money anymore! All the savings!" Faced with this kind of coaxing, the boy almost cried, no, he really cried.
"I don't care! Whether you steal, rob, lie, borrow or borrow, if you don't bring the money in a week, I will come to you and have a good chat!" The bad boss said fiercely, The delinquents behind him also made gloomy expressions in cooperation, which really frightened the little boy in the dim light.
"How could it be..." Just when the boy who was trying to buy something from a bad person and was deceived was showing a despairing expression, deep in the alley, in an even darker place, there was a sound that made everyone... A startled voice: "Ah, is it bad again? Why can't the garbage in this city be cleaned up?" This is...a woman's voice? "Who! Who is there!" The delinquents immediately became alert, letting go of the boys surrounded by the wall, and turned to look into the dark alley.
Pat, pat, pat - With the sound of heels stepping on the ground, a slim and petite silhouette walked out of the darkness, standing at the junction of dim light and pitch black darkness, making it difficult to see her true face. .
"Tch! Where did you come from, little girl, do you want to meddle in your own business?" The leader of the bad boss spat to the side, stretched out one hand, and a visible whirlwind emerged from the palm, hoping to intimidate this seemingly-looking person in front of him. A little girl who wants to mind her own business.
——Not all delinquents are idiots who can't see the situation clearly. The delinquent boss here who does a job called selling is actually robbery is a slightly more sober "smart person" who won't really He regarded the little girl in front of him as a weak and helpless girl.
He knew very well that anyone who dared to jump out at this time and could still say what he just said was definitely a strong man who was very confident in himself. He must have two brushes under his hands. He might be a person with strong ability or great ability. Don't be careless! It's a pity that what he met today was not a person with strong abilities or great abilities, but a being whose true strength was even stronger than most superpowers.
"Oh? Is this the power you got after using the so-called fantasy hand to improve your abilities? It's not that good!" Regarding the power displayed by this bad boss, the woman in the shadow said something like this, and suddenly This angered the bad boss.
"Damn it, you dare to look down on me! Go to hell!" The power gained from the Fantasy Master made this delinquent boss who was originally just an incompetent person suddenly swelled up. At this time, he didn't care whether the guy opposite him really had any power. Yiliang was still purely bluffing, and the anger in his heart drove him to throw out the whirlwind in his hand, which instantly turned into a tornado as thick as a bucket, raging through the narrow alley and killing the girl in front of him.
... Ten seconds later.
Bang! The last delinquent was hit in the stomach by a heavy punch that could not be seen with the naked eye, twitched and fell to the ground unconscious, while the delinquent boss had his hands and feet broken and lay on the ground, wailing helplessly.
——This guy just didn't hold back at all, and the girl's counterattack was naturally equally ruthless and sharp.
