Contrary to what we originally imagined, our actions seemed to be in trouble instantly.
The members of the Roman Orthodox Church who abducted the angel seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. There was no trace at all. Not only Kanzaki Kaori, but even the Xiling agents we sent could not find any trace of him. Pandora has invaded the entire Academy City.
All surveillance systems, except for the "air loop" that cannot be simply controlled because of its special properties, it can be said that the entire Academy City has become something more obvious to us than the restaurant that was raided by Sandora.
, but even so, those Roman Catholics did not show any trace, and even the historical records of some surveillance equipment did not leave anything. It is obvious that even members of the magic side who are generally mechanical idiots will be familiar with high technology before taking action.
The monitoring technology is laid out to a certain extent.
This is incredible.
Another thing that is basically certain is that the missing angel is indeed the slow Sylvia.
Although we have only met twice, the girl has become a friend of Lin Xue and me due to her friendly personality. Therefore, we all felt quite upset when we saw the empty Xiaoxi jewelry store.
Angel!?
Nonsense!
How could such an idiot be an angel?
Alaya floated innocently in front of me...
Ahem, I mean, such an ordinary guy, even just an orphan adopted by Academy City, how could she suddenly transform into an angel?
But these are all issues that need to be considered later. The top priority now is to find Sylvia’s whereabouts.
Although her business skills are not very good, Sylvia's popularity in this shopping street is quite good due to her natural friendly personality. After pretending to be investigators, we quickly found the location under the guidance of several enthusiastic people.
The small apartment where Sylvia lived.
"This is where that child lives," the store owner who brought us here enthusiastically pointed out. "At first, she couldn't remember her house number and asked us for directions all day long. As a result, everyone here was better than her.
I still know her address..."
us:"……"
"Please be sure to bring that child back safely!" Just as we were sighing, the store owner A, who looked ordinary, suddenly said loudly, and then bowed deeply, "Although Sylvia is always very clumsy, she is really
A very kind and enthusiastic girl, even though she has only moved here for a few months, she has made all of us here feel the warmth of that child, so please!”
"Of course, this is our duty."
With a reassuring smile, Lin Xue sent the store manager away and then locked the door.
"Find the whereabouts of the angel from the hands of the Roman Orthodox Church," I sighed, and then dragged Lin Xue towards the back room, "Girl, take a good smell for a while and see if you can find the whereabouts of Sylvia... Oh shit!
"
Accompanied by a loud noise, there was also the roar of a crazy prophet: "What kind of description did you use, you bastard!"
Sylvia's room looks quite neat and unusually simple. There is only a white single bed, a desk, a bedside table and two chairs. Even in this Academy City, there is nothing else.
There is no shortage of necessities for human beings: there is no computer, which makes me have to wonder whether the other party is poor because of his natural personality or because of his miserable business ability, but I think the possibility of the latter is also
It's not that high, and she can open a store in the core area of Academy City. Academy City's care for her is obvious. To this extent, she can probably live a good life even relying on relief funds, right?
A born purifier?
This really fits her status as an "angel".
Although I still don’t know why Sylvia, who was adopted as an orphan since childhood, suddenly turned into an “angel”, but now I suddenly and inexplicably identify with her new identity.
"There are no traces of struggle, and there is no remnant of special energy fluctuations," Lin Xue walked around in the small single bedroom. "There is the smell of a stranger, but she took the initiative to follow the other person out. Combined with Sylvia's
Brainpower, it seems that this is an abduction incident with a difficulty coefficient of 0.00."
I immediately summoned Alaya and said seriously to the confused-looking idiot Angel: "Good boy, you must remember one thing, don't talk to strangers..."
Then Qianqian, who was analyzing the timeline, came up and gave me a shock: "Don't think of our angels as idiots!!"
Alaya continues to be confused.
Qianqian also found nothing by looking back at the time here. Sylvia has obviously been taken away for a long time, and the control of time has the characteristic that the greater the span, the greater the difficulty of control will increase at the cubic level, not to mention that with
At present, Qianqian's ability cannot distort the history that has already happened, so in the end, we can only place our hope on Kanzaki.
But obviously, if even we can't find it, the chance of Kanzaki being able to find it is even smaller.
With a slight sound of breaking the air, the "saint" with the figure of a royal sister and the age of a girl appeared outside the window, and then jumped into the house through the open window.
"Do you usually enter and exit other people's homes through the window?"
Lin Xue asked with a serious expression.
"Well……"
Even though he was as calm as a god, he was unable to resist Lin Xue's verbal abuse.
"Didn't you find it?"
I had not received the signal from the other party before, and now seeing the depressed expression on her face, I had already guessed the result.
Kanzaki nodded silently and whispered: "They may have already mastered some kind of method, not only successfully sneaked into Academy City, but also left this place easily, or there may be some kind of method that can teleport regardless of obstacles.
I have informed other colleagues that they will use various channels to find clues about the other party, and the greatest bishop should also contact the Roman Orthodox Church through upper-level channels, but this is of little significance.
Having created a virtual angel, the Roman Orthodox Church will never make any compromises before its goals are achieved, and those lunatics who call themselves orthodox have never had the habit of compromising."
Have you left Academy City...?
That would be a bit troublesome. With the help of Pandora's system invasion and the activities of Xiling agents, I will undoubtedly occupy the home court in Academy City, but now the opponent is outside this city, and may even have already
After entering the protection of the Roman Orthodox Church, it is somewhat impossible to solve the incident quietly.
"We have obtained a virtual angel," Qianqian's thoughts were a little different from mine. "The Roman Orthodox Church thought they had a huge advantage, but they could imagine that the British Puritan Church had a lot of angels supporting them.
?”
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Qianqian's words, Kanzaki immediately showed an overjoyed expression, and Qianqian turned his gaze to me: "Ajun, I feel unhappy with the Roman Orthodox Church."
"I'm not happy either," I shrugged, slightly mourning the leisurely holiday I had just been shot, "Then let's get ready to beat up those hot-blooded monkeys."
"Heh...heh...hehe..." Kanzaki smiled dryly with a stiff expression, expressing that he didn't hear anything when the "Angel-sama" in front of him spoke.
"Then I will inform the great bishop of this good news as soon as possible," the young saint bowed to us and said, "We will find the whereabouts of the lost angel in the shortest possible time. I believe that with the consistent methods of the Roman Orthodox Church, we will soon be able to find the whereabouts of the lost angel."
They will make a big move, but before that, the lost angel should not be harmed in any way."
"...I hope." I said uncertainly, with a hint of worry in my heart. Although Sylvia was suddenly called an angel, she was actually powerless and naturally stupid.
"Human" girl, those lunatics in the Roman Orthodox Church who do whatever it takes to promote "the glory of the Lord" may not harm Sylvia, but just like fragile works of art that will be broken even in the hands of collectors, those
Is it really possible for fanatical Roman Catholics not to harm Sylvia in order to realize their "great righteousness"?
On the way back to the institute, I kept thinking about a question.
Aleister, what on earth are you thinking about?
Although it is quite difficult for someone like me who is not good at conspiracy to guess what the old fox is thinking, at least one thing is certain. Just like a certain fox girl, the hanging man in the pipe is definitely a person for the purpose.
A person who has unscrupulous means for his own goals, that is to say, he will never allow anything that will hinder his goals to happen. It is absolutely forbidden for the Roman Orthodox Church to obtain an angel and thereby greatly enhance its power. No matter how you think about it, it should be absolutely forbidden.
matter.
Wait...Angel...Sylvia...
Behind this whole thing, what role did a certain "omniscient and omnipotent" man play?
Is he just condoning all this, or is this something he planned at all? If this series of things happened on the territory of that guy who is used to taking everything into his own hands, if he acquiesced, then
This also shows that this is all planned by Aleister.
The slow-moving girl herself said that she was an orphan adopted from Academy City since childhood. In other words, her existence was actually some kind of plan of Aleister from the beginning?
No, this is a bit too miraculous. It’s true that Aleister is an old fox, but he probably hasn’t had the foresight to adopt a girl for an opportunity that may appear more than ten years later, just to let her live in the future.
One day when he grew up, he pretended to be an angel and was taken away by the Roman Orthodox people. No matter how you think about it, being able to pretend to be an "angel" and play a vital role in a conspiracy is not a role that can just be taken from the extras.
Just grab one and use it. This kind of design had to be started more than ten years ago. It would be more reliable if Lin Xue was the one to do it.
In other words, what Aleister initially planned to do was actually a plan to cultivate Light Genji?!
Oops, my thoughts are out of control again.
"Mu Mu, you have a gloomy expression on your face, your eyes are wandering and your eyes are occasionally lewd. What are you thinking about?"
Lin Xue noticed my abnormality, stopped curiously, and said this in a very serious tone.
You just added a lot of subtle things, asshole!
"It's nothing," I shook my head, suppressing the urge to go find Aleister right now. That would be too passive. "Qianqian, mobilize a group of professional agents from the Shadow City and come over within the sphere of influence of the Roman Orthodox Church."
Conduct a comprehensive search for Sylvia’s whereabouts. I will send Alaya to find the fox girl. We are not familiar with this place. No matter how powerful Agent Xiling is, he will definitely not be as good as the natives of this world. Lin Xue, this
I'll trouble you in a few days, I know you can't see anything related to Sylvia, so..."
"We can only comprehensively scan the entire Roman Orthodox Church to understand the situation from the side. I know, I know, so just be grateful, you idiot." Lin Xue habitually stumbled at me, and then suddenly her tone became slightly serious, "Speaking of which
, I never thought you would get serious."
"Of course I'm a little bit unhappy about being used as a weapon."
I shrugged and turned my gaze to a tall black building in the distance.
"Although I don't know what the purpose is, one thing is for sure. A certain man in charge is planning to make us stand out."
I don't have a problem with helping Academy City solve its troubles, and it's even something I'm happy to do. But if this trouble is a trap set by a man with a problem, and he plans to include us all, then I won't be happy about it.
.
Lin Xue nodded, then suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "If you need an agent, I can give you a suggestion - a genius who is very suitable to penetrate every corner of the Roman Orthodox Church under such circumstances."
I immediately expressed horror: "Do we still have such people under our command?"
Miss Lin smiled slightly: "Cicaro - that guy can promote his piracy market to the Papal Palace in the Vatican!"
Me & Qianqian: "...good idea."
So, in the evening of that day, under the leadership of a certain urban management killer, a specially trained Xiling agent with an enhanced battalion set off from the shadow city to every corner of the world - each with a small black satchel...
The first batch of Misaka sisters who came to experience life have completed a two-hour body adjustment test. With the efforts of Xiling technicians, we created a space device that can imitate the circuits of the world, thereby integrating some parts of the institute.
The underground space and the shadow city overlap. This simplified version of the "world circuit" greatly facilitates our transportation through time and space. More than a hundred Misaka sisters, including 10031, are the first beneficiaries of this technology.
The treatment was received in a well-equipped and well-staffed shadow base - nearly 3,000 special radiation-type biological conditioning chambers have been prepared there, and two Xiling hosts are still working overtime to personally supervise the construction of the remaining 7,000.
.
In addition to entering the shadow city when undergoing adjustments, the Misaka sisters still have to live in the research institute. This is to prevent too abnormal phenomena from making an old fox pay too much attention to this place - although now he may have begun to pay attention to it.
Bian pays too much attention.
However, due to the interference of Pandora's strong energy field, that guy has had countless monitoring equipment burned recently, right?
"Speaking of which, this scene is really weird..."
The rescue team members who went to the cafeteria to eat together on a whim during dinner sighed like this.
More than a hundred Misaka girls with exactly the same appearance, body, and clothing were sitting neatly at the large dining table, eating in uniform, with serious expressions, and the scene was spectacular.
"Hey, the Misaka Network is a very important part of that old guy Aleister's plan, but he never expected that we would be able to transfer these ten thousand Misaka sisters to another world. If he could think of it,
If this is the case, I'm afraid he would rather die than agree to let us help 'treat' the Misaka sisters."
Suddenly I thought of something quite interesting, and Qianqian whispered happily into my ear, and then I got goosebumps all over my body - this girl blew into my ears and eyes!
"Misaka 10031 was very happy to see her brothers and sisters coming over. Misaka 10031 just stood up and tried to say hello to her brothers, but it didn't seem to attract any attention. Misaka 10031 added with some disappointment."
Just as I was busy suppressing the goosebumps on my body, a mechanized voice suddenly sounded next to me, diverting my attention.
"Uh... I'm sorry..." I turned around in embarrassment and met the expressionless gaze of a certain Misaka sister. I don't know how long this child had been standing. "What, how are you feeling?"
"I feel good now, but my spine felt a little itchy when I just came out of the treatment equipment. Misaka 10031 reported seriously."
It seems that what the Xiling technicians over there have researched is indeed reliable. If your spine feels itchy, it proves that the entire ** update process has been successfully started.
"Are you getting used to living here?" I smiled and rubbed Misaka 10031's head, "Just make do with it for now. I'll arrange a better place for you in two days. It's a brand new city."
It was very rare that Miss Misaka had a slight blush on her face, and then she nodded quickly and said: "Misaka feels very, very happy to live here, and Misaka likes the kind people here very much. The Misaka sisters here also let me do it for them."
Expressing gratitude, the other Misaka sisters also hope to come over as soon as possible... Misaka 10031 felt that she had a lot to say but couldn't find the right adjectives for the moment, so she blushed a little eagerly..."
"Okay, okay... I understand," with a smile I patted the little girl who had just escaped from the nightmare and was a little excited to welcome a new life. I turned back to my sister and said, "Sister, the next batch of Misaka sisters should be
Is it coming soon?"
"It will be delivered tomorrow," onee-sama nodded, "if Aleister doesn't plan to continue making some small moves."
