Chapter 352 The most ridiculous research institute in history
Chapter 352 The most ridiculous research institute in history
Facing the girl with a flowerpot whose curiosity was soaring, I casually told her an ability, but when she kept nodding and looking at her with all kinds of envy and jealousy, such a clumsy lie actually succeeded!
Also, in a place like Academy City that specializes in producing people with abilities, even if only a small part of them can obtain superpowers, that is enough to cover me.
After eliminating the risk of another explosion in the store, Uiharu Shiori and I quickly rushed to Saten Ruiko's side.
"How is she doing?"
Even though I asked this question, I could already see that the situation was not good: the seriously injured short-haired girl had fallen into a severe coma at this moment, and there was a large pool of blood under her body. The previous bad guess was indeed true, she
His heart was stabbed.
With the fragility of human beings, even a small wound on a vital organ like the heart is enough to kill, let alone being stabbed from behind by a sharp metal object like this. Although there is still the last breath left, such damage has already been done.
It can be equated with death. Even if the medical staff contacted by Uiharu Shiri appear now, they can only save the day.
"What should I do... what should I do..."
No matter how strong she is, Saten Ruiko is just an ordinary female junior high school student. She should be at the age where she can enjoy life peacefully and happily every day on campus. At this moment, a fresh life is about to disappear in front of her eyes. Such a shock is far from her.
Tolerable.
"She couldn't hold out until the medical staff came."
After just a quick glance, I came to the conclusion that the blood was almost soaked into the light blue waiter's uniform. Not to mention the fatal wound on the heart, just this amount of blood loss was enough to be fatal.
And not to mention holding on until the medical staff arrives, I'm afraid it's too late to send her to the "Xiling Research Institute" that makes me sad. Conventional transportation is not fast enough, and the space transmission device will instantly kill such a weak human being -
—I am not carrying a modified space teleporter specially prepared for ordinary people.
"how come……"
After hearing my assertion, the two girls could only whisper to themselves in disbelief.
"Alaya, can ordinary humans bear your coming?"
Since he is now hiding in my spiritual sea, a certain person easily understood my thoughts and immediately gave a positive answer: "If it is just a 'sojourn', there will be no problem in a short time, but the other party is here."
During the process, one must completely lose consciousness, or even enter a state of 'pseudo-brain death', otherwise any subjective act of resistance may lead to the collapse of the host's soul."
"That's easy to say."
I gently put my finger on the forehead of the dying waitress. Her body trembled slightly and then calmed down.
Directly freezing the target's spiritual energy, resulting in "mental death" that is far more complete than brain death. Except that the soul still exists, the body is no different from a dead person. This should meet Alaya's requirements.
"what have you done?!"
Feeling that the body in her hands suddenly sank, as if she had lost all life, Saten Ruiko suddenly raised her head and said to me with a horrified expression.
"Don't worry, we are saving her."
I said briefly, and then put my hand on the target's forehead. Blocked by my palm, a piece of white light gradually penetrated into the target's head.
A few minutes later, Alaya had entered the opponent's body in the form of sacred energy.
Somehow, a rather interesting proposition suddenly appeared in my mind: energy state, light state, material state. Is this a stupid three-state change?
"Brother Monarch, I have temporarily replaced part of this child's biological tissue with sacred energy, but I'm afraid she can only last fifteen minutes, otherwise the child will be irreversibly assimilated into light by me."
"Time is enough."
I whispered, then took off my coat and put it on the girl who had begun to breathe steadily, and at the same time picked her up around the waist: the large and small wounds on her body were gradually filled with white light. I had to prevent anyone from seeing it.
Such an abnormal situation.
At the same time, a white van with the logo of the institute stopped beside us with a squeak, and my sister got out of the car and walked over quickly.
"What's going on? This girl is..."
While holding the victim in my arms and walking towards the car, I answered with my mental connection: "The accidental victim of an explosion has died, but Alaya is now extending her life by coming - life is really rich enough.
colourful."
"I thought this was a very harmonious place."
Onee-sama muttered, then stretched out her hand to greet Uiharu Shiri and Saten Ruiko, who were still in a daze: "Get in the car!"
"Why did you ask them to come too? What if the secret is leaked?"
Seeing the two girls sitting nervously in the back seat, looking worriedly at the victim who seemed to be in good condition from time to time, I asked my sister through the spiritual connection.
"There is no difference between us leaking secrets and not leaking secrets." My sister knew very well how much Qian Qian's series of whims in the past few days had raised our level of visibility, "and these two girls should have been just now
There's no guarantee that the people standing closest to you have discovered Alaya's existence. We took them to the research institute just for observation. More importantly, it would be a bit inappropriate to just leave them there."
"Um..." Uiharu's weak voice interrupted my "conversation" with my sister. The girl wearing the wreath said hesitantly, "I have notified the police force and the disciplinary committee, and I am also a disciplinary committee member.
It seemed like I should have stayed at the scene just now..."
Are you just thinking of this now?
"Don't worry," I comforted the girl who looked like a flower pot when looking down from the air, "human lives matter, they will understand."
"Eh? Aren't we going to the hospital?"
Saten Ruiko suddenly looked out the window and saw that the car was driving in the opposite direction to the nearest hospital. She couldn't help but asked in surprise.
Onee-sama answered without looking back while driving: "Let's go to the research institute."
The two girls exclaimed together: "Huh?"
"We have the most advanced treatment equipment and medical staff, well, that's right! We have a medical research institute there! So taking the victim there is definitely safer than taking him to the hospital, and from a distance perspective, going to the research institute is more economical.
Time...uh..."
The van grazed the curb and stopped steadily at the entrance of the institute. My nonsense also came to an abrupt end: there was a big line of words on the sign less than two meters away - Xiling Philosophy and Cultural Forms and Botany.
and the Promotion of Mandarin Research Center.
I almost pushed the car door and hit that sign! When was this thing put here?
"Brother, brother!"
Such a cheerful call was undoubtedly Viska's voice. As soon as I opened the car door and got out, I was hit head-on by a small black figure. Then I accomplished what I had just wanted to do but failed to do: hit that spot.
On the eye-catching sign.
"How about this?" The cat-eyed loli who had almost knocked her brother to death just now jumped out of my arms, and pointed to the sign behind her with pride, "Vesca made it herself!
The words above are all written by me!"
I have a good sister, Yuanmu.
Due to the special nature of this world, Viska didn't have to worry about causing riots because of his eye problems. When the little guy opened his eyes curiously and observed the two girls who followed me out of the car, the latter naturally let out a little surprise.
Phew, but it was just a exclamation.
"Rescue the wounded first," Sister finally couldn't help but remind us what issues should be prioritized now, "The life support chamber is ready - but because we don't know how serious the situation is, we may be overly prepared.
"
An exaggeration...a bit?
Looking at the so-called life support warehouse in front of me, which my sister said was an exaggerated "point", I held my head and beat the ground, orz.
It can be called a huge body, occupying an area of more than one hundred square meters. The intricate mechanical structure on the front is like a suspicious supernatural wall. The dark red energy flow pulses like blood between these mechanical structures, flickering like life.
, and at the bottom of this hill-shaped complex machinery, there is the entrance to the maintenance warehouse that gathers all the energy flows together and beats slowly like a heart. Well, you can lie down in it when you are about to die, and Brother Chun can attach it.
body place.
"I always feel that... once I get close to this thing, something very dangerous will happen..."
With a trembling tone, Uiharu Shiri said this after taking two steps back immediately after seeing the dangerous black mechanical monster in the hall.
"This equipment is really subtle. So is this the in vivo experimental equipment in the institute that is never disclosed to the public?"
I continued to hold my head and beat the ground, orz.
The dedication of top scientists from Xiling has brought together the most cutting-edge scientific and technological theories and mystical concepts in the universe, perfectly embodying the poor aesthetics of some very few Xiling designers.
But even the author doesn’t understand why these three letters are used to refer to the latest model of the series of life support chambers. The appearance alone can make people think, "If you jump in like this, will you be transformed into Killian and come out?"
Weird idea, this thing is really too exaggerated.
Seeing the two Xiling technicians in white robes carefully pushing the girl who was being hanged by Alaya into the entrance of the maintenance warehouse that shone with evil red light, all of us couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
I don’t know what Uiharu Shiri and Saten Ruiko are worried about. Anyway, I am really afraid that Ultraman will come out from inside. Those Xiling technicians who always like to add various additional functions to their products are the most worried.
I can do this.
"Brother Jun, the child's condition has been stabilized," Alaya's voice rang in my mind. "Her soul was extracted and preserved in the life support warehouse. Her body is now being gradually repaired and she will probably be handed over tomorrow.
The staff has carried out routine treatment.”
At the same time, a soft female voice also sounded in the hall: "The conditions of the organisms in the life support warehouse are normal and entering the second stage of repair."
This voice was meant to reassure the other two girls present.
"That's great," Shiri Uiharu let out a long breath, with a happy smile on her face, "It's really amazing."
"Of course, our institute has mastered the most advanced medical technology and is committed to using these technologies to benefit all mankind, full of sunshine and care..."
"But aren't you studying philosophy, botany, and linguistics?" Uiharu Shiori asked stupidly, "Although such research projects are really rare in this Academy City."
Me: "Actually, we are a comprehensive research institution. Philosophy and the like are just recent research topics."
I really can’t imagine how far Qianqian let Pandora hack Academy City’s computer network to allow such a miserable place to openly open for business!
"Then...are you studying the topic of ability development? For example, technology that can make it easier to improve ability levels."
Saten Ruiko, who had been silent and just looked curiously at the busy researchers around him, suddenly said, although his tone was calm, there was a hint of expectation that was not easy to detect.
I was stunned for a moment and immediately figured out the reason. This girl really cares about this matter.
And judging from what she said now, the "Fantasy Controller" incident should not have happened yet. No, it should be said that due to the difference between the projection world and the real world, it is still unknown whether that incident will happen.
"Saten-san, something like that cannot exist. It's an urban legend. It's just an urban legend."
That thing really appeared...
"We have been conducting research on capability development for a while," I had a seemingly interesting idea in my mind, and after it was unanimously approved in a momentary mental meeting, I said with a regretful expression, "But due to employment
The ability user who came to cooperate with the research terminated the contract early due to family reasons, and the research itself has achieved most of the results, so the plan was stopped a year ago, but personally, I still feel a little regretful.
"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Saten Ruiko's eyes, but it was fleeting. It was obvious that she knew that she was so mediocre and was only a level 0 person so far, there was no possibility of being qualified to participate in this kind of research.
.
"But I plan to start another experimental project for capacity development recently."
Intentionally or unintentionally, I looked at the black-haired girl in front of me, and the strange aura was fully activated - when it comes to the level of buying lolita, we can be called the legendary ex emperor, although this statement has an inexplicable sadness.
Saten Ruiko is not a lolita, but you are just a junior high school student. You have just left the scope of the lolita race!
Seeing that the other party still had no reaction, I took another dose of strong medicine: "Now as long as we find a suitable collaborator, well, someone with abilities to cooperate with the research, this project can be launched immediately."
"Excuse me, does the collaborator you are looking for have to be a capable person?"
Seeing the look on his friend's face that was looking forward to but not having the courage to speak out, and hearing something from my tone, Uiharu Shiri finally couldn't help but speak.
Good job! I have decided. Based on this performance, the girl named Uiharu Shiori has been promoted from the title of flower pot girl to flower bed girl!
"Esperes don't specifically refer to people above level 1, right? For us researchers, those who have the talent to become espers, even level 0, can be called espers. In fact, our research this time requires
The test subjects are those who have gone through all the ability development training and still have not awakened their abilities, and have reached the age of thirteen and have entered level 0, which is not suitable for ability development. Well, if possible, it is best to be from a nearby school district.
Students, because this project may require a full-day trial, it can be very convenient to go to school nearby.”
If I don't take the bait, I'll have no choice but to hit him to death!
"Really?!" Saten Ruiko finally realized that a huge opportunity was placed in front of her. Such an opportunity was something she had never dared to imagine!
Most of the research institutions in Academy City are built around espers. The direction of their research is naturally to improve the ability level of espers or to discover more effective superpower training methods, as well as the resulting extended fields.
Although they are essentially being studied as guinea pigs or more simply as "white mice", there are still many capable people who are willing to cooperate with such experiments. The high rewards are one aspect, and more importantly, such research
It is indeed very helpful to improve the ability level. Saten Ruiko is not a person who blindly pursues power, but her friends around her are far "better" than herself. She is always protected as a person, even a
A burdensome role, this kind of thing makes the girl who values friendship the most feel extremely painful, so even if there is only a 1% chance that she can gain abilities, even if it is something unreliable like an urban legend, Saten Ruiko is willing to go for it.
She had never thought about trying, but being favored by a research institution to develop her abilities alone.
The reason is simple, no one will invest a lot of money and energy for an almost impossible goal.
Of course, excluding a group of idle and moldy imperial leaders...
Now, an opportunity is placed in front of him. Although it is a very suspicious-looking research institute, and the research it conducts is also full of complaints, at least it seems that this place is really...
Very research institute!
More importantly, the man in front of me seems to be a good person...
He is a good person...
He is a good person...
Inexplicably, I felt chills all over my body, as if something quite bad had struck a fatal blow at the mental level, but I didn't find out where the attacker came from except that my HP dropped significantly.
"Is such a research really being conducted?!" After all, she is just a junior high school student, and the girl with long black hair will not hide her feelings at all. "Then, can I? Can I participate? I will work very hard!
"
I have to say, it's not easy to get you hooked.
"Wait a minute!" Shiri Uiharu suddenly interrupted our conversation, "Your research won't be dangerous, right?"
"Of course," I smiled brightly, "10,000 percent safe!"
