Lin Xue always brings trouble, trouble, and even greater trouble.
But I also know that I can’t blame her. As a prophet, only she can discover those things earlier and more keenly than us. This is why prophets are not very popular in many cases: they always tell the bad things in advance.
News comes out - and many times those things are unavoidable.
The experiments on Saten Ruiko's ability development are still continuing, but just like the first few attempts, we are unable to cause any fluctuations in her increasingly huge mental power, and after using a human detection equipment to
After conducting experiments, we also discovered something even stranger: her mental power could not be sensed by Academy City's equipment specifically used to test espers!
In other words, according to Academy City's observation methods, Saten Ruiko, who has obtained the spiritual power of a magister, is still an ordinary person.
It is absolutely impossible for the detection equipment created by the Xiling Apostle to produce such an error, but we have replaced several sets of Academy City detection equipment and are still unable to detect Saten Ruiko's mental power. Her soul seems to have experienced something that we still can't find.
Due to unknown mutations, those mental powers have completely turned into something that only Xiling equipment can detect. Even the best Xiling science is at a loss to deal with this weird phenomenon.
But the only good thing is that this mutation does not seem to be harmful.
In the few days since the first experiment until now, Uiharu Shiri and Shirai Kuroko have also visited several times. At first, they seemed to come to check whether Saten Ruiko had been subjected to someone who "conspired to conduct inhumane human experiments with evil intentions."
"Scientific Madman", but after seeing that the other party only conducted routine physical examinations (actually radiation tests) and brain development courses (actually mental tests) every day, he felt relieved, and after discovering this weird
After the management system of the institute was surprisingly relaxed, the two girls almost planned to come over every day to play...
There is one thing that is rather regrettable. The famous "Dengeki Princess" of Nagabandai and the popular "heroine" Misaka Mikoto have not been able to meet each other yet. It is said that she is busy with something recently, so she has no time these days.
But I didn’t want to specifically inquire about the other party’s affairs. After all, as a stranger, if he showed too much attention to the "railgun", I don’t know what kind of execution plan Shirai Kuroko, who seems to be quite friendly now, would adopt.
…
Well, speaking of "railgun"...
I lowered my head slightly and glanced at Pandora who was following quietly beside me, my imagination running wildly in my mind.
The little loli next to me has the ultimate electromagnetic gun array + nuclear bomb silo group + fast anti-mechanical take-off and landing platform + floating cannon matrix + psionic giant turret group +..., what kind of super gun should it be?
"elder brother?"
Noticing my troubled gaze, Pandora raised her face slightly and came closer.
"fine."
I just had a rather rude association with my sister.
Speaking of which, why am I so stupid as to play poker with that girl Lin Xue?
And more importantly, I was so stupid that I agreed to make a bet with that guy - even though I knew the other person was a prophet, I still had to play cards to decide who would be responsible for purchasing. Did I really lack rest these days?
"Unfortunately!"
While I was wandering around in my mind as usual and letting Pandora next to me helplessly enter the daily standby state, not far behind me suddenly came a mournful cry from a certain spiky-headed boy that was almost his life motto.
Turning around following the sound, what caught my eye was a young man with a common face who was looking sad and a little bit tearful. On the ground less than half a meter in front of him, there was a box of food that had been smashed to pieces.
Eggs, two pieces of a broken mobile phone were soaked in the mixture of eggs, and half of a bank card in a miserable death shape was attached to the mobile phone. How unlucky does one have to be to put together three things that should never be put together?
Things were dropped in the same place and they were all shattered into pieces!!
"Brother, has this human made my sister angry?"
Pandora tugged on the corner of my clothes and asked calmly.
This question really has a subtle sense of familiarity.
"Ah, it's you."
When I was thinking about how to leave this unlucky halo without arousing the idea of the young man in front of me, the other man had already looked over. Listening to his tone, it seemed that he recognized me at once, whom we had only met once.
What an amazing memory.
"Who are you?"
In order to prevent trouble, I pretended not to recognize the other person and said with a confused expression, while Pandora next to me was boringly using the full set of radars to scan over the unlucky boy's body, trying to find traces that the other person was surrounded by cursed energy.
Speaking of Kamijou boy, where is your bank card? Where is your mobile phone? Where is your only chance to supplement protein once a week? Even if you are used to this situation, you still have to give me a little more sadness, right? How could you suddenly
I just forgot about them and turned my attention to a passerby whom I only met once!!
"Ah, that's right," the unlucky boy named Kamijou Touma scratched his hedgehog-like hair in embarrassment, "I just bumped into him by chance on the roadside. It's normal that I can't remember. I'm sorry, I just wanted to say hello.
"
"Oh," I pretended to be still a little confused, and then nodded clearly, "So that's it, then..."
"Ah, I found you!"
Before I could finish speaking, another powerful-sounding female voice interrupted my words. With the thought of this voice, Kamijou Touma suddenly felt a thrill visible to the naked eye, and let out a startled scream.
Call: "Hey——"
"Sorry, I suddenly remembered that there are very important things to do, so I have to take a step first. I am really sorry for causing you trouble!" Kamijou Touma finished this sentence in a hurry, and the next second he moved extremely quickly.
He slipped into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hey you--"
Accompanied by the girl's angry shout, some kind of violent energy fluctuation suddenly created ripples behind me, but just before I was ready to react, this energy fluctuation suddenly dissipated as suddenly as it appeared.
, presumably the owner of the energy finally realized that there were many unrelated people here, and had to suppress this attack forcefully.
Even if there are only seven Level 5s in Academy City, no matter how powerful they are in combat, it is impossible to catch Kamijou Boy, a melee professional who often engages in Mortal Kombat with delinquents, by relying on his physical strength under such circumstances.
Right?
I turned around and undoubtedly saw a girl with flushed cheeks.
The refreshing short brown hair, the long pantai school uniform with a thin sweater and gray pleated skirt in summer, the faint smell of electrolytic ozone in the air, and... the frog decoration that flashes around and it's hard not to notice.
Cannon Sister... Ahem, one of the two level 5s in Nagapandai, the Dengeki Princess at the top of 2.3 million people in Academy City - Cannon Sister.
Wrong again! It should be Misaka Mikoto. Speaking of which, the brainwashing of otaku culture is really terrible. After reading what was passed on by Bubble, I actually regarded the title "Pao Jie" as the official name of the girl in front of me?
"Really, let him run away again."
It seemed that this was not the first time that the other party had slipped away from her eyes. Misaka Mikoto muttered to herself in frustration while clenching her fists hard. A trace of arc in her hair unconsciously burst out, making a slight "pop" sound.
However, I seemed to be shrouded in the unlucky halo of Kamijou boy again. I thought I could watch the show in peace, but I didn't expect that the next moment I would also become the focus of a certain electromagnetic gun. Misaka Mikoto raised her head and glanced here, and then immediately revealed
A smile of unknown meaning.
Walking briskly in front of me, Misaka Mikoto raised her head and asked, "Hey, are you that guy's friend?"
I answered without even drafting: "No, in fact I am just a bystander who does not know the truth. I was involved in this incident when I led my sister out to make soy sauce. Now I am preparing to complete the shopping and go home for dinner!"
Pandora next to her nodded immediately, and then held up a small pot of soy sauce in front of her to prove that her brother was not lying - by the way, why is there such a subtle mission prop as soy sauce in this girl's personal space!?
"Oh, that's it, I'm sorry," Misaka Mikoto showed a clear look on her face, then bowed politely to apologize and turned her head.
"Who would believe such a ridiculous excuse!!"
It seems that Sister Pao was not fooled...
"Okay, okay, we met once, but it was just a chance encounter on the roadside. We haven't told each other our names yet. You probably thought I needed help standing in a daze on the roadside, so you took the initiative to talk to me. If you want
It might be impossible to find that boy through me."
"Is that so?" Misaka Mikoto had a questioning look on her face, but she nodded quickly, "It's not unimaginable that if it's that guy with a bad personality, he would do such a thing, well, let's forget it this time.
, Anyway, we will catch him one day, and then we will have a good competition to see who is more powerful!"
Boy Kamijou, I am here to pray for you.
"So, can we leave now?"
Seeing that Misaka Mikoto has given up on finding clues to Kamijou Touma from me, I carefully prepared to run away. Although meeting Gunsei is the biggest wish of many otaku creatures, my biggest thought now is that if I can't find it in the shortest time,
How will she face the ruthless sarcasm of a certain demi-immortal if she completes a large purchase within 12 days? Wait, Lin Xue’s unpredictable guy should have predicted this step already, right? That’s why she said, “You idiot, it’s absolutely impossible.”
Buy everything back within thirty minutes, and then let’s make a bet to determine the dishwashing issue for the next three days.” Damn it, that girl actually made a trick again!
"Well...please wait a moment!" Misaka Mikoto was about to nod, but she suddenly remembered something and stopped Pandora and me. Sure enough, is it impossible to go back smoothly?
Facing my confused look, Misaka took out her mobile phone, called up a message and put it in front of me: "Do you know where this place is? It's marked on the electronic map near here, but how to get there specifically?
do not know yet."
I took the phone and glanced at the place name marked on it, with a strange expression on my face: "Uh, why are you looking for this place?"
"It's a friend of mine. She recently participated in an experiment at this research institute. She has been very busy these days and has not had time to go and take a look. She is very curious about the situation there, so... by the way, do you know this place?
"
Phew, okay, now I am 10,000% certain that Lin Xue is covering her mouth and having fun in some dark corner. As a prophet, her hobbies are really weird.
Thinking helplessly, I agreed: "Of course, we are going to this place. If you don't mind waiting for a few minutes, we can go there together."
"That's great, thank you very much!"
Misaka Mikoto showed a rather surprised expression, and then thanked me loudly. As one of the only seven level 5s in Academy City, and a eldest lady with a good background, she is truly worthy of her courtesy and affinity.
How popular.
Somehow, I suddenly thought of Sandora.
When it comes to the mismatch between identity and behavior, no one can match that girl...
After buying all the things we wanted to buy today at a nearby store and handing them all over to the powerful Pandora, we set out on the road back to the institute. The distance was really not far, and it only took a few minutes to walk.
"Hey, as an older brother, I leave so many things to my delicate sister. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Misaka Mikoto watched me organize a large pile of merchandise into an extra-large backpack and put it on Pandora's back. She immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with a righteous heart, but I said something back: "Don't worry, my sister's standard carrying capacity is
But calculated in tons, based on strength alone, she could hit me eight times and still give me one hand."
"The ability to strengthen the body?" Misaka Mikoto immediately expressed surprise, "Are you espers?"
"That's right." I agreed without looking back, but the image of Tyson Schwarzenegger Rambo Pandora with muscles began to appear in my mind, and I instantly fell into a state of collapse.
The cute little Pandora is said to be physically strengthened, which is really scary.
There was no words for the rest of the journey, and we soon returned to the entrance of the institute.
"What a strange place..."
Misaka Mikoto looked at the huge white sign erected at the entrance of the research institute and said with black lines on her head.
There are several lines of large characters written on the sign in various handwritings of different thicknesses: Xiling Philosophy and Cultural Forms and Botany and Promotion of Mandarin Research Center, and also researches medicine.
Then he added an extension number in red handwriting and added: I started studying history yesterday.
I really wanted to hit my head on it and die.
Due to the delay of more than ten minutes, when we came back, we happened to catch up with Saten Ruiko after completing today's experiment and coming out of the research institute. Originally, a Xiling technician was sent to drive her back every time, but it always happened.
The very common girl seemed a little unaccustomed to that kind of treatment, and she actively refused the special treatment after being given it twice. Therefore, Saten Ruiko walked out and met us head-on.
"Ah, it's the director...er, senior Chen Jun!"
Seeing my figure, Saten Ruiko screamed in surprise, and to my satisfaction, she finally swallowed back that disappointing "director" in time, and then saw the person following me.
The figure immediately greeted unexpectedly: "Mikoto?! Why are you here too?"
"Hey, wait a minute," Misaka Mikoto was still a little dazed. When she realized what she was doing, she immediately pointed her index finger in my direction like a ghost and said to Saten Ruiko in surprise, "Did you just call him director?"
"Yes," Saten Ruiko said matter-of-factly, "He is the director here. He is a very good person. Senior Chen Jun, ah, that is his sister next to him, little Pandora~~ and she is from here.
One of the deputy directors~~~"
As soon as the words "Little Pandora" appeared, I felt that a certain Lolita general next to me who was carrying a big bag suddenly became angry.
Misaka Mikoto looked at us in disbelief. The unreliable man who claimed to have led her sister out to make soy sauce was the director. The deputy director was a loli who was about 1.2 meters tall and had an expressionless face. There was a suspicious notice with unknown origin at the gate.
cards, there are also research projects on capable people for the incompetent, and the security inspection system of the institute is so lax that any junior high school student can come in and find someone...
"What a strange place." The brown-haired girl could only sigh and made this comment.
"By the way, Leizi, how was today's experiment?"
"It's not bad," Saten Ruiko laughed while holding her hair, "It's the same as usual, but the director said that the experimental data this time has improved a lot compared to last time, although I don't feel anything."
"Are we leaving now?" I looked at the sun above my head, and then suddenly suggested, "It's already this time anyway, why not stay for dinner!"
"Eh? Is that okay?" Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto shouted in surprise at the same time. I was greeted with a confident smile: "Let you see my sister's craftsmanship!"
Since there were two more people at dinner, the workload of preparing food suddenly became a lot bigger. Even Qian Qian also went to help. Although the girl's cooking skills are not very good, at least her ability to control time can still effectively relieve her sister.
Due to the pressure, as for Miss Lin and I who originally wanted to help, well, our elder sister was prohibited from getting close to all the ingredients for various very subtle reasons.
"Wow! Chinese food!"
Seeing the sumptuous dishes on the table, Saten Ruiko was the first to let out a cry of surprise. Even Misaka Mikoto, the eldest lady beside her, also had her eyes light up. It was a confident work from her elder sister, except for the little ghost.
Apart from this bug-like housekeeping ability, there is a being that no one can match!
"I didn't expect that," Misaka Mikoto said thoughtfully, looking at the scene in the restaurant where everyone was sitting happily together like a family, "I originally thought that the relationship between researchers and ability users was just the simplest relationship between researcher and being studied.
I didn’t expect that there would be such a special case..."
Viska was hunkering down at his desk and chewing.
Pandora was chewing at her desk.
We all sat at our desks and munched.
This is the unique habit that our whole family has developed after living with Sandora for a long time. If we lamented for a long time like Misaka-san did every time, even the table would be eaten by a certain hungry queen!
"Well... I still think it's weird..." Misaka Mikoto said with a distorted face as lightning flashed on her forehead.
