Scientific research shows that in a dry environment, people can withstand activities at temperatures up to 54°C.
But Academy City is not dry, and the current temperature is more than 54°C. The steaming air waves on the streets seem to be able to distort space, as if they are going to exterminate every life!
Fortunately, in this technological city, most indoor rooms are air-conditioned, which can last for a while.
A few minutes ago, the security guards were patrolling the streets to rescue pedestrians who had not returned indoors in time. After several people were unconscious, they hurriedly evacuated and returned to the indoors to control the security robots.
The only people who can still walk on the street today are Accelerator who came out to look for the root cause because he was obsessed with the heat in the last work, Ji Xing who also came out to look for the root cause, and the root source.
It was a girl who looked like a primary school student. She had black hair, purple hair, straight bangs, and surgical scars on her neck. She was wearing a pink hoodie and a white bikini swimsuit underneath, with various carrot and rabbit ornaments. She was petite and cute.
.
Not commensurate with her figure, she carries a large dark gray backpack, which contains various telecommunications equipment and antennas. This is how she uses her flying saucer balloon to cooperate with the orbiting space station and heat up Academy City.
!
Her name is Karasuma Fran, and her character's appearance slightly overlaps with Kihara's circle. However, although her performance in science and technology is exaggerated, her actual identity is a magician of the British Puritan Church, and she is directly subordinate to the greatest bishop, Laura Smith.
The elite of Duhua!
Because she had performed astrology in advance, she successfully avoided the appearance change of Angel Fall, and now she entered Academy City...
"Academy City has been successfully paralyzed, so the next step is..." She clicked on her phone, and an image appeared on the screen. The boy with a touch of red hair on his forehead was none other than Ji Xing!
"Find Lan Huayue, the sixth superpower."
Taking a deep breath to encourage herself, she used magic to erase her traces and used the signal to locate Ji Xing's position. Half a minute later, she suddenly discovered...the target seemed to be very close?
Turn the corner, head to chest.
The little girl was startled, staggered a few steps back, and looked at Ji Xing with a sullen face.
'Can you ignore such a high temperature? And you can actually find me in reverse direction... Hey, it's strange, why doesn't his appearance seem to change?'
Ji Xing also looked at her. This child seems to have appeared in the late New Testament... Who is it?
"Are you looking for me?" he asked.
Karasuma Fran paused, as if she was adjusting her nervousness, then her face showed a hint of hostility: "Lan Huayue, my name is Karasuma Fran, you are not unfamiliar with my last name, are you? How did you know it?
My great-grandfather is named after him, so why do you want to make a story about him and maliciously slander him?"
Ji Xing was stunned for a moment: "Karasuma... Renye?"
"snort!"
"..." Ji Xing fell silent.
Can it be even more ridiculous? The great-granddaughter of the boss of the black organization appears to seek revenge on me?!
You caught me, a storyteller, a bit off guard! Teacher Xiaomeng, I understand you!
But this is different from Teacher Xiaomeng who was accidentally injured. His memory may have been tampered with.
Sure enough, some people don't trust me.
poor child.
Seeing that Ji Xing did not answer, but instead walked closer to him, Karasuma Franchi took two steps back nervously and flipped his wrist: "It seems... you don't want to give me an explanation, Lan Huayue."
Compared with the technological power that can affect the weather of the entire Academy City, her magic level is not weak. Her strongest attack method is to store a large amount of star radiance into the strike talisman at hand and release it at once, which is as powerful as knocking down mountains and buildings!
She quickly transformed her magic power, trying to press the 'safety' of the talisman to ensure that it would be activated at any time, but suddenly it stagnated.
Transformation magic...failed?
"Ouch——!"
boom!
Amidst the violent explosions, the little girl was pushed to the ground by Ji Xing's hand. All the instruments in the backpack were directly impacted and crushed. The little girl also vomited a large mouthful of blood and fell into a coma from fear.
After casually beating up a child, Ji Xing took out his cell phone and called Mugino Shenli.
'The target location is at XXX. She has lost her ability to resist and the temperature will drop back soon. Please call the client to transport her away.'
In the sukiyaki shop, the corners of 5-year-old Mugino's eyes twitched. This guy... He just went out for less than ten minutes, right? From finding someone to solving it, he was done?
"Anbu Dragon..."
What kind of organization is it?
She typed quickly with her fingers: 'Is it okay to summon you in ten minutes? You are too fast, and there may be some annoying nagging from the client.'
She answered with an OK expression.
…
At the same time, in London, England, Laura Stewart, the largest Puritan bishop, was soaking her feet again, and the big devil maintained a good work and rest habit.
The fall of the angel did not affect her at all, and unlike before, she was still holding a book in her hands at this moment, a book printed out and stapled on A4 paper, titled... "The Black Organization".
That's right, it was the urban legend compiled by Zuotian Ruiko that circulated the version of Academy City. Originally, it was only circulated in Japan, but Laura was interested and could naturally get it.
"The story is interesting and the characters are vivid, but some of the time arrangements are still unclear even after being summarized and sorted out. If it is to be officially published, it would be better to make more corrections."
Putting the book aside, she commented softly and smiled quickly: "If it's just a story, it doesn't have to be perfect."
"But... Karasuma Fran's ability to use magic seems to be a little different from his previous performance, and as a superpower, he also escaped the angel's fall. Why is it not perfect here?"
…
The temperature in Academy City gradually returned to normal, and the unbearable high temperature only lasted for more than an hour in total.
Academy City is gradually coming to life, and the citizens are used to this kind of life where something happens every three or five days. It's just that they have one more thing to talk about after dinner. Maybe they will also contribute to the environmental protection cause of reducing carbon emissions and preventing global warming?
Ji Xing and the prop quartet also went to the Diamond Emporium as planned and bought a bunch of little boys' clothes for Silk Flag, who was celebrating his birthday - that's okay, those clothes will be replaced naturally when the Angel's Fall is over.
into a fitted miniskirt.
Others are like this too.
Accustomed to the awkward image, we spent the whole day playing together and didn't separate until around nine o'clock in the evening.
Ji Xing then diverted to the Windowless Building.
A flash of light entered the building. Unlike the usual sight of Aleister hanging upside down in the life support device, this time he took a step forward, as if he had entered a vast starry sky!
There are dots of stars in all directions, and it is so dark and deep that it is difficult to see the end at a glance.
Directly opposite Ji Xing, Aleister stood upright on the ground and looked at him with a smile.
There were two people and a dog nearby.
One of the two is a young beauty wearing black Western mourning clothes, veil, cat ears and tail, like a black cat witch.
The other one has a female appearance, wearing a loose white cloth, with long golden hair, and an angel with golden light shining all over her body!
As for the dog, it was a very large golden retriever, with a shiny body and eyes looking at Ji Xing, shining with a glimmer of wisdom.
His eyes passed over the three of them. Ji Xing nodded slightly as a greeting to them. He looked at Aleister and said: "Academy City has so many wood logs and so many advanced technologies. To be invaded by a little girl, Mugino and the others have to go through."
Isn’t it a bit embarrassing to entrust me with this task?”
"The other party's target was originally you." Aleister chuckled and said: "But I still want to say sorry to you. It seems that it was because of me that the guy paid too much attention to you. That little girl's
She has a psychic in her hair.”
The grudge between him and Coronzon lasted for almost a century. Both sides had concerns and wanted to take advantage of the other's things. They maintained a delicate balance. Neither one wanted to reveal his traces and let the other party check his situation at this time.
.
In the original work, Aleister showed up first and cut off the hand of the right fire, but this time because of Ji Xing, Coronzon showed up a little first.
"It's okay." Ji Xing accepted Aleister's apology and said: "When she regards me as your subordinate, secret hand, and trump card to check, it means that she can't cause me much trouble.
"
This sentence made the two of them look at each other slightly, and Aleister said: "As long as you are sure."
Immediately, he turned sideways and said: "Also, I want to say sorry for not notifying you in advance. These people have been curious about you for a long time. I think it's time for you to meet, so I asked everyone to wait here.
."
"This is Mina Mathers, one of my most effective assistants." He led to the Black Cat Witch.
The Black Cat Witch is a 'question-and-answer thinking-assisted artificial intelligence' made by Aleister himself. The main body is a calculation device weighing dozens of tons. It is a tree diagram design that is said to be the strongest in the school and was just bombed.
A computer with greater computing power!
It is Academy City's highest-tech product.
As for its appearance, Aleister modeled it on the wife of his teacher, rival, and enemy, the great magician Mathers. All I can say is... Aleister is quite good at playing.
She bowed slightly to Ji Xing and said, "It's the first time we meet, hello, the immortal from China."
"Hello." Ji Xing responded politely.
Aleister pointed to the angel again: "This is Lord Aiwass, as you can see, an angel."
Unlike the fallen Christian Angel Gabriel, Aiwass is not a magic angel, but an angel from the lowest phase of the world, a pure physical phase. He was summoned by Aleister by borrowing his wife's body.
Aleister's identity as the founder of modern magic comes from her knowledge. She is also inseparable from the development of Academy City's superpowers. At the same time, she was originally the only member of the top-secret ANBU Dragon Dragon.
Now...can he be regarded as Ji Xing's colleague?
The colleague was not enthusiastic and just observed Ji Xing quietly, but Ji Xing greeted warmly: "Hello, Mr. Aiwass."
She nodded slightly as a response.
Aleister then pointed to the last golden retriever: "It is Kihara Brainstem, Kihara's manager, and also one of my most capable assistants."
It is indeed a dog, but it is a dog with a highly developed brain and intelligence that surpasses humans. It has abilities that cannot be underestimated.
The two people and the dog in front of me are Aleister's biggest trump cards, and they are also Academy City's top strength that can compete with the magic side. They are several levels beyond today's superpowers!
Of course, he is also an important contributor to Starlight.
Ji Xing also exchanged greetings with it.
The golden retriever looked at Ji Xing with warm eyes and suddenly asked: "Lang Sen Bad Field, are you really an immortal from China?"
Ji Xing smiled: "Just believe it seriously."
It was silent for a moment, and then said: "Why did Karasuma Fran show her extraordinary power even though she knew clearly that it was her test?"
"She has been tested, and we can't let her return without success. Then the next tests will probably be one after another, which will be very annoying." Ji Xing said: "Not only that, I am also planning to let her see a little more.
Chairman, I will leave Academy City tomorrow morning and go to the beach."
"Please." Aleister said.
Ji Xing nodded: "Then...if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first? How many of you?"
"Please." Aleister repeated, as if today was really just a meeting.
Then Ji Xing's figure flickered and disappeared, leaving three people and one dog behind in the "starry sky". The space was silent for a moment, and Aleister turned around and said.
