Although the appearance of the black shadow gave magicians some hope, problems also followed.
"...Is this the true nature of 'that thing'?"
When he looked at Kanzaki, Steele's teeth grinded.
They had all seen Index lose herself.
As an expert who studies "runes", although he is currently unable to analyze the specific effect of "shackles", he is not unclear about what it means.
The source of the three people's pain over the past few years is right in front of them, and both Kanzaki and Steele are eagerly thinking of ways to eliminate it.
"Steele."
Kanzaki shouted the name of the magic genius, and the meaning was self-evident.
Unfortunately, the problem is not that simple.
"...No, that's not a simple spell. Even if you want to reverse the calculation, I'm afraid the internal defense mechanism will be triggered first."
Steele, who was well aware of this kind of magical structure, said something he did not want to admit with a sullen face.
It was too difficult to not harm Index's body, but also to deal with the "backhand" of such complicated changes.
Maybe giving him the opportunity to study in depth can be done, but now...
Steele counted the few hours carefully.
Is it really too late?
Is there really no way to save a tortured girl?
The same self-questioning fills the hearts of magicians.
Of course.
They have also realized who the person closest to the truth is.
only.
Before Kanzaki and Stiyl decide to ask for answers, one thing remains.
The two of them seemed to have forgotten——
"Don't worry."
The voice representing "Mebius" sounded at the right time.
"Keep reading."
She gestured and said.
The superpower's answer gave the female saint and the flame magician a very bad premonition.
Only then did the two discover it.
The magic circle used for inspection did not disappear after 'completion of the task', but was still spinning downwards.
spinning.
Until it stopped again at the position below Index's heart.
Together with the heartbeats of the magicians, they were suppressed to the point of stopping.
gradually.
the second time.
Something appeared on the magic circle that they couldn't understand and believe.
"This...what is this..."
Kanzaki didn't realize that his voice had become a little trembling.
Seeing this scene, Steele and his companions could not remain calm.
How many things did that woman hide from the upper echelons of the church?
The two of them didn't dare to think about it.
But that shadow, the metal-shaped prop with many numbers, was so dazzling.
"That's what the so-called 'double insurance' refers to."
Flanda snorted softly and said sarcastically.
"Remote control spiritual equipment".
The "Royal Faction" and the "Puritan Faction" each hold a "key" that can be forcibly activated from the outside and directly interfere with the "Automatic Secretary" props.
This is also the real core reason why they dare to indulge the "Forbidden Index" to wander around.
Of course, what appears here is not a prototype, but a concrete representation produced by similar backlinks.
"..."
Facing the reality with the cover torn away, Kanzaki and Steele fell silent again.
Obviously, it is such a simple truth.
How could someone who would ask a child to memorize 13,000 magic books and tell them that erasing their memory is the only way to confess everything.
The results they saw with their own eyes hit them hard like a hammer, and the word innocence seemed to be mocking them mercilessly.
"...What should we do to destroy them?"
What should be done to free the child?
Kanzaki repeated the words in his heart and murmured.
"Is it okay?"
After looking at the solemn-looking female saint, Flanda raised her head slightly.
"Once the 'collar' disappears, your position will become very delicate."
"In the worst case scenario, you might be judged as a traitor and be punished."
She said this.
It's impossible for the two of them not to have considered this.
But.
even so.
"Things like that don't matter at all."
The speaker was Steele.
It's all come to this.
‘Destiny’ is within reach.
As long as this endless tragedy can be ended, it doesn't matter what happens to me.
This is the consciousness they have long had.
…
…
——"Mebius".
A magical association reborn in the turmoil of Northern Europe.
and.
"In your world, this should be a very popular term recently."
After answering Laura's question just now, Aleister said calmly.
He did not deny the 'intersection' between the two. After all, if he was willing to investigate, the identity of a certain Level 5 person would not be a secret at all.
"Well, that's true."
Laura nodded, and then restrained her relaxed tone.
"They are a little too active. Coupled with the differences in their own cultural circles, neither the 'Roman Orthodox Church' nor the 'Russian Orthodox Church' can reach any consensus with them."
To put it simply, they just don't like each other.
Whether it is the cooperation with the "Ilisalina Independent State Alliance" or the fall of the "Land of the Left", it is enough reason for the two major sects to go to war.
If you can still be so restrained now, there is only one possibility.
That association, "Mebius", has a power that they are afraid of.
Plus……
(Even the kid from "Scarlet Sunshine" seems to have gotten involved with them.)
Thinking of this, Laura's face showed a beautiful smile again.
She looked at Aleister and opened her mouth slightly.
"What does 'Academy City' think of this? Although 'Mebius' flaunts the coexistence of science and magic, as far as I know, what they have used so far is still magic, right?"
Sure enough, it came.
The "human" hanging upside down responded to the sharp gaze by closing his eyes and thinking.
"I'm not very clear about the laws of your world."
A male-female voice said briefly.
"However, Academy City will not reject those who are willing to accept science."
As for whether that 'person' can stay or has other purposes, it needs to be judged and then concluded.
The best example is Tsuchimikado Motoharu.
Laura understood what Aleister meant.
This answer is very tactful, but it can also be regarded as a statement.
Are you prepared to wait and see what happens and reap the benefits, or do you have any other plans?
The Archbishop absorbed the information in the few words spoken.
fair enough.
Since the scientific camp still maintains nominal neutrality, there are more places for them to operate.
Laura allowed her body to relax a little.
"So."
She changed her increasingly serious tone and smiled briskly.
"There are some other things, let us discuss them in detail."
