Stray Chapter 26: Nervous tourists?

   The magician calmly closed the old version of the attribute panel in front of him, and checked his own status.

   He did not feel any weakening of his own power, the radio waves in the air, the underground magnetic field, the various biological pheromones permeating the space, and even the infinite possibilities of the world before and after the collapse of the wave function. , which is still the basic composition of his form of perception.

   Just from this point of view, it can be determined that the ability value displayed by such a panel is simply not worthy of the name, and it is definitely not his current state.

   Real body crossing?

   or...

   The thoughts in his mind were fleeting, and his movements stopped for a while, and the behavior that was about to mobilize magic power also stopped.

  There is something in the air with a size of nanometer, which seems to be dust, but it is not dust, but an artificial technological creation. The shape is similar to a sphere. Six wire-like cilia that move in a way similar to floating in the air.

   This is something ordinary people have to use an electron microscope to see, and even Xia Ran almost ignored the past.

   is a bit familiar...

  The micro-intelligence network formed by airborne transmission using nano-scale robots...

  So——is this really Academy City?

   He looked back at the city in the dark and saw the three spiral blades of the windmills. He probably confirmed where he was at the moment, but he still didn't quite understand. what a state.

   glanced at the big river next to him, he was thinking about something, and he casually walked under the dam.

  Although he has too many forms of perception and is too advanced, but as a human, the habit he has developed still makes him more like to use vision to do more confirmation.

   It was pitch-dark night and weak light, but it did not affect Xia Ran's eyesight. From astronomical radio telescopes to electron microscopes, within such a range, his visual ability is quite good, even in all human beings. can also be among the best...

   Hmm, something doesn't seem right, but that's exactly what it is.

  's face is his own...

  The body is my own...

   I didn't even change my clothes, it's the same casual clothes I wore when I went out today...

  Body, soul, spirit, will, and even all power, the absolute essence, can only be his "self" and cannot be anyone else.

   "Why is it so real?" Standing on the riverbank, Xia Ran waved his hand with some doubts, and moved his limbs a few times, "If it wasn't for the real crossing, but some kind of memory record, I would Should be just a bystander..."

   He was just a little confused, but not panicked or nervous.

  Although he doesn't understand what's going on, it doesn't seem to be worth paying attention to. He now finds it interesting.

   There is still an inexplicable feeling of indifference in the bottom of my heart, it is the indifference that seems to have finally reached the end, it seems that the most important thing has been completed... It does not seem right to say that, it seems to be a very familiar and very familiar Subtle feeling.

   is like obviously I haven't done my homework yet, but I just feel that tomorrow I will definitely finish it...

   So the homework is equivalent to having been completed by myself, so I don't have to worry about it today.

   is probably this subtle feeling.

  "Shit...damn...Finally got rid of..."

   At this moment, a panting voice came from not far across the bridge.

   A spiky-headed boy ran forward like a lifeless man, and rushed towards this side in the dark of night. He rushed all the way to the bridge, and then he subconsciously glanced behind him and found that he did not know when it started, but there was already a man behind him. People are gone.

  "Huh...huh..."

  The spiky-headed boy stopped in his tracks. He desperately resisted the urge to sit down, panting and bending down to support his knees, panting heavily, feeling his lungs burning hot Yes, it's about to burn.

   Kamijou Touma couldn't figure out how long he had been running in sweat and tears, and now he has run out of the city and into such a remote place.

   is also fortunate that he has been very unlucky all the time, so this kind of thing is commonplace, and over time, he has exercised quite good physical fitness and long-distance running skills, and his opponent is a street gangster who has long been hollowed out by alcohol, So today I just passed the test without any risk.

   However, his heart was still bleeding.

  "But...Damn...why should I waste my youth on this kind of thing!" Thinking of the series of things that happened today, the spiky-haired boy couldn't help roaring in his heart, panting heavily. There was also the urge to burst into tears.

   Today is July 19th.

  The summer vacation starts tomorrow.

  Because I was affected by my excitement, I bought a comic in a bookstore and knew it was a landmine when I saw the cover. I was not hungry but I wanted to eat something good, so I went into a public restaurant and read it again. A girl who looks like a middle school student is entangled by a bad boy who is obviously drunk...

   So he stepped forward to help—mainly because the boy Kamijou recognized the identity of the middle school girl, so he kindly wanted to save the bad life.

   Of course, the bad guy didn't understand his intentions at all, he thought he was here to rob a woman, and it turned into a fight. At that point, Kamijou Touma had no choice but to knock the guy down with a few punches.

   This is also for the good of that guy. It's better to be knocked down by punches than electrotherapy, right? Kamijou Touma thought so, but what he didn't expect was that he had just defeated that guy, and then he walked out of the toilet with a large group of accomplices of bad boys...

   So he was chased down nine streets by eight delinquent teenagers, and he just came here from the city...

   This is not to mention, the most terrible thing is that under the moonlight, the streets are full of pairs, and every look is a sweet couple full of happiness and dreams. As a single dog, the young Kamijou had to watch this scene while being chased and beaten.

   The body is covered with bruises and bruises, and the mind is also crippled.

   "The bitter gourd and snail **** lasagna I ordered has not been served yet, and I didn't even eat a single bite, but I had to be treated as a king's meal...Unfortunate, unfortunate, unfortunate!"

   Kamijou Touma screamed and pulled his hair, and the messy spiky head was messed up even more by him. He felt that he was really unlucky, so it is said that when God distributes luck, it is Didn't you miss out?

  ——There are eight buckets of luck in the world, people in the world share one stone, and Kamijou Touma only owes two buckets?

  "What game are you playing? When you are a good person who protects bad boys? Or a warm-blooded teacher?"

   In the night wind, there was such a faint sound.

   was irritably grabbing his spiky head, making his hair even more messy. Kamijou Touma suddenly froze. He turned around with some difficulty and found that he was just running in the direction behind him, five miles away. A girl is standing meters away.

   Wearing a gray pleated skirt, a short-sleeved top and a thin summer sweater, about the age of a middle school student. The corners of her mouth showed tiger teeth, and she was staring at Kamijou.

   Sure enough, Kamijou Touma managed to squeeze out a strong and cracked smile.

   He knew that once he was unlucky, the bad luck would never end so easily!

  …

  …

  "It's a pity that I don't have the ability of Zi, otherwise, I should be able to better distinguish the current realm of illusion..."

   squatted on the river bank of the dam, stretched out his hand and fiddled with the water surface a few times, Xia Ran stared at the night reflected on the river and the reflection of the black long straight girl, shook her head gently, and then seemed to I remembered something and looked at those stagnant loops in the air.

  These nanomachines are Aleister Crowley's surveillance tools. These tiny machines are subjected to air convection to generate their own electricity and collect intelligence semi-permanently.

   The most terrifying thing is that the Hanged Man spread at least 50 million such machines invisible to the naked eye on the streets to form a micro-intelligence network to monitor every corner of Academy City.

  So...

  I saw something I shouldn't have seen... With a sigh in my heart, Xia Ran's mind moved, and he directly edited and smeared out the information collected by the several stagnant loops nearby.

   This kind of machine can only be seen with an electron microscope. In addition, even if it is knocked open by a nano-scale body, it is useless if it is not connected.

   And more than that, the internal generation of the stagnation loop is a quantum signal. Because of its characteristics, if it is accidentally "observed" by the outside, the information will be directly deteriorated.

   But Xia Ran doesn't care, and he doesn't need to "observe" the internal quantum signals. He just expands the mind force field to cover the stagnation loop, and the entire space area seems to be in his hands, with different rules. "Alien".

  The apple will fall from the tree, and the light will travel in a straight line... From common sense, to cognition, to the law of phenomena, he smears and modifies it.

   It's impossible to fight against the devil, of course, but isn't the small nano-intelligence machine still allowed to be ravaged by him?

   When the thought arises, the mighty power is self-generated, and the power turns freely, because I think, so I can. With the constant approach to the high-dimensional gods and demons, the life form is constantly changing, and his power seems to be becoming more and more idealistic.

   done all this lightly, and the magician stood up.

   He let out a light breath, closed his eyes slightly, felt the night wind blowing on his face, and listened to the sound of the river flowing quietly in front of him.

  Unfamiliar world, unfamiliar city, quiet night of silence...

  "...Where did I provoke you?"

  "I can't allow human beings stronger than me in the world, this reason alone is enough!"

  "These days, even the character settings of fighting games are not so brainless!"

  ——The sound like a quarrel came from the bridge on the side, and it was extremely intense, breaking the quiet atmosphere.

   twitched the corners of his mouth, Xia Ran sighed, have these two enemies already fought each other?

   He shook his head, turned and walked towards the dam. Although he was really confused about the situation, it was not that bad. He was just looking at everything in front of him with a novel mentality. What's the hurry, anyway, what should come will always come.

  It's not fate...

   but decides his own destiny...

   Indistinctly, deep in his heart, there seemed to be a flash of this indifferent thought, but it was fleeting, and he didn't even notice it.

  "Do you know what a railgun is?"

  “Huh?”

  "I heard that the principle is the same as that of a maglev train. It is a ship-borne weapon that uses a super-powerful electromagnet to shoot out metal shells."

On the bridge next to   , the fierce quarrel seemed to have calmed down a lot, and with the words floating in the night wind, it became as if there were simply two people asking and answering.

  The girl put her hand into the pocket of her skirt and took out a game coin. As she spoke, she dinged the coin into the sky with her thumb.

  "Probably this is the feeling!"

The    coin spun and landed on the girl's thumb.

   The next moment, an orange ray of light violently separated the air like a long spear, and it was like a huge laser. In the blink of an eye, it wiped and whistled past Kamijou Touma's cheek!

   Just like thunder, it took a while to hear the rumbling sound, sweeping through the nearby buildings under the night sky. The shock wave that broke the sky hit Kamijou's ear, causing him to lose his sense of balance for a while.

   The spiky-haired boy shook twice, and while his mind went blank, he also subconsciously turned his head and glanced behind him.

  The moment the orange light touched the road of the iron bridge, it was like a forced landing at sea, turning the asphalt on both sides up. The orange light that destroyed all objects within a line of thirty meters left an afterimage in the air even after it stopped.

  The iron bridge made of steel bars and cement is now shaking violently like a floating suspension bridge, and there are sounds of metal anchors breaking and flying.

  "Sorry, I would like to ask, is there any place in Academy City that can be rented, and what are the requirements?"

   And next to the afterimage left in the air, just walking up from under the dam next to him, the unfamiliar young man asked slowly and politely.

   Even if the violent flash of the railgun just flew past him, he did not change his face, as if turning a blind eye, and asked the spiky-haired boy directly.

  "This, this..."

   Kamijou Touma originally felt a chill as if all the blood vessels in his body were injected with dry ice, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel stunned.

   He subconsciously answered the question, making gestures almost instinctively, pointing the way to this passerby who doesn’t know if he was neurotic or what, although his head was still dizzy, and he couldn’t understand the situation. Feel.

  “…”

  “…”

   The brown-haired **** the opposite side stayed where she was, keeping her right hand flexing her fingers, as if her brain had shut down, and she couldn't react at all.

   She originally wanted to use this railgun as an opening, and then she would have a good fight with the opposite hedgehog, but what happened? Just like in those movies and animations, the most royal and **** battle has begun, and the powerful protagonist has just unleashed an earth-shattering ultimate move...

  Then...

   A passerby entered randomly, taking advantage of the gap between zooming in and asking the protagonist for directions?

What are you doing   ! The Wang Dao hot blood show suddenly turned into a nonsensical and funny show!

  Because the well-brewed atmosphere was directly destroyed, the lines I thought were stuck in my throat, and the lightning gun that I was going to continue to release was not able to shoot out. At this moment, Misaka Mikoto is not good. Yes, there is a kind of messy feeling in the wind.

   and saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, Kamijou Touma's subconscious only thought this scene was ridiculous and funny, and even wanted to laugh out loud.

  "Thank you for bothering you..."

   The magician quickly got the answer he wanted, nodded politely to the boy Kamijou and the girl with brown hair, and walked towards the other side of the bridge.

   walked right past the stunned brown-haired girl...

   Misaka Mikoto also turned back subconsciously, watching the figure of this person gradually walk away, her head was full of question marks, is this some kind of foreign tourist?
