Stray Chapter 31: The troubles of tying down the light

   Not to mention the strange expression of Kiebiao Danxi, at least Index was really stunned by Xia Ran.

  "Really, really? I...I don't seem to have any impression..."

   She was a little unsure, and looked at the magician in front of her with half-belief, but if she wasn't sure, she didn't directly deny it, and half-belief meant she was shaken.

   The person in front of him shouldn't be from the magical world, right? There doesn't seem to be that kind of magician's breath on her body, and she doesn't feel that there is such a danger of targeting, no hostility or murderousness... Of course, Index is not too sure.

   She also knows that she can't make judgments based on her feelings. After all, this is something that involves her own life, but she has no choice.

   This person appeared directly in front of him, or he ran into this person just after he came out of that guy's house, and it was too late to run away, no matter whether what the other party said was true or not, At present, she can only push the boat and deal with the opponent first.

  "Of course it's true..."

  Xia Ran said with a smile, and naturally reached out and touched the silver-haired nun's head: "But I don't remember it? It's really sad to say that, Index, it's only been over a year. You actually forgot in the blink of an eye..."

   "No, no, there is actually a reason for this, I am... I am..." Index was really panicked. Could it be that what this person said was true?

  Have you been to this city before?

   also met each other?

   But, I don't have any memories of a year ago!

  "Huh? Isn't it a joke?" Xia Ran's acting skills are very superb, and the look of doubt on his face is just right, he took a step back and looked at the silver-haired little nun carefully, "I shouldn't have mistaken anyone, you It seems that there has been no change in the past year, and the clothes are still the same as last time..."

   Behind him, Yubiao Danxi strained her expression, trying to maintain her indifferent personality.

   It just seems to be really difficult.

   "Hey, something doesn't seem right. Did you change your clothes?" It seemed that she just discovered something, Xia Ran shook her head with a dumb smile, "What the **** are you wearing? Still an iron maid, why so many pins..."

   The pure white monastic uniform that Index was wearing appeared to be unchanged on the surface, but it was actually filled with dozens of safety pins, which were pinned to every corner of the clothes. , reflecting the sparkling metallic light in the sun on the first day of summer vacation.

  "Well..."

   It's okay not to say this. Speaking of this, Index couldn't help but think of what happened not long ago. She bit her lip hard and made a sound like a puppy bit someone and wouldn't let go. The same voice seemed to be both aggrieved and sad.

  "What's the matter? Your clothes are like this, you don't have a hat, you look like you're in a hurry to go out?"

  The magician still maintains the acting skills of the best actor, he said with a smile, as if he was really a long-lost friend, he warmly and actively sent an invitation: "Do you want me to help? Just like last time, bring Would you like to visit the city, or take you to buy new clothes?"

  "I...I...I don't need this..."

  Index opened her mouth, her expression a little tangled.

   It seems that this person is indeed not malicious, and it is indeed a friend that she made in this city when she lost her memory, not a magician who came to chase her, which made her feel a little at ease. But she still didn't dare to accept it like this, and still subconsciously wanted to keep a certain distance.

   One is because the matter has not been fully confirmed, and the other is that she does not want to involve the other party~IndoMTL.com~Receive a red envelope] Follow the public.. Public account [Book Friends Base Camp~IndoMTL.com~ The maximum draw is 888 Cash red envelopes!

   is like the spiky-haired boy who destroyed the "Mobile Church" on his body just now. He seemed to realize something at the end, probably because his special hand really did not help the "Mobile Church" There is a reaction, which in turn is equivalent to proving the existence of the power of magic.

   So the spiky-haired boy also began to seriously think about the possibility of what Index said, such as her saying that she was chased by a magician and fell from the roof of the building.

   For example, she said she had to continue to run for her life.

   At that time, the spiky-haired boy no longer wanted to drive her out, but faintly hoped that she would stay and be protected... But Index left the apartment resolutely, because she knew That young man couldn't protect her, and she might have affected the other party if she stayed.

   The situation is also the same now. If the person in front of him is a friend he knew before, then Index will not be able to implicate him.

   "What's the matter?" The magician tilted his head and asked in confusion.

  "I...I..."

  Index felt that she was too difficult, how should I say this? Those magicians are likely to be on their way at this moment. They can follow the magic of the "moving church" on their bodies and accurately track their positions.

  The longer the delay, the greater the risk will be...

  Wait!

  The silver-haired nun suddenly remembered something, raised her hands in a little panic, and touched her head, just as the person in front of her said, she was not wearing her hat... It seems to be the accident not long ago , let her drop her hat in that apartment.

  "What's wrong? Index."

   At this time, Xia Ran, like a savior who just happened to appear at a critical moment, showed a concerned expression to the silver-haired little nun.

   And behind him, the girl with red double ponytails looked at him with more subtle and vigilant eyes, as if she was looking at rotten cabbage.

   Although she still doesn't know what's going on, it doesn't prevent her from seeing it. This guy seems to have a lot of information, and the silver-haired nun opposite has some problems, so she has no intention of doing calculations. , ignorantly got into the set.

   Vigilance is warranted, as well as suspicion.

   But it doesn't make any sense. The other party knows her well, but she is completely unsure of the other party, and as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, how mature can she be?

   But the only thing that is certain is that this person has no morals at all!

  …

  …

   Mizuho Institutional Hospital.

   This is a single ward, the air is full of the unique smell of the hospital, the window beside the bed is open, and the pure white curtains sway in the wind.

   The tall red-haired man was lying on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling blankly and blankly, without saying a word, his face was bandaged, and the same was true on his arms, looking a little serious, in fact Not to the point of breaking the bones.

   It's just not a slight scratch or something, it's embarrassing to not go up or down, so that's the only way to deal with it.

  Stier originally wanted to refuse, but in the end he let the people in the hospital do this. After all, wouldn't it be more embarrassing if he didn't appear to be seriously injured? It's like if you cut your finger, you have to make a big deal of it and send it to the hospital bed...

   Fortunately, this is Academy City, the world on the science side, not his main circle. Otherwise, the bad priest thinks he will find a crack in the ground to get in.

   Of course, he also feels very sad now, because after all, an acquaintance knows about this embarrassing thing.

   A tall, fair-skinned girl with long black hair tied into a ponytail that hangs down to her waist is standing quietly in front of his hospital bed. She is another person in the white ward.

   She was wearing a T-shirt tied at the waist and a pair of jeans. However, the right arm of the jacket was cut off together with the shoulders. On the contrary, the jeans were cut off from the bottom of the left leg, and the color was quite high.

   In addition to the belt that tightens the trousers, there is also a very thick belt hanging diagonally around the waist, just like the kind of belt that is specially used for pistols in Western movies.

   There was also a long two-meter-long object wrapped in cloth, which she held in her hand. It was the Japanese sword "Seven Days Seven Swords" with a length of more than two meters, but obviously, even in the city Academy City of superpowers, this kind of thing is like a firearm, and it is not allowed to sway the market. .

  So at this time, Kanzaki Kaori could only cover up his weapon like this, and then cooperate with some means to enter the hospital.

  “…”

  “…”

  Silence, silence, silence, and an awkward and unspeakable atmosphere permeates the ward.

   probably knew that if it continued like this, Stiyl would not take the initiative to say anything, Kanzaki Kaori breathed out, organized the language, and then asked: "The person who hit you... this city Are you the so-called capable ones?"

  "...Yes, it is said to be a suspected level 5 psychic."

  Stiel's eyes, at this moment, is like a passenger who has lost his dream. His eyes have no focus, and his vision seems to have lost focus. He is still staring blankly at the ceiling, but he still answers Kanzaki Fire weave problem.

   "Level 5? That's the strongest group of people with abilities? Why would they attack you?" Kanzaki Kaori frowned, "And those with spiritual abilities... Wait, spiritual abilities. Did he control a large group of people to beat you up?"

  “…”

  “…”

  "He said that he didn't like me, that he didn't like me being so arrogant, and he also said that he would hit me once in the future..."

  Stier's facial muscles twitched a few times, and he seemed to be reluctant to mention such a shameful thing, but there was no way, his companions need to understand the specific process: "He was indeed the person who controlled the entire street at that time. , hundreds of people..."

   "Is that true?" Kanzaki Kaori frowned lightly: "Then your injury... eh? It doesn't seem to be that serious? He really controlled hundreds of people to beat you?"

  "...No, not everyone came to beat me. After all, the scene was very chaotic, there were so many people, and the discipline committee members and security guards rushed over quickly..."

  "How many people beat you?"

  “…”

  “…”

  "...a..."

  Steel suddenly felt that it was not a good thing to have a companion. How could he not find out that Kanzaki was such a troublesome person before?

   "Is that the psychic ability person?" Kanzaki Kaori was a little puzzled, "As far as I know, the only level 5 psychic ability person in this city is a girl, and she is not good at sports and has poor physical fitness. You have no power, how could she beat you like this?"

  "I'm careless, I didn't flash..." Steele argued, "And it's not a girl at all, it's obviously a boy!"

   "Okay, I understand..." Kanzaki Kaori felt a little confused, but seeing that her companion was a little excited, she wouldn't say that she was arguing with him on this kind of thing, she was just a little wary, It doesn't look like a random, low-probability event.

   The other party is very likely to come specifically to Stiyl.

   And a level 5 ability person, can it represent the attitude of the city to a large extent?

   The tacit understanding between the church and this scientific base is about to be broken? Or is it that the person in power in this city has discovered the truth and is unwilling to let himself and others recycle the "** directory"?

  Kanzaki Kaori thought a lot at this moment. Before she and Stiyl came in, they had already communicated with the higher-level organization of the Five Elements in Academy City. After all, even the world's top magicians couldn't hide in the city for a long time without revealing their identities.

   They can move freely, execute plans, and track Index, largely because the Five Elements Agency is turning a blind eye to them. As long as they don't make too much trouble, they won't do it deliberately. hinder their actions.

   So she has reason to think that it is very likely that the Five Elements Agency has discovered something and changed its attitude. If this is the case, then the situation is very urgent.

   At this time, Stiyl was tired and didn't want to discuss this topic that made him feel ashamed and angry. He propped himself up from the bed, looked at Kanzaki Kaori, and asked, "Kanzaki, Did you find her?"

   "...I just discovered her whereabouts, but I received a notice later, so I came to see you first." The female "Saint" was silent for a while, and then said.

   "I have nothing to do, and if you had discovered her at the time, you could have done this first and then come to see me." Stiyl said with narrowed eyes. "The task is the most important thing."

  "...If you thought so, she wouldn't have run away at that time." Kanzaki Kaori said in a mechanical tone, "After all, it was you who was next to her back then..."

  "I'm used to it!"

  The flame magician said coldly, but such a move was more like covering up.

  …

  …

  "Is it here?"

  The elevator made a metallic sound like a microwave oven and stopped on the seventh floor.

   The elevator door rattled and slowly separated to both sides. Xia Ran took the lead out of the corridor, and asked while looking at the environment in front of her.

   This dormitory looks like a typical suite-style apartment. It is a square building with doors neatly lined up along the corridor. The student dormitory is vertical, extending forward, with only two meters between adjacent dormitories.

  If you are a little more adventurous, people can easily jump here from the building opposite.

   "This is it..." Index nodded nervously, and found that there was no one in the corridor, and no enemy was waiting for her, and she was relieved.

   She quickened her pace and walked towards the end of the corridor.

   Then, stopped.

  The door was tightly closed, which was a matter of course. After all, it was not even noon yet, and Kamijou Touma probably just went out.

   "That's it, it looks like the owner is not at home..." Xia Ran followed the silver-haired nun slowly and came to the closed door of the apartment, looking at the scene in front of her, "This is a student In the dormitory, the only people who live here are students, if they are not going to make up classes, or going out to play, we are not here at the right time..."

   As if he didn't know anything, he lowered his head and said to the little nun, "If we wait until the evening, this person will definitely be home by then."

   "No, no... I can't wait that long..." Index shook her head nervously, how could she have time to wait until evening to take away the hat?

   "Is it important?" the magician asked knowingly.

   "It's very important, I have to get it back now!" Index nodded vigorously, expressing her determination.

   "That's it..." Xia Ran smiled helplessly, and said in a very reassuring tone, "Then leave this to me! I will help you get your hat back. !”

  The next moment, he turned his head to look at the tight-faced Yubiao Danxi behind him——

   "Hey, your ability is space movement, right? Come, come, hold hands, go in and take out the hat!"

  “…”

  “…”

  Yubiao Danxi took a deep breath, looked down at the stack of documents he was holding in his arms, and resisted the urge to smash something directly into his face.

   From just now, she has been following this person like a secretary...

   After all, the other party has not filled out this information, and she has no way to go back to hand in the business.

   So how thick is this guy's face! Didn't he realize how much trouble he caused himself? And he just finished his self-imposed handsomeness, and as soon as he turned his head, he naturally ordered himself to come. Does he really feel that he is hard-working and doing errands for him? !
