Stray Chapter 36: The rules of the rivers and lakes

Because Kuroko died... ah, no, it's because Tokiwadai's school rules are very strict, and the dormitory also has strict access control.

Not only getting up, breakfast, but also turning off the lights and going to bed is also very strict. If you want to go out at night after the access control time, you need to have the signature of a full 10 cadres such as the dormitory. Just an application.

Although Misaka Mikoto is one of the only seven LV5s in Academy City, as a superpower, she has the power to easily overwhelm the modern army, but she still does not dare to lick the tiger's beard in the face of the master of the house.

So in the end, the tea-haired girl could only endure her anger and huddle in the dormitory, praying that when she finds her way there tomorrow, it would be better for that ignorant guy to refresh in that area instead of shifting his position. ...

Otherwise, she would be really clueless.

I've never tried to be so angry that after reacting, Misaka Mikoto was really bad, so angry that her chest hurts, and even her body was shaking slightly.

I was angry at the other party's arrogance and arrogance, and I was angry at my own stupidity at the time. Even when that guy appeared behind me so carelessly, I was completely unable to wake up in time! He also invited the other party to drink in a confused way, and was kicked out by the guard robot under the watchful eye of the other party...

Obviously the other party is the suspect!

Arrogant! Too arrogant! At this time, it's not easy to say anything, and Misaka Mikoto doesn't think that the guy was lining up to buy drinks in compliance with the law, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, the more he felt that the guy was blatantly mocking herself and others. !

Especially in the middle of the night, I suddenly received a call from Saten Leiko, saying that the two people on the opposite side finally responded, and when there was a major discovery...

Although I knew that my friends didn't mean that, I was probably tortured by the scorching heat to the point where I almost had a heat stroke, and my head was dizzy, so I didn't feel like myself until now, and the sudden reaction was not intentional. A knife or something...

But Misaka Mikoto, who was already extremely aggrieved, still felt that she almost couldn't lift it up in one breath.

……

……

However, it was also late at night.

In a certain facility in Academy City, in a room similar to a conference room, in a dimly lit environment, many shadowy figures appeared in the reflection of the projected white light, which seemed to be holding a meeting. an emergency meeting.

As the main light source of this dark space, there appeared a photo that Xia Ran might find very strange, although the young man with long black hair and a gentle smile was actually himself.

However, people are actually relatively unfamiliar with their appearance, and Xia Ran is no exception. He rarely pays attention to his appearance, and often forgets what he looks like.

This photo is a record taken by the air loop, uploaded to the library by Aleister, and encrypted by himself...

It's just that it seems that the chairman's encryption is not so trustworthy, or that his encryption is just a pretense to mislead others, so it only appears here now.

"There is no ranking, the ability level is not clear at the moment, and the specific test has not been done..." A figure participating in the meeting stood up and said loudly to the people around him, "The code name is "Feng Lingyueying", but The exact meaning is still unclear, and we are stepping up our investigation..."

"But in any case, this is an extremely rare opportunity. This material is suspected to be a rare multi-ability person. His existence has completely subverted our previous research results and principles of "superpower". The most extreme example! "

The others were silent for a moment, seemingly looking at each other in the dimly lit environment, trying to see each other's expressions.

However, the silence was quickly broken, and the voices of whispers sounded. Some people were able to keep calm, but some people's voices were more or less frenzied.

"Multiple abilities..."

"Impossible! Incredible!"

"Each person can only have one ability!"

Gradually and inevitably, some voices of doubt began to appear.

Because everyone here clearly understands some basic principles of superpowers, the 1.8 million powers in this city in the past, from the atmospheric system, the flesh system, the electronic control system, and the space movement system, As well as a variety of rough and unclassified ability types, it can be said to be all-encompassing.

But when there are so many possibilities, when they correspond to specific abilities, they only represent one possibility.

Psychic power is psychic power, and the ability to ignite is the ability to ignite. No one can master more than two different abilities at the same time.

Therefore, they all subconsciously questioned this situation that had never happened before, wondering if it was even possible, or maybe it was simply fake.

"I know the doubts in your hearts, but this should not be fake news. The chairman is very careful to hide it. If it weren't for me being more concerned about certain things during this time, I probably wouldn't have discovered his actions..."

The figure of the man who stood up looked around and waited for everyone to discuss it for a while. After the whispering gradually subsided, he continued to speak confidently.

"We all know that the essence of ability development is actually to affect the microscopic world through the "Personal Reality" in the brain, and to amplify the impact due to chaos theory, thus forming superpowers..."

The superpower developed by Academy City is a major breakthrough in the theory of quantum mechanics.

To put it bluntly, superpower is actually a human-controllable observer effect. Through "reality that only belongs to oneself", that is, the reality observed through deliberately distorted computing function and judgment ability, the extreme microscopic world Unnatural changes in probability that create certain phenomena.

Because of this, the burden of multiple abilities on the mind is too great, and even if there is a personal reality, there is often only one kind. There is often only one cognition.

Even with a distorted viewing angle, only one world can be observed.

That's all.

So each ability person has only one ability, and it is impossible to have more than two superpowers at the same time. And the abilities that have been developed cannot be changed, even if the brain is transplanted...

"But, since superpowers come from personal reality and affect the microscopic world, what if superpowers themselves are the type to control that cat?"

The man said loudly, looked around, and was satisfied to see these like-minded colleagues let out a low inhalation sound at the same time, feeling that their eyes were shining in the dark.

"Superpower itself is the type of interference quantum uncertainty?"

"Is this really possible? It's so strange! Which came first, the chicken or the egg..."

This time it wasn't just the whispers. There was obviously a commotion in the conference room. They probably didn't expect to get such an answer. They were all taken aback for a while. Although the superpower itself is very strange, is this situation even the logical order is reversed?

"Theoretically speaking, if a person with ability can freely control the observer effect, then the nature of his personal reality may be "amorphous" and "uncertain", and it can change according to needs, triggering the microscopic world. All kinds of phenomena..."

The man manipulated the projection and released a text description next to the photo——

"It is not limited to a single ability such as power generation, ignition or psychic power, but can be shaped into any type, imitating the ability of any ability person... This is the most intuitive way to reveal the essence of the ability person. The source of super powers, the possibility of all super powers from the system!"

He put his hands on the table and stared at everyone with sharp and frenzied eyes, making everyone else feel an inexplicable sense of oppression and excitement—

"Think about it, as long as we study and analyze this body, we can find the logic and laws at the bottom of the superpower! Do you understand the meaning of this matter?!"

“…”

“…”

"Of course we understand, but... where is the chairman?"

Among the people who looked at each other, someone asked such a question.

"There is nothing to be afraid of, as long as you hold back a little in other aspects, so that our chairman has no time to take care of this matter..."

The man smiled confidently, knowing that since they asked such a question, it actually means that they are tempted-

"While the layout of Aleister has not been completed, we can strive to successfully "recover" the body tomorrow. Considering that the body is a unique multi-ability person, even if there is no Level 5 literacy judgment, as long as The different abilities he can simulate and reproduce are level 4, which is very annoying. "

"So the recovery work is not something that ordinary reaction troops can do. It is necessary to use the capable ones to defeat the capable ones, so I plan to entrust this matter to the members of the Anbu organization "Item", and let them do it on their behalf... "

The man talks confidently, feeling that he has no plans, everything has been considered, and there will never be a problem.

Even if that one-of-a-kind multi-ability person can reproduce all the recorded ability types so far, and the power and comprehensive interference coefficient can reach the level of Level 4, he must be determined to win it!

This wave is stable!

……

……

The next morning.

The morning sun has just risen above the horizon.

"Today's Academy City is also a peaceful day..." The magician holding a cup of tea and watching the city's prosperity in the morning from the balcony said this in a leisurely tone, but in the words The words are filled with a sense of discomfort.

He didn't sleep all night, and of course he didn't need to sleep.

A normal person sleeps, isn't it the most basic activity cycle in millions of years?

So Xia Ran is only trying at night, can he wake up from this unreal dream, just like before, when the calm water surface is broken, the reflected illusory image is fragmented, and naturally he can see it again reality.

Although it was only for a brief moment, it was so short that even he couldn't react.

But Xia Ran still wants to work hard to see if she can find the law or something, at least the initiative to dream or not is in her own hands...

Then the night passed.

Whether it was the second magic or any other means, he had tried it all, and he was about to try to shake the physical laws and cosmological constants of the whole world, but in the end he didn't do it.

It's not because the preparation and activation of the spells are very troublesome, nor is it because the final conscience is unwilling to affect others, but because the world has been distorted countless times, it is superimposed on the laws of physics The result is that many heavy aspects are finally established.

The layers of filters are the result of the distortion of the world by the demons of the past, and now they have not disappeared, and still exist in this world.

Although they also did not break through the limits of the universe, so they are not considered to be the level of the true gods of the multiverse, but their power and scale are absolutely beyond the demigods, at least equivalent to grasping the personality and authority of part of the true gods, magicians do not want to Arm wrestling with them at this time.

There is no chance of winning against the previous one, let alone a bunch of them...

So that's it, early in the morning, Xia Ran, who felt that she had been foolishly fighting with the air for a whole night, took her tea and walked out to the balcony, looking at the morning with some unhappiness and some melancholy. Academy City in between.

"Hello!"

A faint voice came from downstairs, as if trying to get his attention.

It's just that Xia Ran was distracted at this time. His eyes wandered aimlessly among the buildings, roads, and various railroads and automatic robots in the city. , I don't know what I'm thinking.

The second method is not very good, and the connection of space seems to be cut off...

"Hey, did you hear that?! Come down and open the door!" The voice downstairs grew louder and more obvious.

The magician's eyes are still a little dazed, it seems that his focus is not in front of him, he raised the teacup and took a sip, thinking seriously in his mind, what should I do next if I can't find the law, even though it seems that time is not problem, but this is not the way to go.

After all, he can't be immersed in this abnormal long dream all the time, and he always has to wake up.

"Hey! You bastard! Did you ever—hear!!!"

It was almost unbearable, as if I could hear the roar of grinding teeth, it resounded almost on the entire residential street, and the decibel was so high that it could break through the sky.

But don't worry, you can wait and see for a while, will you "illness" attack and get lost directly into another world...

If this is the case, you don't need to think about doing things in this world, and you don't need to think about creating, destroying, and resetting the universe. Just thinking about it makes you feel troublesome. …

Carelessly looking back, the thoughts in Xia Ran's mind are still running, but she also noticed the voice downstairs, glanced casually, and found that two girls were standing downstairs, wearing logistics uniforms , wearing the hat of a delivery company worker.

One is relatively tall and the other is petite and cute, so even in the dress of such an unattractive staff member, she still looks youthful and energetic.

It's just that they all have black faces now, staring at the ignorant guy upstairs with an extremely annoyed look.

"What, are you talking to me?" Xia Ran looked down at the two of them from a physical point of view, and said lightly, then raised the cup and took a sip of tea.

Those who know understand that he is drinking tea, but those who don't know will probably think that he is like an aloof king, savoring the precious red wine in his hands, and looking at them contemptuously at the same time.

Well, maybe it's an illusion, but this understatement and indifferent attitude is really annoying!

“…”

“…”

I have been shouting at the top of my voice since just now, and my throat is now a little hoarse, but in exchange for such two girls who treat me too much, they are almost silent for a while, after they glanced at each other , secretly clenched their fists, and made a tacit decision.

The original plan was to pretend to be a courier and trick the target person into coming out, and then they were directly caught, put in a sack and kidnapped.

Simple and rude, the advantage is that it is fast and neat. Once successful, there is no need for conflict, and the task can be completed smoothly without harming the target person - the employer's requirements are not only to live It's as simple as possible, and it also requires as little damage to the target as possible.

Only a complete living body can support various experiments and analyses. Human cloning technology is not mature enough to fully reproduce all the qualities and abilities of a normal body. There is only one case of multiple abilities at present, and there will be no more after death. .

But now they feel that even if the plan is successful and smooth later, they must put this guy in the sack and punch him hard.

Because she knew the character of the dark-faced Mai Ye Shiri next to her, and knew that there was no way to expect the boss to continue to play the role of courier, Frenda Severen took a deep breath and looked up. Looking at the figure on the balcony upstairs, showing the cute face under the hat, squeezed out a professional smirk.

That is a very sweet and cute smile. I think anyone who sees it will have a +10 initial impression. After all, such a cute and cute girl:

"Hello, you are Mr. Xia, we have your stuff here..."

She raised the small box in her hand, and at the same time gestured to the pile of boxes and bags next to her. After all, they had to do a full set of the show. There was a minivan parked behind them. The door was open, and there were other boxes stacked inside. Really professional looking.

At first glance, it looks flawless, and even their own existence is nothing in this city.

This is a city of schools after all. More than 80% of the residents are students. Especially in the summer vacation, there is absolutely no problem in encountering students as staff members in any job position, and it cannot be regarded as a loophole.

"Delivery at the door."

Xia Ran said calmly.

“…”

“…”

"This, this, you have more things, and they seem to be more important. Do you think it would be better to come down?"

Flanda laughed dryly, carefully looked at the expression of Mai Ye Shenli next to him, and found that the other party's face was getting darker and darker. He could only bite the bullet and continue to try to instigate the target person to come down and open the door, which could be resolved peacefully. Why are things fought and killed?

You cooperate a little bit, come down and be brought down and kidnapped by our sap, wouldn't it be better to suffer less?

"A lot and more important?" Xia Ran nodded thoughtfully, "I see, the courier is at the door."

“…”

“…”

"Forget it, don't talk to him so much..." Mai Ye Shenli tore off his hat impatiently, and the next moment, a pure white light beam released by lightning strikes forward with terrifying power With a savage collision, the metal can be blown away like confetti, the thick walls can be dissolved, and it can also penetrate through the cover and the opponent's body.

Of course, she was still measured. Instead of aiming at the person on the balcony, she launched the atomic collapse ability at the buildings below.

With a rumbling muffled sound, the magician on the balcony found that the angle of his body was slightly tilted.

However, the house was not completely destroyed, and soon came to a standstill.

"If you want to survive, come down and follow us honestly, or I'll do it myself..." The girl with a tall and slender figure and long soft and flowing brown hair said this with violent eyes and a gloomy tone.

"Let's change another one. If you want to survive, you can turn around and leave now, and I won't care, how about that?"

The magician smiled slightly, knowingly said such a question, he knew that the other party could not obey obediently.

"Axe helped the big brother take a nap inside, who is not afraid of death to take a step forward?"

“…”

“…”

"Frenda! Do it!"

Mai Ye Shenli sneered, she took a step forward, and Flanda sighed helplessly and walked forward.

"Ah, that means there is no negotiation... Okay, the rules of the world—"

Xia Ran threw the cup directly behind her, spread her hands, and said of course: "You want to hit ten!"

"What?"

Mai Ye Shenli was stunned for a moment, but the next moment he felt a warning sign, he subconsciously dodged, and a pure white lightning spear almost wiped her body and whizzed past.

"You bastard! I finally caught me!" The voice of gnashing teeth came, and a girl with brown hair quickly approached from a distance.

"Misaka Mikoto!" Mai Ye Shiri also shouted angrily.

"You really know me!" Misaka Mikoto looked at the long-haired boy in front and called out her name, and suddenly became even more angry, "You really did have a plan yesterday! Damn! I will never forgive me. I got you!"

"What yesterday?" Mai Ye Shenli was stunned.
