Stray Chapter 44: Neither miracle nor magic exists

   Misaka Mikoto and Saten Leiko couldn't help but get nervous. They pricked up their ears with all their concentration, and their eyes were also staring at Kanzaki Kaori.

How did    suddenly become such a terrible topic?

   to erase the memory of the man named Index, but the two of them still came out of good intentions? Because if you don't do that, that person named Index will... can't live?

   This is too great, and... erasing memory, or dying, this choice is a bit too heavy. Although they live in Academy City, they have not really touched the world after all. The dark girl seems so far away.

   "Since you know the special features of Index, then you should understand that for a girl of her age, it would be a An impossible task, but she did it..."

  Kanzaki Kaori is reluctant to recall such a terrible thing, but there is no other way. He can only explain it as clearly as possible, hoping to understand it with emotion and reason, so that the person in front of him can understand their difficulties and the need for action, at least not to hinder them.

   "She copied and kept in her mind the original book of magic books that were sealed around the world. She was a magic book library that copied and preserved the knowledge of the original books. She was taught a heavy mission. Such a person is called ** The directory is the origin of her name..."

  ——Magic Book?

  ——103,000 copies?

  ——** directory?

   Probably because of the strange nouns popping up one by one, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help raising her eyebrows and looked around subconsciously, wondering if she had heard it wrong, or if this group of people were deliberately playing tricks together Own.

   She found that the tall and slender girl who said this naturally didn't need to say it, and her expressions were all natural, not like the bluntness of reading lines or the appearance of a secondary illness.

   But this doesn't explain anything, because in the eyes of the brown-haired girl, Kanzaki Kaori itself is very unique in appearance, wearing a white T-shirt tied at the waist, and a denim cover on the outside. Jacket with ripped jeans on the lower body.

   The right arm part of the coat was cut off together with the shoulder, while the jeans were cut off from the left thigh, revealing the whole white thigh, with a very high degree of color.

   This is actually because of the asymmetrical balance between the left and right, which is quite effective for the composition of the spell, so Kanzaki Kaori uses it, not intentionally to expose the body curve. The principle is just like the players in the game. As long as the rating of a certain piece of equipment is a little higher, they will wear it without hesitation.

   No matter how weird that piece of equipment is, or how unusual the shape is, these are not things that players need to consider, they always start from pragmatism... So that's why "please players in the cutscenes" Dress at least like a person" situation arises.

  The situation is similar, Kanzaki Kaori is basically for this reason, but Misaka Mikoto doesn't know, she just thinks this girl's clothes are very "erotic"...

  As a girl who can wear safety pants under her skirt, Misaka Mikoto is actually a pretty conservative good boy, so she naturally thinks Kanzaki Kaori is not too serious. Dressed in such a style, even if it is not the late second stage of the disease, it must be killing the Matt nobleman. Maybe it is a bit abnormal.

   making such a judgment, the brown-haired girl turned her gaze to Stiyl again, and found that the latter also had the same look, and seemed to take these things for granted.

   Well, no, this bad red-haired priest can't be trusted. After all, his appearance is even worse. As a clergyman, his hands are full of rings as if to show off his wealth. , the ears are also covered with earrings, and there are fashionable QR code tattoos on the face, and the smell of nicotine and perfume on the body can smother people...

   And Misaka Mikoto didn't forget that this two-meter-tall bad priest was only fourteen years old. After all, they were there that day, and it was not surprising to know the news, so a person of this age is a middle school two. Sickness is normal, right?

   denied the two people in a row, without being able to get confirmation from the other party, Misaka Mikoto looked at Xia Ran with a thoughtful expression, and then directly looked away.

   Then.

   She was relieved to find that the friend next to her, Satian Leiko also had doubts on her face, her eyes were a little dazed, and it seemed that she could not understand just like herself... It seems that she was not alone in the problem, but It's these people who have problems!

  Misaka Mikoto seemed to be certain, she folded her arms around her chest, and nodded with confidence.

  "She has a very special physique and has the ability to completely remember. Whether she expects it or not, she will stuff everything in front of her into her head..."

   At this time, Kanzaki Kaori was still talking about Index, not knowing that someone had just given her a very rude slander.

   This girl "Saint" has a weak voice and a helpless appearance, just like a tired ordinary girl: "Whether it is a pedestrian on the road, or how many leaves are on the roadside tree, no matter how complicated things are , as long as she sees it once, she will remember it all and will not forget it... The leaves of every street tree, the faces of everyone in the crowd, the shape of every raindrop that falls from the sky, whether she likes it or not, she can't forget it." /

   When he said this, he paused for a while, and Kanzaki Kaori raised his tired eyes.

   She found that Stiyl was still silent, still maintaining the same cold iron expression as before, as if her heart was completely closed, while the two girls stared slightly. Her eyes widened and she looked very surprised, as if she was stunned and shocked by what she just said.

   As for the boy in front of him, he couldn't help frowning at this moment, as if I heard something that surprised him.

   seems to have understood the situation.

   As if mocking something, and as if mocking himself, Kanzaki Kaori twitched the corners of his mouth to reveal a contemptuous and ugly smile: "Surprise? But yes, it's true..."

  "Well, I'm a little surprised. I thought you were going to spend a lot of time trying to say something very special. Shouldn't this kind of thing be something that everyone can do?"

  Xia Ran nodded again and again to this, and said this in agreement, but while he agreed, he frowned and looked like he didn't understand the situation.

  "Is it a very special talent to be able to mentally calculate "1+1=2"? Isn't it possible for everyone to do it?"——Although he didn't say that, his expression was a matter of course. Saying this, he casually stabbed everyone with precision.

  “…”

  “…”

   Cold Field Aura! start up!

   The scene was silent and silent. It seemed that all the voices were directly killed. At this moment, many people felt complicated and didn't know what to say.

   is hard! Hard!

   fist hard!

  's fair and slender five fingers clenched into fists tightly, Kanzaki Kaori took a deep breath several times, trying his best not to bother with this person and not to get angry.

   She focused her attention and thoughts on the words she just organized and what she wanted to say, and only then did she reawaken the emotions that she had just brewed, instead of being swayed by the light words that accompanied the atmosphere she had just created. Destroyed.

   "That's it anyway. She remembers things differently than we do. What she has is a complete memory ability, that is, the ability to never forget something once she has seen it. However, this is not a good thing, because It is necessary to forget this behavior."

  "The human brain is actually smaller than we think. Our brain can continue to operate for nearly a hundred years because the brain can constantly organize memories and forget useless memories. If you don't do that, you can't go on living."

   "But she can't do this, she can't forget anything, so her brain will be filled with these garbage memories in a short time, 85% of her brain capacity has been used up Yu memorized the 103,000 magic books, and only 15% of them can be used..."

   Probably out of fear that someone would disrupt the atmosphere again, Kanzaki Kaori spoke very quickly this time, speaking for a long time like a cannonball, and then stopped.

   Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her voice gradually became cold: "So, if she can't forget herself, we must rely on external forces to help her forget and sort out those useless memories - otherwise, she will die."

  “…”

  “…”

  The air became icy cold, and the scorching heat of midsummer was descending for no reason on this empty rooftop.

   After being silent for a while, Kanzaki Kaori stared at the magician and said seriously: "Now, do you know why we do this? I really hope you can understand, I don't want to say magic Name..."

   Maybe there is no chance of winning, but if the other party wants to interfere with him in this matter, then Kanzaki Kaori also has the determination to give up.

   "Got it..." Xia Ran exhaled and nodded thoughtfully, "Sure enough, no culture, it's really scary."

   "It's good to know, so I hope you...hope you...wait, what did you say?" Kanzaki Kaori just breathed a sigh of relief, and continued on the topic just now. He wanted to make a request, but he Suddenly I realized that something was not quite right, and it was only after realizing it that I reacted.

   "If you say you have no culture, you really dare to believe anything." The magician shook his head with a contemptuous expression on his face, "This kind of flawed statement can actually deceive you, I really feel quite Surprised..."

  “What, what?”

   The girl "Saint" was full of stunned and unresponsive confusion. What is going on here is completely different from what she said.

  "Who told you guys, go away, I changed my mind and don't plan to be friends with stupid people like you..."

   The magician waved his hands in disgust, turned around and left, putting on his pants...cough cough, he was quite decisive and resolute to stop the loss in time when the situation was not right, and he had no plans to give it to new friends at all. Chances of pulling down his average IQ.

  "I, I...not, this..."

  The messy Kanzaki Kaori stretched out her palm, but she didn't know what to say. She couldn't understand what was going on right now.

   obviously said it well, why did he suddenly turn his face and ruthless? Didn't you say you wanted to be my friend?

   Stiyl also had a dull expression.

  "Hey! Wait..."

   Even Misaka Mikoto was almost unable to come back to her senses. When she looked back, she found that the man was standing neatly in the elevator room, reached out and pressed the floor button, and the elevator door began to slowly close. .

   She hurriedly pulled Saten Leiko and quickly followed.

  “…”

  “…”

  The air is quiet again, and the wind on the roof is a little strong.

   The two magicians stood there dumbfounded, feeling that the whole person was not good. The emotions they had just brewed, the awareness and determination they made again, etc., etc., these things are the same as just now. The atmosphere is the same, it seems to be directly smashed into a smash.

   Well, that guy's incomparably disgusting eyes and undisguised words shattered the things they had.

   It seems that Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl’s heart-wrenching pain, their determination to hurt themselves, and their determination to turn into villains, in his opinion, are hopelessly stupid, and even Too lazy to talk, just turn around and leave——

   This is the main reason that caused the biggest shock to the two of them.

  If Xia Ran denied their persistence all along, and at the same time patiently explained to them that this was a conspiracy of the church, and brought out various scientific theories to try to prove it, then their first reaction would definitely be to reject and refuse to believe.

   is just such a disgusting expression that he doesn't want to say a word to them, but instead makes them feel inexplicably trembling in their hearts, and subconsciously pays attention to what the other party just said.

   is very, very concerned, and there is no way to let it go no matter what.

  "Kanzaki, he...what does he mean? We were deceived by the church...?"

  Stier stared blankly at his companion, he clenched his fists unknowingly, almost crushing his fingernails.

   Speaking of which, he seems to have never thought about one thing, and that is the problem of brain capacity. How did those numbers such as 85% and 15% come out? Index remembered one hundred and three thousand. How much memory is used in the book of magic, and the remaining memory can support a year's memory...

   Whether these information are accurate, and how does the church know.

   did not answer, the girl "Saint" seemed to be in a daze.

  …

  …

  "Hey! Wait! I'm telling you to wait..."

  Because I didn't catch the elevator, I finally waited for the next elevator, and then I had to trot all the way to catch up with the brown-haired girl and the black-haired girl who had been pulled away earlier, and finally caught up with the girl who was returning home The magician couldn't help but gasp for breath.

  "Hey, it's you guys, good morning."

   was looking down to check the results of the camera in his hand, when Xia Ran heard the sound and looked back, she said lightly, and raised her hand to say hello.

   "What do you mean by us, did you only discover us now..." Misaka Mikoto almost didn't come up, she tried her best to endure, but she couldn't help but shouted loudly.

   What the **** is going on with this person?

   "What's the matter, what's the matter?" Xia Ran didn't care and said casually, then he seemed to understand something, looked down at the digital camera in his hand, "If you want the previous photos For the video, I haven't edited it yet, do you want to take it back now?"

   "Who wants this!" Misaka Mikoto preconceived that this was a video photo of the two people she just took, and said without any appreciation.

   "No, that's fine, I hope you don't regret it..." The magician gave her a deep look.

  "Why should I regret these things..." The brown-haired girl replied in disgust, then waved her hand angrily, "Wait, don't interrupt, about the incident just now, you just left? I plan to ignore it. already?"

  "I didn't say no, didn't I say no to them?" Xia Ran said confidently, "Obviously the talk has collapsed, they want me to leave it alone, so I still have to!"

   "Really? That's good..." Misaka Mikoto nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that this person really didn't care, and that girl named Index was too pitiful.

   seemed to think of something again, she frowned, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but asked: "By the way, what magic book, magic, etc. they said just now... are serious ?"

  "Certainly not seriously."

   "Really?" Misaka Mikoto actually thought it couldn't be true, but the person's answer was so fast that she wasn't sure.

   "It's not me, you are so old, it's almost time to accept the reality..." Xia Ran looked at her with pity, "Believe in science, magic and miracles, etc. , how could it possibly exist?"

  “…”

  “…”

   seems to be the truth, but why do you always feel that there is a particularly wrong feeling when these words come out of this person's mouth?

   Misaka Mikoto was still a little unwilling to give up, she thought about it and asked again: "The 'magic name' that girl said...what is it? "

   "Well, modern magicians will engrave their wishes and goals on their souls in Latin. This is the so-called magic name." The magician replied casually. "The name of magic contains the reason for learning magic. Once you report this name to fight, you must hold the corresponding consciousness."

  “…”

  “…”

   So you just told us there is no such thing as magic, let's just believe in science. And then in a blink of an eye, just spread these strange knowledge to us in a serious manner?

  The two girls stared at the young man's face with awe, feeling that they didn't know how to complain.

  Saten Leiko said with tears in her eyes, "Then... what is your magic name, senior? Is there a magic name?"

   In fact, she still doesn't believe it, but she also finds it funny. She thinks that she seems to understand this person's character a little bit, so she also let go a lot and couldn't help but complain.

  “…VICARIUS666.”

   Feeling the "sight" that appeared in the air, Xia Ran blinked.
