Chapter 128: [Secret of the Abyss] Danger Lurks (2)

[2] One side passes

(Forbidden World March 28, 2011, Tuesday, morning; School City)

The one lying on the bed opened his hazy sleepy eyes slightly, and then squinted again because of the bedroom light that had not been extinguished all night. According to the recent requirements of the school city,The dormitory is not allowed to turn off the lights at night.,I don't know what the reason is.。

He turned his head sideways, the quilt on the bed next door was neatly folded, and the young man who slept there thought that he was going out to practice his daily martial arts—it was rare to see someone so disciplined at this age, he thought to himself, especially when there was no external force. He sighed to himself.

A few days before the party, I made an appointment with Mikoto Misaka to visit a museum in the 9th school district today. It was 6:30 a.m., and after he had washed up and dressed, he was just in time to catch the 75-minute tram.

The food served in the dorm cafeteria was pretty good, and he asked for a baked potato wedges omelette with a cappuccino — a drink he had fallen in love with its mellow and slightly bitter flavor after stumbling upon it last month. Breakfast didn't take much of his time, and around seven-ten, he arrived at the nearby tram stop on time.

Today is cloudy, with heavy dark clouds covering the blue sky and filtering out most of the sun. Although the temperature was not low, the wind that blew from time to time made him shiver. There are some slippery traces of water on the ground, and it seems that it rained last night - the weather forecast in the school city has always been accurate, and this is one of the few mistakes he's ever seen.

"Good morning, Misaka-san. ”

"Yo, good morning. ”

The girl with short brown hair walked towards him with a big grin. Because it was a holiday, the other party was not wearing a school uniform today, but a windbreaker over the sky blue long-sleeved shirt, which made people feel eye-catching compared to the usual student dress.

"I heard that you still have to go to the graduate school regularly during spring break?" While waiting for the train to arrive, Mikoto Misaka, who couldn't sit idle—sometimes had a headache with her lively and nagging personality, but sometimes enjoyed chatting with the other party—stared sideways at him and asked, "Is it really necessary for them to force elementary school students to this point?"

"Well...... this"

When it comes to the secret of his own ability development, Ichibantong feels a little hesitant, but the director named Akiyama Sora seems to have said that there is no need to keep it a secret from the girl in front of him. Then again, why would the other party be an exception? You know, even the school files are not allowed to record information about his ability development.

"According to Akiyama-kun, once my ability is awakened, it is likely to be directly at the level of Level 5, and it is the kind that will cause great damage. He didn't dwell on this question, and he wouldn't be able to access some of the secrets for a while anyway, "so it's important to keep an eye on the development process and move to a special site during the awakening to avoid accidents." ”

"Really? You can't brag, right?"

The other party rolled his eyes a little disappreciatively, and his expression was obviously suspicious: "Although you are indeed a scholar...... No, study God, but it's still too exaggerated to become Level 5 all of a sudden. ”

"Well,Actually, I'm a little unconvinced.,After all, there's an example of working hard from Level 1 to Level 3 and near Level 4.,It doesn't seem fair to go to the sky in one step.。 At this, the girl in front of him glared at him with a reddish and angry face, but he didn't care, "But from a rationalist point of view, I can't convince myself not to believe them when the institute puts detailed experimental data, especially data and graphs, in front of me. ”

The tram slowly pulled into the platform as he said this, so he decided to stop talking about reason and the scientific method and get on the train with the girl next to him. Considering that there were other passengers in the car, when Mikoto Misaka tried to continue the conversation, he decisively rejected her with his eyes and gestures.

District 9 is a school district with a concentration of arts and crafts-related schools, and the art museum they are going to is located right in the center of the school district, not far from the station where they get off the train. This museum is quite famous in the school city, and some time ago it is said that it also has a collection of relics from ancient civilizations that have not yet been confirmed, and it is out of curiosity that they chose to visit there.

Although Gakuen City is known for its science and technology that is far ahead of the rest of the world, it does not mean that it is not at nothing in the fields of social sciences and humanities. In fact, thanks to advanced detection and analysis techniques, many world-renowned archaeologists and historians will apply to exchange or borrow equipment from the school.

"Of course I knew that this personal information shouldn't be talked about in the car, but I just couldn't help it. After getting off the train, Mikoto Misaka didn't forget to explain the previous incident to him, and then took his hand, "So let's go quickly, okay? It's a holiday, and there will be a lot of people visiting when it's late, and there will be a long queue at that time. ”

To the surprise of one side, when they trotted all the way to the entrance of the museum, they were greeted by a blockade of guards and fan commissioners, rather than the museum gate ready to open.

"Are you going to visit? Excuse me. A security officer near the perimeter noticed them and walked over, and at this time, Fang Tong noticed that there were a large number of lights that had been turned off at the scene, "Due to some accidents, the museum is closed to the public today. ”

"Excuse me, can you tell us what's going on?"

"I'm sorry, little ones, but the orders from above are not working. The other party shook his head and crossed his hands in front of him, tiredness was evident in his resolute gaze, "If it's nothing, you better leave as soon as possible." ”

This is the end of the plan to visit the museum. Although Fang Tong felt disappointed, he was helpless about it.

"Well, Misaka, what's next?" he turned to the somewhat sullen girl, "going to the planetarium or the biopark in School District 21?" or to school District 15?"

The two school districts are located next to their 9th school district, the former is the only area in the school city with mountains and water, and is famous for the study of flora and fauna and astronomy, and the latter is a rather prosperous commercial district, where many of the current popular elements originate.

"Hmm...... In that case, it seems like a good idea to go to the mall. Mikoto Misaka muttered in a low voice, suddenly raising her head to look at him, "I just don't know if you're interested in this kind of thing." ”

"Eh, what do you say?" he was stunned as he was drinking water, "Is this a strange proposal?"

"Well, don't you generally say that boys are not interested in what girls are looking at?" The girl's face was slightly red, but a pair of brown pupils lit up, "Hmm, I suddenly found that Fang Jun looked quite cute...... How do you say it, it seems to be called a woman's clothes, right?"

"Ahem, ahem...... This, this, this kind of thing ......" Fang Tong choked on a mouthful of water, and the girl next to him leaned over and patted him on the back with an apologetic face, "How could Misaka-san, think about this!"

He recalled the discussion of the phenomenon of "rotten women" when he studied psychology books last month, and he was immediately scared into a cold sweat. Could it be that the elementary school girl in front of her has already made up his and Yun Chengyu's brains in his mind...... What a terrible Lori!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I suddenly remembered the comic book I read recently. Your face is very ugly, did you hurt your trachea when you coughed?"

"No...... It's nothing, thank you for your concern. So he thought too much, and Fang Tongtong's face turned red, as if he was the guy with a full mind, "Well, let's go, the next tram will be almost there." ”
