[3] Akiyama Sora

(Real World, Saturday, March 21, 2015, afternoon; 4th floor, Akiyama Soraya)

Tomoon Nanamiya has completed her high school graduation ceremony and has successfully obtained an admission letter to Kyoto University. Sora Akiyama has no reason to renew the apartment, and if nothing else, his lover will come to Kyoto to live with him.

"Hahaha, you can live with Sora after school starts!"

Looking at the girl who came over and pulled her arms, Sora Akiyama smiled and rubbed the other party's long hair, and then threw her down on the sofa as if viciously. The apartment had been emptied of his belongings, and the last move had been completed this morning, leaving only the furniture that had been there.

Similarly, the second-floor apartment was surrendered because Yuta Tomigashi and Rokuka Kotori were admitted to Tohoku University, while the former's mother and sister settled in Jakarta with their father, and the latter's sister was far away in Europe. In other words, in this world, they will not be able to get together as often as before.

"But there are spiritual networks and demon forbidden worlds! Du Mu and Lu Qingyi, aren't they far away on the other side of the ocean?"

Nanamiya's words sparked his thoughts. The three of Du Mu did not appear in the Demon Forbidden World in the past few months, but entered other worlds, and it is said that they are busy repairing the historical line - according to Xu Mingshan, it is "the pit that I opened, and I have to fill it up while crying". As for the real ones, they have already received an offer from the university and will enroll in September due to the different semester system.

Anyway, the Galactic Federation definitely has some kind of bad taste, right? These strange worlds are definitely deliberately created, right? Could it be that their core consciousness and the strange hobby of guest appearances as the main gods?

"Hee-hee, who knows, just joy is enough anyway. The girl under her writhed restlessly, and suddenly turned over violently and pressed him down, "I didn't expect that from this angle, the empty feeling is still a little cute!"

After laughing and playing for a while, Akiyama and Sora finally got up and went out. Tonight, they meet for dinner with Yuta Tomigashi, Yuroka Kotori, Tanyu Tani Morina, Sanae Takamaru, and Makoto Isshiki and Fennel, who are friends in the real world even though they are not connected to the spiritual network, which is considered the last time they will get together before parting.

"Because Professor Yamada retired from the University of Tokyo, he went to the laboratory of Professor Shigemura of Tokyo Institute of Technology to study for a Ph.D.?" While waiting downstairs, Sora Akiyama received a new message, and he hadn't been in contact with Akihiko Kayaba for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to have changed his research direction, "Toru Shigemura seems to be an authority on non-invasive brain-computer interfaces, but it seems that he hasn't seen him much at the conference......

He recalls his participation in various neuroscience conferences in recent years, and finds that although the professor's papers have been cited a lot and the research he publishes is all real business, he is really not very keen on academic communication—at least in person.

Anyway, it's not his turn to worry about Akihiko Kayaba's affairs. At this moment, the footsteps of Yuta Tomigashi and Tori Rokuka going downstairs came to my ears. Knowing that it was time to go, he decided to focus on Professor Shigemura's research later.

[4] Yun Chengyu

(Forbidden World, March 23, 2011, Wednesday, morning; School City, Ruiyun Elementary School)

Today is the last day of the semester and the end of the school year. The dismissal ceremony has ended, and when Yun Chengyu finished packing up his things and left the teaching building, he happened to see a passage and a girl named Mikoto Misaka walking side by side.

"The two of them can't be a couple, right?"

The thought popped into his mind, and he decided not to bother the two in front of him and left through the back door of the school instead. There are relatively few students who take this route, but he can still see many familiar faces.

After a semester, Yun Chengyu basically got acquainted with the classmates in the class, and the students in other classes and grades also got to know some because of various activities. But frankly speaking, he doesn't really like the relationship between his predecessors and juniors in Japan, but fortunately, as an international student, he can stand on the sidelines and not have to get into some complicated interpersonal relationships.

After returning to the dormitory to set up the books and packages, Yun Chengyu sat down at the desk, and was about to pass the time before lunch with a few games, when a new important notification was displayed on the data terminal.

"Dear District 14 Students and Teachers,

According to the notice of the garrison headquarters, from the 30th of this month, a curfew will be implemented in the school city. All students must return to the dormitory by 7 p.m. if they have no special needs, and teachers and staff are required to return to their accommodation by 9 p.m. Lights are not allowed to be turned off at night in all residences, and those who turn off the lights without permission will be severely punished.

Sincerely

Garrison 14th School District Branch"

After reading this brief notice, Yun Chengyu instinctively felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to the research institute to ask Sora Akiyama and the others, maybe they would be able to understand the reason behind this unusual curfew. Can't turn off the lights? Sounds like some kind of ability that requires a shadow to cast, if not magic.

More than twenty minutes later, when he arrived at the institute, Ichibantong and Mikoto Misaka were already there.

[5] Yuta Tomigashi

(Forbidden World, March 23, 2011, Wednesday, noon; Gakuen City, Far Eastern Research Association)

"What you're asking about is the reason for the curfew? I'm sorry, but we've just been notified, and I really don't know what kind of lab accident or something else is behind it. ”

Akiyama stretched out his hands in front of Yun Chengyu and the others, and said in the spiritual network at the same time: "What, how do I feel that this matter has something to do with the old rulers, do you have any clue after investigating for so long?"

"The requirements for keeping the light on...... Is it really Dark Maniac?" "Birdie Yurouka came to a conclusion almost immediately, "but Providence is too far away from here anyway. ”

Despite the surging black flames surging in his body, Yuta Tomigashi still felt that something was wrong. As he and the bird Yurokuka delve deeper and deeper, he becomes more and more uneasy about the darkness hidden in the depths of this world.

The nameless inhuman monsters that disappeared into the long river of history seem to have succumbed to the demon gods who dominate the world by manipulating the phases, but the subsequent investigation has vaguely hinted at some even more terrifying possibility. Compared to the known demon gods, the unknown existence is more dangerous.

If these old rulers ...... And the more terrifying outer gods, who were not defeated by the demon gods promoted by humans, but took the initiative to seal themselves into a deep sleep?

In this world, there are no megalithic ancient cities in the depths of the South Pacific, no towering mountains in the depths of Antarctica, no half-fish, half-frog nests under the coral reefs off the coast of Innsmouth, everything seems to fit the way a normal world should be - well, when it comes to magic, in some countries it is taken for granted as much as science.

But Robert Black's short stories and paintings are still alive and well, and some magic societies keep the Necronomicon, the Book of Ibon, and the infamous Ritual of Corpse Food—Yuta Tomigashi wonders maliciously if the Forbidden Book Catalogue can contain this extraordinary magic book, while [Shining Home Remedies Octahedron] swaggers in the museum of the school city.

It's better to say,When it comes to matters involving the old rulers,School City itself is suspicious...... Yuta Tomigashi thought so.,Suddenly shocked by the fact that the school city sent Huangquanchuan Aiho a few months ago.。 At first, they joked that they wanted to steal Jin's technology, but until now, Dansheng Gu Mori Xia has not caught her.

"Dansheng Valley, is Huangquanchuan Aiho still with you?" Without further ado, he immediately informed a certain magician on the other side of the ocean through a spiritual connection.

"Eh, why did you suddenly ask about this...... Ah, it looks like I left last week because of a transfer. ”

Yuta Tomigashi took a deep breath after hearing this, and decisively told the news to Kotori Yu Liuhua and the others. An unknown plan at the top of the school city,Is it really about to be implemented?
