Chapter 118: Silver Boxes and Wreckage (1)

"Eat slowly, don't worry, it's enough for you to eat......" Naraku said helplessly looking at the two foodies sitting in front of him and eating fiercely.

Opposite him were two guys who were eating out of food like a whirlwind, and the one with the hedgehog head was still biting the steak in his mouth, and said vaguely, "Well, thank you, Naraku...... Ah, this one is delicious...... It's been a long time since Intix and I have eaten meat. ”

"It's been three days!" Another girl who eats more terrifying (in Naraku's opinion, she is a complete foodie), not only is her mouth full of things, but her two hands are also holding two chicken legs on one side, "Stupid and numb, we haven't eaten meat for three days!" ”

"According to what you just said, that means you broke into a church with a bunch of magicians to fight them in order to save a beautiful woman you met for the first time, and then with the help of your friends, you went to face the captain of that team alone, although you were beaten all over the body, but in the end you still won, and successfully rescued the nun named Ossola, but because you were seriously injured and hospitalized, you spent all the money again?" Naraku rolled her eyes and said as she lay on the table without any image.

"It's not that exaggerated, we also have partners on our side......"

"Stupid and numb, always caught up in some strange things, in order to save others regardless of himself!" Intix muttered discontentedly.

"That's amazing." Naraku praised insincerely.

"They're not very powerful, if it's Naraku, you can easily settle those nuns with the swordsmanship you used to deal with the Divine Crack that day." When Ma touched his head embarrassedly.

Naraku shrugged his shoulders indifferently and didn't speak.

It's true that if it's just Yanis's troops, there is no threat to him, but when Ma this guy really doesn't know if he's really stupid or really enthusiastic, although it's different from a certain Emiya coyote who has always wanted everyone to be happy but doesn't deserve happiness himself, but Naraku really can't understand why Danma has this determination to help others.

After all, if Ma really wants to say it, the combat power is not as good as the "fake" of Emiya Shirou, there is projection magic that can be used, and there is no powerful swordsmanship like Naraku, the fantasy killer is not very useful to those nuns with weapons, but Dangma still has no fear.

So, Naraku felt very idiotic about what he did, at least if it was him, he would never wield his strength for someone else, and he really wanted to fight with all his might, definitely for himself, in order to be able to enjoy a battle that could ignite his nerves and make his whole body boil.

After you have eaten and drunk.

"Hiccup......" When Ma burped, he patted his swollen belly with satisfaction.

"It's the happiest thing in the world to be able to eat meat to your heart's content......" Intex was so full that she couldn't move in her chair.

"Should I complain that your desires are too small or too big?" Naraku was a little speechless, looking at the terrifying number of empty bowls at home, he really didn't even have the strength to complain, speaking of which, Naraku was really a little curious, how could Intix, a foodie, swallow so much food with such a small body.

In fact, Naraku is also very skeptical, will Intaxis have magic books in her head and stomach in her body?

"Are you back?" After resting, Dang Ma finally regained his ability to move.

"Alright, you guys go, it looks like I'm going to have to renovate the house, I'm not in the habit of using your used plates, and I don't have any intention of washing them now."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm going to trouble you every time......" Dangma said as he touched his head and looked embarrassedly at the empty bowls that filled the table as high as a mountain.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Naraku didn't react to Dangma's words, just watched them leave their home, quietly opened the alternate dimension, sucked all the dinner plates in, and then used the ability to create a new set of discarded tableware.

"It's really troublesome, I'll have to help with special training later, it's really difficult to think of a training method that suits them......" Naraku frowned and thought about the future, "Do you want to try that." ”

The school city has been shrouded in the setting sun.

The buildings of the "School House Garden" have white walls, and the atmosphere is very easy to change with the sky. As the last train of the school bus approached, a large number of girls in five different uniforms flocked to the bus terminal. Just like Shirai and Mikoto, their dormitory is also outside the [School Garden].

Although there is no hard and fast rule that students must take the bus, many of these greenhouse girls have a sense of fear even for the isolated school city. Some of them have never been outside of dormitories, buses, or the Garden of Learning.

In the midst of the noisy and noisy tide of returnees, Shirai and Mikoto walked leisurely.

But they didn't do it so voluntarily, but they were too tired to speed up. The shriveled schoolbags in both of their hands were swaying back and forth weakly.

"You...... How many times do you want me to say it...... I'm referring to the change of clothes for PE class...... Follow...... With what...... Do you have a sweetheart...... It doesn't matter at all......"

"I ...... I would like to reiterate...... The act of undressing loosely in front of men...... It's too early......"

"Ahhhβ€”β€”! People who love to buy 38 exposing lace underwear are really difficult to communicate! ”

"Three...... Thirty-eight exposed? Sister...... My sister is pretending to be cute when she buys that kind of boyish underwear! As a girl, I really can't agree with that! ”

"What did you say!"

"What!"

Mikoto and Shirai were entangled again, but after arguing for so long, their physical strength was already overwhelmed, and the two finally sighed and relaxed the strength of their whole bodies.

They don't take the bus, so they don't have to worry about the last train.

Shirai looked sideways at the small stores that closed early due to the departure of the students, and said, "That's right, sister." We'll slowly investigate the truth later, where are we going now? Arguments take up too much of our time. My original plan was to find a place to eat after I finished shopping. ”

"That's right, we'll clarify the misunderstanding later. It's too late today, right? In particular, the shops in the [Garden of the School House] are closed very early. ”

"Well, but as soon as you leave the [School Garden], there are many shops that are about to start to get busy. For example, we can go and eat the dessert set of 'Black Honey Hall'......"

"Ah, Kuroko, you can't resist the temptation, no wonder the parts of your body that shouldn't be plump are so ...... Woo! ”

Mikoto was only halfway through her teasing words when she felt a terrifying murderous aura.

Bai Jing beside him lowered his head and hid his expression, not knowing what he was thinking in his mouth.

"Black ...... Sunspot...... I was going to follow this sentence with the ...... of "But as long as you exercise properly, it doesn't matter how much you eat"

"Sister, I like to say this kind of thing that stabs a girl's heart, and the clothes will be moved to other places by [space] in broad daylight?" Shirai said as he squirmed the fingers of his hands.

Her superpowers are simply the natural enemies of all girls, as long as they are touched by her hands, whether it is a skirt or panties, they may be moved anywhere alone.

In other words, whether to be **** or half-naked is under her control.

Mai Tamin was facing the crisis of spring leakage, and she couldn't help but feel frightened, but fortunately, a mobile phone ringtone rang at this time, resolving the tension that was about to erupt.

As soon as Mai Trin heard it, she knew that it was not her own phone ringtone.

"Kuroko...... Why do you always love to use such powerful but flashy mobile phones? Is there any point in increasing the number of chords for a ringtone? ”

"Hey, hey, hey, not only that, although this phone is small, it has many shortcomings such as easy to lose, difficult to press keys and unclear on the screen."

Shirai smiled weakly and took out his phone.

Her mobile phone is completely different from the shape of ordinary mobile phones, but a cylinder with a diameter of one centimeter and a length of about five centimeters, which looks like a lipstick.

She pressed the button on it, stopped the ringtone, and then pulled out a thin and transparent piece of paper from the side like a drawing scroll, which is the "main body" of the phone.

"It looks sci-fi, but it's so hard to use, it's really nothing."

"Leave me alone, I just like to blindly pursue cutting-edge technology. Someday, I'd like to sit and watch the train running through the transparent tubes...... Ah, sorry. ”

Shirai turned his back to Mikoto, looked at the phone screen, and then put the phone to his ear.

The incoming call is the number registered in the phone book.

The screen shows the liaison office of the school park urban security maintenance organization "Discipline Inspector of the Discipline Inspector".

The "Discipline Commissioner" is a bit similar to a police organization.,Specialized in solving various cases caused by superpowers in the school city.。

Kuroko Shirai is also one of the members.

"I'm Shirai, it's rare to be able to shop with my sister today, and now the atmosphere is just right, what does it have to bother us?."

"Wow! Then I won't keep Miss Misaka's chastity? It's a relief. ”

Of course, the other end of the phone was also a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and his voice sounded sweet and greasy, like candy in his mouth, but Shirai couldn't help but want to hang up the phone when he heard it.

"Shirai-san, there are some problems that I, a newcomer, can't handle alone, so if it's convenient, I'd like to ask for the opinion of your senior."

"Just [if it's convenient]?"

"yes."

"Don't you know that I've finally got my long-cherished wish now and walked with my sister?"

"yes, the timing was so accurate that I was shocked myself. It seems that God wants me to laugh in victory, wahahaha! ”

Shirai picked up his phone and tapped the microphone on the wall of the store next to him.

"Wow! Ear...... My ears hurt so much! How could there be such a strange sound......"

"If you say one more word about finding ballast, I'll let you hear the sound of your nails scraping through the glass?"

"Total ...... In short, please come to the 177th branch within 30 minutes. The current situation is getting worse and worse. ”

The other party cut off the call.

"Alas......" Shirai Kuroko put away her mobile phone, turned her head to Mikoto Misaka with guilt and said, "I'm sorry, sister, I really don't know how to apologize to you, that incomprehensible Discipline Inspection Committee member colleague arranged a job for me......"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll see you off with a big smile. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Not even saying a word of consolation really brought tears to my eyes...... Okay, then I'm leaving, sister, please take care. Shirai turned and walked towards the bus terminal.

To buy time, she decided to take the last bus.

Halfway through, Mai Koto suddenly spoke, "Kuroko, I know that work is often involuntary, but I suggest you try to come back early today because it may rain at night." ”

"Ah, I forgot to read the weather report today, so I didn't know about it. Thank you sister for the reminder, then we'll see you in the dormitory later. ”

Shirai bowed to Mai Korin in thanks, then turned to the bus terminal, and the sound of Mai Trin's footsteps fading away could be heard behind him, and finally he was completely inaudible.

Shirai was a little concerned about the weather, and looked up at the evening sky, and there was no sign of rain at all.

[Huh......? 】

Suddenly, Shirai suddenly sensed that something didn't seem quite right with what Mikoto had just said.

It may rain at night.

This sentence sounds normal at first glance.,But this is a school city with three artificial satellites.,Not to mention that one of them contains a "treemap designer".,It has perfect simulation capabilities.。

In other words, the residents of the school city don't usually use the uncertain word "maybe" to describe the weather.

[So, sister......]

Although Mai Trito's words made Shirai feel a little worried, Shirai decided to prioritize the work in front of him, and the last train would leave in ten minutes, Shirai clenched his shriveled bag and ran towards the destination that was not visible in the distance.

Unconsciously, the little doubts in Shirai's heart have disappeared without a trace.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The school bus used by Kuroko Shirai is shared by the five schools in the "Garden of the Academy".

Although it is not a problem for each aristocratic girls' school to own a bus on its own, each school deliberately merges the bus system under the concept of "trying to let students have as much contact with society as possible under the premise of safety".

The school buses shared by the five schools have earned the nickname "double-decker parade limousine" because of their luxurious and spacious interiors, with students seating on the lower level and a cafΓ© on the upper level.

The bus follows the established route between the five student dormitories along the main road.

The place where Kuroko Shirai gets off is not in front of the student dormitory of Tokiwadai Junior High School.

She got off the bus in front of the student dormitory of another school, mixed among the female students of the other school, stretched, sighed softly, and thought, "Is there really a way for such a bus to achieve the effect of [allowing students to have more contact with society]?" ”

Tokiwadai Junior High School also has buses from other systems passing in front of the dormitories, which are called regular buses, and the school buses are a far cry from those regular buses.

It was 7:30 p.m.

You can still see the sunset at this time of the summer vacation, but it's already dark by this time of year in mid-September. Shirai took out the armband of the Discipline Commission from his school bag, pinned it to the sleeve of his short-sleeved uniform, and walked alone in a completely different direction from the girls around him. Once the mood changes from "after school" to "work", the shriveled schoolbag in your hand becomes even more cumbersome. Because what she needs is no longer "school necessities", but "combat necessities".

Near the student dormitory, there is a school building of another school.

It was a very ordinary square concrete school building, completely different from the style of the "School Garden", and Shirai walked in, grabbed a pair of slippers from the staff of the Tun staff, who rarely had students in and out, and walked down the corridor neatly lined with lights. After walking on the hard and cold rubber floor for a while, I saw a door with a long door sign that read: "The 177th Branch of the Discipline Inspection Committee Member's Activity".

There was a glass pane next to the door, and after passing through the identification level of fingerprints, veins, and the unique vibration of fingertips, Shirai Kuroko did not knock on the door, but chose to push the door open.

There was a loud bang, and the door made a loud noise.

The girl inside the door jumped up in fright, her name was Hatsuharu Katori, and she was the same age as Shirai, but because of her petite stature and narrow shoulders, she looked a little more childish, and it was rare for a junior high school student like her to look unfit even in a summer sailor's uniform, and her short black hair was adorned with roses, hibiscus, and other ornaments in the shape of flowers, and from a distance it looked like a colorful vase on her head.

Hatsuharu's face was full of panic, and Shirai stepped into the "177th Branch" with great momentum.

"What the hell is going on? There are so many members of the Discipline Inspection Commission, why do you have to look for me? ”

"Well, if you think about it calmly, it doesn't seem that it has to be Shirai-san."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You know I'm shopping with my sister, but if you insist on calling me, should you say something? ”

"Hoorayβ€”β€”!

"It's the other way around! Why raise your hands and cheer? ”

Shirai performed a spatial movement, and instantly came to Hatsuharu's eyes, pushing the small temples on either side of her with both fists. Since the shriveled schoolbag was still in his hand, the buckle of the schoolbag kept touching Chuchun's ears.

Both of them are in the first year of junior high school.

But based on the aura of Tokiwadai Junior High School's origin and level 4 abilities, there is an obvious relationship between the two. In addition, in his first mission as a member of the Discipline Inspection Committee, Shirai helped Hatsuharu, who was still an ordinary student at the time. However, Shirai himself doesn't care, only early spring is still often worried about it.

Branch 177 looks less like a school classroom and more like an office. There were several iron desks of the kind common in city offices, and several computers were placed on them.

Hatsuharu faced a computer and sat in a chair. The ergonomic design of this chair with curvy lines looks almost like DalΓ­'s clock, and it is a "scientific chair that minimizes fatigue".

As Shirai moved behind Hatsuharu to squeeze her temples, Rain's eyes naturally turned to the computer screen.

The screen appears to be a map of the GPS satellite positioning system, with a red X on it, which seems to have occurred some kind of incident. Several other places on the map are also marked in other windows. You can also see materials such as photos.

What these things mean, you have to ask about the early spring to know.

However, Shirai only glanced at it casually twice, and then said, "Ah, this is not what happened on campus?" ”

If it's happening inside the school, you should use the school floor plan instead of the GPS map.

Since the Discipline Inspector is called the Discipline Inspector, it is basically an organization that maintains law and order on campus.

As a result, the Discipline Inspector has a branch in every school, and unlike the police system, which is open 24 hours a day, the office is locked every day when it is time to finally leave the school, and no one is left in it (the exception is now).

Unless there is an emergency, policing activities "outside the school" are essentially the duty of guards, because adults believe that students should not be allowed to patrol dangerous alleyways or in the middle of the night.

Shirai no longer pushed Hatsuharu's temples, and Hatsuharu seemed to be a little relieved.

"I've already followed the procedure and notified the guards, but the situation is really not right, the guards may immediately ask us for detailed information, I think Shirai-san, I should know better than me how to answer, ah, I'll make black tea, right?"

"No, I don't like to pour tea in on an empty stomach."

For Shirai, black tea is just a foil to cooking or desserts, and activities with tea as the protagonist such as afternoon tea are not in line with Shirai's hobby.

Hearing Shirai's casual answer, Chu Chun was shocked, and his face turned pale.

"Uh......h Whining......! In order to imitate the life of a noble lady, I studied books on black tea and prepared special spices such as rose oil...... But you casually vetoed it with a sentence that was more like a noblewoman! Doesn't drinking black tea at school sound wonderful? It's totally high society feeling! ”

The aristocratic daughter of Tokiwadai Middle School,It's the object of yearning for all the girls in the school city.,But most people don't know.,What kind of life the students of Tokiwadai Middle School live.,So some fanatics who yearn for the aristocratic girls' school too much.,Will study in a strange direction.,And finally it becomes a situation like early spring.。

"Alas, then sticking to formality is something that only the nouveau riche does. Anyway, what the hell is going on? ”

"Ah, it's okay to be a rich man and an upstart...... I have such an idea in my head, which proves that I am really a small person in the market, as for what happened, it is actually not a big deal, to put it bluntly, it is a robbery on the road, but there are as many as ten gangsters, and it is really not a smart way to rob. ”

Shirai chewed on Hatsuharu's words in his head, placing his shriveled bag on the chair next to him and staring intently at the screen.

A map of the 7th School District was displayed on the computer screen, and an X was marked on a corner of the main road in front of the station. The nearby road has some brightly colored arrows, which must be the gangster's predicted escape route.

Shirai looked surprised.

"We don't have to deal with such an incident, right?"

"But there are some suspicious points in this robbery. According to eyewitness testimonies, the looted item was a suitcase. "Suitcase?"

"Ah, Shirai-san, don't you know? It's the kind of box that is about the size of a normal suitcase, with wheels underneath. It seems that not many people use this kind of thing for personal travel, but flight attendants often use it. Hatsuharu explained succinctly and forcefully, "According to eyewitness information, there is also a delivery slip attached to this suitcase. ”

"Simply put, a suitcase with a delivery slip attached? What's so strange about that? ”

"Well, anyway, you look at this image first, this is the image taken by the autonomous guard robot, and I zoomed in on the part of the suitcase."

At the beginning of spring, I pressed a few buttons, and a new window appeared, on which you could see the number on the delivery ticket, the holder, and the destination of the delivery.

As soon as Shirai saw the "sending destination", he couldn't help frowning, "...... the calculation auxiliary facility attached to Tokiwadai Junior High School?" I've never heard of this unit. ”

"Ah, didn't you have this unit? It's hard for us to get in touch with the [Garden of the Academy], so we can't confirm it, and by the way, even the Daba Star Festival that is about to be held, the [Garden of the Academy] is not an arena and is not open to the public. From Hatsuharu's tone, it seemed that the latter made her feel more annoyed, "I've checked the number of the delivery ticket, and it doesn't seem quite right, although it is true that there is a sending item with this number, but the content is written about the large-scale cooling device for heat dissipation of the main computer of the parallel algorithm, no matter what, that kind of thing can't fit into a suitcase, right?" ”

"What do you say......? If it's metal parts, forget it, I've never heard of the [School Garden] ever transporting people from the outside world. ”

"It is impossible to judge the authenticity of the delivery slip just by relying on the image analysis of the delivery slip, maybe someone just copies a delivery slip and pastes it."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Wait, instead of studying the photos and eyewitness testimonies, why not ask the person who stole the suitcase, wouldn't it be more convenient? ”

"Because the person is gone." Fu Chun said lightly.

Shirai was taken aback and turned his head to look at Hatsuharu.

Hatsuharu went on to explain: "It seems that this victim does not want to rely on us, but intends to hunt down the gangsters on his own. Do you want to see the images from that time? There were more than 10 people in the bandit group, and only one victim was there, but he didn't know who to call after the incident, and he chased him all the way. ”

Chu Chun pressed the keyboard a few times, and there was a new window on the screen that satisfied the window, which was a clear video picture, and the location should be on the main road in front of the station, and a man in a high-end suit looked left and right for a while, and then hurriedly made a call. Instead of a cell phone, he used a radio intercom.

"This is it." In early spring, the image was suddenly suspended.

"Did you catch anything strange?" Shirai stared at the still picture, but couldn't see anything suspicious.

The man in the suit holding the radio intercom is shaking his head, so his face is blurred.

"Shirai-san, the victim's blazer is slightly turned up, is there something in it?"

"Well, it's ...... for you to say that."

The hem of the suit was slightly overturned by the man's movements, revealing something like a black suspender, right next to the belly.

"If you zoom in on the image, you can see the model number and L_Y010021. The special gun strap made by the large gunsmith is something that can hide the pistol under the clothes, and the criminal police in the police and gangster movies often take out the pistol from the arms of the suit? That's it. Hatsuharu said after enlarging the gun strap.

Shirai smiled lightly, "Maybe it's just an ornament." ”

"yes, maybe just decorations, including this."

Then, Hakuharu pressed a few more buttons, and the man in the suit was enlarged near his chest, and hundreds of thin arrows appeared. These arrows indicate subtle undulations in the garment. Like iron sand caught by a magnet, countless arrows are faintly arranged in the shape of a pistol.

"The number of images we get is very small...... That's all, Shirai-san, what do you think? ”

Either the man deliberately avoided the camera during the operation, or the robber deliberately avoided the camera when he fled, and the man followed closely, so the man was not captured by the camera.

Shirai thought for a moment and said, "Alas, I have a hunch that this is another tricky case. ”

"Huh? Shirai-san, have you even learned the ability to predict? ”

"The authenticity of the pistol part cannot be determined by these images alone, but the radio walkie-talkie is very similar to the expert model I saw when I was trained as a discipline officer, so it seems that ...... I see, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome. What's more, it is also a suspicion that the victim did not report the crime to us. ”

Victims of unauthorized actions.

A suitcase related to Tokiwadai Junior High School.

Overly professional full gear.

The case really wasn't quite right, and if there was a real possibility of a shootout, then the equipment of the "guards" would have to be changed as well.

There aren't many opportunities for the Discipline Inspector to show himself in this case (after all, not all Discipline Inspectors have Level 4 abilities like Shirai), but it would be somewhat helpful to have someone present who knows the inner workings of the [School House] and Tokiwadai Junior High School.

"Shirai-san, should we focus our investigation on the gangster or the victim?"

"We should chase both sides together, if we can't do it, let's focus on the gangsters first, anyway, as long as we take back the suitcase, we don't have to chase the victim, and the victim will take the initiative to contact us." Shirai sighed, took a step back, and then gave instructions to Hatsuharu, "Okay, can you find out the escape route of the gangsters?" Anyway, it took me thirty minutes on the way here, so I don't know exactly where I am, right? ”

"Not really." "After snatching the suitcase, they fled on foot into the underground mall instead of using a vehicle, perhaps to avoid Sputnik surveillance." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ To avoid surveillance? But there are a lot of cameras underground, right? In addition to stationary cameras, aren't there autonomous robots patrolling? ”

"Yes, but after all, it is easy to hide on the ground, as long as it is not photographed by artificial satellites from the air, other cameras can use the crowd to create a dead end, and it is relatively fast to escape from the underground street, now because of the negligence of the power distribution of the traffic light, the roads around the scene of the accident such as Line 3, Line 48 and Line 131 have been congested, if you drive, it is absolutely impossible to escape, so it is more advantageous in speed and privacy to escape malaria from the underground street on foot."

"I see." Shirai nodded slightly.

After receiving the contact from the early spring, the guards should also have taken action.

The problem is that in this state of traffic jam, it is difficult for the guards' vehicles to reach the scene, not to mention that it is not yet possible to judge how serious the case is, so it will take some time to apply for helicopter support.

Although the complicated application process is to prevent the team members from acting without permission, it also reduces the speed of emergency response, which is the disadvantage of the organization's operation.

"Well, it seems that I should run it myself faster."

"Huh? If Shirai-san's departure, won't I still have to face the guards' questioning alone? It's so troublesomeβ€”β€”! ”

Hatsuharu protested loudly, but Shirai just said indifferently: "Don't worry, I'll solve the matter right away." ”

Kuroko Shirai grabbed the shriveled schoolbag placed on the chair and headed towards the door.

Without looking back, she said, "Who do you think I am?" It doesn't matter if it's underground or anywhere, it's the same for me. ”
