By the time I finished the inquiry, more than one hour had passed before I knew it. Although they didn't actually get any valuable information, Mitsuki Umihara and Shiobi still chose to leave the hospital office as soon as possible.

It is clear that something is going on, and they can't make a decision without knowing the details.

Ji Yanbi silently followed behind Haiyuan Guanggui, and not long after, Haiyuan Guanggui suddenly burst out with a sentence:

"That's right here."

"That person?"

Yan Bi was stunned. Because it was so abrupt, she didn't even react to who Kaihara was talking about.

"It's the one we talked to just now, and if I'm not mistaken, she should be here, in this hospital."

"Here?"

Yan Bi was startled.

Although he is one of them, there is only one colleague that Yan Bi really knows. The person who spoke to them just now, Yan Bi didn't even have direct contact with her.

But Mitsuki Haihara said, is she in this hospital?

"Senior sister, did you hear anything just now?"

"Voice?" Yan Bi thought for a while, "No. ”

"Yes, no. It's so quiet, it's not normal. So she must be in an absolutely quiet place. ”

"Library...... Is it like this? ”

Mitsuki Haihara shook his head:

"No, no, it's not like that. The place was quiet, but she didn't need to be quiet, because she spoke to us in a normal voice. ”

"But it's not quiet here at all."

Indeed, for various reasons, the current hospital can even be said to be a little noisy, and there is no quiet at all.

But Mitsuki Haihara chuckled.

"That's not what it means. You see, Senior Sister Bi, no matter what happens outside, there must be two places in the hospital that are absolutely quiet. ”

"Do you mean ......?"

"Yes, you don't have to look far away. Operating theatres in standby state, as well as morgues. There are only two places in the hospital that are absolutely quiet. ”

Yan Bi suddenly realized something. Because the two places mentioned by Mitsuki Haihara are not just anyone who can enter.

Unless, the other party is an expert in this area......

"But it's possible that she's not there at all, is she?"

"There's really no evidence, but if that's not the case, then what was she going to do when she called us?"

“……”

Truly. If it's just to get in touch with them, you don't have to do that at all. She must have had some other purpose, they just didn't know it.

"There are probably three possible reasons. The first is that she needs to spy on us for a while, and while I don't know what I have to watch for, I really can't rule it out; The second is that her purpose is closely related to whether we are present or not, which is also possible; The third point is that she is entrusted by others, and even she herself does not know why. ”

"The first point should be left unattended."

Ji Yanbi immediately said that this made Haiyuan Guanggui a little surprised.

"Why?"

"In the school city,Aren't there a lot of means of surveillance? We can do the same thing by asking us to go to any place where there are surveillance cameras and then casually find someone to talk to us. ”

"That's true. But have you ever thought about such a thing, senior sister? ”

"What's the matter?"

"Isn't she a self-proclaimed 'executive member'? As far as you and I are concerned, if we want to suppress us with limited manpower, what kind of means must the parties have to ensure enforcement? ”

Yanbi blinked, seemingly pausing for a moment before reacting. However, the doubts in those eyes quickly turned into trembling.

She even covered her shoulders with her hands, afraid of the chill that did not exist in reality, but came from her heart.

The two of them have two abilities that have the widest applicability and the weirdest respectively. If that's the case......

"There shouldn't be many people like that, right?" Mitsuki Haihara asked and answered himself casually, as if he had just said something inconsequential. "The second possibility, what changes will we bring to hospitals?"

"I'm not familiar with this hospital."

"I know. I just suspect that maybe she's a third party. Perhaps the hospital itself has been under surveillance, including us. If this side has its attention on us, she may have a chance to do something. But if that's the case, then the second party will see us as anomalous. Unfortunately, I couldn't guess who it would be. ”

As he spoke, Mitsuki Haihara glanced up at the monitoring equipment.

While this assumption is milder, it is equally unsettling.

The rest is the last possibility. It seems to be the most inconsequential, but it is also the most frightening one.

"The third ......" Even Mitsuki Haihara paused, "Senior Sister Bi, be careful of the people around you." ”

Yes, behind this third possibility, there is such a proposition.

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the waiting hall at the main entrance of the hospital. According to the agreement, Mitsuki Umihara and Qiongno will meet here. Strangely enough, though, the dome wasn't there.

Here, there are only two people, Mikoto Misaka and Kuroko Shirai.

At this time, Mikoto was standing up and slammed her fist into Shirai Kuroko's head.

Although it was a strange scene, those who already knew about them could guess the reason.

"Mitsuki Haihara? How did you end up here? Also, you're the senior sister from last time, right? ”

Mikoto Misaka, who saw him, said this. Her temper is not annoying.

"How can I say that I'm also a party, and it's normal here, right?"

"The parties? Ah, it was you ...... back then."

"Don't talk about that. What about the dome? Didn't stay with you guys? ”

"Originally, she was there, but Hoshikawa-san's came, and I don't know why I called her away."

What's going on here?

Mitsuki Haihara and Yan Bi glanced at each other.

"I've been waiting."

Just then, a woman who looked like a scholar walked over.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

There's an urban legend related to the ninth school district of the school city.,Compared to other absurd urban legends.,It's the most realistic.,And therefore the most unique.。

The content is:

"If you ask someone to do a portrait in the park, you'll be followed by someone from the modeling agency."

This urban legend looks like a dream that girls often dream about. For teenagers and girls of this age, it is even more attractive than those absurd and wonderful urban legends. And in terms of content, it's no surprise that District 9 itself is home to art schools.

However, just like other urban legends, the legend has never been the case, despite countless attempts.

This urban legend is actually real.

And that was just a recent time ago, in the Ninth School District.

Because the protagonist of this urban legend deliberately hides himself, even the most enthusiastic about urban legends do not realize that the legend is actually associated with a person.

But now, the situation has been broken.

"Should I say 'first meeting' is better?"

Said the fashionably dressed woman.

The girl in front of her smiled silently and shook her head slowly.

"It's incredible, why was it discovered?"

This is what she is puzzled about.

Even her contacts are encrypted using a classical one-time note-style password system, where only two people can obtain cracked password information, and the key is issued through a direct meeting with one of them. Theoretically, no one should be able to find her. (Note: The "one-time note encryption system" is a cryptosystem proposed by Gilbert Fornum, and it is the only one that is theoretically completely secure.) The key of this cryptosystem is as long as the message and is not duplicated. The disadvantage is that each key can only be used once, and the key itself must be distributed in a secure way to the party receiving and sending the information. This causes a lot of inconvenience in operation. ）

"Miss Tateki, this is no joke, please tell me how you found out and found me. If I make such a big mistake and I don't know it, it can cause big problems. ”

I don't know why, she said as she shuffled the cards as if nothing had happened.

"It's just a woman's instinct."

Do you think anyone will accept such an answer? Miss Tateki. ”

"Of course, as long as it's me."

“……”

The girl was silent for a moment, and stopped shuffling the cards. She sighed faintly and put the card back in her pocket.

"You're right, I'm rude." There are ways to obtain information that are beyond the scope of prevention, which is beyond the power of man. The ability of the standing tree is clearly an example of this, and the girl understands this. "What was the trigger?"

"Because you chose my alma mater."

The answer caused the girl to shrug her shoulders, and she felt a pang of powerlessness. Could it be such a coincidence?

Sure enough, as long as you are in this world, no matter what, you can't avoid some accidents. In essence, this is unavoidable and cannot be changed by human beings.

"In this world, the most unpredictable thing is probably the accident caused by this coincidence, right?"

"That's true." Limu agreed with her words, "Also, you're almost ready to come out, right?" Hoshikawa. ”

As Limu said, from behind the landscape tree on the side, a petite figure walked out.

"It's exactly what you say. I really don't know if it's luck or misfortune? ”

The girl shook her head.

Just as Tateki found her, Hoshikawa also expected Tateki's arrival. Similarly, for this, Limu is also aware of this.

Neither side was surprised. The abilities of Tateki and Hoshikawa have something in common in their application to understanding an unknown territory. With such clear conditions, this commonality is sufficient to be a prerequisite for the prophet.

It's like a game of chasing in a circle. Are you chasing me, or am I chasing you?

"Is it Picasso? No, it's Kekoto. Picasso or Quecoto, it's the same anyway. (Note: Historically, Picasso and Cortto were very close friends, so some people made up such a joke to make fun of them)

With that, the girl lifted the hem of her skirt and curtsied to the two women, who had a large age gap.
