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

Although it is a matter of course, it is not here to mention it again. The school city is actually a centralized teaching area composed of many schools.

Obviously, this means that the residents of the school city are mainly students. It also means that most of the time, only a wide variety of school uniforms, school uniforms, school uniforms can be seen in College City.

As teenagers and girls of this age, this is naturally intolerable.

So every Saturday and Sunday in the school city,Students will wear their own private clothes as much as possible.。 Therefore, on Saturdays and Sundays, even if it just looks more chaotic than usual.

However, this convention is not suitable for private Tokiwadai Junior High School. This is because Tokiwadai Junior High School requires students to wear school uniforms even on holidays unless there are special circumstances.

This is not necessarily unreasonable and overly strict, but in fact it is more out of security considerations.

Tokiwadai's uniforms are equipped with state-of-the-art protective technology, and are theoretically capable of withstanding forces of more than six tons, which are inaccessible to ordinary bullets. If it weren't for the convenience of the event and there was really no way, I am afraid that the school would never be stingy to add more impact-absorbing materials to the school uniform.

The price of just one school uniform is probably enough to compare with the living expenses of an average student for a year.

This seems to be an extreme approach that is armed to the teeth, but in fact, it is also quite difficult.

Although Tokiwadai's requirements for student education are simple and modest, due to the school's positioning, Tokiwadai's student identity is too special.

If something happens to this group of big ladies, how much impact it will have, just look at the "gymnasium incident" a few days ago.

Speaking of this incident, it really caused a huge sensation. As a result, in just three days, the relevant research reports on RSPK syndrome have shown an explosive growth trend. In the past, this was a subject that not much attention was paid to – after all, it had a very small probability of happening in isolation, and there was no precedent for serious accidents. In general, research on RSPK syndrome is limited to the large-scale loss of consciousness that can cause effects.

Until a few days ago, more than a quarter of students with RSPK syndrome were injured in some way due to an RSPK accident at the Tokiwadai Gymnasium, and the possible impact of RSPK syndrome in a single high-ability person was not really taken seriously.

Although Tokiwadai's initiative to report the accident has won unanimous praise, the pressure behind it is really not well understood by outsiders.

I'm afraid it will take a long time for its effects to be removed.

Almost all Tokiwadai students were asked to stay in their dormitories this weekend, also because of the accident. In the event of such an accident, it is only natural to re-evaluate the safety of the competency development curriculum and formulate a new plan for the prevention of RSPK syndrome.

That's why the girl wearing the Tokiwadai school uniform walking on the shopping street now looks quite unusual.

However, what seems unusual to outsiders is not difficult for her personally. If she really wants to do something, there are really only a handful of people who can stop her.

The girl walked briskly, her tall and plump figure and beautiful face attracted many people.

Of course, along the way, there will inevitably be the sorrowful screams of the teenager who was tortured by his girlfriend next to him because he was too engrossed.

The girl did it on purpose. In terms of the degree of grasp of human psychology,There shouldn't be anyone in the entire school city who can compare with her.。

If she knew her true identity, there would probably be very few people who had the courage to stare at her.

You know,She's the fifth of the seven LV.5 in the school city.,The apex of the spiritual ability of the school city.,The bee-eating exercise with the name of "psychological mastery".

She doesn't have the power to use it right now. That's because she's confident in her charisma, and it's too boring to use her abilities to attract people.

But even if you don't use your abilities, when it comes to playing with people's hearts, absolutely no one can beat it. She just posed from time to time that seemed natural but actually showed the beauty of a girl, which has attracted a lot of attention.

Seeing does not mean the truth, it seems that there are still many stupid people who have not been able to understand. But since it's a boy, it's understandable, isn't it?

When she came to the alley, the bee-eater stopped, and the gaze that had rested on her instantly became glazed.

"I thought you'd stay that way."

A teenager's voice came from inside the alley.

"I'm very serious when I have a commission. Having said that, don't you think you should at least find a café or something if you want to date a girl? Anyway, with my ability, I don't have to worry about someone eavesdropping. ”

"Because it's a dead spot for surveillance cameras, you could think I'm nervous."

"Oops, oops. …… Well? ”

The bee-eater walked into the alley and sniffed as if he had found something.

"The air seems to be better than outside, what did you do?"

"It was just filtered through a tension sieve made of a simple water film. It's still open, but it's harder to spot with the naked eye. Although it is not a café, the conditions are by no means worse than that of a café, and the security of intelligence is incomparable. ”

"Oh? It turns out that the grandson of our Tokiwadai chairman is still such a suspicious person. ”

"It's just too much to think about." In the alley, where only five people could stand side by side, Mitsuki Umihara said flatly. I don't know why, he was inexplicably carrying a coconut. "Here, it's a reward."

He handed over a women's watch.

In the school city,The practical value of the watch has almost completely disappeared.,And it's become a purely decorative thing.。 However, as a practical item in the past, the watch is something that can be wiped off, and even Tokiwa-dai turns a blind eye to it. For example, the watch that Mitsuki Umihara gave to the bee-eater already belongs to the category of brand-name high-end products.

"Oh, if I let my classmates see it, I really don't know what it will be misunderstood."

"That's why you avoid the eyes of others, don't you?

"Speaking of which, Kaihara-san, you're really too careless."

"What do you mean?"

"You should know what my abilities are, right? When you're alone with me, don't you worry about being controlled by me? ”

"Personally, I suggest you don't make such an attempt, or I'll probably be detained by the guards."

This is a very strange answer, and there is no logical connection at all.

Umihara flipped up his collar slightly, and a small button was attached to his neck.

"It's a brainwave detector that records changes in the brainwaves and sends them out through a transmitter, so my brainwave data is recorded by the computer at home. It's obviously impossible to control others without changing their brainwaves, even if you're the strongest psychiatric person. ”

"Oh? Then aren't you worried that I'll make you forget about it? ”

"That's why I advise you not to do that. You see. Mitsuki Umihara pointed to his cuffs, "This is a 'clockwork bandage', I previously made a preset indication on its control chip - if the brainwave detector finds that my brainwave is interfered with from outside, the microcomputer control system will control the clockwork bandage to execute an instruction, that is, to attack the object detected by the probe that meets the body temperature parameters." Needless to say, you should be able to guess, that's your argument just obtained. Put simply, if you do this, this is the result. ”

Umihara threw the coconut in his hand upwards and quickly kicked the ground with his right foot, twisting his body and kicking a right high kick.

The coconut shell shattered into three cloves with a crunching sound, but the coconut water was bound by the telekinetic force, floating in mid-air as if it were in a gravityless environment.

As you know, the structural strength of coconut shells is similar to that of a human skull.

The bee-eater's expression stiffened, but it quickly returned to normal. She threw up her hands and smiled in a gesture of surrender.

"Well, I throw in the towel. It seems that I am not cautious. ”

"Bee-eating classmates. As LV.5, your ability is too strong, which will probably make you mistakenly think that the strength of your ability can determine everything. But that's wrong, don't always think about what you can do, but think about what you can't do. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'm upset when you say that?"

"Don't be upset. I'm also your senior, so it's not surprising to give you a little advice, is it? ”

Mitsuki Umihara took out a paper cup from the bag and stuffed the sphere of coconut juice into it, while also putting the coconut shell into the empty pocket. He paused and took a sip of coconut water.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Did you find anything? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm going to disappoint you." The bee-eater still had an inexplicable smile, but his tone was clearly much more serious. "As you might have guessed, there are quite a few people from my faction among the victims of this incident, so I naturally won't ignore them. In fact, I did try to read Hoshikawa's memories, but I didn't find anything at all. ”

"Was it washed of memories?"

"Senior Kaihara (deliberate accent), you can't help but underestimate me." The bee-eater puffed up his chest and said confidently, "As long as there is a change in memory, I can detect it." Retrospective memories are also just a piece of cake for me. Even if it's really washed away, I can get it back. Do you understand? I mean, in Hoshikawa's memory, nothing happened at all. From the afternoon of the first day of Golden Week to the morning of the day of the accident, Hoshikawa-san simply did not exist. It was as if she hadn't experienced this time at all, not that she had no memories of it, as if she had slept until a few days ago. So I've got to say I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about what you want to know. However, I won't refund the commission fee. ”

If this is said by ordinary people, it is unbelievable. But since this is from the LV.5 mouth of the school city,,It undoubtedly has a lot of credibility.。

"No, that's enough. It's like a squid's ink that can cluse the vision. But on the other hand, the ink is enough to prove the existence of the squid, and the rest is only the minutiae. Thank you, you helped a lot. ”

"What a disgusting analogy."

"What does it matter? By the way, there is also a personal little problem. ”

"I know. I've tried to use mind reading on Qiongno, but all I hear is a murmur that I can't discern. Even if you want to control her actions, there will be errors, I don't know why, I can only say that I don't know. So you can rest assured, right? ”

“……”

"Did you guess right?" The bee-eater smiled meaningfully. "Senior, I'm not just using my abilities. This most basic judgment is the foundation of psychology. You're a reliable brother. ”

Haiyuan scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

This is truly something that anyone can think of. Whether it's the attention to the Tokiwadai incident, or the special attention that Hoshikawa didn't pay attention to, it's just because those things happened around the domini. Since this is the case, he will naturally also care about the influence of the bee-eating manipulation prayer for the spiritual ability on the firmament. Most people would have guessed that he would take this opportunity to ask this question in passing.

Obviously, he also valued the bee-eating ability to pray too much, so that he acted too directly.

A few bee-eaters who brought back Issei looked quite pleasant, which made Haiyuan a little unhappy.

"In that case, I don't have much more to ask. By the way, I almost forgot, tear off the tape behind the watch, it's a patch transmitter, the end of my wireless polygraph here. ”

“……”

The duo, who are somewhat of a bit of a bad taste, maintain a very graceful fake smile and look at each other like lovers, and this scene makes people feel the urge to flip the table.

After a long time......

"Well, I'm not interested."

Mitsuki Haihara sighed weakly.

"I feel the same way."

The bee-eater also put away his smile tiredly.

Although the other party is an idol-like character, it is obviously impossible to get along with this person. The two men have always been completely in agreement on this point.

"Do you want to continue investigating? To be honest, I'm also a little curious. ”

"No, it's better not. I have a bad feeling. ”

"Got it, then I'll stop here. Seriously, I feel the same way you do. ”

"Well, be careful. I'm sorry to get you involved, but I'll be guilty for the rest of my life if something goes wrong because of this. ”

"Don't worry, I'm also LV.5."

As a result, the communication between the two became direct and straightforward, no longer with any other elements, but simply expressed their own thoughts.

However, there was one idea that was still kept by Umihara, and that was only after entrusting the bee-eater to exercise the ability of the apex of the spiritual system. He didn't know how to explain it, and he didn't even know how to express it.

Hoshikawa's incapable body is now fully understood. However, there is one detail that perhaps not many people realize. That is, the whole story of this incident is wrapped in the Hilbert effect from beginning to end, and all the experiences are reconstructed from the memories of the people involved. However, the only person who experienced the whole thing from beginning to end was Mei Mi Madara. So, who can guarantee that her memory is a true reflection of the whole experience?

That is, who can guarantee that this process is not the product of some quantum event in her brain that was initiated by the Hilbert effect?

The truth is that no one can guarantee it at all.

I hope it's my own over-interpretation, and Haiyuan Mitsuki can only think so.
