"Mr. Kiyama, I have a doubt."

Yan Bi asked.

"What do you want to say?"

Haru Kiyama instinctively became vigilant.

She hadn't forgotten that the young girl claimed to be a messenger from above. For the high-level of the school city,She doesn't have any feelings that can be called good.。

"It's not too important, it's just a little curiosity of my own." She shook her head, she wasn't in the mood to explain in detail, "I don't think you haven't thought about the healing method for the users of the fantasy master. So, haven't you thought that the method itself is actually cutting off the hand of the fantasy Mite.com? ”

"There is a way." Kiyama Harusheng thought about it, although he didn't understand why the other party cared about this, but he still said, "I made a piece of information code, which is a program, and it is an instruction that can correct the input of the foreign brain wave. It is indeed possible to eliminate the network connection itself. ”

"Oh? I see. So Mr. Kiyama, is that program still there? ”

"I don't know. When I came here, I didn't find any memories. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so much going on. ”

As soon as she heard her say this, her gaze, which had been looking in the direction where Dome and Mikoto were, immediately moved back.

"You mean it's gone all of a sudden?"

"It doesn't matter, I can make another one without taking much time. I never intended to sacrifice anyone. ”

"I know."

This unexpected news made Yan Bi a little careless. Because in her opinion, the news itself contains too much to understand.

Before, someone told her that the key to solving this incident lies in one person. But if what Kiyama Haruo said is the truth, then the key should be the program that happened to disappear at this time.

It's very strange. Because if it had been earlier, Haruo Kiyama would have been able to remake a program. And if it had been a little later, I am afraid that this incident would have been resolved.

Change your mind, that is, because the sudden disappearance of this program makes that person have to come to the forefront.

Is this really just a coincidence?

Although she wanted to believe it, she couldn't even convince herself.

This inexplicable coincidence caused her to squint her eyes and gaze more intently at where the Dome was. Because if that statement is true, and not to deceive her......

Then, she saw a phenomenon happening.

It was this phenomenon that made the calm and composure she had always managed to maintain completely non-existent.

Because that is perhaps the most unlikely and unbelievable phenomenon in nature.

It is not presented in any way, in any substance. It is everywhere at all times, so that it is only when it appears in such a vision that it is more striking than any physical phenomenon.

That is the most extreme performance that Mitsuki Haihara thought of.

"Empty Bow ......"

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

Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with that.

Before, it wasn't a delusion.

This monster made up of AIM's diffusion stance really seems to be afraid of the girl in front of you. At least when Mikoto and Dome moved directly in front of the monster together, the monster paused very noticeably.

Perhaps, she really has a way.

At this time, it seems that countless words have burrowed into Mikoto's mind.

"Kaihara-san! This ......"

"Don't be affected, Misaka-san. As an electrically capable person, it's not inconceivable that you're able to feel brainwave information. ”

"You know?"

"It's not like you can hear it, but you can guess the content by and large."

That's right, it's nothing more than the words formed by those unwilling consciousnesses.

It must be admitted that it is indeed possible to meet such people in a person's lifetime. It's as if it's out of reach all along. Although it is a completely personal issue, it does have an impact on oneself in one way or another. And in terms of results, it is often not so pretty. When a person. When we are in this kind of helplessness, we often turn the word "talent" out of the dictionary as an explanation that can make oneself or others have nothing to say.

（Edith…… ）

If the word "talent" had a soul, it would probably be indignant that human beings disturb its peace so often. It may stand in its shoes and ask humans to bother with other words in order to find peace.

In fact, this was probably wrong from the start. When a person pursues a goal that is not his or her for one reason or another, it may actually be a misguided act. A person's hope is only his own, not given by others, nor can he be imitated.

However, for practical reasons, people may not be able to do what they want to do all the time. But at the very least, one should not live for the hope of others. That's never worth giving up something more important.

"I'm sorry ......"

The girl whispered.

She should be the one who can best understand the feelings of users of fantasy masters. But it is precisely because of this that she is particularly unacceptable.

You know, even in her most difficult moments in memory, she never had the idea of giving up. Because what she wants is very pure, and there is nothing superfluous. And those superfluous ingredients don't actually belong to themselves. It was just a shadow of hope under the reflection of others.

（Edith…… ）

One thing Dome knows very well is that the attempt she has to make has never been done in School City.

Strictly speaking, that's a concept that's inherent in her abilities. To be honest, she had envisioned it too. It's just that she hasn't dared to try it at will. Because it does have a certain amount of danger.

The danger was not directed at others, but entirely at herself.

There is no precedent and there is a consensus that the superpower development process must be carried out with absolute caution. Before today, she had never thought of breaking that consensus.

She deliberately concealed this because she knew that neither Mikoto Misaka nor Huang Quanchuan, who was a security guard, would agree to her risky behavior.

There are always people who inevitably have to take some risks, and it seems like a no-brainer.

Imagining perfection without cost is also the malice of the word elpis.

As a mortal, the most unavoidable thing is often not disaster, but hope itself.

This may be an irony, but who can say that this is not the true meaning of hope itself?

Giving too much of a beautiful image to an ideal concept is a mistake in itself.

So now, it's time to shatter that fictional hope.

"Ready? Misaka-san. ”

"Anytime."

In front of the huge monster like a building, the two girls gave a light high-five. Although under this almost disproportionate body contrast, it seems somewhat uncomfortable.

（Edith…… ）

It was as if I had heard the mysterious whisper again.

The beautiful girl had a crystal-like and pure look on her face, and she smiled with a smile that would make the stars even lose color.

"Then, let the eternity of the moment come."

This contradictory statement officially announces the arrival of a moment, but only a moment.

Yes, as the name suggests, it is only a moment to come.

The torrent of time that flows from the past to the future stops here.

Under the domination of the maiden, everything stands still at this moment.

At this moment, it has become an abnormal eternity.

_

This doesn't happen in fiction, but it is reality.

Everything seemed to come to a halt, and only herself and the people around her were unaffected.

If it's an ordinary student in the school city.,Maybe you can't understand what's going on.。 But as a student of Tokiwadai, Mikoto Misaka knows what this means.

Both A and B are slowed down, and A is not affected in any way by looking at A or B from B. It seems that it will cause confusion in common sense and logic, but in fact, only under this premise can common sense and logic be self-consistent.

This inference was actually recognized by mankind a century ago. And, to sum it up in one sentence:

"The frame of reference for the two relative motions is from their own standpoint, and the speed of the other slows down."

That is the phenomenon of time dilation as pointed out by the theory of relativity.

This is not surprising at all, as different regions of space-time allow for different rates of time flow. This is a derivation from the principle of the invariance of the speed of light, and for the time being, there are no exceptions.

So what if A sees B completely still, and A sees A all right?

This is not surprising that when A seems to be infinitely long, B can appear to be infinitely long. The theory of relativity allows this phenomenon to happen.

So, what does this mean is happening?

The conclusion is obvious:

Time stopped.

Yes, this incredible phenomenon means a fact.

Just as Mai Trin is both the master of electricity and the master of magnetism. The Dome is both the ruler of gravity and the ruler of time and space. It's not too hard to imagine, gravity is a manifestation of the curvature of space-time, and the two are exactly the same.

Therefore, Kaihara Qiongno, the No. 1 LV.4 of Tokiwadai, stopped the passage of time.

No, it's not.

Mikoto Misaka immediately dismissed her idea.

This is definitely not something that any LV.4 can do!

At this moment, in the moment of becoming eternal, she witnessed the birth of the eighth place LV.5 in the school city.

To Mai Trin's own surprise, although she was abrupt by this way, she was not surprised in the slightest.

Perhaps, I have thought about it subconsciously from the beginning.

How could a girl like her stand still?

In fact, Mai Trin is also well aware that the reason why Qiongno has stayed there is only because the mathematical tools required for her abilities are much more complex than her own electromagnetic force, nothing more.

There is no doubt that she will one day catch up with herself, or even surpass herself.

Some people spend a lifetime getting to places, and some people are there as soon as they are born. This is what a great pianist in history said about Liszt.

Vaguely, even Mai Tamin had some similar, complex feelings.
