Chapter XVII. Investigation
"That...... You're okay, right? β
Mikoto Misaka asked timidly.
A girl with a fiery personality like her would show timidity, which is already very abnormal. If this is the case, it can only be explained that there is something that shocks her even more.
That's Hibiki Kawajin.
The man who escaped without saying a word by smashing the glass is now back with a laptop in his hand.
Although he is still the Kawajin that Mikoto Misaka is familiar with: black broken hair, red goggles, and red and white sportswear, but his temperament is so different that it is hard to believe.
It's as if twin brothers have changed each other's clothes, although they are similar in appearance, but the inner essence is something else.
She can understand to some extent, Kawajin and Saten are also friends, watching the tragedy of his friend falling into a coma, and besides, it is caused by himself, he will be sad, he will grieve, and it is understandable that he will do some strange things in sadness and grief.
But...... Does the average person change so much?
The current Sichuan God is like an unsheathed sword, sharp, cold, and without a bit of human taste.
It's like a machine.
He quietly handed the computer to Hatsuharu, and then whispered to her to explain that the fantasy Mitech was a song, and wanted her to investigate the Internet to see who uploaded the song. Then Kawajin turned around and answered Mikoto Misaka's question: "Do you mean me?" No problem. β
His tone was calm enough that anyone familiar with Kawajin would find it unusual.
"It doesn't look like it......"
It's the first time Mikoto Misaka has seen this kind of cold Kawajin, and she has the impression that a man named Kawajin Hibiki should always show a bad smile, deliberately angering the people around him for fun, in short, a guy who is so lively that people want to skin him alive.
But now...... Surprisingly quiet.
It's so quiet, it's like a different person.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time you've seen me like this. Don't worry, it's like the computer has [Low Consumption Mode], [Balanced Mode] [High Performance Mode], I'm just switching myself to the most suitable form for now. β
Kawajin barely smiled as he said this, but it quickly disappeared. It was obvious that he was not smiling happily, and there was a sense of routine, even completing a task.
Switching the focus of thinking, Kawajin himself calls it "switch".
One person's energy is limited, and it is difficult for humans to think about multiple things at the same time.
The most typical example is that if you sleep during class, you will not be able to listen to the class. If you desert, it will be difficult to remember what the teacher said, and if you listen carefully in class, you will not be able to secretly play with your mobile phone at the same time, and there are too few people who can think in plurality at the same time.
If someone tries to do these things at the same time, during class, while sleeping, deserting, listening to lectures, and playing with their mobile phones, the conclusion is that none of these things can be done well. When you sleep, your brain has to rest and can't think, and desertion is exactly the opposite of listening to lectures and the like. If you want to pay attention to the class, you can't desert, you can't sleep, you can't play with your phone, and the same is true for other things.
You can't have it both ways, so there's a matter of prioritization β even if everyone ends up playing on their phones or sleeping...... Anyway, it's a lot more fun than class.
What Kawajin does is similar, making a distinction between the [priorities] of things that his brain processes.
On weekdays, the grinning Sichuan God focuses on how to follow the other party's mood and disguise himself as a harmless guy. That is, it was Hibiki Kawajin [dealing with interpersonal relationships]. The focus of his thinking is on how to make other people feel disgusted - although I don't know when it began, the focus of this thinking became "how to make yourself feel interesting".
By the way, this is also the reason why he always thinks nonsense on weekdays, because in this mode, Kawajin thinks without focus, what he thinks of is what he wants, there is no goal, there is nothing he wants to think about, and he lets his thinking fly wildly.
And now Kawajin is a combat expert, and he has lined up all the mixed thoughts, and allocated all the resources of the precision machine called Kawajin Hibiki to the field related to the battle.
He used it once when he fought against the Shadows before.
When he took off his most precious goggles, the karma he had to bear as Kawai Shenxiang, he briefly turned on the switch.
When switching to this mode, all the focus of Kawajin's thinking was on how to defeat the enemy. Naturally, his feelings as a human being give people a sense of passing.
As for the result, it was originally an atomic collapse that he couldn't operate well, imitating the collapse of the atom from Mai Ye's Shen Li, and it became a handy attack method, and he was like a copy of Mai Ye, casually releasing rays to attack.
Although it sounds like multiple personalities or schizophrenia, but there are differences, first of all, Kawajin is not split, nor is it multiple, he is still himself, his memory is very clear, and there will be no problem of switching personalities and not remembering other things. Moreover, he only revised the focus of his thinking.
Continuing with the previous computer as an example, multiple personality is a computer with many operating systems, and schizophrenia is to dismantle the computer and then use parts to piece together a plural number of computers. Chuanshen, on the other hand, is the mode of distributing electricity. By allocating resources to different places, you can draw out your own different possibilities.
The same is true of the atomic collapse that he was able to perfectly control before Mai Ye Shenli, although the power is not as good, but the accuracy and speed have made great progress. This is also because in this state, he will give the brain too many [resources] to make it perform more precise calculations and operations.
ββ¦β¦ Sounds so subtle. β
Mikoto Misaka didn't understand what he was talking about, it seemed to be very powerful, but she didn't understand it at all, and just casually expressed her thoughts.
"It doesn't matter, the question now is Fantasy Miteβis there a brain expert? If it's to stimulate superpowers, it's undoubtedly a brain thing. If you know that Fantasy Mite is a song, then the method of stimulation and the specific content have also been determined, and you should be able to guess the target backwards. β
Kawajin no longer thinks uselessly, and his logic is much clearer.
"Hmm...... I'll look it up. β
Chu Chun Li responded, and tapped a few times on the computer, only to see a few screens quickly pop up on it, as if searching for something.
"Ah, yes, recently there was a hospital that hired a scholar who has studied AIM in order to deal with the coma caused by the fantasy Mite. The name is ...... Haruo Kiyama. β
"I see. I'll go over it. β
Kawajin leaned behind her and confirmed the address on it.
Shirai Kuroko looked at him silently, I don't know when, it was clear that this was the branch of the Discipline Commissioner, but the focus of the command had become him, an outsider.
If you think about it, this is really anti-guest-oriented.
However, Shirai Kuroko unexpectedly didn't hate it.
He's ...... now. The appearance of going crazy like a wounded beast gives Kuroko a feeling that this person can be trusted.
Because...... He was angry.
On weekdays, Kawajin gives people a very false feeling, whether it is his smile or his cheerfulness, they are all disguised for people to see, which makes it difficult to trust. Now, although he is much rougher, he is more trustworthy.
(Even though I tried to get close to my sister, I still can't forgive it.) οΌ
She thought about it for a moment.
"Wait."
Hatsuharu called out to him.
From the beginning, she was supposed to be the most angry, but she didn't show anger towards Kawajin.
From the tears in the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth that she was holding back, it could be seen that she was angrier and sadder than anyone else. Because, the last thing Satian tears said to her was......
"Well, good morning, early spring...... I...... A little scared...... And also...... Good night. β
Probably, these were her last words before she lost consciousness.
That Satian tear, who is more cheerful than anyone else, actually uses fantasy mastery, and from a friend's point of view, it's really unladylike. Generally speaking, it is more normal to scold him by the collar of Chuanshen. In fact, Kawajin is also prepared for this.
However, what is unexpected is that from the beginning to the end, the early spring has maintained the calm attitude that a member of the Discipline Inspection Committee should have.
However, now she stopped Kawajin and told him to wait.
(It's coming.) οΌ
Kawajin nodded and took off the goggles.
Presumably she might have to slap herself, he chose to take them off early in order not to hurt the goggles.
"Take me with you."
Unexpectedly, Hatsuharu didn't want revenge or anything, she was asking Kawajin to take her with her.
"You're going to investigate the uploader of the fantasy master."
Hatsuharu shook his head and retorted, "That kind of thing can be done anywhere. And I don't think anyone who does such a thing would be defenseless. β
This is also common sense.
Fantasy Mide was clearly a premeditated operation, and it's hard to imagine that the person who made this thing would post a program of their own writing on the Internet without any precautions. Then the most likely situation is that the bamboo basket is empty.
So in comparison, it's more efficient to go to a brain doctor, right?
Thinking of this, she added, "And, if there's something wrong here, or there's something found over there, I can act as a contact hub." β
Very rational statement.
"It's reliable."
Kawajin praised her. Waiting for her next.
Yet there was nothing more, a deathly silence here.
"Don't you hit me?"
Kawajin asked in a calm tone.
ββ¦β¦β
Hatsuharu shook her head.
Although she was indeed in turmoil and wanted to destroy something, the rationality of the Discipline Inspector told her that she should not be angry with this man.
He didn't want that to happen.
"yes, that's calm. So, let's go - Misaka, you make a copy of the fantasy Mitsuri and go to a doctor you know to analyze it. By the way, let me ask, do you have a detective agency in Tokiwadai? β
βοΌ What's wrong with one of them? β
Mikoto Misaka didn't understand what was going on, so she asked back. Kawajin didn't answer her, and went straight away with Hatsuharu - through the window.
"Wow wow, please take me away from a normal place!!"
There was a sound of early spring fear in the air, probably because I didn't expect Kawajin to use this way......
Mikoto Misaka smiled bitterly and looked at his fiery appearance, and secretly said in her heart: I didn't expect him to be unexpectedly affectionate and righteous.
is so hippie and smiling on weekdays, but when something happens to Zuotian, he will also show such an expression.
(Speaking of which...... Is it because [my friend's accident] is so angry? Or is it because of ...... The person who had the accident was [Satian Tears], so he was so angry? οΌ
Mikoto Misaka didn't have a certain number in her heart.
"Kuroko, take me somewhere."
"Hmm. Sister, do you want to go to the hospital to see Saten-san? β
"Hmm."
Instead of sending Saten tears to the hospital, Kawajin took her back to his home.
Compared to a place full of disinfectant water, it's really more reassuring at home, right?
For the princess who is about to sleep peacefully, her soft bed is definitely more comfortable than the hard bed in the hospital.
After the phone call between Chu Chun and Satian Tears, he contacted the hospital to save people.
She didn't go to see Saten Tears, and neither did Kawajin, and the two of them probably thought about the same thing, that is, to solve this matter quickly.
However, my friend is in a coma, so someone has to go and see it, right?
Kuroko Shirai understands Mikoto Misaka's feelings, she is that kind of person, the kind of gentle superpower.
She may not be the strongest LV5, but she must be the gentlest LV5.
In the past, she would wander the streets and use herself as bait because of the injury of Tokiwadai's students, but now, she will also set off desperately because of her friend's accident.
(But...... οΌ
Shirai Kuroko unconsciously pressed his arm, and just moving his body like this would touch the wound and send out a slight tingling.
Spatial movement is the most precise superpower, because even if the user is slightly inattentive, there will be movement deviations, and in the best case, it may just fall down in the middle of the movement. In the worst case, it can happen that a part of the body gets stuck in the building, resulting in serious injury.
Shirai Kuroko is very particular about underwear on weekdays, and there is also a reason for this, even the slightest change in the body will affect the accuracy of spatial movement.
But now she's injured, and when she's tracking down the fantasy master, she's been overshadowed by those strange and suddenly increased superpowers.
Although a sneak attack can immediately reveal the mystery, it can't stand many people......
There are too many users of the fantasy master, and when Shirai Kuroko tracks it down, the accumulation of various small injuries is very exaggerated.
"What the hell are you stunned, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to get a taxi, right?"
Mikoto Misaka didn't seem to think of using Kuroko's superpowers, and beckoned her to go to a taxi with her, and Kuroko breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly chased after her.
"Good! That's in the past. "Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
