Chapter 20 and Epilogue

Strictly speaking, there is no end to the vampire affair.

Because, [there are no such vampires].

The so-called vampire legend is nothing more than people's subjective imagination.

This is what the security guards have been told.

It is true that a teenager was sniped, but the next day, there was neither news nor reporting, as if nothing had existed.

Seems...... Everyone forgot about the boy.

Kawajin went to look for the excited girl yesterday, but she only looked strange at herself.

"Hello? Excuse me, do you have anything to do with me? ”

Seeing her speak like a stranger, Kawajin closed his mouth, said sorry, went to the wrong door, got a tolerant smile from the other party, and the two never crossed paths again.

That's it.

No, it was further expanded.

Forgotten.

How obvious is this, there is someone who manipulates the memories of the people involved.

Kawashen's first reaction is one of the school city LV5,A powerful spiritual ability called [Mind Control],It is said that this ability has all the superpowers of the spiritual system alone.,From voyeurism to brainwashing.。 If it's a superpower person of this level, it's really possible to easily deal with it later, right?

(Could it be that my amnesia is also man-made?) No, no, if you are brainwashed, what are you doing with such early memories? οΌ‰

Kawajin smiled bitterly and dismissed the idea and shook his head.

He was about to dial Tokieda's phone, but first, his mobile phone rang, and looking at the familiar name on it, he pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Saten-san."

"Hibiki-kun~! Yesterday's vampire topic! Did you catch it? Is it true! Sure enough, it exists! Bloodsucker! ”

On the phone, Zuotian Tears said several questions related to vampires.

If she hadn't remembered it, Kawajin would have been worried about whether there was something wrong with her spirit and memory, which caused her to hallucinate.

"No, how can I say it, I made a mistake. It's just a gangster using drugs and nails to disguise vampires. ”

He lied with his conscience, and sure enough, even if he was over the phone, he could still feel the helplessness of Zuotian's tears.

"It's really fake......"

After chatting with her a few more words and comforting her, Kawajin cut off the phone.

The vampire incident ended in this way, and Kawajin suddenly felt as if he had become idleβ€”in fact, he had only been working for a day to track down the vampire incident.

After thinking about it, he went to another place.

Jail.

Kawagami, who has no friends in prison, came here to discuss the problem with a professional he had a relationship with.

If Director Kamiya is going to hide some information from him, then Kawajin will have to find a new researcher who can assist him.

This person, probably the best choice.

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

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's you. I thought it was someone who came to visit me. ”

In a feeble tone, a woman with heavy dark circles sat opposite Kawajin, and the two of them were in the meeting room of the detention center, and the two of them, isolated by bulletproof glass, could only talk through something similar to a telephone.

That's right, this woman is Haruo Kiyama.

The one who was arrested in the previous fantasy Mide incident.

But strangely, instead of wearing a prison uniform, she wore a black ladies' suit, referencing the way she wore her previous white coat, giving people the feeling of a white-collar elite - it was just that this expression was too decadent.

"That, accident, can you still wear a suit in the detention center?"

Kawajin subconsciously asked his most curious question.

"Oh, this?"

Kiyama Harusheng lowered his head, raised his hand to pinch his neckline, and fanned it.

"You don't know, I'm out on bail. I'm leaving here today. It's a coincidence that you're here - it's really hot to talk about, and it's better to ventilate the white coat for research. ”

"Hey, I'll help you adjust the temperature, please don't take it off!"

Kawajin hurriedly stopped this moving urban legend......

"It's rare that I'm looking for you today with something serious......"

"What's the matter? It's a shame that you're looking for me, a criminal, to ask about it. ”

Haruo Kiyama changed his position, crossed his legs, supported his head with one hand on his knees, and looked disinterested.

"I can't help it, but you're the only brain specialist I know. And, I believe in your love for your students. ”

"It's really unreasonable trust. In short, what is the problem? ”

Haruo Kiyama shook his head, urging him to ask questions.

"The first question,In the school city,Is there the kind of person who operates several people at the same time,Or even dozens of people,Is there a mental ability to rewrite their memories?"

"Yes, there are two of them that I know of alone, and if you log into the library, you can probably find more."

Kiyama Haruo said very vaguely, after all, her major is the study of synesthesia, and it is understandable that she does not know much about people with mental control abilities.

"That'...... The overdevelopment of superpowers may damage the brain of the person with the ability, or to put it bluntly, may it cause amnesia? ”

"I haven't heard of it. But...... It is not completely impossible, after all, the human brain is a very delicate existence, and the more sophisticated the instrument, the more likely it is to cause problems in the whole because of small parts problems. ”

"One more point...... About, the replacement of superpowers...... For example, if there is a person who is [Perspective Ability], is there a way to make his ability [Atomization] or something? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Kiyama Haruo looked at him quietly, and the expression "I don't understand what you want to say" was clearly written on his face, which could only read the expression of tiredness.

"That...... Mr. Kiyama? ”

"I'm sorry, because this assumption is so stupid that I don't know what to make for a while."

"Well, anyway, is it possible?"

"Hmm...... If you have to treat [Operating Current] and [Operating Electromagnetic Waves] as two abilities, such similar abilities are likely to have [Ability Replacement], but this is also a saying that the concept is secretly changed. Like you said, the perspective ability is replaced by the atomization ability, which involves the origin, and I think it's unlikely. ”

"With drugs, or rather, with fantasy Mitsute or something?"

"How is that possible?"

At the mention of the fantasy master, Kiyama Harusheng had a weak expression on his face, she shook her head, and then, as if she suddenly thought of something, her eyes widened, and she confirmed the letter suspiciously: "Isn't this a joke or something?" ”

"Well, our relationship isn't good enough to joke, is it?"

At this time, Kiyama Haru Sheng finally showed a serious thinking appearance, and I have to say that when she became serious, she unexpectedly gave people a sense of reliability.

"No, I can't think of that possibility. I still have some experience in the use of superpowers or the study of AIM force fields, but I haven't heard of such a thing as [replacement] ability. I've only heard of experimental plans that import data from people with similar abilities to people with high-level abilities and artificially create people with higher-level abilities. However, the Dark May Project also ended in failure...... Have you met someone who has been replaced? ”

"Yes."

"I see, no wonder you're asking me."

Kiyama Haruo smiled bitterly, showing an expression of understanding.

Because, she has experienced something similar, so, she knows it very well. This kind of [school city is the enemy] can't find an object to rely on in the mood.。

Because she is such an existence, she will be pleaded by him.

An enemy's enemy may not necessarily be a friend, but at least it's better than dealing with an enemy.

"Unfortunately, I haven't done any research on this, but if anyone succeeds, then I'm sure it can. I don't have the time or energy to help you look into this, sorry. ”

Haruo Kiyama affirmatively said no.

Because I still have to find a way to revive the students, I don't have time to investigate other things.

"Well, that's the expected answer. So, can you ask a few more questions? ”

"You've asked so much, just finish asking."

"Now, Mr. Kiyama...... Do you think it's possible that there is a [voice] that disables the abilities of superpowers? ”

"Possibly. The same principle as the fantasy master, through auditory stimulation, the five senses of the superpowered can resonate, and then interfere with the operation of the brain, which can prevent the superpowered from using the superpower. What's wrong? If you say, you should be able to think through this kind of problem. ”

"Well, I'm actually curious about another question...... You say, is it possible that a superpowered person can still use his superpowers at will in such an environment? ”

Kawajin asked another strange question.

This is also something that makes him haunted.

If the sound emitted by the [ability reduction] device can really make people unable to use superpowers, then why do you hear it yourself, but it doesn't have any effect?

"I don't know."

The expected answer, after all, Kiyama Harusheng has been in his own research world before, and he didn't pay attention to these things, he was originally imagining its principle out of thin air, and now he wants to imagine a principle, and then use theory to explain and apply it......

How can this be done?

Moreover, Chuanshen's problem is so tricky, it seems like he is deliberately finding fault......

"What you're talking about is a special case within a special case, and I can't imagine what the situation will be. But if there is such a person, I would love to study him. ”

Haruo Kiyama smiled. Obviously, the person opposite her was the culprit who sent her to the detention center, however, unexpectedly, he didn't hate him.

"That'...... If you say...... If you would like to cooperate with me in the research right of this research material, do you have any consultation? ”

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

When Kawajin returned to the research institute, it was already noon.

The director is still immersed in his research work today, and when he heard Kawajin call the door, this time he didn't even say that set of genius words, but simply said a [please enter], which shows how busy he is now, so busy that he doesn't even have time to brag about himself.

Entering the room, Director Kamiya was in a frenzy, his hands were tapping on the keyboard rapidly, and three monitors were around him, this man was like a skilled pianist, dealing with three computers at the same time, counting the information that flashed on the screen into his brain.

"Well, Director?"

Kawajin called him timidly.

"Huh? What's the matter, Kami-kun, as you can see, the genius director Kamiya is conducting research on genius, and now there is no extra time, please compress the content into three sentences, thirty-two words. ”

Kawajin looked at the back of his head helplessly, not knowing what to say.

"That, the report about the battle......"

"Oh oh oh I just waited for this! The best piece of the missing piece! ”

Kawajin was taken aback by the suddenly raised voice of Director Kamiya, only to see this thin researcher jump up from his chair and snatch the document in his hand, which recorded the battle record between himself and the atomized vampire boy yesterday, as well as his own summary.

It can be understood that this is a combat report.

Obviously, he asked Kawajin not to disturb him before, but now he stopped his work all of a sudden.

Kawajin secretly looked at the screen, and it seemed to be an analysis of everyone's superpowers. Because it happens to be on the page of Shimazaki Chiyuki now, the girl is a little nervous about the ID photo - by the way, because the photo of this profile is two years ago, Shimazaki Chiyuki looks much younger than now.

"Uh-huh, sure enough, it's the same as what Yushima Nakai said, oops, atomization ability. Tut-tut, Chuanjin, do you think ......"

"Wait a minute, I don't think I can simulate this ......"

Kawajin quickly shook his head, turned his flesh into mist, and then put it together...... This is too terrifying, Kawajin doesn't feel that he has such great ability, how much it hurts.

"Heyβ€”don't you push your limits?"

"Let me refuse!"

"Really? Not negotiable? ”

Director Kamiya had a pitiful expression like an abandoned dog.

"It's not negotiable...... My ability is not the ability of physical mutation, not to mention anything else, what are you going to do with my skeleton! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Cut. ”

Director Kamiya also seemed to feel that this was unlikely, so he cut and seemed to have given up.

This person is just not good, it's too easy to come up with some kind of idea as soon as his brain is hot. It's just that his whimsical and frightening accuracy rate, coupled with the fact that he does have the genius of a researcher, is why he can achieve so many results.

Seeing that he was obsessed with his report, Kawajin bit his lip and thought for a while, but in the end, he still couldn't hold back.

"Director."

"Huh?"

"You know, I'm starting to lose my memory?"

"You mean the damage to the hippocampus? I know. ”

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Half of it."

Director Kamiya said it without concealment. Kawajin clenched his fists, trying to suppress the urge to squash him.

"Which half?"

"Well, that's a long story."

"Forget it, don't explain it to me for so long...... What is the other half of the reason? ”

"It's you."

Director Kamiya didn't look back, and looked at Kawagami's research report intently, as if he didn't have this topic to heart.

"You'll have amnesia, it's your own problem. There is something in your body that resembles a human, but is not quite the same as a human. That kind of thing will eat up your body. I just accelerated the process. ”

Director Kamiya smiled secretly.

"However, that's all I can say~ Kawajin-kun. How do you choose? Is it to kill me and leave the institute? Still is...... Continue to use it as my research material.,How about becoming the strongest person in the school city? ”
