Mikoto Misaka once had a dream.

Nightmare.

In her dreams, she was entangled by countless people.

by herself.

To be precise, to be pestered by her own clones.

Those people, like seaweed, stretched out their slender and white arms, as if with suction cups, and pressed tightly against Misaka Mikoto's body. The heavy pressure dragged her down into the deep darkness.

These people had blood on their bodies, and everyone was shouting: Why did you make me?

This dream has been lost lately.

As the saying goes, dreams are thoughts. Thinking about it day and dreaming at night.

In other words, the source of the troubles is solved, and the nightmare will pass naturally.

Generally speaking, in dreams, humans can never overcome nightmares.

It's very simple: it's because humans feel scared that they have nightmares. Those who are not afraid of heaven and earth will not have nightmares at all, and those things that others think are terrible and invincible do not matter at all in their eyes, and they will naturally not be afraid.

Thanks to the man in front of her, Mikoto Misaka was finally able to get out of the nightmare of being entangled by her own clone.

But......

"These ...... Could it be ......?"

Mikoto Misaka's voice rarely sounded a little weak, as smart as her, when she had already thought of what the situation was, but she didn't want to admit it in her heart.

The big boy who was always smiling, he ...... It is also regarded as a ...... Human testing of the material too.

"Just ordinary enemies."

Hibiki Kawajin also kept smiling, his face unwavering.

"......"

"Just the enemy. It doesn't matter what they look like. I am like that, and they are like that. ”

Hibiki Kawajin also said, squatting down as if he was a little nostalgic, and inserted back the arm that had just been stepped on by Mikoto Misaka and caused the sutures to break.

"Why!"

Mikoto Misaka couldn't accept it, and let out a low roar similar to that of a beast.

For a junior high school girl, especially a junior high school girl who longs for heroes, longs to save the world, and naively believes that justice will prevail, Hibiki Kawajinya's chaotic and unreasonable values are too cruel

Kawajin was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Because, they are my clones." ”

"So, shouldn't it be salvation?"

"There is no salvation for a soldier."

He calmly and affirmatively interrupted Mikoto Misaka's words.

"What's more, it's me who is a terrorist who is indiscriminate, and we have no salvation. Someone was hired, and then, the mission was accomplished. No matter the cost. He ...... [I] am like this, and they must be like this. ”

He originally wanted to use him to refer to Ryoma Kawagami, but considering that Mikoto Misaka didn't know this person at all, he simply changed it to the first person.

Since he is already a community with a shared future with him, he can no longer separate the two of them too much. Hibiki and Ryoma are already one.

"So ......"

"So, when we meet because of the mission, I can only annihilate."

He lowered his head, his hair curtain hanging down, and his face could not be seen.

Mikoto Misaka speaks.

She couldn't accuse him of anything.

She didn't know what to say.

She's a complete outsider.

Although she had a similar experience, if you look closely, the experience is completely different.

Mikoto Misaka's clone received an order to be killed.

And the clone of Hibiki Kawajin, who received the order to [kill].

Put yourself in your shoes, what would Mikoto Misaka do if she was besieged by her own clones?

Although she can't think of an answer yet, considering her personality, I'm afraid she will choose to die.

After all possibilities are gone, choose to atone for your sins with death.

But Kawajin is different.

"I don't want to die."

He said this very firmly.

"So, no matter what dirty means I use, no matter who I blame, I want to live."

He repeated it firmly.

Mikoto Misaka was speechless. Kawajin silently cleaned up this messy battlefield, and judging from his ability, it was still easy to deal with this place if it was not too bloody.

He made his clones, each one as if they were lying down and resting.

But with the stiff expression on his face that was about to die, he didn't move.

I always feel that if I try to get rid of that stiff expression, it will be as if I have betrayed them.

They should hate themselves for doing it.

Yes, it is necessary to hate.

He thought so.

In the distance, the sound of sirens was heard.

Getting closer.

This shows that the people of the previous organization have either been wiped out or have fled.

Now, it's time for the aftermath.

As soon as Mikoto Misaka heard this voice, she subconsciously grabbed Kawajin's arm and dragged him away without saying anything.

Judging from her values, it is difficult to agree with the almost abusive behavior of Kawajin. However, from her standpoint, there was no way to come up with a better solution.

I can't, I grabbed him by the collar and scolded him: "You are so powerful, why can't you think of the best of both worlds?!" She also knows that she can't just throw her troubles at others.

Mikoto Misaka escaped with him all the way to a hotel.

Generally speaking, hotels in the school city will be fully booked during the Daba Star Festival.

Of course, the four words "generally speaking" can also be understood as "there are always exceptions".

For example, the hotel Mikoto Misaka is going to now.,It's the premier hotel in the school city.。

The meaning of second to none is expensive.

Perhaps,Some people will be suspicious,In the school city,So many LV3LV4 capable people,Everyone's subsidies are so much,There's no shortage of money at home,Why don't you live there?

The answer is, habit.

It's like a grandson who has tens of millions of assets, but his grandfather is used to hardships and hard life, and he can't enjoy a luxurious life.

Those parents outside the school city too,Most of them are used to their usual work.,Accustomed to the price of an ordinary hotel.,Look at this kind of high-end to scary place.,Don't even think about it.,Just left.。

Although their children make enough money, their parents always think more. This money has to be used to prepare to buy a house, prepare to save, manage money, and can't eat in the school city for a lifetime? In the future, you have to get married, and you have to have savings. Parents can become very shrewd people at times like these.

By the way, Mikoto Misaka's mother is here.

This kind of place, because it is too high-end, must be dissatisfied. Here, it's either an advanced and enlightened parent, or a mother like Mikoto Misaka, who is already very rich.

Of course, Mikoto Misaka didn't go to her mother, and she always felt that if that person was there, the atmosphere would become very unserious.

Moreover, if you bring Kawajin (a man) over, then you can't explain your relationship with him.

Simply, with Mikoto Misaka's financial resources - as LV5, she enjoys the top allowance treatment - there is no problem in opening a hotel room.

Except that the subtle and warm cheering eyes of the front desk lady made her very unhappy.

Taking Kawajin all the way into the room, Mikoto Misaka slammed the door shut.

"So, what the hell is going on? What's going on with those people? What are you involved in? ”

Mikoto Misaka asked all her questions.

At first, just because I saw the flames rushing to the sky, I came to save people and saw that exaggerated scene.

Now, she's in a mess.

"Sorry, before that, I'd like to make a call."

Kawajin silently took out his mobile phone. Mikoto Misaka saw that his face was serious and his expression was serious, and she felt in her heart that he might be serious.

"Okay, I see, I'll go take a shower first and finish the call before then, okay?"

"Thank you."

Kawagami's answer made Mikoto Misaka even more worried.

If it's a weekday Kawajin, I'll probably joke with voyeurism or something. Now, he doesn't even have room to joke with himself.

Mikoto Misaka went to the bathroom, closed the door, turned on the faucet, listened to the sound of the water, and couldn't help but sit down with her knees crossed.

"What the hell am I doing......

Of course, taking a shower is just an excuse, she just wants an excuse to leave, and she is not ready to actually wash.

——————————

Kawajin dialed a number.

This number is so familiar that you don't need to use a phone book at all, you can recite it directly.

This is the number of Director Kamiya.

He's the only clue right now.

It's better to say that everything about Kawajin points to this person.

The phone went through quickly.

"Hi - the genius director Kamiya ...... you"

"Shut up Kamiya...... I ask questions, you answer. ”

"Oh, Kawajin-kun is really unexpectedly tough—okay. Looks like it's almost there. ”

On the side of Director Kamiya's voice, it was obvious that he had switched to serious mode.

"I have only one question: who am I?"

"Well, that's an interesting question, Hibiki-kun. You...... Who is it? How would I know? ”

"Don't be sloppy with me, I already know about my relationship with Kawajin Ryoma. I also know,You're responsible for getting me to the school city.。 ”

"yes, I know you do. That's why I ask—how do I know what kind of [person] you are? ”

Director Kamiya's sentence is very frivolous, but the tone is extremely serious, revealing an unbelievable sense of seriousness.

"You're not human at all. What do you want me to say? ”

"Sure enough. So, what exactly am I? ”

"Want to know? So let me ask you first, do you know what the last job of Ryoma Kawajin was? ”

Kawajin shook his head, and then reacted, he didn't see himself shaking his head, and was about to speak, but Director Kamiya smiled first: "Of course you don't know. Because—his last job is to recycle you. ”

"Me?"

Kawajin paused for a moment.

Before, the bee-eater Cao Qi had tried to read her deep memories, and at that time, she gave the statement that it was boxy, something like a book, something that glowed.

"Yes. It's you. Do you know, Hibiki-kun, in this world, there is [magic]. ”

"What nonsense."

"The proof is you. You are the product of magic. ”

“……”

"In this world, there is magic. Of course, that's another topic, and I'm just going to talk about things that have to do with you. Your true identity is the Book of Spells. ”

"Ah...... Yes? ”

Things were so confusing that Kawajin couldn't understand what he was talking about.

"You probably don't know, there's such a thing as a magic book. In this world, there is a mobile library that can store 103,000 magic books. The name - well, you're probably not interested anyway. I'll just say that it has something to do with you. In short, the power of the magic book is very strong, so it is usually collected and kept by the magic society. But...... You're a special case. That's why it's being robbed. ”

“………… Okay, let's not talk about whether this late-stage supernatural conversation is something wrong with your brain. Assuming that what you say is true, then who am I? ”

"Taiping Technique". In the history of China, there is an excellent magic book that guides the world to a peaceful and prosperous era. ”

"Seriously?"

Kawajin silently looked at his body, no matter how he looked at it, it was a human being, and he couldn't see any traces of books.

It seems that in comics, there are characters whose ability is to turn each other into a book, but there are no similar traces on their own bodies.

"Seriously. That's why there are so many mysteries in you. ”

Information...... I can't say it's in tandem, but at least, it makes sense.

If the god of Sichuan is the Book of the Demon Dao, then it is logical.

Ryoma Kashimi was tasked with investigating the Book of Demons in China, then tracking down the Book of Demons, and finally died during the mission to recover the Book of Demons.

As a demon book, he awakened his consciousness and relied on the body of the Kawajin Ryoma. At this time, he was already integrated with the corpse.

So...... The second group of people who came to recover,To be precise,It's the director of Kamiya.,He came over.,Along with himself and the other corpses.,Take it to the school city.。

No, he knew all these things, and he knew that he would possess the corpse...... I'm afraid, he doesn't know who he will possess himself. So, he had to recover the bodies of all the people.

Does this logic make sense? It seems to be smooth, but Kawajin has a [sense of disobedience] that he can't let go.

"Kamiya...... Who the hell are you? ”

"Me? - Of course I'm a school city, no, all of Japan, no, the world's greatest genius. Don't be in such a hurry, Chuan Shenjun, the time to reveal everything is not far off. It's coming soon—the last day. ”

The phone was cut off when it came here.

Director Kamiya took the initiative to hang up the phone.

"Good work, Nai-kun."

He teased in a light-hearted tone.

About three hundred meters in front of him, a giant man covered in muscles, Nai Mi was holding a robot soldier in each hand, with a depressed expression on his face.

"Don't call so easily when others are protecting you!!"

"Ah, that's strict."

Director Kamiya smiled.

Yes, he is being attacked.

The research institute was invaded by enemy iron and steel soldiers.

The enemy's purpose, of course, is only one.

The life of Director Kamiya.

"Oh, it looks like they've finally found out that I'm [that person]. Mingjing-kun, you have to protect me well~"

"If you want others to protect you, don't go to dangerous places!"
