Chapter 16: The Night That Continues
Gakuen City has a population of more than 2.7 million, of which 80% are students......
This is not an exaggeration, but a declarative sentence. Needless to say, this is an extremely young city, so in addition to the security guards, you have to rely on a discipline committee composed of students to maintain law and order.
So basically, from half past six in the afternoon,It's going to enter the school city's "curfew time"-
There is no curfew in the city itself.,But in order to prohibit students from traveling at night.,Most of the last buses and trains in the school city are in line with the school end time.,At the latest, all of them will stop running at half past six.。 This policy is to discourage students from going out late at night by stopping the use of public transport.
Most of the entertainment facilities in the school park city are concentrated in the 15th and 22nd school districts, and the closing time will be relatively early. Because it is very unrealistic to walk and move completely on the feet in such a large city, it is natural for students to go back to rest over time.
The only thing that really has a curfew is the garden of the school house.,Because the thing that gathers the most in the school garden is the student dormitory.。 But in fact, it should be said that it is an access control, and the mandatory rule is after 10 o'clock in the evening.
Basically, at that point in time, there will be no one gradually, unless there is no need to go to class tomorrow or you know that you will have class tomorrow, but you still have the courage to choose to stay up late.
For example, right now—
The streets are empty, the rows of street lamps are neat, but there are no people, as if under the black sky, as the time approaches the night, this big city of science has gradually fallen into a quiet sleep.
After all, it was late at night after ten o'clock, and although the rumor was still spreading rapidly throughout the city, there was not much direct communication between students in reality outside of the Internet.
Therefore, an extremely ridiculous piece of news can only spread like wildfire in various online communities and chat rooms, and is regarded as nonsense by most people, and is not even qualified as an urban legend.
Because it's ridiculous, and there's no way to say it.
Almost all the guys who were still surfing the Internet so late almost burst into tears after seeing such a message that was absolutely a rumor.
- "Myth busted! The strongest defeat in the school city! ”
- "It is suspected that the first place in the airborne directly, and the mysterious Level5 becomes the strongest eighth place?" ”
- "A new king has been crowned!" ”
……
……
However, Mu Xiu doesn't have time to surf the Internet now, so naturally he doesn't know that such a thing has happened.
Therefore, when the major online communities, chat rooms, etc., are tearing each other apart in full swing, he is like those really good students, ignorant of what is happening on the Internet.
It's just that he is also not studying hard, fighting at night, or hurrying up to supplement sleep or anything. But......
"Well, I don't think I have a cat here." The boy sighed and looked at the black cat nested in the cardboard box, and the sister Misaka who was holding the cardboard box.
He didn't wait for the other party to answer, so he turned his head and looked around in the stairwell on the second floor to see which room he should pack up for the other party to stay for a night apart from his own room.
That's right, stay for one night.
It's not that he dislikes Sister Misaka or anything, he just simply judges that he is not suitable for the other party here.
- After all, it's such a big second-hand bookstore.,Uejo Dangma and himself will be here on weekdays.,As a result, Mikoto Misaka will inevitably haunt often...... Once you hit it, you can't explain it clearly.
Because you know, Sister Cannon still doesn't know about Misaka's sisters, if she mistakenly thinks that she has some evil thoughts about her, and wants to use cloning technology to achieve it......
Tsk, that scene is too beautiful to imagine.
Sister Misaka stood in the stairwell holding the cardboard box, expressionless and very calm: "There is a black cat here, Misaka wanted to point to the inside of the cardboard box, but regretted giving up because he didn't have an extra arm." When you see this hungry black cat, will you choose to leave instead of reaching out to help? Misaka asked. ”
"Of course, it won't like us......" Mu Xiu said angrily.
At this time, the black cat in the cardboard box seemed to deliberately echo his words, cowering in horror, constantly making weak calls, and completely looking frightened and scared.
Animals are much more sensitive than humans, as if they were able to feel the changes in the magnetic field under the earth due to changes in the earth's crust before an earthquake, and they have some abnormal behaviors.
As an electromagnetic-capable person, whether it is the highest-level Mu Xiu or Mikoto Misaka, or the "Defective Power Level 2" like Sister Misaka, the body will unconsciously emit electromagnetic waves to the surroundings and generate a weak magnetic field.
Whether you can make use of such a phenomenon and turn it into a means and skill of your own will not talk about it, but such a phenomenon itself is like human body temperature, it is a normal state, and it is difficult to eliminate, as long as the AIM diffusion force field is still radiating, it will continue to be generated.
So both of these guys are naturally annoying types of animals.
"......" Sister Misaka suddenly stopped moving, her body remained completely still, and although her face was expressionless, she could still feel that she seemed to be a little unhappy.
"Come with me, you can only grieve here tonight......" Mu Xiu seemed to be unaware, turned around and beckoned to her, and was about to walk to a vacant room at the end of the corridor.
"That'...... What about cats?! Misaka asked eagerly. Sister Misaka spoke with a blank face.
"You want to raise?" The boy turned around and asked with the same expressionless face.
“…… It's impossible for Misaka to keep this cat, Misaka replied honestly. ”
"Isn't that okay, let's keep it for now, at most, let the boy feed it-" Mu Xiu turned his head and waved his hand disapprovingly, he is now wealthy, even if he wants to raise all the Misaka sisters, it is not a problem, let alone a cat. It's just that he doesn't like pets very much, and it's just troublesome.
“……”
A few minutes later.
Quickly cleaned up a vacant room, Mu Xiu looked at this simple room with only one bed and a table, tilted his head slightly with one hand, and said, "That's it, that's it...... You're staying here for one night today, and I'll see how to place you tomorrow, by the way, that guy just now should be able to apply for an ID, right? ”
"Misaka pretended not to understand what you were talking about. Misaka wants to know if you have any intention of adopting, and Misaka asks......"
"Wait, this topic will stop immediately, Lord Mu Xiu stretched out his hand in annoyance to stop...... Bah, it's been affected by the way you speak! ”
Mu Xiu shook his head vigorously, and then replied without hesitation, "The area I have here is not large, unless you don't go downstairs all the time, otherwise, no, even if you don't go downstairs all the time, you can't completely avoid the possibility of being discovered by your body." ”
Speaking of this, the young man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "In this case, it seems that you can't be nearby, I should think of a more appropriate way to place you, the nearby area is impossible." I don't know if the doctor can ......."
"Oh, yes. Cut, Misaka replied with a courtesy smile. "Standing at the doorway, Sister Misaka, who is still outside the corridor, don't turn her head.
“……”
Mu Xiu inhaled hard, raised his head slightly and looked at the fluorescent lamp on the wall, as if this could relieve the pressure in his brain.
After a few seconds or so, as if nothing had happened, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, please come and sit here - I want to ask you something, it will take a while, can you?" ”
"......" Sister Misaka looked at his face with emotionless eyes.
……
……
School City, Seventh School District.
Garrison Branch.
After a busy day, Aiho Huangquanchuan, who had to replace the night shift in the iron decoration, yawned, and still kept his eyes open. The cold technology of the computer screen on the desk reflected in her pupils, a dense page full of words and pictures.
This is first-hand on-the-spot account of an "accident" not long ago.
"Level 5 Battle...... An entire building was burned down by the spreading fire, and it was difficult to extract evidence from the scene...... There was also a student who was burned by the fire - no, he was just suffocating from the lack of oxygen? The injuries on his body were artificially beaten......"
She couldn't help but yawn again, then looked at the time display in the lower right corner of the screen, and finally got up lazily to make herself a cup of coffee.
Based on experience, it may be a long time to be busy tonight, and there is a good chance that such things will always go away, after all, cleaning up such a mess is also one of the duties of the guards.
"I just hope that the only injured person who is stranded at the scene can provide enough evidence, and the amount of work to restore and deal with the aftermath in that place is also very large......"
As soon as he thought of this, Aiho Huangquanchuan felt a headache.
Tuk Tuk Tuk –
Just when this super-good-bodied, long-ponytailed female security guard returned to her seat with a coffee cup in her tired hand and just sat down, there was a knock on the office door at this time. One of the nearest guards stood up and opened the door.
Coming in was a middle-aged man with dense scars on his face who looked very scary.
"Chief."
"Good evening, chief."
Everyone greeted him one after another, but they didn't notice the complicated emotions on the chief minister's face for a while.
The middle-aged security guard, with a serious face, stood by the door and looked around the entire office, coughed and cleared his throat. His behavior made the other guards notice that something was wrong, so they stopped what they were doing and looked at their bosses in unison, as if something big had happened.
"Well, the condition of the only person at the scene and the injured person has been stabilized, there is no major problem, and his identity has been found out-" The muscles on the chief's face twitched, and the dense scars on his face were involved, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
"It's the strongest of the seven superpowers in the school city.,The ability is" vector manipulation ",The code name is "one party passes" ......"
"Was it the first place...... What the! First place?! Level5?!! ”
A tall security guard, who was about two meters tall, touched his chin and nodded. Two seconds later, with a loud roar, he slammed the table and stood up with a thud.
In an instant, more than a dozen guards in the office entered a petrified state.
