Chapter 2 The Ancient City of Xiao that was tracked
"Yes, yes. The computer management and maintenance of the security department is quite good"
Shallot made a mid-air tapping keyboard motion, then waved his hand and said 'goodbye' before leaving. Her tone was as relaxed as going to a supermarket to work as a cashier, but the security department that ran the commune was not a place for ordinary people to come and go casually.
"I've always thought that that looks, personality and genius programmer are a foul when put together, and I can't believe it to this day... Indeed, her grades have been outstanding since she was a child."
Watching the shallots leave, Yase Hangerlang dragged his cheeks locally.
Yase and Asashi have known each other since before elementary school, and they have lived on this island for more than 10 years, and they can be said to be the first residents of String God City in Usuiki's generation. It has been less than 20 years since the city was built on the island.
"As long as it can help me with my exam preparations."
Ubiki said with his head down. Yase observed Usui and said in a casual tone:
"Speaking of which, it's really surprising that shallots can help people learn. That guy hates it."
"Hate? Why?
"Isn't it annoying to be thought to have a good head or to pick a textbook or something? Don't look at her like that, she suffered a lot when she was a child."
"I've got a perfect score every time, and I've never seen anyone say that."
"You..."Yase replied angrily, "I remember that your grades seemed to have somehow risen three months ago, and your personality became very cold, and you even became the first school grass in the school later." β
"Do you know how many girls you've dumped in the past three months?" Yase said angrily, "145, a full 145." β
"Really... I don't really know that."
Distressed by the tedious factorization, he said coldly.
"Hehe, this is incredible? Did you know that you have become the first focal point of our school? β
Yase tilted her head exaggeratedly, and then muttered as if deliberately.
But Ubiki shook his head, 'No, nothing'.
"Hey, it was the girls who confessed to me themselves, and I was also very choked. He was also warned once by the student council president. β
"Yes, yes?"
Yase shrugged his shoulders in frustration and covered his eyes, as if to say: This guy is hopeless. The friend's suspicious behavior made Ubiki slowly raise his head.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing, then it's almost time for me to go back"
"Huh?"
"No, no, my homework has also been copied, and the shallots are not here, so there is no point in studying. I only have one make-up exam, and as long as I have time for tonight, I will be able to deal with it. Anyway, you should work hard."
Goodbye - the friend stood up after tidying up his things, and Ui Bing looked up at him in a daze.
It seems that Yase took advantage of the chaos to finish copying his part of the homework.
On the other hand, the Usui operation barely moved at all. The preparation for the make-up exam has not been done yet, and it is natural that the homework has not been copied, and this obvious gap is enough to destroy the heart of Ubiki who is already on the edge of the cliff.
Good grades have nothing to do with not completing homework, and I have too much homework. β
"Eh, it's annoying..."
Usui Bing, who had been left in the restaurant by a person, lay on the table again. It was said that he was a little hungry, but now there was no money left in Dou Bing's wallet to add vegetables and rice. Satisfying your hunger with sports drinks is barely enough.
When it comes to vampires, most people have the impression that they can survive with wine and tomato juice, but in fact they are not only hungry but also eat like the average person. In this way, it may feel like I was deceived, but in short, it is quite powerful to be sleepy during the day and not have other mobility problems.
Ui Bing stared blankly at the white workbook in front of him.
Suddenly, he remembered something he had heard in class. In the evolution of various organisms, the species with the highest survival rate are the most adaptable, and correspondingly, the organisms that are currently alive are even the offspring of those species that are most adapted to the environment.
This is called survival of the fittest, natural selection.
It doesn't matter if it's so simple β no one thinks so, but it's really easy to understand to be honest.
Conversely, those organisms that have been eliminated by nature are also species that cannot adapt to their environment.
In ancient times, the same can be said for the fact that there were heroes and superhumans with similar powers, and that no race with similar powers survived.
They failed to adapt to their surroundings.
Xiao Jiebing knows this very well.
No matter how strong the power is, how strong ** is, even if it is known as the strongest vampire in the world, but these abilities are useless in modern society.
Because I can't even solve a single page of the thin workbook within the scope of the make-up exam.
"I'll go back too, Nagisa guy, don't forget to prepare your meal."
Nian Bing, who was so chattering, put the textbook and workbook into his school bag, picked up the bill and stood up.
After settling the bill at the front desk, there were only a few change left in the wallet that was supposed to be regrettable. If this continues, tomorrow's lunch is doomed to be exhausted.
How do you open your mouth to borrow money from your sisterβUsui thought seriously and walked towards the exit of the store. Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes narrowed at the dazzling sunset.
The front of the restaurant, opposite the intersection.
The figure of a young girl appears in the backlight.
The girl was carrying a black guitar case and was a schoolgirl in uniform.
She stood wordless with her back to the setting sun.
As if waiting for Usui to be iced, he stood motionless.
String God Island is an artificial island located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, about 330 kilometers above the sea south of Tokyo. The island is a completely artificial city made up of a super-large floating structure called a gigafloat.
With a total area of about 180 square kilometers and a total population of about 560,000, it is administratively called Tokyo Metropolitan City, but it is actually an independent administrative system.
Due to the warm current, the temperature fluctuates gently, and the average temperature can reach more than 20 degrees Celsius even in severe winters.
The island is located in the tropics, with summer all year round.
However, the island's main industry is not tourism.
Not to mention sightseeing, the entry into the island is quite strict, so it is impossible for ordinary tourists to get in.
Xianjin City is an academic city, with pharmaceuticals, precision equipment, high-tech material manufacturing, and so on. Japan's leading major corporations and research institutes are home to the city.
Research in certain fields is only allowed on this artificial island, far from the Japanese mainland.
Demon Special Zone.
This is another name that the city of strings has been given.
Orcs, elves, half-demons, artificial lifeforms, and vampires β demons on the brink of extinction, who have been greatly reduced in numbers by the destruction of nature and the fighting between humans, have been recognized and protected on this island.
At the same time, their organization and special abilities will be analyzed and used in the scientific industry.
- The city of the gods is an artificial city built for this purpose.
Most of the island's inhabitants are researchers and their families, as well as people with special abilities recognized by the city.
Of course, this also includes the demons who are the objects of research, and in return, these demons who help the operation of the special zone will also be given corresponding citizen rights, and they can study, work, and live like humans.
String God City is a model city where demons and humans coexist.
In another sense, it's also a threshold for a huge laboratory.
"Then again, the vampire's body is really annoying, it's so hot."
Ubiki used the hat of his clothes to cover his eyes deeply, and he desperately resisted the light with a stinky face.
On this hot and humid island, the perceived temperature is higher than the indication on the thermometer. The winds that have been heated by the sea in the middle of summer are in a sense stronger than the winds of the desert. Vampires are very weak to sunlight, but before that, this environment was extremely cruel to the average human.
It takes about 15 minutes by train from the restaurant to Usui Bing's house. However, in order not to spend the little change left, the only option left for Usui Bing was walking. Basking in sunlight enough to burn his skin, he walked through the shopping malls along the coast.
Then he made a casual gesture to confirm that he was behind him, and muttered to himself boredly.
"It's... Let's be targeted. β
The girl was following about 15 meters behind the ancient city.
She's wearing the same girl's uniform as Satoshi in Caihai Academy.,The neckline is not a bow tie but a ribbon.,It should be a student of the middle school.γ
Her face is not remembered in memory, she is quite beautiful, but there is always an atmosphere like a wild cat that is not close to humans. Maybe I'm not used to short skirts, and occasionally unsuspecting actions will make people sweat.
She kept a certain distance from Ubi, walking at his pace. Usui stopped her and didn't leave, and then sometimes hid behind a tree next to the road. Although she said this, she didn't mean to talk.
"It seems that the Lion King agency has sent a watchman by my side. Yukina Hiiragi ...... It seems that we are really close to fate. β
"By now, I guess I've gotten my message from Nagisha."
After discussing several possibilities, Usui finally came to this conclusion.
Xiao Naisha is the younger sister who is one year younger than Ubiki.,It's also a student of the middle school of Caihai School Park.γ If you want to say that a middle school student who doesn't know each other will have any interest in the ancient city, if you guess correctly, it is inseparable from her sister.
But that doesn't explain why the girl didn't come to talk, and it's not fun to play tail in this scorching sun.
No, to be honest, it's not impossible to have another possibility that Usui will be followed by strangers, it's just that I don't want to think in this direction.
"Let's see what's going on"
Ubiki said as he walked into the shopping supermarket that happened to appear in front of him. The destination is a game center near the entrance of the mall, and although I don't know why Guitar Girl is following her, if Usui Ice walks into the store, she will definitely make a move.
And in fact, the girl was visibly shaken, she even forgot to hide herself and stood motionless in front of the store.
I don't want to throw Ubiki with her, but if she walks into the store like this, she might collide with Ubi, which is not easy to do, she is in such a dilemma.
No, to be precise, she was just wary of a store of unknown origin like the game center, which could be seen from her like that.
As the sun sets, the girl stands alone in front of the shopping mall, which feels so illusory and fragile. ** Ubiki was observing, and at the same time, a sense of guilt that seemed to have done something too much came to him.
Whew-Ui Bing sighed and reluctantly appeared in the aisle. It's not a way to hide all the time, so let's go talk to her yourself. (Markne)
