Chapter Forty-Nine: Magic, the Maiden, and the Chaser
It's still among the dessert shops
At this time, because it was already afternoon, many people were taking advantage of the beautiful wind outside, enjoying the sunbathing, but that scene was too beautiful to dare to look at, a middle-aged uncle in a bikini or something, only wearing pants and a proud figure of mature women and the like, were dangling on the deck abnormally, and the sight of each other was also extremely normal, as if they hadn't seen this strange scene.
It is for this reason that the young man is sitting in the dessert shop with a sigh at this time, never knowing whether it is a man or a woman, and the waiter in a maid's costume takes a menu and looks at it weakly.
"I said...... Hoshikawa-san, this is the thirty-second dessert you ate today, right?", after looking at it for a long time, the boy finally felt a little bored, and looked up at the girl opposite.
"Huh...... Is it the thirty-second part?I don't remember~", the girl said as if she was a little stupid, tilting her head to look out of the window, with an expression of 'I don't know what you're talking about?'
"Hey...... Hoshikawa-san, your character as a girl is too similar, isn't it?", the boy said with a strong sense of awkwardness in his heart. Watching his original body pretend to be crazy and stupid under the manipulation of others, there is always a feeling that I can't speak.
"Well...... There's such a thing as role-playing...... If you try too much, it's easy to forget what kind of person you are......", the expression on the girl's face suddenly converged, and she said as if sighing.
"Huh?", the young man looked at the girl opposite with some incomprehension, and some didn't understand what he meant.
"Everyone's role is like a mask, and playing someone else's role is like putting on a new mask. At first, I still feel awkward when I bring it, but gradually I will get used to it, and people with high acting skills also use this method to imitate others. But ah...... If you wear a mask for a long time, it is very likely that you will not be able to take it off, ah......", the faint solemn expression on the girl's face made people understand that she was not joking at this time.
Although the young man didn't know why the person in front of him had feelings, he still answered slightly: "Can't take it off?"
"Well, sometimes I forget that the mask is not actually myself, and sometimes even the mask is more real than the real face before, isn't this just losing myself? The mask is always just a mask...... Actually, this time, this world-wide magic can also be understood in this way, everyone wears other people's masks, and they all forget their original faces, just like a masquerade, but they all forget who they are. ", the girl explained.
Although it felt a little strange to listen to the girl's mask theory, the boy noticed more about the magic mentioned from the girl's words just now.
"Magic?, what is Hoshikawa-san talking about?", the boy asked, a little confused.
"It's horse monkey shochu...... Oh, no, the magic in reality is not the same as the magical stories we usually come into contact with. ", the girl said as she ate a black tea milkshake.
"Magic...... Isn't that kind of thing supposed to be in fantasy and story?Did Hoshikawa-san get unconscious in cosplay?", the boy asked, tilting his head sideways.
"Do you think the scene we're seeing now may be caused by ability?", the girl pointed to the scene outside the window, a chaotic deck scenery that people couldn't bear to look at. By the way, he also pointed to himself and the young man in front of him, indicating something.
"Ah...... This one cannot be refuted...... Nothing that has ever been learned can explain these things......" the boy said with a deep sense of weakness. Body replacement or something, it was supposed to be something that would only appear in some strange transformation novels, but I didn't expect it to be born in the real world.
"So...... These are magic, the existence of our normal knowledge system. ", the girl explained slightly. Tatsuya had also acquired some basic magical knowledge from Intix, so he still had a certain understanding of these things. As for why he didn't learn those powerful magic spells, Chen was just trying to gain this knowledge, and if he wanted to talk about power, he couldn't even fully grasp many of his own powers, so why bother to learn another ability?
"Ah...... But...... But it's not scientific...... These phenomena cannot be explained, ah......," the boy said suspiciously.
"You can't say that, you see, aren't the abilities we use now also something that could only have appeared in the original story?, and the appearance of flames and ice crystals in the palms of our hands is also commonplace, right?", the girl asked rhetorically.
"Hmm...... But our current ability can be proven by theory, ah......",The sunspot who is deeply educated in the school city,In the face of these problems,It's also a little chaotic.。
"But before we can prove the theory of our ability, don't our abilities exist? The same is true of magic, its existence must also contain some things that we can't understand, but we can't deny the existence of things that we don't know, ......right?
"That's right...... Why is Hoshikawa-san mentioning this? It's just leisure time, but you want to talk about this?", Kuroko interrupted Tatsuna's words, and asked a little tiredly.
"Of course it does, otherwise why would I sit here all afternoon? Tatsumi said as he enjoyed his dessert.
"It doesn't matter, does it?...... Huh?", Kuroko couldn't help but be a little surprised when he felt his voice suddenly blocked in this small area.
"I had a vague sense of hostility when we got on board the other day, but it was just speculation at the time, and now it's almost certain. The girl's white fingertips suddenly clicked in mid-air, pointing out a few characters outside the window, and a mocking look appeared on her face.
"Who are?", Kuroko glanced at the three people's outfits slightly, although they were dressed a little strangely, they were still normal human beings overall.
"It should have been sent by some scientific force, probably knowing what was happening in the 'Ark'. The girl said indifferently, but the sunspot who was using the male body looked a little flustered.
"Eh, so they're targeting us?", Kuroko said nervously.
"Well...... But the trouble is that it's not easy to solve them for the time being, and it is estimated that they are also borrowing other people's bodies now, so they need to have some plans to do it......", the girl said quietly with a few shivering smiles on her face. Although he didn't want innocent people to die because of it, there were more ways to sabotage the plans of these people, wouldn't they?
Although the boy could feel that there was no killing intent on the girl's body at this time, it was more of a strange feeling that made people feel not good.
..................
"Eh, Hoshikawa-san asked me to go back first?", Kuroko was slightly stunned when he heard Tatsu's plan, and looked at Tatsu who was using his body with some concern.
"Rest assured...... It's no problem to deal with a few of them, although those three guys seem to have a certain amount of ability...... But it should only be about 1v4...... It seems that it's just a chasing soldier......", Chen, who was using a woman's appearance, raised his eyebrows lightly and said, not caring at all about the three guys with a strange figure outside.
"Is it really okay?Hoshikawa-san's body is using it now?Is it okay to deal with those people?", Kuroko looked at the girl who was still sitting in her original position, and the worry on her face did not diminish. Maybe on the one hand, it's not easy for Chen to make plans.,Maybe there's also something like worrying about whether your body will be in danger.。
"Ann la, al-la, although the body has been replaced...... But my abilities have been retained. The girl at the table was drinking a milkshake while looking through the menu in the store, probably looking for a dessert that she had never tried before.
"Ah...... Is...... Hoshikawa-san, don't be too calm like this...... Then I'll go back to my room first. Kuroko looked at Chen, who was as usual with a straight face, and couldn't help shaking his head, looking at the confident girl and not asking anything.
"Well...... and so on. The girl was still drinking the milkshake, and she didn't even care too much about the boy leaving.
............
Time flies, and it doesn't take long for the afterglow of the setting sun to shine through the transparent glass in the pastry shop. Perhaps because of the summer, more people prefer other drinks, and most of the people who come to the dessert shop just buy ice cream, and there are not many people coming and going.
The girl closed the book in front of her slightly, looking at the sun that painted half the sky red, squinting and not knowing what to think.
The girl paid the bill and left the dessert shop, swaying slowly along the outer circle of the yacht.
And just after the girl left, three figures passed through the crowd without leaving a trace, and the people around did not notice the abnormality, and the three people followed the girl, keeping a certain distance.
Tatsu had already figured it out at the beginning, using himself as a bait to attract the three of them, after all, in the archives of the other science sides, Tatsu is the pinnacle of 1v5, and Kuroko is just 1v4, if they want to better capture the 'tree diagram designer', then they will definitely start from the weaker Kuroko. This is also the reason why Tatsumi has been staying with Kuroko all the time.
And now with this opportunity to swap bodies, Chen is just right to let the guy who wants to hunt him down. Now Chen has just lost the body of the previous reaction group, but his ability has not been weakened at all, and there is no problem at all in dealing with these three people.
Soon, Chen walked to a remote corner, where for some reason no cameras were installed, so it was also a place where the next three people were very likely to do it.
The girl stood alone, looking at the sea around her through the railing, as if she had no notice of the changes around her.
Somewhere, the light suddenly distorted slightly, and three vague figures peeked through it, and one of them stepped on the air around him and approached the unsuspecting girl without making a sound.
Sting, stinging!
Just when the middle-aged man's hand was still dozens of centimeters away from the girl, he suddenly felt his body stiffen, like a static picture, and the whole person was still in mid-air, as if he was restrained by an invisible force.
Space stagnates!
Chen did not hesitate to use his strength, and then immediately made the big man in front of him faint, looked at a place where the air was distorted next to him, smiled slightly, and said in a sweet female voice:
"Your tracking skills are really terrible," the girl said in a gentle tone, but the two people standing not far away already broke out in a cold sweat.
How did she deal with that guy just now?, they thought to themselves. You must know that the ability of 1v4 air manipulation is not weak at all, but even the sneak attack was seen through in an instant.
"Go!", one of the teenagers suddenly shouted, and then wanted to get out of this battlefield, after all, their purpose was only to capture the wreckage, not to send them to their death.
"It's a pity it's a little late......", just when the two desperate wanted to escape, Chen once again exerted the ability of spatial stagnation, and the two of them were knocked unconscious by Chen without resistance.
Looking at the three people who were piled up in the corner, Tatsumi thought for a moment, thought for a while, and then didn't know where to take out a small spray.
"Although the duration of action is only half a month...... But that should be enough......", the girl's voice vaguely penetrated the ears of the three of them, but they didn't remember it anymore.
(ps: ahaha...... Such a title should be fine, right...... It seems that this format has been 233 recently.,It's indeed a concise and clear title.233.
ps2: Why didn't anyone remind me that the chapter name was mistyped otz......)
