"Tell me and I'll listen."
Impatiently, I urged again.
The surrounding air is still strangely silent. I can’t see any expression on Aleister’s face. In fact, I doubt whether the muscles on his face still have the ability to contract. I just sit like this On the Mazar, the fallen male Aleister and Aleister looked at each other for a long time, and the two of them formed an inverted image of each other in each other's pupils, and then the surrounding air resounded again. the sound of.
"...you are very interesting, was that your ability just now? A space system ability user? But as far as I know, you used a method of suppressing energy to stop the secondary explosion in the store during the shopping street explosion, and It is impossible for a person with dual abilities to exist in the tree diagram designer's calculation... "
Sure enough, this guy can be seen from the beginning, too, we haven't kept a low profile since the beginning.
"The treemap designer is just a primitive analog machine, its performance is unbearably low, and the thing doesn't even support Devil May Cry 4 - and there is no controller driver."
The designer of the tree diagram is of course quite primitive in my eyes. Any copy body Bubble under my hand can be smarter than that machine, and more importantly, due to the personal hobby of a housewife, each copy All Bubbles support 10800kbps abnormal high-definition output and full-model simulation, and they all come with handle drivers and cheat modules. When I am idle, I often invite a copy of Bubbles to come over as the host, and then Playing King of Fighters with Qian Qianwo in the living room...
Well, it really digressed.
The air was filled with silence again, and Aleister clearly needed more brain cells than usual to process what he heard. Of course, if I were a conspirator, I should now suspect that this guy is thinking about how to use the things in front of him. Guy kills.
"We don't seem to be talking about the same thing."
In the end, Aleister said the above words in a tone that seemed to give up, and he was finally sure that the stranger in front of him seemed not so easy to deal with, well, if your way of thinking is not curious enough.
I grinned and said, "We're discussing the same thing, but if you don't mention the main point, maybe I'll get lost somewhere. I'm easy to digress."
Aleister remained silent. Obviously, my reaction was not what he expected. It should be said that Aleister has not encountered unexpected things for a long time since the establishment of Academy City. It made the man in the tube feel a little confused, but soon, he put aside these unnecessary feelings and focused on his original purpose.
"Then, in order not to waste time, can you answer my question?" Aleister's voice echoed in the air, "Who are you, where are you from, why are you here? I really want to ask these questions Know."
"You can go to the library, where we have a full set of materials."
I didn't immediately answer the question about the law. I wanted to know how much this guy has mastered.
"If you're referring to the information stored in the database, they are indeed flawless things. You have even built a false family history for yourself. The level of detail can be traced back three hundred and twenty-seven years ago, but I You know, those are just false appearances."
"You guys, who are you?"
"We are outsiders," I gave an ambiguous answer, "Don't worry, you won't be able to find out our origins by any means."
"Outsiders..." Aleister repeated in a low voice, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in his tone, but it was hard for me to hear anything from that voice, which was more dull than Pandora's, "Then, as the owner of this place, I think I should at least have the right to know why you are here, can you answer this question?"
I shrugged: "I want to say that we are here for sightseeing, do you believe it?"
"The communication between us seems to be quite difficult... But I think I can think that you are not hostile, because various phenomena show that you don't seem to intend to shake the foundation of this city, then, now there is one last question of interest, the seventh There is a little girl named Saten Leiko in the school district. According to the records, she is a person with no abilities, and the chance of awakening superpowers is no more than 0.01%. However, three days ago, she suddenly obtained a level of up to LEVEL3 The ability, and it is a type of ability that has never appeared before. This girl has the ability to awaken after accepting the ability development of a research institution called 'Xiling Research Institute', and that research institute seems to be yours too. It's made up."
"Reniko Saten?" I thought for a while, then nodded, "That's indeed a little experiment we did while we were bored. Why, do you want this technology? Let's talk about it first, if you can, but I will never give it!"
"Is that so?" Aleister murmured in a low voice, and then sighed, "It seems that you have some kind of prejudice against me, and the communication from the very beginning was not smooth, so, I think our conversation can be fine. it's over."
"Oh," I nodded, and then put away the Maza, "Then I'm leaving—by the way, don't you ask that 'leader' to take me out?"
This time Aleister was silent for a longer time, and then the other party's neutral voice suddenly sounded in the surrounding air, well, this time it seemed to be a little crazy: "You really have nothing else to say? "
I showed a harmless smile: "You were the one who talked to me, I have nothing to say!"
Aleister: "...you can go."
I was about to turn my head, and then I suddenly stopped as if thinking of something: "Ah, yes, I have something to ask you."
This time the emotional fluctuations are more obvious: "Aren't you speechless!?!?"
I snorted: "Didn't I just remember this!?"
The flickering lights of the surrounding instruments were very turbulent for a while, and then finally gradually calmed down. Aleister's voice sounded weakly: "Then, you can speak."
"Well, I'm just a little curious, what exactly are you looking for me for today?"
In theory, it shouldn't be just to ask me a few innocuous questions and get a bunch of messy answers, right
"Originally, there were many things, but the most important thing was to see what kind of person could easily invade the Academy City and even rewrite the reality here, but now it seems that the communication between you and me is destined to fail smoothly, so Let’s just say hello—since uninvited guests don’t have the habit of saying hello to their hosts, at least as a host, they have to show their faces.”
I curled my lips: "I thought you were going to kill me."
"I don't deny that at first I came up with the idea that here, an unstable factor that I can't control is quite dangerous."
"Then why have you changed your mind now?"
I ask one question after another, let this old boy aggressively play quizzes for me from the beginning, meow, I will too!
Of course, Aleister would not know the simple way of thinking in the mind of the person in front of him who made him treat cautiously and bewildered. He thought for a while, and then felt that the answer to this question would be no problem, so he said: "Just It's because of curiosity. There are many things in you that I can't understand. Even if I can't use them, I won't rush to eliminate such existences until the foundation of this city is shaken. But I hope you can understand that at critical moments I don't mind sweeping away all uncontrollable factors, although I don't know what you rely on for your reckless attitude, but you haven't really seen the power of Academy City."
The power of Academy City? Can it resist a round of saturation bombing in outer space
Aleister's words sounded high-sounding, as if his real goal was to protect the city, but unfortunately, I knew everything about him, so naturally I wouldn't be moved by this false righteousness.
There was a wave of fluctuation in the surrounding space, and something was suddenly added to a certain coordinate, and then the little girl who was the "leader" appeared next to her. She looked at the Mazar in my hand with a strange look, and then rushed to Asia. Leicester nodded in greeting.
"Then I'll withdraw."
The green poured man in the test tube waved his hand away, and in the next second, the scene in front of him had turned into the blue sky and white clouds outside the building.
"It's still so comfortable. I really don't know how that specimen can endure the dark time."
I sighed, and then walked forward on my own.
What was he thinking about that specimen
Today's meeting is really inexplicable, and the conversation is also inexplicable. To be honest, I can hardly believe a word of what Aleister said. As we all know, in Academy City, one cannot be controlled, or even A force that knows its origin is never allowed to exist. Aleister said it nicely, but can he really let us uncontrollable factors play soy sauce in his life's efforts
Some things may happen in the near future, there is no doubt about it, for the man who can use everyone without hesitation and achieve his goals by any means, a force that suddenly appears on his own ground, if If you can't take it for your own use, then there will only be destruction.
But let him torment, anyway, Pandora and Viska have also started to complain about being bored recently...
Here I would like to remind everyone that it is not a good habit to think wildly while walking, especially when there is a stupid angel parasitic in the spiritual sea that can make your thinking fall into a subtle and dull state, it is easy to happen some things called "dangma phenomenon". "Things.
"boom!"
"Eh-"
Accompanied by such an exclamation, I felt that a soft body was... knocked out by me.
It is said that I should not be able to walk 30 miles, why did she fly out? Well, this may be because I didn't move at all, so all the force was borne by the other person alone. If I use the physics formula to calculate it - I digress.
After nonsense thoughts continued to flash through my mind uncontrollably due to inertia, I focused my attention and saw a woman with long silver-white hair rubbing her head, who might not be in her twenties Sitting up from the ground, looking at the other person's clothes, it seems to be a waiter in a store
In other words, how did this bloody plot happen because of walking in a daze and bumping into a beautiful woman and having a ginseng encounter
"Sorry sorry."
While apologizing, I hurried forward and reached out to help the other person up. It seemed that the guess that the force was borne by one person just now was correct. The woman in front of me wobbled for a few seconds before finally standing still. I guess it was Mild concussion…
"That... are you okay?"
I asked cautiously, although it was just such a small thing that I bumped into while walking, but looking at the mosquito coils that were still circling in the other person's eyes, I couldn't help wondering if I really passed 30 miles just now.
"Ah, it's okay—"
The silver-haired woman spoke slowly, really slowly, with a long and unhurried sound in each word, but it gave people a weird feeling of normality, as if this kind of words were slower than normal people. The half-beat way of speaking is very normal for this woman.
"Uh, but you have a big bump on your forehead..." I reminded kindly, looking at the other person's appearance, I'm afraid she is a type whose reaction is not much faster than Alaya's. It's purely natural to starve to death.
"It's okay—" the silver-haired woman still said slowly, "My recovery ability is very strong—"
If I continue to communicate like this, I feel that my mind will slow down, although it has not been faster than a few times.
"Ah—that's right—" Even when he exclaimed suddenly remembering something, the other party still had that slow tone, and then took out a small piece of paper from the pocket of the waiter's uniform and handed it over, "If you have time If so—welcome to Xiaoxi Jewelry Store—then, goodbye—”
With such a slow feeling, the silver-haired woman bowed to me, then turned around, and disappeared at the corner of the street not far away in ten minutes. In other words, I was knocked into the air by such a slow speed. Could it be that I really Up to 30 miles
There are so many weirdos in Academy City, this is my final thought.
Is it Xiaoxi Jewelry Store
I lowered my head and looked at the white card that the other party handed me. The card was exquisitely made, decorated with beautiful patterns, and the name of Xiaoxi Jewelry Store was written in three bold italic Chinese characters, and then... gone.
I raised my head and looked into the distance with tears in my eyes.
You at least remember to write down the address and contact number of your own store, idiot! ! !
Can this kind of guy who is more Alaya than Alaya, and little Bubble than Little Bubble, really survive in this cruel society until now? Is the boss of that shop full of Wang Zhi and fermented bean curd? !
Or, the waitress with long silver hair is actually just a mascot for viewing in the store? Only this explanation can work!
Tossing my hair, I put aside my mascot associations and walked on.
Then, a slightly familiar energy fluctuation suddenly came from not far away, making me stop.
"Why are there so many things today?"
I muttered something in a low voice, but I couldn't ignore the energy that should never have appeared in Academy City, and walked towards a street that was rarely visited by people.
If I remember correctly, it should be the power of magic, but it doesn't seem to be the fluctuation of any magic formula, but just a meaningless release of magic power. The only purpose seems to be to attract the attention of others, but no one can recognize magic in this place. If such a "bait" is released in a fluctuating place, will the people on the magic side have to do something in Academy City again
With such confused thoughts, I walked through several streets in a row until I entered an inaccessible area. This place should be a construction site that was shut down for some reason. Although it has the most efficient and perfect coordination mechanism, it still exists in Academy City The phenomenon of unfinished buildings, the few high-rise buildings in front of me are just the beginnings of the structure, the scattered reinforced concrete on the ground is also in a mess, all the machinery and equipment have been removed, and now this is an empty and forgotten area.
There are obvious fluctuations in magic power, and there seem to be runes engraved to disperse idlers around, obviously to prevent the meeting from being disturbed by guys like Kamijou who came out to make soy sauce, and there are some knots that I have seen for the first time The existence of world-like things has interfered with the flow of information in a large area, but since I am not an expert in this field, I still don't know their function. Presumably they are also used for concealment, right
"Come out, it's boring to hide like this."
As the voice fell, footsteps sounded from the shadow of a building. Just as I guessed, it was me who the other party wanted to attract.
Of course, I will not admit that I only thought of this after scanning the energy fluctuations in the entire Academy City and found that there is no second source of magic power other than here.
"Old Yan... ahem, Stiyl?"
When I saw the tall figure that appeared first, although I expected it, I still yelled out in surprise, the familiar exaggerated height, red hair, retail price on the face... cough cough, barcode, and never go out Isn't this the old smoker Steele
And there was another person who came out behind Stiyl.
It was a beautiful girl in a conservative pink long dress with golden long~~hair. The reason why the long~~hair is emphasized is because... I have never seen anyone whose hair can be pulled up and then dragged to the ankle.
The first time I saw the other party, a name was already ready to be pronounced.
Laura Stuart, another transliteration is Laura Stewart, by the way, I have several versions here... Uh, I guess you don't want to hear it, anyway, it's the fox girl, from the Church of Necessary Evil The largest bishop, the most powerful person in the Puritan Church of England, a mechanical idiot who can sit on an equal footing with the Queen of England, and who accidentally pulls the line and videos of the man hanging upside down takes half an hour and finally forgets to turn on the camera.
Look at our ability to generalize!
"Yo, we meet again, Stiyl."
I waved to the red-haired priest walking over from a distance, and I wasn't too surprised that they came looking for me. V
