The tall commercial building blocks the sunlight from the right side of the alley, making this narrow road, which is only two or three meters wide, shrouded in shadow.
We blinked and stared at the tall commercial building at the same time, a feeling of unknown things pervaded, not fear: theoretically, there is nothing in this world that can scare us, but in the face of Completely abnormal, even weird unknown situations, tension is inevitable.
"Hey, Sandora, remember when we came in..."
I said something uncertain, and Sandora immediately took it up: "Ah, remember, this commercial building was on the left side of the alley at that time."
"This situation can't be explained by common sense," said the elder sister with an unpredictable smile on her face, and then took a few steps back.
It was originally the alley we entered at the end, but now my elder sister stepped back a little bit and left the alley entrance. She stood at that position and glanced inside, and then said to us with a spiritual connection: "On the left, that's right, on my left From here, the commercial building is on the left side of the alley."
My sister’s words made me finally convinced that I was involved in some kind of weird incident again—why did I say again? Could it be that now I am so tragic that I am not allowed to use Lin Xue's mobile troublesome aggregate to connect myself with various troublesome events
"Small-scale spatial kink?"
I uttered an obscure term that I only learned not long ago, and in my impression, it should be in line with the current phenomenon, but Little Bubble immediately gestured to me obediently, and the expression seemed to disagree with my guess.
"She said you were wrong, but the little girl's description is too abstract, probably only Xiling host can understand it," Sandora shook her head, "I'll contact Bubbles and ask her to come over."
"Don't worry yet," my lord sister walked back and forth at the entrance of the alley several times, as if she had discovered something, "It would be too embarrassing for a group of imperial leaders to get stuck in an unremarkable spiritual alley."
It's a pity that having said that, for this kind of weird and mysterious phenomenon, combat power is useless at all. Look at Pandora next to him, this guy has started to pull out micro-dimensional implosion bombs.
I said your method of solving mysterious events is too curious, girl
Well, anyway, finding a space-distorted ghost alley in a modern city in broad daylight is itself a novelty-hunting plot unfolding.
"I suspect there's something hallucinatory or something like that... space mirroring?"
After thinking about it for a while—this girl actually had time to think about it—she expressed her conjecture, but Little Bubble protested again, and the proposal was also rejected.
"Ah Jun," my elder sister, who has been wandering around the alley, standing sideways at the alley for a while to study, suddenly said to me with a spiritual connection, "stretch out your left hand"
I stretched out my left hand as I said, and my sister immediately showed such an expression.
"Ah Jun, that's right."
No way, I shouldn't have reached the level of indiscrimination, right
I looked at my outstretched hand in surprise. No matter how you look at it, it should be the left hand, right
But I knew that my sis would not joke around at such a time, so with a half-belief, I clenched my left fist as my sis instructed, and walked out of the alley quickly.
"Look, what you are clenching is your right hand~~"
My sister smiled triumphantly, as if proving a great theory, but I was even more confused—what's going on
"Can this alley interfere with our perception of left and right?"
Qianqian and Sandora also experimented a few times back and forth with a sense of novelty, and without exception, they found that their impressions about left and right in the alley were wrong. For this situation, I can only think of the alley. There is something in it that interferes with our perception.
"Impossible," Sandora shook her head immediately, "How strong is our mental power? If there is something in the alley that can interfere with our perception, I'm afraid that people in this entire city will become idiots because of the mental shock. .”
"Then..." Qianqian and I looked at each other, and at the same time asked for the truth from the learned scholar Sandora and the wise elder sister.
"It is very likely that the concepts of 'left' and 'right' are reversed in this space. Outside the alley, left and right are normal, but in the space inside the alley, left and right are just the opposite. If the two are separated , then no one will be able to detect the abnormality of the switching during this period, and a person who lives in the alley will always think that his left hand is his right hand." The elder sister always smiled peacefully, telling her conjectures, this time , Little Bubble didn't refute.
"It's like the asymmetric effect of the speed of light," Sandora quoted extensively. "If there is a space in front of you with a speed of light of 1 m/s, and there is a person moving forward at the speed of light, then in your opinion, that person is just moving forward. It’s just walking slowly, but for people on the other side of the space, his own speed is fast enough to look directly at the redshift and blueshift.”
Although this inference is quite difficult to understand, I still understand it roughly, but the question is, this low-magic, low-energy, ordinary marginal world we live in... Could there be such an interesting... Ahem, weird phenomenon
"Summoned Beast - Ding Dong"
Seeing that there was no one around, I immediately put one hand on my hips, and raised the other hand high like a lightning rod, and let out a low breath... Well, drink it low, if you make a loud voice, you will attract people.
"Ding Dong is here to answer Ah Jun's call"
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, the Lord God who can listen to any voice calling my name in the whole world at any time, and can appear anywhere in the world in an instant—Ding Dong, fell on my head without any accident, and raised her small hand high and proudly: "Leave everything to Ding Dong, Ding Dong is very powerful"
Behind me, Sandora and Elder Sister covered their faces with both hands at the same time, unable to bear to witness the interactive performance of two big and small idiots.
I grabbed the jingle in my hand, strode into the weird alley, and then held up the small thing like a detector to scan around.
"Huh? Ah Jun, what are you doing? Put Ding Dong down, Ding Dong is dizzy"
"Dizziness?" I showed a positive expression on my face, "Sure enough, there is something abnormal in this space."
The girls who came in after me were unsteady and almost fell to the street, my elder sister knocked on my head dumbfoundingly: "That's because Ding Dong was knocked out by you, okay?"
Yeah? I thought God was supposed to be used in this way, like the kind of dragon that is held in the hands of a dragon inspector to detect flammable gases, and makes a beeping noise when some unlucky kid should get a lunch It's like radar... By the way, did I just serialize
"Ding Dong is not a radar!" The little thing that was put down immediately protested angrily after hearing my theory, "And Ding Dong doesn't make a beeping sound, only Pandora makes a beeping sound in its stomach when it's boring. explain"
Pandora: "...drip"
Even if you are bored, you girl, don't make a beep at this moment... Ah Ding Dong, don't bite my ear to break the defense
Ding Dong is indeed the manager of this world. After we told her what we found, this little thing just sat cross-legged in the air thinking (thinking, see thinking, when did so many thinking guys appear in the Imperial Soy Sauce Group? ) in less than two or three seconds and came to a conclusion: this space may be covered by a piece of chaotic information from outside the world.
At this moment, I thought of the abnormality that appeared in the shadow city.
At first I thought it was Little Bubbles who stumbled upon something interesting while going out to play, so I wanted to show off, but I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. I should say that I am worthy of my daughter, so even this kind of troublesome Is the ability also like a retreat
Although it is just an alley with abnormal twists, which may even be overlooked by the unwary, it is a very important discovery for Ding Dong. Spectrum, this little thing attaches great importance to his work. The great turmoil in the world often starts with an inconspicuous little trouble, and these inconspicuous little troubles are often difficult to find when they first emerge. If it is not We found this upside-down alley by coincidence. I am afraid that the Temple of the World Tree will not receive an alarm until the entire city has a large-scale anomaly. At that time, Ding Dong will definitely be locked up...
In the afternoon of that day, we released a large number of information probes, and began to detect in all directions around this alley. Although the principle of this strange phenomenon is still unclear, what is certain is that the information integration ability of the Xiling host It can effectively discover the abnormalities that appear in the city. Hundreds of thousands of invisible information collectors are wandering in the city. Behind each of them is a powerful Xiling host to analyze the information returned by these probes at any time. Just now Bubble, who solved the anomaly of Shadow City, had to temporarily put down the game at hand and re-invest in a new round of work.
The next morning, the preliminary results of the information comparison were sent to us. As expected, similar anomalies not only appeared in that alley, but the entire city was almost full of abnormal information points. , backflow ditches, and elevator entrances that appeared out of thin air on the outer wall. Unknowingly, it seems that the whole city has mutated. Although most of these abnormal points are distributed in inaccessible corners, the weirdness of the situation is enough to cause people Pay attention to.
Ding Dong’s conclusion is still the same, the chaotic information from outside the world has polluted the world, and the scope of this pollution is very likely to spread to the whole world.
In other words, it may not be just the city we live in, but similar anomalies have appeared on the entire planet.
"We have at least one good news." When we were having headaches because of this weird phenomenon that even the apostles of Xiling and Ding Dong had never seen before, Sandora still had the time to recover from a series of headaches. Seeking to relax, "Now the shadow city can disarm the attack alert."
That being said, it is indeed good news.
Originally, we always thought that the abnormal situation in the shadow city was caused by the "enemy" attack, but now it seems that it was mostly implicated by the distorted outside world: in order to expand the space at low cost, the information used in the construction of the shadow city All are copied directly from the city and its surrounding areas in the real world, which caused some wrong information to be accidentally mixed in. Now that Bubbles has established a new filtering mechanism, similar wrong information will be filtered out directly.
In fact, for this bad effect, it’s okay not to filter it. The system of Shadow City is so perfect that it’s outrageous. No matter how much wrong information is mixed in, it will be compressed to an extremely low level by a series of automatic defense mechanisms, but how to say Well, too many supernatural events will affect the childhood of the Misaka sisters...
It didn't take long for our conjecture to be confirmed. Lin Xue, who habitually came over for lunch at noon the next day, took the initiative to mention some information recently collected by the organization before we asked her for help.
"I don't know much about it abroad, but there are many similar phenomena in China, such as supernatural events."
Lin Xue took the last two balls from my plate openly, while talking profusely.
"This kind of incident happens irregularly. Sometimes a large city may only have two or three such incidents a day, while a small unlucky town has more than two hundred anomalies in less than half a day, but there are still no ordinary ones. At first we thought it was because similar incidents would only happen in inaccessible areas, but after statistics, we found... even if such things happened in downtown areas, ordinary people would not be aware of it.”
Lin Xue's ambiguous words made me very surprised. Even if it happened in a downtown area, it wouldn't attract attention? Have you discovered a legendary city of natural dullness? A magical territory ruled by Sylvia
When I raised this question, Lin Xue gave me a sideways glance: "Don't talk while eating, this is the most basic table manners."
I:"… "
Do you still dare to mention table manners in front of me? You stepped on the stool just now to grab half of the eggplant from me, right
"These abnormalities won't be noticed by ordinary people." Lin Xue didn't let my doubts last for too long. This girl's ability to speak normally with her mouth full is amazing, "That is to say, If in front of an ordinary person, even if the sky suddenly disintegrates, he will not have any reaction, he will feel that everything is as it should be, and then when he returns to the normal area, he will see the abnormal scene he witnessed Turn your head and forget."
I thought of the alley where the left and right were reversed, and Sandora's asymmetric light speed scene.
In a twisted world, twisting is normal.
"Only us, special people with extremely strong mental power, can detect such changes. When ordinary people face changes, not only the laws of the world around them will change, but their own worldview will also be distorted, and even When they see the normal world around them, they will not realize what is happening in front of them. Even in the supernatural group, there are very few people who have the ability to detect abnormalities. Most of the low-level superhumans need to rely on a large number of Auxiliary means and teamwork can only vaguely detect changes in the environment, so our investigation is progressing very slowly."
No wonder there have been so many anomalies in the city, but there have never been any rumors about the city. If it is because it happened in an inaccessible place, it is unreasonable. With such a high frequency and such a long time, there is no one Ordinary eyewitnesses are so wrong, the only explanation is: ordinary people can't see those.
"Hey, Wood, you should have found something too, right?" Lin Xue saw that we were all thinking, and naturally guessed whether our group of empire leaders who were doing nothing all day encountered similar problems when they came out to make soy sauce. Situation, "According to the strength of your mental strength outside the specification, once you enter a similar abnormal area, you should be able to detect it on the spot."
Cut, do you think you are within the specification
We told Lin Xue everything we discovered. Anyway, this guy probably has many ways to know our experience, and there is no need to hide it.
"Well, sure enough, you can easily detect anomalies, but to analyze the root of those anomalies requires the ability of the Xiling host... It seems that the situation is worse than I expected before—and is it even related to the root of the world? "
As Lin Xue said, she suddenly clenched her fist with her right hand and lightly smashed her left hand.
"Okay, I'm sure it's an out-of-range and difficult mission, and the mission of saving the world is entrusted to you saviors."
Me: "...you don't run away either"
"Tch, the black-hearted boss is really the most annoying."
Is Miss Lin also learning how to be cute
"Now we have set up a temporary host link to analyze the source of these abnormal information at full power," Sandora interrupted the interaction between the cadre of the most unscrupulous ability group in history and the laziest head of state in history, "Ding Dong also It shouldn't take much time to find the source of the mutation by monitoring the information path flowing in the world through the Temple of the World Tree, but this time the situation is obviously a bit special. Against this kind of invisible and intangible world mutation, strong personal combat power may not be enough. How useful, I propose to put the function enhancement of the Xiling host on the agenda, at least we must have the ability to analyze abnormal information in real time, and now this method of checking after the abnormality appears is too passive."
I nodded. What Sandora said was not alarmist. What we encountered this time was indeed a trouble that could not be solved by combat power. It was like the alley that reversed left and right. It can really solve the problem of abnormal information there... Of course, it is estimated that we will not only solve supernatural events by then.
"Understood, that is to say, in the next few days, I'm going to risk my life to have a baby, right? And it needs to be of high quality." While sharing the dessert with his daughter, Pao Pao turned his head and said surprisingly.
I:"… "
Lin Xue: "...you bastard..."
Can't I have one or two normal girls around me? A
