Lost Narrative Poetry

Not long after, the shopping street returned to normal.

The previous chaos and commotion was calmed down, and the turbulent crowds also dispersed.

I don't know if they were too nervous or if they were used to this kind of thing. They didn't seem to feel anything was wrong. They didn't even have the idea of ​​staying to learn the details. After regaining their subjective initiative, they quickly adjusted. Good condition.

Those who go to appointments, those who take tutoring, those who go to work, those who go to work...

After some people reacted, they were shocked to realize that they were going to be late. They had to rush over so quickly that when the security officers who came to deal with the problem were registering the list and taking notes, they were not able to take care of it. He left in a hurry.

Perhaps this is the common psychological quality of people in Academy City.

After all, they live in a city with millions of people with abilities, and many of them are even members of the group of people with abilities, but they are just at a lower level... so they have such psychological qualities and habits It is natural and understandable.

Just like New York and Manhattan in movies, Tokyo in animations, etc., as a city destined to be troubled, it cannot escape these problems no matter what.

Maybe there was a battle between superheroes just yesterday, but today a King Kong climbed onto the Empire State Building and masturbated... Living in such a dire straits, if you don't have a strong psychological quality, how can you do this? !

The same goes for the residents of Academy City. In this city, anything can happen. In an ordinary bank robbery, the suspect may not be holding a weapon, but directly rubbing fireballs to commit the crime. of.

Things like people with superpowers causing trouble happen all the time in this city. It's not unusual at all. They should have been used to it by now.

The guards were accustomed to this, so they didn't say anything. After all, they still had a lot of headaches to worry about. Recently, there had been a lot of crimes committed by ability users, which made them very anxious and overwhelmed.

The current case is even more troublesome.

After all, hundreds of people were affected at one time, and the entire shopping street was directly controlled. Although they did not suffer any more direct and substantial harm, they could not change the bad nature of this incident, so they must take it seriously. .

What's more, this time, it seems to be involved in a diplomatic incident...

"Sir! Sir! How are you? Can you still speak? Look at this?"

The sexy beauty with long black hair tied behind her head and amazing breasts squatted on the ground. She looked at the red-haired delinquent priest with some worry, stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of his eyes.

"..."

"..."

There was no answer. Steele's eyes were dull and completely unresponsive.

It's not that the injury was serious. In fact, although he had not exercised much physically, growing to a height of two meters when he was just fourteen years old was purely a matter of talent. However, he was stronger than the average adult. 's physique.

In addition, Xia Ran's punches and kicks just now looked extremely fierce, but in fact he did not exert any strength at all. He could neither sink Lu Zhou nor cut the planet apart. It was completely restricted to what ordinary humans should do. That kind of speed and power.

So, in fact, Steele did not suffer any harm...

Of course, if there was no physical harm, it might not be so psychologically. The red-haired delinquent priest was still in a messy state in the wind. He was completely stunned and had not recovered from the blow just now.

Who are you?

Where are you?

What are you doing?

Why was he beaten for no apparent reason? Are you really arrogant? Is this city so unfriendly?

All kinds of question marks appeared in his mind one by one. Steele felt that he was not well. He had no response to the beautiful guard's questioning. He was not pretending to be stupid deliberately, but was acting inexplicably. After being beaten so hard, I really became a little autistic.

After all, being beaten up in front of so many people... As a fourteen-year-old minor male, Steele also has his own self-esteem. Now his mentality is exploding, and he subconsciously wants to Escape from reality.

"...No response? There is some trouble..."

Yomikawa Aiho frowned delicately, retracted her slender fingers, and looked at the embarrassed appearance of the tall red-haired priest on the ground. At least on the surface, this tall and strong foreign man was indeed covered in bruises. look.

One can imagine how heinous the passionate beating that just happened in public was.

So much so that the two disciplinary committee members present were unable to prevent this atrocity from happening...

However, considering that the entire shopping street just now, it can be said that except for the cleaning robot, all pedestrians, customers and even shopkeepers, more than three digits of people have been influenced and manipulated from a spiritual level, so the two discipline committee members have not been able to Playing its due role is actually quite normal.

Moreover, there was a LV4 superpower user and a LV5 superpower user...

So, it was indeed a spiritual ability user at the LV5 level who planned this attack? Only people with this type of superpower have the power to control all of this...

"Send him to the hospital first and let the doctor check him out."

Yomikawa Aiho turned to look at a member of the security team who came up and asked.

"Speaking of which, have you found out the identity of this person?"

"I checked, there is indeed a pass..." The guard hesitated for a moment, looking at the red-haired bad priest on the ground, his eyes became a little subtle, "Steele Magnus, from England. , this year is fourteen years old, and the temporary ID is..."

"Wait, what did you say? How old...is he this year?"

Aiho Yomikawa felt that she had heard some extraordinary information. She interrupted the team members' report in shock and asked as if to confirm.

"...Fourteen years old." The security guard was also a little unsure. He glanced down at the information in his hand, and then continued, "Well, that's indeed what the information says." He put aside all responsibility. You have to be clean and don't intend to admit that this is a low-level mistake caused by your own ability.

"..."

"..."

Yomikawa Aiho was shocked. What kind of joke was this?

She looked back at the red-haired delinquent priest who was being carried away on a stretcher. He was over two meters tall, with long dyed red hair. His hands were covered with various rings, and his ears were covered with various heavy earrings. The whole body exudes the smell of strong perfume and nicotine...

Such a man can be regarded as extremely strong among normal adults. It seems that he can kill at least a goose or two otakus with one punch...

Now he actually told her that this was actually a fourteen-year-old minor?

This joke is not funny at all. Hey, is this because he eats Jin Ke La as food, so he has developed so far ahead of his time? !

Twitching the corner of her mouth, Aiho Yomikawa originally wanted to say something, but inexplicably she remembered a certain teacher——

The true form of Academy City's immortal urban legend, Teacher Tsukiei Komoe, is obviously an older woman than Aiho Yomikawa, over thirty years old. She drinks and smokes, but the result is that she looks bad. Look, he is just a primary school student about twelve years old.

Legend has it that one of the seven incredible events in Academy City is that "the Imaginary School District has successfully developed the technology of immortality, and the experimental product is Teacher Xiaomeng."

Most of her students, unknowingly, reacted to seeing her for the first time by definitely wanting to be high.

Not to mention that he is also a physical education teacher in the same school, Aiho Yomikawa and Xiaomeng Yueyong are good friends, so naturally they are no strangers to this matter, so it is natural to think of her at this time. The look on her face It suddenly became extremely exciting.

Well, there are many strange things in the world. There are women who are already thirty years old, but they still look like a loli girl.

So now a delinquent priest who is just fourteen years old, but already two meters tall, and has a sturdy back and waist, is... a very reasonable thing?

Taking a long breath, she persuaded herself and gritted her teeth and asked: "Can you contact this... this Mr. Steele?"

"Okay, according to the registration records, there was another person who came in with him. We can try to contact him..."

The security guard lowered his head and took a look, then nodded and said, there is still a way to do this. The information shows that this young and mature Mr. Steele did not come to the academy alone. Urban.

So just contact the relatives and friends who are traveling with him.

"Very well, about the previous criminals..."

"We have already dispatched the nearby surveillance equipment to record the recent video. The results should be available soon..." The security guard did not wait for the captain to finish speaking, and immediately reported the actions of himself and others. This kind of thing does not need to be done. Waiting for orders.

"That's good……"

Yomikawa Aiho nodded and was about to continue saying something. Then out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a team member quickly running towards him in a nervous and panic manner.

"Senior Huang Quan Chuan! Senior Huang Quan Chuan!"

"If anything happens, just tell her slowly, don't be in a hurry...what happened?" Yomikawa Aiho comforted her. Although she had a vague premonition in her heart, as a captain, she still had to be steady.

"The monitoring and surveillance records have been deleted!"

The security guard said in a panic: "Just now, when we and the shop owners went to search for records, we were talking fine, but in the blink of an eye, they deleted all the surveillance records and even smashed the hard drive. …”

"Is that so?" She rubbed her brows with a headache. Aiho Yomikawa didn't seem surprised. "It seems that after the large-scale mental control of the guy who committed the crime ended, did he leave an instruction? He is a very cautious guy. …”

"Senior Huangquanchuan, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry, there won't be any surveillance records. It's not that easy to track down superpower crimes..." Aiho Yomikawa thought, "Besides, this is indirect proof that this should be a premeditated attack. It's not what their confessions said..."

"Didn't you say that that person didn't like him, so he was looking for trouble?" The new and inexperienced security guard asked ignorantly.

"If even harsh words can be used as evidence, then our work will be much easier. Don't believe everything you hear. Think about it, will a person with this level of ability behave like a street gangster?" Huang Quan Kawa Aiho shook her head in disbelief.

She continued: "We will start with Mr. Steele and his friends, and we should be able to find some clues."

"Then... where's the "psychological control" side? "

"Although I think it's unlikely that it's her, I still want to confirm it." Yomikawa Aiho said with a headache, "However, other mental ability users who have reached LV4 must be confirmed. They are also suspected. of."

…

…

The other side.

In the cafe where Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko met Haruo Kiyama before.

Kiyama Chunsheng probably had a natural fit or some other reason. After the other two suddenly ran away, he went back first, so he was not present now. However, due to the addition of Uiharu Shiori and Saten Ruiko, the number of people increased instead of decreasing.

"Damn it! He actually ran away like this..."

Misaka Mikoto took a sip of her drink, still angry about what had just happened. She had never experienced such a frustrating experience before, and she had no gaming experience at all.

Someone performed atrocities in front of her. This was already very arrogant. But the most disgusting thing was that she couldn't even see the face of that person and let him run away. This is what makes Misaka Mikoto the most angry. Someone provoked her face to face, but she punched the cotton.

"Sister-sama, don't be angry..." Kuroko Shirai, who was beside her, comforted her diligently, "Kuroko, I wasn't actually hurt, so don't be too angry..."

She didn't want her sister to get so angry because of this. In fact, she wasn't hurt at all just now.

"I'm not angry because of this!" Misaka Mikoto blurted out without thinking, and said angrily.

Heizi froze immediately, his attentive expression frozen directly on his face.

I'm the clown myself?

"But we really need to pay attention to this matter. There is only one LV5 spiritual ability user in this city, and you know who it is... But the phenomenon just now has definitely reached the LV5 level. From this point of view, The legend of the Imaginary Hand may very well be true.”

Misaka Mikoto ignored Kuroko. Perverts are not so easily struck. She just looked at the two friends opposite and said seriously.

"But I can't find any clues, and the information on the Internet is very limited..." Uiharu Shiri said absentmindedly, her tone also weak. It seemed that the scene just now had a great impact on this weak girl.

Next to her, Saten Ruiko was also in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, looking very confused.

"This..." Misaka Mikoto also felt weak.

They have been pursuing clues about the Fantasy Controller for some time, but they have encountered setbacks repeatedly. Until now, they still can't figure out what it is, an injection? Some kind of pill? An audio clip? Or is it something else?

Looking out the window in annoyance, the brown-haired girl discovered that today was the first day of summer vacation, and there were couples everywhere outside, just like last night...

Wait, last night?

"Uiharu, Ruizi, what did you say about the attacker before? Can you say it again?" The clues in his mind seemed to be vaguely connected. Misaka Mikoto turned to look at the two friends opposite and asked seriously .

Uiharu Shili and Saten Ruiko looked at each other, then tried hard to recall, and carefully explained all the details and characteristics that they could remember.

Then, Saten Ruiko's eyes sparkled: "Did Misaka-senpai discover something?"

"Well, I seem to have seen this person last night..." Probably remembering the speechless scene at that time, Misaka Mikoto's tone was a little subtle. She looked out the window again and found that this area was indeed close to Kamijou Touma's guidance at that time. location.

"But I'm not completely sure yet. I need to confirm..."

Standing up quickly, Misaka Mikoto said seriously.

…

…

At the same time, on a certain street.

In front of Xia Ran, a beautiful girl with twin ponytails appeared quietly.

Her red hair was tied into two bunches behind her head, and her winter uniform was draped over her shoulders. Her upper body was exposed, except for a pale pink strip of cloth on her chest that was wrapped like a bandage. Her lower body was in a highly exposed miniskirt, with a hoodie hanging around her waist. From the decorative belt, the outfit looks like it's deliberately intended to trigger a crime.

She looked at the magician in front of her without saying a word, and then handed over the thing in her hand.

Various identity certificates and bank cards were indeed delivered to Xia Ran as quickly as possible, marking the consensus between him and the Hanged Man to use each other to scheme against each other.

It's hard to say that they are comrades on the same front. It can only be said that both sides are plotting against each other. As for who can take advantage and make the other party suffer, it all depends on who has better cards. .

The magician took it with interest, flipped through a few pages at random, and then showed a strange smile.

He thought that the Hanged Man had arranged something directly, but now it seems that he still had to fill in some things himself... Want to get more information? But this method of directly asking the target to fill in some information is really simple and crude.

"When you finish filling it out, I'll take it back..."

The beautiful girl with twin tails said coldly, as if she was reluctant to speak, and if possible, just wanted to complete the task without saying a word.

"No need to rush..." The magician glanced at her and said calmly, then raised his hand, "Index, why are you here?"

Jie Biao Danxi was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that this person was greeting the person behind her.

She turned around and saw a girl with waist-length silver hair, green eyes and snow-white skin, about fourteen or fifteen years old, walking by the intersection over there. She seemed to be listening to something. When he was greeted, he turned his eyes and looked over in astonishment.

"You...how do you know my name?"

Index was a little confused and wary. She took a step back and looked at the magician walking in front of her.

"Didn't you tell me?" Xia Ran looked confused, "Don't you remember? More than a year ago, in this city, I took you to visit for a long time. You won't forget So soon..."

"I……"

Index was stunned for a moment, is that so? Have you been to this city before?

She really couldn't remember. She had no memory of a year ago... So, could this person be some friend she had known before?

On the side, Jie Biao Danxi looked at this person in disbelief.

Although she didn't know much about it, at least judging from her mission, it was the first time for this person to come to Academy City. He didn't even have an identity. How did it happen more than a year ago?

How was he able to speak out? Such a little girl can cheat without any psychological burden. Isn't this too scumbag?
