Lost Narrative Poetry

The next morning.

Kamijou Touma stood in front of the gate of a large research institute, looking up at the majestic building, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The other party actually owns such a huge research institute, and the assets are of a scale that is simply unimaginable to him... What kind of nerves did he have last night to make himself fat and insist on taking the initiative to compensate for the maintenance and repairs of the street? What about the responsibility for the rebuilding effort?

The hedgehog-headed boy felt like a player who was sinking his ship with gold. He was so confident and arrogant before, but now he wants to go back in time and kill himself... Of course, he is just thinking about it. After all, with his In terms of his good-natured character, the situation at the time did not allow him to evade responsibility.

Especially if you happened to say something like that at that time, you can't just pretend you never said it in the blink of an eye, right?

It's just that his personality is like this, but his reality is indeed not optimistic. When he is alone, he often encounters all kinds of bad luck and is involved in various situations. He often has nothing to eat. Next meal.

Now I have to shoulder the responsibility of feeding a foodie nun...

Then, there are the compensation costs for the repair and reconstruction of several streets. Even if it is only a part, it is an unbearable burden on Kamijou Touma's life. This is not a problem that can be solved by eating instant noodles three meals a day in the future.

"At least it's not too bad..."

Looking down at his right hand, the spiky-headed boy smiled bitterly, feeling that this right hand that had always brought him so much misfortune and misfortune seemed to be of some use occasionally.

Although being studied about this kind of thing always made Kamijou Touma feel uncomfortable, but now there was no other way. Being able to pay off debts in this way is already a very good development - at least he felt that the other party could see his embarrassment and take care of his own self-esteem, so he proposed this method tactfully...

Hmm, yes, it must be like this.

The hedgehog-headed boy comforted himself, remembering the direct invitation that the man sent to him last night. This kind of honest and honest behavior of telling him that he was interested in the power of his right hand and wanted to explore it was quite disappointing. He was not so repulsive.

From this point of view, that person is actually a considerate and good person who is very good at taking care of other people's feelings!

I must have misunderstood him before!

After thinking about it like this, Kamijou Touma made this judgment and successfully selectively forgot all the unreliable scenes about Xia Ran he saw last night... It can only be said that people are all consequences. On biology.

"It should be this..."

Looking around, Kamijou Touma didn't notice anyone nearby. The nearby blocks were secluded and empty. It seemed that many large research institutes were located in this way. It was mainly for safety reasons. He would choose to be located in the city center if he lost his mind. Or places like commercial streets or residential areas.

They wouldn't dare to do this when researching explosives, not to mention that the research institutions in Academy City, no matter how big or small, usually study and study things that are much more dangerous than bombs.

The hedgehog-headed boy was a little confused. Is this research institute usually closed?

"By the way, where's the doorbell?"

He walked forward and studied it carefully next to the gate. He felt confused. After all, he had even gone to the bureau to take notes before, but he had never been to a place like the research institute.

Because he is also classified as incompetent, he is considered a "poor student" in this city and is not taken seriously in school. Naturally, no research institutions will be interested in him.

"The institute does not have a doorbell, and you need an access card to enter and exit. If you don't have one, you can only apply for a temporary access ID. It's the phone-like device on the side. Do you see it? Just get it. Scan your irises, record your fingerprints and voiceprints..."

A thoughtful and detailed explanation came from behind.

"Ah, that's it, thank you!" The hedgehog-headed boy breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back to look at the magician behind him and thanked him warmly.

"You're welcome." Xia Ran nodded lightly.

Kamijou Touma turned around and went back, quickly approaching the door of the research institute, preparing to carry out the operation according to the other party's instructions. After a few seconds, his movements suddenly paused, and he turned around again dumbfounded:

"No, since you are here, why don't you just open the door for me?"

"Well, this is also a way..." Xia Ran nodded approvingly, "But in fact, it is my first time to come to the institute today. I didn't care about things here at all, so I forgot to ask them. I need the key and password."

"Is this, like this?"

The Kamijou boy still couldn't laugh or cry, but he was even more determined in his mind. Sure enough, the other party just wanted to take care of him, so he proposed to study his right hand as a way to pay off the debt.

Before that, he didn't pay attention to what was going on in the institute at all. Doesn't this just illustrate the problem?

He is really a good man!

"Then we still have to ask the people inside to open the door now?" The hedgehog-headed boy hesitated, not sure whether he should continue the previous operation.

"There is no one inside now. I gave them all a day off yesterday..." Xia Ran smiled heartily at him and gave him a thumbs up, "The ability of your right hand is actually very valuable, but this kind of thing is not suitable for letting Tai Many people knew about it, so I gave them all a day off.”

This is the main reason.

Another thing is that Fantasy Killer's ability is not scientific at all. Those researchers don't have much hair to begin with, so don't embarrass them on this matter.

"Eh... But, we agreed, didn't we cooperate with the research?" Kamijou Touma hesitated, although he knew that this method was a compromise proposed by this person for his own sake. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to take it. With so much money, it would be difficult for the other party to directly help you.

But in this case, he still felt guilty.

Does this make any sense? It almost felt like I was being given a handout.

"Yes, isn't there still me?" The magician waved his hand indifferently, almost beating his chest and boasting, "Don't worry, I have decades of research experience in this area, from humans to non-humans. From the science side to the magic side, there is nothing I can’t handle. You can rest assured and leave it to me to arrange it..."

"Wait! Decades of research experience... How old are you this year?" Kamijou Touma suddenly felt uneasy. He subconsciously interrupted the magician's words and asked this question.

"I am seventeen years old this year... This is not the point. Don't interrupt! What's the point of worrying about these trivial issues?" Xia Ran replied casually, frowning at the same time.

"..."

"..."

No, no, no, this is definitely the key point, and I can’t help but care about it!

Kamijou boy looked at the research institute building in front of him with somewhat hollow eyes, and hesitated for a moment: "Well... since you don't have a key or a password, why don't we just forget about it today and start again tomorrow..."

"No need. If you want to get in, there are many ways. Don't you think the leader will be here now?" edge.

Almost at the same time, a red-haired girl with twin ponytails appeared in front of the entrance of the research institute, her little face tightened.

"This is..." The hedgehog touched his head and twitched the corner of his mouth. Why did he feel that this girl was more perverted than the magician yesterday.

"Oh, like you, she is also the one who made an appointment for today..." Xia Ranyan said concisely and concisely. She was about to say Jie Biao Danxi's name, but suddenly remembered that she hadn't formally asked the other party yet. If she said it directly If he comes out, will it appear that he has ulterior motives?

He turned to look at the red-haired girl with twin tails and asked sincerely: "By the way, what's your name?"

You’re just asking this now…

I thought you already knew it!

It was okay not to ask. After asking, Jie Biao Danxi felt inexplicably angry. She clenched her fists tightly and said her name impatiently.

"Kyuubi Tamaki..." Kamijou Touma nodded, looking at the girl with a subtle hint of intimacy. Although it was the first time they met today, the other person was also someone who was to be studied. This was enough for him to The label "companion" creates a sense of identity.

"Okay, please take us in. Lead the way."

At this time, Xia Ran said to the girl with a smile.

Regarding this meaningful title, Jie Biao Danxi glanced at him.

…

…

Half an hour later.

The look in Kamijou Touma's eyes when he looked at Yuubiao Adanki no longer contained that subtle sense of intimacy. There was only a sad, angry, heartbroken look, as if he was looking at a traitor. This made Yuubiao Adanki feel Somewhat inexplicable.

But of course Kamijou boy has reason to think so——

Why is it that the person who is considered a companion actually just made an appointment for a psychotherapy session, which was completed in less than ten minutes. The whole process was just a few mysterious conversations. Not to mention a tool, even No medications are needed.

But why...why do I have to face such a situation!

He looked around tremblingly.

At this moment, the boy with the spiky head was standing restlessly in a white laboratory, surrounded by a variety of instruments, from precision instruments that looked dazzling, to operating beds that looked like hospital beds. Same equipment.

There were also many things that looked very disharmonious, such as knives, hammers, or saws. He didn't know if he had admitted his mistake out of nervousness. Perhaps these instruments and equipment had other magical purposes and were not simply used as bloody elements. What happened?

"Come on, come on, don't stand there stupidly, come over here..." The magician, who had changed into a researcher's white coat, also had an extraordinary temperament, and waved to Kamijou Touma.

"Ah haha..." Hiding his uneasiness with an unnatural smile, the spiky-headed boy slowly walked over, "Why do I feel like I have become a guinea pig."

"Illusion, don't think about it... come here and lie down." Xia Ran explained to the mouse casually.

"Well, maybe I'm overthinking it..." The little white mouse was still a little uneasy. He couldn't help but look at the disharmonious utensils and asked, "By the way, can I ask what those things are used for?" Yes, why do they appear here?"

"As a research institute, isn't it reasonable for these tools to appear in the laboratory?" The magician said without thinking, "We often need to perform minor surgeries such as tumor removal. Isn't this strange?"

"This is obviously a laboratory, not an operating room..." Kamijou Touma felt that his legs and neck were a little weak, "And tumor removal is considered a minor surgery, and is it done often? Where else can there be so many tumors? …”

"It's everywhere. It's such a big one on your neck, isn't it?" Xia Ran showed a kind smile.

"..."

"..."

"Okay, okay, if you're serious, put it aside for now. What's the point of cutting your head off? I'm just interested in your right hand. If I really want to do it, I'll just cut it off. You can rest assured." Looking at the hedgehog's pale face, Wen Yan comforted him.

"How can I feel relieved..."

Kamijou Touma suddenly wondered if the reason why the other party didn't open the door before was to prevent him from escaping at this time.

"Let's check your right hand first..." Xia Ran picked up something similar to a scanner in science fiction works. After all, this is Academy City, whose overall technology is 20 to 30 years more advanced than the outside world. This is still the case. It is not unusual for a high-standard laboratory to have such a product.

He didn't think this thing was of any use. It could be more useful than his own eyes, but he had to take care of the Kamijou boy's mood.

Fantasy Killer, or Kamijou Touma, his existence may be very important to Xia Ran's next plan - just like the point of view of Demon God Monk Masaru, in Xia Ran's eyes, this world is too fragile, an illusory universe The appearance is a form created by overlapping layers of countless phases.

False and unreal, like a bubble in a dream, shattering at the touch of a finger.

Only Kamijou Touma is special. The so-called Fantasy Killer is undoubtedly a very thick and very solid pillar of the world, and he stays near the center of the world.

This is a very important point, so he took advantage of the situation yesterday when Kamijou boy said he was responsible subjectively, but objectively could not afford the huge compensation, and deceived him, and prepared to study him carefully "The power of kings".

The Crusaders were about to prepare for another expedition, and he had to do something to deal with it.

Even if the development is not as good as one's imagination, and it does not directly help one's plan to become a god, it can still be used as the strongest spear and the strongest shield——

Kamijou Touma's Fantasy Killer cannot dispel the overwhelming supernatural power, so in the face of Steele's fire magic and Index's Dragon King's complaints, this type of continuously generated supernatural power can only be sustained. offset, but cannot directly kill it completely.

But the mysterious thing is to move the earth with four ounces and find the right "fulcrum" to move the earth. Xia Ran felt that if he could find a way to use this right hand, then...

Deny everything that is against you, let it disappear into the cause and effect of the universe, and make even the demon god collapse with one blow...

This is totally doable.

"...The ability to invalidate other abilities..." Jiebiao Danxi stood on the side and watched quietly, with some curiosity in her eyes. It was not that she had never heard of this urban legend, but she only saw the legend today. Corresponding body.

"Someone is coming outside, go take a look." The magician, who was immersed in checking the arm of the hedgehog, suddenly said without looking back.

"..."

The red-haired twin-tailed man who was thinking about something suddenly tilted his mouth. This person really regarded himself as a staff member here.

She obviously hates this job that uses her ability to guide others, but why does she always feel that instead of getting rid of this situation, it has become a double job?

"Oops! Could it be Index..." Kamijou Touma's face suddenly became a little panicked, "She is actually very opposed to this matter, so I came here secretly without telling her... Could it be that she came here too? Already?"

"Really?" Xia Ran raised his eyebrows.

It is understandable why the little nun objected to this matter. Although the matter was successfully resolved yesterday, Kanzaki Kaori still told the little nun something in the end... So she knew that the magician was not the friend she met a year ago. Dix also began to be suspicious and wary of Xia Ran's motives.

Of course, this is normal. If she hadn't behaved like this, she wouldn't have been able to escape for such a long time under the pursuit of Kanzaki and the others... Two magicians, one of whom was a "saint", were stunned to chase her. It took a year to catch up.

"Who is Index?"

Jiebiao Danxi asked.

"Ask him..." Xia Ran pointed at the hedgehog-headed boy.

"This...this..." Kamijou Touma was stuck for a moment. How should he introduce Index to unsuspecting outsiders? What is her relationship with him now?

"Oh, I understand..." Jiebiao Danxi looked at his entangled expression, as if she understood something, and looked at him with a subtle gaze, "Are you a henpecker? Are you afraid of your wife? "

"It's...it's not...you...you..." Kamijou Touma almost couldn't breathe. What did you understand? This is not the case at all! Moreover, Index is only so old, and he is not a perverted lolicon!

"Don't say that, you don't understand..."

At this time, Xia Ran shook his head and said.

"There are no henpecked men, only wifeless men."
