Magic world

More than 20 minutes later, Ito Shige and the four of them finally finished enjoying the lunch, which alone was equivalent to the average person's food expenses for nearly a month.

"You guys keep playing, I'm going to find the sister who was attacked." Standing outside the fast food restaurant, Yoshikawa Kikyo, Index and Last Work said to Ito.

"Acheng, I'll go with you too." Index looked at Itocheng seriously and said.

"Don't worry, the matter this time is not as complicated as you think. It's just that someone wants to attack the sisters. I can just go by myself. If you go too, things will probably become different immediately." Ito Cheng, who knew that Index was worried about whether this incident might be caused by people from the magical world again, looked at her and tried to persuade her softly.

"Then be careful." Index, who was usually very obsessive but would never cause trouble in serious matters, warned.

"Yes." Ito Cheng responded with a smile.

Then he nodded to Yoshikawa Kikyo, turned around and walked away from the three Indexes, and soon disappeared into the pedestrian-filled streets.

Ito Cheng's investigation method is very simple. First, he rushes to the location where No. 10032 disappeared according to the information obtained from the final work. Then he takes out his mobile phone to enable the browsing rights of the lag loop, mobilizes the surveillance images of this area, and traces the whereabouts of 10032. .

Ito Cheng, who had such a powerful weapon as the air-suspension circuit, quickly found the image information he wanted.

On the picture displayed on the phone screen, he was wearing the sports uniform of Tokiwadai Girls' School. Miss Misaka, who was wearing a white helmet with the remains of a burst balloon still on the top, fell to the ground limply. Looking at the situation displayed on the screen, Miss Misaka was just like an ordinary person suddenly suffering from a severe cold or heatstroke. Her breathing was rapid, her cheeks were red, and her consciousness was wandering between existence and disappearance.

Next to the scene on the screen, two people, a man and a woman, appeared next to Misaka sister who fell limply on the ground. One of them is the Queen of Tokiwadai, the psychologically controlled Shokuhou Misaki, whom Ito Cheng met before and skillfully fought against in the dark. The other one was between 1.75 and 1.8 meters tall, wearing a dark blue suit with a lot of golden threads, and a gloomy face. He has a big golden head, except for the two or three strands hanging down naturally on both sides of his forehead. He was a man who looked to be around twenty-seven or eight years old, with his head neatly tied back.

"This guy, I remember, was once one of the people in charge of the Absolute Abilities Project. Yes, it was the office where the panicked Asao Amai broke into after Misaka Mikoto destroyed eighteen research institutes in the original book. The man sitting in the middle." Ito Cheng looked at the man squatting next to Misaka's sister to check the situation. Frowning he recalled.

in the screen. After the man said a few words to Shokuhou Misaki, he leaned over and picked up Misaka, who had completely passed out, at Shokuhou Misaki's instructions. Then he stood up and left the place with Shokuhou Misaki. . He walked to the street not far from where Ito Cheng was currently, opened a box car parked on the roadside, and put Misaka sister in.

Then, Shokuhou Misaki and the man got into the car and the cab respectively, started the car, and drove away.

After tracking for a period of time using the air loop system, the car carrying Misaka's sister No. 10032 finally stopped at a huge building called "Taitoubo" located in the second school district.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng exited the login state of the air loop, closed his mobile phone, and rushed to the second school district next to the seventh school district, preparing to break into the "Talent Labor Room" to rescue Misaka's sister No. 10032.

By riding a driverless bus and running at high speed with the power of telekinesis, Ito Cheng finally arrived outside the "Talent Workshop" building in the second school district after more than 20 minutes.

Ito Nari, who had no intention of going through the main entrance, showed his strength, flew into the air with his body, and invaded the interior of the "Talent Workshop" building through a half-open window. Then, without even stepping on the ground, he just floated in the air about five centimeters above the ground, heading in a direction he chose at random.

Perhaps because there are a large number of staff present during the day, except for the basic warning facilities inside the "Taishangfang" building, which are still on, most of the other warning facilities are closed and are patrolled by security personnel in the building from time to time. to replace.

It's just that it's too time-consuming to search for Misaka's sister layer by layer, room by room, so Ito Cheng seizes an opportunity and knocks out a lone researcher, using the secret technique of the Yamanaka family - Mind-reading technology reads the other party's memory.

"No, someone actually invaded there!" At the same time, in another place, Shokuhou Misaki, who was leisurely staying with the blond man and talking about something, his expression changed and he said urgently.

"Drive quickly and take me to the talent studio!" Shokuhou Misaki ordered the man in front of her.

The man didn't resist. He nodded and quickly rushed Shokuhou Misaki to the underground parking lot. He got into the car and started the engine. Amidst the "squeaking" sound of the tires rubbing against the ground, he drove out of the parking lot at high speed. Driving away, hurried towards the Talent Workshop in the Second School District.

"Not really." In Sai's room, Ito Cheng frowned and said to himself after finishing reading the memory. He immediately hid the researcher, floated out of the corner again, and wandered around the "Talent Man's Room" to search.

Only this time, Ito Cheng clearly noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. Not only the patrolling security personnel were all armed with weapons, but even the scientific researchers were like movable eyeliners, looking around for something. And what concerned Ito Cheng the most was that whether they were security personnel or scientific researchers, everyone's expressions were a little stiff and dull, and their pupils had weird star-shaped patterns.

"Have they been controlled by Shokuhou Misaki... What a great feat, he actually rewrote the memories of all the staff in the talent building and turned them into his subordinates. In other words, this is Shokuhou Misaki's private residence. Is it a secret base?" said Ito Narishin, who was observing the staff's movements.

"But this also explains why the researchers couldn't find the image memory about Misaka sister or even Shokuhou Misaki herself from the mind of Shokuhou Misaki. With Shokuhou Misaki herself taking action to delete the memory, if I can still If you find it, you can probably achieve level 6 in Academy City."

Then Ito Cheng gathered his thoughts and used special steps to hide himself in the visual blind spots of the staff, creating a physical illusion of invisibility, and began to search the whole building using clumsy methods.

"Talented Workshop" is a well-known research institution in Academy City. Its original purpose is to provide targeted training for certain students in Academy City and train them to become Prime Minister, Prime Minister, Minister, Top scientists, teachers, art masters and other top talents in various industries, but this thing changed after researchers came into contact with Shokuhou's praying ability. They believe that instead of spending energy and time cultivating future directional talents, it is better to study how other people can have the psychological control ability of Shokuhou Misaki, and then have those who have mastered this ability to use the ability on designated people. , quickly acquire the top talents needed in various industries, and achieve the goal of truly having talents from all over the world leave the studio.

Although in the process of studying Shokuhou Misaki's ability, they developed a brain wave defense helmet that can block brain wave spillover and prevent mental manipulation to resist Shokuhou Misaki's control, but they underestimated the ability to control people's hearts. Shokuhou prayed. While testing Shokuhou Misaki, she deliberately let the low-level scientific researchers she controlled act as undercover puppets, secretly destroying part of the functions of the brainwave defense helmet, allowing Shokuhou Misaki to silently destroy them. Take control.

So in the end, the famous "Talented Workshop" institution was completely controlled by Shokuhou Misaki, and through clever operations, it entered a semi-standstill state.

"Isn't it on the lower floor, but on the top floor of the building?" Ito Cheng, who had entered the underground part according to the top-down search method but still couldn't find Misaka Sister No. 10032, frowned and thought to himself.

"Ding!" With a soft sound, the closed elevator door slowly opened to both sides, and then Ito came into an extremely empty room with only two thick tubular columns emitting green fluorescent light. In Cheng's eyes.

"What a damn exaggeration." Ito couldn't help but sigh as he stepped out of the elevator and cast his eyes on the two thick tubular columns.

Inside the two thick tubular cylinders, a pair of left and right halves that were split in medium proportions and looked like specimens of giant brains were mounted inside the two cylinders filled with green liquid. , connected by dozens of slender pipes of varying thicknesses, suspended in the middle of the tube body.

"It's disgusting." At this moment, a somewhat frivolous voice suddenly sounded in Ito Cheng's ears. Then Shokuhou Misaki, whose appearance had hardly changed, walked out of the shadow behind the tube body and looked at Ito Cheng who was standing there with a chuckle.

"It's too disgusting to say, it just feels too exaggerated." Ito Cheng, who cast his eyes on Shokuhou Misaki, shook his head slightly and said.

"Want to know their origins?" Shokuhou Misaki, who was standing three meters away from Ito, turned to look at the giant brain in the tube and said. Then, without waiting for Ito Cheng's answer, he explained to himself, "It's called the product of the [Eior] project. It was a product that was directionally cultivated and amplified by the severed cerebral cortex of my brain. It has the same brain waves as me." The frequency can greatly increase my ability."

Having said this, Shokuhou Misaki turned to look at Ito Cheng again, with a meaningful smile on his face. (To be continued...)
