Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

Kamijou Touma's eyes became sharper.

Jiang Ming had already stepped forward a few times, and wrapped the rope around the chest of the unconscious man lying on the bed a few times, then walked over the elbows, put the two arms together behind his back, tied them tightly, and formed a behind-the-back hands Namaste pose.Thanks to the flexibility of this man's body, he was able to make such a pose smoothly.

Then, put the two legs together, wrap the red rope three times from top to bottom, wrap it tightly around the joints, and tie knots at the thighs and calves respectively.

Finally, tie the four corners of the rope to the four corners of the bed and pull it tight.

And just like that, the unconscious man was tied to death on the bed.

[Low-level Magic Treasure Strengthening Rope]

It can be regarded as a very practical kind of magic weapon owned by Jiang Ming. He is confident that with his own binding skills, even if a man wakes up, he will never be able to break free from the rope of this magic weapon level.

"In this posture, I always feel that he will want to kill us when he wakes up."

Kamijou Touma couldn't bear to look directly at him anymore.

"He wanted to kill you before, so it's right to let him suffer."

Jiang Ming said angrily.

Kamijou Touma has a good temper and does not hold grudges. It is Kamijou Touma's business, but he, Jiang Ming, is very vengeful. When he sees this kind of guy who wants to kill at the slightest disagreement, he can't help but teach him a lesson.

But speaking of...

Jiang Ming looked at Kamijou Touma beside him with a complicated expression.

"I just remembered that your expression seemed very interesting just now."

"Kamijou, don't you know it well?"

Jiang Ming's words were slightly teased.

"Cough! Cough cough, what are you talking about?"

Realizing that he had accidentally exposed something just now, the young man's face immediately turned a little rosy, and he waved his hands anxiously in denial.

The reaction was really cute, and it felt like an innocent boy.

Well, no, maybe it's not a "teenager" anymore.

Jiang Ming thought of the silver-haired girl named Index who lived on the third floor and Kamijou Touma, whom he had met twice recently.

If I remember correctly, I saw that girl walking out of the balcony in the morning, holding Kamijou Touma and yelling for breakfast. At that time, her clothes were not a little disheveled.

If you think about it this way, Kamijou could recognize what he took out just now, that is to say, has he actually tried it?

"Kamijou, you live with that, Miss Index, right?"

After closing the door and letting the unconscious man stay inside, Jiang Ming walked out while looking at the boy beside him with an interested expression.

"Ah, this, yes, that's right, why ask this?"

Kamijou Touma looked aside.

"So, what stage has it developed? Kissed? Or slept?"

Jiang Ming suddenly became interested in gossip.

"Uh, why do you ask such a thing?"

Kamijou Touma covered up even more fiercely.

"Sure enough, she's already asleep. Well, in this case, it's already a de facto marriage."

Jiang Ming, who understood everything, sighed a little melancholy.

"So I didn't say anything at all, why did you understand it all at once!"

The teenager was a little crazy.

"Ha, of course you don't understand this kind of thing. You must know that a virgin is as conspicuous as Ultraman Taro standing in a large group of hens. This kind of thing is easy to identify."

Jiang Ming showed a confident smile.

"No, no, no, this has nothing to do with Ultraman, right? Besides, isn't Ultraman a resident of the M star field? Jiang Ming, how do you know what's going on there?"

Kamijou Touma didn't know how to complain about this friend around him.

"All in all, where is the progress now? Are you ready to marry? To be honest, you have lived with her. If there is no result, it will be a bit scumbag."

Asked again, this time Jiang Ming took a more serious attitude.

"Well, the official registration, no matter what, I have to wait until I'm full..."

Not daring to look at Jiang Ming, Kamijou Touma answered in a low voice in embarrassment.

"So it really has become a de facto marriage, right?"

"This... can't be helped..."

It’s fine if you’ve been caught in trouble and in danger in the past, because you really don’t have the time and energy to think about those things.However, after returning to peaceful daily life, the long-term coexistence of men and women in the same room, coupled with the lack of attention of parents in this regard, eventually led to a bad state.

"But let me say it first. Although Index looks very young, she is actually about the same age as me, so she is legal."

Kamijou Touma emphasized to Jiang Ming very seriously.

"Okay, okay, I know."

Jiang Ming waved his hand, expressing that he didn't want to hear the boy's justification.

The two walked out of the house, walked through the lush and pleasant courtyard, opened the gate, and returned to the street.After all, Kamijou was still in school, and he only took a short leave of absence, so he still had to go back to class.As for Jiang Ming, the combined actual age of the three generations is more than 50 years old. He has the habit of taking a walk in the afternoon, so he has to go for a walk now.

But before that, someone stopped them outside.

A young man with a pale complexion who looked extremely skinny, like the kind in a promotional and educational film who had sucked too much X, stopped the two of them with a mysterious expression on his face.

"Hey, let me tell you, do you want to—"

The young man greeted him with a strange smile.

"Do you want to catch jellyfish together?"

Then he took out a tube of blue injection from his pocket.

Chapter 10: Hush, Ladder, Tide, Containment and Protection

Two minutes later, Jiang Ming and Kamijou Toma escorted the young man with a bruised nose and swollen face after being beaten up to the local police station. After being thanked by the police officer on duty, the two returned to the street.

"The thing just now, according to the police officer, is called 'Clear Sea', a kind of stimulant drug product that can be completely addicted once."

Jiang Ming frowned.

"Injecting this medicine, users will feel as if they are traveling in the starry sky and see many small things floating in the air. Some will think that it is a jellyfish, and some will think that it is some kind of cosmic creature, But no matter what kind of cognition, people who see this scene will have the idea of ​​​​wanting to chase this kind of thing."

"Not only that, after injection addiction, users will actively change their mentality and share this medicine with others. They will strongly express the hope that others can experience the same experience as themselves. This process does not require any Guidance, as long as the injection of the drug addiction can be completed."

He slowly read the contents of the public information sent to him by the police station.

"In other words, is it a very dangerous new drug?"

Kamijou Touma clenched his fists.

"...No, I think it might be more than that."

Jiang Ming shook his head.

Indeed, just based on this description, it feels more like some kind of terrible mind control drug.

But he felt it was more than that.

Cosmos, jellyfish, chasing, sharing...

A terrible possibility occurred to him at this moment.

"This leaflet, the police station said it will be distributed around, and everyone will be vigilant at that time, I think it should be fine, right?"

Kamijou Touma thought about it, and said tentatively.

"Maybe, I hope I'm thinking too much."

Bad premonitions keep accumulating in his heart, but now Jiang Ming can only hope that everything can be resolved smoothly, and good news can drive away the anxiety in his heart as soon as possible.

This kind of thing made the two of them have no interest in chatting. Kamijou Touma hurried to the school, and luckily happened to meet a car going to school. Kamijou Touma had helped him before and was willing to send him to school. The person driving the car, so he left here quickly.

Jiang Ming, who was no longer in the mood to turn around, sighed and decided to go home and stay in the house for a day.

Speaking of which, on this list, the current level of the incident is also indicated.

Jiang Ming looked down at the side of the list in his hand, where the danger level of this incident was printed: Ladder.

The so-called danger level is issued by the Covenant Containment Control Center, an official organization that is said to be formerly known as the Supernatural Dimension Containment and Protection Organization, and is divided into four levels.

The first is the Hush level.

This level is not what the word means, but it means that the event is easy to control, or that it takes very little power to control an event of this level.For example, for example, a mirror with some kind of twisting power can cause the body of a person exposed to it for more than 5 minutes to explode and die, and then this mirror is placed over a city and causes more than a million people to explode, but to solve this mirror, you only need to take Cover it with a cloth, and the event will still be considered Hush level.

Because it is easy to control and solve.

The second level is Ladder.

It requires a certain amount of power to control and is dangerous to a certain extent. To resolve incidents of this level, large-scale actions and certain consumption are often required. It can be classified as a Ladder, because to solve this group of thugs requires the police station to mobilize a lot of power, and it often takes a lot of money to solve it.

The third level is

Tide level, the name of this level, and the first and fourth levels are all some kind of level inherited from the predecessor of the containment control center.

This level is the dividing point between "crises that can be caused by normal people" and "crises that can be caused by abnormal existence". It is almost impossible for ordinary humans to cause events of this level, and it is really possible to cause large-scale crises, such as an entire city or an entire country. , and even a crisis event that lasts to the extent of the entire universe in the whole world.

For incidents of this level, there are very few public introduction materials, because starting from this level involves certain elements of secrecy, Jiang Ming only knows about dangerous incidents of this level, which are usually difficult or even impossible to solve, so "control and containment" is required. ", make it as harmless as possible, and limit it to a certain extent.

Generally speaking, when a Tide event occurs, the location of that event is basically lost.Although there are precedents where the source of a Tide-level event has been successfully transferred and contained, and there are precedents where a Tide-level event has caused little or no damage, but generally, when encountering an event of this level, ordinary people can close their eyes and wait for death .

As for the fourth level, Canceration level, there is no record. People only know that there is a level division of this dangerous event in the containment center.

As well as whether it exists or not has been debated endlessly, and at the same time, it is completely impossible to know the fifth level defined by its name, a level that is said to be truly doomsday as long as it appears in the legend.

"A second-level event?"

With an ominous premonition lingering in his heart, Jiang Ming sighed, and he opened the door after he had already walked back to the house, and returned to the living room on the first floor.

Then I heard the sound of struggling in the bedroom.

Did you wake up so soon?

The opponent's physical fitness may be higher than I expected.
