Bandage fine tricks

"The area in front of the inpatient department?" Mingtu Zhuhun touched the top of his shiny head, thought for a while, but still couldn't remember: "Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the terrain of this hospital, why don't you ask me later?" How about the nurse at the nurse's station?"

"Huh?" Xiao Ba blinked, "Aren't you a doctor in this hospital?"

She also thought that because of Academy City's shareholding, Netherland Chaser also worked in this hospital-of course, the time must be the hospital in Academy City that adjusts the bodies of the Misaka sisters, but no matter what Unfamiliar, it's not that the inpatient department is not familiar with the area and surrounding environment where severe patients often come out, right?

Could it be that……

"I just came here today, and I came here specifically to give you a physical examination." Nether Earth Zhuihun smiled generously, confirming Xiao Ba's thoughts.

It's really like this, I owe you a favor... Xiaoba didn't show it on the surface, but thought distressedly in his heart.

Nether Earth Chasing Soul looked at the pair of fluffy animal ears that moved subconsciously. If he didn't know that the girl in front of him was distressed by this, he might have touched it reflexively.

No way, it looks good to touch...

"That's it... Well, thank you doctor, I will report to you in time if there is any other situation." Xiaoba said, finished the examination, said goodbye to the ghost, and walked out of the office.

Not forgetting to pull up the hood to cover the overly eye-catching ears, Xiao Ba looked at the topographic distribution map of the hospital hall, and checked with the nurse's station to confirm the purpose of that area.

"Cabin" - that's what the nurses call it. It is the last resort for tumor patients who cannot be operated on. If the treatment in the "cabin" fails, conservative treatment is the only option.

For those patients, "conservative treatment" is almost equivalent to going home to die.

Xiao Ba frowned.

Will it be accompanied by others?

if not--

——Why, Mr. Henggou Masashi appeared there?

Long-term stay hot spring homestay, health resort...

bad feeling.

This hospital has done a good job of keeping the patient's identity confidential. It is basically impossible to ask the patient's situation from the doctor or nurse. Xiaoba did not do any useless work. She decided to go back and inquire about the situation first. What if she was wrong?

When Gogol and Sigma arrived at the place where the rats of the dead house were staying, the Russian youth sitting at the computer desk was on the phone: "...well, yes, please send to this address, thank you very much." He ended the call, Looking at the two people who came over, "Welcome back safely."

"That old man is really scary..." Sigma subconsciously said, "Dostoevsky, are you really sure that he has no more than two years left to live?"

He didn't ask why Dostoyevsky knew about what could be called the top secret of the state.

"At least when our plan is implemented, even if he wants to stop it, he has more than enough power." Dostoevsky folded his hands under his chin, and said with a smile, "It's like the afterglow of the setting sun. Although it is still magnificent, no one can prevent it from gradually disappearing."

"But..." Sigma sighed, "Sorry, I didn't secure the base well... the coin bomb has probably been discovered."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a means of 'oppression', it doesn't matter even if it is discovered," the young man smiled, "We have enough leeway to correct mistakes."

That’s right, it doesn’t mean much, since Dostoevsky said so… Sigma put the matter aside for the time being, and then he found something wrong: it seems that, since he came back, everything seems to be A little too quiet?

By the way, what about Gogol?

He hurriedly turned his head to look for someone, and found that the white clown was holding the fur ball on his collar, his expression was melancholy and peaceful, and he looked like a rare handsome man who could be painted.

Sigma: "...Has Gogol been swapped?"

When has he been so quiet!

It almost made him suspect that this was a fake clown!

Dostoevsky followed Sigma's line of sight and quickly understood what was going on: "It's okay, just let him stay alone for a while."

"Really?"

"Just got hit."

"……Eh?"

Sigma almost doubted his ears: hit?that clown?Is he still dreaming today?

"To be honest, not only he was hit, but I was also a little bit hit. I thought it was just being forgotten..." Without looking at Sigma's more skeptical expression, Dostoevsky sighed, "It's a bit difficult. , how can I fix it..."

Restoring a person's memory and correcting a person's image error memory is not at the same level of difficulty. The memory was originally so vague and difficult to control, but now it has become like that again...

It feels more like a one-size-fits-all.

It's good to recreate new memories—but I don't want Katyusha to forget those memories.

It's really hard to do...

The young man showed a distressed expression rarely.

I can't bear her to be sad, and I can't bear her to be sad——

Sure enough, even after so many years, he was still helpless against Katyusha.

"Ah!"

Xiao Ba sneezed.

"Have you caught a cold?" Yatogami Gorou heard the sound, and before Xiaoba raised any objections, he forcibly put back the fluffy hood she had taken off, "Your hair is not dry yet, wait for me to take it hair dryer!"

Xiaoba: ...I don't want to have to wear a hood to cover my ears at home!

Although Xiao Hei asked her to put on the hood now to use the hood of the quick-drying fluffy pajamas to absorb as much moisture as possible from her hair—just now, she completed an epic and difficult task: washing her hair hair!

It is well known that cats are animals that hate water.

Although Xiaoba doesn’t have this problem (or it’s not that serious, after all, she’s still a human being), but when she washed her hair with this pair of plush animal ears, she discovered the ultimate reason why cats hate water : The ears will get water!

Heren's ears are on both sides of the skull, whether it is falling into the water or washing with the head down, the auricles block it, at least the water will not directly fall into the ear canal, but after turning into animal ears...it can't be stopped!

Considering that there are extremely thick and fluffy black and gray soft hairs on the pinnae, and on the premise that these should be washed together, washing his own hair has become a hassle that made Xiao Ba start thinking about the possibility of shaving his head thing.

——Of course, before she made up her mind and took action, Yatogami Kuro successfully stopped her with reasons such as her skillful housework and "help you wash".

Although it is good that Xiao Hei is willing to help her, it is impossible to ask Xiao Hei to help her all the time... Xiao Ba, who was thinking about it, felt a very piercing gaze.

Xiao Ba turned her head, and the pink-haired girl with different pupils but with the look of a cat was staring at her with sparkling eyes.

To be precise, staring at her ears.

Silent for a few seconds, Xiao Ba silently moved to the side: "Don't come here, the hair is still wet and sticky, even if you touch it, it won't feel good to touch, so don't touch it..."

"But, Xiao Ba's ears are moving all the time! So cute!" Mao Fei said quickly, "I want to touch the hair when it's dry!"

"No no no impossible!"

Xiao Ba refused San Lian, and under the background that the cat was almost completely wiped out after being hit hard, she noticed what the cat said just now: the ears keep moving?

She looked towards the French windows on one side, and the glass clearly reflected the appearance of a girl with frizzy, messy and wet hair, and the pair of ears on the top of her head that were still straight after all the wet hair moved slightly from time to time, as if she was listening What to listen to.

The sound of heartbeat, the sound of blood rushing in the blood vessels, the sound of clothes rubbing against the surface of the sofa while sitting on the sofa, the sound of water transported in the stems of wisteria outside the house... all the sounds from heaven and earth gathered in her ears, but she But it never felt noisy or unbearable.

Ah, it seems that he has indeed been "listening" subconsciously... Xiao Ba realized this belatedly.

——Because, subconsciously ignored.

But recalling it now, she can still clearly recount the cat's heartbeat rhythm just now, the leaves of the bushes outside the door rubbed against each other and made several sounds, and the distant bell from a block further away...

When it is ignored, the brain subconsciously writes it down, and can read it when needed... Xiaoba speculates that this pair of cat ears has brought new changes to his brain, which should be what Dr. Guatai said " It's one of the constant changes", otherwise she will be driven crazy by the noisy and useless sound that cannot be filtered before enjoying the hearing brought by these sensitive ears.

It feels like saving a disk on a computer, packing it into the hard disk, and searching it out when needed...

"Lord Xia Ji, are you listening?"

The voice from the computer speaker drew Xiao Ba's attention back: "Ah, I'm listening, you continue to talk."

"Okay, according to the data collected in the abandoned factory, we noticed that the function of this pair of glasses is not perfect (Xiao Ba: Actually, it is already very perfect...) - Please don't interrupt me, Lord Xia Ji - The size of the glasses is limited, and if we want to entrust all the functions to it, it is impossible to do it with our current material science process, so it is inevitable that we need to add networking functions to it.”

"Is this function already available?" Xiao Ba said while wiping the ends of his hair with a dry towel.

Without the networking function, how can it be possible to realize the function of connecting glasses and mobile phones?

"That's just the beginning, I have a new plan now, Mrs. Xia Ji, please take a look at it." Mr. Rabbit, who didn't know the code name, said seriously, and sent a document.

Xiaoba chooses to accept it, opens it and looks at it: In view of the size limitation of the glasses, too powerful functions cannot be added, even if it is forcibly added, the matching performance will not be high. In this case, then do not add functions to the glasses.

Transfer all the functions to the computer, use the cloud to control the split, and use the glasses as a medium to display the functions.

"Since Mrs. Xia Ji, you seem to be very incapable of taking care of yourself—please don't protest, this is what His Highness the Silver King said—so we added more functions about life to it."

Specifically, it was a ten-page function introduction. After reading it, Xiao Ba said, "...I have a small problem."

"Please speak, Lord Xia Ji, I'm listening."

"Is there one of you called Anthony Stark?"

"rabbit":"……???"

Xiao Ba did not answer why she asked this question. After reading all the function introductions, she only had one thought:

Isn't this the artificial intelligence butler of Iron Man? ? ?

Oh, no, after a closer look, the old man also included the fire control system of the Non-Shiyuan Research Institute, that is to say, she still has the right to mobilize this part of the force for self-defense or attack. This is probably to make up for her The cheating colorless king ability, but——

——Isn’t this just Jarvis + Edith? ? ?

The carrier is still glasses, don't bully her because she is close to the deadline, busy rushing to draft and missed the release time of Far From Heroes, thinking she doesn't know the AI ​​capabilities in this movie!

"There is no one with this name in the research institute, and after we joined the imperial clan, we abandoned our previous name. Even if there is a person with this name, we don't know." "Rabbit" is still serious Said.

Xiaoba: "..."

Damn it, the feeling that no one can understand her complaints... Who can understand her!

"Forget it..." Xiaoba waved his hand, "Take it easy, I just wanted a pair of glasses that could cover the color of my eyes without affecting my vision..."

Why did it become the advanced glasses attached to the current intelligent AI system?

I talked to this "rabbit" for a while about when to get to know the Supernatural Secret Service (Rabbit: Even if you don't want to show your face, at least you have to know who you have under your command? Little Ba: No, please let me Enjoy the student life for a while longer, I don’t want to become a social animal so quickly! Be careful, I’m like Mr. Dazai skipping work to show you!), Xiaobai’s communication interrupted: "Xiaoba, the follow-up processing of the abandoned factory is over Well, if that factory is taken down, it will basically cut off the transfer station for the dark forces in Academy City to smuggle items out. Your mission has almost been completed, so the lieutenant asked me to ask you, what reward do you want? Negotiate with Academy City."

"I don't have anything... No, wait a minute," the words that Xiao Ba originally planned to decline came to her lips, but they were cut off by herself. She thought for a while and asked, "What did the old man originally plan to give me?"

"In addition to the command and control of the armed system, and the Ability Secret Service Division you already know, he is going to ask Academy City to give you a set of clockwork bandages and improvements to enhance your self-protection capabilities. "Xiaobai said.

Compared with other kings, Xiao Ba's physical strength is still a bit weak (of course, it is calculated separately in the cat state), on the one hand, there is the colorless king as the seventh king, and the king with the lowest average ability The reason is that, on the other hand, it may be because the "king ceremony" is incomplete, so that although Xiao Ba has the authority and power of the colorless king, he has not been instilled with the knowledge and practices that a normal king should have. body strengthening transformation.

——Before becoming king and after becoming king, Xiaoba's physical ability has hardly changed much. The two most obvious changes, the body bonus of the king and the knowledge instilled by the slate, have not been reflected in her. Guochang Road Dajue and Xiaobai guessed that it was because the ceremony of becoming a king was incomplete.

Clockwork Bandage Improved is the result of further optimization on the basis of Clockwork Bandage and Clockwork Bandage Modification. It protects the body while further enhancing athletic ability. If the Clockwork Bandage can make a well-trained person If it reaches the same level as the train, the clockwork bandage improved type can increase the speed to the level of the high-speed rail without any sequelae.

Given that strength and speed are two aspects that complement each other, it can also be known that the change in strength will be greater by then.

It is a prop that is very suitable for Xiaoba who doesn't have much self-protection ability at present-compared to other kings.

"That's it..." After listening to Xiao Bai's introduction, Xiao Ba thought for a while and said, "Can I change my request?"

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback, "What does Xiaoba want?"

Looking at the half-read novel collection at hand, which made her scratch her heart and want to know the following content, Xiao Ba said: "That croaking imperial doctor...cough cough, doctor of soul chasing in the underworld, I can ask him to treat someone chance?"

Xiaobai didn't answer right away, but turned around and asked Dajue on Guochang Road—after all, he was not familiar with Academy City, and he didn't know exactly what Xiaoba mentioned about "Chasing Souls in Netherland" Who, after getting the lieutenant's nod, he said: "This is no problem."

Netherland Chasing Soul is the best doctor in Academy City and even in the whole world. There are rumors that even if one foot of the person he wants to save has stepped into the realm of Hades, he can snatch the patient back from the underworld. It's called "Pursuing the Soul in the Underworld" - it's normal if Xiao Ba wants such a doctor's chance to treat him in consideration of his life safety.

After all, under normal circumstances, it is very rare to get the chance to be treated by such a famous doctor.

After finishing the communication with Feishiyuan, Xiaoba hung up the phone, and the phone rang.

When she saw the number clearly, the girl with black hair and different eyes didn't want to pick up the phone very much.

Even want to throw the phone into the fish tank.

Caller ID: Hejian Editor.

Damn it, the deadline is still far away, why don't you start urging manuscripts so early... Xiaoba depressedly pressed the answer button: "What's the matter, Editor Hejian?"

"Ah, Teacher Zhenji, you are here, great, it's like this, our editorial department has received a gift from your readers, indicating that we can pass it on to you, so..."

Gift?

what gift?

An hour later, facing the seven boxes of gummy bears brought by Editor Hejian, Xiao Ba fell silent.

"These were sent to the editorial department by one of your readers." After removing the seven boxes of gummy bears, Editor Hejian wiped his sweat and said, "Teacher, do you like gummy bears very much?"

If the author hadn't stated a certain hobby, generally speaking, even if readers would give some gifts, they wouldn't just send seven boxes of gummy candies like this—all of them are the same kind of gummy bears.

Xiao Ba didn't answer, but directly opened the box closest to her, took out a pack of gummy bears and looked at it.

The sign in Russian is not posted in Japanese, indicating that it is not a formal way to enter Japan - if it is formal customs clearance, it should be accompanied by a text description in the native language.

The package has not been opened, and the smell is no different from normal gummy bears, so...

What does the "devil" mean by sending these things?

Gain weight on her? ? ?
