I am the celebration monster of Academy City

"So... the result is this? LevelUpper (fantasy hand)?"

Chapter 94 Stop it, Ah Lai is [-] in [-]

"Well, according to the legend, as long as you use the fantasy hand, your ability will be improved."

"Then what about formality?"

Shirai Kuroko also became a little interested. Although she doesn't feel that this kind of thing can replace normal education to make the abilities of the capable person grow, but this urban legend was noticed by Saten Ruiko, so she has to pay attention to it a little bit. up.

Today, although it is the same development hobby, the details are slightly different.

In the past, Saten Saten Ruiko was just a simple favorite, and sometimes she would even fall into danger in order to explore urban legends. If it wasn't for good luck, Saten Saten Saten would have been in danger long ago.

But now, Saten Ruiko is not only developing hobbies, she is more willing to pay attention to the truth and clues behind urban legends, and to think about the meaning hidden behind urban legends.

After all, in this Academy City, urban legends are also a part of information control.

Because of this, there are many times when Saten Ruiko stays in the safe zone to harvest the truth and solve related incidents.

That's why Saten Ruiko would say "Among the bunch of urban legends, how many people care about?"

And Saten Ruiko raised her hobby to the level of ability, and Uiharu Shiri and Shirai Kuroko, who are Saten Saten's friends, naturally also paid attention to Saten Saten's ability.

"do not know……"

"do not know?"

"It's just an urban legend that has just appeared, and no more information has been given, or more changes and subspecies have appeared. However, if this kind of thing really exists and has the effect of improving abilities, I doubt there will be Many low-level ability users use it. For example, people with no ability like me."

Saten Ruiko pointed at herself and joked about herself indifferently.

On the opposite side, Chuchun Shili and Shirai Kuroko also looked indifferent.

This is not ignorance or indifference, but now, Saten Ruiko is no longer the kind of person who cares about the level of ability.

Uiharu Shiri and Shirai Kuroko knew this clearly, so they ignored Saten Ruiko's little joke and focused on other things.

"In other words, if this kind of thing really exists, it can really work..."

Chuchun Shili's expression became more serious, and she had already thought of many terrible possibilities.

"If this thing is harmful... wouldn't it spread when everyone doesn't know about it? Saten-san doesn't care about the level anymore, but there are still many low-ability people who still hope to be able to increase the level?"

Saten Reniko nodded seriously, since she has brought it up for discussion, it means she is not joking.

"That's the thing. Some news about this rumor has appeared in my organization. I have already started an investigation. If there is any progress, I will tell you."

"Sure enough, we can only rely on you... When nothing happens, even if there is doubt, the disciplinary committee cannot be dispatched."

Shirai Kuroko said helplessly.

The Disciplinary Committee itself is an autonomous organization that is only responsible for the schools and regions that its branch is responsible for. People like Shirai Kuroko who run around and solve incidents in every school are actually exceeding their authority at all times.

On the other hand, mobilizing all or most of the discipline committee members to take action because of an uncertain news, if the news is true, it can be regarded as a gain, but if the news is false, it will be a huge waste of resources. Governance gaps and loopholes can even be created as a result of such actions.

Therefore, it is both wisdom and helplessness to wait for a certain phenomenon to appear and then take targeted action.

"Anyway, this is what our side is good at. It's better to say that I hope that the fantasy master can appear here, so that I know what it is and look for it."

Saten Ruiko's face showed a strategizing smile.Obviously, she only noticed such a thing by accident, but she seemed to have made a series of perfect plans and found the truth.

"I see there are other records on this?"

"Well, this."

Saten Ruiko changed the position of her finger.

This time, it was Shirai Kuroko who read the record out.

"That very valuable orange?"

"It sounds like you've won the lottery at first, but it's not like that. This urban legend has a little more content, and it's a typical type with a story."

"A traveler who traveled overseas saw "that very valuable orange" in a specialty shop in a certain country.It was introduced that it was an incredible orange whose value would rise naturally as long as you held it, so the traveler bought the orange thinking it was a lucky charm or something, and put the orange at home after returning from the trip. "

Shirai Kuroko continued to read the content that was excerpted by Saten Ruiko.

"However, the originally normal orange squirmed like a bug."

"Eh... so disgusting..."

Uiharu Shiri showed a disgusted expression.When she first heard the name of this urban legend, she thought it was a good thing.

"The traveler who was very concerned sent an email to the homepage of the specialty store, and then got such a reply from the specialty store. "There are more than 100 eggs of ultra-rare army ants in the orange, as long as they hatch the natural value It will go up "something..."

"So, in line with the development of the story, behind the traveler who read this email, the very valuable orange exploded with a bang! Army ants crawled out of the orange."

The end of the story was told by Saten Ruiko first.

Shirai Heizi didn't care much about such trivial matters, after thinking about it, she said thoughtfully.

"This kind of legend... doesn't seem to be a new type. I always feel like I've heard similar ones somewhere before."

"If it's army ants... that kind of ants seem to like the humid climate in Japan very much. Will it cause species invasion if you are not careful? And I also heard that army ants are also very harmful to humans, right? "

Chuchun Shili made a frightening sound, she looked around subconsciously, as if she was afraid that there would suddenly be a wriggling orange here.

"That's right. It's easy to find a lot of reports of army ants attacking humans. At the Second International Pest Prevention Conference, a goal was set to halve their number within 10 years, and Academy City will also provide technology. "

These are all contents that are not recorded on the pages of the book, Saten Ruiko seems to have memorized the relevant contents by heart.

"Ah this-"

Uiharu Shuri's eyes widened.Although she really wanted to investigate the relevant content, she was keenly aware that it might not be a good-looking thing, so she was a little entangled.

"However, what we need to pay attention to here is not army ants, as Shirai-san said, this urban legend itself is a variant.

It was originally popularized with the cactus as the object.Travelers who bought prickly prickly pears from China and the United States were amazed by the movement of prickly prickly pears that adorned their homes, so they called flower shops and gift shops... and so on.As for the content, it should not be army ants. "

"What is that?"

"I've said it all, the army ants themselves are not important. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't explain it. What I mean is that what needs to be paid attention to is the timing of the appearance of this urban legend."

"opportunity?"

Whether this urban legend is true or not.Compared with the urban legend of the Academy City style of fantasizing about the Royal Hand just now, the army ants will literally feel more destructive and harmful.So Shirai Kuroko subtly put more attention on this.

"It's very rare for a prickly pear to turn into an orange. It coincides with the timing of the appearance of this urban legend. That is, there was no such rumor before. Recently, in a certain event, in Academy City, suddenly Explosive proliferation appeared. It can be said to be an extreme regional urban legend."

Maybe some people have such awareness, or can vaguely think of it.

Urban legends are part of information control.In other words, as long as you have the heart, you can also achieve your goals by manipulating urban legends.

This point was pointed out to Saten Ruiko a long time ago.Therefore, Saten Ruiko's attitude towards urban legends will fundamentally change.

Because Uiharu Shiri and Shirai Kuroko are friends of Saten Reiko, they also have the same level of consciousness.

Therefore, Saten Ruiko simply explained, and they understood what Saten Ruiko wanted to express.

"In the background that the urban legend of the so-called "Very Valuable Orange" is spreading rapidly, there may be some events related to it. "

"I think it's highly likely. If possible, I think there's a need for an immediate investigation."

"Saten-san, do you think this orange has a higher priority than Fantasy Miter?"

I don't know if it has something to do with the garland of the body, but compared to the orange with the bug hidden, Uiharu Shiri is more inclined to fantasize about the urban legend of the hand.

"Well, Fantasy Royal Hand is an urban legend in the style of Academy City. Whether it is harmful or harmless, it will follow the style of an invisible Academy City, so it should not be a problem if it is temporarily placed.

But "that very valuable orange" has clues pointing to it being transported from outside Academy City to Academy City.

Although the culture is common, it is normal for urban legends inside and outside Academy City to intersect, but the explosive growth after being introduced into Academy City is indeed abnormal. "

"That is to say, if you think about the conspiracy theory, it may even be an anti-academic organization, or a spy agency that wants to achieve a certain purpose in Academy City in this way?"

The style in Academy City, the style outside Academy City.

If it weren't for the students in Academy City, they probably wouldn't be able to understand this concept.If you want to explain it in detail, it will be complicated and watery.

But for Uiharu Shiri and Shirai Kuroko who are also members of Academy City, after Saten Reiko draws a boundary here, the two of them can immediately understand the difference, this difference is like water and oil There is a clear distinction between Wei and Wei.

Even though this legend has been worked hard to change, trying to imbue it with the style of Academy City, as expected, as long as there are people who are sensitive to this aspect and good at thinking, it is easy to find something wrong.Unfortunately, Saten Ruiko is exactly such a person.

What's more unfortunate is that Saten Ruiko, who has been ridiculed strongly for a while, has really put in a lot of effort because she has relaxed her observations on the field of urban legends.In other words, no matter what the man who propagated this urban legend was trying to do, he was at the point of the gun.

Shirai Heizi nodded solemnly, and then made a decision without hesitation.

"The investigation here...Let Uiharu and I do it."

Although it is impossible to mobilize the entire discipline committee to take action, it can still be done based on individual actions.

Shirai Kuroko is somewhat disapproving of the imaginary master Shirai Kuroko, but Shirai Kuroko attaches great importance to the topic of "oranges".

Moreover, for some reason, Shirai Kuroko always felt inexplicably nervous when talking about this topic, as if some important person was connected with this seemingly inconspicuous urban legend.

"Eh? Hey, hey? Yes, but I want to track down the information about the fantasy master."

Chuchun Shili subconsciously covered the flowers on her head, and the corners of her eyes were frightened by Shirai Heizi's decision, tears came out.

"Whether it's true or not, as long as you find out the truth of this urban legend, I'll bring you a week's Tokiwadai nutrition package."

Shirai Heizi raised his index finger and said calmly.

"Leave this matter to us!"

As soon as he grasped Shirai Kuroko's hand, Uiharu Rishi spoke seriously to Saten Saten who was sitting across from him.Her appearance looks dozens of times higher than that of a certain ninja.

"Uh... I always feel that this place is about to end."

Saten Ruiko showed a helpless expression.

She also seems to have a tendency to take the topic seriously without knowing it.

Frankly speaking, she might be over-interpreting.How could there be so many events in this academy city?

"So, Saten-san still has an urban legend you care about?"

"Actually, it's not an urban legend, it's just something people on my side noticed."

Saten Ruiko fumbled around, took out a photo from her pocket and put it on the table.It looked like a photo taken by accident.

In the photo is a tall foreign man with green dyed hair combed back, slender, wearing a pure white suit that looks very high-end.

"There is always a sense of incompatibility between this man and the atmosphere of Academy City. I don't know why it makes people care. So the people on my side paid more or less attention.

But so far, he has not found anything suspicious. It just feels like he is a stalker, and he has been quietly paying attention to a certain girl from Kirigaoka Women's Academy.

Hmm... Well, maybe they are too motivated, maybe it's a classic love story.In short, it should be fine to leave it alone for the time being. "

Chapter 95 report

St George's Cathedral, London.

Although it seems very famous and powerful at first glance, anyone who knows a little bit will know that there are so many buildings named St. George in London.

In addition to churches, there are also department stores, restaurants, clothing stores, schools, etc. There may be dozens of them in the downtown area alone.Not only that, but there may be more than ten churches with the full name of St. George's Cathedral.

This cathedral is just one of many churches located in central London.That's right, just one of many churches located in the "city center".

It is incomparable with world-renowned tourist attractions such as Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral.Not to mention the comparison with Canterbury Abbey, the place where Puritanism was founded in England.

However, those who go a little deeper into the magical world have no way to underestimate this seemingly ordinary cathedral.

In terms of appearance, this is a very inconspicuous building. It is too wide to be called a church, but it seems too narrow to be called a cathedral.

There is only one reason why this cathedral is extraordinary.

That is, someone is using this place as a stronghold.

That person is the actual leader of the Puritan Church in England, Supreme Bishop Laura Stuart.

A chair was placed before the pulpit, and Laura Stuart sat there.Usually held by silver hair clips, the long golden hair, which is two and a half times as long as the height, is let down vertically from the shoulders.

The parts that cannot be sorted are simply scattered on the floor.Instead of wearing the beige monk's uniform that she usually uses when going out, she is wearing a pure white monk's uniform, with a whole row of gold and silver combs placed on her lap.

Treating her long hair like the strings of a harp, she carefully combed strand after strand of hair with a comb.

With hair that is longer than your height, you can't reach the end of your hair even if you stretch out your hands.So Laura gracefully pulled her hair closer with her hands, brushed it carefully, and put it back on the floor.Blonde hair, presenting a wavy scene.

Laura Stuart is not staying here alone. Although it seems to be leisure time, she is actually still dealing with certain things that she doesn't know whether to call it good or bad.

Perhaps, the only thing I can say is that, at least on the surface, it is something that safeguards the interests of Puritanism and the country of Great Britain.

Showing this gesture may just be to explain one thing, that is, what is being dealt with now, and it doesn't even need her to be serious, as if she can draw a conclusion at will.
