Lost Narrative Poetry

Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko couldn't help but become nervous. They raised their ears attentively and stared at Kanzaki Kaori with their eyes.

Why did it suddenly become such a scary topic?

They want to erase the memory of that person named Index, but these two people still have good intentions? Because if we don’t do this, that person named Index will... not be able to survive?

This is too exciting, and... the choice of erasing memory or dying seems too heavy. For these girls, although they live in Academy City, they have not really been exposed to the darkness of the world. Children really seem to be so far away.

"Since you know the specialness of Index, you should understand that for a girl of her age, it is impossible to hold one hundred and three thousand magic books in her head. task, but she just did it..."

Kanzaki Kaori is reluctant to recall such a terrible thing, but there is no other way. She can only explain it as clearly as possible, hoping to understand it emotionally and rationally, so that the person in front of her can understand their difficulties and actions. Necessary, at least don't hinder them.

"She copied the original grimoires sealed around the world and kept them in her mind. She was the grimoire library that copied and preserved the knowledge of the original grimoires. She was given a heavy mission. Such a person is called the Index of Forbidden Books, and she is origin of name……"

——Magic book?

——One hundred and three thousand volumes?

——A catalog of banned books?

Probably because the weird terms popped up one after another, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and subconsciously looked around, wondering whether she heard it wrong, or whether this group of people were colluding to deliberately tease her.

She found that the tall girl who said this naturally had a very natural expression and demeanor, and did not look like she was stiff in reading the lines or had a chuunibyou attack.

But this doesn't mean anything, because in the eyes of the brown-haired girl, Kanzaki Kaori is very unique in appearance alone. He is wearing a white T-shirt tied up at the waist, and a denim jacket covering his lower body. It's ripped jeans.

The right arm of the coat was cut off along with the shoulder, while the entire trouser leg of the jeans was cut off from the left thigh, revealing the entire white thigh, which was quite sexy.

This is actually because the asymmetric balance between the left and right is very effective in the composition of the technique, so Kanzaki Kaori uses it, and it is not intended to expose the curves of the body. The principle is just like the players in the game. As long as the score of a certain piece of equipment is higher, they will wear it without hesitation.

No matter how weird the piece of equipment is or how different the shape is, these are not things that players need to consider. They always start from pragmatism... Therefore, the "players are asked to wear at least something in the cutscenes" Like a person" situation occurs.

The situation is similar. Kanzaki Kaori is basically doing it for the same reason, but Misaka Mikoto certainly doesn't know. She just thinks this girl's clothes are "pornographic"...

As a girl who knows how to wear safety pants under her skirt, Misaka Mikoto is actually a very conservative good girl, so she naturally feels that Kanzaki Kaori is not too serious. Dressed in such a style, even if he is not in the advanced stage of chuunibyou, he is definitely a noble who kills Matt. Maybe his thoughts are not normal.

After making this judgment, the brown-haired girl moved her gaze in the direction of Steele, and found that the latter had the same look, as if he took these things for granted.

Well, no, this red-haired delinquent priest cannot be trusted. After all, his appearance is even worse. As a clergyman, his hands are covered with rings as if to show off his wealth. It is as if he is wearing a ring on his ears. He is also covered in earrings, has fashionable barcode tattoos on his face, and the smell of nicotine and perfume on his body can kill people...

And Misaka Mikoto has not forgotten that this two-meter-tall delinquent priest is only fourteen years old. After all, they were also there that day, so it is not surprising to know this information, so for a person of this age, it is very difficult for a person with chuunibyou. Is that normal?

After denying two people in a row and failing to get confirmation from the other party, Misaka Mikoto looked at Xia Ran thoughtfully, and then looked away directly.

Then.

She was pleased to find that her friend next to her, Saten Ruiko, also looked confused and her eyes were a little confused. It seemed that she couldn't understand the same as herself... It seemed that she was not the only one who had the problem, but this group of people. Everyone has problems!

Misaka Mikoto seemed to be determined, folding her arms in front of her chest, and nodded to herself with relief.

"Her physique is very special and she has the ability to completely remember. Whether she expects it or not, she will put everything in front of her into her mind..."

At this time, Kanzaki Kaori was still talking about Index, unaware that someone had just made a very disrespectful slander against her.

The voice of this girl "sage" is very weak, and her appearance is very helpless, just like a tired ordinary girl: "No matter it is the pedestrians on the road, or how many leaves there are on the roadside trees, no matter how complicated things are, as long as you look at them, Once she passes it, she will remember it all and never forget it... Every leaf on the street tree, every face in the crowd, the shape of every raindrop falling from the sky, whether she wants it or not, she cannot forget it."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and Kanzaki Kaori raised his tired eyes.

She found that Steele was still silent, still maintaining the same cold iron expression as before, as if he had completely closed his heart, while the two girls' eyes widened slightly. , looked very surprised, as if she was shocked and shocked by what she just said.

As for the young man in front of me, he couldn't help but frown at this moment, as if I heard something that surprised him.

It seems that he has understood the situation.

As if he was mocking something, or as if he was mocking himself, Kanzaki Kaori twitched the corners of his mouth and revealed a contemptuous and ugly smile: "Are you surprised? But yes, it is indeed the case..."

"Well, I am indeed a little surprised. I thought you were going to such trouble to say something special. Shouldn't this kind of thing be possible for everyone?"

Xia Ran nodded repeatedly and said this in agreement, but while he agreed, he frowned, as if he didn't understand the situation.

"Being able to mentally calculate "1+1=2", is this a very special talent? Isn't it possible for everyone to do it?" - Although he didn't say it out loud, his expression said it as a matter of course. Meaning, he casually stabbed everyone with precision.

"..."

"..."

Cold scene halo! start up!

The scene was completely silent, as if all the sounds had been directly killed. At this moment, many people felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.

Hard! Hard!

The fist is hard!

His fair and slender fingers clenched tightly into fists. Kanzaki Kaori took deep breaths several times, trying his best not to argue with this person and not to be angry.

She focused her attention and thoughts on the words she had just organized and what she wanted to say, and then she reawakened the emotions she had just brewed, instead of accompanying the atmosphere she had just created and being completely destroyed by a light word. .

"Anyway, that's it. The way she remembers things is different from us. What she has is a complete memory ability, which is the ability to never forget something once she has seen it. However, this is not a good thing, because forgetting Behavior is actually very necessary.”

"The capacity of the human brain is actually smaller than we think. Our brains can continue to operate for nearly a hundred years because the brain can constantly organize memories and forget useless memories. Everyone organizes them unconsciously The brain, if it doesn't do this, can't survive."

"But she can't do this. She can't forget anything, so her brain will be filled with these garbage memories in a short period of time. Eighty-five percent of her brain capacity has been used to remember that Of the 13,000 magic books, only 15% are usable..."

Probably because he was afraid that someone would ruin the atmosphere again, Kanzaki Kaori spoke very quickly this time. He spoke a long paragraph in one breath like a barrage of words, and then stopped.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her voice gradually became colder: "So, if she can't forget by herself, we must rely on external forces to help her forget and sort out those useless memories - otherwise, she will die."

"..."

"..."

The air has turned cold, and the scorching heat of midsummer is descending on this empty rooftop for no reason.

After a moment of silence, Kanzaki Kaori stared at the magician and said seriously: "Now, do you know why we do this? I really hope you can understand, I don't want to name the magic... "

Maybe there is no chance of winning, but if the other party wants to interfere with him in this matter, then Kanzaki Kaori is willing to risk it.

"I know..." Xia Ran exhaled and nodded thoughtfully, "Sure enough, being uneducated is really scary."

"It's good to know, so I hope you...I hope you...wait, what did you say?" Kanzaki Kaori just breathed a sigh of relief and was continuing the topic. He wanted to make a request, but suddenly found that it seemed Something was not quite right, and I realized it only in hindsight.

"You are said to be uneducated. I dare not believe anything you say." The magician shook his head with a look of disdain on his face. "I am really surprised that this kind of statement, which is full of loopholes, can really deceive you... "

"W-what?"

The face of the girl "Saint" is full of astonishment and confusion. What is unfolding is completely different from what was promised.

"Who told you to go away? I changed my mind and don't want to be friends with stupid people like you..."

The magician waved his hands with a look of disgust, turned around and left. He put on his pants quite well... ahem, he was quite decisive and cut his losses as soon as he noticed something was not right. He acted resolutely and had no intention of dragging him down to his new friends. of average IQ.

"I, I...not, this..."

Kanzaki Kaori, who was messy in the wind, stretched out her palms, but she didn't know what to say. She couldn't react at all what was going on.

You obviously said it well, but why did you suddenly become so heartless? Didn't you say you wanted to be friends with me?

Steele next to him also had a dull expression.

"Hey! Wait..."

Even Misaka Mikoto almost couldn't come to her senses. When she looked back, she found that the man was already standing neatly in the elevator room, reaching out to press the floor button, and the elevator door began to close slowly.

She quickly grabbed Saten Ruiko and quickly caught up with her.

"..."

"..."

The air became quiet again, and the wind on the rooftop was a little strong.

The two magicians stood there in a daze, feeling that they were not well. The emotions they had just brewed, their awareness and determination once again, etc., etc., these things were the same as the atmosphere just now. , seemingly smashed to pieces.

Well, that guy's extremely disgusting eyes and undisguised words directly shattered all the things they had.

It seemed to him that Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl's heart-breaking pain, their willingness to hurt themselves, and their determination to become villains were all hopelessly stupid, and he didn't even bother to talk about it. Having said that, he turned around and left——

This was the main reason that caused the biggest impact on the two of them.

If Xia Ran denied their persistence, and at the same time patiently explained to them that this was a conspiracy of the church, and used various scientific theories to try to prove it, then their first reaction would definitely be to reject and refuse to believe it.

However, it was such an expression of disgust that they didn't want to say another word to them, which made them feel inexplicably trembling in their hearts, and they subconsciously paid attention to what the other party had just said.

I care about it so much that I can't let it go no matter what.

"Kanzaki, what... does he mean? We were... deceived by the church...?"

Steele looked blankly at his companions beside him. He clenched his fists unconsciously, almost crushing his nails.

Speaking of which, he seemed to have never thought about one thing, and that was the issue of brain capacity. How did those numbers like 85% and 15% come about? Index memorized one hundred and thirty thousand magic books. Exactly how much memory is used, and the remaining memory can support one year of memory...

Whether this information is accurate or not, and how does the church know it?

There was no answer, the girl "Saint" seemed to be in a daze.

…

…

"Hey! Wait! I told you to wait..."

Because he missed the elevator, he ended up waiting for the next one. Then he had to run all the way to catch up with the brown-haired girl and the black-haired girl who had been separated from each other before. Finally, they caught up with the magician who was returning home. , and couldn't help but panting.

"Hey, it's you, good morning."

Xia Ran was lowering his head to check the results of the camera in his hand. Hearing the sound, Xia Ran looked back, said lightly, and raised his hand to say hello.

"What do you mean it's us? Did you just discover us now..." Misaka Mikoto almost couldn't breathe. She tried hard to endure it, but she still couldn't help but screamed.

What is going on with this guy?

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Xia Ran said casually without taking it seriously. Then he seemed to understand something and looked down at the digital camera in his hand. "If you want the previous photos and videos, I haven’t finished editing it yet, do you want to take it back now?”

"Who wants this!" Misaka Mikoto said without appreciation at all, preconceivedly thinking that this was a video photo of the two people she had just taken.

"No, forget it. I hope you won't regret it..." The magician looked at her deeply.

"Why should I regret these things..." the brown-haired girl replied unhappily, and then waved her hands in annoyance, "Wait, don't interrupt. Regarding the matter just now, you just left like this? Are you going to ignore it?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't care. Didn't I agree to them?" Xia Ran said confidently, "It's obvious that the deal has broken down. They hope I won't care, so I still have to care!"

"Really? That's good..." Misaka Mikoto nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that this person really didn't care. The girl named Index was too pitiful.

Seemingly remembering something again, she frowned, hesitated, and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, what they were talking about about magic books and magic...are you serious?"

"Of course not seriously."

"Really?" Misaka Mikoto actually felt that it couldn't be true, but the man answered so quickly, which made her not sure.

"I'm not telling you that. You are such an old man now. It's time to accept the reality..." Xia Ran looked at her with a look of pity, "You have to believe in science, magic and miracles, how is it possible? Will it exist?"

"..."

"..."

It seems to be the truth, but why do I always feel that something is wrong when these words are spoken from this person's mouth?

Misaka Mikoto was still a little unwilling to give up, so she thought for a while and asked: "What is the "magic name" that the woman said...? "

"Well, modern magicians will engrave their wishes and purposes on their souls in Latin. This is the so-called magic name." The magician replied casually. "The name of magic contains the reason for learning magic. Once you use this name to fight, you must have the corresponding awareness."

"..."

"..."

So you just told us there is no such thing as magic, let us believe in science. And then in the blink of an eye, he started to spread these strange knowledge to us in a serious manner?

The two girls stared at the boy's face with embarrassment, feeling that they didn't know how to complain.

Saten Ruiko said, dumbfounded, "Then...senpai, what is your magic name? Do you have a magic name?"

In fact, she still didn't believe it, but she also thought it was funny. She thought she seemed to understand this person's character a little bit, so she relaxed a lot and couldn't help but complain.

"...VICARIUS666."

Feeling the "sight" appearing in the air, Xia Ran blinked.
