Lost Narrative Poetry

The cafe on the corner was quiet and silent, and it seemed that there weren't many customers coming there usually.

The girl at the counter who is the waitress also looks quiet. She is wearing a pair of glasses. She is sitting there with her head lowered, holding a book and reading quietly. She feels very quiet. She has just served. He also spoke softly.

The street outside the cafe is also empty and quiet. There are no pedestrians or vehicles, only the shade cast by the green trees on both sides. The midsummer sunshine shuttles through the small gaps, soothing and long.

"It feels so peaceful. There are no people on the street. It's so different from other places in Academy City."

Sitting in a corner by the window, with her back to the entrance of the cafe, Xia Ran stirred the hot coffee with a snow-white porcelain spoon while looking at the street outside the window and sighing.

It's just that what he said was a little subtle, making people wonder if a car of vans would rush over soon, brake suddenly on the street outside the window, and then all come down and shoot, beating him to pieces. .

It's a pity that no one in this world can understand this joke, so naturally no one can catch his complaints at this time.

"Don't pretend like nothing has happened! Why are they here?!" Misaka Mikoto just felt that this person was changing the subject, and she stared at Mugino and Shenri who were sitting opposite with dissatisfaction.

Mugino Shenli and Frenda.

When Misaka Mikoto said this, the fourth Atomic Collapse immediately raised her eyebrows high, and a hint of irritability flashed between her eyebrows, but she did not do anything, but spoke in a high-pitched voice and asked in turn:

"Why can't I be here! Is this coffee shop owned by your family?! That's too overbearing, number three!"

He looks gentle on the surface, but in reality he has a violent personality. This is Mugino Shinri. It's just because his personality is originally very violent that he got the ability of "atom collapse", or because he has this ability, his personality becomes violent. , there is no answer to this question.

So strictly speaking, Mugino Shenri is actually calm enough now. After all, not long ago, her string of reason was so stimulated by someone that it broke...

But in the end, she was just extremely angry and insisted on intervening, instead of losing her mind and firing electron rays everywhere, preparing to cut down from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore, which was already a sign of being very tolerant——

Of course, it is also possible that the psychological shadow left by her that day was too serious. She didn't want to do it again until she was absolutely sure that she could defeat Xia Ran... After all, who knew whether someone's real body appeared in front of her. , is all this a realistic illusion that affects the senses?

You can even forcibly intercept the brainwave signals of your own superpowers, and then give false simulations and feedback information. It can be said that there is no chance of winning at all...

Moreover, Mukino Shenli is just a bad-tempered person, but he is not without brains. He naturally knows what to do and what not to do. He doesn't have to ask for hardships before he learns to restrain himself. Once you have experienced some hardships once, you should have a long memory.

"There's nothing I can do. You were there at the time, and it's not like you didn't see her. What can I do if she insists on following her... Think about it, she was trembling when she spoke, and she seemed about to cry."

At this time, the magician said this slowly, with an innocent look on his face. As he spoke, he took a sip of the steaming coffee, seemingly ignoring the scalding temperature.

"So and so is going to cry!! Stop talking nonsense!"

Mugino's hands shook and she almost knocked over the cup in front of her. She raised her head and stared at the magician in front of her in disbelief, her voice trembling and she gritted her teeth.

If this person’s eyes are not needed, can they be donated to those in need? The emotion that I tried my best to suppress at that time was obviously extreme anger, and my body was shaking for that reason. I was definitely not about to cry... How could that kind of behavior that only a little girl would have show up in me?

"Yeah, I know, you don't have to say anything, I understand, I understand..." Xia Ran nodded repeatedly and said with understanding and concern.

It's just that although his expression is very caring, to the person involved, this is definitely provocation and blatant ridicule!

You don't understand at all! ! You understand a loneliness!

Mugino Shenli had an angry look on his face, and his arms were trembling slightly with anger. He barely suppressed his impulse and wanted to throw the cup in his hand over with the coffee.

"This, this... ok, ok, everyone, please calm down..." Saten Ruizi quickly interrupted and calmed down the atmosphere, "Isn't it nice to be able to get together? It happens to be summer vacation. We can all communicate more, we all know each other and can be considered friends..."

"Who wants to be friends with a third person?"

Mugino Shenli sneered, crossed his hands in front of him with disdain, at the same time raised his impressive-looking chest, and turned his face to the side.

"snort!"

Misaka Mikoto also showed a disgusted expression not to be outdone, but when her eyes inadvertently swept across Mugino Shenli's chest, her expression froze slightly, and her aura also weakened a lot unconsciously. look.

hateful! Why is it so big!

wrong! It must be fake! I am the same age and not on that scale, and this is proof!

"This, this... we are not friends, but we can still sit down and have a good talk..."

Saten Ruiko was not discouraged, and still tried her best to make the atmosphere gentler and more friendly.

She felt that everyone might have some minor conflicts, but since they were all students, how could the conflicts be so big? As for what happened before, both parties are victims anyway, so even if they have nothing in common when they meet, they shouldn't be so tit-for-tat, right?

"That's right, that's right. And don't you two have a little bit of sympathy for each other? After all, we are comrades who share weal and woe. Think about your passionate dance together before..."

Xia Ran nodded in agreement and agreed.

"Shut up, shut up!"

"Don't mention that incident again!"

Almost at the same time, Misaka Mikoto and Mugino Shiri miraculously reached a unanimous front. They almost jumped up and screamed. Their faces were full of anger and shame, and their faces were so red that they seemed to be burning. .

It took about an instant for him to be struck down by this man's sinister words, which he pretended to be innocent.

Just like after I finally selectively forgot, someone dug out the sad youth literature I wrote, excerpted the sentences and reread them, forcing myself to recall this shameful black history...

It’s so heartbreaking! How can I bear this!

The quiet girl at the counter not far away couldn't help but frowned and glanced here. However, since there were no other customers in the store, there seemed to be no need to remind these customers to keep quiet, so she simply took out her headphones and put them on. .

"Misaka-senpai... and this senior, calm down, calm down..."

Saten Ruiko didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally stopped the two people who were jumping up and down in anger, but in a sense, it seemed that they had really shortened the distance between them all at once? It was obvious that they had disliked each other and rejected each other before.

Sure enough, isn't there such a saying?

The best way for two people to establish friendship as quickly as possible is to speak ill of a third person together; the best way to unite a group of people is to give them a common enemy.

The girl was a little confused for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the magician who was sitting there calmly and continuing to drink coffee. She was not sure whether this person did it on purpose, but she always felt that there might be such a reason, but he himself There are definitely more bad tastes.

Among the people present, only Flanda didn't care. It could even be said that she was happy to let others attract their attention. She just held the coffee cup and tasted it slowly, ignoring the noise in her ears. It felt like there was wind in my ears.

Make a fuss, it has nothing to do with you anyway.

As for the dark history, Frenda also had a good attitude. She felt that she didn't have many scenes, and as a person with no abilities, she had no reputation at all. In addition, there were two famous superpowers who attracted everyone at the time. sight, so what happened to him was nothing at all.

So when she thought about it, she didn't think there was anything to care about at all. Anyway, the important task of communicating with a certain guy was left to others, and she wouldn't get involved... It was really not friendly to the heart. She is still young and wants to live a few more years.

"It's really irritating..." Misaka Mikoto, who was finally stopped by Saten Ruiko and started doing it again, said angrily, "Can't you be more serious?"

"I'm serious, otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here with you..." Xia Ran didn't even raise her eyelids, "It's just that you don't talk about business, and the topic you just talked about is what I can do. Woolen cloth?"

"this……"

Misaka Mikoto was suddenly speechless.

It seems that what this person said is right. She was just dissatisfied that Mugino Shenli also came over, so she brought up that topic, and then it turned into a tit-for-tat confrontation between them. With Saiko caught in the middle, she could only try to ease the atmosphere. , and finally this person will seize the opportunity to hit a critical blow.

She said angrily: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it anymore, let the past go by, don't mention it in the future... Well, let me ask you, do you know why we called you out? For what?"

"You know, the fantasy about the hand, right?" Xia Ran nodded and did not choose to pass on this matter, and Saten Ruizi said it from the beginning.

"Okay, let me tell you directly. In recent times, the situation of people with abilities using imaginary hands to commit crimes has become more and more serious, but no matter how hard Kuroko and the others pursue, they still can't find any useful clues..."

The brown-haired girl tried her best to calm down, put aside what had just happened, and focus on the main business.

"Furthermore, a week ago, people with abilities who had used the Fantasy Controller fell into coma one after another, and they have not yet awakened, so we have no way to get relevant clues from them..."

"That's it..."

Xia Ran nodded and glanced at Zuo Tianleizi again.

It seems that it was really caused by the butterfly effect caused by what he did. After all, if his original fate was to be followed, Saten Ruiko should have fallen into a coma at this time due to the use of the Fantasy Gauntlet.

Well, no, at this time, the incident of Fantasy Controller should actually have been resolved long ago, and it would not be delayed until now.

It seems that Harusi Kiyama has not exposed the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the clues to the Fantasy Controller are still well hidden. Although users have fallen into coma one after another, the Fantasy Controller network has not lost control. This is a matter of course. It was originally Misaka Mikoto. After finding out what happened to Kiyama Chunsheng, he went to find him and defeated him.

The defeat of Harusi Kiyama led to the release of the Fantasy Beast. Before that, the operation of the Fantasy Controller Network was still controllable as a whole. The woman was planning to build a local area network by herself and tried to use the Fantasy Controller Network to replace the tree diagram designer to perform some calculations. Just saving his former students.

"So, are you someone who has used Fantasy Controller?" Misaka Mikoto stared at him closely and asked directly.

She had had such doubts for a long time.

Most of the people who use Fantasy Controllers are those with incompetence or low abilities. In order to activate their own abilities or improve their ability levels, they used Fantasy Controllers in despair after hard training and study to no avail.

There are people with LV0 incompetencies who have successfully triggered their own abilities. Before that, even the machine could not observe the phenomenon of abilities, and it was impossible to determine the type of their abilities...

There are also people with low abilities at Level 1 who suddenly become people with strong abilities at Level 3. In fantasy novels, this means that they have crossed two major realms in a row. Their ability was just barely able to bend a spoon, but it is basically not helpful in daily life. Inflated to the point of daring to rob a bank...

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto has always had some doubts about whether this person is a person with great ability above LV4, and his own ability level is even close to LV5, but he has not broken through yet. Finally, with the help of the increase of Fantasy Controller, he suddenly soared to this level. degree?

This may explain why he has never been famous before and is not included in the official list of superpowers.

But the strength of the displayed ability is so strong that it is no longer even the normal strength of LV5... Maybe it is the performance that has been strengthened and amplified by the Fantasy Master?

At the same time, after Misaka Mikoto asked this question, even Mugino Shenri narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she did not receive the relevant commission, as an ANBU organization in Academy City, she naturally knew someone during this period. some urban legends.

So naturally at this time, the same doubts as Misaka Mikoto arose.

"I have never used this thing, nor have I been exposed to it..." the magician said calmly, "Have you forgotten? I only came to Academy City on the night of summer vacation, and I had never been to this city before. OK?"

"Huh? Oh... It seems like this, I forgot..." The brown-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little disappointed.

"Then you've never come into contact with Fantasy Controllers?"

"No."

"Hey, I thought you knew something, and I wanted to ask you to find out... Now it seems there is no use at all..." The brown-haired girl suddenly became listless, "You don't know about Fantasy Controllers either?" What is it? I was thinking about Kuroko and Uiharu who have been so busy recently and wanted to help them."

"Fantasy Controller is just a piece of audio. Its true identity is a program that uses the human brain as a calculator. According to the principle of "sympathy", it can stimulate the five senses through sound to interfere with the brain, forcibly changing the user's brain waves, allowing the user to Everyone has the same brain wave in their brain waves. "

Xia Ran's faint voice sounded.

"The brains of users with the same brainwaves seem to have the same frequency, and will invisibly build a brainwave network through the AIM diffusion field, just like connecting several computers in parallel. The computing power can be improved, this is the principle that it can improve the ability level..."

"..."

"..."

All was quiet.

"D-Didn't you say that you have never been in contact with Fantasy Master?"

After a while, Misaka Mikoto reacted with a mix of embarrassment and anger. She felt that this person was simply playing tricks on her.

"Just because I haven't been exposed to it doesn't mean I don't know about it. These are obviously two different things. You have to distinguish them clearly..." The magician followed the instructions with sincerity and sincerity.

"So, do you also know the mastermind behind this matter?" The brown-haired girl was so angry that her chest heaved rapidly.

"Well, I'm actually not very clear about this...but I have a little bit of information."

Xia Ran said:

"As far as I know, the mastermind behind the scenes is actually a woman, an expert in brain physiology who specializes in AIM diffusion force field research. She was originally a researcher at the Pediatric Ability Teaching Materials Development Institute of the Advanced Education Bureau. She has a teacher qualification certificate and usually wears shirts, short skirts and Black stockings, height 1.7 meters, birthday is August 9th..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone looked embarrassed.

After a while, Saten Ruizi asked carefully and tentatively: "Senior, how about you just read her name?"
