Chapter 351 Research Institute and Explosion
I originally thought that the enthusiasm of Qian Qian's whim had gradually cooled down after completing the feat of "Love without Borders", but now it seems that I was still too naive...
After just less than twenty-four hours of stability, my ever-energetic girlfriend came up with a very creative new idea and put it into action in the next three days: she put " Zongcheng Research Institute" bought it.
By the time I reacted, my identity had become the director of an unknown research institute.
What a nonsense divine development this is, what a ridiculous setting this is!
Well, I know that our source of funds is the financial system of the entire human world. I know that in this world far away from the earth, we can do some crazy and bold things without leaving at any time, but it’s troublesome. Wonderful vitality girl, please at least let your brain nerves move one by one before taking action! ? What do you plan to do with buying such a big house?
"Of course it's because I feel a sense of accomplishment!"
Faced with my troubled expression, he answered with a slight smile.
"Our family suddenly has such a big house, which is bigger than three bedrooms and one living room! But Arjun, you are so slow. You didn't realize that I bought this place until now?"
I can't imagine at all what kind of brutal battle it took for the normal thinking process in this girl Qian Qian's head to be distorted to this point.
At this time, the person in charge of mediating is always Sister’s gentle voice with five plus healing points: “Well, don’t be angry, Jun, he is idle anyway, we can’t just wait here for the star ring fragments to crash down. Right? It’s not easy to find such an interesting world, so it’s good for Qianqian to have something to do.”
The subtext is that if Qianqian has nothing to do, will it cause greater trouble? I completely agree with this point. God knows how many weird ideas this girl can come up with. Compared with those unpredictable whimsical ideas, buying a research institute can be regarded as the best situation...
"Huh, okay," anyway, everything has become a fait accompli. With the help of Huesca who followed the troublemaker, this research institute that was originally prepared to be sold to the outside world has been put under Qianqian's name. It makes no sense for me to say it again, " Just buy it, it won’t cost you a penny anyway, so what are you going to do with this research institute?”
"I have no idea."
Qian Qian's answer was crisp and clear.
I knew it would be like this!
This girl really made the decision on a whim!
"Then at least you have to tell me the name of this institute? Don't tell me that you can complete the registration of a new facility without even naming it!"
"Xiling Research Institute, it says on the sign at the door."
Have you really not done any form of thinking? ?
"Okay, baby, you win." In the end, faced with Qianqian's gifted thinking mode, I reluctantly raised my hands and surrendered, "You can play whatever you want, just remember not to make too much noise. , even if Pandora can handle everything from the Internet, if we make too much noise, it will attract the attention of people here."
Qian Qian made a gesture indicating that everything was OK: "Don't worry, there is still sister watching, isn't it? By the way, Ajun, are you going out?"
"Oh, I'm going out for a walk. To be honest, I'm a little curious about this place called the paradise for people with supernatural powers."
With an inexplicable pain in my balls, I walked out of the place that had been named under my name, and looked back at the sign at the door with the words "Xiling Research Institute" written in big words, which was obviously newly placed... More Spartan.
A research institute that suddenly appeared without any main research direction. The identity of its investors is also full of various complaints. More importantly, as a research facility, it does not even employ a single staff member, even in the academy. No matter how perfect the data is recorded in the city's computers, some people will still doubt it, right?
Especially in this Academy City, there is a "human" that can almost be described as a monster. I can completely believe that "it" has noticed our arrival, but because of curiosity or other reasons, "it" chose Wait and see.
That girl Qianqian can really destroy my precious vacation...
However, I am not completely uninterested in Qianqian's whim actions. According to Lin Xue's speculation, the fragments of the star ring that are about to hit this world do not necessarily appear when. The nearest may be half a month later, and the farthest It may take several months. With such a long "vacation", it seems good to find something interesting to do.
With these random thoughts running through my mind, I wandered around this city that was extremely mysterious in the eyes of outsiders. According to general theory, this Academy City has technology that is at least twenty years ahead of the outside world. According to the civilization development model, at the current level of human civilization, the technological gap of twenty to thirty years is not enough to bring about sufficiently obvious changes in human life forms. Therefore, walking on the clean streets here, I just feel We just arrived in a relatively modern metropolis. Oh, of course, we have to rule out those ubiquitous cleaning robots and other suspicious barrels...
It feels like I have really arrived in a young city.
I couldn't help but feel this way.
Eighty percent of the population of Academy City are students. This also means that when you walk on the streets, most of the people you see are young boys and girls like this. Over time, you will naturally have the feeling that "this city is really..." I have this weird feeling of "very young", and walking in the city, I can feel the obscure and abnormal energy flows around me at any time. Some of them are things that a few people with superpowers unconsciously emit, and many more. They should all be part of the city itself.
That "human" was indeed a genius.
"Brother Jun, when can I go out?"
Alaya's voice suddenly rang in my mind, causing me to almost hit a street light. But luckily, before I hit the street light, I was knocked down by a beverage can on the ground that was not discovered by the cleaning robot in time.
This is not good at all! In terms of shame, there shouldn't be any difference between the two things, right? !
"Brother Jun, I'm sorry..."
"……It doesn't matter."
"Unfortunately!"
The almost daily conversation with a certain boy was suddenly interrupted by a lament not far away. Looking out, what came into view was an ordinary young man wearing a white T-shirt and shorts with a haircut like a hedgehog.
On the ground not far in front of the boy, there was a flip phone that had been broken into two parts. You could guess who its original owner was without any inference.
"Brother Jun, that person is so unlucky. He just took out his cell phone to read text messages, but he dropped it on the ground. When he stepped forward to pick it up, he lost his balance and stepped on the phone. This man doesn't know how to do it. Are you making Mistress Chen Qian angry?"
"No, there is a kind of creature in this world. It can live in misfortune without the curse of my sister. Moreover, it can continue to move forward bravely in this misfortune, challenge more and richer ways of misfortune, and finally A legendary existence who has received the honorary title of the legendary God of Unlucky Ones!”
"I always feel that the description just given by Brother Jun is full of content that Alaya cannot understand but has to agree with..."
Kamijou Touma, at this moment, the boy in front of me has already matched the information stored in my mind. This bad guy with a magical right hand, known as the king of the harem and the emperor of tragedy in the new era, is really shocking. deep impression.
I guess onee-sama will be seriously interested in this guy. An unlucky guy who doesn't need a curse at all, just like being born with a beacon of doom. What a magical guy!
Well, the second person who may be interested in him is probably Viska. As a Xiling apostle who has developed a special interference system for supernatural powers, that little girl will most likely be a natural phantom killer in Kamijou's children's shoes. Her interest was overwhelming, and considering Huesca's terrifying personality, it was probably reasonable for her to slice him into pieces for study.
Thinking about it this way, is the other party really a tragedy among tragedies?
"Excuse me..." I couldn't help but immersed myself in non-stop complaints about a certain guy who was picking up girls. It wasn't until someone suddenly said hello in my ear that I suddenly reacted and turned around. What I saw was a quilt. The face of an ordinary young man shrouded in bad luck said, "Looking at the way you suddenly stood on the side of the road, stunned, do you need help?"
You are so unlucky, yet you are such a rotten good person?
He is really...a good young man worthy of admiration!
Although he is the guy with the halo of the protagonist, in my opinion, under normal circumstances it is best not to get too close to such a natural beacon of doom. When even my sister’s abilities are misfired, I really can’t. I was sure that I wouldn't be dragged into trouble by the unlucky aura around him. After casually thanking him, I left the dangerous area around him.
"Where...are you going next?"
Looking around at the unfamiliar streets, I muttered to myself. Although there was information from Bubble, the real development of this world cannot be inferred based on the "plot" alone. When I don't understand the situation, the science side and the magic side Even if you want to get involved in those messy but interesting things, you have absolutely no way of getting involved. It seems like there is nothing better to do now besides wandering around.
"Saten-san, I heard that yesterday morning..."
While wandering around, a name mentioned by a voice from behind suddenly made my steps stop. Saten Ruiko?
Looking back, I saw that the black-haired girl I had met a few days ago was indeed walking towards me. At this time, the girl obviously noticed my presence. With a slightly surprised expression, she waved in a friendly way. Wave.
Next to her was a little girl wearing a garland-like ornament on her head and also wearing a sailor suit.
When we met for the first time, I just thought that the other person was a stranger whom I met by chance on the roadside, but after reading the information sent by Pao Pao... well, mainly I saw the little guy's personal and subjective feelings towards each character. After commenting, I also had a little bit of admiration for this girl who is always optimistic and strong even though she is always level 0. There is a saying that there are two kinds of real strong people. One is the hero who wins after countless failures. The other type is a warrior who can still go on with a smile after countless failures. Although it is a bit unflattering to use such an adjective on a girl, this girl named Saten Ruiko is really an amazing person. Someone who has to be admired.
Of course, there's also a little bit of empathy - the injustices in the world are really everywhere.
"Yo!"
After the other party approached, I waved and greeted him brightly.
"What a rude way to greet someone..."
Following Saten Ruiko, the flowerpot girl who looked like Uiharu Kouri murmured something very quietly.
Although your voice was so low that even Saten Ruiko couldn't hear you next to you, I heard you clearly, you bastard!
"Hello, we meet again."
Completely unaware of what the close friend next to me had just said, Saten Ruiko bowed slightly towards me and said politely.
"Saten-san, this is..."
The flower pot next to it... let's call it a flower pot, sounded with some doubts.
"Well, we met near the small park a few days ago. I mentioned it to you."
"Hello," I stretched out my hand to the other person, "Chen Jun, um... works in a nearby research institute."
"First...first time we meet!" Uiharu Shili jumped like a frightened rabbit, and then quickly touched my hand, "I am Saten-san's friend..."
By the way, why do you feel that you have been regarded as some kind of dangerous man who talks to girls casually and has evil intentions?
"Uiharu Shiri, right?" By some strange coincidence, I said the name before the other person finished speaking, and then the girl opposite immediately exclaimed: "Why do you know my name?"
"This, this..." Brain cells were burning rapidly, "Ah, by the way, I work in a nearby research institute. We have some information on people with abilities there, and you are among them."
"Really, that's it." Uiharu Shiri breathed a sigh of relief, seeming to have believed in my identity as a "researcher". Didn't she believe it just now?
Since we were not very acquainted, we were just "acquaintances", so we chatted for a while and prepared to say goodbye to each other. However, it seems that we had a chance encounter with the unlucky god named Kamijou Touma not long ago. I also had some subtle bad luck. In a store less than ten meters away from us, an explosion came out without warning.
"boom!"
Accompanied by such a loud noise, the glass showcase instantly shattered under the strong impact, and splashed out like fireworks. Then came the diffuse smoke and the pungent burnt smell in the air. The crowd was silent for a second, Then screams from all ranges filled half the street.
The glass door of the store was roughly pushed open from the inside, and the embarrassed customers stumbled out one after another. The blood stains were scattered on the smooth floor, which was particularly eye-catching. At the same time, there was a loud noise in the store. A belated riot warning bell.
"...This is Uiharu Shiori. There was an explosion on the shopping street. Well, the location is..."
At the same time as the explosion occurred, Uiharu Koji, who was on the side as the disciplinary committee member, quickly contacted the security team. At this time, the girl completely lost the timid and weak feeling at the beginning. She was so resolute and calm that I almost thought she was Someone was transported through time, and on the other side, Saten Ruiko, whose identity was just an ordinary student without abilities, was first stunned by the explosion, and then suddenly pointed at the door of the store where smoke was coming out and exclaimed: "Ah! That girl..."
At the entrance of the store where the explosion occurred, a girl who looked like she was a waiter in the store was struggling to hold on to the door frame and walked out. But before she took two steps, she slowly fell forward - behind her At the heart, there was a broken metal frame inserted, which seemed to be part of the shelf.
Such words flashed across my mind at the sudden misfortune, and then I quickly mentally connected to Pandora: "Immediately prepare a human life support warehouse and transfer several carbon-based life experts from Shadow City. Someone is injured - no need for the army! Don’t go up to the bombing phalanx, put away the missile silos!”
Damn it, could it be that the biggest crisis on this planet is not the fragments of the star ring or the human civil war, but a passionate lolita who is ready to conquer the world at any time?
Just after I ordered Pandora to prepare rescue measures and seemingly prevented a huge war that would exterminate mankind, I felt a gust of wind beside me, and Saten Ruiko ran out.
"She's still breathing!"
The black-haired girl quickly ran to the waitress who collapsed at the door of the store, and then screamed in surprise. However, since she didn't have any first aid skills, she could only watch anxiously and kept looking for help. Sweeping around - it's a pity that everyone is avoiding this place at this time, and the metal fragments behind the girl's back have obviously stabbed her heart. Even if she is still breathing, no one thinks that there is a possibility of saving her. .
"Saten-kun! It's dangerous there!" As a discipline committee member, Uiharu Shiri, who has a certain knowledge of emergencies, immediately shouted anxiously to the opposite side, "There is a possibility of a secondary explosion in the electrical system in the store!"
Uiharu plays the role of Prophecy Emperor - As soon as she finished speaking, I clearly felt that another energy explosion was brewing in the smoke-filled store. When the first explosion occurred, I was not focused there. But this time, I clearly felt the abnormal energy flow.
Almost at the next second, a faint red light flashed behind the store window, and the muffled sound of the explosion had already begun to sound the prelude - unfortunately, Sajia pinched him to death just after the prelude.
"Energy Freeze!"
The explosion that had already occurred disappeared like an illusion, the dancing flames and the piercing sirens stopped abruptly at the same time, and even the crackling sounds of various items exploding constantly coming from the store became quiet, except for the ones that still kept popping up. Except for the thick smoke, everything has become a thing of the past.
Uiharu Shiri turned her eyes in surprise, and I could only make up something embarrassing: "This... my ability can stop energy changes and so on... ah, haha, hahaha..."
