Chapter 354 Trouble Is Coming

The Fantasy Controller Incident can be said to be a by-product of the intensified conflicts between all the incompetent people in Academy City, the strict hierarchy here, and the unfair fate they faced, affecting tens of thousands of people. Ordinary students even almost caused more serious casualties, and many people permanently lost the opportunity to awaken their superpowers due to the sequelae of this incident, although the cause seemed to be a desperate female teacher who was trying to save herself. An extreme plan adopted by his own students, but ultimately, it is the overly one-sided hierarchy of the entire Academy City that forces a large number of lvevl0s to embark on the wrong path.

Although we are quite sorry for such an incident, we have neither the intention nor the ability to change the hierarchical system that Academy City has implemented so far. Well, in fact, Pandora creatively proposed to kill Aleister and rule here to formulate its own rules. System suggestions, but to be honest, I don’t think the military regulations formulated by Pandora are very humane...

Oh, I digress.

What I want to say is that the existence of a system must have a reason for its existence. Although the hierarchy of Academy City seems ruthless, it is also the most powerful force that a force with only 2.3 million people can fight against such a behemoth as the entire magic side. Guarantee, under this premise, we don’t want to change too much.

And more importantly, due to the unreliability of the so-called "plot", it is still unknown whether the Fantasy Hand incident will eventually break out completely...

The bright sunshine shines into the room through the large glass windows, filling the whole room with a warm atmosphere. The smooth porcelain tea cup in front of her reflects the girl's slightly nervous face. Saten Ruiko is sitting alone on the sofa. , unconsciously torturing the dried teacup in his hand.

Today is the first day that she participated in the superpower improvement experiment as a "power user". Although she was only a level 0, she still tried her best to prepare before coming over. Of course, it can only be said that she has adjusted well. It's just a mentality. Even my friends can't provide me with much help in this regard. After all, even the "railgun" of Changpantai cannot know that superpower research on an incompetent person should be What kind of process.

It was indeed a very strange process - but as an incompetent person who had never cooperated with similar research work, Saten Ruiko could not yet realize that the experiment she had just experienced was any different from a regular research institute. She just followed the expression on her face. The "director" who looked very serious and looked like a soldier even though he was wearing a researcher's white robe was told to lie down in a weird, egg-like cockpit and then relax as much as possible. If there was anything that made Saten What surprised Ruizi was that the lid of the cockpit was inlaid with sparkling transparent crystals. According to the researchers, these crystals are "energy sources" that can stimulate people's potential, and they can effectively strengthen their nerves. System, but those theories are really complicated. After listening to Saten Ruiko for less than three minutes, she... fell asleep...

"I don't know what to do next..."

Saten Ruiko muttered to herself, feeling a little nervous and a little expectant.

After coming out of the cockpit filled with crystals, the busy researchers seemed to have made some big discovery. They all gathered around a strange-looking machine, but left themselves alone. Saten Ruiko just I went over to take a look and started to sigh that this is indeed a research institution that has mastered advanced technology. Even I didn't recognize any of the various symbols used to express experimental results...

Then the serious man who was respectfully called "Director" by other researchers asked himself to go to this lounge to wait for the results. During the whole process, Saten Ruiko always felt like he was in a fog.

It seems...nothing has changed...

The girl who was a little worried raised her hands slightly and tried hard to imagine how she would use her superpowers, but unfortunately, nothing happened except her face turning red from holding back.

At the same time, in another room just across the wall from the lounge where Saten Ruiko was, the "masterminds" were confused.

"no response?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Xiling technician who reported the situation in front of us said expressionlessly. For such a Xiling technician who does not have a very high sense of self-level, no matter what kind of experimental subject it is, what kind of experimental results it is. , are just part of the research, so even though an unexpected situation occurred, the other party did not show any unnecessary expressions, "The test subject has undergone the radiation of the mother's nest crystal, DNA analysis and regeneration, mental resonance algorithm and The false brain replacement recently developed by Lord Tavel has yet to produce any awakening of powers.”

"Will the Brood Crystal ever fail?"

I felt that such a thing was incredible, so I turned to the little girl aside. As a pioneer who had developed this technology more than 700,000 years ago, Viska definitely had the most say on this issue.

"Vesca, is there a time when the radiation from the Brood Crystal doesn't work?"

But the expression on Viska's face was not much more relieved than mine. She frowned slightly, and even the vertical pupils in her eyes shrank tightly into a thin line.

"The Brood Crystal is the materialized form formed by the condensation of the Xiling host's mental power and a huge amount of information. The energy it contains has an irreversible impact on any creature with a nervous system and a way of expressing itself, and it has an inexcusable impact on carbon-based creatures. The impact is particularly obvious. Their fragile physical structure determines the extreme sensitivity of their nervous system to external stimuli. Unless the mental power of the target exposed to radiation is strong enough to compete with the information sea of ​​the Xiling host, under normal circumstances, Even some human 'demigods' in high-demon worlds are not completely immune to radiation energy. It is impossible for an ordinary human being to be immune to the influence of crystals."

"In short, it is theoretically impossible for Saten Ruiko not to produce some kind of 'mutation'?" After listening to Huesca's bombardment of a lot of professional terms in a fog, I finally roughly clarified the other party's point of view. mean.

Viska glanced at me quietly, then turned away: "Brother has a very strong generalization ability."

You just have to say that my ability to understand is limited, and we all know that.

"Go on." Seeing that the researcher in front of me hadn't finished his report, I shook my head to shake myself out of the bad mood of being subtly despised by my sister. "There should be any other discoveries, right?"

"Yes, we conducted a series of follow-up observations on the experimental subject named Saten Ruiko, and found that she did not undergo any mutations after experiencing the initial radiation of the Brood Crystal, and her mental power was within an observable range. It has produced a huge increase, even reaching the level of a high-level apostle at the peak, but such a powerful spiritual power seems to be completely impossible to call upon. We tried to control these energies by simulating the souls of experimental subjects, but they showed abnormal extremes. Inertia, unexplained.”

"In other words, the problem lies in the last step," I understood better this time, "Saten Ruiko's mental power has evolved, but she can't transform those mental powers into superpowers that can be manifested?"

"Yes."

This situation is truly unprecedented.

Regardless of whether there is a concept of superpowers, even if it is just an ordinary person, if his mental power increases significantly, there will definitely be some different changes, such as extreme computing power, instant memory, sixth sense and the like, this is even It has nothing to do with supernatural powers, but is just the attribute of mental power itself. But Saten Ruiko...

After possessing super powerful mental power, he is still a level 0?

If this is fate, it's so unfair! !

"We will continue to study this phenomenon. For us, such a rare situation is of great research value."

Seeing the unsightly expression on my face, the Xiling scientist in front of me didn't know the reason, but he immediately made such a guarantee.

"Well," I waved my hand casually, indicating that the other party could leave, "continue the research, but remember to ensure the safety of Saten Ruiko first, and you can give up the experiment if necessary."

It's such a bad situation. Is it possible that it's really like what Qianqian said, and it turns into an attempt to do good things...

"I'll go over and take a look."

After thinking about it, I still felt a little uneasy. After saying these words, I got up and walked to the lounge next to me.

In the lounge, Saten Ruiko was still waiting quietly. When she saw me appearing, she immediately stood up and bowed in a slight panic: "Director... Director!"

"Don't mention this painful title," I looked embarrassed and immediately waved my hands, "How do you feel now?"

"Feeling?" Saten Ruiko said confused, "It seems there is no change."

No change...that's weird!

Through the technical information provided by Viska and the optimization of Tavel, the efficiency of the Brood Crystal Radiation Device has been increased several times. Therefore, although it is only a few hours of radiation, Saten Ruiko's mental power has already produced a huge impact. Evolution, although it is not as talented as Qianqian and her sister, and she is lucky enough to be able to receive radiation next to the Xiling mother machine, but based on the strength of her mental power, Saten Ruiko now wants to go to Azeroth to learn magic. It is estimated that nothing will happen to Gianna, but this is the strange thing. Although the superhuman mental power is sensed from the other party, those powers are like a pool of stagnant water, not to mention the ability to induce, and there is not even normal fluctuations.

This is impossible. If I remember correctly, even with a low-level catalytic method like Phantasm Controller, Saten Ruiko developed level 1 superpowers, the fourth wave. So under the illumination of the Brood Crystal, how could she? Instead, he turned into the legendary Zero Saten-san?

Damn it, let those scientists have a headache!

"Leizi," I waved to her to sit down, and then sat down opposite her, "Is it okay to call her that way?"

"Of course!" The girl in front of him immediately replied with a smile. She was indeed a very friendly character.

"Why do you want to gain power?"

My question made Saten Ruiko stunned for a moment. She might have originally thought that I came here to ask about the previous experiment, but she didn't expect that the "director" in front of her was actually here for psychological counseling.

"Yes, why do you want to gain power..." Saten Ruiko was silent for a moment, and then slowly answered, "Because, I don't want to always stand behind everyone, be protected by everyone, and then gradually be left behind, and eventually become I’m alone, and I’m afraid of that feeling, so I thought, if I was also an esper, even if I was only level 1, I could stand together with everyone—isn’t this childish idea?”

"No," I shook my head decisively, "You are much better than the losers I have!"

If a certain black super uncle had half the consciousness you have, I wouldn’t have to rescue those imperial soldiers from being chased and intercepted by the urban management brigade every now and then! ! !

In order not to be a burden to my friends and to be able to be with everyone, if I simply want to become a capable person, I am afraid that my pursuit of power is zero, right?

"Excuse me." Seeing my silence, Saten Ruizi finally felt something. "Did I..." during the test just now?

"Don't worry, everything goes well. Those emperor...research madmen are guys who can train paramecia into strong trees. Well, just pretend you didn't hear this metaphor. It's you yourself. As far as I know, Saten Ruiko is An optimistic girl who is always full of energy, right? It’s not your style to be so worried right now.”

Hearing my words, Saten Ruizi finally smiled brightly, and then a voice suddenly rang in my head: "Congratulations to player Chen Damumu for leveling up Loli's love talent! Daddy Aura and Big Brother Aura skill points Improvement! New title - Girl Killer obtained, rewarded with a double experience card!"

"boom!"

A huge "well" suddenly appeared on my forehead.

"Lin Xue! When did you come here, you damn girl!?"

Yes, the extremely familiar fluctuations in the spiritual connection, as well as the dangerous aura absorbed in every sweat pore of the body after the natural enemy approaches, the facts have proved that——

"excuse me!"

With such a sound, the door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside, and then Lin Xue, wearing a white researcher's robe, walked in with gentle steps, and came to me with a dumbfounded expression, politely He bent down, lowered his head, and handed over the documents. His tone was softer than ever: "Director, this is the experimental data that has been compiled."

There is a line of big words written in Xiling script on the cover: "There is a crack of thunder, and the prophet appears on the scene - if you don't cooperate, just wait for this lady's endless side kicks!"

I:"……"

Seeing a researcher who seemed to have a higher rank than the "Director" appeared, Saten Ruiko stood up in a panic and introduced herself loudly: "You... hello, I am Saten Ruiko who is participating in the experiment. This is my first time. When we meet, please take good care of me!"

Lin Xue turned around, her elegant young lady's temperament shining infinitely, and nodded slightly at the other party: "Are you Saten-san? You are a participant in the latest 'Human Completion Plan - the 22nd Revised Edition', right? Have you seen her before?" I have your information, I am the chief researcher of this institute, Lin Xue, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Hey Hey hey! How did you come up with that subtle project name, and could you take it back if you could?

Facing the gentle smile of the elder sister in front of her, Saten Ruiko felt random strange thoughts flowing through her mind, and finally summed them up into one sentence: What a strange place...

After sending a researcher to drive Saten Ruiko back to school, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. The sudden appearance of Lin Xue really made me break out in a cold sweat.

"Girl, I haven't said anything yet, why are you here?"

"Girl, you can call her whatever you want..." Lin Xue mumbled vaguely, then crossed her arms and looked contemptuously, "Of course I heard from a certain otaku loli who was full of resentment and complained about it every day that a certain harem man had traveled through time. In a world full of innocent girls, in order to prevent such tragic things from happening, this great prophet of justice naturally worked tirelessly to break the void to monitor this dangerous guy like you. In the end, he found out that you were deceiving a poor man in a secret room by unfair means. Girls in their prime, phew, luckily I arrived in time, um, it’s time for the cast to appear.”

"Where did you find this vulgar plot..."

"Okay, okay, don't look like that." Lin Xue, who looked like a well-educated and knowledgeable young lady just a few minutes ago, now showed her true colors and threw herself onto the sofa with a roar. "I just came here to play with you, a piece of wood, and I want to tell you something by the way."

"What's going on?" I suddenly became alert. Lin Xue arrived. Is a huge trouble really going to happen?

"Hey! I told you that I came to play with you first, and then I told you something by the way." Lin Xue suddenly stood up half of his body, and moved his face angrily, "How can you do this? Can't you be more insensitive?"

How should I put it, although she has a bad personality, this girl is actually kind of cute when she loses her temper like this - could it be that I really lack rest these days?

"Okay, okay, I will lead you crazy in this place, but before that, you should tell me about it first, otherwise I will not be worried."

Lin Xue still looked angry, leaned back on the sofa, and said with a groan: "I'm just telling you, don't believe the plot."

"Of course I know this. I have already discovered this problem when we were in the world of Azeroth...Girl, what did you see?"

Just halfway through speaking, I suddenly remembered that Lin Xue was also with us in the world of Azeroth. The "plot" issue was not worth her coming in person. In other words, she "saw" something extraordinary. s things!

"You can't see clearly, but there is a huge distortion in this world," Lin Xue said. Only then did I see a trace of fatigue hidden deep on the other person's face, "It is something that does not belong here originally, but the whole world From the beginning to the end, there was no erosion by the abyss. Almost all the 'scripts' that were supposed to happen in this world were changed, and then pointed to the 'foreign object'. If not handled well, a large number of deaths would occur, and I I have seen the end of the world no less than three times. In order to see these things clearly, I can only come here in person. Besides... Mu Mu, it seems that you will have to work hard."
