Chapter 374 The Fantasy Master Breaks Out

The weekend time that comes after intense study is something worth looking forward to for every student who is still in school.

The location was a lakeside park that was the most popular in the summer. Several girls were hiding in the shade of the trees and enjoying the coolness brought by the ice cream.

"Huh... Eating ice cream under the shade of the trees in the park on a hot summer afternoon, the greatest happiness in life is nothing more than this!!"

After stuffing the half-melted ice cream into his mouth in two or three mouthfuls, a girl with long black hair and a cherry blossom hair ornament said in a rather exaggerated tone, while pushing the remaining empty ice cream bucket away. Throw it in a trash can twenty meters away.

"Striker's Mark!"

"Clang!"

Accurate hit!

"Saten-kun...your abilities are really full of all kinds of weird things..."

The corners of Shirai Kuroko's mouth twitched slightly, then he sighed and said.

"If you add various special attributes to the target, the scope of application is indeed quite wide... But at least I hope you won't use your abilities indiscriminately in front of me as the disciplinary committee member, okay?"

"Ha...I'm sorry, sorry..." Saten Ruiko scratched her hair belatedly, "Because the director brother said that my abilities have improved too quickly, so they are a bit unstable. In daily life, I can best do it without affecting others. It’s great that I can use them often, and it’s become a habit…”

"Oh, that's right." Hearing that it was such a special situation, Shirai Kuroko could only nod. Although Academy City has regulations that do not allow students to use their abilities at will, in fact, as long as it does not cause too much trouble, , even the disciplinary committee and the security team turned a blind eye to him, but as soon as Shirai Kuroko nodded, he suddenly realized something, turned his face and scanned Saten Ruiko with a rather strange look, "So Long—brother? Have you finally succeeded in being conquered by that guy who has a group of sisters, and have you become one of the sisters?"

"Haha?" Saten Ruiko was stunned at first, and then immediately applied the hand sword attack she learned from someone, and hit the Lily girl in front of her on the head, "What are you talking about! He is just an older brother! And you already have a sister Qianqian, right?"

While Saten and Shirai were busy fighting, Misaka Mikoto, who had been thinking about something next to her, suddenly spoke slowly: "But speaking of it, although I thought he was a conspirator at first, now it seems that he is still a good person. Woolen cloth."

Because Shirai Kuroko's "sisters" just made her think of something, Misaka Mikoto had a lot of thoughts in her heart at the moment.

As expected, the experiment was stopped, and the way it was stopped was quite suspicious: almost overnight, all plans related to "absolute ability users" were stopped, and many related research institutions were disbanded overnight, and the sisters were immediately It was handed over to the "Xiling Research Institute". This series of changes all illustrate one thing. The "Absolute Abilities Project" was forcibly destroyed under the frontal impact of some powerful external force. The upper echelons of Academy City Without even a token resistance, relevant things were handed over in a hurry, including the custody of the "sisters".

The person who caused all of this is undoubtedly the "Xiling Research Institute". To be more precise, it should be the "director" I met recently, a man who I can't see through at all.

All his actions are invisible to him, it's almost like he's playing a game, but the only good thing is that the other person is a good person.

Misaka Mikoto thought of yesterday when she went to the research institute to visit her sisters. That visit completely dispelled her doubts, even though it was nominally a research institute engaged in ability development experiments (of course there were tons of other speechless things... "Research Scope"), but it seems that except for the project that Saten Ruiko participated in, that institute did not conduct any other research. The sisters lived there quite easily, and a certain "Uncle Director" A few researchers were even organized to give them music lessons with great interest... Well, although that was a bit speechless, at least the sisters were well taken care of.

He was not involved in a new experiment as he expected.

"sister?"

"sister……"

"Onee-sama!!" A sudden shout in her ears made Misaka Mikoto quickly come to her senses, and then she felt a petite body suddenly hanging on her body, followed by Shirai Kuroko's exaggerated exclamation, "Why did onee-sama suddenly fall into such a weird trance after mentioning the uncle of the director!? Did the worst thing finally happen? Could it be that the challenge Kuroko is about to face is such a mature and mysterious man who came out halfway? Could it be that Sister-sama has been...ah oh..."

Accompanied by the sudden burst of dazzling electric light, the object a named Shirai Kuroko was already covered in smoke and slowly slid from the bench to the ground.

"This guy with no limits to his bt..."

Misaka Mikoto's forehead was still flashing with uncertain electric light, and her face was flushed with anger or Shirai Kuroko's explosive remarks. She clenched her fists tightly, lowered her head and was shaking all over. She didn't know whether it was because of anger or because of it. He planned to give Kuroko Shirai, who was cramping on the ground, another powerful electric shock.

"Well, Shirai-san's vitality is really tenacious."

Looking at Shirai Kuroko who was paralyzed by electric shock as usual, Uiharu Kouri with a wreath on her head smiled awkwardly, but had no intention of coming forward to help. It was obvious that everyone could already do this for such a situation. Without hesitation, the crowd calmly watched.

"By the way, Uiharu, has the Fantasy Controller incident been resolved? I remember that the Discipline Committee members should still be very busy at this time, right?"

Saten Ruiko suddenly remembered something that gave Shirai and Uiharu a headache a few days ago, and couldn't help but asked curiously - Speaking of which, she almost had the idea of ​​​​looking for a fantasy master to improve her abilities. Fortunately, I met those kind-hearted "saviors from another dimension" in time, and now I still have a dreamlike feeling of unreality.

"As for the Fantasy Controller incident," Uiharu Shiuri immediately showed a serious expression when talking about work, "Although the culprit behind the scenes has not yet been found, it has calmed down a lot recently, and after confirming that the essence of the Fantasy Controller is an audio file We have also blocked and tracked its spread through computer networks, so the work has made great progress..."

"It is precisely because of this that Uiharu and I were able to enjoy this rare holiday after working overtime to complete the work of the Discipline Committee, and then go on a date with my sister, uh, even though it was a discounted date..."

Shirai Kuroko, who was resurrected with full health and full health, puffed out his chest, once again fell into some weird and inexplicable delusional state that made the hair on Misaka Mikoto's body stand on end.

Seeing that her troublesome schoolgirl began to exude the extremely dangerous lily scent in all directions, the girl with short brown hair couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "This guy... Fortunately, I had the foresight to call Uiharu and Saten and the others. Who knows what bad plans she has in store."

The girls who were relaxing and taking a nap at this time had no idea that the next day, a catastrophic incident would occur that affected tens of thousands of students, and even brought them into contact with the darkest part of Academy City.

The incident started when the first student who used the Fantasy Master to forcibly enhance his abilities suddenly fell into a coma. Then it spread quickly like a sudden outbreak of a plague. A large number of students suddenly fell into a deep coma for no reason, regardless of any use. No method can be used to detect abnormalities in their bodies. The only clue is that they are all people who have used "Fantasy Controllers".

In just two days, the number of victims involved in coma incidents has surged to tens of thousands, and this number is still soaring rapidly.

Faced with the unexpected incident, the security team and the disciplinary committee fell into great passivity. Since they have not been able to find the culprit of the "Fantasy Controller" incident so far, they naturally have no way of solving the problem at its root. Secondly, in addition to fantasizing that the outbreak of the Mitsuru incident may be related to the aim diffusion force field, no one can explain its principle and the cause of coma. Such a complex and difficult-to-understand event, with such a wide scope, It has actually exceeded the capabilities of the police force and the disciplinary committee.

Branch 177 of the Discipline Committee, which is also where Shirai Kuroko and Uiharu Shiori work, several girls are gathered together, everyone's expressions are filled with sadness.

Although they are not members of the Discipline Committee, Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko are here for various reasons. They also contributed a lot when investigating the Fantasy Mitsuru incident.

"Those students who fell into a coma have been confirmed to have no physical problems," the speaker was a relatively mature and stable senior with short black hair, intellectual female eyes, and a serious expression. Although this The girl who seemed to be just a student had a decisive and reliable feeling about her. "The cause of the coma cannot yet be ascertained. The only thing that is certain is that the brains of these students are no longer able to make any decisions on the information from the outside world." The reaction is a state similar to deep shock.”

"If we could find the original documents of the Fantasy Controller or the original research data of its creator, it would be possible to awaken these students, but now... there is no way at all."

"In that case, wouldn't the students be in a coma forever!?"

After hearing what her senior told her about the situation, Uiharu Shili immediately exclaimed.

"How could that happen..." When Saten Ruiko heard Uiharu Shiri's words, she immediately showed an unacceptable expression, and at the same time, a thought that made her feel scared also came to her mind: If she hadn't met those kind " "People from another world", will the people who are comatose in the hospital also include myself?

"Raiko," when Saten Saten was immersed in such a bad idea, Kuroko Shirai suddenly said, "If possible, we can ask people from the research institute to help!"

"Eh?"

Saten Ruiko, who had just been lost in thought, did not hear Kuroko's words clearly and couldn't help but scream in surprise.

"By the way, the research institute," Uiharu Shiori immediately became happy, "You can ask people from the Xiling Research Institute to help. Aren't you conducting capability development research there? So it is appropriate to make some small requests. Is that possible? As a formal research institution, and the main research direction is the development of superpowers, they will definitely have something to do about such a thing. Although some research institutions that we are cooperating with have already started analyzing coma incidents, It’s good to have more strength, isn’t it?”

"That's it. Then I'll go talk to the director brother."

"Wait a minute," Gufa Meiwei finally found a chance to interject, "Where is the research institute you are talking about? Can you still use the power of the research institute?"

"It's not us." Misaka Mikoto found that the senior sister in front of her was casting doubtful eyes on herself, one of the seven level 5 railguns in Academy City. She immediately shook her hand and pointed at Saten Ruiko. , "It's Leizi. She is cooperating with a research institute on a project to develop superpowers. That research institute seems to be very powerful. If they help, they may be able to revive those students who have fallen into a coma."

"Really?" Gufamiwei immediately showed an overjoyed expression, "That's great. I didn't expect Saten Ruiko, who has always been unknown, to be so secretive. In this case, I'll leave it all to you! But...will a large institution like the research institute agree to help just because of your words?"

"It doesn't matter," Shirai Kuroko immediately crossed his arms and nodded, "The director there is a girl-controller, so if Saten-kun takes action..."

Everyone: "..."

Anyway, in the end, the imperial commander named Saten Ruiko came to the base camp to ask for support...

"That's what happened."

Saten Ruiko, who came over early in the morning, brought us some unpleasant news.

"Huh... I thought this wouldn't happen."

After listening to Ruizi's story, I scratched my hair and turned my gaze behind me - Misaka 10031 was very immersed in studying with Visca how to successfully disassemble and assemble a vector coil in 3 minutes. It looked like a certain cat's eye. Loli finally found her best friend.

We have been busy dealing with the affairs of the Misaka sisters these past few days, so the fantasy control time that we think is not very important has been temporarily shelved, but no one thought that things that were thought to have gradually calmed down would actually happen overnight. burst out suddenly.

"Eh?" Hearing my sigh, Saten Ruiko immediately showed a surprised look, "Could it be that... you know about this?"

"Uh, that's right." I touched my hair awkwardly, and when I saw Ruizi's expression suddenly changed, I immediately explained: "I just found out a little bit of news, but then another very troublesome thing happened, and my attention was lost. Being transferred, I didn’t expect that Fantasy Controller would suddenly burst out!”

After hearing this explanation, Saten Ruiko's expression softened. If she knew that we had already mastered the "plot" but still watched tens of thousands of students fall into coma, this kind girl would probably become awkward. Although This was an honest mistake on our part.

"So, can you treat those students who are in coma?"

Facing Leizi's eager gaze, I looked up and rolled my eyes: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Have you forgotten our identities? Or have you even forgotten your own identity?"

If even a few comatose humans cannot be cured, then Xiling Technology will be really shameless.

However, although treating those students is easy, it is not the way to cure the problem.

The creator of Fantasy Controller, Harusi Kiyama, aims to use the aim diffusion field emitted by espers unconsciously to form a wireless network, and use this wireless network to connect the brains of tens of thousands of students, thus obtaining a nearly tree Using the computing power of graphic designers to find ways to wake up children who have been sleeping for several years, Harusi Kiyama uses the "Fantasy Rider" in order to allow the "mutually incompatible" human brain to become a client of this network. "To forcibly change part of the brainwave structure of tens of thousands of students, it is equivalent to leaving countless downloader-type Trojans in their heads. These Trojans work together in each student's head, which is not a rescue. Just a few of them can be done - according to Bubble's calculation, these "Trojan programs" have the ability to complement each other. That is to say, unless we delete the viruses in all students' brains at the same time, they can always pass through the brain network If we re-download each other, I'm afraid the treatment process will become unplayable if this continues. And even if we can use technological advantages to completely destroy this brain network, there is no guarantee that it will not cause damage to the fragile brain nerves of those students.

The simplest and feasible way is of course to make up an anti-virus software that can also spread quickly in this network. This is not difficult for Paopao, but the only trouble is that we do not have the "original sample" in the hands of Haruso Kiyama. .

The human brain is quite sophisticated. Even if its performance is not as good as the Xiling people's quantum computing core, it is not something that can be repaired with a hammer and a screwdriver. If there is no "original sample", even bubbles can only Using the clumsiest method to simulate the current brain state of tens of thousands of students to compile anti-virus software in a "virtual machine" may take several days - it can be called amazing speed, but I'm afraid Kiyama Harusi is already a bit Can't wait.

In this case, we simply chose the method of stopping with silence: Anyway, Kiyama Harusi will surface sooner or later, so we can just wait quietly until the magic weapon descends from the sky at the end. The story of Gundam tells us that in the end The one who comes in at the last moment to kill the boss can always only be Kira Yamato. The one who works hard all the way and is upstaged by others is the mass-produced Zaku - by the way, am I watching the serial again?

Then on the morning of the third day after the first coma appeared, the incident finally broke out.

I know this statement sounds quite fucked, but the wheel of fate must be installed under the sixteen-cylinder engine. As expected, Kiyama Harusheng was picked out by a violent organization composed of a group of junior high school girls, and the only one and the original " The plot is different, that is, a certain flower pot girl who was supposed to be an NPC in the rescue mission escaped by chance...
