Chapter 807 Don't You See I'm Busy Today?

July 27.

On the seventh day of the summer vacation, another week has passed without knowing it.

The sky is blue and clear, the deep blue is endless blue, there is no cloud in the sky, and the sun in midsummer shines on the earth. It is probably because it is still very early, so the sultry heat has not yet appeared, and the breeze is blowing. There seems to be a cool feeling in it.

"Today's Academy City is also a peaceful day..."

Xia Ran leaned on the railing of the balcony on the second floor as always, holding a simple porcelain cup in his hand, which contained steaming light tea. He watched the morning scenery of Academy City, and said with emotion, as if He has the steady appearance of a retired veteran cadre.

This is basically a scene that he repeats every day. I don't know if he is out of words. He wants to show that he knows that someone is watching him all the time, or he is using this sentence to mock the other party's establishment. city ​​of.

After all, this city is full of filth and filth, with too many dark and bad things.

"..."

"..."

In the seventh school district not far from here, in the building without windows.

Aleister, who has been passing through the air loop since yesterday, has been paying attention to this person's movement, maintaining a expressionless look in his huge test tube. He has reason to suspect that this person is playing himself, otherwise It is difficult to explain the current situation.

It was as if, the previous scene seemed to be just his hallucination, in fact, nothing happened, nothing appeared.

At that time, he thought that this person was going to do something, perhaps to launch some terrible plan that was about to sweep the whole world, and he was ready to deal with it immediately, but what he didn't expect was that the brilliance in this person's eyes converged. After going back...

So he sat back at the table and started editing his ghost video.

At that time, Aleister had the uncomfortable feeling of accumulating a punch, but the result was directly missed.

What is this man trying to do?
Is he here to be funny?
Aleister doesn't think this danger exists, and is really planning to live a peaceful retirement life here in Academy City, so there must be some kind of plan, maybe it's just the calm before the storm, and he can't relax his vigilance .

It's just that he just stayed in the temporarily rented single-family apartment all day long, as if he had lived a life of retirement in advance, doing nothing, and he seemed a little confused——

In fact, Xia Ran didn't do nothing. For example, he came here for a week, and the "Absolutely Capable Person Evolution Project" was destroyed by some accidental factors for three consecutive experiments, and had to be postponed to the next time...

It wasn’t a pre-prepared venue, but because of some accident, it suddenly became a place for online celebrities to check in. It was originally a remote and quiet place, but now people go there all day and night, and it’s as lively as Mong Kok. None of the top executives or mad scientists dared to do it.

The personnel in charge of related experiments suddenly had some accidents, for example, they stumbled and fell down the stairs at home, and have not regained consciousness so far. It was too late to hand it over, forcing the experiment to be postponed and the like.

But no matter how they check, those teams will only find that all this is just a so-called "coincidence".

It seems that there is no external interference, it is purely a small probability event, it just happens to happen several times in a row during this period... At least on the surface, it is indeed the case, no matter how suspicious they are, they can't find any The evidence proves that the experimental plan can only be postponed one after another because of accidents one after another.

In addition, there are also high-level council members who attacked Xia Ran before, and some accidents happened one by one during this period...

Leaving aside the person involved, Aleister can be sure that it was definitely this person who did it, but the chairman of the governing council doesn't care about this, and the high-level council has nothing irreplaceable for him If it dies, it will die, and if it dies, it will be replaced.

So according to Aleister's standards, Xia Ran did not do anything, but stayed in the apartment and lived a life of retirement in advance.

"Aleister, be patient..."

It seemed that he had noticed that the man's mood was a bit uneasy, so a female voice mixed with noise sounded, in this closed space with no second person.

"..."

"..."

"You're right, Aiwass, I was a little too hasty..." The human in the huge test tube closed his eyes slightly, and he also knew that he couldn't be distracted.

But this is also a helpless thing.

He vowed to shatter all phases, end all mysteries, and return to a world where anyone should live as a matter of course.But because of the curse, he lost any possibility of success.

Therefore, in order to realize his ambition, Aleister constructed a set of grand plans with a time limit of 1700 under the condition that he was burdened with the "curse of failure anyway", and let all possible setbacks be eliminated in the form of a flow chart. , lead to the desired result.

Let both success and failure have the same outcome, as long as the trend is directed to flow in the same direction no matter what develops, then all is the same.

So he can look at all accidents calmly and rationally, and even whenever an accident happens, he will correct the plan again, correct the error, and instead use this to simplify the huge "program"...

But after getting used to this, on a certain day, a person who is completely out of his control and unfamiliar, and can't even do a simple guessing behavior logic, completely messes into his plan. , For the first time, he also felt a sense of helplessness and irritability that the future seemed to be out of control.

Staring at the indifferent expression of the boy displayed on the screen, Aleister silently looked away, feeling quite a headache.

But let’s just leave it at that, it may be a good thing that the other party’s lack of action for the time being, as long as he continues to stay here, if he stays in Academy City, then sooner or later, more information will gradually be revealed, as long as he can grasp more and more Comprehensive information, then the variables will begin to show a controllable trend.

At that time, Aleister should not be so troubled.

"Ok?"

At this moment, a signal light flickered on a screen that was also located in the center.

This is a contact from St. George's Cathedral in London, England. Basically, there is only a dedicated line for the actual leader of the British Puritan Church, that is, the largest bishop Lola. However, under normal circumstances, it should be impossible for her to take the initiative to contact. right.

Aleister remained silent for a while, but still chose to answer the unusual call. He vaguely smelled something bad.

Something must have happened.

Is it because of the list of banned books?Or……

……

……

at the same time.

the other side.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, look here, look here..."

Sensing that Aleister's line of sight disappeared, the magician also looked towards the direction of the windowless building in the seventh school district with great interest. His clairvoyance was much easier to use than the opponent's lingering loop. Well, just like the Hanged Man always blatantly monitored him, what happened in the building also had no reservations about him.

The only difference lies in whether he wants to see it or not, and whether he wants to know it, anyway, it is definitely clear at a glance.

It’s just that when Xia Ran watched with great interest the leaders on the science side and the supreme bishop of the British Puritan Church on the magic side were having urgent consultations through online video, they were slightly familiar, but more unfamiliar The call came from the street below.

Withdrawing his gaze, the magician looked towards the empty road downstairs, and found that it was Mai Ye Shenli and Flanda who had "visited" before.

They didn't wear the uniforms of the previous couriers today. After all, they were all disguised before, and there is no need for that now.

So Mugino Shenli put on a purple dress that looks like a big lady. The clothing taste is very good. With her imposing chest, tall and slender figure and soft and flowing long brown hair, every move looks graceful and graceful. charm.

And Frenda played to her own advantages, wearing a beret, wearing a miniskirt, and wrapping her proud beautiful legs with stockings. With her fluffy long golden curly hair, and her slender and petite figure, she probably It made many people's hearts shake, and they decided to embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes.

It was she who was trying to squeeze out a cute smile that was so foul, raised her little hands and waved them, and yelled so loudly downstairs.

Mugino Shenli still pulled his face, probably not the same hurdle as before, and his face looked very stinky.

"Oh, so it's you guys...the courier is at the door."

Xia Ran took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"..."

"..."

"I, we're not here to deliver the courier today..." Frenda's expression froze slightly, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile, using that cute voice to act cute and coquettish, "We have other things today... "

"I'm not free today, don't you see that I'm busy now?" Xia Ran said with a cold face after taking another sip of tea.

Very, very busy...does very busy mean you?If it wasn't still July and you were on summer vacation, I would have thought you were sunbathing on the beach...

Frenda didn't know what to say. She looked at the young man above him in a leisurely posture, leaning on the balcony railing as if unwilling to waste any energy, lazily holding the cup in her hand, and her eyes also exuded a kind of A sense of leisurely and lazy fatigue.

Frankly speaking, this scene is actually very eye-catching, and the female high school student has to admit that around the other party, it seems that even the sun seems to be unconsciously quieted down, and the air seems to have been pressed on the silencer button, which makes her heartstrings Can't help trembling.

No no no!

Frenda!You have to hold on!Don't fall for the opponent's trick!
The petite girl who shook her head repeatedly managed to calm herself down. She took a peek at Mugino Shenli, who was beside her with a more gloomy expression, and sighed in her heart. She could only maintain a strong smile on her face and continue to take on the burden of communication important task.

Really, I am obviously not such a team position!

Slandering this sentence in her heart, Frenda tried her best to make her smile look cute and innocent, and her tone of voice seemed pure and innocent, as if she didn't suspect that the other party was busy with this matter at all:

"This, this way, I'm really sorry to bother you... Let's see if we come again at noon or evening today. We would like to invite you to have a meal to discuss something..."

"I'm allergic to rice."

The magician was perfunctory, probably understanding that the Anbu organization had changed its course of action and strategy against him, so he was very interested in continuing to make things difficult, to see what else this group of girls could do.

Frenda's strong smile was already full of cracks, but she still worked very, very hard to maintain the broken mask, squeezed out an ugly smile, and stammered, "Ah, yes, are you free today? It's okay. It's okay, so what about tomorrow?"

"I'm going to have a fever tomorrow." The magician continued to deny without thinking.

Frenda was still unyielding, pretending that she couldn't hear the blatant rejection in the other party's words, her smile was uglier than crying, and there was a kind of overwhelmed weakness and plea in her voice:

"Is this so? Then, when are you free recently?"

"Yesterday." Xia Ran was very confident about this question, and did not evade it, but answered the other party very sincerely immediately.

"Enough, enough! You bastard...you don't want to go if you don't want to go, what are you looking for for so many reasons!" Shenli Mugino, who seemed to want his expression not to be seen by others, raised his head suddenly. As for her head, she clenched her fist tightly, and her eyes seemed to be burning with raging flames.

That's right, just say it if you don't want to agree!

Looking for so many reasons, or the kind of excuse that sounds particularly stupid and seems to be deliberately annoying. Is this deliberately provoking her?
"Well, the main reason is that I think finding a legitimate reason to reject you will make you feel better. After all, girls are always delicate and sensitive... How embarrassing it is to invite others but not get a response. "

Xia Ran coughed lightly, looked down at the two girls downstairs, and explained very seriously, with sincere and frank eyes——

"Actually, I'm not targeting you. The main reason is that I made up my mind not to go out today. It's useless for anyone to come. I didn't mean to scare you. You still..."

Before he finished speaking, two young girls came running up from a distance.

A head of black smooth long straight hair, wearing a flower ornament in the shape of a five-petal white plum, with a bright and sunny smile on his energetic face, Saten Saten took the hand of the tea-haired girl who seemed to be reluctant, and walked far away. I saw the figure on the balcony of the single-family apartment at the end of the road ahead.

"Senior! Senior!"

She bounced and waved her hands from a distance, like a lively deer.

"Well, what happened?"

"There is something we want to ask about. It's about fantasy masters...Senior, do you want to go out with us?" The energetic girl directly called out the purpose of the two of them today, very direct and sincere.

The main reason is that Shirai Kuroko and the others have no clue about tracking down Fantasia Mita until now, so it is only natural that they remembered someone they had suspected before, so Misaka Mikoto, who was already very concerned, made up her mind to come here again to find clues.

Saten Saten also probably understands someone's character, and knows that rather than letting the awkward Misaka-senpai say nothing for a long time, which is likely to cause conflicts, it is better to speak out directly and gracefully.

If it's okay, it's okay, if it's not, it's not, she thinks this is the best way to deal with it.

By the way, Fantasia Miter...is this matter still unresolved?According to the original plot, it should have erupted three days ago. Perhaps this is also one of the butterfly effects brought about by me?

"Okay, wait, I'll come down now..." Xia Ran thought for a while, then nodded and responded directly. He had an idea, the final product produced by the fantasy master, "Fantasy Beast" and Aleister The core of Crowley's artificial heaven project, "Wind Slashing Binghua", is very similar in nature.

He felt that he might be able to do something, and it was always right to have an extra hand of cards.

bang-

Um?The magician looked around suspiciously, did he hear it wrong just now?There seemed to be the sound of something snapping.
