last post apocalypse

Shirai Heizi frowned, bit the corner of his mouth, and said with a serious face.

"But from an emotional point of view, if I were the actual leader of Academy City, I would definitely find a way to build something like this."

"That is to say, Heizi, you think the Second Bookstore exists."

Misaka stretched her waist and looked back.

Shirai Kuroko nodded.

"Well, in this case, let's look for it based on this idea... Just imagine, if it is the second library I built, how can I avoid the monitoring of the management authority and at the same time collect information effectively? ?”

Misaka Mikoto rubbed her forehead and got the answer.

She and Shirai Kuroko looked at each other.

"Semi-open AR!!!"

Chapter 49, the second set of stacks

Semi-open AR is actually not a new technology. The difficulty lies in its large-scale use and commercialization.

It is not commonly used in Academy City, but it is said that the cooperative agencies in Russia have fully used this technology.

To put it simply, it is probably to turn the entire city into a smartphone.And it's a smartphone that reads the brain's surface thoughts.

But no matter how advanced technology, or powerful functions.

It is essentially a kind of 'information interaction'.

Thoughts, voices, irises, fingerprints, and even DNA, how many people's intelligence and information did the semi-open AR quietly take away from the people who participated in the Super Summer Festival of Capable Users?

After thinking about it, these things have been recorded by the 'Second Library'.

What exactly does Academy City want to do?

In other words, what is the real purpose of the upper echelons of Academy City?

Conceal all directors, even A-level ability users.

To hold such an event, there are still unknown experiments...

"The only person who can spread these plans without hiding it from everyone is the chairman of Academy City."

Misaka Mikoto lightly tapped her forehead with her index finger: "Actually, thinking about it now, we never know who the real high-level people in Academy City are, right? Has our chairman ever spoken publicly, or made an appearance? Even male or female? I don’t even know. The only thing I know is that Academy City has a chairman.”

She has no interest in fighting for power and profit, so she doesn't pay much attention to the group power structure under the Administration of Capable Persons.

She only knows that Academy City is ruled by the overall council, and the council is composed of a 'chairman' and twelve 'overlord council members'.

As for the meaning that the A-level artificial ability has the same rights as the members of the general council, it does not really allow the A-level artificial ability to participate in administrative work.Rather, it is to prevent restrictive measures taken to prevent a certain council member from having excessive power.

But until now, let alone the chairman.She didn't even know who the twelve directors of Academy City were.

"The leader of anti-entropy, the Pope of Rome, the Puritan archbishop, etc. at least know who it is."

"Isn't the patriarch of the adult religion included? Misaka-senpai, you only pay attention to powerful people."

Shirai Heizi complained.

Misaka shook his head.

"No, it is said that the chairman of Academy City has at least A-level strength. He may even be a legendary S-level ability user."

"Of course there are also rumors that the chairman is just an ordinary person, but this possibility is not great."

After all, he was the one who built Academy City. If he was really an ordinary person, how could he bear the pressure from the other three aspects?

Shirai Kuroko looked at Misaka Mikoto.

"But having said that, although we speculate that the second library of Academy City uses semi-open AR to collect information, where is the body of the second library? Is it also like the first generation of "book library", the body is not sure Is it?"

Gaotianyuan Fortress is a floating fortress in the inner world jointly built by Academy City, Anti-Entropy, Magic Side, and Japan's local supernatural forces.

And the database that records all the information of the Tokyo branch: 'Bookstore' is fully responsible for the construction of Academy City.

It is a data base and the largest information base.

The Tokyo branch of the Ability Administration Bureau often needs to rely on the information from the 'library' to formulate corresponding plans.

Its ontology is not fixed.

It may be a computer room of anti-entropy, it may be the underground electronic database of the government office, skyscrapers, artificial satellites, electronic information control systems, etc. can all become the carriers of the 'library'.

It is constantly reorganizing like a mystery, never has a fixed form, and has no exact location, so the defense of the "library" has always been so indestructible.

However, it is such an invincible 'library'.

No one expected that there would be a second set.

Moreover, it is a 'library' exclusively for the real high-levels of Academy City.

"It's not very likely. If it's a second library built with the same technology, then it's pointless to build it."

Misaka Mikoto directly denied Shirai's idea.

"If you use the same technology to make a second set of books, it's better to separate the first set of books with special permissions. For example, create an A+ level permission on the A level, so that some content can only be read by a certain person. "

"Moreover, the technology of the two systems is the same, which means that the flaws are also the same. Those who understand the first set of libraries will be able to easily crack the system of the second set of libraries. If it were me, I would never use the same technology to create the second set of libraries. Two sets of libraries."

Eggs don't fit in one basket, and baskets don't do the same.

But having said that, what exactly is the carrier of the second library?

Misaka Mikoto pointed her forehead with her index finger, the meeting time agreed with Kamijou was getting closer and she had to make a decision.

Should we investigate the information on the second library, or go to Kamijou Touma first.

Misaka, who was frowning, suddenly floated a poster at his feet.

"Huh? Who is so immoral..."

In the middle of speaking, Misaka Mikoto suddenly bent down and picked up the poster.

It is printed with 'Extraordinary Doll House', a huge electronic tree, and a smiling old man with white beard.

Misaka thought for a few seconds and flicked the poster with her finger.

"Isn't this found?!"

--------

This 150-meter-high electronic tree is definitely the tallest building in the world.

Although it doesn't make much sense from a distance.

But after getting closer, Kamijou realized how high the height of 150 meters was.

He needs to raise his head to see the height.

The electronic tree, although it is an electronic 'tree', is more like a giant mushroom.The thick trunk is a metal bracket similar to the Eiffel Tower, and the branches and leaves extending outward start from the top like an umbrella and extend all the way to hundreds of meters away.

If it is not for the use of ultra-light and strong materials, as well as a reasonable structure.

Such a building would surely collapse under its own weight.

"Academy City invested so much this time, can it really earn back by eating, drinking and having fun?"

Kamijou turned Yang Shangtian's head back, he doubted that Academy City's investment this time would be in vain.

But Asami who was beside him looked at Kamijou and said.

"An event of this scale, whether it is a festival or a sports meeting, does not rely on tickets or idle snacks to make money. Sponsors and investors are the real purpose of this event... Like, you know Who is sponsoring this 'Extraordinary Doll Contest'?"

Chapter 50, I know this old man!

Kamijou said as a matter of course: "Who is it? Isn't it the doll company?"

Could it be that the Extraordinary Doll Contest is sponsored by the Extraordinary Doll Company! ?

Bamami shook her head.

"It's the British royal family."

"Huang, royal pie!?"

Kamijou's eyes widened: "Why did the British royal family come to sponsor Academy City's competition? They just experienced that kind of disaster there, don't they need money urgently?"

"It's because of the urgent need for money, so I want to show that Britain has not been hit hard by it. Haven't you noticed that the number of magicians in Academy City has increased significantly in recent days?"

Hearing Asami's words, Kamijou scanned around and found out.

There are significantly more magicians who wear strange clothes, hold strange things in their hands, or wear a cross on their chests.

"As the world's second largest trading market for capable users, the Tokyo branch will naturally need Tokyo to take over this part of its functions if the London branch cannot operate. Academy City's hasty holding of the 'Super Summer Festival' is also to increase the share of the Tokyo branch. Most of them are pulled to the jurisdiction of Academy City."

"It's also impossible for the London side to watch the Tokyo branch and Academy City eat up their business, so they dispatched a national treasure-level spiritual master to restore their reputation."

Ba Asami raised her chin, and pointed to the advertisement for the 'Extraordinary Doll House Contest' floating on the giant electronic tree.

"The more this kind of crisis, the more we cannot show weakness. Otherwise, we will decline again and become exhausted."

"So, there is no difference between the world of capable users and the real world..."

Kamijou looked at the advertisement on the Electronic Tree and complained.

It's not that he doesn't understand what Ba Mamei said. After all, in the 12-year compulsory education, the politics class is still good.It's just that every time a topic related to interests is discussed, I always feel that the world of capable people who are high above will be pulled down mercilessly.

The feeling of becoming a mortal world.

The giant electronic tree is a huge semi-public AR display screen, and the advertisement about the 'Extraordinary Doll Contest' continues.

As Ba Mami said before, the "Extraordinary Doll Contest" is mainly organized by the Extraordinary Doll Company, but the actual sponsor is the British royal family, and the British Puritan Church also authorized it.

But that's not the point, and then the face of the 'Master Owen Russell' appeared on the screen.

"puff----!!!"

Kamijou sprayed it out.

Isn't this guy the old man I met in the London Museum! ! !

--------

Owen Russell, a British national treasure-level master of restoration and production of magical spiritual equipment.

He is good at making spiritual outfits based on Western magic, especially gold-type and spiritual outfits based on the three major Christian doctrines.Of course, it's not impossible for you to ask him to design a magical spiritual outfit based on Aztec mythology, but the effect is not as good as other mythology systems.

When everyone is busy.

The old man is drinking tea in the background.

He is a mascot, and when he needs to be on stage for a while, he can just step up.

As for other work, leave it to others.

To be honest, he didn't want to come to Tokyo for this event, and if it wasn't for the Queen's order, he wouldn't even bother to leave the museum office.

Too much work!

The London branch was in disarray, Fort Camelot was in need of repairs, and God knew how much work he needed to do.

Owen has already decided to go back to London directly through the long-distance teleportation array of the Tokyo branch after finishing the activities in a while.

As for the reward spiritual outfit for the champion of the competition, if it is Ba Mami, I will give her the 1730-style British flintlock (prototype gun) that he has treasured for a long time.

If it's someone else, just fool around.

The peaceful old man suddenly heard a messy sound coming from the background.And it doesn't sound like it was made because of a work problem.

It was a familiar voice.

"I've said it all!!! I really have something very important to ask Mr. Owen!!!"

"We really only have the staff to come in here!"

The little brother who opened his hands to block the figure of the intruder said as he was on duty.

"Rules are rules, even if you are an A-level ability user, you can't break the rules!"

Although he was just a handyman carrying boxes, he was also a person maintaining order at this time.

Then, a voice came from behind.

"Misaka Mikoto?"
