While complaining, Kamijou found out the list of stationery to buy.

"Let me see, sneakers, schoolbags, textbooks, gel pens, tool rulers... well, I don't need these basic stationery later. Do you have the latter, Fujiwara?"

Fujiwara shook his head, Kamijou was not surprised.It is impossible for people who come here from abroad to bring paper and pens with them.

On the whole, it is basically sports shoes, school bags, textbooks that Kamijou and Fujiwara need to prepare.Fujiwara can handle the rest by himself.

According to the location of the designated store, Kamijou took Fujiwara to a three-story sporting goods store.

It's not the kind of neat and spacious modern shopping mall, but it feels like the expansion of Morizheng convenience store.Many small brands that Kamijou has never heard of are crammed into a small area.

The goods are piled up high, and the boss can only sit hunched over on a small bench in a small corner.

It feels like a lunch box stuffed hard by my mother. There is always an illusion that all the goods will fly out when the rope is opened.

The store space is almost gone, and the aisles for customers to walk are naturally squeezed together.

Maybe it’s okay when no one comes, but now the store is as crowded as the outside, the students are queuing up to buy things, and the bosses are so busy that it’s hard to shorten the long queue—because there are still people in the back. More people squeezed in.

"What's up with this supermarket discount period feeling..."

Even Fujiwara couldn't help complaining.

Kamijou took out his mobile phone with ease, found the line he was about to line up to follow, and said to Fujiwara while swiping his mobile phone.

"Come on quickly, it seems that we will spend the whole morning here."

"Artificial angels, where do we start?"

Mu Shanchunsheng came back, she leaned against the window sill, started talking with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"You all should know what an AIM diffusion field is."

"Of course."

Misaka Mikoto replied.

It would be better to say that knowledge such as the AIM diffusion force field is the basic knowledge in the system of artificial abilities.

Briefly, AIM Diffusion Field is the abbreviation of 'An Involuntary Movement Diffusion Field', and the translated meaning is probably 'a force field formed by unconsciously exuding superpowers'.

It is the super power 'debris' emitted by the artificial abilities unconsciously, for example, the artificial abilities of the flame system will emit weak temperature, and the artificial abilities of the electrical system will interfere with the surrounding electronic products and so on.

"The basic skills are very solid, which is good."

Kiyama Haruno nodded

"Well, then I don't need to say too much. How much do you know about the phenomenon of AIM diffusion field aggregation? Or ask this way, what do you think will happen after the AIM diffusion field is over-condensed?"

"..."

This touches on Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko's knowledge blind spot. Misaka Mikoto asked again: "Could it be that artificial angels are actually the product of the convergence of many people's AIM diffusion fields?"

"Yes and no."

"What kind of answer is that?"

"It means that the artificial angel is a phenomenon after the convergence of the AIM diffusion field, but it is not just the product of the convergence of the AIM diffusion field. It may be explained in this way, and it is difficult for you to understand ~ but if you take the AIM diffusion field It may be easier to understand the process as the 'coffee brewing' process."

Kiyama Haruno came over and put the coffee cup on the table.

"Coffee is essentially a solution of coffee bean concentrate mixed with water. Comparing water to the real world, the AIM diffusion field emitted by all artificial ability users is coffee powder. If it is just a few spoonfuls of coffee powder, it will only make The tasteless water is just crying. But what if I put a ton of coffee powder into a cup?”

"Don't talk about coffee, even the cups are gone... Wait, so the effect of the AIM diffusion force field is not to create artificial angels, but to change the real world?"

Misaka Mikoto instantly understood what Haruo Kiyama meant.

"Probably this is what it means. Just imagine that the gathering of enough AIM diffusion force fields can not only change the 'taste' of the real world. Maybe the real world itself will be replaced! An area completely created by artificial abilities, It's hard not to think of something like 'the other world'! But these are my personal guesses, the guys in Academy City shouldn't do this, and they don't have the strength."

Kiyama Haruno's speculation makes people shudder, because this situation is theoretically feasible.

Misaka looked at Kiyama's curious smile, and was very grateful for the establishment of the Ability User Management Bureau. Only when such a huge behemoth was suppressed could these scientists restrain their crazy thoughts.

At this time, Shirai Heizi, who had been silent all this time, asked.

"Is that understandable in this way? The purpose of Academy City holding the Super Summer Festival is to bring together the artificial ability users who were originally scattered all over Academy City?"

"If you can think of this, it seems that you already understand part of the truth about the AIM diffusion force field. Yes, Academy City manipulates the AIM diffusion force field by manipulating the flow of people, but now the real senior management of Academy City no longer wants to Use such an inefficient control method again."

Mu Shan took a sip of coffee calmly: "That's why they came up with the idea of ​​artificial angels. They need to use a more efficient way to control this huge power."

Misaka Mikoto clenched her hands: "The artificial angel is..."

"Describe the gathering of AIM's diffusion force field as coffee, and the artificial angel is the crystallization of coffee. Although I don't know what this thing can do next, Academy City dares to call it an 'angel'. It seems that it is mostly similar to the one in Western magic 'Angels' have something in common."

Kiyama Haruno paused for a moment, then looked at the girls whose expressions had turned serious and said again.

"At least, in terms of strength, it should be quite good."

Chapter 80. The worst result is death~

What is the so-called angel, according to the explanation of the western occultist Alexander Crowley.The essence of the so-called angel is a human-shaped balloon filled with the power of the heavens.

Looks like a creature, but is actually a product of pure angelic force that is closer to a robot.

Based on this theory, now gold magicians are very good at using rituals or spiritual equipment to fight with the power of angels.

This is common sense in the magic world.It is the basic theory of 'Magic' that even an artificial ability user on the scientific side like Misaka Mikoto knows.

Although it's just a guess, it's like knowing the scene of a 10-ton nuclear bomb test site, you can roughly guess the power of a 100 million-ton nuclear bomb.

Misaka Mikoto can probably guess the power of the 'artificial angel' through the performance of Katina's power in the Battle of London.

Even if it is a shrunken version with ten times less power, the power of this 'artificial angel' is terrifying enough.

"Academy City, why are you doing this?"

Misaka Mikoto had a gloomy expression and was about to drip water.

"And it's an experiment in Academy City, aren't they afraid of blowing up the whole of Tokyo?"

"Probably because of urgency, there have been three S-class supernatural disasters in less than half a year. Whether it is the council of Academy City or the other three factions that control the Tokyo branch, they all feel the Damocles hanging over their heads." The Sword of Si, right? As an A-level ability user, and you who have personally experienced the changes in London, don’t you feel similarly?”

Kiyama asked Misaka back.

The brown-haired girl folded her arms in front of her chest and was meditating, with a ferocious expression and a confused expression.

Seeing Misaka Mikoto thinking and weighing, Kiyama Haruo thought it was a good thing.

"I probably understand the meaning of the phenomenon of AIM diffusion and stance condensation yesterday. Are the tests affecting the real world and the outside world?"

Shirai Kuroko is not very interested in the magic side, and she doesn't know much about things in London, so she doesn't think about the strategic significance of the 'artificial angel'.

Instead, continue to think from the 'AIM diffusion field gathering event', and restore the truth of the whole thing.

"With a boundary of [-]:[-], the gathering phenomenon in the fourth school district before this time is to test the effect of the real world. After that, it is to test whether the real world can control the AIM diffusion field."

"Well, in the real world, they use satellites and ability detection cameras all over Academy City. In the other world, they use the electronic tree and the gravitron board computer underground."

Haruno Kiyama participated in the meeting where the AIM diffusion force field gathered, and she also knew some inside information, so she could guess this.

She later went to the other world to look for the electronic tree, and it was only to verify her conjecture.

"This is probably all I have speculated so far. As for other issues. For example, who is in charge of all this, and the specific content of the experiment, I don't know at all."

"It's clear at a glance who did it, or in other words, you only need to see who is beneficial to this matter in the end."

Misaka Mikoto picked up the coffee, didn't drink it but just held it in her hand, watching her reflection reflected on the black liquid surface.

"If artificial angels can be born, let's not mention whether it is effective in preventing S-class supernatural disasters. For Academy City, the benefits are simply endless."

For example, to suppress the other three factions, other forces including anti-entropy, gain more voice in the Tokyo branch, and so on.

"This is inevitable. No matter how good things are, those people can use them to seek their own interests and satisfy their selfish desires."

Kiyama Haruno finished his coffee and leaned on the sofa.Look at Misaka Mikoto.

"Now you understand why I advised you not to deal with this matter. Because the emergence of artificial angels is indeed helpful to protect Tokyo. The more important reason is that this involves the entire Academy City stakeholders. Even if you are an A-level ability user, it is impossible to fight against so many people."

"So, forget it."

Kiyama Haruno said sincerely.

Although what Academy City does is illegal and dangerous.A lot of the guys involved are dirty and shameless, not for everyone, but for profit.

But looking at the big picture, artificial angels are necessary.

Compared with the power of traditional ability users, Academy City itself is relatively weak, and needs this level of power to protect itself.

Not having a weapon in hand, and having a weapon without using it are two different concepts.

but,

"No, I won't give up."

"what?"

Let alone Kiyama Haruno, even Shirai Kuroko looked at the brown-haired girl in surprise.

"Why! Can you tell me your reason?"

"Because, I'm scared."

"Fear?"

"Well, yeah. Just scared..."

Misaka nodded in confirmation.

"I'm afraid because of what happened in London. Powerful weapons are not omnipotent. Weapons can protect us, but they can also kill us. The key is who uses the weapons."

The London branch suffered heavy losses, which was essentially the result of the usurpation of Katina's power.

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto actually maintains a skeptical and vigilant attitude towards the appearance of artificial angels.

"What's more, Heizi and I were actually involved in the birth of this artificial angel. Who can guarantee that the birth of this thing will not bring us any harm?"

"Uh, no way. Misaka-senpai."

"How could it not? And according to Professor Mushan's theory, we may be greatly affected."

The two looked at Mushan together.

The latter nodded slightly.

"It is indeed possible. The AIM diffusion force field is closely related to superpowers. In other words, it is also closely related to the brains of artificial ability users. If artificial angels are not operated properly, or if they affect the huge force field aggregates in reverse, you will definitely be affected. .”

Mu Shan paused for a moment, and said affirmatively after simple thinking.

"Maybe I'll become an idiot, or my head will explode."

"Ehhhh!!!"

Not to mention Shirai Kuroko, even Misaka Mikoto yelled—Misaka knew it would have an impact, but she didn't expect the consequences to be so serious! ! !

"However, you don't have to worry too much. I think Academy City still has a sense of proportion. The probability of this kind of thing is pitifully small. Unless you are particularly unlucky, or there are some fatal problems in the experiment process, this will only happen. "

"Yes, is it..."

Misaka Mikoto swallowed.

"Then I have another question, Professor Mushan, in what way do you think artificial angels are born from AIM diffusion force field aggregates?"

"I don't have any concrete evidence for this. Because I haven't done any experiments, but I have an idea... If I were to create artificial angels, then in addition to a rich enough environment, I would also need a similar strange environment. Order something."

Mushan looked at the coffee stains in the coffee cup, which were the residue of coffee condensation.

"One that is special enough to turn a purely quantitative change into a qualitative change."

Chapter 81. Children can't hold it at all

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Kamijou Touma sneezed so loudly that it sent the phone flying.

He screamed to answer the phone, but Fujiwara reached out from behind and caught it.

"Thank you."

Kamijou Touma thanked him gratefully, he knew that with his luck, the phone must have been face down when it fell to the ground.

And the screen is bound to shatter.
