Chapter 51: Magic and Science
The fluctuations of magic are approaching!
His keen intuition made Yang Xi look at the wall behind him.
Mikoto Misaka turned her head and froze immediately. On the wall, about the height of her eyes, there was a piece of brown mud the size of a palm. It looked like chewing gum was spit on the wall.
And in the center of the mud, there is a human eye.
The eyeballs are like camera lenses, constantly turning.
Feng Zhan Binghua saw the eyeball and was stunned for a moment. Perhaps because he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, he just thought it was fake eyeballs made of glass.
Although Shokuhou Mizube seemed a little surprised, he observed his eyes calmly.
The surface of the mud block vibrates slightly like a wave, making a sound: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Super electromagnetic gun, psychological control, and the key to the virtual mathematics district. Which one should I choose? Can I choose any one? Haha, it's really annoying. Choosing too many is also a very troublesome thing."
The woman's voice is quite charming, but it has an inexplicable sense of dullness, which reminds people of the singer who hurt her throat due to smoking.
But this decadent voice suddenly changed,
"——Well, I'll kill them all anyway."
It became a tone that seemed too rough even in a tavern in a suburban area.
"The human virtual image created by the soil - this Kabbalistic interpretation style is very similar to the English Puritanism. Especially the stone giant, who was the guardian of the Jewish people, was replaced by the guardian angel of the UK."
Yang Xi did not take the other party's words seriously, but instead analyzed her technique very calmly.
"Stone Giant, are you talking about this eyeball?"
Mikoto Misaka didn't understand very much, so she wanted to figure it out. She couldn't help but point her finger at the soil and eyeballs attached to the wall. Although such disgusting things make people feel like vomiting when they see them, they don't feel life-threatening. Moreover, the "Stone Giant" in Mikoto Misaka's brain is the huge and heavy doll made of rocks that appear in the game.
"Do you know that God used soil to create human legends? The stone giant is the end of this theory. This magician should have created a search that particularly emphasizes the eyeball part, and used soil dolls for surveillance. Originally, it might only be possible to create one stone giant, but if there were only eyeballs, the cost of each one dropped significantly, and many of them could be created."
Although he knew nothing about the secret, Mikoto Misaka finally barely understood that this mud and eyeball were like a remote control car, with someone operating behind his back.
"So, this magician is a terrorist, right?"
"Haha." Mudou smiled. "Terrorist? Terrorist! Do the so-called terrorist refer to people who do such things?
With a "bang", the mud and eyeballs exploded, dissolved in the wall, and disappeared without a trace.
The next moment,
Boom! The entire underground street began to shake violently.
Mikoto Misaka couldn't help but stumbling like she was sitting in a small boat in the storm. Feng Zhan Binghua and Mizube Shokuo saw that the situation was not good. She immediately hugged Yang Xi, who was still as motionless as a mountain.
Although they were a little shy, they both did this, and it didn't matter if they had more of themselves.
Thinking of this, she also let go of her reserve and threw herself into Yang Xi's arms.
It was like being hit by a violent shock like a direct attack by a shell, which invaded the underground street again. The center of the attack seemed to be far away, but the impact force spread throughout the underground in an instant.
Countless dust fell from the ceiling.
After the fluorescent light flashed twice, all the light disappeared at the same time. After a few seconds, the red light of the emergency lighting light lit up, vaguely illuminating the surrounding outlines.
The crowd that had been slowly walking towards the exit like participating in a shelter training fell into chaos in an instant. Footsteps like mad cows swept across.
Next, a low, dull sound sounded.
The guard put down the partition walls earlier than the scheduled time.
I don’t know if it was to prevent the underground street from flooding or to use the underground street as an air defense trench, the partition wall was extremely thick. These steel gates fell from the ceiling and slowly closed the exit. The second half of the escaped crowd was cut off from the middle, and the partition wall hit the floor. The students who were almost crushed to death fell into a state of madness with the students who had no time to escape. They were desperately knocking on the thick steel wall. Some people rushed to the guards who set up checkpoints at the entrances and exits.
Been locked up.
"It seems that the eyeball has fully grasped the intelligence of the underground street, including the encirclement of the security and discipline committee."
Even so, Yang Xi and others were still very calm.
Although Feng Zhan Binghua, who had never encountered such a thing, seemed a little panicked at the beginning, was also infected by the emotions of Yang Xi and the other two, and gradually calmed down.
"Come on, the banquet has begun-"
From the festering soil, a woman's voice came. It was like the wailing sound of a destroyed eyeball before death, or like the sound of a damaged speaker.
"——Scream in the mud-smelting tomb covered with earth and rocks."
Once again, a greater impact than before shook the entire underground street.
"Can you find her place?"
Mikoto Misaka, who didn't want to be so passive, planned to take the initiative to fight back, but Yang Xi nodded and shook her head again.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, you can find it, but what if you find it?"
"Uh~What does it mean? Of course it is to knock it down!"
"That's why I shook my head."
Looking at Yang Xi in confusion, Misaka Mikoto hoped that he could give herself a reasonable explanation.
"You may not know that in fact, the magical English Puritanism and the science-side school city have secretly formed an alliance."
"Hey~ Then why did she do it?"
Out of trust in Yang Xi, even after hearing such incredible news, Shokuhou Mizuna and Mikoto Misaka accepted it without any resistance.
"The Puritan Church in Britain is also an organization established by humans, and naturally all kinds of people have them. No, judging from the structural characteristics, there is probably no difference between the Croatian sects, which is as complex as the Puritan Church in Britain."
"Is that true? So that's it, teacher, I understand. Because of this, there are various schools and propositions in the Puritan Church in the UK. Not everyone has a good impression of the school city. Am I right? Teacher."
"Well, Cao Qi's guess is correct. Some even plan to turn the whole world into a British colony and change the world's national flag into the same pattern. Even the 'agre' signed by the British Puritan Church and the highest head of the Academy City is disagreeable. They believe that just by placing the treasure house of knowledge in the Academy City, Index is in danger of leaking intelligence."
Indyx's mind recorded the 103,000 magic books, and Mikoto Misaka and Shokumi Mirabene were both known.
"So, there is an unwritten rule on both sides that magicians must be punished by magicians. The Academy City has 'science' and the church has 'mystery'. Because both parties have their own technology, they can achieve a balance. If the magician is killed by the people of the Academy City, just because they have been worried that the exclusive technology that has been defending for a long time will be stolen, the relationship between the two sides may have a huge crack."
Don’t think that the last Jodoma has solved many magicians, among which Stir and the God-Splitting have already made an agreement with the church in advance. And like Aureos and Helian are wandering magicians who are not from the church, so they did not cause much turmoil.
However, the severity of this incident is completely different in meaning. The invasion of the school city was a magician with the "unique art of British Puritanism" and there was no agreement in advance. Although it is currently impossible to determine that this is due to the will of the genre or the arbitrary behavior of the individual, even if it is an arbitrary behavior of the individual, it cannot be defeated at will.
, a person with the highest attainment in the field of combination and interpretation of meaning painting.
The so-called metaphorical painting refers to the coded picture hidden in the painting of the Magic Book. For example, suppose there is a painting that depicts the scenery looking out from a boat floating on the sea, and the sun gradually sinks below the sea level. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a landscape painting. However, if the sea water in the painting is converted into "salt", the sun is converted into "Beijin", and then combined, you can get the message that "the purpose of this picture is to illustrate the magic of using gold and salt, which can make people swim in the sea like fish."
Others such as the color of the pigment, the depth of the sunset, the time point of the setting sun, and any subtle element in the picture can be transformed into a code of meaning with some meaning. Therefore, in many cases, it is wrong to interpret meaning paintings after hundreds of years of separation. It can be seen how difficult it is to be a real meaning painting expert.
If Indyx is responsible for the collection and storage of knowledge, then Shirley's professional field is to seal or interpret this knowledge through code technology. If she falls into the hands of other forces, she represents the complex code interpretation techniques that the British Puritans have long protected, will be clearly understood by the other party.
Defeating Shirley at will will cause a crack in the relationship between the Puritan Church and the Academy City. If the purpose of sending Shirley to the Academy City is this, then they will definitely take the opportunity to break the crack.
An improper development will even cause a full-scale war between the scientific and magic sides!
By then, world wars are inevitable.
