Lin Xue always brought trouble, trouble, and even more trouble.
However, I also knew that I couldn't blame her. As a prophet, she was the only one who could discover these things earlier than us. This was also why prophets weren't well-liked. They always gave out bad news in advance. Most of the time, those things were unavoidable.
The experiments on Zuotian Tears' superpower development continued. However, just like the first few attempts, we couldn't cause any fluctuations in her increasing spiritual power no matter how hard we tried. Furthermore, after using human detection equipment to conduct an experiment, we discovered something even stranger. Her spiritual power couldn't be detected by the equipment in the academy city that was specially used to test metahumans!
In other words, from the observation equipment in the academy city, Zuotian Tears, who had obtained the spiritual power of a magus, was still an ordinary person.
The detection equipment created by the Shiring Apostles definitely wouldn't make such a mistake. However, we continuously changed several sets of detection equipment in the academy city, but we still couldn't detect Zuotian Tears' spiritual power. Her soul seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation that we still didn't understand. Her spiritual power had completely turned into something that could only be detected by Schilling equipment. Faced with such a strange phenomenon, even the most outstanding Schilling Science was at a loss.
However, the only thing worth celebrating was that this mutation didn't seem to be harmful.
In the few days since the first experiment, Chu Chun Qili and Shiroi Kuroko had come to visit him a few times. At first, they wanted to check if Zuotianlei had been harmed by some "mad scientists who were trying to conduct inhumane human experiments". However, when they saw that Zuotianlei was only going through a routine physical examination (which was actually a radiation test) and a brain development course (which was actually a mental power test), they were relieved. Besides, when they found out that the management of this strange research institute was surprisingly lax, the two girls decided to visit him every day to have a good look...
However, there was one thing that was a little regretful. The famous Princess of Longpan Tai Electric Shock, the popular "Heroine" Osaka Mikoto, still hadn't had the chance to meet her. It was said that she was busy with something recently, so she didn't have the time for the past few days.
However, I didn't go out of my way to ask about him. After all, I was a stranger. If I showed too much interest in the "Super Railgun", I didn't know what kind of punishment Shirai, who seemed to be quite friendly at the moment, would take …
Well, speaking of the Super Electromagnetic Gun...
I lowered my head slightly and glanced at Pandora who was following me quietly. My imagination ran wild in my mind.
The little loli beside him had an ultimate electromagnetic cannon array + nuclear missile silos + rapid anti-mecha landing platform + floating cannon array + psionic energy cannon turrets + … What kind of cannon was she?
"Brother?"
Noticing my conflicted gaze, Pandora raised her head slightly and moved closer.
"I'm fine."
It was really rude of him to think of his sister just now.
Speaking of which, why would I be stupid enough to play poker with Lin Xue?
More importantly, I was stupid enough to agree to a bet with that fellow. Speaking of which, even though I knew that the other party was a prophet, I still had to use a game of cards to decide who would be in charge of purchasing. Did I really lack rest these few days?
"How unfortunate!"
While I was daydreaming and had Pandora helplessly enter her usual standby mode, a certain porcupine-haired youngster's sorrowful wail, which was almost the motto of his life, came from behind me.
Turning my head, I saw a common-faced youngster who had a sorrowful expression and was used to it. Less than half a meter in front of him, there was a box of shattered eggs. Two broken phones were soaked in the mixture of the eggs, and half a bank card was attached to the phone. Speaking of which, how unlucky did a person have to be to throw three things that shouldn't be placed together at the same place and cause them to shatter into pieces?!
"Brother, did this human make big sister angry?"
Pandora tugged on the corner of my shirt and asked calmly.
There was something subtly familiar about this question.
"Ah, it's you."
Just as I was thinking about how to leave this halo of bad luck without attracting the attention of the youngster in front of me, the other party had already looked over here. Listening to his tone, it seemed like he recognized me, who he had only met once. What an amazing memory.
"You are?"
In order to avoid trouble, I pretended that I didn't recognize him and said with a confused expression. On the side, Pandora activated a full set of radar and scanned the unlucky youngster's body, trying to find any traces of him being surrounded by curses.
Speaking of which, Jōjō, where's your bank card? Where's your phone? Where's your only chance to replenish your protein every week? Even if you're used to this kind of situation, shouldn't you be sad for a bit? Why did you instantly forget about them and shift your attention to a passerby whom you only met once?!
"Ah, that's true." The unlucky youngster named Jōjō Dōma scratched his porcupine-like hair awkwardly, "I just happened to meet you once, so it's normal that I can't remember. Sorry, I just wanted to say hello."
"Oh." I pretended to be confused, then nodded in understanding, "So it's like that, then …"
"Ah, I found you!"
Before I finished, another imposing female voice interrupted my words. Following the appearance of this voice, Jōjō Dōma quivered visibly and exclaimed in shock, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
"Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do, so I have to leave first. I'm really sorry for causing trouble!" Jōjō Dōma hurriedly said this, and in the next second, he nimbly dove into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hey! You — — "
Following the girl's angry shout, some kind of violent energy wave suddenly rippled behind me. But just as I was about to react, the energy wave suddenly disappeared just like it appeared. It seems like the owner of the energy finally realized that there were a lot of unrelated people here, so he could only forcefully suppress the attack.
Even if they were the only seven Level-5S in the school city, no matter how strong their combat power was, it was still impossible for them to rely on their physical strength to capture the close-combat professional youth who often engaged in mortal combat with the delinquents, under these circumstances, right?
I turned around, and without a doubt, I saw a girl whose cheeks were flushed red.
She had light brown short hair, a thin summer sweater and a grey pleated skirt, and a faint smell of electrolytic ozone lingering in the air, and … a frog decoration that was hard to ignore.
Sis Cannon … Cough cough, one of the two level-5s in the school city, the electrocution princess who stood at the peak of 2.3 million people in the school city — Sis Cannon.
Wrong again! It should be Osaka Mikoto. Speaking of which, the brainwashing of otaku culture was really scary. After reading the things that were sent over from the Bubble, did I actually treat the name Sis Cannon as the official name of the girl in front of me?
"Seriously, I let him get away again."
It seemed that this wasn't the first time I let him get away from me. Osaka Mikoto muttered gloomily. She clenched her fists tightly, and an electric arc unconsciously burst out from her hair, making a light "pa" sound.
However, it seemed that I was once again shrouded by Jōjō Dōma's bad luck. I thought that I could watch the show in peace, but I didn't expect that I would become the focus of an electromagnetic cannon in the next moment. Osaka Mikoto raised her head and glanced in my direction. Then, she immediately revealed a mysterious smile.
Walking briskly in front of me, Osaka Mikoto raised her head and asked, "Hey, are you that guy's friend?"
I replied without even thinking, "No, in fact, I'm just a bystander who doesn't know the truth. I was dragged into this incident when I brought my sister out to buy soy sauce. Now, I'm preparing to go home for dinner!"
Pandora, who was beside me, immediately nodded. Then, she raised a small pot of soy sauce in front of her to prove that her brother wasn't lying. Speaking of which, why would this girl have such a subtle quest item like soy sauce in her personal space!?
"Oh, I see. Sorry for my rudeness," Osaka Mikoto revealed a look of understanding. Then, she bowed politely and turned her head away.
"Speaking of which, who would believe such a ridiculous excuse!!"
It seems that Sis Cannon didn't fall for it …
"Alright, alright. We met once, but it was just a coincidence meeting on the side of the road. Until now, we haven't told each other our names. You probably thought that I was standing by the side of the road in a daze because I needed help, so you took the initiative to talk to me. If you want to find that young man through me, I'm afraid it's impossible."
"Is that so?" Osaka Mikoto had a doubtful look on her face, but she quickly nodded. "If it's that guy with a goody two shoes personality, it's not unimaginable that he would do such a thing. Well, let's forget about it this time. One day, we will catch him anyway. Then, we will have a competition to see who is stronger!"
Jōjō Dōma, I will pray for you.
"Then, can we leave now?"
Seeing that Osaka Mikoto had already given up on finding clues from me, I carefully prepared to slip away. Although meeting Sis Cannon was the biggest wish of many otaku, my biggest concern now was how I would face the heartless mockery of a certain half-fairy if I couldn't complete the huge purchase in the shortest time possible. Wait, speaking of which, Lin Xue should have already predicted this step, right? That's why she said, "You idiot, it's impossible for you to buy everything in thirty minutes. Let's use this as a bet to decide how you'll wash the dishes for the next three days." Damn it, I've been tricked by that girl again!
"Mm … Please wait for a moment!" Osaka Mikoto was about to nod, but she suddenly remembered something and stopped Pandora and I. As expected, it was impossible to return smoothly.
Looking at my confused gaze, Osaka Mikoto took out his phone and showed me a message. "This place, do you know where it is? The electronic map indicates that it is nearby, but I don't know how to get there. "
I took the phone and glanced at the location marked on it. My expression became weird. "Er, why are you looking for this place?"
"It's a friend of mine. She has been participating in an experiment in this research center. She has been busy these few days and didn't have time to check it out. She is curious about the situation there, so … Speaking of which, do you know this place?"
Phew, alright. Now I was absolutely sure that Lin Xue was covering her mouth and laughing in a dark corner. As a prophet, her hobbies were really weird.
Thinking about it helplessly, I agreed. "Of course, we are going to this place too. If you don't mind waiting for a few minutes, we can go together."
"That's great! Thank you so much!"
Osaka Mikoto revealed a surprised expression and thanked me loudly. As one of the seven level-5s in Gakuen City, and a missy with a good background, she was polite and approachable. She was indeed worthy of her popularity.
Somehow, I suddenly thought of Sandora.
If one were to talk about the mismatch between status and behavior, that lass was definitely the best …
After buying all the things that we wanted to buy today from a nearby store and handing them over to the strong Pandora to carry, we set off on the road back to the research center. The distance wasn't far. Even if we walked, it would only take a few minutes.
"Hey, as an older brother, you are handing so many things to your weak sister. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Osaka Mikoto watched as I arranged a huge pile of goods into an extra-large backpack and placed it on Pandora's back. She immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with a sense of righteousness, but I rebutted, "Don't worry. My sister's carrying capacity is calculated in tons. If it's just based on strength, she can fight eight of me alone and still let me win with only one hand."
"Body strengthening superpower?" Osaka Mikoto was surprised. "Are you metahumans?"
"That's right." I answered without turning my head. However, the image of a muscular Tyson Schwarzenegger Rambo Pandora appeared in my mind. I instantly fell into a state of collapse.
The cute little Pandora was said to have a body strengthening superpower. It was too scary.
After that, we didn't say anything on the way back. Soon, we arrived at the entrance of the research center.
"What a strange place …"
Osaka Mikoto looked at the huge white signboard erected at the entrance of the research center and said with a dark expression.
On the signboard, there were a few lines of words written in various thick and thin handwriting: Schilling Philosophy and Culture, Botany and Mandarin Promotion Research Center. In addition, it also researches medicine.
Then, there was an extended number written in red handwriting. It added: Started researching history yesterday.
I really wanted to smash my head against that signboard and die.
Due to the delay of more than ten minutes, when we returned, Zuotian Lei had just finished her experiment for the day and was coming out of the research center. Originally, a Schilling technician would be sent to drive her back. However, the commoner-like girl seemed to be not used to that kind of treatment. She rejected the special treatment after just a few times. Thus, Zuotian Lei bumped into us when she walked out.
"Ah, it's the director … Uh, Senior Chen Jun!"
Zuotian Lei exclaimed in surprise when she saw me. What made me satisfied was that she managed to swallow the regrettable 'director' back in time. Then, she saw the figure behind me and immediately called out in surprise, "Mikoto?! Why are you here too? "
"Hey, wait." Osaka Mikoto was still in a daze. When she reacted, she immediately pointed her index finger in my direction as if she saw a ghost. She said to Zuotian Lei in surprise, "Did you just call him director?"
"Yeah." Zuotian Lei said as a matter of fact, "He's the director here. He's a really good person, Senior Chen Jun. Ah, that's his sister, Little Pandora … She's also one of the deputy directors here …"
As soon as I heard the words' Little Pandora ', I felt a certain loli general who was carrying a large backpack explode in anger.
Osaka Mikoto looked at us in disbelief. The unreliable man who claimed to bring his sister out to do nothing was the director. The expressionless and powerful loli deputy director was around 1.2 meters tall. There was a sign with suspicious content at the entrance. There was also a research project for powerless people. There was also the security system of the research center that was so lax that any middle school student could come in …
"What a strange place." The brown haired girl could only sigh and make such an evaluation.
"Oh yeah, Lei, how was the experiment today?"
"It's alright." Zuotian Lei grabbed his hair and laughed. "It's the same as usual. However, the director said that the data this time was much better than the last time. Although I don't feel much."
"Are we leaving now?" I looked at the sun above us and suddenly suggested. "Since it's already this late, why don't we stay for dinner?"
"Huh? Is that okay? " Zuotian Lei and Osaka Mikoto exclaimed in surprise. I smiled confidently and said, "I'll let you guys witness the cooking skills of my elder sister!"
Since there were two more people for dinner, the amount of food preparation work suddenly increased by a lot. Even Qian Qian went to help out. Although that girl's cooking skills weren't all that great, at the very least, her ability to control her time was able to effectively relieve the pressure on her big sister. As for Miss Lin and I, who originally wanted to help out, yep, our big sister used all sorts of subtle reasons to forbid us from approaching any of the ingredients.
"Wow! It's Chinese food! "
Zuotian Lei was the first to exclaim in surprise when he saw the sumptuous dishes on the table. Even Miss Osaka Mikoto's eyes lit up. This was the work of her elder sister's confidence. Other than the little ghost's bug-like housekeeping skills, no one else could compete with her!
"I really didn't expect this." Osaka Mikoto said thoughtfully when she saw everyone sitting together happily like a family. "I originally thought that the relationship between a researcher and a metahuman was the simplest relationship between the researcher and the studied. I didn't expect there to be such a special case …"
Visca bent over the table and chewed.
Pandora bent over the table and chewed.
We all bent over the table and chewed.
This was the unique habit that our family had developed after living with Sandora for a long time. If we were to lament for a long time like Osaka Mikoto, even the table would be eaten by a certain hungry queen!
"Well … I still find it weird though …" Misaka Mikoto said with a twisted expression as lightning flashed across her forehead.
