It was a weekend after a stressful period of study. Every student who was still in school was looking forward to it.
The location was the most popular lakeside park in the summer. A few girls were hiding under the shade of a tree, enjoying the coolness of ice cream.
"Phew … eating ice cream under the shade of a tree in a hot summer afternoon, this is the happiest thing in life!!"
After stuffing the last of the half-melted ice cream into her mouth, a girl with long black hair and a cherry blossom hairpin spoke in a rather exaggerated manner as she tossed the remaining ice cream into a trash can 20 meters away.
"Attacker's Mark!"
"Clank!"
She hit it!
"Student Zuo Tian … your ability is really full of all kinds of strange things …" Zuo Tian sighed.
Shirai Kuroko's mouth twitched slightly as he sighed.
"If it's to add various special attributes to the target, the range of application is quite wide … but at least I hope you won't use your ability in front of me, a member of the discipline committee, okay?"
"Ha … I'm sorry …" Zuotian scratched his head in hindsight. "Director Bro said that my ability is improving too fast, so it's a little unstable. It's best to use it frequently in my daily life without affecting others, and it's become a habit …"
"Oh, I see." Shirai Kuroko could only nod when he heard that it was a special situation. Although there was a rule that prohibited students from using their abilities, in reality, as long as it didn't cause too much trouble, even the discipline committee and the guards would turn a blind eye to it. But as soon as Shirai Kuroko nodded, he suddenly realized something. He turned his face and scanned Zuotian with a strange gaze. "Director — Bro? You finally succeeded in being conquered by that guy who has a bunch of sisters, and you've become one of them? "
"Huh?" Zuotian was stunned for a moment, then he immediately used the karate attack he learned from a certain someone and knocked the lily girl's head. "What nonsense are you talking about! He's just a brother! And he already has Sister Shallow Shallow, right? "
While Zuotian and Shirai were busy fighting, Osaka Mikoto who was deep in thought suddenly said, "But speaking of which, although I thought he was a schemer at first, but now it seems like he's a good person."
Misaka Mikoto's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts as she recalled Shirai Kuroko's words of "sisters".
The experiment was indeed stopped, and the way it was stopped was quite suspicious. Almost overnight, all the projects related to "Absolute Ability" were stopped, and many related research institutions were disbanded overnight. The sisters were then handed over to the "Xi Ling Research Institute". This series of changes indicated one thing, the "Absolute Ability Project" was forcibly destroyed by some powerful external force. The upper echelons of the campus city did not even put up a symbolic resistance before they hurriedly handed over the relevant things, including the guardianship of the "sisters".
And the cause of all this was undoubtedly the "Schilling Research Institute". To be more precise, it was the "director" she recently met, a man she couldn't see through at all.
He couldn't see through all of his actions. It was as if he was playing a game. The only thing to be thankful for was that he was a good person.
Osaka Mikoto remembered visiting her sisters at the research institute yesterday. That visit completely dispelled her doubts. Although it was a research institute that engaged in experiments on ability development (of course, there were tons of other "research areas" that made people speechless), but it seemed that other than the project that Zuotian Tears was involved in, the research institute didn't conduct any other research. Her sisters lived quite comfortably there, and a certain "director uncle" even organized a few researchers to give them music lessons … Well, although it was a little speechless, at least her sisters were well taken care of.
They weren't involved in a new experiment as she expected.
"Big sister?"
"Big sister …"
"Big sister!!" A sudden shout in her ears made Osaka Mikoto quickly recover, and then she felt a petite body suddenly hanging on her, followed by Shirai Kuroko's exaggerated exclamation, "Why did big sister suddenly fall into such a strange trance after mentioning the director uncle!? Did the worst finally happen? Is the challenge that Kuroko is about to face is a mature mysterious man who appeared out of nowhere? Has big sister already been … Oh … "
Accompanied by a sudden burst of dazzling electric light, object A named Shirai Kuroko slowly slid from the bench to the ground with smoke coming out of his body.
"This perverted guy has no bottom line …"
Misaka Mikoto's forehead was still flickering with electric sparks. Her face was flushed red from anger or from Shirai Kuroko's explosive words. She clenched her fists tightly and lowered her head as her body trembled. No one knew if she was planning to give Shirai Kuroko another powerful electric shock as he lay on the ground, having a convulsive spasm.
"Uh, Shirai classmate sure has a tenacious life force."
Looking at Shirai Kuroko who was paralyzed by the electric shock as usual, Chu Chun Yuri, who had a garland on her head, smiled awkwardly, but she didn't have the slightest intention of helping Shirai Kuroko. It was obvious that everyone could calmly watch this situation without hesitation.
"Right, Chu Chun, has the Fantasy Driver incident been resolved? I remember that the discipline committee should still be very busy at this time, right? "
Zutian Lei suddenly remembered something that gave Shirai and Hatsuharu a headache a few days ago. He couldn't help but ask Zutian Lei out of curiosity. Speaking of which, he had almost thought of finding a Fantasy Driver to improve his own abilities. Fortunately, he met those kind "Dimensional Saviors" in time. Even now, he still felt like he was dreaming and unreal.
"If it's about the Fantasy Driver incident," Chu Chun Yuri immediately put on a serious expression when work was mentioned, "Although we haven't found the culprit behind the incident, the incident has calmed down a lot. And after we confirmed that the Fantasy Driver incident was actually an audio file, we also used the computer network to block and track its transmission, so we've made great progress in our work …"
"It's also because of this that Chu Chun and I were able to enjoy this rare holiday after we finished our work as discipline committee members. Then, we went on a, uh, date with my sister, although it's a discounted date …"
Shirai Kuroko, who had resurrected on the spot with full health, puffed out his chest, and once again fell into a strange delusion that made Osaka Mikoto's hair stand on end.
Seeing that her junior, who gave her a headache, was starting to emit an extremely dangerous yuri aura in all directions, the girl with brown hair couldn't help but secretly rejoice, "This girl … Luckily, I had the foresight to call Chu Chun and Zuotian. Otherwise, who knows what kind of terrible plan she's preparing to carry out."
The girls, who were currently relaxing and taking a nap, didn't expect that on the second day, a catastrophic incident that affected tens of thousands of students would happen, and they would even come into contact with the darkest part of the campus city.
The incident started when the first student who had used the Fantasy Driver's Hand to forcefully increase his power suddenly fell into a coma. Then, like a sudden outbreak of the plague, a large number of students suddenly fell into a deep coma for no apparent reason. No matter what method was used, it was impossible to detect any abnormalities in their bodies. The only clue was that they had all used the Fantasy Driver's Hand before.
In just two short days, the number of victims who fell into a coma had increased to tens of thousands, and this number was still rapidly increasing.
Facing this sudden incident, the police and discipline committee members were in a very passive position. First of all, they still hadn't found the culprit of the "Fantasy Driver" incident, so naturally they couldn't talk about solving the problem from the root. Second of all, apart from the fact that the outbreak of the Fantasy Driver incident might be related to the AIM's diffusion field, no one could explain the theory behind it and the cause of the coma. Such a complicated and difficult to explain incident that affected such a wide range of areas, it was beyond the ability of the police and discipline committee members to handle.
In the 177th branch of the discipline committee, which was also the place where Shirai Kuroko and Chu Chun worked, a few girls were gathered together, and everyone's expression was gloomy.
Although they weren't the discipline committee members, Osaka Mikoto and Zuotian Raiko were also present at this moment due to various reasons. During the investigation of the Fantasy Driver incident, the two of them had put in a lot of effort.
"We can confirm that the students who fell into a coma don't have any physical problems," said a mature-looking female senior. She had short black hair that reached her neck, intellectual eyes, and a serious expression. Although this young girl looked like a student, she gave off a decisive and reliable aura. "We still can't determine the cause of the coma, but we can confirm one thing: these students' brains are no longer able to respond to external information, and they're in a state similar to deep shock.
"If we can find the original documents of the Fantasy Driver or its creator's original research data, then we might be able to wake these students up, but right now … there's nothing we can do."
"If that's the case, then wouldn't the students be in a coma forever!?"
Chu Chun Raiko exclaimed in shock after she heard the senior's report.
"How could that be …" Zuotian Raiko heard Chu Chun Raiko's words and immediately showed an expression of disbelief. At the same time, she had a terrifying thought. If she hadn't met those kind "otherworldly people" back then, would she be in a coma in the hospital now?
"Raiko," Just as Zuotian Raiko was thinking about the worst possible scenario, Shirai Kuroko suddenly spoke up, "If it's possible, we can ask the people from the research institute to help!"
"Huh?"
Zuotian Raiko, who was in a daze, didn't hear what Kuroko said and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Right, the research institute," Chu Chun Raiko immediately became happy, "You can ask the people from the Schilling Research Institute to help. Aren't you conducting research there on the development of superpowers? So it should be possible to make a small request, right? As a formal research institute, and its main research direction is the development of superpowers, they will definitely have a way to deal with this kind of thing. Although some of the research institutes that we are working with have already begun to analyze the coma cases, it's always good to have more power, isn't it? "
"I see, then I'll talk to the director."
"Wait a minute," Gufa Meiwei finally found a chance to interject, "The research institute that you mentioned, where is it? Can you still use the power of the research institute? "
"It's not us," Osaka Meiqin realized that the senior in front of her was looking at her, one of the seven Level-5 Super Electromagnetic Gun users of the campus city. She immediately waved her hand and pointed at Zuotian Raiko, "It's Raiko. She's working with a research institute on the development of superpowers. The research institute seems to be very powerful. If we get their help, maybe there's a way to wake up those students who are in a coma."
"Really?" Gufa Meiwei immediately revealed an overjoyed expression, "That's great, I didn't expect the unknown Zuotian Raiko to be so secretive. If that's the case, I'll leave it to you! But … will a large institution like the research institute agree to help just because of a word from you? "
"That's okay," Shirai Kuroko immediately crossed her arms and nodded, "The director there is a sis-con, so if Zuotian Raiko makes a move …"
Everyone was speechless.
In short, in the end, the Empire commander named Zuotian Raiko came to the base to ask for support …
"That's what happened."
Zuotian Raiko, who rushed over early in the morning, brought us some unpleasant news.
"Phew … I thought this thing wouldn't happen."
After listening to Raiko's story, I scratched my head and looked behind me — — Osaka 10031 was engrossed in researching with Visca on how to successfully disassemble and assemble a vector coil within three minutes. It seemed that the cat-eyed loli had finally found her best friend.
We had been busy dealing with Osaka's sisters for the past few days, so the Fantasy Driver's time, which wasn't that important to us, was temporarily put on hold. But no one expected that the matter that we thought was gradually calming down would suddenly erupt overnight.
"Huh?" Hearing my sigh, Zuotian Raiko immediately revealed a surprised expression, "Don't tell me … you know about this matter?"
"Uh, I guess so." I scratched my head awkwardly. Seeing Raiko's expression suddenly change, I immediately explained, "I only managed to find out a little bit of information, but then another troublesome matter happened, so my attention was diverted. I didn't expect the Fantasy Driver's time to suddenly erupt!"
Hearing this explanation, Zuotian Raiko's expression finally calmed down. If she knew that we had already grasped the "plot", but we still watched as tens of thousands of students fell into a coma, this kind girl would probably feel awkward, even though it was unintentional.
"Then, can you treat those students who fell into a coma?"
Facing Raiko's anxious gaze, I looked up and rolled my eyes, "Isn't that obvious? Have you forgotten our identity? Or have you forgotten your own identity? "
If they couldn't even treat a few humans who fell into a coma, then Schilling Technology would really be ashamed.
However, although it was easy to treat those students, it wasn't a way to cure the root of the problem.
The creator of the Fantasy Driver, Kiyama Harusei's goal was to use the AIM field that metahumans unconsciously emitted to form a wireless network. He would use this wireless network to connect the brains of tens of thousands of students, thus obtaining computing power close to that of the designer of the tree diagram. Then, he would find a way to wake up the children who had been asleep for several years. In order to make the "incompatible" human brains become the client of this network, Kiyama Harusei used the "Fantasy Driver" to forcibly change part of the brainwave structure of tens of thousands of students. This was equivalent to leaving countless "Trojan horses" in their brains. These Trojan horses worked together in every student's brain, and it wasn't something that could be solved by rescuing a few of them. According to the calculations of the Bubble, these "Trojan horses" had the ability to complement each other. In other words, unless we simultaneously deleted the virus in all the students' brains, they would always be able to re-download each other through the brain network. If this continued, the treatment process would be over. Even if we could use our technological advantage to completely destroy the brain network, it was hard to guarantee that the students' fragile brain nerves wouldn't be damaged.
The simplest and most feasible way, of course, was to fabricate an anti-virus software that could also spread quickly in this network. This was not a difficult thing for the Bubble, but the only problem was that we did not have the "original sample" in Kiyama Harusei's hands.
The human brain was quite sophisticated. Even if its performance was not as good as the Schilling people's quantum computing core, it was not something that could be repaired with a hammer and a screwdriver. If there was no "original sample," even the Bubble could only use the most clumsy method to simulate the current brain state of tens of thousands of students, so as to compile an anti-virus software in the "virtual machine." It might take a few days — it could already be called lightning speed, but I'm afraid that Kiyama Harusei was a little impatient.
Since that's the case, we might as well use silence. Since Musuyama Harusei is going to surface sooner or later, we'll just quietly wait for the divine soldier to descend from the sky. The story of Gundam tells us that the one who kills the boss at the last moment is always Kira Yamato. Those who work themselves to death all the way and have their scenes stolen by others are all mass produced scum. By the way, am I watching a crossover again?
Then, on the morning of the third day after the first unconscious person appeared, the incident finally broke out.
I know that this sounds quite bullsh * t, but the wheels of fate must be installed under the 16-cylinder engine. As expected, Kiyama Harusei was pulled out by a violent group of junior high school girls, and the only thing that was different from the original "plot" was that a certain flower pot girl who was supposed to be a rescue mission NPC had luckily escaped from the calamity …
