Chapter 201 Reaching a Consensus...Probably

In the evening, a group of people hurriedly ran across the streets of Academy City.

Because one of the hedgehogs had a lot of bandages on his body, and the other two looked strangely dressed, such a strange combination really attracted a lot of unnecessary attention and return.

Stiyl ran behind the team, the expression on his face seemed to be very dazed, just like Kanzaki Kaori next to him, but this did not prevent his eyes from struggling, and his expression became hideous and terrifying.

In the end, it seemed that he was really worried about something. The bad priest didn't care about the fact that the other party could crush him to death with just one finger, and rushed to catch up with Mu Xiu, gnashing his teeth.

"You... Are you sure? If something goes wrong, I will never let you go."

Mu Xiu didn't care about the other party's bad attitude, but said slowly:
"I don't know magic, so I can only start from a more theoretical basis, not to mention that you have checked all the things I said, surfed the Internet, went to the library, consulted brain scientists, and spent a whole day Time... I can modify the electronic records of the entire Academy City, but I can't change all the paper records, right? Haven't you guys read it too?"

"But, but... "Science" or something..." Stiyl seemed to be gnashing his teeth, his eyes were still struggling, even though the decision was made by the four of them, including him, 10 minutes ago.

But after making a decision, and now he is afraid of backing down, for fear of paying a higher price, isn't this a matter of course?

"Anyway, anyway, I believe this statement. We have been everywhere today, the store manager's research institute, the urban library, and even, even Teacher Xiaomeng said so..."

Kamijou Touma was panting while running, his face and eyes were filled with intense joy, as if the drowning man had finally grasped the straw.

"No matter how you say it, it's much better than your statement that is full of mistakes and omissions and cannot be justified at all!"

"But I don't need any ambiguous possibilities! As long as her memory is erased, at least her life can be guaranteed! For this, I can kill anyone and destroy anything! I swore it a long time ago!" Shi Tyre glared at him, eyes almost breathing fire.

"At least her life can be guaranteed?" Kamijou Touma didn't seem to feel the murderous intent of the bad priest at all.

"Tell me, haven't you guys been looking forward to this kind of plot for a long time? Don't wait for the hero to come, don't wait for the protagonist to appear! Don't rely on anyone or anything, use your own hands to help the ordinary Girl! Didn’t you all make such an oath in your heart a long time ago?!”

The boy Kamijou ran with all his strength, but he didn't seem to feel any fatigue in his body, he took a breath without even turning his head, and shouted loudly, as if he had a second stroke and shouted on the street.

"Didn't you want to be the protagonist for a long time? It's like a storybook, like a movie! Bet your life to protect a girl! Don't you want to be such a magician?"

Faced with such a loud question that pointed directly at his heart, the magician stopped making a sound.

If it wasn't for the heartbeat, how could he and Kanzaki agree before?If it wasn't for using this day's time to desperately search for information, it was basically confirmed that the church had lied and tampered with Index, who had no problems at all, how could they compromise? !

However, after all, it is "basically certain" rather than "completely certain", just like the difference between [-]% certainty and [-]% possibility, it is not absolutely without problems!

It is understandable why Steele can't help but want to back down now. Although what he is waiting for others to do now is very likely to solve Index's problem once and for all, but there will inevitably be risks. .

——Conversely, if I wait for someone to erase her memory, although such tragedies will have to be repeated, at least there will be no danger.

Human nature, human nature.

A magician is also a human being, and he also fears, fears, and has things he wants to protect, as well as an unacceptable price.

"Stop it, Stiyl." Kanzaki Kaori said calmly, "This is indeed an opportunity. Anyway, before the time comes, the ceremony cannot be held. If there is anything wrong, we will stop immediately. This way There will be enough buffer ... we should be thankful that today is the 25th and there is plenty of time."

"But...but..." Seeing that the destination was getting closer, the bad priest became more panicked and wanted to back down.

The "sage" girl was silent for a while, and said softly in a slightly self-deprecating tone: "To be honest, I don't know what to do is correct, and I don't want to hand over such an important friend to science... Since The magic that I am proud of can't even save a girl, maybe I can only rely on science to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor?"

Stiyl stared at Kanzaki with an expression as if he saw something unbelievable.

"...There was indeed a certain period of time, and I thought about it." Kanzaki Kaori continued, "But I still didn't do it in the end, because I didn't believe in science, and because I couldn't do it. The medicine was poured into the child's body, and the child was randomly cut with a scalpel..."

"Then why now—" the bad priest seemed to be asking angrily.

"Because it's just a scientific theory now, I just chose to believe the statement about the memory of the human brain, and I don't need to use any other scientific methods." The girl said concisely, "And this is the first test For a moment, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket, it would be too rash an approach."

Having said that, Kanzaki Kaori paused for a while, and then looked at the bad priest.

"And there is hope now, so I really want to give it a try. Although we have the credibility and results of saving her life for a long time in the past, but...Steer, are you really willing? Just like we used to only If there is even a chance, we must try our best to find a technique that can truly free her."

Stiyl almost gritted his teeth, but couldn't speak.

"..."

"..."

During this process, Mu Xiu wisely did not intervene.And Kamijou Touma also maintained a suffocating silence, because he was worried that even Kanzaki Kaori would shrink back, and he was unwilling to even try. This was his last hope.

……

……

It was still Teacher Xiaomeng's residence, that super old two-story apartment building.

The sunset light reflected on the street at dusk, stretching the shadows of the sparse passing pedestrians long, and all four of them stopped in front of the apartment building for a while.

"The little nun hasn't noticed our arrival yet. There is another person in the room, it should be Teacher Xiaomeng..." There are hundreds of meters away, and there is still the barrier of the building wall, but Mu Xiu just looked up. As if he had seen through everything, he spoke directly about the situation in the apartment building.

"In addition, there are seven other residents in this apartment building. In the nearby buildings... wait a minute, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Quickly scanning around, the young man who was describing the situation suddenly tilted his head in doubt, and found that the other three seemed to be stunned.

"..."

"..."

"Wait--!! You, you... you can see through?" It took Kanzaki Kaori a good ten seconds before he seemed to come to his senses, his face turned red all of a sudden, "Too... too Oops, this kind of behavior...well, pervert..."

"I also hope to have such a practical superpower. Unfortunately, I don't have it... But it's not bad if you just say that I can see through." Mu Xiu blinked, and then understood what the other party had misunderstood, and said lightly.

"I can only observe the changes of the magnetic field. You must know that the biological body itself also has a magnetic field of life. The field quantity, field property and field lines are different for each person. As long as the vision is converted to electromagnetic form, it can be seen."

"..."

"..."

Mu Xiu sighed helplessly, and covered his forehead: "It's like an X-ray film. I can't filter clothes accurately. What are you worried about? Besides, I don't have to use visual confirmation. , The information just now was obtained by me directly by detecting and sensing the magnetic field distribution."

"This, let's talk about it later." Kamijou Touma heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that his feeling of having no privacy in front of the store manager was slightly relieved, "Let's go up first, and we need to talk to Indy first." Say it, Keith."

Stiyl also recovered faster, and seemed to have made up his mind: "I'm going to deploy the "Idle People Dispel" spell to drive other irrelevant people nearby out of this area. "

They can't go up together, otherwise, it is easy to directly conflict, and Kamijou Touma must first appease Index's emotions.

It is true that the world is impermanent. One day ago, the two parties were hostile, but now they have directly become a mutual cooperative relationship, even if it is only a short-term united front.This can only explain the excuses that the church itself found. It is too careless in this scientific city, and it will be exposed easily.

There is also the credit of Mu Xiu for disrupting the situation. If today is the 27th, there are still a few hours left before the deadline, and there is no buffer time, then Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori will definitely not Will be willing to give in a little bit.

Only when such conditions are met at the same time, let them see the hope and possibility of truly solving the tragedy, and there is also enough buffer time, so that even if they fail, they will not have no other choice, can they become Such a look.

As for risk?

... Of course there is, nothing is completely risk-free.

But there are two professional magicians, and one of them is a "sage" who is one of the less than 20 people in the world. They dare not gamble in such a situation. It is estimated that there will be no problem that can solve the problem with absolute safety in the future. occasion.

Mu Xiu and Kamijou went up to the second floor of the apartment building, and went to the door of Teacher Moe's room at the end of the corridor.I don't know what kind of mood he is holding, but at this moment Kamijou Touma also has a feeling of wanting to turn around and run away. He finally deeply understands the complicated mood of the two magicians.

——The possibility of [-]% can't be overwhelmed by the risk and mistake of [-]%, can I really take responsibility?

However, Mu Xiu didn't let him make more mental preparations. Seeing that the hedgehog head was frozen there for a whole few minutes, he curled his lips and reached out to ring the doorbell.

"Here we come..." Teacher Xiaomeng's voice sounded from inside the door, and there was the sound of slippers being tapped, "Are you selling newspapers?"

"No, Teacher Xiaomoe, it's me..." Kamijou Touma could only resist the urge to run away, and replied.

"Hey, Kamijou, have you been discharged from the hospital? Didn't you say it will take another day?" The door was opened, and Teacher Xiaomeng poked her head out.

Kamijou Touma, who was in a complicated mood, smiled bitterly, his previous confidence and energy seemed to have been replaced by doubts, he took a deep breath, and then squeezed in from the side without waiting for the invitation, "Sorry, Moe Teacher, I want to talk to Index."
