Shirai brother of a certain science

225 - Acting skills of actor and actress
Normally, in this dark night, there would be several dysprosium lamps tied to the tower crane for lighting.But now is a special period, the dysprosium lamp is not turned on at all, and the whole construction site is pitch black.

In the half-built building, occasionally there will be a sound of rolling steel bars, giving people a chilling feeling.

Vanessa and Tita are alright, with the blessing of spells, they can't be said to be walking on the ground in the dark night, but they won't be blind either.

But Kamijou suffered a lot.

With a mortal body, he couldn't see the way clearly.

I want to turn on the light, but I am afraid of disturbing the enemy.

He could only use the moonlight in the sky to follow the two people in front with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The area of ​​the entire construction site is not too small. There are a total of three houses under construction, and they are basically built to more than [-] floors.

It may sound unbelievable, but if this is the construction team of the Celestial Dynasty, it doesn't seem so strange to build so fast in a short period of time.

After all, infrastructure maniacs are not in vain.

The inside of the building was darker than the outside. Although the whole building was just a frame without bricks, it completely blocked the moonlight directly above. Kamijou Touma could hardly even see Tita and Vanessa in front of him.

At this moment, he even wanted to climb up from the outer frame around the building.

At least he could see some light there.

"Vanessa, help him."

It wasn't until Kamijou Touma accidentally bumped into a load-bearing pillar that Tita realized that Kamijou Touma didn't have the blessing of magic like them.

"it is good."

Walking in front of Kamijou Touma, Vanessa took out a petite cross from her pocket, and drew a few symbols on Kamijou Touma's eyelids.

"If you use the spell, you will be noticed by the enemies hiding here, so let's make do with it."

When Kamijou Touma opened his eyes again, the darkness was no longer in front of him.

Although he was still groggy, he could at least see the obstacles and the three people in front of him.

wait?three people?

"careful!"

Pushing away Vanessa in front of him, Kamijou Touma stretched out his arms and caught the steel bar in the opponent's hand.

The pain in his arm almost made him cry out.

Tita also "reacted", a golden light flashed in her hand, and a spear appeared in her hand.

Holding a spear in her hand, she ruthlessly struck the strange figure's abdomen and drove him into the elevator shaft.

"Vanessa, take care of him, I'll go after him!"

After leaving these words, Tita jumped into the elevator shaft, and there was no movement after that.

Vanessa chased to the side of the elevator shaft and wanted to jump down too.

But looking at Kamijou Touma who was rubbing his arms, he finally gave up.

Although her responsibility was to monitor Tita, Kamijou Touma saved her life just now, so she has no reason to leave him alone in this floor full of countless crises.

"What did you say you came here for?!"

Angrily, she came to Kamijou Touma's side, tore off his sleeve roughly, and Vanessa began to check his wound.

Fortunately, there is only some swelling and no bone damage.

Compared with Lisa who is an alchemist, Vanessa is not very good at healing magic, she is better at fighting.

But she still knows some simple medical techniques.

After dealing with Kamijou Touma's arm, she stood next to the elevator shaft, staring at the elevator shaft that had been silent since the beginning, lost in thought.

"What shall we do now?"

After trying to clench his fist and confirming that the injury on his arm didn't affect him too much, Kamijou Touma asked tentatively.

"Let's go to Master Stiyl. Since our dear Master Tita is entangled with that mysterious man, there is no reason for us to continue to dawdle here."

Looking at the bottom of the elevator shaft again, after making sure that there was no movement, Vanessa turned around and walked towards the stairs.

"How can I find such a big building?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow along."

"Oh"

In the quiet corridor, apart from the footsteps of the two, there was no other sound.

"Aren't we going to look for Miss Tita? It seems that we haven't heard the sound of fighting for a long time."

Kamijou Touma couldn't help asking after walking for a few minutes with his head sullen.

He just couldn't stand the atmosphere.

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow along."

"."

Why does she always say this?
I thought about the steel plate spirit in my house, and then thought about the nun and elder sister who were so tough that they jumped the elevator shaft just now. Do all nuns have such a strange personality?
You can't blame him for always talking.

In the empty building, there was no other sound except the rattling sound of their walking.

In this case, if no one talks anymore, it will drive people crazy.

"Fanny."

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow along."

"."

This time, Kamijou Touma finally realized that something was wrong.

No matter how weird this nun's temper is, it's impossible to say this sentence three times in a row, right?

And even the tone of voice is exactly the same.

"excuse me."

After apologizing to Vanessa's back, Kamijou Touma felt that even if he was beaten, he still had to try.

He stretched out his hand and touched the other's back.

The moment his hands touched each other, something horrifying happened.

His hand actually directly penetrated the opponent's body.

Vanessa's body, together with the unspoken words in her mouth, turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Only then did Kamijou Touma realize that Vanessa, whom he had followed for so long, was actually just an illusion.

"where it goes?"

"where it goes?"

On the other side, Vanessa also has the same doubts.

That young man had been following her all the time, but as she walked, she realized that the person behind her had disappeared.

Obviously the sound of footsteps has not disappeared.

That's one of the reasons she doesn't like acting with non-magicians.

But she can't let the other party disappear and sit idly by.

Looking at the stairs, she had no choice but to turn around and walk downstairs.

But this time, she was no longer as unscrupulous as before, but slowed down, trying not to make any noise.

About two floors down, she noticed something behind her.

"Kenaz!"

The flame clung to Vanessa's fist clenched on the cross, she turned around, and slammed the person behind her hard.

But the seemingly powerful blow was easily broken by the opponent with his right hand.

"It's me, Vanessa."

Following her was actually Kamijou Touma who had disappeared.

"Where did you go just now?"

Withdrawing her hand from the opponent's hand, Vanessa frowned and asked.

"I've been behind you all the time. You were talking to yourself just now, and you suddenly swung your fist at me, almost scaring me to death."

Kamijou Touma said with a face full of fear.

Is it illusion?
Vanessa reacted immediately.

If it is an illusion, why is this young man not affected?
But after thinking about the strangeness of the opponent's right hand, she was soon relieved.

"Follow me closely, this ghost place is really weird."

"Ok."

Vanessa continued to lead the way, while Kamijou Touma obediently followed behind her.

But she didn't realize that in Kamijou Touma's hands, there was a dagger gleaming with cold light at some point.

"Of course I will follow you well, after all, it's so dangerous here."

The dagger turned over, and the sharp blade pointed towards the back of Vanessa's heart, stabbing down fiercely.

From the beginning to the end, he did not emit any hostility or killing intent.

"careful!"

"."

It's not that Shirai didn't think about killing Kamijou Touma, but because of Aleister's side, he never did it.

But today, he had the urge to kill him.

Twice, already twice, this time, to ensure success, he even made a move himself, but Kamijou Touma interrupted the plan.

If Kamijou Touma hadn't reminded her, Vanessa would have died long ago.

Vanessa, who was reminded, directly realized that there was something wrong with Kamijou Touma behind her.

A light red light flickered on the cross embroidered on the nun's clothing. It turned out that there was a flame rune hidden in the cross that was almost the same color as the cross pattern.

Flames gushed out, illuminating the entire floor, while also enveloping Shirai, completely incinerating it into Pyroman.

But before the two of them were happy, the flames that surrounded him seemed to come alive, and began to surround Shirai's body, and finally gathered in his hands.

"Thank you for the flame."

Before Vanessa could dodge, Shirai had already pressed the gathered flames to Vanessa's chest.

"boom--"

The explosion sounded, and Vanessa groaned, flew out backwards, and stopped after hitting a shear wall.

The burnt smell immediately permeated the entire floor.

Even a genius like Steele who plays with fire will suffer in Shirai's hands, let alone an ordinary one like Vanessa?
In Kamijou Touma's eyes, the self who intended to assassinate Vanessa rippled like the surface of water.

When the ripples stopped, the man holding the dagger had turned into Oreos.

The dagger was fluttering in Shirai's hand, and the eyes he was looking at Kamijou Touma at this time were gradually filled with killing intent.

Faced with Shirai's killing intent, Kamijou Touma realized why Stiyl was so miserable last time.

The killing intent was so strong that he felt that every breath of air he inhaled contained a strong smell of blood, and his legs began to go weak unconsciously.

He always thought that the Oreos he faced at Sanze School was the scariest opponent he had ever encountered.

But now, he felt that his previous idea was a joke.

To be honest, he would rather deal with three Oreos now than deal with this monster in Oreos skin in front of him.

"Om-"

The golden spear pierced through the concrete ground under his feet and shot straight at Shirai.

Flipping the dagger in his hand, Shirai easily blocked the attacking spear, and with his strength, shot the spear at Vanessa who was already dying.

"呲-"

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing the flesh sounded, and Vanessa snorted, but there was no movement.

"Vanessa!"

Kamijou Touma ran to Vanessa's side, trying to pull out the golden spear.

But the moment his right hand touched the spear, it quietly dispersed like a bubble.

"Take Vanessa and go!"

Tita carried another Oreos on her shoulders, and jumped up from the crack pierced by the golden spear just now with a dignified expression.

"be careful!"

After checking Vanessa's breath to make sure she was still breathing, Kamijou Touma picked her up and ran downstairs.

As for Bai Jing, he didn't stop him the whole time.

Because it is no longer necessary.

With that shot, she would die.
