Shirai brother of a certain science

Chapter 82 Hallucination?The sky is falling again!
Shirai still met Misaka Miki in that cafe.

He was just passing there, but saw the other party looking at a pile of toys on the table in a daze with a distressed face.

Walking into the coffee shop, the waiter inside already knew him, so he didn't ask any more questions, just pointed to Misaka Miki's location with him, and then went back to prepare something for Shirai to drink.

"What are you worrying about?"

Sitting opposite Misaka Miki, Shirai asked softly.

Misaka Miki was startled at first, but soon realized that it was Shirai who had come.

"Some time ago, there was an accident at London Station. In order to save his fellow workers, a railway worker threw the train's track to the other side and killed a child."

Misaka Miki showed the LEGO blocks on the table and said.

On the table is a herringbone railway crossing, with five construction workers on one side and a child playing with a ball on the other.

Life and death on both sides are in the hands of Misaka Miki.

"Today the teacher asked a question, let us decide who the train hits."

"Then what can you do?"

Shirai asked.

He did not expect that such a famous philosophical question would appear in front of him.

"If there is a way, I won't worry about it here."

Misaka Miki picked up the coffee in front of her with a wry smile and said.

"By the way, if it were you, how would you solve it?"

Maybe it was a sudden whim, maybe it was because she wanted to look at the problem from another angle, but Misaka Miki raised her own question.

"Hmm." Shirai squeezed his chin, said after a moment of contemplation: "It's obviously a little troublesome to drive out and back up."

"???"

Even Misaka Miki didn't understand the meaning of Shirai's words.

"It's better than this."

As he spoke, Shirai picked up the toy representing a child and placed it beside the five workers.

"can't move"

Before Misaka Miki finished speaking, Shirai picked up the train and knocked five workers and a child into the air at the same time.

"One-off solution."

"."

Misaka Miki rolled Shirai's eyes, and at this moment, she saw the tall figure beside Shirai.

At first she thought it was a man, but when she looked closely at his face, she didn't look like a man at all.

"Who is this"

Misaka Miki put away the building blocks on the table, looked at Floran carefully, and asked Shirai.

"Floran, my friend from Academy City recently came to London to visit me."

"He's from Academy City."

Hearing Shirai's words, Misaka Miki showed a sudden realization expression on his face.

Academy City is famous in the world not only for its technology that has surpassed the outside world for decades, but also for its dazzling superpowers.

She has seen Shirai use superpowers with her own eyes.

Thinking about it this way, let alone a woman with a height of two meters, it is not surprising that an adult woman has the appearance of a primary school student.

"She may be living in London recently. If necessary, I will make up for the rent."

Shirai said slightly apologetically.

"It's okay, there are many people and it's lively. I brought you back, didn't I just want to make the house more lively?"

Misaka Miki was more forthright than Shirai expected.

"Coffee for two."

The waiter brought two cups of coffee and placed them in front of Shirai and Misaka Miki, but he didn't even look at Floran who was imitating Shirai's movements.

"This"

Misaka Miki frowned, even if Floran looked a little abnormal, the waiter couldn't just ignore her like this, right?
She was already thinking about whether to complain to the other party later.

"This is Floran's ability. Because of her weird height, in order not to disturb ordinary people, she does not exist in the eyes of others."

Maybe he saw what Misaka Miki was thinking, Shirai explained.

But when explaining, he also lied, because Floran's invisibility was entirely due to his ability, not Floran herself.

"I see. Then Floran, can you also disappear from my eyes?"

People's curiosity is very strong, especially for college students like Misaka Miki, her thirst for knowledge makes her eager to know the secrets, but she is afraid that she will offend the high-level officials of Academy City if she studies it privately.

But this doesn't stop her from experiencing the extraordinary of these superpowers.

Floran looked at Misaka Miki in confusion, not understanding what she was talking about.

Shirai used his ability calmly, and Floran disappeared from Misaka Miki's eyes like a phantom.

"It's really gone! It's amazing!"

Misaka Miki was so excited that she almost jumped up, but thinking that this was a coffee shop, she finally suppressed the excitement in her heart, slowly stretched out her right hand, and touched the place where Floran stayed before.

Obviously there was nothing in her eyes, but she did feel a big cold hand.

Floran glanced at Misaka Miki, then at Shirai, and seeing that the latter had no intention of objecting, she let him touch up her arm.

It wasn't until he was about to touch an indescribable position that Shirai coughed in embarrassment, indicating that Misaka Miki was almost done.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I became addicted by accident."

Misaka Miki blushed, and quickly sat upright. Perhaps to avoid embarrassment, she picked up the schoolbag next to her and took out a few books from it.

"By the way, Shirai, this is the book about the starry sky that you asked me to find last time."

"Are there only a few copies?"

Looking at the few books on the table, Shirai frowned.

"I can't help it. I don't know what happened to the school recently. Many teachers are not at the school, and the management is much stricter, especially when it comes to books and other things, it is strictly forbidden to take them out."

Misaka Miki also said helplessly, if it wasn't for her father, the school trusted her more, she wouldn't even be able to borrow these books.

"What happened?"

Shirai, who knew some details about St. George's College, couldn't help but sound it.

"I don't know. It seems that a book is lost. The specific book is not made public. I just heard the teacher say something about the catalog by chance."

Misaka Miki said thoughtfully.

That's it
It seems that the disappearance of the catalog of banned books has also affected the mundane place of St. George's College.

Next, the two did not continue to discuss this matter too much. In a sense, this is also a secret belonging to St. George's College, and the two of them have a tacit understanding.

Taking advantage of Misaka Miki's time for class, Shirai drank coffee and began to read. If there was something he didn't understand, he also asked Misaka Miki for advice.

And Misaka Miki is always willing to come, explaining the knowledge in the book to Shirai in great detail, such as the name of a person mentioned in the book, who is a famous astronomer in British history.

Bai Jing admired her profound knowledge.

Floran, who was next to her, also picked up the book and flipped through the content, but whether she read it, whether she would gain any experience, whether she could help her become an eternity, Shirai didn't know.

It wasn't until Misaka Miki went back to class that Shirai returned home with Floran full of emotions.

"Hum hum"

Tita was humming while cleaning.

At this time, she was not wearing a monastic uniform. After the T-shirt was torn, she found another similar one. Even if Shirai had said to help her buy a new one, she was unwilling to go anyway.

Some save because circumstances compel them, while others save because of habit.

Like Tita.

Shirai really didn't understand how miserable she was in the Roman Orthodox Church, so she couldn't even afford a new pair of underwear.

Even the underwear has been washed countless times, and the pattern is about to fall off.

But Bai Jing felt that she was unwilling to go out because she was afraid of being taken away by Puritan and Orthodox magicians.

"Lift your feet."

Dragging to the sofa, she put her waist in, and said very imposingly.

It was at this time that she could order Shirai.

Although Shirai didn't care, for Tita, being able to give orders to this big boss was a great sense of accomplishment.

About a month has passed since the incident of borrowing books. Although there are few books, they cannot withstand Shirai's patient scrutiny. Sometimes, in order to understand the meaning of a passage, he can read it several times.

Or just write it down and ask Misaka Miki for advice when you have time.

In fact, he really wanted to take notes in the book, but thinking about borrowing it, he finally gave up the idea.

This month, besides reading books, he has also been paying attention to the news from the outside world.

He inquired about it himself, and heard it from Gudwin.

Among these pieces of information, there was one thing that puzzled him.

Logically speaking, would an organization as big as the Puritan Church not be able to find the whereabouts of the list of banned books?

Even he, who has no connections in the UK, can inquire about the list of banned books, so they won't be able to?

Taking a step back, even if the Puritans really didn't find the list of banned books, wouldn't they know about the new magic society that just rose in Britain?
No, it can't be called a magic association, because this organization called Xinsheng claims to the outside world that it is not on the magic side, nor does it belong to the science camp, but is in the third camp besides the two.

What's more, the freshmen have been publicizing to the outside world, and the list of banned books is in their hands.

What if the Puritans knew that the list of banned books was in their hands, but just pretended not to find it?
You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

In the same way, you will never find someone you don't want to find.

After closing the last page, Shirai looked out at the already dark sky.

Tonight in London, there is no rain or cloud. The night in this era is not as brightly lit as in the previous life. The stars in the sky can be seen clearly.

"Floran, what do you think of the starry sky?"

Looking at Floran who was following him closely, Shirai asked.

Floran raised her head upon hearing the words, and her pupils shrank suddenly after seeing the starry sky, as if remembering something bad.

Shirai knew that she remembered something. It should be that when he confronted Laura that night, the phantom magic that Laura used also affected her.

"Danger."

This is Floran's answer.

"How could it be dangerous? Isn't it beautiful?"

Tita, the only one who hadn't experienced what happened that night, said while wiping the sweat from her brow with a mop in her hand.

Shirai glanced at her and waved her to come over.

Tita obediently sat next to Shirai, followed his instructions, and looked at the starry night sky.

"What if... so?"

Shirai stretched out his arm and pulled it down.

"Do you still want to drag the stars down? How is it possible, even the Right Seat of God?"

"boom--"

Before Tita finished speaking, she felt a loud noise in her ears.

"buzzing"

For a while, an inexplicable buzzing sound entered her ears, making her dizzy for a while.

Then something that horrified her happened.

The stars are falling.

Directly above Tita, the sea of ​​stars poured down as if being pulled down by a white well.

"Is it fake?"

Tita gave a very forced smile.

"Experience for yourself."

Shirai didn't even look at her, still looking up at the sky.

As the stars magnified in the sky, Tita felt that her breathing was a bit suppressed, as if an invisible thing was pressing on her shoulders, if she wasn't sitting on the chair now, she might have fallen to the ground .

"It's not that the stars have fallen"

Tita raised her head with great difficulty, the calmness on her face had disappeared, leaving only horror.

"The sky is falling!"

Not only the sky, but even the earth began to tremble, which gave Tita the illusion that the earth seemed to be catering to the collapsing sky.

Sweat has completely wet her clothes, it is not hot, but frightened.

It's even a little difficult for her to breathe now.

Seeing that Tita's face was getting paler and paler, Shirai finally let her go and removed his ability.

In the blink of an eye, the stars and night sky that were already about to press on her body returned to their original appearance again.

"huhuhuhu"

Tita collapsed to the ground in an instant, panting heavily.

"Is this a hallucination?"

Tita said in disbelief looking at the night sky that had restored its previous beauty.

She is an expert in illusion and hypnosis, and knows how to dispel it, but she clearly tried to dispel the illusion in front of her just now, but it didn't work.

"This is not the same as the illusion of your magicians."

Passing the towel to Tita, Shirai explained.

"The illusion of your magicians is a direct attack on the soul, so no matter how true it is, it is still fake, and it cannot be touched or touched.

But my illusion is to put pressure on your five senses in all directions, so naturally you can't undo it with your methods. "

If the illusion of the magician is to make the brain think that the eyes see something, and then react.

Then Shirai's hallucination is to let the five sense organs inform the brain of the feedback they get from the outside world, and then the brain responds accordingly.

These are two completely different means.

The magician's illusion is easy to break. You just need to let the brain know that everything in front of you is an illusion, and add the corresponding means of the magician to let your eyes see through the illusion and relieve the brain's misjudgment, and you can easily crack it.

What about Shirai's?

The eyes "see" the scene of the sky falling.

The ears "heard" the sound of the sky collapsing.

The nose "smelled" the burning breath.

Mouth: Shout out shit.

The body "felt" the suppressing force. (Actually, it was Floran who pressed her shoulder)

Brain: Listen to me, this is fake.

Eye, nose and ear: Your uncle, who are you lying to? !

Body: That is, are you lying to ghosts? !Obviously something is pressing me down!
Brain: Is it true? !Damn it, it's actually true!
Mouth: Fuck you.

Thus, the illusion was established.

But this is not an illusion that can be easily accomplished.

Not only does it have to refract light so that the eyes can see what the person he wants to see sees, but he also needs to control the vibrations in the air and the smell that can affect the olfactory nerves.

And there are many places for improvement.

Compared with Laura's style of falling from the sky, his sense of reality is stronger, but the shock is far less than that of the other party.

But to reach this level, Shirai is already very satisfied.
