People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

He leaned over and saw that it was a crumpled 1000-dollar note that had been washed in the washing machine and seemed to have fallen out of his coat pocket.

"Ah! Is it a god! It must be the kindness and mercy of the beautiful goddess of the gods who saw Mr. Kamijou's tragic experience!!!!"

He doesn't believe in magic at all, has no faith at all, and even has a weak religious view that is almost "vacuum". At this time, for the 1000 yuan to save his life, he became the "limited to today" of an unknown goddess. believers.

With the most basic funds, although I still can't go back, at least I don't have to go hungry.

Go to the convenience store to buy the cheapest bento. If it costs 1000 yuan, you can even buy a bottle of fruit tea.

Moreover, if you are lucky, on such a hot summer afternoon, convenience stores will usually sell leftover bento boxes from the morning.

Because the weather is too hot, this kind of bento is usually bought at a cheaper price as a disposal product. For some students who are not rich, or because they bought too many "useless" things, this kind of bento It's a lifesaver.

Moreover, if you are lucky and there is such a bento left, if you choose the cheapest option regardless of the taste, you can not only eat hot rice, but also buy a piece of bread or drink a glass of ice-cold soda with a higher standard !

After that, I was full and it was almost past nap time, so Kamijou Touma could find the dormitory administrator and ask her to open the door for me without disturbing others' rest!

Kamijou Touma, who was thinking so, happily went downstairs and walked on the street.

Because this is still a dormitory area, Kamijou Touma needs to walk under the sun for a few minutes to get to the nearest convenience store.

But for Kamijou Touma, who is "surviving after the catastrophe", such a summer sun is nothing at all. After all, he is also a strange person who has undergone the training of an ascetic monk in a "sauna room" in the middle of the summer night.

Chapter 360 Eight: Kanzaki Fireweave and Kamijou Touma

Walking alone on the street in the afternoon, Kamijou Touma firmly held the life-saving 1000 yuan in his palm, fearing that something desperate like "being blown away by a gust of wind" would happen.

Today's temperature is around 38 degrees, which is basically the highest temperature in previous years for Academy City.

"It's obviously not the hottest time yet, but the temperature has already caught up. It seems that this year will be a hotter summer vacation than before..."

Although it was not a big problem for the hungry Kamijou Touma to walk on the street against the sun, the glare of the sun still made Kamijou Touma subconsciously frown.

There were few people on the hot street. In fact, from the dormitory area to the present, Kamijou Touma was clearly heading towards a more prosperous area.

But I don’t know why, in the dormitory area, I could still see a few “babies” or “grandfathers” carrying shopping bags back to the dormitory to “squat at home”, but now they are close to the commercial street. The streets were empty.

"what?"

The thoughts that chose to idle because it was too hot suddenly stopped.

There is a strange feeling that can't be said, but it actually exists around.

Kamijou glanced at the clock on the neon sign of the department store a little further away, which was not lit up during the day.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

This time is almost past the time for a nap or a nap after a meal, but the street is empty now.

What a wonderful feeling.

Thinking about it carefully, Kamijou Touma didn't know exactly where he started to feel abnormal.

After all, it seems normal that there are no pedestrians in the summer afternoon, and it is not incomprehensible that there are no vehicles on the road at this time, but the adults who go to work usually rest in the company in the afternoon.

Kamijou tilted his head suspiciously, but he continued walking forward without paying too much attention.

For the current situation, not being able to see people is probably not bad.

After all, Kamijou Touma had no idea if the "someone" who suddenly appeared in front of him was an acquaintance of his, or maybe he was handing out leaflets?Or a little bastard looking for faults?

At the moment when it is completely impossible to refute the intention through appearance, it seems that this is not bad.

Silently observing the surroundings and continuing to move forward, although Kamijou Touma said he didn't care too much, he still reacted.

After the incident with Index, Touma Kamijou became more or less aware of the "abnormal situation".

When he walked to the side of the one-way three-lane main road, the original subtle feeling of wonder turned into an obvious "abnormality".

This is no longer a matter of afternoon hours plus summer heat.

Kamijou Touma without pedestrians is understandable, and Kamijou Touma without a private car is not unacceptable, but now Kamijou Touma can clearly think of something wrong.

In a large department store lined up like drinks on a shelf in a convenience store, no one enters or exits.

The pedestrian walkway that used to feel very narrow has now become very wide.

There was not a single car on the driveway, it looked like a car parked next to the plane, and it seemed abandoned, with no one in the car.

Although there will be unmanned buses passing by from time to time, there is no one on it, and it is empty like a ghost ship.

It's almost like the beginning of the protagonist encountering a horrible incident in a supernatural novel.

If I have to say the difference is probably that the high temperature that makes people's brains explode is really the part that makes people unable to feel chills...

There are problems, but not small.

Nervous Kamijou Touma approached the nearest supermarket cautiously.

There is no one inside, everything is neatly placed, and the outside is also displayed as "open for business".

But the problem is, not only are there no customers, but there is no clerk behind the cash register.

(magic!?)

Kamijou Touma, who was full of doubts about the word "magic" just a few days ago, thought of this possibility for the first time at this moment.

If it was Kamijou Touma from before, I'm afraid it's a TV station's joint prank or something else. Anyway, it's impossible to connect it with something like "magic" that is too fairy-tale.

But it’s different now. Under the reality of such an abnormal situation superimposed with a “replacement reaction”, Kamijou Touma compared to “This is a prank by a person with psychic superpowers” ​​or “Academy City was attacked by a terrorist organization and everyone took refuge.” He prefers to believe that this is a "magic event"...

"What the hell is going on..."

"I just used the 'opila' rune engraved left by Stiyl."

A chill.

The sudden female voice pierced Kamijou Touma's heart like a sharp knife.

Not only did the girl spit out the name of a murderous priest who almost put Kamijou Touma to death, but also the current state made Kamijou Touma feel quite a sense of crisis.

There were absolutely no warnings beforehand.

This girl wasn't hiding in the shadows, nor was she following Kamijou secretly from behind.

She was standing in the middle of the three lanes as wide as an airplane taxiway, about ten meters away from Kamijou, blocking Kamijou's way.

It's not that Kamijou Touma was surrounded by scruples and didn't see this simple.

Because Kamijou Touma can be sure that there was indeed no one on this deserted street just a moment ago.

But in the blink of an eye when the vision moved, a girl appeared there.

"This is a kind of magic to disperse the crowd, and make the people around here feel like 'I don't want to come here for some reason'. It's not an attack on civilians or something like brainwashing. Most people should stay in the Inside the building, don't worry about their safety, after all, they are 'ordinary people' who don't know anything about the current situation."

"It's as if I'm not an 'ordinary citizen' who knows nothing. I also don't understand what's going on now? A lot of things of unknown meaning have happened inexplicably, and my brain is now in a mess! !!!”

Seemingly taken aback by Kamijou Touma's yelling as if to vent, the girl who was holding the scabbard with one hand paused for a moment.

His expression seemed to be a little shaken, but after less than a second, he returned to his previous indifference.

"Then, please allow me to confirm your identity temporarily. 'Kamijoutouma', there is nothing wrong with this name, right?"

"Who are you? Are you a magician like the red-haired bastard priest last time?"

Kamijou Touma carefully observed the other party, and Kamijou Touma was sure that he heard the name "Steel" in the mouth of the girl just now, which belonged to the name of a red-haired murderous priest.

If she knew the priest, it meant that this Japanese girl was also a magician.

And the current situation is a "magic event" that even Kamijou Touma can confirm, with a [-]% possibility.

Then, Kamijou Touma has to consider whether this girl is a good person or a bad person.

"The one who caused the disaster" or the "rescue the one in danger", which side is this girl on?

"Forget it, let me introduce myself before you explain. Kanzaki Kaori, this is my name. But I don't want to say another name here. I think you probably heard Stiyl or Yin Tix said something about 'another name' so please don't act suspicious."

another name

Kamijou Touma didn't hear the details about this, but Kamijou Touma did remember that the red-haired priest mentioned the "strange name".

[My magic name is "fortis93l", which means "here is the reason why I am the strongest"! 】

So said the murderous red-haired priest.

Kamijou Touma didn't understand the meaning and the reason for taking such a special name, but from the fact that the priest named Steele launched a fatal attack on Kamijou Touma after saying the name.

And the "another name I don't want to say here" in the mouth of the girl in front of me, once the magician utters this so-called "magic name", it means that a life-and-death fight is about to begin .

"Young man, let me ask you again. If you are innocent, then I will never attack you. That is to say, once you make a suspicious move, I will not hesitate to regard it as an act of 'confession' , I can't guarantee what will happen after that."

Kamijou Touma's heartbeat accelerated with this definitely not a comforting line.

He was just an ordinary high school student, and he was beaten half to death in the face of a priest who was obviously not a melee type. The girl in front of him now holding a huge sword is obviously different from the traditional magician Stiyl, A fighter who is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat.

Kamijou Touma had a premonition in his heart, if the girl in front of him could tear herself apart in a fight.

So, considering that Stiyl knew Sigurd, he was also an English magician dispatched to protect Index.

In other words, if the girl in front of her is an acquaintance with Stil, it means she also knows Index and Sigurd.

The opportunity was right in front of Kamijou Touma, and after it was almost certain that the other party said "I can't guarantee what will happen next" was not a joke, Kamijou Touma's choice had actually been zeroed out and could only be manipulated by others.

"That's right, I'm Kamijou Touma."

"Then I shouldn't have picked the wrong person. That's right, I was able to fight back and forth with Stiyl, the elite of the 'Church of Necessary Evil', and even caused him to lose a considerable number of 'Rune Cards'." , is this reasonable?"

Kamijou Touma felt that things were quite different from him, and the other party's aura had obviously changed.

(She doesn't think it's all because of me!?)

Subconsciously took a step back, and this movement was also caught by Kanzaki Kaori.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

"I'll listen to what you say, but before that, please don't act rashly, otherwise I can't guarantee whether the 'seven days and seven knives' will cut your throat."

Kamijou Touma felt a cold metal touch from his throat, and the girl who was ten meters away just now had appeared beside him, and the two-meter-long sword was unsheathed in an instant and placed on Kamijou When Ma's neck.

The other party was not joking, if Kamijou Touma had any thoughts of struggling, his throat would be cut.

"Then, let me confirm one last time. What do you see me like?"

"..."

"If you hesitate, what will be the result, I don't need to go into details, right?"
