I Live Forever in Memory

Shokuhou Misaki retorted excitedly, but stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation.The coffee cups in front of her and Li Lin were all floating silently, hanging quietly in the air.

"Do you believe it now?"

"Believe... what..." Shokuhou Misaki looked at the floating water glass, came back to his senses, and frowned, "This... There are many people with the ability to manipulate the wind, I—"

A ball of fire suddenly ignited from Li Lin's fingertips, evaporating the coffee in the cup.The water vapor flew into the air, but instead of dispersing, it condensed into ice cubes, which fell into the water glass again, making a "ding ding" impact sound.

Li Lin took down the cup and pushed it in front of the stunned Shokuhou Misaki: "I invite you to drink coffee-flavored ice."

Shokuhou prays: "..."

In just two seconds, from the suspension of the cup, to the evaporation of the coffee inside by the flame, to the condensing of the water vapor into ice cubes... these are already several abilities.

"Impossible?" She looked at the ice cubes in the glass and murmured. She thought that even if there were people with plural abilities, they wouldn't be able to pluralize to this extent, right?

"Magician... Teacher Li Lin, does magic really exist in the world? What you just cast was magic?" She raised her head and asked with some difficulty.

Not only her, but the vast majority of people in Academy City don't know or believe in the existence of magic.

Even those with abilities would feel that magic is an unbelievable existence.

"Compared to ordinary people, your 'ability' is another form of 'magic' for them. Is it so difficult to accept?" Li Lin said.

Shokubee Misaki immediately retorted when he heard the words: "How can this be compared! Ability is science, and it is supported by scientific principles! But magic...it's a completely different thing!"

At this moment, her sharp articulation became clumsy, obviously she had not been able to digest the shock in her heart.

In fact, what Li Lin said is not unreasonable. If you don't preconceive it, many concepts beyond cognition can be understood.

For example, these modern mobile phones, computers, and even an ordinary glass ball would be considered magic and treasures in ancient times.But do modern people do this?Won't.

Even if a person from the future travels to the present, if he comes up with something that humans cannot understand at present, then humans will only think it is a product of future technology, and will not think it is magic.

This is the patterned evolution of cognition, and it is also the reason why Shokuhou Misaki believes that "ability" and "magic" are essentially different.To her, abilities are a type of technological development, but only a few can develop them.And magic is a product that violates the material world, and is incompatible with this world.

Fortunately, Shokuhou Misaki is not an ordinary person. She has experienced many dark sides of Academy City, and she has already developed a big heart.So after the initial shock, I immediately calmed down.

"Ms. Li Lin, I feel that my world view is about to be subverted by you." She said.

Sorry everyone, the update is not stable these days.Because the author's right ring finger doesn't know what's going on, it's not red or swollen, but it's a bit tingling.I was afraid of some bad omen, so I didn't dare to use it when typing.Half of this chapter was typed with a mobile phone and two thumbs on the Jiugongge, and the speed was much slower... The author plans to go to the hospital if the pain still persists tomorrow. Of course, it may be a psychological effect. Well--hope it's the latter.

Chapter 088: Pope's Warrant

The receptivity of modern people is very strong.

It may be because I have read and played too many books, games, and film and television works of Immortals and Tales, so that no matter how weird things happen in front of me, I can slowly accept them after the initial shock.

In ancient times, if someone suddenly displayed extraordinary power, he would either be worshiped as a god by the people, or be killed by the people as a demon.

The difference is that many fantasy works were probably banned in ancient times.Even if it is not banned, the information in that era was blocked, the mobility was so poor, and there were very few literate people, it was impossible to spread it.

Modern children have heard so many strange stories, played many fantasy games, and watched many fantasy movies and novels since they were young. Their tolerance has long been greatly improved, and their "shock" threshold has also been raised.

The same is true for Shokuhou Misaki now. She looks at Li Lin calmly now, and wants him to provide more convincing evidence that he is really a magician, instead of using some unknown scientific power to deceive him.

"How do I know if you're using a special scientific device?"

While talking, Shokuhou Misaki rolled his eyes around Li Lin, as if he was looking for some kind of "device".

She even ate a piece of ice made by Li Lin, and fainted with bitterness after entering her mouth.Really coffee flavored ice cubes.

As for this question, Li Lin said that it is difficult to answer.

"Your question is unsolvable," he said. "It's like asking you to prove to me that you are not when I suspect you are an alien. Can you prove it to me?"

Shokuhou Misaki was speechless: "Of course I am not an alien."

"What about the evidence? Your face, body, and even your thoughts can be shaped by unknown science. Then how do you prove it?"

"..."

Shokuhou Misaki understood Li Lin's meaning, and took a deep breath: "Okay. Let's assume for the time being that you—Ms. Li Lin is a magician."

"Then." She stared into Li Lin's eyes, "As a magician, why did you come to Academy City, a representative city of 'technology', to be a teacher? There must be a reason."

While asking, Shokuhou Misaki thought to himself: No wonder I failed miserably when we met for the first time. If he is really a magician, then it is not impossible to use some magic to resist my ability, right?

Li Lin nodded, but what he said was not what Shokuho Misaki wanted to hear.

"You should tell me about your information." He said, "Or do you want to leave out a single important point and get all my information out of nothing?"

"...Kihara Gensei, as far as I know, is an important veteran of the Kihara clan in charge of the 'capable person system' project. He is protected by the Anbu organization and is very mysterious." Shokuhou Misaki said.

"He has conducted countless human experiments, and even he himself has lost his human body and transformed himself - completely typical of a mad scientist."

Shokuhou Misaki looked disgusted. She hated human experimentation, and even felt sick when she mentioned it.

"These are not important." Li Lin shook his head. "I don't want to know what he has done and who is protecting him. I just want to know where he is now. The location is the only information I need."

"Actually, I'm curious, Mr. Li Lin, as a magician, how did you become enmity with Kihara Gensei? Is it because of...that researcher named Haruno Kiyama?" Shokuhou Misaki suddenly answered the wrong question.

Li Lin: "You're asking the question knowingly. But even if it's not because of my friend, I have to settle accounts with him. There is no special reason, it's just because he came into my sight and did things I can't understand .”

He wasn't surprised that Shokuhou Misaki knew that he had a connection with Haruno Kiyama, and the relationship between the two was not sneaky, it was completely aboveboard.Ordinary detectives can figure out that the two are friends after a little investigation.

What's more, Shokuhou Misaki, her title of "Queen Bee" is not in vain.There are countless "worker bees" under his command, all over every school, and even infiltrated some dark organizations.These can be used as eyeliner and are a very powerful intelligence network.

That's why Li Lin believed that she had information, otherwise, he wouldn't have heard a teenage girl say that he had it, so he really believed it and took the time to sit and listen.
