Academy City's Puppet Master

Misaka Mikoto made a decision, so while the other three were chatting, she took out her handheld computer and started searching for information.

Because it is impossible to go too far in public, so Misaka Mikoto just browses the web and checks the news.

She wanted to make sure if anyone had discovered her attack last night.

"What is Misaka-san looking at?" Saten Saten who was beside her curiously raised her head.

Seeing her like this, the other two also looked over.

Fortunately, there was no special operation... Misaka Mikoto thought to herself, and then clicked on a piece of news: "Oh, I just browsed the news casually."

"The Opening Ceremony of the 'Brenhill Institute of Artificial Intelligence'..." Saten Ruiko read the news headline, "What is the name of this institute? It's so strange."

===Chapter 59 Misaka Mikoto is also interested in urban legends===

"Oh, that." Shirai Heizi said, "It seems to be a well-known research institution... I have never heard of it before, but the opening ceremony was very vigorously announced-many students in the school were invited to participate What about the opening ceremony?"

Tokiwadai Middle School is a "noble girls' school", and most of them—it should be said that almost all the students are from families who are either rich or noble.

When they were invited, it was their parents who were invited.That is to say, this "Bron Hill Institute of Artificial Intelligence" indirectly invited many bigwigs from the political and business circles to attend the opening ceremony, which can be described as a big deal.

However, Misaka Mikoto was not interested in this, so she just looked at it casually, then exited the page and was about to turn off the computer.At this moment, it really is not a good time to investigate intelligence.

"Wait a minute," Saten Ruiko pressed her hand, "Oh, is this a new handheld computer?"

"That's right." Misaka Mikoto nodded, "I just bought it yesterday."

"What a calm attitude, as expected of level 5!" Saten Reniko sighed at the wealth of her companion, "Can you lend me a bit?"

Misaka Mikoto thought about it, and she did not leave traces of a hacker in this computer, so she simply agreed.

Saten Ruiko didn't mean to borrow the computer, but directly operated: "There is a very powerful website, but there is no mobile terminal yet, so only a computer can open it."

"Qing, clang, clang!" Saten Reiko showed the other three people the webpage she had found.

The dark red background, the silhouette of the dark castle and the cemetery, the website logo that seems to be bleeding with blood... Unsurprisingly, it is a forum for the exchange of urban legends.

"Ah, it really is this." Chuchun Shiri rubbed his forehead feebly.

Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko also looked at each other with troubled eyes.

This is really Saten Ruiko's style... The gathering of four people, Saten Ruiko's "urban legend small forum" seems to be an indispensable repertoire.

It's not that Misaka Mikoto and the others hate these strange tales, it's just...how should I put it?

Saten Renko, she is obviously a beautiful girl with a cheerful personality and first-class appearance, why would she like something that doesn't match the painting style?

But Saten Ruiko really likes these things, and she is showing her new discoveries to everyone with the kindness of sharing them with her good friends.

So Misaka Mikoto and the others had no intention of refusing.Anyway, it's chatting, any topic is fine, as long as it's interesting.

"Is there any other strange news?" Shirai Heizi asked casually.

Originally, she should be the calmest and rational person among the four—when not involving her elder sister Misaka Mikoto—she was not interested in these anecdotes and gossip at all in the past.

But it was here the day before yesterday. They just finished discussing the "vampire" thing, and then they encountered a "vampire" attack when they went out.

This made Shirai Kuroko, who is also a disciplinary committee member, somewhat interested in these urban legends.Maybe we can find some information related to the case.

"Oh!" Seeing everyone's interest, Saten Ruiko also became excited, "If you want to talk about the hottest news recently, it's nothing more than this!"

She clicked on the top post, and a post was pinned to the top: "Fantasy Royal Hand (Level Upper)!"

"Recently? Wasn't he still a vampire the day before yesterday?" Misaka Mikoto said, "The information of urban legends is also updated very quickly. So, what is this fantasy hand?"

Saten Ruiko smiled mysteriously and triumphantly, deliberately lowered her voice, and whispered to the three friends: "As the name suggests——Level Upper——it means level up! It is said that it can increase the level of the capable person!"

"Hey! Is there such a magical thing?" Chuchun Shili asked in surprise, and did not listen to it as a legend like before.

"Ah, it really is an urban legend..." Shirai Kuroko showed a "here again" expression, "Well, similar information spreads every once in a while, but it turns out to be rumors or fraudulent information in the end. "

In the work of the disciplinary committee, Shirai Kuroko had already seen too much similar information.

Hearing what she said, Chuchun Shili also calmed down: "Is that so... Saten should pay attention, if they want to charge money to sell any strange products, or invite you to attend lectures in strange places, you must tell me what!"

"Hey... do I look like such an idiot who can be easily deceived?" Saten Ruiko was suddenly a little discouraged.

Things like urban legends have to have that kind of "plausible" feeling to be attractive!It's not that Saten Ruiko insists on believing that those legends are true... It's just that it's a bit disappointing to be overthrown and falsified directly-in this way, wouldn't the fun of continuing the discussion be completely lost?

But she was relieved very quickly, it would be okay if there was only Chuchun Shili, maybe she was fooled by herself.

But now there are two "daughters" from Tokiwadai Middle School - Misaka Mikoto, level 5; Shirai Kuroko, level 4!They are all genuinely high-level... no, they are already top-level ability users.They don't need it at all, and they won't be interested in fantasy hands, right?

I found the wrong partner... Saten Ruiko reflected in her heart, sure enough, when talking about urban legends in Amway, she also had to choose the topic according to the target!

Saten Ruiko also didn't mean to complain about Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko, she knew very well that they were not malicious at all, but simply not interested, it was a subconscious reaction.

Well, it's precisely because they don't pay much attention to the "level of ability" that they can become good friends.

Saten Ruiko, who is a level 0 incompetent, is really interested in "Fantasy Miter". In the past, even if the "audience" is not interested, she can force it to continue.

But today is different, Saten Ruiko still remembers today's theme - Shirai Kuroko asked them to come out together, it's for Misaka Mikoto's relaxation... So it's better to restrain yourself, don't overemphasize your interest.

After all, raising the ability level or something...is it meaningless to the electromagnetic gun that is already a top-level superpower...?

Turning her head to look around, she was surprised to find that Misaka Mikoto was looking at the content on the webpage—the rumors and information about "Fantasy Royal Hand"!

"Uh... is Misaka-san interested in this?"
