A Certain Scientific Bee-eater

"Too, too despicable! How can you suddenly take other people's things away - pain, pain, pain!!"

"Don't be long-winded, despicable is a compliment to us. If you don't want to suffer, just be honest with me, stinky woman!"

Obviously, this group of bad guys are not knights who keep principles, but bullies who don't know how to pity Xiangxiyu.

"Bee-eater..."

Misaka Mikoto's low voice came from her ears. Although she wanted to make the idiot on the other side suffer a little more to improve her memory, if she didn't stop her, it might be not just those bad guys but this one who would be struck by lightning. shop.

"I see."

Shokuhou Caoqi sighed helplessly, then took out the remote control from his handbag and pointed it at the group of people surrounding Mim Aiyu not far away, and pressed the button lightly,

Di-

The bad guys suddenly stopped moving like robots in a standby state.

ps: Shokuhou chaoqi (pointing at one of the bad guys with a sneer and speaking to the others): This person is the person you want, and the rest of you can take him home and do what you want.

ps2: Misaka Mikoto, who was on the sidelines (shivered): (Don't provoke Shokuhou easily in the future)...

ps3: Does it feel like the writing is a bit slow, I have to speed up and try to enter the main story earlier...

33. You are not normal people

If it weren't for Mi Ant Aiyu's breakup with Bad, then they wouldn't have noticed the access control time and left in a hurry.

If it weren't for Misaka Mikoto's horrified expression of wanting to go back to the dormitory quickly, they wouldn't choose the 'shortcut' that few people usually take.

If they hadn't cut corners, they wouldn't have encountered such a thing now.

Things start from 10 minutes ago.

-

When a large truck with a corporate logo like LSS passed by, Shokuhou Misaki put one hand on his swarm to prevent it from being blown over by the wind.

"Wait...wait...ha...I-I said...wh-why are you running so fast..."

Shokuhou Misaki ran slowly with all his strength, and opened his mouth out of breath.

Not long ago in the game room, after she used her ability to free the ant Ayu who was entangled by the bad, Misaka Mikoto suddenly changed her face when she saw the clock.

Then he hurriedly greeted them and left the game hall and headed towards the dormitory together.

"It's almost time for the access control. If it exceeds, something terrible will happen! Are you not worried at all?"

Walking in front, Misaka Mikoto had to stop and wait, then turned to look behind Shokuhou Misaka, and said with a strange look,

"Speaking of which, Shokuhou, this is the first time I've seen someone whose physical fitness is worse than yours..."

"Ha,...ha? Don't, stop talking, so, do you think everyone has muscles in their heads like you, Misaka-san? You Amazonian...!"

It took more than a minute to run the distance of less than ten meters left, Shokuhou Kaori came to Misaka Mikoto and held her knees with her hands, panting heavily and retorting in anger. .

After a while, I heard a faint sound of out of breath coming from behind.

"...Why, why should I... run with you..."

Miyant Ayu was running slowly at a speed comparable to ordinary people walking not far from them.

Looking at the other party's labored appearance, she didn't care about expression management. Although Shokuhou Caoqi had always hated sports, but this time she found a sense of superiority from her peers.

So she turned her head towards Misaka Mikoto and raised her eyebrows proudly,

"Now you should know, Misaka-san, don't judge normal people like us by your standards."

"No, I don't think you are at the level of normal people..."

Misaka Mikoto sighed as if giving up.Shaking his head, he said,

"Forget it, it's definitely too late to go back to the dormitory at this speed. I know a shortcut to the school garden. Let's go back from there."

Academy City has a total of 23 school districts, but unlike the No.15 school district which has the largest bustling street or the No.20 third school district related to the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the seventh school district is a hodgepodge of good and bad.

The same is true of population density and development. Places with many people are very noisy, and places with no people are nothing.

Although it was now during the Daiba Star Festival, which was open to the outside world, the guards had increased several times than usual, but in reality, there were only so many guards in Academy City, and there was no way to cover all areas.

Of course, there is no need to do so.

After all, there is advanced high-tech here that is decades ahead of the outside world. There are surveillance cameras almost every few tens of meters, real-time monitoring 24 hours a day, and there are guard robots patrolling fixed routes.

Academy City is the safest place in the world, at least on the surface.

As the three walked together, the surroundings became quiet.

Even the sweltering nights caused by the heat island effect create the illusion of sudden cooling.

Not that there are no buildings around.

Not that the shrouded darkness is getting thicker.

... However, every step I took, I felt that the breath of the person was diminishing as if being carried away by the waves.It's like a school during the day and a school at night, no, it's more like the difference between a school where students come and go and an abandoned school that no one cares about.Obviously the street in front of him has not changed, but the atmosphere that haunts it is quite different.

barren.

"Ya, it turns out that the seventh school district still has such an inaccessible place..."

In order to ease the unease in his heart, Shokuhou Misaki said.

A hunch, or what you might call a sense of danger.

Something is staring at them.

After all, she was the strongest psychic in Academy City, and if she dismissed this sense of crisis as an illusion as easily as in the shounen manga, she would be an idiot.

Miyant Ayu, who is also a mentally capable person next to her, also seemed to sense something. She clenched the shoulder bag straps on her chest with both hands, and looked around anxiously.

"Do you know too little about where you live? Go through this alley and walk a little further ahead to the main road at the gate of the school garden. Hurry up, I hope you can catch up with the access control time... "

However, Misaka Mikoto rushed forward without caring.

But it is undeniable that Misaka Mikoto's words did give Shokuhou Misaki a lot of security.

——Even if something happens, it will be fine with Misaka Mikoto around.

Realizing that he had such an idea in his mind, Shokuhou Kauki was taken aback by himself.When did she actually trust and rely on each other so much?

But now is not the time to think about that.

If you know there is danger, but you still rush up with your neck stuck, it will definitely lead to bad results.Although they don't know where this sense of crisis comes from, shouldn't the first thing they do is to escape?

Even if you can't escape, you can buy time to think about countermeasures.

Therefore,

"Misaka-san—"

Shokuhou Misaki was about to call out Misaka Mikoto in front of her.

Goo.

An unbelievable sound blocked everyone's footsteps.

It was like a menace lurking beneath the surface of the water, only now swelled in visible form.

ps: Well, the branch has started

34. Long Long Run

"W-what?"

The fluffy-haired Mitsuya Ayu took a step back and sounded a little trembling.

Perhaps an action to distract from instinctual fear.

In the depths of the alley without street lights, something exists.But that kind of thing doesn't exist in the metropolis of the Concrete and Asphalt Master.The same is true of zoos, not even in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, there should be no such thing.

That kind of coercion, even a tiger or killer whale, who has no natural enemies in nature, hears it, and there is nothing they can do except turn around and run away.

That is a living thing.

Shokuhou Misaki's legs were shaking, and his body became stiff.

Obviously she hasn't seen the whole picture yet, but she clearly feels that with the killing intent that the mechanical crystal does not have, the strong line of sight is piercing.

Looking here.

Aiming here.

"what."

I finally felt it.

There is light in the darkness.Paired and blurred rays of light, they were probably called pupils, just like cat eyes.

The reason why I didn't notice it until now was that Shokuhou Misaki and the others had been staring right in front of him just now.

Should be even higher.

Simply looking up, you can see the brilliance of the pupils on the height of the three-story building.

"What is that...?"

A voice mixed with something couldn't help but leak out of his mouth - it was an emotion called fear.

The 'creature' staring at them, the two-legged bear, or the largest elephant, doesn't have that height either.Of course, it's not a giraffe with a particularly tall head, and the distance between the eyes would be too wide.

This creature has a bigger head.

And this is different from herbivores who have eyes on both sides in order to perceive danger and attach importance to the left and right visual range. The eyes are on the front to enhance the three-dimensional sense of correct observation of the distance in order to capture prey, which is a carnivore. feature.

impossible.

No matter what animal book you open, you can't answer this question.

The ground trembled.

It had been a while since the loud footsteps were noticed.And it's not just feet to watch for threats.The footsteps were also mixed with the sound of a huge cloth flapping the air.As the thing got closer and closer, its outline gradually showed.

In terms of height it is estimated to have a huge body with three floors.

It looks like a carnivorous dinosaur that walked on two legs.
