Academy City Temperature Control

He hurriedly copied the witness information on his computer to his mobile phone. It was obvious that Chuchun was not very defensive about his family.

Chapter 483 Excellent Employees

After restoring his own traces, putting the black tea and milk back in place, the small disciplinary committee branch returned to its calm appearance.

With a crisp sound of the door closing, the eager girl with a round head finally disappeared at the end of the corridor, just like an ordinary junior high school student who couldn't wait to share the good news with her friends.

Although Natsume Sonoko did not have a deep friendship with that Feng Zhan Hyoka, and even their encounter seemed rushed and short-lived, because Index cared about each other's relationship, she showed enough concern.

But speaking of it, because her wallet was empty and she had no money to go shopping at the supermarket, Natsume-san hadn't visited the nun who was working part-time as a temporary food handler and waitress for several days.

"It's so distressing. I don't go to the supermarket to buy anything. I feel a little unhappy no matter how I think about it."

"Once there is no strong financial support, junior high school girls will no longer be popular among stores."

The illusory wind wings slowly unfolded, and Natsume Sonoko, who had a little emotion on her face, moved quickly between high-rise buildings, letting the harsh wind blasts pass by her ears.

When she thinks that this poverty situation will continue until the scholarship is distributed next month, Natsume feels like her days are like a year.

Although I thought about borrowing some money from the senior classmates around me for an emergency, I still couldn't do anything.

I don’t know whether it’s the girl’s boring self-esteem or the burden of being an eldest lady that makes Natsume-san care about things that may lower her own evaluation.

After passing through the dense steel forest and far away from the building without doors or windows, a small black dot broke straight into the crowded street.

It seemed that some unknown types of armed aircraft could be seen in the distance, but they were somewhat in the opposite direction to Natsume-san's direction, so she didn't take them to heart.

...

Wearing loose employee uniforms, his work ID card hangs softly around his neck.

The little nun who chose to fend for herself because her host family was too poor sat bored in her exclusive seat, dangling her legs and looking at the people coming and going. From time to time, she would go to the sample TV in the electrical appliances counter next door to watch Magical Girls for a while. Kanami has no sense that she is actually a supermarket employee.

Although she had nothing to do all day long, it did not hinder the fact that she was an excellent employee here.

Because of her, there has been no crisis caused by expired food in this supermarket for some time, even baked bread that will expire after a day.

It helps supermarkets perfectly solve the troublesome issue of wasting food and food safety.

"The soft-skinned milk candies in the candy section have a shelf life of one month, and the potato chips in the snack section are basically more than three months old... It feels like a long time no matter how you think about it."

"Fruit has a short shelf life, but if you eat too much, it will be like drinking water. Not many people buy the fresh milk in the supermarket, but the taste is not very good. Even bread and sandwiches only have strange flavors that no one wants every day."

Index, who was counting on her fingers and immersed in some kind of trouble, couldn't help but pouted.

Although she is a terrible big eater who eats sour ramen, beef jerky that has expired for one year, and eats chow mein bread with plastic packaging, as long as she eats it in this supermarket with ample food and various flavors, If she stays for a long time, she will also have some worries about happiness.

But the more important thing is how to complete the work better. Fortunately, she has a very good memory ability, which is the so-called perfect memory ability.

There are certain patterns and quantities of products with expiration dates in supermarkets. As long as you record the expiration dates of all edible products in advance, and then subtract the quantities sold daily and normal losses, you can easily understand and allocate yourself every day. workload.

Sometimes there will be some ups and downs due to discounts, special offers, free guatai and other activities, but generally it is still in a relatively stable state.

Similarly, it seems that because of this complete memory ability, her brain needs to consume a lot of energy all the time.

Perhaps this is why Index is always hungry and not full.

"As long as I keep all the information in my head, nothing will be difficult for me."

It seemed that she had gained a useful experience, and the confident Index could not help but puff up her chest. She was indeed the most suitable person for this kind of work.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen the garden?"

"Shouldn't Sonoko be in school at this time?"

His eyes widened, and then he showed some suspicious expressions.After coming back to her senses, Index seemed to have a strange feeling from the bottom of her heart towards a girl who was getting closer and closer to her.

The familiar meatball head, the height of less than 1.5 meters, and the skinny and barren figure, a series of characteristics are consistent.

It's just that she can't seem to see the other person's face clearly. Is this because her eyesight has deteriorated due to being too close to the machine while watching TV recently.

Moreover, the school uniform that the other party was wearing has also changed, but I heard that today seems to be the season change of school uniforms, and even Touma has changed into a new uniform.

Everyone has new clothes to wear, but she doesn't...

"Index, Index."

It seemed that Natsume's breathing became a little faster because she had accelerated her pace, and she walked into the sight of a certain little nun with a happy face.

As Natsume Sonoko got closer, the original blur in her vision gradually disappeared, and she returned to her normal appearance, a poor girl with gauze covering her head.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble or curious eyes, Natsume-san still maintained his usual style, but sometimes it was divided into total invisibility and partial blurring.

And after finding Index, there is no need to hide yourself deliberately.

"Yuanzi, why are you injured? You look so serious."

Index let out a exclamation, obviously startled, and a little too worried.

The shape of a certain bun is really bad, and it can easily remind people of very bad things.

"Those are not important."

"Index, guess what I found? I found Feng Zhan Hinghua's classmate."

A certain meathead couldn't help but show a proud expression on his face, as if he was expecting Index's reaction.She doesn't like others to pay attention to her injuries, she just comes here to share the things that make her happy.

But things seemed to be a little different from what she thought. She originally thought that Index would be very happy, but instead she was met with a very serious face.

"Patients must have a good rest."

"Coming out like this without saying a word will cause trouble to many people."

Looking at a certain girl with a round head, Index spoke seriously, as if she had special experience with this.

Chapter 484 Reincarnation

The arm was slightly bent, and a strong little hand was pulling Natsume-san forward. There was no need to worry about bumps and bumps along the way. Index showed great talent in taking care of patients.

After leaving her job in the supermarket, the little nun put on her nun uniform and ran out with someone, and then went straight to the No. 18 school district where Feng Zhan Binghua was suspected to have appeared.

"The magic-related information you described Sonoko is too little to form a specific guide to the classics, but it can still be attributed to some Shinto magic classics circulated in the island country, such as "Momotaro" and "The Tale of Genji", and the contents of this type of books The source is probably Taoist magic classics such as "Baopuzi" and "The Book of Changes"."

"Perhaps due to some historical reasons, the island country's magic thoughts suffered a huge setback. The original local religious magic began to decline and be lost. On the contrary, some schools that are good at absorbing and assimilating have been preserved into the modern era. The most typical one is Amakusa Qi, where Kanzaki is located. Now he is completely a member of the Christian religion."

Instilling knowledge about magic into a certain meathead, Index didn't mind sharing some of what she knew with her friends, especially while waiting for the traffic light on the main road.

In fact, she was very happy that Natsume-kun asked her such questions, which represented a kind of trust between the two parties.

And just like his various clumsy behaviors on the science side, Marukotou-san, who is a high-risk weapon on the science side, is equally clumsy and adorable when it comes to magic.

She doesn't even understand the nature of magic, and she is even more confused about rituals, secret codes, spiritual equipment and other information. Until now, she only knows a rough definition.

To put it simply, it's like some magical girls can't understand the instructions for a washing machine.

But Natsume-san is different from those magical girls. Although she can't understand it now, her other self should be able to understand it.

When I was browsing the dreams of the miko lady, I could often detect some supernatural things. If I think about it carefully, this was probably the power that Hitomi had mastered.

In short, since it is not science, it can be classified as magic. Natsume-san just understands this wonderful world superficially.

But Natsume Sonoko is unwilling to delve too deeply into those things, or try to accept Hitomi's understanding of her own magic and the world, or even talk about learning the other person's magical ability.

As long as she tries to understand the power of Miss Hitomi, many things that she originally took for granted will deviate. Once she fully accepts it, she will no longer be able to exist as an ability user in her perception.

This is fundamentally different from the series of unscientific things she had seen before. Simply knowing and choosing to understand are two completely different things.

Once you deeply understand that this world is not scientific, the worldview that Natsume-san built based on this will also collapse.

Although this worldview itself is as precarious as a castle on the beach, and the base of the castle is an even more unreliable traveler identity, this is also the self-positioning she finally achieved.

However, the world does not seem to want Natsume to let her lazy temperament lead her to the point where she must face the facts time and time again, looking forward to the day when she can truly understand her own heart and step out of the so-called comfort zone.

"Speaking of which, Sonoko, why are you suddenly so interested in magic? Many people in this city get sleepy when they hear other people talk about magic theories."

"By the way, it's obviously Yuanzi from the science side, but he has a spiritual outfit given to him by someone else. It's also very suspicious."

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Index muttered thoughtfully. Naturally, she was talking about a certain amulet on Natsume-san's body.

Although it is just a good luck charm with some traces of magic, such products can often be called spiritual equipment on the magic side, and they are also passive spiritual equipment similar to her 'Mobile Church' nun uniform. Of course, the level It is far inferior to the above.

"I just thought I should find out."

"I've encountered some very strange things and want to try to find the answers."

There was some hesitation on his face, but Natsume-san spoke anyway.

Accepting anomalous knowledge carries great risks as stated before.

However, since she chose to get to know the miko lady, she has already made a decision this time. Natsume-san wants to deal with various problems in her own body.

And once you continue to read dreams, the opportunities for such abnormal exposure to knowledge will only increase, until Natsume-san completely accepts the fact that his worldview has been reshaped.

"Something strange? Is it a secret that cannot be told to others?"

After taking a serious look at the ball head, Index asked curiously.

"It's not a secret. It's just not convenient to tell others."

"The dictionary says this is what secret means." Index said seriously.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just suddenly had an inexplicable premonition. Well... it's like I was a magician in my previous life. Index, do you believe in reincarnation?"

Natsume-san said after a while, and came up with a piece of plausible information.

There was nothing she couldn't tell others. Kamijou-senpai didn't hide the power of his right hand, and Index didn't hide anything from the hundreds of thousands of pornographic books in her head.

It's just that she doesn't know what to say, and is worried about whether she will be regarded as crazy or something, and sometimes she likes to keep things in her heart.

"Reincarnation?"

Index on the side first recalled a series of necromancy magic in ancient Egypt, and subconsciously compared it with Natsume's classmate's increasingly thin body.

Immediately afterwards, his head was filled with some Buddhist and Taoist classics, and of course some Christian books, and he nodded vigorously.

Of course I believe it, isn’t this common sense?

In many magic and even religious teachings, humans will exist in another form after death.

According to Christian belief, humans will be judged by God after death.

In Buddhism, there is a concept of reincarnation.

In Taoist classics, this part of the idea has actually been absorbed and derived from the emergence of immortality or ascension, not to mention other magic books that worship death.

All in all, according to the nature of the forbidden world, once there are so many thoughts and consciousnesses pointing to collective activities such as reincarnation of the dead, then it is very likely that the corresponding concepts extended by such collective activities will really exist. .

And once such a concept exists, then heaven, hell, underworld, underworld, etc. may all appear, and then become specific phases mixed in the boundless ocean of phases.

In this way, it is not that these concepts exist in the world itself, but that everyone feels that they are so natural, and they can even control the formation or manifestation of concepts with the help of some tools or specific methods.

This kind of overly bizarre world setting can often be attributed to miracles. For magicians, it is probably the origin of various ritual-related magics.

Perhaps even whether the soul will exist can be speculated in this way. Once a large number of humans or higher-level creatures believe that the soul exists, then it is not necessarily true that it exists.

Chapter 485 Genuine

Before meeting Feng Zhan, they were having a heated discussion, but the two sides did not come up with any substantive results.

Even though the dead and reincarnation exist, there is no statement indicating the existence of such things as past lives. Index continued to say something with great certainty.

It seems to be a contradictory statement, but it is actually a well-known thing on the magic side.

There is no mainstream magic book or concept that believes that a newly born person will have a connection with another person who originally died, and the relationship between the two has been completely severed during reincarnation.

Also because of the concept of reincarnation and the existence of corresponding phases, the dead, who would have inevitably disappeared into thin air in the physical universe, have become surreal.

In this world, there are even ghosts that have been residing in the physical universe due to some unknown conditions.

"So that's it. There is no such thing as a past life."

Somewhat absent-mindedly agreeing with Index's opinion, Natsume Sonoko felt confused for a while.

Although she didn't agree with some of Index's opinions, she still didn't make any refutation after all. She didn't know as much as Index.

Thinking about this, it is connected with the previous statement that souls are like bonds. Maybe it is not reincarnation, but the two people are connected together by the soul of the suspected traveler, and are shaped into the appearance and appearance that will inevitably appear. form.

But if it wasn't soul reincarnation, then how did he come about? Could it be that he was also cloned?Then the soul and consciousness are transferred.

But in that case, why don't I have any memory of that miko lady?

Also, as I have encountered before, there is an obvious gap between Natsume Sonoko and her own soul. What kind of possibility does the two things being clearly separated represent?
