I am the celebration monster of Academy City

As if thinking of something interesting, Chuchun Shili covered her mouth and snickered.

"As long as you don't mention this, Chuchun, we'll still be good friends..."

As soon as she mentioned this, Saten Renko helplessly stretched out her hands to cover her face.

When I think about walking on the street with my friends, some idiots pop out from nowhere, respectfully bow to me, and shout "big sister head" in unison, just thinking about it makes people despair .Is this a Yakuza organization that came out of somewhere?Are you the leader of some extreme organization?

It was rare to see Saten Ruiko deflated, Uiharu Rishi laughed even more happily.She has no intention of stopping at all!

He noticed that there seemed to be a hint of dangerous sharpness vaguely revealed in the hands of Saten Renko covering his face.

Chuchun Shili hastily straightened his face, with an attitude of "the topic just now is over, let's discuss a new topic".

"So, what aspect is Saten-san concerned about? This urban legend has not exposed any bad incidents, or caused some large-scale impact, right?"

Saten Leiko sighed faintly.Staring at Chuchun Shili, who was holding back her laughter, stared at her for more than ten seconds before letting her go.

"It's not about that."

From the bag on one side, Saten Ruiko took out a tablet, opened the tablet and transferred a picture.

It was a hand-drawn drawing, which seemed to be a man.

However, this picture seems to be closer to the clothing sketch.The man was wearing a silver and gray hooded coat, and a beret was slanted on his head.

"This is an image of the so-called white phantom drawn based on the so-called eyewitness testimony, removing all differences, and combining similar items."

"Hmm... is there a problem with this?"

"I think... I probably know this outfit... I saw it somewhere..."

Chapter 3 Idle is idle

"..."

Uiharu Shuri didn't react immediately to what Saten Ruiko said.

Frankly speaking, although I have heard of this urban legend that has suddenly become popular in recent days, I really don't know much about Shiri Uiharu.

Throughout the Third World War, the guards and disciplinary committee members were busier than expected, and now after the end of the third world war, the guards and disciplinary committee members are not much easier.

If it is said that what needs to be paid attention to during the war is the armament of the entire war, then now it is to seal up or destroy those weapons that have been prepared but have not yet been put into use.

The various research institutes and security guards are responsible for transportation and storage, but all trivial work is left to the discipline committee members.

Compared with the security guards who need to be on high alert, the discipline committee members who deal with these trivial matters are actually busier.

As for the more details of this urban legend, it was only after Saten Leizi suddenly came to ask for help, and Uiharu Shili learned about it during the investigation.

[It feels like ghosts appearing in various places in Academy City...]

[The more remote the place, the more you can meet]

[Can get enlightenment or prophecy about the future from the White Phantom...]

[White Phantom seems to be investigating something, so I obtained various information through exchange...]

Indistinguishable claims like this are full of urban legends.But if you think about it seriously, there is no essential difference from the past urban legends.

It feels like an urban legend produced on the assembly line suddenly exploded due to some accidental factors.

But now, seeing Saten Ruiko's slightly complicated expression, plus what Saten Ruiko said.

Chuchun Shili shook his head slightly, as if inspired, an idea suddenly appeared in Chuchun Zhuli's mind.

"Could it be that……"

Could it be that he didn't say this, but a notification sound suddenly sounded on the computer behind him.

The two looked towards the computer subconsciously. The progress bar had come to an end, and the prompt box indicating that the analysis had been completed was quite conspicuous.

The two of them left their half-eaten dinner behind and returned to the front of the computer in three steps.

As Hatsuharu unfolded the results of the analysis, a large number of dialogue windows popped up one after another on several computer screens nearby.

But soon, these windows were merged one after another, turning complicated and cumbersome information into simpler information.

Chuchun Shiri's hand moved quickly, and the image on the computer screen was reflected in her eyes.

Saten Ruiko at the side didn't make a sound to disturb Uiharu Shiri.Seeing Chuchun Shili's serious work expression, she knew that Chuchun Shiri probably understood her thoughts.

"how is this possible……"

Suddenly, Uiharu Shiri's hand stopped and made an unbelievable sound.

"how?"

"First of all...the source of this urban legend...Although there is a natural evolution, or a joke or something that suddenly becomes an urban legend.

But as long as you search carefully, you can also find the prototype and source in the huge amount of information.

Judging from my search method, as long as it is an urban legend born in Academy City, even if the precise source cannot be found, it is still possible to lock in a rough range. "

"However, this urban legend can't be found where it started to spread, nor when it broke out, right?"

Uiharu Shiori didn't finish his words, but Saten Ruiko spoke as if she had expected something.

Nodding slightly, Uiharu Shiri's hand started moving again.It's just that it's much slower than the hand speed just now.

Compared with analyzing huge data and materials, now it is more like the kind of work to show the necessary parts for others to see.

"Then, there are those locations that claim to have seen white phantoms. Except for a few that have been 100% confirmed, the rest...

Judging from the model, they are all fake.No, not necessarily all of them are fake. If they are fake, it is impossible to become the current situation.Could it be that the model has misanalyzed?Misjudging what could have been a real location was wrong? "

"It may also be induced to deceive."

"Uh..." Chuchun Zhuli swallowed slowly.

She didn't look at Saten Ruiko.

"Yes...Senior Gan Quan is right."

Saten Ruiko unconsciously bit her lower lip, and didn't answer right away.

"Saten-san once said that urban legends are also part of the information management and control of Academy City, and many urban legends are intentionally spread and controlled.

And Saten-san's statement came from senior Ganquan.If it's Senior Ganquan...you must be able to use this theory more effectively, right?

If it is Senior Ganquan, it is not surprising that he can achieve this level.

We know Kanizumi-senpai. If other people don't know Ganquan-senpai, even if they are interested in this urban legend, they will come to the conclusion that there is no problem after investigating here, so we feel relieved. "

"Uh..." In the end, as if the final word was finalized, Hatsuharu Shiri gave decisive evidence.

"And then, Saten-san must have been taking care of Jenny and Febri until now. Senpai...has disappeared for almost a month."

"Still as sharp as ever..."

Saten Ruiko sighed slightly.

No longer look at the analysis results on the computer.Even after analyzing for so long, Uiharu Shiri worked so long.

But I'm sorry, this set itself seems to be carefully designed, and the results used for this kind of analysis have no meaning.Saten Ruiko leaned against the computer and sat lightly on the edge of the table.

"Jenny and Phoebe... are almost unbearable. They...really depend on the master."

"What about the senior?"

Saten Saten shook her head lightly.

Chuchun Shili's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How is this possible? The senior handed Jenny and Phoebe into the care of Saten-san, but Saten-san doesn't know where the senior is?"

"After all, he is a master."

Saten Ruiko scratched her face with some regret.

"Master told me a lot of things, and explained a lot of things. This even includes the possibility of an abnormal transfer of our rider last time. However, all of this does not include where the master himself wants to go and what he wants to do. what part."

"Uh……"

"Master just told me to let me take good care of Jenny and Phoebe. What else did he say that only I can do something in the entire Academy City. It's really a headache, wayward master or something."

Even though she said that, it wasn't a wry smile that surfaced on Saten Reiko's face.

"Saten-san... you're not worried, are you?"

"Yes, both Jenny and Phoebe are very cute and lovely children. They are the type that people can't put it down, so no matter what, I want to spend more time with them and take good care of them They. But it is precisely because of this that I don't want them to show that expression, and I don't want them to feel unhappy."

"What about the senior?"

"Master... Well, that is a very willful guy. There is no way to describe how self-willed. But the master has always been very kind to me, helping me who is incompetent and so on.

So no matter what other people think of Master, what kind of person they think Master is, I will support Master no matter what time it is.After all, that is my master.It's me, the master of a powerless person that no one cares about. "

Speaking of this, Saten Ruiko couldn't help but burst out laughing as if thinking of something interesting.

"Although it was forced by chance and coincidence."

When Saten Reiko said this, Uiharu Shiri also remembered the scene a long time ago, and also couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Saten Ruiko sighed often again.

"Master said, Jenny and Phoebe will be here at the latest on the first day of this month. Those two children are also looking forward to it. But now that the third day is coming to an end, the master doesn't feel like showing up at all."

"That's why Saten-san thinks something happened to the senior?"

"Intuitive."

Subconsciously touched his nose.Saten Ruiko stood up.

He smiled brightly at Uiharu Shiri.

"It's boring anyway, isn't it. So I decided to work a little harder and see if I can find the hidden master."

Chapter 4 Soul Persecution

In the past few days, Misaka Mikoto's mood has not been too high.

It wasn't because he sneaked out of Academy City without permission and then sneaked back.

It’s not that the new equipment that I bought with great difficulty is about to become a piece of scrap iron, because I really don’t have the face to return it, so I specially applied to the school for a warehouse, and I’m going to study it and return it after it’s repaired.

But...

For some other reason.

When the time came to the present and returned to daily life, there was a strange sense of separation.

On October [-]th, what happened that day was only a few hours, but Misaka Mikoto has not been able to fully understand the many contents and huge amount of information displayed in those few hours.

As for what happened on that battlefield, let alone Misaka Mikoto, even Kamijou Touma, who personally participated in it from beginning to end, couldn't see the whole picture clearly.

A very sick feeling.The same thing happened on September [-]th.

I always feel that I have been involved in some huge and terrible event, but I can't see the original appearance of the matter clearly from my own perspective.

From October [-] to now, more than four days have passed.Anxiety gradually accumulated in Misaka Mikoto's heart.

The reason for this...

It's about the two missing people.

Gan Quanyou, praying with Shokuhou.

The former...Frankly speaking, the former Misaka Mikoto is not very worried.That guy is more powerful than Misaka Mikoto imagined.

Although the final battle... should be the final battle, right?Misaka Mikoto couldn't understand the ability he used, but Misaka Mikoto was shocked.So no matter what, that guy should be fine.

What really caught Misaka Mikoto's attention was that annoying Shokuhou Misaki.

Even though he knew that the chances of the other party and Gan Quanyou having problems together were not high, but there was no news of him returning to the normal platform for four or five days, or even the news that he had returned to Academy City, which really made people feel at ease. .Tokiwadai is even ready to start corresponding operations and public relations.

This kind of school operation aggravated Misaka Mikoto's anxiety.

I want to ask why... because that annoying guy was brought out of Academy City by Misaka Mikoto...

Both Yuu Kanizumi and Touma Kamijou have said this to Misaka Mikoto.

The event is over.Will return to Academy City soon.But so far, neither Yuu Kanizumi nor Misaki Shokuhou has returned to Academy City.

Even if he asked Kamijou Touma, he couldn't get any useful reply.The emptiness of not knowing what happened that day made Misaka Mikoto extremely uncomfortable.
