Artoria wants to read people's hearts

"It's not too early now, if you encounter any trouble, I will be happy to help you."

After the girl wearing military goggles heard these words, she turned her head and stared at Artoria's side face, but neither her expression nor her gaze showed the slightest wave.

But strangely, Arturia read a hint of doubt from it, turned her head and smiled at the girl, and in order to dispel her vigilance, she explained, "My name is Artoria Pan Dragon, please forgive my abruptness, I am not a bad person."

After she finished speaking, she paused, "The reason why I talked to you is because you and a friend I know look too much alike."

The word 'too similar' is actually not an appropriate description. The girl and Mikoto can't be said to be irrelevant, but they are exactly the same.

Perhaps it was because her explanation just dissipated some girls' wariness, and the other party nodded, and then said, "I'm Misaka 10032, Miss Pendragon, it's a pleasure to meet you, beep, Misaka follows the social etiquette tutorial responded correctly."

The girl's voice was flat without any ups and downs. Coupled with the strange ending of her sentence just now, she seemed like a robot without any emotion.

It's really a very strange feeling. Looking at the girl up close, Artoria can feel an inexplicable discord from her body.

And the name......

Misaka 10032, the first time she heard it, she had an ominous premonition.

After a little hesitation, she spoke again, "This..., uh,... Miss Misaka No. 10032."

This name doesn't sound like a serious person's name, so Arturia called it a little awkwardly.

"Please forgive my offense, do you know a girl named Misaka Mikoto?"

There must be a relationship between the two of them. After all, not only do they look the same, they even have the same surname, but Artoria still doesn't understand what kind of relationship they are.

After all, if they were twin sisters, with Misaka Mikoto's personality, it would be impossible not to introduce them to these friends before. Adding the number 10032, it felt like the number of some laboratory. No matter how she thought about it, she felt a little abnormal.

Chapter 41 Misaka 10032: This is a confidential matter

"Misaka Mikoto is an older sister, beep, Misaka explained to the other party."

Perhaps it was because of Artoria's appearance and temperament that it was easy to gain the favor of others, or maybe the girl was not very vigilant, so she easily believed that the other party was not a bad person.

"sister?"

Repeating it in disbelief, Arturia turned her head to look at Misaka 10032, her eyes were widened in surprise, and that blank look made the girl look a little cute.

"Yes, Misaka Mikoto is my sister, beep, Misaka repeated it again for sure."

"........."

Hearing this sentence, Artoria blinked her eyes, and she couldn't help feeling a little emotional in her heart, "My lord, the young girls nowadays really know how to play." '

"Then..." She coughed lightly, and changed the subject, "Ms. Misaka 10032, it's almost time for 'completely dismissed', sitting here alone and not going home, what happened to you?" Are you in such trouble? If I can, I'd be happy to help a lovely lady like you."

However..........

"I didn't encounter any trouble..." the girl said, then shook her head, "I came out this time because there are experimental tasks that need to be completed, beep, Misaka did it in order to reassure the other party's doubts." There's an explanation."

.......Experimental mission?

These four words are really easy to give people bad associations.

Artoria frowned indistinctly, and she took another serious look at the other party.

Although generally speaking, there is not much difference between the girl and Mikoto, but if you carefully observe the details, you can find that the girl's pupils are very dazed, as if she has not focused her attention on any focus.

Gloomy, this word can perfectly describe the state of the other party's eyes.

Like a three-no girl who came out of a film and television drama, she has no words, no heart and no expression. This appearance may inexplicably arouse the excitement of certain people.

"......Can you tell me what your experimental mission is?"

An inexplicable premonition lingered in her heart at this moment, and her intuition told her that it would be better to find out what the experiment was about.

However, after asking this sentence, the girl who called herself Misaka No. 10032 suddenly paused. She turned her head and looked at Arturia with inorganic eyes.

In the next second, a series of unordered letters and numbers came out of her mouth, "ZXC741 ASD852 QWE963`, beep, Misaka confirms the password in this way."

"........what?"

Arturia was taken aback for a moment, her green eyes were dazed, she looked at the brown-haired girl helplessly, expressing her inability to understand the string of characters she just said.

"Miss Pendragon is indeed not a person involved in the experiment, so I can't answer your question just now."

After Misaka 10032 said this, he turned his head and stopped looking at Artoria.

Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of the string of passwords, since the girl announced the string of numbers and letters, she became more and more concerned about this matter in her heart.

"........."

After a moment of silence, Artoria carefully pondered her words, and after two or three minutes, she asked again, "You said you were going to do an experiment today, so what time does the experiment start?"

"This is a confidential matter."

Because the password was not verified successfully, the girl refused to answer this question without even thinking about it.

"Then I'll change it, where are you going to conduct the experiment?"

Seeing that this question didn't work, she tilted her head and thought for a while, before asking another different question.

"This is also a confidential matter."

The same words, the same expression, even without any ups and downs in the voice, when answering Artoria's questions, the girl behaved like a robot.

"...Can you tell me, what is the purpose of this experiment?"

"This is also a confidential matter."

In the next few minutes, she tried to inquire about the experiment from various angles, but she was dismissed by the girl's sentence "This is a confidential matter".

As if wasting time, Arturia made no progress at all.

"what........."

A deep sigh escaped from the corner of her mouth, and Arturia supported her forehead with her hands, and finally gave up the unrealistic idea of ​​getting news from the girl's mouth.

It's not that she doesn't work hard, it's that Misaka 10032's tone is too strict, and she can't ask anything.

Taking a deep look at the girl wearing military binoculars, she planned to change her mind to resolve the deadlock.

"Miss Misaka 10032, please don't think I'm wordy, I only have one last question now."

Seeing that the other party turned her head sideways because of this sentence, she slowly asked, "Then, can you tell me the name and level of your superpower?"

After asking this sentence, she couldn't help pursing her lips, and then quietly waited for the other party's answer.

She had a hunch that maybe this time she could get a different and accurate reply from the other party than before.

as predicted.

For this question, Misaka 10032 finally stopped answering the same 'confidential matters'.

"Misaka's superpower is level 2 Radio Noise, beep, Misaka is happy that she can finally answer the above question this time."

It seems that Artoria is not the only one who feels a lot of pressure from the back and forth conversation just now.

"........So this is ah."

Nodding her head, she said thoughtfully, "Your abilities are quite similar to Mikoto's."

Not only the appearance, but even the superpowers of personal reality are so similar, which has to be thought-provoking.

Looking up at the dim sky, Misaka 10032 stood up, turned her head to Arturia who was looking at her because of her actions, and explained.

"It's getting late, and I'm going to participate in the experiment next, so I'm sorry, beep, Misaka said goodbye with regret."

After finishing speaking, she took a step back slightly, and then bowed politely to Artoria.

Chapter 42 Is a girl of this age so quiet?

Seeing that the girl was about to leave, Artoria suddenly stood up and stopped her, "Missaka 10032, please wait a moment."

When Misaka 10032 turned around and looked at her with dull eyes......

Artoria looked at the slender figure with the street lamp on her back, and suddenly felt that the surrounding darkness seemed to swallow the girl in the places that were not illuminated by the light.

Wearing military goggles, Misaka 10032 is like a bubble floating in the air. It looks like it is in front of her eyes, but it breaks when touched, like an illusion.

Is a girl of this age so quiet?

Artoria's eyes were in a daze for a moment, but in the next second, she restrained her mind and refocused on the other party.

Her original intention of calling out to the other party was not that she had anything to say, it was just that she felt a little apprehensive inexplicably when she saw the girl's leaving back. You may never see the other party's premonition again.

This feeling was inexplicable, but it made Artoria feel a little anxious and uneasy, so she didn't think much about it, and she directly called out to stop the other party.

Looking at Misaka 10032 not far away, who was still waiting for her to speak, she closed her eyes slightly to hide the emotion in her eyes.

"........you wait here a moment." She said, her eyes glanced around without a trace, until she saw a vending machine, she paused, and then went to Xia continued, "I spoke to you suddenly before, and it took you so long. Anyway, please let me express my apology."

Of course, this is just an excuse, after all, she needs a reason to explain her abrupt behavior of calling out to the other party just now.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party's response, she turned around and trotted two steps to the vending machine, and took out her little lion wallet from her trouser pocket.

The wallet is light without the slightest weight.

After groping around inside, she finally pulled out a 500-yen steel jumper.

Looking at the silver-white coin in her hand, she couldn't help but sighed softly. She got it from a kind person yesterday. She thought it could improve her life, but it seems... .....

Things that should not be yours will never be yours.

I put 500 yen into the vending machine, and with a bang, a strawberry-flavored soda fell out.

The pink canned drinks cost a total of 120 yen. Of course, she bought it not because it was cheap, but because it was the most normal drink she could find in a vending machine.

Such as watermelon and natto vegetable juice, strawberry oden, soy flour condensed milk soup, black bean apple juice, etc., the drinks of the dance of demons refresh the three views of a person with a normal sense of taste almost every moment.

She had heard from Mikoto that it was because Academy City was actually an experimental city, and most of the products manufactured in countless universities and research institutions required actual testing.

Therefore, the entire city is full of experimental products, such as automatic food waste disposal machines, self-operating security robots, and so on.

Even the products displayed in convenience stores and vending machines are different from those in other cities......

.........That's right.

But Artoria really wanted to ask these decision makers, didn't they ever think that the people living in Academy City are also consumers who also spend money to buy things?

Moreover, the words "Experimental City" really sounded unfavorable.

Artoria bent down to pick up the strawberry soda, and used this action to hide the gloomy look in her eyes. The experiment Misaka 10032 said, the dark side of Academy City, and the whole city are The reality of the experimental field, all of this had to make her feel a little concerned.

Holding the drink she bought in her hand, she walked up to Misaka 10032 who was waiting, and handed the strawberry soda to the girl.

"Do you really want to give it to me? Duh, Misaka felt incredible, but said happily at the same time."

This child's mouth fetish is really interesting, Artoria couldn't help but chuckled, and uttered all her inner thoughts clearly, she had never seen such a thing.

"Please accept it, it was originally bought for you."

She put the strawberry soda in the other person's hand, "This is an apology, and the price is not expensive. If you don't accept it, I will be very sad."

Although the word "sad" was on his lips, the smile on his face was very soft, and Misaka 10032 knew that this was just an excuse for the other party to accept something for himself.

There is a bit of domineering in the gentleness, but it is not annoying.

"Then I'll accept it, thank you, Du, Misaka tried hard to suppress her happy emotions, and replied as if she didn't care."

It's really interesting, this kid.

The airship in the sky is still floating dedicatedly, and on the big screen in its belly, rows of colorful subtitles are repeating today's news. [Recently, the voltage in some areas of Academy City has been unstable, leading to intermittent power outages and causing huge economic losses. Professionals are now trying their best to investigate the cause......]

The sun has sunk into the bird's nest, and the sky in the distance has become deep and blue. The last touch of orange is soft in the wind, reflecting the stars that have been revealed in the sky and slowly shining slowly.

"Thank you for the strawberry soda, but I really have to leave this time, beep, Misaka said goodbye again with regret."

Holding a canned drink in a pink package in his hand, Misaka 10032 raised his head and looked into Artoria's eyes, "Goodbye (さようなら), Miss Pendragon."

The girl's expression remained unchanged, but from her farewell, Artoria seemed to hear something.

For a rare moment of blurred eyes, which were always as clear as mirrors, she lowered her eyelids, and the streetlights shone on her body, making her look a little hazy. After a few seconds of silence, her eyelashes finally trembled slightly.

"Goodbye, Miss Misaka 10032."

Tree shadows were mottled on the other side of the bench, and the girl wearing military goggles drifted away.

Artoria stood where she was, her green eyes stared at her back without blinking.

However............

When the girl's distance reached the point where she was about to leave her sight, she suddenly stepped up to follow.
