Chapter 490 The truth
When Steele woke up from the same security branch, his mood was a bit broken.
Academy City is too cruel to me.
At the same time, I was also very surprised.
Even if Kanzaki wasn't around last time, why didn't you save me this time?
He looked around him. Sitting in front of him was the female teacher security guard. To his side, Index, leaning against the wall, was staring at him with vigilance and hostility. Next to him, to the left and right, stood the man who knocked him unconscious twice. In the bad scene of Langsen, there is also an unknown junior high school girl wearing a school uniform and short skirt.
Beside him, on the left, Kamijou Touma, who had taken Index in for one night, was sitting like a jury, with his right hand resting on his arm, and his expression seemed a little uncomfortable.
His hands moved, and the handcuffs on his wrists jingled. Steele tried his best to look at Ji Xing with a sultry expression: "You succeeded in a sneak attack again. What, what are you going to do with me this time?"
"No action." Yomikawa Aiho said: "Your companions have been repulsed by us, and we have reported the matter to the director. The next step will be to negotiate with the upper management.
As for now...I have nothing to do. The little nun has told us a lot about magic. How about you tell us about yours? "
"Repulse?" Steel said in a frivolous tone: "Kanzaki? Huh?! Ah, I probably know. Kanzaki is still so soft-hearted and doesn't want to provoke Academy City's security guards, so let's evacuate.
As for magic...are you curious? Then let’s give you some friendly advice first. Don’t take advantage of the 13,000 magic books in Index’s mind. As long as you understand one, the pollution will kill you! "
He diligently plays the role of the villain who bullies Index: "When we recycle her, it is actually good for everyone, both her and you.
It’s not hard to imagine what she would be like if she was caught, right? Torture, torture? She would have to endure unbearable pain to keep the secret, and her casual retelling of the contents of the magic book would bring disaster to others. It is only natural that such items should be recycled. "
“You actually... called her an ‘item’?!”
This attitude successfully aroused everyone's anger. Misaka Mikoto clenched her fists, and Index became even more sad and depressed, viewing him as her enemy.
Stiyl was actually feeling very sad, but the 14-year-old boy's face was full of arrogance and ferocity.
At this moment, a guard suddenly broke in: "Captain Huangquanchuan! The enemy who escaped from the siege appeared outside and is about to come in!"
Stiyl chuckled: "It seems that Kanzaki has obtained the approval of the bishop. I advise you not to stop it. People will really die."
Half a minute later, Kanzaki walked into the guard branch with everyone on guard and said: "Steele, the Grand Archbishop said that he could explain the truth to them."
Steele: “…???”
…
“Are you protecting her?!”
“You were the little nun’s best companions before her memory was erased a year ago?!”
“One hundred and three thousand magic books occupy 85% of her memory. If she doesn’t clear her memory every year, she will die?”
“Are you kidding…”
Surprised questions came one after another, but the eyes still focused on Steele's face, making Steele feel great pain.
Why is Academy City so cruel?
Director, you should have told me to change the script earlier! I just delivered a perfect villain performance!
He was silent for a few seconds and said seriously: "Unlock the handcuffs, I want to have a cigarette."
This reaction said a lot. Kanzaki sent the most critical evidence in a slightly complicated way: "This child cannot use magic and has no superpowers. Why do you think we have been chasing her for a full year and still haven't caught her? Just relying on the 'Mobile Church' she is wearing... Huh? Why is her 'Mobile Church' damaged?!"
“How...could it be like this?” Kamijou Touma, the culprit, moved his hand on Steele in a daze. Yes, what she said made sense.
Yomikawa Aiho's expression was heavy, Misaka Mikoto's expression was strange and confused, and Ji Xing comforted Index's head, which was stunned.
The enemy who was chasing her suddenly said that he was protecting herself, and Index couldn't accept it for a moment.
What’s more important is that according to the other party, clearing the memory is for her own survival and for her own safety, which means that she will have to take the initiative to forget about Touma, forget about the bad scene, and forget about the well-meaning teacher Yomikawa!
Seeing this, Kanzaki's mood became depressed and he ignored the damage to the mobile church for the time being.
Her words were a little intense and emotional: "But there is no way! So... the expiration of one year is very close. Please treat this encounter as a dream and a beautiful memory, and let us take Index away Well. If we meet again next time, she won’t know you either..."
"How is that possible?!" Kamijou Touma immediately retorted excitedly: "There are other ways, there must be! If magic doesn't work, just use science. It doesn't have to be to erase her memory..."
"Wait a minute." Super top student Misaka Mikoto raised a hand and slowly asked in confusion: "Who said... one hundred and three thousand books can occupy 85% of the memory? Each magic book is like a building. Is it heavy? That’s not the case!”
Emotional Kanzaki: “…?”
…
"Is this a lie? A lie made up to prevent Index from betraying the church?!"
After Steele, Kanzaki's worldview also collapsed. If this is a lie, then what have we been doing in the past two years? !
Stiyl's face became even more troubled, and he raised his head suddenly and said: "No! If there is such a thing, how could the greatest bishop..."
Laura's appearance and her usual behavior came to mind. Could it be that she had also been deceived? No, maybe it’s because we found something impossible and deliberately led us in this direction...
In short, is it possible that this is true? !
"No." He looked at Misaka Mikoto: "We can't believe this just because of your statement alone. Give me more evidence!"
Ji Xing spoke at the right time: "I probably know this, but I'm just a scumbag, so I'm not sure."
slacker student? No, you are not a scumbag, Academy City's sixth-ranked Lanhua Yue! Kanzaki looked at him sideways, so the two Academy City Level 5s were proving that Index didn't need to clear her memory?
With a heavy heart, she whispered beside Steele. Steele was suddenly shocked and looked at Ji Xing with a look that said, "You are such an old man." He took a deep breath: "It's not enough. I can't put Indy Kesi’s safety depends on the judgment of these two people, is there a corresponding book?”
The people who had previously called Index an object were now extremely concerned about her, but no one else cared much about it.
Mikoto Misaka tried hard to recall the title of the book, while Aiho Yomikawa said: "No need to bother, Teacher Xiaomeng happens to be in the school, she is an expert."
After a while, the pink-haired cute teacher appeared in the guard branch with his little hands behind his back: "There are many people here, little Kamijou, little Langsen, little nun... What can I do, Mr. Yomikawa?"
Stiyl was stunned: "You...don't tell me that this is Yueyong Xiaomeng? A child?"
"You can't be rude to the teacher." Xiaomeng turned to look at him, and didn't know how to tell, and hummed: "A foreign child, a companion of a little nun? The teacher is already 28 years old this year."
28 years old? For some reason, Steele suddenly remembered a story he had seen while investigating the karate club these days: "APTX...that medicine?"
His eyes instantly focused on Ji Xing.
Xiao Meng was silent and said, "Damn it! Xiao Langsen, take another bite from the teacher! Haha—"
…
After a farce, the pink-haired cute teacher with his hands behind his back gave everyone a lesson, from the brain to the brainstem to the functions of different memories. It was so clear that Touma felt sleepy.
She didn’t know Index’s situation, so halfway through her speech, Steele and Kanzaki looked at each other in silence, with complicated expressions on their faces.
Then why does Index fall into a painful coma every time the one-year period approaches?
I'm afraid a spell has been placed on her body, which will cause her to die if her memory is not cleared in time.
Index, who has mastered the knowledge of one hundred and three thousand magic books, has already reacted on her own initiative and checked her body up and down. Where is it and what kind is it? If I crack that thing, I won’t have to forget everyone! Where? !
Wait a minute, I never saw anything special when I was taking a shower, which proves that... the spell must be in a place that I usually don’t see easily!
Her anxious little face turned red.
Kanzaki said: "Steele, all the men in the room please go out first. I need to check Index's body."
Ten minutes later, after a humiliating inspection, Index discovered... that the location of the curse mark was a rune deep in her throat.
The rune text looks like the number ‘4’.
The truth is revealed!
2k8, the first update tomorrow before 3pm, Qingming Festival, I may have a meal at noon, don’t worry, it’s only been two days, I won’t fall back to the underworld so quickly.
