People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

"Chairman?"

Qin Xuan kept extending his hand, "Someone is spying on you using a method similar to psychic vision."

Chapter 345 "The excitement belongs to others"

"Hey, don't be anxious. The other party has already asked for trouble."

Qin Xuan saw that Changguang was about to contact the security department and stopped him, saying, "Besides, if it's psychic vision, the opponent's physical distance is quite far, so it's meaningless to track him down... Well, he's quite arrogant and doesn't hide it. He actually wanted to analyze the 'Curse of the Abyss' directly, but... he was directly bounced back by this thing according to the cause and effect of the spell. He's really arrogant. It seems that he has some kind of guarantee to ensure that he will not be damaged."

“In that case…” Changguang was a little hesitant. It seemed that the other party had discovered the key to the experiment here?

"Don't worry. That guy doesn't know the whole picture of what you are doing. To be more precise, he should have shifted all his attention to the thing in your hand. From this point of view, even if he continues to act, he will not become an obstacle. Instead, he will become a helper to our experiment."

"Ah..." Changguang thought about what Qin Xuan had emphasized before, "You said we need 'proof from the enemy', is this what you mean?"

"Yes, only when the ideals we represent transcend the great enemies, disasters, and trials that are completely opposed to humanity can they be established as our human principles. And it is the 'base material' responsible for making the 'new enemy of human principles'... If the other party is anxious, they may even deliver the chess pieces in their hands to us."

"I see. Science defeats myth...? Is this also why you envisioned that the AIM diffusion field, a special scientific representation, could become the basis for the new human principle?"

"Yes, the premise is that... the imaginary phase we preset can really exert the potential as we imagined..."

--------

Xilin didn't know that the almighty General Council, the entity that governs all areas of Academy City, was discussing her.

Xilin had discovered that her ability seemed to be able to affect this virtual world. No... it might be too early to call it a virtual world. If possible, Xilin hoped that the people moving around here were beings with real self-awareness and personality, rather than puppets that she could influence.

At this moment, she was walking on a street that was as thin as paper and rippled, and it was similar to a street next to a school. She looked at the pairs of parents and students passing by with a complicated expression.

Thinking back...she should have had someone like her parents, no, a mother? Yes, in the remaining part of her mind, Xilin did have an impression of someone as gentle as her mother.

Xilin's eyes were fixed on a single mother who was standing in the distance. Could it be someone like her?

No, maybe their identities were similar and their feelings for the child were correct, but something seemed wrong. The mother seemed to be standing there intact, but this was not her mother after all... Her mother was also an ordinary person. Her mother should have long brown hair, wearing a headscarf and a loose, not-at-all-gorgeous long dress.

Xilin inadvertently immersed herself in her fantasy about her mother. She imagined the scene of meeting her mother, and the daily life of living, laughing, and playing with her mother. Her emotional fluctuations seemed to be permeated by the illusory phases around her, and then spread in the street. The single mother waiting there, no -

Suddenly, Xilin rubbed her eyes. Did she really become the mother in her mind?

No, no, no, it was just an illusion of birth. How could a real mother really appear...

"——School is finally over. Fortunately, I came early." The "mother" in front of her said the lines that Xilin had imagined, just as she had planned. "How are you doing in school recently? Have you listened to your teacher? Oh, why are you crying? Uh, did your classmates bully you? Don't cry, your face will look ugly if you cry."

"..." Xilin felt a strong emotion surge up. Her sadness, her regret, and the negative emotions she had experienced alone in a laboratory all disappeared at this moment. Ah, just in this scene, the girl in front of her was undoubtedly her own——

"mom!"

It wasn't Xilin who called out.

Xilin was startled. A voice came from behind her, and then a little purple-haired girl who looked exactly like Xilin ran over. She passed through her like an illusory image and threw herself into the arms of her "mother".

Thus, the scene of the encounter between a mother and daughter, just as Xilin had imagined in her mind before, was undoubtedly presented before her at this moment.

'...So that's how it is.' A strong sense of loss replaced all the intense emotions in her heart. At the same time, Xilin also realized that these were just the products of her own delusion. The real mother did not exist. Moreover...she had arbitrarily imposed her pathetic delusion on others, and then changed their appearance, personality, and behavior...which was neither correct nor meaningful.

The warmth of family... belongs to others. I have nothing.

Xilin forced herself to suppress the bitterness rising in her heart, turned around and stopped looking at the mother and daughter in front of her. She walked in the opposite direction, to a school called Wuqiu Girls' College.

----------

Reality phase.

Kazuko Tadokoro hugged her daughter who had just finished school at the school gate. The scene was no different from usual.

"......Huh?"

Kazuko Tadokoro was suddenly stunned and looked past her children towards the school gate.

"Mother?"

"I always feel like there was something there... Well, it's nothing, maybe it's just an illusion. Let's go home."

----------

At the same time, Kiana once again sat on the side weakly. She never expected that the cat boss would introduce her to a place where she could use her abilities to her heart's content. However, it was not a competition... but moving bricks! Damn, how was this different from moving bricks at school!

The situation that Boss Cat described was this: "Recently, Academy City's logistics system has been a little strained, and the transportation capacity has been mobilized to some secret transportation. Oh, don't ask about this, it's a business secret. In short, these normal logistics will be slightly delayed. In order to improve efficiency and complete orders, we have to rely on extra labor to help!"

"——Tsk, I'm just a courier. It's not like I haven't done that before!"

In the end, she agreed. Kiana took advantage of her free time to lean on the "chair" made of large boxes and said, "Let me see the location of the next order. It's the 18th school district, Wuqiu Girls' College."

Chapter 346 Can You See Me?

After arriving at Kirigaoka Girls' College, Kiana suddenly found that her career as a courier might be interrupted again by some unexpected incident.

What should I do? If Boss Cat knew, he wouldn't blame me, right? ...No, the point is how long this situation will last. I have to return to the dormitory of St. Freya Academy before night.

Kiana looked at the purple-haired little girl beside her. She was wandering around ignoring Kiana's feelings, as if she was a newborn baby who had never seen anything... Kiana began to feel inexplicably conflicted.

How did things develop to this point? It all started 30 minutes ago.

It is said that Xilin stayed in this place called Wuqiu Girls' College. She decided not to walk around anymore... Maybe there was no point in walking around. She was just an irrelevant who had no place of her own and would occasionally make trouble.

In Wuqiu Girls' College, she also has no place of her own, but Xilin has now discovered that her thoughts can affect this "illusory world". As long as she has a thought, some things will begin to change with her thoughts. For example...

The student ID card in front of me.

'Xilin, studying in class x, grade x, enrolled on..., student number..., ability...'

Xilin gently touched the certificate in her hand. This was the only appropriate means for her to gain a position in this world without infringing on the lives of others.

Not affecting others and only modifying a single insignificant background required her to try her best to avoid unnecessary operations due to some possible emotional fluctuations. To be honest, it took her a lot of effort to achieve this possibility.

"But this is already the limit," Xilin looked at the 'classmates' around her who passed by as if they didn't see her, and seemed not to notice her existence at all.

What has changed? Actually, some things have changed. For example, students started to gather in groups of two or three. Sometimes they talked and built relationships, and sometimes they started to discuss the so-called "ghost student", that is, Xilin.

"——It just became a topic of conversation."

Xilin was not satisfied, just like some people who became word-of-mouth after death, that was because they had walked a lifetime and left traces, they existed in themselves. But she was the opposite, needing step-by-step information to construct and prove her existence.

"...It's just half-baked."

Xilin snorted and walked out of the classroom, walking aimlessly towards the busy school gate.

Suddenly, a very conspicuous and loud voice came from the front and called out -

"Excuse me - please make way!" The white-haired ball ran quickly holding a large box, and then, as if he noticed Xilin, he turned flexibly and avoided Xilin who was standing there without moving.

"......Hey, seriously, why are there still people blocking the main entrance?" Kiana's voice gradually faded away.

——Did she see me?

In stark contrast to Kiana's feelings, Xilin was thinking about another question. She then looked around and found that no one noticed her standing in the center, and no one made way for her.

Is it true? Can anyone see me?

Xilin has lived in this imaginary city for so long. From her initial experiences to now when she has "settled down" as a student, she has always been living a life of self-entertainment... perhaps a life that is more lonely and bitter.

How about... go and confirm it?

"That's right, this time, this time, it must not be an illusion!"

Xilin cheered herself up.

----------

So, when Kiana wanted to find a place on the street to buy a drink and rest, she was pestered by Xilin.

"H... hello?"

Xilin poked Kiana's face tentatively. At that moment, Kiana was pouring a drink into her mouth, gulping it down like a whale drinking. Then, Xilin poked her head and it tilted.

“Poof!… Cough, cough, cough, cough…”

Kiana was choked instantly, and it took her a while to recover. "Ha... Hey, what are you doing? You are so uneducated. Even a child shouldn't be so naughty. Where are your parents? Didn't they teach you to be polite in public?"

That being said, Kiana herself is actually the most uneducated student in St. Freya Academy, a school for young ladies.

"Uh-huh... excuse me, I just wanted to ask if you could see me? Also... I don't have any parents."

"what?"

Kiana's anger suddenly dissipated. She felt like she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked. No parents? Was she a child from an orphanage?

"——Actually, uh... it wasn't a big deal just now. I just choked a little, it's not a big deal at all, haha." Kiana took the initiative to hold Sirin's hand. The two of them touched each other, and Sirin could really feel the entity. "Look, aren't you here fine? I can see it clearly."

Then she called out to the uncle who owned the beverage store in the distance: "Hey - Uncle owner! Can you see the purple-haired girl next to me?"

She was responded with a loud, unpleasant voice: "I can see it clearly! And uncle, I'm just anxious about it, it's not to the point of being dizzy!" Then she complained a few more times like "Why are female students nowadays so impolite?", which made the clerk inside laugh.

"Hey, did you see that? I don't know why you're asking this, but are you just too lonely (in the orphanage)...?"

Is it true? Is it true? Is it true?

Xilin looked at everything around her in surprise. Has she arrived at the real reality?

When did the switch from fantasy to reality begin?

She had no idea what was going on. Strong emotions had already filled her young brain. Like a newborn baby, Xilin stared at this real world with brilliant colors and complex and disordered sounds.

"...Thank you! If possible, could you go shopping with me?"

Kiana agreed to this almost easy request without much thought.

"Okay, no problem, but remember to go home when you're done shopping."

However, she did not expect that Xilin was so enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that the tour lasted until the night, and she encountered the first test since she became a person with special abilities.

Chapter 347 Biosolute Concentration Calculator

A secret research institute under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Evolution.

Mebius walked alone in the corridor, with the cold light from above his head shining down. His dark green hair cast shadows on the floor like his slender torso and lush branches.

Drop drop drop.

Her portable instrument issued an automatic reminder sound.

[Doctor, you have been working for more than 36 hours in a row. According to the human health management plan, you need to get enough sleep to restore your body's functioning state.]

"Not for now, I still need to do a calculation." Mobius replied coldly. This AI started to act on its own again. The mandatory health measures on the terminal were effective for every employee in Academy City, including directors like her. Of course, it was good for ordinary people, because the mandatory management directly eliminated the "overtime culture" that was prevalent in various work units, making the "unspoken rule of voluntary overtime" implied by some leaders invalid in Academy City.

But Mobius is not from Japan, and she didn't drag anyone else along. She just wanted to do things on her own. How annoying.

"If you do this again, I will use my authority as a member of the board of directors to stop your unwarranted interference."

[Doctor, this is the fifth time you have used director-level authority this month. After judging your abuse of authority, this machine believes it is necessary to report it to the chairman.]

The AI ​​program in directors like Mobius is not an ordinary model, but is connected to a part of Prometheus's functions. As an AI that is "not rigid", Prometheus knows how to use interpersonal relationships to a certain extent.

"You, you wait a moment......!"

The call was connected in an instant.

The chairman's voice came through the device: "Mebius, are you working overtime again?"

"Oh, what a meaningless question. For me, working overtime or not doesn't matter at all—"

Quickly calming himself, Mobius lifted his hair, and vaguely visible under his white coat was a pale body and... an inhuman black shadow emerging.

"——You also know, right? With my body functions, I don't need to be tired at all. I can automatically repair myself when I'm injured, and I can automatically replenish my nutrition when I'm hungry. My physical strength is endless. Didn't you foresee this when you specially transformed me from the beginning?"

Mebius stretched out his hand, and the black shadow on his hand rose quietly, transforming into a densely packed and strangely uneven shape that was difficult to see clearly.

There, numerous, huge, and immeasurable genes, polypeptide chains, and base sequences are brewing, and then countless organisms are generated. From a smaller and more comprehensive perspective, it is a miniature ecosystem.

"......Hmm?" The chairman's slightly surprised voice came from the other end of the communication. Although Mobius did not transmit any images, the chairman immediately knew what Mobius had done. "I remember that you knew that you could perfectly control your body... But this kind of operation requires a lot of real-time calculations, right? Have you started to make unknown changes to yourself again?"

"What do you mean by unknown transformation? It's just a trial use of a device used in our 'Science Phase' project on myself."

At the same time, Mebius opened the door deep in the corridor, and the top-secret scene inside appeared before her. It was a huge container, which seemed to be a tank filled with solution with some function.

“-Oh, a shading computer?” The chairman obviously thought of something.
