People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

"Yes," Mobius slowly approached the device that seemed to have nothing to do with computing. "It's an electrolyte computer made from biomass solution. If you use an electric field to move the electrolytes in the solution, you can use it to perform various calculations."

This is the shading computer, a device that performs high-speed calculations based on the entire movement of the fluid. However, in fact, in addition to electrolyte solutions, as long as it is a medium that can be controlled by fluid mechanics, regardless of liquid or gas, including the AIM diffusion field scattered throughout the Academy City, it can be established.

Therefore, the shading computer became part of the plan. If the imaginary phase derived from the AIM diffusion field is to be controlled, an operations center is essential, that is, this shading computer.

"But I remember that the structure of AIM's diffusion field was formed by the interference between those students with special abilities and the force field. At that time, Weiwei thought that the shading computer should be constructed with specially separated fluids to reduce unnecessary mutual influence, but now it seems that this is not the case. Your model seems to have a different structure?"

When Mebius heard the chairman mention her "old competitor", she couldn't help but smile, "I have to admit that Vilvi has a good understanding of engineering safety, but what we are making is not a simple and rigid creation. It should have more energy efficiency and can become the cornerstone of our evolution—"

She stroked the outer wall of the container. "Whether it's superpower development courses, drugs, or indirect stimulation by divine sounds, it's ultimately limited by literacy issues. This city alone has a large number of people without abilities, and their upper limit is obviously insufficient. This is not what I expected. Evolution should belong to all, so... so I changed the structure of the calculation - you see, the shade computer is like a human brain."

Following the direction that Mebius witnessed, ions and electrical signals wandered in the flow of concentration differences. That was a specific calculation model she achieved after conducting research on users with special abilities, comparing the source of the AIM diffusion field with the human brain, and conducting scenario simulation.

According to the theory of magicians, it is the soul that hosts the superpowers of the ability user, which is connected to the body and is the primary driving force of the spell, but Mobius restored it with a large-scale biosolutive computer. This is an oversized spell (ability) generator.

Due to the universality of the light and dark computer medium, if it can really be activated in conjunction with the entire AIM diffusion field, it is simply a wild horse with no output limit that can easily affect the world.

When the chairman pointed this out, Mobius responded, "That's part of the scientific phase. I've said before that I have my own considerations. Using the AIM diffusion field as the medium for the density calculator will cause changes in "pressure". If there is a backflow, it will be dangerous, but its side effects can also be used to interfere with the source - the students. Constructing the smallest unit based on the viscosity and concentration of the fluid will increase the number of calculations per second explosively... This process can also be applied to students."

Chapter 348 The World is Quietly Changing

"To put it simply, if I can adjust the calculation formula of the shading computer, I can also connect to a specific student and optimize and improve that student's calculation (ability level)."

"Wait a minute, how can you be sure that you can..."

The chairman suddenly stopped talking. He only then knew the content of Mobius's transformation of himself. Obviously, before proposing this measure involving the residents of Academy City, she had already conducted corresponding experiments on her body. She was not simply remotely connected to the shading computer, she had already converted the fluid operation mode in her body into that of the shading computer.

"Hmm, this is beyond your expectations, right?"

Mebius wanted to laugh, but suddenly stopped herself. She looked towards the corner, where a figure was sitting silently. It was Floran.

"What are you doing here?"

"...Why?" Flora tilted her head. She sat there quietly, like an ignorant child who didn't understand Mobius' question. It was still too difficult for her to understand the importance of the facilities here, but she was lucky to know that she had to stay quiet.

"——Oh, this is your insurance, right?" The chairman's voice came out, "It is theoretically impossible to approve a risky move, especially a dangerous transformation of oneself at the director level. But with Floran's help, it is not a problem. After all, these abilities all come from the same source."

"......" As if something was exposed, Mebius turned her face away. She looked at the device quietly. The phlegm computer was like a pool of water without ripples, but inside it was actually constantly performing extremely complex signal movements. She gently turned on the switch, and then the bottom rose up. The cushion took her to a special position. She only needed to gently push herself up to throw herself into the "pool" formed by the phlegm computer.

"But, your idea does surprise me a little," the chairman's voice continued, "I originally thought that you would be able to leave these 'mortals' behind for your own evolution - even if it is for the development of Academy City and the students with no abilities, it is only a temporary measure, but now it seems... In your heart, their status seems to be more important?"

"——You think too much. It's not that complicated. The progress of civilization and the evolution of individuals are inseparable..."

Mobius stared at the water surface of the computer in a trance. In fact, she had other ideas. She also thought about looking at the higher scenery alone. Not to mention whether doing so would violate the will of the chairman, she was not sure whether doing so would achieve her wish. The true appearance of the earth under her feet and the starry sky above her head were not what she was familiar with. Developing alone would definitely be the greatest folly... Moreover, she hoped that this Academy City would not repeat the mistakes of the Fire Moth. The greatest enemy of civilization comes from within...

"Okay," the chairman seemed to accept this excuse, "then let me ask you, what do you think of magicians, magicians in general...?"

Mobius's eyes turned cold. "What is there to say? You are just a feudal parasite that hinders the progress of civilization. Hehe, you have bothered me for long enough. Don't delay my calculations."

After the meaningless conversation, the chairman's voice fell silent.

Mebius turned his attention away from the communication interface and looked at Flora in the corner again. He found that she was restless and sniffed around like a curious baby. "Flora? What are you doing?"

"......Hmm?" Flora came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. She... seemed to smell a scent that was similar to her own but different? But she always felt that there was something weird mixed in. Since this feeling appeared for the first time, she couldn't help but look around, but she couldn't clearly describe the current situation. "It seems to be...ah, I don't know...but I want to go out and play."

Floran raised her hand. The research institute was too closed, and she wanted to go out to see if she could get a clearer feeling.

"No," Mebius would never agree to her going out without an escort, "while I'm here, you stay here with me. If you're bored, just watch TV."

Then Mobius took off her lab coat, revealing a slim-fitting, all-black, slippery uniform that looked like a diving suit made of special materials. Then she stepped forward and plunged herself into the vast pool of water.

Meanwhile, Floran in the corner was staring at the multi-colored images and intermittently flickering figures that suddenly appeared before her eyes.

[Luzon recently announced that its territory, including nearby waters, has entered a state of total blockade. The Luzon authorities said that this blockade is a normal administrative measure and will not affect the personal safety of any civilians. Foreign tourists are requested not to have unnecessary panic. ]

[The Federal Trade Commission of the United States passed the "Pharmaceutical Enterprise Therapeutic Effectiveness Evaluation and Antitrust Measures" today, which lists a large number of AIDS specific drugs, cancer specific drugs, rabies specific drugs, etc. on the market. The drugs contain unknown ingredients and improperly list more than 100 patents that have not been verified by the Food and Drug Administration. The spearhead is directly aimed at Shencheng Pharmaceutical, the largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in the United States. It is expected that Shencheng Pharmaceutical's sales channels in the country will be blocked for a long time in the future...]

[Atypical pneumonia has swept across China and spread to Southeast Asia... Research shows that the cause of the disease is a new coronavirus (SARS). Shencheng Group has taken the lead in announcing that it has invested in the research and development of special drugs and vaccines, and has achieved certain practical results.

[This year, rice and soybean producing areas in various regions, including India, Annan, and South America, have experienced varying degrees of poor harvests. It is expected that global food prices will soar in the short term...]

[NHK reported that the shipment volume of the 11th District of Academy City has soared since yesterday. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the number of orders from overseas companies has increased this quarter. Academy City will increase the scale of construction in the future to make it the largest land transportation distribution center in Japan...]

"Ahh... I don't understand."

Floran muttered about the channel that the directors usually paid attention to. Then she looked at Mobius who was swimming naturally in the pool like a petite mermaid and found that she was no longer paying attention to this place.

Hmm, so boring. Ah...that breath seems to have gone away again.

Chapter 349 I think the imaginary number area is also an inherent barrier

At the same time, the source of the aura that made Floran restless, the dead apostle Jesta, had just arrived near the 10th school district of Academy City.

"Oh, what kind of city is this? There is such a huge dream! Such a large consciousness! Such colorful tones, it's simply a collection of direct access to the divine realm, the Tower of Babel of dream spirits!"

Jesta sighed sincerely, and what he was talking about was none other than the AIM diffusion field that enveloped everything in Academy City.

In fact, when Jesta first entered the city, he felt the abnormality of this city (the imaginary number area), but he was not within the superpower system after all, so he only observed this special phase from the perspective of magic.

Jesta was once a subordinate of a certain ancestor, so naturally he had performances and abilities that were incomparable to those of the miscellaneous vampires. For example, in addition to the ability to replace his body, his ability to infiltrate other people's mental realms was also unique.

but......

"...Why? Why?" Jesta asked in confusion, "Why can I sense this huge dream but cannot invade it?"

He thought he had a full grasp of his abilities and was proficient enough, but he couldn't sneak into this obviously scattered dream? Wasn't this plane a special property of the city itself?

While transforming into a cloud-like particle state, Jesta sensed the distortion in the air. He perceived reality by transforming his body into a nearly invisible state. In this state, he could not interfere with reality, but his sensitivity to the spiritual level would increase accordingly.

The vampire floated over the city in this manner. In his eyes, the city was not a place with tall buildings, but a vast and boundless spiritual fluctuation emitted by countless people.

This situation alone surprised him immensely. Humans should be extremely weak creatures, how could they release their mental power to such an extent! ?

But in fact, it is far more than that. Jesta also sensed that this extremely chaotic mental power was magically intertwined and then merged together. In his opinion, this is simply a miracle of astronomical probability. Perhaps the weapons or treasures created and circulated by ancient organizations can connect people's spirits to each other, but to maintain the illusory world of this entire city, it is probably also necessary to pay a huge and lasting source of magic power, right?

What's more, the spiritual forces here are intertwined, seemingly forming a real landscape. Wait a minute, this dream seems to be a phase that deviates from reality. Could it be an existence similar to an inherent barrier?

Jesta didn't understand the principle of AIM's diffusion field, and the more he thought about it, the more he got confused. Then, he cancelled the atomization state and stood on the ground again.

Jesta didn't want to keep using this particle state because it consumed too much energy. Besides, this kind of urban abnormal plane was not his goal at the moment.

He was looking for some kind of huge life substance. Jesta didn't know the scientific name of this thing. Maybe it was created by the magician who treated him as a chess piece? Even the magician might not be a first-hand researcher.

Because when Jesta devoured the alien species Son of Fuhailin in Naples, he sensed a similar existence in the east (Japan).

What was that feeling like? It was as if some kind of sea of ​​life, some original substance, was calling him, and he could not help but rush to Japan.

Jesta had never felt this way before, so he was sure that there must be something wrong with what he ate. Well, if it happened again, he would still choose to eat it, after all, he would have no way to survive if he didn't do so. He was completely tricked by a magician (Prelati).

“Hehehe——! What on earth do you magicians want?” His pale complexion showed an uncertain gray outline in the wind. “Forget it, since you have lured me here, I will accept it openly!”

Jesta looked at the 10th school district... He didn't actually know the division of school districts, but there was indeed a building similar to a research institute with a familiar life breath in it, similar to the one he had devoured, most likely the so-called target. But it was a bit strange, why didn't this research institute have the breath of magic barrier? Was it completely defenseless?

Jesta didn't believe that this was a purely scientific building, because if it was so related to a magician (Prelati), it should be a magician. As for high technology, this dead apostle's knowledge was quite limited.

"Ah, this actually makes me a little interested... But I don't intend to follow someone's pace."

Although he couldn't feel it, the mysterious magician who had plotted against him in the dark definitely had something planned with the unknown forces here. Jesta didn't intend to follow the magician's pace, so he changed direction and left in a completely wrong direction.

——He decided to take a look at the strange dream phase that enveloped the city first.

"If it's not just a dream... but a fixed barrier..."

As a Dead Apostle, Jesta is not used to so-called human magic, but he has devoured many human magicians in the past, so he has mastered some knowledge and basic skills.

"Well, in that case, there's no point in worrying about the parts that are connected to the ordinary people's externalized spirits. What we should find is the so-called 'subject' that exercises the power to maintain the inherent barrier, whether it's a person or an object."

It can't be a human, right? ...Hehehe, if it is a human, it would be quite interesting.

But what neither side could have imagined was that Jesta had found the correct answer by following the wrong direction.

--------

School District 18.

Kiana accompanied Sirin for a walk until late at night. It was almost quiet at this time, but Sirin was still full of enthusiasm and looked like she hadn't had enough fun.

Every time Kiana asked Xilin about going home, Xilin would immediately change the subject and propose a new attraction. At this time, the neon lights were still shining on the street, and the colorful vendors decorated the night. These were actually automatic machines. Living shop owners would not work overtime so late.

The two of them walked all the way to a location close to the business district, where the lights gradually became sporadic.

In the darkness, it seemed as if countless figures were ready to move.

"Strange.....there's someone there late at night?"

Kiana grabbed Sirin. She was just racking her brains over how to explain to Mei and the others that she had been out all day, but the strange and dangerous aura irritated her nerves.

Chapter 350: Loud Conspiracy

In the corporate area late at night, a huge invisible shadow enveloped the surrounding environment, like a huge silent area that swallowed up all sounds.

Kiana stopped Sirin who wanted to take a walk. Sirin said that she had lived in the Imaginary Number District for a long time and was too familiar with the city to be vigilant. Kiana, on the other hand, seldom stayed in the city except for occasionally skipping school to go out, let alone late at night, so she felt that something was wrong ahead.

At the entrance of the alley, there seemed to be a shadow swaying.

It was like a long, shaky tube with a rough and mottled outer surface. As the wind blew, a faint fishy smell drifted in, almost making Kiana alert.

"Eh? That's--" Xilin finally realized something was wrong. But Kiana stopped her from going over.

"...Don't move, that man...is dead."

Yes, it was a staggering corpse, and the victim was probably trying to flee the scene before dying, but judging from the signs of injury, being able to stand and walk was already a medical miracle. But in fact, this was just an "inertial" behavior driven by obsession.

With a bang, the body fell to the ground.

Kiana was not afraid of this. For the Honkai disaster in her "previous life", this ordinary corpse was nothing. Rather, the tragedies caused by the disaster were countless compared to a corpse. She walked closer and immediately found something wrong with the corpse. The corpse was obviously abnormally thin and old.

Kiana couldn't tell the age of the corpse, but to be honest, cracks were faintly visible on the surface of the corpse, like cracked soil. It was as if it was about to evolve into desertification. This form was a bit beyond her knowledge, at least she didn't know what ability could cause this phenomenon.

Kiana certainly didn't know. In short, this was a magician whose life force was almost drained away. Anyone who could possess and easily carry out such a method must be a vampire that she was not aware of.

"Be careful... there's a noise ahead, too, and it seems to be getting louder." Kiana didn't have time to guess. She looked at Xilin's innocent expression and said, "Uh... are you sure you don't want to leave? I mean, you're not going to go home yet?"

Xilin also looked at the faint noise in the distance with concern, and then shook her head. Today she finally got out of the cage that trapped her, that fake Academy City. How could she be willing to go back?

"Hiss..." Kiana felt a little headache. She finally got the status of Discipline Committee member and could finally use her ability to investigate some abnormal events that might be happening. But she happened to be involved with Xilin, a little kid. "Then you stay here and try to stay as far away as possible."

Kiana thought that her abilities were top-notch when used in combat, but it was a different story when she had a burden.

Xilin nodded and agreed readily. In fact, she had no intention of going far away. She even planned to go and see it out of curiosity.

On the other side of the battlefield, as expected, there was a group of magicians who wanted to raid the corporate area to steal research data.

It's just that they had anticipated being attacked by guards, checked by machines, and imagined all kinds of situations that they might need to deal with, but they still didn't expect that they would have to face an even more unexpected existence right now - the Dead Apostles.

That's right, it's the Dead Apostle Jesta.

"Damn it! This is completely beyond our expectations! This science city actually cooperated with the dirty inhumans without permission!" The magicians seemed to have misunderstood something. They were having heated discussions with each other in the team channel. Although their daily work was to kill people and harm lives, which was even worse than that of the Dead Apostles, this did not prevent the magicians from making a big fuss about the science side.

"Silence!" shouted a middle-aged magician who seemed to be the leader. Some universal group magic was connected through the channel. "It's the same as before. I will take the position of the King. This will strengthen your guards——"

This is undoubtedly a group technique that magicians have "studied" themselves. The real technique is only open to magician users in the Void Terminal function. Since this kind of multi-person group combat can significantly enhance combat power and became famous during the London Incident, many magicians also used their brains and tried to "imitate" it. As for how much charm it has, it depends on personal opinion.

"Hey, hey, hey - I say," the Dead Apostle Jesta spoke up as the magicians were secretly distributing their group magic combat methods, "You don't think I can't hear you using such a crude spell to encrypt your conversation loudly in front of me! Huh?"

Several magicians glanced at him, and seeing that Jesta had no intention of disturbing them, they continued to prepare the spell without saying a word.

"Oh my, so good things have been used too much and even third-rate stuff dares to call itself a group spell..." Jesta obviously knew the origins of the things used by these magicians, "But your magic power is just like tiny fireflies. You don't really think that if you get together, you can be as powerful as the bright moon--"

"You're looking for death! Everyone, fire your cannons (Set)——"

A large amount of magic light formed a magical legion spell, and was then fired from the turret of the central "King", or the magic hub, forming a long dragon-shaped bright five-colored stream of light, which instantly illuminated the street, as well as - Jesta's disdainful smile.

Boom!

The ground in the city block almost shook. The force was like an enhanced version of a magic cannonball, crushing everything in its path. However...

"Can this compete with the bright moon...?"

The magic power disappeared silently, not because it was erased by any existence, but because it simply had no effect.

“Eh!? Oh no…”

The magicians then realized that something was wrong; the strength of this Dead Apostle was not right.

"Ah, if it was me before, I really couldn't just accept this kind of trick rashly. But now I am," the dead apostle Jesta was unharmed. What was rising from him was a terrifying magic power, a kind of alien concept, a mystery that far surpassed those miscellaneous spells, "but I am more than ten times stronger than before--"

"Oops... I misjudged the situation. How could such a high-level Dead Apostle appear here? No, could it be 'Ancestor'——!?"
