The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 365: clue sorting

Although he didn't understand what happened just now, it didn't prevent Shirai Heizi from defeating the enemy in front of him cleanly.

The few leaders who stayed in the conference room behind saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but they couldn't escape. It was firmly nailed to the wall by several twisted steel bars.

After doing all this, Shirai Heizi breathed a sigh of relief, and had time to slowly recall the pain caused by his injuries.

Chuchun Shili didn't care about the conflicts and awkwardness between the two of them, so she rushed to greet her.

The security forces arrived soon, and some disciplinary committee members also arrived at the scene-they came to investigate the "malicious damage to the signal base station".

Delinquent teenagers who have lost their mobile phones have no choice but to catch them with their hands.

As the parties involved, Shirai Kuroko and Chuchun Shili were also taken back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.

"During the **** just now, all the prisoners had a short period of drowsiness and fainting..."

Outside the interrogation room, a security teacher was explaining the situation to Shirai Kuroko and Chuchun Shili.

"So, you suspect that is the reason for the current situation?" Shirai Heizi frowned, and the three of them looked at the interrogation room on the other side of the glass together.

The person who was being interrogated inside was one of the prisoners who had just been captured.

But at this moment, he was in a daze, ignorant of the questions asked by the guards.

"Amnesia?" Even Chuchun Shili had an expression of disbelief, "I lost my memory just after being caught...how could it be such a coincidence?"

"And everyone is like this..." Shirai Kuroko added.

"But they didn't lie—" the security teacher said helplessly, "Whether it's the lie detector or our interrogation consultant, they all came to such a conclusion."

The interrogation consultant is actually a member of the disciplinary committee, that is, a person with psychological ability, who can directly judge whether the subject is lying or not through superpowers.

It can be said that the conclusions drawn under the double insurance are undoubtedly the facts. but…

"There is definitely a problem!"

All three came to the same conclusion.

At this time, a technician from the security department came over and handed a document to the security teacher.

"Ah, their mobile phones have been restored, and all the internal data has been exported."

"Did you find anything?" The two girls quickly asked, and they were sure that the mobile phone was the main reason for the abnormal strength of these villains.

"Sorry, I haven't found the software you mentioned, and there are no other suspicious files." The guard teacher paused, "Moreover, there is no trace of deletion..."

"By the way," the guard teacher continued, "After inspection, the ability levels of these bad guys... are all level 0, which also matches the records in the library."

How can this be?

Shirai Kuroko and Uiharu Shuri looked at each other.

It was as if an invisible hand had erased all relevant information such as the memories, abilities, and mobile phone data of these prisoners.

"No, it's very possible." The guard teacher said with a well-informed look, "Don't forget what this place is. No matter how impossible things are, they can happen here."

Because this is Academy City, a city with the theme of superpowers.

To be able to do this kind of thing, it must be some kind of superpower, right?

"Since this is the case, it is very simple to solve the problems we are facing now." Hatsuharu said, "Can't we also use the power of superpowers?"

"Theoretically, that's the case..." Mr. Weiwei said with a wry smile, "But restoring memory is far more difficult than deleting memory. Almost no one can do that kind of thing, right?"

"Yes! There are people who can do this!" Chuchun Shili nodded confidently and affirmatively.

Shirai Heizi looked at her and said in surprise: "You are really obsessed with this case... Isn't your most concerned about 'Hundred Ghosts at Night'?"

"This is related to 'Hundred Ghosts of the Night'!" Chuchun Shili said very seriously.

"Huh? This should be another incident that has nothing to do with it?"

"Related! It's a related event!" Hatsuharu said stubbornly.

Then she gave her own explanation—

The first is the "big riot" incident that occurred during the summer vacation, which led to the magical program "Fantasy Master" that can increase the level of ability.

But the incident quickly subsided, and the "Fantasy Royal Hand" also disappeared and became an urban legend.

Immediately afterwards, "Fantasy Hand 2.0" appeared in the form of mobile application software. Because Misaka Mikoto downloaded and installed one, I also mentioned it in the chat later. So Chuchun Shili made a special investigation, but there was still no result at that time, so it was nothing.

But in retrospect, that software was really suspicious.

After that, attacks against capable people suddenly increased. What follows is a special device called "Ability Drop" - which can interfere with the ability launch of the ability user. This is also the main reason why prisoners can succeed repeatedly.

"Based on what happened today," Chuchun Shili concluded, "It is certain that the mobile phone software 'Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0' is the clue to connect all the elements!"

"Obviously a person who is incapable~lightnovelpub.net~ suddenly possesses a powerful ability, and even dares to attack the discipline committee member on his own initiative! Moreover, there is an unknown device that can hinder Shirai-san from using the ability-I remember that someone was indeed holding a mobile phone at that time Aim at Shirai-san!"

"So, when I interfered with the cell phone signal, they were beaten back to their original shape!"

Shirai Heizi nodded again and again: "Indeed, it makes sense. But...these still have nothing to do with 'Hundred Ghosts of the Night'?"

"Yes!" Chuchun Shili insisted, "Although I still don't know the specific principles of 'fantasy hand' and 'ability decline'...but since it is related to superpowers, it must involve the AIM diffusion force field! And according to the current knowledge Information—'Hyakki Yakun' is a rampage phenomenon caused by AIM's diffusion force field. So 'Hyakki Yakun' must have something to do with the large-scale use of 'Fantasy Hand 2.0'!"

Looking at his companion's stubborn eyes, Shirai Heizi had no choice but to remain silent. She realized that Chuchun Zhuli had already started to dig into the horns, and she wanted to find a suitable reason for "Hundred Ghosts of the Night" even if it was far-fetched.

In order to wash away the suspicion on Chun Shangjin Yi.

Sighing silently, Shirai Heizi stopped insisting, and instead asked: "The person you said can do it...is there a suitable person?"

In fact, there is no need to ask, after thinking about it, there are only a few of them in the entire Academy City, right?

"The fifth 'Psychological Mastery', you should be classmates, right?" Chuchun Shili said.

"Forget it, I don't want to deal with that woman!" Shirai Heizi refused straight away.

"Then, it really doesn't work..." Chuchun Shili said, "Actually, the most suitable candidate should be Senior Shiranui!"
