Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 124

Pendragon sighed silently. The next second, the third planet in the solar system was enveloped in a green halo.

Since then, observers on this planet have always felt that the angle and position of the solar system are not quite right, but they cannot observe the specific values, which is very frustrating.

Because Pendragon only reversed Earth's time by a few seconds, synchronizing the entire universe would have been too much of a hassle.

Returning to the time before the tragedy occurred, she used her telekinesis to compress the explosion to the size of a fist, making it look like she had fired a massive cannon.

After doing all that, Pendragon took a 500 yen coin from the Railgun, then went shopping with Rin and bought a crepe from a roadside food truck.

That way we can see the grand spectacle of "Phantom Master".

Because of this incident, the Railgun was also marked with a quantum computer by Pendragon, ready to be observed at any time.

Two weeks of relatively peaceful days passed. The dormitory next door that had been burned down was repaired and put into use. Jing Shen was also transferred out of the hospital ward and returned home with the Catalogue of Forbidden Books.

Well, although no one was held accountable for blowing up the teacher's house, the make-up classes still need to be attended.

Just as she was on her way home after buying study materials, the magician who had suddenly barged into her peaceful life two weeks earlier reappeared in front of her.

The bustling street fell silent in the blink of an eye, as if it had entered another unfamiliar dimension. Jing Shen keenly sensed something.

"You should know that these are runes, runes that keep strangers away."

"Long time no see, Jing Shen, the demon hunter."

A red-haired girl with a cigarette in her mouth and a tattoo under her eye, who didn't look like a good person at all, greeted Jing Shen.

"..."

The girl, who only had two weeks' worth of memories and common sense, remained expressionless; she had recently become completely accustomed to this kind of thing.

Despite being utterly bewildered and confused inside, they remained outwardly calm and composed.

Who is this guy?

The girl screamed in her heart, then used the skills she had honed over the past week to try to remain silent, extract information from the other person's words, and react accordingly.

After all, most people wouldn't expect her to lose her memory. They might find it a little strange, but that's about it. They just let it go in their own minds and didn't need her to explain.

This trick never fails. I just treated two friends I don't even know to a meal at McDonald's, and now my wallet is in dire need of repairs.

"Ha, not even a greeting?"

The red-haired girl's words made Jing Shen's heart flutter. Just as she was about to say something, the other girl nodded to herself and said, "That's right, that's right, our relationship should be like this."

"Uh……"

What kind of weirdos did I know before?

Jing Shen was speechless. Was this guy the legendary tsundere? The kind who clearly considered you a friend in his heart but would never admit it out loud?

By the way, where's Xiao Xiu Nan?

At this moment, Jing Shen suddenly noticed that the boy who had insisted on running towards the cat had completely disappeared after running away for a while.

"The Catalogue of Banned Books?"

"Don't worry about that child, he's just going to investigate the flow of magic."

Red Hair casually explained the whereabouts of the Catalogue of Forbidden Books to Jing Shen, mentioning runes and magic, which made Jing Shen, who was in such a technologically advanced city, feel very uncomfortable.

What kind of world am I living in? My daily life is actually mixed with such an abnormal phenomenon as "magic".

"So, what do you want from me?"

Jing Shen decided to try and get some information out of this guy, and put on a kind smile.

The red-haired girl opposite them sighed slightly, then her expression suddenly turned terrifying, and she pulled a card with runes printed on it from her pocket with two fingers.

"Don't laugh out loud! Or I'll kill you!"

Without a word, they started fighting. The spell card in the girl's hand turned into a huge torch. With her swinging, the flames that scorched and evaporated the air attacked her like a ferocious dragon!

The blinding flames and scalding air rushed closer in the blink of an eye. Jing Shen even felt his hair being roasted by the high temperature from a distance, and subconsciously stretched out his right hand to block it.

The terrifying flames were gradually neutralized and then vanished completely. The Pure Spirit gasped for breath, looking at her right hand with a dazed expression.

"Imagine Breaker?"

This is the name that GuaTa gave to her ability.

"Yes, that's the expression. That's how our relationship should be."

"Don't consider me a good friend just because we teamed up once."

So the underlying meaning of this statement is: Hurry up and treat me like a good friend, you jerk!

As she spoke, the red-haired man reached into the coat where she had taken out the magic card.

"What are you trying to do now?"

Jing Shen was startled, instinctively thinking that she was going to mess with her again, and instantly became vigilant.

"Humph?"

The red-haired girl raised an eyebrow, then pulled a file folder from her clothes and said, "I want to tell you a secret."

"..."

Jing Shen was defeated by the other party's innocent expression. This guy's way of greeting people was really something else. No wonder he was so eager to make friends.

"Take it."

The documents in the file bag flew out instantly and then formed a continuously rotating circle in front of the Pure God.

"You know about Misawa Juku, the cram school for college entrance exam preparation, right?"

"Misawa... private school?"

The girl's voice was filled with confusion.

“There was a boy imprisoned there.”

"Imprisonment?"

Jing Shen's voice rose several octaves, clearly sounding somewhat incredulous.

After all, Academy City has always been known as the safest city, so this kind of thing sounds distant and unfamiliar.

“The Misawa Academy now seems to have become a new religion with science worship as its main theme.”

Scientology? May I ask which deity they worship?

Compared to the celestial being Einstein? The scientific ancestor Newton? The Thunder God Tesla?

"Leaving aside the doctrines of this religion, this Misawa Academy has been taken over by someone. He is a genuine magician. No, to be precise, he should be called an alchemist of the Zurich School."

"A real magician?"

The Pure Spirit uttered a voice of doubt.

"Ah. I also think it sounds suspicious."

The red-haired girl took a drag of her cigarette, then suddenly realized what she was doing and asked, "Qiu Dou, why are you being so cooperative?"

Jing Shen was suddenly startled. So this girl is a masochist? What a close call! She almost fell for her trick.

Taking a deep breath, Jing Shen, his face covered in cold sweat from nervousness, said in a pretentious manner:

"I occasionally try to listen to you properly, and this is how you react. Do I have to interrupt you word by word to make you feel better?"

P.S.: Hedgehog Cat really did skip me!

Chapter 214 You think we, the people, will believe your lies, police?

Chapter 214

The girl also began to reflect on her life before she lost her memory. How impolite it was to interrupt someone's speech! How could the other person take it for granted and even continue to be her friend? What a great and pure friendship! She was so moved that she almost cried.

"never mind."

The red-haired girl took a drag of her cigarette and said nonchalantly, "As long as things are explained clearly, that's fine."

"The alchemist's name is Aureos Isaed. She has been in hiding for three years. No one knows where she went or what she did for those three years, but now she has quietly returned to this city."

"What did she come back for?"

The information Tyr provided piqued the Purifying God's curiosity, and he subconsciously asked a question.

"That's right, the key point is why she came back."

The red-haired girl retrieved the data flying through the air and continued, "Her goal is to obtain the 'Vampire Killer' imprisoned by the Misawa Academy."

So, Jing Shen didn't read a single word of all those pages of information; she just listened to what she said. What was the point of making it all so complicated?

"Vampire killer?"

What the hell is this?

"This is that child's ability, the ability to kill 'a certain kind of creature'."

What kind of creature is "a certain creature"?

Jing Shen subconsciously tried to extract information.

"Although there are various names for them, they are simply vampires."

The red-haired girl calmly smoked.

"vampire?"

Are you kidding me?

Jingshen wore a look of utter disbelief. Where was he? Academy City! This was a place where science was paramount, and even the religion was the Church of Science!

You're telling me that things that only appear in fantasy novels actually exist?

"Does...do such a thing really exist?"

Jing Shen, who had initially intended to mock the red-haired man, suddenly remembered that this guy was also a magician who only appeared in large-scale fantasy dramas. Since they were both fantasy species, why couldn't they exist? His Imagine Breaker was precisely the one that countered them!

The words were on the tip of his tongue when he abruptly changed his tone, transforming the original sarcasm into a question.

"Even we magicians don't know."

The red-haired girl exhaled a puff of smoke and continued, "However, the so-called 'Vampire Killer' is the ability to kill vampires, so we must find vampires first. Therefore, it would be best if we could obtain the 'Vampire Killer' first."

"So what are you trying to say?"

The woman's purpose is puzzling; is she trying to capture vampires?

"I'm going to attack Misawa Academy now. If I don't rescue the 'Vampire Killer,' things will get very complicated."

Jing Shen was completely bewildered. It was just about rescuing people? ...Of course, she would go without hesitation!

The girl nodded in agreement; this guy really was a good person.

"I hope you won't just nod off too easily."

The red-haired girl, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, said, "Because you have to come with me too."

"Clam?"

What does Teemo have to do with me? If you want to save someone, go save them! No wonder this guy was trying to get close to me and giving me secrets; he was setting a trap for me!

“You have no right to refuse. If you do not follow my instructions, the banned books list will be taken over by us; this is our policy.”

Jing Shen's expression suddenly changed, and she looked at the woman in front of her with some shock.

"The Church of Necessary Evil has given you the task of becoming a 'shackle' to prevent him from betraying you. However, if you disobey, the 'shackle' will not be able to play its proper role."

"Are you serious, buddy?"

Faced with such an obvious threat, Jing Shen was clearly very angry, and his originally kind eyes turned ruthless.

"Do as you please, the choice is yours."

After the red-haired girl finished speaking, she turned and walked away as if she didn't care at all that the other party might refuse.

As the magician left, the world returned to normal in an instant, and the piercing sound of a steam horn pulled the girl back to reality.

On the surface, she went to investigate magic, but in reality, she went to catch wildcats. The forbidden arts catalog returned heavily pregnant, looking in a good mood but somewhat nervous.

Because the girl was preoccupied with something, she didn't immediately notice the anomaly in the forbidden arts catalog.

When they arrived at their doorstep, Jing Shen subconsciously glanced at the Forbidden Arts Catalogue and noticed his swollen belly.
