Academy City Temperature Control

Chapter 239 Serious injury

With some cream smeared all around the lips, and a sweet and smooth touch all around the teeth, the cake called Madame Martha embodies the most exquisite cooking skills of the maids.

After swallowing a piece of delicious cake, Natsume Sonoko suddenly became a little absent-minded. Even the sweet taste couldn't make someone concentrate again.

"Natsume-san, today's cake is not delicious?"

Maixia Tsuchimikado came to her side quietly, holding the empty coffee pot in her hand.

Unlike her usual way of smiling happily when eating, Natsume-san looked quite distracted today and didn't even notice that some cake was on her face.

As a little maid who came to Tokiwadai Middle School for field study, Tsuchimikado-san always looked carefree.

This student dormitory located in the seventh school district is not their only study place. Tsuchimikado Maika and the others usually go to Tokiwadai Middle School and the two subordinate student dormitories, so it is not possible to see this student here every time. A little maid.

"Tsuchimikado-san, can you keep these cakes for me? I'll come back later."

Putting down the knife she was using to cut the cake, Natsume-san's head suddenly turned mechanically in a half-circle, looking straight at the little maid.

"Why are you suddenly asking me to keep things?"

Tsuchimikado Maika noticed the serious look coming her way and hesitated for a second. Although she didn't know what was happening, she still nodded in agreement.

If it was the Natsume classmate she knew, she must have encountered something that made her unable to eat.

"Thank you."

With a look of gratitude on her face, Natsume Sonoko pulled Tsuchimikado's hand, and then hurriedly chased in the direction Misaka-senpai had left.

"Misaka-senpai, Shirai-san, are you here?"

I sped up to the second floor and arrived at dormitory 208 in a blink of an eye.

Natsume Sonoko knocked on the door lightly, but there was no echo from inside.

However, Natsume-san picked up a dropped game coin at the door of dormitory 208.

I looked at the pattern on it and saw that it was from the arcade where Misaka-senpai often went.

The Tokiwadai student dormitory is often cleaned, and the garbage left in the morning is not kept until now. It should be that Misaka-senpai came back to the dormitory and took some game coins.

Although Natsume-san is not as good at reasoning as Shirai-san, this is something that can only be thought of with a little thought.

Just when he was about to call Misaka-senpai, Natsume Sonoko suddenly heard a falling sound from the dormitory, followed by a dull gasp.

"Is it Shirai-san? Are you okay?"

Hearing some noise, Natsume Sonoko hurriedly slapped the door again.

"What's wrong with you guy? I'm taking a shower now! Because you fell down and it hurts so much."

The somewhat suppressed voice of Shirai-san came from the room, as if he was enduring some pain.

"Sorry, but did Misaka-senpai come back just now?"

There was a hint of apology on his face, but even the mentally retarded Natsume-san could tell there was something wrong.

"Sister, please take some things and go out. Now, if you're fine, don't disturb me."

Shirai-san's temper is the same as usual, but he seems to be a little more irritable than usual.

"If you need any help, you can come to me at any time."

After lingering at the door for a while, Natsume-san lowered his arm to knock on the door.

At this time, images began to gather in Natsume-san's head, covering the area around him like invisible ripples.

Not wanting to intrude on other people's privacy is a matter of basic courtesy. Natsume rarely uses heat sensing outside her 210 dormitory.

With the ability to sense heat, Shirai-san in the room was unable to hide.

Based on the various data fed back in his head, Natsume began to construct a relatively vague image of the room in his head.

Not only the human body, but also various furniture arrangements can be observed by Natsume-san.

It's just that these items or buildings are relatively close to the ambient temperature. Natsume-san usually doesn't spend extra computing power to restore these things.

I met a penguin before who used some materials to wrap his body to keep it around the ambient temperature.

As long as the skin and this material are tightly attached, coupled with the excellent thermal insulation performance, it is enough to squeeze the heat involuntarily emitted by the human body back into the body, and even the sweat cannot be discharged smoothly, and this is how it was avoided for a time. Natsume-san’s observation.

"The body temperature on the forehead is about 0.8 degrees Celsius lower than usual, and the body seems to have been bandaged."

"The bandaging locations are the right shoulder, the left side of the abdomen, the right thigh, and the right calf. The injury to the right calf is more serious and the heat emitted is lower than the rest."

In just a few breaths, Natsume-san already knew Shirai-san's current state.

Shirai-san is currently hiding in the bathroom of the dormitory, bandaging his wounds, and because he just fell, he is now sitting on the floor with his body bent.

Natsume-san felt an inexplicable feeling of distress in her heart. Although she said she hated him, she still cared about this classmate very much in her heart.

Being injured as a member of the disciplinary committee is a very common thing, and taking the initiative to fight with prisoners is inherently a high-risk matter.

There are many prisoners who possess thermal weapons or simply have abilities.

This is not the first time Shirai-san has been injured, but it is the first time that he has been injured like this with so many wounds on his body.

Natsume-san suddenly remembered the scene when he agreed to join the Disciplinary Committee of Senior Sister Kufa. What he thought at the beginning was that he hoped that Shirai-san and the others would suffer less injuries.

However, due to several conditions promised at that time, Natsume-san is actually relatively outside the disciplinary committee system and is a disciplinary committee member out of interest.

But many people actually know the news that the eighth one has joined the Discipline Committee, because Natsume-san sometimes wears the Discipline Committee armband openly, and it has even been widely circulated as an urban legend.

But even so, Shirai-san was still so seriously injured, which made a certain ballhead feel that he had to do something.

"Shirai-san is bandaging secretly. It seems that the culprit has not been caught yet."

He glanced blankly at Shirai-san who was separated by a wall. Natsume-san was thinking about something in his head.

Although the disciplinary committee members have certain law enforcement powers, they are still students after all, and most of the dangerous tasks are still left to the security guards.

And if the upper management knew that Shirai-san was so seriously injured, they would definitely stop her from taking action, so Shirai-san should not have caught the culprit yet.

Chapter 2: The Lightning Troops

It was night time, and Kuroko Shirai's slightly pale face turned red when the LED lights on the wall of the building illuminated her cheeks.

Touching the ground with one foot, the injured right foot then leaned forward. Shirai couldn't help but gritted his teeth and turned on his phone to confirm the next investigation location.

According to the simulated escape route provided by Uiharu, if the other party wants to escape in an environment like Academy City where surveillance is intensive and where artificial satellites can locate the target.

Then it is necessary to avoid the ubiquitous surveillance probes through some dark alleys, so-called blind spots, and even use the intricate environment to avoid satellite surveillance.

And if these dead ends are connected into some roads that can leave Academy City, then several passages out of Academy City can be roughly simulated.

"There is no time left. Even if Yubi Danxi has to take a period of rest every time he moves himself, he is almost reaching the border of Academy City now."

With an expression of reluctance on his face, Shirai-san began to move faster.

After getting a lot of useful information from Uiharu, she now basically has the information about the guy who hurt her.

Jiebiao Danxi is a second-year female from Kirigigaoka with great abilities. Her ability is 'coordinate movement'.

It is suspected that he has suffered psychological trauma and is unable to move himself continuously.

Speaking of the basic rule of spatial movement ability, it is to let the 'moving object' squeeze away from the 'object at the target position', regardless of the influence of the object's material.

After moving one's own body, there will not be a terrible situation where the body is mixed with other materials, but it is equivalent to letting the body cut the original material. For example, Shirai-san can let the paper cut through the reinforced concrete pillars.

This also means that if you make a mistake in moving and cut through some heavy objects, you will most likely be buried under them instantly. In that case, you will at least be seriously injured.

Classmate Shirai speculated in his head that the girl named Yubio Danxi might be in this situation.

This is not uncommon among people with the ability to move in space, but that person seemed to be particularly serious.

After getting familiar with the opponent's situation, Shirai-san felt that he could win as long as he was not attacked first by his opponent before and as long as he paralyzed the opponent immediately.

The most convenient person who can deal with space movers is myself, who is also a space ability user.

Because space ability users cannot move between each other, this also means that the other party cannot move people or fill in foreign objects once the coordinates are locked, as they can with other ability users.

Shirai Kuroko's body was squeezed into eleven dimensions, and the space was squeezed and broken like pieces of paper. But while he was calculating, his brain began to tremble involuntarily.

The absolute ability user plan is to use the clone of Misaka Mikoto to make Accelerator reach level 6.

It turns out that those fake sisters I met before turned out to be like this, and the real sisters always left early and came back late in those days.

As he thought about it, Shirai-san clenched his fist tightly and bit his lip with his teeth.

She actually knew some things, including the collapsed building belonging to the Miki Construction Group in the Seventh School District and the iron sand piled up nearby, the rumors that Accelerator was defeated even though he waved the building, and the extremely abnormal celestial phenomena that day.

Shirai-san recalled those words that made Yubi Danxi feel desperate when he faced her.

Whether it was to distract himself or for whatever reason, those words did make Shirai-san lose the confidence to continue the pursuit. It turned out that onee-sama had been suffering from such pain.

"What Sister-in-law is looking for now should be the box that was snatched away by Jie Biao Danxi. Kuroko will definitely be able to help."

Shirai-san re-examined his injuries and found that it had not affected the use of his abilities for the time being, so he felt relieved.

More than ten kilometers away from the outer walls of Academy City, there is the entrance to an abandoned nuclear energy research laboratory somewhere in District [-].

In order to avoid the ubiquitous surveillance, Jiubiao Danxi and several of her companions chose the [-]th School District, which has the worst security and worst facilities in Academy City, as a breakthrough point.

But just when Jiebiao Danxi was about to take a rest and put down herself and her own personnel, she encountered a troop sent by Academy City.

On the ground of this abandoned research institute, there were armed men lying scattered on the ground, wailing in pain.

Many people's bodies experienced varying degrees of swelling. It was suspected that someone had transferred foreign objects into their bodies. Although it was not fatal, it suddenly paralyzed their combat effectiveness.

This kind of battle was completely out of specification, and even experienced personnel could not avoid it for a while. A simple contact caused a considerable amount of attrition.

If you want to avoid being in such a miserable situation due to coordinate movement, the simplest way is to keep running, so that the opponent can only recalculate the target's coordinates again and again.

But this method is only a drop in the bucket, because their movement speed is still slower than the calculations of ability users, and they can hit the target with only a slight correction.

As the light of a certain military flashlight flickered on and off, this kind of troops quickly found a way to deal with it.

Flash bombs all over the sky began to ravage the entire institute, everything in the field of vision became white, and the movement caused could be clearly seen even one kilometer away.

Wearing gas masks, noise-canceling headphones, and special protective glasses, coupled with special sound capture equipment, an elite team entered the facility again.

"The target has been lost, I repeat, the target has been lost."

And just a moment after entering, this team searched every corner but could not find those teams trying to leak Academy City information.

Their purpose was not to retrieve the remains of the tree diagram designer, but to eliminate Jubiao Danxi and his party who had exchanged information with the outside world.

From this point of view, it seems that the remains of the dendrogram designer did not receive much attention from Academy City's higher-ups, and it was just the wishful thinking of some researchers.

"Those people are Academy City's lightning reception force. They are really difficult to deal with."

After using the ability to move coordinates again, Jiebiao Danxi's stomach began to churn.

Glancing at the wall that was close at hand, Jie Biao Danxi's face suddenly turned pale.

She was surrounded by several companions who had moved over in advance. They all seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as Jiebiao Danxi.

After noticing the actions of the armed men, Jiebiao Danxi responded immediately, otherwise it would be too late to wait until the flash bomb fell.

She can't use her abilities in that bright environment because she needs to use vision to lock onto the target's coordinates.

"Jie Biao, it's okay. It's not far from the meeting point with the 'Science Association'."

One of the teenagers still had tears in his eyes. He must have been hit by the light of the flash bomb, but the situation didn't look serious.

This 'scientific association' is the external force they have secretly contacted.

"I'm fine. This place is only more than 100 meters away from where we were just now. We still need to move."

"Find a car first, and wait until the next area with dense surveillance before using your abilities."

A dense burst of light was seen in the distance, and Natsume-san's attention was attracted by the sudden light.

When they got closer to the location, the light had dimmed, and Natsume Sonoko found armed men scattered all over the place, all with abnormally bulging bellies.

After checking the surrounding environment for a while, I felt that it was probably the work of someone with space system abilities.

Naturally, Natsume-san didn't just come here to hang out with nothing to do, she was here to cause trouble for someone.

It seems that words like "making trouble for someone" shouldn't appear on a Tokiwadai lady, but now she just wants to send that guy to the security guard building.

She will catch those who Shirai-san cannot catch.

If she resists, she won't be polite. Who is not a capable person?
