Academy City Temperature Control

A certain guy with a round head looks unremarkable, with no other features except that he is short and has a big bump on his head, but if he really gets angry, he will be in trouble.

Taking the initiative to inquire about some information from Uiharu, Natsume-san also got a rough route map.

While Shirai-san was still working hard to move somewhere, Natsume-san had already started investigating the blind spots in the [-]th School District one step ahead.

Although it was common for discipline committee members to be injured, Natsume still felt very uncomfortable when Shirai-san was injured like that.

And what makes Natsume-san a little concerned is that that guy is an esper who has appeared in the space system before, and Misaka-senpai's matter can be solved together.

Chapter 241: The girl was attacked and fell to death

There is a strong smell of heavy metals and gunpowder in the air, and the gas is mixed with thick solid particles, as if one breath is half of the periodic table of elements.

He controlled his body to fly higher, but he couldn't help but pinch his nose. Natsume-san didn't have much resistance to the bad environment.

After thinking about his approximate location, Natsume-san recalled the simulated route provided by Uiharu earlier.

If you follow the route of the [-]th School District, there are not many areas that can be called blind spots. The closer you get to the edge of Academy City, the more complete the various surveillance and defense facilities are.

Instead of advancing along the blind corner area, I am afraid that the opponent has long been accurately targeted by Academy City.

Those armed personnel on the ground did not find anything unusual. They just investigated on the spot and began to retreat.

Regarding these armed men, Natsume Sonoko felt a sense of urgency in her heart.

It wasn't that they were worried about the weapons in their hands, since they couldn't hit him anyway, but they were preconceived that these people should be the personnel sent by Academy City to search for the wreckage.

Natsume-san felt that under no circumstances should the remains of the tree diagram designer be allowed to be obtained by these armed men.

Now that the experiment is over, there is no need to come out from time to time to refresh the sense of presence and make everyone feel uncomfortable.

Let the things that should disappear disappear completely.

Thinking of Misaka-senpai who left in a hurry during the meal, Natsume Sonoko's face became more determined.

Misaka-senpai is really not frank. Although it is more efficient to act together, she is actually very happy to help.

Flying in the air, a certain Maruko lowered his head and looked at the time. It was now more than an hour before the lights-out time of the Tokiwadai dormitory.

No longer wasting time, Natsume-san spread out his wings, and a strong wind that confused his eyes hung beside him, swirling the endless air field.

The manic wind and waves are hidden in the dark night, like a drop of ink falling into the sea. No matter how big the movement is, it is like the waves that can be seen everywhere in the sea.

Although Natsume-san is a little bolder than before, she is not willing to go back late despite the pressure from the dormitory-sama.

During the days before and after the Daihasei Festival, the dormitory master's nerves were particularly sensitive. Even Shirai-san went back to check in on time every day, so it was better to finish things quickly and go back to bed.

"I almost forgot something."

Natsume Sonoko's waving wings suddenly stopped for a moment. She felt in her pocket and took out the square and wrinkled disciplinary committee armband.

When he opened the armband pin, he almost poked himself with the needle. After putting it on, it hung loosely on Natsume-san's slightly thin right shoulder.

It's not at all as heroic as Shirai-san's when he wears it. Instead, it hangs down below the cuffs, but a certain ball head feels good about himself.

This time, she wanted to catch someone for Shirai-san, so naturally she had to serve as the disciplinary committee member.

Even if Shirai-san's involvement in such criminal incidents outside the campus is actually against the rules, it doesn't matter. She is not violating the rules here anyway.

"Where are we now?"

Jie Biao Danxi sat quietly in the truck, with several nervous companions behind her.

The closer he got to Academy City's outer wall, the more obvious the feeling of uneasiness became.

"Our current location is at the junction of School District No. 11 and School District No. [-], and is only a few kilometers away from a freight distribution center."

"This freight center has a canal that leads directly to the outside of Academy City. The people from the 'Science Association' are there to meet us." Someone answered.

However, something was wrong from the beginning. There was clearly only one road in front of us, but the navigation indicated that it had deviated from the direction. Maybe there was something wrong with the machine.

The truck suddenly jolted violently, followed by a sudden brake, and everyone's bodies suddenly fell forward. For a moment, the truck was filled with mourning.

"what happened?"

"The front is blocked by something."

When I got out of the car, I saw a broad earth wall suddenly appeared on the straight road, which was particularly eye-catching under the illumination of street lights and moonlight.

At this time, looking around, the green belts standing on both sides of the originally empty straight road disappeared and turned into countless reinforced concrete buildings.

"Look, the road is gone."

Hearing an exclamation, the road made of asphalt turned into bricks everywhere, and before they knew it, they drove to a strange place.

"This earthen wall is fake, and so are these buildings."

Jiebiao Danxi frowned and touched the earth wall in front of her, but it didn't feel as solid as she imagined. Instead, it felt like air, like a mirage created by optics.

Similar technologies have already taken shape in Academy City. Technologies such as holographic projection have long been used by civilians. Naturally, what we see in front of us is not that kind of high technology, but a self-made mirror image using our abilities.

"It's not fake. Some of it is true. You probably don't know where you have come yet."

"It used to be a few abandoned apartment buildings, but now it's temporarily become my territory."

The figure was revealed from nowhere, and the ball head wearing the armband of the Disciplinary Committee walked out of the corner, with the ice mask of the magical girl Kanami on his face.

There is some suspicion that I am stealing the bell. After a little investigation, I will know who it is.

The Tokiwadai school uniform and the Disciplinary Committee armband on his shoulder have long revealed his identity, but Natsume-san always likes to do some inexplicable things.

Maybe some guy feels that wearing a mask gives him a sense of security.

The water vapor concentration here is not very thick, and it is impossible to create the kind of mist that can completely interfere with the opponent's use of abilities, but Natsume-san has other ways to replace it.

For example, tiny ice prisms and light refraction are used to achieve a mirage-like effect.

A space system user named Jiebiao Danxi needs a three-second interval to move herself.

Although my shock therapy is effective, I am not sure that I can subdue the opponent within three seconds. In fact, as long as I endure the feeling of suffocation and cover my mouth and nose immediately, I can effectively avoid it.

As long as Natsume-san's hot air has not reached a certain scale in the human body, it will not cause shock to the human body in an instant.

Ordinary people, even those who have undergone certain training, cannot react, but high-level ability users with actual combat experience may not be able to react.

From the time shock therapy was developed until now, Natsume-san has suffered many injuries on many people.

The senior who hunted tigers with a bow and arrow last time and the boy wearing strange goggles reacted immediately.

But even a person with a large lung capacity cannot withstand the pursuit of a certain meathead.

With this move, coupled with invisibility and flight, Natsume-san can deal with a fully armed modern army.

Having said so much, Jie Biao Danxi now faced a very embarrassing situation.

That is, the vision she uses to judge the things around her has failed. Since she cannot judge the authenticity of things, she cannot determine the accuracy of the coordinates.

Under this situation, even moving herself became impossible, and she could not guarantee where she would move.

"Who the hell are you?"

Jie Biao Danxi's companion couldn't help but take a step back and said solemnly, as if he was frightened by the strange scene around him.

As soon as he finished speaking, his muscles began to bulge, and he looked like he was a physically enhanced esper.

The intimidating power of a certain man with a round head seemed to be greater than expected. His short stature alone made a group of big men afraid to step forward.

"The pinched girl fell to death. Now I'm arresting you for robbery and intentional injury to the current criminal."

The girl wearing a pale white ice mask spoke calmly, raising her head slightly to look particularly quiet.

Then he imitated the movement in a certain space and pulled the shield armband on his right shoulder, which was regarded as declaring the legitimacy of law enforcement.

It was obviously a normal action, but Natsume Sonoko, who was hiding under the mask, felt inexplicably ashamed. Her personality was still very different from that of Shirai-san.

He doesn't have a strong sense of justice, but he wants to do what he thinks is right.

Although Natsume-san is a little confused about what real justice is, she still has her own way of judging that kind of thing.

Chapter 242: One-hit kill method

Academy City is still peaceful today.

Whistling, vehicles transporting goods leisurely passed by on the road. The driver couldn't help but rub his eyes, and found that there were layers of confusing light and shadow at the end of his field of vision, followed by an overwhelming and deafening sound. .

The driver didn't dare to delay and hurriedly stepped on the accelerator to leave.

School District [-] has the only cemetery in Academy City. Even though it is a scientific city, it is still a bit numb.

In a world shrouded in illusory images, Jiebiao Danxi placed the box containing the remains of the tree diagram designer behind her, holding a military flashlight in one hand and trembling slightly in the other.

The companions around Jiebiao Danxi looked at each other and nodded towards Jiebiao Danxi.

In a very short period of time, the eight people began to scatter, not only for Jiebiao Danxi to find out the authenticity of the surrounding scene, but also to distract the attackers.

They also saw that the discipline committee member who suddenly appeared here was very restrained.

However, the charge like a suicide squad did not achieve very good results. Less than a moment after rushing out, they encountered a fierce counterattack. To be precise, all eight people hit the wall headfirst.

At the same time, a large hole suddenly appeared on the ground. Since the coordinates of the surrounding objects cannot be determined, the easiest way is to use the soil under your feet.

Jiebiao Danxi can move other objects much faster than moving herself, and there is no problem with psychological barriers.

The soil under his feet suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was like a curtain falling in front of Natsume-san's eyes, blocking the sight contact between the two people.

But this dirt is not the main means of fighting. The cork opener in the pocket of Yubi Danxi's school uniform, the sharp and barbed needle was directly inserted into Natsume's abdomen.

It's not a real person, it's just an illusion like those buildings.

His eyes caught a glimpse of the cork opener falling to the ground, and Jie Biao Danxi immediately reacted in his brain.

Taking advantage of the gap between the falling dirt, he started running wildly in a direction that the eight companions had not chosen before. However, he also hit a solid object, and the suitcase in his hand fell aside under the impact.

Rubbing her forehead, Jiubiao Danxi gritted her teeth, and the trembling of her palms became more intense.

There is no exit, so we can only use coordinates to move.

But under the current situation, even if the calculation was repeated a hundred times, the safety of the formula's landing point could not be determined. Jiebiao Danxi's face suddenly turned pale.

"Do you want to use space ability transfer? But there are not only buildings around, but also some ice walls I set up. The obstacle range is wider than you think."

The ball-headed figure wearing the mask of Magical Girl Kanami reminded in a low voice.

Although Natsume-san seems to be staying here, no one can tell where she is actually.

Under the light controlled by Natsume Sonoko, the moisture in the air is not enough to create a fog layer covering a large area, but it can be used as a supplement to this abandoned apartment area.

In order to lead these people into the prepared area, Natsume-san stayed on the roof of their car for a while until everything was ready before taking action.

Now that she had learned some of the weaknesses of the person in front of her from Uiharu, Natsume-san was prepared in advance.

If it can be called psychological trauma in the information, then it will definitely not be easily overcome. As long as you put some effort into it, Natsume-san can increase your chances of catching this girl.

"Your attack is over, then it's my turn."

Natsume Sonoko's voice was transmitted to the ears of the girl across from her. She could not hear her usual vigor at all, but instead had a hint of anger.

This girl named Yubiao Danki is basically two different types of people from Natsume Sonoko.

She can transmit sharp weapons into other people's bodies without mercy. She is a violent woman who uses her abilities wantonly.

In Natsume-san's heart, the girl in front of her has been placed in the same position as the ANBU member, and her level of disgust is only lower than that of the white-haired villain.

Natsume-san doesn't dare to look down upon such people, nor does he want to deal with them.

The exception should be the bow and arrow tiger-senpai. Since we separated last time, Natsume-san has also seen her in the school garden several times. Weeping Sakura Academy is not very far from Tokiwadai.

But what made Natsume-san a little concerned was that the senior seemed to be actively avoiding him, even though he had done nothing.

Thinking of this, Natsume-san felt a little depressed.

"I don't care what you do with the remains of the tree designer. If you leave Academy City honestly, maybe I will be deceived by Misaka-senpai into not intervening in this matter."

"But you did something in District [-] that made me very angry. That's why I'm here. I'm going to send you where you should go."

The shadow of Natsume-san continued to speak, with the same dull look on his face.

"School District [-]? He's the disciplinary committee member who can move through space."

Jie Biao Danxi took a few steps back and pressed her body against the invisible wall.

As she spoke, a fierce battle was going on in her head whether to move or not.

But she couldn't make a decision for a long time, which made her mentally confused.
