Academy City Temperature Control

"What happened over there at Shokuhou, Sonoko, do you have any clues?"

Misaka-senpai put down the ointment in her hand and said.

Although the relationship with Shokuhou Misaki is hard to explain, now we must find Shokuhou Misaki.

Now that she has figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, Misaka-senpai knows that the blond girl was implicated by herself, but she just doesn't know what happened to her, which led to her mental control ability being taken away.

"I don't know. We can only find Kihara Gensheng first."

Shaking her head with disheveled hair, Natsume Sonoko said helplessly.

She originally wanted to use the force field phase to track Shokuhou-senpai's traces, but found that she didn't know the information and characteristics of the aim force field of that senior, so naturally she couldn't track it.

An idea suddenly came to her mind. In the future, she would record the aim diffusion fields of some ability users from time to time, which might make it easier for her to find people.

This method of finding people is a bit like the ANBU girl I met last time. Unexpectedly, Natsume-san has similar methods now. This is undoubtedly very good news.

Although it's a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, and you need to slowly search the entire force field phase, there is a possibility of finding it after all.

However, after applying the ointment, a stream of cool breath flowed into the skin, which slightly relieved the pain and made Natsume-san look better.

In this incident, solving Kihara Gensei and rescuing Shokuhou-senpai are equally important, but they are not as urgent as Misaka-senpai.

In Natsume Sonoko's view, rescuing Misaka-senpai is only half of the task. She can't relax yet. Fortunately, Misaka-senpai has joined the fighting team.

Chapter 377 Robot

Even though there are no clear clues yet, it is not very difficult for Natsume-san to find Shokuhou-senpai.

There is no shortage of ways to find people in Academy City. The second-year senior sister in her club has the ability to see the past.

Just from the perspective of finding things, he can be called the little Sherlock Holmes of Academy City.

This ability once played a big role in helping me find a bicycle. Currently, the bicycle is spending the rest of my life in the small garden of the dormitory. From time to time, it is ordered to be cleaned by the dormitory master due to dust accumulation.

Now let me ask you a favor. With Natsume Sonoko's status as the mascot in the club, it is easy to ask for help from that senior sister.

Speaking of her family's salted fish club, Natsume-san is still in a state of dawdling. She gets some club activity funds every month, but she always spends them on some weird things.

But there is one prerequisite that needs to be remembered, that is, Kihara Gensei must be dealt with first.

From Natsume Sonoko's point of view, after solving Kihara Gensei, other problems were basically solved.

Kihara Gensei is the biggest problematic character in this incident, and Misaka-senpai's problem is actually just an extension in a certain sense.

But what worries Natsume-san even more is that she inexplicably feels that she cannot deal with Gensei Kihara. This premonition is getting stronger and stronger, and has turned into some kind of inexplicable intuition.

This is not a modest statement. Although Kihara Gensheng's position has been mastered by himself, after all, that person knows most of his details, and he seems to be loaded with many targeted ability plug-ins.

Coupled with that kind of super-wide psychological control, even if Natsume-san is prepared to avoid the front and implement sneak attack tactics, she still doesn't have much confidence in her heart.

Unless she can take the time to develop the new perceptions she has gained, make up for some of her shortcomings, and become a person who seems to have no obvious weaknesses.

People with super powers are undoubtedly top-notch among all the students in Academy City, but extending this scope to Academy City is particularly weak. No one knows how many cards those guys who control the lifeblood of the city have.

A driving armor capable of suppressing ordinary ability users can be used as cannon fodder by a small ANBU organization. Unmanned armed helicopters like Liukayu are only of conventional combat effectiveness. Even a super combat machine that can fire railguns wildly is dispatched. She was not surprised.

Under this very real situation, it was actually difficult for Natsume Sonoko to guarantee that she could win over Gensei Kihara, even if the old man looked weak.

However, there was one thing that made Natsume-san particularly confused, and she wondered if there was something wrong.

From beginning to end, Natsume-san's ability cannot affect the human body, even if it extends heat perception.

In other words, many people with abilities who need to draw power from the environment cannot get feedback directly from the human body.

For example, the fourth-place Atom Breaker, if her ability could be extended to the human body and manipulated the atoms in the human body to de-electrify, then she would be simply invincible. Natsume-san would also take a detour when he saw her.

This must be related to human beings themselves. Maybe they all have souls like themselves, and souls can effectively prevent the intrusion of other people's personal reality.

This is the most reasonable explanation that Natsume Sonoko came up with during this period of time.

Likewise, this is one of the reasons why Natsume-san has always regarded her sisters as normal human beings.

The sisters are genuine human beings, there is no doubt about that.

However, there are often abilities that can affect the human body and even control humans.

This does not mean that personal reality has truly broken through the limitations that may exist in the human body. It is more like a routine intrusion based on what reality allows.

According to Natsume-san's understanding, even Shokuhou-senpai needs to use brain waves or something else as a medium.Accelerator's body surface reflex can ignore the senior's ability, which shows that psychological control does not directly affect the human body.

For another example, Shirai-san and the delinquent girl named Yuubiao Danki can both insert steel needles into the human body.

However, based on the principle of space movement, the ability users of these space systems need to break away from the three-dimensional space and then detour to the eleven-dimensional space, perhaps thus avoiding the protection of the soul.

Of course, the spirit of inquiry is worth encouraging, but none of them have experienced any scientific or rigorous verification. Natsume only looked for some cases from her own side.

But one thing is certain, Natsume cannot extend her ability into the human body, so for her, the image of the human body is a vacuum in her brain.

Natsume-san has long since perfected his own radar map, to be precise, it is a vacuum heat dual induction radar.

But Kihara Gensei is very strange.

Natsume-san remembered that he had scanned the location where Kihara Gensei had appeared before. Not only did there not be any heat, but there was also no human body vacuum phenomenon as expected, and it was automatically ignored by the radar map.

"Kihara Gensei shouldn't be a robot, just like the Terminator in the movie."

Natsume couldn't help but feel a chill as she thought of a Hollywood movie she had watched.

This situation is obviously very likely to happen. After all, this is Academy City, and it might be possible to give robots a will.

Or maybe I didn't observe carefully just now. Kihara Gensei was not a robot, but just loaded with some mechanical prosthetics, and he still had human parts on his body.

But the problem seems to be even bigger when adding prosthetic limbs, which can be ignored by radar maps. There is no doubt that the whole body has been modified, so is Kihara Gensei still a human being?

Thinking of this, Natsume's heart beat like a drum.

No matter what, this man is too dangerous and terrifying.

"Yuanzi, your complexion suddenly changed. Has your injury become serious?"

Wearing green Guatai casual clothes and ordinary jeans, his bare feet are on the dry ground, but due to the presence of metal inside the building, it is actually slightly floating on the ground.

At this time, Misaka-senpai's condition was also very bad, but she was still better than Natsume-san. After a little rest, she was out of her previous weak state.

"It's okay, I'm just worried about something."

Shaking her head, Natsume-san said softly, the effect of the ointment is still very good.

Natsume Sonoko has also adapted to how her senior sister calls her, although she doesn't like being called too affectionate.

"Misaka-senpai, I know a second-year senior. Her ability should be able to help find Shokuhou-senpai."

Natsume-san just started to speak, and then he realized that the senior sister in front of him seemed to have thought of something and fell into a quiet state of thinking.

"It's impossible for Shokuhou Misaki to avoid all cameras, so there are some clues. Moreover, she still has nano-robots on her body. The signals of this robot are easy to identify, so maybe she can be used as a signal receiver."

Misaka-senpai murmured.

She can also act as a receiver, but the electromagnetic waves around her are too dense and too dense, and the signal strength is not high. It is more convenient to make a receiver to receive signals.

As long as the location of the station is high enough and the receiving area is large enough, signals from most of the [-]th School District can be received.

The cleaning robots that can be seen everywhere in Academy City are very good materials. For specific production methods, you can refer to satellite pots and the like.

Chapter 378 Changes in Lingzi

Misaka-senpai's idea of ​​making a receiver similar to a satellite pot to receive nanorobot signals sounds very good.

Miss Maruko-Tou, who lacked knowledge in this area, only had a partial understanding. She nodded cooperatively out of trust in her senior sister.

Although I can't figure out the specific details of this, I always feel that it is very feasible, at least in principle.

If this method could be used to confirm Shokuhou-senpai's location, it would be much more convenient than asking Maeda-senpai from the club for help.

"Hey, senior sister looks very confident."

Looking at the red face, Natsume-san couldn't help but think.

Now that Misaka-senpai has her own ideas, she no longer insists on her own ideas.

She had never doubted this senior's accomplishments in electromagnetism. This was an inherent impression gained from long-term exposure.

In fact, Natsume-san rarely puts on a strong posture, but is very good at listening to other people's ideas. In other words, she has a somewhat reserved personality.

Although she likes to write letters or express her own opinions, she will not get angry or care about others even if she is rejected. This is why many people are willing to make friends with her.

Of course, it's another matter for a certain disciplinary committee member who always likes to deliberately make her angry.

With the gentle breeze blowing against her skin, Natsume's long black hair could not help but flutter naturally, confusing her two eyes that had basically become normal.

Even if there is a bit of gunpowder smoke in the air, it still leaves the smell of the free shampoo provided by Tokiwadai Seituryo.

Natsume-san basically doesn't spend any extra money on things that his family already owns. This can be considered as a good virtue of diligence and frugality, and he can save a considerable amount of money every month.

The injury was temporarily taken care of, but the pain in his body was still so strong, but it eventually subsided.

After only staying on the rooftop for about 5 minutes, Natsume-san's physical strength and computing power recovered a little.

After discussing the current situation with Misaka-senpai and telling them about Kihara Gensei's abnormality, the two girls couldn't help but feel a little solemn.

Just as Natsume-san thought, this incident was not over yet.

When they first came into formal contact with Kihara Gensei, the trio at Tokiwadai were almost wiped out. This lesson is still clearly in front of them, and the only one who has some resistance at present is Natsume Sonoko herself.

Therefore, Misaka-senpai must not appear in front of him until Gensei Kihara is dealt with.The Misaka network is still in a state of aggregation, and it is possible to connect to Misaka-senpai again at any time.

"Misaka-senpai, we need to act separately..."

Just when Natsume Sonoko was about to say something to her senior sister, a sudden heat source appeared in her head.

She stared blankly at the rooftop of another building a hundred meters away. A familiar girl arrived at the scene in a wheelchair, with a dark green shield armband clearly visible on her shoulder.

The rooftops of these buildings are like platforms for people to rest, giving a girl from the discipline committee who was injured and may have problems with her abilities a short rest.

In fact, when people with spatial mobility are in a hurry, they like to choose high-altitude environments with few obstacles. This not only reduces the possible risk of hitting walls, but also reduces the level of attention they attract.

After all, the disciplinary committee is not an idol or a celebrity, so increased exposure is a dangerous thing.

Natsume-san doesn't like her appearance appearing on TV or on school brochures. It makes her feel insecure.

In just a blink of an eye, the wheelchair and the girl disappeared together. Huali ignored the Natsume Sonoko trio who had been covered by light and shadow and were hiding in the dark.

"It's Shirai-san."

Natsume's brain had already reacted, but her body was a little slower. By the time he excitedly explained to Misaka-senpai, the figure had already moved away.

"We must contact Shirai-san first."

The two people looked at each other, and this thought came to their minds.

Gensei Kihara is still nearby, and his all-pervasive psychological control may take action against Shirai-san at any time. Natsume Sonoko and the others do not believe that Gensei Kihara has not investigated the people around them before.

Moreover, Accelerator is still there, and some unexpected conflicts may occur among the three parties.

But on the side, Miss Reiko was lying on the updraft with her chin in her hands, curiously observing every move of the two strange girls.

Misaka-senpai also occasionally cast her eyes on Reiko. Although she didn't know much about Reiko, she also knew that he was the headless weirdo with muscles all over his body.

After losing the active control of Natsume Sonoko, Reiko has now returned to his original appearance, with an innocent look on his face and his mouth wide open, as if to explain the fact that he is hungry.

"I don't have anything on me. When things here are resolved, I'll buy octopus balls for Reiji." This was Natsume's voice.

Natsume, who seemed to realize the meaning of opening her mouth, quickly reacted and touched her pocket in embarrassment.

The only thing she had before that could be considered food was the trial pack of Smart No. [-] Potion, which she had long forgotten.

But Natsume Sonoko immediately opened her eyes slightly, because as soon as she finished speaking, Reiji nodded thoughtfully, as if recalling the taste of octopus balls.

Reiko seemed to be able to understand some of her own words, which made Natsume Sonoko feel a little lost.

She also discovered similar changes in the state of conscious communication, but they were not as conspicuous as they were in reality.

It was only two months before the day he was born. Was Lingzi's growth really affected by him? I don't know if this was good or bad for Lingzi.

In fact, Reiko's brain and body developed normally. Under the intervention of Mr. Kiyama Haruso, she still retained some regenerative abilities left over from her original body. Her health level is even better than that of Natsume-san herself. What she lacks is just the time to recognize the world. That’s all.

It's just that Natsume-san seems to have advanced this time, and the long-term contact has also filled his head with strange ideas.

"It's time to start reducing interference with Zero."

She silently made a decision in her heart, thinking to a certain Miss Meathead who was self-aware that she would lead the children into mischief.

However, there is another point that makes Natsume-san think about it again, that is, the issue of Reiko's identity has not yet been resolved.
