Academy City Temperature Control

In fact, all drinks can be detonated, as long as there is water in them, but the effect of adding carbon dioxide may be better.

Natsume Sonoko was studying the differences in various drinks in a seemingly useless way. She was purely striving for perfection and pursuing the maximization of art.

It would be better to study something today. Natsume Sonoko glanced at the treasure chests under the bed, but she still sat in her position with her own willpower.

After studying the magic mirror ice crystal in his head for a while, Natsume Sonoko stood up and walked to the bathroom a little depressed, almost forgetting a very important thing.

Turning on the light in the bathroom, Natsume Sonoko squatted in the bathroom, filled a few basins of water, put the purchased mice in them, touched the water, and soon 60 lifelike mice frozen in the ice appeared in Natsume In front of the garden.

"I don't want to spend a night with these things."

Natsume Sonoko thought a little hesitantly, then staggered and moved the washbasin to the protective window outside the window. Just cool down once before going to bed.

Finally, everything was ready. Natsume Sonoko lay down directly on the sofa, changed into a comfortable position and took out her tablet.

"Oh, that's all for today's formula study." Natsume Sonoko thought to herself.

Natsume Sonoko's eyes were fixed on the tablet. She held the tablet with two palms and flipped it up and down as if she were driving a car. Suddenly, the range of movements increased. The right end of her right hand went straight to the ceiling, and then she turned to turn her left hand upward. .

"What's important in playing racing games is continuous drifting through corners." Natsume Sonoko, who left No. 2 dozens of meters behind, showed a faint smile.

Turn off the lights and go to bed, it's already very late.

Natsume Sonoko was lying on the sofa and had fallen asleep, but there was a tangled expression on her face, and her hands were unconsciously scratching out of thin air, as if she had been disturbed by something.

"It's so noisy. Who can't sleep at night?"

He suddenly sat up from the bed. Natsume Sonoko's hair was messy and draped on her shoulders. Her eyes were almost closed due to sleepiness. The pajamas on her body were also a bit tattered. It seemed that she had turned over again.

A certain Natsume Sonoko rubbed her eyes and looked around angrily.

Of course she didn't see anything, because she was the only one in the room.

"Meow meow."

"Kaci, kaci."

Found it, it turns out the culprit is here.

Getting off the sofa, he suddenly opened the window and saw a pair of green eyes looking straight at Natsume Sonoko, who was so frightened that he took several steps back.

"What, it turns out to be a cat." Natsume Sonoko touched her forehead, wiped away the non-existent sweat, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Through the moonlight, you can vaguely see a black outline of a wild cat sitting on the protective window. It has two paws pulling at the ice, and the sharp claws rub against the ice, making a screeching sound.

The ice has melted less than half, but under normal circumstances it may be possible to hold on until tomorrow, but if there are wild cats, that may not be the case. Maybe you will only find a few vacuum packaging bags when you wake up tomorrow.

"What a small cat. It looks like it's only a few months old. It must be a wild cat around here." Natsume Sonoko hesitated for a moment, walked to the bed and took out a can of mackerel from the box, opened it and placed it in front of the wild cat.

"I can't give these mice to you. Just leave as soon as you finish eating. Don't disturb my sleep." Natsume Sonoko put her hands on her hips and looked at the wild cat with her head down and eating cans with dissatisfaction.

The wild cat seemed to be full after eating the can. It meowed a few times and quickly ran to a nearby telephone pole.

Natsume Sonoko froze the mouse again and put a small bucket on it, and then he continued to sleep peacefully.

.....Dividing line.....

“I heard from a friend’s classmate that on a sultry night, when a boy was passing by a deserted and about to be abandoned park, a woman standing still appeared nearby and asked him how to get to the station. ."

The light outside seemed to be blocked by something, and the surrounding environment seemed particularly dark.

Saten Ruiko-san shined the light of her mobile phone on her face and spoke slowly in an extremely deep voice.

"After the boy kindly told her how to go, the woman with a somewhat hollow look in her eyes gently raised her hand."

Saten-san suddenly took a deep breath and glanced at the people nearby with vigilant eyes. Seeing everyone's nervous expressions, he spoke slowly.

Saying this, Saten-san suddenly paused and raised one hand high, as if imitating the woman in the words.

Uiharu-san swallowed, and Shirai-san had a look of horror on his face. He unconsciously hugged Misaka-senpai beside him with both hands, but was knocked down by a blaster.

On the other hand, Natsume Sonoko enjoyed this atmosphere very much. Her eyes showed interest and she looked seriously at Saten who was telling stories with great interest.

"Then suddenly!"

"What happened suddenly?" Misaka-senpai obviously felt very involved and couldn't help but ask.

"All of a sudden he took off his shirt."

"Forehead?"

"Ok?"

"..."

"This isn't scary at all." Misaka-senpai suddenly lifted the black cloth on everyone's heads, stood up and said a little frantically, waving her hands in the air.

"It's really disappointing. The atmosphere we worked so hard to create ended up with content like this." Shirai-san nodded and said with deep sympathy.

"Wouldn't you be scared if you suddenly meet her on the street? After all, she is a legendary stripper who suddenly takes off her shirt in a public place." Saten-san didn't agree with Misaka-senpai and Shirai-san's words, so he explained said.

"It will indeed make people jump, and then they will feel that Academy City's social issues have reached a point where they cannot be ignored."

Natsume, who was sitting blankly on the side, spoke up. After all, she was the only one among the people here who had seen the true form of the legend, so she thought she had a strong say.

"Really? Natsume-san, have you seen it?" Uiharu-san asked in surprise.

"Really, I've seen it."

"so envious."

"What's there to envy?" Natsume Sonoko asked in confusion.

"So, how about this legend?" Uiharu-san smiled and took out his laptop from his bag and opened a website that Natsume Sonoko was particularly familiar with.

"When the windmills for wind power generation run in reverse, something special will happen in Academy City." Uiharu classmate read out an urban legend word for word.

"You cannot cross the school zone boundary at 44:[-] in the evening, otherwise you will get lost and enter the illusory school zone." Saten-san then read out the next sentence.

"An item that can enhance your abilities just by using it - Fantasy Controller."

"Academy City's underground experiment, a mysterious machine that can change the weather."

"The weirdo with six arms."

"A man who can neutralize all abilities."

Classmate Shirai couldn't help but sigh when he heard it. He shook his head and said, "Don't look at such boring websites. These are urban legends without scientific basis."

"No, I heard that many of these incidents happened in reality." Natsume Sonoko immediately retorted.

"Well, the rumors about the mysterious weather machine happened in real life. Heavy snow suddenly fell by the hot lake. Uiharu and I both saw it with our own eyes." Saten-san said with the same feeling.

Chapter 43 The Attacked Research Institute

"By the way, how is the investigation on the serial bombings going?"

Natsume Sonoko asked curiously. She had been busy looking for her bicycle recently, but she didn't pay much attention to the earlier bombing.

"The culprit has been caught. His ability is level 2 quantum speed change, but because of something, it has been upgraded to LV4. Fortunately, it didn't cause any bigger commotion."

Shirai-san leaned on his head with one hand and shook a drink in his other hand.

"Thanks to Maeda-senpai's ability, I went back in time and saw the suspicious person near the bombing. Although there was a little trouble in the final arrest, it went smoothly overall." Shirai thought for a while and said, Although she was not injured during the arrest, she was still knocked unconscious.

"The criminal's ability is very dangerous. He can use aluminum cans to make bombs, and even small objects such as spoons and key rings can cause a big explosion." Uiharu said with lingering fear.

"According to the latest investigation by the security officers, he improved his abilities by using a prop called Fantasy Controller. Many recent incidents involving people with abilities were caused by this thing. It's true that he would do evil as soon as he had the ability. .”

Seemingly finding it a bit troublesome, Shirai-san sighed, with a sad look on his face. With the appearance of the Fantasy Master, the work of the Discipline Committee has increased significantly, and there are also higher-level ability users, which greatly increases the level of danger.

"So that's it. Shirai-san is really working hard." Natsume Sonoko nodded, expressing her sympathy for Shirai-san.

"Fantasy Controller? Our school even asked the fierce dormitory to tell us that we must not use Fantasy Controller." Misaka-senpai said immediately, seeming to remember her fright when being stopped by the dormitory-sama last night.

"Can using Fantasy Gauntlet really improve your abilities?" Saten-san sat aside and muttered to himself.

"Natsume-san, how is your bicycle theft case? You have been secretly investigating it alone these days. Ordinary citizens can just wait for the results in the dormitory. Don't always show off your strength."

Shirai-san raised his head and looked at Natsume Sonoko helplessly and said.

"Okay, I know what's appropriate. Shirai-san is very lenient. Are you my mother?" Natsume Sonoko squinted her eyes and looked directly at Shirai-san's scrutinizing gaze, without losing any of her momentum. He said a little unwillingly.

"Boom."

A huge explosion sounded out of thin air, and even the ground had obvious signs of shaking.

The explosion only lasted for a few seconds, and everything around them became quiet again. Several people hurriedly grabbed the tables and chairs around them to stabilize themselves, and looked at each other in confusion.

"Did something explode somewhere?" Misaka-senpai said with some concern.

About a minute later, Uiharu's cell phone suddenly rang. The ringtone was a very ordinary folk song.

"This is Shiri Uiharu, senior sister Gufamiwei, yes, yes, I understand." Uiharu classmate answered the phone, her face gradually became serious, and several people around her looked at it curiously. Uiharu classmate.

"What happened?" Saten asked strangely.

"Shirai-san, there seems to be a huge explosion in a nearby research institute. We need to assist the security guards in evacuating the nearby people." Uiharu-san put away his mobile phone and said anxiously.

"How could something like this happen in broad daylight? In early spring, let's act quickly."

Although Shirai-san was complaining, he still quickly put on the Disciplinary Committee's armband and hurried to the location where Kufa-senpai sent him along with Uiharu-san.

"I'm going to help too." Misaka-senpai grabbed Shirai-san's arm and said insistently.

"Really, this kind of thing has nothing to do with ordinary citizens."

"We can all do our part in evacuating the masses. This is not just the responsibility of the disciplinary committee." Saten also stood up and answered firmly.

"I'm here to help, too." Natsume Sonoko raised her arms silently, indicating that she could do it too.

School District [-], Advanced Armed Forces Research Institute.

Violent explosions occurred one after another, and rubble flew from everywhere, injuring several students who were passing by.

The originally tall research institute building has turned into ruins, and the ground has even sunk dozens of meters, forming a huge underground cavity nearby.

The wreckage of the guard robot was thrown far to the roadside under the high-intensity shock wave. The surface was severely broken, and the electronic components inside had emitted dazzling sparks.

The security guards were always so fast. Within 10 minutes of the explosion, several armored vehicles and dozens of security guards arrived at the scene.

Since it belongs to the seventh school district, the security guards who appear are still Teacher Huang Quan and Teacher Tiezhuang.

"Captain Huang Quan, it has been confirmed that the murderer who caused the explosion is still inside." The iron-clad teacher reported in a soft voice.

"Haha, the incident this time was so big that it almost destroyed an entire commercial street. I don't know what the higher-ups thought of building such a dangerous research institute in a downtown area."

Teacher Huangquan said angrily, watching the aftermath of the explosion become more and more powerful, and the huge heat transmitted could be felt from a distance.

"Why are there students nearby? What do they do?" Teacher Huang Quan asked with a frown as he looked at several nearby students who were helping to deal with injured passers-by.

"They are the disciplinary committee members nearby. I will ask them to leave right now." The iron-clad teacher replied, and after that, he trotted to where several disciplinary committee members were.

"Well, you are still students, get out of here quickly." The weak-voiced guard teacher rushed to the injured person's position and said anxiously.

"Wait a minute, Natsume-san will stop the bleeding soon." Uiharu-san sat on the ground, sweating profusely, and helped a seriously injured person to be carried onto a stretcher nearby.

As the iron-clad teacher turned his attention, he saw a little girl with a bun and a dusty body squatting on the ground, staring at the wound with her eyes, but after a while, the blood that had flowed out began to clot. got up.

The little girl's face was a little panicked and she looked a little confused.Although there may be some minor problems in the future, there is no good medical treatment at the moment, so we can only make do with it.

Natsume Sonoko's ability cannot directly affect the human body, but it can indirectly affect a person's surface.

"I'm almost done here." Several passers-by were seriously injured at the scene, but with Misaka-senpai's presence as a pacemaker, most of them were out of danger.

"What happened here?" Natsume Sonoko was still a little confused. The quiet and peaceful urban life seemed to be still in front of her, but she turned a few streets and saw such a tragic scene in front of her.

Different from the established plot in anime, there are always many unexpected events happening in Academy City in reality.

Misaka-senpai, Shirai-san and Uiharu-san were very calm. Although Saten-san was a little scared at first, he soon calmed down.

On the contrary, Natsume Sonoko exaggerated her psychological quality, and she still has lingering fears.

The explosion flames soaring into the sky rolled up a huge heat wave, and the waves hit Natsume Sonoko.

"It seems like there's no heat wave here anymore."

After feeling the waves of heat just now, Teacher Tiezhuang felt a little strangely that the surrounding environment was pleasant.

Due to the presence of Natsume Sonoko, the burning heat wave was cooled down into a warm spring breeze as soon as it could get close to a few people.

"Everyone is on alert, live ammunition is allowed."

Teacher Huang Quan looked seriously at the center of the explosion, frowning tightly, and stared at the flames burning in the underground cavity with wide eyes.

At this moment, a strange humanoid creature walked out of the flames.
