Academy City Temperature Control

Misaka-senpai finally got rid of some negative emotions, but there were still some areas that needed to be avoided for the time being. A certain meathead unknowingly got involved in the work of a psychiatrist.

However, Natsume-san also noticed the change in Shokuhou-senpai's title, and couldn't help but feel nervous.

Many people around him knew more or less the character of a certain meatball head, and they tried not to appear affectionate when communicating. However, a certain railgun suddenly changed his words, which seemed to create a domino effect, which made Natsume-san a little troubled.

"Before the mass production of ability users started, in order to test the survival time of the clones, adjust the cloning technology, and test the Misaka network, someone within the talent laboratory proposed to make a prototype first."

"And this prototype can be seen as the beginning of more than 2 sisters, also known as No. [-]."

Having said this, Shokuhou Misaki took a certain dazed ball head to the stairs of the apartment and gave up his position to his sisters who were testing new toys.

However, the younger sisters looked at the two chatting people from time to time, and seemed to be particularly curious about the girl who was all shiny.

"Talent room? It's where you stayed before, senior sister."

Natsume-san put one hand on the railing, with a hint of thoughtfulness on her face. She had heard of the Talent Workshop.

Shokuhou-senpai came from a genius training institution called the Talent Workshop, and developed to the level of a superpower there.

And the school's seniors Junko Hokaze and senior Yusuru Nuka are both students from that place. This is not a big secret in Tokiwadai Middle School.

In fact, before entering Tokiwadai, a considerable number of students had similar experiences, receiving ability development in well-known or unknown research institutions.

But in this case, many of the original far-fetched reasons can be explained clearly.

Suddenly, it dawned on Natsume that he had caught some clues.

Even though the relationship between the two seniors is so bad, Shokuhou-senpai still spends a lot of time and energy to pay attention to her sisters.

"What the senior wants to tell me must be related to No. [-]. In other words, the senior has already known the sisters since they were in the labor room."

Trying to keep her eyes open, Natsume-san tried to get answers from Shokuhou-senpai, but she probably already knew something in her heart.

Apart from relevant researchers, in fact, the first person to know the sisters was not Accelerator or himself, but Shokuhou-senpai.

Chapter 398 Gathering

The first encounter between Shokuhou-senpai and her sisters started from the experimental needs of researchers.

In the cold experimental facility, the two girls got to know each other and became good friends, and this relationship has been entangled until now several years later, all of which seemed to be waiting for another reunion.

"Her name is Dolly. When I first met her, her body could no longer support her. And I was arranged to be by her side, just playing the role of Dolly's friend Xiaotei, so that she could successfully complete the remaining tasks. Come down for the experiment.”

Shokuhou-senpai's voice rang in her ears, with an unwarranted vibrato in her tone. It was obvious that this incident had a great impact on her.

Natsume-san rarely saw Shokuhou-senpai lose her composure, and she suddenly felt a deep sense of depression welling up in her heart.

"As the first prototype produced, although Dolly's own value has been infinitely increased, it is still just an experimental consumable that can be discarded."

"Dolly's body has long been riddled with holes in order to cooperate with the experiments. However, in order to squeeze out the remaining research value, the researchers conducted a large number of high-load observation experiments in Dolly's last days, resulting in Dolly not reaching the expected life span. The limit cannot be sustained.”

Looking blankly at the sisters below, Shokuhou-senpai thought of many things, and Xingxing's pupils couldn't help but darken.

It was originally just a task assigned by researchers, but when she witnessed Dolly's death, Shokuhou Misaki realized that she had long regarded Dory as an important friend.

However, she had been cooperating with the researchers to deceive the other party, indirectly accelerating Dolly's death. The heartbreaking feeling crushed Shokuhou Misaki, who was young at the time.

The bleak past is entangled in this pair of starry eyes that can see through people's hearts, and once formed the original values ​​​​of this person with psychological mastery.

In this city, things of no value are thrown away, whether they are valued or not.

"Senior, do you also want revenge..."

I don't know what happened, Natsume Sonoko clenched her fists inexplicably nervously, and even her breathing became rapid.

She didn't want another senior to fall into that kind of sad thing.

Natsume-san knew that she had no reason to persuade, and she even supported it in her heart, but she just couldn't accept that possible future.

"Revenge? Sonoko, what are you thinking about?"

Shokuhou-senpai was a little dumbfounded, silently looking at the nervous Marukotou classmate in front of her, and suddenly said with a smile.

In a sense, her revenge has been completed long ago. The former talent studio was reduced to ashes, and part of the venue became the private property of the blonde girl.

"And I'm not Misaka-san. I won't be easily influenced by anger. Some things require compromise rather than confrontation. Actually, I want to invite Sonoko to do something. Find Dolly and return it. There's Kotori, before Kotori launches his next attack on the Overlord Council."

"I cheated on Dolly, so I want to get the real Xiaotei back and make up for the mistakes I made in the past."

Shokuhou-senpai spoke word by word with her pupils shining brightly, her serious look looking particularly beautiful under the sunlight.

"Dolly, is she still alive?"

After being slightly stunned, Natsume-san said uncertainly.

She couldn't keep up with the other person's thoughts, but that was indeed what it meant.

"Just yesterday, I got some new information from Kihara Gensheng's memory. The research institution at that time used Dolly's cells to create another sister."

"Before Dolly's body could no longer support it, the research institution conducted a final test experiment to test the feasibility of Misaka Network and memory sharing. After the experiment, everything about Dolly was transferred to that new body. "

Taking a deep breath, Shokuhou-senpai rarely could suppress her joy.

With the same memories and experiences, the personality is recreated and various emotions are gradually generated.

In this case, can the transferred Dolly be regarded as the same person, and whether there are two identical flowers in the world.

Natsume-san was in a daze, and her head seemed to be stuck in a state of agnosticism.

But then I got an answer that I thought was right.

Natsume-san feels that souls may really exist in this world, and souls are the essence of a person.

Then the person who carries everything about Dolly cannot be Dolly, but another familiar stranger.

She could understand Shokuhou-senpai's joy, but she felt uncomfortable about the possible truth.

"In that case, let's set off quickly, senior."

Raising her head and staring at the girl in front of her, Natsume-san suggested softly. She almost understood Shokuhou-senpai's thoughts.

As for Dolly's friend Xiaotei, there is a high probability that it is police officer Kantei.

That kind of crazy guy seems to have an unknown side.

Just like Misaka-senpai, she opened up the dark side of her heart, and in the end she didn't even recognize herself.

If something similar happened to her, would she have the courage to take revenge, Natsume-san couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

Under the clear sky, the tornado behind the girl was shining, constantly reflecting the light and shadow in the environment.

After leaving Misaka Apartment, Natsume Sonoko took Shokuhou Misaki across several school districts to an area where a large group of armed incompetent people gathered.

"Only one person can log in to the external brain at the same time. As Kihara Gensei and I lost control of the external brain one after another, the person who logged in has become a police officer."

"And before the other party voluntarily gives up control, even I can't seize it. And until now, the police officer still firmly controls the external brain."

After boarding the Sonoko aircraft, a certain blond girl gained an unprecedented bonus to her movement speed. She was slightly out of breath when she spoke, and she was obviously not used to the feeling of high-speed movement.

However, considering Shokuhou-senpai's poor physical fitness, a certain ball head paid great attention to controlling acceleration to prevent any serious accidents.

During the flight, Shokuhou-senpai had explained the existence of the external substitute brain to a certain meathead, and also confirmed that the police officer was the target of their operation this time.

"In this case, the police are planning to use the external agent brain to attack the governing council."

Natsume-san said in surprise.

Although the plan to cooperate with Kihara Gensei failed, the girl in purple nurse uniform seemed to have thought of another way.

"According to the information I received, groups of armed incompetents from multiple school districts have gathered in Academy City's First School District, a place lined with many administrative agencies."

"If it weren't for the spontaneous gathering of those incompetent people, it would only be a police decision."

"However, armed incompetent people cannot attack any of the organs of the General Council. It is more likely to cover her next actions."

Shokuhou-senpai said.

Chapter 399 Idiot appearance

In Academy City, any attack on the governing council is a serious crime.

Once this kind of felony is tried by the juvenile court, it will basically be sent to the reformatory school in the [-]th School District.

Although Natsume-san thinks that locking up those guys from the armed incompetent group won't be a big problem, she also feels that the police officer Kantori went too far.

No matter what, this kind of fishing law enforcement is not worth promoting.

I don't know where my thoughts have strayed. Natsume Sonoko still has some prejudice against these delinquent youth groups.

Cases of attacks on ability users often occur in Academy City, and these guys are undoubtedly the main force in the attack cases.

After all, Natsume Sonoko is a member of the group of capable people, so she naturally stands on the side of the capable people.

However, she has recently seen another side from Senior Sister Gufa.

Attacks or soft violence against the incompetent are more common in Academy City, and some groups of armed incompetents have emerged as a result. This makes it difficult for Natsume-san to deny the existence of the other party in a righteous tone.

"If it's what Shokuhou-senpai said, we really can't let this happen."

After thinking about some things, Natsume calmed down her inner emotions slightly, nodded and said.

The girl named Police Kantori is about to lose her mind.

Unless someone can pull her back from the edge of the cliff, her head will definitely be bruised and bloody, and a large number of controlled and armed incompetent people will be affected.

Natsume Sonoko doesn't want to be a savior, and she doesn't have much enthusiasm for saving bad boys. She just seems to see the hoarse Misaka-senpai in the police officer Kantori.

With so many unhappy things happening, it would be nice to have a chance to undo a tragedy or two.

The most important thing is the blond girl in front of her. Shokuhou-senpai has been helping her, so she also has to help her.

"But there is still a big problem. I can't resist the attack of the external brain, and I might even be watched and controlled by the police."

After hesitating for a while, Natsume-san continued to express a concern in his heart.

She didn't expect that she would have to face that thing again so soon.

Even if the electromagnetic barrier has been added to the development sequence along with the thermodynamic conversion formula, it is impossible for any formula to be practical so quickly and requires a lot of verification and trial and error.

In fact, Natsume-san slacked off because of Kihara Gensei's defeat, and lost the sense of urgency at that time. Instead of focusing on developing the electromagnetic barrier immediately, many formulas were developed simultaneously.

But now another alarm bell sounded. Natsume-san came to his senses and immediately changed the priority of the computer in Zero's body, putting the main task on the development of the electromagnetic barrier, which could be regarded as a way to make up for the situation.

"You don't need to worry about this."

Shokuhou-senpai smiled slightly. She knew the concerns of a certain ball head, and she also knew that these concerns were not directed at her.

"The effect of the external brain substitute is very powerful, but after all it is just a foreign object. As long as I want to, I can still interrupt the opponent's actions once or twice."

There was more confidence in his shining pupils. Under the protection of a powerful bodyguard, Shokuhou Misaki was not worried about the power the opponent had.

There is generally a certain resistance between people with the same system's abilities, which is especially obvious among those with psychological system abilities.

The original Kihara Gensei also had to make Shokuhou Misaki completely lose his ability to resist before he could invade the opponent's brain.

Moreover, the battlefield between mental system ability users usually takes place in the bodies of both parties. Under this premise, an attack by either party can cause the other party to have to defend itself.

This also means that Shokuhou Misaki can unexpectedly interrupt the opponent's psychological control.

However, once the opponent is on guard, the effect of this interruption is greatly reduced.

"I understand."

Nodding slightly, Natsume-san said softly.

One or two interruptions were enough, even more than expected.

It is not difficult for Natsume-san to deal with people with normal mental system abilities. As long as he gets close to the opponent, he will basically win, especially if there are one or two opportunities for error.

.....

In the lively atmosphere of girls whispering, even the whistling wind brought with it some fragrance.

A certain temperature-controlled girl found her rare self-confidence, and the smile on her lips slightly raised, looking confident.

There is no problem in this way. Natsume-san has already brought himself into the invincible scene where people are blocking the killer and the Buddha is blocking the killer.

As long as they are normal humans, Natsume-san can deal with them. This is what a person with superpowers should look like.

Okay, let's put aside the confident girl with a round head for now. After climbing over one towering building after another that looked very expensive at first glance, the two girls finally arrived at their destination quickly and slowly.

At the junction of School Districts [-] and [-], there is a lakeside park that provides camping and fishing services.

The main gate of the park was tightly closed. This was a rare situation during the Daihasei Festival event day. Students and parents should at least be received well.
