Academy City Temperature Control

The disciplinary committee member, who is proficient in fishing law enforcement and likes to meddle in other people's business, will probably be seen only a few times in his life.

"This is the Discipline Committee."

"I have the current crime of following someone...well...maliciously wounding someone in a public place, maybe disorderly conduct or something like that."

"Forget it, you're arrested anyway."

In the dark alley, only vague figures could be seen standing tall, standing vertically on the walls of tall buildings.

This vague figure's face was inexplicably red. After all, he was not as familiar with Academy City's various rules and regulations as Shirai-san, which caused the disciplinary committee's aura to be inexplicably shorter.

But the next second, a white and ruddy fist slowly stretched out, imitating the seventh one and used the powerful telekinesis and air wave fist, and instantly knocked the bullying person into the depths of the alley. at.

There was no chance for the opponent to counterattack. With a flurry of air, a huge flow of hot air rushed into the opponent's mouth and nose, immediately achieving the effect of high temperature shock.

"You fell down before I even exerted any force."

Withdrawing her fist, a certain girl with superpowers whose chuunibyou became more and more serious muttered to herself.

"Next, early spring."

Natsume Sonoko said in a low voice, her expressionless face looked like a lonely master.

"It's gone. There is nothing abnormal about the others for the time being. Let's bring that person back first. If Natsume-san wants to help, you can also help sort out this person's case records."

I originally thought I would spend an extremely busy afternoon catching prisoners, but in fact most of the time was spent waiting.

The frequency of attacks by attackers has been reduced due to the intervention of armed groups, and even Natsume and the others can feel this.

Maybe it will take until Komaba Toshio is officially hospitalized and the news of the full contraction of 'skill out' gradually spreads, before a new wave of attacks will be triggered.

With the ability to rush to the scene quickly, and teammates to share the work, coupled with the ruthless strikes of the attackers, a certain ball head later turned into a complete wanderer.

Natsume-san was surprised to find that, except for her work as a disciplinary committee member, which made her feel a little anxious, she seemed to be no different from her usual self.

This is probably because there is too little work, which creates the illusion of fishing at work.

The sense of déjà vu still lingered in her head, and Natsume's expression changed slightly. She had keenly discovered some new world.

"There are newly arrived Indian poker cards. Would you like one, classmate? You can truly experience other people's dreams."

"If you have quality requirements, I have S-level cards here."

On the side of the nearby road, a bald middle-aged stall owner tried to put on a friendly smile to make himself look more approachable.

If nothing else, I knew I was in trouble as soon as I saw the Tokiwadai Middle School uniform.

In the entire Academy City, students in the Academy Garden are both rich and good at spending money, and the eldest lady of Tokiwadai Middle School is the leader among them.

Unfortunately, today's Fat Sheep classmate obviously will not fall into the trap of consumerism. She doesn't even know what Indian poker is. In fact, it is mainly economic conditions that limit her performance.

Natsume-san on the side frowned slightly, feeling that the cards in front of her looked familiar.

The smooth card surface shows different colors and has a special metallic-like texture to the touch, while the simplified CD record pattern on the back has a sci-fi effect.

After thinking for a while, some inconspicuous memories quickly came to mind.This seems to be something I encountered the last time I was with Shokuhou-senpai. It turns out to be called Indian Poker.

Is it something from America?Natsume-san seems to lack this kind of common sense.

But one thing made Natsume immediately alert. She remembered Shokuhou-senpai saying that there was actually the power of brainwashing in this.

Although the degree of brainwashing is very limited, it is probably equivalent to the level of a dream.

However, the limits of this kind of thing are not yet clear. It may be limited by materials or it may be a directly castrated version, so it is possible that it can directly brainwash others if it develops.

"Is this legal?"

I couldn't help but feel a little curious, but after all, I wasn't very good at talking. Natsume-kun managed to hold back a sentence.

Of course, Natsume-san had no intention of raiding the vendors.First of all, the disciplinary committee members did not have such rights, and she had no interest in it at all.

The time soon came to night.

I always feel that time today seems to pass a little faster. The feeling of being busy is different from when I am always idle.

At this time, it didn't feel as gloomy as it did during the day. As the dark clouds lingering over Academy City dispersed, some of the moon stars became sparse.

Although Natsume-san spent most of the day dealing with attacks by incompetent people, she also learned some unexpected things through her cell phone.

Today, Tokiwadai Middle School encountered several prank-like attacks during club activities.

There was a guy who was suspected of being a ghost and attacked several members of the Shokuhou faction. He threw water balloons and bottles and put small cards on his back. By the way, it also affected some non-sect students. It was more like a so-called attack than an attack. mischief.

This ghost was also called "a white shadow flying in the air" by many Tokiwadai students who witnessed it.

For this strange ghost that suddenly appeared, a certain ball head had a feeling of déjà vu.

However, she said that this ghost had absolutely nothing to do with her. She had a sufficient alibi and she swiped her card and left as soon as school was over.

And it is said that they are being followed closely by Komaki Makigami and Chiri Moritaka from the 003 branch of the Discipline Committee.

After hesitating for a moment in front of the dormitory, a girl with a spherical hair style stood in the yellow light, casting a distant shadow.

After a cute smile appeared on her face, Natsume-san walked through the door with a lively look on her face.

There is no need to swipe your card when you come in. The security level of the Daihasei Festival has been adjusted back to the normal state, and the ID card verification of Tokiwadai Seitutori has also been revoked.

It seems that the dormitory master doesn't like this kind of troublesome thing, but prefers to block the door himself. Perhaps this will be more helpful for the students to follow their normal schedule.

Similarly, the number of security robots that originally roamed around the Shengtu House has also been reduced a lot. After all, it is too luxurious to maintain such patrol intensity.

"Five minutes left."

"Also, don't let me see you wandering the hallway after lights out."

The dormitory master pushed up his glasses, adjusted the reflection of the lenses, and looked down at a particularly well-behaved girl.

"Yes, Master Housemaster."

The firm answer echoed around, Natsume-san is always very aware of current affairs.

When she returned to her 210 dormitory, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

As if thinking of something, he took out an orange Indian poker card from his pocket.

A certain kid still couldn't restrain his curiosity and used his few scholarships to buy one.

Chapter 426 Imitation

Wanting to try out the Indian poker she just bought, Natsume is very concerned about experiencing other people's dreams.

In particular, you can learn some useful skills or experience some interesting things, which makes the already curious girl even more excited.

But when she really wanted to do that, Natsume Sonoko's own reason immediately took over, and the vigilance in her heart overwhelmed her curiosity.

After experiencing an imaginary hand incident, she came to a very useful rule. Nine times out of ten, there is danger behind such things of unknown origin, not to mention that this thing can directly affect people's brains.In addition, a certain meatball head had a lesson learned not long ago when his brain was forcibly controlled by Kihara Gensheng, so he had to face this possibility.

She seemed to remember Shokuhou-senpai's earnest warning that day, and she reluctantly lowered her hand holding the Indian poker. She could still easily listen to what others said.

Some people are spreading this kind of thing based on similar principles of psychological control unscrupulously. The time can even be traced back to a few days before the Daihasei Festival, and yet no official agency from Academy City has chosen to intervene. This is obviously abnormal. of.

Is it because the dangers of this kind of card have not emerged yet and the officials have not put any effort into it?

Or is it simply something created by some official agencies themselves?

Thinking of this, she recalled the tiny nanomachines scattered in the air. These days, she was absolutely certain that such things were almost everywhere.

No matter how much damage was done, the number would be restored immediately. She absolutely did not believe that there were not a few large research institutions in Academy City engaged in the development and maintenance of such machines.

As for whether it is related to the official or the governing council, Natsume-san has not obtained any definite evidence, but she is certain that she is not the only person in Academy City who knows about the existence of this kind of machine.

"Experiencing other people's dreams, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be interesting. I am not some greenhouse lady who lacks vigilance."

"Right."

After taking a good look at this strangely colored card in his hand, Natsume-san hesitantly threw it into a corner.

Let's wait until tomorrow to find Shokuhou-senpai.

Even those with super powers are not necessarily invulnerable. After all, they are still ordinary people physically.Natsume-san thought to herself as she tried her best to suppress her curiosity.

Squeezing between the two bear dolls, the sofa seemed a little more crowded because of the extra large toy. Natsume took out her mobile phone and tried to find various news and gossip about this kind of card on the Internet.

To Natsume's surprise, this kind of card seemed to be more popular than she imagined.

The urban legends forum that Natsume often goes to is now flooded with posts about Indian Poker, and it no longer has the original flavor of talking about urban legends.

[Try fifteen kinds of dream delicacies to restore the original taste of the ingredients]

[New card, unlimited black tea and snack hell, come and refill]

[Private Tokiwadai Junior High School Admission Interview Simulation]

[Real driving experience of [-]-meter Gundam]

【...】

"What should I do? It's really interesting."

A depressed look appeared on his face, and Natsume-san felt that he shouldn't be watching such things.

"Hey, Amakusa-senpai, is she going to investigate Indian Poker?"

"Even that senior Hata Ranko wants to join."

After a while, the chat group of my own investigation agency was opened again, and the mascot lady was peeking at the screen again.

[Indian poker has appeared on a small scale in the school garden. I found some relevant information and think this may be related to another urban legend learning device. 】-From the quiet night

[Is there a possibility that Indian Poker is a variant of the learning device?] Maeda-senpai added an expression of realization at the end.

[Yes, an informant working in the security guard also provided similar information] It came from Hata Ranko-senpai.

Natsume-san opened her mouth slightly, and it was very concerning what the security informant thought.

Until now, Natsume-san felt that she was just joining an ordinary salted fish club.

Putting all the thoughts in his head aside, Natsume-san didn't think about the Indian Poker, but connected with Lingzi on the other side.

Communicating with Zero has long since become a daily routine.

When Lingzi gradually became conscious, the relationship between the two of them was no longer just that of a nanny and a baby.

As a guardian and elder sister, Natsume-san really wanted to teach her some principles about how to behave, but in the end, it turned into lazy and decadent remarks without motivation.

From the Daihasei Festival to now, Natsume-san has been prioritizing the development of electromagnetic barrier formulas. Fortunately, Reiko has provided most of the computing power, and some results have been achieved these days.

However, even with the cooperation of the new perception, the actual effect is not very good.

Not to mention unconsciously activating and protecting oneself like Misaka-senpai, even if it is used consciously, it will cause some uncontrolled discharge and heat.

Although it can also play a role in defensive psychological control, the movement is too loud, and it cannot only slightly affect some small animals like Misaka-senpai.

Once Natsume-san wants to turn it on for a long time, it is likely to affect her daily life.

The biggest reason for this, in addition to the incomplete formula, is also related to the lack of understanding of the operating rules of electromagnetic barriers.

After all, it's not like it's used as a weapon like atomic collapse. You can just release the attack and forget about it.Instead, it needs to be a personal barrier that is in intensive contact with oneself, and requires two important factors: stability and safety.

By the way, with the cooperation of the microscopic world, the accuracy requirements of these microscopic formulas are greatly reduced, leaving only the need for computing power itself.

However, for some conventional formulas that do not rely on the microscopic world, they are still subject to accuracy requirements, and the accuracy probably depends on the formula itself and the fit when bringing in the data.

"I have a bit of a headache, would you like to ask Misaka-senpai for advice?"

"Hey, why didn't I think of that before?"

Some faint moonlight shone in through the window, and Natsume Sonoko tossed and turned a little, sinking into the middle of the sofa, like a poor girl swallowed by quicksand.

If Misaka-senpai asks for help, he can point out some electromagnetic skill trees, and maybe even learn Misaka-senpai's special skill, the electromagnetic gun.

However, Natsume-san doesn't have much demand for the electromagnetic gun. She already has substitutes like Atomic Collapse for similar attack methods.

Regarding the special skills of several other superpowers, apart from the unknown principle of the seventh one and the unknown identity of the sixth one, Natsume-san is particularly concerned about Accelerator's vector manipulation and reflex abilities.

Since Academy City can use technology to simulate technology similar to reflection, it can create cutting-edge products such as vector operation calculation suits.

This means that this ability still conforms to the physical rules of this real universe and can be understood and analyzed. Then Natsume-san has the possibility of imitating this ability.

Chapter 427: Using Gua Taiyi to command Misaka

If you want to simulate the No. [-] ability to achieve effects similar to vector operations, in addition to micro-level observation methods, figuring out how the opponent's ability operates is the most important thing.

If it is just to simply change the direction of things, Natsume Sonoko can already achieve it indirectly through her own personal reality and interfere with the movement of particles, even though this method seems very crude.
