Academy City Temperature Control

"Dolly, has she recovered?"

After coming back to his senses and blinking at Dolly's face, Natsume-san said seriously.

She just regarded Dolly as an ordinary sister, but her meaning to Shokuhou-senpai and the others was very different.However, after only a brief contact with her, Natsume-san clearly noticed the differences from her other sisters.

After the other sisters are implanted with emotional programs, they will probably become like Dolly in the end.

"Well, my appetite has been good recently, and I have recovered from my long sleep."

The police officer nodded and showed a happy smile.

Because Dolly's body has been in the cultivation tank for a long enough time, it is not as weak as other sisters, so there is no need to go to the underworld or other research institutes for secondary cultivation or treatment.

Speaking of which, she didn't have much ill feelings toward the eighth person in front of her.

Although the eighth man pressed himself hard on the lawn and hit his hand with a drink bottle, the police officer felt that he was a good person.

Chapter 431

The spacious room has good lighting, and it brings a comfortable mood as soon as the windows are opened.

The walls of the corridor near the room are painted with blue waves and seagulls representing the ocean, giving it a feeling of being at the seaside.

“Even if the sea is painted here, in reality you can only see the wall.”

"It's not easy to see the sea in Academy City."

After biting into the sweet bread prepared by Dolly and looking at the decoration in the room a few more times, Shokuhou-senpai muttered with some concern.

He obviously wanted to discuss the Indian Poker matter with Natsume-san, but as soon as he got here he couldn't muster the energy to work at all, and all his thoughts were focused on Dolly.

If she wanted to take Dory and the others out of Academy City to see the sea or the polar aurora, at least she would have to wait until the next vacation, and she was not sure whether those on the General Council would approve it. Such requests from people with super powers.

As for going to the outside world without approval, I'm afraid that within a few days of going out, you should encounter Academy City's recycling force, and it is also a special force formed for psychological control.

No matter how confident Shokuhou Misaki is in her abilities, she is not sure how long she can persist.

"Xiao Caoqi, such realistic thoughts are really like a junior high school student."

"It should be said that even the sea on the wall is not much different from the real sea."

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, Dolly maintained her high-spirited fun, and spread her arms in front of the wall, looking impressive.

"I really can't help you."

With a doting expression on her face, Shokuhou-senpai rubbed Dolly's head lovingly.

"Since we can't go to the sea for the time being, we can first go to the amusement park in District [-] to ride the roller coaster, go to the zoo to see hippos, and go to District [-] to have a French meal. In short, as long as we are together."

"Ah, of course I am talking about everyone, including Xiao Yuanzi. Because Xiao Yuanqi's friends are my friends."

Her expression suddenly became tense, and Dolly's thoughts always seemed very simple.

The inherited memories are full of painful experiments and expressionless researchers. There are no parents or relatives. They have only been trying to extract the value of experiments since birth. Only when Kotori and Kosoki were around did they gain some color.

This is what Dolly likes to remember most now, and she cherishes the time when the three of them can be together.

But because of the long period of loneliness and the ubiquitous indifference environment, Dolly has some unique talents in feeling the hearts of others, which has also been transferred to the current Dolly through memory.

Although Xiao Yuanzi was so far away at that time, he was also happy for her recovery and was a very reliable person.

"Eh. Me?"

"I would be happy if I were suddenly invited to an amusement park or a zoo."

Suddenly being looked at with expectant eyes, Natsume Sonoko's hands and feet were flustered, but a burst of joy filled her heart.

However, he quickly maintained his demeanor as a junior high school student, thinking about how to leave a mature and steady impression on Dolly.

The sisters can all communicate with each other through the Misaka Network. If he agrees happily, he may very well damage the authority he has built up with great difficulty among his sisters.

This is also the image that Natsume-san tries to maintain in the eyes of her younger sister. She is a majestic and mature dormitory-sama. This is also the persona baggage she acquired after fully referring to the actual dormitory-sama of her own student dormitory.

"But, I may not always have time."

"Dolly, you see, I am a member of the ethics committee. I have to work hard every day to protect the city where everyone lives and maintain the normal ethics of this city. This green shield represents a very heavy responsibility."

"But if it's Dolly's request, I'd be happy to take the time to come along."

Some unknown words popped up in his head, and Natsume-san talked nonsense.

After saying that, he placed the green shield mark on his arm in front of him, successfully attracting Dolly's curious eyes.

"Yuanzi, why don't I remember that you work hard to protect the city every day?"

"But the Yuanzi I know is indeed an excellent disciplinary committee member."

Shokuhou-senpai stretched lazily and commented on a certain meatball head with interest.

The prerequisite for becoming a disciplinary committee member has never been ability, but the heart to stand up and protect everyone even when there is danger.

With Yuanzi joining, the Discipline Committee is more intimidating than before. This is the huge value brought by a person with super powers.

"Really? Xiaoyuanzi is so amazing."

There were some expressions of surprise immediately, and Dolly seemed to accept this setting immediately.It seems that Natsume-san's mature and dignified persona among younger sisters is firmly established.

There are two more chairs by the sunny windowsill.By the way, there are also two cups of steaming milk tea.

It's strange that the ladies of Tokiwadai don't have drinks when they talk about things.

However, this new apartment has not yet prepared the black tea that the ladies often drink, but the milk tea also tastes very good, and Natsume-san likes it as long as it is sweet.

"By the way, Shokuhou-senpai, do you know what happened yesterday?"

"That white ghost or something has troubled Senior Fanfeng and the others for a long time."

After drinking half of the scalding milk tea in one gulp, a girl who didn't care about the temperature of the food suddenly asked.

Although there was an uproar in the school, Shokuhou-senpai didn't seem to show up at all.

However, the prankster was also caught at noon today. I heard that it was a second-year senior who did it.

The subsequent punishment is not only to apologize to everyone who was pranked, but also to be responsible for cleaning the restaurant for two weeks.

"Of course I know."

"But I can't just meddle in such a thing."

With a helpless expression on her face, Shokuhou-senpai took a sip of milk tea gracefully and said.

"After all, I am the same as Yuanzi. We are reluctant to refuse the kindness of others, especially the kindness of so many people."

"Everyone must have their own place and find their own value. If I finish the work casually, Fanfeng and everyone will feel sad."

Shokuhou-senpai couldn't help but look out the window and spoke in a calm tone.

In this steel forest, the only thing that can warm others, apart from the stove, is probably the human heart.

With the ability to master psychology, most people have no secrets about Shokuhou-senpai.

But she is not a person who relies on her ability to treat other people's thoughts at will. Instead, she cherishes every insignificant thought.

Chapter 432 Internal Evolution

After hesitating for a while, Natsume-san took out the Indian poker card from his pocket.

This is an orange card that represents a sweet dream. The tightly fitting new product film on it has not been torn off yet, just like when you bought it.

Already knowing a lot of information about cards and knowing that this product has the power of brainwashing, Natsume once again found Shokuhou-senpai because of it.

There is no such thing as good or bad power, it is always determined by the user's purpose.Just being able to experience other people's dreams and learn all kinds of knowledge conveniently makes Natsume, a superpower, excited.

It's just that it would be too sad if someone used it to do bad things. It's obviously such an interesting thing.

"Sonoko, you really care about Indian poker as expected."

"I remember I told you its information a few days ago. And you should know the dangers of such unknown things without me reminding you."

Putting down the teacup gently, Shokuhou Soki said matter-of-factly, with some helplessness in his tone.

Having once read Natsume's classmate's memory, Shokuhou Misaki knew very well his personality of being curious, loving to join in the fun, and worshiping science.

When the girl with a round head in front of her faces the huge temptation of all three, it is normal for her to be hesitant and hesitant. It would be an accident to honestly not contact her.

Normally, as long as she has warned her so categorically and mentioned the powerful side effects of being brainwashed, she will definitely keep a distance.

Natsume-san is still able to resist using Indian Poker, probably because her heart tells her that this thing is dangerous. To a certain extent, she is following her inner choice.

But now his curiosity was obviously aroused by the surrounding environment, causing the whole person to be in a state of extremely anxious and difficult choice.

She is really an adolescent girl with an unstable temperament.

However, before her curiosity completely overwhelms her vigilance and she tries to convince herself that it’s okay to use less of this thing, she can ask her own opinion again. This should be the change brought about by those past experiences.

Just like the previous Fantasy Controller incident.

If it weren't for the harsh ban issued by the school and friends with the Discipline Committee, even if they knew that the thing might not have much effect on high-level ability users, maybe Natsume-san would be curious enough to download one and see the effect. .

"Sonoko, are there many people around you using Indian Poker?"

"It seems that Indian cards have become popular in student dormitories outside the school."

Thinking of the key point, Shokuhou-senpai immediately had a thoughtful expression on her face.

Only when everyone around you is using it, will a herd mentality develop, and some survivorship bias will also be obtained from those who do not show any abnormalities, making other people's minds unclear.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Fantasy Master can spread quickly is also due to the influence of herd, that is, the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission, but most of the people involved are low-level ability users and incompetent people.

At that time, Tokiwadai Middle School not only cut off the channels for conformity in time, but also had students with high-level abilities and low demand for fantasy masters, so there was no room for its spread.

But Indian cards are different. They are just a new type of entertainment product and do not involve anything as sensitive as ability development, so they will not touch the nerves of the school or even Academy City.

By the time the adults realize the seriousness of the problem, some potential dangers may have erupted.

As for the fact that this kind of thing was simply developed in Academy City, Shokuhou Cao prayed that he wasn't as suspicious as a certain meatball head.

There must be official influence behind the birth of almost all technologies in Academy City, but judging from the fact that the other party can only disseminate them informally through underground channels or small vendors, the dissemination of such cards is not an act promoted by Academy City officials.

It is more likely that the technology that was born in Academy City at some point is being used wantonly by certain people for certain purposes.

The technology related to Indian poker plunged Shokuhou-senpai into deep memories. She was no stranger to this technology of guiding and modifying other people's cognition through dreams.

"Eh."

"If it's someone around you, Misaka-senpai is using it."

After being stunned for a moment, Natsume-san immediately thought of a certain railgun who was out of energy early in the morning and was gnashing his teeth even while eating, and then he spoke.

Misaka-senpai is probably not a positive example of using Indian poker. The look on her face seems to be quite painful. She is probably a typical person who wants to have a sweet dream but ends up with a nightmare.

"It turns out to be Misaka-san."

"That's not surprising. After all, it's Misaka-san."

Shokuhou-senpai nodded involuntarily, saying that she could understand.As if to express the level of understanding, the blond girl emphasized Misaka-senpai's name twice.

The other party is originally the kind of idiot who has a head full of muscles and lacks vigilance.

However, considering that he came all the way to save her last time and even took the initiative to apologize, Shokuhou-senpai feels that Misaka-san actually has some merits.

"And I heard from Misaka-senpai this morning that she dreamed of Shokuhou-senpai in her dream, and she even turned into a maid lady or something."

Showing his true nature as a gossip at the right time, Natsume-san inadvertently spread the gossip news about his senior sister, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"There's really nothing you can do about Misaka-san. Even if you admire me, you don't have to do that."

"I didn't expect that I would leave such a big place in Misaka-san's heart. It's really nerve-wracking. I'm not interested in simple-minded girls."

Shokuhou-senpai gently stroked her long golden hair and suddenly said with emotion.

Even though he said this, Shokuhou-senpai also knew that a certain railgun was most likely being deceived.

"Actually, I don't know much about Indian poker."

"But one thing I am sure of is that Indian Poker has the technology of the Talent Workshop at a certain period, which comes from the internal evolution plan led by the Talent Workshop. I just don't know why, that technology was perfected and put into use Arrived in Academy City."

The topic slowly broke away from Misaka-senpai, and Shokuhou-senpai gradually became serious.The specific performance is to support the chin with the back of the hand and hover the other hand holding the teacup in the air.

Natsume Sonoko opened her eyes slightly, wondering what the internal evolution plan of the artificial room was.

Starry Eyes and Big Eyes looked at each other for no reason, and even the police officer Kantori who was passing by noticed that the two eldest ladies were talking about something important.
