Academy City Temperature Control

4Chapter 17 Impact

The girl who has exhausted her patience is like the pickled salted fish hanging under the eaves, exuding a strong smell of decadence, but it is sweet.

In the final analysis, most people cannot remain enthusiastic about something that has not made progress for a long time. They can only keep it in their hearts and tell themselves that there is such a thing.

But after all, Natsume-san is a relatively lucky girl with complicated thoughts.After a while, her eyes widened slightly, and she obviously had another idea.

The perspective of the force field in my mind moved away from the Indian poker in my hand, and gradually spread from a small point to a wider space.

At the same time, in a position parallel to the coordinates of the real world, the aim force field perspective based on the body forms a simple God's perspective. A pair of invisible eyes quietly covers everything, shrouding the entire Tokiwadai Isato House.

With the body as an anchor in the real world, Natsume-san doesn't have to worry about not being able to figure out his position. This is probably the biggest help this short body has to his perception ability.

Even ability users who have fallen asleep have their bodies continuously releasing the aim force field. This is something that ability users cannot avoid.

If the aim force field has colors, then the world in Natsume-san's head must be colorful.

In fact, the aim force field is just a special kind of energy.

Only in the so-called aim phase does it have some realistic color, but essentially it is still a poor imitation of the real world by the thoughts of the ability user contained in the force field.

It has been proven long ago that people's thoughts can be accommodated in the aim force field.

Whether it is the aggregate monster that Saten-san and many incompetent people gathered together before, or Misaka-senpai's behavior of being able to operate the substantial force field aggregate that extends from herself when she enters the state of a partial absolute ability person, it is proved that at this point.

It's just that this kind of unconscious thought is too small, and can only be achieved when a huge number of people gather, or when there is a strong enough individual.

Getting back to the subject, after widening the perspective, Natsume-san couldn't help but peek at her classmates and seniors.

If you didn't look at it from another angle, you could only see the part about the aim force field, otherwise the reputation of a Tokiwadai voyeur would be inevitable.

This is why she usually restrains herself from scanning her dormitory with radar. Natsume-san doesn't want to become a pervert, her goal is to be an excellent young lady.

But even so, a certain meatball head's face was a little uncomfortable. This was probably due to the burden of being a young lady in his heart.

"If there is no problem with the Indian poker itself, it doesn't mean there is no problem when using it."

"And this kind of card takes effect when people are sleeping, so in order to be aware of its problems, you may have to meet this condition."

With a more serious look on his face, Natsume-san swept away the decadent atmosphere before and took a deep breath.

She doesn't want to fish all the time, she just doesn't want to waste her efforts and her life is wrapped in endless troubles.

Then you have to manage your time well, try to solve the case while laughing and joking, and then achieve a happy ending for all innocent people.

But now that she has thought of such a possibility, Natsume is willing to give it a try. She still cares about this city and her classmates.

"It turns out there are still so many people awake, and it's obviously already so late."

"But this is normal. In this era, it is rare for junior high school students to go to bed on time."

Thinking about some things that are present and missing, Natsume's perspective is constantly sensing the changes in everyone's aim force field.

She knew that some seniors bought Indian poker cards, so she just had to observe those senior students who used poker cards while sleeping.

Unknowingly, this kind of card gradually became popular in their student dormitory.

Although the use of such things is no longer allowed within the Shokuhou faction, one faction obviously cannot represent all students, and there are many opposition and neutral factions.

"The aim force field released during sleep seems to be a little different from usual. How to describe it? It does not become peaceful as imagined, but it seems more chaotic and disordered. This should be because the brain has lost its subjectivity after the consciousness is dormant. It’s about agency.”

Natsume-san is a girl who likes to use her brain to speculate on something.

Even some users with the ability of the aim force field system may not be able to observe to such an extent like her.

Natsume-san's computing power is also rapidly depleted as time goes by.

Even Natsume-san found it a bit difficult to cover a certain area and record the force field changes of hundreds of people for a long time. Fortunately, he really couldn't hold on anymore and there was still Zero to rely on.

"what is that?"

Natsume's body was sitting on the desk in good shape, but her expression changed accordingly with her thoughts. She seemed to have seen some particularly strange phenomena.

In fact, it's not a remarkable phenomenon, it's just a little too abnormal.

The aim force field during sleep was originally relatively chaotic, but the aim force fields of some sleeping students became slightly distorted at the moment of formation, and the originally stable force field characteristics were affected by unknown impacts.

It wasn't until the force field completely separated from the body that it gradually returned to its original state, as if its own aim force field was being interfered with by something else.

It is almost certain that these students who have distortions are using Indian poker.

The next second, some thoughts appeared in Natsume-san's head.

After all, he is someone who fully understands the importance of the aim force field to ability users. A certain meathead immediately thought of the existence of personal reality.

The aim force field emitted unconsciously by ability users is actually a certain manifestation of personal reality in this physical world.

Personal reality is the ability users' own understanding of the world.

Because the way of understanding is different, there will be various interference phenomena and methods suitable for understanding. This is probably the most popular way of saying personal reality in Academy City.

How come creatures with abilities can only be understood purely from the perspective of thinking? Isn't that why they are no different from ordinary people?

This type of card, called Indian Poker, not only has a subtle brainwashing effect on the user's brain, but it actually secretly affects a person's personal reality.

Once a person's personal reality is distorted, one's own abilities will inevitably be affected to varying degrees, especially for those with abilities whose abilities have already been established.

However, for those in the early stages of ability development, it can serve as a guide and correction.

And according to some information Natsume-san knows, simple brainwashing cannot affect the aim field or even personal reality. Otherwise, Shokuhou-senpai will definitely go sideways, so it must be the influence of the card itself.

Chapter 448 Nothing superfluous

The night was dark and the moonlight was faint.

The aloof observer girl is addicted to the void interface, and her thinking level has reached a superhuman level.

Natsume-san has maintained a very good adaptability to this strange world that is layered like a Domeiji. As a result, she can happily use her sensory abilities as if nothing has happened.

After observing the abnormalities of his classmates for a while, Natsume let go of the strong vigilance that had been raised in vain.

But it's not because Natsume-san found a solution to this abnormality, it's just that he found that the card's ability to interfere with personal reality is too weak, so weak that it returns to its original state immediately after the aim force field leaves the body.

If it is only used for a short period of time, it should not be able to shake an ordinary powerful person.As students who have developed their abilities to at least level 3, the personal realities of Tokiwadai girls must be relatively stable.

Of course, since Natsume-san's current observation targets are all her own classmates, there is no way to collect data on those with lower-level abilities or those without abilities.

This weakness is most likely due to insufficient capacity inside the card, which cannot accommodate something powerful enough to even coerce the user's personal reality.

In the meantime, just think a little bit about where this card came from and how it was made.

This factor that interferes with the changes in other people's aim force fields and causes chaos in personal reality is likely to come from the manufacturer of the card, that is, the gifted dreamer himself.

This kind of card may have invaded the aim field and personal reality of the gifted dreamer, and then simulated and recorded the personal reality of the gifted dreamer through technological means.

At the same time, when the card is used, it will be fed back to the user through dream reappearance or other means.

In other words, in addition to learning other people’s experiences and knowledge, this kind of card can also allow people to learn other people’s personal realities, which is really worth the money.

Probably only when two personal realities collide will the user's aim field become unstable.

Then the factor that interferes with the user's personal reality inside the card is naturally the personal reality simulated and recorded by the gifted dreamers.

I think this product comes from a capability development organization called Talented Workshop.

Then it may be speculated that the previous talent workshop probably used this kind of cards to develop abilities, or simply used cards to induce the direction of ability development.

As soon as he was affected by this thought, another thing appeared in Natsume-san's mind, and that was the Fantasy Tamer who has been appearing frequently recently.

Although there have been comparisons between Fantasy Controller and this kind of card many times, the perspective has changed a bit this time.

The Fantasy Master achieves sharing of abilities and computing power through brain waves of the same frequency. In fact, the guy as the mastermind can take absolute control of everyone's brains without losing control, and gain multiple talents resulting from the mixture of multiple personal realities. ability.

So if there is a gifted dreamer whose card is widely circulated, and her personal reality can also play a role in coercing the personal reality of the corresponding card user.

Perhaps it is possible to temporarily or permanently assimilate the personal reality of others in a way similar to the same frequency of brain waves, and assume the position of the mastermind in the Fantasy Master incident, and then a foreseeable future will appear.

And unlike Fantasy Master, the product formed with the help of Indian Poker will most likely obtain a single and huge personal reality, rather than a strange stitching situation where multiple other people's personal realities are mixed together.

The single personal reality produced at that time was the product of assimilating (merging) the personal realities of a large number of ability users.And an ability user with this kind of personal reality is likely to become a powerful monster with multiple ways of intervening abilities.

If the degree of fusion is larger and more serious, it can even reach the level of replicating the ability interference methods of all ability users.

Although it is uncertain whether one person can master more than two methods of ability interference, if a personal reality is composed of multiple ability users, then this possibility will be infinitely magnified.

But having said that, once this kind of exaggerated personal reality exists, its existence will inevitably be expressed in the form of an aim force field.

To put it simply, it turns the corresponding card user himself into a part of the personal reality of the gifted dreamer who provided the card, and needs to be connected to each other and presented in the world in the form of an aim force field.

It's just that this level of talented dreamers should not exist, and the capacity of the card itself also limits the possibility of assimilation.

The most important thing is that the human body cannot carry the continuously escaping aim force field and cannot become something called the core of a force field.

As long as the aim force field cannot be stably left in the material world and form a channel connecting the main brain and the clone, then this fusion-like personal reality will not appear.

The personal reality formed by the fusion will immediately disappear as the aim force field returns to the phase. If the connection channel is lost, the fusion will naturally not be maintained.

The aim force field energy on the sleeping seniors in front of them also disappeared into the real world immediately after appearing. It is almost impossible to contact some inexplicable mastermind, unless a so-called core is formed that can stably appear in reality. .

This is probably the biggest difference from Fantasy Controller. After all, Fantasy Controller uses the same frequency of brain waves as its operating principle. The aim force field only serves as a medium rather than a channel. There is no need to worry about maintaining the connection.

As long as there is no core that can gather the aim force field, the danger is greatly reduced.

"What? It turns out it's not a big deal."

"There are so many people in Academy City using Indian Poker. It is almost impossible for there to be a person with the ability to stably receive such a huge aim force field and maintain its existence."

"In other words, how can a human become a god?"

With a raised brow, some liveliness appeared in the dull expression of a certain guy.

I deduced it carefully based on the information I had, mainly because I had many similar experiences when facing fantasy masters before.

When encountering a similar situation again, Natsume-san easily connected the two and came to a conclusion that may be accurate or purely guessing.

But overall, a certain big-hearted meathead expressed optimism about this and felt that his imagination was too rich.

How could a force field core appear out of nowhere and then unknowingly turn everyone into tool men or something?

You must know that the core of the force field must have been born with the emergence of the force field aggregate. One carrot and one pit, there is no excess at all.

Chapter 449 Science Girl

The dull expression was projected through the window into the dark and silent world, and occasionally there was the slight sound of rolling wheels coming from the passing security robot.

The little black cat and its little friends who came to play in the autumn breeze have not been there for a long time. There is only an empty feeding basin converted from a can.

After coming back to his senses, Natsume-san sorted the things on the table into categories, and then plunged into his soft sofa, with his eyes open and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After getting some specious information and conjectures, the girl, whose mind was still a mess, fell into a state of silence.

Chapter 4 Fifty Ancient People (Thanks to the chest slave classmate for the golden treasure chest)

What do you dream about when you sleep?

Do human dreams represent another brand new journey?

Natsume Sonoko, who had a dreamless night, said it was difficult for her to answer such a question, but the sleepy look on her face showed that she did not sleep well last night.

Sure enough, if you can't figure out something when you are awake, you can find it when you are confused and it is definitely a lie to children. The real situation is that you completely forgot about such a thing when you woke up early in the morning.

A young girl with abilities who can't even figure out the real world clearly lacks interest in exploring phases, a challenging leisure activity, and treats it as a trivial diversion in her daily life at most.

However, things like phase can bring some visible conveniences to her life. The lightless phase and the aim force field phase have solved a lot of her troubles, which drives the lazy girl to pay attention to this perception ability itself from time to time.

Having said that, Natsume-san is very concerned about the feeling of disgust that comes from the lightless phase from time to time, which also causes her to pay more attention to this phase than the other phases.

In order to clarify this problem, Natsume actually spent many nights trying to observe the lightless phase itself, and even tried to deduce some kind of power that this phase originally corresponded to.

In the absence of sufficient information, Natsume Sonoko's understanding of phases is still based on vague guesses, and she has no idea how this thing came about and what it means to the world.

But just from the disgust that comes from the depths of her soul, Natsume-san knew one thing clearly.

In one of my past lives, the shrine maiden who has not yet been named is most likely the originator of this feeling of disgust.

Since accepting the strange setting that there is more than one previous life, Natsume-san has been able to face many things indifferently, and without any burden, he thought about the girl he had never met in his previous life.

"What does she hate?"

"Except that all physical rules are very similar to those in the real world, everything in this phase is pitch black."
