Academy City Temperature Control

"No, it is precisely because this person is the original stone that it is possible to draw so many people into magic, even if he does not know it at all. This is something that ordinary magicians cannot do. Whether it is for superpowers It's still magic, the original stone itself is a miracle." Kanzaki Kaori insisted, his tone a little more serious.

Natsume Sonoko still had a lot of questions in her head, but at this moment she thought of something.

"Kanzaki, do you know how long ago this magic circle was put back into use?"

"Judging from the magic traces attached to it, it should be two months ago. Of course, I am talking about two months in reality."

Following Conan's example, Natsume Sonoko paced slowly on the rooftop, holding her non-existent eyes and thinking.

So what is the difference between two months ago and now, and it has to be related to Conan.

Isn't this obvious?

Natsume Sonoko suddenly realized that two months ago happened to be the date when Conan came to stay at Mori's house, and before that, Conan's name was Kudo Shinichi, and he was a famous high school detective.

The culprit responsible for the changes is the black organization, or to be precise, the black organization's medicine for shrinking.

Could it be that something was added to the shrinking medicine that caused this change.

However, Natsume Sonoko didn't have any small medicine in her hands. She still had some information, so she could only take a step at a time.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know the reason. I still have many ways to solve the problem." Kanzaki Kaori suddenly stood up, with a strange look on his face.

"How to deal with it?"

"The simplest way is to directly destroy the source carrier." Kanzaki Kaori said thoughtfully.

"Absolutely not."

Natsume Sonoko hurriedly stood up and rejected Kanzaki Kaori's proposal.

Even though that little devil can be really annoying sometimes, this method is definitely not the way to go.

"Of course, this method is only a last resort. In fact, other methods can be used instead." With a faint smile, Kanzaki Kaori continued.

"We can put Conan in a box that can isolate magic induction, and we can take advantage of this short gap to escape the influence of the magic circle. It's just that it takes a lot of time and energy to build such a box, and now I In a hurry.”

"We can also find ways to eliminate the influence of the magic circle on us. For example, we can use the spell of ancient magicians to break away after gathering, or let this broken magic circle voluntarily give up its influence on us."

As soon as Kanzaki Kaori finished speaking, Natsume Sonoko showed a thoughtful look, as if she was trying to digest what she just said.

Chapter 90 Escape from Exception

Countless fireworks rose into the sky, dotting the scenery like a sea of ​​blooming flowers. The gorgeous colors were dizzying, and everyone around was immersed in this seemingly happy and beautiful atmosphere.

Quietly looking at the fireworks in the sky, unlike the smiles of everyone around him, Natsume Sonoko fell into a state of confusion, and her brain was running rapidly without stopping at all.

It is already midnight. Normally, you should be sleeping at this time, but there is something different today. Today is the day to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year.

The atmosphere of the festival was very strong. Merchants participating in the festival set up stalls stretching for hundreds of meters along the open space, and the crowds of people joining in the fun filled the small open space.

At this time, Conan was dragged by three classmates to fish for goldfish. Kogoro Maori was drunk at a roadside barbecue stall, while Sister Xiaolan squatted beside him helplessly taking care of him.

The bells of the temple not far away also began to ring, indicating the official arrival of the new year...what the hell.

"It turns out that today is not really the Chinese New Year. I'm so happy for nothing."

Natsume Sonoko, who was covering her head, showed an unhappy smile, knowing too much would bring more troubles.

In this magic circle thousands of years ago, Natsume Sonoko endured the pain of having her cognition modified almost every day, enduring the discomfort of her brain to correct her cognition, as if she had to refresh her three views every day, and her brain was still Keep reminding yourself that you are wrong.

After more than a month, Natsume Sonoko found that her computing power had improved significantly, which was not only due to 'calculation interference', but also had a great relationship with this inexplicable cognitive change.

"It feels so uncomfortable, so awkward."

Within a few minutes of the start of a new day, Natsume Sonoko regained her consciousness, but unfortunately, the original festive feeling was gone.

Walking among the bustling crowd, Natsume Sonoko took her mind off the lively festival and glanced at the various interesting stalls nearby before taking action according to the plan she had made before.

"It turns out that the battle plan has already begun."

Looking at the fireworks in the sky again, Natsume Sonoko reacted immediately.

Based on the results of the previous discussion, Natsume Sonoko took some time to fully understand the meaning of Kanzaki Kaori's words, and the two of them verbally formulated a plan together.

Although I don't understand many things, there is one thing that is easier to understand, and that is to make the magic circle temporarily ineffective or fall into chaos.

The caster of this ancient magic circle has long been buried in history, and the one who makes the magic work now is actually Conan, but he is unaware of this. Even because he is not the caster, even he himself is unaware of this. Affected by magic.

What they need to do now is let Conan influence the magic circle and temporarily plunge it into chaos.

Fireworks continued to bloom in the sky, and the flames all over the sky were mixed with some strange patterns and symbols. Because they were only fleeting among the fireworks, almost no one noticed them.

The only one who is aware of this is a young detective Mitsuhiko who looks like a child but is unusually intelligent.

"Look, the patterns of those fireworks are a bit weird." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who occasionally looked up to admire the fireworks, said in a loud voice. He is Conan's classmate.

Several other people in Class B of the first grade of Didan Elementary School also raised their heads at this time, looking at the somewhat incomprehensible Mitsuhiko with confusion.

"It's just ordinary fireworks." Kojima Mota squinted his eyes for a while, but didn't notice anything strange.

"Didn't you notice the special patterns in the fireworks! Maybe someone is asking us for help." Mitsuhiko said anxiously.

Listening to the discussion around him, Conan put down the goldfish net in his hand, stood up and looked into the air, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Do these symbols have any special meaning?"

Conan stared at them for a while. When he looked at these patterns, his vision suddenly became blurred and he froze in place.

"The magic formula has been completed, let's start acting according to the plan."

Just as she took the corn cob from a stall owner, Natsume Sonoko received a call from Kanzaki Kaori.

"I understand." Natsume Sonoko showed a serious look, saying that she would never mess up the matter.

"Conan, what do you think these patterns mean?" Mitsuhiko asked, pointing to the fireworks still setting off in the sky.

After not hearing Conan's answer for a long time, Mitsuhiko turned around with some dissatisfaction, only to see a figure with a bun-like hair approaching.

"So Conan, you are here. It's very late and we have to go back. You are Conan's friends, so hurry up and go back with your parents."

Natsume Sonoko said with a hint of majesty.Although I am only a junior high school student, among a group of primary school students whose average age is no more than seven years old, I am a well-deserved senior.

"Then we take our leave."

"Goodbye, Conan." Mitsuhiko waved towards Conan and said, seeing that Conan still ignored him, he left a little angry.

The fireworks began to stop, and the surrounding area gradually became quiet.

Conan looks a little groggy now. This is because he was temporarily hypnotized by Kanzaki Kaori's technique.

Moreover, the effect of hypnosis on Conan is not very ideal. He will be easily broken away, and Kanzaki Kaori needs to maintain him.

"The next step is to let Conan perform a magic ritual himself."

Natsume Sonoko carefully recalled what Kanzaki Kaori told herself, and took out a lot of strange things from a nearby corner.

These were taken by Kanzaki Kaori from a sect called the Amakusa Cross Sect during the occasional recovery period.

According to her, these special artifacts and some arrangements can create magic.

However, the Amakusa-style Cross Sect also reminded Natsume Sonoko of Amakusa-senpai in Tokiwadai, and she didn't know if there was any connection.

Natsume Sonoko manipulated the airflow and carefully controlled Conan's course of action and movements.

He asked Conan to place specific cultural relics in various directions and draw magic patterns on the ground. Within a few minutes, a strange ritual pattern gradually formed on the ground.

For some magic rituals, the caster does not need any special abilities. Even ordinary people can complete them, and the upper limit can even drag angels down to earth.

"It's done."

Natsume Sonoko looked around curiously. The ceremony on the ground had been arranged as required, but nothing seemed to have changed.

"I almost forgot, I also asked Conan to break the clay doll placed at point three."

The moment Conan pressed his palm hard on the clay doll, the surrounding scenery faded away like a tide, turning into a gray scene of nothingness.

The gray began to gradually spread, as if a piece of the entire world was cut out.

"Success?"

Natsume Sonoko seemed a little excited. She had had enough of a life where her cognition was constantly being changed.

Kanzaki Kaori also appeared not far from Natsume Sonoko at this time, indicating that he had given up hypnotizing Conan.

However, Conan was in a strange state at this time. He was floating in mid-air as if he had lost gravity. An illusory figure holding a shield appeared next to him. This illusory figure only appeared for a few seconds and then attached to Conan's body.

"This ritual can summon a shield-bearing angel representing protection. Although it is not attacked, it can block the influence of other magic." Kanzaki Kaori explained.

The world around him began to gradually collapse, and the gray world slowly turned into countless visible fragments scattered in the air.

"But if this shield-bearing angel disappears, will we fall into abnormal time again?" Natsume Sonoko asked with concern.

"No. The angel's shield also blocks our connection with that ancient magic circle."

The world in front of them has completely collapsed, and everyone has fallen into a state of stagnant thinking. Before they have time to think about anything, their vision becomes pitch black.

When she came to her senses, Natsume Sonoko found herself sleeping on the floor with a quilt covering her body.

"I am back?"

Natsume Sonoko hurriedly stood up and looked at her phone. When she saw the time to return to normal, Natsume Sonoko immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

Chapter 91 Surprise!Attacked by night

The time now is three or four o'clock in the morning, and there is still a little time before the first ray of sunshine rises in the morning.

Someone secretly opened the door to the room and walked out quietly.

Natsume Sonoko saw Mouri Kogoro sleeping soundly on the sofa in the office, and the sound of snoring resounded throughout the office.

As for Conan, he squeezed himself into the corner of the sofa and fell asleep with his eyes closed. However, looking at the changing expression on his face, it looked like he was having a nightmare.

"Judging from this situation, everyone is fine."

Natsume Sonoko

Chapter 92 The right way to leave

With a wave of his hand, a nearby broken piece of alienated tissue came into Natsume Sonoko's hands.

I have seen super-large tentacle monsters in Academy City, but the feeling of this thing in my hand is slightly different from the tentacles. It seems like an organ growing out of the human body. Even if it is cut off, it is still active.

The night was beautiful, and the dim environment made it difficult to see what was going on below. All we could know was that the fighting on the ground was very lively.

But whether it was day or night, there was actually no difference for Natsume Sonoko. Sensing the heat source below, a clear picture immediately appeared in her mind.

They are all extremely high heat sources, much higher than the heat that humans normally dissipate.

Moreover, the movements of both parties are almost reaching the limit of the human body, and the difficult movements even make people doubt whether they are human beings.Those weirdos were okay, but the two men in suits could keep up with the speed of these weirdos.

"Is this a person with abilities? Sonoko is so powerful, she can actually fly."

Standing at the window and looking out, Mao Lilan opened her mouth in surprise. Although she had been with Yuanzi for so long, she had never seen Yuanzi use any abilities before, and almost regarded Yuanzi as an ordinary little sojourn girl.

Although propaganda is everywhere in Academy City, most people have never directly experienced the so-called ability users. Most of the world outside Academy City is still normal.

"Of course. From the information I know, Sonoko is one of the rarest people even in Academy City. She is only a little bit worse than someone with super powers."

Mouri Kogoro also had a look of surprise on his face, but he was much calmer than Xiaolan.

"Really, does Sonoko have the ability to fly?"

"No, maybe it's air manipulation." Mouri Kogoro retorted.

The Conan kid on the side rolled his eyes. After living with Sister Yuanzi for a while, these two guys still don't know anything. Their sensitivity to people with abilities must be too low.

However, people with superpowers are really unusual. The rumors that people with superpowers can suppress an army are a little more credible.

His eyes returned to mid-air, and only a moment passed. Two strange men with alienated organs inserted behind them, who looked like humanoid spiders, began to climb along the wall, and their target was still Natsume Sonoko.

Just when they climbed up to the second floor, dozens of sharp ice guns fell from the sky and directly pierced their alienated organs. They were densely packed like hedgehogs and pinned them firmly to the wall.

"These guys are really here for me, so these men in suits are my own."

Natsume Sonoko silently used her abilities, and layers of ice crystals began to cover these weirdos.

They just slowed their movements a little, and the man in the suit seized the opportunity. The weapon passed through the chest and they all fell to the ground.

Only the leading monster was a little troublesome. With its huge strength, it broke free from the shackles of the ice crystals in an instant. The alienated organs on its body were like arms, forcing the approaching man in suit back.

But before taking a few steps forward, the leading monster seemed to have hit a speeding truck, and its body flew backwards.
