Temperature Control in Academy City

According to Kikyo Yoshikawa, due to the influence of the virus, Last Order needs to immediately complete the first cell adjustment in the research institute.

Cell adjustment is a huge project, especially since the last Misaka sister has been artificially restricted in her growth. However, due to her body size, it is actually easier for her to make cell adjustments than the average Misaka sister.

After the initial cell adjustment, the final product will be able to restore normal metabolism. After several more times, it will secrete various growth-promoting hormones like a normal person.

However, even if all adjustments are completed, it can only reach a level close to that of normal humans, and the cell iteration speed must exceed that of ordinary people.

"It's very late now, why don't you leave?" said Kikyo Yoshikawa.

Time passed slowly, and Accelerator was asked by Yoshikawa Kikyo to go out and buy a lunch box for dinner.

Only Natsume Sonoko, Yoshikawa Kikyo and one last work were left in the research institute.

Natsume Sonoko now almost understands the meaning of the last work. The code name is Misaka 20001, which is an individual outside the experiment. It is not only the control tower of all Misaka sisters, but also the core of the Misaka network.

The Last Order is very important and can be easily affected by others. If there is a problem with the Last Order, then all the Misaka sisters will have problems. This is what Natsume Sonoko feels most directly.

"No, I'm going to wait for the cells to adjust and leave with the last work."

Since Accelerator had left her radar map, Natsume Sonoko became a little less restrained and was willing to talk to people properly.

"Really? But this time the cell adjustment will take a whole night. It seems that all schools do not allow students to stay out overnight. I almost forgot, after all, you are a quasi-level 5, so you should have some privileges anyway."

Sitting on a nearby sofa, Yoshikawa Kikyo blew on her coffee and looked at the data on the computer.

"privilege?"

Natsume Sonoko was suddenly choked. If level 5 really had privileges in their own student dormitory, senior Misaka would not have wanted to run away when she saw the dormitory supervisor.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Natsume Sonoko was still full of vigor, but she seemed a little weak inside. My brain started to work, and soon I thought of something.

After all, someone's level 5 assessment is coming up soon. If he uses the reason of special training to explain why he stayed out all night, perhaps the warden will give him some leniency.

After thinking of the reason for explanation, Natsume Sonoko concentrated again and spoke to Yoshikawa Kikyo in front of her in a somewhat impolite manner.

I had previously investigated the list of participants in the Absolute Ability User Plan from the Discipline Committee, and the person in front of me, Kikyo Yoshikawa, was on the list, and even senior sister Toshin Futsuka was on the list.

"Really? You're such an unlovable middle school student."

Yoshikawa Kikyo smiled again, making it hard to tell whether she was angry or happy.

"But if you want to take the Last Order away, you'd better think about it first."

"What are you considering?" Natsume Sonoko was stunned.

"Considering your own opinion, I think you are not the kind of person who ignores other people's thoughts." Yoshikawa Kikyo said.

When deleting the virus files, she tried her best to preserve the last work and Yi Fang's memories.

Most of the deleted memories are of Last Order wandering in Academy City this week. Even if Last Order did not back up his memories in the Misaka Network, he would not necessarily forget Accelerator.

"In terms of ability, Ichiban is much stronger than you and the Railgun combined, even if you beat him once. He is more suitable to protect the Last Order, and this can also be seen as his compensation to the Misaka sisters."

"And the fact that Yi Fang became like this was actually caused by us. Deep down in his heart, he is a person who longs for kindness. It's just that we can't find a way to make him level 6 without using his sister."

Yoshikawa Kikyo put down the coffee in her hand and said very seriously.

"But he is still the murderer of nearly ten thousand sisters." Natsume-san was a little stubborn about Accelerator's opinion and said with disapproval.

"That's true, but there is one thing you may not know. Without the other party, the Misaka sisters would have been destroyed directly at the end of the mass production of esper plan, and would not have been able to survive in the absolute esper plan. Because of the existence of the other party, the Misaka sisters were able to be reborn and persist until the plan was frozen."

"When Yifang went to look for the Last Work, I gave him two choices. One was to capture Akai Osamu and calm the situation after the virus broke out. The second was to protect the Last Work and bring it back to the culture tank before the virus broke out. Yifang chose the second one. It was then that I realized that the child might be able to change him."

Yoshikawa Kikyo stood up and stretched her body.

"I'm back. It looks like you guys are having a lively chat."

Just as Yoshikawa Kikyo finished speaking, Accelerator walked in with a few lunch boxes in his hands and an expressionless face.

"Well, we are discussing the issue of raising Last Order." Yoshikawa Kikyo said with a smile.

Chapter 178 Good Morning

"Heh, what nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden? I bought the lunch box you asked for."

Accelerator put the lunch box on the table and said with some indifference.

"Let me take a look. It's a high-end curry bento from the fast food restaurant nearby." Yoshikawa Kikyo sighed slightly and took it with satisfaction.

"My classmate, one party bought a bit too much, do you want to share it?"

Since she couldn't find any trace of Natsume, Yoshikawa Kikyo looked around and asked.

"no need."

Natsume Sonoko hesitated for a while, swallowed her saliva, but finally refused.

"Number eight, you really like to hide. Do you plan to never show up for the rest of your life?" Accelerator frowned slightly and said sarcastically.

If you don’t want to pay attention to Accelerator, just pretend you didn’t hear anything. Natsume Sonoko is actually quite petty (crossed out).

At this time, Natsume Sonoko became inexplicably concerned about what Yoshikawa Kikyo said.

Accelerator is undoubtedly a very complicated person, and a large part of the conversation just now made her very hesitant and entangled.

To some extent, the sisters were indeed retained in the Absolute Ability User Project because of Accelerator.

And a large number of sisters were killed by Accelerator, and the cause and effect and logic in it are very confusing, just like the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

The researcher also said that Accelerator was actually a good person deep down, but Natsume Sonoko still found it difficult to connect the two together.

However, there was one thing that Natsume understood, that is, the relationship between Accelerator and Last Order seemed to be very good, and Accelerator was willing to save her.

Although Natsume Sonoko understood this, she still couldn't understand the thoughts of Last Order and Accelerator. This question was too difficult.

After thinking so much, Natsume Sonoko calmed down. No matter what she thought, she would have to let her decide the final work.

Although it is not very difficult to take Last Order away, the danger factor of Accelerator is too high. He can run away by himself, but he cannot run away from his own dormitory.

And if it was Accelerator's own decision, even if the relationship between them was good, Accelerator would have no reason to stop him.

Taking a deep breath silently, Natsume Sonoko looked at Accelerator with a blank expression.

When it comes to her relationship with her sisters, how could she be inferior to this person? She is the sisters' most beloved dorm supervisor. The answer will be clear after this cell adjustment is over.

"Fangchuan, I'm going to go back to sleep first. This little brat will stay with you."

After not hearing Natsume-san's answer for a long time, Accelerator had a bored look on his face and spoke at this time.

"That won't do. This is the person you brought here. You are responsible for bringing him back." Yoshikawa Kikyo shook her head to refuse.

"Yoshikawa, do you know what you are saying? If you don't want to, there is another guy who is coming to your door." Accelerator rubbed the back of his head and said with a headache.

"I have a sofa here, you can take a rest here. As for the place where you live, I heard that the condition is not very good." Yoshikawa Kikyo stopped in front of Accelerator and said seriously.

"Heh, those guys have really been going too far lately."

Accelerator's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

After saying that, the steps towards the door stopped, and Accelerator lay down on the sofa nearby.

"The future eighth lady, you should also go and have a rest. I'll be watching over you here." Yoshikawa Kikyo said with a smile.

"I see."

Natsume Sonoko spoke casually, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

The sky became dark, and Natsume Sonoko sat on the bench in the research institute without saying a word.

Accelerator has fallen asleep, and the heat dissipation from his body is very consistent with the heat dissipation rate of the human body during sleep, which makes Natsume Sonoko feel a little relieved, but she did not relax her vigilance much.

Natsume Sonoko stood up from the bench and paced back and forth absentmindedly, holding the cell phone in her hand, hesitant.

But the hesitation did not last too long. This kind of situation was not suitable for distracting attention for a long time. Not long after, a phone call came to the office of the warden of the Tokiwadai Student Dormitory.

"Hello, this is the Tokiwadai student dormitory." A familiar voice from the dorm supervisor came from the other side, calm yet aggressive.

"Good evening, dorm supervisor. I'm Natsume Sonoko. I have something to tell you..."

After a few seconds of silence, Natsume Sonoko finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"So, you are going to do the Level 5 pre-exam training and you won't be back tonight. But do you have the school's permission?"

"It will happen." Natsume Sonoko said somewhat guiltily.

"Come to my place tomorrow afternoon to deal with all the documents, or you'll be punished," the dorm supervisor said bluntly.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it tomorrow."

When Natsume Sonoko hung up the phone, her expression became relaxed.

"The matter of staying out all night is not a big deal for now, but I'm so hungry."

Touching her stomach, Natsume Sonoko, who had not eaten all night, showed a bitter expression at the right moment. Her eyes involuntarily turned to the half box of curry bento that Yoshikawa Kikyo had just left behind.

That night, Natsume was hungry all night.

She went through a lot of struggles in her head, but in the end she didn't go to eat the curry bento. I don't know what she was hesitating about, the self-esteem of junior high school students is really a boring thing.

Time passed little by little. After setting up the program, Yoshikawa Kikyo could not resist the sleepiness and fell asleep on the floor of the research institute. Only Natsume Sonoko was left with her eyes wide open, fighting wits and courage with the air.

"I can't sleep. I still have to watch over Misaka-senpai."

Natsume Sonoko seemed to be suffering from paranoia. She observed the movements nearby and waited obediently by the side of the Last Order. However, she was so hungry and sleepy that she couldn't help but cover her mouth and yawned.

"Give your eyes a rest. We have the radar map anyway." This thought suddenly popped up in Natsume Sonoko's head.

People always overestimate themselves, and sometimes their bodies will take the initiative to make choices for them.

After persisting for more than an hour, Natsume Sonoko fell asleep on the bench without realizing it, and even the invisibility on her body disappeared shortly after she fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Natsume Sonoko was covered with a thin blanket, sleeping in a crooked position on a bench.

As if she didn't notice anything unusual about her body, Natsume Sonoko sat up on the bench in a daze, preparing to brush her teeth, wash her face, change into school uniform, and then go to the cafeteria for breakfast as usual.

But why am I so hungry today? Natsume Sonoko's muddled head seemed to be asking this question.

"Good morning." A pleasant female voice came from not far away.

"Good morning." Natsume Sonoko also replied in a daze.

But just after answering, Natsume Sonoko suddenly woke up, her confused mind returned to normal, and she finally adjusted her thinking process.

"This is the research institute! Oh, and Accelerator is here too."

Natsume Sonoko immediately yelled in surprise, she didn't look like a lady at all. The next second, Natsume Sonoko disappeared into the air and became invisible again.

"Sonoko, where are you? Misaka Misaka asked."

Wrapped in gray cloth, Last Order heard Natsume's voice and staggered over from the corner of the research institute.

But I didn't see Natsume-san, who was looking around in confusion.

Calculating the time, the first cell adjustment of the final work has been completed.

"Qi~, you turned invisible immediately after waking up. If I wanted to do anything to you, you would have been killed by now."

Accelerator followed behind Last Order with dissatisfaction, and spoke to someone hiding in the air in a threatening tone.

Number eight, your blatant hostility is so obvious that it really makes me angry.

It seems that because of a series of recent events, the two of them dislike each other, but fortunately they are both somewhat restrained.

"You can't do that. Sonoko is my good friend," Misaka Misaka said seriously, pretending to be an adult. Last Order grabbed Accelerator's hand with a serious look on his face.

"You..., forget it."

Accelerator's face calmed down a little, and he looked at the thick ice on the ceiling with some disdain. He just stepped on the ground lightly, and the ice turned into snowflakes that fell all over the institute.

"It's snowing. It's the first time I see snowflakes, Misaka Misaka said happily." With a happy smile on her face, Last Order jumped and cheered in the laboratory.

Chapter 179: There are many things I don't understand

The potato chips in the supermarket are not half price today, it's just a normal weekday.

An unknown research institute that was once responsible for the Absolute Ability Project is on the verge of being demolished, and the staff inside are also facing the problem of unemployment. A researcher named Kikyo Yoshikawa is thinking about joining her favorite education career.

But all this has nothing to do with Natsume. Her thoughtful eyes reveal a wisdom that is inconsistent with her age, and she has a calm and generous demeanor.
