Temperature Control in Academy City

These unmanned armed helicopters are now hovering in the sky above a certain location and cannot go down directly to participate in the battle because the battlefield has become the underground of Academy City.

Tearing through the clouds, an ace pilot accurately found the location relying on the navigation of these helicopters.

However, when he just arrived here, Natsume found that the entrance to the underground street had been blocked.

Armed security forces and some other armed personnel were evacuating the crowd, and several discipline committee members were also busy maintaining law and order.

"A major case has occurred in the underground street. Everyone, please leave here immediately."

An unknown discipline committee member carried the girl with a broken leg and slowly walked to the exit, directing the movement of the crowd as she walked.

"You should also seek shelter. We will take care of this place."

The guard named Huang Quanchuan took over the injured girl and spoke to the panting discipline committee member in front of him.

"Iron Suit, notify the riot squad to go out."

Teacher Huang Quanchuan looked at Tiezhuang Zhuili not far away, but she was a little flustered and talking to someone. She only reacted after hearing what Huang Quanchuan said.

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

Tiezhuang Zhuili was stunned for a moment, and spoke hurriedly, while pulling the girl beside him and walking outside.

"Natsume-san, it's very dangerous inside, please seek shelter immediately."

While contacting the team members, Tiezhuang Zhuili said to a girl with a bun on the side.

"Tetsusou-sensei, I'm actually here to help, and a few of my friends are still in there."

As Natsume Sonoko spoke, she took out the discipline committee member's armband. Speaking of which, the discipline committee member's armband should be very useful in this kind of situation.

"Okay, I know that Natsume-san has been a temporary discipline committee member, but now is not the time for you to do whatever you want. Even though I heard that you, Natsume-san, have become the eighth level 5, this is still not a place for you to show off. Please cooperate with us."

Before he finished speaking, Natsume-san was pulled away from the cordon range, and the teacher in the iron suit said with a serious face.

Although Natsume has become level 5, he is still a student, and teachers have the obligation to protect students.

"But I..., okay."

Looking at the serious face in Tiezhuangzhu, Natsume nodded helplessly.

Unable to persuade Teacher Tesso, Natsume Sonoko stood obediently outside the cordon with an innocent look on her face.

I originally wanted to find Misaka-senpai and Index and the others through formal means, but all I got was an evacuation.

Now I won’t pretend anymore, I’m going to be honest, I will actually be invisible.

Before the crowd had time to evacuate, the lights inside the underground street suddenly went out, and the place went from brightly lit to pitch black.

As the lights went out, widespread power outages ensued.

Due to the power outage, the doors at several exits of the underground street began to close automatically, and the doors, which were several tens of centimeters thick, began to slowly fall down.

"It's too late, everyone rush in together."

The incident happened suddenly, Teacher Huang Quanchuan said hurriedly, and dozens of security guards following behind him also rushed into the underground street.

Just as the door to the underground street was about to close, it was suddenly lifted up for a moment by a huge air pressure, and then slammed down to the ground.

As the door closed, the huge airflow was cut off, causing dust to fly all around.

The underground street became extremely dark, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Due to the power outage, the light source in the underground street had completely disappeared, leaving only the flashlights carried by the security guards.

Without much time to hesitate, Natsume Sonoko took advantage of the gap when the underground street door fell and successfully ran inside.

I talked to Misaka-senpai on the phone and they are here in the underground shopping mall. If I don't see Shirai-san and Misaka-senpai outside, then they must be inside.

Although Shirai-san doesn't have to worry because she can teleport, it seems that Index and the others are here too.

I wanted to call to confirm, but the next second there was a power outage and the door started to close. Without thinking too much, Natsume ran in immediately.

"There are strange eyes on the wall."

A security guard said in surprise, and for a moment, everyone's eyes looked in a certain direction.

With the help of the guard's light, Natsume Sonoko saw some strange things on the wall. They grew on the wall like eyes, and seemed to be spying on something.

"A person with special abilities? Not quite. Maybe it's magic."

Natsume is not a native student of Academy City. She has been out and about and even been locked up in a magic circle for several months. In this way, Natsume actually has a wide range of experience.

But what you know is only limited to the surface.

If you really want to be picky, Natsume's understanding of magic is as superficial as Index's understanding of technology. He even uses common sense from scientific measurements to speculate about magic.

"If it was an intruder from outside, the opponent might be a magician."

Natsume Sonoko suddenly became nervous, and even her breathing became faster.

I have actually seen quite a few magicians.

Natsume recalled Index, Kamijou Kaori and the others. They looked no different from ordinary people, and the scientific measurement guy felt a little more confident.

Following the team of security guards, Natsume Sonoko floated quietly around like a competent ghost.

Along the way, we found a few students who had not yet been evacuated. They were all taken care of by the security guards. In such a closed environment, being with the security guards is undoubtedly the safest.

However, this sense of security soon disappeared, as a woman wearing a tattered black Gothic Lolita-style dress walked straight towards here.

She had messy blond hair and chocolate brown skin, and she was probably over 20 years old. Her appearance immediately made the guards nervous.

The woman's name is Shirley Cromwell, and she belongs to the British Puritan special forces "Church of Necessary Evil".

Although no one knew why she came to Academy City, she seemed to have already chosen her target.

At this moment, she looked up at the guard who was blocking the road, a trace of annoyance flashed across her face. Troubles really kept popping up.

"Is it her?" Teacher Huang Quanchuan asked with a frown.

"Yes, it is consistent with the information."

Tiezhuangzhuli on the side nodded and said.

And within a few seconds after confirming it, Teacher Huang Quanchuan gave the order to open fire.

Dense bullets began to be fired, but were blocked by an invisible barrier. It seemed that some magic was cast near the body.

Natsume, a classmate standing by, was a little dazed. He didn't find Index and the others, but instead encountered the illegal intruder.

Natsume Sonoko was not idle either, and her face became serious.

He controlled the hot air and began to attack the opponent, only to find that there seemed to be a strange barrier near the body of the person opposite, which directly blocked Natsume's hot air flow.

However, Natsume-san turned to control the air inside the barrier, and suddenly a burning sensation surged into Shirley Cromwell's brain.

Her steps began to stagger and she looked like she was about to fall down, but she reacted very quickly and covered her mouth and nose at the first moment.

Several strange eyeballs nearby then exploded violently.

The explosion was not powerful, but it produced a huge cloud of smoke and dust, causing the air around it to become turbulent immediately. In an instant, Natsume lost control of the thermal airflow.

Natsume was able to calm the violent airflow in a very short time, but the original surprise attack was interrupted.

And in the next second, Shirley Cromwell's figure immediately moved quickly on Natsume's radar map, and then disappeared completely.

When the air calmed down, a deep pit appeared on the ground, and where the magician had been, a stone giant over four meters tall appeared.

Chapter 192 Not Human

Disappeared.

Natsume looked at this huge hole deep underground with a look of surprise on his face.

Although he noticed the opponent's movements at the first moment and quickly condensed a layer of ice on the ground, he was unable to hinder the opponent's movements, and couldn't even stop it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw some Latin words written in oil paint on the nearby wall. Natsume had never learned Latin and didn't understand the meaning of them.

Sure enough, he is from the magic side.

After seeing these incomprehensible texts, this conclusion can finally be drawn.

It's not just the sudden appearance of the underground cave, but also the stone giant standing quietly, which means the emergence of another kind of power different from that of the people with special abilities.

Natsume Sonoko slowly raised her eyes, and at this time the stone giant began to tremble continuously. It seemed that new trouble had arisen.

Scarlet light shone from the eyes of the stone giant not far away, and its four-meter-tall body began to move.

The stone giant had just taken the first step when dense bullets covered his entire field of vision.

Flames spewed out of the guard's gun, and the stone giant's body parts were blown all over the place.

But the stone man has extremely strong recovery ability, and can quickly recover to its original state even if hit by special rifle bullets with muzzle energy exceeding several thousand joules.

The roaring like a wild beast, coupled with the menacing charge scene, gives people a feeling of watching a Hollywood blockbuster.

Without dodging the rain of bullets, the stone giant pounded the ground violently, and a violent tremor swept around.

Unable to maintain balance, the security guard in the front row lost his balance and fell to the ground in an instant.

After the huge shock, the stone giant began to run, and the reaction force generated at the beginning even left two marks more than ten centimeters deep on the ground.

The running of the stone man was accompanied by a strong shaking of the ground. The guards' fire suppression was ineffective for a while, and could only force it to get closer and closer.

The strong vibration of the ground did not affect Natsume, but made her more focused.

With some water condensed on hand, under Natsume's atmospheric control, a simple reusable water knife was made.

Some of the water pipes in the underground street were slightly damaged. With a large amount of water added in, Natsume's water knife production became more convenient.

It is somewhat different from the previous super-pressure cannon. It not only requires strong pressure, but also needs to spray water out from a narrow opening.

As long as the applied pressure is large enough and the nozzle is small enough, the power of the water jet will increase dramatically.

At the same time, the clever classmate Natsume also mixed some fine sand and gravel into the water, which is said to greatly improve the cutting efficiency of the water jet.

The idea is good and not difficult to implement, but the most troublesome thing is to create a small and stable hole with air.

However, in such a relatively small range, it is more useful to use a technique like water knife, which has a weaker impact but greater destructive power.

A long and thin water arrow shot at the stone giant's foot, cutting it off at the ankle. The stone giant immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.

In a very short time, the stone giant's ankle began to recover and he stood up again.

"I have encountered enemies who can continuously recover many times, so there is a high probability that there is a core in their body that controls everything."

Natsume Sonoko didn't have much experience with this type of enemy that could recover. When she had just reached level 4, she had faced a giant tentacle monster that could regenerate indefinitely.

These monsters all have one characteristic, which is that they all have something like a core inside their bodies.

Well, this is a bit of a generalization. After all, scientific testing and the magical side cannot be confused. But Natsume Sonoko feels that it should not be wrong. At most, the methods of destruction are different.

Moreover, this stone giant has a recovery time of nearly two seconds, instead of instant recovery.

Noticing this, Natsume Sonoko's evaluation of the stone man dropped again.

The sharp water knife continuously cut the stone man's legs, making it unable to get up and could only fall to the ground again and again.

At the same time, dense high-pressure water jets cut various parts of the stone giant one by one, which was equivalent to a comprehensive amputation operation.

However, the effect is far from ideal, as the head can be immediately restored even after being cut off.

Just as Dr. Natsume was thinking about how to perform surgery on this stone giant.

There was a sound like a heavy object hitting the ground again, and this familiar feeling of vibration seemed familiar.

Is there a second monster like this? This was Natsume's first reaction. It seems that the illegal intruder has not given up her plan yet.

If I guessed correctly, who is fighting with the other monster now?

This underground street is quite large, and Natsume is unable to use his ability to sense what is happening on the other side.

As she thought about it, Natsume Sonoko looked at the stone giant on the ground with a troubled look.

It seems that I can't continue wasting time on this guy.

With the help of Lingzi's computing power, the number of water jets in the air began to increase rapidly, and immediately covered the stone man's body from all angles.

However, as the number of water jets increased, the amount of air Natsume was controlling also increased. The air content of this underground street also dropped rapidly, and some people with poor physical fitness would even experience altitude sickness.

Natsume-san also noticed this, but compared to the tricks she usually uses, she is undoubtedly much more restrained now.
