Temperature Control in Academy City

After the marriage, Senior Sister Guangzi noticed something and turned around to look behind her.

no one? ?

The surrounding environment is very quiet, without any noise. Although the breathing sounds are very slight, they can be distinguished in this environment.

A lot of doubts surged into Senior Sister Guangzi's mind after her marriage. She held the folding fan in front of her and opened it slightly to make a defensive posture.

"Who is it?"

"You know I'm the married Mitsuko of Tokiwadai, but you still want to take advantage of me?"

After the marriage, Senior Sister Guangzi stood in the same place, the folding fan in her hand covering her face, and she was looking for the unknown enemy with a serious tone.

"Hmm? The phone's ringing."

Just when the married senior sister felt a wave of tension, the mobile phone in her schoolbag suddenly rang. Listening to the cheerful ringtone played by the mobile phone, the tense atmosphere nearby seemed to be destroyed.

"Why did you call at this time?" After getting married, Senior Sister Guangzi kept looking around and became more and more concerned.

"Did it suddenly disappear? Or did the other party give up?"

The cell phone was still ringing, but the inexplicable breathing sound gradually disappeared.

After the marriage, Senior Guangzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but her whole body was still a little tense. She leaned half of her body against the Western-style buildings around her, trying to minimize the area of ​​her body that could be exposed to the elements.

Seemingly feeling a little safer, Guangzi took out his cell phone and answered the call.

"It's Natsume. What can I do for you?" After opening her cell phone, Photon found that it was a call from Natsume Sonoko. The nervous expression on her face eased and instead revealed a hint of joy.

"Senior sister, I have received the invitation card you asked someone to send. Thank you very much." Natsume Sonoko on the opposite side said with a hint of gratitude.

"After all, it's just a small thing like this. There's no reason why I, after marriage, can't get it if Guangzi makes an effort. This is simply a waste of talent." When the married senior heard what Natsume Sonoko said, an inappropriate look of smugness appeared on her face, as if she had forgotten her current situation.

"I'm in some trouble for now. The other party has chosen me as their opponent very irrationally. But for the sake of caution, Natsume-san will inform Shirai-san that I, the post-marriage photon of Tokiwadai, need her little help. The location is near the 18th research room of the post-marriage aviation holding in the school garden."

After the marriage, the senior sister's tone became serious again. Although the other party's breathing sound disappeared, it did not mean that the other party had left.

Although she hated that guy Shirai Kuroko, the first person the senior thought of after getting married was this guy who could teleport.

Just as the post-marriage senior sister finished her words, there was a sudden crackling sound from the electric shock equipment being turned on, as it generated electric current.

After getting married, the senior student had to move around, with the phone in her hand and no time to talk, she suddenly bumped into something she couldn't see.

"Ah." After marriage, the senior sister only had time to let out a slight wail, and the whole person fell down like a deflated ball.

Not everyone can have the same lightning resistance as Shirai-san, and after marriage, the senior student obviously cannot withstand the electric shock released by the electric shock equipment.

Her messy hair scattered all around, her gorgeous folding fan fell to the ground and rolled a few times, and her black schoolbag and cell phone fell beside her.

After marriage, the senior sister fell to the ground like a sleeping beauty, but she did not get her prince charming, but a high-quality ink pen.

"Hello, Senior Sister After Marriage, are you okay?" Natsume Sonoko's voice came from the phone, but there was no response from Senior Sister After Marriage.

Suddenly, a sense of déjà vu came over Natsume Sonoko. On the other side of the phone, Natsume Sonoko didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly called Kuroko to inform him.

Different from the feeling of watching the anime before traveling through time, Natsume Sonoko was really a little angry. Although the senior sister was arrogant after marriage, she was a person who cared a lot about her friends.

Natsume Sonoko naturally knew what had happened and had some impression of the murderer, but this incident caught Natsume Sonoko off guard, as if the incident had happened in advance.

Chapter 21: Tokiwadai Under Attack

In the School Garden, after receiving a call for help from Natsume Sonoko, Shirai Kuroko immediately put down what she was doing and rushed to the scene.

"Natsume-san, are you sure that something happened to that annoying guy Mitsuko after the wedding? And he asked you to ask me for help!?"

The phone came with the sound of Kuroko running quickly, with a hint of surprise in her tone. Although Kuroko and this arrogant young lady didn't get along well, he couldn't just stand by and watch.

After dozens of space moves, about ten minutes later, Kuroko finally found a remote corner in the school garden.

At this point in time, Hatsuharu has already returned from the Discipline Committee 177, and without Hatsuharu's help in positioning, Kuroko can only spend a little more time.

Student Heizi looked around carefully. Although there were several research institutes located in this location, there was very little traffic, which made it very suitable for avoiding other people's sight. In addition, the light was blocked by the surrounding buildings, making it much dimmer.

"I feel dizzy." The married senior sister lying on the ground has already had a little reaction. Although her head is still dizzy and she can't muster any strength, she has finally regained some consciousness and is muttering to herself.

"Really? You arrogant guy, you didn't fall down and pass out." Kuroko looked at the married senior Photon who was covering her head with some helplessness. Now that the person has been found, the crisis can be almost resolved.

"Natsume-san, I found that annoying guy. His things were all over the floor. It looks like he just fell down. Can you please not treat me as a babysitter next time? Discipline committee members are very busy."

Although the married senior was right in front of him, Kuroko was not polite at all. He took out his cell phone and contacted Natsume Sonoko.

"No, after marriage, the senior sister did say that she was attacked by someone." Natsume Sonoko's voice came from the phone.

After marriage, the senior sister regained some consciousness and subconsciously moved her hands away from her head, revealing her smooth forehead.

"By the way, what happened to your annoying guy's forehead? Puff, puff, haha."

Heizi, a classmate standing by, just took a look and seemed to be tickled. He immediately squatted on the ground with his hands covering his mouth, trying hard to hold back his laughter and unable to stand up.

As if she sensed the presence of Kuroko, the senior sister opened her eyes dazedly, and looked at Kuroko, who was squatting on the ground with his hands covering his mouth and laughing, with a puzzled expression.

Guard District 7 Branch, Interrogation Room in the Guard Building.

Classmate Kuroko was waiting outside the inquiry room, looking at the sky absent-mindedly, with a hint of smile still on the corner of his mouth, as if he had just covered his mouth and laughed for a long time.

Natsume Sonoko, who had hurried over, also arrived outside the interrogation room, but she looked a little out of breath.

"Kuroko, there will be no problem with your senior after marriage, right?" Natsume Sonoko asked.

"There's nothing serious about that annoying guy, it's just that there's something wrong with her eyebrows." After saying this, Heizi couldn't help but laugh again, but he still maintained his ladylike appearance, covering his mouth to avoid making too many noises. Big laugh.

Since the married senior sister was not a big deal as in the plot, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then her curiosity was aroused by Kuroko's laughter.

How will my senior sister's thick eyebrows look after marriage? I'm a little curious.

"Isn't the conversation inside over yet?" Natsume Sonoko had been waiting outside for more than ten minutes, but the conversation inside was not over yet.

"It should be about time. Actually, the security guards are trying to confirm the credibility of that guy's words. He kept saying that he was attacked by an invisible person. If this is true, it would fall into the category of incidents involving people with special abilities."

Kuroko was more knowledgeable about this aspect, so he restrained his smile and explained to Natsume Sonoko who was standing beside him.

"Don't the discipline committee members have the power to search the library? Then they can find out the other party's information just by checking it out," asked Natsume Sonoko.

Natsume Sonoko, who had special channels, had a general idea of ​​the criminal's information, but what she lacked was his name and appearance.

"If the other party really has abilities that are imperceptible to others, I guess he might be an optical manipulation user, and we can indeed find him through the library. But first we have to make sure whether it is a user with special abilities who committed the crime, and we also need to check the nearby surveillance to confirm it." Kuroko said after thinking for a while.

If no clues to the incident are found, then the huge monitoring system in the Academy City will be mobilized. If nothing is found, then the satellites will be mobilized. With the power of technology, one can do whatever he wants.

"Both students outside please come in for a moment. I have something to ask you."

The security guard named Tesso Zuiri came out of the interrogation room. She was wearing high-powered glasses and a band-aid on her cheek. Even in the uniform of a security guard, she still looked weak.

"Okay, Mr. Tetsuzo." Natsume Sonoko nodded obediently and said.

There is no army in Academy City. Instead, security guards are relied upon to maintain the daily activities and safety of Academy City. At the same time, dealing with people with special abilities who abuse their abilities is also a focus of their work.

The guards are independent of the government armed forces and are a special force directly under the Academy City. The personnel are usually teachers in various schools, or at least people with teaching licenses, but female guards are relatively rare.

"Well, please explain what happened when you saw your classmates after they got married." Teacher Tesso Zuiri said.

Natsume Sonoko secretly glanced at the married senior schoolmate beside her, only to see that the married senior schoolmate still had the arrogant look of a young lady on her face. She unfolded her gorgeous folding fan, covering the part above her eyes. She turned her head away from looking at Shirai Kuroko who was covering her mouth and laughing beside her.

"This is the specific situation, and this is all we know." After telling the whole story, Natsume Sonoko spoke.

At this time, the security guard also played a video, which was the scene when Senior Sister Guangzi was attacked after marriage. The picture was far away from the crime scene and only the outline of the person could be roughly seen.

"He has been following my senior sister after she got married. Even when he is so close, it is difficult to detect him." Natsume Sonoko also found it a little unbelievable. The abilities of Academy City are really strange. He is clearly right next to her, but she can't see his figure no matter what.

Some of the extrasensory perception abilities are really hard to guard against and are totally unscientific!

There are also some powerful users with optical abilities who can distort the light around them to the point where they cannot be monitored by people or equipment. Of course, there must be ways to deal with these people in Academy City.

Regarding all the strange and bizarre abilities, Natsume Sonoko said that Academy City is really dangerous and it is a huge challenge for an ordinary student like her to live in such an environment.

Not to mention the level 5 seniors who are like monsters, there are all kinds of Frankensteins and all kinds of perverted experiments emerging in an endless stream.

The video kept playing, and the distance between the two people suddenly widened. This was probably when he was calling his senior sister after marriage. The ringtone of the cell phone seemed to scare the prisoner, causing her to delay her action for a while.

"It seems that the other party is also a naive novice. Maybe it's her first time. Even if the events have changed, will the married senior sister still be the first one?" Natsume Sonoko thought, and her eyes inexplicably looked at the married senior sister.

"We will inform you if there is any situation." Teacher Tetsuzo Zuiri said after sending them to the door.

Just as they were leaving the security building, another Tokiwadai student came here, supported by his classmates. When Kuroko asked him about it, he also said that he was attacked by some invisible person.

Kuroko's brows were already furrowed. It seemed that this matter was no longer just about the married senior, but might be targeting the entire Tokiwadai Junior High School.

In short, the students of Tokiwadai Junior High School are facing an invisible crisis, and the Tokiwadai students who are left alone are in danger.

"Will abilities such as optics and invisibility that can eliminate the sense of existence be effective on Shokuhou Misaki-senpai? If the weak Shokuhou-senpai is attacked by surprise, can she be killed as a level 5?" Natsume Sonoko suddenly thought of something in her head, and her thoughts couldn't help but diverge, but in the blink of an eye she felt that it was not feasible.

After all, Shokuhou Misaki-senpai is in charge of almost all mental phenomena, and perhaps some of them include abilities such as telepathy and danger perception.

After the marriage, the senior rejected Natsume Sonoko's suggestion to go with Kuroko-san, and it was probably impossible for her to appear in front of the crowd before the ink faded.

According to information from the security guards, these inks are the latest products developed by the universities in the 10th District of Academy City, and they will definitely not be washed off within a week.

.....***Gorgeous dividing line***....

The next day, the Discipline Committee member 177 was active in the branch.

Senior Gufa Miwei, the discipline committee member, is not in the activity branch. Kuroko and Hatsuharu are sitting in front of the computer looking up information, while Natsume Sonoko is sitting quietly on a stool waiting for the results of the two people's searches.

"I think before we check the alibis of these optical ability users, we should find other ability users who may be able to do similar things."

Natsume Sonoko sat on the sofa somewhat unhappily. With the sole purpose of venting her anger for her married senior sister, Natsume Sonoko decided to personally teach the murderer a lesson, then arrest her and send her to labor reform.

But this hateful Kuroko-san didn't consider Natsume Sonoko's opinion at all.

Even though Natsume Sonoko has already suggested investigating people with special abilities such as visual impairment, hallucination creation, and brain control, Kuroko still does not intend to let Natsume Sonoko get involved in irrelevant events. Instead, Hatsuharu-san, who is standing next to her, listens carefully to Natsume Sonoko's opinions.

"This is no longer an incident that has nothing to do with me. I am a member of Tokiwadai, and my married senior is also my friend. I want to help find the murderer."

Natsume Sonoko slammed the table and stood up, but was immediately pinned down on the head by Kuroko-classmate, who had the height advantage, and she was unable to move.

"I don't know when that annoying guy Guangzi got a friend like you after marriage, but." Kuroko showed a depressed expression on his face.

Before Kuroko-san could finish his words, Uiharu-san beside him continued what Kuroko-san was saying.

"But I can help investigate the types of people with special abilities mentioned by Natsume in the library, and Kuroko can continue to investigate the alibis of these people with optical special abilities." Hatsuharu said in a sweet voice, looking like a little angel with the wreath on her head.

Chapter 22: Natsume Sonoko: I have human radar

There are a total of 47 optical ability users who can completely conceal their bodies registered in the Academy City Library, and their ability levels are all above that of a strong ability user.

Collecting their alibis would not be possible in a day or two, even with the help of other discipline committees and even the security branch.

Regarding the attack on Tokiwadai students, it is not actually under the jurisdiction of Hatsuharu and her colleagues' Discipline Committee 177 Activity Branch. The specific situation has been reported to the Discipline Committee Activity Branch at Tokiwadai Junior High School.

"Kuroko-san, this is Makigami-komaki."

"We've learned about the specific situation. We've sent out warning emails to all Tokiwadai students and have also dispatched personnel to patrol the area around the school." The voice of Makugami Komaki came from the other end of the line.

Makugami Komaki is a first-year student at Tokiwadai and a member of the third discipline committee. Recently, she seems to have joined the Shokuhou faction and become one of them.

Natsume Sonoko had no experience with her and only saw her patrolling inside Tokiwadai Junior High School from a distance.

After Makuami hung up the phone, Kuroko came to his senses and looked at Hatsuharu who was still looking through the library.

"Visual obstruction, there is only one person in the Academy City, Shigefuku Shoho, a second-year student at Sekisho Junior High School, level 2."

"Illusion Creation: There are fifteen people in Academy City, and three of them are able to create real illusions. They are first-year students from Changdian Shangji Middle School..."

"..."

After expanding the scope of the ability, the number of people with abilities that needed to be investigated increased several times. However, among the vast crowd, the clever Natsume Sonoko still grasped the key points at a glance.

"Chongfu Shengfan, ability visual obstruction, level lv2."

Seeing that Natsume has focused his attention on this person, Hatsuharu beside him seems a little puzzled. Although a level 2 ability user is considered good in Academy City, he still cannot become invisible in front of people. The most he can do is to reduce his presence.

After leaving the Discipline Committee 177th Branch, Natsume Sonoko had already obtained the information she wanted.

"Shigefuku Shōfan, second year student at Sekisho Middle School."

The originally vague memory has become clearer, overlapping with the photos and information in the materials, thus completing this part of the memory.

"Now it's my turn, Natsume Sonoko." Silently encouraging herself, Natsume Sonoko walked towards the School Garden. After carefully studying the opponent's abilities, Natsume Sonoko found that she was actually quite capable of restraining the opponent.

The other party can use their abilities to influence people's eyes, but it is only limited to human eyes, and has no hindrance to non-human eyes such as mirrors and cameras.
