Temperature Control in Academy City

"And just recently, the experiment originally prepared for the third person was interrupted, resulting in us not being able to analyze any data about the third person. The person who took action is suspected to be the eighth person." Fu Chunshu said.

In order to collect data on the railgun, the drive armors originally stored in the abandoned factory were prepared as test tools. Although some research institutes already have finished products that imitate the railgun, this kind of knowledge is not circulated.

At the same time, given the information that the railgun itself is a power generator, they prepared special drive armor without a power system, which can effectively block the attacks and influence of people with electric shock abilities.

However, there are only those drive armors. The rest of the drive armors they prepared still retain the power system when they left the factory. After all, the super-electromagnetic gun was not included in their plan at the beginning.

"When Jenny's hair was being put into the Drive Armor, a telekinetic user appeared. As far as I know, there is no telekinetic user of this level in Academy City who can tear a Drive Armor made of special metal into pieces with just a few thoughts."

"So I speculate that the person who was actually present at the time was the eighth person. You can check the report on the eighth person's abilities to see this." You Fuchunshu showed a look of certainty.

“Should we include the eighth person’s abilities in the experiment? However, according to the data, her abilities are too scattered and not suitable for analysis.” One of the fatter researchers said hesitantly.

Analyzing superpowers also has costs, and the most valuable ones are some powerful destructive moves, or abilities that have powerful destructive power. If you want to imitate the ability, it must also be easy to carry and use the machine.

For example, when the eighth person created a tornado during the assessment, if they wanted to imitate it, they would have to affect a part of the atmosphere, so the size of the manufactured machinery would need to be greatly increased, which is obviously inefficient.

"Our goal is to change the existing method of manufacturing users with special abilities, from relying on talent, a low-probability event, to mass-produced users with special abilities manufactured using chemical-like materials. In order to improve the manufacturing process, we need to analyze the eighth ability." Another researcher retorted.

"The eighth's ability needs to be analyzed, but not now."

"According to intelligence, the Eighth has an invisibility ability that cannot be detected by conventional means such as the naked eye and infrared. Not only the driver armor, but also all of us cannot identify it."

"At this critical moment of the plan, no matter what the relationship between Miss Bushu and this person is, we need to dispel this person's doubts as much as possible."

You Fuchunshu shook his head, with a look of certainty on his face.

After a round of collective voting, Fuchunshu handed the dialed phone to Butsuko Toshinori with a serious face.

Although they were not worried about the Eighth Person discovering their location, the Eighth Person had accidentally been involved in their experiment and had discovered Jenny's hair. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, they needed to respond in advance.

Unlike the third and fourth, they obviously have no good way to deal with the eighth, and Natsume seems to be particularly valued.

But Butsuko Toshin was obviously stunned and seemed unable to react.

But then I understood again. It was obvious that this Arichon Haruki didn't know the relationship between Natsume and Misaka Mikoto.

Because of Tokiharu's presence at the Academy Meeting today, Phibbery only had the third Railgun by his side.

Even in his impression, the relationship between people with super powers is very tense, which can be seen from the hostility between some of them.

After taking a deep breath, Butsuko Toshinori took the phone, and a hint of inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Natsume-san, my name is Fusuka Toshinori."

After waiting for a long time, there was only some unclear noise on the other end.

Suddenly hearing the voice of Butsuko-senpai, Natsume Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 206 New Clues

"So that's how it is. Senior Butsu, you are participating in a secret experiment, and you are not allowed to contact the outside world."

With a strange look on his face, a guy with a bun on his head couldn't help but say in surprise.

Although she still didn't quite understand what had happened, Senior Butsuko was really bold in speaking out, worthy of being the girl who had dared to resist the Absolute Ability User Plan alone.

Due to some premonitions brought by her memories, Natsume Sonoko felt a little worried about this senior schoolmate whom she was not very familiar with, but she was also curious about what she would say next.

If she told him where she was being held the next second, Natsume might go straight to the source.

"But if you encounter any trouble, maybe I can help you." Natsume thought about it and said hesitantly.

And just as Natsume Sonoko finished saying this, everyone, including Tokiharu, turned their eyes to Hotsuka Toshinori.

Someone wanted to stop the call, but was stopped by another person.

"It's nothing serious. The experiment here requires my help, so I can't get away for the time being. If you really need help from Natsume-san, I will find a chance to contact you."

Butsuko Toshinori said expressionlessly, his tone indifferent and calm.

"Is that all? Okay."

On the other side, Natsume understood what was going on and had a better understanding of Butsuko-senpai's situation.

It seems that the guys who trapped Senior Butsu should be right next to her.

Although I hate troublesome things, it would be much easier if I could solve the trouble at its source than letting the trouble find me and my friends.

Although she didn't hear anything unfavorable from Senior Butsuko, Natsume Sonoko still habitually thought of things in the worst possible way. After all, some of her memories were involved here.

Based on multiple analyses of memory, basically nothing good happened.

"Well, I'll hang up first. I still have some work to do here."

"Hey. Wait a minute, about..."

Natsume Sonoko was about to ask about Phoebe, but then she fell silent.

If nothing unexpected happened, Phibre and Senior Butsu must be related. But since Senior Butsu didn't mention Phibre, it would be best if I didn't mention it casually.

And Senior Bushu just said that she would contact me if I needed help.

Contact yourself, do you mean Phoebe?

Natsume-san tilted his head, as if remembering something.

She remembered that Febree kept repeating her and Misaka-senpai's names.

Sure enough, this is the hidden distress signal!

When it comes to the work content of Senior Hotsuku, Natsume Sonoko thought of the Misaka sisters.

The technology derived from Butsu-senpai's thesis is a personality-making instrument called a learning device.

Is Phibre actually a similar being to Misaka Sisters?

Dududu~~

There was a busy tone on the phone, and Senior Sister Butsu handed the phone to You Fuchunshu. She looked around and saw several pairs of eyes staring at her.

"The signal from the other side has been disconnected."

One of them spoke up and said that he used a computer to control the entire conversation and prevent the other party from using the pulse signals generated by the call to find the location of them.

As for using the mobile phone number itself for positioning when not making calls or surfing the Internet, it is currently impossible.

"Ms. Bushu, why do you want to mention the experiment?" Fu Chunshu asked seriously.

"I am a researcher, and it is normal for me to be invited to participate in experiments."

"Besides, I was sold here by the Anbu. I have nowhere to go if I leave here."

Butsuko Toshinori answered seriously, indicating that he would not betray 'study'.

If you try to escape from here, it would be equivalent to challenging the bottom line of all the Anbu, and you will not be able to stay in the Academy City at all.

This may also be the reason why many ANBU members are unable to leave, because they have no choice at all.

"It's already this late, I should probably go back."

After putting away her phone, Natsume Sonoko restrained her expression and jumped down from a height of hundreds of meters.

After many flights, Natsume Sonoko's fear of heights had long been cured. After seeing the world, jumping off a building was like walking up the stairs.

However, he did not go back to the student dormitory, but headed towards Saten-san.

Now that the distress signal brought by Phoebe has been almost confirmed, the next step is to figure out what happened and get back before lights out.

A university hospital.

In the end, I didn't go to Zuo Tian's home, but ended up in this hospital halfway.

This hospital is also where some of the Misaka sisters undergo cell adjustments, and Reiko often comes here. The most famous doctor here is Quata, no, the Underworld Soul Chaser.

Speaking of 'Zero', she was still working hard delivering the express at that time. After all, her speed was much slower than that of Natsume herself.

When Febry was at Saten's classmate's house, he suddenly fell into a coma and then had a high fever, and was rushed to this hospital.

"Natsume-san, you're finally here."

At the entrance of the hospital, Misaka-senpai and the others were waiting anxiously. Phibeley had been sent to the hospital for quite some time, but she had not received a specific response from the doctor yet.

And besides Misaka-senpai and the others, even married-senpai is here.

"Married Senior, why are you here too?"

Natsume Sonoko was slightly stunned and asked curiously.

"Of course I'm worried about Phoebe, and this time I'm here to inform Misaka-san and the others that Phoebe is in a big crisis."

After marriage, the senior sister placed her fan on her face, with a barely perceptible seriousness flashing across her face.

Natsume-san has unknowingly reached level 5, and is worthy of being a friend recognized by my post-marriage Photon from Tokiwadai.

Thinking back to the past, Natsume was just a first-year student who knew nothing.

"Natsume-san, don't become lazy just because you have reached level 5. I will catch up with you."

After the marriage, the senior sister suddenly opened the fan and revealed a serious face.

"I understand. Senior sister, we should also work together after marriage."

Natsume-san showed a beautiful smile on his face and nodded in answer.

The topic returned to Phoebe, and Natsume immediately knew the news brought by the married senior.

It turned out that after getting married, the senior was asked to help in the Scholars' Association. Not only did she get to know Phibre, but she also heard the news that someone was going to harm Phibre and was preparing to take Phibre back.

"I have some new clues about Phoebe's case. I just spoke to Senior Butsu."

Natsume Sonoko looked at everyone with a little hesitation.

"Natsume-san, you're saying that Phoebe's mind might be artificially created."

After listening to what Natsume Sonoko said, Misaka-senpai clenched her fists slightly, and a strong anger flowed from her whole body.

Could it be that Phoebe was the product of another of those endless cloning experiments?

"If that's the case, then the other party's intention to reclaim Phibbery can be explained."

Hatsuharu-san was holding a computer and checking Butsuko Toshin's information when she suddenly looked up at everyone.

Chapter 207 Stubborn and Cute

"I think this may not be what Senior Butsuki really meant. Maybe it's just some normal small talk, just like what she said."

Shirai-san displayed her usual spirit of going against the grain, listened carefully to the opinion of a certain bun-haired girl, and finally came up with a completely different idea.

"As a discipline committee member, you can't rely on this kind of word guessing method to draw completely irrelevant conclusions. Natsume-san is really naive. In my opinion, that Butsu-senpai might just be participating in some experiment."

Shirai-san didn't even look at the resentful look of the girl with the bun, but instead approached Misaka-san and spoke seriously.

"What Shirai-san said does make some sense."

Saten, who was standing by, held her chin and thought carefully. In short, what everyone said made a lot of sense.

Whether it is speculating that it was Futsuka Toshinori who told Phoebe the names of Misaka-senpai and the others, or concluding from Futsuka Toshinori's research direction that Phoebe might be a man-made product, it seems that the evidence is somewhat insufficient.

"And onee-sama is just as naive as Natsume-san. She's already so angry before she's even confirmed something. I really don't know what to say."

Shirai shook his head, looking calm and composed as if he was giving advice on a matter of fact.

"I see. I didn't think too much about it just now. But I think Natsume-san's guess is very likely."

There was some hesitation on Misaka-senpai's face, and it was obvious that she had been led into a ditch by that annoying spatial movement.

But for some reason, Misaka-senpai subconsciously felt that Natsume-san was right.

Perhaps he remembered that one night, Natsume-san resolutely rushed into that building.

"Calm down."

Natsume Sonoko thought secretly, but her mouth puffed up involuntarily, and her eyes widened as she stared at Shirai Kuroko.

"Damn it, I don't even know how to refute it."

Suddenly I felt a little discouraged, so sometimes Natsume Sonoko didn't want to explain too much. She couldn't say that she had memories of her past life to refer to.

"Actually, I think Natsume-san's guess is correct. This can explain the conversations that the senior heard in the academic association after marriage." Hatsuharu said again.
