Temperature Control in Academy City

Chuchun's expression changed slightly, and she began to worry about Phibre as she spoke. If this was the case, Phibre was too pitiful.

“But artificial thinking, is such a thing really possible? This is too much,” the married senior finally said, her voice trembling.

The others also fell silent at this time, not knowing how to respond.

It was soon late at night, and according to Tokiwadai's schedule, it was almost time to turn off the lights.

Since the senior sister had abandoned her classmates in Wannei after her marriage, she was now in a hurry to go back.

As for the remaining few Tokiwadai students, they went to the Tokiwadai dormitory halfway through the trip and sneaked out again after the dorm supervisor finished checking the dormitories.

After spending the night in the hospital corridor, Natsume and Hatsuharu both made full use of their ability to keep warm. In this cool autumn day, everyone slept soundly.

The only drawback is that the stools in the hospital are too hard. I can only sleep comfortably if I lean against Shirai-san.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Natsume Sonoko opened her eyes drowsily and looked down at Shirai, whose shoulder was covered with red marks from being pressed by her.

It was still early and according to my biological clock I shouldn't wake up yet, but I rubbed my eyes and looked around.

Just now, a formula in her head was triggered, and she discovered that a heat source that was not specially marked was approaching her.

Ever since she fell asleep in Accelerator's research institute last time, Natsume Sonoko has spent some time and computing power to study the abilities that occur after falling asleep, and has achieved some results so far.

Natsume-san has greatly reduced the detection effect of the radar map, limiting the range to five meters around.

But the success rate of the test was not high, because his own computing power was too weak in the unconscious state. Also because he was unconscious, he could not mobilize the computing power of Zero.

In addition, the radar formula that can capture dynamic objects is relatively complicated. It is not at all like the simplest formula like his own constant temperature layer or Accelerator's reflection.

But a low success rate does not mean that there is no success rate.

"you're awake."

Not far away stood a quack doctor with his hands behind his back and a kind look on his face.

"Good morning, Dr. Quata."

Natsume-san forced himself to cheer up and said this, but he regretted it the moment he finished speaking.

Oh no, it should be the ghost-chasing doctor from the underworld.

"Feel sorry."

Reacting immediately, Natsume Sonoko hurriedly stood up.

"It's okay, but Phibree has woken up."

The Ghost Chaser in the Underworld didn't take it to heart, shook his head and continued.

Lying on the hospital bed, Phibre blinked quietly, and even the ahoge on his head seemed a little listless.

"Great, the fever is gone."

Saten-san gently placed her hand on Phoebe's forehead, a look of relief appearing on her face.

"How do you feel? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Hatsuharu asked worriedly, sitting on the hospital bed.

Natsume doesn't need to touch Phibre's skin, he can still get Phibre's body temperature data in his head.

Although Natsume was very happy that Phoebe had recovered, his eyes suddenly caught sight of Dr. Quata outside the ward.

Senior Misaka is chatting with Dr. Quata, and the two of them have been chatting for a long time.

But seeing as Misaka-senpai was frowning, maybe the situation for Febry wasn't too optimistic.

Natsume Sonoko has great trust in the medical skills of the Ghost Chaser. If even this doctor can't help, then the problem is very serious.

Just then, Misaka-senpai walked in with her head lowered and a somewhat forced smile on her face.

"Misaka-senpai, what did the doctor say? Can Febri be discharged from the hospital?"

Saten-san asked with some concern, looking at Misaka-san with an expectant look.

"Well, the doctor said you can go home."

Turning her head slightly to the side, Misaka-senpai seemed to be speaking evasively.

"That's it, that's great."

"Phibre, we can go back now."

Hatsuharu and the others were all very happy, and even Shirai smiled, but like a certain bun-haired girl, Shirai also noticed something wrong with Misaka-senpai.

"Misaka-senpai, did the Underworld Soul Chaser doctor say anything else just now?"

Looking at Misaka-senpai who looked hesitant, Natsume Sonoko suddenly asked.

Natsume is essentially a person who doesn't like to trouble others, but when he encounters difficulties, he will actively seek help from others and rarely refuses other people's kindness.

I believe in the simple value of strength in numbers and that if you help me, I will help you. At one point, I thought about recruiting helpers from everywhere.

But Misaka-senpai is different from Natsume-san. She always wants to solve problems by herself. She is very stubborn and cute.

Chapter 208 Together

"What else did the doctor say? Why did Natsume-san suddenly ask this?"

Senior Misaka took a step back, her pupils slightly dilated, and her expression looked a little strange.

"Sister, there's something wrong with you."

Shirai, who had been hesitant, also came over at this time, squinting her eyes and approaching Misaka-senpai in a somewhat menacing manner.

Under this inexplicable momentum, Misaka-senpai retreated repeatedly, which was unusual for her. She was soon forced into a corner by Shirai-san. She did not show her usual majestic demeanor at all.

"Don't come over here, Heizi, you're too close."

The originally fair skin of the Railgun turned rosy, and it subconsciously pushed away the over-expanding Shirai-classmate, and it took a while to stabilize its somewhat rapid breathing.

My expression was so obvious that the haters noticed it so quickly.

"Sure enough, elder sister is hiding something from us."

Looking at Misaka-senpai, whose behavior was completely different from usual, Detective Shirai pushed his non-existent eyes and came to a final conclusion.

Under normal circumstances, Misaka-senpai would never be forced into a corner so easily.

Shirai's eyes suddenly lit up, and a perverted smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"There is a flaw behind Onee-sama."

He suddenly used a spatial teleportation move and landed behind Misaka-senpai, only to be knocked to the floor by the oncoming electric shock.

"Shirai-san, can't you see that Misaka-senpai is in a bad mood?"

Natsume Sonoko silently glanced at Shirai-san who was stuck to the floor, and she couldn't help but feel a little toothache. Sometimes Shirai-san didn't seem to know how to consider the occasion.

Although Misaka-senpai looked a little upset, her fighting ability was not diminished at all.

After the electric shock, a faint smell of burning lingered in the room. A breeze brought by someone blew away the smell, and the smell in the ward finally returned to normal.

"Even if Misaka-senpai didn't say it, I could probably guess it. As expected, my guess just now must be correct."

Glancing once more at the smoking Shirai-san, Natsume Sonoko still had a thoughtful look on her face.

"Misaka-senpai, is Phoebe's condition serious?"

Uiharu-san looks at the A Certain Scientific Railgun that has become coy, and a hint of anxiety flashes across her face.

"Misaka-san, let me explain. Although Misaka-san wants to take responsibility, one person's strength is not enough after all, and it may lead to regrettable consequences."

A familiar figure appeared at the door, and the Ghost Chaser Doctor suddenly walked in.

"Come to think of it, there are many excellent classmates here. Misaka-san can try to rely on everyone instead of always thinking about one person."

The Ghost Chaser continued, his eyes moving across everyone's faces.

"doctor."

Misaka-senpai's expression changed and she stepped aside to make way.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about Phibbere's condition. The reason Phibbere was able to recover is because of the medicine she brought with her." As soon as the Ghost Chaser Doctor spoke, everyone became nervous.

It can cure all human diseases but is helpless against non-humans. The Ghost Chaser, who is known as the master of bone-setting and resurrection, also has his own professional limitations.

"why is it like this."

"Phibre, is she seriously ill?"

"Do you mean the candy by potion?"

With everyone talking at once, the ward became a little noisy. In short, everything became a little confusing.

"I analyzed the proteins that make up her body and found that they are substances that do not exist in nature. Whether in appearance or body function, Phibre is no different from ordinary people. But in fact, Phibre is a man-made product made of some chemical materials."

"It's just that once Febree undergoes metabolism, her body will secrete a certain amount of toxin, which is fatal if accumulated continuously. The candy she carries with her is the neutralizer of this toxin." The ghost-chasing doctor of the underworld said concisely.

"The doctor means that Phibre can't live without sugar."

Saten hurriedly checked the number of candies on Phibbere. Including the one in Phibbere's mouth, there were only three left.

"If I take one candy a day from the three candies, I can last until the day of the academic meeting."

Natsume Sonoko said with a frown, but then she was stunned. Is this a coincidence?

"Just like what Natsume-san guessed, Phoebe is really..."

Uiharu murmured to herself a little, ruffling Phoebe's long hair with some heartache.

"Candy, toxin?"

At this time, Phibrey tilted her head in confusion. Although everyone was talking about her, Phibrey herself didn't seem to understand it very clearly. Like other children of the same age, she couldn't understand complicated things.

"And if you want to obtain this neutralizing agent or a way to treat Phibre, you need to start with those who make Phibre. As far as I know, the people doing this research are related to the Anbu, and there are several unknown organizations in Academy City that even the security guards cannot interfere with at will."

The Ghost Chaser of the Underworld said with emotion, shaking his head and looking a little depressed.

After going to the bedside to check on Phoebe's condition, the Ghost Chaser closed the door and left.

"The enemy this time is the Anbu?"

Natsume was a little dazed. She immediately thought of senior Archer Tiger Hunter. Could it be that the organization behind that senior was behind this?

But I don’t think so.

Natsume has also met several people in the organization led by Senior Archery, and they don't seem to be the type to do research.

Especially that person, I saw him from afar when I sneaked out of the disciple dormitory once, the second Weiyuan substance.

I heard from the Ghost Chaser Doctor that even the security guards cannot interfere with this kind of organization. However, it does not mean that they will not handle serious cases caused by the Anbu, but that they cannot interfere with the normal operations of the Anbu.

Black and white are clearly distinguished, with a clear dividing line between the two. However, once the line is crossed, the positions of both sides will become intertwined.

However, some of the Anbu's missions will cross this bottom line and cause considerable damage to the surface Academy City, especially to ordinary people.

After all, Natsume had successfully sent two Anbu guys to the security guards before, and I don’t know how they are doing now.

"Then the most important thing right now is to find the person who made Phibre."

With a look of determination on her face, Hatsuharu suddenly stood up and said.

"I remember that after the marriage, the senior seemed to have seen what one of them looked like." Saten-san immediately interrupted.

"And the other party appeared at the meeting place of the Academic Society. Maybe he is a participant of the Academic Society. After all, most people will not go to such a boring place." Natsume suggested.

I unknowingly told the truth. Natsume-san thought that kind of purely academic discussion was too boring. If it was about abilities, maybe I would be a little interested.

We just discussed it briefly and soon came up with some clues.

"The other party is the kind of Anbu that even the guards can't interfere with. There's no need for everyone to get involved." Senior Misaka was silent for a long time before she spoke.

Misaka-senpai was about to say something, but Shirai-san, who was charred by the electric shock, came behind her again.

"What you said, sister, is too much."

"When Hatsuharu and the others were kidnapped by the Anbu, you rushed here without hesitation. Is it that you are the only one left to take the risk?"

He stood up limping, his charred body particularly eye-catching. There were tears on Shirai's face, and it was unclear whether it was because of the pain or for some other reason.

Shirai's face gradually became serious. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Misaka-senpai's hand, and spoke righteously.
