Temperature Control in Academy City

At this time, looking around, the green belts on both sides of the originally empty straight road have disappeared, replaced by countless reinforced concrete buildings.

"Look, the road is gone."

A scream was heard, and the asphalt road turned into a brick surface that could be seen everywhere. Unknowingly, they drove to a strange place.

"This mud wall is fake, and these buildings are fake too."

Aoki Yui frowned and touched the earth wall in front of him, but it was not as solid as he had imagined. Instead, it felt like air, like a mirage created by optics.

Similar technology has already been developed in Academy City, and technologies such as holographic projection have long reached the level of civilian use. What is in front of us is naturally not that kind of high-tech, but a mirror image created by using one's ability.

"It's not fake, some of it is real. You probably don't know where you are."

"Originally these were a few abandoned apartment buildings, but now they have temporarily become my territory."

A figure appeared from nowhere, a girl with a bun-like hair and a discipline committee armband walked out from the corner, with an ice mask of magical girl Kanami on her face.

It seems like he is stealing the bell from my own ears. A little investigation will tell you who he is.

The Tokiwadai school uniform and the discipline committee armband on his shoulder had already exposed his identity, but Natsume always liked to do some inexplicable things.

Maybe some girl with a bun feels that wearing a mask gives her a sense of security.

The water vapor concentration here is not very high, so it is impossible to create the kind of fog that can completely interfere with the opponent's ability, but Natsume-san has other alternatives.

For example, using tiny ice prisms and light refraction to achieve a mirage-like effect.

The user of the space system ability named Aoki Yuzuki needs a three-second interval to move himself.

Although his shock therapy was effective, he was not sure that he could subdue the opponent within three seconds. In fact, as long as he forced himself to endure the feeling of suffocation and covered his mouth and nose as soon as possible, he could effectively avoid it.

As long as Natsume's hot air has not formed a certain scale in the human body, it will not cause the human body to go into shock instantly.

Ordinary people, even those who have undergone a certain level of training, would not be able to react in time, but this is not necessarily the case for high-level people with practical experience.

Since the development of shock therapy, Natsume has suffered failure on many people many times.

The senior who hunted tigers with bows and arrows last time and the boy wearing strange goggles both reacted immediately.

However, even a person with a great lung capacity cannot withstand the relentless pursuit of a guy with a bun on his head.

With this move, plus invisibility and flight, Natsume can easily deal with a fully armed modern army.

After saying so much, Aoki Yui is now facing a very embarrassing situation.

That is, the vision she used to judge the surrounding objects failed. Since she could not distinguish the authenticity of things, she could not determine the accuracy of the coordinates.

In this situation, even moving herself became impossible, and she couldn't guarantee where she would move to.

"Who are you?"

Aoki Yui's companion couldn't help but take a step back and said with a serious expression, as if he was frightened by the strange scene around him.

As soon as he finished speaking, his muscles began to bulge, and he looked like a user with physically enhanced abilities.

The deterrent power of a certain guy with a bun seems to be greater than expected. His short stature alone makes a group of big guys afraid to come forward.

"The girl was knocked to death by the clamp. I am arresting you for robbery and intentional assault."

The girl wearing the pale ice mask spoke calmly, uttering Shirai-san's usual lines, and raised her head slightly, appearing exceptionally quiet.

He imitated the movement of a certain space and pulled the shield armband on his right shoulder, declaring the legitimacy of law enforcement.

Although it was a very normal action, Natsume Sonoko, hiding behind the mask, felt inexplicably ashamed. Her personality was still very different from that of Shirai.

There is no strong sense of justice that is always followed through, but one wants to do something that he thinks is right.

Although Natsume is a little confused about what true justice is, he still has his own way of judging that kind of thing.

Chapter 242: One-hit-kill method

Academy City is still as peaceful as ever today.

Whistling, a vehicle transporting goods passed by slowly on the avenue. The driver couldn't help but rub his eyes and found that at the end of his vision, there were layers of confusing light and shadows, followed by an overwhelming and deafening sound.

The driver didn't dare to delay and quickly stepped on the accelerator to leave.

The Tenth District has the only cemetery in Academy City. Although it is a science city, it is still a bit scary.

In a world shrouded by illusory images, Aoki Yui put the box containing the remains of the tree diagram designer behind her, holding a military flashlight in one hand and the other hand trembling slightly.

The companions around Aoki Yui looked at each other, and then nodded at Aoki Yui.

In a very short period of time, the eight people began to disperse, not only to help Atsushi Yuuki find out the authenticity of the surrounding scene, but also to distract the attackers.

They also noticed that this discipline committee member who suddenly appeared here was very restrained.

However, this suicide squad-like charge did not produce very good results. Less than a moment after they rushed out, they encountered a fierce counterattack. To be precise, all eight people ran headfirst into the wall.

At the same time, a big hole suddenly appeared on the ground. Since it was impossible to determine the coordinates of the surrounding objects, the simplest thing to do was to use the soil under your feet.

Aoki Yuuki can move other objects much faster than she can move herself, and she doesn't have any psychological problems.

The soil under his feet suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was like a curtain falling in front of Natsume's eyes, blocking the two people's eye contact.

But these muds are not the main means of fighting. The cork opener in Aoki Yuuki's school uniform pocket, the sharp needle with barbs directly pierced into Natsume's abdomen.

It's not a real person, just an illusion like those buildings.

When she saw the cork opener fall to the ground, Aoki Yui's brain reacted immediately.

He took advantage of the gap in the falling mud and started running wildly, in a direction that the eight companions had not chosen before, but he also crashed into a solid object, and the suitcases in his hands fell to the side due to the impact.

Rubbing his forehead, Aoki Yui gritted his teeth, and his hands trembled more violently.

There is no exit, so the only way to move is to use coordinates.

However, under the current circumstances, even if the calculation is repeated a hundred times, the safety of the formula cannot be confirmed, and Aoki Yuuki's face suddenly turned pale.

"Want to use your spatial ability to transfer? However, there are not only buildings around, but also some ice walls I set up. The barrier range is larger than you think."

The phantom with a bun-like hair and wearing the mask of the magical girl Kanami reminded quietly.

Although Natsume-san seems to be staying here, no one can tell where he is actually.

Under the light controlled by Natsume Sonoko, the moisture in the air is not enough to create a fog layer covering a large area, but it can serve as a supplement for this abandoned apartment area.

In order to lead these people into the prepared area, Natsume stayed on the roof of their car for a while, and only took action when everything was ready.

Since Natsume had already learned some of the weaknesses of the person in front of him from Hatsuharu, he was prepared in advance.

If it can be called psychological trauma in the information, then it is definitely not easy to overcome. As long as Natsume puts some effort into it, he can increase the chances of catching this girl.

"Your attack is over, so it's my turn next."

Natsume Sonoko's voice was heard by the girl opposite. She didn't sound energetic as usual, but instead had a hint of anger in her voice.

This girl named Aoki Yuzuka is basically two different types of people from Natsume Sonoko.

She can mercilessly transmit sharp weapons into other people's bodies and is a violent woman who uses her abilities wantonly.

In Natsume's mind, he has placed the girl in front of him on the same level as the ANBU members, and his level of disgust is only second to that of the white-haired villain.

Natsume doesn't dare to underestimate such people, nor does he want to deal with them.

The biggest exception should be Archery Hunter Tiger Senior. Since they separated last time, Natsume has seen her several times in the school garden. The Shidaezakura Academy is not far from Tokiwadai.

But what bothered Natsume was that the senior student seemed to be actively avoiding him, even though he had done nothing.

Thinking of this, Natsume felt a little depressed.

"I don't care what you do with the remains of the tree diagram designer. If you leave Academy City honestly, maybe I will really be deceived by Misaka-senpai and won't interfere in this matter."

"But you did something in District 7 that made me angry, and that's why I'm here. I'm going to send you to where you should be."

Natsume-san's shadow continued to speak, still with that dumb look on his face.

"Seventh District? It's the discipline committee member who can teleport."

Aoki Yui took a few steps back and pressed her body against the invisible wall.

As she spoke, her mind was wrestling with whether or not to move herself.

But she couldn't make a decision, which made her mentally confused.

The kind of psychological trauma that could almost affect the mind, when she thought of the tragic situation that would occur after the miscalculation, Atsuki Yui's stomach felt sour.

"So you are the eighth one."

When she was studying at Kirigaoka Girls' College, she heard from a classmate who was a member of the school's discipline committee that a new eighth member had joined the discipline committee.

And this eighth one is rumored to have defeated that horrible monster.

Therefore, as soon as it appeared, its momentum overwhelmed many level 5s with weak presence, and even overwhelmed Tokiwadai's psychological control and the railgun.

Aoki Yuuki's pupils narrowed slightly, and the amplitude of the trembling of her hands became faster and faster. She suddenly felt a sense of panic in her heart, which had never appeared even when she faced the railgun.

What a joke! I just hit a discipline committee member and this kind of monster was attracted.

Natsume-san didn't continue to answer the person in front of him. He rarely spoke so much. Whether it was to attract her attention or for something else, it was almost enough now.

At this time, Natsume Sonoko, who was still standing motionless in the corner, seemed to have her body split apart. The originally small area was now densely filled with the shadow of a bun-head.

At first glance it looks quite scary, like seeing a ghost.

This move was not very effective against Accelerator. I remember he cracked it in an instant, but it was extremely effective against guys like Aoki Yuushi who needed to lock onto a target to attack.

The invisible wall behind him was touched by Aoki Yui, and then it was uprooted and smashed towards the countless phantoms in the air.

Since vision cannot distinguish whether the surrounding objects are real or fake, the simplest sense of touch is used to determine the coordinates.

At this time, the companions who had fallen to the ground stood up at the same time, pressed their bodies tightly against the invisible wall, and helped Aoki Yuuki confirm the coordinates.

The walls began to shatter in the air, hitting a large number of phantoms, but only a small part of them turned into nothingness due to the shattering of the prism. More and more phantoms have come to the side of Aoki Yui.

Sizzle~Sizzle~

There was a sound of electric current flashing in Aoki Yui's ears, and the corners of her eyes suddenly widened and even broke.

All I saw was a small white hand stretched out from the shadows all over the sky, holding a high-powered electric shock device.

Before leaving, Natsume Sonoko specially borrowed an electric shock device from her classmate Shigefuku Shoho.

Even though the opponent has psychological barriers, Natsume is still worried that the opponent will use the coordinate movement to escape regardless of the consequences, so he still uses the one-hit-kill method.

Using the electric shock device is much faster and simpler than Natsume's various methods.

There's nothing wrong with wearing a magical girl's mask and using a flat magic wand.

However, Shigefuku seemed very hesitant and blushed at that time, but when he saw Natsume Sonoko's determination, he still searched out from the corner.

This electric shock device actually has quite a story. The ex-boyfriend of Shigefuku, who was thrown into the trash can by Natsume, has a lot to say about it.

As the electric current spread throughout her body, Aoki Yui's body was suddenly numbed, her eyes suddenly turned black and she passed out. Only then did the guy with the bun-head let go and took back the stun gun.

Immediately afterwards, a white fist hit Aoki Jiebiao's face hard, but it didn't seem to cause much damage. The slightly angry expression of a bun-head finally appeared on all the phantoms.

As if he still felt a little dissatisfied, the little hand holding the stun gun began to finish off Aoki Yui's accomplices one by one. After one round, only a few hundred Natsume classmates were left standing.

Chapter 243 Pretending Not to See

Just like a bubble being punctured, the false light and shadow buildings suddenly disappeared, and even the light from the street lamps seemed to be brighter.

The abandoned apartment area finally revealed its original appearance, with collapsed walls, load-bearing walls with exposed steel bars, and unconscious prisoners all over the ground.

The stun gun I borrowed from Shigefuku is more durable than I thought. Even after using it so many times, it still has almost one bar of power left.

Walking to the helpless Aoki Yui, Natsume Sonoko picked up the box containing the remains of the tree designer.

If you look closely, you can see a dispatch slip and the emblem of District 23 attached to it.

The destination of the delivery order was inside the school garden, a place called "Tokiwadai Junior High School Attached Calculation Support Facility", but Natsume had never heard of such a place inside the school garden.

And there is also the 23rd School District. Is it really something brought down from space?

Natsume-san seemed to be thinking about something, just standing there quietly, and all the phantoms looked at the box at the same time.

"If I don't speak, are you going to pretend you don't see me?"

The pale moonlight was not as white as his hair, and his skin had an eerie, crystal-clear feel, which was the effect of years of reflected light.

Because of the lack of pigment in the pupils, there is even a hint of blood-red light in the eyes.
