Temperature Control in Academy City

She is the captain of the Black Crows, and in addition to being the private soldiers of the Stargate Society, the Black Crows are also an intervention force recognized by Academy City to resolve civil conflicts.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shatora drew out the tactical dagger from her waist and stabbed the enemy in front of her.

Her opponent was a tall adult male wearing a cloak, his eyes covered by a black eye patch, and he was also wearing another style of combat uniform.

His body was so soft that it seemed as if he had no bones. He bent backwards 90 degrees to avoid the oncoming knife. Then he exerted force with his legs and jumped backwards in a strange posture, directly retreating dozens of meters.

"Captain, we found a lot of explosives around us."

The security officer who came to report had just finished speaking when a man with a black eye mask pressed himself against the wall, holding up a device similar to a detonator in his hand, but he did not detonate it.

At some point, Senior Misaka had come behind this person, and under the influence of the strong magnetic force, there seemed to be some problems with the internal parts of the entire device.

The next second, strong electric light was released from Misaka-senpai's body.

Even though the combat uniforms were made of insulating materials, the insulating materials also have a limited pressure resistance. In just a moment, the pressure exceeded the endurance limit of the high-tech combat uniforms. The electronic devices on the combat uniforms were destroyed in an instant, and some of their functions became ineffective.

“Damn it, what on earth are you going to do to Alyssa?”

Senior Misaka is very measured in her attacks. The extremely high voltage can defeat the enemy in an instant, but the tiny current will not cause serious damage to the person.

Although the strong voltage destroyed the opponent's combat uniform, his body did not fall down. He just staggered twice and stood up again.

“The feeling is, this guy is a robot.”

Misaka-senpai's face became strange, and as the electric current entered the other person's body, she could clearly feel the difference in the other person.

It has a similar structure to humans, with body temperature and heartbeat, but it is made of various metals.

But if it was just a robot, Misaka-senpai's electric shock could easily destroy its internal structure, but the robot would still continue to move unaffected.

At the moment when Misaka-senpai hesitated, the robot man threw the detonation button in his hand forcefully, and then moved towards the exit without looking back.

Just when he was about to reach the exit, his body began to shake violently and uncontrollably, and the strong wind pressure prevented him from moving forward at all.

At this time, a wheelchair also fell from the sky. With a slight touch of the palm, the wheelchair was instantly moved to the ground and kept in close contact with the ground.

The dozens of meters long steel nails in his hands were spread all over his body in a rice seedling planting manner, fixing him firmly in place.

After struggling for a while, the robot man became quiet, lowered his head and began to lie motionless, as if he had been remotely shut down by someone.

Hot flames immediately burst out of his body, and the whole person melted into a pile of iron slag in just a few seconds.

At this time, in the headquarters building of the Star Track Gate Society.

"It failed. Do we need to arrange another experiment?"

The Gothic beauty girl president paused for a moment, lowered her head and began to think.

There is a miraculous power in Minghu Alisa, which protected 88 passengers of the "Orion" who were doomed to die three years ago and brought them back safely.

Therefore, in order to verify once again whether this miraculous power can only be exerted when Alyssa sings, she specially set up a bomb at the press conference as a final rehearsal for her plan.

In fact, the Black Crow Force that existed at that time was also a part of her plan, responsible for protecting Minghu Alyssa, but it unexpectedly became an obstacle that hindered her.

Chapter 272 Immortality

In the dimly lit office, there are many old things that have nothing to do with technology.

Ancient wall clocks, tall sculptures of people and horses, and exotic hollow background walls...

Looking outside along the hollow background wall, you can see large and small gears connected to each other turning continuously, as if returning to the steam age of the past.

An old-fashioned desk lamp is placed right above the desk, with an old-fashioned phonograph nearby, and a holographic projection device that seems a bit out of place.

This office can be called an antique collection room, but the owner of these antiques is even older than these antiques.

According to rumors, Letili Tanglod, who was only ten years old, was sitting on her desk in a trance, her fingers sliding on the holographic projection.

"It seems like he died just like that."

Letili was mumbling something, and her expression became lonely.

Why can everyone die, but she has to live in this world for a long time?

The immortality that others longed for, somehow became a burden for this girl whose real age was extremely old.

All the people and things I loved died, familiar eras came to an end one after another, and I was the only one left alive.

Immortal, even his appearance has not changed.

Although he looks only ten years old, he has lived in this world for more than eight hundred years.

"But wait till tomorrow, everything will be over."

Thinking of this, Letili's mood improved involuntarily. She hadn't felt such urgency for a long time.

However, the only pity was that his automatic puppet, a combat weapon created by combining the powers of magic and technology, had to activate the self-destruction program.

Walking to the window sill, she looked ahead at the huge space elevator 'Endymion' that towered into the sky.

A magic circle that was powerful enough to blow up the entire northern hemisphere was installed on the elevator that led to the universe, and to activate this magic circle, a sufficiently powerful "gear" was needed to operate it.

This gear is Alisa Naruto, a girl who was born with the help of a miracle on the 'Orion' three years ago. She possesses incredible magical powers and triggered the so-called 'Miracle of 88'.

"This kind of thing is totally useless."

Suddenly, a wooden bow was thrown to the ground, and Letili's face suddenly became expressionless.

It looks like just an ordinary wooden bow, but it carries a powerful force that is enough to temporarily shatter the body of the "Son of God" and prevent it from recovering.

At least that's what one guy said, and he explained that it was modeled after a famous bow in ancient legend.

According to the speculation of an unreliable guy, what Letili swallowed were most likely two teeth of a powerful "Son of God", which cursed her to gain the ability of immortality, rather than some ordinary fairy fruit or immortality potion.

So, fourteen years ago, Natsume planned to completely smash Letili's body and two teeth, and use his rich experience in classification to separate Letili. Then, fourteen years ago, Natsume could legitimately own the two teeth.

Although it is called separation, the means are actually more inclined towards purification, or perhaps mixed with means such as resilience, which can return everything to its original form.

It sounds similar to Kamijou-senpai's ability, but they are two completely different things.

I heard from that person that if you draw the bow in a certain way, anything shot out of this bow will be able to destroy everything.

But this bow has gathered enough power to destroy the body of the Son of God, but someone with the power of separation has disappeared.

Not only did it disappear, but even its specific usage was not left behind, making the bow only a decorative item.

Standing up, Letili walked over to the wooden bow, picked it up again, and placed it on her desk.

...

All visitors to the shopping mall must leave until all bombs are cleared.

They were evacuated again by the security teacher, and the cordon was extended fifty meters away from the shopping mall.

Standing outside the cordon and saying goodbye to Hanakaiin, Natsume's mind was still filled with the strange thing that had suddenly burned to ashes.

Fortunately, in Academy City, there are all kinds of strange and weird things, just like the snacks sold in supermarkets, so it’s not surprising to see them no matter how many there are.

But it is worrying that the other party's target is Senior Minghu.

How should I put it? Although I find it troublesome, I won’t pretend that I didn’t see anything.

Silently throwing the drink bottle in his hand to the white cylinder, Natsume, who was holding a cheering headlamp in his hand, couldn't help but look at Senior Minghu in the middle of the team a few more times.

No matter how you think about it, what else is different about this senior schoolmate besides her good singing?

Counting the last attack, this is almost the second time.

"Come to think of it, were those people here to protect Minghu-senpai?"

From a distance, they could see members who called themselves the Black Crows negotiating with the security guards, so Hatsuharu asked with some concern.

Even if that company really likes Alyssa, it is impossible for them to send so many people to protect a singer who has only signed a contract for one performance.

This made Hatsuharu feel very strange, and she felt that this company seemed to know some inside information about the attack on Alyssa.

"I find it strange too. They sent so many people to protect Alyssa. There must be something wrong with that company." Saten nodded and said.

"But what exactly is different about Naruto-senpai? Perhaps if we understand this, we can know the other party's purpose."

Sitting in a wheelchair, Shirai rested his chin on his hand, thinking, with the camera in his hand.

"I have no memory of what happened three years ago. Even my name was given to me by the orphanage, so apart from singing, I basically have nothing that truly belongs to me."

The footsteps suddenly stopped, and a trace of reminiscence appeared on Minghu Alyssa's face, and she was a little dazed.

"Maybe something happened three years ago that I don't know about. I'm sorry to have involved everyone."

There was a hint of apology on her originally optimistic face, and Senior Minghu lowered her head slightly and her tone couldn't help but be low.

After waiting for a long time and no one spoke to her, Senior Sister Minghu looked up and found that everyone was discussing something.

"Maybe we should start with the 'Orion' three years ago." Natsume suggested seriously.

"I think it should be related to the Star Gate Club. There must be something wrong with that Gothic loli beautiful girl president." Saten looked very serious.

"In fact, the most important thing right now should be tomorrow's opening ceremony. Since they sent security personnel, it means that the company cares a lot about tomorrow's opening ceremony performance."

"I don't know what will happen tomorrow."

At this time, Misaka-senpai, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

Chapter 273: Superior Performance

Taking the space elevator, you can directly leave the surface of the earth and then watch the various wonders of the universe up close.

Natsume was looking forward to this feeling, as an ace pilot himself occasionally dreamed of becoming an astronaut.

And if something unexpected happens in outer space, even Natsume will be doomed.

Even if the gas around you is fixed to prevent yourself from suffocating, since there is no atmosphere in the universe, gravity becomes a centripetal force revolving around the earth.

So Natsume-san will be suspended in outer space like the space garbage that can be found everywhere.

However, he would not die immediately in a short period of time, and perhaps he could hold on until Academy City launches a rescue shuttle.

With many things in his mind, Natsume couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

"Probably not. After all, there will be at least several thousand people in this elevator tomorrow."

Natsume Sonoko muttered softly, but her voice became lower and lower as she spoke.

My number has already reached over 5,000 people, and the number of people participating in the opening ceremony tomorrow will at least exceed this number.

But if the incident happened in Academy City, it is possible that many people would be affected.

"That thing couldn't have been loaded with a lot of explosives, right?"

At the current location, you can still see the huge elevator standing upright.

Natsume's thoughts began to diverge, and he did not hesitate to use his imagination in combination with the situation he had just encountered in the shopping mall.

"It's unlikely. Academy City has been conducting comprehensive inspections these days, and together with the security forces of the Star Track Gate Society, no one is allowed to approach with explosive items."

I don't know when Chuchun had taken out a handheld computer, and various information about the space elevator flashed across it quickly.

"Come to think of it, I have heard of an urban legend."

Saten-san rested her chin on a finger.

"Look, doesn't this space elevator look a lot like the legendary Tower of Babel? Just like in myths and legends, once that tower is repaired, something terrible will definitely happen. Maybe it will be the crisis of the destruction of Academy City."

Saten-san always has a wide range of sources of information, he said solemnly.

Natsume Sonoko blinked blankly, obviously having never heard of it.

Although Natsume Sonoko and Saten are using the same website, there seems to be a huge gap in the amount of information between the two sides.

"The Tower of Babel?"

Senior Misaka nodded. She seemed to have heard of similar myths and legends.

The Tower of Babel is also called the Tower of Babel. Ancient humans united to build a tall tower that could reach the sky, but the tower was never completed.

Instead, Natsume was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something.

Natsume's thinking is always very unconventional, and often it can help me find some key clues.

"Perhaps this cosmic elevator has something to do with magic."

Natsume's mind was a little confused, but at least he had grasped something and couldn't help but think.

Because a certain girl with a bun had more exposure to magic, she thought about more things than everyone else.
