Temperature Control in Academy City

Is this a form of protection?

Don't let irrelevant people get involved, Natsume thought.

"I see. On this point, I trust Natsume-san very much."

With a barely perceptible smile on her face, this senior student knew very well what kind of person her junior student was.

Only after understanding a person's thinking pattern and code of conduct will the blonde girl choose that person as her partner. Even if a certain railgun has a special relationship with the Misaka sisters, because of the electromagnetic barrier that cannot detect their memories, they can only become the target of this senior sister's blame for the time being.

But it was obvious that the junior schoolmate in front of her met her requirements in many aspects.

The most important thing is the ability in optics, which is a great complement to the blonde girl.

The ubiquitous cameras and people with related abilities are one of the biggest obstacles to her actions.

"I'm very curious. Why did Natsume-san choose to join my plan so easily? Besides being worried about my sisters, did you also trust me?"

Suddenly talking about the past, the blonde senior asked with a smile.

She hasn't used her ability on Natsume for a long time. Unless she feels it is necessary, she will not pry into other people's privacy without any bottom line.

Just like Natsume, he doesn't use thermal sensing to spy on the lives of people in the student dormitory.

This senior also has her own rules for using her abilities and adheres to certain bottom lines, but when it comes to Natsume, this bottom line seems to be even higher.

“That’s indeed the reason.”

Natsume was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was indeed both.

If Shokuhou-senpai hadn't suddenly appeared, she should have been ready to capture the blond foreigner and his accomplices, after all, they were observing the Misaka sisters so furtively.

Natsume is a little sensitive about this kind of thing. People who lack a sense of security always like to exaggerate problems, especially since there was a wreckage incident not long ago.

Chapter 324 Witnesses

Come to think of it, Natsume-san is probably the third person to know about Shokuhou-senpai's plan.

Natsume lowered his head and thought, recalling the scene when he met Shokuhou-senpai at Futaba Trading Company.

However, as the secret weapon mentioned by the senior, Natsume only knows this much, and in fact, it has not played any role at all.

He was carrying out his own plan of waiting and waiting, and was in a completely confused state.

Also, due to the lack of contact with this blonde girl, I have no idea about the progress of Shokuhou-senpai and the others recently.

"Shokuhou-senpai, are you saying that there is another mysterious force that is secretly protecting the sisters?"

The communication between the two lv5s is still going on, but we should be able to get there before Natsume-san's first game.

Although Natsume doesn't like the Daihasesai Festival very much, he is surprisingly responsible.

With a slight surprise on her face, Natsume learned some unexpected things from this senior.

As if influenced by some Hollywood movies, Natsume set up a small vacuum area around them to prevent their voices from escaping and being recorded by a flying camera that suddenly passed by.

"That's right. As long as someone takes the initiative to investigate the sisters' traces, whether through the Internet or satellites, or even by sending personnel to search, as long as the investigation is in the middle of the process, the information will definitely be lost. Even for a period of time, the sisters' traces were completely covered up."

Shokuhou-senpai walked to a corner of the waiting area nearby, followed by a girl with a bun.

Both of them involuntarily looked towards the oath-taking platform more than ten meters away. Sogiita Junba had no awareness of having ruined the opening ceremony and sat on the five-meter-high oath-taking platform with a somewhat bored look on his face.

As if noticing the two people's gazes, Sogiita Gunha immediately showed his white teeth, smiled brightly and touched the back of his head.

Natsume waved to the young man in a familiar manner. She quite liked such simple people.

"Yeah, it seems to be true. There are almost no posts about sisters on the Internet now."

The topic continued. Natsume held his chin and thought for a while, then he said with sudden realization.

It turns out that there is an unknown mysterious power or force around the Misaka sisters, protecting them from certain harm.

Could it be done by the ghost-chasing doctor from the underworld?

After all, the sisters who stayed in Academy City were all undergoing cell adjustments at his place, so Natsume immediately thought of a real-life version of Quata.

By the way, Natsume is still a researcher under that doctor, and the institute's ID is still stuffed in his dormitory box.

"If that's the case, then how did Shokuhou-senpai find the Misaka sisters?"

"Is it that blond foreigner?"

Thinking of something, Natsume asked curiously.

The foreigner named Kaiz left a deep impression on Natsume.

"I did look for the security director of the Absolute Ability Project, but I didn't come to look for my sisters. In other words, I knew where my sisters were from the beginning."

A faint smile appeared on Shokuhou-senpai's face, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

This was clearly what Natsume-san asked me to do, but now it seems that I have forgotten everything.

"Hey, really?"

Natsume is having trouble understanding what's going on. It seems like her memory isn't much better than Sogiita Gunba's.

However, Natsume was a little concerned. It turned out that the blond foreigner was the safety supervisor of the experiment.

"It was Natsume who asked me to modify the sisters' memories. As long as I read their memories, I will know their locations."

Shokuhou-senpai adjusted her white gloves a little, and paid more attention to the girl in front of her.

Shokuhou-senpai had come into contact with the younger sisters a long time ago, probably back to the time when someone asked her to modify the memories of her younger sisters.

Also, because there is some unknown relationship between Shokuhou-senpai and her younger sisters, from that day on, she has been particularly concerned about the fate of her younger sisters.

"I see."

Natsume suddenly understood something.

"Come to think of it, Natsume-san did so many things secretly, it's really impressive."

Shokuhou-senpai showed a beautiful smile on her face and reached out to gently rub Natsume-san's head.

I don't know why, but it seems that many people like to rub Natsume's head.

"However, the efforts made by that mysterious force have been ineffective in some aspects."

"The ANBU organization called 'Personnel' has actually found the approximate area where my sisters are located many times. To make up for this, I attacked their bases many times and cleared the collected data, and on the other hand, I modified the memories of their members to delay time."

Shokuhou-senpai's expression suddenly turned serious.

Attacking the opponent's base is not only to hinder the opponent's actions, but also to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.

Since the other party issued false orders to the Anbu personnel through an intermediary, then investigating the intermediary named Jingce Kandou is naturally the key, and she has probably already found out some information.

“Why did it fail?”

Natsume-san murmured quietly,

"Because of the witnesses."

"Hey, Misaka-chan and the others have indeed been going out quite a lot recently."

After a slight pause, Natsume-san said with some concern.

Although a large number of sisters were scattered around the world, the number of sisters left in Academy City was only a dozen or so of the total number, but there were still more than 600 of them, which was also an exaggerated number.

Originally, most of these Misaka sisters would be sent to Academy City assistance agencies around the world, and no more than a hundred would stay in Academy City.

It’s just that because Academy City has built a large number of behemoth-like ocean monitoring devices all over the world, some of the auxiliary agencies have changed their original purposes and no longer have the function of cell adjustment.

Although the number is not large, it has also resulted in Academy City having to undertake more adjustment tasks.

The arrangement of cell debugging is also very tight. In the hospital of the underworld soul-chasing, there are sisters receiving treatment almost all the time.

Also because of the large number of people, in addition to the two houses in Misaka Apartment, we also applied for a dormitory building in the seventh school district.

The apartments that Natsume chose are relatively old, there are no large-scale dormitory areas nearby, and the dormitory building he applied for is even a completely independent area.

In addition, the Misaka sisters do not go out in groups, and they stay near their residence when their cells are not adjusting.

But as long as someone passes through the corresponding area, the probability of being witnessed is still very high.

Chapter 325: Sleep Peacefully

Things became a little confusing.

It seems that the game between the two sides is focused on the daily lives of the Misaka sisters.

As long as the sisters reduce all kinds of outdoor activities, the situation will develop in a direction that is favorable to Natsume and the others.

Once the sisters plan to go out for an outing or something, the problem suddenly becomes serious.

Indeed, I should find an opportunity to lock all my sisters in their rooms and demonstrate my authority as the dorm supervisor.

Although he is always timid in his own student dormitory, Natsume also has his moments of strong power.

"In order to suppress the sightings to a lower level and avoid causing a wide-ranging impact, I modified the nearby residents' perception of the sisters so that they would not behave in any unusual manner even if they saw them."

"Most of the eyewitness incidents that are spread are from passers-by or drivers with high mobility. This is unavoidable. Even ordinary social behaviors can transmit this information, mainly including some online social software."

Shokuhou-senpai said with a headache.

In order to take care of these things and protect her sisters' personal privacy, she lost several pounds during that period and even increased her exercise volume to the level of an ordinary junior high school student.

This ordinary junior high school student's level is roughly that of a girl with a bun.

"Hey, Shokuhou-senpai, you've modified the memories of so many people."

His eyes suddenly widened, and Natsume felt that the blonde girl in front of him was still as powerful as ever.

As both of them are people with super powers, Shokuhou-senpai’s current calculation ability is definitely better than that of Maruko-san, after all, her age is there.

Modifying perceptions is roughly equivalent to implanting some special suggestion in the brain, making them think that sisters are just a normal part of life.

As an ordinary first-year student in Tokiwadai, Natsume says that he is still too young.

The second-year seniors with super powers, one hacked into the network, and the other hacked into the brain, while they themselves looked ordinary and harmless.

However, for those with super powers, the surface rules of Academy City are no longer enough to constrain them. Only their inner bottom line and moral values ​​can tie them firmly to the light side.

The so-called moral values ​​of people with super powers are also different from those of ordinary people.

Natsume-san doesn't have any opinion on Shokuhou-senpai's modification of her cognition, because she did similar things and bullied all the bad boys in Academy City for her own reasons.

Abilities have become a part of their lives and are just tools to achieve their goals. However, Shokuhou-senpai's ability is too unfair and it is a little hard to accept.

And if he encounters a similar situation where his memory and cognition are modified, Natsume doesn't seem to have any good solution unless he can back up his memory.

Or he could use his own massive computing power to search for problems in his memory. As long as the memory or cognition had been modified, Natsume could find the problem through comparison.

However, the simplest way does exist, which is to borrow the right hand of senior Kamijou Touma.

Natsume had been touched by that right hand once before, so there was absolutely no problem with her memory.

"Yes, I was exhausted."

"As you know, Natsume-san, that area is so large, and you have to climb the stairs. I am quite good in terms of physical fitness, but I am not as good as Hokaze and Misaka-san."

A smile appeared on her face, and the blonde senior also noticed the change in Natsume's expression.

At first, Natsume was a little afraid of her because of her abilities, but after becoming friends and getting to know each other, communication became very easy.

Maybe this is the same feeling.

"I think Shokuhou-senpai should attend physical education classes more often. It's not good for your health if you keep skipping classes."

The blonde senior's words seemed to have a lot of flaws, and Natsume muttered something in a low voice.

In the entire Tokiwadai Junior High School, Natsume’s sports performance is only impressive in front of this senior.

A girl with a bun-like hair thought that if it was a 1,000-meter race, she would probably be able to leave Shokuhou-senpai behind by a whole lap even without using her ability.

"Physical education class. I will pay attention next time."

Shokuhou-senpai couldn't help but lift her chin and responded somewhat awkwardly.

Ignoring the gradually bulging belly of a certain senior schoolmate, the communication between the two level 5s continued.

"Although the mysterious power is very strong, it is impossible to completely erase all information. So as long as the witnesses leave a few words on the social software, even if it is not widely spread, the approximate location of the sisters can still be retrieved through powerful computers."
