Temperature Control in Academy City

Fortunately, Natsume is not an ordinary person. He walks with his head held high, breathing evenly, and his bun sways rhythmically with his steps. He is not at all timid as he was when he first faced this guy.

If you can't avoid it, face it head on.

"It's the dorm supervisor," Misaka Misaka's eyes lit up and she was ready to throw herself into the dorm supervisor's arms at any time. Misaka Misaka looked at the man proudly and said without hesitation.

Last Order trotted over, and her palm passed through Natsume's head, as if it penetrated the omnipresent air, immediately attracting a disdainful gaze from a certain white-haired person.

"Huh? I thought you'd improved a bit, but you still look the same. You really can't expect too much from a hothouse lady like Tokiwadai."

Accelerator's tone was very impolite, or maybe he has always been like this. He didn't even show leniency to little Misaka, and he kept calling her a brat every day.

This bad personality seems to be in line with Natsume's view of him, and he is worthy of being the most popular person in the special ability mutual aid forum.

Regarding the popularity of the website, when Natsume-san became the eighth, he surpassed Accelerator for a time, but after a while it fell to an average level again. However, there are endless posts about forming a team to cause trouble for Accelerator's home.

"Hello, my name is Natsume Sonoko, and I'm a first-year student at Tokiwadai."

Natsume looked at the depressed Last Order with an apologetic look, and then spoke.

She tried to breathe in the air, and the light and shadow and the main body became serious at the same time. This was a little different from ordinary making friends, and she had some indescribable complicated feelings in her heart.

Strictly speaking, Natsume and the number one in Academy City never seemed to have any formal communication. After all, they usually planned to take a detour when they saw each other.

This time things are a little different. If Accelerator is really persuaded by Misaka to help, Natsume Sonoko can't really ignore him.

"Hey, you don't think I'm here to play some friendship games with you, do you, No. 8?"

"Now tell me what you know, and then I will take care of the guy behind the scenes. I don't want to waste too much time here. I'm not interested in who you are."

Accelerator narrowed his eyes slightly and said impatiently.

The girls who are still under the wings of the school and have not really seen the dark side of Academy City just like to do some show-like things.

We are all so familiar with each other, aren't we?

However, his eyes did catch the Smart No. 1 trial package in Yuanzi Guangying's hand, and his eyelids twitched silently twice, without any comment.

"I'm not interested in who you are."

Natsume retorted bluntly, and the inexplicable prejudice once again surged into her head. She really hated this man, especially when he spoke.

At this time, Natsume-student in the distance took out his cell phone and made a call, while Guangying was also very open about it and did not hide the fact that he was calling someone.

If the Tokiwadai trio were to gather together, at least they would not lose to Accelerator in terms of momentum. Moreover, they have a clear division of labor and rich experience, and can be called the ace team of Academy City.

However, Natsume is not sure whether Shokuhou-senpai's ability will work on Accelerator, and is a little curious about it.

"It's Sonoko, I think I know what's going on, Accelerator? I'll be right back."

A familiar female voice spoke on the other end of the phone, but her tone was a little indifferent.

Her eyes were empty and the stars in them disappeared. Shokuhou Misaki's body became dirty again. There were some scars on her face and her arms were bent inward unnaturally, obviously broken.

Shokuhou Misaki stood blankly in the liquid metal production factory, staring blankly at a skinny figure in front of her, as if she didn't feel the pain in her arm at all.

The strongest psychological system ability user in Academy City seems to be in a state of being controlled by someone.

Shokuhou Misaki's psychological control is the pinnacle of this ability system, but all people with this ability have a common shortcoming that is difficult to conceal.

As long as the body suffers unbearable pain, causing the brain to be unable to use its abilities, or causing direct damage to the brain, then the superpowers standing at the top of Academy City will be like ordinary people, unable to resist.

In addition, most non-flesh-based ability users are physically weak and have little defense. As long as you work on this point, most normal superpower users can deal with them.

"It looks like your guess was successful. The liquid metal you left behind really attracted the fifth person. But it's a pity that the juvenile reformatory didn't capture her."

"Some of the liquid metal evaporated, causing me to be unable to control the puppet any longer. Ultimately, it's because of the poor quality of the factory's products."

There was a strange mechanical sound coming from my ears, and the human appearance faded away, turning into a pure liquid metal puppet standing next to the skinny figure. This was the user with the ability of "Liquid Figure". Watch out.

The ability of Jingce Kanzu has a huge disadvantage, that is, the volume and size of the liquid metal must be the same as the person with the ability, otherwise it will become extremely difficult to control and cannot be used in combat. This is also the reason why he decisively left the battlefield at that time.

As for being able to successfully ambush Shokuhou Misaki, it was actually a calculation in itself.

There are still nanorobots on Shokuhou Sosei's body, but the signal is incomplete because a large number of robots were destroyed. It is still relatively obvious in open areas, but it is intermittent in the city. The positioning information is intermittent and easily affected by the environment.

Shokuhou Misaki seemed to know this, so she had prepared to wander around to attract the attention of people like Kihara Gensei.

Although it was difficult to accurately find Shokuhou Sosei's location through nanorobots, the liquid metal left in front of Shokuhou-senpai was a very conspicuous clue at that time.

There are very few manufacturers that can produce these metal liquids, and only this one is still surviving under authorization, so it is not difficult to guess Shokuhou Misaki's whereabouts.

The skinny figure was naturally Kihara Gensei. He put his hands behind his back and crushed the last small metal ball that was emitting high-frequency noise with his feet. The surrounding environment finally became quiet.

These small metal balls were prepared by Shokuhou Sosei to deal with the metal puppets, but they seemed to have no effect as she was ambushed by Kihara Gensei who was hiding in the dark.

Her arm was broken the instant she was attacked, and the intense pain caused her mind to collapse. Caught off guard, Shokuhou Sosei was unable to continue using her abilities.

He was easily controlled by Kihara Gensei, who had obtained a substitute brain at some point and also possessed the ability to control minds.

"I don't feel sorry about it. Being able to gain temporary control of the exo-brain without facing psychological control is the most important thing. Fortunately, everything went smoothly."

"As for the fifth one itself, after mastering the restriction removal password, its role has become less."

The body in the white coat was extremely old, and he was hunched over like an ordinary old man. Kihara Gensei's eyes were narrowed into a thin line, and there was something indescribable in his eyes.

While using the aim jammer to trap the fifth psychic master and then letting "Dead Knot" and "Alertness" attack, this elder of Academy City had already taken advantage of this time to step into a building equipped with an external surrogate computer.

Even if a certain psychological controller tried desperately to cover up the existence of this building, as long as it exists, there will be traces. Not to mention Kihara Gensei, who has mastered a large number of Academy City experimental projects and secrets.

However, registering and logging into the external computer is a very troublesome task.

Or maybe a certain blonde senior deliberately made the registration very cumbersome and impossible to succeed in a short period of time in order to ensure her absolute control, and the restriction password is a must to get rid of these cumbersome processes.

However, Kihara Gensei did not use this conventional method. Instead, he first used the Fantasy Hand to adjust the brain waves of the external brain to be consistent with his own.

Shokuhou-senpai's brain waves are the same as the external brain. The external brain is actually the hypertrophy of her removed cerebral cortex. The change in brain waves is equivalent to borrowing Shokuhou-senpai's GM number, and she can't log in yet.

Chapter 355 Guiding Evolution

The external brain is just a useful ability-amplifying device for Shokuhou Misaki, because their abilities come from the same source.

For other people with or without abilities, owning an external brain account means that within the scope of its capabilities, they can use psychological control intensively without having a corresponding personal reality.

However, there is a huge difference between registering an account and occupying someone else's account with the help of the Fantasy Hand. At least in the current situation, Kihara Gensei needs to endure the huge side effects of the Fantasy Hand at all times.

If you have an account of your own, the impact on your brain will remain at an acceptable level. Most importantly, only this state can stimulate more power from the external brain.

"The restriction on the password is correct. The external computer can now be registered."

"It was really hard work. In order to prevent the fifth person from discovering that the external brain had been taken away, I held back until the moment of action to completely change the usage rights."

Kihara Gensei's skin was dark and loose, and his old face seemed to have seen through everything in the world, but his calm tone carried a hint of indescribable fanaticism.

"As for the locations of those mass-produced ability users, I already know them. The Fifth and the Underworld Chaser have gone to great lengths to hide them, but I don't have the energy to keep playing hide-and-seek. It's enough to just catch the Fifth and read her memory."

Kihara Gensei showed a satisfied smile.

Shokuhou Misaki thought her actions were very secretive, but from the very beginning, Kihara Gensei had set his sights on her and was planning to seize her external brain, so it would be strange if he didn't notice the problem.

After successfully capturing the fifth one, many problems were no longer problems. This is why they dealt with Shokuhou Misaki first.

"Finally, there is some good news. But I am having a headache now. The first monster actually intervened in this matter. This is completely unexpected."

The metal puppet beside him sighed, and his aura seemed to weaken a bit. Even if he was confident, he was not arrogant enough to confront the number one head-on.

The few psychics in Tokiwadai are still barely within the plan, but can a monster like Accelerator really be defeated?

Oh, by the way, it seems that someone has already succeeded once.

“Accelerator, if it’s him…hahahaha, that’s even better, isn’t it?”

Kihara Gensei, with his hands behind his back, finally seemed unable to hold back his joy and revealed extreme joy on his face.

The tightly closed eyes finally revealed some gaps, revealing eyeballs that were completely different from those of ordinary people, with a strange metallic glow.

This kind of joy has nothing to do with worldly fame or fortune, or one's own safety. It's just an extreme desire for something, and one is willing to pay any price for it, a standard mad scientist attitude.

In Kihara Gensei's view, the significance of the existence of science is to forcibly guide human evolution.

And they, the pioneers, must drive the weak sheep to that new level.

All his actions are attempts to reach the true pinnacle of a person with special abilities, to become an absolute person with special abilities who can spy on the will of God in the form of a human.

"Hey, are you planning to change the candidate at the last minute? I won't agree to such a thing."

Although he knew that the guy in front of him was a truly shady character, Jingce Kandou still raised his objections without hesitation.

After all, she was the one who dared to launch a terrorist attack on the "building without doors and windows", and then she was taken to a juvenile reformatory.

But their real target this time is not Shokuhou Misaki and the ExoBrain, nor is it Misaka Network, but the third Misaka Mikoto.

"Haha, don't worry about that. Although Yi Fang can stably reach that level, he is not the best candidate for this experiment after all. Moreover, I am not stingy enough to restart the plan that has been abandoned."

Kihara Gensei lowered his head and said this, appearing to be very serious.

Even if one wants to forcibly guide Accelerator to evolve, using such a crude method is too wasteful, just like using diamonds to buy a bottle of drink. On the contrary, the value of the third digit is equivalent to the output of this experiment, which is a coin of equivalent value that can be accepted by a vending machine.

In other words, using Accelerator for this kind of experiment is too disadvantageous.

Moreover, when the designer of the tree diagram was alive, he had calculated all possible paths and naturally denied this possibility, making it impossible to send Accelerator, who has higher potential, to the level of an absolute ability user.

In addition, these designs targeting Misaka Mikoto will most likely not be effective against Accelerator.

In fact, Kihara Gensei did not expect that the third person could really become an absolute ability user. He was just recording the experimental data, just like the countless failed experiments before, except that this time he aimed at Misaka Mikoto.

"Accelerator has great strength, and with the Eighth, she may have hidden power that even the Chairman should be concerned about. Once she collides with the evolving Misaka Mikoto, it will inevitably stimulate more unknown powers of the Absolute Escort. This is an unprecedented observation opportunity, and all equipment and personnel must be mobilized to observe it."

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, and perhaps with the added interference of Kamijou Touma, the gains this time will be unprecedentedly huge."

The corners of his mouth involuntarily opened, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, and he kept talking to himself like a hysterical madman, and Kihara Gensei couldn't help but tremble all over.

Being able to observe the birth of an absolute ability person up close, with so many touchstones around, this opportunity is unique.

"No wonder you're so happy, but the most important thing right now is the Misaka Network. No matter what role Accelerator plays in your experiment, he is now standing between the clones and us. If we want to obtain the Misaka Network, we need to implant the virus into the clones first, and we will most likely have to face him directly."

Jingce Kanqu said with some impatience, and even the metal doll made the same expression.

There was a huge fire in her heart, filled with anger and dissatisfaction towards this city.

Kihara Gensei might be after some experimental data of an absolute ability user, but she is not like that. She is just seeking revenge, even at the cost of destroying Academy City.

The cooperation with Gensei Kihara is more like a mutual exploitation.

"You probably don't quite understand the function of the external brain. As long as we know the specific locations of those mass-produced ability users, the subsequent things will be a piece of cake."

Kihara Gensei shook his head, slowly took out a remote control from his pocket, and spoke slowly.

He didn't think Accelerator could stop him.

In order to refine his abilities, he chose a similar approach as Shokuhou Misaki, but he only needed one or two mental abilities.

As long as he stands at the right distance, he can remotely input his specially made virus into a certain Misaka without having to make direct contact with Accelerator and Natsume Sonoko, and then use the virus to indirectly control the entire Misaka network.

Chapter 356: The Second Absolute Ability Evolution Plan

After mini-Misaka, who served as the control center, was adopted, it became very troublesome to implant viruses or anything else into the Misaka network.

The only exception is memory. Even the most insignificant sister can upload and download memory files in the Misaka network at will.

Therefore, as long as the specially made virus is disguised as a piece of memory information, the Misaka network can be affected through any Misaka sister.

Misaka sisters have a weak version of the electromagnetic barrier on their bodies, and in order to accurately insert the virus memory into their brains and upload it at the same time, they naturally need the help of a sufficiently powerful psychological system user.

If feasibility and reliability are taken into consideration, then using an external brain is naturally the best choice.

However, the Misaka Network is ultimately only a part of Kihara Gensei's plan, and the implanted virus is only for the purpose of smoothly controlling the Misaka Network, and the ultimate goal is to connect the Misaka Network to Misaka Mikoto.

"Even if Misaka Mikoto is forcibly loaded with computing power far beyond her own, in order to induce Misaka Mikoto to evolve into an absolute ability user, we still need to do something extra."

Kihara Gensei smiled and looked at the somewhat quiet ally beside him.

He is not an ally chosen casually. In addition to his own ability to evade Shokuhou Misaki's psychological control, Jingce's understanding of this person's revenge plan can also play a great role in promoting the experiment.

Keisaku Kandou's revenge target has never changed. He is still preparing to launch a terrorist attack on the "windowless building", but this time the bomb has become the "absolute ability user" Misaka Mikoto.

"I don't need your reminder. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

The metal doll's movements became more serious, and then she nodded in cooperation. She naturally knew what Kihara Gensei was talking about.

Under normal circumstances, even if someone could manually use the huge computing power within the Misaka network, that would only be the surplus computing power after deducting the consumption of all the Misaka sisters.

After being implanted with the virus prepared by Kihara Gensei, all the Misaka sisters will fall into a state of freezing, and their brains will even become more active than usual, able to squeeze out more computing power.

At that time, the Misaka Network will operate at 120% efficiency, and the computing power it provides will reach an extremely terrifying level. This computing power will also become the nourishment for Misaka Mikoto's evolution.
