Temperature Control in Academy City

"Some things may not be able to be changed now, but that doesn't mean they will be the same in the future. If we want to change everyone's situation and stop innocent people from getting hurt, it's far from enough to rely on Misaka-senpai alone. We need everyone's help at least."

Natsume said softly, her tone was always so light and fluttery, which made it lack some persuasiveness.

"If one day our situation can be slightly changed, maybe we can find a way to let Shirai-san become the chairman of Academy City. If it is Shirai-san, according to her personality, many unfair things will be changed."

Natsume-san said somewhat whimsically that bragging doesn't cost any money anyway, and the most important thing is to comfort Misaka-senpai.

A trace of thought immediately emerged on her face, and she inexplicably thought that it would be very interesting to see Shirai-san busy in a meeting in a women's suit.

As if infected by Natsume Sonoko, Misaka-senpai's depressed look was also affected, and a little spirit appeared on her face.

The saying "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" is actually not accurate, as it separates rights and obligations.

In fact, the greater the ability, the higher the status, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

It is too fantastic to rely on ordinary students to change the dark side of Academy City. Even if they have the power to destroy Academy City, they are just uncontrollable factors that people should be wary of.

Natsume is very clear about this, which is why he feels helpless, but some things are changing after all.

Misaka-senpai, Shokuhou-senpai, Natsume-san herself, and even many more people who have felt the dark side hope that this change will happen.

As long as there is this hope, Academy City will slowly change from a testing ground for keeping people with special abilities into a city that truly belongs to students. This is what Natsume really wants in his heart.

In that case, Natsume-san's life will be much better.

The two girls on the updraft looked like they were taking a nap.

However, considering the smoke not far away and the strange behavior of the girls, it was clear that this was unlikely.

Lingzi bought some ointment and clothes from a nearby store that was still open.

Natsume Sonoko was very considerate and specially chose clothes with Guata patterns for her senior in an attempt to cheer her up.

Although it is a product of a future competitor of my company, my senior schoolmate likes it very much.

I don't know when the concept of competitor appeared in Natsume's mind.

Fortunately, Reiko and Natsume had some change on them, so it was enough to save some unnecessary trouble.

As for the ointment, it was just some commonly used ointment for treating burns. Natsume didn't know how effective it was, so he simply bought the cheapest one, a product of Higuchi Pharmaceutical, a pharmaceutical giant in Academy City.

The sun broke through the clouds, and everything was bright.

The haze caused by the absolute ability user has dissipated, leaving only some battle debris left not far away.

Sitting on the raised edge of the building's rooftop, Misaka-senpai was helping a girl with a bun-like hairstyle apply ointment with red eyes.

Natsume Sonoko had a dazed look on her face, and it was obvious that she had taken refuge on Zero's body.

Even though the pain was much weakened, it was still consuming the computing power of someone's brain and straining their body.

After a while, he ran back dejectedly, allowing his brain and body to rest properly.

"Don't move, this place hasn't been painted yet."

Senior Misaka recovered a little bit of her spirit and focused her attention completely on a girl with a bun, half-squatting and carefully applying the ointment to various wounds.

This kind of emergency treatment should have been done long ago, but I didn't have the time until now. I don't know if it will leave scars, which will make it ugly when wearing summer school uniforms.

Given Academy City's medical standards, this possibility should be very low.

Natsume is a girl who can't stand the pain, with a grin on her face and no ladylike appearance.

He looked at his right arm with a bitter face, then collapsed to the ground, motionless, allowing Misaka-senpai to do whatever he wanted. He had to bear the consequences of his risky behavior.

Come on, let the storm come even harder, Natsume Sonoko thought silently in her heart.

However, Natsume Sonoko's mind was not always on the things in front of her. She was thinking about something equally important.

No one knows where Shokuhou-senpai is right now, but she has already locked onto Kihara Gensei's location, and he's currently staying near the battlefield collecting some data.

"Yuanzi, it's healed now. But the effect of the ointment is very limited, so you still need to go to the hospital for treatment."

After initially treating the wound, Senior Misaka spoke to herself, lowering her head to rub her junior's bun.

The originally fair and smooth skin has turned into this.

Just like Kuroko, Natsume was also injured because of his own affairs, which made Misaka-senpai, who was barely cheering up, look very guilty.

There was a bang.

Natsume's hairband broke with a sound, and a head of broken hair covered someone's face, and the two pairs of eyes looked at each other inexplicably.

"What happened to Shokuhou? Sonoko, do you have any clues?"

Misaka-senpai put down the ointment in her hand and spoke.

Although the relationship with Shokuhou Misaki is difficult to describe, we must find Shokuhou Misaki now.

Now that she has figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, Misaka-senpai knows that the blond girl was implicated by herself, but she just doesn't know what happened to her, which led to her mental control ability being taken away.

"I don't know. Now we can only find Kihara Gensei first."

Shaking her head with disheveled hair, Natsume Sonoko said helplessly.

She originally wanted to use the force field phase to track down Shokuhou-senpai's traces, but she found that she had no idea about the senior's aim force field information and characteristics, so she naturally had no way to track her.

An idea suddenly came to her mind. She would record the aim diffusion fields of some ability users from time to time in the future. Perhaps it would be easier for her to find people.

This method of finding people is a bit like the Anbu girl we met last time. I didn’t expect that Natsume now has similar methods. This is undoubtedly very good news.

Although it is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I need to slowly search the entire force field phase, there is a possibility of finding it after all.

However, after applying the ointment, a stream of cool air flowed into the skin, slightly relieving the pain and making Natsume look better.

In this incident, dealing with Kihara Gensei and rescuing Shokuhou-senpai are equally important, but they are not as urgent as Misaka-senpai.

In Natsume Sonoko's view, rescuing Misaka-senpai was only half of the mission, and she couldn't relax yet. Fortunately, Misaka-senpai joined the battle team.

Chapter 377 Robot

Even though there are no clear clues for the time being, Natsume thinks it is not very difficult to find Shokuhou-senpai.

There is no shortage of ways to find people in Academy City. The second-year senior sister in her club has the ability to see the past.

From the perspective of finding things alone, he can be called the little Sherlock Holmes of Academy City.

This ability once played a big role in helping me find a bicycle. At present, the bicycle is spending its twilight years in the small garden of the student dormitory. From time to time, the warden orders me to clean it thoroughly because of the accumulation of dust.

Now, if you ask for help, with Natsume Sonoko's status as the mascot of the club, it will be easy to ask that senior for help.

Speaking of her own lazy club, Natsume is still just slacking off. Every month she gets some funds for club activities, which she always spends on some weird things.

But there is one prerequisite that needs to be remembered, that is, Kihara Gensei must be dealt with first.

In Natsume Sonoko's opinion, after solving Kihara Gensei's problem, other problems would basically have been solved at the same time.

Kihara Gensei is the biggest problematic character in this incident, and Misaka-senpai's problem is actually just an extension of it in a certain sense.

However, what concerns Natsume more is that she inexplicably feels that she cannot deal with Kihara Gensei. This premonition is getting stronger and stronger and has turned into some kind of inexplicable intuition.

This is not a modest statement. Although Kihara Gensheng's position has been mastered by himself, after all, that person knows most of his details, and he seems to be loaded with many targeted ability plug-ins.

Coupled with that kind of super-large-scale psychological control, even if Natsume-san is prepared to avoid the frontal attack and implement a sneak attack tactic, he still doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

Unless she can take the time to develop her new perceptions, make up for some of her shortcomings, and become someone who seems to have no obvious weaknesses.

The people with super powers are undoubtedly top-notch among all the students in Academy City, but when this scope is expanded to Academy City itself, they seem particularly powerless. No one knows how many cards those guys who control the lifeblood of the city have.

The drive armor that is powerful enough to suppress ordinary ability users can be used as cannon fodder by a small Anbu organization. Unmanned armed helicopters like the Six Feathers are just conventional combat power. She would not be surprised even if a super combat machine that can fire super-electromagnetic cannons was deployed.

In this very realistic situation, it is actually very difficult for Natsume Sonoko to guarantee that she can defeat Kihara Gensei, even though the old man looks weak.

However, there was one thing that made Natsume particularly confused, and he wondered if something went wrong.

From the beginning to the end, Natsume's ability could not affect the human body, not even if the thermal perception was extended into it.

In other words, many people who need to draw power from the environment cannot get direct feedback from the human body.

For example, the fourth one, Atomic Disintegration. If she can extend her ability to the human body and manipulate the atoms in the human body to de-electrify, then she will be simply invincible, and Natsume will have to take a detour when he sees her.

This must be related to human beings themselves. Perhaps everyone has a soul just like ourselves, and the soul can effectively prevent the invasion of other people's personal reality.

This is the most reasonable explanation that Natsume Sonoko has thought of during this period.

Similarly, this is one of the reasons why Natsume has always regarded his sisters as normal human beings.

There is no doubt that the sisters are real human beings.

However, there are often some abilities that can affect the human body and even control humans.

This does not mean that personal reality has really broken through the limitations that may exist in the human body, but it is more like a regular invasion based on what reality allows.

According to Natsume's understanding, even Shokuhou-senpai needs to use brain waves or something else as a medium. Accelerator's body surface reflex can ignore the senior's ability, which means that psychological control does not directly act on the human body.

For example, both Shirai-san and that bad girl named Aoki Yuzuki can insert steel needles into the human body.

However, according to the principle of space movement, the users of these space systems need to break away from the three-dimensional space and then take a detour through the eleven-dimensional space, perhaps thereby avoiding the protection of the soul.

Of course, the spirit of exploration is worth encouraging, but none of them have undergone any scientific and rigorous verification. Natsume is just looking for some cases around him.

But one thing is certain, Natsume cannot extend her abilities into the human body, so for her, the image of the human body is a vacuum in her brain.

Natsume-san had already perfected his radar map a long time ago, or to be more precise, the vacuum-thermal dual-sensing radar.

But something was very strange about Kihara Gensei.

Natsume remembered that he had scanned the location where Kihara Gensei had appeared before, and not only was there no heat, but there was also no human body vacuum phenomenon as expected, and it was automatically ignored by the radar map.

"Could it be that Kihara Gensei is a robot, like the Terminator in the movie?"

Natsume couldn't help but feel a chill and thought of a Hollywood blockbuster he had seen.

This situation is obviously very likely to happen. After all, this is Academy City, and it might really be possible to give robots their own will.

Or maybe I didn't observe carefully just now. Kihara Gensei is not a robot. He just has some mechanical prosthetics and still has human parts on his body.

But if prosthetic limbs are added, the problem seems to be even greater. It can be ignored by radar maps. There is no doubt that the whole body has been modified. So is Kihara Gensei still a human being?

Thinking of this, Natsume's heart began to beat fast.

In any case, this person is too dangerous and scary in every way.

"Yuanzi, your complexion suddenly turned worse. Is your injury getting worse?"

He was wearing a green quat casual suit and ordinary jeans, and was walking barefoot on the dry ground, but due to the metal inside the building, he was actually floating slightly above the ground.

At this time, Misaka-senpai's condition was also very bad, but it was still better than Natsume-san. After a short rest, she recovered from her previous weak state.

"It's okay, I'm just worried about something."

Shaking his head, Natsume said softly that the ointment was still very effective.

Natsume Sonoko also got used to her senior schoolmate calling her that, although she didn't like being addressed too intimately.

"Misaka-senpai, I know a second-year senior whose abilities may be able to help find Shokuhou-senpai."

Natsume-san had just opened his mouth when he noticed that the senior in front of him seemed to have thought of something and fell into a state of quiet thought.

"Shokuhou Misaki can't possibly avoid all the cameras, so there must be some clues. And there are still nanorobots on her body. The signals of this kind of robot are easy to identify, so maybe we can make a signal receiver."

Misaka-senpai murmured.

She can also act as a receiver, but the electromagnetic waves around her are too many and too dense, and the signal strength is not high, so it is more convenient to make a receiver to receive the signal.

As long as the station is high enough and the receiving area is large enough, it is possible to receive signals from most of the Seventh School District.

The cleaning robots that can be found everywhere in Academy City are very good materials. You can refer to satellite dishes for specific production methods.

Chapter 378: Zero's Changes

Misaka-senpai's idea of ​​making a receiver similar to a satellite dish to receive nanorobot signals sounds great.

Miss Bun-hair, who lacked knowledge in this area, only had a vague understanding of it, but out of trust in her senior schoolmate, she nodded repeatedly in cooperation.

Although I don't understand the specific details, I always feel that it is feasible, at least in principle.

If we can use this method to confirm Shokuhou-senpai's location, it will be much more convenient than asking Maeda-senpai from the club for help.
