Temperature Control in Academy City

"Hey, Senior looks very confident."

Glancing at that red face, Natsume couldn't help but think hesitantly.

Now that Misaka-senpai has her own ideas, she no longer insists on her own ideas.

She had never doubted the senior's attainments in electromagnetism; this was an inherent impression she had gained from long-term contact with her.

In fact, Natsume rarely acts in a strong manner. Instead, he is very good at listening to other people's ideas. In other words, he is a bit introverted.

Although she likes to write letters of opinion or express her own views, she will not get angry or care about it even if she is rejected by others. This is why many people are willing to make friends with her.

Of course, there is the exception of a certain discipline committee member who always likes to deliberately piss her off.

As the gentle breeze touched her skin, Natsume's long black hair swayed naturally, confusing her two eyes that had basically returned to normal.

Even though there was a hint of gunpowder in the air, the smell of the free shampoo provided by the Tokiwadai student dormitory was unavoidable.

Natsume basically no longer spends extra money on the things that are already in his student dormitory, which can be regarded as a good virtue of thrift and diligence, and he can save a considerable amount of money every month.

The injury was temporarily healed, and the pain in the body was still intense, but it eventually subsided.

After only staying on the rooftop for about five minutes, Natsume's physical strength and calculation ability recovered a little.

After discussing the current situation with Misaka-senpai, and telling her about Kihara Gensei's abnormality, both girls couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.

Just as Natsume-san thought, this incident has not yet come to an end.

When they first came into formal contact with Kihara Gensei, the three-man group from Tokiwadai were almost wiped out. The lesson from the past was still clear before them, and the only one who had some resistance was Natsume Sonoko herself.

Therefore, before dealing with Kihara Gensei, Misaka-senpai must not show up in front of him. The Misaka network is still in a clustered state and may connect to Misaka-senpai again at any time.

"Misaka-senpai, we need to split up..."

Natsume Sonoko was just about to say something to her senior when she suddenly felt a source of heat in her head.

She stared blankly at the rooftop of another building a hundred meters away. A familiar girl arrived at the scene in a wheelchair, with a dark green shield armband clearly visible on her shoulder.

The rooftops of these buildings were like platforms for people to rest, giving a young discipline committee member who was injured and might have problems using her abilities a little time to rest.

In fact, when people with spatial mobility are traveling, they prefer high-altitude environments with few obstacles. This not only reduces the risk of hitting the wall, but also reduces the degree of attention.

After all, the discipline committee members are not idols or stars, and increased exposure is actually a dangerous thing.

Natsume really doesn't like her appearance on TV or in school flyers, as it makes her feel insecure.

In just a blink of an eye, the wheelchair and the girl disappeared, gorgeously ignoring the Natsume and Sonoko trio who had been hidden in the dark and obscured by light and shadow.

"It's Shirai-san."

Natsume's brain had already reacted, but his body was a beat slower. By the time he excitedly explained to Misaka-senpai, the figure had already moved away.

"We must contact Shirai-san first."

The two looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds.

Kihara Gensei is still nearby, and his all-pervasive psychological control may attack Shirai at any time. Natsume Sonoko and the others don't believe that Kihara Gensei hasn't thoroughly investigated the people around them before.

And with Accelerator also around, there is a possibility of some unexpected conflicts among the three parties.

But on the side, Miss Lingzi, who was lying on the rising air current with her chin supported by her hands, was curiously observing the every move of the two strange girls.

Misaka-senpai's eyes occasionally fell on Reiko. Although she didn't know much about Reiko, she knew that this was the headless monster covered in muscles.

After losing the active control of Natsume Sonoko, Reiko has now returned to her original state, with an innocent look on her face and her mouth wide open, as if explaining the fact that she is hungry.

"I don't have anything on me. Once I finish dealing with things here, I'll buy octopus balls for Reiko." This is Natsume's voice.

As if he realized the meaning of opening his mouth, Natsume quickly reacted and touched his pocket embarrassedly.

The only thing that could be considered food before, a trial pack of Smart One potion, had been thrown away long ago.

However, Natsume Sonoko then widened her eyes slightly, because as soon as she finished speaking, Lingzi nodded thoughtfully, as if recalling the taste of octopus balls.

It seemed that Lingzi could understand some of what she said, which made Natsume Sonoko a little dazed.

She also found similar changes in the state of consciousness communication, but they were not as obvious as they were in reality.

It has only been two months since the day of birth. Has Lingzi's growth been influenced by himself? I don't know whether this is good or bad for Lingzi.

In fact, Reiko's brain and body are developing normally. With the intervention of teacher Haruo Kiyama, he has retained some regenerative abilities from his original body. His health is even better than Natsume himself. What he lacks is just time to recognize the world.

It’s just that Natsume seems to have brought this time forward, and long-term contact has instilled a lot of strange ideas in him.

"We need to start reducing our interference with Zero."

She made a silent decision in her heart, thinking to herself that she might be a bad example for other kids.

However, there is one thing that made Natsume recall again, that is, the issue of Reiko's identity has not been resolved.

This is also very important, as it determines whether Zero can live a normal life in Academy City.

At the same time, some tiny electric currents invaded the network inside the building, and an email was quickly sent to Shirai's mobile phone.

With a cry of surprise, a space mobile suddenly disappeared from its original place before reaching a building closest to the battlefield.

Chapter 379 Octopus

Gululu.

The wheelchair came into close contact with the ground, producing a crisp sound from the wheels squeezing together and a slight friction sound.

Almost hit by an empty wheelchair that appeared out of nowhere, Natsume Sonoko glared at the discipline committee member who had entered her invisible coverage area without any hesitation, but the person ignored her.

In addition to simply hiding herself, Natsume Sonoko can also change the light and shadow phenomena in an area, and even create false illusions. However, these light and shadow changes are only for the outside of the area, and it will still be normal after entering it.

"sister!"

The screaming shouts bombarded Natsume's ears like noise, greatly increasing the risk of exposure for several people.

Before Natsume could express his dissatisfaction, he saw a pair of brown ponytails swaying in the air current.

A happy expression appeared on his face, and the fiercely beating heart made his skin look healthy.

Shirai-san concealed her worry very well, and with a quick teleportation she hugged Misaka-senpai's neck from the front, even abandoning the wheelchair and throwing it aside.

Some joint techniques she learned from the discipline committee training allowed her to maintain sufficient balance, clinging to Misaka-senpai like an octopus.

His elder sister disappeared after the afternoon game, and even her phone could not be reached. Not long after, an important asset of the board of directors suffered a rare electric shock.

However, what worried her the most was the news that a person with special abilities had gone berserk in the Seventh School District.

The reason why it is suspected is that the scale of the rampage alone has exceeded the limit that a person with super powers can achieve.

Although people with super powers are strong, they are not so strong as this.

In addition, the previous electronic storm destroyed most of the electronic equipment within a certain range nearby, and Kihara Gensei also triggered a round of ultra-large-scale psychological control. No substantial information about the accident has been leaked for the time being, resulting in the outside world still being in a state of partial understanding.

Unless someone involved or a lucky passerby comes forward to tell their story, most people will still regard this incident as just another experimental accident caused by Academy City.

In fact, without the official endorsement of Academy City, it would most likely become one of the many urban legends of Academy City.

Urban legends are actually statements based on real events and are not groundless.

However, for Shirai, as long as there is a one percent chance, she will still be worried. Fortunately, she saw her elder sister was safe and sound.

"Heizi, why are you here? Your injuries haven't healed yet, you should rest well now."

When someone suddenly jumped into her arms, Misaka-senpai immediately reacted and said with great concern.

At the same time, some embarrassment and awkwardness emerged on her face, and she subconsciously pressed her hands forward, trying to interrupt her schoolmate's overly enthusiastic behavior.

Really, it's like this again and again.

As if she had noticed Natsume's strange gaze and Reiko's curious face, Miss A Certain Scientific Railgun could only smile even more difficultly.

But it was not a good idea to use 100,000 volts, slam dunks, elbow strikes and back shoulder throws on a wounded man, so he could only try to suppress his emotions.

Ever since Shirai was seriously injured, Miss A Certain Scientific Railgun has become much gentler and more controlled in temper, causing this strange girl with a head full of perverted thoughts to become even more outrageous.

However, Misaka-senpai's patience can probably only last until her injuries are healed, and Shirai's electrical resistance attribute can still be further enhanced.

I don't know how many volts of voltage Shirai-san can withstand without changing her expression.

"The noise here was so loud that everyone was scared. Some competitions scheduled nearby were temporarily cancelled."

"Because of the Daiha Star Festival, the security guards of District 7 were tied up by many sudden cases, resulting in a temporary lack of manpower for evacuation and incident resolution. I came here to see if I can help."

Ignoring the girl's extreme behavior and the fact that she was forcibly hanging on someone else, Shirai Kuroko's face showed an extremely solemn expression. After thinking for a moment, he said very seriously.

Although the security department has issued her some harsh formal notices, including but not limited to asking her to stay away from these dangerous incidents.

But now is undoubtedly a special situation. As a flexible and independent-minded person, Shirai resolutely decided to fill the brief gap caused by the shortage of security guards, and at the same time forced a certain pitiful garland girl to continue to provide her with remote support.

Regardless of whether Misaka Mikoto is the protagonist of this incident, Shirai-san will come to help.

The girl who is full of sense of justice and responsibility is so energetic. Although she has been ordered to be 'grounded', it still cannot stop her enthusiasm.

"terribly sorry."

"I know Shirai-san is not in good health, and I tried to stop her, but I was worried that something would happen that I would regret. After all..."

Shirai Kuroko's headset was remotely controlled, and the outward amplification function was turned on. Hatsuharu's weak voice came from the other side, but it stopped abruptly at the last few words.

After the suspected incident of the person with special abilities going berserk, abnormalities could be detected even from several kilometers away. Not only could they not contact Misaka-senpai, but even Natsume-san lost contact as well.

This immediately pulled Hatsuharu and the others away from the joy of the Daihastari Festival, and they could no longer calmly immerse themselves in the celebration.

Hatsuharu's personality is even softer than Natsume's, which makes her easy to persuade. The same thing happened the last time she met Aoki Yuuki.

But in fact, faced with many dilemmas, Hatsuharu always agreed with Shirai's decisions.

Having been partners for such a long time, they already knew what kind of person each other was, and they had a better understanding of each other than they had imagined.

On the other side of the headset were the duo from Zhachuan Middle School who were sweating anxiously under the shade of a tree in a street park.

Saten-san is constantly collecting information circulating there, but unfortunately the time is too short to be of any use.

Hatsuharu, on the other hand, was holding a handheld computer, guiding Shirai-san while trying to find a satellite in a suitable position to take pictures of the scene.

But at this moment, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, their efforts finally paid off.

Great, everyone is okay.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Shifting her gaze from Misaka-senpai, Shirai Kuroko finally noticed a girl in the same grade with disheveled hair and a dissatisfied look on her face, and her expression changed instantly.

I just felt my body suddenly lighten, and a human-shaped counterweight disappeared from Misaka-senpai's body, and then appeared next to Natsume-san.

"This is the ointment provided by the Discipline Committee."

Taking out the small bag she was carrying, Shirai found a tube of ointment and handed it over.

Although he knew very well that the girl in front of him also had a copy, if he thought about it a little, he could guess that he had no idea where she had thrown it.

Chapter 380 Coincidence

The ointments provided by the Discipline Committee members were all made by the Ghost Chaser Doctor of the Underworld, and the effects were much better than the bottle he bought.

Staring at her right arm, Natsume Sonoko blinked with some curiosity. The red and swollen skin showed signs of peeling, and even the blisters were visibly shrinking.

Although my burns have not been completely healed, they basically do not affect my normal movements.

This ointment should also be derived from some people with physical abilities. It is simple and convenient to use. The originally obvious stinging pain was almost gone in no time.

"It can treat most external injuries, and should also be useful for injuries like burns and frostbite."

Ms. Shirai explained quietly at the side, with no unusual expression on her face, but her mood level plummeted.

At first, she was overwhelmed by the joy of finding her elder sister, causing her to neglect some important things for a moment.

This place is not far from the area where the suspected ability user's rampage occurred, only a few hundred meters away. Now we have learned that Natsume Sonoko was injured, and it was obviously caused by her own ability.

And the clothes on my elder sister, she was clearly wearing sportswear before.

All this information combined doesn't reveal much, but my elder sister and the others were definitely involved in the incident that just happened.

Shirai-san seemed to be hesitant to speak, and his expression was somewhat dazed.

She had long known that her elder sister was hiding something from her. She had already obtained some intelligence, but more information was still being concealed.
