Temperature Control in Academy City

"Where are you touching!" A blaster fell from the sky and killed a lv4 kid with one punch.

What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you free? Can you come to save us?

Natsume Sonoko looked at the devastated scene in front of her, which looked like it had been devastated by a disaster. Something insignificant came to her mind, but her eyes were fixed on the humanoid monster that was standing there and seemed to be a little paralyzed.

Moved? The arm began to rise again.

The monster was hit in the chest by the electromagnetic cannon, which directly tore the nearby skin and a large amount of intact flesh and blood, exposing the stone in its chest once again.

This scene made Natsume Sonoko feel a little numb, and she felt like she was back in the biology class.

But even so, it seemed to have only returned the monster to its previous state, and it was not considered to have been defeated at all.

After a while, the monster started moving again. The reason why it was slow to move was probably because the powerful electric current attached to the railgun hindered its movement.

"Misaka-senpai, is that monster still moving?" Natsume Sonoko was a little anxious at this time, and hurriedly shouted to Misaka-senpai.

The monster resumed its movement. Since it had no mouth, it would have roared.

The monsters moved extremely fast, and could cover a distance of dozens of meters in just a few steps. Shirai and Misaka-senpai moved through space repeatedly, and only then did they escape from another wave of attacks from the monsters.

Looking at the monster getting closer and closer, a certain Natsume Sonoko finally remembered something. A large number of ice cones condensed in the air and attacked the approaching monster like dense rain of bullets.

Crackling ice cones fell from the sky, hitting the monster like raindrops, turning it into another ice hedgehog.

It only hindered the opponent for a few seconds. As the flesh and blood gradually recovered, ice cones fell from the monster's body, as if tickling it.

Natsume Sonoko, who was a little unconvinced, used the most inhumane attack in the legend, the high temperature shock method, which suddenly raised the temperature around the monster to a level that ordinary people could not bear.

Moreover, as the temperature rises, the air around us becomes gradually thinner. It is a completely different kind of altitude sickness. Most people would probably faint immediately.

Even if one is a person with special abilities, if there is a lack of oxygen and high temperatures, there will not be enough oxygen supplied to the brain and the ability will not be used normally.

The monster was also affected by the high temperature and its movements began to slow down. It seems that this monster actually has a brain.

However, the recovery speed of its flesh and blood was not affected at all, and the high temperature still had no effect on its body.

“It actually worked.”

Shirai appeared next to Natsume Sonoko and looked at her with some surprise. She didn't expect that this guy's ability was so useful.

However, the monster showed unusual wisdom at this time and began to run away from Natsume Sonoko's control.

At this moment, a dazzling orange-yellow light appeared in the air again and hit the monster that was staggering forward. The monster was thrown out directly under the huge impact force and fell far away on a nearby street.

The stone on the humanoid monster's chest was exposed again. This time, almost half of the stone was exposed to the air. Under the huge impact force, the stone almost fell off the monster's body.

"Let me send you to hell all at once." Several girls who had been spying on the roof for a long time finally showed up. The girl named Mai Ye Shenli looked down at the monster, her fluffy brown hair fluttering.

Countless luminous pure white balls suddenly appeared next to Mugino Shenli, shooting countless beam lines towards the humanoid monster on the ground at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye. It was not just a flash of youth, but the bright light shooting continued for a long time. for a few seconds.

When the light faded, the intact monster on the ground had disappeared, leaving only a strange stone with some flesh and blood cells attached to it. This stone was still surprisingly hard, and so many attacks could not destroy it.

The blood and flesh cells on the stone still had not lost their activity and continued to recover at an extremely fast speed. Before long, a large amount of tissue had grown to cover the entire stone again.

"How disgusting! What on earth is this thing?" Franda said to the stone with disgust.

"You can think of it as a supercomputer, and these biological tissues are its keyboard and mouse. In order to get the keyboard and mouse, Academy City spent a lot of effort." Mai Ye Shenli explained, speaking with confidence.

"And in order to prevent this computer from being turned on at will, I heard that the brain is also incomplete."

At this moment, a huge air wave suddenly rolled up from the ground. The air wave was accompanied by huge pressure, which rolled up the sand and rocks around it, making it impossible for people to open their eyes and see anything.

Several people who were directly hit by the air wave were blown back by the huge pressure and finally managed to stabilize their bodies.

A woman in a white coat, with a haggard face and obviously lack of sleep, appeared out of nowhere, and then suddenly disappeared the next second holding the stone.

"Space movement?"

"No, there is also wind control."

"Actually, there is also optical invisibility." Takitsubo Rikou said silently.

"Takitsubo, can you track down this esper?!"

Mai Ye Shen Li was so angry that he grabbed a few handfuls of hair, and asked Takitsubo Rihou who was standing beside him, with a furious look on his face, "Don't let him catch her."

"It's very strange. The AIM diffusion field of the person just now was very messy, but it seemed as if there was no AIM diffusion field at all. Similarly, the AIM force field on the monster was also problematic. It was intermittent and I couldn't capture the complete force field."

Takitsubo Rikou frowned slightly and said in confusion.

"Damn it, damn it."

"Mugi, let's go, there are security guards coming over there."

"Damn it, damn it."

...

In an office, a woman in a white coat, looking a little dusty, suddenly appeared in the office, her eyes shining with an inexplicable light.

The flesh and blood on the stone continued to grow, and soon it returned to its original tall appearance, but at this time it stood quietly in the same place, without any movement.

"Raise your hands."

Following the order from the woman in white, the monster in front of him raised his hand obediently.

"The brain was deliberately castrated so that it had no ability to think and calculate, which led to the brain waves being replaced by the Illusionary Hand in an instant."

Today is a good day for Haruo Kiyama.

Since the Fantasy Hand is connected via the AIM diffusion field, it can convert other people's brain waves into its own brain waves, thus achieving the effect of using other people's brains for calculations.

Since we can use other people's brains for calculations, we also have the ability to interfere with their behavior to a certain extent.

At first, the monster gained the ability to think with the help of someone else's brain and went crazy for a moment, but was later controlled by Mushan.

Kimura Haruo was busy in the office researching ways to revive students, but before he had time to think, a special ultra-high performance computer was inexplicably delivered to him.

"I need to study it carefully." As if he saw some hope, Kimura Haruo's face became more and more anxious.

Chapter 46 It’s so noisy outside

An unknown office in the AIM Analysis Institute.

Haruo Kiyama, an expert in brain physiology who specializes in brain physiology and aim diffusion fields, has locked himself in his office for three days.

Even though there is food and water in the office, this kind of long-term and high-intensity research is not something that ordinary people can endure.

But at this moment, even though his eyes were red, there was still some inexplicable joy on Kimura Haruo's face, and he was in a state of extreme excitement.

"The limit of this stone's calculation is actually one-third of the normal state of the tree diagram designer."

The tree diagram designer is a supercomputer on board the artificial satellite "Vega 1", nominally used only to detect and analyze the meteorological data of Academy City.

"Don't you have enough authority? This is really a special experimental product buried deep underground."

I tried to find some information about this stone in the internal network of researchers, but in the end I only found a few news photos that could be seen everywhere. I could only confirm that these stones came from an extraterrestrial meteorite, and there was obviously some difference in size between the two.

"It is an extremely strong stone that can easily withstand the attacks of the railgun and atomic collapse. However, there are traces of cutting around it. I don't know what divided it into several pieces."

"The surface can automatically receive and feedback bioelectric signals, but the requirements for biological cells are extremely demanding. The calculation ability of the stone can greatly enhance the regeneration ability of the monster, but the change of the monster's aim field is also inseparable from the calculation of this stone. The aim field is changing almost every minute."

"It's possible that the new cells created by the monster's regenerative ability caused the stone's calculations to change, thus causing the aim field to change."

"It is speculated that the abilities displayed by the monster will change with the new cells that are regenerated, but it has not evolved to the point where it can go beyond regeneration."

"Even without human control over the stone's computational power, the monster's instinct alone would allow it to achieve almost uninterrupted regeneration."

Haruo Kiyama silently studied the strange meteorite in front of him, cut a big hole in the monster's chest, and used a water jet to peel off the monster's skin.

"By touching the stone with your palm, you can suppress the monster's recovery ability. At the same time, you can also use the meteorite's calculations to develop its abilities, but the cost is the rapid death of biological tissue."

Taking a look at the large areas of necrotic skin cells on his palm, Kimura Haruo ignored the pain and tried again to use the Fantasy Hand to invade the monster's brain.

Since the monster's aim field will change, it needs to be readjusted every once in a while, but as long as you don't attack the monster in any form, the change of the aim field will become very slow.

....Ordinary dividing line....

"In other words, Natsume was at the scene of the gas explosion a few days ago?" Wannei asked with some concern, his eyes full of curiosity.

Wanbin Aobu standing by also smiled faintly as he listened to Natsume Sonoko telling him about what happened a few days ago.

"It wasn't a gas explosion. It was a secret experiment in Academy City. A monster that big appeared at the time. If I hadn't been so agile, I would probably be in the hospital right now."

Natsume Sonoko gestured vigorously in the air twice and said as she recalled the monster's huge body.

"Is it true? That's really scary." Student Wanbin Aobu said a little worriedly, as if he was putting himself in Natsume Sonoko's words.

"It's a secret experiment. It's really not safe outside recently." Wannei replied with the same feeling.

"But don't worry. The monster was hit by Misaka-senpai's railgun. The final scene was extremely tragic and disgusting."

Natsume Sonoko said seriously. Although she didn't dare to see the monster in the end, just listening to other people's descriptions made her scalp tingle.

Natsume Sonoko, who thinks she knows all the truth, is discussing what happened a few days ago with her classmates. She seems a little dissatisfied with the reports in the online news that deliberately conceal the truth.

The students Wannai and Paofu beside her were both good listeners and listened carefully to Natsume Sonoko's story.

As time passed, Wannai's classmates all left, leaving only Natsume Sonoko sitting in the classroom doing her homework.

Today I planned to spend ten minutes to finish the homework assigned by the teacher. Because Natsume Sonoko was too serious in class today, she even forgot to find time to complete the after-class exercises.

As a professional who is good at time management, not using class time to complete assignments is undoubtedly a huge mistake.

Just as Natsume Sonoko was writing furiously, the cell phone in her schoolbag suddenly vibrated.

Casually putting down her homework and textbook, Natsume Sonoko opened her cell phone and saw that it was another message from Shigefuku Shoho.

Mr. Shigefuku Shoho was taken away by the security guards after the last eyebrow incident, but it has been more than a week now, so the punishment should be over by now.

In fact, punishment means criticism and education, plus volunteer activities or something like that.

To be honest, she didn't have a very good impression of Shigefuku Shoho, and he was not at all worrying.

Natsume Sonoko really wants to say, can you be as mature as me?

However, as Shigefu Shengfan kept sending messages to someone, the two of them became inexplicably familiar with each other.

[Natsume-san, have you eaten? ]

It seems that Shigefuku Shoho sent a meaningless text message, but if you look through the previous chat records, this sentence was basically sent by Natsume, which made Shigefuku Shoho think that this was a special etiquette in Natsume Sonoko's hometown.

[I ate it. I had a nutritious lunch specially prepared by Tsuchimikado-san. He even added an egg for me.]

I remembered that at lunch today, Tsuchimikado-san specially prepared a special meal for himself, and Natsume Sonoko showed a proud look on her face. Isn't it great? I have connections in the cafeteria.

[I just heard that there was a gas explosion in the seventh school district. Is Natsume-san okay? ]

There was some concern in Shigefukusho's words, and he seemed to care about Natsume's safety.

[Nothing happened, and Shigefuku-san should not blindly believe the reports from Academy City. There may be some shocking secrets hidden in them.]

Natsume Sonoko answered with a hint of meaning, but Shigefuku Shoho obviously didn't understand what Natsume meant.

[Count it up, Shigefuku Shoho, your punishment time is almost up.] Natsume Sonoko thought for a moment and sent a text message.

[Yes, it’s just these few days. Although it’s been hard, it’s still a fulfilling life. ]

[When you come out, I will take you to revenge]

【? ? ? ? 】

...

Putting down the phone silently, Natsume Sonoko suddenly remembered the lofty ambitions she had made before.

Words spoken are like water spilled. As long as you still remember them, you must do them, Natsume Sonoko thought silently.

Sitting at the desk, Natsume Sonoko finished the rest of her homework in no time and then contentedly put it into her black schoolbag. However, what made her a little concerned was that it seemed to be quite noisy outside.

"She's the queen of Tokiwadai."

"There are only seven people with super powers in Academy City, and the fifth one is Psychological Control."

"By the way, why did Shokuhou-senpai cause such a big fuss today?" Natsume Sonoko looked a little strange sitting in her position.

On weekdays, this Shokuhou-senpai is also very popular, but most of the Tokiwadai students are used to it. Even Natsume Sonoko has seen her from a distance more than a dozen times.

It's just that this senior sister's ability inexplicably makes people care about her. Psychological control sounds much more useful than her own temperature control. She can read minds and control others.

Natsume Sonoko's secret is a bit explosive, but fortunately it all remains in her soul. Even when retrieving related memories, the brain will not actively remember anything. After all, they belong to two different systems. The only similarity is that they both use the word "think" to retrieve memories.
