Temperature Control in Academy City

However, if one wants to reintegrate into the student management system of Academy City, or even rejoin the scholarship management system, the difficulty is no less than challenging the authority of the Board of Directors.

Not only do they need to forge a complete student resume, they also need to have records of monthly physical examinations, and their consumption records and scholarship transfer records also need to be forged.

After these conditions are met, they must be put into operation quietly in the various systems of Academy City.

However, it is feasible to replace the identities of some ghost students, because these students are recognized within the Academy City, and even their consumption records and scholarship records are complete.

In order to facilitate some people's actions and forged identities, there is a type of ghost students within the Academy City who do not need to attend classes but can maintain their student status, which is equivalent to a vest provided by the official.

Perhaps some of the vests can be obtained through internal transactions within certain organizations.

"I understand. I'm trying to figure out a way to solve the identity issue."

"As for the money, it all came from the activities of the Anbu 'personnel'. It was an anonymous bank card, so there was no hidden danger. I used it when I was working as an Anbu middleman, and now I have about 80 million on hand."

Surprisingly not angry at all, this senior student of vigilance just nodded slightly, completely ignoring the hidden meaning in someone's words.

As for why a middleman can control such a huge flow of funds, this is probably related to the fact that the Anbu directly under the chairman of Academy City is so wealthy.

"Eh. There's actually 80 million yuan."

Natsume, who was still on a stalking mission to some extent, exclaimed, with earphones in his ears for contacting Hatsuharu and a discipline committee armband on his arm.

However, it was not that they were staking out the former ANBU girl, but the same case of attacks by people with no special abilities. However, no suspects had entered the alarm area yet, which gave Natsume a lot of free time.

"Dolly, has she recovered?"

Coming back to his senses, Natsume-san blinked and stared at Dolly's face and said seriously.

She only regarded Dolly as an ordinary sister, but she meant something very different to Shokuhou-senpai and the others. However, after just a little contact, Natsume-san clearly discovered the difference between her and the other sisters.

After the emotional program is implanted, the other sisters will probably become like Dolly in front of them.

"Well, my appetite has been very good recently. I have recovered from a long sleep."

Jingce looked at him and nodded, revealing a happy smile.

Because Dolly's body had stayed in the culture tank long enough, it was not as weak as her other sisters, so there was no need for her to go to the Underworld or other research institutes for secondary culture or treatment.

Come to think of it, she didn't have much resentment towards the eighth person in front of her.

Although the eighth person pressed him hard on the lawn and hit his hand with a drink bottle, Jingce felt that the other person was a good person.

Chapter 431: Thoughts

The spacious room has good lighting, and opening the windows brings a comfortable mood.

The walls of the corridor near the rooms are painted with blue waves and seagulls representing the ocean, giving a feeling of being at the seaside.

“Even if you draw the sea here, you can only see the wall.”

"It's not easy to see the sea in Academy City."

After taking a bite of the sweet bread that Dolly had prepared, Shokuhou-senpai took a few more glances at the decoration of the room and muttered with some concern.

Obviously, I was supposed to discuss the Indian poker matter with Natsume, but once I got here, I couldn't muster the motivation to work at all, and my whole mind was focused on Dolly.

If she wanted to take Dolly and the others away from Academy City to see the sea or the northern lights, she would have to wait until the next holiday. Moreover, she had no idea whether the people on the board of directors would approve such requests from people with super powers.

As for heading out into the outside world without approval, you would probably encounter Academy City's recovery force within a few days, and this would be a special force formed specifically for psychological control.

No matter how confident Shokuhou Misaki is in her abilities, she is not sure how long she can last.

"Xiao Caoqi, such realistic thinking really makes you sound like a junior high school student."

"It should be said that even the sea on the wall is not much different from the real sea."

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Dolly maintained her high spirits and spread her arms in front of the wall, looking very imposing.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

With an indulgent expression on her face, Shokuhou-senpai rubbed Dolly's head lovingly.

"Since we can't go to the sea for the time being, we can go to the amusement park in District 6 to ride the roller coaster, go to the zoo to see hippos, and go to District 4 to eat French food. In short, as long as we are together, that's fine."

"Ah, of course the everyone I'm talking about includes Xiao Yuanzi. Because Xiao Caoqi's friends are my friends."

Her expression suddenly became tense. Dolly's thoughts always seemed very innocent.

The inherited memories are full of painful experiments and expressionless researchers. There are no parents or relatives, and since birth, they have been there just to squeeze out the value of experiments. Only when Xiaoqu and Xiaosuoqi are there some color.

This is also Dolly's favorite memory now, and she cherishes the time when the three of them can be together.

But because of the long period of loneliness and the ubiquitous indifference, Dolly has some unique talents in feeling the inner thoughts of others, which has also been transferred to the present Dolly through memory.

Although Xiao Yuanzi was so far away at that time, he was happy for her awakening and was a very reliable person.

"Eh. Me?"

"If I'm suddenly invited to an amusement park or a zoo, I'll be happy too."

Suddenly being looked at with expectant eyes, Natsume Sonoko felt a bit flustered, but a surge of joy surged in her heart.

But he quickly regained his middle school student demeanor, thinking about how to leave a mature and steady impression in Dolly's mind.

The younger sisters can all communicate with each other through the Misaka network. If I happily agree to them right away, it is very likely that I will damage the authority that I have worked so hard to build among my younger sisters.

This is also the image that Natsume tries to maintain in the eyes of his sister, a dignified and mature dorm supervisor. This is also the character setting that he got after fully referring to the original dorm supervisor of his own student dormitory.

"But I may not always have time."

"Look, Dolly, I'm a discipline committee member. Every day I have to work hard to protect the city where everyone lives and maintain the normal discipline of this city. This green shield represents a very heavy responsibility."

"But if it's Dolly's request, I'd be happy to take the time to go along."

I don't know what words popped up in Natsume's head, and he spoke them without any clue.

After saying that, he put the green shield mark on his arm in front of him, successfully attracting Dolly's curious gaze.

"Sonoko, why don't I remember you working hard to protect the city every day."

"But the Sonoko I know is indeed an excellent discipline committee member."

Shokuhou-senpai stretched lazily and commented on a certain bun with great interest.

The prerequisite for becoming a discipline committee member has never been ability, but the willingness to stand up and protect everyone even when knowing there is danger.

With Yuanzi joining the discipline committee, the team is more intimidating than before. This is the great value brought by a person with super powers.

"Really? Xiao Yuanzi is amazing."

There were some surprised expressions, and Dolly seemed to accept this setting immediately. It seems that Natsume's mature and majestic personality among his sisters is firmly established.

There are two more chairs next to the sunny windowsill. Oh, and two cups of steaming milk tea.

It would be strange if the Tokiwadai ladies didn't have drinks when they were discussing things.

However, the black tea that young ladies usually drink has not been prepared in this new apartment, but the milk tea tastes very good, and Natsume likes it very much as long as it is sweet.

"By the way, Shokuhou-senpai, do you know what happened yesterday?"

"That white ghost or something has been bothering Senior Fanfeng and the others for a long time."

After drinking half of the scalding hot milk tea in one gulp, a certain girl who didn't care about the temperature of the food suddenly asked.

Although the news was widely spread in the school, Shokuhou-senpai didn't seem to show up at all.

However, the prankster was also caught this afternoon. I heard that it was done by a sophomore senior.

The subsequent punishment was not only to apologize to everyone who was pranked, but also to clean the restaurant for two weeks.

"Of course I do."

"But I can't just interfere in matters like this."

With a helpless expression on her face, Shokuhou-senpai took a sip of her milk tea elegantly and said.

"After all, I'm just like Sonoko. We both can't bear to reject other people's kindness, especially the kindness of so many people."

"Everyone has to have his or her own position and needs to find his or her own value. If I just do the work casually, Fanfeng and everyone else will feel sad."

Shokuhou-senpai looked out the window and spoke in a calm tone.

In this steel forest, the only thing that can warm others, besides the fire, is probably the human heart.

Possessing the ability to master psychology, most people have no secrets from Shokuhou-senpai.

But she is not the kind of person who takes advantage of her ability to treat other people's kindness casually. Instead, she cherishes every insignificant kindness.

Chapter 432 Internal Evolution

After hesitating for a while, Natsume took out the Indian poker from his pocket.

This is an orange card representing a sweet dream. The tightly adhered new film on it has not been torn off, and it looks just the same as when you bought it.

Although he already knew a lot about the cards and was aware of the brainwashing power of this product, Natsume once again found Shokuhou-senpai because of it.

Strength is neither good nor bad, it is always determined by how the user uses it. Just being able to experience other people's dreams and learn all kinds of knowledge easily makes Natsume, a superpower user, excited.

But it would be too sad if someone used it for bad things, as it is such an interesting thing.

"Sonoko, it's not surprising that you care about Indian Poker."

"I remember telling you about it a few days ago. And you should know the dangers of something of unknown origin without my reminding you."

Gently putting down the teacup, Shokuhou Misaki spoke seriously, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Having read Natsume's memories before, Shokuhou Misaki knew very well that she was curious, loved to join in the fun, and admired science.

When the bun-haired girl in front of you faces the huge temptation of all three, it is normal for her to be hesitant and indecisive. It would be unexpected if she just doesn't touch it.

Normally, if she had warned me so confidently and mentioned the powerful side effects such as the possibility of being brainwashed, I would definitely stay away from her.

Natsume has been able to resist using Indian Poker until now, probably because her heart tells her that this thing is very dangerous. To some extent, she has followed her inner choice.

But now, it is obvious that the surrounding environment has aroused even stronger curiosity, causing the whole person to be in an extremely anxious state of difficulty in making a choice.

She is really an adolescent girl with an unstable mind.

However, before curiosity completely overwhelms vigilance and she convinces herself that it's okay to use less of this thing, she can ask for her own opinion again. This should be the change that her past experiences have brought about.

Just like the previous Fantasy Hand incident.

If the school hadn't issued a stern ban and if Natsume hadn't had friends who were members of the Discipline Committee, even though he knew that thing might not have much effect on high-level ability users, he might have downloaded it out of curiosity to see the effect.

"Sonoko, are there many people around you who are using Indian Poker?"

"It seems that Indian cards have become popular in the student dormitories outside the school."

Thinking of the key point, Shokuhou-senpai immediately put on a thoughtful expression on her face.

Only when everyone around you is using it will you develop a herd mentality, and you will also get some survivor bias from those who do not show any abnormalities, making other people confused.

Speaking of which, the reason why the fantasy hand can spread quickly is also due to the influence of herd mentality, that is, the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission, but most of the people involved are low-level ability people and people without ability.

At that time, Tokiwadai Middle School not only cut off the channels of following the crowd in time, but also the students were all high-level ability users who did not have a high demand for the Fantasy Hand, so there was no soil for the disease to spread.

But Indian cards are different. They are just a new type of entertainment and do not involve any sensitive issues such as ability development. Therefore, they will not touch the nerves of the school or even the Academy City.

By the time the adults realize the seriousness of the problem, some potential dangers may have already erupted.

As for the fact that this thing was developed by Academy City, Shokuhou Misaki was not as suspicious as a certain bun-haired girl.

There is definitely an official influence behind the birth of almost all technologies in Academy City, but judging from the fact that the other party can only spread them informally through underground channels or small vendors, the dissemination of such cards is not an official act promoted by Academy City.

It is more likely that the technology that was created in Academy City at some unknown time is being used recklessly by certain people for certain purposes.

The technology related to Indian Poker made Shokuhou-senpai fall into deep memories. She was no stranger to this technology of guiding and modifying other people's cognition through dreams.

"Eh."

"If it's someone close to me, Misaka-senpai is using it."

After a slight pause, Natsume immediately thought of a certain railgun who was in low spirits early in the morning and even gritted his teeth while eating, and then he spoke.

Senior Misaka should not be considered a positive example of using Indian Poker. She looks like she is in pain. She is probably a typical example of someone who wanted to have a good dream but ended up having a nightmare.

"So it's Misaka-san."
