Temperature Control in Academy City

Because of the different situations faced by both parties, they had two completely different attitudes towards power. Just like the personalities mentioned above, the two people developed in completely opposite modes.

Getting back to the point, in this world, the power that can travel through different phases in the same world can be defined as angel power.

In some magician associations that specialize in research and exploration, the power of angels is even called the power of the world.

At the same time, this power can be defined as a forbidden power, which does not circulate among human groups and can only be manipulated and guided by some special humans at most.

Natsume and her classmates' perception ability allows their consciousness to wander between phases and the universe. As long as they drop an anchor point, the phase can feedback the information they want.

Although it is impossible to confirm the connection between this power that only exists in Natsume's mind and the power of angels, just from the point of crossing phases, it has similarities with the power of angels.

Chapter 478 Anchor Point

Although it has similar properties to angelic power, it has an almost completely different form of expression.

At least Natsume's perception ability cannot be called a kind of energy at all. Instead, it is more like a kind of idealistic superpower that requires computing power to analyze the information and intelligence obtained.

It is well known that superpowers need to be carried by one's own personal reality, using computing power to drive personal reality to interfere with the physical universe.

The ability to perceive not only has no unique personal reality, but also has no effect of interfering with the universe and phases. It is just a ghost floating in the world, examining this imperfect world with an expressionless face and self-satisfied enjoyment.

"Ms. Hitomi, unlike the esper, you have not undergone a systematic brain development course, so how did she analyze the information obtained after the observation? The huge calculation pressure caused by just the preliminary observation of the phase sea is enough to overwhelm an ordinary esper."

"Or is it that the computing power possessed by the ability user is not the only way to analyze information. Depending on the user's different worldview, there are actually different mechanisms for feedback of information."

Natsume raised his eyebrows and thought divergently.

She couldn't understand the nature of sentience. It was neither matter, nor energy, nor magic, nor science.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the perception itself should be related to the identity of the time traveler, or in other words, it should be related to the cause and effect of why the so-called time traveler appears in this world.

"Is perception the ability that the traveler brought from another world?"

"But I can't explain why it can be used here and why it is so suitable for the power of this world."

"And is there really a different world? There is clearly nothing outside of the layers of phases. Everything there seems to be completely fake, even more unacceptable than the phases. At least as soon as my perception touches it, my brain's attempt to comprehend the existence of that place becomes painful, and I have to forcibly stop."

Thinking of this, the conflicted expression on Natsume's face almost disappeared.

She would never waste too much time on things that she could not understand. No matter which world they were from, once they chose to look up at the stars, they would sooner or later die of exhaustion on the way.

The abilities of human beings are limited. At least we should form an aim force field thinking body first.

Putting down the notebook in his hand, Natsume seemed to have no intention of writing anything down.

Because she was a little depressed at this time, it was probably because Natsume Sonoko absorbed too many dreams and information from the same person, which led to a kind of cognitive confusion and bewilderment.

This has little to do with whether the dream reappears or not. The effect of brainwashing is difficult to exert in a read-only state. It is an information shock that comes from other personalities.

After all, Indian Poker simply cannot carry too much information, and only the brainwashing effect seems to be daunting. However, for the dream world with almost infinite number and capacity, this limitation does not exist.

Fortunately, people with super powers have a significant advantage in maintaining self-awareness and can constantly digest the information from another person. However, because too much information floods into the brain at once, their own thinking is constantly being subtly influenced.

Mr. Marutou, who lacks similar psychological experience, will eventually pay the price for his greed.

If she had asked the blonde senior a similar question in advance, she would have known the risks of filling her head with too many stories of other people's lives in a short period of time, and she did not have the ability to clear her brain like the blonde.

Similarly, because the two people are originally one, this subtle influence seems to be even more serious. Because in Natsume's subconscious, he also recognizes the special relationship between him and the other party.

"This can't go on any longer."

"The danger hidden in dreams is more profound than you can imagine."

Observing the tributary that was much longer than his twelve-year dream, Natsume thought with some concern.

She didn't want to suffer from schizophrenia. She didn't want to visualize another Miss Tongzi in her body. The amount of information about the other party was obviously greater than her own twelve years of life. Absorbing the other party's life without limit was just asking for trouble.

The formation of personality is closely related to the environment and experience. Once you are influenced by the life of others, will the person you become still be yourself?

Even after observing the other person's daily life for too long, Natsume would unconsciously adopt some of the other person's words and deeds. The only benefit was that he looked more elegant.

It's so infuriating. Wasn't she elegant before? She studied hard to become an excellent young lady.

Forcing himself to straighten out his thoughts and separate himself from a pile of complicated information, Natsume tried hard to recognize the difference between the two people, and then he slumped down at the desk weakly.

In the end, no major problems arose. The other person's life was too fragmented and far from being as complete as one's own life.

This experience also made Natsume have some concerns about exploring the dream phase. As long as the base of dreams to be explored is large enough, she can completely imagine what it would be like if her head was filled with all kinds of people's lives.

In order to avoid this possible cognitive disorder, having an independent and sound self-awareness is only the foundation. She also needs to find strong anchor points to support her own cognitive existence.

The simplest approach is to enrich your memory and deepen various ties so as not to lose yourself in the vast ocean of information.

In Natsume's opinion, even if there is someone in this world of Magical Index who can explode the universe and phases with a single thought, he cannot withstand the terrible state of the infinite sea of ​​information superimposed in the world to reach a certain degree of omniscience, because that would be destined to lose everything and be unable to find the other side of salvation.

Unless the information content of such existence itself is even greater than that of the world. In fact, once there are two or more such existences, such a possibility no longer exists, and they themselves are also contained in the ocean of information.

However, what Natsume doesn't understand is that bursting the universe is at most a direct reflection of the amount of matter and energy. But from the perspective of the world of Magical Index itself, matter and energy are actually meaningless, just the manifestation of the Creator's superficial power. Both can be generated and eliminated in many ways. What is more important is the information and knowledge that the Creator uses to operate the universe and even the world.

Back to the point, this kind of cognitive impairment and even personality loss and collapse is actually not uncommon. What Natsume cares about most is the strange state of Misaka-senpai's promotion to level 6.

The reason why Misaka-senpai was able to hold on until the moment she was rescued was actually due to the memories of the Misaka sisters' deaths.

Although these memories were only for the purpose of guiding promotion at the beginning, as the degree of evolution deepened, they became the anchor for Misaka-senpai to maintain her own cognition. Rage and rage maintained the existence of her own personality, and she was not assimilated and lost by the power of the incomplete Absolute Ability User in a short period of time.

This also made Natsume understand the huge risks of becoming a user with absolute ability. Her twelve years of experience were completely unable to support the danger of integrating into the universe and manifesting the starry sky herself.

It is said that the man with white hair can normally become an absolute ability user after more than two hundred years. In addition to some rigid conditions, it is probably because his two hundred years of life experience is enough to support the integrity of his personality.

As for the previous plan to create absolute superpowers, which was almost like forcing things to happen, it seems even more suspicious from this perspective.

Relying on battles with his sisters might stimulate the improvement of his calculation ability, but it is too inferior to use it to form an anchor to support the integrity of his personality, and it is not even as effective as the bond with the last work.

Chapter 479 Queen Bee

Shaking his aching head, Natsume tried to remain calm in an objective sense.

The topic of people with absolute abilities is too advanced, and is probably the ultimate power that ordinary people on the scientific side can imagine.

Even Natsume, a superpower who has already stood at the top of Academy City, feels curious and longing for that unknown realm.

As a mortal, comprehending the will of God, just a little thought will tell you that it is something that refreshes the existing scientific knowledge.

You have to know that the scientific side does not believe in God, but the evaluation of those with absolute abilities must be raised to the level of God, which must represent an absolute dominance over all people with abilities, including those with super powers.

Because of this, Natsume once doubted whether a person with absolute ability would really appear.

And judging from the glimpse of Misaka-senpai being promoted to an absolute ability user, it is possible for an absolute ability user to appear.

As the total amount of computing power continues to increase, until the computing power of the entire Misaka network is loaded, the ability user will reach a critical point where they can communicate with the aim force field, which is probably the external manifestation of part of the power of the absolute ability user.

At first, it was just the aim diffusion field released unconsciously by the brain, but as the brain itself continues to evolve, it will eventually reach the point where it can instinctively sense and control the energy of the aim field. Even if Misaka-senpai is unprepared or even loses her mind, she can use the aim field as she pleases.

However, what worries Natsume is that her computing ability is still growing steadily and has not reached the so-called ceiling of her ability.

When she was first promoted to a psychic, she didn't even have the basic computing power of a psychic, which is what Natsume has always believed to be ten times the computing power of an ordinary psychic.

Of course, this judgment has not been officially recognized by Academy City. It is just some gossip that Natsume got from the Internet. In fact, this is almost the normal level for ordinary psychics.

As time goes by, Natsume has already surpassed the basic level by a large margin. Many calculations that were originally difficult have become easy, and he no longer needs to rely on Zero's help from time to time like before.

As long as this steadily growing trend is not suddenly interrupted one day, it means that she may also reach the critical point of computing power, but just like Accelerator, it will take a long time.

However, Natsume-san does not have the awareness that she may become a person with absolute special abilities. After all, she has always thought of herself as being ordinary.

"Eh."

"The dorm supervisor is about to go out. He looks like he is going to school since he is dressed neatly."

"Come to think of it, such a serious incident happened in the school, the dorm supervisor must be very sad. After all, she didn't realize that brainwashing cards were being spread in the student dormitory."

Supporting his thin, well-defined cheekbones, Natsume's expressionless face gradually regained some agility and he focused his attention on the real world.

Strictly speaking, the dormitory supervisor was derelict in her duty as such a dangerous thing had sneaked into the student dormitory, but no one would blame her.

Although she could easily scare a superpower to tears and make a head that moved in a certain space spin 180 degrees, she was just an ordinary young woman after all. You can't ask too much of the warden, and not many people can foresee the danger in advance.

However, when the dorm supervisor went out for something, the options available to the girl with the bun immediately increased.

Whether staying in the student dormitory and being a good boy, or sneaking out of the window to participate in club activities, the range of activities of a certain bun-haired girl suddenly expanded to the entire Academy City.

And according to the usual movements of the dorm supervisor, I will have at least two or three hours of activity time. If the dorm supervisor chooses to have lunch at school, then this time can be extended.

As a caring and thoughtful student in the student dormitory, Natsume tries hard not to cause trouble to his dorm supervisor. Even when jumping out of the window, he pays careful attention to whether he will step on the flowers and plants in the surrounding flower beds.

.....

The school garden, Tokiwadai Junior High School.

The attack that happened yesterday has not yet come to an end, at least students from Tokiwadai can be seen everywhere talking about it.

Several worried senior students looked anxiously in the direction of the Shokuhou faction, as if they were worried that a certain esper would take the opportunity to carry out a brutal "purge" to strengthen their absolute dominance in the school.

Anyone who had experienced the clash of factions in Tokiwadai a year ago and the domination of the Shokuhou faction would know how decisive and strong that elegant blonde girl was. Although the core members of the three major factions had graduated one after another, the power of the Shokuhou faction had expanded to a point where it could not be resisted in a short period of time.

Having said that, due to the dual intervention of the Shokuhou faction and the school council, most of the Tokiwadai students who did not participate in yesterday's incident still had only a vague understanding of it. As a result, many new posts on the school forum were piled up, and everyone enthusiastically participated in the rare on-campus brawl in Tokiwadai.

As for places outside Tokiwadai Junior High School, only other schools in the Gakusha Garden received some ambiguous news. The specific information was blocked in the Gakusha Garden by the people on the school board, which quickly resolved a public relations crisis for Tokiwadai.

However, the most popular information on the school forum is that first-year student Natsume Sonoko dismantled the activity room in the teaching building.

A blonde girl with the ID Queen Bee kept her account in stealth mode, quietly browsing the school forum, then rubbed her head with a headache.

As Academy City began the school uniform change season, first-year students received new uniforms, while most of the senior students, except for those with significant changes in body shape, still wore old uniforms from previous years.

Shokuhou Misaki also put on her own beige women's suit. Her beautiful figure made the clothes bulge out, and she didn't look like a junior high school student of her age.

At this time, she seemed to still be thinking about how to deal with what happened yesterday, but everyone's excessive curiosity also caused her practical troubles, such as a certain railgun.

Not far in front of her, a fierce-looking girl with a scrutinizing look on her face crossed her arms, trying to get some real information from Shokuhou Misaki, who always caused trouble for her but whose relationship seemed to have improved recently.

Chapter 480: Bad Personality

Of course, the real information cannot be told to this railgun casually.

Putting the electronic product in her hand aside and taking a sip of the black tea placed in front of her, Shokuhou Misaki still did not trust the railgun in front of her, and it showed on her face appropriately.

Paranoid paranoia is not easy to treat; it is a deep-rooted problem.

And from some gossip I heard, this Misaka-san has also used Indian poker, and no one can guarantee that the other person's thinking is still in a normal state.

"I'm so sorry, Misaka-san."

"I am willing to be in such close contact with you. In fact, I have already taken a very big risk."

"Although Misaka-san may not know what happened yesterday, with your ability, the information spread on the Internet can no longer be hidden from your eyes. So you should know that people like you who have used Indian Poker are likely to be dangerous people with extreme violent tendencies."

Leaning lazily on the chair, Shokuhou Misaki had a playful smile on her face and took the remote control from her bag in a pretentious manner.

This Jin Shanshan seems to enjoy this feeling of provocation. He really has a bad personality.

Fortunately, Natsume saw almost all the other side of this blonde senior, otherwise the perfect image of the senior in his mind would be shattered soon.

"Your bad character hasn't changed at all."

"No matter what concerns you have, blocking the news is really annoying. Will letting everyone know the real situation affect your status in school?"

Tiny electric snakes appeared on her forehead, and the muscles at the corners of Misaka-senpai's mouth were squeezed together, revealing a forced but polite smile.

This feeling of endurance is terrible. I really want to give her a 100,000 volt shot and let Shokuhou Misaki experience the daily life of a certain black guy.

"Queen...Misaka-san..."

"Let's talk about it and eat cookies together..."

She interrupted the conversation between the two superpowers in a panic. Standing not far away, Junko Fanfeng's face turned red, and she looked embarrassed and anxious. She was holding the freshly baked biscuits in her hand and hurried over.

Obviously, she also belongs to the group of people who use Indian poker, and even Misaka-san's poker is provided by her.

In order to secretly observe the meeting between the two people with super powers, Senior Sister Fanfeng temporarily put aside the complicated affairs within the faction and glanced here whenever she had time.

Having said that, this complicated girl from the Bee Qin School seems to still have her previous thoughts.

Although this idea is to push the person she cares about to someone else, Junko Hokaze still insists on doing so, and even because of yesterday's attack, this idea has deepened.

The queen is very fragile and needs more protectors.

On the contrary, the inferiority complex she had towards people with super powers dissipated a lot after a battle in which she gave her all, because she successfully protected the queen.

"Xiaorun, you are too weak. That stuttering tone doesn't suit you at all."
