Temperature Control in Academy City

"Don't be nervous, everything is under control."

"It will definitely work, as long as we find the right way."

Restraining her slightly nervous mood, the girl with a bun tried to maintain an optimistic attitude.

This situation was within her expectations. There were only a few possible outcomes, and she could either keep up or not.

Even though she used up more than 60% of Zero's computing power in an instant, and even completely gave away the control of her own body to the care of a little nun, the result was still not optimistic.

This also shows that the practice of using big data to analyze the 'formula' input by the mastermind is not smart.

But this is also normal. The girl with a bun is just an ordinary girl and she doesn't need to be smart.

"To observe and record this level of data changes is completely beyond the ability of humans. At least I don't think anyone can do it, and that white-haired guy certainly can't do it. Just the information changes in the optical part are enough to make people puzzled."

"But if we change our thinking and stop collecting all the optical force field data, we can hide most of the optical data again, just like we hid the other types of aim force fields before, and only keep a part that our computing power can use to quickly analyze and infer."

"You can even divide the part that needs to be observed into several parts. For example, consider the data of the force field of Feng Zhan that eventually interferes with the physical world as the end point, and then work backwards from the end point to the starting point of the 'formula'. You only need to calculate one part at a time, and then find a 'path' that affects the entire core."

While silently observing the changes in Feng Zhan in reality, Natsume suddenly thought of something.

Simply put, it is to find the tree diagram of the 'formula' interfering with the energy of the aim force field. Since the aim force field can accept the 'formula', the series of changes caused by the formula should also spread according to the rules from near to far and from simple to complex.

Of course, Natsume didn't know how the AIM force field energy was accepted and expressed in the 'formula', and was confused by the messy information in the force field. Most of this messy information was the random thoughts of some unknown ability users.

But the truth or the law can be known by just looking closely.

Chapter 494: The Power of Everyday Life

The sound stagnated, the light and shadow faded, and all tangible things turned into nothingness.

Anything that is not helpful for calculation seems to disappear from Natsume Sonoko's mind and becomes an insignificant embellishment in the vast world.

According to the words of an ancient country, this is probably the advanced state of being not attached to material things.

Come to think of it, Natsume Sonoko rarely acts so wholeheartedly.

Hold your breath, empty your mind, and feel like you have become a fisherman going out to sea, reeling in your fishing line from the vast ocean, looking forward to seeing the final trophy.

As she continued to struggle in the sea, some obvious things gradually appeared before her eyes, and she began to understand some intelligence about the information contained inside the aim force field.

What made her happy was that the way the AIM force field expressed the 'formula' was no different from what she had previously guessed. There was a phased process, which was the so-called from simple to complex, from near to far, which was in line with the common sense of ordinary people like Natsume Sonoko.

“Even if we use this method to work our way back to the starting point of the ‘formula’, we still cannot see the original ‘formula’, we can only see fragments of the ‘formula’ that have changed over time.”

"If we want to truly understand the essence of the formula, we can no longer just keep the fragments. We still need to reinterpret the entire data area near the 'starting point' and eliminate the differences caused by changes in time."

"But compared to interpreting the huge amount of work from the starting point to the end point, it is much easier to set the goal near the 'starting point'. This eliminates a lot of useless processes and at least allows for some mistakes."

He took a deep breath silently, and the tension of a certain bun-haired guy intensified once again.

She felt that she had gained a certain degree of initiative, but the workload she faced was still huge.

No matter what data the previous aim force field contained, it has undergone tremendous changes under the influence of the external 'formula'.

What she interprets is never just the data itself, but also the patterns of change and disturbance under the influence of formulas.

However, as long as the mastermind behind the scenes gives her enough time to find the input 'formula', the goddess of victory will be waving at her.

"It's too late. Feng Zhan-san looks more real now."

"The optical 'formula' input by the mastermind is changing. The other party is debugging it to some extent."

Having just determined the 'starting point' of the path through reverse reasoning, Natsume Sonoko found that she had no extra time at all.

This is also normal. Debugging is just to see if there is a problem. If there is no problem, start the next item immediately.

In this case, the path you found will immediately become useless, and the ripples caused by the second stone will seriously affect the changes here, unless the other party drops the stone in the same place twice.

"Then there is only one way. That is to stop interpreting in real time and put all the existing computing power into recording and organizing the data of the 'starting point' part, and then put the observed data into Zero's to-do list."

As soon as the idea came to her mind, Natsume Sonoko prepared to postpone all the original formula deductions of the computer in Zero's body, which would free up Zero's workload for the next month.

It is like writing down the questions in a notebook and doing them when you have time. And this notebook is Natsume Sonoko's own brain.

She didn't know how big the capacity of the human brain was, but if she compared it to the 100,000 pornographic books in Index's head, she would know that human potential was still enormous.

You can even borrow Reiko's brain, but Natsume won't do that.

The internal data of the AIM force field contains a lot of other people's messy thoughts, which will seriously interfere with Zero's nascent consciousness.

Although she would only read the valuable parts, she would not be able to cover everything and would inevitably record some messy thoughts. This was the risk she needed to face now.

"Do you really want to do this?"

"If there is any problem, stop it immediately."

Natsume Sonoko comforted herself and said that it was already difficult for her to stop.

Whether it was classmate Feng Zhan Binghua or some sudden desire in her heart, she chose to continue trying.

This kind of thing only happens once or countless times. Ever since she chose to accept the memory of that pupil, her inner threshold has been slowly getting lower. This is probably why she is so decisive now.

As long as she remains the lazy, helpful and kind-hearted Natsume Sonoko, there is no possibility of being replaced.

Just like growing up, to some extent it is equivalent to killing your current self, but no one cares.

Her uneasy heart finally calmed down as the first batch of data entered her brain. Natsume Sonoko was surprised to find that this data and information did not cause her as much trouble as she had expected, and even the extreme emotions of other ability users were rare.

Normally, the aim field rarely carries data such as memory, but instead contains a lot of emotional things, because the aim field is the energy emitted unconsciously by the ability user, and is naturally partially affected by the emotions at the time.

Is it because many people are like her?

Or maybe it could be said that most people’s force field energy distractions are only partial manifestations of their daily lives.

The dull daily life of a certain Maruko-chan is actually no different from that of everyone else in Academy City, except that he occasionally faces some unhappy things.

Troubles and happiness are so simple and plain. You should be happy when you can eat delicious food, don't put on a good face when you meet someone you hate, and try to stand up for your cherished friends no matter how scared you are. Even the look of being short of money is very similar to most students.

Although he is a person with super powers, he is more like a screw submerged in the crowd. This is the inexplicable benefit brought by an ordinary character.

This is a force hidden somewhere in the world, a force that can be called everyday.

The last time the Fantasy Hand caused the ability users' force fields and emotions to lose control, it was like a special case. Negative things can never replace the cherished daily life. And the negative force field clusters generated by this are only a tiny part of the vast force field ocean.

However, although there are no extreme emotions, the greatest desire for people with super powers is still there.

However, this is largely consistent with Natsume's own emotions. She also started out as an ordinary person with special abilities and worked her way up step by step.

"It's like everyone in Academy City is in my body."

"That's not right. I just witnessed the traces of many people's existence. It sounds very noble."

Natsume couldn't help but think about something, trying to imprint the data into his brain, because the wave of the second stone was about to come.

And these huge amounts of data and information will be neatly placed somewhere in the head, waiting for a royal girl to review them.

Chapter 494: Half-True Appearance

As a result of reading the messy data in the force field, the girl with the bun hair, who was eroded by countless ordinary emotions in it, seemed to be given an invulnerable shell at this time, which prevented her from encountering serious psychological problems.

Under the impact of so many ordinary emotions, the strong will be worn down, the brave will become cowardly, those with firm beliefs will become hesitant, those who are utilitarian will become dull, and only the originally ordinary girl seems to have not changed at all.

This also represents the emergence of a possibility that Natsume Sonoko will finally have the opportunity to control this giant dragon of force field gathered by ordinary people with special abilities without losing her nature and fighting spirit in an instant.

"Feng Zhan is the core of many AIM force field energies, which means she is the extension of everyone's will. Her existence represents the true inner self of most ability users."

"In fact, everyone in Academy City is neither violent nor evil. Instead, they are innocent and simple. Guys like White Hair are just a minority after all."

After coming into contact with the collective will contained in the force field, Natsume Sonoko understood one thing clearly, and a feeling of identification surged in her heart.

Even if Feng Zhan's personality could be determined artificially, he would eventually end up on a similar path.

Because the force field core is originally a collection of everyone's thoughts. Even if it is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is impossible to go against the general trend of the AIM force field and forcibly fabricate a thinking body that goes against the collective will of the ability users, unless the other party wants to get a tool that does not work smoothly and has a confused mind.

So from the very beginning, the other party's choices are very limited.

Some data gradually began to fill her head, and the high-intensity input made Natsume Sonoko's head a little dizzy.

However, Natsume is a girl with similar experiences after all. Including reading the memories of time travelers and reading dream memories, she has long been familiar with this kind of thing.

After avoiding the most worrying psychological problem, all that remains is Natsume Sonoko's own ability to accept it.

Sure enough, people cannot be compared.

Index is in some ways non-human.

After recording a large amount of data and information in a short period of time, even a superpower like Natsume felt nauseous. Her brain was giving her some kind of warning through her body, telling her that it was dangerous to do so.

Unfortunately, at this time, Natsume's body was almost out of her control. Even the feelings of nausea and vomiting were greatly weakened. At most, the stomach muscles of her 1.45 meter tall body twitched and moved a few times.

Luckily, the groggy feeling spread to both Reiko and Sonoko's bodies, which made her realize the magnitude of her problem.

However, at this time, she had gone through almost three rounds of optical 'formula' transformations and had collected enough optical data.

Moreover, the other party seemed to have no intention of continuing to debug the optics, which also gave the guy with the ball head some time to rest.

"I should have thought of it earlier. If Feng Zhan is a collection of force fields in the phase, then my part is also included."

"So the guy behind the scenes has actually been using my power through Feng Zhan-san."

His mind raced, and a thought came to the mind of a guy with a ball head, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Chapter 494: Gokihara Nayuta

At an intersection somewhere in District 18, the red and green lights directing traffic have changed several times in succession, and even the passers-by who cast curious glances at them have changed several times.

In a peaceful and even extremely normal environment, Index, dressed in a white nun's uniform, knelt on the ground in panic, trying to shake a bun-haired girl who suddenly seemed to have a serious illness and was unconscious.

Originally, the two were happily chatting about the customs and habits of the 18th school district.

Although I feel that the variety of snacks here is not as rich as those in the Seventh School District, the taste seems to be better. I will come here more often in the future if I have the chance.

But it happened in almost a split second, before Index could even react, the bun-haired girl next to her seemed to have lost support and fell limply to the ground.

Fortunately, there was no bumping when I fell, so no secondary injury was caused, but the newly distributed winter school uniform was made dirty.

"Sonoko, you look so scary. Did you have an upset stomach? Is this the food poisoning Touma mentioned?"

"By the way, we need to send Yuanzi to the hospital."

When her arms were shaking so much that they felt a little sore, the little nun finally came to her senses.

This couldn't go on, she needed to do something, after all, they were a team.

Although I don't know what happened to Sonoko, it's definitely right to send her to the hospital at this time. Those so-called doctors must have a way. Index thought of the place where Touma went every few days. Even the smell of disinfectant was familiar, and the expression on her face finally became lively.

Wiping the tears of worry that were about to fall from her eyes, Index stood up with great effort and tried to help the bun-haired girl up.

Fortunately, due to her rapid weight loss, the girl with the ball head has dropped to a worrying level and now has only a few pounds of flesh on her body.

Even though Index, who was of similar height and build, was able to help the girl beside her up, she still had difficulty moving.

"Does the student in front need help? Well, what a surprising encounter, it turns out to be the rarest nun in Academy City."

"So Miss Sister is friends with that Tokiwadai student?"

A strange girl's voice came from behind. When Index turned around, she saw a short girl with a red school bag and blonde twin pigtails.

The other person looked only twelve or thirteen years old, no different from an ordinary elementary school student. He was not very tall, in fact, not even as tall as Index, and could only be on the same level as the girl with the bun.

As for Index, her height is three centimeters taller than Sonoko's.

But regardless of appearance or height, what Index noticed at first glance was the green armband on the other person's arm.

In this case, the other party would be a discipline committee member like Sonoko.

However, there are very few students around during this time period, and most of the discipline committee members are still in school. It is a very rare thing to meet one on the street.

"Let me help too."

"My name is Kihara Nayuta, and I'm a new member of the Discipline Committee."

Chapter 494: The Former Incompetent

The tall camphor trees near the sidewalk cast thick shade, covering the girls in this small space.

The air around them suddenly became quiet, and the movements of the vehicles seemed to be in slow motion. If you get a little closer, you can clearly hear each other's breathing.

After offering to help, Kihara Nayuta placed her hand on the shoulder of a girl with a bun-like hairstyle, a hint of curiosity and concern in her eyes, and then she skillfully took care of the paralyzed girl in front of her.
