Temperature Control in Academy City

"Only Wuxia needs everyone's protection."

After getting off the body of a certain girl with a meatball head, Index raised her head stubbornly and did not comment on what the girl with a meatball head had said before.

"We clearly agreed to act together, but Sonoko suddenly changed her mind."

“I absolutely do not agree with this.”

Index spoke word by word, the seriousness on her face almost overflowing.

No matter where she is, she will not be a burden to anyone, and if the opponent is really a magician, she will be the most useful person.

Sometimes Yuanzi is not smart enough and actually wants to drive away her, the main force.

"That's right, Natsume-san, you're obviously lying."

"She is totally inferior to Shirai-san in this respect. She is a strong character who can even speak freely in front of your dorm supervisor."

Tsuchimika said in agreement.

Although her role is mainly focused on the profession of maid, she still has some insights into seeing through people's hearts.

Among this group of complicated little girls, the one who is easiest to fool and see through is probably the one with a bun-haired head who speaks very convincingly.

Although Natsume Sonoko kept saying that she was going to deal with the blue pressure ball, judging from her constantly changing facial expressions and subtle body language while she was talking, Natsume seemed to want to handle the next case alone.

It's really obvious when Natsume-san lies.

Classmate Kihara Nayuta, who was standing nearby, also pursed her lips and said nothing at this time, but the slight excitement on her face could not be concealed no matter what.

The eighth person's current appearance seems to be more and more in line with the person she dreamed of herself.

It's awesome that he doesn't want his friends to get hurt and goes to handle dangerous cases alone.

Although I can't become the eighth, just staying quietly by her side is also a very happy thing.

Unfortunately, Kihara Nayuta has no way to transfer to Tokiwadai Junior High School now. After all, a school of Tokiwadai's level is not a place she can easily get into, and she can only follow the other party's normal admission process.

But other than that, is there any other way to stay with the Eighth more?

Come to think of it, what if she became the eighth experiment supervisor?

Kihara Nayuta's experimental ability may not be considered the best among many Kiharas, but it is definitely at an excellent level.

This was when Kihara Nayuta was striving for the perfect experiment of 'taking even the safety of the experimental subjects into consideration', discarding a large number of experimental steps that were harmful to the human body and adding cumbersome experimental subject protection procedures.

But I heard that the eighth one had never agreed to any cooperation request from any laboratory, and had no similar laboratory industry under her name. She was simply extremely independent.

I don’t know how the eighth one adapted to the abilities and formula development of the superpower stage.

Thinking of this, Kihara Nayuta sighed silently, as if she was having a headache about how to reasonably approach the eighth place.

But the next second, she couldn't help but raise her head, as if she thought of something.

By the way, I am also a discipline committee member.

At least now I can fight alongside No. 8.

...

A recreational park in the 18th School District is much larger than the one near Wuqiu School.

There is a dormitory building nearby where high school students live, but there are not many students staying in the dormitory right now.

Because the intelligence information contained in the blue spores is fixed, even Natsume Sonoko cannot modify it.

If Natsume Sonoko wants to confront those mutants head-on, what she needs to do is to find a suitable place in the general area covered by this intelligence as the battlefield for the upcoming conflict.

This was also the reason why Natsume Sonoko wanted Tsuchimikado and the others to go back quickly, because the area around here had become unsafe with her presence.

As for the people nearby who might be affected, Natsume was going to borrow some spare isolation lines from the security teacher to isolate some of the areas with heavy traffic nearby.

Only by gathering together these mutants that have spread throughout the Academy City and dealing with them can the impact of this incident be minimized.

Even though some cases will occur while these mutants gather and travel, this is no longer something that Natsume can control.

She could only hope that she was really important in the other party's eyes, so that they could avoid any other conflicts.

However, although Natsume took most of the situations into consideration in a short period of time, there were still some unexpected situations, such as several of her fellow girls who refused to leave.

"Yuanzi, that's amazing."

"There's actually a way to attract all the bad guys here."

Standing not far away, Index's slightly excited voice reached Natsume Sonoko, and she didn't seem to be afraid at all.

Natsume Sonoko also had a few burdens by her side, and even the elementary school student with a red schoolbag followed her for some unknown reason.

Tsuchimikado-san was supposed to bring her lunch, but she encountered the situation of her brother going missing and had no intention of going back to the school garden.

Looking for my brother, I want to find my brother, Tsuchimikado encouraged himself silently.

If Natsume can attract all the bad guys here, then her brother will definitely be safe.

However, she was worried about Natsume's classmate's safety, so she simply followed Natsume Sonoko.

In addition to Natsume and the others, there are also some fully armed security forces in this park.

"Natsume-san, the remaining members of the security guards from District 7, District 5, and District 22 have already set out. The reinforcements from other districts will probably be delayed for a while. If traffic control is implemented in advance, the first batch of reinforcements is expected to arrive here in about ten minutes."

"But before that, we probably need to hold off the first few waves of attacks."

The female security guard who I met before was talking to Natsume Sonoko about something, and there was a slight flash of curiosity in her eyes.

The girl in front of him turned out to be a new psychic in Academy City, and she had found a way to influence those mutants from the blue gas she had just collected.

However, even if the other party was a person with super powers, she had no intention of really adopting the plan of the student in front of her.

However, what puzzled the security teacher was that not long after the student proposed her plan, the security headquarters inexplicably called to approve it.

"I understand, thank you teacher."

Natsume-san nodded obediently.

She was not sure that she could protect Index and the others, but she did not want to give up the opportunity.

In this embarrassing situation, Natsume Sonoko immediately thought of asking for help from the security teacher beside her. This was actually her second alternative plan.

The reason why she is a backup choice is because Natsume Sonoko has no confidence at all that she can convince the security teachers in such a crisis.

But contrary to Natsume Sonoko's expectations, her plan was not only adopted, but also seemed to have the support of the entire security department.

Although she had a good reputation in the security department, the girl with the bun was flattered that the teachers trusted and valued her so much.

Chapter 512 Kihara

Yellow cordon has been set up around the small leisure park, indicating that the vicinity is under real-time control of the security guards.

While setting up the cordon, the security teacher also evacuated the surrounding people through the broadcast of the 18th District and sending text messages. This was much more efficient than a certain ball-head acting on his own, and there was no possibility of missing anyone.

At the same time, dense black spots appeared above the park, almost occupying the entire sky within the field of vision.

As the black spots approached, there were noisy sounds such as buzzing. After careful observation, it was discovered that these were the sounds of drones flying.

A large number of transport drones took off from the nearby coordination hangar, and under the effective command of the security teacher, they unloaded a number of security robots with flashing green lights that seemed to have started running programs in the open space in the park on one side.

These security robots are not regular cylindrical shapes like the common robots in Academy City, but are hexagonal prisms and are as tall as a person.

A launching slot capable of firing special plasma bullets can be extended from each prismatic area.

Natsume is actually quite familiar with this type of plasma weapon.

Plasma is actually plasma. The basic principle of this plasma bullet is to use a laser to heat the internal deuterium and other substances to a suitable temperature, turning it into a plasma state, and then using electromagnetic technology to launch it.

If Senior Misaka can master the method of producing plasma, then the electromagnetic gun can be upgraded to a super plasma gun. The difference is probably the difference between kinetic weapons and energy weapons.

The sending of these plasma-emitting security robots seemed to take into account the lessons learned from the previous battles between the security guards and the mutants.

The damage caused by kinetic bullets to the mutants is too low. It is even difficult to penetrate the tentacle's cortex, not to mention that the opponent has good self-healing ability. In this case, it is obviously more appropriate to use energy weapons.

Even the weapons used by the security teachers were temporarily replaced with more lethal plasma weapons with the permission of the headquarters.

However, according to the latest intelligence obtained by the guards, these mutants do not seem to be the real enemies themselves, but rather ordinary people whose bodies are parasitized by certain spores.

These ordinary people who are parasitized by the spores not only have no reason or thoughts, but even their actions are restricted by the spores themselves. They are simply a new kind of infectious virus.

However, this kind of infection is also limited. The number of spores itself determines the strength of the mutant. And when the spores are completely separated, the infected ordinary people will almost get rid of the influence.

As for inhaling a small amount, it does not seem to be a problem at the moment. The situation will only be controlled if a certain number of spores are parasitized.

At the same time, even if plasma weapons are used, ordinary people who may return to normal must be taken into consideration, which also adds more difficulty to the guards' battle.

So in addition to normal plasma weapons, these security teachers in front of them also specially requested a large number of capture grenades.

In the busy little park, two armored vehicles with security guards were parked in the middle of the park's main road, surrounded by benches that can be found everywhere in the park.

Natsume and Sonoko and several other little girls sat obediently side by side on a bench near the armored vehicle, swinging their little feet and watching the security teachers busying in and out.

The teachers all seem very busy, unlike them, who have nothing to do.

By the way, except for the tall Tsuchimikado-san, the other girls sitting on the benches couldn't even touch the ground with their legs stretched out, which was a bit sad no matter how you thought about it.

And above Natsume and Sonoko and the others, the light blue ball of air had begun to grow dimmer, which meant that some of its spores had been consumed by the world itself.

That's right, it is consumed rather than transformed into other energy or substance.

It seems that this kind of spores seems to be more similar to the aim field energy that Natsume knows.

When the AIM force field energy aggregate is manifested in the real universe, it can be consumed by the power of the physical world.

In this case, even if the security teachers have not completed their preparations yet, Natsume-san will have to spread all these spores out in a while.

Although these spores seem to have the ability to automatically find their own kind, considering the wind speed in Academy City today, Natsume Sonoko also needs to leave enough time for the spores to spread.

"Mr. Kihara, actually, since the moment I met you, I have had a very pressing question in my mind."

At this moment, the voice of Natsume Sonoko suddenly came to her ears, causing an elementary school girl who was sitting next to her to breathe rapidly.

Although 70% of her body has been replaced with artificial products, many of her body functions are still similar to those of ordinary people.

They will be nervous, sad, happy, disappointed, and even more sensitive to various emotions than ordinary people.

Turning her head carefully, Kihara Nayuta nervously pinched the hem of her skirt, and then faced Natsume-san's slightly weird gauze face.

"what is the problem?"

Kihara Nayuta clenched her fists and immediately thought of a lot of words to answer the other party, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into a simple question.

"Mr. Kihara, do you know someone named Kihara Gensei?"

"Actually, I don't have any other intentions. I just think the surname Kihara is quite rare. You might know it."

Natsume Sonoko felt that it was a bit presumptuous to ask this question, so she began to stammer when she spoke, not at all as calm and composed as before.

But she really cares about this matter.

"Grandpa Huansheng, I know him."

"And you're wrong about two things. Kihara isn't a surname, it's just a type of person, and it's not uncommon."

Kihara Nayuta was slightly stunned, and hesitated for a while before speaking.

How could he not know her? She was the experimental subject of Grandpa Huansheng. The experiment that caused her physical disability was also led by him.

She felt that Natsume Sonoko would be interested in the Kihara clan probably because of the second absolute ability user evolution plan implemented by Kihara Gensei before.

The fact that they were interested in the Kihara clan was not a good thing for the vast majority of students in Academy City.

"A class of people?"

Natsume seems to have grasped a key word.

"Ah."

Kihara Nayuta nodded.

However, after seeing Natsume Sonoko's increasingly curious gaze, Kihara Nayuta became quieter and no longer delved into the issue.

Out of a certain sense of protection for the Eighth, Kihara Nayuta felt that it would be better not to continue telling the other party about the Kihara clan, so as not to arouse more curiosity of the Eighth.

In this city where people with special abilities are treated as guinea pigs, even for people with special abilities, it is too dangerous to choose to spy on the experimenters behind the scenes.

Chapter 513: No Step Back

The spores slowly drifted away with the air, and under the influence of the real-time wind direction, they gradually turned into a wide three-dimensional fan angle.
