Temperature Control in Academy City

"And if Sonoko shows up, the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced."

After thinking for a moment, Shokuhou-senpai shook her head and said.

Chapter 543: Tired

The apartment where Jingce Kanqu and Dolly live is an ordinary five-story building. What is more noteworthy is the relatively complete access control system and the oversized jacuzzi provided for the residents.

It was really hard for Keiseki to understand how such ordinary living conditions could attract the number one person in Academy City to move in.

"In short, some necessary security expenditures are inevitable."

"We need to install more surveillance equipment on the floors, and place pressure alarm systems in the rooms. In order to prevent the enemy from breaking in, even the walls should be included."

Jingce looked at him in a daze, her mind in a mess, and only the warmth from Dolly in her palm gave her some comfort.

It seemed a little ridiculous to use these little moves to defend against Accelerator, but it was enough to provide a little sense of security, and at least give her more time to contact help.

Obviously, the psychological comfort cannot eliminate the tension in the guard's heart, but it does reduce the possibility that the other party will take the wrong response and cause serious consequences.

If there is enough time, Jingce Kanchu can also get a few dog-shaped robots suitable for guarding the house. Anyway, she knows the locations of several weapon production lines under the Anbu "staff" she used to work for.

Although the output of this type of intelligent small robot is not high and may not be produced immediately on the production line, she is very clear about the location of the finished product inventory and can put it into use after a little debugging.

The more you do it, the easier it will become to fleece the dark forces.

Moreover, she was not too worried about the Anbu 'personnel' coming to trouble her. Those slow-thinking guys were simply the experimental department of the chairman to verify some 'new toys'. They were not excellent in terms of vigilance and combat level.

His only advantage is that he is very rich. He is much happier than some Anbu workers who barely make a living by taking commissions.

Getting back to the point, Jingce was still extremely hesitant in his heart.

He wanted to stay away from Accelerator, but he couldn't bear to leave the place where he and Dolly had shared memories.

Looking at the current appearance of Jingce, it seems that he is very much like a certain Maru-headed student who still follows the principle of taking a detour when seeing Accelerator. In fact, for most people in Academy City, this is the wise choice.

However, when they were confronting each other before, Accelerator could have taken action directly, but he just walked away on his own. This probably also means that the other party's target would not be himself and Dolly.

But the thought of being neighbors with Accelerator was a little hard for Keiseki to accept.

"Xiaoqu, what's wrong? You've been sulking since just now."

"Is it because of the new neighbor who moved in?"

With one hand being held by the other person, the sharp-minded Dolly immediately noticed the abnormal situation that Jingce was watching.

"Yeah, I mind a little."

Jing Ce seemed to be slightly hesitant, but still nodded.

As long as he looked into Dolly's eyes, he couldn't bear to lie to her, which could also be extended to a certain psychological control.

"Actually, I don't think there's any need to worry. Misaka 20001 is living well with him, which means that the new neighbor is someone similar to Kodori."

Dolly mentioned the toddler-sized Misaka girl following behind Accelerator, thinking hard with a stern face.

Come to think of it, it was the first time she saw Misaka so young, and her noisy appearance was pretty much just like what everyone had said.

Trying to touch the Misaka Network signal on the other person, Dolly knew that the other person was the control center of the Misaka Network after it left the laboratory stage.

"Also, I was born to verify the feasibility of the Misaka Network."

"Once the network is complete, my actual value will disappear. As long as I never connect to the Misaka Network, I will never have any intersection with any experiments, and then I can definitely stay with Kodori and Kosuke."

Dolly suddenly smiled, she had begun to understand her situation.

Dolly, who died in the experiment, is the prototype of all the current sisters. Dolly is just for the preliminary construction of the sharing function of the Misaka network in the final step of the experiment. The transmission of memory and experience is only a part of the experiment.

This is also the reason why she can open her eyes again even though the memory of her own death remains in her head.

"Dolly..."

Jingce Kanqu was suddenly speechless and just nodded continuously.

"Hey, that guy is here too, and Dolly too."

Lying on the railing on the second floor, Miss Lingzi looked down at Misaka Haiyang on the ground with a somewhat condescending look. She could no longer remember how long this Quata party lasted.

Anyway, the sisters' strong interest has not subsided until now. The uniform goggles reflected the faint green light, and the slightly jerky dance moves of the frog in the holographic projection inevitably added some weird atmosphere to the surrounding environment.

This spectacular and bizarre feeling seemed to be never unpleasant to look at, Miss Lingko and Miss Sonoko thought of it almost at the same time.

Except when she was completely cut off from Reiko, part of Natsume Sonoko's thoughts were always on Reiko, which caused her attention to be almost always on the situation of her sisters.

As one of the few outliers in the sea of ​​sisters, Miss Lingzi and Jingce's eyes immediately met at the same time.

"It's the clone of the eighth one."

"But it seems that the technology used to clone Misaka is somewhat different. It should use technical means such as gene splicing. So, Academy City has also conducted experiments on the eighth one."

The first thing that came to Jingce’s mind was this idea.

It was also the first time that she saw this person who was suspected to be the eighth clone.

He is much taller than the eighth, and there are slight differences in his facial features. I just don't know how much of the eighth's abilities he has inherited, and what level of power he can exert.

"No matter how you think about it, that non-mainstream magician who broke into Academy City shouldn't be interested in ruining the sisters' Quata party."

"If I were an invader, I would at least go to the underground streets and cause some damage, disrupting the economic foundation of Academy City or something. At worst, I would demolish one or two parks, leaving everyone in Academy City without parks to visit."

Miss Lingzi turned her gaze away from Jingce, her head full of thoughts about a certain bun-haired girl, and she looked at the sky in a daze.

Besides trying to figure out the 'formula' in her head, she now had to focus on the invading magician.

She has already taken charge of her own student dormitory, as well as the Misaka Apartment, and has also memorized the coordinates of Shokuhou-senpai's safe house building.

Natsume felt disgusted when he thought about the fact that there was such a dangerous guy roaming around where he lived.

Chapter 544: Blasphemy

The invaders from the Roman Orthodox Church naturally had no interest in causing trouble for the Misaka sisters, nor in the Misaka sisters' Quata gathering. It was obvious that the other party was not a member of the Odd Frog Club.

Her target first was the hedgehog-haired boy with the right hand, and then she would focus a little on the others.

Even the psychics that Academy City was proud of were somewhat unqualified. Those who had not been exposed to the power of angels had no qualifications to meet her at all.

Even the so-called number one in Academy City cannot deal with the fluctuations and feedback of the universe itself. Perhaps only the power of angels itself or that right hand can fight against it.

Those who can use or guide the power of angels in a regular manner with the help of specific spells are equivalent to entering a new stage. In the religious group where Feng Qianzhi is located, he can even be called "God's Right Seat".

However, the title of 'God's Right Seat' seems to contain some kind of strong desire or hope.

In this world, the concept of "God" is actually very broad. There are many gods in various religions, and even angels can be called "God", but in Christianity and its subordinate Roman Orthodox Church, the concept of "God" is unique. (In Magical Index, the main members of Christianity are the Puritans of Great Britain, the Mao Xiong Cheng Church, and the Roman Orthodox Church. It is better not to mention the country name. Hope you understand.)

Therefore, this 'Right Seat of God' probably does not refer to standing on the right side of some ordinary angels. Even those big guys who have transcended the ninth level of angels do not seem to be qualified.

It seems that these mere humans have set such a grand goal and tried to stand on the right side of the old man #2￥%￥ (information confusion).

Let's get back to the point. As the protagonists of the current era in some theories, the religious magic groups named after Christianity are undoubtedly the human group most familiar with the use of angelic power, even some newly born phase life forms may be inferior to them.

And the biggest backer behind him, the boss of the heaven phase #2￥%￥ (confused information), is suspected to have surpassed the mere surface demon god and reached a higher level. However, he may not be stronger than the demon god in a real fight.

After all, these surface demons are basically big bugs. From a normal perspective, the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index belongs to the lonely and invincible world of masters.

Standing quietly on the damaged security vehicle, Front Wind's eyes were fixed on the weak enemies who were constantly carrying the wounded.

She did not attack the wounded, nor did she kill anyone.

Because this approach is meaningless, her target has never been these poor people shrouded in technology.

Only by killing Kamijou Touma, killing any valuable people, and then destroying the scientific base, Academy City, would this technology, which numbly follows the laws of nature and has no warmth or emotion, quickly perish under the full-scale attack of the Roman Orthodox Church.

"Until now, I still haven't found Kamijou Touma."

"Aleister, is this your plan as well?"

An exaggerated expression of disgust appeared on his face, and the Wind Ahead began to get tired of this troublesome activity of chasing each other.

Looking for valuable targets one by one and then eliminating them manually is too inefficient simply from an efficiency perspective.

Then, while clearing them out one by one, she would also take undisguised and high-profile actions, utilizing the various reactions of Academy City itself to attract the targets she needed. This plan naturally came to her mind.

Moreover, this behavior seemed to perfectly match her innate ability to use angel magic, and was even more beneficial to her.

However, this trip to District 13 made her notice something different.

Those "companions" who invaded Academy City with her had been dealt with by Academy City for some reason, but at the center of the fierce conflict between the two sides, there seemed to be some strange traces left.

The disappearance of these "companions" still had some impact on Feng Qianzhi. The downside was that there were suddenly more guards who stuck to her like taffy, but the upside was that now the hotspots and traffic of Academy City belonged to her alone.

"Angel power once appeared here."

"This feels like a pagan god. It turns out those guys have such origins."

The Wind in Front spit out the silver cross pendant from his mouth and whispered to himself with concern.

She could sense some traces of angelic power remaining near the park, but due to the passage of time, they had become extremely weak.

At the same time, these angelic powers are different from the various angelic powers circulating in Christianity. They are a kind of power belonging to pagan gods.

Although Feng Qianzhi also has no favorable impression on pagan gods, her feelings towards them are much stronger than those towards science. The motivation that has supported her to this day is to take revenge on science.

Strictly speaking, the status of most pagan gods in Christianity is not high, and they can only be compared with angels. Some members even belittle them as "fairies", even if they are the main gods in some myths and legends.

Just like the fat cat that is now staying beside Natsume Sonoko, if she can develop normally, a mythological system centered on her can also be developed, and Takama-ga-hara will truly become the residence of many gods.

However, until now, she is the only one who has gained consciousness, the so-called subordinate gods have not yet gathered and formed, and even Takama-ga-hara has been occupied by others.

As for the control over angelic power, this fat cat in his prime might not be as good as any angel in the heaven phase, and fell into the embarrassing situation of being inferior to humans in all aspects.

But this is also normal, because the power of the Crusaders in this world of Toaru Majutsu no Index is huge, and the angelic power generated by the thoughts of two billion believers can completely raise the level of the heavenly phase.

"Even the power of a pagan god cannot be defeated so easily. Unless the one who defeats him has the same level of power."

"And to my surprise, this person doesn't seem to be Kamijou Touma."

Qian Qian Zhi Feng narrowed her eyes slightly. She had already obtained enough information from these guards.

Not far from her feet, there was an undamaged security computer that was repeatedly playing the real-time video footage of the park.

Unlike many people on the magic side, Wind Ahead can operate technological products. When she was a child, she and her brother went to the amusement park to ride roller coasters, but the ending was not very good.

The security guards recorded the scene of Natsume Sonoko being suspended in mid-air by the huge black tornado from more than ten different angles, not to mention the many witnesses at the scene.

"The eighth in Academy City is much smaller than expected."

"Although I haven't confirmed it with my own eyes, I can already assume that the black tornado that appeared on the other party was created by science, and it is a blasphemous force that needs to be judged and eliminated."

His face gradually turned cold, and Qian Qianzhifeng did not hide his naked murderous intent at all.

Chapter 545: Honesty

Just because of differences in positions and concepts, people can take up weapons and kill strangers. A world where human beings understand each other is destined to be difficult to achieve.

Even the naive greenhouse lady Natsume Sonoko knows clearly that the first element of protecting herself is to check for possible dangers around her in advance.

However, when a bigger hidden danger appears around you, the activity of checking for danger seems to become unnecessary, and instead becomes a way to protect friends and people you care about.

"I understand, Master."

"I will take care of my health and won't cause any trouble to anyone."

Standing at the door of dormitory 210, with a quiet, shy and elegant smile on her face, Natsume Sonoko obediently saw off the dormitory supervisor who had just finished a meeting at school.

Although she was a little touched that the dorm supervisor came to see her as soon as she came back, Natsume Sonoko still couldn't help feeling a little nervous for no reason. Perhaps it was because the dorm supervisor's majesty had been deeply rooted in everyone's mind.

Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Natsume Sonoko closed her door and stared blankly at the pile of blank "physical examination forms" in her hand. Even the fat cat lying on the sofa lost someone's attention for a short time.

These 'physical examination outing forms' were not only stamped with the seal of their own dorm supervisor, but also with the seal of the Tokiwadai board of directors.

As long as Natsume Sonoko filled out these absence forms, she could come home late or go out during normal classes, exams, or even when the lights in the student dormitory were turned off. For anyone at Tokiwadai Junior High School, this was an unimaginable privilege.

It's a cause for celebration. The privileges of a super-powered person that Natsume Sonoko imagined seem to have finally appeared. This is a super treatment that even Misaka-senpai and Shokuhou-senpai don't have.

"I didn't expect it to become such a big deal... The dorm supervisor actually told the school about it."

"But no matter how you think about it, this is a good thing. I can go out with a clear conscience and I don't even need to jump out of the window to escape."

After a slight pause, Natsume showed a hesitant expression on his face, as if he was evaluating the impact of these 'physical examination forms' on himself.

Her brain suddenly stopped working. It seemed that many things happened today that made her nervous or unbelievable, and she was overwhelmed by them all.

Natsume Sonoko still remembers that when she took the senior who almost died to the hospital at noon, the frog-faced doctor told her that she should start regular check-ups.
