Temperature Control in Academy City

But what I didn't expect was that when the warden came back in the afternoon, the procedures had already been completed, and these physical examination forms were naturally prepared for regular check-ups.

The frog-faced doctor believed that Natsume Sonoko's body was about to collapse. The nutrients and energy she absorbed from food every day could no longer meet the consumption of her intelligent brain, which was also the direct reason for her rapid weight loss.

If the current situation is not changed, there is no need for Qian Qianzhifeng to take any action, as Natsume Sonoko's brain will kill her body.

However, these "physical examination outing forms" cannot be used whenever Natsume Sonoko wants. They still need the signature of the ghost-chasing doctor, and finally have to be returned to the dormitory supervisor and the school.

If you want to do something secretly, it is very convenient. Just ask the ghost-chasing doctor for help.

"But is it really that serious?"

"I think I'm pretty good. I look better when I'm thinner. Shokuhou-senpai also said I'm cute."

Walking to the bathroom mirror, Natsume Sonoko touched her cheek, which had become so thin that the outline of her bones was visible, and thought a little worriedly.

The girl who feels good about herself is always unaware of the arrival of some hidden crisis. In addition, the trend of weight loss is spreading in the school. Natsume Sonoko, who does not gain weight but loses weight instead, is even a little proud of herself.

Natsume, who has entered junior high school and thinks he is different from elementary school students, has gradually adapted to the daily life of Tokiwadai, where everyone uses cosmetics, buys brand names, falls in love, and holds expensive tea parties.

There is no such thing as learning good or bad things. These are probably some changes that may occur in girls who are about to or are entering puberty. However, it is a little different when it comes to these young ladies in Tokiwadai.

That's why when Natsume Sonoko received the brand-name bag as a gift from Shokuhou-senpai, she looked so happy, and even the distracting thoughts of the passerby girls in her head seemed a little cheering.

"There are indeed some problems with your body. Based on the physical data of a twelve-year-old human girl, you, Sonoko, are already in an extremely unhealthy state."

"Is the excessive power a burden on your body? Yes, just like a normal magician, consuming your vitality to convert it into magic power will naturally affect your lifespan and physical health."

"Although I don't understand the system of users with special abilities in Academy City, it is impossible for the existence of a being with power similar to that of a god to be developed without any side effects."

Before I knew it, the fat cat had already run to the windowsill, staring at what was happening over there with Natsume's eyes wide open.

"Hey, are you eavesdropping on my conversation with the dorm supervisor?"

"Didn't you say you have no interest in ordinary humans?"

Natsume frowned and became a little concerned. She suddenly felt that it was even more inconvenient to carry this fat cat with her.

In addition to the huge dangers that can be felt intuitively from the fat cat, there seem to be some privacy issues involved. Natsume Sonoko doesn't want something around her to monitor her every move.

Considering Natsume's age, the person who did this must be a complete pervert.

Of course, if the scope of surveillance is limited to the two million people in Academy City, the word pervert may not be an accurate description, and the word voyeur would be more appropriate.

"I have no interest in ordinary humans."

"But once I'm connected with you, I can't help but choose to receive this information. This is an emotional instinctive reaction."

"Just like how human beings are controlled by emotions, there will always be situations that go against common sense. You should be very clear about this."

The fat cat came to a stop on the windowsill, landing firmly on all fours.

Then, he paced back and forth in Natsume's dormitory as if he was inspecting his own territory.

However, it seemed that she had discovered some new world. The fat cat stopped in front of Natsume Sonoko's treasure trove - the suitcases stuffed under the bed. Her eyes seemed to be fixed on one of them, and then she showed a look of surprise.

"What do you want to do?"

Noticing the strangeness of the fat cat, Natsume Sonoko immediately spoke.

As long as Fat Cat made any unusual moves, she would react immediately. There was nothing she could do about it, after all, everyone in the student dormitory had returned one after another.

"There is something inside that can help me store strength."

Turning his head and glancing at Natsume Sonoko, the fat cat spoke honestly.

Chapter 546: Bad

The out-of-shape god seemed to have developed a strong curiosity about something in the dormitory.

This made Natsume Sonoko, who was standing by, react immediately and firmly stop any suspicious actions from the other party.

Reaching out a hand and picking up the other person without hesitation, Natsume Sonoko stopped the fat cat from opening the box in a slightly domineering manner.

It’s so infuriating. She hasn’t agreed yet and this is her territory.

A look of confusion also appeared on Natsume Sonoko's face. She could no longer remember what was in her box.

Although I put a lot of my collections into the Discipline Committee 177 last time, the part left in the dormitory is still very large.

However, this kind of thing, as long as you verify it a little, you will know that Natsume will not take the bad guys lightly.

I just unzipped my suitcase and put aside the neatly arranged elementary school uniforms inside, which were also mixed with various small items such as hairpins, stickers, and brooches.

Then an ordinary plastic box appeared in Natsume Sonoko's sight, containing two whitish stones with tooth-like outlines.

It looks so disgusting, is it really a tooth? When did I put it in there?

Obviously, the careless Natsume Sonoko also forgot about this, perhaps it has something to do with her current confused brain.

However, after searching the ocean of memories in his head, Natsume knew that the two white stones came from the Gothic Lolita Letitia, and they seemed to be the so-called elixir that could maintain her immortality for a long time.

Although the elixir of immortality has sustained the other person's life for nearly a thousand years, from the distant European Middle Ages to the present, this is only judged based on the history that Natsume Sonoko and the others can understand.

And judging by some of Miss Hitomi's previous discoveries, even Letili, who had taken the elixir of immortality, was wiped out an unknown number of times by an indescribable force at certain stages, and then reappeared and resurrected again and again, as if she had never disappeared.

The opinions of some beings are constantly conflicting and intersecting in this universe. Weaker conflicts form a series of inevitable destinies, while strong conflicts are even destroying and reshaping the universe where countless lives live.

Once the universe is destroyed and reshaped, no one can be sure that they will still be themselves.

It's like transferring memories and experiences to a clone, and maybe adding the soul. Although it looks the same, there will always be some differences.

And Miss Hitomi was surprised to find for a while that those guys seemed to have gotten tired of the trick of distorting the universe. In order to prevent this exquisite big toy from being damaged and allowing it to develop into all kinds of strange shapes, they even created a "reference point of the world".

Back to the topic, thinking about when they would be useful in the future, Natsume Sonoko put the two white stones in her suitcase.

But as it stands now, these two things are really of no use to her, or seem a bit redundant and take up space.

Immortality is too far away. Natsume Sonoko can't imagine such a long time in the future. In addition, she has a slight obsession with cleanliness, so it is even more impossible for her to eat something of unknown origin.

But now the situation seems to have changed. Natsume raised his eyebrows slightly and grabbed the two white stones in his hand.

Since this fat cat wants it, we definitely can't give it to her.

Although she didn't know what the two teeth or stones were used for, it would definitely not be a wrong idea to hold them in her hands first. She didn't trust the strange fat cat next to her who could transform into a magical girl.

"This is a trophy I took from a weird guy a while ago. This is what you are talking about, right?"

"Strictly speaking, it should be considered as payment for helping with a surgical operation to remove the stones."

Shaking the white stone in her hand, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but show a hint of pride on her face.

Although the operation was prepared by Miss Tongzi, she was the one who performed it in the end, so it didn't make much difference anyway.

“They are definitely the things I noticed.”

"It carries the power of some pagan gods, and has a different origin."

"And they have been sealed by Tongzi. Now they are just like harder stones."

Sitting upright, the fat cat combed his hair and began to speak slowly.

"But for me, these seals and the power of pagan gods can be dealt with."

"These stones are also tainted with the properties of the phase. As long as I spend time transforming them, they can be used as props for me to store the power of the gods. In this way, I don't need to rely on mortals for my power."

Fat Cat said word by word.

"No."

"And according to our conditions, you cannot do anything that would hurt others at will, and you are not allowed to put your power on others."

Shaking her head decisively, Natsume Sonoko instantly rejected the fat cat's unreasonable request.

"For me, divine power is just an innate accessory and is not worth paying attention to. If it is not for entering Academy City, the act of accumulating power has no real meaning either."

"In fact, if I can accumulate enough strength, I can stop the trend of Sonoko's body breaking down and make you healthy again."

"If you, Sonoko, suddenly died, it would be a terrible thing for me."

Miss Fat Cat spoke in a serious manner, not caring about someone's unhappy expression, as if she was just stating a fact.

The human body is too fragile and cannot be compared with energy life. Of course, a certain strong-willed young man can be excluded.

Especially since Natsume-san still looks so thin, he is one of the most fragile among humans.

When Fat Cat thought that her future depended on such a sickly girl, she couldn't help but feel sad, if she could feel sad.

"You don't need to worry about my health. I will definitely live well."

"And I'm already going for a regular checkup with the Underworld Soul Chaser doctor, who is much more trustworthy than you."

Natsume Sonoko said bluntly, preparing to find a small transparent bottle to put the two stones in.

Fortunately, Shokuhou-senpai had just given her a beautiful bag, which was very convenient for her to carry around and she didn’t have to worry about having no place to put it, which perfectly solved her needs.

It was at this time that Natsume Sonoko officially decided to bring the silver bag to school in the future.

Really, what's wrong with her?

With a stack of 'physical examination forms' in hand, Natsume's mood became worse and worse.

Chapter 547: Even Lazier

On the last day of September, a new rule was announced in the Tokiwadai 7th School District Student Dormitory.

In order to prevent students from bringing in dangerous items such as Indian Poker and avoid further serious misuse of technological items, the Tokiwadai Board of Directors and the dormitory supervisors unanimously decided to strengthen the management of unknown technological products in the student dormitories and eliminate the occurrence of danger at the source.

It's not that we have to check students' belongings every day, as that would definitely cause serious collective dissatisfaction. At the very least, a girl who values ​​her privacy rights would definitely write a letter of advice to the Tokiwadai Board of Directors with righteous indignation.

However, the frequency of ward inspections will definitely be increased, and the punishment for students bringing in unknown technological items will also be increased.

As for why these unknown technological items also include cosmetics, weight loss equipment, etc., that is another story.

Fortunately, this regulation had little impact on Natsume Sonoko. Her dormitory was a heavily patrolled area by the dorm supervisor, and she could not see any violations of regulations. If there were any, they would have been moved to the Discipline Committee Branch long ago.

The Miss God next to me should also be considered a dangerous item, but at least she will not be classified as a technological product.

Putting a thick stack of outing slips on the desk, Natsume Sonoko took a breath of fresh air from the window, trying to get rid of all the stress of the day.

However, the more he did this, the more pressure Natsume felt.

Just as she had thought a long time ago, the more she knew, the worse it was, because it would definitely make her unhappy.

Unless you have the courage to bear the pressure and face the future, you will be crushed sooner or later. Unfortunately, Natsume Sonoko does not have all the conditions now.

"By the way, I seem to remember what Miss Hitomi said in that historical space. She said something like, "I understand that there is no difference between Hitomi and I."

"And what's going on with Miss Hitomi wanting to find the meaning of her own existence?"

Natsume Sonoko was staring at the window in a daze, muttering to herself.

She suddenly remembered that Miss Tongzi seemed to have left her more than just the aim field formula.

Natsume Sonoko has always believed that he and Miss Hitomi are two completely different people, with only some intersections in their souls.

But in fact, apart from the differences in personality and memory, can we really tell who is who between the two of them?

The simple concept based on human identity seems unable to adapt to the objective laws at a higher level. Just as Omikami said, memory, personality and even life are things that can be tampered with at any time.

What Natsume doesn't know is that these humans who have been tampered with by the power of angels can even be accepted by human society and live in a logically self-consistent form. To some extent, this can also be regarded as the will of the universe.

If her personality and memories were completely replaced, then Natsume Sonoko could be seen as another Hitomi, after all, the two of them are consistent in soul.

So, when things like memory and life can be tampered with at any time, is there no difference between her and Hitomi?

Whether it is impacted by the vast consciousness of passers-by or constantly tampered with by the power of gods, the results are almost the same. Natsume Sonoko cannot maintain her long-term existence under higher-level or complex forces.

"I don't know what Ms. Hitomi wanted to tell me at the time, but that's probably what she meant. Well, at least that's what I think."

"But even if I master the AIM force field 'formulas', I can't use them all the time. I simply can't afford the huge consumption of computing power. So Miss 'Tongzi' is telling me that I must become an absolute ability user so that I can use the AIM force field to protect myself on a regular basis."

"Only by becoming a person with absolute ability can I continue to exist without having to worry about being transformed into someone else one day by some divine power that comes from nowhere."

Tilting her head, Natsume's thoughts were a little jumpy, but fortunately she had always been like this, so it was nothing strange.

When Natsume Sonoko thought of the endless scene in the phase ocean, her scalp tingled, and she suddenly thought of an even more terrifying future.

No one knows how many "Gods" exist in that ocean, and how many people can use the power in those phases to modify the universe at will.

Perhaps outside the real universe that Natsume is familiar with, gods are worse than dogs, and the strange sight of angels walking all over the ground exists everywhere. The fat cat lady who seems a little superior to him can only be regarded as second-rate stuff.

However, the absolute ability user is indeed very attractive to Natsume. Like many annoying researchers, she is very eager to see the peak of the ability user and has a strong admiration and curiosity about level 6 itself.

"As for the meaning of your own existence that Ms. Hitomi is looking for, it's probably something like a life goal. I really want to know what it is. I don't have such a thing that I want to pursue."
