Temperature Control in Academy City

Natsume couldn't help but sigh, trying to explore his other self's thoughts and whispered softly.

Silently paying attention to a girl with a bun who was talking to herself, the fat cat next to her glanced at her lazily, and did not have any opinion on the messy interpretation in the girl's head.

In fact, there is no Miss Hitomi in that space at all. There is only Natsume himself, who is dominated by Hitomi's memories and experience.

After mastering and using the "formula", Natsume's own consciousness completely prevailed, but because of her confused thinking, she had no idea who she was.

"I probably already know what 'Hitomi' meant when she said that Sonoko should understand that there is no difference between the two of them."

"If we exclude the influence of memory and personality, then what is left is the heart and soul. Because of the same soul, the strong desire that Tongzi felt from her heart and soul will sooner or later spread to the current individual."

"In other words, will Sonoko sooner or later follow a similar path as Hitomi, until her personality and life experiences can no longer suppress the true calling of her heart?"

After a yawn, the fat cat jumped onto the desk thoughtfully, messing up Natsume Sonoko's outing list.

No, she had to suppress the emergence of this future. The current garden was too important to her.

Even though Fat Cat didn't know much about what happened after Tongzi sealed him, he knew that her fate was very bad, and the source of it was probably these true calls from her heart.

So if we want to suppress Sonoko's true inner desire, the best way is to make her lazier.

Chapter 548 No Evidence

A building without doors or windows, the darkest corner of Academy City where even light cannot reach.

Hanging upside down in a life support capsule filled with liquid, his skin a sickly pale color, and Aleister wrapped in long silver hair, suddenly opened his eyes.

There was nothing in front of him, but he seemed to be in control of everything, because in his hand was a useful tool called Academy City.

"Those guys can't wait any longer, so... let's use that in advance. Although it's a little early, waiting for unexpected events is also a part of the plan that must be taken into account, and it can also bring unexpected fun."

"But since Misaka 20001 is staying with Accelerator, it seems that they can't use any peaceful means to make Fuse Wind Slash appear."

"Then it's decided to be you, Kihara Suta of the Hound Squad."

Aleister muttered to himself expressionlessly, and an illusory optical screen immediately appeared in front of him, connecting to Kihara Suta who was several kilometers away.

The first step of this plan is to inject the virus into the brain of the last work.

This is somewhat similar to Kihara Gensei's previous actions, but it is far from being comparable to the Second Absolute Ability Project, which is an insignificant project that only collects data. Instead, it is used to expand an imaginary number zone and an aim diffusion field in Academy City.

By spreading the sisters throughout the Academy City, the interconnected Misaka network will form a whole, and an AIM diffusion field aggregate will appear that covers the entire Academy City.

At the same time, using Kazezan Binghua as a theoretical model, the virus-infected Last Order was allowed to open up permissions to forcibly control the Misaka network, artificially induce all the aim diffusion fields in Academy City, and create a scientific angel like "Fuse. Kazezan".

The AIM force field energy covering the Academy City can suppress the normal magic circulation of the magicians, and "Fuse Wind Slash" can directly defeat the opponent.

However, all of this is still in the debugging stage, and there is no way to predict what kind of accidents will occur during the implementation of the plan. Even "Fuse Wind Slash" may not obey the instructions according to the plan.

"This is Kihara Suta."

As the light screen appeared, a respectful male voice was immediately heard around the cabin.

Any unruly researchers would be naturally suppressed when facing Aleister because they were talking to their king.

Aleister, who has mastered the control of archetypes, can deprive the opponent of the meaning of existence with a single word, and deny the existence of the concept of anomalous science.

However, facing this obedient subordinate, Aleister suddenly became quiet and did not issue orders immediately. He seemed to be re-evaluating the part of the plan he was about to execute.

"I suddenly thought of something more interesting. You just stay where you are."

Aleister suddenly said.

"Understood. Beep---"

On the other side, Kihara Suta responded obediently, like an ordinary office worker who was being lectured.

"In fact, the plan to use the Misaka network to release the AIM diffusion field will not succeed. Unless we immediately expel the spy that person left in the third clone and suppress the fierce resistance that will immediately arise from the other party."

"If it's someone like Accelerator, it would be easier to deal with. But for some stubborn people, once they officially choose to appear as her enemy, the impact will last for a very long time."

Aleister's voice appeared again, his gaze still calm, as if he was just stating a fact that was bound to happen.

Although the Unified Council has been involved in many conflicts with the other party, it can ultimately be linked to individual individuals, and will never be linked to him.

More importantly, as long as it is a goal he wants to achieve, there is no possibility of success. This is a curse that has been with him since the distant past.

Of course, not being successful does not mean you will definitely fail. Most of the time, it seems like you will gain nothing and your efforts will be in vain.

To most people, gaining nothing is no different from failure, but it is different for Aleister.

Because when he actively pursues the result of "failure", he will also achieve a kind of "failure" of "failure". And "failure" of "failure" naturally cannot be called success. Double negation means that affirmation does not exist here.

To put it simply, what Aleister really wants to achieve will not be successful, and there will always be unexpected events.

Although he eliminated some of his past 'companions' in this way, he also cut off his future from achieving his own goals.

This is probably the reason why he revised his plans again and again, collected the by-products of failed plans again and again, and then tried to weaken the "accidents" to a certain extent, slowly and patiently guiding everything in the direction he expected.

Any factors that cause accidents are troubles that he needs to solve and deal with. Even the billions of possibilities that exist in him have become troubles.

According to this statement, if Aleister wanted to use the aim field and Wind Slashing Ice Flower to deal with the Wind Ahead, then the final outcome would definitely be that the Wind Ahead would successfully leave the Academy City.

That's why he cares so much about Kamijou Touma, because that right hand won't be affected by this kind of 'bad luck'.

However, if you team up with a guy like this, there will definitely be no good results. Even if Kamijou Touma is not affected, it does not necessarily change the ending.

"You've had similar goals to mine since a long time ago."

"So I've been thinking about a future where I don't do anything, no clear plan, no substantive action, just waiting quietly, but this is also a kind of 'plan', and naturally it won't succeed, there will inevitably be accidents, and then you will die."

The illusory light screen appeared in front of Aleister again, with an image of a girl with a bun on it. However, it was intermittent and a little unstable, probably because the girl over there would occasionally clear out a wave of nanorobots around her.

"Until I can be sure that you are not just a collection of magicians' wishes like Imagine Breaker, but more like a wish or even a miracle itself."

“Anyone who makes a wish to you and has it accepted will eventually achieve a foreseeable real future. It’s just that the length of this wish may be one year or ten thousand years. Most of the time it will be realized in an indirect way, in a way that everyone can accept. Maybe even the world has invested a wish in you and gifted you the power to realize it.”

"And creating 'Fuse Wind Slash' through the Misaka Network is not the only option. Many alternative options have the potential to debug the aim diffusion field to create a scientific angel."

"As for the creation of 'Fuse·Wind Slash', it also fits with your idea of ​​wanting Wind Slash Hyouka to live a normal life. The question is how should I face you next, Natsume Sonoko. I am clearly a character being used, but I have to decide everything according to your preferences, in order to prevent the future in which you abandon my wish from happening."

Aleister silently turned off the light screen in front of him, allowing the wind in front to wreak havoc in the Academy City.

If Aleister's conjecture is really correct, perhaps we can imagine why Hitomi was artificially replaced by Sonoko. Of course, there is no evidence.

Chapter 549: Suspicious Girl

An ordinary office worker named Kihara Suta was waiting patiently downstairs of Accelerator's new apartment building. Behind the semi-transparent glass of the Hound Unit's vehicle, he was calmly watching Accelerator who was coming to a nearby convenience store to buy daily necessities.

After receiving the order from the chairman to be on standby at all times, Kihara Suta knew that the plan to capture Last Order had actually been cancelled, at least the plan on his side had been cancelled.

Although I don't know what changed the chairman's mind, it is indeed a good thing for him.

If there is no follow-up news in the next few hours, he can go home and sleep, and just let his subordinates continue to watch.

He had long since had enough of that self-righteous brat, Accelerator.

"After all, compared to that annoying brat, I would rather take over some other work. Just seeing his face makes me uncomfortable."

"It would be best if someone else could do this kind of thing for you."

Kihara Suta stretched his muscles lazily, lying sideways on the front seat of the car with his hands on his head. The tattoo on his face couldn't help but stretch out, evenly distributed on one side of his cheek.

He is Accelerator's experimental supervisor and has all the information about Accelerator's personality, abilities, movements, habits, etc. He even learned a "killer move that only targets Accelerator" through experiments, which can be called "Kihara Shinken".

As for any of Accelerator's long-range moves, all you have to do is use sound or other means to disrupt them during the gaps in his calculations.

This does not refer to the inefficient way of using sound to interfere with brain operations, which was the "decline in ability" of Natsume Sonoko's previous walkman, but based on the extreme understanding of Accelerator, it can be clearly known that Accelerator is interfering with real things in reality through personal reality.

Once Accelerator chooses to interfere with the outside world through his skin, there must be a process.

Then all you need to do is use air, sound waves, vibrations, etc. to forcibly interrupt this interference before Accelerator's long-range attack takes shape.

In short, it means finding the loopholes in your personal reality and formulas and destroying them before they take shape.

Unfortunately, Kihara Suta just happened to know how to deal with every attack method of Accelerator, and a large number of prepared plans existed in his head.

And if you have the ability to directly see the flow of the aim's diffusion force field, it may be more convenient. As long as you can see through the flow of the ability user's force field, you can naturally predict the opponent's attack and weaknesses in advance.

This attack method is probably the universal version of "Kihara Shinken". It is not limited to Accelerator alone, but can be used on all people with special abilities.

However, the only person besides him who can use this attack method normally is Kihara Nayuta.

"Chief, there has been some unexpected events. A group of little devils have appeared near the street corner."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the other party's goal should also be the last one."

The member of the Hound Unit who was on standby at the back of the carriage spoke up.

He scanned a group of sneaky guys through the instrument. They were sneaking into the surveillance area of ​​the Hound Unit, and their focus was almost the same as their target.

"Ah. Don't worry about them. They must be sent by some director who was so scared that he hid underground."

"It seems that there is not much consensus among the higher-ups, and some people are already scared enough to start those plans on their own."

"The plan to use the Misaka network to counter the invaders is well known to those guys in the Unified Council. After all, it was used to appease people a long time ago."

He touched his forehead indifferently, and Kihara Suta just followed the arrangements of that person from beginning to end.

Since the Excellency had told him to stay where he was, he would not do anything unnecessary.

As for other people's plans to continue, it has nothing to do with him.

"By the way, have you found out who those little devils are?"

Kihara Suta suddenly looked up and asked, his cold eyes made the Hound Unit member who was answering swallow.

"We have found out that the other party is also an Anbu organization, known as the 'Corpse Eater Force' in the sequence."

"They should be the newly recruited ANBU personnel in the past year."

Lowering his head to avoid Kihara Suta's sight, the member of the Hound Unit handed the tablet in his hand to Kihara Suta, on which appeared the detailed information of four girls...three girls and one boy.

"It's really interesting, how dare they do that."

"I wonder if there is Accelerator by the side of Last Order?"

"But it's a good opportunity to collect the latest data on that brat."

There was some interest in his eyes, and Kihara Suta finally felt that tonight was not so unbearable.

For a researcher, this is probably the best thing to do on a boring night.

The four-member "Corpse Eater Team" team breathed a sigh of relief after quietly crossing an ordinary street without finding any enemies along the way.

Until now, everything has been going well.

Because everything was in chaos, we didn't see many of the annoying security guards and discipline committee members, so we just took advantage of the situation and took care of them all.

They had just received a large order from an Anbu middleman.

A big boss behind the scenes wants to hire them to kidnap a little girl. The other party is suspected to have a level 3 ability, but all of them are excellent Anbu who have experienced many battles.

However, they did not get much information, only the location and photos of the target. Because they came in such a hurry, they even looked up the other party's basic information as they walked.

"I always feel that there is something wrong. The middleman's mission this time is too hasty."

"I wanted to finish dinner before leaving, but I was threatened and driven out like this."

The girl called Naru said with some uneasiness while looking at the ordinary apartment building not far away.

Most of the Anbu in Academy City have basically no human rights and will be purged at any time if they don't obey.

But it's really hard and sad work as they don't even allow time for dinner.

"Relax, we are A-rank super-powerful ANBU, not just some street fry you can find anywhere."

"As long as you don't encounter a level 5, don't worry about any opponent. You know, the probability of encountering a level 5 in Academy City is no different from catching a big fish without bait."

The captain Rize Iisu, who was the shortest but stood at the front of the team and wore a strange mask, spoke seriously.

She was a little hungry, but the most important thing now was to complete the task.

"The little girl may have helpers around her. If they are discovered, they will be dealt with according to normal procedures."

Lizawa Iisu turned around and spoke seriously, and the team members behind her nodded in agreement.

As soon as the words fell, several girls changed their formation and began to surround the entire apartment building in groups of two.

"Ah, what's up with those guys?"

Through the glass of the convenience store, Accelerator, carrying bags, stared at several suspicious girls who were trying to climb the outer wall to enter the apartment building.
