Temperature Control in Academy City

The smile on her face grew brighter, and Natsume Sonoko's nervousness instantly dissipated.

Although she knew that the price was the growth rate of her own abilities, Natsume Sonoko was still very happy.

Being too thin is not good either. Health is the most beautiful. She wants to be an excellent young lady.

Chapter 597 Witnesses

She changed back into Tokiwadai's winter school uniform, put on her own branded bag, and tidied her appearance in the hospital bathroom.

Before leaving the hospital, Natsume Sonoko took the time to visit the high school senior whom she had sent there earlier.

The man's stomach was crushed by fragments of the helicopter propeller and he is still in a coma. Fortunately, his life is no longer in danger and the necessary artificial organs are being quickly adapted.

He also took away enough nutrient solution for Natsume Sonoko to use for a week and several spare containers the size of a fingernail from the Ghost Chaser Doctor, and also asked about the specific formula of the nutrient solution.

However, looking at the list of ingredients on the formula that would make one's heart beat faster and one's breathing difficult, as well as the large number of sophisticated instruments needed to make the nutrient solution, the thrifty girl with the ball-head hairstyle decided to rely more on the ghost-chasing doctor from the underworld.

In order to mass produce this special nutrient solution, Natsume Sonoko estimated that it would require the full cooperation of a research institute with at least ten people, and the one-time investment in the purchase of equipment alone would not be less than several hundred million yuan. This did not include other factors such as labor and venue.

With the small amount of scholarship she receives every month, she may not even be able to pay everyone's salary, let alone maintain the normal operation of a research institute.

She originally thought that she would finally live a happy life with financial freedom, but it turned out that her scholarship of over one million yuan was not enough to spend. Is there any hero riding on auspicious clouds and wearing a purple gold crown who can save her from this horrible financial hell?

"This nutrient solution looks so ordinary and so unreliable. Why is the cost of making it so outrageous?"

"What a headache! I really have to keep bothering the doctor now."

Natsume rubbed his big head, feeling helpless, and then silently put these things into his bag.

Natsume Sonoko actually still has some psychological burden about always bothering others.

Although she always asks others for help, it is based on mutual help. As for an adult like the Ghost Chaser Doctor, Natsume Sonoko doesn't know how to help him in return.

And last time, because of what happened to Banri and the others, she and Misaka-senpai almost tore down the doctor's research institute.

"By the way, is there a cheaper way?"

Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but sigh and muttered something.

The poor girl wondered if she could use her own abilities to make the nutrient solution instead of using instruments. Her sensory observation combined with microscopic control might be more useful than those instruments.

However, this approach is definitely not possible in the short term. It will take Natsume a lot of time and energy just to figure out the relevant principles.

The watch given by the Ghost Chaser Doctor is hanging on Natsume's left hand. The cute pink and white look matches the girl's fair skin very well.

The originally transparent cover took on a mysterious deep blue glow, indicating that the nutrient solution contained within it still had most of its effectiveness.

According to the normal process of drug effects fading, it will turn into normal blue, then light blue, and finally the cover will return to its transparent and colorless appearance.

This process can last about twelve hours. As long as Natsume Sonoko changes it once in the morning and once in the evening, she can maintain normal use effects.

As soon as I walked out of the hospital gate, I found that the sky had already darkened and the street lights nearby had already lit up.

Because he got up too late and the physical examination took too long, it was almost time for Mr. Sun to go home from get off work.

After calming herself down, Natsume Sonoko squatted down and buttoned her little leather shoes carefully, preparing to run back to the student dormitory for dinner.

After all, she didn't have the audacity to follow the ghost-chasing doctor to eat the hospital staff meal.

Moreover, the doctor's physical examination was scheduled so tightly that she didn't even have time to eat a bite of the candy and cookies in the office before she left.

If she missed this meal at Tokiwadai Restaurant, she would have to go hungry all night.

The number on her bank card no longer allowed her to think of anything else.

The dignified Miss Tokiwadai took a deep breath, silently calculating the closing time of the restaurant, and soared into the sky the moment she buttoned her clothes, leaving a faint human-shaped air shadow in her place.

The speed of movement in the air still maintained a high subsonic speed, and did not increase significantly due to the exaggerated progress of the brain.

Once you accelerate blindly, the inertia and acceleration alone can tear apart the careless young girl in a short period of time. Natsume Sonoko will not use formulas that she is not 100% sure of.

After a quick calculation of the straight-line distance, Natsume can reach the student dormitory within five minutes and return just in time before the restaurant closes.

Thinking of this, Natsume couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. God was still on his side.

All bad things will eventually work out, just like this dinner today.

But at this time, the bag on Natsume's waist made another noise.

As the zipper of the bag was unzipped, a strange-looking little head popped out from inside.

In order to save recovery time, a certain god who had previously voluntarily fallen into a dormant state has transformed from a tiny, translucent, weak appearance back into a palm-sized cat doll.

The little white wings behind him flapped hard, and he accelerated and landed on Natsume Sonoko's shoulders.

Hey, have you woken up yet?

Natsume was startled by the sudden change, but she pursed her lips and said nothing.

No matter what the fat cat wants to do, it can't stop itself from eating.

And now that the other party has woken up, the things that he and I had agreed on before also need to be put on the agenda.

When they were entangled with each other yesterday, Natsume Sonoko very seriously put forward several conditions to the fat cat in exchange for her tacit consent for the other party to stay by her side.

In addition to not being allowed to hurt anyone at will, the fat cat was also required to apologize to everyone she had hurt, and to expend her energy to help everyone be discharged from the hospital early.

"Good evening, Sonoko."

The god scratched his beard like a cat and spoke to the mortal girl with full majesty.

Her eyes were fixed on the face of a girl with a bun that was full of disgust, but curiosity and concern appeared in her pupils.

As long as she was by the girl's side, she could taste the original flavor of emotions. No matter what the other party's reaction was, the God seemed to enjoy it.

"Do you know what happened last night?"

"I'm talking about the period after I fell into a coma."

Suddenly remembering something, Natsume Sonoko hesitated for a moment before asking.

Speaking of possible witnesses, it seemed that the only one around him was this extremely dangerous guy.

Chapter 598: News of the War

Communicating with a certain god is much more convenient than using language, and the content is so detailed and rich in information that it is astonishing.

The moment Natsume Sonoko opened her mouth, Oomikami's blinking eyes revealed a hint of thought. The next second, a series of dynamic images penetrated the barrier of the human body and were directly transmitted into the mind of a certain girl.

Frightened by the other party's overly direct approach, Natsume Sonoko, with her nerves tense, subconsciously activated the only force field tornado formula she knew.

However, before she could completely wrap up her body, she couldn't help but fall into the picture of the information transmitted by the other party.

She saw herself falling from the sky, and realized that it was the fat cat who saved her, as well as the tentacles that grew on her back to escape from the wind in front of her.

She also saw the strange man who claimed to be from the stability maintenance force standing in front of her, taking over the defeated Fat Cat and continuing to flee with her.

So many things happened.

She couldn't help muttering to herself, and Natsume Sonoko's heart was beating faster and faster. She didn't seem to have expected that she would encounter so many dangers after falling into a coma.

And that guy called Wind Ahead seemed to really want to kill her, even though he was not familiar with her at all.

The information that followed became extremely confusing. The picture was scattered and messy and was blocked by buildings. One could only see a dazzling light shining in a corner in the distance. A huge sword of light was rampant in the sky, and tall buildings were cut in half, emitting billowing smoke and flames.

At the very end, there seemed to be a scene where the fat cat staggered back to pick up his bag.

“Hey, isn’t this the scene in my dream?”

Natsume Sonoko felt inexplicably that the person looked familiar, and after a while she suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder I had such a strange dream.

But why did the self in the dream become like that, with white porcelain skin covering my entire body, except for the antenna growing on my head.

However, that look seemed to be very much to Natsume Sonoko's liking. It was full of the gorgeous beauty of a technological industrial product. Her skin and even her hair were spotless, physically isolating her from all the unpleasant things in the universe.

"If that's the case, it looks pretty good."

“It’s just like in the comics.”

Biting her lip, Natsume Sonoko suddenly felt that it was not that bad. At least the design was quite in line with her aesthetic taste.

It is impossible to tell from the picture why I suddenly became like that, but it is much better than knowing nothing.

It seemed that she was indeed responsible for a large part of the injuries of Feng Qian, which made Natsume Sonoko feel disgusted.

She originally thought that someone else had done it, but now it seemed that even the building had been demolished by itself. Fortunately, no one asked her to compensate for the loss of the building, otherwise she wouldn't be able to afford it even if she sold it.

"By the way, those ceramic skins are probably aim force fields."

Thinking of the changes that happened to Misaka-senpai, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but mutter to herself.

She turned around and wanted to ask the god's opinion again, but found that the other party's button-sized eyes had been staring at her from the beginning, which made Natsume Sonoko instantly lose interest.

The other party's troublesome look gave Natsume Sonoko a headache, but she couldn't see any bad emotions in it.

All kinds of common sense of human beings cannot be applied to each other, and there will be no ambiguity, admiration, resentment, disgust or other emotions expressing attitudes in their eyes.

Just like when the other party was born, he always liked to look towards the human world, this great god is now just doing repetitive things until one day these feelings gradually fade away.

Natsume Sonoko doesn't think that she is really irreplaceable in the eyes of the Ohmikami. It is better to stay away from such a dangerous life form, but the other party seems unwilling to let her go.

"From now on, you can't cast magic on my head without my consent."

Giving up the idea of ​​asking for the other party's opinion, a certain girl with a bun-like hair who lacked confidence protested seriously with a frown on her face.

If the other party disagrees, Natsume Sonoko really has no choice. She is still a long way from being able to use a force field to protect herself around the clock.

In order to protect the peace of the entire universe and maintain the peaceful life of everyone in Academy City, I must never give up easily.

"Is this a new condition, like the previous ones?"

The stuffed cat on the girl's shoulder changed to a comfortable position, squinted its eyes and yawned.

She doesn't mind having more conditions. Anything that is important in the eyes of humans is meaningless in her eyes.

"Of course."

"I see. As you wish."

.....

With her feet on the floor of the student dormitory, Natsume Sonoko skillfully took out her ID card to verify her identity and finally arrived here before the restaurant closed.

The maids had already started to clear the tableware, leaving only some unattended dishes in the corner of the restaurant.

"Good evening, Natsume-san."

The student with the ball-head hairstyle was blocked by a little maid holding a broom at the gate, and with an anxious look on her face, she had to stop before the finish line.

"Tsuchimikado-san, I'm very sorry about what happened this afternoon."

Thinking of the bunch of missed calls from Tsuchimikado on her phone, Natsume Sonoko apologized hurriedly.

And Tsuchimikado-san looks very angry.

She must be angry, her face had an unnatural blush and her hair seemed to stand up.

"Natsume-san, Natsume-san, this is a huge event."

There was something other than a leisurely tone in her voice today, and Tsuchimika nervously leaned towards Natsume-san and spoke.

"Was what happened yesterday really a war? Everyone in school has spread the news. I'm not in the mood to eat today."

"Natsume-san may not know that there is a force called magic that is preparing to destroy the city where everyone lives. The criminal who caused widespread coma last night was one of them."

Tsuchimika said with great concern while anxiously turning around in circles with a broom in her hand. After a while, she was counting on her fingers and sharing with someone the gossip she had heard from various channels.

He seemed to care nothing about what happened this afternoon, and his whole body and mind were drawn to other things.

"Hey, has Tsuchimikado-san already known about the war?"

Natsume Sonoko finally got some plausible information from the Wind Ahead, but she didn't expect that everyone in Academy City seemed to know it.

"Yeah, I heard that several directors have been killed."

Tsuchimika couldn't figure out who these directors were, but it sounded very serious.
