Temperature Control in Academy City

Even though they were all students of Tokiwadai, Senior Fanfeng, who lived in the student dormitory inside the school garden, did not have the authority to enter the student dormitory where Natsume Sonoko and the others lived.

However, the situation is a little different. There are no such regulations in the dormitories within the school garden.

She asked a maid she knew to help look after her dinner for a while. Before she had even taken a bite, Natsume Sonoko reluctantly got up from the dining table and hurried to find Senior Fanfeng.

She still cares about helping Miss Ghost get her body back, and is much more serious than she was at the beginning.

"Sorry, I'm late."

With a pair of thin short legs, he finally jogged to the entrance of the student dormitory. Natsume Sonoko waved in the direction of the entrance from afar and said.

After all, it's not in your own dormitory 210, so it's better to run around the student dormitory hall. The matron may come out of her office at any time.

Moreover, she had only run a few dozen meters, but the frail, sickly and physically inactive girl was already out of breath. Her physical condition was undoubtedly in much worse condition than before.

Although he was restricted by the electrode collar on his neck and was receiving nutrition from a watch-type therapeutic device, he could only barely maintain his current physical condition and prevent it from deteriorating further.

If combined with appropriate dietary supplements, it would be possible to maintain a relatively normal intake and consumption range, and perhaps even have a surplus.

But it is still not enough for growing girls.

Girls of her age are in great need of nutrition, and these tiny surpluses probably cannot support the needs of physical growth.

If she missed the current growth period, Natsume Sonoko would probably have a hard time growing taller and would have remained a short 1.45 meters.

This possible future obviously makes a certain bun-head very upset.

Sometimes she also wants to become a tall and beautiful girl, just like Misaka-senpai and Shokuhou-senpai.

"Hello, Natsume-san."

With her hands folded in front of her waist, her gorgeous princess curls fell heavily around her skirt.

Senior Fanfeng still looks elegant in her winter school uniform and maintains a normal young lady's demeanor at all times. She is worthy of being a model for Natsume Sonoko to study hard.

However, there was a hint of concern and anxiety on the senior's face, and she seemed to be very concerned about the information that Natsume Sonoko had provided before.

While the two young ladies were staring at each other, an invisible ghost lady was flying restlessly above their heads, looking around curiously at the unfamiliar environment.

This was probably Miss Ghost's first time coming to the external student dormitory in the seventh school district, and she couldn't help but want to compare the differences between the two Tokiwadai student dormitories.

However, what Miss Ghost cared about more than the student dormitory was a girl with super powers. After a while, she landed behind Natsume Sonoko and poked the girl's bun with her imaginary fingers as if mischievously.

Hehehe, Xiaoyuanzi is so cute.

It is short and small, like a doll.

"That's pretty much the situation. I, along with a few other girls, found some research institutes where Miss Ghost might be."

"If Miss Ghost's body has not died until now, then the most likely possibility is that it is only in these institutions. Of course, it is also possible that Miss Ghost's body was transferred artificially, but if we have the list, we will definitely be able to find clues as long as we check them one by one."

Natsume Sonoko tried hard to organize her words, and then explained to Senior Fanfeng in a serious manner.

She also noticed the AIM force field mass flying around her. Miss Ghost was still as energetic as ever today.

"Oh, by the way, the specific information has been sorted out."

"I'll contact Kihara-san right away."

As she spoke, Natsume Sonoko used her cell phone to contact Kihara Nayuta, who was still in the research institute, and asked her to send all the relevant information over.

Although she had almost memorized all the information and was able to quickly remember some intelligence and knowledge, it was obviously not convenient to recite the entire text when giving information to others.

Having said that, Natsume Sonoko is not planning to investigate those institutions today.

She was also busy dealing with the requests for help from those bad boys. The letter for help that was suddenly stuffed into her hand was a bit scary, so Natsume Sonoko had to take it seriously.

If anyone saw a letter for help on the street, their first reaction would probably be to notify the security guard.

Although Natsume Sonoko also had the same idea, the bad boys' requests for help undoubtedly made her very hesitant. It was obvious that the target of the other party's request was herself, not the security guards and teachers.

"What? My identity information?"

"Xiao Run, Xiao Yuanzi, I want to take a look too."

Miss Ghost, who was still studying the bun hairstyle, suddenly became anxious. Her body quickly moved like smoke, and then she squeezed in between the two young ladies with great interest and stared at Xiao Yuanzi's mobile phone.

"There are so many people, who would I be?"

"This name looks pretty good. Oh, I kind of like this one too. It's so hard to choose."

"Hey, Xiaorun, which name do you think will be mine? Actually, I think I should have a name as nice as Xiaorun..."

The chattering ghost lady behaved like teenage girls, constantly muttering beside Senior Fanfeng's ear.

Even a well-educated girl like Senior Fanfeng couldn't help but show some helplessness. It seemed that even an excellent young lady could not handle someone who was too lively and noisy.

Although the information showed that Miss Ghost was most likely a patient sent to Academy City for treatment, her noisy appearance did not seem like that of a patient at all.

So, this is actually Miss Ghost's true nature revealed after she left her sickly body.

"Anyway, let's investigate them one by one."

"Thank you very much for your help this time, Natsume-kun."

Nodding slightly to express her gratitude, Senior Sister Fanfeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if she had finally obtained some clues worth investigating.

This has helped her a lot.

Even if nothing is found out in the end, it is still necessary to visit Natsume Sonoko's friends to express their gratitude after completing the investigation.

However, when Fanfeng Runzi was carefully looking through the list of information in front of her, her eyes suddenly fixed on one of the names and research institutions.

Chiya Yuuri, and the talented workshop.

Her memory suddenly flowed to the past. She remembered that at that time, in the evolution project inside the artificial room, there was a girl who always wore a heavy learning device helmet with most of her face buried in the helmet.

Senior Sister Fanfeng could no longer remember what the other person looked like, because she had never seen his true appearance under the helmet.

Moreover, because Yuuri Chiye's lungs were very weak, one of the ventricles of his heart had difficulty functioning properly, and he had to stay in the ward for a long time to recuperate.

Apart from sneaking into the ward a few times when the adults weren't paying attention, the contact between Hokaze Junko and Xiao Qianye only existed in the brief time when the other was out and conducting experiments.

The "ghost" that met Hokaze Junko.

The subject of the "Internal Evolution" test in the third laboratory of the "Cai's Artificial House" has been staying in the ward for long-term treatment because of lung disease (the heart is also affected).

The ability is to create an avatar with water as the medium, and to assist in the physical and mental control ability "ghost body connection". Possessing the ability to cut off the AIM diffusion field from the body and make it independent, it is the core of the "ideal ability" experiment, and also has the nature of "possession".

Chapter 652 It Doesn’t Matter

Memories quickly emerged in her head, and an unnatural look flashed across Senior Fanfeng's face.

When I recovered from the long recollection process, I found that Miss Ghost and Natsume were looking at me with strange expressions.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted."

Senior Sister Fanfeng's cheeks inexplicably turned red, and it took her a while to regain her composure.

During the ten days of contact with Miss Ghost, she had completely missed the possibility that the other party was Xiao Qianye.

In addition to the fact that Miss Ghost did not carry any equipment such as a learning device helmet, it was also related to her overly noisy and playful personality.

This is completely different from the quiet girl in Fanfeng Runzi's memory who always stayed quietly in the corner and only had a smile on her face.

"But could Miss Ghost really be Xiao Qianye?"

"Is it really possible?"

Senior Sister Fanfeng shook her head and muttered softly, and couldn't help but look at Miss Ghost's whole body.

The purple princess curls swayed left and right as she moved, and Senior Sister Fanfeng began to circle around Miss Ghost's illusory body, as if she wanted to overlap Miss Ghost and Yuri Chiya in her memory.

Their bodies seem somewhat similar, both are the thin and weak type, and their hair color seems to be the same, but black hair is too common in Academy City...

As it turns out, judging from the appearance alone, no useful information can be found.

And judging from the fact that the other party has been calling him Xiaorun, which is an overly intimate name, it seems that he is somewhat similar to Xiao Qianye back then.

But Miss Ghost seems to be the type who always adds the word "small" to everyone she sees, such as "Xiao Yuanzi" and "Xiao Meiqin", and there is no conclusive evidence.

"Hey, Xiao Qianye?"

"Sister Fanfeng knows the identity of Miss Ghost?"

With a somewhat surprised expression, Natsume Sonoko asked immediately.

Events seemed to be developing in an unexpected direction all of a sudden.

It seemed to be going much more smoothly than expected. Even a research institute hadn't investigated yet, but Senior Fanfeng already had an important clue.

"It's very possible."

"Normally, Xiaorun is not the weird uncle who keeps looking at others."

Miss Ghost stood beside a girl with a bun on her head, her hands on her hips, agreeing as if it was a matter of course. Her face was full of curiosity, and she was very interested in Xiaorun's new discovery.

Although I am not on the same channel with Xiaoyuanzi and the other party cannot hear what I say, it is still very important to stay in sync.

"Actually, I can't be sure. After all, there is no direct evidence to prove it."

"But I'd like to believe one thing. Miss Ghost likes to stay by my side because you are a friend I once knew."

A serious expression appeared on her face, and Hokaze Junko thought for a long time before speaking.

"Is he Xiaorun's former friend?"

"But Xiaorun, you never thought of me!"

As soon as Senior Fanfeng finished speaking, Miss Ghost opposite her responded angrily.

However, considering that Xiaorun doesn't seem to be a very smart person, he is being ordered around by that bad woman named Xiaocaoqi, and all he can think about in his stupid head is how to please her all day long.

I strictly abide by the school rules and never use perfume or cosmetics.

Thinking of this, Miss Ghost's temper disappeared almost completely. She should not ask too much of her own Xiaorun.

The cross-dimensional chats among the three people were always full of strange things. The only one whose information was not flowing smoothly was probably the girl with the bun. Fortunately, the girl's smart brain was still able to figure out most of the things.

Standing at the entrance of the student dormitory with her head tilted, Natsume Sonoko was reading the news about the girl named Yuuri Chiya with great concern.

It can be almost confirmed that this girl is most likely the real body of Miss Ghost, and she is also a friend of Senior Fanfeng in the talent room.

In fact, Natsume Sonoko also agrees with what Senior Fanfeng said.

If they were not former friends, why would Miss Ghost keep clinging to Senior Fanfeng?

According to the usual thinking in horror movies, ghosts often appear around the people or things that they were most obsessed with during their lifetime. Although Miss Ghost is not a real ghost, it makes perfect sense from a logical point of view.

Of course, there is still no substantial evidence until now.

Having said that, Natsume Sonoko suddenly had a very strong feeling in her heart.

From the few words that Shokuhou-senpai had said before, and the information about Indian Poker obtained from Kihara Nayuta, a research institute called Saigoku-kun appeared.

It is very likely that Miss Ghost has received treatment and various experiments in the artificial room.

Even if two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, they seem to end up in the same place in the end.

However, as far as Natsume Sonoko knows, the research laboratory where Shokuhou-senpai previously worked seems to be a little different from that of Hokaze-senpai and the others. They probably belong to different laboratories of the same research institution.

Shokuhou-senpai belongs to the external brain replacement project of Saigo's laboratory, while the laboratory where Hokaze-senpai and Yuuri Chiya are located is another project team called internal evolution.

"Then the most likely cause of Xiao Qianye's current condition is that one failed experiment."

Senior Fanfeng frowned slightly, and some bad memories from the past came back to her mind.

"What experiment?"

Natsume Sonoko asked with some concern.

"An experiment to make Chisato become a psychic. Just like Natsume-san and the Queen, Chisato also has the potential to become a psychic."

"It's just that an unexpected ability outburst occurred during the experiment, resulting in many people being injured or even killed. Xiao Qianli fell into a coma from which she could not be awakened, and became a vegetable."

"And when the artificial room was completely closed, Xiao Qianli should have been transferred to another cooperative institution for life-support measures."

Senior Fanfeng thought for a moment and said.
