Temperature Control in Academy City

There are no surveillance videos or places that are easily captured by satellites around the Seventh School District. Apart from the intricate dark alleys where bad boys gather, there are probably only places like parks.

Moreover, the bad boy A seriously doubted that even if they had deliberately chosen such a remote corner, they might not be able to escape the tracking and surveillance of the adults.

But after all, they are just bad boys and they are powerless. The adults should not spend any energy to monitor these little guys all the time.

"Komaba, she's almost the eighth one."

"But I heard that those young ladies all live in dormitory with strict rules. Rumor has it that there are retired special forces warden specially hired from abroad who are familiar with hundreds of modern weapons and the art of patting the head to kill. It would be too bad if she is unwilling to go out at night."

The bad boy A, who was hunched over, moved slightly closer to the strong man next to him who seemed not to be affected by the low temperature at all.

A body shape similar to that of a gorilla can always bring some warmth and security to people. Even someone like him who is about to be abandoned by the society of people with special abilities can find his place again.

Because of the other party's existence, "Skill Out" will almost never choose to kill, but there is no way to resist the pressure exerted by Academy City.

Between the two choices of rejecting Academy City and causing one's companions to be eliminated, and submitting to Academy City and becoming the other party's killing tool, the best solution is to let someone else bear this pressure.

“When you plan to rely on others, you naturally have to consider the possibility of being rejected.”

“You should be very clear about this, Hamazura.”

Komaba Reidu did not comment, but spoke in a calm voice.

He had some expectations for the eighth one. People who were willing to lend a helping hand to the weak could always gain the favor of others, but he did not pin all his hopes on the other party. People who held such naive ideas would not be able to survive in the gray area of ​​Academy City.

"Of course I know that."

"It's just that for supporting characters like us in Academy City, we don't have any choice. The best outcome is to stay in a dark corner and slowly ferment. But if we can have someone to help, it will definitely be much easier when it ferments."

"It's impossible to pray for the big shots to help, so the only thing we can do is to find ways to change the situation."

Delinquent A, the boy named Hamazura Shiage, rubbed his nose with his hand and spoke in a serious tone.

The incompetent have their own ways, and it is only natural to make appropriate use of the eldest lady of Tokiwadai.

And according to the information provided by the Academy City officials, the person they want to deal with is one of the representatives of the outside world's "recycling movement", the parent of the railgun Misaka Mikoto. So asking for help from the eighth person who is also from Tokiwadai is naturally the best choice.

"If we really do something like that according to Academy City's request, there will be no turning back no matter how you look at it."

"At least whoever did it will definitely be finished."

Without saying anything else, Hamazura Shiage couldn't help but think.

He didn't think that he could get away with killing the woman named Misaka Misuzu. Maybe he could save most of the 'skill out' members, but the one who did it would most likely be eliminated.

A single railgun is worth more than all of them combined. Even without considering other factors, if they just want to appease the wrath of the railgun, they will not have a good ending.

The mysterious black and white witch stood high in the sky, her wide flowered sleeves swaying gently with the slight movements of her arms, and behind her was the vast sky when the moon was dark and the stars were sparse.

A hint of coldness slowly floated around her cheeks, and the hem of her skirt, which was dotted with crystal sequins, flashed a faint halo from time to time.

Before he knew it, a white mask quickly spread along the sides of his ears to the tip of his nose, leaving only an area at the position of his eyes for normal vision, perfectly concealing his figure and appearance behind something.

It feels pretty good.

Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but comment on her new outfit. Although it was full of a certain chuunibyou vibe, it was completely different from her usual appearance. Even acquaintances wouldn't be able to recognize her at all.

Of course, it seems to have no effect in front of people who already know her identity, such as the two bad boys that Natsume Sonoko is about to face.

"It's time already. It looks just right."

Natsume Sonoko, who had rushed to the scene, stretched her arm out from her sleeve and subconsciously glanced at the time on the watch-type therapeutic device.

Not too early or too late, we arrived at the scene on time.

"Are you in any trouble?"

"As far as I can remember, there aren't any attacks by people without abilities anymore."

The little leather shoes stepped on the soft dead branches, making a creaking sound, and Natsume Sonoko said with some concern after landing steadily on the ground.

I could hear the two people whispering from a distance. What supporting roles and fermentation were they talking about? It was really confusing.

But she probably understood one thing, that these bad boys were indeed in trouble.

But she wouldn't help with everything. If the other party's trouble wasn't as urgent as the SOS in the help letter, she would get angry.

"Is it the eighth one?"

He was startled by the voice behind him, and when Hamazura Shiage turned around, all he could see was a strange gothic girl wearing an ice mask.

This strange outfit made Hamazura Shiage's pupils shrink, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

I've heard that Academy City's esper users are all eccentric and have strange personalities, and it looks like the eighth one has a variety of hobbies.

"It's me."

Natsume Sonoko nodded slightly, her dull eyes projected through the small hole reserved, and suddenly there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"It's like this, we've encountered a terrible thing here, but there's nothing we can do about it."

"Komaba and I thought that if you, the eighth one, could help, maybe something terrible could be avoided."

Without any hesitation, Hamazura Shiage quickly took out a document from his pocket.

Chapter 656: Stern Face

"Avoid something terrible?"

Looking up at the bad boy A who was touching the back of his head and looked like a fool, Natsume Sonoko's eyes were filled with some inexplicable emotions.

It was difficult for her to understand the extent of the "terrible things" that the bad boys talked about. For people with super powers, the degree of understanding and acceptance between the two sides might be completely different.

However, there is still a certain consensus among them, for example, hurting others or even killing people can be attributed to a terrible degree.

Without much hesitation, Natsume Sonoko subconsciously stretched out her hand.

Although she was suddenly called to such a remote and unfamiliar corner by a letter for help, the girl with a bun did not show her emotions at this time. She still cared a lot about other people's requests for help.

A ball of materialized air spun around obediently on the spot, skillfully rolling up all the information from the other party, and then was firmly grasped by someone.

She now really wanted to see what kind of trouble had caused these bad boys to contact her as the Discipline Committee member.

Even though she is the kind of discipline committee member who doesn't bother to take care of anything, she still has some deterrent effect no matter how you think about it. Asking her for help will undoubtedly involve huge risks.

"I see. It's because I was a stalker and a voyeur, and then I was caught by someone by accident."

"Before being sent to the security building by others, do you want to surrender yourself to the security teachers through me?"

"But it's useless. Even if you turn yourself in, you still have to do voluntary labor and community service."

A look of sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared on her face, and Natsume Sonoko couldn't help muttering as she had some strange ideas in her mind.

The information the other party gave her contained some photos and information, and even in the very dim light around her, she could see a rough outline of a woman.

Having said that, if the other party really bothered her with such a trivial matter, then there might be something interesting to watch next. She was not a naive person who could be easily fooled.

"What are you talking about? Why do we play such strange roles in your mind? Even delinquents don't do everything."

"When most people see this kind of information, combined with our previous conversation, the first thing they would think of is that the woman in the photo is in some kind of danger."

He immediately clenched his hands into fists, and the bad boy A's head was filled with black lines. He suddenly felt that the eighth place was not as reliable as he had imagined.

However, the fear they had for the eighth person suddenly disappeared at this moment. They just felt that the eighth person's opinion of them was very bad, and it was obvious that there was some kind of prejudice in it.

Such a junior high school kid is really annoying.

"Eh, is that so?"

"Sorry, sorry."

The pale mask continued to emit a biting coldness. Natsume Sonoko's little face covered by the mask suddenly turned red, and her thoughts gradually became a little abnormal.

Because her own abilities and perceptions make it easy for her to pry into other people's privacy, Natsume Sonoko's obsession in this regard seems to be getting worse, and she can always associate it with some things that are seemingly there but are not.

But sometimes this kind of voyeurism is unavoidable.

Gathering information and observing the surrounding environment through her own abilities are both beneficial to her, and people with abilities cannot avoid using their abilities. It can only be said that she has some bottom line and will not do meaningless observations.

Having said that, the morals of people with special abilities are usually quite different from those of normal humans.

This is probably a whitewashing of some of the behaviors of the capable group, but for those who are really in it, they will know how difficult it is to limit themselves.

In Academy City, most of the people with super powers who cannot control themselves have already reported to the Anbu.

"No need to apologize."

The bad boy A said weakly, and immediately held his forehead with one hand, with a helpless expression on his face.

There are only a few dim landscape street lamps around the forest park, and only three or four ancillary buildings of the park are two hundred meters away.

Because the light was too weak, Natsume Sonoko deliberately refracted the surrounding light together. The originally dim area suddenly became bright, allowing the girl with the bun to see the person in the photo clearly.

"Hmm... I remember this was a photo of Misaka-senpai's mother."

After ending the previous bad topic somewhat awkwardly, Natsume Sonoko habitually supported her chin with one hand, and a complex emotion of confusion and surprise suddenly appeared on her face.

The woman in the photo is wearing designer clothes. She looks to be in her thirties but her skin is still well maintained. She has smooth brown hair and a proud curve that is completely different from the flat figure of Misaka-senpai....

After just a quick glance, Natsume Sonoko was basically certain that the information provided by the bad boys in front of her was all related to Aunt Misaka Misuzu, from photos to various text materials.

The home address is Shimokitazawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. Where is this? Natsume Sonoko is not familiar with it at all.

And her husband is Misaka Tabika, oh, he's Misaka-senpai's dad.

Out of inexplicable curiosity, Natsume Sonoko unknowingly turned to the last page of information.

Natsume Sonoko actually knew a lot about Misaka-senpai's family situation. She had come into contact with this aunt several times during the Daihasei Festival.

At this time, the guy with a bun on his head finally put on a serious face and looked at the two bad boys in front of him with an inquiring look.

She remembered that Aunt Misaka Misuzu had always lived outside Academy City, and it was impossible for her to have any connection with the bad boys in the dark areas of Academy City.

It would be understandable if Aunt Misaka was a person with super powers like my senior on Bilibili, but whether from my own memory or the information in front of me, this Aunt Misaka is just a weird housewife who went to college in her thirties.

The only thing that has anything to do with Academy City and the community of people with special abilities is probably the fact that she gave birth to a daughter with special abilities who is still somewhat underdeveloped.

In this case, if Aunt Misaka Misuzu might encounter any trouble, it must be related to Senior Misaka.

"That's right, this is indeed the parent of the Railgun. Likewise, this is what Hamazura and I want to tell you, the eighth one."

"The people in this file are about to be in danger."

Komaba Reid, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke.

Due to the height difference between the two people, he had to lower his head to barely look directly into the other person's eyes hidden behind the mask.

However, the tall stature like a gorilla does not bring him any advantage. The short girl in front of him is the one standing at the top of Academy City, and is the one that Komaba Reito and the other person believe can help them.

One hundred words one ...

Chapter 657 Humanoid Female Tyrannosaurus

There is a strange glowing area in the dim night. Under the soft light gathered by some people, several shadows of different heights stretch to the end of human vision.

The girl named Natsume Sonoko made eye contact with the tall bad boy opposite her. An expression of surprise flashed across her face, and then she began to think about the things in the other person's words that made her pay attention.

She had tried very hard not to imagine in this direction, but in the end she still ended up back to square one.

This city will never make people feel bored, but the events that happen are always the same. Is hurting others really that fascinating?

Every time she heard similar news, Natsume Sonoko felt more and more depressed. This was not the future she expected.

"You mean someone wants to attack Aunt Misaka Misuzu?"

"And for some very motivated reasons, the two of you learned about this and came here to tell me the information."

The strange girl wearing an ice mask had an expression that made it hard to see her facial expression. Her tone of voice remained calm, but she quickly summarized the general outline of events in her head.

Before coming here, Natsume Sonoko had already prepared herself mentally and would not lose her composure just because the person involved turned out to be the mother of her classmate.

In fact, no matter whether the people affected are delinquent boys or a college housewife in her thirties, Natsume Sonoko has tacitly agreed to take the initiative to intervene in their affairs this time. She is the type of person who cannot ignore other people's requests for help.

The best way to resolve this kind of trouble, apart from drawing a clear line between yourself and these guys who always bring trouble, is to take the initiative to deal with the problem quickly.

But no matter what, she still cares about the information she got this time. She still cares about Misaka-senpai's mother. Natsume Sonoko doesn't want to see Misaka-senpai's sad expression at all.

Moreover, Misaka-senpai has just recovered from the huge memory of her younger sisters' deaths. If it happens again, Natsume Sonoko thinks that Misaka-senpai might turn evil again.

Even though she was now 70% to 80% sure that she could subdue the evil-turned Misaka-senpai in the first place and prevent her from being sent to a juvenile reformatory afterwards, this was not the result she wanted at all.
