Temperature Control in Academy City

Thanks to reading Hojo Shizuko's memories and getting some information from a phone call with Sonoko, although Shokuhou Misaki has not seen the situation on Miss Ghost's side with her own eyes, she knows more about it than Hokaze and the others.

After just a moment's thought, an extremely troublesome question popped up in Shokuhou Misaki's mind.

If the current 'ideal ability' experiment continues, it will inevitably gradually cover the entire Academy City and involve everyone.

But if you choose to end the experiment or freeze it as it is, you will face the situation where Miss Ghost loses her memory or her body cannot wake up.

Freezing the experiment seems to be the most acceptable of the three options, keeping everything as it is.

However, even Xiao Yuanzi knew that this was impossible, as Miss Ghost had assimilated the force fields of hundreds of people into her body.

Even if the experiment is not actively started, the degree of assimilation will slowly increase over time. Miss Ghost will become more and more powerful due to the continuous supply of force field, and may even affect the assimilated people in turn.

The only way to sever the connection between Miss Ghost and the person with assimilation ability is to actively end the experiment, but this also doesn't work.

"It's really a headache. In the end, the only way is to summon the gods and make a wish."

Some thoughts suddenly flashed through her head, and Shokuhou Misaki muttered somewhat unwillingly.

She tried to find a feasible solution in her mind, but she was still at a loss.

Even if she went back and read all the memories she got from Kihara Gensei, she might not be able to find any useful information. She knew too little about aim fields.

Then collecting all seven dragon balls and summoning the dragon is undoubtedly the most convenient way. You only need to make a wish to let Miss Ghost return to her body.

After Miss Ghost returned to her body, the elements that constituted the experiment no longer existed, and everything ended naturally.

But she had clearly given up the idea of ​​doing anything with this "ideal ability" in front of her, and in the end she still had to achieve her goal by trampling on others.

This made Shokuhou Misaki very uncomfortable, as if her persistence had become an obstacle to saving others.

The corridor of the abandoned building was a long and narrow straight line, and a large number of security robots had lost power and were lying on the ground in a mess.

Due to being closed for a long time, there is always a faint musty smell in the air. This is a dark corner where even the sun cannot reach.

At this moment, in the aisle, a strange beautiful girl with a bun was dragging a gorgeous gray-white long skirt. She carefully stopped three or four meters away from Shokuhou-senpai, and her big amber eyes looked up and down at the girl with chocolate-brown hair.

Is this person Mitsuari Ayuu-senpai?

No, I shouldn’t call her senior sister. She is now a kidnapper.

Because she is a narrow-minded person, Natsume Sonoko is very clear about such matters.

"Are you the criminal?"

Unable to think of how to address the other person for a moment, the girl with a bun-haired look on her face looked scrutinizing, and it took her a while to speak.

The other person was wearing an ordinary Tokiwadai winter school uniform, which seemed to have some minor modifications made to the waist and abdomen, so that it could fit the body curve of the girl with chocolate-brown hair tightly, making her look both well-proportioned and decent.

She also had a nameless brand-name bag hanging around her waist. The shoulder strap was made of soft, high-end fabric, and no expensive precious metals were used. It was completely different from the bags that Natsume and her classmates carried.

Chapter 678 No Peace

It was the first time that Mitsuari Ayu, the kidnapper, had looked closely at the rumored eccentric No. 8.

The first impression was much better than expected. At least she didn't have the condescending arrogance of Shokuhou Misaki, nor did she have the oppressive feeling that most espers have. Except for the special clothes she wore and her shorter stature, she was almost the same as any other junior high school girl you'd see on the street.

However, the other person's entire face was filled with naked vigilance and evident dissatisfaction, just like a porcupine that puffs up its belly and becomes round when encountering an enemy.

Unfortunately, since there was not much flesh on his cheeks, this deliberate targeting of himself seemed a little funny. The eighth person in front of him seemed to be more malnourished than the intelligence said.

After just a quick look at Natsume Sonoko's face for a while, Mitsuari Aiyu came to a relatively objective conclusion.

The other party really seems to be the type of person whose thoughts can be easily seen through by others. No wonder he was easily defeated by someone like Shokuhou Misaki who is good at playing with people's minds. It's basically a dimensionality reduction attack.

In addition to the existence of the ability of psychological control, when she first started planning to restart the experiment, Mitsuari Ayumu had speculated on the possibility that the eighth person was controlled or influenced by Shokuhou Misaki.

Judging from the normal behavioral logic of people with super powers, it is unlikely that they would have a good relationship.

The development of personal reality will magnify the various shortcomings and advantages of character to a certain extent. For example, people who already lack a sense of security will care more about their own safety, people who cannot trust others will become more suspicious and fanciful, and people who desire affection will be out of control if they are slightly approached by others.

Just like Natsume Sonoko is becoming increasingly lazy, probably at first she just wanted to lie in bed for a few more minutes, but as her personal reality developed, she gradually developed the bad habit of trying to get others to work more. There are other problems, big and small, but she seems to always feel good about herself.

It was completely predictable that if these psychologically challenged people were in contact with each other for too long, they would often have a lot of conflicts. And in a small area like Tokiwadai Middle School, these conflicts would probably erupt even faster.

Therefore, the two girls with difficult personalities were able to live in peace for a long time and even had a good relationship with each other. Even Mitsuari Ayu, who had been secretly observing them, found it a bit strange.

In the end, I reluctantly came to the conclusion that Shokuhou Misaki might be secretly influencing the eighth place.

In fact, she also felt that this conclusion was too far-fetched. Even Shokuhou Misaki should not be able to control a person of the same level without making a sound. As long as the eighth person used his brain, he would be able to detect the inconsistencies or errors in the memory.

However, even the railgun was instructed by Shokuhou Misaki to monitor Hojo Shizugo, which was very different from the information circulating in Tokiwadai Junior High School about the discord between the two parties, and this made Mitsuari Ayuu feel a little shaken.

But then again, whether the eighth one was controlled by the psychological control or not made no difference to Mitsuari Aiyu.

As long as there is no way to remove the psychological hints or other psychological tricks that may exist in the eighth person's head in a short period of time, she has no chance of turning the tables.

In front of two people with super powers who were eyeing her eagerly, her efforts were almost in vain.

"Criminal? You could say that."

"I guess I have become a criminal in everyone's eyes in this city."

A dazed look appeared on her face, and Mitsuari Ayumu lowered her face for a long time before she spoke.

In the eyes of adults and students, people like her have long been marginalized in the entire society of people with special abilities, so it doesn't really make any difference to her whether she is a criminal or not. She can hardly find anywhere else to go except this abandoned building where she lives, and now even this building has been occupied by a group of Tokiwadai ladies.

"It's not probably, Mitsuari-san, you have become a criminal."

"It's important to realize your own situation, otherwise everyone will be troubled."

Shokuhou Misaki deliberately moved closer to Mitsuari Aiyu, with sweat on her face, covering her mouth with one hand and whispering something in her ear as if she was whispering.

Shokuhou Misaki seemed to be particularly familiar with this enemy who had lost the ability to resist. And for some reason, she had an inexplicable strange feeling towards Mitsuari Ayumu, as if she was looking at another version of herself.

Perhaps because both parties have similar abilities and pasts, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but have a sense of déjà vu of their overlapping lives. However, this overlap ended the moment she became a psychic, and the other party would never be able to catch up with her.

Natsume Sonoko, who was standing aside, opened her mouth slightly. It seemed that Shokuhou-senpai had a good relationship with the criminal. It seemed that there would be some problems with the plan to send the criminal to the security building early tomorrow morning.

However, considering Natsume Sonoko's acceptance, leaving it to Shokuhou-senpai is also an option.

Her persistence in this regard was not as great as imagined. Sending the person to the security building was just Natsume Sonoko's most time-saving, labor-saving and efficient way to deal with the aftermath of the incident.

"Queen~~"

Just as several girls with different thoughts gathered together and talked about something, a tall girl with long purple princess curls on her head also followed out from the previous room.

Her movements were several beats slower than that of a girl with a bun who had a radar map. She only reacted when she heard the conversation in the corridor, but her enthusiasm for her queen showed no sign of diminishing.

However, as soon as she rushed out of the door, the enthusiastic senior sister Fanfeng encountered the same problem as Natsume Sonoko before, and her brain had to work quickly.

"Long time no see, Mitsuari-san."

Trying hard to keep a calm expression on her face, Hokaze Junko looked at the chocolate-haired girl who was so close to her, gritted her teeth and then spoke.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't treat her former friend as a criminal.

But the moment she saw him again, she felt an indescribable sadness, and even the slight resentment she had towards Mitsuari Aiyu in her heart gradually disappeared.

Although Mitsuari-san was dressed elegantly, she looked tired and lonely, completely different from the optimistic and cheerful look she had when she first came to the workshop.

Someone like Mitsuari-san shouldn't have fallen to this point.

An experiment in the artificial house directly destroyed the future of so many people. Until now, it is still bound to Miss Ghost's memory, making everyone uneasy.

Chapter 679: A Workable Solution

The bed prepared for Miss Ghost's body was an ordinary single bed, which was not suitable for a junior high school girl in her teens in terms of size.

However, after obtaining the patient's consent, Natsume Sonoko squeezed Miss Ghost's thin body into the corner of the single bed without any burden, and occupied the bed prepared for the patient with a satisfied look on her face.

That’s great. Even though we are two people squeezed together now, we don’t seem to feel uncomfortable at all.

In addition to the fact that both she and Miss Ghost are very thin, it is probably also because the girl with a bun has long been accustomed to sleeping on a relatively narrow sofa, and the main purpose is to save space.

Although it is far less comfortable than the sofa in my own student dormitory, now is not the time to be picky. This is called adapting to local conditions.

"Xiao Yuanzi, it's settled. I'll let you rest on this bed. In exchange, you need to lend me this set of clothes for a few days. You must not cheat..."

"Actually, I don't really know what the Gothic style is, I just think it's great to be able to make the small garden look mature."

Standing by the bedside, the somewhat strangely behaving Fanfeng Junzi was haggling with a puffed-up face, bargaining with a lazy girl with a bun on her head.

At this time, 'Honokaze Junko' was also looking at the princess dress on Natsume Sonoko with curiosity, especially the cat on her shoulder which added a lot of beauty. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the cat would suddenly come alive.

However, the other person was now being pressed down on the bed by a big head, with only his belly exposed within the visible range, and it seemed that he was being used as a pillow.

Obviously, for some communication purposes, the person who is now holding Senior Fanfeng's body is naturally our Miss Ghost.

At the critical moment when she learned that Miss Ghost might disappear, Senior Fanfeng seemed to become particularly tolerant. In order for the Queen and the others to get the correct information, it would undoubtedly be more convenient and faster for Miss Ghost to explain it herself.

But after a while, Miss Ghost lost her intelligence value and started hanging out with Natsume, a classmate who was acting as a mascot and a part-time poster girl.

"Hehe, you have really good taste. There's no way I can refuse you."

Taking a deep breath, her lips couldn't help but curl up, her cheeks quickly flushed, and she answered quite complacently.

Although she doesn't quite like the cold colors of black and white, Natsume Sonoko still prefers colors like orange and pink, but so far the response seems to be pretty good, and it's easy to blend into the environment when climbing out the window in the middle of the night.

This dress made by my mother unexpectedly found room for expression.

"This is a limited edition that you can never buy in Academy City. Even if you expand the scope beyond Academy City, you can only find similar products near my home, and they are not sold to the public."

"Also, clothes can't bring a sense of maturity. In fact, it's me who should be mature, and this is very important."

Turning her head and winking at 'Hokaze-senpai', Natsume Sonoko was happy to have another chance to show off her clothes to her friends.

Although she is not very familiar with Miss Ghost yet, after all, there are not many opportunities for direct contact, but they can still be considered ordinary friends. Natsume Sonoko is still very happy to communicate with her.

After stretching comfortably, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help feeling a wave of sleepiness, and the words she wanted to continue chattering were swallowed back in time.

I feel sleepy again.

Once I lay down in bed, most of my original ambition to stay up late disappeared.

In fact, after Shokuhou-senpai arrived at the abandoned building, Natsume Sonoko completely relaxed. She didn't need to worry about anything here, and naturally relied on her shining senior.

This is probably the inertial thinking that she has formed for quite some time.

Having said that, Shokuhou-senpai always makes people feel at ease.

In comparison, Misaka-senpai, who is in the same grade, seems much more childish. In addition to this, they seem to be at two extremes in terms of physical development and athletic ability.

Of course, Natsume Sonoko also likes her own Misaka-senpai very much, and thinks that her electric look is particularly handsome.

"If the person who wakes up is not me now, Xiao Yuanzi can't regret it."

As if she had thought of some possibility, some sadness appeared in the eyes of 'Hokaze Junko', she did not forget her situation.

If we forget everything now, then what is the meaning of this agreement?

The person who wakes up will only be the Yuri Chiye who was sleeping at the beginning, and she will have nothing.

"Don't worry, Miss Ghost. The one who wakes up will definitely be you, and Shokuhou-senpai will definitely find a way.

"Well... Actually, I have a backup plan. Just relax, no one will let Miss Ghost disappear."

After a slight pause, Natsume Sonoko shook her big head, tried to sit up and responded.

If they couldn't find a better solution for the time being, they could seek help from the ghost-chasing doctor in the underworld. In addition, their acquaintance, Mr. Kimura Haruo, was also an expert in aim diffusion fields. Their situation was far from as bad as Miss Ghost thought.

In the deserted room, the meaningless conversation beside the bed continued. The girl with a bun was trying to cheer herself up and calm Miss Ghost.

On the other side, in the area close to the instrument, two people with psychological system abilities were also communicating with each other.

As the leader, Shokuhou Misaki was thinking hard about summarizing the existing information while constantly asking Mitsuari Ayumu for information about the experiment, trying to find a solution to the current dilemma.

The intelligence data from Hojo Shizugo is incomplete, and some important experimental data is still in the hands of Mitsuari Ayu. So if you want to end this experiment and let Yuuri Chiya's thought body return to the body smoothly, Mitsuari Ayu's value is self-evident.

However, Shokuhou Misaki naturally had no trust in Mitsuari Ayumu, and naturally considered the possibility that she was lying.

In Shokuhou Misaki's eyes, this possibility is still very high.

In this case, unless the other party's brain is put into a state of extreme pain or collapse, thereby destroying the mutual immunity between people with psychological system abilities, the only way is to verify the truthfulness of the other party's words through questioning techniques and existing intelligence.

As the questioning deepened, Shokuhou Misaki became more and more doubtful, because she could hardly find any flaws in her words.

Would Mitsuari Ayuu really cooperate like this? Shokuhou Misaki wondered.

Fortunately, the force field control equipment and Miss Ghost's body are in their hands. No matter what plans are made later, they can be adjusted in time through scene simulation.

As for Mitsuari Ayu who was standing by, her eyes kept looking at Yuuri Chiya's body not far away and Hokaze Junko who seemed to be possessed by some strange life form, and the expression on her face became complicated and gloomy.

"If the external brain has not been destroyed by me, perhaps this method can work."
