Temperature Control in Academy City

"It might be more interesting this way. The adults won't be able to deal with a superpower user who is so weak in attitude."

"Moreover, the suggestion letter written by the eighth candidate was actually discussed seriously by the school's board of directors, but they came to the conclusion that it would be fine if it was left alone. In fact, it was similar to what was speculated."

Sha Danshan shook the doll in his hand and said with a smile.

"It seems so."

"The teachers in the school all like the eighth one very much. And since she joined the Discipline Committee, the teachers with a background as a security guard are full of praise for her. They say she is much better than the other two espers. She is simply a good student in the purest sense."

"By the way, there seems to be a new club related to Natsume-san at school recently, and I heard it has grown to a large scale. And even so, there is no reaction from the Shokuhou faction, as if they don't see anything."

At this time, Jie Zhai Xue Zi suddenly thought of something and said with concern.

"The eighth place's enthusiast club, what do you think, Xue Zi?"

Sha Danshan answered thoughtfully.

"Lily and I have discussed it and will find a time to join. I heard that the girls who organized the club are very close to the eighth one, so maybe we can use this to get some information about the eighth one's whereabouts."

Jie Zhai Xue Zi continued to say that she was quite familiar with infiltrating the enemy.

Of course, the eighth person this time is not their enemy, but can be regarded as a helper.

"It is indeed necessary. After all, the ability of the eighth can influence the outcome of a battle no matter where he is."

"If her personality changes to be like Shokuhou-san, many people will not be able to sleep at night."

Sha Danshan was holding a red ribbon in her hand, which was the same ribbon that had been on the gift box that the bun-haired girl had given her.

As the formula was quickly substituted into his head, an illusory light suddenly appeared in the air, and a vague outline of a girl appeared in the narrow carriage.

Her hands were placed solemnly beside the hem of her skirt, and her bun, which seemed real but not real, swayed from side to side with her movements. There was no expression on her small face, and she looked harmless.

Chapter 735: Taking Photos

The weather today became a little weird. The sky, which was originally sunny, suddenly became a little gloomy.

However, the weather forecast provided by the long-deceased tree diagram designer said that it would not rain today, which is usually very accurate.

At this time, outside the abandoned talent workshop complex, a news girl with a camera hanging around her neck was facing a very serious-looking and stubborn boy a hundred meters away. From time to time, a tense atmosphere filled the air.

In order to obtain first-hand news information about Academy City, senior Ranko Hata, who wanders around the city every day, doesn't mind at all whether the person in front of her is the legendary seventh person.

Her goal from the beginning was to get past that troublesome guy, take a look at the abandoned area where the chaos happened yesterday, and produce today's urban legend report.

At the same time, she has also joined the Natsume Club and the Shokuhou Faction at school, and has developed subordinates in many schools. When it comes to digging out intelligence on superpowers and various heavy news, the senior sister who is good at adding fuel to the fire in her reports is very serious.

In fact, the rumor that Natsume likes to throw people into the trash can is, to some extent, partly her responsibility.

After all, it was some gossip she had dug out, and for this purpose she even interviewed Shigefuku Shoho's ex-boyfriend. Recently, she also received an enthusiastic submission from a pseudonym claiming to be 'Anbu Qingqing', who recounted a series of tragic experiences that happened to him when he encountered the eighth person.

Although she and Natsume are members of the same club, Ranko Hata has long been keenly aware that people with psychics are the most likely entities behind urban legends, so even her junior high school sister in her own club can be investigated.

In this city where most people don't care about the facts and live numbly, Hata Ranko wants to be an excellent journalist who reports everything attentively and seeks the truth from the chaos.

It doesn't matter if it is misunderstood as some third-rate gossip, the belief in her heart will never be defeated.

As if she felt that the stalemate should not continue, Senior Hata Ranko adjusted her Kirigaoka Girls' Junior High School uniform and put on a cold expression, but with her brows slightly furrowed to make herself look professional.

Due to some reasons that are not convenient to explain, it is not appropriate to wear the Tokiwadai school uniform when conducting social research outside, as this can easily cause some unnecessary trouble.

In her wardrobe, she even prepared school uniforms of schools such as Changdian Shangji, Private Shidarezakura, Hope's Peak, and Zhachuan Junior High School, and even a spare set of the maid uniform of Liaoluan Home Economics School.

"cough cough"

"Please give us a few words about the massive chaos that occurred here yesterday."

With her brows tightly furrowed, Hata Ranko took big strides and walked to the electric pole at the end of the road with the fierce eyes of the stubborn boy, and spoke in a calm but deliberate tone.

"I'm sorry, but I won't move because I promised something. Hmm? Are you talking about the chaos yesterday?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Sogiita Gunha's face, and he crossed his arms and spoke with great concern, the white cloth on his forehead swaying slightly in the breeze.

He was quite satisfied with yesterday's battle, which was more than a warm-up. At least he had a great time fighting. It had been a long time since he met someone who could fight him to the point of fully unleashing his full power.

However, because he had promised the Tokiwadai girls something, or perhaps in order to calm down the huge commotion caused by yesterday's fight, Sogiita Gunha now had to help persuade those curious people who had intentionally or unintentionally entered this experimental area to return.

In fact, this job is not suitable for Sogiita Gunba. He is probably the kind of person who can't stand being asked to do something by others. It is very likely that he will put someone in as soon as someone asks him to do it.

"By the way, your stopping here must be related to the incident that happened yesterday. So are you one of the people involved in that incident? Please can you talk to me about it?"

“In order to let more people know the truth, this is the work I must do.”

A look of realization suddenly flashed across her face. Hata Ranko accurately found the anomaly in Sogiita Gunha's words, and immediately modified her goal.

“Let more people know the truth?”

After a little thought, Sogiita Gunba's brain started to work hard, and he looked very courageous.

And this doesn't seem to affect what he promised to the girls at Tokiwadai. As long as no one gets close to that place, it will be fine.

"By the way, can you let me take a few pictures? Just a few from a distance will be enough, I won't go in."

When the remote control was pressed, a wave of electric waves immediately invaded Hata Ranko's brain.

"I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do in the dormitory, so I'll go back first."

Hata Ranko's tone suddenly became more serious as star patterns appeared in her pupils. She turned around quickly, leaving Sogiita Gunha standing on the telephone pole in confusion.

Not far away, Shokuhou Misaki, with a helpless look on her face, stood at the edge of the building where the workers' workshop was located. She had already discovered the movement over there through the newly installed surveillance equipment.

Originally, she had wanted to see Sogiita Gunha's intimidation capabilities, but in the end, she still had to deal with most of the trouble.

Strictly speaking, the guy wearing a school uniform jacket and a white cloth tied on his head was really useless. They were originally thought to be a helper in persuading irrelevant people to return, but he turned out to be a high-risk person who could leak their information at any time.

She also felt helpless towards the girl wearing the Kirigaoka Girls' Junior High School uniform.

Although the other party is a member of the Shokuhou faction, it is obvious that he is not on the same page as Shokuhou Misaki and is not a true core member of the faction.

The eldest daughters in the Shokuhou faction have different thoughts, and when there are more of them, they become even more bizarre. The only ones who can really be favored by Shokuhou Misaki are the few girls around her.

Of course, Ranko Hata is not the kind of annoying person who spreads false rumors and subjective assumptions on the Internet. Instead, she has very strict self-discipline.

However, they did find out a lot of unknown gossip, which caused quite a stir, but it is really hard to like a girl who specifically targets these people with super powers.

"Hata Ranko-san's memories are really interesting. Have you discovered so much interesting information recently?"

"I didn't expect that Misaka-san caught a criminal selling strange Indian poker cards yesterday. That criminal also seemed to have made... my cards."

After formally checking some of the other party's recent memories, Shokuhou Misaki was slightly stunned, then said with a somewhat forced smile.

Chapter 736 Eyes

There are more ways to 'disperse idlers' than just magic. It is also a good idea to put up warning signs around or pretend to be security personnel to set up a cordon.

However, even though a lot of preparations were made in advance, there were still many people who ignored this series of arrangements and resolutely broke into the scene of the incident. The students of Academy City were probably the group that loved to join in the fun the most.

"It should be fine for now."

When the surroundings became quiet again, Shokuhou Misaki said helplessly.

Now she just hopes to complete her planned experiment as soon as possible, otherwise most of her energy will be tied up here. Even the investigation into the real disseminator of Indian poker has been somewhat stagnant in the past two days.

Her partner had already received relatively accurate intelligence, and after eliminating the interference factor of Mitsuari Aiyu, they had almost locked on to the target, but now she couldn't spare any energy.

At this time, the first floor of the originally empty abandoned building has become a temporary computer room, and a supercomputer used to provide instrument calculations is placed in the area near the center.

Part of the computing power was connected to the equipment already installed on other floors, while the other part was connected to the monitoring terminals outside the building. In addition, with the addition of the security robots that Mitsuya Aiyu had obtained through various channels, a usable security system was barely formed.

However, these simple measures are just icing on the cake. The few superpowers involved are the main security force. At present, unless Academy City takes the initiative to intervene, the safety factor of this building is completely guaranteed.

"It will probably take another two days to build the safety assurance procedures for this 'brain wave synchronization instrument'. This is the fastest progress possible at any cost."

As she silently evaluated something, there was an indescribable pressure in Shokuhou Misaki's eyes.

If the adults knew what she was doing now, creating a machine that was theoretically capable of synchronizing all the esper users in Academy City, her situation would immediately deteriorate.

In fact, this machine can really synchronize the entire Academy City. After all, its function is to act as a catalyst connecting the main brain and the sub-brain, which is equivalent to an enhanced version of the "Fantasy Hand".

However, this time it is not simply a subtle "empathy" method through audio, but a faster and more stable radio wave induction and drug interference method.

The only flaw is that the safety of the secondary brain cannot be guaranteed when the brains are connected to each other. This is why it is necessary to develop a safety assurance program so that emergency disconnection can be performed at critical moments.

The other solution discussed before has a lot of security improvements. That is, instead of using a top-down plundering solution, it uses an 'administrator' solution where everyone is parallel to each other.

Through the intervention of third-party administrators or even the machines themselves, there is no sharp conflict between the main brain and the sub-brain, but rather they are just the lender and the borrower. In simple terms, there is no mandatory nature of the main brain, and it is simply that people with surplus computing power help those with insufficient computing power to calculate the formula.

However, due to time constraints, the second option, which seemed to be much better in all aspects, had to be put aside and the current problem had to be solved first.

"It's not safe to hide this machine here. We should just destroy it after the experiment is over."

"As for the 'Brain Mastery' plan that is needed to restore Kamijou-san to normal, in addition to gathering all the elemental ability users related to the brain and human body, the specific operation method is undoubtedly the second plan. The only question is whether it can achieve the effect of 'personal reality' superposition and complete the new ability 'Brain Mastery'."

"But if I can temporarily act as an administrator, then I can naturally obtain the superposition of the 'personal realities' of many 'individuals'. After all, according to the design of the second plan, the existence of the administrator is to serve as a regulating valve and safety measure for everyone. In other words, everyone's abilities must be indirectly passed through the 'administrator' itself."

Shokuhou Misaki was wandering at the edge of the abandoned building, lost in thought about something.

She had successfully hidden her external brain for a long time.

Because the external brain can become part of one's own deterrence capability at any time, the benefits of actively holding it are actually greater than the risks.

However, the machine that was being manufactured now had no such value at all. If one wanted to coerce the people with special abilities in Academy City, too much preparation would have to be done in advance, and it could not be weaponized quickly. It also did not conform to her bottom line and style.

However, she is not completely without her own selfish motives. This experiment can actually be seen as a rehearsal.

In fact, people with super powers are probably the most selfish kind of people, always thinking about their own feelings.

At this time, the top floor of the abandoned building, the area around the bed where Yuri Chiye's body was sleeping, had already been transformed into a complete research institute.

A large number of unnamed instruments spread from the corridor to the perimeter of the ward. More than 20 researchers in white coats were constantly connecting and debugging these instruments. In the corner, there were several life support chambers in operation. Some engineers were transforming them into "loading chambers" for the sub-brains. The safety procedures were almost all made on these chambers.

At the same time, in order to maintain a more spacious test area, part of the wall was directly opened up, and the load-bearing part of the wall was replaced with a quick-drying foam column. Even the elevator area was demolished to form a connected and bright area.

"Even if a dangerous 'assimilation' phenomenon occurs during the experiment, we must ensure that the experiment will not be stopped midway. Then the role of the safety procedure is only to force those who cannot bear it to go offline, so that the remaining people can continue the experiment."

"But in that case, the remaining people will have to bear all the pressure."

Mr. Kiyama's mental state was not good, and he seemed to have returned to his previous sleep-deprived state, but without the thick dark circles under his eyes.

She had long known that the main force of the sub-brain was only Natsume Sonoko, but she chose to load a few more sub-brains to help share the pressure.

Although it may seem like a redundant move, Mr. Kiyama actually agrees with this approach. There must be room for error, and all the pressure cannot be concentrated on one person.

Next to her was Kihara Nayuta, who was also wearing a white coat. She nodded when she heard her teacher's words, which was in line with her thoughts.

Perhaps because of Natsume's involvement, Kihara Nayuta became more focused in handling these devices. Her ability was directly related to the aim field, so she seemed to be quite comfortable joining this experiment.

By the way, Kihara Nayuta was originally excluded from the experiment by Shokuhou Misaki. The identity of the Kihara clan itself represents trouble and danger.

In addition, a large part of the opponent's body has been replaced by machines, and many parts even have remnants of aim force fields from previous experiments. This makes Shokuhou Misaki's abilities significantly ineffective, and she can't grasp the key points when reading memories.

As for the reason why she can still appear here now, it is naturally because of the guarantee given by a certain bun-haired girl and the recommendation of Mr. Kiyama, and of course the partial memories that Shokuhou Misaki has already read.

However, necessary surveillance is indispensable, and the other researchers around are actually Shokuhou Misaki's eyes.

Chapter 737: Classmate Mitsuya Aiyu

Chapter 738: Much Worse

The prisoner senior found her future destination, and Shokuhou senior gained a new follower.

And Senior Fanfeng followed her queen as usual, but now she would occasionally chat absentmindedly with the invisible ghost lady.

They are clearly within a circle with a radius of about one meter, but there seems to be a thin barrier between them. Beneath the harmonious appearance, there are actually two hostile guys.

Even Hokaze Junko, who was there as a mediating force, stood awkwardly in a position close to the middle between the two people. Her position suddenly became extremely important.

After dealing with Miss Ghost's memory problem, she plans to go back to her old job and try to improve the relationship between Mitsuari and the Queen. Although Mitsuari has done many wrong things, Senior Fanfeng thinks there must be some misunderstanding. In her memory, Mitsuari is a completely different person, and a person's personality cannot suddenly change.

Although Mitsuari-san carried out campus attacks, spread dangerous technological items, and coerced ordinary students, Fanfeng-senpai did not think that he was really that bad.

If I could do it all over again, maybe the ending would be completely different.

However, the people with the psychological system's abilities are sometimes too shrewd. They have the ability to see through people's hearts and are often more stubborn than ordinary people. At present, it seems that this will be a more difficult task than bringing Misaka and the Queen together.

However, the first step to improve the relationship is to let Mitsuari take responsibility for her mistakes. This is definitely not wrong. Senior Fanfeng secretly made up her mind to supervise her to complete all the punishment tasks very seriously. Whether it is a treadmill or a dance machine, Mitsuari will definitely be able to stick to it.
