Temperature Control in Academy City

Are elementary school students nowadays so polite? I have only graduated from elementary school for one year.

The two short girls whispered to each other for more than ten seconds, and the girls around them looked at them with different expressions.

As requested, Shokuhou Misaki had already worn an electrode patch on her head to detect brain activity data. Several conspicuous metal films suddenly appeared on her smooth and fair face, and her eyes would occasionally look in the direction of the two little girls.

"The small garden is really popular."

With an expression of "as expected" on her face, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but stretch her arms and stretch her muscles.

She only read part of the memories in Kihara Nayuta's head, but most of these memories were related to her own garden.

How should I describe it? This city will never make people feel bored.

At least my own garden won’t be boring in the next few years.

"Just turn the electrode collar to second gear."

After chatting with Kihara for a while, Natsume Sonoko obediently followed the teacher's arrangements and went to take the test.

However, there seemed to be some troublesome problems in her brain, and Natsume Sonoko did not forget to adjust her calculation power.

The first gear is for daily use, the second gear is for use in combat intensity, and the third gear is for all-out use.

However, after experiencing an explosive growth in her own computing power, Natsume Sonoko's Gear 2 has actually slightly exceeded the computing level of ordinary psychics, which is also in line with Mr. Kiyama's expectations of her computing power.

.....

In an area temporarily separated by four white warning lines, there are already dozens of wires of varying thicknesses densely packed together, connecting a small life-support device with the main system nearby.

Red and yellow warning lights lit up one after another along the edges of both sides of the life-support chamber. White vapor mixed with the smell of sporadic medicines immediately filled the air as the transparent glass cover unfolded. After a long while, a thin hand finally grabbed the edge and stood up half of its body with difficulty.

After staying in the life-support chamber for half an hour, Natsume Sonoko seemed to have gone through an unprecedented terrifying experience, and a hint of panic still remained on her face.

"I can't move. My whole body is numb."

Natsume hung his head and looked at Mr. Kiyama who came over to check on the situation and was about to pull him up, and spoke in a very aggrieved tone.

She had a natural fear of confined and narrow places, but fortunately she could see the bright ceiling through the glass shell. In addition, the brain synchronization experiment diverted her attention, so she did not feel too much for a while.

However, the life-support chamber was too uncomfortable. Although there was enough space for people to turn around, the hard chamber was still terribly hard even with the bed made. This made Natsume Sonoko, who was used to super soft sofas, feel very uncomfortable.

If she hadn't forced herself to wait until the test was over, she would have wanted to tear the thing apart.

"Teacher, I think in addition to considering the safety of the experiment, it is also necessary to increase some comfort. For example, you can add some common sofa materials such as latex or artificial cotton to the life support chamber."

"Because the experimenter's mood is also one of the factors that affect the experiment, please be sure to add this point."

With a bitter face, he tried to swing his arms, and he seemed to finally feel more muscle tissue. Before his teacher could speak, Natsume Sonoko grinned and spoke confidently.

Natsume, who loves to give suggestions, said that this experiment has huge flaws.

"Increase comfort? This should indeed be considered if it is a long-term experiment."

Kimura Haruo was slightly stunned, stretched out his palm to test the hardness of the bed, and then answered with understanding.

Chapter 743: Numbness

I had back pain all over my body, and the muscles in my legs were completely out of control.

Just like a primitive human who had just learned to walk upright, the girl named Natsume Sonoko took several minutes to slowly climb down from the life support chamber, with a crying and laughing expression on her face that made her look very troublesome.

Fortunately, even though they suffered a lot of extra pain, the result made everyone feel relieved, and even Natsume Sonoko's mood improved a little.

The brain synchronization with Shokuhou-senpai was much smoother than expected, and for a moment Natsume Sonoko was reminded of the smooth, unobstructed connection between her and Reiko, as if the two of them had some kind of similarity in blood or cellular genetic material.

To describe it in a very fashionable way, the compatibility between the two of them is very high.

Of course, Natsume Sonoko would definitely not have that kind of strange relationship with her senior that involves the grudges between two generations.

Her genes are obviously completely different from Shokuhou-senpai's, and she doesn't have any relatives with blonde hair or overdeveloped parts of their bodies.

It seems that by mastering this ability mentally, one can adjust the relationship between one's own brain in subtle ways. It only took Shokuhou-senpai a very short time to adapt to the great burden that this frequency synchronization brought to the brain. The communication of consciousness between the two parties through the synchronization of brain waves is almost impossible to be blocked under this high-intensity adaptability.

In other words, Shokuhou-senpai is a genius in brainwave modulation, a perfect all-rounder, and her ability to interfere with her own brain is also at the level of a psychic.

In comparison, Natsume Sonoko was probably just an ordinary person with no talent who silently gritted her teeth to endure the tremendous pressure brought by the same frequency, and then the veins around her eye sockets bulged and her eyes turned red, while her senior sister's eyes never turned red from beginning to end.

This point can also be applied to Kihara Gensei. There was nothing unusual in his eyes when he loaded multiple abilities. On the contrary, his own teacher Kiyama had no talent like himself, and his eyes were also frighteningly red after receiving the Fantasy Hand.

If Shokuhou-senpai had loaded the fantasy hand that she had when the incident broke out, Natsume Sonoko felt that there was a high probability that she would not be unable to control herself and go berserk like Kiyama-sensei.

The better Shokuhou-senpai is in this area, the greater the influence on the secondary brain will be.

Natsume Sonoko feels that her own computing power is completely insufficient to fill the brain of Shokuhou-senpai, which means that the degree of exploitation of the secondary brain is increasing in this situation.

Of course, this exploitation also depends on the strength and obedience of the sub-brain itself.

If Natsume Sonoko resisted fiercely, she could break free. After all, it was extremely difficult for a superpower's brain to remain in sync for a long time when it was violently fluctuating and even agitated. It was like two parallel curves extending far away. If one of them fluctuated and oscillated rapidly, it would inevitably be impossible to keep it in sync, and the sync could not be maintained.

To get back to the point, if external computing power is compared to water, then my senior sister's head is like an oversized water tank that can never be filled. It is enough to leverage unimaginable amounts of computing power until her brain can no longer bear it.

However, this does not mean that the total amount of external computing power that can be leveraged by my senior sister will exceed that of a certain bun-head.

Even if Shokuhou-senpai can relieve stress by interfering with her own brain, there is still a limit to what the brain can handle, which depends on its original level of computing power.

In any case, if you want to use external computing power through leverage, you must first invest your own computing power.

Judging from the computing power of both parties, it is obvious that Natsume Sonoko can handle more external computing power. Even if Natsume Sonoko's brain is under greater pressure to the same extent, as long as she can hold on and not let her brain go into shock, she is still more powerful.

"Thank you, teacher."

Finally stepping on the ground, Natsume Sonoko's palm was immediately held tightly by Teacher Kiyama, and her body stopped shaking further.

Although Mr. Kiyama looks weak, he seems to be surprisingly strong.

"The computing power output we just collected is much higher than we expected, and it has been outputting stably for nearly ten minutes."

"You don't feel anything unusual in your body, do you? Did you push yourself too hard during the test?"

His gaze lingered on Natsume Sonoko for a while, and he continued to ask a few questions of concern. After confirming the specific situation, Teacher Kiyama revealed a faint smile.

It seems that the cooperation between Natsume-san and Shokuhou-san is much smoother than expected.

Compared to the experiment itself, Kiyama Haruo actually cares more about the safety of his students, which is exactly the same as the idea of ​​a certain classmate Kihara. Perhaps this is why they can live together so harmoniously.

The suggestion made by Natsume before was also silently recorded by Teacher Kiyama. Seeing Natsume's pitiful appearance now, she decided to pay extra money to customize three sofa versions of the life-support chamber.

As for Shokuhou Misaki, she naturally does not need a life-support chamber, and her main brain can even move freely.

Time passed by little by little, and evening came to this makeshift laboratory.

The busy state did not seem to end with the end of the test. Instead, I became more intense in my efforts to work on the new job.

Researchers in white coats were organizing and compiling data, while engineers with sweat dripping down their cheeks continued to modify and adjust instruments.

Shokuhou-senpai is having an intense discussion with Kiyama-sensei and the others. It seems that the synchronization experience just now has brought her a lot of new ideas. Even Mitsuari-san is actively offering suggestions and is being particularly dedicated in dealing with Miss Ghost's affairs.

At this time, Junko Fanfeng ran to Natsume's side. Some faint bioelectricity flowed out of her palms, and she was massaging the muscles of a girl who was suffering from back pain.

"Natsume-san, are you feeling a little better?"

With an apologetic smile on her face, Fanfeng Runzi looked at the bun-haired girl lying dead on Miss Ghost's bed beside her, and asked with concern.

Including Natsume and the Queen, everyone is working hard for Miss Ghost. But Hokaze Junko knows very well that the Queen and Natsume are taking care of her feelings to some extent, so they choose to use such a troublesome method to help Miss Ghost return to her body.

Then she should also try to do something for everyone instead of just waiting on the sidelines.

"Ok...Ok...Much better."

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the muscles in her legs couldn't help but twitch, and Natsume Sonoko's body kept feeling a tingling sensation.

Senior Sister Fanfeng, who has a wealth of knowledge about human muscles and meridians, and has micro-electricity that can penetrate the skin, is simply the perfect candidate for a masseur.

No wonder Shokuhou-senpai has always liked to have Hokaze-senpai give her a massage. This alone makes it hard to refuse.

“But speaking of which, have I been able to come into contact with Shokuhou-senpai’s true consciousness this time?”

"And how should I describe some of the senior's thoughts and ideas? They have a dark but girlish feel to them."

After opening her eyes, Natsume Sonoko, who was lying on her side, tilted her head and looked towards the busy laboratory area. Since many walls here had been demolished, the room where Miss Ghost's bed was placed was naturally connected to the entire laboratory.

And when her brain waves were in sync with Shokuhou-senpai's, Natsume Sonoko naturally came into contact with her consciousness, and obtained some of her thoughts and memory fragments in the exchange.

At that time, she and Shokuhou-senpai did not communicate through such an inefficient method as language, but directly transmitted information through the collision of consciousness.

However, this kind of consciousness communication is generally difficult to occur, because the main brain does not need to distribute calculation tasks in the same way as communication between friends, but can directly impose them on the other party.

However, Shokuhou-senpai naturally would not choose to use an imposed method, but would communicate seriously with Natsume Sonoko through consciousness.

Whenever two consciousnesses come into contact with each other, it is inevitable that some thoughts and memories will be left behind, just as the thoughts left by a certain bun-head almost ruined his own Zero.

In essence, these lost thoughts or ideas are just mixed impurities that were not cleaned up when information was transmitted to each other.

Chapter 744: One Day Absent from Work

It's hard to guess what a girl is thinking, especially a troublesome girl like Shokuhou-senpai who shines brightly but is wary of everything.

Having said that, Natsume Sonoko's understanding of her senior has always been at a relatively superficial level.

Although she had gotten to know each other's personality and preferences through long-term contact, and was also aware of some of her ways of dealing with people, Natsume Sonoko was not aware of her past experiences, did not understand the real thoughts in her head, and even less understood why she was so neurotic and even more insecure than she was.

Simply put, what she saw of Shokuhou-senpai was only the way she appeared to the outside world.

This was the first time that she could feel Shokuhou-senpai's inner thoughts so clearly, and it made Natsume Sonoko feel an indescribable curiosity.

Her senior sister's thoughts are really different from those of ordinary people. Maybe after a few more conscious contacts, Natsume Sonoko will be able to see more hidden things about Shokuhou senior sister.

Of course, Natsume Sonoko definitely did not intend to pry into the privacy of her senior, it was just an accident.

"Natsume-san, what does it feel like to be connected to the Queen's brain?"

"That researcher Mushan mentioned before that the brain waves of both parties will overlap to a certain extent through the medium of the AIM force field... It is said that it is possible to communicate with the Queen's consciousness at a very close distance..."

The electric current in her hands dissipated for the most part at once, and Senior Sister Fanfeng's cheeks couldn't help but tighten. Her fair skin was stained with an extremely obvious blush, and her expression inexplicably became guilty.

Originally, Fanfeng Runzi was very concerned about this matter. After finishing the massage in her hands, she asked hesitantly.

Although she knew that it was more important to restore Miss Ghost's memory smoothly, she felt a little restless and nervous when she thought of this possibility.

Wanting to understand the queen's true emotions, Hokaze Junko admires the queen of her own faction immensely.

"Hey, is Senior Fanfeng interested in this kind of thing?"

“This opportunity to communicate without language is indeed a novel experience.”

Natsume Sonoko was distracted and didn't notice what was wrong with Senior Fanfeng. She just responded with some understanding.

Moreover, this is different from brain-level communication through psychological control. Psychological control is more like a one-sided implantation of information, which is strictly speaking just an invasion.

"Yeah, that's right, Natsume-san is very accurate."

"I am indeed very interested. After all, such opportunities are rare."

Senior Fanfeng placed her index finger on the side of her cheek, her eyes became a little erratic, and she paused for a second or two before speaking with an awkward smile.

"Xiaorun, you lying Pinocchio!"

"Telling lies with a straight face and deceiving your schoolmate, is this what a young lady should do?"

Miss Ghost, with her hands on her hips and a menacing look, floated between the two people. She suddenly puffed up her round face and stared unhappily at her own Xiaorun who was lying with her eyes open.

As if she wanted to express some of her dissatisfaction, Miss Ghost floated around the two of them angrily for many times, turning her head away and not looking in the direction of her own Xiaorun.

However, her little emotion obviously did not stop Xiaorun's actions. Senior Fanfeng clenched her fists and listened to what Natsume-san would say next with anticipation.

"It's probably similar to what Kiyama-sensei said."

"To describe it in a slightly weird way, it's like insects sensing each other's pheromones."

Natsume Sonoko thought for a while before continuing.

She didn't actually have any special feelings about this kind of consciousness exchange. Apart from the initial novelty, the most common feeling she had was probably "tired".

The past few uses of the "brain wave synchronization technology" were all out of a more utilitarian mindset. Either on the way to borrow computing power or in the process of borrowing computing power, Natsume Sonoko rarely felt anything like relaxation.

"Is that so? That's great."

Fanfeng Runzi's face lit up with joy, and then she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't hide her anticipation no matter how hard she tried.

"Xiao Run is such a bad guy. I will never talk to Xiao Run again."

Miss Ghost floated above Xiaorun's head with tears in her eyes, whispering softly as if she was upset.

Obviously, she was the first one to come, but Xiaorun’s mind was full of Xiaocaoqi.
