Temperature Control in Academy City

With this idea in mind that she could go anywhere, Natsume Sonoko suddenly thought about whether she could go and meet up with senior sisters Keiseki and the others first.

The direction of the bicycle deviated 180 degrees at the busy intersection, and it turned on the spot without any warning and began to accelerate in the other direction.

Of course, I looked ahead and behind before turning, and there were no troublesome unexpected collisions. Instead, there was a smooth and comfortable feeling.

After clearly realizing that she was actually riding a bicycle and not some high-tech cylindrical robot that could automatically navigate and dodge, Natsume Sonoko's memory of land transportation finally returned to normal, and there would be no more unhappy car crashes like the one she had this morning.

This sudden change also surprised the Anbu members who were following a hundred meters behind them.

Just when Mai Ye Shenli was looking at the innocent yellow-haired boy with a dim gaze, she realized that the eighth one had ignored their plans and rode his bicycle into a nearby street in a moment.

Great, we weren't discovered.

Everyone in the van breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that their containment plan could continue.

It is not a good idea to have a conflict break out near such a busy street, and the nearby security guards will be able to arrive at the scene quickly.

More importantly, the terrain here is too open. Although it is also good for Mai Ye Shenli to perform, the eighth place has a greater advantage.

The yellow-haired boy who was the driver subconsciously wiped away the sweat on his forehead that was secreted in a short period of time due to nervousness. Just now he felt that his breathing was about to stagnate.

It’s not because of the existence of the eighth person, but because the oppressive feeling from the Anbu of this high school student named Mai Ye Shenli is too strong. He has no doubt that the other party is the type with blood on his hands.

He was forced to join the Anbu as a handyman just today, but in the afternoon he had to be busy surrounding the Eighth who had helped him. Hamazura Shiage felt that everything that was happening around him was unreal.

However, as a small man who had been making a living in the city sewers for many years, Hamazura Shiage was already familiar with the elements of survival in various adverse environments. He was just worried about whether Komaba could adapt.

After all, this is the Anbu, a place that goes against Komaba's idea of ​​protecting the weak.

The only thing that makes people feel fortunate is that everyone is still alive and has not really fallen into the abyss of despair.

"Hehehe, as long as we go at this time, Senior Jingce will prepare black tea."

“I wonder if it will be Uva or Darjeeling? Actually, it doesn’t matter if the black tea is a little worse, as long as it is sweet enough.”

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Natsume Sonoko subconsciously showed an expression of interest.

Senior Jingce seems to be very good at brewing black tea. Both her technique and taste are top-notch.

Although it is not clear how the senior sister learned this skill from the Youth Reformatory and the Anbu, this may be a kind of talent. Many rich girls who have practiced since childhood are not as good as her.

"Besides, I haven't visited Lingzi and my sisters for several days."

Thinking of something again, a hint of majesty appeared on Natsume Sonoko's face.

Although he was terrified by the warden in his own dormitory, he was completely different as soon as he went out and showed his domineering attitude.

It seems that she also has the potential to play a magical girl.

.....

"No, there's a traffic jam ahead."

About two or three hundred meters away from Misaka Apartment Building No. 1, Hamazura Shiage slammed on the brakes and barely stopped at the entrance of the narrow alley. Directly opposite him happened to be a large truck coming head-on.

The girl on the bicycle was completely unaffected. She pressed the bell and rode in.

"Ah, this is as expected, super useless."

"In this case, shouldn't we do the same as in the movies, with two wheels off the ground, and insert it like a blade?"

Juanqi Zuiai, who was chewing something in his mouth, was the first to jump out of the car. While mocking a certain yellow-haired driver, he carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Narrow alleys prone to traffic jams, sparse traffic, some old houses, and deserted shops with few customers... If it is this kind of place, it would be a perfect place to block the eighth place.

Unfortunately, she was pessimistic about whether she could successfully block the eighth place. She couldn't expect a group of land creatures to really stop that super-powerful guy who had all the abilities of land, sea and air.

Although her ability could barely keep her in the air, it was definitely no match for the eighth place. She had already realized this during their last fight.

Mugino's situation is similar. The power of atomic destruction allows her to launch and bounce herself like a rocket engine, but she can only barely stay in the air.

But in 'Tool', Mugino's orders were absolute, and she was not allowed to question them, no matter how dangerous they were.

But what she loved most was always enjoying danger.

"Mugi, is this the place to go?"

Kinuhata turned around and looked at the tall girl who jumped out of the car with a frown on her face, and said in a questioning tone.

"That's it. I can't wait any longer."

Mai Ye Shenli spoke without hesitation, and then took off the heels of her high heels, looking as if she had already gotten into the mood.

Chapter 766 Accelerator

Among those with super powers, Mai Ye Shenli's condition is also serious. His current mental state has already tended to be irritable and even violent.

According to the popular saying in Academy City, this is probably a typical example of how ability or personal reality affects personality. Being able to develop an extremely aggressive ability like atomic collapse naturally means that she is not a good girl.

After receiving some work on weekdays, Mai Ye Shenli would even take the initiative to give up using atomic collapse, which could solve the problem at once. Instead, he would choose to break the enemy's bones with his fists. He didn't feel sorry at all even if his newly bought clothes were covered with blood.

Her pretty cheeks were smeared with blood, her mouth was grinning with satisfaction, and she stood in a pool of blood with an arrogant look on her face, looking down on others. This was probably the last scene the victim saw in his peripheral vision.

When it comes to matters like killing, Mai Ye Shenli does not have the same moral concepts as some of the hothouse young ladies.

The funniest thing is that if you are in the dark and don't even have the courage to kill someone, it's enough for the person being killed to understand his or her feelings.

"Muginno Muginno, the big guy said there seems to be some problems ahead, so it's best not to go in easily."

Franda, with a funny mask on her face, bent her knees and jumped down, holding down her skirt. She subconsciously adjusted her beret which was a little crooked, and then pointed at a gorilla boy who was still sitting in the car.

"Ah, Flanda?"

"You must be prepared to say such things at a time like this."

Mai Ye Shenli said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"No, no, that's definitely not what I meant. It's just the opinion of that big guy."

"It is said that there is a rumor among the bad boys in the area that if you step into a certain area, you will see something terrible."

Frenda quickly shook her head to deny it. The expression on her face was a little unclear because of the mask, but the tension in her tone completely exposed her mood.

"What terrible thing?"

Mai Ye Shenli asked somewhat dissatisfiedly, and when he pulled the car door all the way open, he saw a silent tall boy following Franda out.

"Well, I heard that there are dozens of strange girls who look exactly the same living nearby, but if you ask the residents nearby, you will find that they have no such impression at all. Even if they see it with their own eyes, they will just think it's normal."

"Moreover, if you want to spread this matter online, no matter how many posts you make, it won't attract any attention, and even no one will reply. At the same time, if you try to spread the news by printing flyers, hanging banners, or broadcasting on TV, it will only take a few days for those people to completely forget about it, and even when they encounter it again, they will become uninterested like the nearby residents."

"But it seems that it won't have any impact if it's just spread by word of mouth, so currently only the delinquent boys and students in the area know about it."

Hamazura Shiage, who was standing nearby, also ran down from the car and, as if he had sensed some of Komaba's thoughts, he explained as if to smooth things over.

Isn't it super scary? There must be a very dangerous guy ahead.

It would be great if we could stop the Anbu's 'tool' from chasing us through this rumor. Even if it doesn't work, it would be good to delay the time a little.

In fact, Hamazura Shiage didn't want to conflict with the eighth at all.

He had solemnly asked for help from others, but a few days later he drove over with a group of people to cause trouble. If they really met, he would definitely be so embarrassed that he would want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Although these bad boys have no clear conscience and are simply marginalized people who make a living in the corners of society, they sometimes have their bottom line and self-esteem.

"There is actually such a thing. It sounds super exciting."

Kinuhata pulled Takitsubo Riki, who had a blank expression on her face, and spoke with great interest.

"There's a signal coming from the south-southwest."

Takitsubo Riko's body was pulled and swayed from side to side, and her drooping bangs brushed her cute big eyes like a windshield wiper. After a while, she responded in a voice lacking atmosphere.

Her thoughts were somewhat scattered, but her gaze fell on Hamazura Shiage who was busy explaining something not far away, and she seemed to think that what the other person was saying was also very concerning.

"Dozens of identical girls, could they be clones of that greenhouse lady?"

"No wonder the eighth one came here. It looks like this area is the secret base of those Tokiwadai ladies."

After thinking for a while, Mai Ye Shenli immediately summarized new information from this rumor.

She is undoubtedly well-informed and has an exceptional ability to summarize intelligence.

Most of the things that happen in Academy City cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Anbu, which is determined by the various information channels they control.

Especially those experiments that have a wide impact and cause great noise are almost known to everyone in the dark.

"No way, is there still a railgun nearby?"

"We're done for now, Mugino, let's go back quickly."

Flanda immediately grabbed the hem of her skirt and looked around suspiciously, as if a girl who liked to wear a Guatai mask might jump out at any time.

"It's not just about the Railgun. Frenda's imagination is so poor."

"There should be someone with the ability to modify memories among them, so there is basically only one person who can be associated with this. Do the adults in Academy City really think it's okay to let three espers do this kind of thing together?"

"If the information is true, it's big news. I originally thought there were a lot of conflicts between the three of them."

Kinuhata Zuiai spread her hands helplessly, and her previous mood completely disappeared along with Maizono's speculation.

I heard that a large part of the rumors in Academy City come from people with psychics, so Mugino's guess seems more credible.

"Three super-powered people?"

"Then we must not waste time and solve the problem as quickly as possible."

Mai Ye Shenli frowned slightly, but showed no intention of backing down.

Everything that happened before was just false information fabricated based on rumors, so there was no point in taking it to heart.

And even if the speculated information is true, it does not mean that they have no chance of winning.

All he had to do was teach that junior high school kid a lesson before the other two superpowered people arrived, and then torture him into finding out the source of the information about atomic collapse.

Did that junior high school kid, who was lucky enough to tie with the first one, naively think that he could trample her under his feet? He actually used her moves so blatantly.

Thinking of this, Mai Ye Shenli's teeth moved up and down, making an annoying squeaking sound.

"That person, should he choose chocolate-flavored corn on the cob or corn-flavored chocolate bar? Misaka Misaka is in crisis because she has encountered the biggest problem in history."

She was wearing a pretty sky blue dress and a light green waistcoat draped over her shoulders.

Last Order half-crouched beside the counter of a roadside convenience store, and looked for help at the white-haired boy who was leaning against the door with an impatient look on his face.

"Really boring."

With a barely audible "huh" sound, Accelerator refused to answer such a stupid question, and walked over to put both items into the shopping basket that Last Order was carrying.

ding ding ding ~~

At the same time, the girl with a bun-like haircut who was trying hard to ring the bicycle bell happened to ride past the store.

Chapter 767: Unbridled

The clear sound of car bells echoed through the narrow alleys, and the gravel splashed by the friction of the tires added some daily melody.

Since this area was developed earlier in Academy City, the roads and buildings all have an old feel, and all kinds of wooden structures that lack modernity can be seen everywhere. The main residents here are not even students, but adults who can be called the natives of Academy City.

After all, places in Academy City that provide house rental services are the territory of adults no matter how you think about it.

Riding a bicycle, Natsume Sonoko stepped into this adult territory with few students without looking around. As expected, the strange calorie information of a white-haired person not far away flashed through her mind.

However, the girl with the ball-shaped hair just frowned slightly, still maintaining a bad attitude of ignoring him. Then her buttocks immediately left the cushion by a few centimeters, and standing up and pushing would undoubtedly increase her speed.

Every time she meets the guy with white hair, she never looks happy.

Once prejudice becomes deeply rooted in one's heart, it cannot be easily changed.

Fortunately, Accelerator was too lazy to pay attention to that nasty young lady who liked to put on airs, and basically he was the type of person who out of sight, out of mind.

Even if we meet face to face, there may not be any intersection.

After Shokuhou Misaki came and had some negotiations with Accelerator, the only possible peace they could maintain was already the limit.

As of now, the only common connection between the two people is the last one with a distressed look on his face.

However, the eighth person who was passing by was not a trouble after all, and no matter how bad his attitude was, it would not hurt him at all.

Accelerator is now facing another new incident that is giving him a headache, which is why he appears in this convenience store.

"Troublesome little devil."

"Whatever someone else does you want to do, so what's going on in your head?"
