Temperature Control in Academy City

Accelerator closed his eyes and sighed helplessly, then spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Don't look down on me, you bastard."

Mai Ye Shenli was instantly enraged, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably with anger.

At the same time, hundreds of void light holes appeared behind her, covering everything in sight like a bright starry sky.

One hundred words one ...

Chapter 769: Top Student

Dazzling blue-white beams of light streaked across the quiet sky, like a fleeting shooting star or a fleeting phantom, appearing suddenly and disappearing just as suddenly.

With her feet subconsciously supported on the ground, Natsume Sonoko suddenly turned around and looked behind her in surprise.

The girl, who was extremely sensitive to temperature, looked at the alley she had been to in surprise, but after waiting for a long time and seeing no further movement, she shrugged and continued riding her bicycle.

Is this an illusion? I've been working too hard lately.

Having said that, people with super powers almost never have illusions. Their brains can clearly distinguish the boundaries between reality and illusion, and can accurately capture extremely subtle intelligence.

However, actively being treated as an illusion does not fall within this scope.

The annoying bicycle bell finally stopped, and the girl on the bicycle stopped steadily near the apartment building of Senior Jingce.

But at this moment, I seemed to remember the unfortunate incident of my bicycle being stolen a few months ago.

Natsume Sonoko walked around her bicycle a few times with her chin in her hand. After a while, she suddenly realized that the two wheels of the bicycle and half of the frame were completely frozen.

As if it still felt a little unsafe, a burst of white ice crystals surged up from the ground, firmly fixing the bicycle to the ground.

Looking at her own bicycle that had almost been frozen into an ice sculpture, Natsume Sonoko dialed the internal phone installed outside the apartment door with satisfaction. Within a few seconds, Dolly's voice, which was a bit shy but full of curiosity, came from the other side.

"Moshimoshi, this is the home of Kodori, Kosuke, and Dolly."

"Hey, good afternoon, it's me."

Hearing the childish voice coming from the other end of the phone, Natsume Sonoko spoke a little embarrassedly.

Obviously, the guy with the ball head is somewhat aware of his behavior of coming here to eat and drink for free.

"Ah, it's Xiaoyuanzi. So it's time to set off? Oops, I haven't changed my clothes yet."

Dolly on the other end of the phone suddenly became a little nervous.

"Relax, it's not that early. By the way, you haven't finished the black tea that Senior Jingce bought last time."

Natsume Sonoko confirmed something in a low voice.

...

The apartment that Senior Jingce and her classmates rented is over 30 square meters, which is about 100 square meters according to the internationally accepted calculation method. It is roughly divided into three rooms, a living room and two bathrooms.

However, since the entire property rights of this apartment have been bought by a super-rich lady with starry eyes, although Dolly and her friends are nominally renting the apartment, they don't actually have to pay rent.

However, Accelerator, who lives next door to Dolly, does not have this benefit and has to pay rent into a fixed account every month.

Although her own senior Shokuhou has no interest in being a landlady, she is well aware of the importance of collecting rent from Accelerator. This is an important means for her to demonstrate her presence as the owner of the house.

But then again, Accelerator's sudden move in also caused a lot of trouble for Shokuhou Misaki. So in order to prevent similar troubles from happening again, the entire apartment is no longer available for rent.

Even except for Dolly and the others and the newly moved in Accelerator and Last Order, the original tenants also chose to leave one after another under the interference of the starry-eyed girl.

The huge apartment suddenly became a little empty, with only my sisters who lived in nearby apartments coming over occasionally to visit.

First he used his newly acquired hacking knowledge to open the door's access control, then a group of people surrounded Accelerator's front door, and then he confronted the arrogant and unrepentant Last Order through the door about the theft of items.

"It's so weird. No matter how many times I watch it, I always feel a little uncomfortable."

As the apartment door slowly opened, Natsume Sonoko blinked and arrived at the lobby of the apartment building.

After a while, four or five silver mechanical dogs with strange long noses appeared in front of her.

I heard that this is a high-tech device that Senior Jingce Kantou got from the Anbu that was previously called "personnel", and there are quite a few of them. There are about five that have been put into use.

From the appearance, it is probably made of materials such as titanium alloy and synthetic resin. The four legs cooperate with each other alternately, allowing it to move as flexibly as a real animal.

Although it is unclear what their original combat purpose was, their only function now is to guard the house, which is consistent with their appearance as mechanical dogs.

However, technology is such a wonderful thing, but these mechanical dogs were inexplicably designed to look ugly and weird, which made even avid technology fans like Natsume Sonoko feel bored.

A certain guy with a meatball head couldn't understand why a robot dog had a nose that was more than one meter long and could be flexibly rotated. Even if there was a need for combat, it would be much better to carry a rocket launcher on the back than this design.

Just as Natsume Sonoko was busy complaining about something, these program-controlled mechanical dogs suddenly and slowly retreated to the sides, and the built-in cameras and wireless communication equipment also started working at the same time.

Under the settings of Senior Jingce Kanqu, these mechanical dogs will not actively attack visiting guests. They will only collect basic information of the visitors to make it easier for the controllers behind them to understand the situation.

"Senior Jingce, excuse me for disturbing you."

Subconsciously greeting these ugly mechanical dogs, Natsume Sonoko was well aware that her conversation could be conveyed to the senior student behind her.

The reason why Senior Jingce deliberately brought this mechanical dog was to serve as the other party's eyes and ears in this building.

"Sorry to bother you, number eight."

However, contrary to Natsume Sonoko's expectations, a sound that Natsume Sonoko least wanted to hear came from these mechanical dogs.

“Accelerator?”

This was exactly the voice of the white-haired man, and the tone and voice were very consistent. This sudden change immediately scared the girl with the bun.

Could it be that Senior Keiseki has been killed by Accelerator?

Thinking of this, Natsume Sonoko suddenly became nervous. Senior Jingce was indeed quite weak, so it was not surprising that she was killed.

With almost no time to think, Natsume Sonoko's fingers had already touched the electrode collar switch on her neck, ready to turn on the third gear at any time. Whether the water pipe bursts or the building is demolished directly, it all depends on the girl with the ball hair.

The voice of Dolly just now was probably created using a voice changer or simply a computer-generated one, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but think darkly. She had never stopped her malicious speculation about the white-haired girl from the beginning to the end.

"Don't worry, Natsume-san. Accelerator also has control over these 'Great Danes'."

"After all, there are only two households left in this apartment building, so running these things in the corridor naturally requires the consent of the other party."

The sound of caution and observation finally came from the other mechanical dog.

"And thanks to the help of the first person, the internal programs and external networks of these mechanical dogs have also been modified and upgraded to prevent them from being easily invaded and controlled by the original owner."

Jingce Kandou continued, sounding as if he was surprised that Accelerator knew about those technologies related to machinery and programming.

Can it be said that he is worthy of being the number one person with super powers?

Although she is still a dropout with nowhere to go, her knowledge and practical ability far exceed those of a certain ball-headed top student in Tokiwadai.

Chapter 770: As It Should Be

The clever Accelerator gave the neighbor girl a deep shock.

It's not that Accelerator's skills are so amazing, but there is a strong contrast with his bad reputation. He is obviously a dangerous guy who exudes the smell of villains, but he knows all kinds of extremely delicate work.

Just as the other party was willing to stay in this small apartment and live with the Last Order, Jingce Kandou found that he was increasingly unable to see through the First Order.

However, the reaction of Jingce was different. The girl with bun hair next to him pouted and looked nonchalant.

Isn’t it just reprogramming the control system inside the robot dog?

This kind of thing is nothing at all, Misaka-senpai and Hatsuharu can do it easily, so is it really appropriate to praise that guy like this?

Fortunately, the girl was self-aware and wise enough not to speak out her thoughts. Her only achievement in related areas might be that she types faster, and she left a lot of footprints on various strange forums.

Accelerator obviously did not respond sufficiently to such boring praise, and looked indifferent as if he was facing an insignificant matter.

Is it strange that after living alone for so long, I know some skills in repairing home appliances?

In fact, there are not many things that can cheer up Accelerator a little, and they all seem to be related to Last Order beside him.

He was very clear about the changes that had taken place in himself, but due to long-standing habits, he had long found it difficult to express his true thoughts.

In the end, Accelerator longs for a peaceful and simple life from the bottom of his heart. Although he thinks that Misaka brat is annoying, he doesn't mind having him around.

He cherishes everyone who is willing to be close to him.

"And the eighth one."

"I'm not interested in where you got your trouble, but could you please not bring your trouble to where that brat lives?"

The strange silence didn't last long. Accelerator's voice came through the Great Dane again, and this time his tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction.

Although Accelerator could accept an eighth person hanging around in front of him, he could not ignore the risks that the other party might bring.

At the same time, the other party's situation made Accelerator feel familiar. He himself was also entangled in various troubles, but it did not mean that he could tolerate the existence of another trouble maker.

But his relatively peaceful life now was actually thanks to those three Tokiwadai girls.

On the one hand, it is because the security system of this apartment is relatively complete. On the other hand, it is also related to the fact that a certain starry-eyed girl has maintained a great influence in the surrounding area.

The girl with starry eyes who could modify his memory directly reduced the number of unknown people around him. He remembered that no matter where he lived before, there would always be a group of people who would find his address and demolish his house. If he was alone, he wouldn't feel much about it, but it was a little different with someone around him.

In this city, there is no such thing as being a superpowered person and getting less trouble. There are many more people who specifically look for trouble with superpowered people than you can imagine. Accelerator has even been attacked by a person without superpowers, and he has no idea what is going on in the other person's head.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the eighth one. Even Keiseki Kandou, who was talking just now, became silent. Accelerator, who was controlling the mechanical dog, suddenly realized something.

The camera on the mechanical dog's head was adjusted to high-speed shooting mode, and Accelerator keenly noticed that the eighth-place's position had not changed in the slightest from beginning to end.

Then the Great Dane's nose swept flexibly towards Natsume Sonoko, and a second before touching the other's body, it was like hitting the water surface, and the girl's light and shadow suddenly became fragmented.

"Another phantom?"

"No matter how many times it happens, it makes me angry."

A vein suddenly popped up on Accelerator's forehead, who was several hundred meters away.

Although I have long been accustomed to the extremely bad attitude of the eighth person, the feeling of being ignored again and again is really terrible.

This is a clear expression of not wanting to communicate with you, and she is too lazy to even maintain basic courtesy. Has today's rich daughter fallen to such a level of lack of manners?

Accelerator also questioned the current teaching quality of Tokiwadai. It was impossible to communicate with that unreasonable young lady. Those teachers who taught the eighth one should all be fired.

"That person, is there a big crisis in the apartment? Misaka Misaka tried to tiptoe to peek at that person's phone."

Last Order stuck close to Accelerator, raised his head and asked curiously. Unfortunately, due to his height, Last Order couldn't see anything even if he stood on tiptoe.

Accelerator is connected to the "Great Dane" in the apartment through his mobile phone, and every time some strange guy appears in the apartment, he will be the first to sound the alarm.

At present, there is no so-called safe list. Even if Accelerator himself enters the sight of the Great Dane, a corresponding warning will be issued. This indiscriminate mode also means that no information in the apartment will be missed.

However, since this information was actually shared with the neighbor police officer, both of them were able to learn about each other's movements in real time. As a result, a rare kind of mutual trust emerged in this apartment building.

"Ah, it's a big crisis. Your dorm supervisor wants to return all the things you hid in your room."

Accelerator disconnected the connection with a frown, and responded nonchalantly.

When he raised his head, a faint smell of burning and blood came into his nostrils.

In the alley ahead, there was only a charred mark that went several feet into the ground, and there were still some dried blood spots around it.

Accelerator adjusted the direction of the reflection in a very short time so that those beams of light as bright as the starry sky would not turn the alley in front of him into a bloody battlefield.

But at the same time, an atomic collapse was retained, leaving a semicircular hole of neither shallow nor deep on the attacker's shoulder.

Since he was determined to kill him, then being killed was only natural.

However, Accelerator seemed unwilling to do such a thing in front of Last Order, nor was he willing to go to that extent for the evil Eighth. His purpose was only to drive him away.

From the time the opponent started to attack to the time when he hurriedly fled, Accelerator remained standing there without moving at all.

Chapter 771 I Don’t Want to

The sun was shining brightly this afternoon, and the light slanting in from the window left two shadows of varying lengths on the floor.

There was light foam on the steamy black tea, and the lemon slices rose and fell in the tea like little boats.

Natsume Sonoko skillfully picked up the jar of sugar beside her and put four or five spoonfuls of sugar in it without hesitation. She estimated that the sweetness had reached the limit of what the human tongue could perceive, so she stopped with satisfaction.

It’s done, perfect black tea with the added bonus of Senior Sister Jingce’s craftsmanship.

The black tea brewed by Senior Sister Jingce seems to perfectly bring out the sweetness of sugar. Even if a lot of sugar is added, it will not make people feel choking. Instead, there is a sense of fragrance.

A lady's afternoon tea is often so plain and simple, but strictly speaking it is something like sweet water.
