Temperature Control in Academy City

Although propaganda is everywhere in Academy City, most people have never directly experienced the so-called people with special abilities, and the world outside Academy City is still mostly normal.

"Of course. From what I know, Sonoko is a rare person even in Academy City, just a little bit inferior to someone with esper powers."

There was also some surprise on Kogoro Mouri's face, but he was much calmer than Xiaolan.

"Really? Sonoko's ability is to fly?"

"No, maybe it's manipulating the air." Kogoro Mouri retorted.

Conan on the side rolled his eyes. After living with Sister Sonoko for a while, these two guys still knew nothing. Their sensitivity towards people with special abilities was too low.

However, people with special abilities are truly extraordinary. The rumor that people with special abilities can suppress an army now has some credibility.

The sight returned to mid-air, and only a moment had passed. Two strange men with alien organs stuck in their backs, who looked like humanoid spiders, began to climb along the wall. Their target was still Natsume Sonoko.

Just when they climbed up two floors, dozens of sharp ice spears fell from the sky and pierced their alienated organs directly. They were as densely packed as hedgehogs and nailed them firmly to the wall.

"These guys are really coming for me, so these men in suits are our people."

Natsume Sonoko silently used her abilities, and layers of ice crystals began to cover these monsters.

They just slowed down their movements a little, and the man in the suit seized the opportunity. The weapon pierced their chests and they fell to the ground one by one.

Only the leading monster was a little tricky. With its tremendous strength, it instantly broke free from the constraints of the ice crystals, and the alienated organs on its body acted like arms, forcing back the approaching man in a suit.

But before it could take a few steps forward, the leading monster flew backwards as if it had hit a speeding truck.

"What a strong wind pressure."

A man in a suit squinted his eyes and clearly felt a huge gust of wind coming towards him, even his vision became blurred.

The wind pressure suppressed the actions of the leading monster, and the two men in suits finally joined together and rushed towards the monster with the wind.

The weapon changed into blood-red spikes with spikes on top of them, like a giant mace, which pierced directly into the area of ​​the monster that was not wrapped by the alienated tissue, and at the same time took away the flesh and blood tissue of the wound, causing waves of roars from the monster.

"You bastards, our revenge will never stop!"

The leading weirdo spoke in an ordinary but violent voice, seeming extremely excited and agitated.

"Then it depends on your ability."

Standing up slightly, the scarred man in the suit sneered and stared straight at the weirdo.

As soon as he finished speaking, the leading weirdo didn't care about the two people in front of him this time, but jumped directly to the second floor, climbing up along the wall, exposing his weak back directly to the eyes of the two people.

"Don't think about it."

The long dragon of spikes stretched out rapidly, wrapped around the body of the weirdo, and pulled him down from the second floor, smashing a big hole in the ground.

Just when this weirdo was about to stand up, a powerful pressure force appeared on his body again, pressing him firmly to the ground.

Despite the strong wind pressure, the duo in suits did not miss the opportunity. They avoided the armor formed by the alienated organization and directly attacked the weak parts of the monster. The monster was like being hit hard and immediately lost the ability to resist.

"It's you bad guys who want to get my attention."

Slowly falling to the ground, Natsume Sonoko looked at the strange man not far away with some anger. What was going on? Why did all kinds of strange things happen one after another?

Although Natsume Sonoko deliberately held back, the two men in suits attacked her ruthlessly, causing the scene to be in a terrible mess.

However, because I have been with Conan for a long time, I have developed a little resistance to this kind of situation. At least I won't feel so nauseous that I vomit everything in my stomach.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Hayashimura Takeshi, and this is Saito Takanori." The man in a suit with a scar on his face and a ferocious look spoke in a very polite and courteous manner, which was very inconsistent with his fierce temperament.

"Please take care of me."

"Sonoko, are you okay?"

I heard footsteps behind me and turned around to see several people rushing out of the office. They were Kogoro Mouri and his friends. I looked at the messy surroundings with some worry.

Especially Kogoro Mouri, when he saw those strange people lying on the ground, he immediately showed an extremely shocked expression, as if he remembered something.

"Lan, call the police quickly." Maori Kogoro said loudly. He was still in his pajamas and looked a little embarrassed.

"No need, we can handle it here." Lin Cunwu walked over and slowly took something out of his body.

"By the way, who are you and what are these things?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

"We are from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. You must be the famous detective Mouri Kogoro. But a piece of advice: it's better not to know too much about some things." Hayashimura Takeshi took out his ID and placed it in Mouri Kogoro's hand.

"Special Investigation Division Ninth Mobile Team." Mouri Kogoro held a flashlight for illumination and frowned at the documents in his hand.

"Uncle, uncle, I want to see it too." Conan climbed onto Kogoro Mouri without realizing it.

"Be quiet, little brat."

The people cleaning up the scene arrived quickly and found a ladder to pull down the two weirdos who had been nailed to the wall with ice guns.

According to Lin Cunwu, these were the people in their department who were in charge of logistics. A few of them in white coats collected the broken alienated tissues together, and then put all the weirdos and these alienated tissues into the car.

"So, you were sent here specifically to protect me? To be responsible for my safety outside of Academy City."

Natsume Sonoko was a little skeptical and began to look the two people in front of her up and down, but then she felt that there was some possibility, after all, her direct relative Natsume Ryunosuke was also a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Actually, the previous magic circle was also one of our protective measures, but there was a little accident, which attracted these guys." Saito Chito, who had been silent all the time, also spoke at this time, explaining what they did.

"You also know about that magic circle, and you arranged it specially?" Natsume Sonoko pouted, looking a little dissatisfied, but still listened to their next words patiently.

"Yes, Miss Sonoko doesn't have to worry about being trapped in it. According to our understanding, the magic circle actually has a huge loophole."

"As long as you die in the magic circle and are murdered, you can get out of this."

She blinked her eyes, with a look that said, "Are you kidding me?" Natsume Sonoko obviously felt that he was teasing her.

"Maybe there's something wrong with what I said. Death by murder doesn't mean real death. It only requires a fake murder that's so real it can be done. And the murderer must have all the elements of a murder. There are even some organizations hiding in the dark that often use this method to transfer people."

Chapter 93 I Forgot Something

Pseudo-murder, where an act of murder occurs but no real person is killed.

Natsume Sonoko was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling that there was such an operation.

Before, I followed Uncle Kogoro Mouri for free food and drinks every day, and I encountered almost endless criminal incidents, but I never expected that there would be any pseudo-murder cases.

"Then, this kind of pseudo-murder should have some prerequisites, such as inviting Uncle Mori and the others to participate in some activities?" Looking up at the two serious men in suits, Natsume Sonoko said uncertainly.

"That's right." Touching his nose, Hayashi Cunwu looked at Natsume Sonoko with some surprise. He didn't expect that this person knew so much.

"This is our internal information. If we want this method of leaving to work, we must invite Maori Kogoro. At the same time, only when Maori Kogoro appears in a deep sleep can all the requirements for leaving be met. This also requires that the murder case cannot be of that obvious difficulty and must reach the level of using a detective."

Lin Cunwu nodded and told everything he knew.

"Even if some organizations know how to leave, they don't know the specific links involved, so their success rate has always been low. Even the fake murders are becoming more and more extreme, and the scenes are getting bigger and bigger." Saito added, his tone very flat.

Natsume Sonoko also understood that it was not so much that Kogoro Mouri needed to be present, but rather that Conan needed to be present. It seemed that the Metropolitan Police Department did not have the core information and knew less than Natsume Sonoko herself.

I have to say, Conan is really deceptive. Maybe only someone like Kamijou Kaori can notice his difference.

This way of leaving should be used to mislead Conan, who is the key to the operation of the magic circle. Perhaps as long as Conan thinks someone is dead, even if he does not directly control the magic circle, he can indirectly affect the operation of the magic circle and make the magic circle eliminate the influence on the "dead person".

As for why it is a murder case, it may be related to Conan's ability of the rough stone.

"I understand. But I still have a question. If I can't get rid of this spell, when the fifteen days are up, will you also perform this kind of pseudo-murder?"

Natsume Sonoko gave a suspicious look and thought it was very likely.

"Yes, we have prepared three carefully planned murders, one for you, Sonoko, and the other two for the two of us. We have even chosen the murderers."

An embarrassed look appeared on Lin Cunwu's face. It was obviously not a pleasant thing to talk about how to murder the victim in front of her.

"Can I see the script? I'm a little curious." Natsume Sonoko showed a curious look on her face.

Maori Detective Agency.

Hayashimura Takeshi and Maori Kogoro sat opposite each other, seemingly discussing something. Xiaolan was busy making breakfast, it was almost morning, and there were two more guests at home.

Natsume Sonoko sat in her room, looking at several documents on her phone with some curiosity.

In order to deal with this magic, the Special Investigation Division seemed to have invited several crime consultants to visit some civilian buildings in Beihua City and developed many murder scripts that could be used.

Looking at the detailed murder process and introduction above, Natsume Sonoko suddenly felt a chill on her back.

It has been decided that we should work hard to develop nitrogen armor.

The ability users seem very powerful, but sometimes they can be easily defeated. Natsume Sonoko may not be able to withstand these endless killing methods.

However, according to the two men in suits, they would contact them before carrying out the murder, and they needed their cooperation, otherwise the damage caused by Natsume Sonoko's outburst would be beyond their ability to bear.

"Sister Sonoko, uncle asked you to come over. It seems they have come up with a result." Conan ran over at this time and said to Natsume Sonoko.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

When Natsume Sonoko arrived at the office, she found Conan also running over.

"Sonoko, I have discussed with these two people. They will be fully responsible for your safety in the next few days." Kogoro Mori said in an apologetic tone with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"We have discussed with Mr. Mori. There are still three days left before we return to Academy City. If Miss Sonoko is willing to go back early, we will communicate with the internal staff of Academy City. If she is not willing, she must follow our arrangements and go to the nearby police station for the remaining days." Saito Ueto said seriously, with a hint of determination in his tone.

"Is it because of those weird guys who attacked me? Are they very powerful?"

"Yes, today's attack can only be regarded as a minor one. The real enemy is still hiding in the dark."

Natsume Sonoko listened carefully, but the more she listened, the more confused she became.

It was really puzzling. When did I become the target of such evil forces? And it seemed that it would be difficult to resolve.

"If that's the case, I choose to go back early."

Natsume Sonoko hesitated for a moment before speaking. She was a person who didn't like to cause trouble for others, so she naturally knew what was the best choice in the current situation.

I've been away for so long, and my parents haven't come back to see me. There's no point in staying any longer.

However, my original plan to visit my cousin Takashi Natsume had to be cancelled. I really want to know if there is a cat teacher.

"Why did those people attack Sister Sonoko?"

Conan was also listening nearby, and at this moment he could no longer suppress his curiosity.

"Conan, be polite." Ran Mouri came over with breakfast and said angrily when she saw Conan casually intervening in the adults' conversation.

"It's okay. It's okay."

"They are actually a criminal gang that has mastered high-end biotechnology. Their goal is to take revenge on Miss Sonoko's father, Ryunosuke-sama. After all, he is a very famous police officer and has arrested countless criminal groups."

Lin Cunwu said with a smile, but with the scar on his face, his smile became even more ferocious.

"Is that so?" Conan nodded, as if he felt it had a certain degree of credibility.

On the contrary, Natsume Sonoko was a little bit unconvinced, without any specific reason, but she felt that things should not be that simple. Natsume Sonoko once looked directly into the eyes of one of them, and that kind of madness was much stronger than any revenge.

After staying in the Mouri Detective Agency for another half an hour, Natsume Sonoko finished her breakfast as usual. When she looked up, she saw Mouri Ran's tearful eyes.

"Sonoko, I'll go prepare something for you. We have some fresh fruits at home. You can take them with you on the way." Mao Li Ran was reluctant to leave Natsume Sonoko, and there was a hint of sadness in her words.

The influence of the magic circle has temporarily subsided, but they still retain the memories of the abnormal time, which is almost three months, and Natsume Sonoko feels a little reluctant.

"Sister Xiaolan, we can keep in touch by phone in the future. Mobile phone messaging is also very convenient. When I return to Academy City, I will go to the board of directors to note Sister Xiaolan and Conan's phone numbers." Natsume Sonoko said comfortingly.

"And maybe you'll be able to see me on TV in the future, just like senior Misaka Mikoto." Natsume Sonoko became somewhat confident.

"Misaka Mikoto is the third person with super powers. Can Sonoko also become a super power user?" Conan asked with some surprise.

"Anyway, I am constantly working towards that goal."

After packing her luggage, Natsume Sonoko discovered that the automatic cat feeding device that she had originally intended to give to her cousin Natsume Takashi was still lying quietly in her suitcase, along with two multi-function watches.

"I can only ask Sister Xiaolan to mail it for me."

Natsume Sonoko took some time to write a letter, and then handed the letter and the automatic cat feeding device to Sister Xiaolan. It was really troublesome without her cousin's mobile phone contact information, so she told her cousin to include his phone number if he replied.

As for the two multi-function watches, Natsume Sonoko gave them directly to Hayashi Mura Takeshi and the others. Anyway, Natsume Sonoko was not planning to take them back.

Sitting in an ordinary business car, Natsume Sonoko stared blankly at the sky outside the window.

The person driving the car was Saito Takanori. This car was their official car, and it was much better than Uncle Mori's.

"I always feel like I've forgotten something?"

Her brows were furrowed increasingly tight, and Natsume Sonoko looked as if she was lost in thought, wondering what she had forgotten.
