Temperature Control in Academy City

But just as Natsume Sonoko had expected, the intense vibration only lasted for a dozen seconds before it subsided and everything returned to normal.

"It's over. It looks like Mr. Kiyama Haruo still doesn't have the courage to destroy Academy City."

Haruo Kiyama is the developer of the previous Fantasy Hand, and to some extent, he is also one of the initiators of this collective outbreak of RSPK syndrome.

Natsume Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't think that Teacher Kiyama would do anything to destroy Academy City, she still waited until the vibration stopped before she felt relieved.

It seemed as if he remembered Mr. Kiyama's original ambition to become the enemy of Academy City, but he still retained his gentleness and bottom line.

"Natsume-san, do you know how dangerous your behavior is?" Hatsuharu-san said angrily, running over and glaring at Natsume Sonoko.

"Sorry, I won't do it again next time." Natsume Sonoko immediately looked apologetic and waved her hands.

At this time, Natsume Sonoko also caught a glimpse of Harukami Kimi's face and noticed her distraught expression.

"Where...where is it?"

She murmured to herself, with unspeakable sadness in her tone.

"Harukami-san, are you okay?" Saten-san also noticed that Harukami Kimi was acting strangely, but Harukami-san had no intention of answering. Instead, she kept repeating this sentence.

"Are you looking for someone?"

Natsume Sonoko patted Harukami Kimie's shoulder, interrupting her sorrow.

With her head lowered, Harukami was silent, but the sharp-eyed Natsume Sonoko noticed that she was holding a pendant tightly in her hand.

Harukami Jinyi shook her head and said nothing, as if she was unwilling to speak out what was in her heart.

"This is a photo pendant, can I see it?" Natsume Sonoko said after hesitating for a while, and seemed to be interested in Harukami's pendant.

"Well... yes."

After hesitating for a long time while holding the pendant, Harukami Jinyi slowly released her hand and nodded.

When I opened the pendant, I saw a photo of a little girl with short hair. She looked only seven or eight years old. Her bangs were fixed behind her head with a hairband, leaving a smooth forehead.

The moment she saw the photo, Natsume Sonoko's memory became clearer and a special feeling surged in her heart.

This person is a guinea pig abandoned by Academy City, and the student that Kimura Haruo is determined to save at all costs.

"Is this person someone very important to Harukami-san?" Riri Saten came over and said, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"He's a good friend of mine." Harukami nodded slightly.

Back at the Tokiwadai student dormitory, Natsume Sonoko looked a little worried.

There have been some big changes here. Various decorations have been dotted in every corner of the student dormitory. Sky blue curtains are fixed on the walls of the hall, and flowers are decorated at regular intervals, with two bright red ribbons hanging around the flowers.

The hall and some ancillary buildings were utilized and arranged differently according to needs.

As soon as Natsume Sonoko entered the door, she saw the dorm supervisor with a serious face. Ever since she broke up, the dorm supervisor became more and more strict, and was ruthless even during holidays.

"There's something wrong with the placement of the flower basket. You need to leave at least a gap here, and the carpet here also needs to be re-laid."

Listening to the dormitory supervisor's reprimand, Natsume Sonoko quickly went up to the second floor and returned to room 210.

Sitting at the desk, carefully recalling her memories, Natsume Sonoko began to search for some targeted information, that is, the only villain in Super Cannon One in her memory.

After clicking the mouse, a professional woman wearing a women's suit and with orange hair quickly appeared on the computer screen. She looked very friendly, just like an older sister next door.

Therese Tina Kihara Levrein, director of the Advanced State Rescue Team and its affiliated research institute.

So your last name is Kihara, that's normal.

In Academy City, anyone with the last name Kihara is a legitimate mad scientist. No matter how perverted and inhumane the experiment is, they can almost always face it with a smile.

I also investigated the Advanced Education Bureau where Haruo Kiyama used to work, and found out that it has now been completely abandoned, with only an old building left.

Natsume Sonoko closed her laptop and digested the information she had just found out. A trace of worry appeared on her face.

Due to its own butterfly effect, the original plot has undergone tremendous changes.

In addition to the fact that Haruki Kiyama was not captured as in the plot, Misaka-senpai did not use her ability to read Haruki Kiyama's memory as in the plot, and she had never even seen Haruki Kiyama. The subsequent plot had actually changed beyond recognition.

The story happened because of coincidences, and these coincidences led to the inevitable ending. If there is a problem in one link, no one can guarantee what will happen.

Natsume Sonoko, who always thinks too much, can't help but worry that if Misaka-senpai hadn't intervened, things might have turned for the worse.

Natsume Sonoko actually sympathizes with those abandoned children who have become vegetables due to experiments.

....Dividing line....

After the lights were turned off, the entire dormitory became quiet, with only the familiar footsteps of the warden echoing in the corridor.

The warden would make rounds every night. The time for each round was basically fixed, but sometimes he would make a surprise visit.

After turning off the lights, Natsume Sonoko buried herself in the sofa and suddenly opened her closed eyes. Half an hour had passed, but she couldn't fall asleep.

"I'm going to go find Mr. Kiyama Haruo."

With her eyes wide open, Natsume Sonoko finally stopped hesitating and quietly got up from the bed.

The window of a dormitory on the second floor was opened, and Natsume Sonoko looked down.

Then a guy wearing the Tokiwadai school uniform jumped down from the second floor of the Tokiwadai dormitory. He had experience jumping off a speeding armored vehicle before, so he didn't need to be mentally prepared this time.

Chapter 98: Second Place in Academy City

Good children should never imitate.

The second floor is not very high, but it is generally quite dangerous. A young man who dreamed of traveling back to 1997 even paid the price of one leg for this.

Natsume Sonoko spread her hands slightly and landed steadily on the ground with the help of the ubiquitous wind.

Landed successfully and felt good.

I didn't feel anything when I jumped from the second floor. Instead, it seemed a bit commonplace. After all, I had spent a lot of time at an altitude of several hundred meters.

The only thing that worries Natsume Sonoko is the dormitory supervisor's routine dormitory checks. However, he has already checked once, but no one can guarantee that he won't check it a second time.

Maybe Natsume Sonoko herself didn't realize that as her abilities improved, although she would still ask Shirai for help every now and then, she began to prefer to use her own abilities to solve problems in some matters.

Walking in the darkness, Natsume Sonoko looked around at the quiet streets with some curiosity. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.

Now it is already past the curfew time of each school, and there are not many pedestrians on the street. All you can see are robots of various colors patrolling and wandering around.

The Advanced Education Bureau is located in the 13th District, which is separated from the 7th District where Natsume Sonoko is located by the 15th District.

The reason why Natsume Sonoko came here is because this happens to be the place where Misaka-senpai and Kiyama Haruki met in the plot. Natsume Sonoko feels that the possibility of meeting Kiyama-sensei here would be greater.

The night seemed to have become a paradise for some people. Sitting quietly on the white cylinder, Natsume Sonoko had already seen three waves of hurried figures along the way.

There was not only a team of fully armed adults, but also two groups of minors, who were like regular visitors in the night, walking openly on the streets and chatting without restraint.

Natsume Sonoko walked past them quietly without making a sound, but sometimes accidents always happen.

"The chassis of this cleaning robot is a bit low, as if something heavy is weighing on it."

Wearing strange ring-like goggles with densely packed cable plugs connected to the ring and cables hanging down around his body, a guy who was enough to be identified as a weirdo by Natsume Sonoko was staring at the cleaning robot that was flying by quickly.

"Senior, do you find it strange too?"

Next to him was a girl wearing the school uniform of the private Shidarezakura Academy, with a curious look on her face.

The surroundings were still very quiet. She raised her arm slightly, but a bullet shot out from the sniper rifle barrel hidden in her sleeve and hit the cleaning robot accurately, directly destroying the robot's power system.

The girl named Bow and Arrow Tiger Hunter sniffed slightly, as if she could find some problems from the insignificant traces.

"The smell and trace are so faint that they don't exist, but my intuition tells me you are right."

The bow and arrow tiger hunter has learned the tracking techniques of the hunting tribes and can find his prey from a dense crowd. He is the most astute hunter, but she cannot detect any trace of the opponent, as if the opponent's whole body is isolated from the air.

The cuffs were slightly raised again, aiming at a higher point on the robot's wreckage.

But before the bullets were fired, both men fell to the ground in an instant as if they had suffered tremendous torture.

"It's so uncomfortable. There's hot air."

The bow and arrow tiger hunter covered his nose and mouth tightly, because the hot air around him began to enter his body through the respiratory tract, and if he stopped breathing, he would begin to feel suffocated.

"It's a person with abilities!"

Unable to breathe and could only endure the feeling of suffocation, the bow and arrow tiger hunter showed a crazy look and raised his arms slightly again.

"stop."

The weirdo with the ring goggles slapped the bowhunter's arm away while there was still room for easing up.

He didn't say much, and his body gradually became transparent, but he was somewhat surprised to find that his condition had not improved at all, and the other party had completely locked onto him.

However, he has another way. Besides showing goodwill to the opponent, he can use his telekinesis to launch himself out. If that is still within the opponent's ability, he can only wait for reinforcements.

The moment he realized that he couldn't easily escape from suffocation, he used the circular goggles on his head to send a message to someone.

"Is it all up to me to abandon her?"

Glancing towards the bow and arrow tiger hunter, there was only a look of consideration in this strange man's eyes.

Just when the two people were about to suffocate, the hot air all around them suddenly disappeared.

They would rather not breathe than breathe the hot air, which made Natsume Sonoko reluctantly retract her ability. She simply did not have the courage to deprive others of their lives.

Feeling relieved, the two people breathed hard and finally recovered from the suffocation.

"Luckily, the other party is not those guys from the Anbu."

The strange man's expression did not change much, as if he was not the one who almost died just now. He slowly stood up from the ground, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Should we cancel today's mission?" Archer Tiger Hunter said weakly as he stood up.

"Go ahead, we need to confirm the current status of the tree diagram designer. Next time I must carry an oxygen tank with me." The tone of the first half of the sentence was normal, but the tone of the second half became weak, as if he was muttering.

"Not yet, the other party hasn't left." This time, the Archer Tiger Hunter did not raise his arm, but instead showed a panicked look.

Natsume Sonoko has jumped off the damaged cleaning robot. This is the first time she has broken a cleaning robot, although she is also a victim.

Is this the Academy City in the dark? All kinds of dark sides have emerged.

Natsume Sonoko's heart beat faster. What she couldn't have imagined was that a girl had a gun barrel installed in her sleeves and she just fired it casually. This also led to Natsume Sonoko not being very alert just now.

(Sorry, I have to reiterate: the protagonist has not watched Toaru Majutsu no Index, and has only watched the first half of A Certain Scientific Railgun III, which is the episodes where Indian Poker first appeared. The author had just started writing the book at that time, so the protagonist did not know the bow and arrow hunter tiger)

But she would not be able to fire the second shot no matter what.

Natsume Sonoko was a little angry. This was an unexpected disaster.

Hiding in the light and shadow, Natsume Sonoko was a little hesitant. It would be better to catch these guys who were obviously criminals and hand them over to the security guards.

However, she had finally made up her mind to do something and didn't want to continue wasting time on them. She had to get up on time tomorrow and she was so sleepy now.

"Yuwang, have you encountered the enemy?"

A young man, nearly 1.80 meters tall and wearing a high-end dark brown shirt, jumped down from the sky. His hair was also brown and his eyes were gloomy, but there was always a faint smile of confidence at the corners of his mouth.

"Chief, you are finally here."

The weirdo named Yuwang Wanhua showed a hint of relief. Fortunately, his leader also came nearby to investigate Accelerator's matter, which was the Absolute Ability Evolution Plan.

However, the top leaders of Academy City have already spoken, strictly forbidding people like them to interfere. They hope that their leader is not stupid enough to directly destroy the Absolute Ability User Plan.

"Well, I just happened to be feeling a little bored, so where is my opponent?"

A ferocious smile appeared on the brown-haired boy's face, as if he was a madman who was showing off his power.

As soon as he saw the ferocious smile on the brown-haired boy's face, Yuwang Wanhua immediately covered his stomach and half-knelt on the ground to vomit. It seemed that he had some psychological barriers to this.

"Aren't you going to come out?"

A ball of light material appeared in the hand of the brown-haired boy, and he threw it into the air. Wherever this light material shines, it will react with the heat emitted by the human body and produce a dazzling red light.

"no change."

A trace of surprise appeared on the brown-haired boy's face. He thought for a moment, and then he was about to create a luminous substance that could detect the aim's position.

"Could this be Academy City's second? And what is this light?"

Natsume Sonoko found something was wrong, so she ran away quietly. The light still illuminated her body, but nothing changed.

Due to the constant temperature layer on the body surface, the heat released by Natsume Sonoko to the outside world is actually close to zero, and even the smell on her body is blocked by this constant temperature layer.

The ability specially developed to keep warm in winter and cool in summer has become the best concealing tool, although Natsume Sonoko herself is not quite aware of it.
