Temperature Control in Academy City

"They are Mr. Kiyama's students..." This is different from the vague picture in memory. Now there are more than ten living people in front of him, making someone feel a little at a loss.

"Since Mushan is willing to bring you here, I can tell you some things."

The ghost-chasing doctor looked at Natsume Sonoko and spoke after a while.

"Kihara Gensei, all of this originated from this person."

"The 'experiment on the analysis of the laws of runaway abilities' that he originally led would not cause people to fall into a coma, but based on some of the experimental data and results that I have access to, he arbitrarily changed the experiment to an 'experiment on the testing and use of ability body crystals', which led to the victims of the experiment." Doctor Guatai said seriously.

"And the purpose of all this is to create a level 6 of 'Understanding the Will of God with a Non-God Body' through the ability body crystallization."

"Level 6, absolute ability user?"

Natsume Sonoko muttered to herself, no matter how high her estimate of herself was, she knew that she was still some distance away from level 5, let alone level 6.

She could understand the idea of ​​those scientists who wanted to create level 6, but she felt disgusted with their crazy behavior from the bottom of her heart. It was simply not taking the lives of the people with special abilities seriously.

"What I can do is to save these children as a doctor. Fortunately, it didn't take much time to find all of them. I have a decent reputation in a city like this, so I consulted some brain experts. Later, I thought I should have a good talk with the person involved, so I asked them to help cancel the wanted order for Haruo Kiyama." Dr. Guatai put his hands in his pockets, exuding the aura of a big boss.

"And after finding a way to treat them, a new problem arose." At this time, Kimura Haruo walked over and said.

"Is it a collective outbreak of RAPK syndrome?" Natsume Sonoko asked after thinking for a while.

"That's right. When they are about to wake up, problems will arise in their aim diffusion positions, which means collective ability out of control. Kiyama Gensei's ability crystal experiment made them out of control while they were asleep, and once they wake up, they will resonate with other people's aim positions, and even cause a chaotic development that can destroy Academy City."

"There must be a solution, right? Teacher Kiyama, haven't you been trying it recently?" Natsume Sonoko thought of the recent frequent chaotic developments.

"I'm developing a program that can suppress runaway conditions. However, due to the lack of the structural core of the ability body crystal, I must analyze the crystal called the initial sample extracted from the initial experimental subject in order to complete the final program." Kimura Haruo's voice became a little hoarse, and he looked a little unwell.

"The program to suppress out-of-control, the original experimental subject?" Natsume Sonoko frowned, as if she remembered something.

Natsume Sonoko silently took out her mobile phone from her pocket and found an audio software with some uncertainty.

"I have an audio file here that can suppress abilities. I wonder if it can be useful for this program."

Chapter 103 Biological Computer

The algorithm interference came from a certain incompetent armed group that had been wiped out by the security guards.

In Natsume Sonoko's eyes, this thing can become a very useful AOE skill. Not only does it have a wide range of use, but it also has a significant effect on people with special abilities.

Sometimes I use it to exercise my abilities.

After taking out the audio file, Natsume Sonoko sat quietly on the bench in the research institute, watching Kimura Haruo who was busy working beside her with some boredom.

"What you brought is useful. This audio file contains some interesting information." The Ghost Chaser put his hands in his pockets and stood beside Natsume Sonoko.

In the eyes of professional researchers, especially Haruo Kiyama who has conducted in-depth research on brain empathy, a lot of things can be inferred from this audio file.

"As long as it's useful." Natsume Sonoko felt a little happy.

People with out-of-control abilities cannot control their abilities, so wouldn't it be better if they could just be prevented from using their abilities at all? In any case, this thing should be of some use.

"I'm not very familiar with the software, so I can only wait here for news from Kiyama." The ghost-chasing doctor checked the condition of the life support chamber, then said to Natsume Sonoko with a smile.

Taking out his cell phone to check the time, Natsume En realized that it was a little late. If he could teleport, he might still be able to make it in time for dinner at Tokiwadai Dormitory.

In fact, Natsume Sonoko would definitely not be able to make it to Tokiwadai for dinner.

Fortunately, someone and Index played in the supermarket for half a day, so their stomachs were actually half full.

Thinking of Index again, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but imagine a scene of a little nun tasting food. She looked at the salesperson with pitiful eyes, then lined up back and forth to take advantage of the food tasting, and finally pulled the saleswoman and wouldn't let her go off work.

"If you're hungry, there's hot water in the institute."

The Ghost Chaser noticed something and a faint smile appeared on his face. He pointed at the pile of instant noodles that Kimura Haruo had just bought and said.

"Really? But is it just instant noodles?"

Natsume Sonoko said hesitantly that if you don't add a poached egg to the noodles, you always feel like something is missing. It would be better to add some sauerkraut and make some old-style sauerkraut noodles or something like that.

Three minutes later, Natsume Sonoko casually took some cold water and heated it to boiling.

Natsume Sonoko was holding a box of instant noodles, with hot steam coming out of the noodles in her hand.

There is no need to cover the lid, the water temperature remains at the highest point, and the instant noodles are cooked quickly.

Natsume Sonoko's ability is unexpectedly convenient. If you are too lazy to move, you can directly distill some water from nearby and eat a bowl of hot instant noodles while sitting down.

Just as the instant noodles were boiling, the ground suddenly began to vibrate violently, causing a lot of soup to spill onto the ground.

Natsume Sonoko was a little startled and turned to look at the quiet life-support chambers.

No programs were started.

Naturally, there would be no disorderly development, but just now she felt a strong vibration for a moment, as if something hit the building, but the vibration disappeared immediately.

Come again? !

The ground began to shake again, and Natsume Sonoko nervously held the instant noodles in her hand, but fortunately, she protected it well this time and it didn't spill.

Don’t worry about the instant noodles for now, it’s better to figure out what happened.

After placing the instant noodles on the computer desk in the research institute, Natsume Sonoko clearly felt that the vibration came from the second floor of the research institute.

"what happened?"

With a puzzled look on her face, Natsume Sonoko turned her gaze to the Hades Soul Chaser not far away, while Teacher Kiyama seemed not to be affected by the vibration at all and continued with his research.

"There's a little problem with that thing on the second floor."

The ghost chaser's face became a little serious. He pressed the elevator button to go to the second floor. Natsume Sonoko followed him without hesitation.

As the elevator opened, the two passed through several security systems, and a huge cylindrical glass container appeared in front of Natsume Sonoko.

The glass container was filled with green liquid, and in the liquid was immersed a strange human figure, whose height exceeded that of a normal human.

Natsume Sonoko looked at the figure soaked in some liquid with some surprise. The head was a little deformed and the chest was bulging high as if there was something inside.

Isn't this that thing?

Natsume Sonoko immediately remembered a humanoid monster she had encountered, not the giant tentacle monster, but the one before that.

After causing massive damage, the humanoid monster was covered up by the authorities with a gas explosion. But shouldn't it have been dealt with by Misaka-senpai?

And there should be a stone on its chest, but now it is completely covered with flesh and blood. This should be its most complete appearance.

Moved.

Natsume Sonoko looked at the monster's body in surprise as it slammed into the glass container.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook again, making people wonder whether the glass could withstand such an impact.

The Ghost Chaser operated a machine near the glass container, and the green solution in the glass container was immediately drawn out, and then new colorless liquid was refilled.

After this colorless liquid entered the glass container, the monster began to dissolve and disappear at an extremely fast speed, as if all its tissues had completely decomposed at once, and in the end only a somewhat irregular piece of stone remained.

The careful Natsume Sonoko discovered that there were still some cell tissues on the edge of the stone that had not been completely dissolved, and were struggling to resist the invasion of the colorless liquid.

"What is it?" Natsume Sonoko was a little shocked.

"A special biological computer, I call it 02, but there is a problem with it." A familiar female voice sounded from behind.

"You're here. Is the research finished?"

The elevator door opened, and a woman in a white coat walked in. The Ghost Chaser beside her spoke.

"It seems to be becoming more and more unstable. Even if you, Mushan, have control over it, it will be useless." The Soul Chaser continued, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"This is unavoidable. I only have control, but not ownership. Even the will that was born into this body before, I also only have control but not ownership."

"And the only one who owns this computer is the original owner of these cell tissues." Kimura Haruo said expressionlessly.

"Is it that classmate Kakine Teito?" Mingtu Zhuihun thought for a moment and said.

"I also know something about these meteorites. Users can use them to obtain massive computing power, but the price is that cells die quickly, even the cells of those with regenerative abilities are no exception." Mingtu Zhuihun sighed and recalled something in his head.

"The only compatible person is Kakine Teito-san. His body seems to be affected by the Unnatural Matter, and has developed some kind of resistance to meteorites."

"So this monster's ability should also be Unreal Matter."

Natsume Sonoko, who finally understood a little bit, asked with concern. She remembered that this weirdo had never used any unearthly matter, but only had the ability to regenerate.

"That's because this kind of resistance is also unable to fight against the side effects of meteorites. In the end, Academy City could only use some means to add some gene fragments of people with regenerative abilities into the cells. After a large number of failures, the final adaptive cells appeared." The Underworld Soul Chaser shook his head and said.

Natsume Sonoko nodded. So that's how it is. The second-place cell isn't very good either.

"Then it should be that unknown substance that is controlling this weirdo now." Natsume Sonoko said uncertainly.

"Actually, it's not like that. Although it's possible that the Unreal Matter did something to the cells, this is more like a spontaneous behavior of this weirdo. It seems that he sensed that Henggen Teito was nearby." The Underworld Soul Chaser explained.

It seemed that they talked about a lot of irrelevant things, and the topic finally returned to the audio device that calculated interference.

According to Haruo Kiyama, the algorithmic interference does not contain much information about the original sample, but it does provide a new idea. Combined with some existing programs, it may be possible to develop a temporary version of the program to suppress runaway.

Chapter 104: Internship Assistant Researcher - Natsume Sonoko

"Although the temporary version of the suppression program cannot fundamentally eliminate the impact of the ability body crystallization experiment, it can suppress the out-of-control ability to a certain range through some means." Kimiya Haruo suppressed his inner excitement and spoke in a relatively calm tone.

"As long as we suppress our abilities every once in a while, we can allow everyone to live a normal life. If we use it in conjunction with algorithm interference, we can even extend the time."

"This is great news. Mushan, your abilities in these areas are obvious to all. I believe in your judgment. However, from a doctor's perspective, if they wake up, I still recommend that everyone take some medication to stabilize their condition, and they cannot leave the institute until they have recovered completely after getting the initial samples." The Underworld Soul Chaser said seriously. Moreover, this institute is large enough to provide accommodation for everyone.

"Okay, as long as everyone wakes up, that's enough." Kimura Haruo also calmed down at this time and agreed with the suggestion of the Ghost Chaser.

The temporary version still has hidden dangers, and the factors that caused them to lose control still exist in their minds. Even if the risk is suppressed to the minimum, the possibility of causing chaotic development still exists, and these children must be monitored until they are sure to recover.

"So, can the suppression program be used now?" the Ghost Chaser continued to ask.

"It's been completed programmatically." Kimura Haruo nodded, which made Natsume Sonoko admire Kimura Haruo's efficiency. It had been more than an hour since someone took out the audio.

"But it cannot be used directly yet. We still need to use computers to conduct several actual simulations to confirm the safety and reliability of the program and eliminate the possibility of accidents."

Perhaps because he cared about the safety of the students or the safety of Academy City, Kimura Haruo did not wake up the students directly, but chose to use a computer to simulate first.

Moreover, whether it is a temporary version or a final version, these suppression programs are developed based on the experimental data from the original ability body crystallization experiment. It is impossible to awaken any one of them individually, and everyone can only do it at the same time as in that experiment, which also increases the risk of the suppression program.

"Well, if you use the equipment I have here, it will probably take three or four hours to complete." The Ghost Chaser nodded and said.

The equipment he had here was not the common stuff in those research institutes outside. Except for that tree diagram designer, no other supercomputer could compete with it. Even Kimura Haruo's 02 biological computer could not compare to the resources he had.

"Thank you very much, doctor." Kimura Haruo said gratefully, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes.

Haruo Kiyama did not return to the third floor, where there were only life support cells and a few other equipment.

There is actually a supercomputer in this research institute. Natsume Sonoko saw rows of computer cases and dense cables from afar on the first floor, but the computer's input and output devices seemed to be installed on the second floor.

Kiyama Haruo fell into work mode, walked past Natsume Sonoko and the Ghost, took out his ID card and entered a nearby house.

Natsume Sonoko looked at the equipment and instruments behind the gate with some envy. If she had such a laboratory and her computing power reached level 5, maybe she could soon become a real level 5.

In fact, there is no clear standard for the computing power of lv5, but it is required to be at least ten times that of ordinary lv4. Natsume Sonoko even went to senior Misaka to verify it.

Natsume Sonoko has always felt that she might be able to become level 5. During the more than three months of time disorder, Natsume Sonoko's computing power has also been growing. Coupled with the influence of calculation interference, her computing power is now very close to this requirement.

In order to truly become a level 5 recognized by Academy City, not only does one need to have computing power that reaches the normal level of level 5, but one also needs to pass the judgment of Academy City.

The degree of ability development, the degree of horizontal (derivative) ability development, accuracy, durability, degree of damage, and even psychological problems, health status, etc. are all criteria for judgment. If you have the help of a supercomputer, many of your own problems can be solved easily.

But I heard that the electricity and maintenance fees of supercomputers are quite expensive. My scholarship only seems to be a lot, but in fact it can't even pay the electricity bill.

Maybe I can borrow it from the Ghost Chaser Doctor of the Underworld.

Then Natsume Sonoko silently dismissed this unreliable idea, which would cause trouble at first glance. It would be better for her to go upstairs to eat instant noodles, and then prepare to return to the student dormitory.

When I have enough money in the future, I must buy two supercomputers, one for calculations and one for playing games, Natsume Sonoko thought secretly.

The Ghost Chaser naturally didn't know about Natsume Sonoko's weird thoughts. He looked at Natsume Sonoko with some concern as she went from envy to loss. He wanted to say something, but didn't say it.

"Students nowadays are really hard to understand." Shaking his head, Mingtu Zhuihun touched his stomach. It was so late and he was a little hungry.

When Natsume Sonoko returned to the third floor, luckily, the instant noodles were still intact on the computer desk and were not overturned by the vibration just now.

“But they’re all soaked.”

With a bitter and helpless look on her face, looking at the noodles that were about to turn white, Natsume Sonoko silently picked up the instant noodles box and found a corner to slurp them.

Instead of taking the white cylinder car, it was Mr. Kiyama who drove Natsume Sonoko back.

When the supercomputer started simulating calculations, Kiyama Haruo didn't need to stay by the side, he just had to wait for the computer data to come out. In the gap in between, Kiyama Haruo took some time to send Natsume Sonoko back to the student dormitory.

"Thank you, Natsume-san. The information you brought is very helpful to me." Kimiya Haruki was looking straight ahead at the road when he suddenly spoke with his mind distracted.
