Temperature Control in Academy City

"Okay." Takitsubo Rikou looked up at Kinuhata and said.

Someone cut the ice ball in half and released Takitsubo Rihou. The ice ball became much smaller, but its strength increased.

"Is there a hair dryer? My hair is uncomfortable when it's wet." Takitsubo looked towards an empty place after her haircut.

"It's really troublesome."

Natsume Sonoko glanced at Takitsubo Riko and took the time to help dry Takitsubo Riko's hair and clothes.

"Are you waiting for the guard?"

Takitsubo Rikou spoke at this time, and kept tossing her hair into the air with her hands, as if she felt that there was a foreign object mixed in her hair.

"It's none of your business. Prisoners should have the awareness of being prisoners. Reform yourself well after you go in and try to be a good person." Natsume Sonoko looked at Takitsubo Rigo with some dissatisfaction.

"I understand." Takitsubo Rikou nodded in agreement. This meant that this was the first time that the 'prop' members had to be packed up and sent to the security building.

Although the Anbu is an organization directly under the Unified Council, it is not in the same system as the superficial law enforcement organizations in Academy City, so things may become very troublesome.

But this should be something that the senior management should consider. Maybe I can get a few good night's sleep without being disturbed.

The roar of the armored vehicle was heard from afar. Natsume Sonoko stood up hurriedly. They finally arrived.

As soon as these armored vehicles passed through the road, they were stopped by some enthusiastic citizens.

"Teacher, I want to report a case. Someone is trying to kidnap a large number of underage girls, and they are carrying high-powered weapons."

Natsume Sonoko emerged from the light and shadow, jumping and waving her hands to stop the group of armored vehicles.

There are not many well-known security teachers in Academy City, and the ones who came are naturally Mr. Yomikawa and Mr. Tetsuzo. It seems that since the number of prisoners is a bit too large and some special departments are involved, there are quite a few armored vehicles this time.

"Okay, we will take these people back for investigation." Teacher Huang Quanchuan is a man with a strong sense of justice. He immediately escorted Takitsubo Riko onto an armored vehicle.

As for the favorite girl Kinuhata, it must be said that her weight almost crushed the tires of the armored vehicle. Natsume Sonoko then slightly melted most of the ice on the outside, just like a grinning head sticking out of a large wine jar.

"By the way, have you seen what that Tokiwadai girl looks like?" Kinuhata Zuiai said indignantly, as if she wanted to find a certain bun-haired girl to fight again.

“I saw a little.”

"Actually, I saw it too. It turned out to be just a tiny thing. I'm so unwilling to accept this. I will definitely teach this guy a lesson later." Juanqi's face, which was always well-behaved, was full of unhappiness.

"The girl from Tokiwadai is relatively short, at least level 4, and her ability is suspected to be a heat system, so the range is actually very small."

Takitsubo Rikou nodded and said, "Kinahata seems very serious and has a personality that never admits defeat. I hope he won't be hit too hard."

If Takitsubo Rikou wasn't around, Kinuhata's favorite might not even be able to find each other.

"But fortunately, our mission was completed successfully. I just don't know how Mugino is doing." When the mission was completed, Kinuhata's favorite expression finally looked a little better.

After finishing the job, the armored vehicle roared towards Shirai-san, after all, there was a group of guys involved in criminal activities there.

Natsume Sonoko waved goodbye to Teacher Yomikawa and the others. She actually had to go to the security building to write some documents tomorrow. This was more trouble. Why was it so hard to be a good citizen who was brave enough to do something righteous?

And although a certain bun-haired girl tried her best to avoid it, this time she was still involved with this strange organization called "Props". However, if things happened again, the righteous Natsume Sonoko would still not sit idly by.

She, Natsume Sonoko, is a turret mage who specializes in concealment and escape. With the protection of Shirai, a veteran assassin and tool man, there won't be any problem.

Things here came to an end, and Natsume Sonoko immediately rushed to the Ghost Chaser's research institute.

According to the information available, it seems that Misaka-senpai had a fight with the vicious woman named Atomic Collapse.

Compared with his own soft fighting style, the battle scene there must be amazing, and the research institute may have to face difficult problems such as demolition.

Although the equipment in the research institute had nothing to do with him, the guy with the ball head still felt so distressed that he couldn't breathe. What great equipment, what a great supercomputer, he was worried that he would break it even if he touched it before.

Whether with the intention of helping Misaka-senpai or rescuing the equipment, Natsume Sonoko immediately used the Superman flight mode she had created not long ago, and tried to fly forward against the strong wind at night.

"What is that, a giant human-shaped bat?"

Natsume Sonoko passed by a building and looked at a black shadow not far away in some confusion. The thing was hanging upside down on the roof of the top floor of the hundred-meter-high building, and there seemed to be a faint light reflected from the glass or other objects.

However, someone immediately understood something and looked at the giant humanoid bat with some surprise. It turned out to be this senior schoolmate who was still collecting materials so late.

As expected, at night in Academy City, even the sky is colorful. I am still too young.

"Strange, the light has become chaotic."

Someone flew silently past the giant bat, and a Tokiwadai student named Hata Ranko suddenly put away her photographic equipment, as if she had discovered something wrong with the light.

Not long after, Natsume Sonoko arrived at the location of the Underworld Soul-Hunting Research Institute.

Natsume Sonoko's face was full of surprise and she was speechless.

The area in front of the institute looked like it had been punched with countless deep holes by a pile driver, with earth and rocks rolling like a construction site. The ground had become charred and there was occasionally soil that was almost vitrified.

As for the research institute, its walls were also full of potholes and traces of fighting. There was even a large hole two people tall on one wall.

"Where is Misaka-senpai?" Natsume Sonoko then realized that she seemed to have not seen any trace of Misaka-senpai.

Why are all the people gone?

At this moment, a burst of intensive explosions suddenly came from the distance, and it seemed that a large number of containers were hit by the air waves, making chaotic and loud echoes.

"The container yard nearby." Hearing the explosion, Natsume Sonoko immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from.

There is a storage yard near the research institute with a large number of abandoned containers, and it seems that Misaka-senpai and the others have gone there.

Just when someone was about to leave, he discovered that there was human body heat in the institute and there were people in the institute.

When she walked into the research institute, Natsume Sonoko found that Teacher Kiyama Haruo was half-sitting on the ground with his eyes turned red.

Natsume Sonoko immediately understood that this was the aftereffect of using the Fantasy Hand. Kimiyama Haruo was using the Fantasy Hand to control something.

"Teacher Kiyama, are you okay?" Natsume Sonoko had just helped Teacher Kiyama up when she suddenly heard footsteps.

"Doctor, you're back." Natsume Sonoko looked back and saw the Ghost Chaser Doctor.

"Well, it looks like the outcome is about to be decided over there." Doctor Ghost Chaser looked into the distance through the hole in the wall. There was quite a commotion there. A huge steel container was used as a shell by Misaka-senpai for a certain railgun, and the ground was making a deafening rumbling sound.

Just like Natsume Sonoko by the river, Misaka-senpai can also exert greater strength in places where there are many steel products.

Don't just think of it as a pile of containers; those are railgun shells.

Chapter 129: Ending

In the distance, there was a constant rumbling sound caused by the collision of a large number of heavy objects, as if one had come to a demolition site. The noise caused by Senior Misaka was almost comparable to that of several professional demolition teams.

Natsume Sonoko looked intently at the battlefield in the distance. In someone's sight, more than a dozen containers were suspended in the air, as if they had suddenly lost gravity.

Each container weighs at least several tons, and the weight of more than a dozen is a terrifying number. It is conceivable that the power of using it to hit someone should be quite strong.

But in just a moment, these containers suspended in the air were destroyed by the white light of atomic collapse and became riddled with holes in an instant.

These broken containers disintegrated into countless small pieces in the air, and the small fragments became sharp and pointed, like scattered large fireworks.

And then these fragments were controlled by Senior Misaka, and the sharp fragments were like countless killing weapons, almost covering half of the sky.

So strong.

Natsume Sonoko widened her eyes slightly and looked at the commotion caused by Misaka-senpai in amazement.

As the opponent, Atomic Honsha is not good at defense. Facing such an overwhelming attack, it will definitely gradually fall into a disadvantage.

Misaka-senpai's power generation ability may not be as high as Atomic Hounsou, but as a person with special abilities, Misaka-senpai is definitely better than Mugino Shiori in the development and use of her abilities.

There seemed to be monsters controlled by Mr. Kiyama there. Originally, Natsume Sonoko was planning to go over to help, but it seems that this is not necessary.

After retracting her gaze, Natsume Sonoko touched her nose. Even from a distance, she could still smell the pungent burnt smell coming from afar, making it difficult to breathe.

"It looks like Misaka-senpai has the upper hand."

Natsume Sonoko said in a low voice, and her mood finally relaxed. Although a lot of things happened tonight, at least no bad consequences were caused, and everything was developing in a good direction.

The only two shortcomings are that Shirai was injured and the ghost-chasing doctor's research institute was destroyed.

"By the way, Doctor Netherworld, Hatsuharu and the others have found the 'initial sample'."

After looking at the devastated research institute and hesitating for a few seconds, Natsume Sonoko told Shirai about how she discovered the original sample.

"Is that so? This is really good news. Banri and the others can finally live a normal life."

The Ghost Chaser paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"But I don't know if the equipment here can still be used, otherwise the development of the complete version of the suppression program may be delayed again."

The ghost-chasing doctor held his chin and became a little worried about the condition of the equipment.

"I'm going to the first and second floors to check the situation. I hope there won't be any serious problems. What about you, Natsume?" The Soul Chaser turned around and said to Natsume Sonoko.

"Then I'll go too." Natsume Sonoko also spoke up.

On the first floor there are rows of supercomputer mainframes, which are intricate and have numerous wiring.

The original gate of the research institute had now become a pile of ruins, and even the computer mainframes on the first floor had suffered some setbacks, some of them had fallen over.

Fortunately, the damage here is not very serious. Only a few computer chassis near the gate were damaged, while those farther away are relatively well preserved, but some circuits seem to need to be replaced.

The problem on the second floor was more serious. Nearly half of the area was affected, and many sophisticated instruments were destroyed by the aftermath of the explosion, which was a pity.

"The problem is not too big. There are some spare equipment and instruments in the basement of the institute that were replaced before. This supercomputer can be put into use immediately after repair, but its performance will be reduced. However, after this setback, this supercomputer will need regular maintenance and debugging."

Although Academy City's supercomputers are expensive, they are not prone to malfunction or damage.

For example, the designer of the tree diagram operated alone in space for several years, but no matter how good the quality was, it could not withstand the combined damage of the railgun and atomic collapse.

After walking around the institute, Mingtu Zhuihun also checked the losses of the institute. The losses were not small, but in Mingtu Zhuihun's eyes, there was not much regret, just some trouble.

“Does it require regular maintenance and debugging?”

Natsume Sonoko listened with some hesitation, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Maybe I can try to recommend myself. In fact, I know a little about debugging. I debugged my laptop myself. Then I will be able to use a supercomputer.

However, someone's plan does not seem to be feasible. It is not uncommon for junior high school students to participate in scientific research, but it seems that I really do not have the talent for it.

Just when someone was feeling anxious, the Ghost Chaser Doctor walked towards a laboratory on the second floor and came to the remains of a glass container where the humanoid monsters were once stored.

The containers here have been destroyed, and all the green liquids originally placed in the containers have flowed out.

The ground was full of this green liquid, and its strong corrosiveness was about to dissolve large holes in the ground. One could even see steel bars that were almost corroded. Not only was it corrosive, but there was also a distinct pungent smell floating in the air nearby.

"Oh no! These solutions are quite toxic and corrosive. They must be collected into designated containers." The Underworld Chaser frowned slightly, quickly covered his mouth and nose, and pulled Natsume Sonoko away from that location.

"Don't worry, doctor. Leave this to me."

Natsume Sonoko also held her breath slightly, and her expression became slightly serious.

Water vapor in the nearby space began to gather, forming visible flowing ripples, which wrapped around the green liquid and floated into the air.

After all the liquids were transported to the designated waste liquid tank, the environment on the second floor finally returned to normal.

At this time in the container yard, the battle has come to an end.

The humanoid monster controlled by Haruo Kiyama grabbed Maizono Shenli's body and threw her from the ground into the air.

And just as Mai Ye Shenli flew into the air, he stretched out his hand slightly, gathering several atomic collapse beams into one, focusing this beam of light to rapidly expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the expansion ended, a huge beam of light with a diameter of more than one meter fell from the sky and instantly penetrated the body of the monster.

This time the beam attack lasted for quite a while, almost using the full strength of atomic destruction.

Even when fighting with Misaka Mikoto, Mai Ye Shenli still kept her eyes on the monster. She also had several wounds on her body, but these wounds did not affect her fighting ability.

The penetrating damage of the light ended, and the monster turned into a bare stone again.

The high-intensity atomic collapse caused extremely high temperatures, and even light was distorted due to the high temperature. At this temperature, almost all cell tissues on the meteorite were killed.

But it still failed. The monster tissue began to grow again and soon returned to its original appearance.

There were some bloodstains on Mai Ye Shenli's face and wounds all over his body. He looked a little weak and seemed to have consumed a lot of physical strength and calculation ability.

"Damn it, it's just that little bit short." Mai Ye Shenli gritted his teeth and seemed a little unwilling. Even though he was about to reach his limit, he still didn't want to give up.

"Mugi, let's go, let's retreat for now."

Franda was already covered in dust and dirt, and she said while pulling Mai Ye Shenli's arm.

"Frenda, get away from me." Mai Ye Shenli pulled Frenda away and glared at the monster in front of him and Misaka Mikoto who was watching him covetously.

"Hey, you old high school woman, how long are you going to make such a fuss?" Senior Misaka dropped from the sky with a look of helplessness on her face.
