Temperature Control in Academy City

"So, Sonoko, do you believe in the existence of magic?"

Index saw the reaction of a certain bun-haired girl and asked in a low voice, it seems that people in Academy City don't believe in magic.

"Believe."

Speaking of magic, Natsume Sonoko herself has seen it several times.

Seeing Natsume Sonoko nodded vigorously, Index's face immediately became happy.

"Sonoko is the best. Touma refused to believe me at first and even broke my 'Mobile Church'."

As soon as Index finished speaking, her face turned red, and it was unclear whether she was angry or something else.

In order to find the magic, Index circled around someone several times, looking him up and down for a long time.

"Found it. It turned out to be this thing."

Index had an astonishing expression on her face, and was looking at the amulet in her hand.

"Hey, Index, are you sure?"

Natsume Sonoko was a little overwhelmed and half-knelt down to observe the amulet with Index.

She still remembered that this amulet was sent by her cousin Takashi and she had always carried it with her.

"This is a magic from the magic book 'Neon Monster Chronicle', called 'Anti-River', which can gradually gather good luck nearby and avoid some less powerful magic."

Index nodded and spoke, but she was also a little puzzled. Humans should not be able to use this magic. Are there really monsters in this world?

"Really? I thought it was just an ordinary amulet." This is the look on someone's face when he is making a fuss about nothing.

Some of the treasures kept the amulets close to their bodies. Natsume Sonoko had a silly smile on her face. Amulets that increase good luck sounded great.

Just when someone was thinking about calling to thank his cousin Takashi, something seemed to happen not far away and things became lively.

"It's Touma who's here."

Index jumped up and down a little, holding Natsume Sonoko's hand and running towards that direction.

"Sonoko, Touma is here to pick me up." Index said happily.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going."

Kamijou Touma put one hand behind his head and bowed slightly to apologize. Opposite him was a Misaka sister, who was looking at Kamijou Touma with a blank look.

Although Kamijou Touma had lost his previous memories, no one could ignore the strange girl who was attractive when she saw him, making him want to run away reflexively, and then he ran into another attractive girl.

"It's okay. Misaka 9977 thinks this is just a trivial matter."

"Misaka 9977? It really feels like something out of a science fiction movie."

Kamijou Touma muttered to himself, which attracted a stare from No. 9977.

“How come you all look exactly the same? Are you twins or clones?” Kamijou Touma tried to divert attention with a joke.

"It's a clone, Misaka 9980 said seriously." Another Misaka sister spoke up.

"It's true." With a grin, Kamijou Touma finally became serious and looked at the Misaka sisters in front of him with some concern.

"Touma, I'm here." Index's voice came.

"Index." Kamijou Touma also waved his hand.

"Sonoko, I have to get off work. Touma wants to take me out for a nice dinner today. He finally got his scholarship."

Index looked at Kamijou Touma with resentment, as if she was worried about his financial strength.

"Sorry, we'll be leaving first then."

Kamijou Touma nodded and said, glancing at the Misaka sisters a few more times, with a look of concern on his face.

Looking at Kamijou Touma walking away, Natsume Sonoko had a vague feeling that he also seemed to know something about Misaka sisters.

The Misaka sisters are wandering around in the Seventh School District, and sooner or later Misaka-senpai or someone else will find out. Natsume Sonoko can't help but feel a little confused. Apart from defeating Accelerator like in the original plot, she hasn't come up with any good ideas so far.

The only good news now is that there is no experiment scheduled for tonight either. This can be regarded as a reward for someone's efforts to prevent the experiment.

The food tasting activity in the supermarket easily filled their stomachs and finally helped Misaka sisters find a place to eat. Natsume Sonoko also felt a little relaxed.

When we returned to Misaka Apartment, many Misaka sisters had returned one after another.

However, there was another thing facing Natsume Sonoko.

"Knowing that the other Misakas live here, Misaka No. 10001 has come to visit us."

A girl with a violin case on her back and goggles on her eyes, who looked like a newbie named Misaka, was standing in the yard.

"A new Misaka sister?"

Natsume Sonoko looked at the Misaka sisters in front of her seriously, with a thoughtful look on her face.

"I announce that new roommates will be moving into dormitory 101 soon."

Natsume Sonoko stood in front of the first room on the first floor of Misaka Apartment with a menacing look, with four expressionless Misaka sisters in front of her.

"Misaka 9999 showed a look of dissatisfaction with the dormitory supervisor's arrangement."

"The objection is invalid. 101 is now a five-person dormitory."

Natsume Sonoko showed her authority as a dorm supervisor. Actually, if they squeezed a little, six people could live in each room... well, eight people should be no problem.

"Now the dormitory head is taking the new roommate to buy daily necessities. If there are any expenses, let the new Misaka sister pay for it herself."

Natsume Sonoko thought for a while and said that the Misaka sisters who had just left the research institute were actually quite rich.

After dealing with the new Misaka sister, Natsume Sonoko glanced at the other Misaka sisters.

She had a skull-shaped ring on her finger and a badge on her waist, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised as if something happy had happened.

"Hey, Misaka-san 9982, did you buy this Quata-like stamp?"

Natsume Sonoko asked curiously. She recognized No. 9982 at a glance. The ring was taken from her, but there was an extra "Guatai" badge on it.

"Onee-sama gave it to me," Misaka 9982 couldn't help but show a happy expression.

"Misaka-senpai?"

Natsume Sonoko reacted immediately. As expected, unless the actions of the Misaka sisters were restricted, it would not be feasible to hide the idea from Misaka senior.

After staying in Misaka Apartment for a short while, Natsume Sonoko walked out of the door of Misaka Apartment.

Of course, the poor Misaka sisters also had to go to the supermarket for dinner, but this was obviously not a long-term solution. Natsume Sonoko already had a poverty alleviation plan for the Misaka sisters in her mind.

The attack on the group of disabled people has come to an end, with only a few school districts' worth of bad boys left to be attacked.

However, Natsume Sonoko was not going to continue, as the effect she wanted had almost been achieved.

As she was thinking, Natsume Sonoko suddenly became alert.

Although someone didn't use his ability much, he could still vaguely feel the heat around him. Natsume Sonoko discovered that someone was following her.

As she walked, Natsume Sonoko's figure gradually disappeared and completely disappeared at a corner.

At this time, a sneaky figure stopped where he was, frowning as he looked at Natsume Sonoko who had disappeared.

Got you.

The soles of his feet suddenly froze and connected to the ground. The figure just wanted to exert force, but was tripped by his own strength and finally managed to slowly climb up.

"This is the uniform of the Longji Academy, and it's a girl's."

Natsume Sonoko stood not far away, looking at the man strangely, but she seemed to have seen him somewhere. The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed, and someone's memory was unconsciously completed.

"It turned out to be her."

Finally remembering, Natsume Sonoko melted the ice on the soles of the person's feet, allowing her to regain the ability to walk.

"I'm here to talk to you. Natsume-san, I already have all the information about you, and I also know everything about your help with Misaka Mikoto's clone."

Butsuko Toshin tidied up his scattered hair, brushed off the dust on his body, and then continued.

Chapter 138: Fantasy Hand is online again

In a family restaurant called John's House, Natsume Sonoko ordered a matcha cake, scooped up a spoon and hovered it in the air, looking vaguely at the figure opposite.

Directly opposite is a girl wearing the school uniform of Changdian Shangji Academy. If we consider that Changdian Shangji Academy is a high school, then the other person should be a high school student.

After receiving such insignificant information, Natsume Sonoko didn't know how to start the conversation and waited for the other party's answer.

“The coffee here is a little too sweet.”

After waiting for a while, the high school student named Fusuzu Toshin spoke, lowering his head slightly and taking a sip of coffee.

"I have a question. You should know the rumor about the third clone."

Blowing away the foam on the coffee, Butsuko Toshin spoke softly, his tone flat without any fluctuation.

The two eyes were like those of dead fish, with a hint of emotionless indifference. Natsume Sonoko, who was being looked at by such a pair of eyes, had to take it seriously.

"But since you've been with those third person clones, you should know a lot."

Without waiting for Natsume Sonoko to reply, Butsuko Toshinori started talking to himself, with an inexplicable scrutiny in his eyes.

At this time, Natsume Sonoko was a little confused. Has the rumor about clones spread so widely?

To some extent, I just learned about this rumor, but I didn't deny it. If we only talk about clones, I do know a lot.

"So, the person in the black cloak who attracted bad boys from various school districts to District 7 must be you."

Taking the initiative to speak again, Butsuko Toshin's tone finally fluctuated a little, with a hint of inquiry in it.

According to some information she had obtained, the junior high school student in front of her did have the ability and reason to do these things, and seemed to have a close relationship with the third person.

The only problem is the difference in information. The rumors circulating on the Internet now are just about a plan to mass-produce people with special abilities, and not the more secretive plan to evolve people with absolute special abilities. However, the person in front of him seems to know something that he shouldn't know.

Although the Absolute Ability Plan is not top secret, it is not circulated among the general student population.

Natsume Sonoko hesitated for a moment, and only nodded after a while, which was considered a generous admission.

"Yes, I did do that."

"But I was inspired by others to do that. In fact, those envelopes containing stored-value cards should have been placed by you, senior sister."

As soon as Natsume Sonoko finished speaking, Fusuka Toshinori in front of her looked at someone in surprise.

"So it's because of me? As expected, you know a lot of things." Butsuko Toshinori nodded and did not deny it.

"Are you a hacker or..., I almost forgot, if you have your ability and do a little development, it should not be difficult to sneak into the research institute. So is that how you knew about these plans?" Butsuko Toshinori asked, his tone becoming indifferent again.

"Actually, I learned about it from Misaka and the others." Of course, certain mysterious soul memories cannot be mentioned, so Natsume Sonoko found a reason and said.

"I see." Butsuko Toshinori didn't dwell on this and nodded in response.

"Then this senior who is a little taller than me shouldn't be here just to discuss these things with me."

"Of course not. I came here to tell you something. The institute is tired of the terrible situation in District 7. At the latest tonight, the guards will go out to disperse all the bad boys stranded in District 7. And if the effect is not as expected, they will even consider changing the experimental site."

"It seems that all our efforts will soon be in vain." Butsuko Toshin put down his coffee, his expression still calm.

"How could this be?"

After hearing this not-so-good news, Natsume Sonoko suddenly felt a little confused. She was angry and helpless about the researchers' actions.

In any case, the security guards were only doing their job to disperse the bad boys, and no one could blame them for this.

"So, the experiment will start again tomorrow. According to the progress of the experiment, it is almost Misaka No. 9977." Futsuka Toshinori continued at this time.

"This is absolutely not okay."

Natsume Sonoko stood up from her seat, thinking of the poor Misaka No. 9977 and others who had gone to the supermarket with her to beg for money at noon.

I couldn’t stop the previous experiment, but after this, I will never sit idly by and watch such an experiment happen again.

Using spiritual clones as experimental equipment is undoubtedly a very cruel thing.

Natsume Sonoko stood up from her seat, which immediately attracted some curious eyes nearby, but Natsume Sonoko ignored those insignificant eyes at this time, and her face was flushed as if she was very excited.

"I know you're angry, but the most we can do is to do something insignificant. We can only delay the experiment, but we can't stop it. Maybe we can let those researchers know that someone is against them and make our little characters' voices heard."

"Even if it's a level 5 railgun, its power is still too weak. Instead, I hope she can destroy those research institutes and perhaps suspend the progress of the experiments." Butsuko Toshinori said expressionlessly, his dead fish eyes staring at the coffee on the table.
