Temperature Control in Academy City

"If that's the case, why did you do that then?"

Natsume Sonoko could not understand the complexity of human nature, she just felt it was a little elusive and whispered something.

However, she did not expect Accelerator's answer. The relationship between the two was still close to freezing point, but it was not so confrontational.

According to the previous idea, Natsume once again controlled the hot air and began to invade Kihara Gensei's five orifices.

This time it seemed to be particularly smooth. After all, Kihara Gensei was not made up of mechanical parts as Natsume thought, and his brain was still in a relatively normal physiological state.

The previous obstacle that prevented him from getting close to Kihara Gensei has disappeared, and Natsume also realized that this must be related to the strange clothes.

A large amount of hot air forced its way into his body, and Kihara Gensei's old face instantly turned frighteningly red. Unable to struggle, he immediately fell into a state of shock.

On the other hand, the action on the other side was much smoother.

Anyway, when Natsume-san finally contacted Uiharu-san and the others, the situation on Shokuhou-san's side had already become clear.

When heading towards the source of the nano signal, Misaka-senpai did not encounter Jingsuke Kanto as expected, but instead only found Shokuhou Misaki lying against the wall.

Shokuhou-senpai had some serious injuries, including a slight fracture in her right arm and multiple soft tissue contusions on her body, but fortunately she was treated in time and there were no major problems.

The battle that was about to break out was averted without a trace. No matter why Keisuke Kanto gave up on Shokuhou Misaki, it seemed that she had accepted the fact that the experiment had failed.

Since it was impossible to destroy the building without doors and windows, it was meaningless to stay and stop Misaka Mikoto. The idea of ​​revenge was still buried in my heart, but the girl seemed to have some unexpected gentleness.

In fact, after the pain from the injury on her arm is relieved, Shokuhou-senpai can use her ability again to break free from control and fight against the pressure from the external brain.

It was just that the guards who were watching him constantly suppressed his thinking ability, so he couldn't get out of his coma.

With Kihara Gensei's shock and the departure of Jingsaku Kanto, the psychological control exerted on Shokuhou-senpai finally lost its effect and could no longer prevent the users of the same system from escaping their coma.

Chapter 388 Unable to Think

The two second-year seniors from Tokiwadai successfully met up, heralding the end of this incident.

However, unlike the tit-for-tat and irreconcilable scenes in the past, Shokuhou-senpai seemed very quiet after waking up. She allowed a certain railgun to do whatever it wanted to her without any resistance, until her body weighing more than 100 pounds was carried on someone's back.

"Shokuhou Misaki, I'm sorry this time. It was me who got you involved in this incident."

Senior Misaka looked a little conflicted, as if she didn't want to show her weakness in front of this opponent.

But seeing the miserable state of the other person, Misaka-senpai sighed slightly and told the truth, with a hint of sadness on her face.

At first she thought Shokuhou Misaki had bad intentions, even though her junior Natsume tried her best to explain it.

After experiencing the whole incident, Misaka-senpai also realized that Shokuhou Misaki at least had no ill will towards her, but it was because of her that she became one of Kihara Gensei's targets.

"I see. Since Misaka-san is apologizing sincerely, I will reluctantly forgive you for Natsume-san's sake."

"Come to think of it, I never thought Kihara Gensei would actually set his sights on me, so that explains why my whereabouts were exposed."

Shokuhou Misaki blinked, and a strange light appeared in her pupils, and her mind seemed a little wandering.

She had already thought of many things the moment her external brain was taken away by Kihara Gensei. Now, combined with some of the experiences narrated by Misaka Mikoto, many doubts in her mind had been resolved, and there was a reason why she was inexplicably ambushed in the juvenile reformatory.

"Kihara Gensei got the login account of the external computer from me. Now even I can't forcibly remove his permissions. I can't even enter the self-destruct password."

"After all, only one person can log into the external computer at the same time."

Walking through the densely packed buildings, Senior Misaka followed the instructions of the chubby girl behind her and headed to a building in the second school district where an external computer was housed.

That building was originally one of the bases of the artificial house, which was used to cultivate the cortex removed from Shokuhou Misaki's brain and enlarge it to make a brainwashing weapon.

But in essence, it is to create people with psychological mastery abilities that can be mass-produced.

This plan is somewhat similar to the vector operation calculation suit and its sisters, but the slight difference is that it is already in a mature stage, but was intercepted by someone who took the initiative.

"Is the external brain the reason why Kihara Gensei can use mental control?"

Misaka-senpai nodded and couldn't help but speed up her movements.

Even though she didn't know what the external brain was, Misaka Mikoto could guess its function.

This was probably the blond classmate's unspeakable secret. If he hadn't been forced into a corner by Kihara Gensei, he wouldn't have revealed it to her so easily.

"But if we can imitate what Kihara Gensei did and synchronize the brainwaves of the external brain, we can circumvent the restriction that only one person can log in at a time, and maybe we can still enter the self-destruct password in time."

Shokuhou Misaki said weakly that after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to find a way to destroy the external brain.

With such a huge flaw appearing, continuing to keep the external brain is already more harmful than beneficial. Shokuhou Misaki cannot guarantee that it will not be taken away by someone in a similar way again.

Although the two of them don't know how to synchronize their brain waves, Hatsuharu can still find a backup of the Fantasy Hand.

This method is feasible as long as we compile the sound file of the Fantasy Hand into brain waves and input it into the external brain.

But at this moment, Misaka-senpai's steps suddenly stopped, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and a message from Hatsuharu came through the earphone.

"what happened?"

Because of inertia, she suddenly felt a sense of pressure in her chest. Shokuhou Misaki shook her head and said with some confusion.

"Kihara Gensei has been dealt with by Sonoko."

Misaka-senpai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and immediately gave all the credit to Natsume-san.

...

School District 7, inside the safe house building.

This building, used to temporarily house the sisters, is not far from the site of the absolute ability user experiment.

But surprisingly, the building remained intact throughout, with only a few walls slightly damaged by the aftermath of the battle.

This can probably be attributed to the deliberate protection of a certain white-haired guy, who protected the building while protecting his sisters.

However, the internal circuits of the building were damaged and all kinds of electrical appliances were non-working. This was unavoidable.

"Sisters, there are so many sisters, Kuroko is so happy."

"In order to protect the future of the elder sisters, please let Kuroko do more."

"No, Shirai-san, you are also injured, so you should also rest well." Saten-san's exclamation seemed to be mixed in the middle.

"Heizi, you better behave yourself!"

This was a menacing warning from a certain railgun, but in the end it refrained from firing a 100,000-volt round.

The empty building had become more lively. The discipline committee lady with brown twin ponytails showed unprecedented enthusiasm and was taking good care of the sisters who had just woken up from a coma.

Although Shirai knew about the existence of Misaka-senpai's clones before this, the impact of hundreds of sisters seemed to make her too excited, and she completely forgot her previous sadness.

But judging from those noncommittal comments, this kind of work should be done by someone else.

More than ten minutes had passed since everyone gathered together, and the elevator in the building was broken, so everyone gathered in a few floors close to the ground.

Shokuhou-senpai also took over Kihara Gensei and gradually extracted many memories from his brain.

After sorting out the information about the memory virus implanted by Kihara Gensei, it was easy to overwrite the virus parts in the sisters' memories.

As new memories are uploaded and cover the Misaka network, sisters around the world slowly wake up.

"Should Shokuhou-senpai negotiate with the General Council to deal with the remaining issues caused by Kihara Gensei?"

Sitting on the windowsill somewhat bored, Natsume Sonoko was not interested in what the two senior students were discussing beside her, although it was equally important.

Shokuhou-senpai seems to have some connection with a director named Yakumi Hisako, and she also mentioned Kumokawa Seria-senpai who had met Maru-Head before, and that senior also has a direct communication channel with the board of directors.

Due to Kihara Gensei's sensitive identity, he was involved in some institutions and dark organizations this time, and the number of things that needed to be dealt with was astonishingly large. Fortunately, Shokuhou-senpai, a professional, was in charge of all of this.

Compared to Shokuhou-senpai, the other two esper users in Tokiwadai are much more naive, and they can hardly come up with any ideas when it comes to communicating with the authorities.

However, according to Shokuhou-senpai's previous analysis, although they cannot decide how Academy City will deal with Kihara Gensei, as victims of this series of events, they will at least not be blamed by the board of directors.

Obviously, he is the one being treated unfairly, and the minimum he can ask for is just to avoid being punished by the Academy City officials, and he may not even get any compensation. This is one of the reasons why Natsume has no interest in this kind of thing.

This embarrassing situation actually reflects the fact that students as a whole seriously lack the right to speak.

"But before I hand Kihara Gensei over to Academy City, I will have to do some special processing on his brain so that he can never concentrate and think."

"I will also dispose of all the information about us in his head to prevent that important information from falling into the hands of some people in Academy City."

Shokuhou-senpai and the two injured soldiers were leaning against the windowsill and suddenly spoke in a murderous tone.

Unlike Natsume, Shokuhou-senpai is never a soft-hearted person. She has her bottom line as a person with special abilities, but she also knows how to adapt.

Chapter 389: Shaking Wreath

The things you care about will one day be gone from you.

So before that, we need to try our best to grasp every bit of warmth.

Accelerator quietly stayed near the makeshift cushion, carefully watching over the sleeping girl in front of him.

It might be because of Misaka's network console. Last Order was most affected by the memory virus. After a long time, it opened its eyes weakly.

"That person, I seemed to fall asleep, and I even dreamed that you and onee-sama were fighting. Do, Misaka Misaka said somewhat confused."

As if sensing some eager gazes, the Last Order turned its head away somewhat embarrassedly, muttering softly.

"Ah, speaking of which, where am I now? Could this be the building that the kind-hearted Tokiwadai-sama prepared for us? Misaka Misaka suddenly thought of something and said happily."

With his fists clenched on his chest, Last Order sat up from the cushion.

However, his weak body was swaying a little, and he accidentally bumped into the nearby furniture. He covered his head and looked particularly aggrieved.

"Little boy, don't move around when you just woke up. If you break anything here, you'll have to pay for it. You can sleep a lot, and everyone else wakes up earlier than you."

"When you feel better, we'll get out of here."

With a look of disdain on his face, Accelerator stood up and said coldly.

Be it Misaka Mikoto, Natsume Sonoko, or the psychic named Shokuhou Misaki, they all expressed great concern about his existence, and secret vigilance could be seen everywhere.

After the crisis was resolved, he had originally planned to discuss how to deal with Kihara Gensei with a few people from Tokiwadai, but now he no longer had the heart to do so.

"Hey, can I go shopping for a while? It won't take long. We are already shopping anyway," Misaka Misaka said with shining eyes and great hope.

"up to you."

Accelerator said helplessly, feeling a bit of a headache, he had no good solution for Last Order.

"Is that the first person? He doesn't look as scary as the urban legend says."

Not far away, Saten looked at the boy with a head full of white hair with some concern, and spoke softly to Hatsuharu and the others beside her.

"That's right. Rumors are just rumors after all. Recently there are rumors that Natsume-san is a bad girl who likes to throw people into the trash can. How is that possible?"

Hatsuharu nodded in understanding and had no objection to this.

As someone who had spent such a long time with Natsume, she said that those were just rumors.

"But that person is very dangerous, and he is also the protagonist of the Absolute Ability Plan. There is no doubt about that."

The sisters woke up one after another, and the sound of them talking to each other filled the air. Shirai-san had nothing to do for a while, and she came over without him noticing.

Anyone who brings pain to Onee-sama is her enemy. Even though Accelerator seems to be on their side now, it does not prevent Shirai-sama from being vigilant.

"Zero, this is for you. I found some delicious bread in the room," Misaka 9982 said nonchalantly while waiting for Zero's response.

On the other side of the floor, Misaka No. 9982 blinked and stared at a confused girl, holding an open package in her hand.

Looking at Zero who obediently took the bread, some small expressions appeared on Misaka No. 9982's monotonous face. She curiously observed the way Zero ate, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed some curves.

"I'm full..."

Swallowing the bread and making childish sounds, Lingzi's big eyes looked particularly innocent. She held Misaka No. 9982 with one hand, appearing very intimate.

"Zhang..Yu..Mianzi, my sister is treating us, you and I..."

Lingzi imitated the pronunciation from memory and tried to say something, as if he remembered the octopus balls that a certain meatball-head had promised him.

Although it is not quite coherent, it makes people understand what she means. Ever since Natsume intervened in Reiko's life, the troubles of growing up have quietly befallen Reiko.

The red glow in the sky slowly rises and the sun sets in the west. The long day is finally coming to an end.

Although it was only a few hours, it felt like several months. Is this the legendary "days seem like years"?

In the corridor of a university hospital, Natsume looked at the densely wrapped bandages on her right arm with a bitter face. There was a rope hanging around her neck, and there were also bandages on her calves and stomach, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

A strong feeling of restraint enveloped someone's heart, and she didn't like this feeling very much.

However, after hearing Doctor Shatters say that if I didn't want to leave ugly scars on my arms, I should take care to protect my skin after applying the ointment, I nodded and put antibacterial bandages on my arms.
