Academy City Temperature Control

It seems that the outside population of Academy City has also entered this too deserted school district, but the open area is much smaller than a normal place like the [-]th School District, but it also brings rare popularity here.

The speed slowly decreased from high subsonic speed. Natsume-san easily found the location of the Juvenile Reformatory School based on the map of Academy City she remembered.

It is not far from the cemetery, and not far away is an abandoned nuclear energy laboratory. Perhaps there is a bacterial research institute hidden somewhere underground. The most eye-catching landmark is a completely dry lake, and the soil at the bottom of the lake has turned into an unsightly form. Comfortable black.

Facilities like the Garden of Hope are basically located on the border between the [-]th School District and other school districts. Once you get deeper into this school district, there are only all kinds of not-so-good things left.

Slowly stopping, Natsume classmate looked at the Juvenile Reformatory. From a distance, everything seemed normal. It was just a few buildings connected to each other, covering an area roughly equivalent to two Tokiwadai Middle School.

These buildings can easily make people think of prisons. In fact, except that most of the people detained inside are students, they are not much different from prisons.

After looking around, he saw that the six feathers were not here. Sure enough, he was overthinking, and the sense of urgency in Natsume's heart suddenly eased.

Chapter 3 No one is inside

The six feathers are not a great threat to him. As long as the six feathers have a mechanism to exchange materials with the outside world, Natsume-san will have a certain degree of confidence in disintegrating this machine from the inside.

However, Shokuhou-senpai is a natural enemy for those with mental system abilities. The uncontrolled air combat machine restrains them in all directions. Shokuhou-senpai's weakness is too obvious.

This kind of natural enemy that can be mass-produced is equipped with an advanced enemy detection system, which also means that Shokuhou-senpai actually needs a bodyguard who can fight.

So far, there is no one with enough strength in the queen's faction. The seemingly all-around athletic Junko Junko Junko probably cannot defeat a six-piece head-on.

It is good news that Rokukaba was not found. At least the one sent by Academy City to suppress them was not Shokuhou-senpai, which means that things did not completely get out of control.

The relaxed mood had not spread in her chest for long, and Natsume couldn't help but try to inhale to calm her slightly restless heart.

If possible, Natsume-san doesn't want to get close to this place that sounds depressing at first glance, and is even more resistant than participating in the Daihasei Festival.

This reformatory, where students are imprisoned, is located between light and darkness, where the two worlds are most likely to intersect.

Even for a not-so-ordinary student, you need to be mentally prepared to step into this place. Natsume-san is not yet brave enough to face everything calmly.

Still looking at the reformatory in front of him, Natsume lowered his height and landed firmly on a complex building.

Yes, even though the Juvenile Reformatory is the most unpopular place in Academy City, there are still some tall modern buildings dozens of meters away.

Unlike those nuclear test sites or cemeteries, these buildings can be regarded as auxiliary buildings of the juvenile reformatory. Their purpose is unknown, but they should not be shopping malls or something.

"This is probably a research institute or something."

Frowning her brows slightly, Natsume-san already had a dark and profound understanding of where she lived.

After one incident after another, she witnessed so many bizarre things. A certain side of this city had long been bloody and displayed in front of her and some people.

Misaka-senpai's mood seems to have improved recently. She even took injured Shirai-san for a walk before, but no one knows when the dark side in that senior's heart will completely burst out and take revenge on the city.

There are these buildings with unknown meanings near the Juvenile Reformatory. It is easy to guess what their purpose is. There will only be more and more people in this city who treat students as guinea pigs.

"There's no one in these buildings."

Natsume-san thought silently and looked at the building under his feet in surprise.

The building was clearly not abandoned and in working order, but empty of people.

There seems to be something going on here that Natsume-san doesn't know about.

"No matter what happens, we must find Shokuhou-senpai and bring her back."

Finally, he made a call to Shokuhou-senpai's cell phone, but there was still no answer from the other end.

After confirming his purpose in his head, Natsume-san no longer hesitated and continued to lower his height.

It doesn't matter who the so-called mastermind is.

Natsume-san doesn't know the plans behind those people, and there is no way to change their minds, but if you want to accompany them, Natsume-san has already come in person.

It's not up to Natsume-san to decide everything, whether you want to resurrect the absolute ability user or something else.Face it head-on until you achieve final victory, and then move on with your life.

The best way to solve troubles is to take the initiative. Natsume-san has always thought this way.

A certain meathead who has full defense and escape abilities attempts to use kite flying tactics to defeat all enemies.

No one can beat themselves before their computing power is exhausted, probably.

The building complex in front of me gradually grew larger, and Natsume's feet stepped on the outermost wall of these building complexes.

The external walls only surround the juvenile reformatory, and the building complex that is completely closed is where the main body lies.

The construction materials of the walls and houses are very ordinary, at most stronger than those commonly used in Academy City. Natsume-san feels that his air cannon can easily blow out big holes.

However, Natsume-san's understanding of the prison still comes from rumors on the Internet, which means that he has entered an area where information is very scarce.

I originally thought that I would encounter some unknown cutting-edge technological product soon, but there were no accidents until I got close to here.

It seems that this place is not equipped with the surveillance equipment that Natsume-san imagined that could detect the aim's position.

There are many conventional or less conventional detection instruments, which are enough to detect more than 90.00% of intruders or escapees.

Infrared scanning, sniffing systems, various types of security robots, or ubiquitous satellite surveillance cannot stop Natsume-san.

By the way, he used the air to lift his body up to ensure that his body would not put pressure on the surface here, because even Tokiwadai Middle School is equipped with a playground track that can sense pressure, and maybe there will be one here.

As the best stealth master in Academy City, Natsume-san can easily enter most heavily guarded places. In addition, he always likes to think about what is available and what is not. Coming here is like returning to his own home.

If equipped with a sharp dagger, Natsume-san can completely act as an assassin. However, being an assassin is a bit difficult to accept. She still likes to be a mage.

The wings behind him turned into little cyclones, and he jumped down from the high wall of more than ten meters.

Natsume, who always likes to do some dangerous moves, landed firmly, and the map in his head instantly captured all organisms within a 100-meter radius.

Somewhat strangely, there are no legendary mercenary corps from all over the world here, not even the shadow of guards can be seen, and there are not even groups of imprisoned students.

No one, everyone here has gone there.

Natsume-san's head suddenly felt a little dazed. Just like that building, no one here was missing, but various types of robots could clearly be seen.

Could it be that the juvenile reformatory has also kept pace with the times and completely entered the era of automation?

But Natsume-san immediately thought of his senior sister.

If you want to deal with that senior, fully mechanized is certainly suitable, but in that case, Shokuhou-senpai will definitely not be fooled.

Chapter 331 'Command' Mode

It was indeed a bit embarrassing to see no one everywhere, but Natsume-san didn’t think she would miss out.

As long as you spend some time with Shokuhou-senpai, you can find that she is actually extraordinarily persistent in certain things.

At this time, the Juvenile Reformatory looks like a small park on the roadside, suitable for tourists to visit, so it must have something to do with the senior sister.

Therefore, as long as he follows Shokuhou-senpai's ideas, he can immediately find clues to Shokuhou-senpai.

It turns out that Natsume-san really knows Shokuhou-senpai quite well.

Those with psychological control abilities must avoid the ubiquitous security and monitoring facilities, so they must find a place to stay nearby.

However, his behavior was completely opposite to what he was thinking in his head. Natsume-san plunged into the interior of the Juvenile Reformatory and was submerged in the huge building complex.

There was no point in looking for a place to stay at this time. A certain meathead decided to see what the senior sister was doing here, which caused her to fall into a state of disconnection.

From Area F to Area D of the Juvenile Reformatory, Maruko-Tou had completely lost his sense of direction and wandered around the place relying on the heat map in his head.

Roads extend in all directions and there are countless rooms.Although it looks like a small three-story building from the outside, there are underground floors inside, and the actual area is even larger than those on the surface.

Area F is a novice area, suitable for ordinary prisoners whose probation time is less than three months, and is located above the surface.

Area D is a little different. The prisoners here are basically all student prisoners with strong abilities and above. The level of elites is comparable to that of Tokiwadai, a prestigious school. It is located on the basement floor.

Basically the students here will spend their entire youth here.

In fact, the conditions for entering here are quite harsh, and Natsume-san doesn't sympathize with these people.

There are a lot of criminal incidents in Academy City every day, which are handed over to juvenile courts for public trials by security guards. Most of them are just sentenced to compulsory labor or short-term confinement. Very few students come to the juvenile reformatory.

Even if Shigefuku's classmates attacked Tokiwadai Middle School last time and caused the married senior sister to fall into a coma, the punishment was only to work outside the school for a few weeks. It would only be possible for serious incidents such as intentional serious injury or terrorist attacks. Will be imprisoned here.

From this point of view, Academy City's sentencing is actually quite lenient, and vandalism or fighting is nothing serious.

After all, this is a city of ability users, and too strict rules are not conducive to the development of ability users.

Shokuhou-senpai hasn't found it yet, but Natsume Sonoko is curious to explore this new map.

Also, Natsume's classmates subconsciously ignored the heat sensation below the ground.

Natsume-san's perception is a regular ball, which naturally includes the earthy space below the earth's surface.

Although she can receive heat feedback, Natsume Sonoko rarely processes information on substances below the surface and then feeds it back to the brain. At most, she uses some formulas for automated threat detection.

After entering the microscopic world last time, Natsume-san has been unable to selectively receive and process information, but she can easily do so in her own area of ​​ability.

The denser the material, the more computing power is required to process information. The consumption below the surface is far greater than above the surface. It is meaningless except for specifically looking for underground facilities.

In addition, Natsume-san does not always cover the radar map to the limit of his abilities.

The combination of the radar map and the constant temperature layer on the body keeps the computing power at a balance point between normal consumption and recovery.

I stumble towards you, but you can't leave alone.

Walking in the long underground passage, Natsume classmate and a driving armor looked at each other head on. The two walked away from each other, just like two passers-by who had no intersection.

The next second, dense layers of ice appeared on the driving armor, and then it was swept by huge wind waves and fell to the wall.

A look of joy appeared on Natsume's face. Ten minutes after leaving the competition venue, she finally met the first person at her destination.

Natsume-san's idea is very simple, which is to use the Kirin Arm to destroy the cockpit and see if the eyes of the people inside have star pupils.

With his arms raised high, the ice spread upwards along his elbows, forming a white fist as big as a sandbag, and then used the airflow to generate a huge driving force.

Punching hard, Natsume-san instantly dented the metal armor in front of the cockpit. It seemed to be harder than expected.

But Natsume-san is not worried about the condition of the driver inside. No matter what kind of driving armor, it protects people very well.

"Sure enough, it has star pupils."

Although the cockpit of the driving armor was opened, Natsume-san was inexplicably concerned, blinking and staring curiously at the female pilot in front of him.

The clothes on his body should be the uniform of a guard, so he is a staff member here.

So Shokuhou-senpai really captured this place.

But Natsume Sonoko and the others' goal from beginning to end was to find the traces of the mastermind behind the scenes.

According to Natsume-san's idea, the problem can be solved by secretly controlling a few managers. It is easy to find the person who forged documents to release the police, and the current situation seems to be developing in some unknown direction.

As for the fact that such a big thing happened without attracting the attention of the security guards and suppression troops, the senior sister's role should also be involved.

"Hey, Shokuhou-senpai, can you hear me? This is the Tokiwadai reinforcement team."

A certain guy tried to use the simplest way to attract the senior sister's attention. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched the female guard's face, but he didn't get any answer.

"Is it just some kind of 'instruction' implanted and not directly controlled by Shokuhou-senpai?"

Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and carefully recalled the senior sister's abilities.

A certain meathead didn't know much about Shokuhou-senpai's abilities, but he still knew the conventional methods of people with mental system abilities.

Before completing a specific instruction, such people controlled by the psychological system will be in a state of mind wandering, as if their brains have been forcibly commandeered.

This type of method is ineffective against Natsume-san, because beings like her must be carefully controlled, and the implanted instructions cannot cope with the brains of superpowers.

"Still in action?"

Natsume's face suddenly showed a trace of curiosity, because the female guard who was controlled by her was still trying to get up and wanted to continue doing something.

There are more people in Area D than expected, and there are even more people below, and these people are basically in some kind of coma.

Even the female guard seemed to have just woken up from a coma and continued to act according to the instructions.

After only a few seconds of hesitation, Natsume gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explore further.

It would be better to see what Shokuhou-senpai's instructions are first.

Chapter 332 Interference

The open environment can easily evoke the wonderful thoughts of a vast and distant world, something that few people living in big cities can appreciate.

Natsume's biggest feeling in District [-] is that there are many abandoned vacant lots, which look like scars in the city.

Abandoned research institutions or buildings can often be seen in these scars, and there may be delinquents living inside.

This is also one of the consequences of the cheap land prices in the Tenth School District. A large number of high-pollution and high-hazardous research institutions simply moved here, and then further lowered the land prices, completely turning it into an Academy City development.
