Temperature Control in Academy City

Before he could sort out anything useful, his head was already filled with other people's emotions and thoughts, which brought some extra trouble to Natsume's normal life.

Moreover, these thoughts cannot be digested and integrated, because they belong to other people's emotions and distractions, which will confuse Natsume's own consciousness. Perhaps it is a good idea to let the brain slowly forget them.

Although these thoughts numbered in the hundreds, they were no match in quality. Under Natsume's strong consciousness suppression, all the annoying thoughts died down instantly.

As long as you have strong inner strength, or as Sogiita Gunha calls it, backbone, then no matter how many other people think, they will not be able to affect you.

Putting the still dormant fat cat from the desk into the bag, the great god looked much better than he did yesterday.

At least there is no more transparent and blurred appearance, and the body shape has been partially restored.

Natsume didn't know how the fat cat got her into this state, nor did she know what happened when she was unconscious. But she seemed to be able to feel that the fat cat was getting more and more entangled with her, and even after becoming like this, he didn't forget to come back to trouble her.

As if there was a sense of déjà vu that she could never get rid of the other person, Natsume, who had unknowingly accumulated a lot of problems, had an urge to cry.

"Moshimoshi, this is the Underworld Soul Chaser."

Suddenly feeling a vibration, Natsume hurriedly took out his newly bought smart phone from his bag. As soon as he answered the phone, he heard the voice of the ghost-chasing doctor.

"Doctor, what's the matter?"

"Is there something wrong with the invader called Wind Ahead?"

Slightly stunned, Natsume-san asked with some concern.

"The wind ahead is very good, so there's no need to worry too much."

"Actually, I made you a little something that might help with your condition."

"And Natsume, you probably also feel the changes in yourself. There are some things I must find time to talk to you about."

The Underworld Soul Chaser continued.

Among Natsume's missed calls is a call from this ghost-chasing doctor.

It seemed that he was unwilling to wait even for one more day. The Hades Chaser knew clearly that the condition of a certain bun-haired girl had deteriorated to the extreme.

If no treatment is taken within a week, the girl named Natsume Sonoko will most likely suffer from brain damage.

Chapter 593: Straight to the Point

No matter how much sugar she consumes, or how much high-calorie cream and cake she stuffs into her mouth, or even if she lies down motionless after every meal, Natsume Sonoko does not have to worry about the risk of gaining weight, because her brain will naturally help her consume and use the excess energy.

It has been like this since elementary school, and has been maintained smoothly until now. She even thought that she was born with a physique that would not gain weight, and she was even complacent about it.

However, when the brain's activity exceeds a certain limit and continues to develop without limit, this balance can no longer be maintained.

There is not much fat and muscle in the whole body, and even the internal circulation gradually becomes unsustainable. This is a sign that the body has completely entered the stage of collapse.

"The treatment is going to start so soon?"

“I thought it would take a while.”

After hanging up the phone with the ghost-chasing doctor from the underworld, the girl shook her head with a look of surprise on her face, muttering something under her breath.

She had originally planned to visit Chuchun and the others at the Discipline Committee Branch, but now it seemed that she had no choice but to go to the hospital first. She just didn't know if the Underworld Soul Chaser doctor had any food.

However, she often saw some candies and biscuits for children on the doctor's desk, which were at least better than black tea and milk to resist hunger. Considering her age, she was still a child, so it was not too much to take more.

Speaking of treatment, Natsume still remembers that the dormitory supervisor gave her a large stack of "out-of-town application forms" to make it easier for her to go out to see a doctor.

Natsume was very touched by the adults' concern for her and was willing to cooperate, but she still had no sense of crisis.

Just like adults who like to stay up late, they know that staying up late is harmful to the body, but few of them can make up their minds to get a good night's sleep.

This invisible and commonplace thing is the most likely to paralyze a person, making them ignore the risks that are gradually accumulating until the day when it completely erupts.

Natsume is probably in a similar situation. Losing weight or gaining weight is just a very common phenomenon. Even if you lose weight quickly, it is not always a bad thing for girls.

“But I’ve lost a lot of weight.”

"Is it really like what the ghost-chasing doctor said? I have to receive treatment."

Natsume reached out and touched his cheek, but could only feel a thin layer of skin. He could no longer pinch out the flesh like before.

There were no visible flaws on the fair skin, only the outline of the bones was clearly visible.

The previous skinny look has completely turned into a pathological look, but it is not easy to see at a glance because it is wrapped in gauze on the head and covered by the bangs.

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She was not like this yesterday. She could feel some flesh when she pinched her face. This obvious change happened in just one day.

"Is it because of my ability? I also think that the progress is too fast."

"Especially last night, the improvement in my abilities was beyond my understanding. This is not a normal speed of ability development at all."

With some strange thoughts in her mind, Natsume Sonoko finally came back to her senses.

She had always felt that yesterday's increase in ability was not logical, but if the price was her body, some aspects of it would make sense.

The development speed of the brain of a person with special abilities is not gradual like killing monsters and upgrading in online games. It can be artificially increased through various stimuli.

The Academy City's system for developing users with special abilities was established for this reason. Otherwise, the universe would only have users with special abilities like the Stone.

As long as someone stimulates his or her brain beyond the limit, and his or her brain and body also give enough responses without touching the so-called limit of ability development, it is indeed possible for a dramatic increase in ability to occur in a very short period of time.

You should know that some people can directly become people with higher levels of abilities on the first day of their ability development, without having to climb up slowly from lv0.

The extreme pain that he felt in his brain when he woke up, as well as the severe changes that have occurred in his body now, seem to tell Natsume that this speculation is possible.

But Natsume had no idea what kind of excitement beyond the limit could be achieved to this extent.

"A new plan similar to the Absolute Ability Plan?"

"And it seems to be targeting me alone and has not affected others."

Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and Natsume couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, there was no anger or rage on her face, because it was still just her guess.

A familiar white cylinder sat under his butt, carrying Natsume Sonoko steadily to the hospital where the ghost-chaser was.

On the way to the hospital, I received another call from the police officer who was looking after my senior.

"I almost forgot. I also left those four guys in Misaka Apartment. They are the ones who came to attack Last Order before."

"Always call Shokuhou-senpai first."

As if she finally remembered something she had missed, Natsume-san had an embarrassed look on her face.

She left behind some people and things in Misaka Apartment. In addition to the four Anbu guys, her trophy hammer was also thrown in the corridor.

Before, Natsume Sonoko asked Dolly to take care of those four people to prevent them from bleeding to death.

And according to the request of the white-haired guy, I have to send them to Shokuhou-senpai to read their minds and find out the mastermind behind it.

But at this moment, she could only ask Shokuhou-senpai to go over there, otherwise Natsume would feel a little uneasy about keeping that dangerous guy in Misaka Apartment.

...

After jumping off the cleaning robot, Natsume Sonoko saw several security teachers leaving the hospital gate one after another.

After the rescue last night, the intruder with the strange name had been transferred to another place, leaving only some investigation and record-keeping to be completed.

However, no security teacher has come to see her until now, so Natsume Sonoko can be sure that the Ghost Chaser Doctor has helped her hide the secret.

This made Natsume Sonoko breathe a sigh of relief. The doctor was really reliable and saved her a lot of trouble. At least she didn't have to go to the security building to take a statement.

She has absolutely no interest in being a hero.

It's tiring and troublesome. If someone is in danger, they will think of them first. If they don't go or don't do well, they will easily be recorded in their notebook.

She should just continue to work as a discipline committee member out of interest. She gets a salary and allowance, and everyone around her likes her.

Thinking about all sorts of things in her head, Natsume Sonoko, who had just walked into the hospital, met the ghost-chasing doctor who was buying coffee near the vending machine in the lobby again.

Vending machines seem to have the effect of a birth point in this city, and you can always meet the person you want nearby.

Before she could say anything, the frog-faced doctor put down his coffee, took out something that looked like a watch from his pocket and handed it to Natsume Sonoko.

"This is a watch-shaped therapeutic device that has been made. It can slightly alleviate the condition you are experiencing, Natsume-san. I will give you the formula for the nutrient solution you need later, or you can come to my place once a week to get it."

"Similarly, I also need to conduct a comprehensive examination of your body and brain to develop a plan that is more suitable for your situation."

The ghost-chasing doctor put his hands in his pockets, looked deeply at the short girl in front of him, and spoke straight to the point.

Chapter 594: Awkward Meeting

As if to cater to the aesthetic tastes of young girls, the watch-shaped therapeutic device prepared by the Underworld Soul Chaser was coated with a cute pink and white coating, with some wheat-ear-like patterns extending from the outer shell to the vicinity of the buckle.

It has a mechanical metallic texture all over, and has a translucent cover that can be flipped up and down and marked with a timetable. With the rotation of the internal movement and hands, it can be used to check the time just like a normal watch.

There is a small socket on one side of the watch, which can be used to insert a nutrient solution container the size of a fingernail.

Extending from the back of the watch are a large number of microscopic villus needles, which are composed of nanomachines and high-strength materials. They can connect to the capillaries under the skin according to the movement of the human body and the frequency of the pointers. At the same time, they can also monitor the blood flow rate and sugar content, and self-regulate the speed of delivering nutrient solution.

In short, this is the final product of Plan No. 1 that the Ghost Chaser Doctor had designed a long time ago and was ready to provide to Natsume-san.

The principle is to increase the nutrients needed by the body, and use external machinery to assist the body in fighting against the brain's plunder. It is equivalent to allowing people to eat more bowls of rice without being limited to the stomach of a certain ball head.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the role of this watch can only delay the arrival of physical collapse, allowing Natsume Sonoko's body to last a little longer, but it has no possibility of resolving the main contradiction.

"Hey, is this for me?"

A faint blush immediately appeared on her little face. Natsume Sonoko excitedly took the watch, which had an exquisite appearance and looked very high-end, and put it on happily.

The doctor was such a nice guy, he gave me a watch as soon as we met.

Although I heard that it is a therapeutic device, it looks really nice.

Unconsciously, she has transformed from a country girl carrying a standard schoolbag to a fashionable person carrying branded bags and wearing high-end watches. In a way, she has finally become more like a lady.

Thinking of this, she felt an urgency in her heart, wanting more people to see her more ladylike side.

"Come to think of it, I think I've seen something similar somewhere."

Natsume couldn't help but tilt his head, and his thoughts began to wander again.

If an anesthetic needle function is installed on the watch, it will look more like one.

"As long as you put nutrient solution in the socket, the transparent cover will begin to change color. Natsume-san, you can understand the changes in the concentration of the nutrient solution inside by the different colors on the cover."

"And each new tube of nutrient solution, according to my previous design, is enough to maintain the nutrients needed for a whole day. But according to your current condition, Natsume, you may need to change it twice a day."

Bending down slightly, the Ghost Chasing Doctor of the Underworld rubbed the head of a guy with a ball-shaped head and spoke softly.

"That sounds like a bit of trouble."

"But I will do it."

Nodding obediently, a certain bun-haired guy muttered softly.

She quite likes this watch. It touches her girlish heart in every aspect. Plus, it seems to change color, which makes it even more high-tech when you think about it this way.

And although it is a treatment device, there is no stinging sensation like an injection after putting it on. At first, I could feel something furry against my skin, but after a while, I couldn't feel it at all, as if it had merged with my skin.

What an easy treatment.

Natsume Sonoko's heart was slightly excited. This was completely different from what she had imagined.

When I first came here, I thought I would have to go through all kinds of scary treatments, but now it seems that my worries were completely unnecessary.

The ghost-chasing doctors in the underworld always take the patients' feelings into consideration. It is really great to be able to treat the disease without any pain at all.

"By the way, there are some things I need to discuss with you, Natsume-san."

"Everything we are going to do next has a very important prerequisite, so I must ask for your consent."

"But even if you disagree, Natsume-san, I will do my best to treat you. Children like you should have an easier time."

Walking in front, the Underworld Soul Chaser Doctor suddenly stopped and spoke in a low voice.

As a doctor, he needs to consider various conditions for the patient and recognize the other party's possible choices.

"What premise?"

Following the ghost-chasing doctor down the hospital corridor, Natsume asked in surprise, fiddling with her new watch curiously as she walked.

At this time, a doctor with several hideous scars on his face walked past Natsume. These scars extended diagonally from left to right, giving him an inexplicable feeling of ferocity. He greeted the Ghost Chaser Doctor as he walked past.

However, there is not much to note about this doctor. Natsume has seen him several times in this hospital and heard that he is a highly skilled surgeon.

But what made Natsume pay attention was the senior Misaka Mikoto, who was sneaking around a few dozen meters behind the scar-faced doctor, wearing a casual hat and a set of Kawata-style casual clothes.

No wonder it feels like I haven’t seen Misaka-senpai for a long time.
