Chapter 69

Compression device

It was another ordinary morning in Tokiwadai Student dormitory. Natsume Enako, who woke up early and couldn’t sleep, closed the webpage and put her phone in her schoolbag.

After washing and dressing in the bathroom, she meticulously combed her hair into a bun. She didn’t look tired at all. She seemed to have completely adapted to the daily routine of Tokiwadai, which was much better than when she was always sleep-deprived when she first entered school.

Pulling open the curtains, Natsume Enako looked out the window. The sun only showed a small half of its outline, releasing a faint glow.

Is this the sun at five o’clock in Tokiwadai Student dormitory?

A few days ago, she said that she would work hard to exercise and change my current weak physical condition.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Although she couldn’t remember my ambitions yesterday and the day before yesterday, she must make a good start today.

Silently cheering myself up, Natsume Enako resolutely walked out of the door of 210. The corridor was still quiet at this time, and the doors of other dormitories were still tightly closed.

Closing the door quietly, trying not to make any noise, Natsume Enako quickly came downstairs.

But unexpectedly, she met the Dorm Supervisor at a corner.

However, the Dorm Supervisor at this time was very different from the majestic appearance of the usual day. His hair was a little messy, and he was only wearing casual clothes. He had not yet entered the working state.

He was holding a freshly washed women’s suit in his hand. The whole person was familiar and strange.

“Natsume-san, what are you doing standing there furtively?”

Even the Dorm Supervisor who had just woken up was keenly aware of the abnormality around her, and her sharp eyes cut Natsume’s dull face like a knife.

“Good morning, Dorm Supervisor.”

Natsume Enako showed an awkward smile, adhering to the 100% awe of all Dorm Supervisors, The whole body suddenly tensed up, and fell into an unpredictable state of stiffness.

“Actually, I was just passing by here and was planning to go out for morning exercise, Dorm Supervisor, the weather outside is really good today.”

Natsume-san said in a calm tone as much as possible, and tried to do a few exercise postures.

Being able to chat with the Dorm Supervisor smoothly is a great thing in itself.

“Natsume-san, I don’t mind you going to exercise, but it’s not time for the dormitory to open yet, so you can do morning exercises in the hall first.”

The Dorm Supervisor looked at Natsume in surprise, pushed her glasses up slightly, and narrowed her eyes as if examining her.

“By the way, if you don’t do morning exercises, just go back to the dormitory and sleep.”

The familiar voice of the Dorm Supervisor sounded, making someone feel a little embarrassed.

Under the Dorm Supervisor’s gaze, Senior Natsume Enako ran to the hall with gritted teeth, and then did a set of warm-up exercises in a very formal manner.

She have made up her mind, so She have to work hard.

“It looks good.” The Dorm Supervisor watched for a while, and then left with the women’s suit.

The door of the dormitory finally opened on time. Facing the sun at six o’clock, Natsume Enako felt a little bit of morning exercise. Before that, she was just doing indoor gymnastics.

“Remember to come back on time for breakfast, take a shower and change clothes before going to school, Don’t get dirty.” Before she walked far, Natsume Enako heard the voice of the Dorm Supervisor behind her.

“Got it.”

“I’ve finished the warm-up exercises, now it’s just jogging.” Natsume Enako recalled the exercise plan she made, which was actually gymnastics and running, and at most some self-defense skills learned on the Internet.

In fact, with ability, it doesn’t matter whether to learn self-defense or not, but someone has been influenced by Shirai-san and has a great interest in fighting. She even bought a fake secret manual on the street stall before.

Not long after leaving Tokiwadai Student dormitory, although she only ran a few hundred meters, Natsume-san was already exhausted and could only sit on the waiting seat at the bus stop to rest.

Tokiwadai’s school uniform is actually not suitable for sports, but the school has a rule that students must wear it regardless of holidays or going to and from school. As for the Tokiwadai gymnastics uniform suitable for sports, it can only be worn inside the school.

Therefore, Whenever she does something a little out of the ordinary, Natsume Enako will now wear safety pants like Senior Misaka.

The sweat on her face keeps dripping onto her school uniform, and her body is also covered in sweat, making her feel very uncomfortable.

After recovering a little, Natsume-san stood up again. After all, she is also someone who can run two kilometers in the Physical Education class.

But as the exercise continued, the regret for the school uniform became stronger and stronger. It was really unhappy. Someone had already thought of writing a letter to the school board.

After about half an hour, the speed had long since changed from jogging to walking. Someone finally appeared at the door of the Student dormitory panting.

In the dining room of Tokiwadai Student dormitory, Natsume Enako was obviously a little depressed.

“What? Natsume, you actually went to morning exercise! You won’t be replaced by someone.”

Shirai-san directly dropped the French baguette in her hand and looked at Natsume Enako with an unbelievable look.

It felt like a classmate who always slept in class on weekdays, not only did he not sleep today, but also took the initiative to raise his hand to answer questions.

“Kuroko! No matter who you are, there will be times when you want to work hard to change yourself. Don’t speak in such a strange tone.”

Senior Misaka patted Natsume Enako on the shoulder and encouraged her, At the same time, she looked at Shirai-san beside her with some anger.

“When I encountered a bottleneck before, I would exhaust all my computing power every day just to get closer to that goal. After all, I am the kind of person who will not give up until I achieve the goal when I see it there.” Senior Misaka said seriously, as if she remembered the years when she was striving for level 5.

“Actually, I just want to exercise my body.”

“Senior Misaka, how is the investigation going over there? It’s about the tree man attack case that has been very popular recently.” Natsume Enako finished the sandwich in her hand and asked curiously.

“The criminal has been caught, but the superiors asked us not to continue the investigation. She said that she would hand it over to a special person to be responsible.” Sighing, Shirai-san said unwillingly.

“The criminal used a certain device to sense the biological force field of trees of a certain age, and compressed that force field into a special crystal. Although I don’t know the value of this crystal, But in the black market, some people have already started buying them at extremely high prices.”

“As for the tree man attack itself, it was the result of the criminals using nanorobots to control the trees in order to cover up the fact that the trees were dehydrated and dead after the crystals were taken out. The purpose was to let the Security Personnel destroy the trees.” Shirai-san said a little depressed.

“A device that can sense and compress the bio-force field? What if the target is a human?” Natsume Enako felt a little scared. If the bio-force field can be seized, it is really too dangerous.

“Humans are much more complicated than plants, and the device is not taken but compressed. If it is not taken out for a period of time, it will return to its original state.” Shirai-san explained.

“But what is the use of someone designing such a thing? Is it just to investigate the information of a tree?” Senior Misaka frowned and thought, and there was no good idea for a while.

“Senior Misaka, do you still remember the monster formed by Fantasy Hand before?”

“The monster has a core that fixes the aim diffusion field. When the core is broken by atomic collapse, the monster is completely annihilated. If in the original design of this device, the life force field is only a by-product, and the main purpose is to compress the aim diffusion field, can we get a similar core?”

“And the criminal just doesn’t know how to get the device or is just one of its components.”

Shirai Kuroko has a big imagination, and in a blink of an eye, she thought of a possibility that seems very strange.

“How is this possible?” Senior Misaka was a little surprised, But it seems that this is indeed possible.

“And according to the ambiguous attitude of the higher-ups, this device obviously has an unclear relationship with her.” Shirai-san said affirmatively.
