Academy City's Puppet Master

Due to the age, the quality of the video is not good, and the video data is still transcribed from a DVD disc, which looks rough.

But the puppet performance in the picture is so lifelike. If it weren't for the unique body shape of the puppet, people might think it is a real actor performing.

puppet?

Misaka 10001 couldn't help but look back at Ling Xingye and the puppet he was repairing.

Hearing the familiar music coming from the computer, Ling Xingye knew what she was looking at without turning her head.

"That was the first video of me performing on stage. At that time, an audience member used a video camera to record it, so I was able to find it." Ling Xingye explained casually.

The Ling family troupe travels and performs in various parts of the Northwest all year round, and they like to go to deep mountains, old forests, and all kinds of remote and backward places.Therefore, the economic level of their audience can be imagined, especially ten years ago, when smartphones were not fully popularized, it was almost difficult to see a video camera in those places.

In addition, leader Ling's thinking is relatively outdated, and he has no habit of recording performances at all, so many early performances are one-off, and there is no data at all.

So when he found the precious video data of his first performance on the Internet, Ling Xingye immediately downloaded it and saved it.

Misaka 10001 did not respond, and looked at the computer screen expressionlessly.

Ling Xingye was also focused on the work at hand, and had no special feelings for the girl's silence.

……

At the same time, the original Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, Saten Reiko, and Uiharu Shiri came to the coffee shop where they met the day before yesterday.

It feels like gatherings are more frequent, but it’s summer vacation, so it’s normal for good friends to meet and play every day, isn’t it?

Anyway, idle is idle, wouldn't it be good for everyone to get together?When receiving a phone invitation from Shirai Kuroko, Saten Ruiko expressed cheerfully.

As for Uiharu, she yearns for the life of a young lady, and she will never refuse the precious opportunity to have lunch with Misaka Mikoto.

So, it's so happy to settle down.

Shirai Kuroko also specifically asked for leave from senior Gufa Meiwei, and temporarily put aside her and Chuchun Shili's work as a "disciplinary committee member".

That's right, today's party of four was proposed by Kuroko Shirai.

As a roommate and fanatical admirer, Shirai Kuroko knows best about Misaka Mikoto not coming home overnight.

And my sister was still sick yesterday!When did you go out?

Yesterday afternoon, when Shirai Kuroko returned to the dormitory, he found that Misaka Mikoto had disappeared, but he almost ran away.

As for the rest of the night, Misaka Mikoto just evaded her and did not explain where she was or what she was doing even when she called to inquire.

This made Shirai Kuroko even more uneasy.

Moreover, she concluded almost instantly - the matter must have something to do with that man named Ling Xingye!

When I went to question him during the day, due to the presence of Senior Shiranui, my momentum was unknowingly weaker, and he avoided it.

Now it seems that there is indeed a problem with that underworld leader!

Although it is an unfounded "intuitive" conclusion, at least the situation in the second half of the night is indeed correct.

On the morning of the 3rd, Misaka Mikoto quietly returned to the dormitory.

Originally, he planned to lecture and complain to his elder sister, but Shirai Kuroko keenly noticed that his elder sister couldn't hide the tiredness and pain on his expression.

I don't know what happened to my elder sister... Shirai Heizi immediately suspected Ling Xingye again, and put a heavy cross on Ling Xingye's name in his heart.

But now is not the time to pursue that guy, Shirai Kuroko realized that taking good care of her elder sister is the top priority.

Seeing Misaka Mikoto's bored and gloomy expression, Shirai Kuroko became happy to help her change her mood, so she decided to call her companions together again to change her sister's mood by going out to play together.

In the safe house, because of Ling Xingye's protection, Misaka Mikoto slept soundly at night and was not physically tired.

Unable to stand Kuroko's soft and hard talk, and she has already made an appointment with Saten Reiko and Uiharu Shili, Misaka Mikoto couldn't refuse, so she cheered up, changed clothes and went out together.

While changing clothes, Misaka Miqin did not forget to send Ling Xingye a private email - the clothes for 10001 may be delivered later.

The four girls gathered outside the dormitory building, and then headed towards the commercial street.

The time with friends is very happy, and Misaka Mikoto has almost forgotten the pain and troubles in her heart, and devoted herself to this good time.

No matter how powerful Misaka Mikoto is, she is still a 14-year-old girl after all. Although she is at a time when her emotions are delicate and sensitive, to be honest, teenagers and girls of this age are actually a bit "heartless".

They get sentimental over little things, and they forget big events like the destruction of the world in a blink of an eye.

Completely follow one's inclinations, this is also the characteristic of youth.

Because of the company of her friends, Misaka Mikoto quickly regained her optimism, talking and laughing with Saten Ruiko.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that Ling Xingye has already intervened in her affairs, and successfully rescued a younger sister, interrupting the "experiment".

——This is a great redemption for Misaka Mikoto.

Seeing the hope, she subconsciously relaxed.

At noon, the four of them came to the coffee shop they had visited the day before yesterday again.

It is said to be a coffee shop, but it is also a part-time "restaurant" business. It specializes in Western-style meals and is very popular among student customers.

The dessert time after the meal is also a time for everyone to chat endlessly.

Perhaps it was too comfortable a good time, but it made Misaka Mikoto feel a little guilty—the experiment was not really over, and the sisters were not all saved.Xingye is still working hard for this, not hesitating to be an enemy of Yifang Tong... I actually chat happily here, enjoying the summer vacation... Is this really appropriate?

The destruction of research institutions related to the experiment must continue!
