Academy City's Puppet Master

Ling Xingye said: "Student Misaka, don't be too arrogant. You do have that kind of potential, but now you are just a little girl in my opinion... you are still far away."

The reason why Ling Xingye sent Misaka Miqin back to the dormitory was because she was worried that she would be attacked by a secret magician.

The magicians who appeared in Academy City this time were obviously different from those previous killers. They didn't go straight to the subject to chase and kill themselves, but wandered around with unknown purposes.

This made Ling Xingye have to care about whether the enemy had become "cunning", and would choose other more tortuous ways to deal with him.

Possibly using hostages...that is, those closest to you.

It was to avoid this situation that Ling Xingye chose to move out of the original dormitory to avoid accidental injury.

"And it's because I'm Misaka-san that I'll buy you a drink." Ling Xingye said.

Misaka Mikoto looked at him puzzled, but the latter turned and left without explaining.

Because you are a level 5 superpower, an absolute powerhouse, so I won't worry too much about your safety...

If it is those "weak people" who lack the ability to protect themselves, Ling Xingye will even deliberately keep a distance from them.

Ling Xingye bought bread and drinks for dinner from a 24-hour supermarket on the roadside, and went back to the apartment to check, and found no signs of intrusion.

So he sorted the package and walked into the night again.

"Dingling, ringing, ringing..." The phone rang, the dullest electric ringtone.

Ling Xingye remembered that he had never set this kind of ringtone, so he took out his phone and looked - it really showed an empty number.

Of the people Ling Xingye knew, only one would call him in this way.

"Good evening, Chairman Aleister."

A dull and slightly distorted electronic voice came from the receiver: "Your enemy has appeared, prepare to meet the enemy."

"What do you think I've been doing these days?" Facing the existence standing tall in Academy City, Ling Xingye didn't feel nervous, "Let's forget about this nonsense, let's provide some more information."

"You have your own source of information," the other party responded, "then I don't need to say more. Anyway, you should trust your own source of information more."

After speaking, hang up the call.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Xingye's cell phone immediately received an email.

It is the information about the enemy this time.

"There are two enemies, a man and a woman. This time the enemy chose to hire foreign magicians as assistants. One of them is good at using fire and explosive attacks, and the other is a puppeteer..."

The information is very general, only a few sentences.

"But... that's enough." Ling Xingye turned off the phone screen.

===Chapter 18 Kamijou Touma===

On July 23rd, three days have passed since Kamijou Touma met the mysterious magical girl Index.

It was also the third day that the two hid in the home of their teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng in order to escape from the killer.

As early as the night of No. 20, Index, who was seriously injured, activated the "automatic secretary", used Yueyong Xiaomeng's body to cast magic, successfully healed the wound with a healing technique, and restored the lost vitality.

After resting and recovering for the next three days, the silver-haired nun seemed to have completely recovered, biting Kamijou Touma's head aggressively.

The latter had no choice but to flee in haste and howl.

Because of recovering from a serious illness, coupled with the girl's nature of cleanliness, Index couldn't wait to take a good bath.

Unfortunately, the cheap apartment that Yueyong Xiaomeng rented was not equipped with such facilities as a bathroom.

So I can only choose to go to the public bath.

"Public baths are part of Japanese culture!"

At this time, Index looked forward excitedly like a child who hadn't grown up. Under the leadership of Teacher Xiaomeng, she arranged a change of clothes and toiletries, and happily headed for the bathing place.

Kamijou Touma is also in the state of "can't go back home" at this time because he escaped from the pursuit of the terrible flame magician together, so he hasn't bathed for a few days, and this time he happened to go to the bathing place together.

Perhaps because of the fact that Index had already recovered from her injuries and had not been attacked for several days, Kamijou Touma could not help but naively hoped that the enemy had given up chasing and killing Index.

Vigilance will inevitably decline—of course, Kamijou Touma, as an ordinary high school student, cannot be expected to have such strong vigilance.

Kamijou Touma carried his clothes and toiletries, and followed the two petite women slowly.

how to say?Going to the shower with two beautiful girls with a loli figure?

Although Teacher Xiaomeng's age is no longer considered a "girl", and they only go to public bathing places, the kind where men and women are strictly separated.

But just thinking about this possibility makes Kamijou Touma feel his brain fever and confusion...

Speaking of which... I have actually been living with the two of them these days?

Suddenly aware of something extraordinary, Kamijou Touma became more nervous and confused, and unconsciously slowed down.By the time he found out, he was already far behind the pace of the two in front.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that Index and Teacher Xiaomeng had disappeared without a trace!

Not only that, but around him, there was obviously a wide road, but there was no other figure.

It was eerily quiet!It seems to have traveled to the back of the world suddenly - a dead world with only environmental buildings but no vitality.

Is there something wrong with me, or is something wrong with the world?

Kamijou Touma couldn't help dripping cold sweat on his forehead, he looked around, ready to use full speed to escape from this strange place.
