Academy City's Puppet Master

"A vampire?" Heizi Shirai responded without interest.

After all, she is the one who already knows the truth.

Misaka Mikoto did not disclose the part about herself, but she told Shirai Kuroko about other events that happened on the 6th and 7th.

So Heizi knew exactly what the so-called "vampire" was.

"'Vampire' is indeed the hottest topic recently, but it's not the latest urban legend." Saten Ruiko waved his hand, looking like a senior expert, "The latest legend these days is..."

Saten Saten turned her head to look at the woods, her expression became serious.

"—Hundred ghosts at night!"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew by, and the leaves of the forest rustled.

Chuchun Shili hugged Chunshang Jinyi.

"I really don't know if that urban legend website is serious or nonsense..." Shirai Heizi said, "The information on it subtly fits the actual events."

"Student Shirai, don't be scary with me!" Chuchun Shili complained.

"Are you confused?" Shirai Heizi asked back, "Didn't you just discuss a similar incident in the collective meeting in the afternoon? It's just that the word used at that time was 'collective scale illusion'. But according to the testimony of witnesses— —It’s okay to say it’s the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts.”

"Huh?" Chuchun Shili tilted his head and thought for a while, "It seems to be true!"

"That's why there are so many guards patrolling nearby."

Shirai Heizi looked down, and there were two armored vehicles parked not far away, with powered suits guarding them.

"It's always a bit of a bummer—seeing these cold machines."

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and there was a slight cheer.

The first firework drew a straight and bright line into the night sky.

Snapped!

Fireworks explode.

The girls raised their heads, looking at the beautiful scene in the night with fascination.

"It's so beautiful..." More than one person expressed the same emotion.

Misaka Mikoto also watched the fireworks blooming intently.

However, she suddenly felt something strange...

Misaka Mikoto can directly feel electromagnetic waves-this is equivalent to giving her an extra sense of touch than ordinary people.

Misaka Mikoto turned her head to look for the source of the strange feeling, but found that Misaka 10001 beside her also turned her head and looked over.

Hitomi Shiranui seemed to have noticed something too, she looked at the people around her, and found something unusual—the girl named Chun Shangjinyi suddenly turned around and walked towards the woods with a strange expression, and kept muttering something.

"What's wrong with you?" Hitomi Shiranui immediately asked, but got no reply.

This got the attention of others.

"What's going on? What happened?" Chuchun Zhuli hurried forward to grab Chunshang's jacket, but she still couldn't stop her from moving forward.

There was a gust of wind in the woods, as if something was about to come out of it.

Soon, along with Chunshang Jinyi's wailing of a splitting headache, the air and the ground trembled slightly at the same time.

And in the woods, a large number of monsters and ghosts really ran out!

Really, ghosts at night!

Because it was so unbelievable, all the girls including Hitomi Shiranui and Misaka Mikoto were stunned for a moment before realizing what happened.

At this time, other people who noticed the abnormality here screamed and fled in all directions.

===Chapter 84 The Phantom Who Doesn’t Distinguish Between False and Real===

Huge monsters with animal heads and human bodies, huge monsters that seem to have run out of fairy tales, ghostly misty "creatures" that are not shaped like ghosts, and beautiful and charming witches...

All kinds of monsters from the ancient legends of which it is hard to tell which civilization school they belonged to poured out of the forest.

Everyone present was terrified before thinking of running away.

A few bold boys even recognized that quite a few of these demons and ghosts were monster images from popular games.

After their reminders, we found that various other existences seem to correspond to the images in artistic and cultural works.

The scene in front of him was horrifying and weird to the point of absurdity.People don't know whether to cry or laugh.

Fortunately, the situation has stabilized, and when people think about it calmly, they all feel that this is just some kind of prank - in Academy City, such things are not impossible.People's nerves have also been tempered extraordinarily thick.

But Misaka Mikoto and the others felt a chill.

Because Chunshang Jinyi was still walking forward in that strange state.

No matter how you look at it, this scene can't be some kind of "prank", right?

Suddenly the ground shook even more violently.

Two stone men with a height of five or six meters came out.Every step that falls makes people feel a shock under their feet.

"This is not something that can be explained by fantasy or holographic projection..." Hitomi Shiranui reached out to stop the girls and stepped back.
