Academy City's Puppet Master

The girl looked at him seriously with her beautiful eyes, and repeated word by word: "Xingye, I believe in you!"

"Hitomi..." Ling Xingye looked at her in surprise and emotion.

"I have almost all of Xingye's memory." Hitomi Shiranui said, "I checked that memory just now..."

"Are you okay!" Ling Xingye suddenly became nervous, not because his privacy was being pryed into, but because he was worried about Hitomi Shiranui.

Those memories full of brutal fighting and bloody scenes are not suitable for girls to watch.

Shiranui Hitomi's face was a little pale, but she still looked over firmly: "I also came to the same opinion as Xingye - the nineteen girls who fought with you really don't look like human beings!"

"They are just walking corpses with beautiful appearances, seemingly lacking in thinking ability and soul!"

Ling Xingye stared at her with wide eyes until the girl felt a little embarrassed: "What... what's wrong? Are you angry?"

"No," Ling Xingye's voice seemed to be trembling, "Maybe it's a bit redundant, but I still have to say it again—Tong is the person who knows me best!"

Ling Xingye was so moved that she almost shed tears.

Because as a matter of fact, he did kill those nineteen "flowers".From a biological point of view, they are indeed human.

This is an irrefutable fact, so even Ling Xingye himself has given up explaining it—because it is impossible to explain it clearly.No matter how you look at it, you are a criminal, and everything you say is just an excuse to excuse your crime!

However, Hitomi Shiranui was still able to respond and understand herself!

For Ling Xingye, this is tantamount to the greatest salvation.

Shiranui Hitomi is not partial, but truly understands and agrees, which is why it is so precious.

Ling Xingye breathed a long sigh of relief: "With Tong's support, I can rest assured."

Hitomi Shiranui asked again: "Why did you suddenly think of these things? Was it stimulated by the Misaka sisters?"

Ling Xingye shook his head, and told what Liu Yinjian came to warn today.

"A puppet master who is more powerful than Sister Yao? Or a legion?" Hitomi Shiranui exclaimed in disbelief, "How is it possible? Was the human cloning technology already mature at that time?"

"That's not true," Ling Xingye said, "But Baiyin does seem to have mastered technology far beyond the technological level of the outside world, and can also use 'unscientific' powers such as magic."

"No," Hitomi Shiranui shook her head, "Now is not the time to pay attention to these details! The key is that Hua 21 is coming to Academy City to take revenge on you!"

The girl paced back and forth anxiously in the room: "What should I do? Xingye admits that you can't beat him! Sister Yao can't come to help..."

"Don't be nervous," Ling Xingye comforted, "Liu Yinjian just said that he would 'discipline' me, not that he wanted to kill me."

But Ling Xingye immediately frowned: "But according to him, Hua 21 is a lunatic, especially when encountering such a thing that touches her nilin, I'm afraid he won't be merciful?"

"Isn't that terrible!" Hitomi Shiranui worried

"No," Ling Xingye laughed, "I think Hua 21's real inversion is actually the use of replicants for human experiments."

"What time is it, you can still laugh!" Hitomi Shiranui was extremely anxious.

"Misfortune comes with blessings," Ling Xingye said leisurely, "Perhaps, we can use this opportunity to completely save the remaining sisters!"

===Chapter [-] The New Semester Begins===

For the next few days, nothing happened and nothing happened.

Until September [-]st, the day when the new semester starts.

Academy City also seemed to have switched modes as a whole, suddenly becoming more orderly.

The expected attack never came. At least, Ling Xingye tensed his nerves and was always on guard against a possible attack. It was a waste of effort.

On the first day of the new semester, Ling Xingye got up late unexpectedly, and when he woke up, he found that he was almost late!

After all, he has moved out now, unlike before, living in the school's supporting dormitory area.

So every morning I have to get up earlier, prepare breakfast, and then have to ride to school.

"Fortunately, Hitomi left some sandwiches in the refrigerator..." Ling Xingye didn't have time to make breakfast by himself, so he randomly found something to eat in the refrigerator, then grabbed his schoolbag and travel bag and rushed out of the apartment door.

"Ah!!! Unfortunately! Isn't this going to be late!" Just as the security door was closed, a familiar wailing sound came from beside him.

"Don't worry, Touma! There's still time meow~" Immediately afterwards, another neighbor, Motoharu Tsuchimikado, also hurried out, "According to my calculations, as long as you run over in one go, you won't be late!"

"Are you kidding me! Are you going to let me go for a long run on an empty stomach without having breakfast? I'm sure I'll faint from hypoglycemia!" Kamijou Touma scolded angrily.

"It's all your fault for dawdling around for so long," Motoharu Tsuchimikado asked strangely, "Didn't you just say you went back to make breakfast? Why haven't you eaten yet?"

"The only food at home has already been stuffed into Index's stomach." Kamijou Touma lamented, he made breakfast in his busy schedule, but he didn't eat a single bite!

"Also, it's all your fault! Yesterday I was dragged to play video games all night..." Kamijou Touma scolded angrily.

"Well, didn't you have a good time too?" Tsuchimikado Motoharu said, and then looked at Ling Xingye, "Yo, good morning, Xingye! Are you going to be late too?"

"It's really rare to see Xingye in such a hurry..." Kamijou Touma was also amazed.

In his impression, Ling Xingye is always confident, as if he is prepared for everything, no matter what situation he faces, he can calmly deal with it.

I didn't expect to see him biting a sandwich and hurrying along.

Ling Xingye greeted the pair of suffering brothers and sisters, and then divided the sandwich in the bag into two for Kamijou.

"Thank you!" Kamijou Touma took it in great surprise, "Xingye is really my savior!"

"Let me tell you," Tsuchimikado Motoharu asked, "Starry Night, are you okay? The distance from the School of Mechanical Engineering will be farther?"
