Academy City's Puppet Master

"If given the chance," Ling Xingye asked again, "would you kill Fang Accelerator and avenge your sisters?"

"This..." Misaka Mikoto also fell silent and did not respond for a long time.

Sudden mention of killing or something is a distant thing for her, and she hardly thinks about it seriously.But now, she suddenly discovered that this turned out to be a really possible scenario.

"Or..." Ling Xingye's voice came again, "Will you choose to forgive him?"

——Can a person who commits a "sin" really be forgiven?

Ling Xingye seemed to be talking to himself, and didn't expect to get an answer from the girl at all.

He looked up to the distant sky.

Beside her, Misaka Mikoto also lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

===Chapter [-]: Things in the morning===

Like the previous few times, after watching Misaka Miqin return to the dormitory from a distance, Ling Xingye turned and left.

It's just before six o'clock, even for high school students who need to get up early to go to school, this time is too early.

Except for some businesses that run breakfast shops, and a few people who are used to getting up early to exercise, the road is empty.

This city, which is dominated by students and full of youthful vitality, rarely shows a peaceful and peaceful side.

Ling Xingye walked directly to the school without stopping.

There is enough time today, so there is no need to rush as exaggeratedly as yesterday.

With Ling Xingye's foot strength, even if he just walks to school normally, he doesn't have to worry about being late.

Sure enough, he was the first group of people who arrived at the school today.

Because it is generally a dormitory system, students who are older in the School of Mechanical Engineering will not intentionally get up too early.

Ling Xingye sat alone in the classroom, wanting to lie down and continue to take a nap for a while, and then suddenly saw the position in front of him.

"Hitomi..."

Ling Xingye frowned slightly, then took out his mobile phone and called.

But no one answered.

"Is it too early and you haven't woken up yet?" Ling Xingye thought uncertainly.

"...You don't think I'm awake yet, do you?" The girl's cold voice came to her ears, "My lord!"

Misaka Mikoto maintained a tiptoe posture and was about to close the windows of the dormitory when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Hahaha," after being stunned for a moment, Misaka Mikoto pretended to be cheerful and laughed, "I'm sorry, I accidentally woke you up, Heizi."

"No, it didn't wake me up." Shirai Heizi shook his head and said, "Because I didn't sleep at all."

It was only then that Misaka Mikoto noticed that Shirai Kuroko was wearing her uniform, her hair was combed, and the light makeup on her face was perfect.

Her bed was also tidy, with no traces of use.

Or she got up very early and had already packed up.Otherwise, you really didn't sleep all night.

"That's right..." Misaka Mikoto laughed dryly... How should I explain this to Heizi?

Shirai Heizi didn't mean to question or blame, instead he took the initiative to explain himself.

"Last night, shortly after my sister left..." Shirai Heizi said, "I received an urgent message from the headquarters."

"It is said that a battle between Level 5 suddenly broke out in the seventh school district." Shirai Heizi looked at her calmly, "Just in case, we asked our discipline committee to be ready to dispatch at any time..."

"Sent out to arrest the criminal?" Misaka Mikoto asked.

"It's to assist in crowd evacuation and disaster relief. My sister is a level 5 herself, so she should be the clearest—if a superpower at your level goes all out, it will be tantamount to a disaster."

"Uh...that's what you said." Since she couldn't grasp the mood and attitude of the junior girl, Misaka Mikoto had no choice but to deal with it like this.

"Fortunately, the gaffe didn't expand further, so I just wasted my night and waited here."

"Ah, I'm so sorry."

Shirai Heizi heaved a long sigh: "Sister, is she really involved? According to intelligence, there was once an unnatural gathering of dark clouds over the center of the battle."

"Because of various reasons..." Misaka Mikoto explained.

"I know," Shirai Heizi interrupted her, "My sis didn't really participate in the battle. Because according to the final AI diffusion field detection information, the superpowers of both sides in the battle do not include sis's electromagnetic gun."

"It's Lily," Misaka Mikoto quickly explained, "It's the transfer student. It is said that there are transfer students of level 5. She ran out suddenly and said that she was going to a duel or something..."

As she spoke, Misaka Mikoto lowered her voice—although what she said was indeed the truth, she still couldn't change the fact that she was deceiving or concealing it.

Continue to treat my friend Shirai Kuroko like this...is it really okay?

"Okay, Heizi said that I will wait for my elder sister until I can really express my heart." Shirai Heizi said seriously, "That's all that Heizi wants to say. It's still early, my elder sister can hurry up Take a rest and wash up. Today is the day of ability testing, please perform well."

"Huh? Is it scheduled for today?" Misaka Mikoto was a little surprised, "About a week earlier than usual."

"Maybe it's because of the new transfer student?" Shirai Heizi said, "Then, Heizi will leave first."

"Be careful on the road."

Looking at the closed dormitory door, Misaka Mikoto became puzzled: "Heizi today feels a little bit wrong...it seems a little too normal."
