Academy City's Puppet Master

"That child is ignorant of the world, and after erasing her memory, she is just a blank sheet of paper. If we really want to control her, why bother to erase her memory after a year?" Stiles sneered, "Kamijou Touma, you It's just a guardian for this round."

"This round... Guardian?"

"Yes, because she only has one year of memory, so to her, the person who guards her every year is a brand new stranger."

"And Kanzaki and I... used to be the child's guardians, just like you."

"How is it possible...why..." Kamijou Touma's brain became more and more confused, unable to understand.

"Think about it, the fetters accumulated over a year of getting along with that child were all wiped out overnight! Although the child was smiling gently all the time, those empty eyes..." Stiyl took a deep breath In one breath, "Anyway, Kanzaki and I decided to give up being her companions and become her 'enemies' instead."

Become an enemy so that no new bonds will be created, and it will not be so painful when erasing memories.This is the helpless compromise of the two powerful magicians to reality.

"Now, it's only four days until the year is over," Stiles said, "so, for the sake of that child, please hand her over to us."

"……how is this possible?"

"Huh? Any more questions? I think I've made myself very clear."

"Doubt? Everything is a question! How could such a thing happen? How could it be possible to give up on her for such absurd reasons!"

"That's why you are a brat who doesn't understand anything." Stiyl didn't get angry, "It would be great if innocence can be useful."

"If it's really what you said, then clear the memory of one hundred and three thousand magic books!"

"If you do that, there is no need for that child to exist. Do you know what the church will do with useless props?"

"How can modern society

There is such a thing! "

"Don't use your common sense to judge the wizarding world."

"Even so... I won't give up!"

"What else can you do? Do you think that Kanzaki and I haven't thought of a way?"

"You are all magicians, have you ever used a scientific method?" Kamijou Touma had a flash of inspiration, "In such a situation, normal people would go to the hospital, right?"

"How could it be possible to let those cold things play with her body!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Anyway, you have nothing to do, just listen to me this time!"

"There's no time." Stiyl said, "There are only four days left before the deadline. The child's body is already very weak."

Touma was taken aback by Kamijou, it is true that Index has been in a bad state these two days.He thought it was the weakness after recovering from a serious injury...

"what!!!"

There was a commotion outside.

"It's Teacher Xiaomoe's voice!" Kamijou Touma shivered, put on his clothes and rushed out the door.

But she saw Teacher Xiaomeng, who was wearing a baby-style bathrobe, hugging the silver-haired nun, looking panic-stricken.

"What's going on?" Kamijou Touma hurried forward.I don't care about Index's exposed spring—it's nothing to look at anyway.

"Index is dizzy." Seeing the waiter bring the first aid kit, Teacher Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"Has something happened?" Steele asked.

"Let's talk later." Kamijou Touma hung up the phone.

"Kamijou Touma, don't worry too much, it's just dizzy, foreigners are not good at that kind of temperature, right?" Teacher Xiaomeng comforted.

"How could it be such a simple question..." Kamijou Touma murmured.

===Chapter 33 Mobile Email===

Ling Xingye's apartment.

The owner of the apartment had already fallen into a deep sleep on the bed, Kanzaki helped him cover the quilt, while she sat on the floor leaning against the wall, looking carefully at the boy in front of her in the dark.

When we met for the first time today, we got into a big fight because of a misunderstanding, and we didn't lose the wind in the face of our own offensive, and we are also good at using steel wire as a weapon...

Kanzaki recalled it carefully, and felt more and more that Ling Xingye had a certain affinity with him.

"Although he is not a magician, he is also involved in the magic world, and has his own secrets and battles."

Kanzaki chose this room as his temporary base because he saw that this room contained some "magic" elements.

After all, it is really impossible to find a residence related to "magic" in the base camp of the science side.

"Thank you after you wake up tomorrow." Kanzaki said to the boy on the bed.

It is worth mentioning that the sprite is always standing at the head of the bed, most of his body and entire face are shrouded in shadows, really like ghosts in the underworld.

Although he already knew that it was just Ling Xingye's puppet, Kanzaki could still feel a sense of vigilance from it—or simply "hostility".

Do you believe that as long as you do anything against Ling Xingye, this puppet will explode and hurt others?

It's not that the "ghost" has really become a spirit, Kanzaki knows, it's just because of Ling Xingye's subconscious vigilance, it's the defensive instinct aroused by his own serious injury.

"Instincts that only experienced warriors can cultivate... Xingye, what was your past like?" Kanzaki asked softly to himself.

It is undeniable that curiosity about this young man is also another reason why he chose to come here to rest.

"Well, there is a third-party force involved. At this critical juncture at the last moment, we must find out! So we must have a good talk with Xingye to find out the truth of the matter and his position!" Kanzaki Kaori nodded solemnly.
