Academy City's Puppet Master

"Hey...do I need to find her?" Misaka Mikoto muttered in a low voice, resumed sitting upright, and intentionally or unintentionally distanced herself, "I don't know her very well..."

In fact, Misaka Mikoto doesn't have Shokuhou Misaki's cell phone number at all because of her natural horoscope incompatibility.

Finally, Ling Xingye regained the right to speak: "And then? If you want to find Shokuhou Misaki, why would you call me?"

"Sorry, because the personal information of people with abilities above level 4 is specially kept confidential, it is difficult for outsiders to obtain..." Kamijou Touma explained, "Besides, I didn't call you for Shokuhou Misaki, but to find Another ability user in the Department of Psychology—level 4 memory construction, Hitomi Shiranui. The girl who was with you when you moved before was Hitomi Shiranui, right?"

At this time, Ling Xingye and Misaka Mikoto both turned their gazes to Hitomi Shiranui at the side.

Hitomi reached out and pulled the phone in front of her, and said, "I'm right here, what's the matter?"

"Huh? Is Shiranui-san here too? Why do you happen to be together?" Kamijou Touma was stunned for a moment, but immediately got to the point, "Anyway, this is really great! I have some questions about memory that I would like to consult... "

"Is that why you thought of looking for me or Shokuhou Misaki?"

Kamijou Touma said: "If it's convenient, can I invite you to come over here? There is a... a patient who needs your help... please!"

There was a dull banging sound from the phone, and it was not hard to imagine Kamijou Touma on the other end kneeling and kowtowing as a gesture of pleading.

"That's it...tell me the address" Hitomi Shiranui agreed without hesitation.

Then she hung up the phone and looked at Ling Xingye: "It's rare for a neighbor to come to ask for help, so I have to help. Besides, this Kamijou Touma is also related to yesterday's incident, right?"

"That's right." Ling Xingye didn't object.

Because he has not completely defeated his enemies, he is now in a more dangerous situation.In this case, Ling Xingye is more inclined to stay outside to prevent his home from being destroyed by the battle.

Moreover, Kamijou Touma seems to have two powerful magicians watching secretly.Judging from Kanzaki's performance, they are not bad people, and they can safely send the two girls here to avoid the battle on their side.

Since he was going to go out, he naturally had to bring sprites with him—this was the case in ordinary times, not to mention the time when a battle might happen at any time.

However, since the two large travel bags were damaged in yesterday's battle, Ling Xingye had no way to carry the sprites on the road.

So he dug out a long windbreaker from the cardboard box that he hadn't had time to tidy up, put it on the monster, and then put on a hat and sunglasses to cover his whole body completely, and walked up the hall majestically as the fourth person. street.

Misaka Mikoto circled the sprite very curiously along the way, trying to figure out the mystery of its actions.

The distance is close, coupled with careful observation, it is not difficult to find the silk thread used to control the puppet.

And the other end of the thread was on the finger of Ling Xingye's left hand that was stuck in his pocket.

However, this kind of wiring and control method violates the basic scientific principles intuitively. Without a fulcrum to rely on, how can it be possible to control this puppet through silk threads?

"Actually, this is a high-tech automatic robot, right?" Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but wonder.

===Chapter 43 Memory Reading===

"Is this actually an automatic robot?"

Faced with Misaka Mikoto's question, Ling Xingye responded: "It depends on how you define the concept of a robot... but my sprites are not automatic. Automatic puppets do exist, but they will behave more like humans, sprites It's just a simple string puppet."

"So you are a telekinetic ability user?" Misaka Mikoto continued to question.

"I said it yesterday, my ability is the fulcrum of phase. It's just that the form of expression is more indirect and ambiguous..."

Because there was an "unidentified" person, they did not take the bus, but chose a concealed taxi.

Yueyong Xiaomeng's dormitory is actually not too far from the apartment, but Yaoyao's outfit is really eye-catching, and the rate of turning heads is too high.So Ling Xingye simply stopped a taxi and went straight to the destination.

Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng's dormitory is an ordinary bachelor's apartment, that is, the kind where there is only one tatami mat in the whole room.It is even simpler than the student apartment where Ling Xingye and Kamijo Touma lived.

The room is not spacious, especially when too many people are crowded, the petite Teacher Yueyong Xiaomoe even has to squeeze on the tatami with Index.

On both sides of the low table sat Ling Xingye, Shiranui Hitomi, Misaka Mikoto, Kanzaki Kaori, and Stiyl.

Sprite stood in the corner behind Ling Xingye as always, like a loyal bodyguard.

Kamijou Touma sat stiffly in the upper seat, looking at both sides in a state of bewilderment.

Hitomi Shiranui seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the atmosphere, and greeted Kanzaki with a smile.

Kanzaki seemed a little surprised and responded subconsciously.

Soon, Misaka Mikoto also joined in, and the interaction between the three girls largely eased the atmosphere.

Stiyl stared at Kamijou Touma with a full face of displeasure, and had a cigarette in his mouth, but because there were girls in the room, he didn't light it up.

"What on earth do you want to do, brat!" he questioned, "Do you think you can snatch that child away by recruiting reinforcements? You should also know that she has reached her limit!"

Stiyl pointed to the unconscious Index on the tatami and said, "Quickly give up and hand her over to us. You don't really want to kill her, do you?"

"No..." Kamijou Touma retorted, but looked back at Index with a worried face.

"Is the patient you mentioned the child?" Hitomi Shiranui asked, "Can you explain what's going on?"

Kanzaki also asked, "Kamijou, did you bring them here to treat Index?"

"Yeah!" Kamijou Touma nodded quickly, "Yesterday Stiles also said that you have used all the magic methods you can think of, right? Since it still doesn't help, I think you can try a scientific method."

He looked at Hitomi Shiranui: "Student Shiranui is a level 4 person with a great ability in the mind and memory department, 'memory construction'! I think you must be a well-deserved expert on memory issues!"

Shiranui Hitomi was not too self-effacing, she simply stood up and came to the unconscious silver-haired girl: "This child has a memory problem? Has he lost his memory?"

Generally mentioned memory problems and diseases are related to amnesia.Hitomi Shiranui has also accepted many similar jobs in the past—second only to helping classmates with their homework.

"It is indeed related to amnesia..." Stiles took the initiative to speak, "But it is not the cause of the disease, it is just a simple result. This is not a problem that you can understand and imagine, so I advise you, don't meddle in your own business!"

"Are you still adhering to the views of the sect of magic and science?" Ling Xingye said suddenly, "I think no matter what method is used, as long as the problem can be solved in the end, it is enough. Blindly entangled in the method is the real stupidity and stubbornness.
