Academy City's Puppet Master

"No!" Steele's face was gloomy, as if he had made up his mind, "I can't bet on her life! And you just proved that her memory is fine, but you didn't give a solution to the problem! This child is almost dead. It's the limit!"

He pointed to the unconscious Index and said, "Kamijou, do you have the heart to watch her continue to suffer like this! Give up as soon as possible and give her to us..."

"Then you still want to continue to deprive her of her memory again and again, and let her repeat a strange and fearful life!" Kamijou Touma confronted, "Since we have seen the problem, then we should solve it completely!"

"That's right," Hitomi Shiranui said, "According to my diagnosis, this child's memory problem should be deliberately set up. After all, according to you, the [-] magic books in her mind are very precious Data, right? In order to protect these data, it’s not hard to imagine setting up some shackles, right? Just like the firewall I encountered just now.”

Kanzaki, who had been acting mild and decent all this time, suddenly assumed an attacking posture again. Her face was frosty, and she even stretched out her hand to hold the Qitian Qidao.

"Do you know what you're talking about!" This female swordsman dressed openly and weirdly exuded a fierce aura, and her whole body seemed to be transformed into a sharp sword.

Tsukiyong Komoe, Kamijou Touma and Misaka Mikoto didn't expect her reaction to be so big, and they were at a loss for a while.

Only Stiyl knew why Kanzaki was so excited.

Not because the girl is talking nonsense.On the contrary, it was because Kanzaki felt that Hitomi Shiranui's words made sense.

But this also means admitting the fact that the two of them have been deceived by the church all along!

This was an explanation that Kanzaki and Stiyl did not want to accept anyway.

Not because of their loyalty to English Puritanism, nor because they were deceived and lost face.

Rather——if the facts are as Hitomi Shiranui speculates, then the suffering and misfortune that Index has suffered in these years is actually a completely avoidable scam?

This is... what a ridiculous farce!

Sprites moved almost at the same time as Kanzaki, still standing in front of Hitomi Shiranui like a loyal guard.

Ling Xingye helped Shiranui Tong leave the spot, then turned to look at the silver-haired girl on the sick bed.

Index's eyes were closed tightly, as if she was enduring some kind of severe pain.There are obvious symptoms of high fever, and the originally fair cheeks are now glowing abnormally red.

Coupled with that petite body, it is very pitiful.

"Let's go." Ling Xingye withdrew his gaze and said softly.

Hitomi Shiranui also looked at Index, then at Kanzaki and the others, then nodded: "Okay."

Misaka Mikoto was at a loss and said, "What's going on? Why are you leaving all of a sudden?"

In her opinion, the matter has not been completely resolved, right?Those two mages obviously still didn't believe Senior Shiranui's judgment. At this time, shouldn't they work hard to persuade each other, and then try to save the silver-haired girl?What is the way to say goodbye suddenly?

It's like when you are trying to clear a certain key task in the game, you suddenly give up halfway.

"Tong's opinion is just a reference, and whether you believe it or not depends on the judgment of the person involved." Ling Xingye explained, "We don't plan to get involved in any further."

But when he was speaking, Ling Xingye didn't hide his eyes - he looked at the hilt of the knife tightly held in Kanzaki Kaori's hand and the rune card twisted between Steele's fingers with fear.

I don't have much relationship with these two magicians, and there is no need to get too involved in their affairs.

Ling Xingye knows that good intentions may not necessarily lead to good things in many cases, especially in fields that he does not understand.

Therefore, they can only give a reference opinion. As for the final conclusion, it is up to the parties themselves to decide.

===Chapter 46 Unexpected Enemies===

Ling Xingye turned to look at Kamijou Touma, and nodded slightly to apologize to him: "Sorry, I can't help you anymore. After all, I have my own troubles to deal with here."

"Actually, I don't mind..." Beside him, Hitomi Shiranui whispered, "But since you disagree with Xingye..."

Ling Xingye paused, as if thinking about something, and then said: "Okay, then you can stay and help. But be careful to use euphemistic words, so as not to provoke others..."

"It's really strange to be told by Xingye like that." Hitomi Shiranui couldn't help laughing.

"I'm not angry, and I won't hurt Miss Hitomi..." Kanzaki also said something in defense.

Ling Xingye came to Misaka Mikoto again: "Then, there is one more request..."

"Huh? What?" Misaka Mikoto looked at him in surprise.

"Take care of Hitomi, among the people present, apart from the teacher, only Hitomi does not have the ability to fight."

"Tsk, don't think of us as thugs who are ready to hurt people at any time." Steele said.

Ling Xingye ignored the flame magician's excuse and walked straight to the door.Then turned to look at everyone: "Then teacher, and everyone, I will take my leave first."

After speaking, he walked out of the apartment with sprites.

The moment Ling Xingye closed the door with his backhand, Steele suddenly picked up his rune card, and flames ignited from the card.

Misaka Mikoto let out an exclamation, an electric glow exploded on her forehead, and quickly blocked Hitomi Shiranui.

"Don't be nervous," but Hitomi Shiranui held her back, "They're not going to attack me..."

At this time, Misaka Mikoto noticed that Kanzaki Kaori also rushed to the window, carefully observing the outside.

"What... what's wrong?" Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng asked nervously.

"There are enemies coming..." Hitomi Shiranui said softly, "That's why Xingye let me stay here."

Misaka Mikoto suddenly realized that in this apartment there was herself, a level 5 superpower, two mysterious magicians, and that idiot who couldn't even help herself.From the perspective of combat power, it can be said to be quite strong and reliable.

"No wonder he just asked me to protect Senior..." Misaka Mikoto said, "But why did he go out by himself? Do he want to fight the enemy alone? Obviously everyone has a better chance of winning against the enemy together?"

"Because the one outside is that guy's enemy." Steele sneered, "There is no reason for us to help him deal with his own enemy—a rather proud man."

"However, I'm really not interested in helping him." Steele played with the flame in his hand, "For me, things here are more important."
