Academy City's Puppet Master

Hitomi Shiranui didn't feel angry because of these words: "Indeed, because Xingye doesn't want to involve other innocent people in his battle. Or, he wants to protect everyone else."

"Protection?" Misaka Mikoto was stunned for a moment, and then felt that what the senior said was indeed reasonable. He met Xingye twice before, and in the end he insisted on escorting himself back to the dormitory before leaving.Obviously, he regards himself as an ordinary girl Misaka Mikoto who needs protection, not the "super electromagnetic gun" that ranks at the top of Academy City.

"Protect us?" Stiyl sneered again, "Does it look like Kanzaki and I need protection?"

"It doesn't matter about your strength," Hitomi Shiranui said, "As long as it is not an enemy who is fighting Xingye, he will protect everyone else."

Ling Xingye walked out of the rental apartment, looked up at the sky, and then looked around at the surrounding environment.

Then I crossed the street alone, walked into an alley at random, and detoured seemingly aimlessly to a clearing by the river.

The enemy has come... Ling Xingye was very clear about this from the beginning.That's why he separated from Hitomi Shiranui and chose to go out to fight alone.

But to be honest, Ling Xingye is not good at searching for enemies. This time, he was able to find the enemy's appearance. In fact, it was more because of the opponent's initiative to leak his breath.

So Ling Xingye didn't look for traces of the enemy, but just found an open space suitable as a battlefield according to his own feeling.

He believed that his enemies would come to him after all.

Sure enough, he didn't make him wait too long, and a figure walked out from the shadow of the houses on the bank.

She is obviously a beautiful woman above the standard, but she is wearing an outdated old camouflage uniform, and her gestures and gestures show a temperament that is not lady-conscious, giving people the impression that she is more like a bohemian mercenary.

The only disharmony is that she doesn't have a gun on her body.

But correspondingly, the pockets of her wide jeans were full, and the fanny pack on her waist was also full.

"Kumiko..." Ling Xingye still remembered the enemy she had met last night, and also remembered what Lu Cun called her at that time.

It sounds like a Japanese-style name, but in fact, if she is willing to change her clothes and dress up, she will indeed be a very attractive oriental beauty.

Ling Xingye knew that every pocket on this woman's body was probably filled with the kind of high explosives she saw yesterday.

"It's very courageous, brother Xingye." Kumiko Yanaka smiled with interest, "I really came out alone."

"Did Lu Cun come?" Ling Xingye asked.

"He thinks you should be given some rest time for treatment, so sister, I acted on my own initiative. Moreover, my employer also needs rest time, after all, you beat him so badly yesterday..."

"Then just change the body?" Ling Xingye snorted coldly, "The one that appeared yesterday is his puppet, right?"

"Oh, it really turned out that you are worthy of being valued by your employer. You can't underestimate you just because you are young." Kumiko applauded and said.

"Act without authorization? What is your purpose?" Ling Xingye asked again, "There is no grudge between me and you, right? You are just a helper hired by Lu Cun, so why do you act without authorization?"

"Of course it's to help the employer solve problems." Kumiko shrugged, "It's the so-called taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others. Sister, my employer wants to deal with you in order to seize the original magic book "Thousand Machines"... I know what kind of entanglement you have with him, but there is no result until now. So sister, I am going to take clean and tidy action!"

"Tsk, did you meddle in your own business?" Ling Xingye had a headache, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and this kind of enemy seemed even more difficult - because she would not follow her own rules like Lu Cun did. A tacit understanding to some extent.

"Lu Cun and the organization behind him have spent three years, and there is no result until now. Why do you think you can succeed?"

"Because my sister is professional. In terms of snatching specific items..." Kumiko licked her lips, "Do you know why I am willing to spend time chatting with you here? My sister's time is very precious."

"Have you set up an ambush?" Ling Xingye looked startled, took a step back unconsciously, and looked around vigilantly.

Sure enough, I really encountered an enemy who didn't follow the routine...

===Chapter 47 Reasons to chat with enemies===

Different from Ling Xingye's fear and alertness, Yanaka Kumiko looked very calm at this time, like a cat teasing its prey.

"Hey, do you know what my sister's magic is?" Kumiko asked leisurely, with no intention of attacking at all, she stretched her proud figure with her arms open.It's as if she really came to relax by the river for a walk.

"It's alchemy..." Kumiko didn't seem to intend to get Ling Xingye's interaction, so she answered immediately, "Well, that's the way it is, but it's actually just biased towards alchemy.

"Xingye, you are from the mainland. You should have heard of it. In the ancient East, there was a profession similar to an alchemist—an alchemist..."

"The textbooks usually call them alchemists." Ling Xingye didn't know what she wanted to say, but in order to prevent the other party from fully grasping the rhythm of the topic, he still added.

Kumiko just glanced at him, and then said: "As we all know, gunpowder, one of the four great inventions, was originally created by ancient alchemists! So, you should be able to understand the magic that my sister and I use, right?"

"Is gunpowder refined?" Ling Xingye chose a name casually, "It doesn't sound magical."

Kumiko took out a bomb wrapped in red paper from her pocket, and her carefully manicured, slender nails suddenly cut it with force.

The gunpowder that was as fine as powder inside was scattered one after another, and the breeze blowing by the riverside, these gunpowder drifted with the wind like smoke.

Kumiko quietly watched the "smoke" dissipate, and then suddenly snapped her fingers.

Boom!

Suddenly, a fire flashed in the middle of the river, and a huge fireball burst into flames.The surface of the river exploded, and a drizzle fell on both sides of the river.

Another whirlwind rolled up out of thin air, sweeping away the water droplets that fell on her side.

"And..." The air spun rapidly, forming a miniature tornado in Kumiko's palm, "Sister, I am also very good at wind spells. Do you know what this means?"

Ling Xingye's face was always tense, and he didn't show any unnecessary expressions. Even if she suddenly exploded just now, his face didn't change.

"Meaning you can make a bigger explosion?"

"Really, sister, I don't hate humorous people, but is it really okay to just pretend to be stupid like this?" Kumiko narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cruel arc, "Actually, you know it very well, Ling Xingye."

"—This is a threat! During the time I was chatting with you, where do you think my sister and I have already spread the gunpowder?"

Seeing the drastic change in Ling Xingye's face, she nodded with satisfaction: "So, brother Xingye, please hand over the original scripture obediently. I know, you attach great importance to the safety of other people, right?"
