Academy City's Puppet Master

"Can you locate it precisely?" Dr. Frog asked curiously, "Have you really lost your memory?"

"Indeed," Ling Xingye nodded, "There is no record of all experiences, and there is only a gap left. But there seems to be not much missing in terms of knowledge and skills—at least I still remember all the middle school courses, and the first semester of high school. Knowledge."

"Really!" Kamijou Touma scratched his head and said, "I also remember the knowledge I learned...but it's not so solid, and it's also very vague. It seems that it's still affected."

"No," said Doctor Frog, "that's just simple forgetting, which means that your academic performance is not good."

The ward fell silent again, and Doctor Frog, who forcibly ended the topic, looked at the form in his hand unconsciously, preparing to give Ling Xingye a detailed examination.

Ling Xingye suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the door: "From just now, is there someone at the door?"

The other two followed the trend and looked towards the door, apparently finding nothing unusual.

As if echoing Ling Xingye's words, the door was slowly opened.

It is eye-catching, there are two girls standing at the door, one is a standard black long straight girl, wearing a daily T-shirt and jeans, and a short-sleeved shirt outside, looking graceful.

The other girl with brown hair seems to be younger, she still looks like a junior high school student, and even if she comes to the hospital to visit, she still wears the school uniform. She should be an obedient and good girl, right?

Of course, to Ling Xingye and Kamijou Touma, they are strangers who don't know each other.

But strangers would never come here to visit the sick, let alone show such a sad expression.

Kamijou Touma couldn't help but panic—he just made up his mind to hide his amnesia, and it doesn't matter if Dr. Frog and his patient Ling Xingye know it, but other "acquaintances" must be concealed.

Because the more people know, the more likely that girl named Index will know the truth!

Kamijou Touma was sure that the two girls who appeared at the door at this time were definitely people he had known before. Regardless of the beautiful black-haired girl, the sadness on the face of the brown-haired junior high school student definitely had his own share!

"How is the sound insulation effect of the room here?" Ling Xingye asked Dr. Frog suddenly.

"Of course the sound insulation in the ward is very good," Doctor Frog shrugged. "But I didn't lock the door just now, maybe I left a gap unconsciously..."

"..." Ling Xingye was silent for a moment, "Alright, then don't bother explaining."

"How could this be..." The tea-haired girl showed an unacceptable expression, "Both of you have lost your memory?"

Ling Xingye said: "Although I don't remember what happened, it's not difficult to guess what happened before. Generally speaking, at this time, shouldn't we be glad that we survived, Misaka?"

Misaka Mikoto's eyes lit up: "Xingye, do you still remember me?"

Hitomi Shiranui beside her frowned slightly.

"Why don't you know the third-ranked superpower in Academy City?" Ling Xingye said, "But that's all the information I know... I'm also curious, how did I behave like you before?" Miss Tokiwadai knows it."

Misaka Mikoto's expression suddenly froze.

"Indeed," Hitomi Shiranui sighed, "Misaka-san's information can also be attributed to 'knowledge' or 'common sense'."

"So...you really don't remember?" Misaka Mikoto shook violently, "Xingye, and Kamijou idiot, have you really forgotten all of them?"

"Why is my treatment completely different here!" Kamijou Touma couldn't help complaining.

"What, what is this!" Misaka Mikoto turned around and grabbed Hitomi Shiranui's arm, "Senior Shiranui, this is definitely not right! You..."

However, the girl saw the calm and unwavering expression on the senior's face, as if she didn't care about the current situation at all.

===Chapter 53 Memory Construction===

Misaka Mikoto originally thought that Shiranui-senpai would be hit hard, but when she turned her head to look, she found that the expression on the senior's face was very calm and calm, without any wavering.

Misaka Mikoto couldn't figure out what that meant for a while——Senior Shiranui must be more sad than herself, right?After all, I and these two boys just know each other, and the senior seems to be in a relationship with Xingye.

"By the way," Misaka Mikoto looked at Doctor Frog, "Just now Doctor Guta said that you can use superpowers...I..."

For a moment, the always bold and generous Electric Shocker showed a tangled expression, and then took out the phone with a "go all out" attitude as if determined: "I can only ask her, as long as I ask in person, she will never Refused!"

At this time, a white hand suddenly stretched out beside her and stopped her.

Hitomi Shiranui pressed her phone: "There is no need for 'mental mastery'. After all, I am a powerful 'memory builder'!"

"The two of them are in a similar situation. They are both physically damaged brain cells. To be honest, it is almost impossible to restore the original state." At this time, Doctor Frog reminded, "Even if you rely on superpowers...according to my Judging, even that level 5 'psychological mastery' is difficult to achieve."

Hitomi Shiranui stepped forward: "No, it may be difficult for others to say, but for Xingye, it's absolutely fine."

She looked back at Dr. Frog and Misaka Mikoto, showing a soft and confident smile: "I will definitely help Xingye recover her memory!"

Kamijou Touma also ignited his confidence, widened his eyes and observed carefully - if Ling Xingye can really be cured, then it must be able to help him recover his memory!

Shiranuo Tong came to Ling Xingye's side and sat sideways on the hospital bed, a pair of pupils that seemed to be able to shine reflected the boy's face.

"I won't waste any more time introducing myself." Hitomi Shiranui's words carried out a certain degree of firmness, "Anyway, Xingye will remember soon."

Ling Xingye found himself relaxed and let the girl approach him unsuspectingly, and couldn't help being surprised by this strange sense of familiarity and trust.He closed his eyes and thought.

"I see, does my mind still have this kind of setup...then please."

Ling Xingye nodded, sat up straight and leaned forward slightly.

Shiranui Hitomi also leaned towards Ling Xingye as if hugging her body.Indeed, she hugged the boy's head with both hands, pressing their foreheads tightly together.

There seemed to be a brighter brilliance in the eyes, and then the girl also closed her eyes.

The real world around them receded like a tide, and all senses were cut off and stripped away.

Their brain waves, or "souls," establish the most direct connection.

Following the skin-to-skin contact position of her forehead, Hitomi Shiranui pushed open the "gate" that only existed in imagination, and "walked into" Ling Xingye's spiritual world—a "memory palace" built by herself for Ling Xingye.
