Academy City's Puppet Master

"Starry night!" The girl's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you free now? Hurry up and come to my place!"

"Did something happen?" Ling Xingye asked immediately.

His first reaction was that Misaka Mikoto met enemies such as Lucun or Kumiko.

"About the magician..." Misaka Mikoto said.

Hearing the word "magician", Ling Xingye's expression froze, and then he suddenly remembered that there was an "irrelevant person" by his side.He immediately looked at Yuan Shanyao, and saw that although the girl looked confused, she was not too surprised. Obviously, she had "seen" this scene just now.

"Where are you now? I'll be there right away." Ling Xingye made a quick decision.

Sensing the seriousness in his tone, Misaka Mikoto panicked instead: "Well, it's not what you think..."

"What happened? Forget it, let's talk about it when I go over." Ling Xingye said decisively.

"It doesn't sound like I'm in danger, so I'll go there too." Shiranui Hitomi said.

Yuan Shanyao seemed to have something to say, but after looking at the interaction between the two of them, he couldn't say it in the end, and just continued to follow silently.

"What's wrong?" Ling Xingye turned around and asked.

Yuan Shanyao quickly shook his head: "No, nothing!"

The future is constantly changing. Since we can see it, we can change it.

The miserable future that Yuan Shanyao saw before seems to have changed because of his own intervention.But after this phone call, the already safe future once again undergoes drastic changes that cannot be determined.

Countless possibilities came at the same time, causing Yuan Shanyao's brain to ache, but he couldn't see any specific future clearly.

After asking about the address of Misaka Mikoto, she was found not far away, and it would not be dangerous to come to such a busy commercial street.So Ling Xingye decided to go with the three of them.

After 5 minutes, seven people from both sides joined together.

"So..." Ling Xingye looked at Misaka Miqin expressionlessly, "You called me here to help you prove that magicians exist?"

===Chapter 58 Vampire Strikes===

Facing Ling Xingye's questioning, Misaka Mikoto glanced over and laughed dryly.

She also didn't expect Hitomi Shiranui and another senior she didn't know to come together.He couldn't help but feel a little restrained in his expression.

This is the difference between "harmful friends" and predecessors.For Ling Xingye and Kamijou Touma, Misaka Mikoto can behave more "unscrupulous", and even get along with each other in a real sense.

But facing Hitomi Shiranui, who is full of senior style, even Princess Dengeki from Tokiwadai can't help restraining himself, and greet him with a correct attitude.

The four of Misaka Mikoto and the others are all junior high school students, and the composition is vaguely headed by Misaka Mikoto, so each of them greeted the seniors honestly.

Ling Xingye didn't care about these superior-subordinate relationships, Shiranuo Tong and Yuan Shanyao also didn't value these due to their respective personalities.So the relationship between the two parties quickly became harmonious.

Then Saten Ruiko, who was most interested in these things, brought up the topic of magicians.

"Magicians? They do exist." Ling Xingye shrugged, "But there is no way to prove it now, and I can't make a fireball on the spot and show it to you...so it's better to treat it as an urban legend."

"In the final analysis, there is still no substantive evidence!" Shirai Heizi said, "But I don't think Senior Shiranui will participate in this kind of prank, so let's trust you for now."

"Actually, there's nothing unacceptable, right?" Ling Xingye said, "Even unscientific things like superpowers exist, and magic with longer legends also exists as a matter of course."

"Oh, that makes sense!" Saten Reniko nodded again and again as if suddenly enlightened, "Think about it carefully, the things in myths and legends actually have real prototypes—it really makes sense!"

In early spring, the girl wearing a wreath said: "So, in fact, vampires have long had a scientific version of the explanation - they have a disease called 'vampire disease', it is said that drinking blood can alleviate the symptoms of vampires. This disease has become a legend of vampires over time."

"Huh...it's completely meaningless when you say that in Chuchun." Saten Saten complained.

Hitomi Shiranui said: "So you are discussing the topic of urban legend?"

"That's right," Misaka Mikoto scratched her head, "The topic became like this before I knew it, from vampires to magicians, that's why I remembered the seniors. I'm very sorry to bother you!"

"It's okay, there's nothing to do at first. I'm just helping Xingye with memory rehabilitation."

The eyes of the two turned to Ling Xingye at the same time, and the latter raised his hands: "Don't worry, I'm really fine."

Misaka Mikoto crossed her arms and raised her head to look at him: "Really? Remember it? So Xingye, do you remember what you promised me?"

Ling Xingye was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at Hitomi Shiranui.

"How do I know about your own affairs!" Unexpectedly, Shiranuo Tong snorted and turned his head away.

Indeed, according to the schedule of the first two weeks pieced together after waking up, Ling Xingye did spend two periods of time alone with Misaka Miqin.

So now, except Misaka Mikoto herself, no one knows what happened in the previous two periods.

The scene suddenly fell into silence, even Ling Xingye himself felt anxious because of the amnesia.Heizi Shirai next to him had tears in his eyes, and almost ran away.

The reaction was half a beat slow, and Misaka Mikoto realized the ambiguity in her words belatedly, and quickly explained loudly: "It's Guta, Guta!"

She raised her phone to show the pendant on it: "Xingye promised to perform Gutai's show, right? I'm afraid you forgot about it!"

"Oh, this!" Hitomi Shiranui immediately remembered that she knew about this.

"Performing?" Saten Renko and the others already knew about Misaka Mikoto's peculiar hobby of Guta, so they were not surprised, but they didn't know what it had to do with Senior Ling Xingye.

"Don't you know? This guy is a puppeteer, and he often performs on the street to earn pocket money." Misaka Mikoto introduced.

But she sighed helplessly in her heart. Originally, the "promise" she wanted to say meant that Ling Xingye said she would treat guests...

Forget it, it's not bad for that meal anyway.Shaking her head to shake off her little troubles, Misaka Mikoto briefly introduced Ling Xingye's "part-time job".

Saten Ruiko immediately became interested, and immediately expressed that she would definitely join in the next performance.However, Shirai Heizi and Chuchun Shili are still vigilant and distrustful of Ling Xingye—after all, they are people on their blacklist. Out of the sense of justice and profession of the discipline committee members, they first put on a layer of colored glasses.
