Academy City's Puppet Master

Not just her, in fact even Ling Xingye himself lacks the relevant awareness—on the contrary, it is an individual who has led his subordinates when he was working for Mari Kihara, so he is quite experienced in this kind of thing.

Soon, a helicopter landed in front of them.

Misaka Miqin once again had an intuitive feeling about the group, that is, the power of Ling Xingye.

"It's so convenient...this." Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Boarding the plane, the two flew to the target area in the shortest distance in a straight line.

"Yeah, it's still an unmanned model, so considerate." Misaka Mihoshi also said.

To be precise, this drone is not a professional manned model, but a cargo model that works in No.20 Three School District.It is difficult to adapt to the overly complicated weather and terrain conditions. It is only a special cargo model in Academy City, and its only advantage is that it is very fast.

Therefore, it suits the needs of the two Misakas very well.

Misaka Mikoto directly hacked into its control system and ordered it to fly at full speed.

In less than 10 minutes, the two crossed half of the city and arrived at the third school district.

The third school district is one of the most lively and bustling areas in Academy City, and it is also the main area where Academy City exhibits and receives visitors.

Especially today, the big day when the opening ceremony of the Yiduanlan Festival is about to be held, the place is even more crowded.Among them, foreign visitors even surpassed the local citizens of the third school district.

The helicopter landed on the helipad on top of a building and put the two Misakas down.

It was clearly not until [-]:[-] in the morning, but the streets below were already crowded with people.A lively atmosphere belonging to the festival has begun to emerge.

"It's up to you next." Misaka Miho stepped back and looked at Misaka Mikoto.

She can also see electromagnetic waves, but the observation range and accuracy are far from comparable to level 5.

If the enemy was hiding in the crowd, Misaka Miho alone would not be able to find them out.

"There." Misaka Mikoto pointed to a building in the distance.

From the time she discovered the target, Misaka Mikoto never let go of the enemy's electromagnetic waves.

"It's the news center." Misaka Miho looked in the direction of her finger and recognized it at a glance.

It was the largest hotel in the third school district, and it was classified as a temporary residence for media and reporters from various countries during the Yiduanlan festival, so it was nicknamed "News Center".

"The enemy is very cunning," Misaka Mihoi said, "Hide in that kind of place, and use ordinary people—or foreign reporters—as a shield."

"It doesn't matter, the reporters will leave the hotel in a while, and they will not let go of today's news report." Misaka Mikoto said, "We will go in when there are fewer people."

"I thought I could make it back to watch the opening ceremony, but now it seems impossible." Misaka Mihoshi said.

Today's opening ceremony was officially held at 45:[-] in the morning, but the preparations for each school had to start when the school bell rang, that is, at [-]:[-].

With the helicopter going back and forth, Misaka Mihoi thought that he could make a quick decision, maybe he would not be late.

But now it seems that this small goal may not be achieved.

While there was still time, the two went downstairs in the normal way, bought breakfast on the way, and walked towards the news center while eating.

Just like ordinary students who go to school together——scenes that can be seen everywhere in Academy City.

While walking, Misaka Miho was still swiping her phone, pressing the screen nimbly and quickly with her fingers.

"What are you writing?" Misaka Mikoto asked.

"Submitting the email for accepting the mission." Misaka Mihoshi replied, "Tell the boss that we have packed this apostle to prevent anyone from receiving repeated orders."

The passers-by on the street were mainly tourists, at most they just took a closer look at the two because of their similar appearance, and didn't pay special attention to Misaka Mikoto's Tokiwadai Middle School uniform.

So the two came to the front of the hotel in such a grandiose manner.

Looking at the time, it was already [-]:[-], and almost all the reporters staying in the hotel were dispatched to chase the big news that was coming today.

At this point, the two looked at each other.

"Let's go." Misaka Mikoto strode into it.

"Quick battle, we can go back to watch the opening ceremony." Misaka Mihoshi also walked in together.

With Misaka Mikoto's character and strength, what she wants is a direct frontal attack.

Those who were cautious just now were just to prevent the enemy from escaping.

As soon as the two walked into the hotel lobby, they felt that their eyes were completely white, and they couldn't see anything for a while.It's like someone used a flashbang.

At the same time as the flash, it was accompanied by a dense "click" sound.

Considering that this is now the base camp of reporters, it is not difficult to imagine what happened to them.

"What are they shooting!" Misaka Miho covered her eyes, wishing she could use her ability to destroy all the cameras around her.

After a while, after the vision of the two recovered, they realized that they had been surrounded by a large group of journalists, with countless long guns and short cannons pointed at them.

This is... exposed?

Misaka Mikoto thought to herself.

"Little girl, you are blocking the way."

A condescending voice suddenly came from ahead.

Looking up, a beautiful woman in a gorgeous red dress stood in front of her.

This woman's skin is as white as snow, with big brown wavy hair, tall and slender, with high heels measuring 1.8 meters!Full of aura, the whole person looked down at Misaka Mikoto.

The reporters and guns and short cannons around were all aimed at this woman. People surrounded the woman like stars holding the moon and walked all the way, just in time to meet the Misaka sisters who barged in at the door.

Seeing the woman's unceremonious attitude, Misaka Mihoi immediately took a step forward, raised her head, and stared back without showing any weakness.

"Hey, hey, where are you students! Get out of the way, don't block Miss Alita's way!" Someone from the crowd next to him immediately shouted.

This woman named Alita seems to be quite popular, and soon, more and more people joined the ranks of condemnation.

Misaka Mikoto also learned Alita's identity from what people were talking about - an internationally renowned actress, the kind that is world-renowned.

It is said to be the strongest contender for this year's Oscar.

The two of Misaka looked at each other, neither of them had the hobby of chasing stars, so they didn't know anything about it.

In the end, it was Alita who rescued them.

"Okay, don't scare the children. They are my fans." Alita took out a note pad from the entourage, wrote two signatures and handed them to Misaka Mikoto and the others.

Then continue walking towards the door.

Grabbing the signature paper, Misaka Mikoto was a little dazed—I had to admit that although she was a little arrogant, Alita did have a special charm, no wonder she was able to convince so many people.

At this moment, the lobby suddenly went dark, and the overhead chandelier exploded without warning.

At the same time, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd of reporters. The cameras in their hands were damaged one after another, and the electronic equipment even emitted dazzling electric light, which injured many people.

The fuses of the entire hotel's power supply system blew at the same time, and arcs visible to the naked eye traveled along the cables, screaming and screaming.

"In the basement!" Misaka Mikoto immediately identified the source of the problem, and immediately squeezed through the crowd with Misaka Mihoshi and ran towards the stairwell.

"That child..." Alita's accompanying assistant noticed this scene.

"Don't worry about her," Alita said without turning her head, "we continue to act according to the schedule."

Abandoning the chaotic hotel, Alita and his party boarded the car and drove away.

===Chapter 39 Apostle Alita===

A current was released to unlock the electronic lock on the door, and Misaka Mikoto kicked the door open.

"Don't move!" Misaka Miho rushed into the room first, with the iron nail between her fingers and was about to shoot.

But the expected attack did not occur, and the spacious room was full of pipelines, which is the hotel's power distribution room.The layout in the room was intricate, but there was no one there.

"Be careful, she's at the bottom!" Misaka Mikoto reminded.

"I know, I can see clearly at this distance." Misaka Mihoi said, and ran out first.

Soon, the two came to the target location.

"What is this...?" Misaka Miho looked at the scene in front of her and said in surprise, "If you guessed right, this is the so-called electric chair, right?"

In the deepest part of the power distribution room, what appeared in front of them was obviously not an enemy, but a girl tied to an electric chair.

The torture transformed from a hotel massage chair has a strange aesthetic feeling. If its real purpose is removed, it will definitely be regarded as a post-modern art work, right?

But at this very moment, there was a girl tied to a chair with a headband full of electrodes on her head.

The thick cables are directly connected to the power distribution cabinet on the side, and the current is input into the headband.

Although the entire hotel was in a power outage at this time, this place alone was filled with a large amount of current, even breaking through the air, pulling out arcs between the walls and the ceiling.

Of course, the wanton electric current cannot harm Misaka Mikoto and Misaka Mihoi, just like driving away annoying flying insects, Misaka Mikoto waved all the current into the ground.

Misaka Mihoshi held the iron nails to stay on guard, Misaka Mikoto ran forward quickly and rescued the girl.

It stands to reason that in the case of direct stimulation of the brain with electric current for a long time, no one can survive.

But this girl is still alive, but she has suffered severe physical and mental injuries, and the situation is not very good.

"The current is specially set, so it won't be fatal immediately." Misaka Mikoto touched the electrodes, "But after such a long time, the brains of normal people should have been burnt, guess right?"

"So, is this a normal person?" Misaka Miho said, and it was not difficult to see that the girl was wearing a school uniform - obviously a student of a certain school.

In other words, it is very likely to be a person with abilities.

Misaka Mikoto heard this and carefully identified her: "That's right, I know her! Miyuki Shino is a level 4 denizen, 'Charge Shock'!"

In the process of investigating last night's murderer, Misaka Mikoto specifically investigated all level 3 and level 4 denizens in Academy City, and among them was information about Miyuki Shino.

Her ability is "charge shock", figuratively speaking, it is a humanoid rechargeable battery.

Shino Miyuki is able to store large amounts of electricity and then release it as needed.Her power is even comparable to that of Misaka Mikoto if need be.

"Obviously, we were tricked by the real apostle!" Misaka Mihoshi shrugged.

The enemy regards Shino Miyuki as a human-shaped discharger, first "charging" her continuously, and then discharging her in one breath-the instantaneous burst of high current breaks down the hotel's carefully set protection system, leading to a severe accident of large-scale power outages .

Although she was unwilling, Misaka Mikoto said happily, "At least I saved Shino Miyuki-senpai."

Shino Miyuki survived because she is a level 4 electric shock user, and her ability is still of the "stored electricity" type.
