The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 42: Kamijou Touma's request for help



In Ling Xingye's apartment, in a somewhat weird atmosphere, the three of them had breakfast together.

Looking at Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui's attitudes that seemed to be taken for granted, Misaka Mikoto felt more and more redundant.

But to back down at a time like this is to lose!

Tokiwadai's Dengeki Princess is strangely competitive again.

After breakfast, Hitomi Shiranui tidied up the table naturally and asked, "How do you feel Xingye? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"No need." Ling Xingye shook his head, "I'm still a little tired, but the wounds on my body have completely healed. Kanzaki's magic seems to be quite effective... such a convenient skill, I really want to learn it."

"No, if Xingye learns it, he will definitely mess up even more."

Using the camping cooker, Hitomi Shiranui made tea and served it on the low table.

"Misaka-san, please drink some tea."

"Ah, thank you, senior!" Misaka Mikoto woke up suddenly.

"You're welcome, thank you for your concern for Xingye." Hitomi Shiranui smiled.

"Why did Senior come to thank you!" Misaka Mikoto finally couldn't help complaining.

"Sorry, I'm just still in the middle of an accident—I'm a little surprised that you will come, Misaka." Ling Xingye shrugged, then put his hands together, and slightly possessed himself like a Buddha, "Thank you for your concern."

"Don't use honorifics for me, you are a senior!" Misaka Mikoto shouted, "Besides, I didn't come here for your thanks..."

Hitomi Shiranui also sat down, ready to ask about what happened these days. Ling Xingye didn't hide it either, but considering that there was Misaka Mikoto present, he withdrew some particularly secret information and told the story of what happened in the past few days.

"Jinglingling~"

Just as he was talking, Ling Xingye's cell phone rang suddenly.

Spooky found the phone from under the pillow and threw it at Ling Xingye.

"I always feel that that guy is almost like a real person..." Misaka Mikoto said with emotion.

"Thank you for the compliment." Ling Xingye responded, looking at the phone, "It's a landline, an unknown number..."

Noticing the other two people, especially Hitomi Shiranui approaching quietly, Ling Xingye consciously turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, is this Ling Xingye's number?" A strange girl's voice came from the other end.

Not a classmate, Shiranuo Tong looked at Ling Xingye, who also shook his head to express that he did not know the caller.

So he simply asked: "Yes, are you..."

"Ah, excuse me, I'm Yueyong Xiaomeng, a teacher."

Although the other party claimed to be so, it felt that the voice was obviously much younger than the identity of "teacher".

Ling Xingye looked at Shiranui Tong again, who shook his head again—it seems that Yue Yong Xiaomeng is not a teacher at their school this year.

"Uh...what's the matter?"

"Ah, that's how it is," Tsukiyong Komoe-teacher said hastily, "It's Kamijou Touma who wants to find you..."

While speaking, the phone seemed to be handed over to another person.

"Hey, starry night? I'm Touma Kamijou, remember? Your new neighbor."

"Of course I still remember, I just met yesterday." Ling Xingye asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hey...it's that idiot!" Misaka Mikoto said suddenly.

"Hey, is Bilibili here?" Kamijou Touma asked in surprise.

"My name is Misaka Mikoto, please memorize her name!" The brown-haired girl leaned out and shouted at the phone.

At this time, Yueyong Xiaomoe's voice faintly came from the other end of the phone: "Is it Misaka from Tokiwadai Middle School? If so, maybe we can contact that person."

"Who are you looking for?" Misaka Mikoto took up the topic.

Helpless, Ling Xingye pushed the phone to the middle of the table so that the girl sitting opposite could talk.

"Shokuhou Misaki, another level 5 from Tokiwadai, mentally mastered." Kamijou Touma said with a straight face.

"Hey...do I need to find her?" Misaka Mikoto muttered in a low voice, resumed sitting upright, and intentionally or unintentionally distanced herself, "I don't know her very well..."

In fact, Misaka Mikoto doesn't have Shokuhou Misaki's cell phone number at all because of her natural horoscope incompatibility.

Finally, Ling Xingye regained the right to speak: "And then? If you want to find Shokuhou Misaki, why would you call me?"

"Sorry, because the personal information of people with abilities above level 4 is specially kept confidential, it is difficult for outsiders to obtain..." Kamijou Touma explained, "Besides, I didn't call you for Shokuhou Misaki, but to find another An ability user in the Department of Psychology—level 4 memory construction, Hitomi Shiranui. The girl who was with you when you moved before was Hitomi Shiranui, right?"

At this time, Ling Xingye and Misaka Mikoto both turned their gazes to Hitomi Shiranui at the side.

Hitomi reached out and pulled the phone in front of her, and said, "I'm right here, what's the matter?"

"Huh? Is Shiranui-san here too? Why do you happen to be together?" Kamijou Touma was stunned for a moment, but immediately cut to the point, "Anyway, this is really great! I have some questions about memory and I want to consult..."

"Is that why you thought of looking for me or Shokuhou Misaki?"

Kamijou Touma said: "It's convenient, can I invite you to come over here? There is a... a patient who needs your help... please!"

There was a dull banging sound from the phone, and it was not hard to imagine Kamijou Touma on the other end kneeling and kowtowing as a gesture of pleading.

"That's it...tell me the address" Hitomi Shiranui agreed without hesitation. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Then she hung up the phone and looked at Ling Xingye: "It's rare for a neighbor to come to ask for help, so I have to help. Besides, this Kamijou Touma is also related to yesterday's incident, right?"

"That's right." Ling Xingye didn't object.

Because he has not completely defeated his enemies, he is now in a more dangerous situation. In this case, Ling Xingye is more inclined to stay outside to prevent his home from being destroyed by the battle.

Moreover, Kamijou Touma seems to have two powerful magicians watching secretly. Judging from Kanzaki's performance, they are not bad people, and they can safely send the two girls here to avoid the battle on their side.

Since he was going to go out, he naturally had to take the sprites with him—this was the case in ordinary times, not to mention the time when a battle might happen at any time.

However, since the two large travel bags were damaged in yesterday's battle, Ling Xingye had no way to carry the sprites on the road.

So he dug out a long windbreaker from the cardboard box that he hadn't had time to tidy up, put it on the monster, and then put on a hat and sunglasses to cover his whole body completely, and walked up the hall majestically as the fourth person. street.

Misaka Mikoto circled the sprite very curiously along the way, trying to figure out the mystery of its actions.

The distance is close, coupled with careful observation, it is not difficult to find the silk thread used to control the puppet.

And the other end of the thread was on the finger of Ling Xingye's left hand that was stuck in his pocket.

However, this kind of wiring and control method violates the basic scientific principles intuitively. Without a fulcrum to rely on, how can it be possible to control this puppet through silk threads?

"Actually, this is a high-tech automatic robot, right?" Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but wonder.
