The Puppeteer of Academy City

Ling Xingye immediately turned back to the house, grabbed the travel bag and rushed out, jumping off the seventh floor with Misaka 10001 in his arms.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the apartment next door was also opened.

Kanzaki Kaori came to the corridor, and looked at the two figures who were quickly going away below.

She grasped the long knife in her hand, and pressed the other hand on the railing of the corridor.

"No, big sister Kanzaki."

Someone around him suddenly spoke to stop him.

It was Tsuchimikado Motoharu who lived on the same floor—he also came out at some point, and was leaning on the railing to watch Ling Xingye's disappearing direction.

Kanzaki Kaori didn't seem too surprised by the sudden appearance of this man.

She frowned slightly, as if hesitating about something.

"Xingye...he is going to fight!" Kanzaki Kaori said, "I can feel his fighting spirit—full of the tragic atmosphere of a fight to the death!"

"Well, who is the opponent after all..." Tsuchimikado Motoharu shrugged, "Is this level of awareness necessary?"

"My mission is to protect him!"

Tsuchimikado Motoharu corrected: "Your task is to 'protect him from magic attacks'!"

"In other words," he continued, "you can only make a move if the opponent is a magician... But this time, Ling Xingye is facing an opponent with real superpowers."

"But..." Kanzaki Kaori reluctantly clenched the handle of the knife.

"Well, our Xingye is quite powerful, so don't worry too much." Tsuchimikado Motoharu comforted without sincerity, "Anyway, Xingye should be used to this kind of thing, right?"

"This is the instruction of the Supreme Bishop." Tsuchimikado Motoharu added one last sentence.

Kanzaki Kaori hammered the railing unwillingly, and the cast iron railing sagged and bent.

Tuyumen Motoharu was stunned, stepped back silently, said "good night" and went back to the room.

On the street shrouded in darkness, two figures were running fast.

After jumping down from the seventh floor, Ling Xingye put down Misaka 10001, and then the two ran on the road together.

"You should get a car instead." Ling Xingye muttered.

"Misaka has the skills to drive a variety of vehicles. He also has the knowledge to open the doors and start the ignition without a key. Misaka took the opportunity to say."

"... Forget it," Ling Xingye shook his head helplessly, "According to the information you provided, we don't need to run too far. A few steps will do."

Moreover, Ling Xingye's own speed can completely exceed that of ordinary vehicles. In an emergency, the legs are more reliable.

Misaka 10001 equipped with clockwork bandages can also keep up with Ling Xingye's speed.

So the two of them ran not slow at all.

Ling Xingye asked as he ran: "Where did you get the equipment on your body?"

Ling Xingye still remembered that when Misaka 10001 moved to the school house, the box of equipment was left under his bed.

So how did Misaka 10001 get such a set of equipment now?

"Misaka found the supply point preset for the 'experiment' and obtained spare equipment. Misaka explained."

"For this 'experiment', that guy Kihara Suta actually hid these dangerous things in the city?" Ling Xingye couldn't help being speechless when he heard this.

But compared to the "experiment" itself, things like placing weapons concealed in the corners of the city are nothing.

Looking at the girl who was closely following her, Ling Xingye suddenly thought of something, and slowed down: "I already know the time and place. So Misaka, you should go back first. The access control of the dormitory has already passed, right?"

"?" Misaka 10001 did not speak, but her doubts were clearly revealed.

"Now you are an ordinary junior high school student." Ling Xingye said, "And you are already free, and you don't need to be involved in this 'experiment' anymore."

Ling Xingye suddenly realized just now that Misaka 10001 should not continue to follow him.

This girl has been given a new life!

However, during the previous period, every night when he went out to prevent Accelerator from carrying out "experiments", he would take Misaka 10001 with him. So just now Ling Xingye also habitually acquiesced that she was by her side.

But Ling Xingye realized later that Misaka 10001 had escaped from the "experiment". She no longer needed her own personal protection, and of course she didn't need to follow her to the battlefield!

"This is Misaka's own decision. Misaka has been freed, but there are more Misakas who need to be rescued. Misaka insists on not leaving."

"But you can't help much," Ling Xingye looked at the assault rifle in the girl's arms, "so let's go back."

"Master is really forgetful. Misaka told you the detailed information about the 'experiment'. How can you say that Misaka is useless? Misaka used a somewhat impolite tone because she was angry."

"No, what I mean is," Ling Xingye thought for a while, "The intelligence support work can be done at the rear, and there is no need for you to follow me to that dangerous battlefield."

"The master is indeed just like what my sister said, he is a machismo! Misaka refused to accept the order and continued to move forward without authorization."

Ling Xingye shook his head and could only let her continue to follow.

Indeed, as Misaka 10001 said, Ling Xingye is used to taking all the problems on his own.

For example, this time, Ling Xingye did not tell Misaka Miqin the information about the "experiment", because she did not want her to interfere in the battle between him and Accelerator.

You must use your own strength to resolve this incident—you can't let others get hurt because of it!

But today, Misaka 10001's attitude was extremely firm, which made Ling Xingye feel a little difficult.

Ling Xingye quickly chased after him: "Okay, I can take you to act together, but you must completely obey my orders, and you must not attack Accelerator."

"If you violate these two rules, then I will never take you to act together again in the future." Ling Xingye warned.

"Misaka promises to obey the master's orders! Misaka replied seriously ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Forget it," Ling Xingye shook his head, "That's it, at least I can protect you alone..."

Having said that, Ling Xingye suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

On the empty and uninhabited streets, there are no other things except street lamps and street trees.

But just now Ling Xingye felt that there seemed to be a gaze staring at them.

"Could it be my illusion?" Ling Xingye said to himself.

Then Misaka 10001 and Misaka 10001 suddenly accelerated away from here.

A moment later, a pitch-black crow jumped out from the canopy of the tree, soared into the sky, and plunged into the same pitch-black night.

"The stage has been set up, and all the actors are in place. Now it's time for the show!" The crow chuckled, flying in the air and following Ling Xingye silently.
