The Puppeteer of Academy City

Standing in the blind area of ​​the surveillance camera outside the dormitory building wall, Misaka Mikoto summoned Shirai Kuroko on the phone.

"Sister!" A petite girl with ponytails in pajamas appeared directly behind Misaka Mikoto, and hugged the electric shocker with a bear hug.

"Don't do that on the street!"

"It's night anyway, no one will pass by..."

Then, Baijing Heizi noticed Ling Xingye's existence.

She didn't feel shy because of her pajamas, but showed a broken smile: "Ahaha, is this gentleman the one who had dinner with my sister? Thank you so much for your care..."

Suddenly, the petite girl turned her head and muttered: "Damn it, **** it! I'm so envious! Unforgivable..."

Misaka Mikoto has long been accustomed to the behavior of her roommate, but because Ling Xingye is beside her, she still feels extremely embarrassed and ashamed.

"Restrain me a bit, pervert!" Misaka Mikoto's characteristic roar was mixed with the crackling sound of electricity and the strange howl of pain from another girl.

In fact, Shirai Kuroko had long been used to this level of electric shock, and although he was not completely immune, he would not be easily knocked down either.

Quan was playing with her beloved elder sister.

I can't see that the disciplinary committee member who has become more active and full of air has such an unknown side...

Ling Xingye actually recognized the identity of Shirai Heizi from the very beginning, but in the mode of the discipline committee member who had dealt with before, there were completely two people. So it still made him a little unacceptable, and he didn't dare to confirm it immediately.

The playful Shirai Heizi also distractedly observed Ling Xingye—all male friends who are close to her elder sister are her key investigation targets!

After seeing the boy's face clearly with the help of the street lamp, Shirai Kuroko's face turned cold, and he disappeared from the entanglement with his elder sister in an instant, and then appeared in front of Misaka Mikoto. Facing Ling Xingye.

She boldly lifted off her nightgown, revealing her white and smooth thighs, and reached out to wipe the bottom of her legs, with three metal nails already sandwiched between her fingers.

"Heizi, what are you doing!" Misaka Mikoto hurriedly shouted behind her.

"My lord, please back off!" Bai Jing Heizi fixed his eyes on Ling Xingye, "This man is very dangerous, we must not let him approach easily!"

Ling Xingye didn't waver in the slightest to the girl's overreaction, but nodded calmly: "Long time no see, Disciplinary Commissioner."

"You bastard!" Shirai Heizi gasped in displeasure.

Misaka Mikoto was still in a daze: "Did you... know each other before?"

"Let's count it for now." Ling Xingye replied ambiguously, "Since the person has been delivered safely, then I will go back first."

"Is that why you asked me to bring back a midnight snack!" Misaka Mikoto raised the plastic bag in her hand.

"What supper?" Shirai Heizi asked confused.

Ling Xingye didn't look back, and walked straight away, and disappeared after turning a street corner.

"I'm so touched! Elder sister actually prepared a special supper for me!"

With Ling Xingye's departure, Baijing Heizi also instantly returned to normal.

"Wait, let me explain what happened just now?" Misaka Mikoto hid the plastic bag containing the lunch box behind her back.

"Ah, that man! He is a dangerous person. A man whose name is on the focus list of almost every branch—Ling Xingye!"

"Hey, can't you see it." Misaka Mikoto sighed, "But Xingye is really powerful, he can even block my railgun without a hair."

"What!" Shirai Heizi screamed, "My lord sister actually called him Xingye directly! Could it be that your relationship has developed to this extent! Heizi, I absolutely don't agree!"

"Calm down!" Misaka Mikoto threatened with a flash of light in her hand, "Tell me what's going on!"

"That man is one of the key targets of all our disciplinary committees, and even a famous terrorist existence on the wanted list!" Shirai Kuroko said seriously, "However, because there seems to be interference from the high-level of Academy City, we have to withdraw In order to get him wanted, he can't even take the initiative to deliberately investigate his affairs, so he can only be included in the list of key targets..."

"Did Xingye do anything bad? To make you so stubborn?" Misaka Mikoto continued to ask. In her opinion, Ling Xingye's only "bad deed" was a street gangster who beat up the incompetent... And this is what Misaka Mikoto It doesn't appear to be a problem at all.

"It is said that that man is recognized as the boss and leader of all groups of armed incompetents in Academy City!"

…

After leaving the street of the dormitory building of Tokiwadai Middle School, Ling Xingye raised his head and looked around. Carefully observe every inch of the surrounding space with unabashedly critical eyes.

Of course, what I saw was just ordinary empty streets, nothing special.

At this time, his mobile phone suddenly vibrated continuously, and the ringtones representing the mail came one after another, and they rang continuously for more than a minute.

This means that hundreds of emails were sent at almost the same time.

Ling Xingye seemed to have known this would happen a long time ago, so he waited until the last ringtone stopped before turning on the phone.

Hundreds of different numbers lined up in sequence.

The content of the emails sent is also similar, the basic format is just a few words "location + everything is normal".

These locations are not major blocks, schools, or businesses, but deserted and undeveloped areas in Academy City. That is, the area outside the "normal world".

"It seems that today is also a day of peace." Ling Xingye quickly browsed through all the emails, and looked up again, "It's been a month, and there are no new attacks... Have they given up? Or because they moved, they found the wrong place gone?"

The corners of Ling Xingye's mouth rose, revealing a mocking chuckle.

He knew very well that this city was definitely not as beautiful and safe as most people imagined.

He is more aware of how much blood and danger is hidden in the night of this city.

That's why Ling Xingye insisted on sending Misaka Miqin back to the dormitory all the way.

If it's just unrelated people who don't know, Ling Xingye won't care about them. But if he notices it, then he will never give up easily.

This is Ling Xingye's character and way of dealing with the world.

After all, even the most powerful human being in Academy City and even the world, the level 5 railgun Misaka Mikoto, in Ling Xingye's eyes, is just a middle school girl who hasn't grown up yet.

In terms of strength, Misaka Mikoto is very strong. But she doesn't know how to fight, and she doesn't know how to face a life-and-death fight in the true sense.

Therefore, she needs special care and protection.

At least tonight—with himself already involved, Ling Xingye believed that he had an obligation to ensure the safety of the girl.
