MTL - The Puppeteer of Academy City-Chapter 13 Misunderstand
At the same time, Ling Xingye, who couldn't wait for the enemy to come to him on the other side, simply started to study the lessons planned for today remotely through his mobile phone.
This abandoned building is covered with his special silk threads, any movement will alarm Ling Xingye.
The tall sprite stood beside him like a loyal guard.
Ling Xingye, who was immersed in the video data, completely forgot the passage of time in the outside world.
Until suddenly woke up by the phone ringing.
It is an unfamiliar number, but it has been registered in the local directory.
Ling Xingye had an impression of this number, it was Qifan, one of the leaders of the incapable armed group he called during the day.
what happened? Ling Xingye became puzzled. Generally, these people would not call him easily, at most it was just a routine email notification at ten o'clock every night.
Ling Xingye answered the phone: "What's wrong."
"Brother Ling! Have you moved recently?"
"Yes, you also know this?"
"It just so happened that a little brother saw it..." Qifan seemed very anxious, but just explained casually, "The big thing is bad, the apartment where the eldest brother lives seems to have caught fire and exploded just now!"
Ling Xingye's eyes were fixed: "They are not playing cards according to the routine..."
I am here to invite you into the urn, but I didn't expect that the enemy would wait at the door of my house all day long!
"What?" Seven asked.
"I didn't tell you," Ling Xingye shook his head, "Thank you for your notification, I'll go back and have a look. Don't lift the alert on these three battlefields for now, and keep your little brothers away."
"Understood, brother!"
Ling Xingye hung up the phone, picked up the package beside her, and jumped down from the roof together with the monster.
Half an hour later, Ling Xingye returned to the apartment building.
At this time, the fire brigade had just left.
Although the fire looked ferocious, it actually did very little damage. At most, it only blackened the walls and ceiling, which caused a lot of trouble for the cleaners.
Ling Xingye frowned and walked into his apartment.
He found the locks had been broken and his room had clearly been broken into.
The biggest evidence is the "sun and moon flying in the sky" on the wall - Ling Xingye remembered that he hadn't had time to hang it before leaving.
Looking around again, Ling Xingye keenly noticed more details.
Some documents were taken away, and his photos and tools were also flipped through.
However, there were no organ traps left.
What happened? Let that magician leave in a hurry? Who did he fight again?
Ling Xingye was taken aback suddenly, and looked up at the wall—on the other side of the wall lived his neighbor Touma Kamijou.
It can't be that guy, can it?
Ling Xingye hurried to the door of Kamijou Touma, but there was no movement after knocking on the door for a long time.
The only thing that is confirmed is that Kamijou Touma has not been killed, otherwise the enemy would not have left in such a hurry - they must have gone after him.
After figuring this out, Ling Xingye rushed out immediately.
"We must stop him!" Ling Xingye's eyes showed an anxious look for the first time, "I can no longer involve other people in my war!"
…
Until early in the morning, when Hitomi Shiranui anxiously called to confirm safety, Ling Xingye could not find any trace of Kamijou Touma and the magician.
For this reason, he even mobilized the entire academy city's group of incompetents to find people together. But still nothing.
If it weren't for Academy City's official information website, there was no news such as "the death of an ordinary student", Ling Xingye would probably be sure that Kamijou Touma had been brutally murdered.
But in fact, this was just a misunderstanding caused by Ling Xingye not knowing Kamijou Touma's mobile phone number and poor communication.
—Actually, Kamijou Touma and Index are both safe and sound.
They were able to escape smoothly under the intentional release of water by the magician of the flame.
Kamijou Touma, who was seriously injured on his back, went to the home of his teacher Tsukiyomi Komoe.
Even Kamijou Touma, who had no medical training, knew that the injury of the girl behind her was so serious that normal treatment could not handle it. So the only option is to follow Index's own suggestion—to use so-called magic for treatment.
But magic and superpowers are incompatible, which is also an "axiom" proposed by Index. And in this academy city, all students are superpowers, even if they are only level 0 powerless people, they are also capable people, so it is impossible to use magic.
So, the remaining options are adults who are "not students".
They may be able to cast magical effects under the guidance of Index.
Kamijou Touma immediately thought of his class teacher, Tsuyei Komoe, who is petite but passionate about teaching students.
Teacher Xiaomeng did indeed heal Index's injury successfully. Moreover, she, who was extremely nervous, didn't ask more questions, so she let Kamijou and the two stay in her home temporarily.
In order to avoid possible pursuit, Kamijou Touma did not return to his apartment for the next three days.
But as an ordinary high school student, Kamijou Touma seems to have only this level of anti-detection awareness and means.
It never occurred to him that this rough way of evading could not hide from the eyes of the two magicians from the very beginning.
And when he went out to buy breakfast the next day, he was witnessed by a member of the Incompetent Group, and the photos were sent directly to Ling Xingye's phone.
Confirming that Kamijou Touma is safe and well, and that he is still in the mood to buy breakfast, Ling Xingye is also relieved.
It seems that the enemy also knew that it was a misunderstanding, and was worried about scaring the snake, so he hid it again.
"The next question is..." Ling Xingye packed the two travel bags and stepped out of the door again, "Why didn't you just come and kill me? Don't they know that I have always carried the 'Original Code' with me?"
That's right, since coming to Academy City, Ling Xingye has experienced hundreds of attacks and assassinations. What the enemy did was the "Original Code" in his hand - "Thousand Machine Changes", which is said to have recorded all the secret arts of the puppet master family.
Magicians, puppeteers, automatons, assassin ninjas, summoned beasts...almost all imaginable and unexpected enemies appear one by one.
In order to deal with these demons and ghosts, UU reading www. uukanshu.com And to prevent them from accidentally injuring the innocent people around, Ling Xingye had to take advantage of Academy City's "home field advantage" and choose to cooperate with the chairman of the board, Aleister.
Aleister was also deeply interested in these people and things that came out of that mysterious continent.
Thus, this "cooperation" has continued until the third year.
... On the night of July 22nd, at the top of the ten-story office building less than a kilometer away from Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng's house, the flame magician Stiyl was using a small telescope to observe the scene in the opposite room.
The boy with the hedgehog head was messing with Index, laughing and fighting like two idiots.
Index seemed to be annoyed, and bit the boy's head forcefully. The boy was struggling in panic, and seemed to be wailing and begging for mercy.
What a peace... Stiyl was speechless, and the cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth burned out in an instant.
So he took the cigarette case out of his pocket again.
"How's their situation?" said the long-haired girl with a sword next to her. She didn't use a telescope. Although her eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people, it was still difficult to see details at such a long distance.
Without saying a word, Stiyl handed the binoculars to Kanzaki.
"We get along pretty well, don't we?"
"This is not a good thing..." Stiyl snorted.
"Fortunately," Kanzaki said, "they've only known each other for a while, so the parting shouldn't be too painful."
"You really think so?" Steele asked back.
A silent silence answered him.
Neither of them was willing to continue this topic, and after a while, Kanzaki Kaori also put down his binoculars and noticed that his companion beside him was flipping through a stack of documents.
"Any new information?"
