Academy City's Puppet Master

If he hadn't wanted to say hello to Ling Xingye for the last time, Hua 21 might have left quietly.

Although there were many misunderstandings at the beginning, and the two sides even fought violently, they finally let go of their conflicts, and Hua 21 also understood Ling Xingye's original situation.

It cannot be said that turning an enemy into a friend, but at least both parties recognize that they are in the same camp and can cooperate to fight against the automatic puppet of the common enemy.

What's more, in the event of rescuing the Misaka sisters, Hua 21 was still the most critical ally.

Just because of this kindness, Ling Xingye also felt that he should come to see him off.

"Actually, Misaka Mikoto is the one who thanks you the most, but she left suddenly and couldn't come to see you off." Ling Xingye said, "So I specifically asked me to convey her thanks and apology."

Hua 21 said, "I don't deserve to be thanked, it's just an instinctive reaction. Let her thank you well."

"Thank me?"

"In the final analysis, I am also an outsider. Even if I have called you in advance, from the perspective of the chairman of the board, Aleister, it is already very generous not to force us to be deported." Hua 21 sneered, "Now look back Think about it, how could he reach an agreement with me as an intruder so easily?"

"I have indeed contacted him." Ling Xingye nodded and admitted, "But I always feel that he has expected it."

Hua 21 put on the sunglasses: "Anyway, be careful, that guy is not simple, even the elders are very afraid."

"Also," Hua 21 suddenly approached, leaning into Ling Xingye's ear, "My departure means the next round of the book competition. Be careful, the automatic puppets are coming!"

"That's it, I'm leaving." Hua 21 took a step back and waved goodbye sassyly, "By the way, I can go to the villa as a guest when I have time."

Watching Hua 21's back disappear at the boarding gate, Ling Xingye and Shiranui Tong turned and left.

"In the end she said she was going to be a guest at the villa?" Hitomi Shiranui asked, "What do you mean?"

"It should be their temporary base in Academy City." Ling Xingye thought for a while, "Misaka 10001 knows where it is."

Sure enough, it is impossible for Hua 21 to evacuate everyone, and there will definitely be some people left to deal with the coming automatic puppets, which can be regarded as a little help for Ling Xingye.

Of course Ling Xingye welcomes this.

Otherwise, the only organization online in Academy City is Lu Cun, it would be better not to have it!

"What are you going to do next?" Hitomi Shiranui asked him, "The enemies come one after another, and they don't give you any rest time."

There was some worry on his face, but more of annoyance.

Having been with Ling Xingye for a long time, even Hitomi Shiranui is used to those endless enemies and battles.

Ling Xingye took out his phone and shook it: "Don't worry, I will receive the information when the enemy comes."

With that said, the two boarded the return bus.

Today is the weekend, and during the rare rest day, the two of them are not in a hurry to go home or go back to school.

After lunch, Ling Xingye went shopping with Hitomi Shiranui.

Originally, Hitomi Shiranui planned to invite Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 10001, and even Shirai Kuroko, Uiharu Shiri, Saten Ruiko, and Kamijo Touma to a small gathering.

But helplessly, on the second day after the incident, Misaka Mikoto and the other girls left Academy City for participating in the "Wide Area Social Visit", and ran to the Western Hemisphere in one breath.

Chuchun Shili and Shirai Kuroko almost submitted the incident report on the front foot, and then they were notified and sent to the plane.

Including the teacher Huang Quanchuan Aiho who led the team, almost all the people who were deeply involved in the incident were packaged and sent out to keep them away from the center of public opinion.

This is also part of Academy City's intelligence control.

As for the few boys who were also present, due to various reasons, they were not within the scope of control.

Ling Xingye and Shiranui Hitomi walked the streets in a strolling posture, didn't say much, just enjoyed this rare peace and silence tacitly.

This is the fifth school district where Ling Xingye is used to activities. Although it cannot be said to be the most bustling and lively area in Academy City, it is also full of vitality, especially on rest days.

The shopping street they were walking on was the stage commonly used by Lingxingye street performances. Students from the five nearby universities would come here to shop and relax after school or after class, without worrying about the lack of audience.

Walking on the street, Ling Xingye's iconic huge travel bag made him quickly recognized by others.

"Hey, puppet master, is there any performance today?"

"The performance the day before yesterday was really wonderful!"

"Hey, is there a puppet show?"

""

The enthusiastic audience who heard the news quickly surrounded Ling Xingye, and there were even fans who asked him to sign.

Ling Xingye smiled wryly and looked at Hitomi Shiranui who was pushed away by the crowd. Obviously, now is not the time for street performances.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just out shopping, I don't have any performance arrangements for now"

While signing autographs and comforting the audience, Ling Xingye tried to move forward, trying to get rid of the crowd.

As a street performer, after all, he still has to rely on the audience and fans in front of him for food. Ling Xingye doesn't want to offend his parents rashly, so facing the current situation is also a headache.

In the end, the patrolling guards came over to disperse the crowd when they noticed the crowding and congestion here.

"Puppeteer, let's work hard! The competition is fierce recently!"

When some fans left, they even gave a special reminder.

"Fierce competition? What do you mean?" Ling Xingye was confused.

Want to ask, but the other party has gone away.
