Academy City's Puppet Master

"What, the stabbing sword is not in her hand?!" In the command center, Jian Gong Zhaizi, who received the results of the on-site interrogation, shouted loudly, "Could it be that it has been delivered to Lidovia?"

"Don't worry," Ling Xingye comforted, "If you can catch one, you can catch the other."

"Report, the prisoner wants to speak directly with the commander." The suppression force suddenly sent a communication.

Ling Xingye and Jian Gongzhai glanced at each other, and then said: "Okay, take the signal over."

Immediately, Orianna's figure appeared on the big screen. She was tightly trapped by the full-body restraint uniform, and she could hardly move.

"I thought who it was, was it a brat who was behind the command?" Orianna said, "Ah, I remember I read your information... Ling Xingye, right? You are quite famous on our side Woolen cloth."

"Let's gossip less, if you can, please directly explain the whereabouts of Jitu Hangjian." Ling Xingye asked bluntly.

Orianna laughed: "So that's the case, do you still think it's that..."

"What do you mean?"

"No," Orianna said bluntly, "There was no such thing as a stabbing sword from the beginning."

"Don't lie, we have sufficient information to prove that you came to Academy City with a powerful spiritual outfit!" Jiangong Zhaizi rushed forward and snapped.

"There is indeed a spiritual outfit, but it's not the stabbing sword—it's just a legend." Oriana smiled with a tricky smile, "Sister, the spiritual outfit I gave is something called 'Apostle's Cross'. "

"Apostle's Cross?" Ling Xingye turned to look at Jian Gongzhai.

The latter recalled: "I've heard that it seems to be a very precious spiritual outfit collected by the Orthodox Church. But I don't know what the specific effect is, it seems more like a collection."

"That's right," Orianna nodded repeatedly, "That one has no offensive power at all, it's just a very important 'symbol' for the Orthodox Church."

Jian Gongzhai asked: "In other words, isn't that a powerful weapon that can kill a saint with one blow?"

"How could there be such an unreasonable weapon." Orianna sneered, "Brother, you underestimate the saint and the power of your former pope too much."

Jian Gongzhai ignored her taunt, turned to look at the other companions and Ling Xingye.

Wu He whispered, "I feel like she's not lying."

Ling Xingye also said: "The lie detector didn't respond either. Unless she used some kind of magic to cheat, you can believe what she said."

Niu Shen and Urakami breathed a sigh of relief together: "What, it turned out that the information was wrong, which made us nervous for a long time."

At this time, Wuhe's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Ah, it's the female pope!"

Wuhe exclaimed and quickly connected.

It turned out that the person who was in charge of visiting Kanzaki Kaori and trying to hold her back was exposed before long.

After learning about the situation, Kanzaki Kaori was so anxious that he wanted to go out to help regardless of his own safety, but was stopped by his subordinates.

Just when they were at a stalemate, they suddenly received a contact from the Supreme Bishop...

"The female Pope has also confirmed." Putting down the phone, Wuhe looked at everyone, "This time they are indeed delivering the 'Apostles' Cross'."

"That is to say... the alarm is lifted?!" Jian Gong Zhaizi cheered.

"Also," Wuhe continued, "The Pope asked us to meet her..."

"Hey, are you going to be punished..." The other three men frown instantly, "But as long as the female pope is fine."

After all, the four of Amakusa Shiki didn't care about other things, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye to Ling Xingye.

Across the big screen, Oriana watched what happened in the command center, suddenly thinking.

"I see. Are they worried about being retaliated by the Roman Orthodox Church?" She shook her head, "However... I can send you a piece of information for free. This operation is not a retaliation against you. It's just Lidovia's personal behavior."

"Really? Thank you for your information." Ling Xingye cut off the communication with a wave of his hand.

Now that it was confirmed that Kanzaki Kaori was not in danger, and Oriana was not transporting an attack-type spiritual outfit, Ling Xingye lost interest in this matter instantly.There is no motivation to continue the investigation.

...Leave the rest of the work to the security forces.

After a busy morning, although he didn't take action himself, Ling Xingye, who was in charge of remote command, didn't go anywhere easily.

When I was free at this time, I realized that my phone had accumulated a lot of missed calls and emails.

——He perfectly missed the group project in the morning.

So he had to go back and report anyway.

……

Meanwhile, the trio of Kamijou Touma, Stiyl, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu wander the streets, looking for a place to eat.

In fact, what they need most now is a hospital and treatment - both Stiyl and Tsuchimikado Motoharu were injured to varying degrees during the process of tracking Oriana.

"The good news is that Oriana has been captured by Xingye!" Motoharu Tsuchimikado said, "But the problem has not been solved—'Apostle's Cross' is the most serious problem!"

"Isn't there a starry night," Kamijou Touma said, "we just need to wait for his news."

"Don't rely too much on that guy!" Stiyl said, smoking a cigarette, "He is a collection of troubles, it's best not to involve him in our affairs."

Kamijou Touma resentfully said, "It's just for Xingye to provide information. With so many people under him, it will be more convenient than the three of us to find someone."

Tsuchimikado Motoharu also agreed: "If it's just information exchange, there is no problem. It is indeed more efficient than us."

The three made an appointment to meet again after lunch, and continued their search while waiting for information from Ling Xingye.

……

"I'm very sorry! I promise, I will take part in the activities in the afternoon and will not be absent again without reason!" Ling Xingye bowed and apologized in front of the whole class.

Hitomi Shiranui watched with a smile on the side.

"Is everything settled?" She asked in a low voice after Ling Xingye came down.

"It's okay, just a false alarm." Ling Xingye nodded, "I also told Qifan, I won't bother me in the afternoon."

As he spoke, he stopped suddenly and tilted his head to think.

"What's wrong?" Hitomi Shiranui asked hastily.

"No, nothing..." Ling Xingye frowned, "I feel like I forgot something, but I just can't remember it."

Hitomi Shiranui chuckled lightly and said, "How is it possible, you are a person with absolute memory ability, it must be an illusion."

Ling Xingye thought about it carefully, and frowned: "It's true."

He checked his memory, and there was indeed no omission.

There are only two people known to have tampered with his memory.

One is Hitomi Shiranui-Ling Xingye believes that she will not do such a thing.

The other is Shokuhou Misaki.But she also had a game in the morning, and she was under the tracking of the interview camera almost the whole time, so she had no chance to tamper with Ling Xingye's memory.

So, Ling Xingye felt relieved and seriously participated in the activities and competitions in the afternoon.

Until dusk, Kamijou Touma, who was already exhausted from walking around the streets and alleys of Academy City all day, stopped and took out his phone to check.

"Don't look," Tsuchimikado Motoharu was also a little depressed, "It seems that Lidovia must be well hidden, even Xingye can't find her."

Stile snorted coldly: "I think that guy has completely forgotten, right?"

Tsuchimikado Motoharu was suddenly stunned: "Indeed, after he captured Oriana, we did not contact each other..."

"That is to say, if I had called him in advance, maybe we had already found the target?" Kamijou Touma wailed, "It's...unfortunate!!!"

===第470九章 女仆咖啡厅开张===

In the evening, school bells rang all over Academy City.

It also means that the competition events on the first day of the Dahasei Festival have officially ended.

As a sports festival among students, the competitions of the Dahasei Festival also follow the school's daily schedule.

Of course, this does not mean the end of the "Daha Star Festival" itself.

Night is the time for all kinds of performances - exhibitions held by various schools, as well as artist groups specially invited by Academy City will take turns on the stage, adding more style to this annual grand ceremony.

The "Maid Café" of Class [-], Grade [-], Changdian Shangji Academy also officially opened.

Although it was called an "Italian Cafe", everyone, including the classmates, unconsciously called it a "Maid Cafe", and then let it go.

The coffee shop was located next to a park. After the building modules were transported, Ling Xingye and his monsters almost did it all by themselves and built it from scratch.

——This is Ling Xingye's apology for his absence this morning.

Moreover, in the third class with the theme of "psychology and memory", only Ling Xingye is good at doing this kind of heavy work.

The students didn't go too far. After the coffee shop was built, Ling Xingye was not asked to continue to be responsible for other tasks.

The interior decoration, preparation of ingredients, and attracting guests are all carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Isshiki Qianhui.

After Ling Xingye changed into the deacon uniform, he became idle for a while.

But soon, he was pushed by his classmates to sit down at a dining table in the store.

"Quick, before the official opening, let's do the final rehearsal!" Isshiki Qianhui directed enthusiastically.

Similarly, class leader Shiranui Hitomi was also pushed on the opposite seat—the two of them acted as the first customers to check the operation status of the cafe.

Coffee and desserts were served like flowing water, and there were students who were good at musical instruments playing the violin...

On the small stage to the side, Yakushiji Miyuki was also adjusting the microphone, as if preparing to sing.

"Hey, that's quite the case..." Ling Xingye couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Of course." Hitomi Shiranui rolled her eyes, "How much enthusiasm do you think everyone put into this? Even the practice of the group project has been postponed."

"That's putting the cart before the horse..." Ling Xingye said speechlessly, "But I didn't mention their qualifications."

"Although our school has a large number of students, we are not a class behind us." Hitomi Shiranui said, "But Xingye, you'd better be more serious. Today's total score, our school is a little behind Tokiwadai Middle School."

Hitomi Shiranui looked at him and said, "If you lose, all the students in the school must collectively agree to one request from Tokiwadai Middle School...and you, me, and classmate Lily must also agree to an additional request from the two Level 5 students from Tokiwadai Middle School."

Ling Xingye was surprised: "Could it be that those bets in the morning...are serious?"

"Of course, what do you think?" Hitomi Shiranui said helplessly, "The few of us present at the time were representatives of the two schools. How could the agreement reached be a joke?"

Ling Xingye sighed, with a headache: "I'm really afraid that I'm not busy enough..."
