Academy City's Puppet Master

In fact, Saten Ruiko didn't want to put her friend in danger because of this kind of thing.

"But now is not the time for me to be willful!"

——Frenda is also my friend, and I can't let my friend be in danger because of my emotions and face problems.

In comparison, Misaka Mikoto is undoubtedly stronger, Saten Ruiko believes that she will have no problems!

"...Besides, Misaka-san must be happy to come and help, right?" Saten Ruiko looked at the phone screen and muttered to herself.

"Damn it! I'm so bad!" In the end, she lowered her hand weakly, "It's not a matter of whether Misaka-san is strong or not. You really can't put another friend in danger just for the sake of one friend."

"In the final analysis, am I too weak?" Saten Reniko laughed at herself, while scanning the surroundings, trying to find suitable props to be used as puppets.

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded overhead, and the glass curtain wall on the third floor of the shopping mall shattered, pouring down like heavy rain.

"ah!"

Just looking up, Saten Saten only saw a piece of crystal rain.

She squatted in the corner, but there was no way to escape, she could only exclaim and crouch with her head in her arms.

Just when the shards of glass were about to hit the ground...

"Flame Fairy."

Suddenly there was a call ahead.

Saten Saten only felt a gust of hot wind blowing over her head, as if a fire had ignited in the sky.

She closed her eyes and curled up even tighter.

But after a few seconds, no glass shards fell, and there was no pain at all.

"Huh?" She raised her head slightly and carefully opened one eye.

I saw a man and a woman standing not far in front of her.

There are piles of dark red, semi-molten glass on the ground nearby.

Saten Saten raised her head and looked up.

There was a scorched black scar on the outer wall of the shopping mall, which was also covered with half-melted glass, and even the wall itself was melted due to the high temperature.

Reminiscent of the gust of hot wind she felt just now, Saten Ruiko turned her eyes back to the two in front of her again.

It was obviously this woman who shot.

Saten Ruiko, who was born in Academy City, easily accepted the scene in front of her.

——This woman should be a flame user with the ability to generate fire, right?

Although the age seems a bit too old, let's think so for the time being.

When the shards of glass fell just now, it was this woman who released the flames, melting them and blowing them away.

——There is no one else around here, so their actions are undoubtedly to save themselves.

Saten Ruiko got up quickly and thanked them.

The woman who shot just now was tall and slender, and her behavior was elegant and calm.The only pity is that she wears a pale mask on her face, so her true face cannot be seen.

Saten Saten also had no way of judging the age of this masked woman called "Flame Fairy".

However, the man behind her didn't cover his face. He looked like he was in his 20s and had entered the society and started working.

He seemed to have just come in from the outside, wearing a windbreaker, a top hat, and carrying a suitcase in his hand, with a dusty look.

Saten Reniko didn't have time to think about the identity and purpose of these two people, so she ran out a few steps and turned to look at the situation on the third floor of the shopping mall.

"Don't worry, the battle is over." The masked woman said, "Your enemy is there."

Following the direction of her finger, Saten Leiko noticed that in the flower garden next to her, a girl was lying in a pool of blood.

It was the assailant I saw just now.He was attacked by a bomb and fell from a height, and he seemed to be seriously injured.

"Don't worry, your companion has already left." Yan Ji continued.

"Thank you very much!" Saten Ruiko bowed deeply.

"You are good at drawing silk," the man said suddenly, "Who did you learn from?"

String play?

Saten Ruiko noticed the key words.She remembered that only Ling Xingye and Shiranui Tong could seriously call "operating puppet" "sitting play".

and so……

She couldn't help but carefully looked at the masked woman in front of her and the suitcase in the man's hand again, and suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu for no reason.

"Puppet?" she said tentatively.

Yan Ji gasped in surprise, and quickly lowered her head to check her attire.

The man immediately realized: "It was Chang Ye...Xing Ye taught it!"

"Who are you?" Saten Saten asked back.

"Ling Changyun, his elder brother." The man said.

"Oh, so that's the case, no wonder..." Saten Leizi immediately felt relieved, since she is Master Xingye's senior brother, she must not be a bad person.

But suddenly I heard Ling Changyun say: "Unexpectedly, Xingye also has a disciple!"

The tone was full of sarcasm and indifference.

"Is there any problem with this? Master, he..."

"Master?" Ling Changyun sneered, "My ineffective little brother first accepted the blood inheritance from outside, and now he joins the underworld. If the master is still alive, he must be expelled from the sect!"

"Uh..." Saten Reniko resentfully said, "Is it so severe?"

"Even if the master is gone, as the elder brother, I will teach him a lesson!" Ling Changyun asked, "Where is Xingye now?"

Saten Ruiko shook her head again and again: "I don't know! Really! He's a high school student, and we're not even in the same school district, so..."

"Ah, I'm going to find my friend, she looks like she was seriously injured just now..." Saying that, Saten Renko ran away in panic.

Ling Changyun watched her leave without stopping her.

"Let's go, Flame Fairy."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a regular knocking sound.

Duh, duh, duh...

Along the sidewalk, a man in a brown jacket and sunglasses came walking with a cane.

Ling Changyun strayed away, only to find that the other party seemed to have slightly adjusted his direction accordingly.It was as if the line of sight behind the pair of sunglasses had locked him firmly.

This is not an illusion—Ling Changyun realized that this "blind man" came after him!

Ling Changyun has been locked by his Qi machine.

The earth guard stopped three meters away from Ling Changyun.

"You just said... what do you want to do to Xingye?" Tufanghu opened his eyes and looked at Xingye.

Ling Changyun suddenly laughed, but he didn't bother to answer Tu Fanghu's question.

He straightened his top hat, turned and left with his suitcase.

Tu Fanghu was enraged and was about to draw out the sword in the stick.

"Yan Ji, I'll leave it to you." Ling Changyun only ordered softly.

As soon as the words fell, the blazing fire lit up the entire street!

Ling Changyun didn't turn his head, and walked forward with the brim of his hat lowered.

===Chapter 530 IX Alliance with Kakine Teito===

One minute later, amidst the alarm bells ringing all over the street, Yan Ji walked towards the flower garden.

The first floor of the shopping mall in front of her just now has become a ruin, the gate is completely destroyed, and the inside is even more messy, with rubble and rubble everywhere, even more miserable than the scene on the third floor.

But the culprit who caused all this was completely unconscious, turned around and walked away.

Yan Ji came to the flower garden, bent down and reached out to pick up a bow and arrow to hunt the tiger.

"The damage is serious." Yan Ji commented after briefly checking her injuries.

She seemed to have been stuffed with a bomb directly into her mouth. At this time, her whole jaw was bloody and bloody, and even half of her face was completely unrecognizable.

Such a tragic injury was bleeding profusely. I believe she would lose too much blood and die in a short time.

Yan Ji stretched out a finger, a ray of flame emerged from the fingertip, and pressed directly to the wound of the bow and arrow hunting tiger.

After a simple and rough operation to stop the bleeding, Yan Ji left with the girl who had already fainted.

But instead of meeting Ling Changyun, he went in the opposite direction...

After a few more minutes, the fire brigade and security forces finally arrived.

There was also a group of strong men wearing the armbands of the "Law Enforcement Team" who arrived together. Everyone was wearing wooden knives—if they changed their clothes, they might be regarded as an ancient group of warriors.

They are kendo masters under Hijikata, the most capable team in the "law enforcement team" in theory, formed by Hijikata, and they can be regarded as his personal guard.

They rushed into the blockade anxiously, regardless of the obstruction of the on-site security forces, they went straight into the mall to search for the whereabouts of the earthwork guards.

However, before they started their search, they saw commotion in the deepest corner of the hall on the first floor.

The damage was the worst there, and the ruins and debris blown by the strong wind finally piled up to form a hill.

When people rushed over, they saw the pile of rubble shaking.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a sharp blade cut out from among the rubble.

"Here!" someone yelled.

But instead of running to rescue them, the members of the law enforcement team took a few steps back together.

Then, there was a bang, and the mountains of rubble and rubble were pushed away by the violent airflow, and the surrounding scenery was familiar.

Level3's powerful ability "wave flow disturbance" is activated, manipulating the airflow to replace the visual perception of everything in the world.
