Pass through the high-end and luxurious kitchen, enter a downward staircase again, and come to the second basement.

It was originally a row of underground warehouses, but now it has been renovated and transformed into a vault and several secret rooms.

The safe house agreed between Ling Xingye and Tu Fanghu is one of them.

There are also guards at the entrance of this floor. These people are genuine "elites". Even if they are placed in the real gangster groups outside, they are also ace fighters of the "Red Stick" level.

It can only be said that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. There are nearly two million students in Academy City, and it is not surprising that there are some guys who can fight.

Although Ling Xingye didn't know any of them, the guards all recognized him, and they all stood up and bowed in salute.

There are various titles such as "Brother Ling", "Big Brother", and "Boss".

At this time, Ling Xingye didn't have the energy to entangle with them about the address, so he walked straight on.

At the door of the innermost room on the second basement floor, Ling Xingye stopped.

Then, the door was actively opened from the inside.

It was Yao Yuan who opened the door.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, and that Tu Fanghu, who was lying on the sofa in the room, didn't look injured, Ling Xingye finally felt relieved.

After everyone entered the room, Ling Xingye settled Misaka 10001, just like Hijikata, collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move.

"Xingye, it's great that you're okay! Are you injured? Thank you so much for coming to save me!" Yuan Shanyao said incoherently, and kept bowing to thank him.

"Before you came, she has been thanking and apologizing." Mu Fanghu said with some headaches.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your rest..." Yuan Shanyao bowed again.

"I didn't mean to blame you..." Tu Fanghu said helplessly, "Forget it... After all, I have to thank this big sister for her help this time, otherwise we might really not be able to come back."

Baiyin Yao was observing the interior decoration—the safe house was arranged like an ordinary living room, full of reassuring comfort.

"It's okay, you're welcome." She waved her hand, "Those guys were my prey in the first place."

Tu Fanghu suddenly approached Ling Xingye and pointed to the girl lying on the small bed next to him: "What's going on? Why did you bring the third one here? And is she injured? Or is she sick?"

"She's not Misaka Mikoto," Ling Xingye shook her head, "I don't know the specific situation, so I don't dare to send her to the hospital easily."

Ling Xingye took out his mobile phone: "I'll ask the real Misaka before I talk about it."

Saying that, he dialed Misaka Mikoto's number.

"I hope I won't disturb her..." Seeing the time displayed on the phone, it was already past zero, "Would it be impolite for you to call someone over at this time?"

Hijikata shrugged: "Come on, your relationship has reached the point where you can talk late at night, so you don't need to care about these details, right?"

"When I didn't say it... I regret asking you." Ling Xingye shook his head.

At this time, the phone was connected.

"Good evening, excuse me...can I ask you to come out, Misaka Mikoto."

After a short call, Ling Xingye put down the phone: "She said she would be there soon."

The guardian of the soil cast a look of "I'll just say it".

Haruka Toyama found the first-aid kit from the room: "Let me help Misaka-san cool down first, she looks like she has a fever."

"Two boys turn around, no peeking!" Yuan Shanyao had a rare moment of hardening.

Bai Yinyao said suddenly: "If you want to find a reliable doctor, I have a recommendation..."

…

Ling Xing was lying on the sofa in the middle of the night, drowsy.

The videophone placed at the sudden door rang.

Ling Xingye and Tufang Hu woke up instantly—according to the rules, only those above the emergency situation would "disturb" them.

Ling Xingye stepped forward to answer.

"It's not good, Brother Ling!" It was a guard above who spoke, and the loud music from the bar could be heard in the background, "The eldest sister is here!"

"Huh? What the hell?" Ling Xingye blurted out huge doubts.

"It's Big Sister Shiranui!" The other party lowered his voice, pretending to be whispering, "We can't stop Big Sister, but we didn't reveal the fact that Big Brother brought the girl here. You should prepare early!"

"..." Ling Xingye couldn't help being speechless, feeling ridiculous for his tense guard just now, and continued to lie on the sofa to sleep if he knew it earlier, "I see, you don't need to worry about these things..."

Soon, Hitomi Shiranui rushed into the safe house.

As soon as he came in, he hugged Yuan Shanyao: "Ayao, are you okay? Are you injured? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"Squad leader, I'm fine...really!" Toyama Haruka seemed startled by Hitomi Shiranui's excitement, "Sorry for worrying you."

Hitomi Shiranui let her go, and said: "I went to the hospital to see Mei Lilu in the afternoon, and she is still unconscious, but the most powerful doctors are already treating her, so don't worry."

"That's right..." Yuan Shanyao suddenly became depressed, "I'm really useless, I caused Xiaomei...and I haven't been able to find a way to lift the curse..."

To this point, Toyama Haruka didn't go into too much detail - he obediently followed the kidnapper, a large part of the reason was to obtain the method to relieve the curse and save Merylu - if he said this, he was too sorry for the risk of Xingye and Hijikata. Saved from death.

"Curse?" Baiyin Yao interrupted and asked, "Is that what he said?"

"Yes, the leader of the kidnapping gang said it himself, it's a curse!"

"That friend of yours," Baiyin Yao asked, "did you hurt the puppets—the robots—did you see them bleed? A silver-white liquid like mercury?"

"Yes!" Yuan Shanyao nodded affirmatively.

Baiyin Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you don't have to worry—I can lift that curse."

"Really? Thank you!" Yuan Shanyao excitedly rushed up to hold her hands, "I don't know what to call you~lightnovelpub.net~ I really appreciate you!"

"Ah, just call me Yao." Baiyin Yao said, "I will go to the hospital tomorrow, so don't worry."

At this time, Shiranui Tong came to Ling Xingye and looked him up and down carefully.

Ling Xingye asked with a guilty conscience: "What's wrong? The matter of Yuan Shanyao has been resolved, there is nothing to worry about..."

"Are you injured a lot? Does it hurt?" The girl's bright eyes showed heartache.

There were no wounds on Ling Xingye's body, but the broken clothes, dusty body, and unconcealable tiredness in his expression were still accurately captured by the girl.

Shiranui Tong was very familiar with Ling Xingye, and these details could not be hidden from her eyes.

"Don't worry," Ling Xingye said, "I'm fine, aren't I?"

"Don't push yourself too hard..." Shiranui Hitomi looked at him with infinite tenderness, "Also, can you explain what happened to the silver-haired big sister behind you?"
