The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 406: wake

Ling Xingye continued to guard the ward, waiting for Hitomi Shiranui to wake up.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door.

Let the sprites go to open the door, and find that the person standing at the door is actually Saten Ruiko.

The energetic girl was injured in the "Hundred Ghosts of the Night" incident in the morning and was transferred to the hospital for treatment.

But now it seems that there is nothing serious, just a few bandages on the cheeks and arms.

"Good afternoon, Senior Xingye." Seeing the puppet that opened the door, Saten Renko was also startled, and then recognized it. Seeing Hitomi Shiranui on the hospital bed, and Ling Xingye's tightly holding hands with her, she Subconsciously lowered his voice, "I saw Senior Shiranui's nameplate at the door, so I came here to take a look, didn't I disturb you?"

"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Ling Xingye nodded.

Seeing that Ling Xingye didn't care, Saten Leizi went into the ward and closed the door.

She noticed that Ling Xingye and Puppet Yaoyao were also in tatters, as if they had just escaped from a battlefield or a disaster area. Combined with the various things that happened today, and the extremely busy situation in the hospital... I also know that Ling Xingye and Misaka Mikoto must be fighting with someone again.

"It seems...a lot of things happened today." Saten Ruiko said as if talking to herself.

"Yeah, a lot of things happened." Ling Xingye agreed sympathetically, "It's really unbearable."

Saten Leizi looked at Ling Xingye secretly, and asked cautiously: "Can you tell me, what happened? It feels like everyone is busy with something, running around... Finally came to the hospital, and left in a hurry It's..."

"Everyone knows something and is working hard for it, but I don't know anything..." Saten Reniko said with a blank expression, "Obviously they are good friends? Why are I the only one excluded? I really don't Such a powerful super power, but Uiharu Shiri is the same..."

In the end, Saten Leizi completely turned into a low-pitched complaint to herself, as if she didn't expect to get an answer from Ling Xingye.

Ling Xingye also heard that this girl felt a little awkward because she felt "excluded" by her friends.

But he has never been good at comforting and persuading others, and now his heart is all on Hitomi Shiranui, and he has no time to take care of the emotions of an adolescent girl.

So after hesitating for a moment, Ling Xingye replied: "Chuchun Shili and Shirai Heizi are disciplinary committee members, right? So many things are their responsibilities, and I don't think they mean to reject you."

"As for what happened..." Ling Xingye paused for a moment, "My side is to rescue Hitomi Shiranui who was kidnapped. As for the Disciplinary Committee, I don't know... Maybe they are chasing down the 'Hyakki Yako' event?"

While speaking, Ling Xingye never took his eyes off the **** the hospital bed.

Saten Reniko sighed silently: "Senior Shiranui is really happy."

Realizing that she is not fit to stay any longer, Saten Ruiko got up to leave as well.

After leaving the ward, Saten Ruiko went through the discharge procedures. Her injuries were not serious in the first place, and she was sent to the hospital for a comprehensive examination just in case.

When I walked out of the hospital, it was the hottest time in the afternoon.

Saten Saten squinted her eyes and looked around—if she had been discharged from the hospital at any other time, Uiharu Shiri and the others would have come to greet her, right? There will even be a party to celebrate leaving the hospital or something...

But now, it seems that he can only walk back alone under the scorching sun.

"I feel... a little lonely."

In the ward, Hitomi Shiranui wakes up leisurely.

"Starry night? Why do you..." As if suddenly remembering something, Shiranui Tong's expression suddenly became tense, "Be careful, Hua Twenty-one has arrived..."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Xingye pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Hitomi Shiranui was a little confused, and his brain stopped functioning for a while, "...relax a little, I can't breathe..."

It felt like being held tightly by an iron ring, and it was almost impossible to move. Hitomi Shiranui could only hit Ling Xingye's weakness with his fist in a small area to make him relax.

"..." Ling Xingye didn't reply, but he did withdraw most of the strength in his arm.

"Xingye, what's wrong with you?" Hitomi Shiranui asked, in her memory, Ling Xingye rarely showed such impulsive emotions.

"Huh? This is..." Shiranui Hitomi realized that the environment she was in was not her own room, "I'm in a hospital ward?"

Then, she closed her eyes and checked her biological clock: "I fell asleep for nearly twenty hours?"

Ling Xingye nodded and recounted the day's events.

"Do you have any impression of what happened when you were kidnapped by the crow?" Finally, Ling Xingye asked.

Ordinarily Shiranui Hitomi has been in a deep sleep state, so it is impossible to know what happened.

but…

"Let go first, let me remember it." Shiranui Tong patted Ling Xingye's arm, "This posture is very tiring."

Indeed, Hitomi Shiranui was suddenly pulled into Ling Xingye's embrace, and her body was in an awkward position.

Ling Xingye also noticed this, but he didn't let go, but moved his body to sit on the bed, letting Hitomi Shiranui lean on him.

The girl struggled a few times, but she didn't insist on breaking free from his embrace. Instead, she seemed to find a more comfortable position for herself.

"Let me remember it well..." Shiranui Tong lowered his head and closed his eyes, not wanting Ling Xingye to see his fever-like face.

Hitomi Shiranui is a powerful user of level 4 - "memory construction". So even if she fell asleep, as long as she wanted to, she could still recall what happened around her during this period.

After all, the only thing that is really closed off during sleep is the vision.

"However, after all, I lost consciousness for a while, and I don't rely on visual information...so I don't have many clues to provide." Hitomi Shiranui said.

"Just do your best~lightnovelpub.net~ Ling Xingye nodded, "I mainly want to confirm what the crow's purpose in kidnapping you is, and whether the throne has left you with any sequelae. "

Hitomi Shiranui retrieved her own memory in her mind, frowning a little.

"The crow...it seems to have connected my brain into a network system."

"What do you mean?" Ling Xingye asked, "Is it something like Misaka Network?"

"No, it's a network based on the AIM diffusion force field, with the human brain as the node." Shiranui Hitomi became serious, "It just borrows the underlying basic functions of the brain, but bypasses my conscious area, so I don't know What exactly does it want to do!"

Hitomi Shiranui paused, and continued, "But I remember the name of the system, because the crow mentioned it more than once."

"what is it call?"

"'Fantasy Master 2.0'."
