The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 805: Saten Ruiko's Strangeness

In the No. 177 Branch of the Disciplinary Committee, Saten Saten Saten sat on the sofa for guests, staring at the phone screen in a daze.

Moments later, Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto also came to the club room.

Almost at the same time, Gufa Meiwei also came in with snacks. She prepared milk and chiffon cake, and then entertained everyone with a tea party.

"By the way," Misaka Mikoto opened the topic first, "There seems to be a level 5 alert in the morning?"

Shirai Heizi and Gufa Meiwei looked at each other, then nodded: "That's right, it's the eighth."

The so-called "level 5 alert" is a term spontaneously agreed by people in the "mail sending and receiving" system. Specifically, it refers to events where level 5 fights and causes large-scale impact.

In fact, the official did not explicitly state this kind of alert, but because of the large number of registered users of "mail sending and receiving", the disciplinary committee and the security forces also took advantage of the trend to use this term.

Because she is also one of the targets of the "alert", Misaka Mikoto is very concerned about this.

For the same reason, Gufa Meiwei did not intend to conceal information from her.

After listening to the brief description of the case in the disciplinary committee's internal documents, Misaka Mikoto said in surprise: "Senior Shiranui... so you are so powerful."

Misaka Mikoto was not surprised by her strength because she had dealt with Lily before; on the contrary, Hitomi Shiranui, the "Queen of Memory", did not expect such an amazing performance.

Carefully reviewing the entire battle, the role of Lily Mezzas cannot be ignored; but strictly speaking, Hitomi Shiranui actually played a key role in the process of defeating the two enemies!

"So this kind of thing happened! I didn't even know about it." Chuchun Shili complained, "Obviously I'm also a discipline committee member!"

"Stop complaining," said Shirai Heizi, "Only the person in charge of the branch can get the information, and I also got the information through my elder sister."

Because Misaka Mikoto has very high authority in the "Mail Sending and Receiving" and "Fantasy Hand 2.0" systems.

In terms of intelligence channels, Misaka Mikoto is no worse than others.

"Speaking of information," Fubo Meiwei suddenly looked at Saten Renko, "Saten-san also has his own channel, right? Are there any popular urban legends recently?"

When the name was called, Saten Renko finally came to his senses, tilted his head and thought for a while: "No, it seems to be the same as before."

Several other people looked at each other in blank dismay, and they responded so coldly when they mentioned urban legends—this is not Saten Ruiko's character!

"Saten-san, are you alright?" Misaka Mikoto asked concerned, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm fine..." Saten Ruiko said hastily.

But she also seemed to feel that her words were not convincing, touched her cheek, and it was not difficult to imagine how bad her face was.

"Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom!" Saten Ruiko got up quickly.

She was going to touch up her makeup to conceal her pale face.

"Hey, what's wrong with Saten-san?" Heizi Shirai hurriedly asked while the person concerned was away.

"I don't know, I've been listless all day." Chuchun Shili also looked distressed, "Yesterday was fine."

"Did you suffer a setback in your acting career?" Shirai Heizi guessed, "She didn't bring the puppet here today."

"I brought it." Misaka Mikoto pointed to the bag left beside the sofa.

Chuchun Shili opened it bluntly: "Hey, really! Really, just now I said I forgot to bring it!"

"Why did it become this color," Shirai Kuroko said, "It's newly painted?"

"Okay, put it back quickly." Misaka Mikoto said, "Don't just look through other people's things."

"However," Shirai Heizi was suspicious, "this is obviously abnormal..."

"Ah, of course it's not normal." Misaka Mikoto closed one eye and glanced at the silver puppet, "Of course I know."

In front of the mirror in the bathroom, Saten Reiko rolled up her sleeves, and saw the silver pattern on her wrist extending upwards along the artery.

Not caring too much, she pulled off the collar again, and saw in the mirror that the silver pattern was gradually approaching her heart.

Any more and it would really invade the heart!

Saten Renko didn't know what would happen to her at that time, and Horns didn't mention it at all.

But she dared not gamble, nor violate its meaning.

Holding the phone and hesitated for a while, Saten Leizi finally chose not to tell Ling Xingye.

"Anyway, it's almost time. Let's go to the appointment first!" Saten Ruiko tidied up her clothes and washed her face with cold water.

In fact, she also had a glimmer of hope in her heart—maybe Horns could really give her a puppet, so that she could gain great strength from now on!

Back among the friends, Saten Ruiko said goodbye to everyone apologetically and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, everyone didn't ask any more questions, and even Uiharu Shiri said "goodbye" simply.

I can't help but feel a little disappointed, but more importantly, I don't need to continue to fabricate lies to deceive my friends.

Taking her schoolbag and handbag, Saten Ruiko walked towards the door.

"Teniko!" Behind her, Misaka Mikoto suddenly stopped her, "We are friends, no matter what happens, we will help you."

"Yeah!" Saten Ruiko regained her usual vitality, "I'm leaving!"

The few people who stayed in the department took up their teacups and pretended to drink.

After a while, Misaka Mikoto opened her eyes: "It's gone far!"

Shirai Heizi stood up abruptly, and came to his elder sister: "Let's go!"

Chuchun Shili returned to her desk: "I'm here to support... Well, I have controlled the surveillance cameras along the way."

In an instant, the monitoring screen of Saten Ruiko was displayed on the computer screen.

Saten Ruiko took Misaka Mikoto with her and disappeared into the room.

"Do you want to do this? Saten-san is your friend." Gufa Meiwei sat in his original position without moving.

"It's because we are friends that we care about it!" Chuchun Shili said, "And didn't Senior Gufa also acquiesce in our actions?"

Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko followed Saten Reiko far away, with Uiharu Shiri's support, so there was no need to worry about losing track.

"My lord, is Saten-san really in danger?" Shirai Heizi asked.

Although she also had doubts, she didn't expect her elder sister to be more decisive and directly proposed the "following plan".

"The silver puppet is covered with a strange layer of metal," Misaka Mikoto explained, "and I also found similar electromagnetic waves on Saten-san—and there is a feeling of déjà vu, which is really interesting."

In fact, Misaka Mikoto has already recalled ~lightnovelpub.net~ that very automatic fluctuation of the "suspected liquid" in the puppet's body.

So on the way to follow, she has already notified Ling Xingye.

"Ah, we've entered the cafe!" Uiharu Shiri's voice came from the earphones.

When they came near the coffee shop, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko walked in as if nothing had happened, and quietly went to the booth near Saten Renko to hide.

A moment later, a young man entered the store and went straight to Saten Ruiko's place.

The two exchanged a few words briefly, then moved to the box upstairs.

"Huh?" Chuharu Shiri's voice seemed very shaken, "Could it be that Saten-san is dating?"

"How is it possible," Shirai Heizi said, "That man is obviously an adult... Ah, wouldn't this be even worse!"

"No," Misaka Mikoto stood up suddenly, "it's worse than that, because it's not human at all!"
