Ling Xingye's apartment.
The owner of the apartment had already fallen into a deep sleep on the bed, Kanzaki helped him cover the quilt, while she sat on the floor leaning against the wall, looking carefully at the boy in front of her in the dark.
When we met for the first time today, we got into a big fight because of a misunderstanding, and we didn't fall behind in the face of our own offensive, and we are also good at using steel wire as a weapon...
Kanzaki recalled it carefully, and felt more and more that Ling Xingye had a certain affinity with him.
"Although he is not a magician, he is also involved in the magic world, and has his own secrets and battles."
Kanzaki chose this room as his temporary base because he saw that this room contained some "magic" elements.
After all, it is really impossible to find a residence related to "magic" in the base camp of the science side.
"Thank you after you wake up tomorrow." Kanzaki said to the boy on the bed.
It is worth mentioning that the sprite is always standing at the head of the bed, most of his body and entire face are shrouded in shadows, really like ghosts in the underworld.
Although he already knew that it was just Ling Xingye's puppet, Kanzaki could still feel a sense of vigilance from it—or simply "hostility".
Do you believe that as long as you do anything against Ling Xingye, this puppet will explode and hurt others?
It's not that the "ghost" has really become a spirit, Kanzaki knows, it's just because of Ling Xingye's subconscious vigilance, it's the defensive instinct aroused by his own serious injury.
"Instincts that can only be cultivated by experienced warriors... Xingye, what is your past like?" Kanzaki asked softly to himself.
It is undeniable that curiosity about this young man is also another reason why he chose to come here to rest.
"Well, there is a third-party force involved. At this critical juncture at the last moment, we must find out! So we must have a good talk with Xingye to find out the truth of the matter and his position!" Kanzaki Kaori nodded solemnly.
Stiyl was on duty to watch over Index tonight, so Kanzaki decided to rest first.
Of course, you still need to be vigilant—the enemies who hurt Xingye are likely to come to you.
When the time comes... just treat it as rent, and I'll help you deal with the enemies.
Kanzaki reiterated his decision once again from the bottom of his heart.
Ling Xingye lives in a one-person apartment, so there is only one single bed in the room, and it is theoretically impossible to accommodate a second person—the neighbor Kamijou Touma had to spend the night in the bathtub in order to settle down for Index. Inside—Because the interior space is limited, there is not even room for a sofa.
Kanzaki Kaori didn't care about these things, and sat on the floor leaning against the wall very rigidly, holding the Qitian Qidao across his arms and closing his eyes to sleep.
In contrast, the dormitory of Tokiwadai Middle School is much more spacious, even for two people, it is more than enough, and there is no sense of crowdedness.
Because they don't have many students, they are all veritable daughters, so they are more fair than most schools.
For example, in the long-term Computer Science Park, dormitories are allocated to a certain extent according to the students' ability level and academic performance.
Hitomi Shiranui is a level 4 capable person with excellent character and learning, so she owns a luxurious independent apartment.
Back to Tokiwadai Middle School, in principle, students of the same grade are assigned to a dormitory, but there are always some exceptions due to the number of people.
For example, Misaka Mikoto's roommate is Shirai Kuroko, a first-year school girl a year younger than her—a pervert with sexual orientation problems.
Shirai Kuroko adores "Sister" Misaka Mikoto very much, and her fanaticism even reaches the point where it can almost be said to be pathological. After all, it's definitely not for normal people to think of ways to give love potions to Misaka Mikoto who is the same **** all day long, right?
Needless to say about appearance, although she is not yet fully developed, she can be regarded as a beautiful girl. His academic performance is also quite excellent—otherwise, he would not be able to enter Tokiwadai Middle School; of course, not to mention his ability, the level 4 ability "space movement", the strongest ability user besides the two level 5 superpowers.
Moreover, he is also a member of the 117th Branch of the Disciplinary Committee.
Again, except when facing Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko is pretty much perfect.
That's why Misaka Mikoto agreed to endure her harassment and live in a dormitory with her.
More importantly, Shirai Heizi's ability can help him avoid the restrictions of dormitory access control.
This has provided great convenience for Misaka Mikoto, who has recently started to like to travel late at night.
Heizi Shirai took me back to the dormitory today too... Would you like to buy her some presents as a thank you?
Misaka Mikoto lay on the bed thinking: By the way, what does Heizi like? No, no, it should be said that as long as I give it to her, she will keep it well no matter what it is, right? Ha ha, that's why I don't want to give her a gift! Heizi this guy!
But let’s get ready, I’ve been bothering her to pick me up lately, and I may have to trouble her often in the future. Misaka Mikoto turned to look at the junior on the other bed.
"When she's asleep, she's a pretty pretty girl. It would be great if she's quiet like this at ordinary times." Sighing helplessly, Misaka Mikoto covered herself in the quilt, and then took out her phone.
Although it is very late, I still send an email to ask him, I always feel that that guy has something to hide from me.
Recalling the feeling when she was with Ling Xingye today, Misaka Mikoto could clearly feel a sense of pressure and tension.
Although Ling Xingye himself tried his best to behave normally, in the eyes of Misaka Mikoto, who could feel the bioelectric field, that boy was always in a sense of abnormal excitement and tension.
It's like an athlete about to enter a big competition or... a soldier about to go to the battlefield.
This made Misaka Mikoto very concerned, and judging from the fact that he always insisted on sending himself to the dormitory before leaving, it was almost certain that some kind of crisis was imminent!
That's why Misaka Mikoto kept tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
"It was the same a few days ago, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com was surrounded by a fighting atmosphere, like a sharp sword ready to be unsheathed at any time." Misaka Mikoto muttered, "Really, even with a top combat power like me I don't know how to use…”
Because I don't know if the battle over Ling Xingye is over, and I don't want to wake up the sleeping Heizi, so Misaka Mikoto decided to send an email to ask.
"Good night, Xingye, what happened after we parted today? Are you okay? I'm sorry to bother you, but please reply in time if you can...Misaka Mikoto~" After reading the email she edited from the beginning, Misaka Mikoto frowned slightly, "Is it a little too frivolous? And if nothing happened, will it disturb his rest? But if you are a high school student, you should go to bed already..."
So troublesome, what the **** am I worrying about!
Feeling a burst of impatience, Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth and hit the send button.
Then she started staring at the phone screen in a daze.
Then I don't know when I fell asleep...
In Ling Xingye's room, Kanzaki also closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. But it was clear from the hand on the handle that she wasn't really asleep. Just close your eyes and rest.
Tick... The sound of the second hand beating can be clearly heard, and the quiet and serene atmosphere in the room is suddenly tense, as if some kind of event is about to occur, breaking this beautiful tranquility—— Kanzaki's instinct as a swordsman made a move for her one second in advance. warning.
The slender jade fingers suddenly clenched the handle of the knife. Although the posture of kneeling was still maintained, the muscles of the whole body had quietly tensed up, entering a ready-to-fight state where he could draw the knife and slash at any time.
A second later, there was a low vibration first, and then a regular and old-fashioned electric bell.
Jingle jingle jingle!
