Chapter 46: unexpected enemy
Ling Xingye turned to look at Kamijou Touma, and nodded slightly to apologize to him: "Sorry, I can't help you anymore. After all, I have my own troubles to deal with here."
"Actually, I don't mind..." Beside him, Hitomi Shiranui whispered, "But since Xingye disagrees with you..."
Ling Xingye paused, as if he was thinking about something, and then said: "Okay, then you can stay and help. But be careful to use tactful words, so as not to provoke others..."
"It's really strange to be told by Xingye like that." Hitomi Shiranui couldn't help laughing.
"I'm not angry, and I won't hurt Miss Hitomi..." Kanzaki also said something in defense.
Ling Xingye came to Misaka Mikoto's side again: "Then, I have another request..."
"Huh? What?" Misaka Mikoto looked at him in surprise.
"Take care of Hitomi, among the people present, apart from the teacher, only Hitomi does not have the ability to fight."
"Tsk, don't think of us as thugs who are ready to hurt people at any time." Steele said.
Ling Xingye ignored the flame magician's excuse and walked straight to the door. Then turned to look at everyone: "Then teacher, and everyone, I will take my leave first."
After speaking, he walked out of the apartment with sprites.
The moment Ling Xingye closed the door with his backhand, Steele suddenly picked up his rune card, and flames ignited from the card.
Misaka Mikoto let out an exclamation, an electric glow exploded on her forehead, and quickly blocked Hitomi Shiranui.
"Don't be nervous," but Hitomi Shiranui held her back, "They're not going to attack me..."
At this time, Misaka Mikoto noticed that Kanzaki Kaori also rushed to the window, carefully observing the outside.
"What... what's wrong?" Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng asked nervously.
"There are enemies coming..." Hitomi Shiranui said softly, "That's why Xingye let me stay here."
Misaka Mikoto suddenly realized that in this apartment there was herself, a level 5 superpower, two mysterious magicians, and that idiot who couldn't even help herself. From the perspective of combat power, it can be said to be quite strong and reliable.
"No wonder he just asked me to protect Senior..." Misaka Mikoto said, "But why did he go out by himself? Do he want to fight the enemy alone? Obviously everyone has a better chance of winning against the enemy together?"
"Because the one outside is that guy's enemy." Stile sneered, "There's no reason for us to help him deal with his own enemy—a rather proud man."
"However, I'm really not interested in helping him." Steele played with the flame in his hand, "For me, things here are more important."
Hitomi Shiranui didn't feel angry because of these words: "Indeed, because Xingye doesn't want to involve other innocent people in his battle. Or, he wants to protect everyone else."
"Protection?" Misaka Mikoto was stunned for a moment, and then felt that what the senior said was indeed reasonable. He met Xingye twice before, and in the end he insisted on escorting himself back to the dormitory before leaving. Obviously, he regards himself as an ordinary girl Misaka Mikoto who needs protection, not the "super electromagnetic gun" that ranks at the top of Academy City.
"Protect us?" Stiyl sneered again, "Does it look like Kanzaki and I need protection?"
"It doesn't matter about your strength," Hitomi Shiranui said, "As long as it is not an enemy who is fighting Xingye, he will protect everyone else."
Ling Xingye walked out of the rental apartment, looked up at the sky, and then looked around at the surrounding environment.
Then I crossed the street alone, walked into an alley at random, and detoured seemingly aimlessly to a clearing by the river.
The enemy has come... Ling Xingye was very clear about this from the beginning. That's why he separated from Hitomi Shiranui and chose to go out to fight alone.
But to be honest, Ling Xingye is not good at searching for enemies. This time, he was able to find the enemy's appearance. In fact, it was more because of the opponent's initiative to leak his breath.
So Ling Xingye didn't look for traces of the enemy, but just found an open space suitable as a battlefield according to his own feeling.
He believed that his enemies would come to him after all.
Sure enough, he didn't make him wait too long, and a figure walked out from the shadow of the houses on the bank.
She is obviously a beautiful woman above the standard, but she is wearing an outdated old camouflage uniform, and her gestures and gestures show a temperament that is not lady-conscious, giving people the impression that she is more like a bohemian mercenary.
The only disharmony is that she doesn't have a gun on her body.
But correspondingly, the pockets of her wide jeans were full, and the **** pack on her waist was also full.
"Kumiko..." Ling Xingye still remembered the enemy she had met last night, and also remembered what Lu Cun called her at that time.
It sounds like a Japanese-style name, but in fact, if she is willing to change her clothes and dress up, she will indeed be a very attractive oriental beauty.
Ling Xingye knew that every pocket on this woman's body was probably filled with the kind of high explosives she saw yesterday.
"It's very courageous, brother Xingye." Kumiko Yanaka smiled with interest, "I really came out alone."
"Did Lu Cun come?" Ling Xingye asked.
"He thinks you should be given some rest time for treatment, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, so sister, I acted on my own initiative. Moreover, my employer also needs rest time, after all, you beat him so badly yesterday..."
"Then just change the body?" Ling Xingye snorted coldly, "The one that appeared yesterday is his puppet, right?"
"Oh, it really turned out that you are worthy of being valued by your employer. You can't underestimate you just because you are young." Kumiko applauded and said.
"Act without authorization? What is your purpose?" Ling Xingye asked again, "There is no grudge between me and you, right? You are just a helper hired by Lu Cun, so why do you act without authorization?"
"Of course it's to help the employer solve problems." Kumiko shrugged, "It's the so-called taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others. Sister, my employer wants to deal with you, and the purpose is to seize the original magic book "Thousand Machine Changes"... I don't know What is the entanglement between you and him, and there is no result until now. So sister, I am going to take clean and tidy action!"
"Tsk, did you meddle in your own business?" Ling Xingye had a headache, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and this kind of enemy seemed even more difficult - because she would not follow a certain rule with herself like Lu Cun did. A certain degree of tacit understanding.
"Lu Cun and the organization behind him have spent three years, and there is no result until now. Why do you think you can succeed?"
"Because my sister is professional. In terms of snatching specific items..." Kumiko licked her lips, "Do you know why I am willing to spend time chatting with you here? My sister's time is very expensive."
"Have you set up an ambush?" Ling Xingye looked startled, took a step back unconsciously, and looked around vigilantly.
Sure enough, I really encountered an enemy who didn't follow the routine...
