Fighting you is like being in jail.

Leng Chang: Don't worry, you will soon become one of us, forming an unbreakable alliance!

Yukari Yakumo: What's fun in Academy City?

Kurumi: Technology? Game?

Yukari Yakumo: That's fine then. I'd rather stay home and have Ran take care of me and be a useless person.

Kurumi: Uh...

Rem: How do you guys manage to say you're trash so confidently?

Yukari Yakumo: What's wrong with that? There are so many useless people in the world, why can't there be one more like me?

Leng Chang: Don't let Lao Ba's seemingly useless appearance fool you. She was actually the mastermind behind the scenes, the ultimate boss who never showed herself.

Black and White Hill: However, it encountered muscles, hilarious JPG.

Yukari Yakumo: NO! You bunch of idiots! Don't remind me of that scene! (JPG of her jumping three and a half times and landing face down)

Leng Chang: Happy!

Chapter 233 Shut up! Take my bank card now!

After the mockery in the group ended, Leng Chang began his investigation.

Tokiwadai Junior High School, main gate.

Leng Chang watched the students walk out of the school gate, his face filled with emotion, and squatted on the roadside railing waiting for Kurumi.

The young and beautiful junior high school students around him all kept their distance from Leng Changfu's bad behavior, and even pointed and whispered about him.

I don't know why, but as long as I don't care about my image, it feels strangely satisfying to be pointed at and talked about by all sorts of pretty junior high school girls.

"I have to say, I felt so out of place in the world of the savior, a high school student."

Leng Chang casually took a sip of the milk tea in his hand and made a comment, then immediately stood on the railing as if afraid others wouldn't see it.

Just then, the middle school student who caught everyone's attention appeared: Misaki Shokuhou.

Watching her walk down the street surrounded by her subordinates from afar, I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.

Then, as if she knew something, Misaka Mikoto paced back and forth in front of Leng Chang, then walked into an empty alley, and soon reappeared.

His gaze kept glancing at Leng Chang.

It's obviously a sting operation, enticing troublemakers to cause problems.

Unfortunately, Leng Chang had already seen through everything and didn't care about her actions at all, focusing on waiting for Kurumi.

Finally, Misaka Mikoto couldn't take it anymore and shouted at Leng Chang:

"Don't wait any longer! Kurumi won't be coming out!"

"What?! San San actually stood me up!"

Leng Chang instantly understood everything; Misaka Mikoto must have been invited by Kurumi.

"Why are you calling me that so intimately? She'd never like a stalker like you!"

Pointing his finger at Leng Chang, his eyes gleaming with certainty and confidence, he spoke loudly without any regard for propriety.

"what?"

Leng Chang blinked in bewilderment, looking at Misaka Mikoto with some confusion.

"Isn't that right?"

"Of course not. Why would I bother following people for no reason?"

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Wait for Kurumi."

"Or maybe you're not a stalker!"

Where did I follow you?

"You're not going to try to deny it anymore! I know what you're doing! You've even gone into the dormitory library to investigate Kurumi!"

"..."

Leng Chang subtly raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was amiss.

So he calmly asked, "Did Kurumi send you?"

"Ah, this...no."

Misaka Mikoto awkwardly scratched her cheek, looking guilty.

"I think you've misunderstood. Kurumi and I are good partners, and I'm here to help out."

Leng Chang said calmly.

"Help? Help with what?"

Misaka Mikoto immediately became curious, her eyes filled with anticipation and gossip, just like a cat's.

Just then, Kurumi walked out of the school and approached Misaka Mikoto with curiosity.

"Mikoto, what are you doing? Who is this?"

"Huh? You don't recognize him?"

Misaka Mikoto paused, looking at Kurumi with a puzzled expression.

Kurumi tilted her head and asked in confusion, "I don't know him. Isn't he your friend?"

"Alright! You're definitely up to something! Kurumi clearly doesn't know you, yet you claim to be her ally!"

Misaka Mikoto's expression immediately turned serious, and she stared at Leng Chang with great vigilance.

Before she could react further, Leng Chang calmly said:

"I am Leng Chang."

Kurumi paused, then immediately realized what was happening, nodded, and asked, "It's you. So, what leads do you have now?"

"You really know him?"

Misaka Mikoto's eyes widened in surprise.

Kurumi nodded and explained, "He's an online friend who helped me investigate something before."

After Misaka Mikoto nodded, Leng Chang said seriously, "That's all the clues we have. There's no new information for now."

He then jumped down from the railing and stood on the sidewalk.

"Then what brings you here?"

Kurumi looked on curiously.

"Get your eyes checked."

As soon as Leng Chang finished speaking, Misaka Mikoto asked worriedly, "Kurumi, what happened to your eyes?"

"It's nothing, just the same old problem."

Kurumi didn't say much and kept the problem hidden.

"Have you eaten? How about we grab a bite? It's on me!"

Leng Chang flashed a bright smile and casually held up his black bank card, clearly indicating that he could eat whatever he wanted.

"Let's go!"

Kurumi didn't hesitate; the thought of Leng Chang's unlimited bank card filled her with anticipation.

"I'm not going."

Misaka Mikoto waved and turned to leave.

"it is good."

Kurumi nodded.

……

A moment later, in the restaurant.

Kurumi happily ate her snacks, her cheeks puffed out, one hand cupping her face, the other holding a fork, her eyes half-closed in satisfaction.

"It's so delicious, I've been wanting to eat it for ages! It's a pity I don't have much pocket money."

"You're a Level 5 player who gets a monthly allowance of hundreds of thousands, and you're telling me you don't have any pocket money?"

"Everything in Academy City is a designer brand. A single bracelet costs tens of thousands of yen, and you can never have enough."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Leng Chang immediately recalled that a long time ago, the official A Certain Magical Index website released jewelry and clothing featuring Misaka Mikoto, with a phone charm costing over 60,000 yen.

"Indeed...it's quite expensive..."

I couldn't help but shed tears of poverty, especially since my little workshop had been raided.

At this moment, Kurumi put down her cutlery with satisfaction and looked at Leng Chang curiously, asking, "How do I check?"

"I'll just take a look."

Leng Chang's eyes instantly turned gold, and a tremendous sense of oppression made Kurumi straighten up, but she quickly adapted to the feeling.

The next second, Leng Chang locked onto a surge of energy, a feeling of something compressed to its extreme.

As if sensing the cold, abnormal force, the energy immediately began to tremble violently upon realizing something.

A pure white cube image appeared in my mind.

Then you can't see anything anymore.

This situation made Leng Chang frown, sensing that this cube was not simple.

"What was discovered?"

Kurumi frowned, her red eyes gleaming with anticipation as she asked a question.

"A pure white cube... I don't know about the others."

After a moment of thought, Leng Chang explained what he had seen and then said, "It seems there is indeed something in your eyes, but we just haven't been able to obtain it yet."

"alright."

……

After a short while, we ate and drank our fill.

Leng Chang and Kuang San walked out of the shop, and to everyone's surprise, Leng Chang saw a familiar face as they left the private room.

Mugino Shenli.

As they stepped out of the shop, Leng Chang and Mai Ye Shenli's eyes met, and both of them showed puzzled expressions.

However, I didn't pay much attention to it.

As I left the shop, it was already getting dark, and the streetlights were on.

Leng Chang walked silently beside Kurumi.

Suddenly, Leng Chang asked, "Do you know Mugino Shizuri?"

"Hmm? I remember it was Lv.5? Atomic Collapse? Why are you bringing her up?"

Kurumi turned her head in confusion, stopped in place and looked at Leng Chang, her eyes flashing with doubt.

The next second, a little girl wearing a brown vest and hood appeared not far ahead. She looked to be no more than twelve years old.

She stood in front of Leng Chang and Kuang San with her hands in her pockets, and there was something invisible covering her body.

Leng Chang recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

Silk flags are my favorite.

He slowly turned around to look behind him and found that there was another person on the road behind him.

A beret, long, golden waves in her hair, a dark blue school uniform, a red plaid skirt, black stockings, and light gray high heels.

With a silly smile on his face, his blue eyes stared at Leng Chang and Kuang San.
