What the Hell Are You?
(What the Hell Are You?)
There were no signs of a fight at the scene, but there were many footprints because students often held competitions here. Chen Fan removed the eyepatch over his right eye and scanned the surroundings, but found no traces of magic. That meant it had not been done by a magician.
With that possibility ruled out, it was likely someone within Academy City. It should not have been the Board of Directors. Nothing had happened for so many days, which meant those directors had settled down for now. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they would not choose this time, because Aleister would not allow it. After all, this was the time to promote Academy City.
It was then that Chen Fan noticed the small robotic dog hiding in the distance, still watching them. He immediately knew it had to be connected to this incident.
Suddenly, Chen Fan reached out and hugged the Misaka Sister. She was startled, her heartbeat quickening, but Chen Fan whispered into her ear, "Hug me. Listen to what I'm saying."
The Misaka Sister's face flushed slightly, but she still wrapped her arms around Chen Fan's waist. "Someone is using a robotic dog to observe us. It has been following us ever since we met, so it is very likely connected to this matter. Misaka 10032's disappearance should also be related to the person monitoring us. You are most likely the target."
After hearing that, the Misaka Sister calmed down. "So we'll split up in a moment. You'll act as bait and head toward an open area, pretending to search separately. I'll find that person."
The Misaka Sister nodded. Then Chen Fan released her, and a strange sense of emptiness suddenly filled her heart.
